A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 330 Goddess of the Magic Network

Jiang Shuzhou's mental energy fluctuations kept changing as he searched countless times for a way to enter the deep magic network.

He wasn't just making blind guesses; everything Jiang Shuzhou guessed was related to Matt Krofts.

He used his mental power to transmit information such as Matt Crofts' name, Mystra's name and birthday to the magic network, hoping to gain the corresponding permissions.

However, there has been no response.

Jiang Shuzhou frowned. Could it be that they really had to resort to force?

Jiang Shuzhou has knowledge of the Magic Network. In theory, he can analyze the information on the Magic Network and then gain access through the analysis.

However, this is quite difficult and requires a lot of computation time, so it's not really worth it.

If that's the case, Jiang Shuzhou's attempt can only end in failure.

Fortunately, the sky is endless.

Jiang Shuzhou typed in a long string of dragon language, which was Matt Crofts' name, along with some coded language from his book, and also the name Mystra.

That's how they finally managed to gain backend access.

This is Matt Krofts's access permission.

"Welcome, Mr. Matt Krofts."

With access to the Magic Network, things became much easier for Jiang Shuzhou.

"Wait a minute, why are there so many people using the Deep Magic Web?"

Jiang Shuzhou sensed that something was amiss.

Normally, even according to Matt Crofts's vision, there wouldn't be many people using the Deep Magic Web. They would all be maintenance personnel for the Magic Web, possessing the authority to distribute spells and also having the responsibility to update spell rune models.

As for Mystra's magic network, she considers it her private property, and it's impossible for her to delegate access to the deeper layers of the magic network to so many mages, unless...

Jiang Shuzhou began to feel the magic flowing within the deep magic network.

"Healing," "Blessing," "Divine Shield," "Dispel"

Soon, Jiang Shuzhou understood.

"Isn't this divine magic?"

No wonder the magic network was built so quickly; it turns out it was funded by the gods. Mystra sold the access to the deep magic network to the gods.

These gods used the magic network to bestow divine arts in order to conserve their divine power.

No wonder the magic network is still preserved within the territory of the Alliance of Saints, but mages cannot use it.

Jiang Shuzhou had previously thought that Mystra had blocked access to the Magic Network, but now he knew that the gods were also administrators of the Magic Network.

The gods, through the magic network, transformed the previously point-to-point bestowal of divine arts into a point-to-multipoint system.

Previously, managing each individual was a very laborious and time-consuming task, even for a god with the speed of calculation. But now, it's different with the Magic Network.

All they need to know is how many people have requested the Healing spell and how many have requested the Divine Shield spell. They can then approve all of them. The divine spells will be distributed uniformly, unlike before when they had to painstakingly manage who needed the Healing spell and who needed other divine spells.

One-click management—no wonder the gods were so happy that Mystra built the magic network.

Who wouldn't be happy to have something that saves so much time and effort?

This is equivalent to everyone using online group chats to process information while you're still using paper letters—the efficiency is many times worse.

As Jiang Shuzhou stared into the deep magic network, a bold idea emerged: humans are always lazy, and these gods who rose from humans are no exception.

These gods are used to convenience, so Jiang Shuzhou might be able to take advantage of the chaos and steal divine techniques for his own use.

For example, sending false information, impersonating a believer, and requesting divine intervention.

These gods process hundreds of millions of divine spells every second, so they might not pay attention to these...

Jiang Shuzhou had an idea: perhaps he could gain the ability to cast spells by exploiting the gods.

However, if possible, Jiang Shuzhou should still look for the legacy of the Blasphemous Priest. This profession can steal divine magic even without the magic network. If it were aided by the magic network, Jiang Shuzhou wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Perhaps Jiang Shuzhou could create a whole bunch of fake priests and fake paladins, who would consume the gods' power just by casting divine spells.

When the time comes, if they don't like a certain god, they can just attach these people to him and make them live off his salary without actually working for him.

Although priests have various shortcomings, it is undeniable that they are spellcasters with many divine spells at their disposal, and they can mass-produce them.

Jiang Shuzhou made up his mind: once he returned, he would spend a fortune to acquire the inherited knowledge of the blasphemous priests, and he would make this idea a reality no matter what.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Shuzhou used the magic network to send a request to the Earth Goddess to release a holy light spell. Of course, Jiang Shuzhou's identity was disguised in a simple way.

In less than a second, the request was approved, and Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, causing a bright holy light to shine.

It illuminated the pitch-black room, but not Jiang Shuzhou's face.

"very good."

Jiang Shuzhou smiled with satisfaction.

The experiment has been completed, and this idea is indeed feasible, but the specific implementation still needs to be handled by ourselves later.

Now, it's time to get down to business.

However, with Matt Crofts's privileges, creating an account that would prevent Mistra from being banned in the short term was exceptionally easy.

If not many people use the Magic Network, Jiang Shuzhou might start a data battle with Mystra to prevent his account from being banned too quickly.

But things are different now. The Deep Magic Network has trillions of users and a vast amount of divine magic is being transmitted.

The number of these divine spells transmitted is even more outrageous.

Creating an account that can cast spells in front of Mystra is simple: just mark the account as a priest, but use magic network spells, and change the spell log to divine spells.

In this way, even Mystra probably wouldn't have time to check them one by one, which would allow people to use a large number of spells in a short period of time.

Of course, as the number of times you cast spells through the magic network increases, you will eventually lose your account. But it doesn't matter, just register a few more.

Jiang Shuzhou randomly picked up a few stones, then used magic to transform them into rings. He then engraved runes on these rings to reinforce and store information, and used magic to inscribe account permissions into them. Anyone who wears the ring can use the account.

Having done all this, Jiang Shuzhou considered his mission complete and removed the magic array.

"How did it go? Did it work?"

Alger noticed Jiang Shuzhou the moment he arrived and immediately asked him a question.

"Of course, it can be considered a success, but it won't be usable for long."

Jiang Shuzhou said with a smile.

"Come on, give it a try."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou handed Alger a ring.

"By the way, any news about the other mages?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked.

"Nothing for now, but there was a violent surge of magical energy in the distance not long ago, so there must have been a battle going on."
