“Ding, reputation points + 100.”
“Ding, reputation points + 100.”
“…”
Augustus, in a luxuriously designed courtyard.
At this moment, Lin En was lying on a recliner, shaking his leg when a notification suddenly appeared in his mind.
2
At the sound of the system’s crazy notification, he raised his eyelids, slowly opened his sleepy eyes, and stretched.
Lin En was not originally from this world. He had transmigrated to this world when he was young.
He had long been used to living in this world.
Moreover, he was a rich young master. He was probably the only person in Augustus Magic Academy who relied on his connections to get in.
After all, his family was a wealthy merchant family, and he was an only child.
Although Augustus’ status was greater than that of the kingdom, no matter where you were, you still needed a large amount of money to support yourself.
When he first came here, Lin En was terrified.
At that time, he was only three years old when he saw a mage use a fireball spell to directly turn a person into ashes.
Fortunately, he had the benefits of a transmigrator and obtained the Golden Board of Heaven and Earth System.
If not for this thing, he would have died countless times in this strange world.
He was a mage.
A mage was the derivation of human civilization, and also the result of human civilization’s hard work.
It was rumored that the ranks of mages were divided into several levels.
Apprentice mage, mage initiate, mage, great mage, high mage, grand mage, mage god.
There were several major ranks, and each major rank was divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
There were a total of seven categories and 21 ranks.
When one achieved the category of mage god, that person has three choices. Those who chose faith would ascend to Heaven as the faithful and become an angel. At the same time, the race of those who have ascended would also receive the blessings of Heaven.
The second choice was fallen.
A fallen mage would fall into the Abyss. Similarly, after a fallen mage has left the human world, they would also receive the protection of the Abyss.
The third choice was to continue advancing from their mage god status. A two-star mage god possessed a strength that was equivalent to a two-winged angel in Heaven.
There was a total of 16 levels of mage god, the highest being a 16-star mage god. Once one reached the level 16-star mage god, they would be unafraid of all powerhouses in the world.
Legend has it that there had indeed been such a powerful mage god in the human world. It was even possible that he existed now. However, for some unknown reason, he had hidden himself within the vastness of this world.
Without the protection of an extremely powerful person, most people would choose to advance directly to become an angel if they advanced to the category of mage god.
“It seems that the harvest is not bad.”
Lin En muttered and took a sip of the spiritual tea on the table beside him. With a thought, he summoned the system.
In the next moment, a translucent screen, which only he can see, appeared in front of him.
Host: Lin En.
Level: one-star mage god.
2
Training Hall: Golden Board of Heaven and Earth Courtyard.
Reputation Points: 100 Thousand
Current Authority: Level 2 (100,000/200,000)
Magic Attribute: Thunder.
Magic Technique: Instant burst
The so-called magic technique was actually a specific spell used by an ordinary mage to prompt the elves from nature to cast magic.
A mage god would have already reached the level of instant burst magic.
Item: Golden Board of Heaven and Earth stone tablet.
Upgrading the system was considered simple. As long as one continued to obtain reputation points through various methods, they would be able to increase their authority in the system.
One would receive a generous reward for each authority upgrade.
“Ding, Congratulations to host for obtaining the mage god spiritual body.”
Mage god spiritual body: without exception, the greatest weakness of a mage was their body’s frailness. As long as one reached the category of mage god, he or she would be able to make up for his or her weakness by casting spells instantaneously.
However, if he or she were to be ambushed, the mage god might also perish.
As for the mage god spiritual body, it could absorb natural energy at all times. It could baptize the body, strengthen the body, and even turn the body into an elemental form. In the end, it would be immune to all magic attacks of the same level.
“Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Lightning Shield.”
“Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Spell.”
…
“This reward is really generous!”
Lin En was full of smiles, and his mood was indescribably good.
Being indifferent had its benefits.
He directly opened the system storage and saw a dazzling array of items. Some looked ordinary, while others were sparkling with spiritual essence and resplendent with light. One look was enough to tell that they were extraordinary.
Of course, the items produced by the system were of high quality. Even those silly-looking magic robes were extraordinary.
After scanning through them one by one, Lin En’s gaze stopped at the last box.
There was a pale golden treasure chest with the words “Golden Treasure Chest” written on it.
That was the reward given by the system after the system’s authority had been upgraded to Level 2.
This reward was worlds apart from those rewards just now.
Every golden treasure chest contained something that was rarely seen in the world.
Any one of these items would definitely cause bloodshed in the entire human society.
His gaze lingered on the treasure chest for a while, but he didn’t open it immediately.
Instead, he looked at a phantom in the system inventory.
That phantom was the mage god spiritual body. He could not see any of its features clearly. An ancient aura was emanating from it.
If a human being were to see something like this, they would definitely go crazy.
There was actually such a thing in the world. Whoever fused with the mage god spiritual body would experience a physical transformation. What was the weakest part of a mage? The body.
Elemental transformation, what was elemental transformation? Was it transforming the body into a mage’s main magic attribute? Lin En’s main magic attribute was thunder. If he encountered a powerful orc warrior in a battle, the opponent would chop down with an ax. It would be as powerful as a thousand tons, cutting off Lin En’s head. However, in the next moment, Lin En’s head would condense lightning and form rapidly again. This was simply an invincible position for someone of the same category as the enemy.

Speaking of being immune to magic attacks, if the other party was also a mage god who had launched a forbidden spell that could destroy the world, but ended up being actually ineffective in the end, perhaps the other party would go crazy.
In reality, with so many resources, Lin En was only a one-star mage god.
He was completely limited by his physique and his current physique was no better than a pig.
The appearance of the mage god spiritual body was undoubtedly a timely help.
Without thinking, he silently chanted ‘Fuse’ in his mind.
The phantom image turned into light and rushed into his body.
Crack, crack.
In an instant, lightning erupted around Lynn, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in light.

Rays of colorful energy rushed into his body and fused with his flesh.
Lin En roared.
It was too painful. In that instant, his original body seemed to have turned into nothingness.
Although he did not know what it felt like to die, Lin En did feel like he had died once.
Suddenly, he could look into the eyes of the God of War, who cultivated the extreme physical body.
He saw that his heart was no longer a blood-red entity, but a heart made of elemental lightning and fire.
