Chapter 1166: Chapter 1153: How Could This Summoning Possibly Succeed? Chapter 1166: Chapter 1153: How Could This Summoning Possibly Succeed? Geese pass by leaving a trace, winds pass by leaving a sound.

This is the simplest of truths, whether it is plants or animals, or even natural phenomena, when they move or change, they will leave marks somewhere or in many places.

Similarly, when some powerful living entities are active, if they do not deliberately conceal their actions, they would leave traces that last for hundreds upon thousands of years, or even eternally un-faded, and these traces formed due to their activities sometimes become a medium.

…

“This recorded stuff is really interesting, communicating and even trading with enormous beings beyond the world through special arrays,” a young man with blond hair said smiling, looking at a tattered sheepskin scroll in his hands.

From what he knew, beyond the world lay infinite Void, but this Void was not completely silent; there were colossal entities that could walk through this Void.

However, such beings, for him at the moment, were no different from the myths and legends he heard, and he indeed regarded this knowledge as legend because, in his anticipation, these were entities he would never be able to contact in his lifetime.

Yes, these were entities he completely couldn’t contact, even if via the so-called arrays to actively communicate with them, not to mention whether communication would be successful, even if it was, so what? He was too weak; what right did he have to communicate with them?

Such beings, for a weak wizard like him, probably lacked even the interest to spare him a glance! And communicating with such beings was fraught with great uncertainties and dangers.

Of course, all this was predicated on successful communication, the materials needed for an array that could communicate with beings in the Void were simply beyond what a minor wizard like him could afford.

But, there are always exceptions, such as the scroll he now held in his hand, which he had picked up from a stall, claiming to enable communication with the Void God.

Because this seemingly high-grade scroll was marked remarkably cheap, out of curiosity, the young blond wizard bought it for amusement.

As he flipped through the scroll, he did so with the intention of seeing a joke, and indeed, he laughed,
“Who wrote this nonsense? The materials needed for this array are so cheap? After setting it up, what can he communicate with? Forget a god that walks through the Void, not even a big-mouthed swan could be contacted.”

Mockingly chiding and jeering, yet the blond wizard couldn’t help but casually lay out all the materials needed for this so-called array that could communicate with the Void God.

Because these materials were so cheap and common, and his Wizard Tower just happened to have these materials, he wanted to try out what kind of creature this cheap array could actually summon or communicate with.

After all, he was confident that, even if this low-level array managed to summon or communicate with a being and something unforeseen happened, he could easily suppress it with his own strength.

Thus, in no time, an array covering nearly a hundred square meters was set up. It was a massive grid formed with the cheapest extraordinary materials, twinkling with gleaming golden light, even some arcs of electricity flickering on it.

If a complete ignoramus saw this grid, they might think it was a highly advanced array. Ah, I misspoke, an ignoramus with unawakened Spiritual Intelligence might not even know what it’s used for.

The blond wizard looked at the array he had easily set up, his eyes filled with an indescribable hue. This array he had set up this time, using the cheapest materials possible, could be said to be the cheapest in his life, but its appearance was certainly daunting.

“What got into my nerves? Although they are only the cheapest materials, they still worth some money, alas, what a waste!”

The blond wizard rubbed his brow, suddenly regretting his frivolous activity, after all, this was a summoning array destined not to succeed, wasn’t it? Especially since what he wanted to communicate with was not any ordinary being, but the Void God!

Thinking so, the blond wizard didn’t dismantle the array; after all, it was already set up, so why not give it a try? Thus, he channeled the magical power he had cultivated into the array, activating it.

Then, he saw before him the array, radiant with golden light, even entwined with some electric arcs, pulling in the randomly stacked extraordinary items at its center, used as the initial offerings, sending out a summon towards the boundless Void.

“Hmm, as expected, it couldn’t be successful.” After waiting for quite a while without seeing any change in the array, the blond wizard rubbed his brow, his face showing no expression, as this was all within his expectations, for such a shabby array, had it really summoned something successfully, that would have been truly bizarre.

