Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

As a Seer, Roger had of course considered how to further enhance his divination abilities.

He had essentially scoured the Hogwarts library for books on the subject.

This made his divination abilities far surpass what they were in the Middle East, but it also made Roger aware of his limitations.

He had indeed learned divination and prophecy very quickly, but after reaching a certain level, it became difficult to improve.

His other prophetic abilities were two to three orders of magnitude weaker than his sense of danger.

They weren't unusable, but their accuracy was like that of the half-baked professor in Hogwarts' Divination class, sometimes accurate, sometimes not.

Only divination of the past was slightly more reliable.

Roger also had some knowledge of astrological divination.

As mentioned before, because people believe the sun, moon, and stars are special, they possess special mystical powers.

These mystical powers operate according to specific trajectories, sometimes forming rituals that affect the world.

This belongs to the fate creation of the stars.

As everyone knows, the Earth's atmosphere interferes with the starlight seen by people, causing it to flicker.

Under the power of fate, the atmosphere is disturbed, and the intensity of starlight changes.

This belongs to the observation of starlight's fate trajectory.

Astrology is the overall trend of fate created by the stars, while starlight belongs to the branches of fate created by human-induced changes.

If 'Heaven's Will' and 'Human Fortune' were to achieve some kind of convergence, it would lead to terrifying developments.

The phenomenon the centaur mentioned earlier was similar to something Roger had seen in an ancient book.

That's why Roger inquired about it.

"Of course," Firenze replied respectfully.

As a race entirely composed of astrologers who highly value divination, centaurs are filled with awe for those with powerful prophetic abilities.

Naturally, he wouldn't choose to antagonize Roger.

Roger briefly discussed astrology with Firenze.

Roger confirmed that what they observed with their eyes, which were more sensitive to astrology than his, was indeed the phenomenon he had seen in the book.

In the East, it's commonly known as… Celestial Chaos!

It usually foreshadows a major change or crisis, disrupting the originally stable order of the heavens, making the world's operating rules difficult to grasp.

Roger certainly didn't think that his mere existence could cause the centaurs to see the signs of Celestial Chaos.

Fate has a certain degree of corrective power.

His existence changing the original fate would only cause the celestial phenomena to reveal a new possibility.

Not pure chaos.

The reason for this was probably because…

Back in his lab, Roger looked at the rows of experimental records and books on the shelves, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Could my choice potentially affect the future course of the entire world?"

With the help of his sense of danger and his second brain, Roger conducted magical experiments at a speed thousands of times faster than ordinary wizards, constantly eliminating incorrect paths and finding the right direction.

Currently, Roger's Transfiguration body modification technique is nearing completion.

It should be finished within a month.

This is several times faster than Roger had originally estimated.

Once Roger's research is complete, he will gain an almost endless lifespan.

Roger hasn't started researching the lifespan of the soul and mind yet.

He doesn't know how long the natural lifespan of the soul is, but even without research, based on Nicolas Flamel's life, Roger can live at least 700 more years.

From the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms period, spanning the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, to the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it was only a little over 700 years!

That's already quite a long time.

But Roger doesn't think that this technological breakthrough will have such a big impact on the world.

Because Roger doesn't plan to popularize this technology now.

Roger doesn't object to other long-lived individuals existing in the world, but he doesn't want everyone who seeks immortality to follow his path.

Too much homogeneity is not a good thing.

For Roger, it's better for everyone to go their own way.

Moreover, Celestial Chaos couldn't possibly be caused by something that will happen hundreds of years later.

It has a certain time limit, generally only lasting from a few days to a dozen years.

Then, it's only possible due to another reason.

Recently, Roger has been planning to establish a true path for his future.

Having studied magic for nearly half a year, even without activating his sense of danger during combat, Roger's strength has already expanded to surpass the level of Hogwarts professors.

Although he can't be proficient in everything, in his areas of expertise such as 'Life Modification' and 'Alchemy,' Roger's knowledge also surpasses most professors.

If he wants to continue moving forward and reach the magical level of Voldemort, Nicolas Flamel, Dumbledore, and Grindelwald, Roger needs to establish his own 'Dao'!

A path that belongs to oneself is the entry ticket for the world's top wizards.

Transfiguration body modification technology?

That's just a 'technique' Roger uses to extend his lifespan; it can't be called a Dao at all.

Roger had already chosen the direction of his path.

However, Roger's choice is not just a simple magical development direction.

The possibilities of magic are infinite, but magic also has its limits.

Because magic requires people to cast it, and the existence of people themselves is the boundary of magic.

The limit of imagination is the limit of magic.

The path Roger has chosen includes magic, but it's more than just magic.

Roger pulled out an ancient book from the bookshelf.

It's not a magical work, but many Eastern magic spells are developed based on it.

Its name is… the "I Ching"!

All things change, only change itself does not change!

Everything will change, only change itself will not change.

Roger doesn't know how to achieve true immortality.

But this is already the closest answer he has found after much deliberation.

Roger wants to become 'Change'!

This is the path Roger has chosen!

But choosing is not the end; it's just the beginning.

It doesn't mean that after you decide to take 'the ultimate pursuit of soul and emotion' as your path, you can immediately become Voldemort, the Dark Lord.

After choosing, you still have to practice the path.

This is the most difficult step.

There are many children who choose to be scientists or big stars, but how many of them actually become scientists or big stars in the end?

The same is true for Roger.

He chose the path of 'All things change, only change itself does not change.'

But how can he become 'Change'?

Doubt arose in Roger's heart, and possibilities constantly emerged in his mind, but they were rejected one by one by Roger.

It was this uncertainty that caused Celestial Chaos to begin!

"It's not good to keep going like this.

I should ask others how they chose their paths and see if I can use it as a reference."

For a moment, several names flashed through Roger's mind.

Professor McGonagall, Snape, Voldemort, Dumbledore…
