Chapter 745: The Vestigial Tribe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This era of history was too long ago, to the point where Merlin and Maya had never heard of it.

"What crisis could that be that caused the death of such a powerful being?"

As the Purple Emperor, one of the Thirty-six Emperors, he must surely be one of the mightiest existences in the Void Zone at that time, yet he died. It was difficult for Merlin to imagine what was it that could harm the Purple Emperor.

"As for what crisis it was exactly, I'm unsure as well. After all, I'm merely a puppet left behind by Master. Perhaps Master's projection can tell you."

The puppet glanced toward the transparent crystal wall in front. On the wall, a figure shrouded in purple light had appeared.

"Someone has come…"

A voice spoke slowly. The voice of this Mind Projection left by the Purple Emperor revealed a trace of weary worldliness.

"Swoosh."

Suddenly, the Mind Projection of the Purple Emperor opened his eyes. In that instant, Merlin and Maya felt very small as if they were facing the vast and boundless Void Zone.

The Purple Emperor exuded the force of the Void Zone. It was somewhat inconceivable.

"Both of you aren't the Purple Tribe… How much time has passed? Where are the descendants of the Purple Tribe? Not even one has shown up?"

Upon seeing Merlin and Maya, a great change came over the Purple Emperor's face. He seemed quite agitated. A frightening pressure descended immediately. Merlin knew that this was pressure from Mind Power, which would not cause them physical harm.

Regardless of how strong the Purple Emperor before them was, he was merely a projection, unable to be of threat to Merlin and Maya.

"Noble Purple Emperor! Indeed, we're not descendants of the Purple Tribe. We're from the Spell Caster civilization and the Golden Light Tribe. As for the Purple Tribe you spoke of, we've never heard of them."

Merlin's Mind Power was formidable, and he gradually became used to the pressure. Hence, he spoke in response.

"You're able to withstand the might of my Mind Power? That's not right. You're not from the Purple Tribe. How can you have such powerful Mind Power?"

The Purple Emperor's projection stared at Merlin in astonishment. He could tell at a glance that Merlin was not a descendant of the Purple Tribe, yet he had Mind Power that was not inferior to the Purple Tribe. His Mind Power was even more powerful and compact than the average member of the Purple Tribe.

After all, the Mind Power of the Purple Tribe was something they were born with, so it had not gone through systematic, focused cultivation. On the other hand, Merlin's Mind Power was strengthened bit by bit through Meditation Spells and various methods. Naturally, there was a huge difference.

Merlin did not know how to reply. Spell Casters had Mind Power – this was the most basic truth. To become a Spell Caster, one must at least awaken their Mind Power or they would have no way of constructing Spell Models.

"How much time has passed? Spell Caster? The Golden Light Tribe? I have no impression of all this. That war – we must have won that war? I can feel that the natural order of the Void Zone has become stronger…"

The Purple Emperor seemed to be speaking to himself.

"Honorable Purple Emperor, we've never heard of you and the other thirty-five Emperors. I'm afraid that your era is too distant from ours. It could be more than a trillion years or even longer… What crisis did you face?"

Merlin asked curiously. Although Spell Casters had only set foot in the Void Zone for more than three thousand years, they had collected many books and information – the oldest of which dated back to ten billion years.

Nonetheless, even such an ancient record did not mention the existence of the Thirty-six Emperors. Since they were the strongest thirty-six beings in the Void Zone at that time, it was impossible that the books would not mention them.

The only possibility was that the era of the Thirty-six Emperors was far too distant from the present. It might be a few hundred billion years or even trillions of years ago or even longer – to the extent that each of the major civilizations had no record of them.

"The crisis came in the form of the Vestigial Tribe. They were an abnormally powerful civilization, and their cultivation methods were greatly divergent from ours. In the end, they didn't need to merge with the Void Zone's natural order. They only had to use the resources of the Void Zone to ceaselessly manufacture all sorts of terrifying military weapons such as warships, puppets, and so on. Their warships are powerful, more frightening than a dimension. The puppets they produced – not even a Great Lord was a match. Ultimately, except for most of the civilization under the Vestigial Tribe, everyone joined forces under the leadership of us, Thirty-Six Emperors, to deal with the Vestigial Tribe.

"This war dragged on for many years; perhaps a hundred thousand years or longer… At last, we finally gained the upper hand gradually. Right when it was almost over, I was hit by the strongest warship of the Vestigial Tribe and was gravely injured. Even with the support of the natural order's power, I was unable to heal. In the end, I forced my way here, turning my own body into a dimension, and leaving behind an inheritance. I hoped that the descendants of the Purple Tribe would receive this inheritance. It's a shame that after so many years, you're the only ones who came."

Upon hearing the descriptions of the Purple Emperor's Mind Projection, Merlin's heart gave a shiver. Colossal warships, puppets – was this not similar to the Atlan civilization?

However, the Atlan civilization was not that powerful. Otherwise, the Spell Caster civilization by itself would be no match for them, and they would not be so weak as to allow the Spell Caster civilization to suppress them completely.

It was just that the Vestigial Tribe described by the Purple Emperor was too similar to the Atlan civilization.

Numerous thoughts flashed across Merlin's mind, but beside him, Maya said, "We've never heard of this Vestigial Tribe nor the Purple Tribe either. This war you spoke of, if it really did happen, we must've won it."

"That's right, the natural order of the Void Zone still exists, so we've won for sure. According to the agreement back then, the Vestigial Tribe would no longer exist, leaving behind not a single member. It's just too bad about the Purple Tribe. Perhaps they were replaced by other civilizations throughout the interminable passage of time. If that's the case, to whom should my inheritance go?"

All at once, the Purple Emperor's Mind Projection was somewhat lost. He was nothing more than a Mind Projection. Here was the inheritance the Purple Emperor had left for the descendants of the Purple Tribe.

However, now it looked like the Purple Tribe no longer existed. After all, in the extensive history of the Void Zone, a civilization like the Purple Tribe which was not very powerful would not take too long to go extinct completely. Even some of the stronger civilizations would vanish in the Void Zone.

The Purple Emperor, as one of the Thirty-six Emperors, had even witnessed such a process with his own eyes.

Merlin was still caught up in the link between the Vestigial Tribe and the Atlan civilization. Even though he was somewhat uncertain, the Atlan civilization must surely be connected to the Vestigial Tribe. As for what connection that was, Merlin currently had no clue, of course.

Upon hearing the Purple Emperor's sorrowful words, Merlin's heart leaped. This inheritance was left behind for the Purple Tribe but if the Purple Tribe had gone extinct, then of what use was the inheritance?

In addition, Merlin had previously drooled at the puppet's Mind Suppression. This was surely a technique left for the Purple Tribe by the Purple Emperor. Therefore, a bold idea was conceived in Merlin's heart.

"Great Sir Purple Emperor, the Purple Tribe no longer exists. This inheritance is your life's work. How about if I receive the inheritance?"

"You receive the inheritance?"

It was not just the Purple Emperor but even Maya at the side, expressed surprise. Nonetheless, soon enough Maya recovered, feeling a stab of regret.

The Purple Emperor's inheritance was the most precious treasure but it was a shame that he missed his shot. Still, Maya was unwilling to give up and nodded as well. "That's right, Sir Purple Emperor. At this moment, the Purple Tribe is gone. You've used your full efforts to preserve this inheritance. Surely you won't let it disappear just like that? Why don't you pass it on to us? In the future, your inheritance will emerge again in the Void Zone."

The Purple Emperor eyed Merlin and Maya in careful consideration.

After a long moment, the Purple Emperor waved his hand. "What you both said makes sense. The inheritance I left for the Purple Tribe was strictly forbidden to outsiders. Before this, if you dare to touch it, it would emit the power I left behind. No matter how strong you were, as long as you hadn't reached the stage of an ultimate existence, you'd be killed."

Merlin and Maya heaved a sigh. Before this, they had already decided together that they would never touch the inheritance of the Purple Tribe. After all, they were previously warned by the puppet as this was left behind by an ultimate existence. Merlin and Maya would not believe that it would have no protective measures.

"What about now?"

From the Purple Emperor's words, Merlin could tell that the Purple Emperor was already somewhat swayed.

"Now that the Purple Tribe isn't even around, I don't wish for my inheritance to disappear. However, your friend here won't be able to receive the inheritance, for he has no Mind Power. I've also left some good stuff for contenders who made their way here. Later, he can go and get those rewards."

Maya's face darkened slightly, feeling somewhat rueful. However, just as the Purple Emperor had said, he had no Mind Power. Even if he received the inheritance, it would not serve any purpose.

Furthermore, it was not that he would get nothing. He would still get a share of the goods.

Thus, with the puppet leading the way, Maya entered another place to obtain the benefits he should get. As for Merlin, he stayed on. The Purple Emperor continued, "What a coincidence that you're able to come here. What's more important is your Mind Power! The inheritance here is only meant for the Purple Tribe, and the Purple Tribe is born with formidable Mind Power. It's a shame that they were too weak in the past, totally unable to train it in a focused manner. With that, their talent was wasted. Otherwise, the Purple Tribe would certainly have become a flourishing civilization."

The Purple Emperor explained about the Purple Tribe in detail. Merlin slowly learned that the Purple Tribe back then was truly a rather special group of people. Compared to the Spell Casters, their innate Mind Power was incomparably powerful.

Perhaps this was an actual group who was born to be Mind Power Masters. As for Spell Casters, when they first awakened their Mind Power, it served no function. In the end, it was Aruba who tailored and created a cultivation system for them, which became the Spell Caster system.

It was a shame that the Purple Tribe was not so lucky. They did not have a noble existence like Aruba to create a cultivation system for them. Even the Purple Emperor had relied upon great fortune and other cultivation methods to finally become one of the Thirty-six Emperors.

Chapter 746: The Purple Emperor's Inheritance!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Alright, come and receive the inheritance then! Since the Purple Tribe is already gone, you can pass this inheritance to anyone you wish to after receiving it. However, I hope that in the future, you'll state that the origin of this inheritance belongs to the Purple Tribe…"

Merlin nodded wordlessly. It looked like the Purple Emperor still cared about the Purple Tribe. Even after he died, he still thought about them.

Following that, Merlin stood before a stretch of a pure white wall. A purple beam flashed by, and a glittering purple crystal ball appeared.

"Hum."

A blinding light shone from the crystal ball, enveloping Merlin. The Purple Emperor's voice rang out, "Don't be nervous, relax your mind, and accept this openly… Only when your Mind Power is exhausted can you stop. I don't know how powerful your Mind Power is. As this inheritance is intended for the Purple Tribe, the Mind Power of genius members of the Purple Tribe would easily receive these teachings fully. However, it's different for you… No matter what, absorb this as best as you can. Even if you can't receive the entire inheritance, at least you can get half of it…"

Following that, the Purple Emperor's voice grew weaker before it vanished completely. However, Merlin had no way of opening his eyes nor could he use his Mind Power to investigate because he could now feel that his Mind Power was rapidly being consumed.

Merlin's Mind Power was being exhausted at a great rate. In fact, additional memories ineffably appeared in his mind. Merlin knew that this was the Purple Emperor's inheritance.

Nonetheless, this inheritance was far too massive, nearly containing all of the Purple Emperor's understanding of Mind Power. It was created expressly for the entire Purple Tribe, and would have strengthened the entire civilization.

How could such a tremendous inheritance possibly be average?

Therefore, Merlin gradually felt the strain. He was merely receiving the inheritance. It looked like the Purple Emperor was right. The Mind Power of those prodigies from the Purple Tribe was too frightening. To them, their immense Mind Power could easily absorb this inheritance but Merlin might not be able to do so.

If it was someone else with weak Mind Power, the inheritance would have already ended after they received a small portion of it. Nevertheless, Merlin was still holding on now.

"I've only received fifty percent of the inheritance. I must absorb all of it!"

Merlin gritted his teeth. He could sense that currently, he had merely received half of the inheritance but the majority of his Mind Power was already worn out. Now, he could only force himself to hold on. After all, this inheritance was very precious. An opportunity like this could not be encountered just anywhere. It would be such a shame if he missed out on this chance.

Merlin had vaguely guessed the meaning of the Purple Emperor's final words. Even if his Mind Power was strong, it was not certain whether he could receive the inheritance in full.

Therefore, Merlin had mobilized all of his Mind Power, even casting off his own defenses. He was conserving his Mind Power to its greatest extent, wasting none of it.

Sixty percent, seventy percent, eighty percent…

Upon reaching eighty percent, Merlin was practically at his limit. His Mind Power was unable to keep this up, and it was exceedingly difficult to hold on.

"Am I really unable to receive any more?"

Merlin felt that his mind was going blank in quick bursts as if he would faint at any moment. A lofty Honored Legend could faint? Even if this was told to the masses, no one would believe it. However, Merlin was in such a state now. His Mind Power had no way to hold on any longer. If he forced himself to go on, he would faint.

"Keep on, keep on…"

Now, Merlin could only use his willpower to persist. After all, this inheritance was meant for the Purple Tribe. From this, one learned that the Purple Tribe from a trillion years ago truly was born with terrifying Mind Power. They were the true natural Mind Power Masters.

"It's almost ninety percent!"

Merlin could not even feel a trace of strength left in him. This was already the limit of his limit. Regardless of how strong his willpower was, in the end, he would still run out.

At last, his mind was a complete blank. The remaining ten percent was like a weak flame, flickering slightly before it disappeared for good.

"Phew…"

Merlin opened his eyes in a hurry, starting to pant heavily. He had never felt so fatigued. There was not one bit left of his Mind Power, which would need a long time to recover.

Nonetheless, what he regretted the most was that final ten percent of the inheritance, which he ultimately did not receive. Moreover, this inheritance was a one-time thing. If he did not absorb it, it would vanish without a trace.

Merlin did not know how precious was the inheritance contained in the remaining ten percent, but regardless, he regretted having lost it.

"If I'm able to achieve the Illusory Heart, then even a larger inheritance would be nothing."

Merlin mumbled to himself sorrowfully. Now he was regretting that he had not reached the realm of the Illusory Heart before this. He knew that the Illusory Heart was the second stage in Titus' three main stages of Hallucinating spells, which was a thorough transformation.

Once he had reached the state of the Illusory Heart, his Mind Power would grow to an unimaginable extent. It could be said that at that point, Merlin's Mind Power would be endless and boundless.

Titus' three main stages of Hallucinating spells emphasized the realm one had attained, not the cultivation of Mind Power. Upon reaching a certain realm, Mind Power would merely supplement the strength.

Even so, it was astounding.

It was too bad that Illusory Heart could not be attained so easily. Up until now, Merlin had not reached that realm, causing him to miss out on receiving that final ten percent of the inheritance.

"Purple Emperor? Great Sir Purple Emperor?"

Merlin looked around. There was no figure of the Purple Emperor, only empty space. Not only had the Purple Emperor vanished but the purple crystal ball of the inheritance had shattered beside him, falling to the ground. This meant that Merlin was unable to receive the inheritance again.

"Master's Mind Projection had used up his strength, and is gone."

From an unknown place, out popped the third puppet, speaking to Merlin with no expression.

"He's gone already?"

Merlin felt rather rueful as he thought about it. That was an ultimate existence, one who was even more fearsome than most ultimate existences, for he was one of the Thirty-six Emperors of the Void Zone back then.

It was a shame that he had disappeared. Merlin would not have the chance to ask the questions in his heart.

"First, let's see what this inheritance is."

Merlin was still most concerned about the ninety percent of inheritance which he had received. Perhaps it was not exactly ninety percent but it was almost there. Merlin did not know whether this portion of inheritance was complete or had lost its most important portion.

"Boom."

When Merlin started to inspect the inheritance he received, a windstorm seemed to be stirred up in his mind, exploding completely and engulfing everything.

Enormous sections of information appeared in his mind. Merlin could distinctly feel that this inheritance was practically all about Mind Power.

After all, the Purple Emperor had expressly tailored this to the Purple Tribe according to their feature of having powerful Mind Power. It was a purposeful decision. Nonetheless, most of this inheritance regarding Mind Power consisted of Mind Power techniques for fighting.

Among these was the Mind Suppression Merlin had been eagerly anticipating. It was in the inheritance, so Merlin was overjoyed and pleased.

"Thank goodness, I received Mind Suppression in the end!"

Merlin had personally seen how terrifying Mind Suppression was. The third purple puppet had relied upon this technique. Despite clearly being on par with Maya, it was able to suppress Maya.

It was only because of Merlin's formidable Mind Power that he did not fear Mind Suppression. Otherwise, both of them would have been in danger, and might even be killed by the puppet.

Through these memories of the inheritance, Merlin understood that Mind Suppression was indeed one of the core teachings the Purple Emperor wanted to pass on. He had spent over seventeen thousand years just to create Mind Suppression.

For those who had inferior strength, Mind Suppression was fearsome to the extreme. These people would not even have the courage to retaliate after Mind Suppression was wielded.

As for those who were on the same level, Mind Suppression would be able to suppress their strength by thirty percent at least. To anyone, this was akin to immediately being crushed.

When both sides had evenly-matched strength, and one side was incapable of unleashing their full power with only seventy percent left, this would already determine the outcome.

Of course, if one was facing someone with superior strength, Mind Suppression was functional as well. As long as their Mind Power was not too formidable, it was still effective, only it would not be too evident.

In addition, if one had encountered those ultimate existences, no matter how strong their Mind Power was, wielding Mind Suppression would not be of any use. Those ultimate existences had merged with the natural order, able to mobilize a portion of the natural order's power. Mind Suppression, regardless of how powerful it was, could not suppress the natural order.

Even so, a technique like Mind Suppression which used Mind Power in this manner was already quite abnormal.

Besides that, the other parts of the inheritance were mostly ways to use Mind Power in battle. This diverged significantly from Titus' Mind Power system.

Titus' Mind Power system was more focused on attaining a state. In truth, it was rather lacking in utilizing Mind Power. Other than Hallucinating spells, Mind Power did not seem to have other functions.

Once the Mind Heart was condensed, Mind Power was not inferior to most spells, able to interact with the material world.

The Purple Emperor's inheritance was mainly techniques which used Mind Power for fighting. Therefore, it precisely balanced the flaws of Titus' Mind Power system.

This was like the Spell Casters. No matter how many Spell Models one had constructed, the resulting spells were more or less the same. In a battle, the spells would not change much. What use was that?

If Merlin's Hallucinating spell was unable to entrap an enemy, a Mind Power Master could do nothing but be trampled upon. This was an unusual case. By itself, Titus' Mind Power System was far from being a cultivation system that could compare to the Spell Caster system.

However, the Purple Emperor's inheritance could now be matched with Titus' Mind Power system – one focused on achieving realms, the other used Mind Power as fighting techniques.

Both of these complemented each other. Only then was this a complete cultivation system on par with the Spell Caster system!

Chapter 747: Tentatively Refining the Mind Power System

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Let me continue exploring."

Merlin continued to look at the memories from the inheritances in his mind. Most of it was techniques for fighting with Mind Power. They were too many but to the current Merlin, most of it was not of much use.

Merlin knew clearly that these were for the use of the Purple Tribe members who were not that strong.

Besides techniques for using Mind Power to fight, Merlin finally came across Mind Power cultivation. This made Merlin excited. He had looked forward to this the most. He wanted to see if this ultimate existence had any original insights into the Mind Power system.

Perhaps it might corroborate Titus' Mind Power system and further refine it. After all, Titus' Mind Power system was only cultivated to an advanced stage by Titus himself. Even so, his Illusory World was not perfected back then, and he did not know what the problem was.

In short, Merlin was now a pioneer. Although he acknowledged the Mind Power system created by Titus, he was not completely assured. Now that there was a Mind Power system painstakingly refined by an ultimate existence to serve as a point of comparison, it was, of course, a wonderful thing.

Therefore, Merlin continued his exploration.

The cultivation of Mind Power in the Purple Emperor's inheritance was very simple, and that was to grow one's Mind Power incessantly. There was nothing about reaching certain realms. When one's Mind Power had reached a certain level, one would naturally be able to use certain powerful attacks.

The Purple Emperor had practical experiences with this. He had also left these cultivation methods in the Purple Tribe back then, only they were not as developed as the ones in the inheritance.

Moreover, the last few boundaries in the Purple Emperor's system could be compared to the levels above a Great Legend. Not even the Purple Emperor had reached these stages. He even said that it was too difficult to solely rely on expanding one's Mind Power.

Thus, Merlin was a little disappointed. This method of strengthening Mind Power solely was not as good as Titus' Mind Power system. At least Titus had condensed the Illusory World, which could compare to a Lord. Moreover, after the Illusory World was perfected, according to Titus' estimation, one would be stronger than the greatest Lord, right behind an ultimate existence.

Of course, this was merely Titus' conjecture. After all, even though Titus had consolidated the Illusory World, he always felt that something was missing and that it was not perfect.

Therefore, no one knew what the Illusory World would become after being perfected. They could only speculate.

According to Merlin's guess, the final ten percent of the inheritance should be the cultivation methods of the Mind Power system, especially the most advanced ones. Nonetheless, those would only be based on the Purple Emperor's deductions.

Therefore, even though Merlin had lost the last ten percent of the inheritance, it had no real meaning to him.

"Titus?"

Merlin yelled in the Illusory World but Titus still did not appear. Merlin shook his head helplessly. He knew that Titus was inspired by Aruba, maybe because he personally witnessed a powerful being like Aruba who could reverse and defy the natural order.

As a result, Titus concentrated on creating the final step of the Mind Power system, which would come after perfecting the Illusory World. Before this, Titus merely had a vague notion – to turn illusory into reality.

Titus' previous notion became a concrete step after he saw Aruba, just like the Illusory Heart and the Illusory World. At least it was no longer unsubstantiated.

Nonetheless, this was difficult. Titus' deductions alone might not be accurate, and no one knew how long it would take to calculate it. Perhaps it could never be done.

Since Titus was unwilling to come out, Merlin did not force him. He had received the Purple Emperor's inheritance, and the most helpful thing would be Mind Suppression. This was a Mind Power technique that was very beneficial toward the current Merlin.

However, a new idea had popped in his head now. In the past, he was valued by the Blackfire Lord because he wanted Merlin to perfect the Mind Power system.

At least, it must break free from a Great Legend's restraints. Previously, Merlin had always felt that the Mind Power system was not complete, so he had never put it into practice.

However, the Purple Emperor's inheritance now gave Merlin a trace of hope to refine the Mind Power system or at least take the first step.

With this inheritance, those who cultivated Mind Power were no longer utterly puny, unable to survive after leaving the Spell Casters. This was the real reason Merlin had the drive to begin perfecting the Mind Power system.

If one followed Titus' Mind Power system, one would still have to rely on the Spell Casters' spells. Otherwise, for a long period, Spell Casters would not have any fighting abilities as they would be very weak. This was clearly not a developed system, far from the Spell Caster system.

However, with the Purple Emperor's inheritance, it addressed this point nicely. Otherwise, who knew how long it would take for Merlin to develop fighting techniques for the Mind Power Masters.

Having made this decision, Merlin might as well close his eyes, slowly and systematically sorting through the Mind Power system of the inheritance in his mind. This was very important, and a necessary process.

Titus' Mind Power system constantly flashed across his Mind, verifying and clashing against the Purple Emperor's inheritance. This sensation gave Merlin a new understanding. The Illusory Heart which was always vague now seemed clearer to him.

"Refining the Mind Power system also brings such a benefit?"

This was evidently a wonderful surprise. Merlin did not know how to break through to the realm of the Illusory Heart, but now, he had a way. Even if he did not attain the Illusory Heart, his understanding would deepen, accumulating his learning. At that point, perhaps an opportunity would allow Merlin to understand the secret of the Illusory Heart.

Merlin was working hard to tentatively refine the Mind Power system. He combed through everything and discovered that before condensing the Mind Heart, the Purple Emperor's methods of strengthening Mind Power was far more developed and specific than Titus' Mind Power system.

Previously, in Titus' Mind Power system, there were essentially no concrete steps before condensing the Mind Heart.

However, with the Purple Emperor's inheritance, this flaw was amended.

Mind Power Masters could foremost be divided into the First to the Seventh-level. Before the Seventh-level, Mind Power had some offensive measures but mostly those were similar to Hallucinating spells. They might affect one's mind and consciousness, but they could not interact with the material plane.

A Mind Power Master at this point was relatively weak.

Nonetheless, at the Seventh-level, Mind Power Masters could consolidate a Mind Heart. This was a crucial step in being a Mind Power Master. Perhaps, in other words, only by reaching the Seventh-level and condensing the Mind Heart, could Mind Power Masters have the power to truly contend against Spell Casters or even be stronger than them!

After condensing the Mind Heart and gaining the ability to influence the material world, the majority of the Mind Power techniques in the Purple Emperor's inheritance could be of use. This was the reason the Purple Emperor had placed such high hopes in the Purple Tribe.

With these methods of using Mind Power, even if the Purple Tribe did not have an ultimate existence, they could have become very powerful. However, now it was used by Merlin to gradually refine the Mind Power system.

Still, at this point, the Mind Power system was far from being perfected. In other words, consolidating the Mind Heart was only the beginning. If one wished to improve further, one would need the stages of the Hallucinating spells.

It could be said that the first boundary was the Eighth-level. Once one had become an Eighth-level Mind Power Master, it would be rather terrifying as Hallucinating spells could even compare to most Legendary Wizards. With the techniques of the Purple Emperor's inheritance such as Mind Suppression, one could be on par with Legends.

With these two techniques combined, an Eighth-level Mind Power Master could comprehensively surpass most Legends. This was an advantage of the Mind Power system compared to Spell Casters.

Mind Power Masters from the First to the Sixth-level were weaker compared to the Spell Casters. However, upon reaching the Seventh-level and condensing a Mind Heart, they were evenly matched with Spell Casters of the same level.

Furthermore, if they could reach the stage of the Hallucinating spells at the Eighth-level, the superiority of Mind Power Masters would be displayed. A main stage like the Hallucinating spells could be divided into smaller stages according to the strength of the spells. These were all not important.

What was crucial was the realm of the Illusory Heart. This was where Merlin was now, and only Titus had passed this stage, so it had been put into practice.

Upon reaching the Ninth-level, it was even more frightening. The Illusory Heart could baffle Honored Legends or even control an enemy's soul. In addition to Mind Suppression, a Mind Power Master at this point would be unmatched among their own level.

At the realm of the Illusory Heart was the Ninth-level Mind Power Master. Only then could it be said to comprehensively surpass the Spell Caster system, producing an existence at the peak.

Nonetheless, if Merlin had succeeded in creating the Illusory World in the future and perfected it, there would be a Tenth-level for Mind Power Masters. The fabled Tenth-level Mind Power Master might be the strongest contender below ultimate existences or perhaps truly be comparable to ultimate existences. No one had reached this point, so Merlin was unsure.

The Tenth-level was already the limit but in Titus' theory, there was still the Eleventh-level. That would exceed the ultimate existences, materializing illusions into reality, able to reverse and defy the natural order. Perhaps that was on par with Aruba, who could travel through the infinite Latitude Cosmos.

It was just that whether it was the Illusory World of the Tenth-level or the materialization of illusions into reality at the Eleventh-level, no one had ever reached this point. Even the founder of the Mind Power system, Titus, had not reached these stages.

Titus was the founder while Merlin was the pioneer of the Mind Power system. Only he had the chance to verify this system part by part.

However, no matter what, if there was no Tenth-level Illusory World or Eleventh-level materialization, then this Mind Power system would end at this point and could be considered to be tentatively refined.

This completed system, which fell short of Spell Casters in the beginning stage, matched them in the middle stage, and even surpassed them in the final stage, was created by Titus, and complemented by the Purple Emperor's inheritance.

Finally, it was organized by Merlin. Only then was this Mind Power system had been tentatively refined!

"I can almost grasp the Illusory Heart…"

After Merlin had tentatively refined the Mind Power system, he opened his eyes. His gaze revealed an incomparably abstruse look.

In refining the Mind Power system, Merlin's efforts were no less than Titus' efforts. Titus had merely established the theory. Merlin could only achieve the state of the Illusory Heart through this coincidental opportunity.

It could be said that no one else could replicate Merlin's path. At first, this was not enough to create a complete system which everyone could cultivate. It was Merlin who had reorganized the Mind Power system, supporting it with the Purple Emperor's inheritance. Only then was the entire Mind Power system tentatively refined.

Throughout this process, Merlin gained many benefits as well. Areas which had puzzled him before, upon his thorough organization, naturally became clear to him.

Merlin could even feel that he merely needed a small push to attain the Illusory Heart. Even if there was no such opportunity, in less than a century, he could still successfully reach the realm of the Illusory Heart, becoming a powerful Ninth-level Mind Power Master!

Chapter 748: Summoned by the Arcane Wizard

"Are you awake?"

When Merlin opened his eyes, other than the puppet, Maya was standing before him.

Maya's face was suffused with glee. It seemed like the benefit he obtained from the Purple Emperor made him very pleased.

"Wizard Merlin, I'm afraid we have to leave."

Maya gestured at the puppet as he spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Merlin had just tentatively refined the Mind Power system. Although his capabilities were not boosted, this was still important to him. It was not just because he could nearly touch the Illusory Heart but more crucially, tentatively refining the Mind Power system was an earth-shattering development to the entire Spell Caster civilization.

"Master's inheritance has been passed on to you. According to Master's arrangements, once the inheritance is gone, you must leave. This dimension is transformed from Master's body and has no Dimension Origin. Master didn't want his body to be controlled by anyone. Therefore, after you leave, this dimension formed from Master's body will rapidly burn, finally becoming ashes and vanishes in the Void Zone."

Although the puppet's words were calm, its tone revealed a trace of sorrow.

The purple dimension was going to disappear. Merlin was rather rueful. One of the lofty Thirty-six Emperors of the past would still die, and a trillion years after his death, the inheritance he left behind was ultimately not passed on to the members of his tribe.

"It's time to leave."

Merlin drew in a deep breath. Even though he could sense the power of the purple dimension and do not wish to let such a powerful dimension vanish, this was the Purple Emperor's decision.

Even if he was reluctant to let go, he could not preserve this dimension.

"Maya, I believe you've received a great benefit as well. Let's go."

Merlin and Maya immediately flew out of the purple dimension. Both of them stood silently in the Void Zone, watching the purple dimension drift further away. The purple glow grew brighter before finally erupting in scorching flames that instantly swallowed the dimension, burning furiously.

"Shame to lose such a powerful dimension!"

Merlin mumbled softly. A dimension transformed from an ultimate existence after his death was far superior to most dimensions. If one could occupy it, one would certainly gain many benefits.

Moreover, there were many things in the purple dimension which the Purple Emperor might not value highly, yet they were important to Merlin and Maya. However, as the purple dimension burned, all of this had vanished."Swoosh."

Merlin and Maya stood in the Void Zone. The force of Maya's body had not changed but his face was filled with confidence.

"Maya, I wonder what treasure did you get?"

Merlin asked with a smile. He and Maya had started out as enemies but were compelled to swear an oath in the purple dimension, forming a temporary alliance. Their relationship was a complicated one.

"Haha, what benefits can compare to the Purple Emperor's inheritance you received? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about the Purple Emperor's inheritance. However, I hope you can keep a secret about what I've received as well."

Seeing that Maya was acting so secretive, Merlin became interested. He knew that if the Purple Emperor was willing to give something, it must be extraordinary. Something which made Maya so delighted must be really special.

"Haha, the thing which the Purple Emperor gave me isn't useful to you Spell Casters at all but to our Golden Light Tribe, it is essential. It's a massive dimension equipped with defensive measures set up by the Purple Emperor himself. Even a Lord would have no way of breaking through, and an ultimate existence would need to make a great effort to break through."

"A dimension?"

Merlin glanced at the bead in Maya's hand. Could such a small bead be a dimension?

