Chapter 454: Chapter 230: How the Protagonist Was Born (6k)

"The condition is not good, no, it’s extremely bad!

It’s not just this ’God’, but also the facilities here.

Those guys from the Church Court can’t use magic, let alone maintain the equipment here!

These arrays have never been shut down since the start of the Church Court war a thousand years ago!

It’s already a miracle they’re still running; it was the great design by the Great Mages back then!

Moreover, although the arrays were the pinnacle of technology at that time, by today’s standards they are very outdated, with many design flaws.

Some arrays are even completely scrapped; it was only because the Great Mages had no shortage of funds and materials, relying on material strength, that these arrays have persisted until today.

Additionally, our chaotic faith conflict earlier nearly overloaded the arrays.

A comprehensive inspection is necessary!"

The witch handling the internal inspection was evidently a bit flushed; this was the first time her blood pressure went so high.

Even when her ungrateful disciples blew up her laboratory, she didn’t feel this way.

At first, she thought she had seen it all during inspections.

But as she continued her examination, this Mage Tower kept reshaping her understanding.

What is going on here? Why is the main array still operational when all the subsidiary arrays have exploded?

Why was a Tier Six magic crystal used in a place that only needed a simple buffer array?

How can all these damaged arrays still function?

Upon completing her inspection, she could only sigh, "I don’t understand, but I’m deeply shocked."

In fact, even without the witches’ interference, the Magic Tower in its current state would not last another millennium.

It might even collapse at any moment within five hundred years, further causing their God to disperse due to the loss of its environment.

After all, their so-called God isn’t a true deity, needing the combination of the Mage Tower and the people’s faith to sustain its unstable existence.

Both elements are indispensable.

Once the maintenance device collapses, regardless of the strength of faith, this entity known as "God" would inevitably face dissolution.

After venting her frustrations, the witch continued to respond.

"Fortunately, all followers are now silent.

With no extra faith influx, the array pressure has decreased significantly; just some guidance is needed to at least maintain stability.

Moreover, during the recent inspection, we discovered some of the Church’s observational reports on this "God" and a few undiscovered sealed rooms.

Many preserved materials from the magic era were found inside!

According to the descriptions, it seemed to be the personal study of that Great Mage, recording many research ideas of the time!

Ha, that room actually wasn’t heavily sealed, but the people of the Church dared not touch the arrays, fearing it might affect their God.

It seems they knew themselves that without the Mage Tower, their God would cease to exist.

As a result, most things in this Mage Tower, even the decorations, have been left untouched, retaining their original state.

Yet, it is a fact that the Mage Tower lacks maintenance.

It could enter a collapse state at any time; I think if we want to repair it, it’s best to review all this material for the technical details first."

Yun Dao had no objections to this; it was within her expectations, though the reality was even more dilapidated than imagined.

She had long suspected this when she noticed that the Church hadn’t used any magic-related items, nor had there been any signs of the sealed magic data in the main continent’s Church being disturbed.

And arriving at this sacred place and seeing the protective barrier only confirmed her suspicion.

A normal protective barrier, even for such a large facility, shouldn’t have such easily detectable weaknesses.

Even accounting for outdated technology, at its construction, this was a symbol of advancement, not backwardness.

Otherwise, the Great Mage wouldn’t have chosen it for his Magic Tower’s protection.

Such obvious vulnerabilities were always going to be noticeable and easily targeted.

This implies that, at least back then, no obvious flaws could be seen.

Yet from that protective barrier, she easily identified the issues from irregular energy flows.

And it was far more apparent than what she witnessed in the memories of the person converted into a Tier Six witch, which pointed to one conclusion—

The arrays have had no maintenance all these years, continuously worn out by repeated use.

Yet Yun Dao kept thinking that such high-end magic artifacts wouldn’t go unmaintained.

But the Church occupied this place for such a long time, even for their God, even for their doctrine.

Ignoring other magic, at the very least, they’d understand the Mage Tower related to their God, wouldn’t they?

Even if they didn’t understand the principles, they’d at least learn to replace parts and operate them, no?

But reality seemed even more pathetic.

Maybe it was their anti-magic doctrine that led to disdain for learning, or perhaps other reasons.