“Forget it, just consider it getting rid of some extraordinary materials that I might not have used anytime soon!”

The blond wizard glanced at the extraordinary items he had placed in the center of the array as a sacrifice, items he had acquired since he began his training. To him, these were of no use, but he still found himself reluctant to discard them. They were essentially items of little value.

At that moment, he watched as the spirit of those extraordinary items was extracted by the array, used as a sacrifice or rather as energy to be consumed. Gradually, these worthless extraordinary items lost their luster and turned into useless trash.

“Ha, I’ve just spent some boring time,” he thought. “I’ll have someone clean it up later.”

Seeing the extraordinary materials he had thrown into the array reduce one by one to remnants, the wizard turned around, knowing this summoning had ended and thus, this attempt to summon the Void God had declared a failure.

But just as the wizard had turned, something changed. The air suddenly thickened, and a suffocating oppressive force suddenly appeared in the Wizard Tower. His face stiffened slightly as he turned his head and looked at the array, now flickering with a faint golden light, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

He, had successfully summoned? He had summoned a celestial being capable of walking in the Void Beyond the World using these trash-like extraordinary materials? What a joke, how could that be possible? How could those grand beings beyond the world care about such a summoning?

Although the wizard could list a thousand and one reasons why this summoning should have failed, the changes happening around him clearly told him that this summoning, which was meant to pass the time, had succeeded.

Indeed, a terrifyingly powerful entity had responded to his summoning and brought its consciousness here.

Feeling as if he were buried in the earth, as if to suffocate to death like a mortal, the wizard stared in fear and awe at the array before him, watching the changes occurring on it, his emotions indescribable.

He watched helplessly as strands of golden light and tiny arcs of electricity ascended from the array right before his eyes, forming a pair of exceedingly vague eyes!

Merely being glanced by those blurry, barely discernible eyes, the wizard felt as if his Sea of Spirits had exploded, plunging everything before him into darkness as he staggered and fell.

Unaware of what followed, the wizard, after who knows how long, groggily opened his eyes after the unlikely use of the array to communicate with an unknown being from the Void resulted in an incident.

“Ah!!”

The just-awakened wizard screamed, his head feeling as if it had been fiercely struck with a sledgehammer, about to explode.

After crying out for a moment, the wizard finally adjusted to the pain and hurriedly looked at the nearby array. Everything was usual, except for the ashes left after the spiritual energy of the extraordinary materials used to construct the array was depleted.

“I actually succeeded,” the wizard propped himself up from the ground, his face in disbelief as he looked at the traces left on the array, “What exactly did I communicate with?”

“This feeling…” the wizard carefully recalled everything he had seen before he fainted, those golden eyes so faint they were almost invisible. Majestic, boundless, sacred yet noble… the wizard struggled to scrounge up some phrases he might never use in his lifetime.

“I actually did communicate with such a being.” The excruciating pain in his head had eased a lot after awakening, and as his consciousness gradually cleared, the wizard felt a deep sense of regret.

He had communicated with an exalted being that a grand wizard may never reach in a lifetime, yet he had merely glimpsed it and fainted, doing nothing—what was that about.

“Eso, there’s no need for regret. Facing such an existence, even if you luckily communicated, what difference would it make if you fainted or not?” the wizard consoled himself, but the sense of missing a tremendous opportunity kept burning at his fragile soul, feeling like his mind was going to explode.

In the midst of this regret, the explosive pain in the wizard’s head gradually disappeared, followed by a strong hunger originating from his abdomen, so sudden that he couldn’t wait to call his servant to prepare food.

Thus, wizard Eso, after continuously eating for an hour, noticed something abnormal about his body,
“What is this?” the wizard asked with a grim expression as he looked at a small pale golden scale that had grown on the back of his white hand, positive that he had not had such non-human features on his body before.

“Could this be the only gift, or rather, the side effect I received from accidentally communicating with that Void God?”