"This bead is the Dimension Core. With it, I can control the dimension. That dimension is always adrift as well. Add this on to the Purple Emperor's defensive measures, and our Golden Light Tribe won't have to fear other foreign tribes anymore. This is even better than our origin place!"

Maya appeared very excited. Although he was already on par with an Honored Legend, he had focused all effort on the Golden Light Tribe. Obtaining such a dimension would allow them to establish a foundation. With this dimension, the Golden Light Tribe could safely develop in the future and might be able to produce an ultimate existence.

However, the Void Zone was filled with various dangers. Back then, the Purple Emperor must have also provided defenses for the Purple Tribe, defenses as powerful as the dimension he created. Nonetheless, after a long period, the Purple Tribe still vanished.

Therefore, even with this dimension, the Golden Light Tribe was not free of worries but at least they were in a better position than before.

"Congratulations, Maya!"

Merlin chortled. Receiving this dimension was indeed significant for Maya. With this dimension, he would not have to clash stubbornly with Merlin.

"Haha, Wizard Merlin has obtained the inheritance. I believe that in the future, you'll surely become a Great Lord among the Spell Casters or even the mightier ultimate existence! If you need anything, just contact me."

With that, Maya gave Merlin a unique imprint, which could allow communication with Maya. This was an expression of goodwill.

Merlin nodded and kept the imprint. Following that, Maya turned to leave.Merlin returned to his eight dimensions. The strange thing was, he did not continue expanding his territory but instead, stayed in his dimension and no longer showed himself.

One year, ten years, fifty years…

The boundless territory seemed to have silently acknowledged Merlin's forces. The eight dimensions had become the territory of an enigmatic Honored Legend. No foreign tribe dared to provoke him. In the past, Maya of the Golden Light Tribe had previously gone there, but in the end, the matter was organically resolved.

Therefore, the Spell Caster's forces advanced slightly through these eight dimensions, increasing the size of the Spell Caster's forces.

"Phew… We're finally here. This is the most remote dimension of our Spell Caster civilization."

Three Great Legends, who seemed to have recently condensed one Maxim each, traveled a great distance to get here. They had reached the Spell Caster civilization's most far-flung dimension in the boundless territory, called the Redfire Dimension.

The Fire Element here was abnormally lively. Many Legends who had condensed a Flame Maxim or Spell Casters interested in Fire Element, liked to visit the Redfire Dimension.

As for the Gerva Dimension, it was forgotten long ago. Gerva was no longer the furthest dimension of the Spell Caster civilization in the boundless territory. In its place was the Redfire Dimension and the other seven dimensions.

"This Redfire Dimension is prosperous."

A Spell Caster dressed in a blue robe spoke in astonishment.

"Of course. I've heard that decades ago, the Redfire Dimension belonged to foreign tribes but a Great Honored Legend among our Spell Casters seized eight dimensions in one fell swoop, managing to control them all. Therefore, our Spell Caster civilization is able to penetrate so deeply into the boundless territory."

Some Spell Casters who came to the Redfire Dimension understood the situation here. Although more often than not they were incorrect, nevertheless, it was all centered around a mysterious Honored Legend.

These eight dimensions were controlled by that mysterious Honored Legend!

"An Honored Legend… We came to the boundless territory this time to control dimensions, then use the Elemental Origin. We might consolidate an ultimate Maxim as well, becoming an Honored Legend!"

"Haha, how can it be that easy to become an Honored Legend? There's more hope of controlling dimensions to condense one or two more Maxims. In the boundless territory, no one needs to fear anything. The foreign tribes are afraid of our Spell Caster civilization."

The eyes of these Legendary Wizards were filled with hope. Spell Casters who had just arrived in the boundless territory had the same gaze, brimming with anticipation and immense confidence.

"That's right. In the boundless territory, the Spell Caster faction is the strongest, and we don't have to fear anything."

These Legendary Wizards did not realize that, before coming to the Redfire Dimension, they were still cautious and prudent, but now, they all bore a manner of unparalleled confidence.

"Hah… Human emotions!"

A sudden exclamation rang out but no one seemed to have heard it.

In a castle in the Redfire Dimension, Merlin, dressed in a black robe, wore a helpless expression.

"It's been fifty years. All eight dimensions are covered by my Hallucinating spell. Anyone who steps into any of these dimensions would fall into the illusion unwittingly."

It turned out that Merlin had spread his Hallucinating spell over the eight dimensions, and no one had noticed it. This was rather scary.

Furthermore, the only thing that Merlin had been doing during the past fifty years was to observe the emotional changes of the Spell Casters in the illusions.

Merlin was contemplating the human spirit!

This was because the Illusory Heart could control an enemy's spirit. It was the second stage of the Hallucinating spells' three main stages, second only to condensing an Illusory World. To control an enemy's spirit, one must first understand the human spirit incisively.

In these years, Merlin had been observing and understanding the human spirit. Anyone who stepped in his eight dimensions would experience gradual changes in their emotions.

Based on so many years of observation, Merlin could almost feel that the realm of the Illusory Heart was within his reach. Nonetheless, he was unable to level up successfully as if still lacking something.

"Titus still hasn't moved…"

Merlin even thought about asking Titus but Titus was already lost completely in the stage of materialization of the Hallucinating spell. Up until now, he had not moved at all. No matter how Merlin called to him, it was useless.

Merlin's Mind Power was so tremendous now that he was easily able to command even eight dimensions.

Just as Merlin prepared to continue his meditation, hoping to find an entry point into the stage of the Illusory Heart through the illusion, a peculiar fluctuation passed over the eight dimensions.

"Summoned by Setoh Arcane City?"

Merlin could distinctly sense this strange fluctuation. This was Arcane Wizard Setoh of Setoh Arcane City using the power of the natural order to summon the Spell Casters of Setoh Arcane City.

Only Wizards above the level of Legends could sense this!

Merlin was somewhat reluctant to part with these eight dimensions. After all, perhaps in some time, he might be able to successfully break through to the stage of the Illusory Heart. However, no Spell Caster could reject being summoned by an Arcane Wizard.

"I wonder what's happened now. Fine then, I'll withdraw my Hallucinating spell and return to Arcane City!"

Merlin instantly dispersed the illusion which enveloped the eight dimensions. Many Wizards only felt that something was different but they were unable to point out what happened exactly.

Nonetheless, in that instant, many Legendary Wizards received the same mysterious fluctuation, the summoning from an Arcane Wizard. Therefore, Spell Casters above the level of Legend from the mighty Spell Caster civilization seemed to drop in numbers all at once, and the boundless territory became deserted.

Chapter 749: Meeting Oflas Again!

The cold and dark Void Zone seemed to become lively, especially in the dazzling Setoh Arcane City, where many powerful Legendary Wizards came one after another. This was an unusual sight.

These Legendary Wizards unhesitatingly released the life force of their Maxims.

Moreover, there were many Spell Casters who were arriving outside Arcane City.

"Hoo…"

Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation from far away swept across the entire Setoh Arcane City. The mighty force had paled several Legendary Wizards.

Most of the Spell Casters who had just arrived at Setoh Arcane City were Legends with two or three Maxims. However, this fluctuation belonged to someone who was above ordinary Legends. Only an Honored Legend who had formed an ultimate Maxim would be capable of that.

An Honored Legend was a huge figure no matter the place. They stood at the peak and were second only to the great Lords! How many Lords were there in Setoh Arcane City? The amount could be counted with one hand.

Therefore, although there was a large commotion when this Honored Legend appeared, no one had a disgruntled expression. Instead, everyone was busy guessing the identity of this mysterious Honored Legend.

"What a rich Darkness Maxim. This is a Darkness-type ultimate Maxim. It's a Legend of Darkness! At present, there are only a few in the Spell Caster civilization who had consolidated a Darkness-type ultimate Maxim, and there's no one other than the Great Legend of Darkness, Wizard Oflas, who's from Setoh Arcane City."

"Oflas?"

Many people instantly paled upon hearing that name.

Oflas' reputation was not very good. Under his command was an army of puppets that he had controlled by cultivating Darkness Eye.

With such a large group of subordinates comparable to Legends, the Great Legend of Darkness, Wizard Oflas' forces expanded rapidly. He was already the top existence among Honored Legends, second only to Lords!

Therefore, it did not matter much that Oflas was acting so grandiosely.

"Hoo…"

The Darkness Maxim swept by, but at this time, there was a seemingly insignificant figure who also flew into Setoh Arcane City.

"The Legend of Darkness!"

This black-robed figure was already aware of the Darkness Maxim fluctuations and raised his head sharply, his eyes flashing.

"Maxim Chains!"

The chain-like Maxims swept past in an instant, cutting off the mighty Darkness Maxims. Immediately, the entire Void Zone seemed to tremble.

"Who dares to attack me?"

The Legend of Darkness, Oflas' voice roared with endless anger. Suddenly, a blanket of Darkness Maxim engulfed everything.

Oflas was furious. Many ordinary Legends backed away from him, and some looked at the black-robed figure in the distant uncertainly. They saw the inconspicuous black-robed figure who had suddenly attacked Oflas earlier.

"Who is that? How dare he attack Oflas? Oflas is famous for his ferocity. Once they become enemies, he'll do everything to kill his opponents. There are already a number of Spell Casters who either explicitly or implicitly died in his hands."

Many Legends were fearful of Oflas. The Spell Caster civilization was relatively stable. Even if Legends fought each other, it would not end with death.

However, Oflas was different. He would send his puppet army to annihilate his opponents. It was also because of this that Oflas had occupied dozens of dimensions in the Spell Caster civilization and was called the Darkness Country.

Those who were called "countries" were generally forces of Great Lords, and Oflas was the only Honored Legend who occupied dimensions and established forces comparable to a "country".

"Who is it?"

The darkness swept through, and even Mind Power was unable to probe within. The black-robed Spell Caster had a terrifying crimson eye on his forehead, and behind him were a dozen Spell Casters.

"Oflas! You don't recognize me?"

A calm voice sounded. Merlin silently stood at the Void Zone. At this moment, the Maxim Chains were released without scruple. The entire Void Zone could feel its horrifying power.

"It's another Honored Legend who had formed an ultimate Maxim?"

"It looks like a Darkness Maxim as well. Since when did another Legend of Darkness appear in our Setoh Arcane City?"

Many Spell Casters were shocked. In the Spell Caster civilization, even the birth of an ordinary Legend was a huge matter, let alone an Honored Legend.

Moreover, Merlin was a very rarely seen Legend of Darkness. Merlin became an Honored Legend with his Darkness-type spells and was qualified to be called a Legend of Darkness.

"You? Merlin?"

The aggressive Legend of Darkness Oflas finally realized Merlin's identity. In the beginning, the Blackfire Lord had forced him to eliminate the hidden danger of Merlin's Darkness Eye for Merlin's sake. That was something that Oflas had never been able to forget.

It had always been in his heart as that was his greatest shame. Oflas had always been the one forcing others but that was his first time being forced instead by the Blackfire Lord.

However, the Blackfire Lord was a Lord after all. No matter how powerful Oflas was, he was just an Honored Legend, so he could only admit defeat. He just did not expect that Merlin would have become an Honored Legend. How many years had it been?

He might even become an Honored Legend within a hundred years. Even Oflas found that inconceivable.

"Merlin! You're the Blackfire Lord's disciple, so I won't bicker with you!"

Although Oflas hated Merlin very much, he could only endure once he recalled that Merlin was the Blackfire Lord's disciple. A Lord was the top existence of the Spell Caster civilization. Even Oflas, a well-known Honored Legend, was extremely fearful.

"You won't bicker with me but I will!"

Merlin's eyes coldly glared at Oflas. Back then, if not for the Blackfire Lord, the hidden danger of Darkness Eye might have caused Merlin to become one of the puppets under Oflas' control.

Merlin had always wanted to resolve this matter in person. Firstly, he had never met Oflas before, and secondly, Oflas was indeed very powerful and was a well-known Honored Legend. He was not easy to deal with.

However, now, Merlin had consolidated an ultimate Maxim. He was no longer afraid of Oflas!

"You will? Merlin, when the Blackfire Lord forced me to eliminate the hidden danger in your Darkness Eye, I didn't do anything more to you. How dare you argue with me?"

Oflas seemed to have suffered a great "insult" and was immediately enraged.

"Hum."

The answer to Oflas were bouts of Maxim Chains gathering and weaving one after another, turning into a big net and draping over Oflas.

Chapter 750: Crisis I

"Clink clink clink."

Merlin's Maxim Chain was extremely terrifying. These were chains formed with his ultimate Maxim, and was Merlin's most familiar method of attack.

"Root of Darkness!"

Oflas was also an Honored Legend, and both had consolidated Darkness-type ultimate Maxims. Oflas had fought against other Honored Legends but this was his first time going up against an Honored Legend of the same type.

Merlin was quite excited. Although Maya and he were evenly matched, Maya was not a Spell Caster after all, and did not have a Maxim. His power was completely different from Spell Casters.

It was also Merlin's first time fighting another Honored Legend after forming an ultimate Maxim, and becoming an Honored Legend himself.

Oflas waved his hand and a huge vortex formed as if madly devouring the Darkness. Pure darkness was not Darkness Elements but complete darkness.

The entire Void Zone seemed to twist and merge into Oflas' Root of Darkness.

"Boom."

The two Maxims viciously collided and intertwined with each other. They were both ultimate Maxims but the way they manifested were too different. It was not far-fetched to say that they were ever-changing.

Merlin's was the Maxim Chains, and Oflas' was the Root of Darkness. However, their essences were the same. As long as an ultimate Maxim was formed, that meant they had almost reached the peak and was enlightened on the essence of that Element. With that thorough understanding, there was no gap anymore.

At this time, the difference would be how many ultimate Maxims were formed. Great Lords condensed at least two ultimate Maxims.

Therefore, with Merlin's ultimate Wizard Heart, he was naturally stronger than ordinary Spell Casters. However, he would be stronger not because of the Maxims itself but because he could condense more Maxims.

For example, Merlin wished to form an ultimate Maxim with his Fire-type spells, which would be his second ultimate Maxim. If he succeeded, he would become a Great Lord!

Merlin and Oflas' Maims caused a whirlwind and swept across all the directions. The surrounding Legendary Wizards had long since made themselves scarce and hid far away, afraid of being affected. The ordinary Maxims they comprehended would be suppressed by the ultimate Maxims.

The Maxims of the two Wizards collided with each other, evenly matched. They were both Honored Legends. Without a decisive force, it would be difficult for one of them to emerge victorious.

Unless one could completely suppress the other's Maxim, no other means would be of help. Merlin generally knew that his current strength had reached that of an Honored Legend. The gap between them was minute.

Only when Merlin's Hallucinating spell broke through the realm of the Illusory Heart, and he became a Ninth-level Mind Power Master, could he completely suppress an Honored Legend!

"Enough!"

Suddenly, a loud voice rang in the Void Zone. A Darkness and Flame Matrix intertwined and viciously separated Merlin and Oflas.

Merlin and Oflas were both shocked, feeling the grand power. These were two ultimate Maxims that belonged to a Great Lord. They stood no chance against it.

"Sir Lord!"

"Teacher!"

Oflas looked at the Wizard who suddenly appeared with fear. It was the Blackfire Lord.

At this point, the Blackfire Lord looked at Merlin with an expression of relief. He had never imagined that Merlin could condense an Ultimate Maxim in such a short amount of time and became an Honored Legend!

During the civilization war with the Rock Tribe, the strength Merlin showed surpassed even civilization-level prodigies, and he was valued by many Legendary Wizards.

However, Merlin had never formed a Maxim and become a Legendary Wizard. No matter how strong a prodigy was, he would only be a prodigy, and not a contender.

Now, Merlin had achieved success and formed an ultimate Maxim, becoming an Honored Legend. He was no less stronger than the Legend of Darkness, Oflas. Merlin could be said to have walked to the peak. He was now one of the powerful Great Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization.

"Merlin, come with me."

The Blackfire Lord glanced at Oflas but did not say anything. Merlin also did not want to kill Oflas. He was just angry at the thought that he was almost controlled by Oflas in the past.

This was humiliating for Oflas but it also made him sigh in relief.

"Haha."

Just as he brought Merlin back to Setoh Arcane City, the Blackfire Lord started laughing.

"Merlin, many people don't like Oflas but no one dares to cause trouble for him. After all, he's a well-known Honored Legend and is quite powerful. Who would've thought that he would be so humiliated today after you've made such a fuss?"

The Blackfire Lord gazed at Merlin full of joy. He did not care about Oflas as he was the oldest Lord, and his relationship with Arcane Wizard Setoh was also special. How would he care about one Honored Legend?

However, this did not mean that he did not know Oflas' strength. In the Spell Caster civilization, Oflas was a powerful force. Otherwise, he would not have been able to create his "Darkness Country".

However, now, the powerful Oflas had been humiliated by Merlin.

"Teacher Blackfire, I only acted on the spur of the moment. I won't cause trouble for Oflas anymore."

Merlin knew that Oflas was an Honored Legend of Setoh Arcane City. Every Honored Legend had very high status. Arcane Wizard Setoh would not let two Honored Legends fight to the death.

Therefore, the matter today with Oflas no longer continued. It could be over between them.

The Blackfire Lord nodded. "Yes. Merlin, out of all my disciples, I like you the most, and you haven't let me down. You're the first to become an Honored Legend. Now that you're an Honored Legend, I'm also slightly relieved."

Seeing the Blackfire Lord frown, Merlin was touched. Becoming an Honored Legend was only slightly reassuring. It seemed that the matter this time was not simple.

"Teacher, what exactly happened? Arcane Wizard Setoh summoned us back. Is it because a civilization war started again?"

To summon so many Legendary Wizards at once, and even cause the Blackfire Lord to be deeply worried, the situation was not simple. Merlin immediately thought about a civilization war.

"It's more serious than a civilization war! This time, it's not only Setoh Arcane City. All three Great Arcane Cities have been fully mobilized. Our Spell Caster civilization hasn't been mobilized like this for a long time."

There was a hint of grimness in the Blackfire Lord's tone.

"All three Great Arcane Cities have been mobilized? Isn't that the same as mobilizing the entire Spell Caster civilization?"

Merlin gasped in shock. He had thought that only Setoh Arcane City was in trouble but it seemed not that it was not that simple. All three Great Arcane Cities, and the Spell Caster civilization, were in trouble.

"Could it be the God Alliance?"

Merlin immediately thought about the God Alliance. Only the God Alliance had the power to make the Spell Caster civilization so nervous. After all, the God Alliance comprised of eight gods organizations. Excluding the Light God Organization, there were still seven god organizations.

However, the God Alliance was generally scattered, and would never unite to fight against a civilization.

"It's not the God Alliance, but the Rock Tribe."

The Blackfire Lord said solemnly.

"The Rock Tribe? Didn't the Rock Tribe lose in the last civilization war? How could they still have the strength to start another civilization war?"

Merlin thought about the Rock Tribe's forces. The last time, only Setoh Arcane City fought in the war against the Rock Tribe. It did not seem necessary to mobilize the entire Spell Caster civilization.

"There are some things that you should know. In addition to the Rock Tribe, what's making the three Great Arcane Cities more worried about is the Atlan civilization, your hometown. Back then, the Glorious Land was heavily damaged by the Atlan civilization. The war started thousands of years ago and continues until today. It hasn't ended yet. This time, the Rock Trobe had contacted the Atlan civilization through unknown means. The situation is very unfavorable to the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, all three Great Arcane Cities had to be mobilized."

The Blackfire Lord finally explained the reason. It was because of the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization. Many Spell Casters did not even know about the existence of the Atlan civilization.

Only Spell Casters above Legendary level, especially the Wizards who had experienced the bitter war in the past, knew the terror of the Atlan civilization.

At that moment, Merlin fell silent.

Merlin obtained an empire-level warship from the Atlan civilization. No one knew how terrifying the Atlan civilization was more than he did. As long as there were resources and energy, the potential of the Atlan civilization was almost unimaginable.

Now, the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization joined forces. There was no doubt that they both had a common enemy — the Spell Caster civilization! It was not surprising that the three Great Arcane Cities were so nervous this time. The threat of the Rock Tribe was relatively small but the Atlan civilization was a force that not even the Three Great Arcane Wizards dared to underestimate.

In the beginning, it was the Spell Caster civilization that opened up the Atlan civilization. Later, they experienced a nightmarish war, which caused the place the Spell Caster originated from to suffer great damages.

Chapter 751: Crisis II

"What happened with the Atlan civilization? Didn't we win during the war back then? Wasn't the Atlan civilization completely destroyed?"

Merlin thought about the war with the Vestigial Tribe that swept through the entire Void Zone that the Purple Emperor had mentioned. The Vestigial Tribe had some similar characteristics with the mysterious Atlan civilization. Merlin also wanted to know more about the Atlan civilization.

The Blackfire Lord hesitated for a moment before sighing. "Merlin, you've become an Honored Legend now, and you also have the right to know some things. The Atlan civilization isn't well-known in the outside world because from the beginning to the end, the Atlan civilization had been surrounded by our Spell Caster civilization. The civilization war that had erupted back then was also because the Spell Caster civilization was expanding and opened the Atlan civilization.

"None of us expected that there would be such a huge dimension in the Void Zone. Merlin, it's still difficult for you to imagine what a dimension tens of thousands of times larger than the average dimension means. That dimension alone can compare to all the dimensions that the Spell Caster civilization conquered or perhaps even larger."

Merlin was shocked. How terrifying was a dimension tens of thousands of times larger than an ordinary dimension? The Spell Caster civilization's forces were powerful now but they had also occupied tens of thousands of dimensions. This was the result of the Spell Caster civilization's expansion over many years.

However, the Atlan civilization was just a single dimension but it was huge. It was not surprising that the Atlan civilization could develop so many unique items.

"If it was just the huge size of the dimension, then it wouldn't matter. No matter how large the dimension, if it's conquered by our Spell Caster civilization, it would be more beneficial to us. It'll far surpass the Glorious Land. The Great Ultimate Arcane Wizards had also entered the Atlan dimension before and realized that the dimension was very powerful. Once they had entered the Atlan dimension, the natural order was isolated. Nevertheless, even if an ultimate being couldn't mobilize the power of the natural order, they still had power equivalent to a powerful Lord."

This was Merlin's first time hearing so many details about the Atlan civilization as well as the Atlan dimension. That strange dimension could isolate the natural order? That was too strange. After all, the power of the natural order was everywhere. As long as they were in the Void Zone, they would be under the influence of the natural order.

Ultimate existences that had integrated with the natural order were almost invincible. No one would compete with ultimate existence under the influence of the natural order.

Besides the Vestigial Tribe… The Vestigial Tribe swept past the entire Void Zone. Their cultivation methods were completely different from Spell Casters, the Giant Tribe, and everyone else, so there was no need for them to integrate with the natural order.

Merlin had more questions about the Atlan civilization now. If he had not known the Vestigial Tribe, he would not have such speculation either. However, since he knew the terrifying Vestigial Tribe that had swept past the Void Zone back then, he wondered if the Atlan civilization was related to the Vestigial Tribe.

If they were, then it would be very troublesome. The Purple Emperor had clearly said that everyone from the Vestigial Tribe was killed, and not a single one was left alive.

Merlin's mind was also full of disorderly thoughts as he continued to listen to the Blackfire Lord's introduction.

"The Atlan civilization doesn't need Elements or the natural order. Their power comes from all kinds of strange minerals and energy. They have powerful warships and armors that allow small and weak Wizards to instantly have power rivaling Great Legends. They can also create puppets comparable to Legends. When the Atlan civilization released their terrifying power in the past, they easily defeated our Spell Caster civilization, and even spread the fires of war to the Glorious Land.

"In the end, the Three Great Arcane Wizards finally acted after determining that there were no ultimate existences in the Atlan civilization. They used their ultimate power to channel the force of the natural order to destroy countless Atlan civilization warships. Only then did the Atlan civilization hurriedly retreat to their own dimension. However, that was all. The Three Great Wizards entered the Atlan dimension and couldn't sense the power of the natural order. Although they were still powerful, to the Three Great Arcane Wizards who couldn't mobilize the power of the natural order in the Atlan civilization, it posed a fatal threat to them.

"Therefore, we can only seal off the Atlan civilization in their dimension while an Arcane Wizard has been personally overseeing it until now. In fact, the war is still ongoing! Now, we don't know what methods the Rock Tribe used to contact the Atlan civilization. If the Rock Tribe Progenitor holds back our Three Great Arcane Wizards, who will hold back the Atlan civilization?"

The Blackfire Lord had already explained the secrets of the Spell Caster civilization. Many Spell Casters had not even heard of the Atlan civilization, so they naturally did not know the horror of the Atlan civilization.

Only those like the Blackfire Lord, who had personally experienced the war, would know the terror of the Atlan civilization. Besides ultimate existences, Lords, Honored Legends, and Legendary Wizards were all no match for the Atlan civilization.

From the empire-level warship, Merlin already knew how terrifying the Atlan civilization was. As long as there were enough materials and energy, a regular empire-level warship could continuously manufacture martial arts robots comparable to ordinary Legends. What about dimension-level warships? Would that not be more horrible?

Besides ultimate existences, no force could compete with the Atlan civilization. It was not surprising that even though it was just news that the Rock Tribe had made contact with the Atlan civilization, the Spell Caster civilization was still extremely nervous.

"Blackfire Lord, is it possible to temporarily give up a portion of the Atlan civilization's dimension?"

Merlin pondered. If the Atlan civilization had established contact with the Rock Tribe, then the threat would be too large. However, on another thought, the Atlan civilization was also a civilization, and needed a place to live. This did not involve just the Spell Caster civilization. If it were a matter of threats, then other civilizations were also threats to the Atlan civilization.

The Blackfire Lord shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The Atlan civilization just happens to be in the core territory of our Spell Caster civilization. If they ally with the Rock Tribe, our Spell Caster civilization forces would shrink by more than half. That's extremely unfavorable to the development of the entire civilization."

Merlin immediately understood. It was a battle for a place to survive that led to a civilization war. It was just a civilization that needed a place to survive.

The Spell Caster civilization had already expanded for more than three thousand years, and had finally reached their current prosperous state. To voluntarily withdraw and lose more than half their dimensions would be something very difficult for the Three Great Wizards to commit to.

Besides, no one could say for sure that even if the Spell Caster civilization made concessions, the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization would not continue to chase after them and let the Spell Caster civilization off.

The Three Great Arcane Wizards would not be able to afford that high a price.

Furthermore, the Spell Caster civilization now had not reached the end of the line yet. They only needed to firmly surround the Atlan civilization and send at least two Ultimate Arcane Wizards to oversee them and trap the Atlan civilization. That would make the alliance between the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization a joke. The Atlan civilization's advantages would not be able to come into play.

After all, the Atlan civilization did not have ultimate existences. Against ultimate existences, no amount of warships, martial arts robots, and so on would be of use.

"Teacher, what's the current situation?"

Merlin was most concerned about the Atlan civilization. If the Atlan civilization had already joined forces with the Rock Tribe, then the situation would be very grim for the Spell Casters.

The Blackfire Lord smiled and said, "It's not a large problem for the time being. Arcane Wizard Ceci has been stationed at the surrounding of the Atlan dimension. If the Rock Tribe Progenitor arrives, Arcane Wizard Ceci will know."

Merlin nodded. As long as the Atlan civilization was still suppressed, the problem would not be that large. However, the Rock Tribe would send someone into the Atlan dimension. That would be troublesome.

It seemed that the three Great Arcane Wizards were mobilizing the entire Spell Caster civilization to deal with the Rock Tribe. This time, it would not be as simple as the civilization war from before. They would have to completely suppress the Rock Tribe.

After all, the Rock Tribe had already made movements to join forces with the Atlan civilization and annihilate the Spell Caster civilization. This infuriated the Three Great Arcane Wizards.

This massive civilization war was already inevitable!A month passed, and more Spell Casters continued to gather at Setoh Arcane City, all at least Great Legends. Even Teacher Zado, who Merlin was familiar with, arrived.

Teacher Zado, who had formed five Maxims, had not been enlightened on an ultimate Maxim yet. Therefore, when he saw that Merlin had already surpassed him and became an Honored Legend, he had a look of disbelief.

Currently, Merlin sat beside Legend Zado. Around them were many Legends and Honored Legends all sitting together, quietly waiting. The forces concentrated in Setoh Arcane City were extremely powerful now, and all that was left was Arcane Wizard Setoh himself.

"Merlin, I still find it hard to believe. You've reached heaven in a single bound and consolidated an ultimate Maxim? I wanted to let you practice more and form a Maxim to become a Legend. Who would've thought…"

Legend Zado still seemed to be in disbelief. He had consolidated five Maxims but he had not formed a single ultimate Maxim even after a thousand years. Naturally, he knew how difficult it was to form an ultimate Maxim.

"My luck was just good. Teacher Zado, you just need an opportunity."

Merlin could tell that Legend Zado was just about to form an ultimate Maxim. He was just missing an opportunity but that could take hundreds of thousands of years or even more to occur.

However, no one could do anything about that. He could only silently anticipate that the opportunity would occur earlier.

"It doesn't matter. I've waited for so many years, so how would I still care about a little time? Besides, I've already formed Maxims. I have plenty of time."

Legend Zado did not mind either. As long as he had condensed a Maxim and became a Legend, he would not die as long as his Maxim was not destroyed. Therefore, in theory, these Legendary Wizards were the same as gods. They had an endless lifespan.

"Boom."

Suddenly, a huge pressure descended. Many Legends were talking in low voices earlier, but they all became serious at this moment. This pressure completely surpassed that of a Great Lord's. It was the arrival of an Ultimate Arcane Wizard!

Arcane Wizard Setoh arrived in a white light.

Following behind Arcane Wizard Setoh were six Great Lords including the Blackfire Lord. They were the strongest force in Setoh Arcane City.

Even in the previous war with the Rock Tribes, there were only four Great Lords. Now, there were two more. It showed that Setoh Arcane City was going all out this time and did not dare to have any reservations.

Arcane Wizard Setoh did not seem to have changed at all since the last time Merlin saw him. The only difference might have been that Arcane Wizard Setoh's gaze was deeper.

"Everyone, I've summoned you here to Setoh Arcane City as it's important to the entire Spell Caster civilization. This is a matter of life and death!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh said solemnly after appearing.

At the same time, the six Great Lords also looked grim as their gazes swept across the many Legendary Wizards below.

Merlin was sitting near the front. After all, he was a great Honored Legend. In any place, an Honored Legend had incredibly high status. In weaker civilizations, an Honored Legend would be able to support an entire civilization alone.

"What's going on? We all responded to Arcane Wizard Setoh's summon but we don't know how serious the matter is. Did another civilization war erupt?"

Some Legendary Wizards asked curiously. All of them had rushed over but they did not know the reason why.

Arcane Wizard Setoh hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "The Rock Tribe… The Rock Tribe was unwilling to be resigned to being defeated by our Setoh Arcane City back then, and have joined forces with the Atlan civilization, which our Spell Caster civilization has firmly suppressed. I believe that some Legends would still remember the Atlan civilization. Therefore, not only our Setoh Arcane City but Ceci Arcane City and Augustus Arcane City have been mobilized as well."

"Chatter."

All the Legendary Wizards began to discuss after Arcane Wizard Setoh had spoken. Some new Legendary Wizards might have known a little about the Atlan civilization but there were some Legendary Wizards had been around for a much longer time, and had personally experienced the cruel war from back then. They naturally knew the horrors of the Atlan civilization.

Setoh Arcane City even gradually caught up to Ceci Arcane City, one of the three Great Arcane Cities because Ceci Arcane City had been suppressing the Atlan civilization, and not many Legendary Wizards were willing to join them.

In a few hundred years, Setoh Arcane City might be able to completely surpass Ceci Arcane City.

