But now it's different. The Lake Light Inheritance of the Sea of Knowledge and the Eternal City of the Time Continent have directly become the hot topics of discussion worldwide. Mages strongly desire to analyze gains and losses with others to advance further in the inheritance.

Thus, Senluo mages voluntarily gathered at the trade center, actively seeking intelligence exchanges.

The Fox Lamp Icehouse was originally just a restaurant, but since Senluo mages often came here for discussion, the icehouse manager had a clever idea, implementing the rule of "provide inheritance intelligence to get a free meal." She wrote the intelligence provided by everyone on the whiteboard behind her, visible to all, turning this place into the intelligence exchange hub of Black Robe Town.

Some might be surprised that with the confidential information about Angel Inheritance, mages could share openly rather than keep it secret; how could they possibly bring it up for discussion?

However, intelligence comes in many forms. The 'superior intelligence' that could give one an edge, of course, wouldn't be openly shared. Yet there were many 'odd and curious tales' worth discussing that couldn't enhance one's advantage, which became the main topics at the icehouse.

And don't underestimate the mages' desire to express themselves.

Any mage must have received the legacy from venerable predecessors in the Void Realm. This natural atmosphere of inheritance ensures mages won't resist exchange; furthermore, as a group constantly needing new knowledge input, they must regularly output to maintain physical and mental health.

Just like eating leads to digestion, watching a soul-touching film makes you want to write reviews, reading a good book prompts leaving comments… seeking emotional resonance is the instinct of creatures, seeking knowledge collision is the nature of mages.

Ash voluntarily provided the intelligence about the Ghost Inheritance because he gained so much intriguing information from here, thereby returning the favor to the community while saving some money with his free meal.

Firstly, just like Ash obtained the "Ghost Manual," the Lake Light Inheritance and Eternal City successively awarded the "Lake Light Manual" and "Time Manual," which might imply that leaving half of the Mage's Handbook is a tradition of Angel Inheritance, further indicating both the Lake Light Angel and King of Time walked the Path of Origin to ascend the Void Realm, thus meeting the Angel of Ruby Mountain, creating Mage's Handbook during their lifetime!

Even a single Angel is remarkable, but three Angels walking the Path of Origin naturally raises this thought among mages: in the distant past, could it be that walking the Path of Origin was the most rewarding high-end upgrading method?

Is the modern method of ascending through faction realm actually the lower-reward, inferior upgrading method?

The contents of the "Lake Light Manual" and "Time Manual" also sequentially verified the mages' thoughts. Worth noting is that the era of the Lake Light Angel seems to be the most ancient, followed by the King of Time, and the Ghost Prophet is closest to modern times.

In the era of the Lake Light Angel as a Silver Mage, the Sea of Knowledge harbored a Shallow Sea kingdom composed of silver-scaled Fishmen, which had a unique mechanism named "Silver Wing Trial." Mages who passed the trial could gain a second Silver Wing, thereby tracking down golden fish to reach the Time Continent.

The passing rate of the Silver Wing Trial was one in ten thousand; only genius mages could possibly succeed. From the written words, the relationship between mages and silver-scaled Fishmen then should still be harmonious.

But by the age of the King of Time, the Sea of Knowledge transformed into a war hunting ground between mages and silver-scaled Fishmen. Thus, the only remaining path to find golden fish was to kill enough Fishmen, strip off their scales, and forge one's second Silver Wing!

The combat power of silver-scaled Fishmen generally equaled that of One-winged Mages, some even being Two-winged Mages, and they usually congregated impulsively, implying the difficulty in hunting them.

By the era of the Ghost Prophet, only a small group of silver-scaled Fishmen remained, which were subsequently exterminated by the Ghost Prophet, making the second Silver Wing a thing of the past.

The Ghost Prophet's knowledge regarding the Time Continent doesn't differ much from the present, except that it recorded two additional color mechanisms.

However, the descriptions of the Lake Light Angel and King of Time utterly overturned the modern mages' worldview — the Time Continent in the past indeed had a kingdom!

During that time, the Time Continent wasn't called the Time Continent but the 'Concept Continent,' whose indigenous inhabitants called themselves 'Concept Essence' and 'Law Spirit,' while mages termed them — Elves!

They were natural-born mages capable of regulating the Flowing Gold River, commanding Void Realm creatures, and developing continental resources; their longevity was vast, and despite their sparse numbers, they developed a great mage civilization!

The resource points still operating on the Time Continent are products of that era!

Clearly, the ancient Elves and contemporary Elves are different species. To distinguish them, mages call them ancient Elves.

During the Lake Light Angel's era, mages and ancient Elves already had frequent clashes, even igniting the 'Sky Turmoil,' where ancient Elf mages rode dragon species to hunt other-race mages everywhere, causing widespread complaints among human and other mages and intense conflicts.

Back then, mages were still dominated by ancient Elves since other-race mages on the Time Continent were all Two-winged, whereas ancient Elves, given their bodies were on the Time Continent, could continue to stay even when they raised their power to Holy Domain Legendary!

It's imaginable how hard it was for other-race mages during 'Sky Turmoil'; they were besieged not only by hordes of ancient Elf mages but also by Holy Domain Legendary far over themselves! It was akin to children being thrashed by adults!
