felt somewhat guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the relevant rules, all members of the Source of All Magic are eligible to submit papers to school magic journals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, all submitted papers must not contain plagiarism and must pass a review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As recorded within, plagiarism means that the submitted paper cannot be exactly the same as the content recorded in the school library’s magic books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each issue of the journal will be included in the library, but aside from that, any valuable content is not restricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t this give mages who join other schools quite an advantage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By mastering much magic knowledge that the Source of All Magic doesn’t have, can’t they publish many papers to earn arcane points?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… this seems to be something that can’t be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in some sense, this is a good thing for the Source of All Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can make the already formidable library even more enriched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Councilor Lis surely has his reasons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cole shook his head, feeling thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each published paper is judged based on its innovation, importance, rigor, and breakthroughs, and given different arcane points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, based on the number of citations a paper receives, additional arcane points are given.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cited?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Cole realized there was much he didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew very well that this so-called magic journal was the core of the Source of All Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the last sentence of the journal’s rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wisdom is great because it is shared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this Lis’s expectation for the Source of All Magic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The already high image of Lis in Cole’s mind grew even more exalted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those with profound backgrounds, joining the Source of All Magic might be the icing on the cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for a little mage like Cole, it’s like timely help, a gift of a second chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I try writing a paper sometime?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cole silently made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The format and requirements for the paper are already given in the magic intelligence, so it’s worth trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cole looked at “Nature” in his hand, where all the papers were authored by Councilor Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The depth of these papers varied, with some being straightforward enough for Cole to understand directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, there were others profound enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each word Cole recognized, but when put together, he felt bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, this made Cole somewhat relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems… writing a paper isn’t too difficult…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Mage Tower of the Source of All Magic,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>on one of its levels, there’s a elegantly decorated reception room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entry, every sight is filled with exquisite and luxurious decorations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls are inset with magic crystals that glimmer faintly, akin to stars in the night sky, emitting a gentle and enchanting glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceiling is adorned with vivid magic rune patterns, seemingly containing infinite magic, ready to be awakened at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the reception room, there are a few exceptionally soft sofas, and on the small table in front of them, exquisite glasses are filled with rich amber-colored liquid, gleaming enticingly under the light, its mellow aroma spreading through the air, leaving an infinite aftertaste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, there are also some artistically crafted cakes and pastries, their delicate cream garnished with fresh fruits, colorful and mouthwatering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An older man sat on the sofa, donned in a simple long cyan robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole being wasn’t overly adorned, yet appeared remarkably simple and grand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long brown hair casually tied at the back of his head, a few strands naturally falling by his cheeks, lending him an air of dashing and free-spirited charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir Simone, nice to see you again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis smiled as he addressed the brown-haired man sitting before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Present here was the association’s legendary member, the Free Reciter, Simone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lis first participated in the Legendary Council meeting, Simone was one of those introduced to him by Oriolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis had a certain understanding of Simone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His past was somewhat legendary…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was once a minstrel traveling across the continent, but by sheer coincidence transitioned into a mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it was clear his talent as a mage far exceeded his prowess as a minstrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite smoothly, he achieved becoming a legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seemingly unable to abandon his past life, he often roleplays as a minstrel even after achieving legend status, appearing in many cities across the Pan-Continent Mage Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one can pass his “test,” they would receive a small gift from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His “test” wasn’t any battle or magic but rather guessing the name of an introductory recitation of poetry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, he became a hidden character in players’ minds, gaining considerable popularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s also the legendary figure that players encounter most frequently within the Pan-Continent Mage Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Lis has quite an understanding of Simone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is our first time meeting, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir Lis, I wonder why you suddenly invited me here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simone smiled as he spoke while looking at Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, while setting up the Source of All Magic, Lis has certainly attracted attention from other legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even stirring waves within the entire Pan-Continent Mage Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Simone didn’t see this as a bad thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, the Pan-Continent Mage Association used to be somewhat tedious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simone was happy to see figures like Lis bringing change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, minstrels thrive on variety and adventure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir Simone, let me be direct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve invited you today because I wish to ask you to join the Source of All Magic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis smiled as he addressed Simone before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simone raised his head in slight surprise upon hearing Lis’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Invite me to join the Source of All Magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis nodded affirmatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recently, surely many legends have approached you wanting to join the Source of All Magic, haven’t they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you suddenly invite me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simone asked as he looked at Lis, after a slight pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Simone’s question, Lis nodded and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent times, though outwardly calm, numerous legendary members have clandestinely contacted Lis seeking to join the Source of All Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the allure of Kane Floating City lies there; which legend could resist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lis has temporarily brushed off their advances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that Lis isn’t planning on letting them join; he’s merely not ready to agree immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, as the Source of All Magic hasn’t fully organized its affairs, hasty recruitment of legends would only invite the risk of slipping out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, Lis has made some moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the key individuals in the Pan-Continent Mage Association, Lis aimed to first draw them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amongst them was the Free Reciter, Simone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Lis first reached out to Councilor Simone is because of his familiarity with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows that Councilor Simone, due to his unique hobby, stands out somewhat singularly within the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t belong to any school, nor any external forces outside the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, due to his hobby, Councilor Simone is keen on exploring other domains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s quite knowledgeable across numerous domains of spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is why he’s able to award various types of rewards to players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is exactly what Lis found beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you want me to be the associate editor of the Source of All Magic’s magic journal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simone listened to Lis’s offer with a bit of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short, aside from me, you’ll primarily be responsible for the magic journal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis sipped a mouthful of fine wine from his cup, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simone, what do you think of these magic journals…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simone sighed after a moment of silence and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A genius idea, if you persist, will change the entire Pan-Continent Mage Association!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then, do you wish to join?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis smilingly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simone laughed in response:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a splendid adventure, how could I miss out?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1305,"2026-06-03T10:58:55.480Z","2026-06-03T10:58:59.615Z",1,"novelbin.me","4045e7845b93158266cf7cfa553551943c419fd4674ba7280ee5bdc2d64a5abd","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1378","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1376",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