"It's the Atlan civilization. This is troublesome."

"What's the Atlan civilization? Are they stronger than the Rock Tribe?"

"There are two ultimate existences in the Rock Tribe but I've never heard of one in the Atlan civilization…"

These Legendary Wizards had such conversations from time to time. Some Spell Casters who had experienced the terrible war were unwilling to speak more. They all knew the terror of the Atlan civilization. However, the new Legends who had never experienced the war with the Atlan civilization were curious and kept asking about the Atlan civilization.

In short, at that moment, the entire hall was somewhat chaotic.

"It's the Atlan civilization… Merlin, did you know this already?"

Legend Zado, who originally had a relaxed expression, slowly became grim. It seemed that Legend Zado did not receive any news in advance, and only knew that it was related to the Atlan civilization now.

"Teacher Zado, I met Teacher Blackfire earlier. He already told me."

Legend Zado nodded and said, "Yes, I forgot that you're a disciple the Blackfire Lord values… I believe you also know how terrifying the Atlan civilization is. However, you only know a little since you haven't experienced it. The Blackfire Lord and I have personally experienced it before… I thought things were becoming calm. I didn't expect that a civilization war would start again."

Merlin looked at Legend Zado. Those who had experienced the war would never forget it, and would never want to take part in that cruel battle again.

However, even if they were unwilling, there was no other choice now. Now that the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization had joined forces secretly, they posed a great threat to the Spell Caster civilization.

"Alright, I believe that all of you understand that the Atlan civilization has joined forces with the Rock Tribe. The situation is still under the control of the Spell Caster civilization. Currently, Arcane Wizard Ceci is already preparing. Ceci Arcane City will not move as they're suppressing the Atlan civilization. Therefore, our Setoh Arcane City would be facing the Rock Tribe again. The civilization war this time will be more severe than the last. However, our Setoh Arcane City would obtain victory in the war!"

With Arcane Wizard Setoh's order, the Legendary Wizards immediately began to fly toward the direction of the Rock Tribe. The six Great Lords all brought out powerful casting tools to bring the Legendary Wizards there.

"Merlin, you have to be careful this time. Since the Rock Tribe dared to challenge our Spell Caster civilization again, they have something to rely on. You must be cautious especially of the Atlan civilization. If we really can't suppress them this time, I'm afraid it'll be very dangerous."

Legend Zado reminded Merlin not to let his guard down no matter what. Merlin naturally knew that even if he had become an Honored Legend, it was nothing when in the face of the Atlan civilization.

After all, the Origin Lord had died because of the Atlan civilization. He was a terrifying Lord as well as an ultimate existence but he was killed by the Atlan civilization.

Furthermore, Merlin also had an Atlan civilization empire-level warship. He knew better than anyone how terrifying the Atlan civilization was.In the silent Void Zone, six huge ships exuding frightening forces flew forward mightily. Spell Casters or foreign tribe contenders who felt these six powerful forces hurriedly stay away.

The life force of Great Lords was emitted without restraint above the ships. That terrifying ultimate Maxim seemed to tear apart anything that stood in its way.

Currently, the six Great Lords and Arcane Wizard Setoh were in a large hall. Their respective casting tools were controlled by apparitions while their real bodies gathered with Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Wizard Setoh, what's the situation now? Will there be any problem in Ceci Arcane City?"

It was the Nightmare Lord who spoke first. He was the first Lord of Setoh Arcane City, and had formed four ultimate Maxims, making him second only to Arcane Wizard Setoh.

These Lords were different from Spell Casters. They were the true core that stood at the peak of the Spell Caster civilization, leading the progress of the civilization.

They knew that the situation this time was very serious. However, the most important thing to deal with was not the Rock Tribe that Setoh Arcane City would be fighting but the Atlan Dimension, which Ceci Arcane City was overseeing instead. As long as the Atlan civilization was unable to leave their dimension and remained suppressed by Ceci Arcane City, then it would not help no matter how provoking the Rock Tribe was.

In overall strength, the Spell Caster civilization was far stronger than the Rock Tribe!

"Be rest assured. Arcane Wizard Ceci had made ample preparations this time and surrounded the Atlan Dimension. Even if the Rock Tribe had plans to sneak someone inside, they can give up now. Anyone who dares to come out of the Atlan Dimension would be killed without hesitation by Arcane Wizard Ceci."

Arcane Wizard Setoh was very assured when it came to Arcane Wizard Ceci. Although the Atlan civilization was strong, since they had no ultimate existences, they could only be turtles hiding in their shells. If they left their dimension, they would not have any power that could resist Arcane Wizard Ceci's attack.

Therefore, although the current situation was grim, the Spell Caster civilization still held the upper hand.

The only thing to worry about was the two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe. This time, the Rock Tribe was desperate. If their Progenitors went berserk, it would have a disastrous impact on the Spell Caster civilization.

"We have Arcane Wizard Augustus! The entire Augustus Arcane City has also been mobilized. Hmph, this time, we'll let the Rock Tribe suffer so much that they'll never have the thought to compete with our Spell Caster civilization ever again."

At the mention of Arcane Wizard Augustus, the six Great Lords all sighed in relief. Augustus was the number one contender in the Spell Caster civilization as well as an ultimate existence that intimidated the God Alliance.

With Augustus, the situation should still be under control even if there were two Rock Tribe Progenitors.

However, only the Three Great Arcane Wizards were a little lucky. Fortunately, due to a twist of fate, they had previously joined forces to injure the Lord God of Light, causing the Lord God of Light to need a thousand years to recuperate.

Otherwise, the Lord God of Light would interfere with this crisis. Once Augustus had left, the God Alliance would stir under the Lord God of Light's influence.

At that time, the Spell Caster civilization would be attacked from three sides. The situation would become extremely dangerous.

That was the fortune of misfortune but this crisis with the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization had to be resolved within one thousand years. Otherwise, there would be trouble when the Lord God of Light awoken.

There were some things that Arcane Wizard Setoh naturally did not mention, lest it influenced them badly.

"Boom."

Finally, the six large ships gradually stopped. They had arrived at the place where the last war with the Rock Tribe took place.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

The ship opened, and countless Legendary Wizards immediately got off the ship. Merlin also left the ship with Legend Zado, and stood quietly in the Void Zone.

He swept his Mind Power and was somewhat surprised. The Spell Casters from Setoh Arcane City were many more than before. This time, they were going all out. There were six Great Lords, thirty-six Honored Legends, and more than five hundred Legendary Wizards.

This was the strongest force that Setoh Arcane City could muster!

Moreover, this time, there was no one below Legend level. They were all above Legend level. This also showed the mindset of the Spell Caster civilization. Once the battle began, it would be a severe civilization war. They would have to viciously attack the Rock Tribe and completely suppress them.

Even if they could not destroy the Rock Tribe, they had to inflict heavy losses on them, so much so that they would not be able to recover even after ten thousand years.

Chapter 753: Two Progenitors!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The wind howled. There was no space, no time, and no vitality in the Void Zone. However now, there was a faint storm brewing. It was a storm of Maxims!

More than five hundred Legendary Wizards coupled with thirty-six Honored Legends, and six Great Lords led by Arcane Wizard Setoh. A force like that was enough to wipe out several weak civilizations.

However, they were currently facing the Rock Tribe, which was not a weak civilization!

"Hanra, in the previous civilization war, your Rock Tribe suffered disastrous loses. I didn't want to suffer more losses as well so I didn't continue to pursue you. However, your Rock Tribe didn't learn their lesson and provoked my Spell Caster civilization again. Very well, this time, your Rock Tribe won't be as lucky."

Arcane Wizard Setoh looked at the empty Void Zone in front of him. There were still some dilapidated dimensions which were deserted due to the previous civilization war.

He knew that the Rock Creatures must be nearby. After all, they were already very close to the Rock Tribe. The other party would not remain indifferent.

After a moment, terrifying forces suddenly appeared, and Progenitor's Bodies emerged one after another out of the empty Void Zone.

However, the Rock Tribe Progenitor Hanra was not present among them.

"Is that all?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh frowned. The Rock Tribe could only have prepared just this amount of forces. However, in any case, he was determined to crush the Rock Tribe completely so they would never have any thought of causing trouble ever again.

Therefore, Arcane Wizard Setoh waved a hand and said, "Kill. All Spell Casters, heed my orders. As long as you encounter a Rock Tribe dimension, destroy it completely. Leave no one alive!"

This was an attempt to destroy the foundation of the Rock Tribe civilization. In the previous civilization war, they did not damage the foundation of the Rock Tribe, and Arcane Wizard Setoh did not destroy any Rock Tribe dimension either.

However, it was not the same this time. Now, the Rock Tribe had joined forces with the Atlan civilization to destroy the Spell Caster civilization. As a result, Arcane Wizard Setoh no longer had to be courteous, and ordered the destruction of the Rock Tribe dimensions.

Besides, those dimensions were of no use to Spell Casters after being transformed by the Rock Tribe.

In the Void Zone, destroying a dimension was a fatal blow to any civilization. If there were no more dimensions, no matter how powerful a civilization was, it would rapidly decline.

The dimensions were the foundation!

"Haha, Merlin, let's go. What a crazy war this is. Perhaps in this war between life and death, I'll find my opportunity!"

There were no traces of fear on Legend Zado's face. Instead, he appeared very excited. He needed an opportunity to form an ultimate Maxim, and it was the easiest to find an opportunity while between life and death.

Besides Legend Zado, although the other Legendary Wizards also looked solemn, they did not have any fear. They were all outstanding Legendary Wizards and were the backbone of the Spell Caster civilization. The Spell Caster civilization could rapidly rise in a short period of only three thousand years, and many Legendary Wizards had already participated in brutal civilization wars.

Even if they had not participated in one before, those who newly became Legends would have been influenced too, and fought with foreign tribes before. Therefore, the Spell Caster civilization had been constantly fighting battles since it had entered the Void Zone. Spell Casters never became fearful of battles.

"Boom."

The Spell Caster moved but in a very methodical way. The six Great Lords moved individually while the five hundred or so Legends were assigned to the thirty-six Honored Legends.

Each Honored Legend led at least fourteen ordinary Legends, forming a total of thirty-six powerful teams. The teams did not need to use any Runic Magic Circles either since they were Legends who had already formed Maxims. Therefore, the fourteen ordinary Legends only needed to release their Maxims under the Honored Legend's orders which immediately burst into terrifying power.

Thirty-six teams marched toward the Rock Tribe dimensions in front of them. There were some Progenitor's Bodies that appeared before them but those could not resist the thirty-six teams at all.

After all, no matter how powerful a Progenitor's Body was, it would only be comparable to an Honored Legend. However, each team was led by an Honored Legend. They were far superior to ordinary Honored Legends, and were right below Lords.

Once the Spell Caster civilization took action and the Spell Casters above Legend gathered, the Rock Tribe would have no advantage at all. However, the Spell Caster civilization would not do that unless necessary. After all, once dimensions were destroyed, it became an extermination war. Wars like that were much crueler than civilization wars.

"Crack crack."

Progenitor's Bodies were defeated one by one, and the thirty-six teams soon pushed into the Rock Tribe dimensions. Those dimensions were completely devoid of any life force. They looked like dead dimensions.

This was a typical feature of the Rock Tribe. Rock Creatures did not have any life force. They were different from Spell Casters, the Giant Tribe, the Tree Tribe, and so on. They were not a living tribe at all.

Therefore, the reputation of the Rock Tribe among these civilizations was not good. They were suppressed by the Spell Caster civilization, and were not strong, so their influence in the Void Zone was very limited.

However, a unique civilization like this had produced two ultimate existences. Although neither were extremely strong, it ensured the existence of the Rock Tribe civilization. Although the Spell Caster civilization had severely suppressed the Rock Tribe civilization, it had never started an extermination war because of the existence of those two ultimate existences.

However, now, it did not matter anymore.

"Rumble."

As the dimensions were destroyed, the terrifying resentment of the Rock Creatures rose. In those dimensions lived countless Rock Creatures but in the face of those thirty-six Spell Casters, there was no resistance at all.

In the depths of the Rock Tribe forces, two figures quietly stood in the void. They watched as their dimensions were destroyed one by one by the Spell Casters, their expressions incredibly dark.

"Hanra, go ahead. Even if we contacted the Atlan civilization, we can't let our losses grow too large. These dimensions are our foundation!"

Another figure said in a low voice.

"It's indeed time to act… They've gone deep enough. However, we need to pin down at least two Arcane Wizards to be safe, not just Setoh."

Progenitor Hanra also hesitated. They seemed to be brewing a plot, so they did not move even after seeing their dimensions getting destroyed. After all, a dimension was the foundation of a civilization. If dimensions were destroyed, even if there were ultimate existences, it would be meaningless.

"It doesn't matter. With both of our strengths, we'll be able to directly wipe out many Spell Casters if we act. Humph, I don't think that Setoh would be able to stop us. As long as he can't restrain us, the other two Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization would act as well, and no matter who acts, our goal would be achieved!"

The other figure was the other mysterious Progenitor of the Rock Tribe, whom the outside world only knew as Zenmo. He was a very mysterious Progenitor, and those who had seen Progenitor Zenmo before were few and far in between.

"Alright, we'll proceed as planned!"

Hanra looked at the destroyed dimensions and hatred filled his heart. His figure flickered, and he disappeared without a trace.The thirty-six Legendary teams had destroyed the Rock Tribe dimensions as easily as breaking a dead branch from a tree.

There were much lesser Rock Tribe dimensions compared to the amount Spell Casters. In this short period, the Rock Tribe had already suffered disastrous losses. However, the Rock Tribe Progenitors had not arrived yet.

"What's going on?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh was also suspicious. Suddenly, a terrifying figure appeared, bringing destructive power that instantly enveloped the thirty-six teams.

At that moment, it seemed that the Maxims that blanketed the sky would be crushed under the pressure of the horrifying might. This was the power of the natural order that overruled any other power!

"He's here!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's eyes sharpened. He took a step forward, and waved his hand. A huge shield appeared above the heads of the thirty-six Legendary teams.

"Boom."

The Void Zone seemed to shake when the terrifying forces collided. This was a collision of the power of the natural force. The Void Zone could not withstand such strength.

"Hanra, you're finally here!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's gaze was sharp as he glared at the familiar figure in the distance. It was Progenitor Hanra, who he had fought hand to hand during the previous civilization war.

"Setoh, I'm not alone this time. Zenmo, do it!"

The next moment, another figure, carrying terrifying power, shrouded the thirty-six Legendary teams.

"Two Progenitors?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's expression paled slightly. He was helpless against two ultimate existences. He was the weakest among the Three Great Arcane Wizards. Holding back one Progenitor was already his limit.

As a result, he watched Progenitor Zenmo's power charge toward the thirty-six Legendary teams but he could not do anything about it.

Instantly, all the Spell Casters of the thirty-six teams felt incredibly small. In front of such horrible strength, the powers of all their Maxims were of no effect at all.

Merlin tried his best to keep his cool but he was unable to truly calm down. In the face of life and death, no one could remain calm.

"The power of the natural order…"

This kind of power was enough to make anyone despair. It was why ultimate existences were above all others.

"Bang."

The terrible power of the natural order descended and produced a muffled sound. Merlin and the others looked up and found that at some point, an unfamiliar figure appeared above them.

That figure gently raised a finger and blocked Progenitor Zenmo's attack.

"Wizard Augustus?"

Merlin recognized the number one contender of the Spell Caster civilization at a glance but he did not expect that Augustus was hiding in the surroundings the entire time. Perhaps this was the result of the discussion between the Three Great Arcane Wizards.

Chapter 754: Augustus!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Augustus had a towering spell body. His descend was surrounded by rows of flames. These flames were even more formidable than a Fire-type ultimate Maxim.

This was the power of the natural order!

Merlin was not too well-versed about the differences between the ultimate existences but he knew that there must be some differences. Otherwise, Augustus would not be classified as the number one contender among the three great Arcane Wizards.

Currently, watching Augustus appearing in a column of blazing flames, Merlin also noticed the subtle difference between him and Arcane Wizard Setoh and the Rock Tribe Progenitors. It seemed that Augustus had grasped the power of the natural order adeptly, and was able to integrate his body into the natural order.

These flames belonged to Augustus' ultimate Maxim but they had exceeded the power of an ultimate Maxim and contained traces of the natural order aura.

Upon seeing Augustus' descend, Hanra and Zenmo's expression dropped imperceptibly. They were very well aware of Augustus' formidable strength. In fact, even the God Alliance was wary of Augustus.

"Augustus, you're finally here. Nevertheless, this is an extermination war. It won't be easy for the Spell Caster civilization to exterminate the Rock Tribe!"

Progenitor Zenmo and Progenitor Hanra both stood together in the air in direct confrontation of Arcane Wizard Augustus and Arcane Wizard Setoh. The power of the natural order revolved around the latter two.

"Huh?"

Augustus frowned. Although the ultimate existences controlled the power of the natural order and had different gaps in power, without an absolute advantage, it would be impossible to exterminate any tribe.

While he was more powerful than Progenitors Zenmo and Hanra, their joint forces would be troublesome for him to handle. Thus, Arcane Wizard Setoh was essential.

Previously, they also had a similar discussion. Compared to a civilization war, an extermination war was much more brutal. Since the Rock Tribe had been provoking the Spell Caster civilization again and again, they could no longer be forgiven!

In the Spell Caster civilization, the three great Arcane Wizards each held down different forts. For example, Arcane Wizard Ceci stood guard against the Atlan civilization. He even moved Ceci Arcane City near the Altan Dimension to intimidate the Altan civilization and prevent them from leaving the Atlan Dimension at all cost.

As the most powerful Arcane Wizard and the symbol of motivation among the Spell Caster civilization, Augustus was tasked with guarding against the biggest threat to the Spell Caster civilization – the God Alliance. Hence, his direct opponent was one of the eight largest god organizations that constituted the God Alliance, the Light God Organization.

The last time outside the Glorious Land, the three Arcane Wizards had joined forces and injured the Lord God of Light severe enough to put him out of action for a thousand years. Hence, Augustus was able to spare some time and boldly join forces with Arcane Wizard Setoh to get rid of the Rock Tribe.

However, Augustus still felt that something was not right. Looking at the likes of Progenitors Zenmo and Hanra, who seemed ready to fight to their dying breath, and even dared to join forces with the Atlan civilization, how could they be so unprepared?

This was because, right now, the Rock Tribe was obviously at a disadvantage.

"Augustus, it's time to attack. No matter what, we cannot allow Zenmo and Hanra to escape. Otherwise, if they go to Ceci Arcane City and engage Ceci and open the seal put on the Atlan civilization, we'll be in trouble."

Arcane Wizard Setoh's logic was faultless. Now that the two Arcane Wizards had arrived at the front line, they absolutely could not allow Zenmo and Hanra to escape.

"That's right. Both of us will trap Zenmo and Hanra. I've also brought along some of the Lords and Legends of Augustus Arcane City. They'll join forces with Setoh Arcane City to wipe out the Rock Tribe. Hmph, since this has deteriorated into an extermination war, we have nothing to fear anymore. Destroy the Rock Tribe's foundation!"

A stern look flashed across Augustus' eyes. Last time, they were cautious of the two ultimate existences – Zenmo and Hanra – therefore did not pressure the Rock Tribe too harshly.

However, this time, the Rock Tribe had secretly established contact with the Atlan civilization. Obviously, they were attempting to destroy the Spell Caster civilization entirely. No matter what, the three great Arcane Wizards would not tolerate it any longer.

Thus, no matter how big the price, they must severely punish or even wipe out the Rock Tribe civilization!

"All Spell Casters, kill!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice resounded clearly in every Spell Caster's ear. Immediately, the thirty-six Legend Squads and the Legends led by Augustus, all swarmed relentlessly toward the Rock Tribe dimension.

This time, the Rock Tribe seemed prepared. Most of their strong contenders got into formation, and there were even existences comparable to the Lords. Regardless, by comparison of sheer numbers, they could not outnumber the joint force between Setoh Arcane City and Augustus Arcane City.

Hence, right at the beginning of the confrontation, the Rock Tribe was already suffering a disadvantage.

"Damn it, we must hold on. This time, our losses will be massive but it's too late to regret our decision. We don't have any escape routes. I hope that the Atlan civilization's plan will work. Otherwise, we'll be the first ones to lose!"

Seeing dimensions getting destroyed one after another, Zenmo and Hanra's faces turned sallow and their expressions turned ashen. Under their leadership, the Rock Tribe had overcome various obstacles to grow to such a powerful extent. If not for the fact that the Spell Caster civilization was blocking their way forward, they also did not want to provoke them.

However, right now, they had no other choice!

For some time, the two Progenitors and two Arcane Wizards wielded their respective Maxims and battled one another. The entire Void Zone tremored dangerously and was accompanied by the sounds of multiple dimensions exploding. The two Progenitors were getting more anxious as time passed.

They were tightly suppressed by Arcane Wizards Augustus and Setoh. If it was Ceci who came, then they might still have a trick or two up their sleeves, but in the end, it was Augustus who had shown up. Whether it was in terms of controlling the natural order or utilizing different tactics of the natural order, Augustus was slightly superior to both.

Therefore, the two Progenitors found themselves on the losing end.

Similarly, the outlook of the Rock Tribe was quite unfavorable.

Merlin was leading a squad of fourteen ordinary Legends. Their performance was not excessively eye-catching but wherever his squad went, none of the Rock Creatures could withstand them.

Initially, the fourteen ordinary Legends in Merlin squad had some doubts about him but right now, they had vanquished their doubt. All that was left was complete admiration.

They were the only ones who knew that whenever they encountered an existence comparable to an Honored Legend, Merlin would wield a unique technique called Mind Suppression.

Subsequently, Maxim Chains would fly out and swiftly restraint the opponent, allowing the fourteen ordinary Legends to release their killing blows. The entire battle process was very easy and effective.

One after another, they had destroyed countless dimensions, and powerful Rock Creatures died under their Maxims. It was at this moment that many strong contenders among the Rock Tribe realized how terrifying the civilization they were confronting was.

In just a short span of three thousand over years, the Spell Caster civilization rose up to become an outstanding force. Their biggest advantage was the short cultivation time required by the strong contenders. Every hundred years or so, a large batch of Legendary existence would be born. Occasionally, even an Honored Legend would appear.

Owing to the formidable abilities of the Legends and above, the Spell Caster civilization was considered fearsome. Besides the Atlan civilization that could create an infinite number of above-Legend existences, no other foreign tribe civilizations could measure up to the Spell Caster civilization.

In the previous civilization war, the Rock Tribe did not sustain any heavy damage but merely returned with defeat. In addition, it looked like they had some foothold to win. As a result, many of the Rock Creatures imagined that if Progenitor Zenmo had dispatched more powerful Rock Creatures, the civilization war might have ended differently.

Right now, however, they witnessed the Spell Caster civilization destroying multiple Rock Tribe dimensions with ease. Moreover, dozens of Rock Creatures comparable to Honored Legends had died.

They were rudely awakened. How massive was the gap between them and the Spell Caster civilization?

This large-scale extermination war had just begun but the outcome seemed to be apparent. Almost half of the Rock Tribe's dimensions had been destroyed. Even the two Progenitors seemed short of breath as they were tightly trapped by Arcane Wizards Augustus and Setoh.

"Two days… We've been holding on for two days. There's just one day left. If the Atlan civilization still doesn't appear, we'll withdraw ourselves, seal the dimension and reconcile with the Spell Caster civilization!"

Progenitors Zenmo and Hanra said through gritted teeth. They had made up their minds to pay the utmost price. Their goal was to keep Arcane Wizards Augustus and Setoh occupied.

Currently, their goal had been accomplished but for that, they had to pay a painful price! However, this price was not in vain. They were waiting for a miracle to occur…In the vast Void Zone, Ceci Arcane City of the three great Arcane Cities was situated in a relatively remote area.

If Augustus was said to be the most powerful among the three great Arcane Wizards and was the spiritual symbol of the Spell Caster civilization, then Ceci was the most silent and most mysterious Arcane Wizard.

Even many powerful Lords had never met Arcane Wizard Ceci 1 .

The reason was simple. Arcane Wizard Ceci continuously stood guard in Ceci Arcane City against the Atlan civilization. Other than some very exceptional circumstances, Arcane Wizard Ceci would not leave Ceci Arcane City.

Although the Spell Caster civilization was embroiled in a brutal extermination war, Arcane Wizard Ceci still stood guard in Ceci Arcane City.

At the same time, Ceci Arcane City seemed to be relatively free from the pressing threat of the extermination war. As usual, he stayed in Ceci Arcane City, and occasionally patrolled near the seal.

Not too far away from Ceci Arcane City, there was an incredibly behemoth dimension. Back then, when the Spell Caster civilization first saw this dimension, they were ecstatic. They thought that this would become the eternal foundation of the Spell Caster civilization.

Until one day, the three great Arcane Wizards joined forces to open this dimension and attracted a ruthless war that no Spell Caster was willing to face.

The Atlan Dimension – in this dimension was the mysterious yet tough Atlan civilization. Currently, this dimension had been resealed by the three great Arcane Wizards with the power of the natural order.

However, this seal was not completely impenetrable. It was extremely difficult to break from the inside but from the outside, all that was needed was a massive force which contained the power of the natural order. With that, the seal would naturally weaken, and the Atlan civilization on the inside would be able to break open the seal and step into the Void Zone once again.

Therefore, Arcane Wizard Ceci's gaze was always trained on the seal of the Atlan Dimension.

"Whiz."

At this moment, a huge figure wrapped in dazzling holy light emerged from the Void Zone.

"The Atlan Dimension?"

This great existence wrapped in holy light looked at the incredibly behemoth dimension with a shocked expression. Although he had heard of the Atlan civilization and knew that they were born in a huge dimension, hearing it and seeing it with his eyes was two different things. Such a behemoth dimension could cause anyone to stumble.

"Such a huge dimension. Fortunately, the Spell Casters didn't obtain it. Hehe, the last time, you were lucky to drive the Atlans back to their dimension. What about this time?"

The mysterious figure revealed a hint of maliciousness in his voice.

Chapter 755: Breaking the Seal!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The behemoth Atlan Dimension appeared peaceful as usual. Despite there had not been any problem from the Atlan Dimension for a long time, the security over this dimension remained extremely stringent.

At least, there would always be a few Honored Legends monitoring it. They dared not let down their guard. For the past hundreds and thousands of years, they remained vigilant.

"Did you hear? Our Spell Caster civilization started a large-scale battle with the Rock Tribe civilization. This is going to be an extermination war. Even the great Wizard Augustus has gone on the offensive. With the joint forces of Setoh Arcane City and Augustus Arcane City, I'm sure they'll crush the Rock Tribe to smithereens."

"According to rumors, it seems like an oversight on our part. I heard that the Rock Tribe managed to slip into the Atlan Dimension and established contact. Then again, the Atlan Dimension has been guarded by us, and the seal is still intact. How did the Rock Tribe manage to enter?"

These were the Great Legends who stood watch over the Atlan Dimension. They truly did not comprehend how did the Rock Tribe manage to enter the Atlan Dimension under their stringent guard.

Perhaps, the Rock Tribe did not enter the Atlan Dimension but instead, the Atlans used some special trick to allow someone to leave the Atlan Dimension and enter the Void Zone, who then established contact with the Rock Tribe?

Regardless of who was the instigator, the extermination war between the Spell Caster civilization and the Rock Tribe civilization stemmed from the Atlan civilization. Hence, these Legendary Wizards who were tasked with guarding the Atlan Dimension dared not lower their guard for a single moment.

All of them were Legendary Wizards who had experienced the first war against the Atlan civilization. Naturally, they knew how terrifying the Atlan civilization was. If the Atlans broke the seal and charged out of the Atlan Dimension, then the entire Spell Caster civilization would be facing an unimaginable disaster.

"Hum."

Not too far away from these Legendary Wizards, a holy light appeared out of nowhere. The holy aura was not at all furtive, so the Legendary Wizards immediately noticed it.

"Is it divine energy? Who is it?"

These Legendary Wizards immediately sat up straight. Their Mind Power swept out and saw a figure emerging from the holy light. His body contained endless authority.

"A god? This is bad, quickly inform Arcane Wizard Ceci…"

Upon seeing this holy light, the Honored Legends were astounded. This was the aura of divine energy. A god had descended. The relations between the God Alliance and the Spell Caster civilization had never been favorable. They were sworn enemies since the beginning of time. If not for Augustus keeping guard over them, some gods of the God Alliance might be tempted to strike.

"Purify."

Before these few Honored Legends could deliver the message, the figure amid the holy light gently waved his hand. A ray of holy light shrouded the Honored Legends. Despite them being respected Honored Legends who had consolidated ultimate Maxims, underneath this blanket of holy light, their ultimate Maxims shattered instantly.

A few Honored Legends died in the blink of an eye!

"The Atlan Dimension."

The mysterious figure looked at the huge dimension before his eyes. There was the unmistakable seal of the three great Arcane Wizards above it.

"The Spell Caster civilization, the war begins. Haha…"

The mysterious figure emitted a rich holy light. The next moment, it transformed into an earth-shattering impact that landed heavily on the seal of the Atlan Dimension.

Immediately, water-like ripples appeared on the surface of the seal and spread outward rapidly. However, this force was simply too tremendous to be borne. The seal over the entire dimension began to crack, and an anomalous aura began to leak out of those cracks.

In Ceci Arcane City, Arcane Wizard Ceci's eyes shot open. His face paled drastically as he let out a low growl. "Lord God of Light? How could it be the Lord God of Light?"

Arcane Wizard Ceci took a giant leap and disappeared without a trace.

"Swish."

Arcane Wizard Ceci mobilized the power of the natural order, and arrived at the Atlan Dimension almost instantly. However, he glanced at the Atlan Dimension and saw that the seal had been loosened. He would not be able to replace the seal by himself.

Furthermore, there was an ultimate existence before him – the Lord God of Light wrapped in holy light!

"Lord God of Light, you were injured by the three great Arcane Wizards. You should be hibernating for at least a thousand years. How can you appear here?"

The three great Arcane Wizards, including Arcane Wizard Ceci, had already made plans for the worst-case scenario. The combination between the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization would not be rudimentary.

Therefore, Arcane Wizard Ceci remained in Ceci Arcane City. The reason was to guard against any possibility.

However, he did not expect that the Lord God of Light, which was not even considered as a possibility, would be involved. Nevertheless, he was now standing in front of Ceci, and had broken the seal over the Atlan Dimension.

"Yes, hibernate for a thousand years… Initially, I also thought that I'll be hibernating for a thousand years. However, your old rival has awakened!"

Recalling the scene back then, the Lord God of Light revealed a gush of enthusiasm in his eyes.

That scene was forever embedded in his mind. Back then, he was gravely injured. While he was hibernating, a Rock Tribe Progenitor and a mysterious person appeared in his Light Dimension.

Moreover, the mysterious person also retrieved a strand of divinity. If it was an ordinary strand of divinity, it would have been useless. As the Lord God of Light who founded a god organization, even the divinity of an upper rank god did not affect him.

However, the divinity held by this mysterious person was the divinity of a Lord God!

The Lord God of Light was extremely astonished. Among the eight largest god organizations, he did not hear of any Lord God who was killed. In addition, to reap the divinity of a Lord God, how confounding was such an event? How could he not hear about it at all?

Nevertheless, that was the truth. It was truly a Lord God's divinity. With this strand of divinity, the Lord God of Light's injury was no longer an issue, and he recovered soon enough.

However, before they left, the Rock Tribe Progenitor and the mysterious person had discussed with the Lord God of Light. If the Lord God of Light could break the seal over the Atlan Dimension and waited until the Atlan civilization charged out of the Atlan Dimension, then more Lord God divinity would be given to him as a reward.

