Chapter 4174 4176 [Wizards are gods]

After leaving Khalilabad Academy of Magic, Xiang Nan and his family finally returned to London, England.

He never went to the magic institute in Japan again, because most of the magic in Japan was inherited from Middle-earth, and a small part came from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States. There was not much of their own magic.

Xiang Nan was too lazy to waste time.

Besides, August is already eleven years old, and it's time for him to report to Hogwarts.

In fact, as soon as Xiang Nan and his family returned to London, August had already received the admission notice for September.

Although he was born in Penglai, his name was already on the admission list of Hogwarts from the moment he was born.

August then bought his first wand at Ollivander's, a twelve-inch wand made of apple tree and unicorn tail hair.

After he entered Hogwarts, he was assigned to Ravenclaw House, just like Xiang Nan.

Because he had a strong curiosity about magic under Xiang Nan's guidance since he was a child, which was in line with the potential of Ravenclaw College.

After sending his son to school, Xiang Nan spent the rest of his time sorting out and reviewing what he had learned.

In the past ten years, he has learned magic from ten magic schools in Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa and other regions.

It can be said that his accumulated knowledge has surpassed any other wizard in the world. Even top masters like Dumbledore and Grindelwald can hardly match him.

However, what he has learned is too long and complicated, and it is time to sort it out.

Otherwise, as Confucius said, if you study without thinking, you will be confused; if you think without studying, you will be in danger.

……

In the next few years, Xiang Nan organized and summarized the knowledge he had learned.

By organizing and summarizing what he had learned, Xiang Nan's understanding of magic became deeper and deeper, and his control over magic became stronger and stronger.

He was increasingly able to understand the saying, "A wizard is a god."

Because there are many silent spells in Europe, America, Asia, Africa and other places.

This kind of spell is not to recite the spell silently in your mind, but you don't really need to say the spell. As long as you have a thought in your mind, you can release the spell.

The older the magic, the more silent spells there are.

This shows that in the distant ancient times, there was a group of ancestor wizards who had mastered magic before the invention of writing and language.

Therefore, the spells and magic words they passed down were more like creations for the purpose of inheritance and teaching the younger generations.

Many civilizations in the world have recorded such stories.

For example, before Odin created ancient runes, he was already the king of gods; before Cangjie created characters, there were already great wizards in China, such as Huangdi, Yandi, Chiyou, Gonggong, Zhurong, etc.; before Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom, invented characters, Egypt already had nine pillar gods...

Xiang Nan made reasonable speculations that the so-called gods at that time, such as Odin, Thor, Loki, Cangjie, Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor, Gonggong, Chiyou, Thoth, Amon, etc. were all wizards who possessed certain extraordinary abilities and did things that were unimaginable and difficult for ordinary people to do, so they were respected or feared by people.

But as time passed, deeds turned into stories, stories turned into legends, legends turned into myths, and eventually no one could see clearly what happened back then.

……

The existence of the Silent Spell proves that a wizard can cast magic with his will and thoughts alone. As long as his will is strong enough and his thoughts are clear enough, he can do it.

This shows that the wizard is a god who can make his words come true and change the world with his thoughts.

This is consistent with everything Xiang Nan knows, that is, "in the Harry Potter wizarding world, magic is quite idealistic."

For example, to cast the Patronus Charm, one must think of happy things; to cast the three unforgivable spells, one must have evil thoughts in mind; to cast Apparition, one must want to reach that place with all one’s heart…

The highest realm of idealism is "I am God!", "The universe is my heart, and my heart is the universe", "All things are in me", and "I think, therefore I am".

Therefore, the more determined and confident the wizard is, the stronger his magic power will be and the greater his achievements will be.

It seems that when Merope Gaunt was oppressed by her family, she couldn't even cast a simple spell. But after her father and brother were captured, her magic power recovered quickly, and she could even brew a high-level potion such as aphrodisiac. But when she was abandoned by Tom Riddle, she lost her magic power again and couldn't even make a living.

Her personal experience illustrates this point clearly.

……

However, Xiang Nan also knew that human power is limited.

Wizards can only get close to God, but they are not God after all.

Wizards cannot achieve immortality, even with the Philosopher's Stone, they can only prolong their lifespan, and the cost is very high.

Wizards cannot create life. Even if they use transfiguration to turn a stone into a beetle, a teapot into a turtle, or a stone statue into a human form, they are not real life, but just puppets without souls.

Although wizards can make predictions and even see a little bit of the future, wizards cannot control their fate.

Just like Voldemort, after knowing the prophecy, he not only did not change his own destiny, but helped the prophecy come true.

Xiang Nan knew all this, so he was not as arrogant as Voldemort, thinking that he was really a god and could control everyone in his palm.

He just tries to apply what he has learned to help others.

For example, after he came back, he helped Lupin, who had transformed into a werewolf, release the "human form spell" on a full moon night, helping him restore his original form.

In fact, Xiang Nan did not know the specific spell of the human form spell, nor did he know how to wave the wand. But he was determined to help Lupin turn back into a human form, and he really did it.

Under the influence of his powerful magic, Lupin really did regain his human form, and he did not turn into a werewolf again on the full moon nights that followed.

This made Lupin very happy, and he was even moved to tears.

As a werewolf, he suffered discrimination since childhood. After entering Hogwarts, although he had friends such as James, Xiang Nan, Lily, Pettigrew, Sirius Black, etc., he still felt a little inferior in his heart.

Even after he took over the Dragon Power Shop and became a very successful businessman and inventor, and was no longer as embarrassed as in the original book, he still felt inferior and was afraid that people would discover his secret as a werewolf.

But now, he has finally turned back into a human. He no longer has to turn into a wolf every full moon night. He no longer needs to worry about biting others or being discriminated against...

From then on, he could live a free and easy life, even get married, have children, and enjoy family life... Xiang Nan simply gave him a second life.

This made Lupin very happy and grateful.

"Sev, thank you so much, it's you who gave me a new life." Lupin said gratefully.

"We are all friends, no need to be polite." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
