Chapter 048 Ancient One’S Poor Acting Skills!

Wang was feeling very depressed at that moment.

Although magic talents vary from person to person, he had heard from the Ancient One that Luo Bai's magical talent was exceptionally high. But… this was too high!

Who could compete with him?

It took Wang half a lifetime to learn how to open a portal with his mind, yet Luo Bai picked it up so quickly.

Thinking of this, Wang couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Master Ancient One chose you; you are indeed outstanding."

Luo Bai didn't respond but simply passed through the portal and arrived at Kama Taj.

At this time, everything seemed normal in Karma Taj; there didn't appear to be any differences.

After closing the portal, Luo Bai asked, "Did something happen that made you come back to me in such a hurry?"

Wang explained seriously, "Master Ancient One said that you haven't stayed in Kama Taj for too long, so there are many things you might not be aware of. I need to inform you about these matters. The Earth is not safe right now, and outsiders could invade at any time. So, I had to ask you back as soon as possible."

A catastrophic disaster could occur at any moment. Countless races in the multiverse were eyeing the fertile planet Earth, especially Domu.

With the Ancient One "gone," no one could guarantee that Domu wouldn't take advantage of the situation.

Finding Luo Bai was very urgent, which is why Wang was in such a hurry.

However, Luo Bai felt relieved to learn that the Earth was not in immediate danger.

He glanced around Kama Taj. Although he had been here several times before, his mindset was noticeably different this time due to his changed status.

This state of mind was difficult to describe, but fortunately, he calmed down quickly.

"Lead the way," Luo Bai said.

Wang nodded and guided him forward.

As they walked, Luo Bai, having good hearing, inadvertently overheard several mages conversing.

"Why did the Supreme Mage die suddenly?"

"I heard he fell to his death."

"Fell to his death? How is that possible?"

"It seems that a powerful dark force invaded the Earth at night. The Supreme Mage went to resist it and was fatally injured, leading to his fall. To be precise, he was killed by the dark force."

"Dark force? Is it Domu?"

"Unclear, but it's very powerful. Karma Taj's magic circle didn't even detect it!"

"This is too scary! The enemy can now evade the monitoring of the magic circle!"

"Yes, the Earth is becoming increasingly dangerous. The enemy is growing stronger, and we must improve our strength as soon as possible."

"I really can't believe the Supreme Mage left us like this…"

"It's time to change the way we refer to her. We should now call her the Ancient One, as the new Supreme Mage is here. It's said he is a genius mage."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai stopped listening, utterly shocked.

He couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Wang, did the Ancient One… fall to her death?"

"To be precise, she was seriously injured while resisting the dark force and then fell to her death," Wang answered gravely.

Luo Bai was silent, his expression a mixture of disbelief and concern.

...

The Ancient One's soul now follows Eternity, meaning her physical body has been abandoned.

She created a reasonable "death" to announce her departure and simultaneously herald the arrival of the new Supreme Mage.

In the original plot, the Ancient One's "death" occurred while battling the rebel Casillas. After being stabbed, she fell from a tall building and died.

But that was supposed to happen at least a year later.

Casillas wasn't rebelling now, nor was there any sign of Blacken.

Luo Bai thought the Ancient One would at least announce her "death" in a different way.

He never expected her to use the exact same "routine" without even reworking the script.

And making up an unknown "dark force" that even the temple couldn't detect?

For a moment, Luo Bai could already imagine how the Ancient One would handle this poorly executed act.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but ask, "Can I inquire about the dark force that led to the Ancient One's demise?"

"I don't know. The Ancient One was fighting against the dark forces outside the Earth, and the temple didn't even detect it," Wang replied seriously.

"..."

Luo Bai remained silent.

Okay, Ancient One!

Retiring without even changing the script?

Thinking this, Luo Bai couldn't help but complain, "That must be an incredibly evil god or a dark sorcerer; otherwise, the temple would have detected it."

"The Earth has always been dangerous, and what we're up against is far more terrifying than we imagined. The incident involving the Ancient One serves as a reminder that the detection circle may need an upgrade," Wang said, his expression very solemn.

Luo Bai didn't say anything more and just followed Wang.

Soon, the two of them walked into a dark space, where Modu stood in the center.

"You're here," Modu greeted as soon as they arrived.

Wang nodded and walked toward the magic platform in the center.

As he walked, he said, "Magic has always protected the world from magical threats.

Agamotto, the first Supreme Mage, is considered the first person to understand the mysteries of the universe. He founded the lineage of mages on Earth, creating the Eye of Agamotto and establishing the three major temples in the current city."

As Wang spoke, he looked up at the shining spherical object spinning above his head, which was a representation of the Earth.

The simulated Earth in the temple was conjured using magic.

Many dangers could be detected through this Earth.

"Look around; there are stone doors with symbols on them. They are portals to different temples. Through these doors, you can reach the cities where the temples are located. This door leads to Hong Kong, this one leads to London, and finally, this one leads to New York."

"The three temples form a protective network for our world today, also known as the detection circle. The temple protects the world, and we protect the temple."

"The temple is very important to Kama Taj. It can detect and protect the Earth. It serves as the first line of defense against creatures from other realms and invaders from the multiverse that could potentially destroy the temple."

Wang continued his introduction.

As he finished speaking, a magical protective array appeared over the locations of the three temples represented in the simulated Earth.

The protective array spread outward until the three temples were connected, enveloping the entire Earth.

"I understand," Luo Bai nodded.

He almost grasped the connection between the temple and the entire Earth.

Seeing that Luo Bai understood most of the concepts, Modu quickly presented a list: "This is the list of mages from Kama Taj so far. I checked it and found no omissions."

This list was clearly prepared for Luo Bai.

After all, Luo Bai had just become the Supreme Mage, so he needed to familiarize himself with the names of all these mages.

After taking the list and reviewing it, Luo Bai nodded, "I'll remember these names."

As soon as he finished speaking, Modu handed over several documents.

These contained information on Kama Taj's existing magical weapons, the current library contents, and more—almost everything that needed to be explained was included.

After listening to Wang and Modu's explanations for about half an hour, Luo Bai finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"

The two thought for a moment and, after confirming they had answered all questions, replied, "That should be all, Supreme Mage."

Luo Bai nodded.

He was about to head to the magical weapon room and the temple when Modu replied, "I may need to trouble you to come to the training ground at about 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. After all, you are the new Supreme Mage, and you should let all the mages get to know you."

"... Good."