For the Lord God of Light, this was an irresistible temptation. A Lord God's divinity was incredibly rare! In addition, the Spell Caster civilization was already a thorn in his flesh. If not for the disunity between the God Alliance and the willfulness of the eight largest god organizations, he would have attacked the Spell Caster civilization long ago.

Hence, this was an opportunity for him. With the combination of the Rock Tribe, the Atlan civilization, and the Lord God of Light, they would indeed occupy an advantage.

The only thing that puzzled the Lord God of Light was how did the Atlan Dimension obtain a Lord God's divinity? Furthermore, it seemed like there was not just a little bit but a lot more.

Was there a Lord God in the Atlan Dimension?

However, this thought was shot down by the Lord God of Light immediately. If the Atlan civilization could kill a Lord God, why would they be trapped in the Atlan Dimension by the Spell Caster civilization indefinitely?

All of these, the Lord God of Light did not have to hide or rather, the Spell Caster civilization that had suppressed the Atlan Dimension for thousands of years probably knew the true abilities of the Atlan civilization better than him.

"Ceci, doesn't the Spell Caster civilization know how fearful is the Atlan civilization? I'm really curious, what other secrets are contained in the Atlan Dimension? They possess a Lord God's divinity. With this divinity, my injury is nothing but a scratch! Haha, now that the seal over the Atlan Dimension has loosened, and the Lord God Organization will be going all out, the Spell Caster civilization will be fighting a three-sided war! What more can you do?"

The Lord God of Light was gleeful. This was a plan that had been secretly hatched by the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization for a long time. It was utterly perfect as they had considered any change.

Therefore, no matter how they planned it, the three sides would gain the upper hand. The only variable was the seal over the Atlan Dimension. The two Rock Tribe Progenitors must keep the two Arcane Wizards occupied. Only this way, the Lord God of Light would succeed.

Right now, the seal was beginning to loosen. Their plans had succeeded!

"The Atlan civilization and the Rock Tribe…"

Arcane Wizard Ceci now understood what had happened. Somehow, the Atlan civilization had found a way to leave the Atlan Dimension. Perhaps, only a small number of people could leave, and they must have paid a huge price. After all, the seal of three great Arcane Wizards was not just a pretty display.

Nonetheless, this small number was already enough considering the cunningness of the Atlan civilization. Moreover, the Spell Caster civilization was surrounded by its enemies – whether it was the Lord God of Light or the Rock Tribe where both were situated near to the Spell Caster civilization. This time, the Spell Caster civilization was caught in a crisis!

"There's still a chance, seal!"

Arcane Wizard Ceci roared mightily and the entire Arcane City shook. The power of the natural order began to surge and headed directly toward the seal over the Atlan Dimension.

"Hehe, do you think it'll be so simple? My role is to contain you. Even if the Atlan civilization breaks out of the seal, you won't be able to stop them!"

The Lord God of Light sneered. Then he wielded the power of the natural order to block Arcane Wizard Ceci. Both their abilities were similarly matched, so with the Lord God of Light obstructing him, Arcane Wizard Ceci could not reinforce the seal.

Meanwhile, the Atlan Dimension seemed to be moving. Since they were involved in the discussion, the Atlan civilization must have been prepared. From the moment the seal was loosened, they began to attack it frantically.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the residual seal over the Altan Dimension vibrated violently. From the inside, a terrifying aura wafted out, almost like an imitation of an ultimate existence.

However, it was not as petrifying as an ultimate existence who could mobilize the power of the natural order.

Instead, it was a huge white light that contained inconceivable destructive powers. Even a powerful Lord who saw this light would probably find themselves at wit's end.

Under the bombardment of this huge ray of light, the loosened seal finally shattered into pieces. From inside the Atlan Dimension, a gigantic, pitch-black warship emerged, exuding a chilling aura.

The Atlan Dimension had finally charged out of their dimension!

Chapter 756: The War of Destiny!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This black warship was not the same as the empire-level warship Merlin possessed. Even a Great Lord would pale significantly at the sight of this warship.

This was because it was a dimension-level warship!

The Altan civilization excelled at building warships. Each warship was equivalent to an entire civilization. A single warship could pass down its legacy independently.

Warships were classified into city-level, empire-level, and dimension-level. There were rumors about a void-level warship as well but the Atlan civilization had never been able to build it.

City-level warships were comparable to ordinary Legends whereas empire-level warships could annihilate Honored Legends. As for dimension-level warships, they were feared even by the Great Lords.

Other than the ultimate existences, the Atlan civilization's dimension-level warship was nearly invincible.

Right now, this was a dimension-level warship, and also the most powerful warship to date. Otherwise, they would not have been able to break open the loosened seal.

Behind the dimension-level warship, more warships began to pour out of the dimension. Soon, they occupied the entrance of the dimension, and filled the entire Void Zone.

The Lord God of Light stood in front of the Atlan Dimension. With a malicious glint in his eyes, he spoke, "Ceci, the glorious days of the Spell Caster civilization is over. Faced against the Atlan civilization, do you think the Spell Casters can still prevail?"

Indeed, the only ace of the Spell Caster civilization was the three great Ultimate Arcane Wizards. However, the three great Ultimate Arcane Wizards were currently occupied, and could not subjugate the Atlan civilization. A thousand years ago, the Spell Caster civilization already tasted the fearsome prowess of the Atlan civilization's warships. That was a brutal war which left a deep impression on every Legendary Wizard. They would not be able to stop the Atlan civilization with just Ceci Arcane City.

Thinking along these lines, Arcane Wizard Ceci immediately made a judgment call. He lamented into the air, "The Atlan civilization has broken through the seal. A brutal war is upon us… This is the most critical moment for the Spell Caster civilization. The three great Arcane Cities cannot suffer any more loss. Retreat, retreat immediately. Rendezvous with Augustus and Setoh!"

Currently, the only thing Arcane Wizard Ceci could do was preserve the strength of the Spell Caster civilization and rendezvous with Augustus and Setoh. They would have to assemble the entire Spell Caster civilization together with the three great Arcane Cities to face this crisis."Boom."

Another Rock Tribe dimension exploded. The Rock Tribe had already lost more than half their dimensions. This was never seen before loss. The Rock Tribe was in a precarious situation.

Once all the Rock Tribe dimensions were destroyed, even if the two Progenitors did not die, there would not be any Rock Tribe civilization left in the Void Zone. The two Progenitors would be alone.

"No, we can't continue any longer… Quickly go and ask, has the Lord God of Light and the Atlan civilization succeeded?"

Currently, Progenitor Zenmo's eyes were bloodshot. He could no longer endure such a large scale of destruction. Although this was a collaboration between the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe, and Light God Organization, the truth was, the Rock Tribe suffered the most damage.

"Boom."

Suddenly, a huge dimension popped into the peaceful Void Zone. Any familiar Spell Caster would realize that it was the mysterious Ceci Arcane City.

"Ceci? Why is he here?"

"Isn't Ceci standing guard over the Atlan Dimension? What had happened that he even moved Ceci Arcane City all the way here?"

Seeing Ceci Arcane City's appearance in the Void Zone stunned Augustus and Setoh. Both were more than enough to handle the Rock Tribe hence it was not necessary for Arcane Wizard Ceci to come.

So, Ceci's appearance must not be accompanied by stellar news.

"Swish."

Arcane Wizard Ceci arrived beside Augustus and Setoh. He shook his head in despair. "Retreat now. The Atlan civilization has charged past the seal and will be arriving soon. The three great Arcane Cities need to join forces!"

"What? How did the Atlan civilization manage to break open the dimension seal? With their abilities, this is impossible. Ceci, what happened?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh asked, flustered. Currently, their war against the Rock Tribe was smooth-sailing. They had severely damaged the Rock Tribe. Retreating now would be too beneficial for the Rock Tribe.

"The Lord God of Light, he's awakened!"

"The Lord God of Light?"

Augustus and Setoh did not expect that their close brush with victory was obstructed by the Lord God of Light, of all beings. Subsequently, Ceci repeated everything he knew to them.

Even at this moment, they could hardly believe it. How would the Atlan civilization obtain a Lord God's divinity?

Without the Lord God of Light, the Atlan civilization would not be able to break open the seal. Now, the Atlan civilization had returned to the Void Zone. No one had forgotten the brutal war that had transpired a thousand years ago. All of them deeply understood the horror that could be unleashed by the Atlan civilization.

"Very well, we'll retreat. If my speculation is correct, the gods of the Light God Organization would also be attacking the Spell Caster civilization with frenzy. Give up! We'll give up on the numerous dimensions of the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe, and Light God Organization, and assemble the three great Arcane Cities. This is the most critical moment faced by the Spell Caster civilization since we've stepped into the Void Zone!"

Finally, the number one contender of the Spell Caster civilization, Augustus had decided. Faced with a three-sided war, the Spell Caster civilization had already lost half the war. They were being attacked on all sides. All they could do now was gather their strength. Perhaps, there would still be a trace of hope.

Hence, on the orders of the three great Arcane Wizards, all the Legendary Wizards retreated.Three months later, the three great Arcane Cities had been assembled. Almost two-thirds of the dimensions belonging to the Spell Caster civilization had been abandoned. All the Spell Casters stood guard around the three dimensions that housed the three great Arcane Cities.

This was the center of the Spell Caster civilization as well as its strongest power!

Merlin stayed in Setoh Arcane City. Every day, all sorts of war news would break out. He could see that the situation was worsening. The Atlan civilization, Light God Organization, and the Rock Tribe had completely joined forces. They were unstoppable on every level. The ordinary Spell Casters were completely unable to withstand.

"The key is the Atlan civilization!"

Merlin glanced at the Atlan civilization's empire-level warship in his ring. He clearly understood the true fear contained in this empire-level warship. The martial arts robots it produced were comparable to ordinary Legends.

Currently, he was only lacking the materials to produce more martial arts robots. However, the Atlan civilization had them. Besides, the Atlan civilization also had a more powerful dimension-level warship, which might even be able to product martial arts robots comparable to Honored Legends.

This was the strength of the Atlan civilization. Although producing martial arts robots comparable to Honored Legends came with a myriad of prerequisites, but once all of them were fulfilled and without any disrupting force, the Atlan civilization was almost invincible.

In the thousand years that they were suppressed in the Atlan Dimension, most probably, the Atlan civilization had accumulated countless resources. Moreover, with the protection of two Rock Tribe Progenitors and the Lord God of Light, the Atlan civilization did not have to fear the three great Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization.

Therefore, the Atlan civilization was close to invincible now. On the other hand, the motivation of the Spell Caster civilization had plunged to an all-time low.

"The key lies in the Atlan civilization. As long as their warship stays intact, the Spell Caster civilization has no hope of winning."

The three Arcane Wizards were discussing with the twenty-eight Lords.

These twenty-eight Lords constituted every single Lord of the Spell Caster civilization, and far exceeded the era back in the Molta Empire. If it was just the Rock Tribe or even added with the Light God Organization, the Spell Caster civilization would not be afraid. These twenty-eight Great Lords had absolute confidence.

However, there was now the Atlan civilization. Faced against the dimension-level warships of the Atlan civilization, even these Great Lords were extremely fearful. After all, back when they discovered the Atlan civilization the first time, many Great Lords were killed in that war.

"Everyone, we don't have much time. The Atlan civilization has been preparing for a long time. Although they were kept sealed in the Atlan Dimension, they had been preparing the legendary void-level warship.

"We've only heard rumors about the so-called void-level warship. According to rumors, that's the highest-level warship of the Atlan civilization. Once it's built, it can twist the powers of the natural order, which is almost comparable to the ultimate existences, and could possibly pose a threat to the ultimate existences. If that happens, whether it's the Spell Caster civilization or countless other civilizations, none of us will stand a chance."

Upon this statement, the three great Arcane Wizards quietened. Indeed, there was news from the Atlan civilization that they were currently building the legendary void-level warship. This was a terrifying warship that completely overshadowed the dimension-level warship.

In the Atlan Dimension, resources were limited, so maybe they could not build the void-level warship. However, once they had entered the limitless Void Zone, everything was possible.

"Doesn't the Rock Tribe and the Lord God of Light know the threat posed by the Atlan civilization? If they truly built a void-level warship, could those two stand against them?"

"Hehe, they're currently sheep strutting around in tiger skin 1 . Before the Spell Caster civilization is destroyed, they won't think of anything else."

While the Great Lords and the Arcane Wizards were engaging in discussion, in the frigid and silent Void Zone, fleets of warships, Rock Creatures, and Light Believers encased in holy light were slowly approaching the three great Arcane Cities.

"Boom."

A terrifying ray shot through the Void Zone, illuminating its surrounding dimensions with its massive power of destruction, landed heavily on a dimension.

This was a huge dimension but in the blink of an eye, disintegrated into dust. Millions of Spell Casters died in an instant.

"Swoosh."

The three great Arcane Wizards raised their heads abruptly. The Atlan civilization was announcing their arrival!

"Everyone, there's another way, that's to join forces with other civilizations such as the Tree Tribe civilization, the Giant Tribe civilization, the Feather Tribe civilization, and so on. All of them also have a clash of ideology with the God Alliance and the Rock Tribe civilization. Although we need to join forces with other civilization, now isn't the time as they've arrived. At least, we must show our formidable prowess and stabilize the situation. Only this way, the other civilizations might agree to join forces with us."

Augustus paused, and looked around with a stern expression. Loudly, he declared, "Now, it's time for the Spell Caster civilization to demonstrate its true prowess. No matter what, remember that we already defeated the Atlan civilization once. This time, we can still defeat them again!"

Augustus' tone was assertive. Joining forces with other civilizations was the battle strategy agreed by the three great Arcane Wizards. However, before asking for help, they had to first prove their worth.

To prove the worth of the Spell Caster civilization, they would have to stabilize the situation and not be defeated by the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe civilization, and Lord God Organization in a short time.

Therefore, this war was destined to be unimaginably brutal!

The pitch-black Void Zone was crowded.

There were Rock Creatures, Light Believers, Spell Casters, and the most conspicuous of all, fleets of ice-cold jet-black warships. In terms of numbers, however, the Spell Casters seemed to have the upper hand.

"Rumble."

Suddenly, the doors of the ice-cold jet-black warships opened. From the inside, burly robots with powerful auras surged out. Every robot emitted an aura comparable to an ordinary Legend.

Moreover, on the few larger warships, even more powerful robots emerged. The robots produced by the dimension-level warships were comparable to Honored Legends.

Soon, the space surrounding the confrontation was tightly packed with robots. Seeing these dark martial arts robots before their eyes, all the Spell Casters present could not help but suck in a sharp breath. Such a scene would be forever etched in their minds.

Back when the three great Arcane Wizards accidentally broke open the seal over the Atlan Dimension, a brutal war ensued. Dense formations of robots and fleets of powerful warships fired light cannons mercilessly. Several Lords were killed during that time.

Many had thought that they would not witness such a scene ever again in their lives but unexpectedly, they were back for a second encounter.

Merlin also led a squad. He was observing these Atlan civilization warships. Compared to the empire-level warship he obtained from the Origin Lord, there seemed to be some changes… However, the changes were purely external. He was quite sure that the essence remained unchanged.

As for the martial arts robots, Merlin was extremely familiar with them, especially the martial arts robots produced by the empire-level warships.

The dimension-level warship, on the other hand, was Merlin's first encounter. Currently, in his spatial ring, there was also an empire-level warship. Despite having sufficient energy for the warship, he lacked the necessary materials to manufacture martial arts robots. Thus, he was not able to produce more martial arts robots. All he could produce were ordinary robots.

In this war, the ordinary robots were completely useless.

Furthermore, Merlin did not even consider mobilizing the warship. After all, the Atlan civilization possessed even more warships, and had more understanding of them. Employing an Atlan civilization warship to defeat the Atlan civilization certainly would not end well.

This was unless Merlin's warship outnumbered the Atlan civilization. However, that would be impossible, judging by the dense formation of warships scattered throughout the Void Zone. At the very least, there were a hundred warships, not including those that were still emerging from the Atlan Dimension.

Basically, except for the ultimate existences, the Atlan civilization was the most powerful among them. The only shortfall of the Atlan civilization was that they did not have an ultimate existence.

Nonetheless, with the protection of the two Rock Tribe Progenitors as well as the Lord God of Light, this shortfall was negated.

The three great Arcane Wizards stood quietly in the Void Zone as they surveyed the huge army before them. The number of Rock Creatures dispatched was painfully small as the previous war had already damaged its foundation. All that was left in this war were the two Progenitors and a handful of Lord-level Rock Creatures.

Harming an ultimate existence was incredibly difficult. Even when the three great Arcane Wizards had surrounded and attacked the Lord God of Light, he was only slightly injured.

With three ultimate existences against two, they only had a minimal advantage. Unless all three great Arcane Wizards were as powerful as Augustus, they would not be able to inflict harm on the Rock Tribe.

In addition, there was the Lord God of Light. Hence, the three great Arcane Wizards would be completely engaged. They would have to rely on their many years of experience.

Both sides knew the importance of the first battle. Otherwise, the Spell Caster civilization would not have gathered all its strength.

If the Spell Caster civilization was defeated in this battle, then the Lord God of Light would most probably enlist the help of other god organizations in the God Alliance to eradicate the Spell Caster civilization.

If the Spell Caster civilization managed to gain an upper hand, then it would buy them some precious time to recruit other life-type civilizations to fight the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe, and Light God Organizations.

Hence, this battle was crucial for both sides. There was no room for mistakes.

"Finally, this day had come. The last time we fought the Atlan civilization, I was merely an ordinary Legend. Now, however, I've become a five-Maxim Great Legend!"

Teacher Zado tightened his fist. The five Maxims on his body gradually appeared above his head. One of the Maxims even showed faint signs of near transformation.

Legend Zado did not want the war with the Atlan civilization to break out. However, at this juncture, it was out of his hands. This was not just a civilization war or a tribe war but the most critical war in the history of the Spell Caster civilization, and destined to be the most brutal.

Other than the Legends from the three great Arcane Cities, there was also a special group of Spell Casters. Each of them exuded a powerful aura that converged into sequences of storms in the Void Zone.

These Legendary Wizards were the highly despised plunderers among the Spell Caster civilization. Usually, they plundered dimensions, and killed ordinary Legendary Wizards, so they were despised by many.

Nevertheless, faced with such a critical battle in the civilization war, they still obeyed the commands of the three great Arcane Wizards and fought alongside them. Although the plunderers were despicable, their combat skills were much superior to the ordinary Legends.

Among them, there were also a few Honored Legends and even a Lord!

This Lord was called the Bloodriver Lord. According to rumors, because of the amount of bloodshed and plundering he had committed, all the Maxims he consolidated were blood-red.

He was the only Lord who was born among the plunderers. Nonetheless, Bloodriver Lord was utterly terrifying. He had consolidated a total of four ultimate Maxims, the same number as the Nightmare Lord.

However, even the Nightmare Lord was wary of the Bloodriver Lord.

According to more rumors, every dimension passed through by the Bloodriver Lord was bathed in a sea of crimson light. All those dimensions were left completely lifeless. Hence, very few Wizards were willing to associate with the Bloodriver Lord.

Nevertheless, the Bloodriver Lord was now one of the twenty-eight Lords who had joined the war.

The fact that even the plunderers were conscripted proved that the Spell Caster civilization had truly amassed its maximum strength.

"Haha. Setoh, Augustus, and Ceci. From today onward, the Spell Caster civilization will go down in history as one of the many short-lived civilizations in the Void Zone. The Spell Caster civilization had merely entered the Void Zone for three thousand years. How dare you try to occupy such a vast expanse of dimensions?"

The two Rock Tribe Progenitors sneered. In terms of history, unquestionably, the Spell Casters were the youngest civilization. They had only just stepped foot into the Void Zone three thousand over years ago but had managed to occupy a vast expanse of dimensions, to the point that the Rock Tribe had almost run out of living space.

Throughout the billions and trillions of years in the Void Zone, the Spell Caster civilization was the only one, the most miraculous civilization!

"Is that so? Becoming history? Perhaps, it wouldn't be the Spell Caster civilization that becomes history, but I'm sure, the Rock Tribe will become history!"

A murderous aura flared on Augustus' body. He currently held immense loathing against the Rock Tribe. Nevertheless, even if the three great Arcane Wizards were to jointly attack the two Rock Tribe Progenitors, they would still be able to escape easily.

However, Augustus was decided on one thing. If the Spell Caster civilization survived this threat, then they would annihilate the Rock Tribe civilization, no matter what the cost. Even if they would have to bear the risk of payback from these two Rock Tribe Progenitors, the Rock Tribe civilization had to be annihilated.

"Hum hum hum."

Suddenly, rays of light began to glow on the jet-black warships. All the Spell Casters could almost sense the terrifying power contained within.

The war was starting!

Chapter 758: War Begins

"Boom."

A massive beam shot through the Void Zone. In just the blink of an eye, a stunning flash of light landed before a Spell Caster squad.

No one expected that the Atlans would launch such a sudden attack. Even the three great Arcane Wizards could not react in time. Hence, they could only watch as the light beam slammed violently into one of the Legend Squads.

"Chi."

There were no lucky survivors. The squad consisted of more than a dozen ordinary Legends in addition to an Honored Legend. All of them tried to consolidate their Maxims.

However, they were completely unable to withstand the impact. Under this light beam, they were immediately turned into vapor. Over a dozen Legends were instantly reduced into ashes.

Silence. The entire battlefield was incomparably silent. Seeing that destructive light beam, those Spell Casters who had already known of the fearsome strength of the Atlan civilization were reminded of the brutal war back in the days.

As for the Spell Casters who had never seen the Atlan civilization, they were completely stunned. Over a dozen Legendary Wizards and an Honored Legend were reduced into ashes in a single blow.

By this time, a simultaneous chill rose in everyone's hearts. The Atlan civilization was showing that they were just as powerful as before.

"Atlan civilization, die!"

The first to attack was Augustus. He was the number one contender in the Spell Caster civilization. Once enraged, how much more terrifying would he be? The entire Void Zone tremored, and the endless power of the natural order rained down.

However, the two Rock Tribe Progenitors also wielded their skills to resist Augustus. With the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards at the forefront, the war had finally erupted!

"Kill!"

Maxims filled the sky and headed toward the Rock Tribe, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization warships and robots. In an instant, Maxims permeated every direction. The explosion of power from the Spell Caster civilization was just as petrifying.

"Boom boom boom."

Countless Maxims were wielded consecutively and shredded a large portion of the martial arts robots. However, the Atlan civilization's warships stood far at the back. Beams of destructive power were attacking the Spell Caster squads incessantly.

The twenty-eight Lords were most courageous, and rushed directly toward the fearsome dimension-level warship. After all, these Lords had experienced the last war, so they knew that these warships were the crux of the Atlan civilization.

Before they became Lords, they were Honored Legends or perhaps ordinary Legends. Thus, a thousand year ago, all of them had experienced the war.

To some extent, the Spell Caster civilization was experienced at battling the Atlan civilization. Nevertheless, now, the experience was irrelevant. The most important point right now was power.

The Spell Caster civilization had Lords but at the same time, the Rock Tribe and Light Believers also had existences comparable to the Lords. Though they were fewer in numbers, they immediately went up to resist the Lords of the Spell Caster civilization.

Merlin's squad was also on the move. However, Merlin was carefully observing the Atlan civilization's warships and martial arts robots. He knew very well that it was useless to waste their effort on these robots.

After all, the martial arts robots were produced using precious minerals and energy. With sufficient materials and energy, the production could continue endlessly.

It was the warships that were the crux!

Merlin was very knowledgeable about the city-level warships, empire-level warships, and dimension-level warships. He had obtained a lot of information from his empire-level warship, so it did have some uses.

Therefore, with over a dozen ordinary Legends under his leadership, their conquest proceeded smoothly. Upon encountering the Rock Tribe or Light Believers, even if they were comparable to Honored Legends, the combination of Merlin's Mind Suppression and the power of a dozen ordinary Legends, their opponents were killed in an instant.

"Swish."

Finally, Merlin came before an empire-level warship. This was his first time challenging an empire-level warship controlled by the Atlan civilization.

When he saw that the main cannon of the empire-level warship was beginning to glow, Merlin, who was familiar with this type of warships, immediately knew that it would soon open fire.

"Maxim Chains!"

Merlin's Darkness Maxim immediately transformed into chains. Together with the Maxims of other Legendary Wizards, they tightly restrained the cannon nozzle of this warship.

"Boom."

Nonetheless, the huge cannon of the warship still exploded and ripped apart Merlin's Maxim Chains. Fortunately, the empire-level warship was also only about comparable or slightly more powerful than an Honored Legend, but there was not a substantial gap.

Hence, Merlin and a dozen Legendary Wizards were able to overcome this attack with ease.

"Hallucinate!"

Merlin took a deep breath, and wielded his Hallucinating spell. When his Mind Power extended toward the empire-level warship, he could feel an invisible force blocking his Mind Power.

Nevertheless, this protective layer was not very strong. With Merlin's additional push of Mind Power, he was immediately able to break through this protective layer and entered the warship brazenly.

In the warship, Merlin's Mind Power could see numerous Atlans. Physically, the Atlans were not much different compared to the Spell Casters. They were weaker and did not have any trace of elemental fluctuations on their bodies.

However, each of them had a role to play. Each being operated a section of the empire-level warship, allowing it to possess powers that could vanquish an Honored Legend.

"Hum."

Once Merlin's Mind Power had enveloped the entire place, these Atlans seemed to be unable to put up an ounce of resistance and were entrapped by the illusion.

"Boom."

Since the warship was no longer controlled by anyone, Merlin took this opportunity to wield his Maxim Chains once again. The Maxim Chains slammed heavily onto the empire-level warship and a spine-tingling power was released. However, due to some automatic defensive abilities on the warship, he was only able to strip past the first layer of defense.

Seemingly noticing the distress of this warship, another warship aimed directly at Merlin.

As the other warship was not too far away, Merlin could only retreat temporarily.

"Swish."

Merlin led his men to retreat a distance away. Although they did not manage to destroy a warship, Merlin was still overjoyed because he discovered that his Mind Power could be used against the Atlan civilization's warships.

"Only that defensive layer. Most probably, it can also resist Mind Power."

Merlin did not know whether the Atlans were able to research a method to resist Mind Power attacks, but for now, at least these empire-level warships were unable to resist Merlin's Mind Power attack.

While Merlin was exploring the use of Mind Power, the situation was turning less favorable within the Spell Caster civilization. Another Legend Squad was killed.

On the other hand, the Atlan civilization had not lost a single empire-level warship. They only lost a few city-level warships. Hence, it was not a significant loss for the Atlan civilization.

Fortunately, the Lords of the Spell Caster civilization kept the Atlan civilization's dimension-level warship occupied. Otherwise, these warships could kill an entire Spell Caster squad with a single cannon blast. They were the true Armageddon of the Spell Caster civilization.

Regardless, the Spell Caster civilization was still caught in a bad situation. Under the cover of the martial arts robots from the Atlan civilization, the Rock Tribe and Light Believers were pushing forward bit by bit, and gained the upper hand.

"Whoosh."

At this moment, an empire-level warship glowed brightly again. Merlin looked toward the direction that it was aimed. Sure enough, it was another ordinary Legend Squad.

Merlin was highly familiar with the empire-level warships. Once it began to charge, it must have a target locked down. If it was any other Legend Squad, Merlin would simply give them a forewarning and move on.

However, he saw a familiar silhouette in this Legend Squad that caused his heart to skip a beat.

"Teacher Zado!"

Among this squad was Legend Zado. At the moment, Legend Zado was completely unaware. His squad was battling against two Rock Creatures who were comparable to Honored Legends.

"No…"

Merlin and his squad immediately rushed forward. Still, the charging period of the empire-level warship was over. Any target that was locked down by the giant cannons would not be missed.

At this point, Merlin had no other ideas except using the Hallucinating spell.

"Hallucinate!"

An enormous Mind Power enveloped the empire-level warship, and the Atlans inside were swiftly entrapped in an illusion.

"Phew."

Merlin finally heaved a breath of relief. It was only at this moment that Legend Zado prickled up. His squad seemed to realize that they had been targeted by the warship. One after another, fearful expressions appeared on their faces.

However, they did not understand why the warship did not open fire.

"Merlin, you're here too?"

Instead, Legend Zado greeted Merlin.

Merlin smiled bitterly. He was just about to get rid of this empire-level warship when an intense surge of danger flared up in his senses.

"I've been locked down as a target?"

Merlin immediately noticed that two empire-level warships had locked him down. Moreover, they were situated even further away.

Merlin was already consuming his full energy to envelop this warship in an illusion. If he were to split his Mind Power, coupled with the distance, the burden on his Mind Power might probably exceed his abilities.

However, he had no other choice. He could only clench his teeth, and mobilized his Hallucinating spell. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape the attacks of the empire-level warships.

This was because the attack of one empire-level warship was already comparable to an Honored Legend. Hence, Merlin did not have the confidence that he could withstand the attacks of two warships at once. It would not be wise to face it head-on.

"Hallucinate!"

Merlin stretched out his Mind Power and swiftly entrapped all three warships in the illusion. However, this was the maximum limit of his abilities. Even his face was distorted in pain.

"I must escape quickly!"

Merlin knew that he could not hold on any longer. His Mind Power could neither withstand such a far distance nor sustain an illusion for three empire-level warships.

"Boom."

No one noticed that a huge beam had traveled from the depths of the Void Zone. It shot right across the Void Zone and headed toward Merlin's direction.

"Dimension-level warship…"

Merlin paled. Such a huge light beam and such a terrifying power, it could only be volleyed by the most sophisticated dimension-level warship of the Atlan civilization.

Due to its incredible speed, by the time Merlin's heart issued a warning, the light beam had already blasted out. The attack was simply aimed at a random area whereas Merlin and Zado's Legend Squads just happened to be in the vicinity.

"This is it…"

Merlin could sense the terrifying force contained in this light beam. He knew that even if he were a few folds more powerful, he would not be able to withstand this attack.

This was an attack that could not be withstood even by the Lords. It was the most terrifying warship hidden by the Atlan civilization, which could potentially tilt the balance of the war!

Chapter 759: Break Through, Illusory Heart!

Everyone could sense the destructive powers contained within that blinding light. Even Merlin gave up all hope at this point. Two Legend Squads would be reduced to ashes the next moment.

This was a terrifying war. No one was able to predict the dangers that lied ahead. Once danger came around the corner, it was inevitable.

At this moment, it felt like time stopped still. The hidden Atlan civilization warship was a dimension-level warship. This blast was intended to kill more Legendary Wizards, and tilt the balance of the war.

Before this beam of light, no one could possibly think of escaping because it was simply too fast for anyone to react in time.

"Purgatory Inferno!"

Suddenly, a frosty voice reverberated in everyone's ears. A silhouette, nestled between wedges of black and fiery red, was exceptionally familiar to almost all the Legendary Wizards.

The Blackfire Lord! The closest Lord to their vicinity was the Blackfire Lord. He immediately wielded his Maxims. Two Maxims combined to form an inferno-like blaze, far above the power of an average Honored Legend.

This was the power of a Lord!

"Boom."

Two mighty forces of power collided directly with one another. That blinding light packed a powerful penetrative force and pierced through the two Maxims wielded by the Blackfire Lord. Almost unrelentingly, it headed straight toward the Blackfire Lord.

Nevertheless, the Blackfire Lord was prepared. He gently waved his hand, and a huge casting tool appeared, with his Maxim avatar above it.

"Go!"

This was a life-preserving casting tool that the Blackfire Lord had spent countless years to construct. It could withstand one hit from a Lord. Therefore, he was not afraid of this light beam.

Nonetheless, he would lose a life-preserving casting tool.

"What are you waiting for?"

