Chapter 374: The Secretive

The dream-like magic light disappeared. The silver lines on the floor had all turned into burned black as if they were drawn using charcoal.

Lucien had never felt more powerful, as the bond between his soul and his cognition world had been further strengthened. He felt that one day he might be able to cast his soul and cognition world into the real material world to turn the virtual into the reality. However, Lucien was aware of the fact that this would at least require the power of a legendary level archmage. For example, he knew that when his teacher, Fernando, was suffering from the great shift of his cognition world, the entire Allyn was covered with the dark clouds, shivering with the flashes of lightning.

Lucien finally felt what it was like to be a senior-rank mage. Raising his hands, he looked at them, feeling very encouraged. Although his hands looked still the same, Lucien could feel the power in them from his soul, spiritual power and his cognition world.

”Sir, what did you say?” Thompson asked, ”Untraceable... Destiny?”

Lucien heard the question. He had no idea what Thompson was saying. What was Untraceable Destiny? What happened during the rite? Did it have anything to do with his Host Star of Destiny?

Lucien had so many questions in his mind.

Thompson felt the horrible power in the magic rite and the words Fernando burst out. As an eighth-circle sorcerer and a member of the Affairs Committee, he had never heard about something like this. What happened to Lucien?

Fernando did not answer his question right away, but gently rubbed the head of Alferris, who also felt rather confused. Then, he asked Lucien:

”Are you a senior-rank now?”

”Yes, sir… I managed to stop the expansion,” answered Lucien honestly. ”Sir, what did you just say? What is this Untraceable Destiny? When I was trying to control the power, I felt something changing in my Host Star of Destiny.”

”You're such a troublemaker,” said Fernando with a gloomy look. ”Couldn't you just wait for another three or four years to make the advancement? But you just had to do it right now.”

However, after pausing a bit, Fernando continued, ”I should not comment too much on those things related to your cognition world since it is your own business. But, if you want to know, I'll tell you something… The Untraceable Destiny refers to the special group of sorcerers who are free from the constraint of destiny. When they connected to the Host Star of Destiny and got their own reflection, because of some unknown reasons, their reflection collapsed and the host star lost its radiance, and thus the trace can never be observed again. In other words, they are the sorcerers who cannot be prophesied.”

”What?!” Thompson was very surprised, and then he turned to look at Lucien in great shock.

Any sorcerers who studied astrology would hold destiny in awe. It was Thompson's first time hearing that there was a group of people who were not affected by destiny!

”So what… They still died anyway.” Fernando sneered.

”They died… Sir, who were they?” asked Lucien curiously.

Fernando grinned, ”I know five of them. The most famous one should be the archon of the Sylvanas Magic Empire, the Sun King, Thanos. The other four sorcerers were also legendary archmages but all of them died.”

”Thanos was an Untraceable? Then how did he become the Sun King? There is no historical record for this…” Thompson was very surprised. After all, the Sun King was one of the legendary classes of the school of ancient Astrology, and it was said that to become a Sun King, one had to turn his or her Host Star of Destiny into a sun to make further advances. If his Host Star of Destiny had collapsed, how did he make the further progress?

Lucien was just as confused.

Fernando shook his head and smiled, ”Only the members of the Highest Council can have the access to the secret record. Well, maybe some really old ancient sorcerers have also heard something about it. Thanos reached the legendary level with an artificial small sun made of a great number of sunstones and the body of an ancient evil creature called Chirchira. At that time, almost every single legendary sorcerer believed that a sorcerer using this kind of method to reach the legendary level would not be able to proceed any further, however, in the end, Thanos became the one standing on the summit.”

”So, the Untraceable always create miracles… Are they the sons of Destiny?” As Thompson was saying, he looked at Lucien.
