Chapter 206: We Really Did It!
"Today, we have successfully taken the first step!"
Celia stared excitedly at the highlighted core rune. "After countless iterations and starting over from scratch, we have finally designed and verified the first, and most fundamental, purification rune!"
As she finished, several elders of the Truth faction could no longer suppress their emotions. Elder Barnes's voice trembled violently, and his aged, withered face was filled with a near-fanatical excitement.
"We really did it... We actually did it!"
The elders felt as though they were in a dream.
A full thousand years... That great mission, which had always seemed forever out of reach, was actually going to be completed in their generation, by their own hands?
One had to understand that almost the entire magic world was currently shrouded in a pessimistic consensus: the problem of magic pollution was unsolvable.
The Truth faction, which had always been dedicated to studying the nature of pollution and methods to combat it, had long ago accepted a cruel conclusion after countless failures—magic was dead.
Learning magic would ultimately lead only to collective madness and destruction.