The Blackfire Lord roared loudly. Currently, the battlefield was extremely chaotic. Everywhere was filled with formidable Maxims and the light beams of the Atlan civilization warships.

This dimension-level warship could not be challenged by anyone below a Lord. Hence, even the Blackfire Lord had a difficult time resisting it. Fortunately, other Lords had noticed the position of this dimension-level warship and was quickly approaching.

"Phew."

Merlin's heart relaxed marginally. He continued to wield Hallucinating spell with his Mind Power to trap the Atlans in the three empire-level warships in the illusion. Therefore, he could only leave this place after Legend Zado's squad had left. Otherwise, the three empire-level warships were also tough to handle.

"Unfortunately, I still cannot gain enlightenment of the Illusory Heart. Otherwise, I can exert control over people's minds, like puppets. Then, we won't be so troubled. What am I lacking?"

For some time now, Merlin could sense that he was already very close to breaking through the Illusory Heart. However, he was still lacking kismet. As to what kind of kismet this was, he did not know either.

However, just as he was about to leave, an even stronger surge of danger prickled down his neck. He raised his head abruptly and saw that behind the first light beam was another scarier light.

"Teacher Blackfire!!!"

Merlin's heart lurched. The first beam was only barely blocked by the Blackfire Lord's life-preserving casting tool. This beam of light was even more terrifying than its predecessor. What else could he possibly use to deflect it?

It seemed like no power would be able to stop this terrifying beam of light anymore. In the blink of an eye, the light slammed directly onto the Darkness Maxim and Fire Maxim in front of the Blackfire Lord and easily tore them apart. Next, it struck the Blackfire Lord's body violently.

The Spell Casters' bodies, regardless of if they were Legends or Lords, were weak without the protection of Maxims. The light beam tore apart the Blackfire Lord's Maxims with ease and had turned him into ashes.

Silence. Deafening silence!

The entire battlefield fell silent in an instant. Along with that beam of light, the Blackfire Lord had disappeared. This was an incomparably ancient Lord who had grew in tandem with the Spell Caster civilization. He had witnessed the Spell Caster civilization when it was at its weakest, and then step by step, flourished into its current might.

He was a Great Lord. During peacetime or even a ruthless civilization war, they would not die. It was only when they faced the Atlan civilization previously had seen some Lords getting killed.

This time, upon re-encountering the Atlan civilization, another Lord had fallen!

Merlin stared dumb stricken at the Void Zone where the Blackfire Lord had perished. It was an empty patch with nothing left. Even an ultimate Maxim could not withstand that terrifying beam. A Lord was reduced into ashes.

"Teacher Blackfire…"

Merlin's mind replayed various scenes containing the Blackfire Lord. From the beginning of his Spell Caster journey to his achievement of becoming a Great Honored Legend today, three Wizards had impacted him the most.

The first was Old Man Etha back in Blackwater City. Without Old Man Etha, Merlin would not have embarked on the path to become a Spell Caster. Most probably, by now, he would have died like a Normie.

Therefore, despite the meager number of times he had met Old Man Etha, it could not be denied that in Merlin's heart, Old Man Etha was his first teacher!

The second Wizard was Wizard Leo. Back in the Dark Magic Region, Wizard Leo had not only given Merlin a lot of attention but even took the initiative to approach Abyss Fort to help Merlin obtain Darkness Heart. Then, before his death, he had passed on Darkness Eye to Merlin.

Without Darkness Eye, Merlin would have died multiple times in all kinds of dangerous situations. Hence, Wizard Leo's help would forever be remembered by Merlin.

The third Wizard was none other than the Blackfire Lord. In the beginning, this Great Lord merely admired Merlin or perhaps even treated him as an experiment. He wanted to see if Merlin could perfect the Mind Power system.

Merlin had perfected the preliminary stage of the Mind Power system. He had not gotten an opportunity to share this news with the Blackfire Lord, and now, the Blackfire Lord was dead.

Back when Merlin was trapped in the Slothful Beast world, if not for the Blackfire Lord who had managed to persuade Arcane Wizard Setoh, Merlin might have been trapped in the Slothful Beast world for the rest of his life.

However, all three of them were dead now. Old Man Etha died, Teacher Leo died, and now, the Blackfire Lord too!

At this moment, a spark of fury arose in Merlin's heart. Ever since he began cultivating his Mind Power and inch toward perfecting the Mind Power system, Merlin almost did not have an ounce of rage in him anymore. His control over his emotions was extremely high. There was almost nothing in this world that could cause him to lose control over his emotions and explode in fury.

This time, however, the Blackfire Lord had died right before his eyes, reduced into ashes. Furious emotions surged out. Merlin's Mind Power tremored vigorously and began to bubble frantically like a pot of boiling water.

A strange sensation appeared in Merlin's heart. His consciousness seemed detached from his body and he could distinctly sense the undulating rage contained in his emotions.

Besides rage, there was sorrow, regret, and a myriad of emotions. All of them were clearly reflected in his consciousness.

"Illusory Heart? Is this the power to control minds?"

Merlin mumbled under his breath. His consciousness was incomparably calm at this moment, almost like he was watching an unrelated person. The various emotions in his own heart appeared succinctly before his eyes. In fact, he could even control those emotions and the power of rage.

In his mind, the features of the Illusory Heart realm appeared instinctively. This was the Mind Control that Titus had told him about. How daunting was such an ability?

"Boom."

That huge light beam appeared once again. The dimension-level warship was hidden amid the darkness. As long as it existed, the Spell Caster civilization would sustain massive losses.

The dimension-level warship hidden behind the scenes could tilt the outcome of the war!

Although several Great Lords had been gradually approaching the warship, their distance was still far away. If this warship could wreck damage, by the time the Great Lords find the warship, the Spell Casters would have been grievously crippled.

Merlin gently shut his eyes and stood motionlessly in the Void Zone. His mannerisms attracted a lot of attention. Many Wizards even wondered if Merlin had lost his mind.

Faced with the threat of death, perhaps even the Honored Legends would go insane.

However, Merlin alone knew that his Mind Power was surging like a tidal wave. It was multiplying rapidly. The very moment he gained enlightenment of the Illusory Heart, his Mind Power seemed to increase at ten times speed. In the blink of an eye, his Mind Power had grown a hundred-fold.

How frightful was such a growth rate?

It was not surprising that Titus kept telling Merlin not to bother deliberately cultivating Mind Power. Once there was a breakthrough in the Hallucinating spells realm, upon enlightenment of the Illusory Heart realm, his Mind Power would increase at such a terrifying rate.

The vast Void Zone now became incomparably tiny in Merlin's eyes. His Mind Power extended incessantly and feverishly, almost enveloping dozens of Rock Creatures and Light Believers as well as more than ten Atlan civilization warships.

"Mind Control!"

At this moment, Merlin's Mind Power erupted. A daunting Mind Power, coupled with the unrivaled Illusory Heart realm exploded. No one had ever seen a Mind Power Master, especially a Ninth-level Mind Power Master, achieve such a formidable feat.

Merlin was now at the Ninth-level, a Mind Power Master who had achieved the Illusory Heart realm!

"Hum."

Suddenly, the faces of those who were encased by Merlin's Mind Power twitched slightly. Merlin could distinctly sense the myriad of emotions in their minds.

There was smugness, fear, fanatism, and so on. The Light Believers' unparalleled fanatical worship, the Rock Tribe's smugness, and the Atlans' calmness.

Various emotions appeared in Merlin's mind. At this moment, Merlin could almost become the master of all living beings. The mind was the master of all living beings, and all their minds had been controlled by Merlin!

Once Mind Power Masters achieved the Eighth-level Hallucinating spells' realm, they would become more powerful than their similar-level counterparts. Then, upon cultivating Mind Suppression, they would become even more powerful. Upon achieving the Ninth-level, which was the Illusory Heart realm, they would be terrifying!

There was another more apt description, invincible!

Chapter 760: Mind Control!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin stood motionless in the Void Zone. With him at the center, other than the Spell Casters, all the remaining Rock Creatures, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization warships became hypnotized in a strange calm.

It was like everyone was turned into a statue. Time seemed to stop as everyone stopped moving.

Mind Control, the petrifying Mind Control. At this moment, no one within Merlin's Mind Power range could evade their fate. Merlin was their supreme master!

"Crazy, everyone goes crazy. The war has just begun!"

A chilling ruthlessness flashed across Merlin's eyes. With a wave of his hand, the warships driven by the Atlans turned their cannons around. The jet-black cannon nuzzles aimed directly at the Rock Tribe contenders and Light Believers beside them.

"Boom."

A violent cannon blast exploded. Rays of terrifying light beams shot across the Void Zone and impacted the Rock Creatures as well as the Light Believers.

At the same time, the Light Believers and Rock Creatures also shifted their attacks toward the Atlan civilization warships. Immediately, the battlefield descended into chaos.

"What's happening?"

"Infighting? Why would the Rock Creature and the Atlan civilization warships attack one another?"

"Terrifying, truly terrifying. The Atlan civilization warships are as hardy as turtle shells. The Rock Tribe lost three Honored Legend existences just to destroy one empire-level warship."

The Spell Caster civilization was stunned. Unexpectedly at such a crucial moment, the Rock Tribe, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization started to engage in an infighting, and fought ferociously. In just a few moments, the Rock Tribe had lost a few Honored Legend existences and dozens of ordinary Legend existences.

On the other hand, the Atlan civilization had lost two empire-level warships and five city-level warships. In terms of sheer numbers, the Rock Tribe and the Light Believers held the upper hand yet the Atlan civilization warships suffered the least.

This indirectly demonstrated the terror of the Atlan civilization's combat strength.

"Go ahead and kill, kill them all. Isn't war all about endless bloodshed?"

After advancing to the Illusory Heart realm, Merlin was able to control his opponents' minds. He was not crazed at the moment but extremely calm.

Once shrouded by his Mind Power, no one could resist his Mind Control. Currently, below the level of the Lords, Merlin was almost undefeatable!

"It's Mind Power! What a petrifying Mind Power!"

"The Rock Tribe, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization warships are all being mind-controlled. Is that Wizard Merlin's doing?"

"Legend Merlin? True, back then, he surpassed the civilization-level prodigies and is also a powerful Mind Power Master. How can a Mind Power Master become so petrifying?"

Finally, some Wizards began to notice something amiss and saw Merlin controlling the battlefield from above. That sweeping Mind Power was ultimately recognizable to the Spell Casters.

They immediately recalled Merlin's identity as a Mind Power Master. Nevertheless, at this moment, Merlin's Mind Power was like a vast ocean with unperceivable depth and immeasurable size. Moreover, his Mind Power could control the enemies. The so-called "infighting" between the Atlan civilization, Rock Tribe, and Light Believers had been orchestrated by Merlin.

Wherever Merlin was, chaos reigned. At this moment, almost no one on the battlefield could challenge Merlin. He had become the only vanquisher in the entire battlefield!

This was an Honored Legend as well as a Ninth-level Mind Power Master, who was able to control a battlefield even better than the ultimate existences, Great Lords, and countless Honored Legend existences. Surely, this battle would be a momentous celebration by all the Mind Power Masters!

This was not far from the truth. In a way, the more enemies there were, the more beneficial it was for Merlin. This was because the more minds he controlled, the more power he would gain.

Hence, at this moment, Merlin was almost undefeatable!

Wherever he went, the Atlan civilization warships would start to attack the Rock Tribe and Light Believers in a frenzy. Sometimes, they even attacked other warships from their civilization.

Wherever he went, the Rock Creatures and Light Believers would fall into unimaginable chaos and start to attack their friends and allies viciously. They were turned into madmen who could not control their behavior.

Throughout the countless years stretching across the immeasurable history of the Void Zone, nothing like this had ever happened before.

"Hum."

Suddenly, a chilling sense of danger loomed in Merlin's heart. His gaze immediately looked toward the direction where the danger originated. Based on his current Mind Power, he could almost predict danger.

Following the direction where the danger originated, Merlin saw a huge blinding light beam shot through the Void Zone again, from within the endless darkness, directly at him.

At this moment, Merlin knew that he had been locked as a target!

Being locked as a target by an Atlan civilization dimension-level warship would terrify even the Great Lords. After all, this was the fearsome warship which had just killed the Blackfire Lord.

Nonetheless, Merlin did not retreat. His mind seemed to replay the memory of the Blackfire Lord being reduced to ashes by this light beam, unable to put up a single ounce of resistance.

This warship was too far away, so Merlin could not trace its whereabouts. Moreover, the attack that could destroy a Lord was hurtling toward Merlin.

If it was just Merlin alone, no matter how powerful his Mind Power was, it would be useless. Regardless of how powerful a Mind Power was, its ability to interfere with the material world was extremely limited. It was even weaker than an ordinary Maxim.

However, Merlin's Mind Power could now control minds!

A smile appeared on the corner of Merlin's lips. He joined his hands together, and did not retreat. Instead, he began to head directly toward the hidden warship.

With every single step Merlin took, more Rock Tribe contenders, Atlan civilization warships, and Light Believers were controlled. These Rock Tribe contenders, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization warships rushed in droves to stand in front of Merlin, madly withstanding the terrifying light on his behalf.

Finally, after the death of a few Honored Legends and three empire-level warships, that beam of light was exhausted. Meanwhile, more warships, Rock Tribe contenders, and Light Believers had gathered around Merlin.

All of them had a blank look in their eyes, obviously being mind-controlled.

"Why don't you have a taste of being attacked by warships too…"

Merlin gently waved his hand. Instantly, five empire-level warships and thirteen city-level warships aimed their cannons toward the warship which was hiding in the dark a distance away.

The position of that hidden warship was immediately given away. Its position was locked by these warships with practiced ease.

"Boom boom boom."

Terrifying light beams which carried frightful power soared through the air toward the distant darkness. The hidden warship could no longer stay hidden. Once locked by the warships, they could not escape.

Thus, everyone could finally see a huge dimension-level warship which was hidden in darkness, gradually appear. It was this dimension-level warship which had just killed the Blackfire Lord and two Legend Squads.

"Bang bang bang."

More than a dozen light beams slammed heavily onto this warship, causing violent vibration. Nevertheless, it was a dimension-level warship, so its defensive layer was incredibly strong. Despite withstanding more than a dozen energy cannon attacks, it remained completely undamaged.

Perhaps the only damage it sustained was in terms of energy. Withstanding those attacks must have consumed a significant amount of energy.

Merlin's face was indifferent as he seemed unsurprised. If a dimension-level warship could be restrained so easily, then it would not have been called a dimension-level warship.

However, his gaze shifted toward three tiny figures before the dimension-level warship. Most likely, everyone's attention had been occupied by Merlin, so no one saw those three figures quickly approaching the dimension-level warship.

Merlin, on the other hand, knew that these three figures constituted unparalleled contenders of the Spell Caster civilization, second only to the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

The Nightmare Lord, who had consolidated four ultimate Maxims, was also the number one Lord of Setoh Arcane City.

The Bloodriver Lord, the only Lord born from among the plunderers, had also consolidated four ultimate Maxims.

The final Wizard was like an embodiment of a black hole. A spine-tingling aura exuded freely from this Wizard, and the Maxim on his body almost seemed like a dark cloud.

Although Merlin had never seen him before, judging by his distinctive characteristics, he immediately knew that this Wizard was from Augustus Arcane City. This was a Lord who had also consolidated four ultimate Maxims, and was even starting on the fifth. According to rumors, he was the Fowell Lord, the closest to becoming an ultimate existence.

These three Lords, from the moment the Blackfire Lord was killed, had been slowly approaching the dimension-level warship. They knew that as long as this hidden dimension-level warship was not defeated, then it would spell disaster for the entire Spell Caster civilization.

Therefore, while the warship was preoccupied with Merlin, the three Great Lords approached it as fast as possible.

"Both of you, attack now. No matter what the cost, we must show them the power of the Spell Casters!"

The Maxims on Fowell's body burst forth in an instant, along with the Bloodriver Lord, and the Nightmare Lord. Their ultimate Maxims turned into massive clouds and an enormous aura descended upon the entire battlefield.

This was the power of the powerful Lords, second only to the power of the ultimate existences!

"Kill!"

The three men yelled in unison. All their Maxims condensed together and slammed directly onto the dimension-level warship.

"Boom."

The resulting widespread Maxims shrouded the entire Void Zone. Even the massive warship was submerged within the Maxims and, for an instant, disappeared from view.

"Crack."

Perhaps it was just a moment or perhaps it was a long time later, but everyone heard some unusual noises. Under the joint attack of the three Great Lords, the incredibly solid dimension-level warship was torn apart.

The warship exploded. The immense force rippled in every direction, forming the most magnificent spectacle in the Void Zone!

Chapter 761: The Birth of the Mind Power System!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A dimension-level warship, even in the Atlan civilization, was a terrifying tactical-grade warship. It was the strongest force of the Atlan civilization at the present.

In the Atlan civilization, a dimension-level warship was far more valuable than the Great Lords in the Spell Caster civilization. The Spell Caster civilization merely had twenty-eight Lords but in the Atlan civilization, only thirteen dimension-level warships had appeared on the current battlefield, including this one which was destroyed.

Now that they had lost a dimension-level warship, this was the heaviest blow to the Atlan civilization. Moreover, the tide began to turn. The destruction of the Atlan civilization's dimension-level warship had transformed how the Spell Casters perceived the Atlan civilization. Those warships were not unrivaled, and even the strongest one could be destroyed.

Merlin continued forward. The Rock Tribe fighters, Atlan civilizations warships, and Light Believers under his control grew in numbers. With him at the center, it was like a majestic army which turned around, wildly clashing against the other fighters of the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization's warships.

The entire situation of the battlefield had been reversed because of Merlin!

By himself, Merlin was practically an unstoppable army. No matter how many there were, they only increased Merlin's strength. It was the first time these Great Legends, Honored Legends, and Lords knew how scary Mind Power Masters were.

Control over their minds – any creature with intelligence could be controlled. On the large-scale of the battlefield, Merlin was practically a master. No one was willing to confront a being who could instantly control their mind.

After all, no one wished to face their brothers who had just fought by their side to turn around to kill them immediately, madly slaughtering everyone.

A Mind Power Master like Merlin who could control hearts and minds was the nightmare of all his enemies!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

As if noticing the changes of the battlefield, the two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe and the Lord God of Light swiftly wriggled out from their fight with the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, retreating in a bewildered manner.

When they first saw the vast "army" gathering by Merlin's side, they found it inconceivable, especially the Lord God of Light, who was exceptionally enraged. Of course, he recognized Merlin at once.

"How could you not have died?"

The Lord God of Light found it difficult to believe his own eyes. Back then, a puny Spell Caster who had wiped out one of his will avatars was now a key figure in turning the tide of the battle.

Those who could change the course of a battlefield, other than ultimate existences, were those widely recognized Greatest Lords. It was even difficult for ultimate existences to kill these Greatest Lords, who were legendary figures. In millions of years or even longer, the entire Void Zone might not be able to produce one of these fortune-favored children of an era.

Clearly, Merlin was not a Greatest Lord but his strange abilities were naturally discerned by the Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light at once. They could tell that Merlin was not using the powers of a Spell Caster but a terrifying new capability.

The Lord God of Light glared steadily at Merlin. His understanding of the Spell Caster civilization was even deeper than some Spell Casters themselves. Therefore, after a quick observation, his face changed slightly as he said hoarsely, "Could he be a Mind Power Master? He is. He must be. In so many years, the Spell Caster civilization has been brewing a transformation, producing existences called Mind Power Masters. They don't rely on the power of Spell Models but Mind Power. It was just that the Mind Power system has never been refined hence, unable to produce beings on par with Great Legends. Even in the Spell Caster civilization, it isn't mainstream at all."

"Mind Power Masters?"

The two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe deeply bore this name in their minds. If a Mind Power Master was so fearsome, then it was a frightening system of power.

"O' three ultimate existences, both of your tribes can withdraw first. We've already analyzed that the opponent has intense Mind Power fluctuations, able to control the minds of any intelligent creature. However, it doesn't seem to affect much any existences above the Lords in the Spell Caster civilization. Let your Lord-level existences stay. Furthermore, our Atlan civilization has thought of a countermeasure."

Suddenly, a raspy voice spoke in the ears of the two Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light. They knew that this was the voice of the Atlan civilization's mysterious "leader".

The Lord God of Light and the two Rock Progenitors exchanged a glance. Even though the Lord God of Light wanted to kill Merlin, with three Ultimate Arcane Wizards keeping a strict watch, his chances of killing Merlin was next to nothing.

Thus, he could only retreat for now.

"Alright, I'll keep my strongest believers in the field. Your Rock Tribe should do the same with your strongest Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. We'll see how the Atlan civilization will respond."

The Lord God of Light and the two Rock Progenitors rapidly retreated.

"Running away?"

Merlin turned his gaze to the distance. At this point, his face broke out in a cruel smile. He waved his hand lightly. Instantly, the Rock Creatures and Light Believers under the control of his Mind Power all stepped forward, gathering in a group.

"One after another. There's no rush!"

Merlin's eyes turned increasingly icy. Even though he was able to control his emotions well, the Blackfire Lord had died because of him, causing his fury to burn vigorously even now.

"Bang."

The Lord God of Light and the Rock Tribe's Progenitors had begun to withdraw but they kept their eyes on Merlin. Presently, they saw that the Rock Creatures and the Light Believers controlled by Merlin were all killing themselves one by one in successive explosions.

For a moment, the Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light felt a sense of suffocation, as indescribable rage weighed down their retreating steps.

"Three of you, please withdraw as fast as possible. Merlin is provoking you."

Once again, the voice of the Atlan civilization's mysterious "leader" came to them. The Rock Progenitors and the Lord God of Light were all exuding a frightening murderous force. As lofty ultimate existences, they had never wished so intensely to kill someone.

However, Merlin had now succeeded in enraging them. As ultimate existences high above, everyone around them seemed as weak as ants, except for those who were similarly ultimate existences.

Nonetheless, it was the first time they had "properly noticed" Merlin. A method like this was an extreme emotional blow even to an ultimate existence.

At the moment, in the pitch-black Void Zone, Rock Creatures and Light Believers were frantically killing themselves as if it was a competition. They erupted in splatters of bloody mists which wafted through the Void Zone.

Regardless of whether it was the Rock Tribe or the Light God Organization or even the Spell Casters, they were stunned to their very cores at this scene. They had never seen anything like this.

Merlin had controlled over a hundred Rock Creatures and Light Believers. At last, they were all dead – all killed in peculiar, shocking ways, leaving only the warships of the Atlan civilization.

Merlin did not kill the Atlans. After all, these warships needed to be operated by them. This was a great help to the Spell Casters. Faced with Atlans who did not have much fighting power, Spell Casters were able to control them.

"Look, the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization, even the warships of the Atlan civilization are withdrawing."

"They are withdrawing. Have we won?"

Many Spell Casters finally noticed that the enemies had started to retreat. They had been prepared for extreme cruelties, and now they seemed to have won after just a short time?

Even so, in such a short period, it had been rather ruthless. The Spell Caster civilization had lost three Legend Squads, five Honored Legends, and the Blackfire Lord.

Compared to the losses of the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and the Atlan civilization, this was nothing at all. Only the Blackfire Lord's death caused them much regret.

The twenty-right Lords from now on were left with twenty-seven Lords. However, they had Wizard Merlin, who was not a Lord but even better, a noble existence who had tentatively refined the Mind Power system!

In this war, Merlin had reversed their disadvantaged position by himself. Otherwise, how difficult would it have been to counter the attacks of the Atlan civilization?

Nonetheless, Merlin did not let anyone go but waved his hand, advancing with the remaining Atlan civilization warships which he had controlled. However, Merlin soon discovered that the Lord-level existences of the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization had stayed behind. The empire-level and city-level warship of the Atlan civilization controlled by Merlin were no match for these Lord-level existences.

Furthermore, from behind them, out flew martial art robots. Among them, many were comparable to Honored Legends, manufactured by the Atlan civilization's dimension-level warship.

Merlin's Mind Power could not overpower Lord-level existences. Likewise, it could not gain control over martial arts robots which were simply controlled by complex programs.

On the battlefield, the Atlan civilization was far more formidable than the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and even the Spell Caster civilization. They were able to think up of an effective countermeasure in such a short time.

Merlin fell into momentary silence. In the end, he did not continue forward. The other side seemed to have stopped the fight as well. Both sides were in momentary respite, each retreating.The three great Arcane Cities had currently merged. They were originally founded by the three Great Arcane Wizards, so naturally, they were easily united.

Currently, all fighters of the Spell Caster civilization above Legends had gathered here. The three Great Arcane Wizards presided from up high with the twenty-seven Lords right below them.

However, the one who stood out was Merlin. It was the first time an Honored Legend sat among the twenty-seven Lords but no one had objected. Instead, they seemed to treat it as a certainty.

Everyone knew that in the past thousands of years, ever since the Spell Caster civilization set foot in the Void Zone, the first major development had occurred.

"Everyone, from today, I'll publicize a new cultivation system – the Mind Power system! I've finally refined it tentatively after going through various twists of fate. Anyone who's awakened their Mind Power can cultivate and all Spell Casters can even pick it up! It's just a shame that Teacher Blackfire, who's given me so much help, couldn't live to see this moment…"

Merlin stood in mid-air, his body emanated his grieving emotion, which even spread outward, unwittingly affecting everyone.

Only those above the Lords would not be influenced as much.

"Controlling minds… What a scary Mind Power Master! To think that the Mind Power system, which I thought had no future and would never be developed, is now actually refined. Wizard Merlin is really impressive and amazing. He can lead the Mind Power system to a point where it's not even inferior to our Spell Caster system!"

Even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards had never imagined that the puny Mind Power system could become so formidable. Furthermore, after this war, having seen the terrifying power of Merlin's Mind Control with their own eyes, no one would look down upon the Mind Power system.

The Mind Power system was finally born after being refined tentatively by Merlin!

Merlin knew that this was also due to the contributions of the Blackfire Lord, Titus, and even the Purple Emperor. Nonetheless, the birth of the Mind Power system was perhaps what they had hoped for, and it was fulfilled!

"Blackfire's dream was finally achieved. It's just a shame he can't see it for himself…"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's eyes revealed a subtle, sorrowful look.

"Haha, Wizard Merlin, today you've founded the Mind Power system. After some time, it's bound to be on par with our Spell Caster system. No matter what, the Mind Power system is established by us Spell Casters, and only we Spell Casters can awaken our Mind Power. The birth of the Mind Power system will surely strengthen our Spell Caster civilization!"

Augustus appeared overjoyed. Just as he said, the Mind Power system was not established in opposition to the Spell Caster system but instead, they complemented each other. Those ambitious ones like Merlin could even cultivate both together as they would not affect each other. The only thing that was involved was the Spell Caster's own energy.

"Wizard Merlin, you're now an Honored Legend but you've not been honored with a title. You became an Honored Legend through a Darkness Maxim and should have been called a Legend of Darkness. I believe everyone now thinks that we can scrap this title. You've founded the Mind Power system, so we mustn't be too sloppy with your title, haha. All the Great Legends are gathered here, how about if we honor you with a fitting title today?"

Augustus' words were greeted with cries of endorsement by many Legendary Wizards.

Most Honored Legends would have a unique honorific title. Some were honored based on their Maxims, some by a special characteristic. In short, although Merlin had become an Honored Legend, he had never possessed an "honorific title" belonging to him alone.

Merlin wore a knowing smile. He knew that Augustus was helping him to establish a position with all of the Legendary Wizards gathered to honor an Honored Legend with a "title". It was not just Great Lords but even the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, who had never enjoyed a treatment like this.

This would immediately establish Merlin's position in the entire Spell Caster civilization. In other words, he was placed above most Lords.

Chapter 762: I Am Glory!

All of the Legendary Wizards began to ease into an enthusiastic discussion. It was their first time participating in such an event – selecting an appropriate "title" for an Honored Legend.

This lightened the tense mood of the war for a moment. After all, the Spell Caster civilization's war against the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and the Atlan civilization had not ended. It was only the beginning.

A more ruthless war was waiting for all Spell Casters.

Merlin smiled, declining to comment on the discussions of these Legendary Wizards, only staying in his seat quietly. No matter what honorific title he was granted, it made no difference to him.

Soon, many Legendary Wizards had spoken their minds, suggesting many names. However, one of these had the most supporters.

"You'd be honored as Glory! Our Spell Caster civilization began in the Glorious Land, and everything we do is for the glory of the Spell Caster civilization. Today, Wizard Merlin has established the Mind Power system, surely becoming the glory of our Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, the Legend Glory is most suited for Wizard Merlin!"

This was the explanation of the Legendary Wizard who had suggested the name, which received an exuberant response. Many Spell Casters supported this suggestion. The Legend Glory – for a moment, it made them think of the origin of the Spell Casters, and the struggle of Spell Casters throughout thousands of years, to finally arrive at where it was today.

"The Legend Glory… Not bad. Setoh, Ceci, what do you think?"

Augustus muttered this name softly. To be named as Glory, Merlin's position in the entire Spell Caster civilization would only be second to the three Great Arcane Wizards. This was something not even he had foreseen.

"That's right, this name fits Wizard Merlin very well!"

Arcane Wizards Setoh and Ceci nodded in agreement. They could perceive that after Merlin had tentatively refined the Mind Power system, in less than a hundred years, this system would make waves in the Spell Caster civilization. Spell Casters who became Mind Power Masters would certainly grow in number, and Merlin's influence at that point would be even greater.

In that case, they might as well establish solid relations with Merlin. If Merlin grew powerful in the future, even if he did not become an Arcane Wizard, the three Great Arcane Wizards would even consider helping Merlin set up a fourth Arcane City named Glory as the sacred land of all Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster civilization.

"Wizard Merlin, what do you think?"

Augustus asked Merlin. This honorific title was Merlin's. Naturally, they would need his agreement.

"Glory…"

Merlin muttered to himself softly. He recalled the Glorious Land, Blackwater City, the Dark Magic Region and so on. Although he had already left the Glorious Land, it was the place where his path as a Spell Caster began. He would never forget it.

"Very well. From today onwards, I shall be the Legend Glory, that's to say, I am Glory!"

Merlin's chest swelled with a sense of heroism.

Following that, the Great Legends, Honored Legends, and even the twenty-seven Lords congratulated Merlin. The birth of the Legend Glory seemed to provide the Spell Caster civilization with a trace of hope. There was none of the solemnness from before when they were faced with the war.

Thereafter, Merlin publicly passed on the Mind Power system he had refined, along with some specific cultivation techniques. The Mind Power system was merely one system with the First to Sixth-level Mind Power Masters.

Following that, a Seventh-level Mind Power Master would condense a Mind Heart. Next, with the Eighth-level realm of Hallucinating spells, one could compare to a Great Legend. In addition to various Hallucinating spell techniques, the Eighth-level Mind Power Master was stronger than the average Legend.

As for the Ninth-level state of the Illusory Heart, one was practically unrivaled, almost myth-like. At this stage, which was Merlin's current stage, no one would wish to oppose a Ninth-level Mind Power Master.

As for the Tenth-level Illusory World, not even Merlin had reached that point.

Moreover, during Merlin's publicity of the Mind Power system, he did not mention the Tenth-level and the Eleventh-level. These were too far away, and reversing the natural order was too astonishing.

Therefore, there was no need to announce that. Not only would it serve no purpose but it might also even cause chaos.

The Mind Power system was only tentatively refined because the stages were only generally divided like the Spell Casters who had the First to the Ninth-level, then Great Wizard, finally consolidating a Maxim to become a Legend, an Honored Legend, and even a Lord.

This was merely a general division of boundaries. As for the offensive techniques of Mind Power Masters, they were equivalent to the attacks of Spell Casters' spells and Spell Models. The Mind Power Masters of the future would have to slowly develop this.

