Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

When Roger read Harry Potter in his previous life, a question would sometimes flash through his mind.

The magic in Harry Potter, in Roger's eyes, was almost like a wish-granting machine, omnipotent.

Material manipulation, time travel, spatial interference, soul splitting, life extension, healing, changing life forms, influencing luck, memory modification…

Although the destructive power displayed might not be particularly outrageous, the power of magic in this world is definitely extremely strong!

So why didn't the wizards continue to move forward, until they ascended and transformed into immortals?

Instead, they hid in the shadows of human society under the International Statute of Secrecy.

And in the books given by Professor McGonagall, Roger roughly found the answer.

Wizards did not become gods, mainly for two reasons.

Firstly, the essence of magic transcends the understanding of wizards. Almost everyone who studies magic itself ends up failing.

In the end, they could only create the current seemingly correct but actually flawed wizarding power system.

For example, magic is like Doraemon's 'What If' Phone Booth, then the wizard's magic system is the 'Complete Guide to Using the Wishing Machine' summarized by generations of wizards.

It does not involve the truth of the world, nor does it involve the essence of magic, but is simply a technique for using magic.

How should I put it, it has the beauty of the four humors theory and the yin-yang five elements damp-heat paralysis theory in ancient traditional medicine.

This method can indeed cure diseases.

But the principle?

It cannot be explained clearly. One can only establish a set of summarized inductive systems based on experience to explain it.

This kind of empiricism sometimes leads to a result, that is, people think that the effective ingredient in curing the disease may not be completely consistent with the real effective ingredient in the medicine.

This greatly hindered the wizarding civilization's analysis of the essence of magic.

The progress of human civilization cannot be achieved without the contribution of microscopic observation tools such as microscopes. Before wizards have the ability to observe the essence of the world at the scale of magic, it is unlikely that the wizarding civilization will be able to make this path.

Secondly, magic is the result of the joint action of the mind and magic. When the 'quantity' of magic reaches a certain limit, the strength of the wizard's mind becomes the limit of the power of magic.

It's like a computer. When the operating environment such as memory temperature is perfect, the hardware of the computer limits the performance of the computer.

If you want to enhance the power of magic and become an immortal, you need to enhance the mental power of the wizard.

Wizards have come up with many ways to do this.

Some people feel that, just like bees cannot have human-level intelligence, since human mental power is not enough, then simply stop being human!

They want to become higher-level creatures, and they have embarked on the road of evolution.

Some people superimposed the bloodlines of magical creatures with themselves, and they became various mixed-blood wizards.

This is indeed a way, but firstly, mixed blood only raises the upper limit, but does not change the lower limit after human birth. If you want to obtain stronger mental power, the wizard still has to practice on their own.

And there are very few wizards who can grow to that level.

It's like humans have the ability to single-handedly kill large beasts with cold weapons without injury. This is something that humans can possibly do, but few people in modern times have trained their strength to this level, and most people are still in a sub-healthy urbanite state who can't carry anything on their shoulders.

Lacking the pressure of death, few wizards can practice to that level.

Secondly, mixed-blood wizards only have a higher upper limit, not no upper limit. Their upper limit is only stronger than ordinary wizards, but they still have not reached the immortal level.

Others set their sights on Transfiguration, soul black magic, etc., wanting to take other paths of self-transformation.

But they also failed.

The ultimate of Transfiguration, self-transfiguration Animagus, cannot be transformed into magical creatures, and the improvement it brings to the wizard's upper limit is limited.

And Voldemort, who is good at soul black magic, is only that strong.

In addition to the transformation faction represented by bloodlines, Transfiguration, and soul black magic, there are two other major factions in the wizarding world who want to break the upper limit of wizarding civilization.

One is the ritual faction.

If one person's mental power is not enough, then use a hundred people's, ten thousand people's!

The book 'Ritual Magic is More Than Just Blood Sacrifice' details the affairs of this faction.

"Ritual magic is everywhere." Roger murmured the sentence on the title page of the book while sitting at the dining table.

Because of a considerable debt in the inheritance, Roger did not inherit his parents' estate.

He does not have a formal place to live in England.

During this time, he has been renting a room in the Leaky Cauldron, one of the entrances to Diagon Alley.

Roger rents a very small room, so the cost is not expensive, and it is a price that Roger can afford.

Arriving in the tavern hall, Roger ordered some British delicacies as usual.

While eating fish and chips, Roger flipped through the books in his hand.

During this time, Roger spent almost all of his time reading the dozens of books that Professor McGonagall mailed to him.

Among them, Roger is most fascinated by this seemingly ordinary book, 'Ritual Magic is More Than Just Blood Sacrifice'.

The principles expounded in the book are extremely broad and profound.

It proves through various data that the sun, moon, and stars in nature have mystical attributes because people believe that the sun, moon, and stars have special powers.

The mystical attributes of all things are endowed by intelligent creatures that can disturb magic with their thoughts.

The existence of potions, magical creatures, and even spells are all by-products of the ubiquitous and natural ritual magic!

And presiding over this world-covering, infinitely grand magic ritual is the subconscious sea of all intelligent creatures!

The book even clearly gives the method for wizards to ascend to godhood.

Unfortunately, no wizard can do it.

"Unify the world, manipulate the thinking of all Muggles, all wizards, and all magical creatures, artificial god ritual…"

The one who can do this is as powerful as a god, and does not need this ritual at all, while the person who needs this ritual is unlikely to have the ability to control the thinking of all intelligent life on earth. This reminded Roger of a picture he had seen online before…

A one-way street has become a dead end!

In addition to the ritual faction, there is also a relatively small faction in the wizarding civilization.

The external object faction.

That is, the group of people who engage in alchemy and potions. Their core idea is actually similar to that of the ritual faction.

But their method is to create a magical artifact or potion that everyone believes in, or, as a step back, the various materials that make them up.

They have indeed created many amazing magical items.

Such as the Deathly Hallows, the Door of Death, etc…

Of course, there are also those who do not use the power of 'legends', but use their own knowledge to break the wizard's upper limit, such as Dumbledore and the alchemist Nicolas Flamel, who belong to this type.

The reason why wizards choose to avoid the world is because there are too many people in modern times. Who knows what consequences will occur under the disturbance of magic if the existence of magic is made public?

No one dares to gamble.

Except for a certain leader and saint of World War II.

Bang!

Close the book.

Now there are three paths to ascend to immortality in front of Roger, but each one is cut off halfway.

From ancient times to the present, countless gifted and talented wizards have launched attacks on them, but they have all failed.

So, if you want to live forever, which path should you choose?
