The Siren Sea Demon helped me collect the Heart of the Sea, I taught them knowledge, and helped them grow their tribe. It was a fair trade, wasn’t it? Using the name Ocean Goddess was merely for easier communication between us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan said nonchalantly, \"Then why are you showing yourself now? Are you looking for revenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You misunderstood.\" The gray-robed woman shook her head, \"I don’t intend that, nor am I your match. As for that Master-Touch Puppet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the squid puppet twitching on the ground, \"This is Fallen Star City’s automatic defense program that activates upon detecting invaders, I can’t control it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master-Touch Puppet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan recalled a creature resembling an octopus called the Golden Touch Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the squid puppet looked familiar earlier; turns out this puppet’s prototype was the Golden Touch Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a renowned divine creature!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I revealed myself is because I had no other choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed woman looked at the book on the stone pillar with a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe you’ve also noticed my current state. This book is my host form; if the book is damaged, I’ll also be obliterated. At this point, there’s no reason for me to keep hiding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan indeed had noticed long ago, the gray-robed woman was now in a ghostly state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, ghosts can’t exist long in the material realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they turn into vengeful spirits, attacking humans everywhere, devouring souls and flesh, evolving into evil spirits with earthbound attributes, then they could survive long-term in the material realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the evil spirit he encountered back at Kubero’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were special circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few individuals, after death, would integrate their soul into an object, becoming a ghost anchored to the object, thereby maintaining their soul body without dispersion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But achieving this isn’t easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the deceased must have had extremely powerful soul energy during their lifetime, they also need to find a suitable container to house the soul, along with enough luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the three can be missing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lacking any would result in failure, causing the soul to be obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the gray-robed woman before him was clearly one of those fortunate few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan was somewhat surprised by the gray-robed woman’s honesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon further thought, even if the gray-robed woman didn’t say anything, he would soon realize it. It’s better to be open instead of being exposed, which might leave a good impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan made a beckoning gesture, and the book on the stone pillar floated up and landed in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her vital host fell into another’s hands, the gray-robed woman’s body instinctively tensed, but she quickly restrained herself, biting her lip lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan, as if unnoticed, opened the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What greeted his eyes were densely packed magic models, each page with one, from Tier Zero to Tier Three, roughly estimating no less than a hundred spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan immediately made a judgment in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much like a Magic Storage Staff, a tome is also inscribed with magic models, which can release spells when activated, serving as a magical item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to the former, a tome can inscribe more spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most tomes typically only store twenty to thirty spells, mainly Tier One or Tier Two, unlike this tome, which contains over a hundred spells, including many Tier Three spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power, even if not comparable to a Witchcraft Artifact, definitely ranks top-tier among Micro-Light Level magical items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan closed the book, with an answer already formed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it was with this tome that you controlled storms and waves to help the Siren Sea Demon defeat their enemies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, there’s no need to hide anything, the gray-robed woman admitted openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before becoming like this, I was a wizard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Sunan wasn’t surprised; rather, he showed a ’just as I thought’ expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After death, being able to integrate the soul into a tome and use it in a ghostly form is not something an ordinary person can achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a wizard could reach such a level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a spark of realization flashed in Sunan’s mind, he asked: \"What’s your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lize Russell.\" The gray-robed woman said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan’s eyes narrowed, taking a deep look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you are the ancestor of the Russell Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Russell Clan is the guardian of Fallen Star City, having historically produced a wizard, and since the gray-robed woman appeared within Fallen Star City and was a wizard in life, he wouldn’t believe there’s no connection here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he inquired, it turned out to be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know me?\" Lize’s purple eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I just heard your family mention you.\" Sunan smiled, \"The Russell Clan is now also a member of the Star Alliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lize was momentarily stunned, then nodded in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True enough, you’re an Official Wizard, it’s normal for the Russell Clan to join your ranks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, I didn’t expect the Starlight Continent to still produce an Official Wizard nowadays.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lize looked at Sunan with both amazement and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had witnessed the era of elemental depletion, knowing clearly how exceptional the talent needed to be, and how much effort had to be exerted to have even a sliver of hope in advancing as a wizard under energy scarcity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person before him must have made unimaginable efforts and endured numerous hardships to achieve his current accomplishments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why, upon discovering he was a wizard, she revealed herself immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the current Starlight Continent, only he might be capable of helping her achieve her goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m more curious about why you’ve become like this and what’s the story with Fallen Star City?\" Sunan broached the main topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lize fell silent for a moment, not answering but asking instead: \"Do you know the origin of Fallen Star City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A legacy left by wizards a thousand years ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but not entirely.\" Lize nodded but then shook her head, \"Have you heard of the Starfall Association?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Starfall Association? Isn’t it already extinct?\" Sunan glanced at Lize, \"You’re a member of the Starfall Association.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lize’s expression froze, now genuinely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Starfall Association was a wizard influence from a thousand years ago, Sunan shouldn’t have heard about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She merely asked casually, prepared to explain, never expecting Sunan actually knew about the Starfall Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even knew the Starfall Association was extinct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is the origin of this person?\u003C\u002Fp>",1449,"2026-06-06T02:33:43.454Z",1,"novelbin.me","b1496ac78b265ebe1390b6eb00cc221b3eb97cc051895efde9e086ad7786d69e","synthetic-wizard-chapter-364","synthetic-wizard-chapter-362",369,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsynthetic-wizard-cover.jpg"]