In the past, Spell Casters were like this, becoming something from nothing, developing and refining bit by bit. In the end, they became a sophisticated cultivation system with an unknown number of Spell Models. They even branched out into alchemy, runology, potions, and so on.

The Mind Power system refined by Merlin today appeared only as an empty rack with nothing but broad divisions of boundaries. It did not even have any offensive techniques such as the Purple Emperor's Mind Suppression which Merlin did not share. This was considered a special attack, and in the future, he would only pass it on to close friends or descendants.

However, Merlin was not worried that the Mind Power system would not flourish. As long as Wizards cultivated and delved into it, over time, all sorts of offensive Mind techniques would be gradually developed. In the future, it might even spawn a system that Merlin could never imagine.

Merlin was simply the founder of a system. To truly perfect it, one would need countless others who had cultivated Mind Power, just like the Spell Models which Aruba had passed on. At first, it only had a pitiful amount but ultimately, with the diligence of innumerable Spell Casters, it was endlessly enriched and refined, finally giving birth to three Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

After a moment of bustle, many Legendary Wizards were interested in the Mind Power system shared by Merlin. As the Mind Power system did not clash with the Spell Caster system, they only had to put in their own efforts.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of Merlin's Mind Control, even those Great Legends, Honored Legends, and the twenty-seven Lords were highly interested in Merlin's Mind Power system. They hurried away, preparing to study it at leisure.

Arcane City was now left with the three Great Arcane Wizards and the twenty-seven Lords as if they had important matters to discuss.

After a long moment, Arcane Wizard Setoh spoke, "Everyone, let's talk about what we should do next."

Right, what should they do next? The twenty-seven Lords were clear that in this war, they had only relied on Merlin and three Great Lords to defeat one dimension-level warship, momentarily gaining the upper hand against the Atlan civilization.

The war had not ended. Furthermore, the martial arts robots manufactured by the Atlan civilization were outside, keeping a strict eye on the Spell Caster civilization. Not even Merlin had a plan. He could control hearts and minds but was incapable of taking over those icy martial arts robots who were nothing more than a series of programs.

"Legend Glory, what say you?"

Augustus asked Merlin.

Merlin knitted his brows. One must not judge based on how he was master of the battlefield earlier, dealing with the Rock Tribe, the Atlan civilization, and the Light God Organization by himself. In truth, that was taking advantage of the fact that the Atlan civilization and the rest did not know about his powers.

Now, the Atlan civilization had already taken precautions. They would keep the warships at a far distance, preventing Merlin's Mind Power from reaching them, then forbid those below Lords from the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization to join the battle. Moreover, they would use the warships to constantly manufacture martial arts robots comparable to Great Legends or even Honored Legends. Merlin's Mind Control could not be wielded effectively.

"How troublesome. My Mind Control isn't much use against those robots and existences on par with Great Lords. Nonetheless, I can act as a deterrence. With me around, their dimension-level warship and other warships won't dare to appear. With just those martial arts robots, which one can be a match for a Great Lord? As for the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization, their Lord-level existences make up a pitiful number. In general, we still have the upper hand. However, I'm just afraid that the Atlan civilization would come up with a way to block my Mind Power attack. Then that would be troublesome."

Merlin was most worried that the Atlan civilization would invent some technique to block his Mind Power. Before this, when Merlin had used his Mind Power to attack the empire-level and city-level warships of the Atlan civilization, he had noticed something.

Those warships could slightly hinder his Mind Power. This meant that Merlin's Mind Power was not omnipotent. At the very least, the Atlan civilization must have some methods to cut off a Mind Power attack.

In addition, Merlin now harbored a greater worry. If the Atlan civilization was connected to the Vestigial Tribe who had taken over the Void Zone as mentioned by the Purple Emperor, then they were in real trouble.

Even imposing existences like the Thirty-six Emperors were apprehensive of the Vestigial Tribe. They must be rather abnormal. The Purple Emperor's Mind Power was formidable. Based on pure Mind Power strength, even the current Merlin was somewhat lacking.

However, the Purple Emperor had died. Merlin was very concerned about the Vestigial Tribe's force. If the Atlan civilization was connected to the Vestigial Tribe, it was too dangerous.

"That's right. We'll now rely on the Legend Glory as a deterrence, and we still have the upper hand. Without the threat of the warships, our number of Lords are greater than theirs, and we can almost suppress them directly. Before the Lords, are those so-called robots worth much?

"However, we mustn't think that we can rest easy now. I've heard that the Atlan civilization is working on the void-level warship. Perhaps previously it was limited by something in the Atlan Dimension. Now they've left the Atlan Dimension, and if they really build a void-level warship successfully, it won't be just a catastrophe for the Spell Caster civilization but all civilizations! Therefore, we must be ready."

Augustus' considerations were no less than Merlin's. He knew that the present situation seemed to favor the Spell Casters but in truth, it was just a momentary moment of peace.

If the Atlan civilization found a way, the Spell Caster civilization would be in danger once more. Therefore, they must prepare in advance and come up with a plan to help the Spell Caster civilization survive this crisis. It was just that, how could such a plan be that easy to come up with?

Nonetheless, Merlin's heart leaped as he looked at the seemingly serene expressions of the three Great Arcane Wizards. Evidently, they had something in mind, only Merlin did not know what plan they had to resolve the crisis faced by the Spell Caster civilization.

Chapter 763: Arrangements

"O' Three Arcane Wizards, so what do we do now?"

One of the Lords asked in a low voice. They were the core strength of the Spell Caster civilization. Without the twenty-seven Lords, the Spell Caster civilization could not be considered that scary.

Augustus drew in a deep breath, then said calmly, "It's simple. We can only ask for help now! Whether it's the Light God Organization or the Atlan civilization, they're a threat to many civilizations in the Void Zone. Even the Rock Tribe isn't a living race. They're extremely destructive toward dimensions. Before this, we didn't contact the other civilizations mainly because they didn't know the situation of the Atlan civilization or that the Rock Tribe would ally with the Light God Organizations. Now, those two has joined forces, and we've held the fort. This is our greatest bargaining chip and the best persuasion!"

In the Void Zone, the Spell Caster civilization was not much interested in alliances nor was they on particularly good terms with any civilization. Therefore, if they hastily contacted the other civilizations, who would be willing to help?

However, it was different now. The Spell Caster civilization was facing the collective threat of the Atlan civilization, the Rock Tribe, and the Light God Organization which represented the God Alliance.

The other civilizations would not remain indifferent to such a coalition. These civilizations were interdependent. If the Spell Caster civilization was wiped out, it would be the other civilizations next.

Nonetheless, whether or not they could mobilize the other civilizations was something no one could guarantee.

In addition, there was one key point. Who should they send?

"Three Wizards, the candidate to contact the other powerful civilization mustn't be someone ordinary!"

Some of the Lords immediately thought of this. Currently, the Spell Caster civilization was not in a very favorable situation. If there was no reversal of fortune, and the Atlan civilization managed to devise a way to contend against Merlin's Mind Power, they would be in trouble.

Thus, they had to invite more powerful civilizations, joining forces with them to hold off the Atlan civilization, the Rock Tribe, and the Light God Organization.

Naturally, it was most appropriate for the three Great Arcane Wizards to put in an appearance for such a matter. Their success rate would be high. Although the current war situation appeared stabilized, a war was filled with a myriad of unpredictable changes. If even one Arcane Wizard was missing, the consequences would be unfathomable.

Therefore, the three Arcane Wizards certainly could not leave. In that case, only the Lords were left.

Lords with four Maxims must not leave as well. These Lords were a threat to those dimension-level warships, and they must not lose even one.

However, if they did not even send one powerful Lord to request help from those powerful civilizations, it would not be very persuasive.

Everyone fell into a grim silence. This matter was not that simple.

"I'll go!"

Suddenly, Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice rang out. Everyone stared at him in shock. None of the three Arcane Wizards must leave the battlefield.

However, Arcane Wizard Setoh continued by saying, "I'll use a Darkness Maxim avatar, on par with a peak Lord. He can represent us three Great Arcane Wizards, so it's only fitting."

The Lords below nodded. It was true that Arcane Wizard Setoh had many Maxim avatars. These avatars had decent capabilities and were best suited to contact those powerful civilizations.

Therefore, everyone agreed to let Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar head toward various foreign civilizations. It was just that no one noticed the hint of worry within the eyes of the three Great Arcane Wizards."Legend Glory, what you said earlier is true?"

After everyone had left, there were only the three Arcane Wizards and Merlin left in the main foyer.

The one who spoke was Augustus. A grave expression had come over the faces of the three Arcane Wizards.

Merlin was solemn as well, and he nodded. "It's best if you three hear it from the Atlans themselves."

With that, Merlin waved his hand, and three Atlans immediately flew out from his Spatial Ring.

These Atlans came from the warship that Merlin had controlled on the battlefield. Merlin did not kill them all since he needed them to operate the warship.

These three Atlans wore a special type of protective attire that was able to withstand heavy blows. Attacks below the level of Legends were nothing to them.

Only a force above Legends could harm them.

The weakness of the Atlans' bodies was merely relative. In truth, with these various defensive measures, it was not that easy to kill the Atlans.

Just like the protective attire they wore – anyone who was not a Legend could not harm them at all.

Nonetheless, faced with Merlin's Mind Control, even the best protective attire was useless. All three of their gazes were lifeless, their minds controlled by Merlin.

"Tell me, what is the Atlan civilization planning?"

Merlin asked calmly.

The three Arcane Wizards stared transfixed at the three Atlans.

"My authority is limited, and I only know that there seems to be an unusually massive plan to build a void-level warship. This plan has been going on in the Atlan Dimension long ago, only we were missing something which I don't know what, that caused its progress to be very slow. However, I heard that once we reached the Void Zone, we might locate some precious materials in the dimensions to manufacture the void-level warship. Perhaps the void-level warship is no longer just a fantasy!"

Upon hearing the words of these three, the Arcane Wizards grew more serious, their faces darkening slightly.

It was not the first time they had crossed paths with the Atlan civilization. Naturally, they knew what the void-level warship meant. It was a frightening military weapon that was a threat even to ultimate existences. It would be the Atlan civilization's greatest power!

Before this, as they were confined to the Atlan Dimension, they were unable to build one for some reason. However, if they had reached the Void Zone, and could manufacture one, it would be a disaster of inconceivable proportions to the entire Spell Caster civilization, even to the other civilizations of the Void Zone.

After all, the Atlan civilization's current greatest weakness was that they had no ultimate existences. They did not even have any forces to contend against ultimate existences. They could only hide like a tortoise in its shell within the Atlan Dimension, which ultimate existences dared not enter.

Nevertheless, if they had manufactured a void-level warship, amending this weakness of the Atlan civilization, it was terrifying to think about even for the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards!

"Legend Glory, are the words of these three true?"

Augustus asked quietly.

"The minds of all three are already controlled by me, so they can't possibly lie! Moreover, I've interrogated other Atlans as well. They didn't know about the plan to build the void-level warship. Only these three, being captains of an empire-level warship and thus having a higher status, knew this bit of information."

After receiving this news, Merlin informed the three Arcane Wizards as soon as he could. As expected, the three Arcane Wizards seemed to take this matter very seriously.

After a long moment, the three Arcane Wizards looked at Merlin, following which Wizard Setoh said evenly, "Legend Glory, do you know that your announcement of the Mind Power system today is an epochal act? If it was during a stable period of the Spell Caster civilization, we might only need a thousand years for your Mind Power system to develop to a point on par with the Spell Caster system or even greater. Of all days, it had to happen in this period when our Spell Caster civilization is at most risk."

After a pause, Arcane Wizard Setoh seemed to have made up his mind, and enunciated each word clearly, "Legend Glory, make your preparations. After three days, my darkness avatar will leave with you to ask for help from other foreign civilizations!"

"Leave with me? If I'm missing from the battlefield, wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Merlin was doubtful. Currently, everyone knew that his function on the battlefield was incomparably vital. He could not leave now.

"You're now an Honored Legend, and can condense a Maxim avatar. If you condense one, he should be able to deter the Atlan civilization and the rest. At that point, perhaps we'll already be returning with fighters from other foreign civilizations. Alright, go and prepare yourself. This is the decision of us three Arcane Wizards!"

Setoh waved his hand, firmly dismissing Merlin to make his preparations.

Although Merlin had his questions, he knew that the three Arcane Wizards would not answer him for now. He could only shake his head, and turn to leave powerlessly.

"We must defend against the Atlan civilization's void-level warship! If something happens, then Merlin might be the Spell Caster civilization's final hope. No matter what, nothing must happen to him."

As they watched Merlin's departing figure, a determined light flashed in the eyes of the three Arcane Wizards. This was the arrangement they agreed upon after their discussion.

Chapter 764: Titus Awakens

When he returned to his residence, Merlin felt somewhat uneasy. The Atlan civilization was planning to build a void-level warship. Although no one knew whether they were making progress, there was no doubt that this was the biggest threat to the Spell Caster civilization.

Moreover, the war was still ongoing. As the Legend Glory, he was a powerful deterrent. He was going away now, and though he would leave a Maxim avatar in his place, a mere Maxim avatar would not have Merlin's state of Mind Power. Therefore, the avatar would have no way of controlling minds.

If something were to happen, the situation of the battlefield could change in the blink of an eye.

Merlin carefully thought about the manner of the three Arcane Wizards. With a jolt in his heart, he quickly linked various deductions and thought of a possibility.

"The three Arcane Wizards are thinking of the worst outcome, and made a plan based on that! I founded the Mind Power system, and have the highest possibility of becoming an ultimate existence among the entire Spell Caster civilization. However, this is precisely what we lack right now."

Merlin finally understood why Arcane Wizard Setoh would stubbornly bring Merlin away at this moment. This was a discreet way of protecting Merlin.

If something happened in the battlefield, then Merlin, who had left, would avoid the danger. In that manner, the Spell Caster civilization would be left with a spark, a final hope.

If the day came when Merlin could become an ultimate existence, there was still hope for the Spell Caster civilization. This was what the three Arcane Wizards were thinking of.

Merlin finally understood the intentions of the three Arcane Wizards. The entire Spell Caster civilization's development up until the present day, despite growing at a terrifying rate, had only produced three Arcane Wizards.

Furthermore, ever since Arcane Wizard Setoh became an ultimate existence, no matter how ancient those Lords were or how new Lords appeared, none of them had the foundation of becoming an ultimate existence.

Even the First Lord of Augustus Arcane City, the Fowell Lord was known to be closest to becoming an ultimate existence. However, after so many years, he had made no headway. No matter what, he was unable to become an ultimate existence. This indicated that his chances were extremely slim.

Nonetheless, Merlin's appearance had given the three Arcane Wizards hope for the fourth ultimate existence of the Spell Caster civilization. Merlin had founded the Mind Power system and was also an Honored Legend in the Spell Caster system. His talents were not shabby at all.

With potential like Merlin's, this was enough! The three Arcane Wizards must plan for the best and the worst on behalf of the Spell Caster civilization, and prepare accordingly.

Even so, though Merlin knew that the three Arcane Wizards were indirectly protecting him, he did not wish to leave the battlefield at this moment. His technique of controlling minds was crucial to the present situation of the war. He must not leave so easily. Once the Atlan civilization discovered that he had left, the outcome would be unimaginable.

"Why is this a problem? You can condense a Mind avatar and all your worries would be resolved!"

Merlin was slightly taken aback. This voice sounded very familiar.

"Titus, are you awake?"

Merlin saw a familiar figure floating out from the illusion bead. Back then, Titus had been inspired by Aruba, and wished to develop the Mind Power's materialization, reversing the natural order. This was also the Eleventh-level of the Mind Power system that Merlin did not announce.

Currently, the Eleventh-level was only known to Merlin and Titus. In addition, both of them were merely at a phase of speculation. After all, this would surpass ultimate existences with the fearsome power of reversing the natural order!

"I've woken up long ago. I still haven't congratulated you in announcing the Mind Power system and becoming the Legend Glory!"

A smile emerged on Titus' face. In turned out that he had woken up long ago, just that he stayed in the illusion bead this entire time, not disturbing Merlin.

"How is it? You've disappeared for so long – have you learned it?"

Merlin knew that Titus had progressed even further than himself in the Mind Power system. After all, he had already started to condense an Illusory World while Merlin had only reached the realm of the Illusory Heart.

"Learn it?"

Titus shook his head powerlessly. "It's not that easy to materialize illusions as reality… I'm afraid there's no common method to this. It depends on the individual. In one Latitude Cosmo, chances of producing an ultimate existence are high but to surpass ultimate existences and reach Aruba's level, able to travel the infinite Latitude Cosmos, there's only Aruba who can do that. Therefore, the final Eleventh-level of the Mind Power system doesn't have a specific cultivation method or stages. I've thought it through, which is why I woke up to be by your side. Perhaps you can create a miracle."

"Create a miracle?"

Merlin laughed bitterly. Before this, he was awe-inspiring indeed. After becoming a contender with the Illusory Heart, he could control minds and practically altered the course of the battlefield by himself.

However, after a thorough examination of the battlefield's situation, Merlin knew that what he had accomplished did not hurt the Atlan civilization at all. The war would continue, and the Spell Caster civilization was still at a disadvantage.

Titus was unusually serious, saying hoarsely, "Merlin, you must believe in yourself. You becoming a wielder of the Illusory Heart is already a miracle. Even though I had placed great hopes on you at the start, I had no guarantee whether you can step into the realm of the Illusory Heart. Nonetheless, you did it! Other than me, you're the first one to step into the realm of the Illusory Heart!"

Of course, Merlin knew how difficult it was to attain the state of the Illusory Heart. He was a corroborator himself, verifying Titus' Mind Power system before slowly refining it, reaching a point where everyone could cultivate it.

"How do I solve the current problem? I can condense a Maxim avatar… Right, did you mention the Mind avatar?"

Merlin looked toward Titus.

"After reaching the stage of the Illusory Heart, you can condense a Mind avatar. You must already be able to control minds by now. In that case, it's very simple. You'll extract a portion of your emotions, which is a fragment of your mind. Moreover, it'd use up a huge amount of your Mind Power, and you'll need a long time to recover. Therefore, you can't create too many Mind avatars. One or two is about the limit.

"In addition, the Mind avatar possesses the state of your mind, which is the realm of the Illusory Heart, and able to control minds! Although it won't be as strong as you, it's sufficient to deal with most Legends or Honored Legends. The disadvantage is it won't have your Spell Caster powers and have limited ability to interact with the material plane. Its range of Mind control is also smaller."

Titus explained about the Mind avatar to Merlin in detail, causing Merlin's eyes to brighten.

"Not bad, not bad. Those disadvantages aren't much of a disadvantage. The Mind avatar is only used as a deterrence. Even if the Atlan civilization came to investigate, the Mind avatar won't reveal any loopholes in our plot. I'll condense a Mind avatar!"

Merlin had decided to consolidate a Mind avatar. With it keeping watch, he would not have to worry about the Atlan civilization making a sudden attack.

Following that, Titus thoroughly described the steps to condense a Mind avatar, especially how to extract a part of his emotions. In the past, Merlin might think that this was a fantastical tale. How could one possibly extract emotions?

However, after achieving the Illusory Heart, Merlin could easily understand and accomplish this task. He could distinctly sense his own emotions or the emotions of others. Peeling away part of his emotions was a piece of cake.

Merlin thought about it. Previously, his wave of enraged emotion had been the strongest, so he decided to strip it off. The stronger the emotion was, the more powerful the Illusory Heart of the condensed Mind avatar.

Furthermore, he was curious about how the Mind avatar would turn out in the end. Finally, after three days, Merlin's Mind avatar was tentatively created.

"Come out."

Merlin seemed to be talking to himself but soon, a figure abruptly exited from his body. This figure's force did not seem any different from Merlin's.

The only difference that one could point out was that this figure seemed to perpetually exude a frightening force of fury.

Chapter 765: The Matrix and the Warship's Brain

The Mind avatar!

When Merlin stared at this person who looked exactly like him, he suddenly broke out in laughter. This Mind avatar was just like an extension of his mind. Every movement of the avatar could be controlled by Merlin.

In short, it looked rather unique!

Fortunately, Merlin had achieved the stage of the Illusory Heart by now, and could control his opponent's mind. Therefore, when faced with his own peculiar Mind avatar, he was merely somewhat astonished, following which he relaxed and got used to it.

"No matter how far you are from this Mind avatar, you'd be able to feel it. In other words, he's another you. Once you die, this Mind avatar will die as well."

Merlin bobbed his head. This Mind avatar was Mind Power after all, and its force was the same as Merlin's. It possessed the state of the Illusory Heart as well and was a great help to the current Merlin.

It was a shame that just as Titus had said, condensing a Mind avatar came with a high cost. Merlin's Mind Power was clearly much weaker, needing a long time to recover.

"Merlin, within a short period, you won't be able to condense a Mind avatar anymore. Otherwise, you'd be injured to the core. Your current Mind Power is still a long way from me at my peak."

Titus spoke with disdain.

Nonetheless, Merlin simply shook his head with a slight smile. In the past, Titus had consolidated an Illusory World belonging to him. Naturally, Merlin was no match for him. It was a shame that Titus had been trapped in the Slothful Beast world. Though he had accomplished the Illusory World, he could not possibly leave the Slothful Beast's body.

Otherwise, Titus would not be obscure and unknown as he was now.

Three days had passed. Today should be the day Arcane Wizard Setoh's Darkness avatar brought Merlin away. However, Arcane Wizard Setoh's Maxim avatar still had not arrived. Merlin was in no rush, and used this time to enter the Spatial Ring, checking on the Atlan civilization's warship he had controlled on the battlefield.

His mind was constantly preoccupied with thoughts of the "void-level" warship the Atlan civilization was building. It was not enough to ask the Atlans. It was best if he could obtain relevant details from the warship's records.

Therefore, Merlin thought about the Matrix.

"I wonder if the Matrix is able to access the warship's information?"

Merlin thought about it and decided to give it a go. Therefore, two warships were placed together. First, Merlin picked a mere city-level warship.

"Matrix, read the data within the warship!"

Merlin commanded the Matrix in the empire-level warship.

"Beep beep beep."

The empire-level warship began to flicker with red lights, following which, unseen energy surged through the city-level warship. After a moment, the Matrix seemed to encounter some trouble.

"Obstructed by an intelligent program. Should I absorb the said program?"

The Matrix's voice rang out once more. Merlin was slightly shocked.

"An intelligent program?"

Only then did he recall that every warship of the Atlan civilization was equipped with a brain, which was, of course, an intelligent program. Previously, the Matrix was able to successfully control that empire-level warship because the warship had been broken, and the brain of that warship was destroyed long ago. Naturally, the Matrix could easily take over.

Now, faced with a city-level warship which brain was not at the high-level, the Matrix was still unable to control the warship.

"It can still absorb the intelligent program. If it does so, can it then read the warship's data? However, isn't that the same as destroying the warship's brain? Without the Matrix to take over, this warship would be useless…"

Merlin mumbled to himself. Nonetheless, the Matrix seemed more "human-like" and started to explain, "Absorbing the intelligent program wouldn't ruin the brain, merely lower the control level of the brain as necessary. Even so, the basic operations of the warship would be maintained."

Merlin raised an eyebrow. After such a long time of not contacting the Matrix, it seemed to be slightly different. However, as to what exactly was different, Merlin could not point that out at the moment.

After he considered for a moment, Merlin nodded. "Absorb."

Then, the warship immediately fell silent. Those Atlans were transfixed by Merlin's Hallucinating spell, so they knew nothing about what was going on.

Merlin looked wordlessly at the control desk in the city-level warship, noticing that it was blinking with red lights. Soon, the red lights gradually faded. At this point, it looked as if nothing special had changed.

"Beep. Absorption complete. You may choose to access the data or control the warship."

The Matrix's voice rang out once more. There were two choices – one was to read the information, the second was to control the warship. It looked like after the Matrix had absorbed the intelligent program of the city-level warship, it had completely conquered its brain, forcibly controlling the warship now.

This was another function of the Matrix.

Nevertheless, once it had controlled the warship, it was bound to wreck the warship's brain. Merlin felt it was a waste to leave the Matrix here to control this warship.

Therefore, Merlin shook his head. "Just read the data!"

To him, these warships under his control belonged to the battle strength of the Spell Caster civilization. He must not wreck them so easily. The Spell Caster civilization had a way to make these Atlans obediently operate the warship.

"Data reading complete!"

The Matrix's voice resounded again. Merlin was rather surprised that the Matrix was able to absorb other intelligent programs, and did not know what changes this would induce in the Matrix.

"Could it be like the black cat Didimoss?"

Merlin conceived of a bold notion, yet it was not impossible. The Void Zone was incomparably mystical. Since a living state like the black cat Didimoss could be produced, then a living state transformed from a series of intelligent programs was nothing in comparison.

Nonetheless, this was only Merlin's speculation. At the moment, the Matrix had not changed much, and would obey Merlin's order.

"Look for information regarding the void-level warship."

Merlin began to ask the Matrix to search the data it had just obtained from this city-level warship, hoping to get some information about the void-level warship.

"Search complete. There's no information about the void-level warship."

The Matrix's words surprised Merlin. However, after careful thought, it seemed possible. A top-secret matter like the void-level warship would not be known to everyone.

Still, Merlin controlled many warships, among which were plenty of empire-level warships. Thus, after storing the information from all the city-level warships, he still did not discover any data about the void-level warship.

Of course, the Matrix could similarly absorb all those intelligent programs. Thereafter, Merlin started to search through the data of the empire-level warships. The intelligent programs of empire-level warships were evidently stronger. The Matrix had to use a long time to absorb them, obtaining the information of the empire-level warships.

There was a succession of data from empire-level warships. After the Matrix had absorbed these intelligent programs, it seemed to become stronger. Most programs of the empire-level warships were not a match for the Matrix, which could easily absorb them.

However, though the Matrix had benefitted from this, the information on the void-level warship that Merlin required was still nowhere to be found. Among the warships he had controlled, whether it was city-level or empire-level warships, had nothing useful in their databanks.

"The Atlan civilization is cautious indeed. Although I can't find anything in the databanks of these warships, it proves that this is a classified matter. It's certain to be the Atlan civilization's biggest secret!"

Merlin's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. Although he had searched busily the entire day, he still did not find any information on the void-level warship. Still, this only strengthened his conviction. The void-level warship was the Atlan civilization's most classified secret, and only a small group of people would know about it.

"Merlin, it's time."

Suddenly, Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice came from outside. It was time for Merlin to leave with Arcane Wizard Setoh!

Chapter 766: Trump Card

"Whoosh."

Merlin flew out from his room, and spotted Arcane Wizard Setoh in the sky. It was not an avatar but the real Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Wizard Setoh."

Merlin greeted respectfully.

"Wizard Merlin, it's about time. Let's go, bid farewell to the other two Arcane Wizards!"

Merlin trailed behind Arcane Wizard Setoh, flying into the distance. In a short moment, they had reached a splendid living room. Currently, there were no other Spell Casters, save for Arcane Wizard Ceci and Arcane Wizard Augustus.

"Setoh, Legend Glory, are you ready to leave?"

Augustus glanced at Merlin and Arcane Wizard Setoh, asking calmly.

"That's right, we're ready."

Arcane Wizard Setoh replied softly.

Merlin hesitated before finally taking a step forward. "Three Arcane Wizards, I shall leave behind the warships of the Atlan civilization which I had control. I believe we can easily control the Atlans, using them to operate the warships, thus increasing our strength!"

Merlin was leaving behind the warships he had controlled.

Augustus nodded with a hint of a smile. Naturally, he knew how powerful these warships were. Merlin was able to leave them here, which would truly increase the Spell Caster civilization's strength.

"Moreover, I've consolidated an avatar but it's not a Maxim avatar but a Mind avatar! He even possesses a portion of my Mind Control power. So, even after I've left, this Mind avatar can replace me, wielding the technique of Mind Control."

Merlin's words made the three Arcane Wizards gasped in surprise as they turned toward him in a hurry.

Merlin laughed, after which a figure suddenly split from his body. This figure was dressed in the same clothes, and even had the same force. Not even the three Arcane Wizards could differentiate him from Merlin.

"Haha, not bad at all. We're worried that after you leave, what would we do if the Atlan civilization suddenly makes an attack. Now it seems like we've worried for nothing. Merlin, can you condense more avatars like this one?"

Augustus recognized the value of Merlin's avatar at a glance. In sufficient numbers, was it not equivalent to having additional Mind Power Masters with Mind Control?

However, Merlin shook his head with a bitter smile. "I wish to create more avatars too, but for now, I can only condense one. I might be able to condense more in the future, but not now. If I do so, I would lose more than I gain."

Augustus was slightly disappointed but he was after all an Ultimate Arcane Wizard. Naturally, he knew that with an avatar like this, even one was rare and precious. How could one possibly create more avatars so casually?

"Very well, Wizard Merlin. You'll go with Setoh. The three of us will help conceal your force. The Lord God of Light won't discover your stealthy departure. Moreover, you still have this avatar. Haha, this time, when you all leave secretly, you'll be much safer."

The three Arcane Wizards knew that the Lord God of Light hated Merlin to his core. Naturally, they had thought of a countermeasure. After all, if Merlin was constantly scrutinized by an ultimate existence, it would be troublesome.

With Merlin's Mind avatar, they could fool the Lord God of Light, which would increase the safety of Setoh and Merlin's departure.

The three Arcane Wizards joined forces to utilize the power of the natural order, unceasingly sealing it over Merlin. Soon, Merlin's Maxim fluctuations had vanished completely.

As long as Merlin did not mobilize his Mind Power to cast Hallucinating spells, even if he was near the Lord God of Light, he would not be detected through his force.

"Alright, we're absolutely safe! We hope that you'll be successful in this endeavor…"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar was leaving with Merlin. They were carrying the hopes of the three Arcane Wizards. The current situation could only be maintained for a period. Ultimately, the Spell Caster civilization would be unable to hold off the alliance of three forces.

Therefore, they could only hope for the support of other powerful civilizations!

"Merlin, let's go."

At an unknown time, another black-robed Arcane Wizard Setoh had appeared by Merlin's side. Nonetheless, this was not the real Arcane Wizard Setoh but a Darkness avatar of his.

Merlin nodded, after which the three Arcane Wizards combined forces to wield the power of the natural order, which instantly enveloped Merlin and Arcane Wizard Setoh's Darkness avatar, sending them outward…"Swoosh."

In the pitch-black icy Void Zone, a dazzling beam of light flashed out of nowhere, encasing two black-robed figures.

"Where is this?"

Merlin frowned as he asked. He had never come to this place.

"We should still be within the territory of the Spell Caster civilization."

Beside him, the black-robed Arcane Wizard Setoh spoke in a cold voice.

Merlin did not find this strange. After all, this was Arcane Wizard Setoh's Maxim avatar, which inherited the cold nature of Darkness element. Therefore, even his voice was icy.

"We're still within the Spell Casters' territory?" Merlin carefully perceived his surroundings, his Mind Power swiftly expanding outward. Still, he did not see any dimensions. In the Spell Caster civilization, most dimensions were close to each other. It would not be so empty that there was not a single dimension.

"This is near the God Alliance, usually guarded by Augustus! The gods' power is to arouse zeal in people's hearts. They rely upon the spirits of millions and millions of creatures to become strong. Thus, any dimension close to them would more or less be affected. That's why the dimensions here have been moved away by Augustus, leaving only Augustus Arcane City. Nonetheless, because a war with the Atlan civilization has erupted, Augustus Arcane City was moved as well, so of course, this place is empty."

Although the black-robed Setoh's voice was frosty, he was not much different from the real Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Even Arcane City was moved away… Without Wizard Augustus keeping watch, surely the God Alliance will become restless and eager?"

Merlin thought to himself. The Spell Caster civilization now faced danger on all sides. Before this, they could grow so rapidly because of the support of the three Arcane Wizards.

Currently, once the war had erupted with some powerful civilization and the three Arcane Wizards were not there to keep an eye, the surrounding formidable civilizations would stir restlessly. The most dangerous one was the God Alliance.

Fortunately, the God Alliance was not a unified entity. Therefore, for a short while, it would not be the Spell Caster civilization's opponent.

"Wizard Setoh, did the three Arcane Wizards not prepare for this at all? Back then, if I hadn't broken through to the Illusory Heart and couldn't control minds, wouldn't the situation have collapsed completely?"

Merlin thought back to the battle back then. There was no Spell Caster who would not suffer post-traumatic stress. At that point, faced with the Atlan civilization's warships, and the combined fighters from the Rock Tribe and the Light Believers below ultimate existences, the Spell Caster civilization did not have the upper hand, and was even in a losing position.

It was when Merlin had broken through to the Illusory Heart and controlled minds that altered the unfavorable situation in one stroke!

"Prepare? How could we possibly be unprepared? However, this preparation is connected to you."

"Connected to me?"

Merlin shook his head, confused as to how the Spell Caster civilization's crucial trump card could be linked to him.

"Back then, if you didn't break through, we can only send out Didimoss in advance. Didimoss is a living creature which reverses the natural order. In the past years, under the focused nurturing of us three Arcane Wizards, he has improved rapidly at an unimaginable pace. Moreover, his innate ability is even more fearsome. We have no way of knowing how terrifying Didimoss would become in the end. For now, he truly can reverse, in one move, the course of events below ultimate existences!"

"So it's Didimoss…"

Merlin had not seen Didimoss for a long time. Back then, Didimoss was taken away by Arcane Wizard Setoh. Merlin knew that the three Great Arcane Wizards wanted to nurture Didimoss singularly.

However, he had never expected that Didimoss would be so highly valued by the three Arcane Wizards. He did not know how amazing the current Didimoss would be.

"Please be rest assured. When we return to Arcane City, you'll be able to meet Didimoss once more."

As if he could sense Merlin's thoughts, the black-robed Setoh said in a low voice.

"Return to Arcane City? That's right, we'll surely be able to return to Arcane City!"

Merlin glanced toward the direction of Arcane City, then followed behind the black-robed Setoh. They swiftly headed toward the depths of the black icy Void Zone…

Chapter 767: The Slothful Beast and the Sea of Fire!

Merlin and the black-robed Wizard Setoh flew without using casting tools. Near the God Alliance, it was easy to be detected when using casting tools.

However, this speed was too slow.

"Wizard Setoh, why don't we enter the Atlan civilization warship? We're going too slow."

"Warship?"

Under Wizard Setoh's doubtful gaze, Merlin took out the empire-level warship controlled by the Matrix out from his ring. This warship was incredibly fast. After all, it was an empire-level warship from the Atlan civilization, and was comparable to Honored Legends.

"There are no Elemental fluctuations on this warship, so those gods won't detect it. Very well, we'll use this warship to travel."

Wizard Setoh considered but did not refuse, and flew into the warship immediately. After all, there was not much time left for the Spell Caster civilization. They had to get support as soon as possible and return to Arcane City immediately.

Merlin also flew into the control room of the warship. He was preparing to give orders to the Matrix when he realized that they did not know where they were going this time.

"Wizard Setoh, where are we going?"

Merlin had no idea which civilizations were closer to the Spell Caster civilization.

There were no civilizations that were close to the Spell Caster civilization. The Spell Caster civilization was alone when it rose. Generally, civilizations that had ultimate existences were alone when they rose.

No one would be willing to see an emerging powerful civilization that possessed ultimate existences.

However, Wizard Setoh had already decided where to go. A smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Go to the Giant Tribe!"

"The Giant Tribe?"

Merlin frowned. In his eyes, the Giants were fierce and short-tempered. It was not a good idea to go to the Giant Tribe.

"Although the Giants have short temper, they had conflicts with the Rock Tribe before hence this is the best chance. Since the Rock Tribe isn't a living tribe, their civilization is full of death. The Giant tribe is a living tribe, and fought with the Rock Tribe. That's enough reason for them to side with us!"

Merlin nodded. Wizard Setoh said it easily but Merlin knew that it would not be easy to persuade the Titan Giant.

However, they had no other options, and could only try their best. Otherwise, the Spell Caster civilization would truly be in peril.

"By the way Wizard Setoh, where's the Giant Tribe's Titan Dimension? I don't have a detailed dimension map."

Wizard Setoh took out a dimension map. He had naturally been prepared.

"Matrix, scan."

After the Matrix had scanned the dimension map, Merlin ordered, "Go to the Titan Dimension."

The warship began to shake lightly. It was caused by the startup of the engine. However, the shaking soon disappeared, and the speed of the warship rose wildly.

Wizard Setoh looked out of the warship and nodded. "The Atlan civilization really is unique. This warship is very convenient, much more than our casting tools."

Merlin hardly needed to do anything to operate the warship. Each civilization took a different path but there were still some aspects that were worth learning from. For example, if Spell Casters drew from the Atlan civilization warships, the casting tools refined might become much faster.

Merlin looked and saw that the warship still had a high energy supply, enough to reach the Titan Dimension. It might take half a year to reach but it was not a long time for Spell Casters."Hum."

The warship shook slightly, waking up Merlin from the Illusory World. He had been in the Illusory World discussing with Titus about the Mind Power system.

"You're awake."

Merlin glanced at Wizard Setoh. He had long been awake but his eyes were always fixed outside the warship.

At this time, Merlin realized that a faint light had appeared unknowingly from the outside. The light became brighter as if it could illuminate the entire Void Zone.

"What's going on? Matrix, what's happening in front?"

Merlin hurriedly asked the Matrix.

The Matrix controlled the entire warship, so it would know best what was happening outside.

"A large amount of energy is being emitted. Detected a terrifying unknown being. Danger! Slow down immediately!"

"Stop!"

Merlin quickly stopped the Matrix. At this moment, even the entire warship began to feel burning hot.

"Swoosh."

Arcane Wizard Setoh stood up, his eyes fixed to the front. Merlin and Arcane Wizard Setoh could both see that in the vast Void Zone, lay an incomparably large beast.

"A Slothful Beast?"

Merlin was stunned. He was extremely familiar with the Slothful Beast. In the past, he had been swallowed into the body of a Slothful Beast. If not for Arcane Wizard Setoh's intervention, Merlin might still be stuck inside.

Therefore, after seeing the Slothful Beast, Merlin secretly felt fear. He wanted nothing more than to turn around and stay as far away as possible from the Slothful Beast.

"Wizard Setoh, it's a Slothful Beast. We should hurry away."

Merlin saw Wizard Setoh staring intently at the Slothful Beast, and reminded him.

Wizard Setoh's gaze became more solemn. He pointed at the Slothful Beast in front of them and said, "What's that in front of the Slothful Beast?"

"In front of the Slothful Beast?"

Merlin followed Arcane Wizard Setoh's eyes, and carefully looked at the Slothful Beast.

The beast's head seemed to be at the side, with its back facing Merlin's warship. Its huge head seemed to be submerged in a sea of fire, and upon closer look, one could see a terrifying country filled with flames everywhere, as wide as at least a dozen dimensions.

"Since when did the Void Zone have a mysterious place like this that even the Slothful Beast can't struggle out from?"

Merlin was shocked to realize that the Slothful Beast seemed to have been sucked in by the flames, and could not break free.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the Slothful Beast struggled violently, and that terrifying power even affected Merlin's warship. The roars caused Merlin's Mind Power to feel like they were about to collapse.

"What the hell is this place?"

Merlin looked at Arcane Wizard Setoh but even this grand ultimate existence shook his head. He did not know what this place was either. He was also shocked. The Slothful Beast was a terrifying being in the Void Zone. In the past, even when the Three Great Arcane Wizards had attacked the Slothful Beast together, they could not do anything about it. It showed just how frightening the Slothful Beast was.

However, now, it seemed that this strange sea of fire could make the Slothful Beast extremely fearful.

"Go, run!"

Wizard Setoh seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately urged Merlin to leave.

Merlin also immediately turned the warship around and flew away, but it was already too late. The moment the Slothful Beast struggled, the flames exploded violently as if turning into a huge mouth larger than the Slothful Beast, and swallowed the Slothful Beast in one bite.

The Slothful Beast disappeared, and at the same time, the flames grew even larger and spread in all directions. Then, a strong suctioning force was released. Merlin's warship had just activated and was firmly sucked backward.

"Leave the warship. We'll escape ourselves!"

Wizard Setoh made a split-second decision, and immediately left the warship. He flew away forcefully by relying on his Maxim.

Merlin also immediately kept the warship into his ring, and Maxim Chains instantly rose, encircling his entire body. He frantically escaped with all his strength.

"Boom."

Just as the two Wizards rejoiced that they had escaped from that strange inferno, an ear-piercing sound rang out. Then, a shocking scene occurred. The sea of fire seemed to explode, and the terrible aftershocks swept all directions.

In an instant, Merlin and Wizard Setoh were swept away. Their figures disappeared without a trace into the sea of flames.

Chapter 768: A Strange World!

The blazing temperature scorched the earth, turning the space into a stove. Three suns were hanging in the sky.

It was the first time Merlin and Wizard Setoh had encountered such a strange dimension.

When they came to, they were lying on the ground staring up at a sky. They had been unconscious but they both knew that they had been sucked into the terrifying sea of fire at the Void Zone and ended up in this strange dimension.

"No Elements."

Merlin said in a low voice. He tried his best to sense Elements but there were none. Fortunately, neither Merlin nor Setoh needed the support of Elements since they had Maxims.

"Thankfully the natural order is present here. However, its influence seems to be very weak…"

As an ultimate existence, although Wizard Setoh was just an avatar of an ultimate existence, and could not use the power of the natural order, he could still feel its power.

Therefore, he immediately sensed the power of the natural order. Fortunately, the power of the natural order still existed. However, it seemed that it was greatly restricted. What place could hinder the power of the natural order?

So far, Arcane Wizard Setoh had only heard of one place that could block the power of the natural order, and that was the Atlan Dimension. He did not know how the Atlan Dimension was formed either, to be able to block the power of the natural order, and cause even ultimate existences to hesitate on entering.

That was because once they had entered, ultimate existences would no longer be able to sense the power of the natural order, and their strength would drop greatly.

"What is this place?"

Merlin did not know, and neither did Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Be careful. The Void Zone is vast. If it were my real body, there wouldn't be much danger. However, I'm only a Maxim avatar now, so it's better to be cautious."

Arcane Wizard Setoh was being very cautious as he was only an avatar.

"Would there be sapient beings in a place like this?"

Looking at the acrid land, Merlin found it hard to believe that there were intelligent lifeforms in a place like this. This place was much more different than many dimensions.

"Boom."

Just as Merlin had finished speaking, a loud sound rang out. Merlin's Mind Power quickly extended out, and his mouth fell open as his expression changed into shock.

He had just said there would not be any sapient creatures but right now, under a small hill not far away, there was a large beast with two curved horns.

"Let's go and have a look."

Arcane Wizard Setoh and Merlin swiftly flew over. It was indeed a living creature, and its living characteristics were very vibrant. Its body's surface temperature was incredibly high, and was even accompanied by flames.

Presumably, this was a special creature created by this unique environment.

This monster was walking slowly when it suddenly seemed to have noticed something. Then, it started to run as if there was danger behind it.

"Merlin, above us!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh pointed above them. Sure enough, there was an even larger bird flying in the sky. It seemed to have found the monster on the ground, and was wildly chasing after it.

The two beasts were both very large and possessed great strength. Merlin and Wizard Setoh did not act without thinking and continued to follow behind the monster.

Around two hours later, Merlin and Wizard Setoh had followed the beasts for an unknown distance, and finally saw a lush forest in front of them.

"Hoo…"

The weather had been blazing hot but the sky rapidly became overcast with dark clouds, and rain started pouring down like a torrent. Soon, the dry land was covered with rain. Merlin and Wizard Setoh had Maxims to protect themselves with, so they were naturally unafraid of this storm.

The bird in the sky watched the beast gradually run into the dense forest. It seemed unsettled, and circled in mid-air for some time but eventually flew away after it found that it could not do anything more.

"There's plenty of rain here, and the trees are all very tall."

Wizard Setoh and Merlin were constantly observing this world. Since there were a forest and even fierce beasts, it was very likely that there was intelligent life as well, which might even develop into a strange civilization.

After all, no one would have expected that a civilization like the Rock Tribe would have developed into such a powerful civilization.

This world's environment was also unique, so a civilization nurtured by it would certainly be unique as well. However, no one knew how powerful contenders from this world would be. Perhaps they would be able to estimate slightly judging by those beasts.

"Wizard Setoh, I'll catch that beast and see how unique the strength of this world is."

Merlin was somewhat eager.

Wizard Setoh considered and said, "I'll go with you. There might be some unknown dangers hidden in this dense forest."

Wizard Setoh was still worried about Merlin.

"Then, let's go together."

Merlin and Setoh immediately entered the thick forest.

Just as they had entered the forest, they felt a cold and damp force. It was completely different from the scorching hot force outside.

Merlin's Mind Power had been continuously tracking that beast, so they gound it easily.

"It's in front of us. We must chase after it quickly. That beast isn't slow."

Merlin's body was wrapped with Maxim Chains. He did not dare to be careless in this unknown environment. Wizard Setoh was the same. He was also wrapped in a Darkness Maxim. However, Merlin could feel that this Darkness Maxim was very different from his own Darkness Maxim. There seemed to be a faint feeling of suppression.

It was purely a feeling but Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar was comparable to a Lord. He was purely a Maxim avatar, and only had a Darkness Maxim. However, as he was an Ultimate Arcane Wizard's Maxim avatar, even without the power of the natural order, his Darkness Maxim had incorporated some of Arcane Wizard Setoh's understanding about the natural order.

Therefore, although Arcane Wizard Setoh only had an ultimate Maxim, it was comparable to a Lord. His understanding of the natural order was even more valuable than an ultimate Maxim.

Some powerful Lords might have reached the conditions needed to fuse Maxims but failed to fuse them because their understanding of the natural order was inferior to true ultimate existences.

Merlin did not know anything about ultimate existences. Although Aruba had warned Merlin before not to fuse Maxims, it was never wrong to understand more.

"We caught up to it. It's right ahead!"

Merlin and Arcane Wizard Setoh finally chased the beast to a waterfall. Under the waterfall was a small stream. The two figures floated in the air, and Wizard Setoh acted first.

"Whoosh."

The Darkness Maxim immediately turned into a large palm and shot toward the huge beast. However, the beast seemed to sense that it was in danger and opened its mouth wide, and a blazing force spewed out.

It was flames. The flames were blue, and although it did not have the power of a Maxim, it was close to it, which shocked Merlin and Setoh.

"A mere beast can have power close to a Maxim?"

Maxims were legends. The beast did not look particularly powerful, and it was even chased by a bird earlier. From its appearance, it did not seem to have strength close to a Legend.

"Bang."

Although the blue flames spewed by the beast had power close to a Maxim, there was still a big gap compared to Wizard Setoh's Darkness Maxim. His Darkness Maxim easily extinguished the blue fire and firmly grasped the beast.

"Whiz whiz whiz."

Suddenly, three flames turned into sharp arrows and fell from the sky, directly shooting at Merlin and Setoh. The power contained in them clearly reached Legendary level.

Merlin and Setoh both looked up and saw that the bird from before had appeared again. Furthermore, it brought along two other birds as well. There were even three figures clad in strange clothing standing on their backs.

Chapter 769: Encounter

"Bang."

Merlin's Maxim Chains directly shattered the three flame arrows. The arrows disintegrated into tiny sparks and disappeared in mid-air.

The three figures in the sky were surprised, and immediately flew the birds down.

After the three came down, they said something to Merlin and Setoh. However, Merlin and Setoh did not understand their language and remained confused even after they had finished speaking.

Merlin carefully observed the three beings who were around the same height as Spell Casters. However, their skin was slightly red, and in the middle of their foreheads was a marking of a flame, which was very special.

The three birds seemed to have been tamed by the three men. The beast that they were "monitoring" earlier had been killed by Wizard Setoh, which might have caused a dispute.

Merlin did not understand their language but that did not hinder him from communicating with them.

"Who are you?"

Merlin directly projected his Mind Power into the other party's consciousness. He could speak into his Awareness without using language.

"Huh? You're not from our Flare Nation, and neither are you from the Flame Nation. You don't have the flame imprint, so you're not even from Flare Region. Who are you?"

Hearing Merlin's "words", the man looked at Merlin in surprise. However, Merlin already knew what he wanted to say in his mind.

"Matrix, collect their language vocabulary!"

Merlin told the Matrix to collect the language of these men so he could compare it to the Molta language. With Merlin and Setoh's ability, it would be easy for them to learn the language.

Merlin hesitated for a moment before discussing with Wizard Setoh.

"Wizard Setoh, these men may be the native civilization of this strange world. Judging by those birds they rode on as well as the move they had demonstrated earlier, I'm afraid they aren't a weak civilization. Why don't we learn about this world through them?"

Merlin and Setoh stood at the peak of the Void Zone. Although Merlin was not a Lord, he was even more terrifying than a Lord when facing intelligent lifeforms.

Therefore, although this world might have some secrets, unless under great dangerous circumstances, they would not be afraid of anything.

Thus, Wizard Setoh also nodded, and let Merlin talk to them.

"Who we are isn't important. You're from the Flare Nation? Why did you attack us earlier?"

Maxim Chains appeared one by one on Merlin's body, causing the three men to immediately feel nervous. Their attack earlier had been easily neutralized by Merlin's Maxim Chains. Even now, at close distance, they could feel danger from Merlin and Setoh.

"Yes, we're children from the Flare Nation royal family. We were hunting in our royal forest when you killed our prey. You should know that no one can enter the royal forest except members of the royal family. I won't ask how you entered the royal forest. However, the fact that you were able to enter proves that you're not ordinary. Our Flare Nation is currently recruiting powerful beings. If you follow us and have an audience with His Majesty the King, and obtain his recognition, no matter who you are, this intrusion into the royal forest would be pardoned. What do you think?"

The child of the Flame Nation royal family seemed to have no interest in who Merlin and Setoh were. He simply recommended them to the King of the Flare Nation.

Merlin and Setoh glanced at each other. A strong and special civilization had already developed here. They seemed to be the Flare Nation and the Flame Nation. However, the Flare Nation must have been having trouble recently, so they were recruiting contenders.

This was a good opportunity to understand the Flare Nation. Of course, this was also a very dangerous matter. After all, contenders had surely populated important areas. If this was a powerful civilization, Merlin and Setoh might be in danger.

"I'm just a Maxim avatar, so it doesn't matter even if I'm lost. However, Wizard Merlin, you must be careful. I'm sure you know that now we've left the Spell Caster civilization, a Maxim avatar like me isn't of much use. Your safety is the most important. If something happens to the Spell Caster civilization, you'd be our final hope…"

Wizard Setoh did not care about danger at all. First, those who would be able to kill his avatar would at least be beings that were the top among Lords. After all, he was an avatar of an ultimate existence.

He did not care about his own safety but it was different for Merlin. The Three Great Arcane Wizards regarded Merlin as having the potential to become the fourth ultimate existence of the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, taking Merlin away this time was to protect Merlin, just as Merlin had guessed.

Thus, Merlin's safety was the highest priority for Wizard Setoh.

Merlin smiled and said, "Wizard Setoh, you don't have to worry about my safety. If we were somewhere without any human habitation, then I might have been in trouble. However, that's the Flare Nation palace. The more people there are, the safer I am. Isn't that right?"

Merlin pointed at the three men at the side, and Wizard Setoh also glanced over following his finger. He realized that the three men's eyes were glazed over. They were clearly under Merlin's control.

This showed that Merlin's method of controlling minds was still usable to the intelligent creatures of this world. The more beings there were, and places where there were more contenders, were exactly places where Merlin was safest.

"Yes, I almost forgot that Wizard Merlin is the Legend Glory!"

Wizard Setoh smiled. In a sense, Merlin was the Legend Glory, and his strength was no less powerful than him as a Maxim avatar.

"Alright, we'll go to the Flare Nation. Let's see what kind of civilization was nurtured here."

This strange civilization had several suns in the sky, and the entire world seemed to be a stove. A civilization birthed by such a unique environment would be unique as well.

Merlin agreed to the three men, and they smiled from above the birds' backs. In their view, they had just recruited two contenders for His Majesty the King. After all, those who were able to neutralize their attack were certainly not simple. They were all prodigies in the imperial city. Otherwise, they would not dare to enter the royal forest either.

Merlin voluntarily initiated conversation with the three men, allowing the Matrix to accumulate enough vocabulary to master the language. With Merlin and Setoh's capabilities, it was easy to master a language. Before long, they could converse with the three men in their language.

Through conversation, Merlin learned that the three men were children from the Flare Nation royal family. The leader was called Flarong, a prodigy belonging to a branch of the royal family. They decided to come to the imperial city because of the recent crisis the entire kingdom was facing.

"Crisis? Is it the Flame Nation?"

Merlin recalled the Flame Nation that the three men had mentioned multiple times. It seemed that this entire continent was only ruled by these two huge nations.

"I know very well that your origins are unknown. You don't have to ask me anything else. Just follow me to have an audience with His Majesty the King. Right now, the kingdom is thirsty for talent. As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter if you're a homicidal maniac as all your crimes will be pardoned! Therefore, no matter how unimaginable your origins are, as long as you have the strength, the kingdom would accept you. At that time, you'll naturally know everything!"

Flarong spoke to Merlin and Setoh with a smile that did not seem like a smile. He naturally knew that their origins were very strange but he did not care. The kingdom was currently recruiting prodigies, and there were more than plenty of suspicious beings. It did not matter if that amount increased by two as long as they had adequate strength.

Merlin did not control their minds to force the three men to say what they knew either. As Flarong said, once they had reached the palace, and met the King, and as long as they had enough strength, then there would be no problem. It would not be too late for them to slowly understand then.

Chapter 770: The Flare Nation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Flarong soon brought Merlin and Setoh to the capital of the Flare Nation!

It was called Flare City, and from a distance, it looked like a mass of flame or a sea of fire. There was a faint but formless force shrouding the entire city.

"This is Flare City?"

Merlin asked softly. Flare City was not simple at all. The hidden protective layer had made him feel slightly troubled. Only someone comparable to an Honored Legend would be able to make that.

Wizard Setoh's expression was also grave as he said, "Be careful. This civilization isn't simple!"

Flarong easily flew the three birds in the sky, and swiftly landed outside a palace. The three then jumped down.

"Gentlemen, let's go. This is where His Majesty the King recruits contenders."

As they followed Flarong into the palace, they found around twenty to thirty people had gathered, all with a fire marking on their foreheads. Therefore, Merlin and Setoh were very conspicuous when they arrived.

However, Flarong, who was leading Merlin and Setoh, seemed to be quite extraordinary. Many of them looked at him respectfully.

"Wait here, you two. They all also volunteered to be recruited."

Everyone could hear the sarcasm in Flarong's voice as he spoke.

Indeed, when Merlin's Mind Power swept casually, although he was unsure what the strength of those people was, he could feel their general strength and knew that none of them were stronger than Flarong.

Soon, a dignified man in a magnificent robe emerged from the inner court. The people rose slightly and shouted, "Your Majesty the King!"

It turned out that this dignified man was the King. The fire marking on his forehead was more vivid, and flashed with a faint golden light, making it appear very special.

"What a strong life force. I'm afraid he's comparable to an Honored Legend!"

Merlin and Wizard Setoh glanced at each other. For the first time in this world, they had sensed an existence that was comparable to an Honored Legend. However, Flarong already mentioned earlier that not only was the King an extremely powerful person but he was also one of the most powerful in the Flare Nation.

Therefore, Merlin also generally deduced that the strongest contenders in the Flare Nation should be comparable to Honored Legend. Furthermore, there were certainly more than one.

"Looks like the Flare Continent produced many contenders!"

Merlin murmured softly. He already knew that this continent was called the Flare Continent, and everyone belonged to it. The enemy, Flame Nation, used to be part of the Flare Nation in the past but was split up for some reason.

There was more than one existence comparable to an Honored Legend in the Flare Nation, which was quite amazing for a civilization. In the Golden Light Tribe, there was only one existence comparable to an Honored Legend, Maya.

Therefore, Honored Legends were extremely difficult to produce. Once they were produced, a civilization would no longer be considered weak. The Flare Nation could have an existence comparable to an Honored Legend, and there was more than one. There might even be more powerful beings.

"I'll check with my Mind Power!"

Merlin's Mind Power immediately stretched out and investigated the entire Flare City. Although his Mind Power was not powerful enough to check the entire Flare Continent, it was more than enough for a mere city.

"Oh? There are three life forces no weaker than this King!"

Merlin's Mind Power was formless. Even in the Void Zone, it would be very difficult for foreign tribes to detect his Mind Power, let alone such a special world.

No one was aware of Merlin's Mind Power. Thus, he detected three beings comparable to Honored Legends. Including the King, it would be four in total!

"Just Flare City itself has four beings comparable to Honored Legends. They're considered strong… Merlin, are you sure there isn't anyone stronger?"

Wizard Setoh asked repeatedly, appearing very cautious.

Merlin hesitated for a moment as if checking again, and nodded, "I'm sure, unless someone can completely shy away from my sensing, but that's almost impossible. I'm sure there are only four beings comparable to Honored Legends in Flare City."

If Merlin had not broken through the Illusory Heart realm, then four Honored Legends would be hard to suppress just by using Mind Power. However, since he had broken through, it did not matter how many Honored Legends there were.

Wizard Setoh also breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes were fixed on the King, and a smile appeared on his lips. "This King must know a lot of things but we won't make any moves for the time being. Let's see how they recruit contenders first."

In an unfamiliar environment, Wizard Setoh still chose to be cautious. With their strength, even if they did something earth-shattering, it would not matter much.

"Everyone, the Flare Nation is facing troubles now. I'm very happy that all of you have the courage to enlist to be contenders for my royal family. As long as you're strong enough, no matter what you did in the past, no matter what identity you have, the royal family will not investigate! However, the royal family is recruiting contenders, so there must be a screening. I've reared some one-horned fire beasts. If you can defeat them, then you shall pass. How does that sound?"

The King's tone was very calm. It was clearly not the first time he had encountered volunteers.

"One-horned fire beast? Alright, I'll go first!"

Many people had never heard of a one-horned fire beast before so a burly man with a fire marking on his head shouted first.

"Very well. Release the one-horned fire beast. We'll do it here."

As soon as the King finished speaking, a terrifying beast covered in flames was released.

This fire beast seemed to have no true body, and only consisted of endless flames. The power it emitted was almost as strong as the birds that Flarlong and the others rode.

"Roar…"

The one-horned fire beast gave a loud roar. It opened its mouth slightly, and flames instantly turned into a net of fire and enveloped the burly man.

The fire marking on the man's forehead flashed brightly, and strong power burst out but it seemed to have no effect. He was instantly drowned by the fire beast's flames.

Dead!

The burly man died so easily. This fire beast had reached the level of Legend. Some people were already trembling with fear.

The King's face was cold. Ever since the recruitment order was issued, all types of people wanted to volunteer. It was now time to let them know that not anyone could be easily recruited.

If you did not have enough strength, then there would only be death!

"Who's next? Who else wants to try?"

The King's icy gaze swept through the crowd, only to see many people retreating, their expressions full of fear. No one dared to step forward again.

"Useless. All useless!"

At first, the King seemed to be very restrained but he suddenly exploded. The Flare Nation was in trouble, and he even began to publicly recruit contenders.

However, at present, only a few contenders had been recruited. Most of the time was like this – the people only volunteered, hoping to try their luck and get recruited by the royal family.

"Did you think getting recruited by the royal family would be that easy?"

The King's tone was icy as he waved his hand. The terrifying fire beast gave a sharp roar and started to madly attack the people in the hall as if it could swallow several people in one bite.

Immediately, the hall was filled with shrieks and cries.

"Roar…"

The fire beast was very excited. With a roar, its eyes fixed on Merlin and Setoh, and its raging flames immediately surrounded them.

Merlin glanced at Flarong, whose eyes were calm as he remained silent. He must be watching how Merlin and Setoh would react. After all, the royal family was recruiting contenders!

"Let's move!"

Setoh suddenly raised his head. However, he did not look at the fire beast. Instead, he stared directly at the King coldly.

Chapter 771: The Flare Region World!

"Hm?"

His Majesty the King also seemed to feel something, and his eyes looked at Setoh fiercely. At this time, the dark force on Setoh's body grew more intense but he did not move yet.

The one who moved was Merlin!

"Bang."

With a wave of his hand, Merlin whipped the ferocious fire beast away, turning it into little flames. It seemed that this fire beast was completely made of flames. It was indeed a strange being.

However, Merlin's Maxim Chain was an ultimate Maxim. That fire beast naturally did not stand a chance.

After easily killing the fire beast, Merlin's gaze turned to the King. Setoh and his target was not the fire beast but the strong King here.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. We have some things we would like to ask you!"

Merlin sailed with a smile but his formless Mind Power had already instantly enveloped the King.

The King had noticed something was wrong, and his body immediately burned with flames, rushing out wildly just like a fire god-demon. The terrifying inferno seemed to burn down the entire hall.

"Who are you? Are you spies from the Flame Nation?"

The terrifying fire god-demon let out a loud roar, attacking Merlin and Setoh's minds. However, Merlin was someone who could control minds, and Setoh was the avatar of an ultimate existence. How would they be afraid of a king?

Merlin did not answer, and instead approached the King step by step. At the side, Flarong seemed to have noticed something wrong as well. He immediately stepped forward, and the fire marking on his forehead released a terrifying force comparable to a Legend with at least two Maxims.

"What are you trying to do?"

Merlin smiled and said, "Thank you for bringing us here to His Majesty the King, Flarong. We only have some things we want the King to answer."

"Impudent! You…"

Before Flarong finished speaking, Merlin waved his hand lightly, and the expression on his face cooled down. He had instantly used Mind Power to control Flarong.

Flarong's eyes became dull as he obediently retreated.

Besides Flarong, the others around the King had also become dazed and gently backed off as if opening up a path for Merlin. Setoh stood outside the gate, keeping an eye out.

"Who the hell are you?"

At this moment, the King also seemed to realize that these two were unusual. The terrifying fire god-demon had also stopped roaring.

"What a strange power. It's not a Maxim. Just by relying on the power of pure flames, it's already comparable to an Honored Legend…"

Merlin looked at the fire god-demon cast by the King. That vast and mighty force could indeed tear apart an Honored Legend's ultimate Maxim. It was comparable to an Honored Legend.

This was the unique power system produced in this world. It was completely different from the Spell Caster system. It would be impossible to understand its foundation in a short time.

However, Merlin did not want to understand its foundation. He wanted to know everything about this world. He was sure that the King in front of him knew better than anyone else.

"Mind Control!"

Merlin gathered his Mind Power. After all, for beings comparable to Honored Legends, he had to concentrate his Mind Power.

Soon, the huge Mind Power enveloped the King. Although he struggled, he still could not resist Merlin's Mind Control. Very quickly, his eyes also became dull.

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. "I've finally controlled him. Setoh, will the three other contenders comparable to Honored Legends hidden in the city rush over?"

"They're already rushing over but I'll stop them!"

Wizard Setoh directly flew out of the hall toward the sky. The Darkness Maxim on his body swiftly turned into a net as dark as ink, and covered the sky above the entire city.

Merlin glanced over but did not care about Wizard Setoh's methods. A few beings comparable to Honored Legend would be no threat to Wizard Setoh.

Merlin stared at the King in front of him and asked, "In the Flare Nation, is there anyone who is stronger than you?"

The King was already under Merlin's control, so he naturally had to answer every question. He immediately said, "In the Flame Nation, I'm the most powerful. In addition, there are three elders who are almost as powerful as I am. They're the foundation of my Flare Nation, and will not be dispatched easily."

Merlin nodded. He had already found the three hidden contenders in the Flare Nation. However, it seemed that there were only four beings comparable to Honored Legends in the entire Flare Nation, just like he guessed.

Therefore, Merlin sighed in relief. There was no one stronger than an Honored Legend here. This civilization was truly strange. Although the world was large, its population was not large. However, it still managed to produce many beings comparable to Honored Legends.

Merlin continued to ask, "Have you ever left this world?"

What Merlin wanted to know most now was how to leave this world and return to the Void Zone. After all, they still had to go to the Giant Tribe. Every second they delayed was detrimental to the Spell Caster civilization.

"This world? I've seen from the royal family's ancient records that this world has always been ruled by our Flare Nation. This world is called the Flare Region world! The Flare Region world was created by a supreme being. We have lived in this world for generations. There were once contenders who wished to leave but they did not gain anything. However, above our Flare and Flame countries is a sacred land. They're high above us, and they even have beings more powerful than us. There's nothing they can't do. Perhaps they can help you leave the Flare Region world."

"Stronger than all of you?"

Merlin was shocked. He was a little wary of the "sacred land" mentioned by the King. After all, the King was already comparable to an Honored Legend. If it was stronger than the King, then that would be comparable to a Lord.

"Are there Lords in a world like this?"

Merlin was very suspicious. However, he was also on guard, and felt slightly troubled. If it were just the Flare Nation, and they were only going up against Honored Legends, then there would be nothing to worry about.

However, if there was a Lord, then it would pose great trouble for the current Merlin and Setoh.

However, to leave the Flare Region world, they had to find the sacred land.

"Do you know where the sacred land is?"

Merlin continued to ask.

"The sacred land is too mysterious. They only appear when something major happens in the Flare Region world. I've not seen anyone from the sacred land for many years…"

Merlin asked the King many more questions but they all seemed to have something to do with the mysterious sacred land…

The entire Flare Region world was secretly controlled by the sacred land. The Flare Nation used to be one but was subsequently split into the Flare Nation and the Flame Nation. Major events such as these all had something to do with the sacred land.

No one knew how many there were in the sacred land, and no one knew what they were doing because no one knew why they existed. However, there was one thing for sure – contenders of the sacred land were extremely terrifying, and were far more powerful than the Flare and Flame Nations.

"Boom."

The entire Flare Nation suddenly shook, and the hall swayed violently. Merlin's Mind Power swept across and saw three figures with golden fire markings on their foreheads with terrifying forces surrounding their bodies. The flames on their bodies seemed to form multiple fire god-demons.

These were the three beings comparable to Honored Legends but against Wizard Setoh, they did not stand a chance. They were completely suppressed by Wizard Setoh's ultimate Maxim and could only appear shriveled.

That was also because Setoh was learning about their power. Otherwise, as an avatar of an Ultimate Arcane Wizard, Wizard Setoh would have already taken care of those three.

Merlin suddenly looked up at the sky and murmured, "I wonder if this would be considered a major event."

He recalled what the King had said earlier about how the sacred land would only get involved if something major happened in the Flare Region world. Now, the entire Flare Nation was sealed off, and four beings comparable to Honored Legends had been defeated. Perhaps even the sacred land would be stirred by these large movements.

Chapter 772: The Sacred Land

"Control!"

Merlin immediately used Mind Power to control those three fighters who were on par with Honored Legends. Only then did Wizard Setoh stopped. He was frowning as he stared up at the sky. "Although this place is still influenced by the natural order, the power of the natural order is too faint… I suspect that there must be more to this world. It's filled with signs that it's a man-made world. This is likely to be a dimension created by a great ultimate existence!"

After seeing Merlin using Mind Power to control three Flare Region fighters, Wizard Setoh spoke in a low voice. This was the conclusion he had arrived at after many days of analysis.

"An ultimate existence can create such a peculiar dimension?"

Merlin was rather doubtful. By now, he had encountered quite a few ultimate existences such as the three Great Arcane Wizards, the two Rock Progenitors, the Lord God of Light, and so on. They were all truly formidable, able to mobilize the natural order's power.

However, even such ultimate existences did not have the capability to construct such a unique dimension that could cut off the power of the natural order. Even though it was not completely insulated, at least it had blocked off a huge amount of the natural order's power. Moreover, this dimension could produce so many powerful beings.

Most ultimate existence would not be able to do this.

Wizard Setoh glanced at Merlin then shook his head helplessly. "You've only seen a few ultimate existences. Among us three Arcane Wizards, Augustus is slightly stronger but none of us has broken away from the first-grade. The Lord God of Light, the two Rock Progenitors, and even the Titan Giant of the Giant Tribe – all are still first-grade ultimate existences."

After a pause, Wizard Setoh seemed immersed in some distant memory, and continued. "Nonetheless, in the vast boundless Void Zone, although there aren't many ultimate existences, there's still a significant number. Once, when traveling around, we came across some remnants. You should know that ultimate existences don't just stop at the first-grade. They can be divided into many more grades. For instance, we can now do nothing about a Slothful Beast but in an ancient era, there was even an existence who could kill the Slothful Beast. That was a true contender of the ultimate existences! However, for some reason, except for us first-grade ultimate existences, the others rarely appear in these times, and we haven't even seen them. Still, I suspect that the Flare Region world is a dimension constructed by someone who far surpasses the ultimate existences' first-grade!"

Wizard Setoh's words made Merlin think of the Purple Emperor. Countless years ago, he had been one of the Thirty-six Emperors of the Void Zone. Perhaps that was the actual peak of ultimate existences.

Merlin did not continue tackling the peculiarity of the Flare Region world, and instead, told Wizard Setoh the things he had learned about the sacred land.

"Wizard Setoh, if we want to leave, I'm afraid we must cross paths with the sacred land. In that place, there might be beings superior to Honored Legends, on par with Lords. So we must be ready!"

Merlin said softly.

"Superior to Honored Legends, on par with Lords – those beings would be troublesome indeed. Even so, to return, we must come into contact with the sacred land no matter what. The uproar we've caused should be enough, right? Maybe we should wait longer…"

Merlin nodded. The entire Flare City was currently sealed off by Wizard Setoh. An event like this was momentous, and places nearby Flare City had already begun to notice.

Whether the sacred land would send someone, Merlin and Setoh did not know. They could only wait for now.In the great yellow desert, a fiery red figure landed heavily on the sand.

"Bang."

The figure had made "intimate" contact with the billowing yellow sand, cutting a sorry figure.

"D*mn it, what monster is this?"

This figure was foul-mouthed. He did not seem to be hurt, and quickly stood up, clasping both hands together.

"Boom."

In that instant, the entire desert seemed to quake. A fire god-demon appeared behind him, exuding scorching heat just like the sun in the sky.

"I won't believe that I can't handle a monster like you after you've come into my territory."

The giant fire god-demon gave a furious roar, and flew into the sky. Soon, he located the fearsome monster on the other side of the clouds of yellow sand.

This monster was so huge that it was hard to imagine. It was nearly as colossal as a country. Fortunately, this desert was vast, at least comparable to two or three countries, so it was able to accommodate this monster.

When the massive fire god-demon spotted this monster, he appeared delighted. Gradually, a fireball of extreme temperature was condensed. Even space itself was about to be incinerated.

"Wretched monster, go back to where you came from!"

The fire god-demon roared thunderously. Flames spurted out, rapidly shrouding the entire sky as they shot toward this monster. With such frightening flames, the fire-god demon was confident that he was unreservedly the strongest person in the entire Flare Region world. He was alone in his level of power. He did not believe that there was anything that could stop his attack.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle."

When the raging flames burned across the monster, something inconceivable happened. The monster seemed to feel nothing, still walking along leisurely, allowing the flames to burn upon its body for they could not even break through its skin.

"D*mn it, what monster is this?"

The fire god-demon started snarling once more, rushing to the front of the monster. His enormous frame was like a puny insect compared to the monster or even lesser than an insect. The monster was far too gigantic.

"Huff…"

The monster let out a gentle breath that sent the fire-god demon flying. He landed at a place of unknown distance which was even beyond the desert.

"My goodness, O' Great Sir Flare Emperor, what creature have you brought in this time?"

The massive fire god-demon was racked with dry sobs. A few days ago, he had discovered that something had come sweeping in from outside the borders of the Flare Region world.

At once, he noticed this monster. Therefore, as usual, he got ready to seize this monster and throw it into the prison of the Flare Region world.

However, upon their first contact, this foremost contender of the Flare Region world, Flarite, found that he could not do anything to the monster. He thought of every method but this monster did not even respond to him. No matter how he attacked, he was powerless against it.

Luckily, this monster simply stayed in the desert and did not go anywhere. It did not seem aggressive and was not angry even after letting Flarite attack.

"Whoosh."

Just as Flarite was preparing to chase after this monster, a figure who seemed to know Flarite came flying from the distance, shouting in panic, "Sir Flarite, something major has happened in the Flare Region world."

"Something major? What is it?"

Flarite was now invested in this creature that he could not seem to injure no matter what, and he did not wish to pay attention to other matters. Furthermore, he did not care much about the entire Flare Region world.

"Sir Flarite, didn't you ask us to keep an eye on the changes of the Flare Region world? A few years ago, the Flame Nation had split from the Flare Nation. We weren't concerned then, but now, two mysterious individuals have appeared in the Flare Nation. In one move, they've defeated the four strongest contenders of the Flare Nation, then started out for the Flame Nation. I suspect that those two aren't from the Flare Region world but were brought in by that previous storm."

Flarite's eyes brightened. "You mean those two came in with this monster? That's something indeed. Perhaps they'll know how to handle this monster… Very well, I'll let this monster feel smug for a few days. We'll meet with those two outer-region individuals."

Flarite glared at that monster. He had no way to handle it. Now that he heard there were individuals "swept in" by the Flare Region world along with this monster, naturally, he was interested.

Thus, he brought this man with him, and headed for the Flame Nation.

Chapter 773: The Master of the Sacred Land!

What powerful existences they were.

First, they sealed off Flare City, and defeated the four contenders on par with Honored Legends. They waited for a few more days, noticing that only masters from the other cities of Flare Nation came by to investigate. As for the people of the sacred land, not a single one came.

Therefore, both of them discussed whether the uproar they caused was huge enough. They might as well bring the four contenders of the Flare Nation directly to the Flame Nation, causing another commotion. Surely the people of the sacred land would appear then.

"There's a high chance that the people of the sacred land know how to leave the Flare Region world!"

Merlin and Setoh slowly figured out the foundations of this world. In this world, the people of the sacred land did not appear often, and there were not many from the two countries who could access the sacred land.

However, the sacred land was the force that had controlled the Flare Region world. Only through the sacred land could one understand all matters of the Flare Region world. Therefore, if Merlin and Setoh wished to leave this place, they had to rely on the sacred land.

"Swish."

When Merlin and Setoh had reached the Flame Nation, they were greeted by a city even more prosperous than Flare City. Everyone was filled with vitality.

With more people here, there were more contenders too. As for contenders on par with Honored Legends, Merlin immediately used his Mind Power to make a wide sweep. He discovered six forces that were equally matched with the Flare King.

"Six existences comparable to Honored Legends! It's not surprising that His Majesty the King was so worried."

However, Merlin was calm. No matter how many Honored Legends there were, they would not be of any threat to him. Nonetheless, their goal was not the destruction of the Flame Nation but to lure out the sacred land. Naturally, the bigger the disturbance, the better.

"We'll seal off Flame City first!"

This was the capital of the Flame Nation which was highly influential. Wizard Setoh nodded, following which his Darkness Maxim started to slowly condense. The entire sky gradually turned dark as if a gigantic black cloud was swiftly gathering above Flame City.

"The Flare Nation? You dare to cause trouble in Flame City?"

Suddenly, a furious roar pierced through Flame City. Six figures quickly flew toward Merlin.

Wizard Setoh did not use his Maxim to block them and instead, allowed them to fly into the air, facing off against Merlin's group.

Evidently, these six were the strongest contenders of the Flame Nation. All of them had terrifying fire god-demons behind them, and their gazes at Merlin and Setoh contained a trace of apprehension. After all, the dark cloud above their heads induced a vague sense of pressure that seemed to suffocate them.

"Who are you? Contenders hired by the Flare Nation?"

The man dressed in a blue robe in front had eyes like lightning, glaring at Merlin as he spoke.

Merlin shook his head, and his gaze turned piercing all at once. His Mind Power soundlessly crept over the six of them.

"Mind Control!"

Instantly, their eyes took on a glazed look as they gradually became blank. They were controlled by Merlin.

Previously, the people of the Flare Nation knew that Merlin possessed some mystical ability that could control people. However, it was only now that they had seen the slacken stares of those six, that they understood how frightening these two were.

This was a catastrophe for the entire Flare Region world!

"Tell us all you know about the sacred land."

Merlin had controlled the six from the Flame Nation, and started to inquire about the sacred land. After all, they could not simply rely on the words from the Flare Nation's side.

The six of them had their minds controlled, so naturally, they spouted everything they knew, sharing their knowledge of the sacred land in detail. Merlin and Setoh listened carefully, and realized it was similar to what the Flare Nation had said.

Whether it was the Flare Nation or the Flame Nation, they had a limited understanding of the sacred land, not knowing where it was.

"What do we do? If the people of sacred land still don't show up, we have no choice but to cause a greater commotion such as destroying Flame City!"

Merlin's eyes gleamed coldly though he was reluctant to go so far. After all, this was a foreign world. The power of the sacred land was still unknown. There might be beings on par with Lords.

If they had destroyed the city and made an enemy of the sacred land, they would surely attract unwanted attention. Thus, unless they had no other choice, Merlin did not want to do this. They only wished to gain the sacred land's assistance, hoping to return to the Void Zone.

This was because the Spell Caster civilization was still clinging on bitterly. They had to visit the Giant Tribe to bring back hope for the entire Spell Caster civilization. They must not waste too much time in this world.

"We'll wait longer…"

Before Wizard Setoh could finish, a suffocating might seemed to materialize in the sky. A gigantic fire god-demon slowly formed above them.

"Disperse!"

Following this thunderous voice, the black cloud which had shrouded Flame City was instantly dispersed. The people of Flame City looked somewhat bewildered.

Merlin and Wizard Setoh were even more astonished. Others did not know much about Wizard Setoh's sealing powers but they knew that as an avatar of Arcane Wizard Setoh, this was on par with a Great Lord.

However, this power comparable to a Great Lord's was now swept aside. Did this not mean that the strength of this fire god-demon was even stronger than a Great Lord's?

It was difficult to imagine that a unique, peculiar world like this would have someone even stronger than Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar.

"Could it be someone from the sacred land?"

Merlin instantly thought of this. Someone even more powerful than an Honored Legend in this world – they must be from that mysterious sacred land, someone Merlin and Setoh had been searching for.

"Hahaha, as I expected – forces from the outer-region…"

A boisterous laugh rang out, following which the fire god-demon slowly faded away, revealing a slender, middle-aged man. Behind him was someone whose force was greater than the Flare King's.

"Are you from the sacred land?"

Merlin took a step forward, and asked in a low voice.

"That's right. I'm the master of the sacred land. You can call me Flarite!"

With that, he glanced at the people of the Flare Nation and the Flame Nation. An astonished look came into his eyes, and he slowly said, "Those from the outer region like you have truly strange powers, able to control these people… Although they're indeed somewhat inadequate, they could be considered the strongest among our Flare Tribe."

This self-proclaimed master of the sacred land, Flarite, made Merlin and Setoh afraid. It seemed that even Setoh was filled with dread over this fierce, surging power.

After eyeing Flarite for a long time, a dumbstruck look finally crossed Wizard Setoh's face. He mumbled, "You've already reached the threshold of an ultimate existence and can attempt to fuse with the natural order! If you succeed, you'll become a great ultimate existence…"

Wizard Setoh was stunned to his core. During his long life, he had encountered countless foreign civilizations but in terms of someone who could start merging with the natural order and almost reaching the standard of an ultimate existence, Flarite was the first one Wizard Setoh had seen.

"How's that possible? Wizard Setoh, are you sure?"

Naturally, Merlin knew very well what reaching the threshold of merging with the natural order would mean. This was comparable to an existence in the Spell Caster civilization who had five ultimate Maxims.

Even Augustus' strongest Lord, the Fowell Lord, had not condensed five ultimate Maxims. Otherwise, he could have attempted to fuse with the natural order.

An existence like this was extremely fearsome. Although he had not reached the level of a Greatest Lord, he was close enough. Moreover, once he had merged with the natural order, he would be a noble ultimate existence.

As for a Greatest Lord, the current Merlin had a more detailed understanding than before.

Based on the system of the Spell Caster civilization, a Greatest Lord would be a mythic existence who had consolidated six or more ultimate Maxims, someone long qualified to merge with the natural order but had not done so. Not even ultimate existences could handle someone like this, who could single-handedly determine the outcome of a civilization war.

An existence like this was called the Greatest Lord!

At the moment, the Spell Caster civilization did not have a Greatest Lord. As for other foreign civilizations, they had not met any Greatest Lords either, for they were very rare.

Flarite had the potential to reach the level of a Greatest Lord. Someone like this could kill Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar at any time. As for Merlin's Mind Control, it was useless against someone like Flarite as well.

All at once, faced with the sudden emergence of Flarite whose capability completely exceeded Merlin and Setoh's estimation, Merlin and Setoh were somewhat speechless.

Chapter 774: The Flare Emperor!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You both came from the outer-region. Do you know of a massive beast of incomparable size? Why can't I kill it no matter what?"

After a long moment, it was Flarite who spoke first. What mattered most to him was that huge beast – the most fearsome one he ever saw. Merlin and Setoh came from the outer-region and should know about the huge beast.

"Massive beast?"

Merlin and Setoh exchanged a glance, then blurted out, "Could it be that Slothful Beast?"

Back in the Void Zone, they had encountered a Slothful Beast and the strange sea of fire. In the end, that sea of fire had sucked in the Slothful Beast, along with Merlin and Setoh.

"You know that huge beast?"

Flarite's eyes brightened. At the moment, that giant beast was giving him the biggest headache. Although it looked docile, who knew how it might change in the future? If it was not in the desert but instead came to the Flare Nation or the Flame Nation, those two nations would have been wrecked by that creature long ago.

Thus, Flarite wanted to resolve the threat of the huge beast.

Merlin considered for a moment. "Whether it's the Slothful Beast or not, we can't tell. We'll have to take a look before confirming this!"

Although Merlin and Setoh felt that this huge beast was the Slothful Beast, they had to see it to be sure.

"Of course you need to take a look first! How about this – you wish to leave the Flare Region world, right? If you come and take a look at this beast and say whether it's this Slothful Beast you've mentioned, we'll tell you how to leave the Flare Region world. What do you think?"

Flarite spoke evenly. He was not like the people of the Flare Nation or the Flame Nation. He had a certain degree of understanding about the Void Zone.

"We don't have any choice right now. However, we must be cautious around Flarite!"

Merlin and Setoh exchanged looks, both wary about Flarite. In such an unusual, peculiar world, they had met such a formidable existence. It was too astonishing.

"Good, let's hurry there as fast as we can!"

With that, Flarite led Merlin and Setoh, swiftly flying into the distance.Among the billowing yellow sand of the vast desert, four figures were quickly approaching, standing in mid-air. Merlin and Setoh could spot, in the distance, a colossal creature of unprecedented size. It was crawling along languidly, paying no mind to the terrifying temperature at all.

"A Slothful Beast, it really is a Slothful Beast!"

At first glance, Merlin and Setoh knew that this massive beast was a monster of the Void Zone, rarely seen but very peculiar – the Slothful Beast!

Back then, that sea of fire had absorbed the Slothful Beast into the Flare Region world. After seeing this Slothful Beast, Merlin and Setoh heaved a small sigh of relief. With this Slothful Beast, it was likely that Flarite would not attack them so easily, for there was no one who understood the Slothful Beast more than them.

They were well acquainted with the toughness of the Slothful Beast. Flarite must have learned this as well or he would not be so helpless.

"Both of you, is this the Slothful Beast you spoke of?"

Flarite asked again.

"That's right, this is the Slothful Beast we know. It's relatively gentle by nature. Usually, it won't get angry over any attack. Of course, there aren't many forces that could injure them."

Setoh explained calmly. He knew that Flarite was surely at his wit's end with this Slothful Beast. It was not just Flarite for even the three Great Arcane Wizards could do nothing to the Slothful Beast.

Upon hearing this, Flarite's face relaxed slightly but there was still a trace of anxiety. "So, what do I do to kill this Slothful Beast?"

Even though Merlin and Setoh said that this Slothful Beast had a meek temperament, no matter how meek it was, the Slothful Beast was too massive that it was still a threat. The mere possibility that it might leave the desert and move around as it pleased would cause countless fatalities. Therefore, if the Slothful Beast stayed in the Flare Region world, it was a risk factor.

Nonetheless, Merlin's heart leaped, and he said with a smile, "It's practically impossible to kill the Slothful Beast, so you can only banish it from the Flare Region world. Surely, as master of the sacred land, you're not oblivious to the fact that the Flare Region world is merely one dimension?"

After he had spoken, Merlin and Setoh glowered steadily at Flarite. Flarite, who was the master of the sacred land, must know that the Flare Region world was just one dimension, surrounded by the boundless Void Zone outside.

"Dimension?"

In response, Flarite shook his head with a bitter smile. "You don't know the actual situation of the Flare Region world. Although I know that there's a vast universe beyond the Flare Region world called the Void Zone, I have no way to leave this Flare Region world!"

"What? No way to leave the Flare Region world? How is that possible?"

Merlin and Setoh had seen with their own eyes that terrifying sea of fire that could directly swallow even a Slothful Beast. They were swept in as well, discovering that the space here was incomparably solid. By relying on themselves, they would not know how to leave the Flare Region world, so they thought about looking for the sacred land.

However, they had never expected that even the master of the sacred land was unable to leave the Flare Region world. In most dimensions, as long as one was a Legend, one could easily leave the dimension.

"Both of you, follow me to the sacred land. I'll explain everything to you. Since it's the first time you've arrived at the Flare Region world, there are many things you don't know. Let's go to the sacred land. You'll understand everything then."

After being offered this invitation by Flarite, Merlin and Wizard Setoh considered the matter briefly. Currently, they had no other way, and could only nod and follow behind Flarite, flying toward the sacred land.

Soon, they saw a continuous stretch of a mountain range. It looked just like raging, roaring flames. The temperature here seemed to be even higher.

Amid the mountain range, there was a temple that emanated a mystical force. This must be the sacred land which Flarite spoke of.

"Both of you, please come in. It's the first time the sacred land is receiving visitors from the outer-region!"

Flarite said with a smile. Merlin had already used his Mind Power to examine the condition of the sacred land. He saw that there were only three people here. Other than the two individuals before them, there was also a woman.

Both of them followed Flarite into the sacred land. The scorching heat outside was unparalleled but it was cooler in the sacred land. However, when they entered the main foyer, Merlin and Setoh were attracted to a statue.

The statue was shrouded in flames as if it was born from the fire. Even though it was merely a statue, it was brimming with a powerful force.

"This is the noble existence who had created the Flare Region world – Sir Flare Emperor!"

Flarite looked toward this statue with an expression filled with reverence.

"Flare Emperor? There's an ultimate existence like him in the Void Zone?"

Wizard Setoh naturally knew that an ordinary ultimate existence would be incapable of creating such a dimension. At the very least, he and the other two Arcane Wizards would be unable to create a dimension like this which cut off most of the natural order's power.

In addition, Wizard Setoh did not know since when the Void Zone had an ultimate existence like the Flare Emperor.

Setoh was unclear about this but Merlin was flabbergasted. Ever since he had entered the purple dimension and learned about the Void Zone's secrets from countless years ago, he knew that the Void Zone once had the Thirty-six Emperors. They truly stood at the peak, and in the infinite Void Zone, there was no one mightier than them.

To be called an "Emperor", this must be one of the Thirty-six Emperors!

"The Flare Emperor – could he be one of the Thirty-six Emperors?"

Although Merlin had guessed as much, he still asked softly.

"Hmm? You know about the Thirty-six Emperors? That's right, the creator of our sacred land and the entire Flare Region world is one of the Thirty-six Emperors – Sir Flare Emperor!"

Upon hearing that Merlin knew about the Thirty-six Emperors, Flarite's wariness seemed to evaporate significantly.

Wizard Setoh knitted his brow. As an ultimate existence, he had never heard of these Thirty-six Emperors, so he asked Merlin, "Wizard Merlin, you've never mentioned these Thirty-six Emperors before?"

After some careful thought, Merlin finally decided to tell Arcane Wizard Setoh about the Thirty-six Emperors and the Vestigial Tribe. This was the Void Zone's greatest secret. It happened too long ago, to the point that even ultimate existences had never heard of the legends regarding the Thirty-six Emperors.

Chapter 775: Prison!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Wizard Setoh, previously I was in the boundless territory where I met Maya of the Golden Light Tribe. At that time, I hadn't become an Honored Legend, and was merely a Great Wizard!"

Setoh nodded. "Maya from the Golden Light Tribe? I know a little about him. The Golden Light Tribe is a weaker civilization but as they have an existence on par with an Honored Legend like Maya, they could just about survive in the Void Zone. Of course, though you weren't an Honored Legend, you were already close to one."

Naturally, Setoh knew about Merlin's capability. Despite not becoming an Honored Legend, Merlin would have been close to one. However, Setoh did not know that Merlin also had the empire-level warship of the Atlan civilization at that time, so Merlin was unafraid of Maya.

"Maya and I began to fight over some matter, and coincidentally came across a massive purple dimension. Both of us entered the purple dimension, later discovering that this was an inheritance left behind by the Purple Emperor, an incomparably ancient existence from who-knows-how-many million years ago!

"It was in this purple dimension that I've learned about the Void Zone's early secrets. It turns out that the Void Zone had been matchlessly prosperous. There were the Thirty-six Emperors who were the strongest beings in the infinite Void Zone. They were not something an average ultimate existence can compare to. Nonetheless, the Thirty-six Emperors suffered major casualties. Despite their immense power, they had to confront a catastrophe that had engulfed the entire Void Zone – the Vestigial Tribe!

"The Vestigial Tribe was different from other civilizations. They could rely on external forces to possess terrifying powers. They had warships, puppets, and could even borrow external forces to become Lords or even ultimate existences. Plus, the Vestigial Tribe had the power to kill ultimate existences. They did not fear the power of the natural order because their system of strength couldn't merge with the natural order.

"This catastrophe swept across the Void Zone. After an unknown number of years of war, the Thirty-six Emperors did not even hold much hope for winning, so they each left behind their various inheritances."

Merlin explained all he knew in detail. The Vestigial Tribe and the Thirty-six Emperors – all these were secret not known to even the three Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization and many other ultimate existences.

After all, these were matters too distant in the past, until even the present ultimate existences would be unable to imagine.

"That's right. You're Wizard Merlin, yes? What you said is about the same as the records left behind by Sir Flare Emperor. The Thirty-six Emperors had led the civilizations of the Void Zone to confront the Vestigial Tribe, resulting in endless casualties. It was too merciless. Fortunately, we won in the end but Sir Flare Emperor went missing. We don't know where he went, and are only left with this prison."

"Prison? You say this place is a prison?"

Merlin looked puzzled. The entire Flare Region world seemed quite peculiar indeed. The space was so solid that not even a Great Lord could break through, yet a mere world like this could produce so many Honored Legends.

In addition, in this sacred land, there were powerful existences who, like Flarite, were close to a Lord who had five ultimate Maxims, able to try merging with the natural order. Many formidable civilizations would find it difficult to give birth to beings like these.

Furthermore, other than Flarite, Merlin's Mind Power had detected two others in the sacred land who were formidable existences at the level of a Lord.

A small world like this had gathered so many contenders. It was strange indeed.

"So, this prison is used to lock up whom?"

"Of course it's to lock up the Vestigial Tribe!"

Flarite spoke with a shrug.

"The Vestigial Tribe? You still have the Vestigial Tribe?"

Merlin stood up in a rush, his face gripped by surprise. When he had heard about the Vestigial Tribe from the Purple Emperor, he was already very shocked. He found it difficult to imagine a civilization that could take over the entire Void Zone.

At the moment, the Spell Caster civilization, the Rock Tribe civilization, even including the God Alliance, could occupy a very small region of the entire Void Zone at most. They had not even reached the end of the Void Zone, much less taken over the entire Void Zone.

Therefore, Merlin found it difficult to conceive how powerful the Vestigial Tribe must have been back then. Still, he had never seen the Vestigial Tribe. Now that he had heard this was a prison to detain the Vestigial Tribe, would he not be dumbstruck?

Flarite shook his head powerlessly. "At first, this was a place Sir Flare Emperor designed to imprison the Vestigial Tribe. However, later on, even Sir Flare Emperor himself was gone. Naturally, it did not detain any Vestigial Tribe. We're still guessing if the war has ended. That's right, you came from the outer-region. Based on your manner, you don't even know about the Vestigial Tribe. Has the war really ended?"

Merlin stared at Flarite in utter shock. Could Flarite have lived for so long, constantly staying in the Flare Region world? It was true that many beings such as gods, would not die as long as their divinity lasted. Theoretically, they could live on forever.

However, in reality, they had not seen anyone who had lived very long. After all, in the Void Zone, there were many unexpected events. During a fight with someone, a moment of carelessness could lead to death.

"Don't look at me like that. I've simply lived for a longer time, that's all…"

Flarite spoke breezily.

By now, Setoh had vaguely sensed how terrifying Flarite was, whose lifespan was even longer than the birth of many powerful civilizations.

Nonetheless, Setoh was burning with one question ever since Merlin had described the Vestigial Tribe, especially since the Spell Caster civilization was not in a favorable situation, so he panicked.

"Merlin, the Vestigial Tribe that you've mentioned earlier, could they be the Atlan civilization?"

Wizard Setoh finally could not help but ask. After all, Merlin's description of the Vestigial Tribe seemed similar to the Atlan civilization. The Atlan Dimension by itself was already so unique, completely cutting off the natural order. It was not an ordinary dimension and must be hiding some secrets.

Furthermore, there was the ultimate-level divinity the Atlan civilization had gifted to the Lord God of Light, which allowed him to recover so quickly. This made the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards somewhat suspicious but as they did not know the secret of the Vestigial Tribe, they did not consider the matter from other perspectives.

Nevertheless, upon careful consideration, there were too many doubtful points. The Atlan civilization could not possibly emerge suddenly in such a formidable manner.

"The Atlan civilization?"

Merlin frowned. Now that Wizard Setoh had brought this up, he could only reply. "Initially, I have my suspicions as well. The Atlan civilization is too similar to the Vestigial Tribe but they're too far apart. They don't even have an ultimate existence. Even the void-level warship is merely a rumor, and it's still not manufactured. Even so, I now suspect whether the Atlan civilization is connected to the Vestigial Tribe. For instance, they might be some type of descendant. Who can tell?"

It was not just Merlin but Wizard Setoh who had thought of this. If the Atlan civilization was the descendant of the Vestigial Tribe, there would be great trouble.

"What is this Atlan civilization you speak of? They're the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe or are somehow linked to them?"

Flarite's expression had turned serious.

"This is merely conjecture on our part. Perhaps you've stayed in the Flare Region world for too long, so you don't know that there aren't any traces left of the Vestigial Tribe. On the other hand, there's this strange civilization called the Atlan civilization. Now, they're waging war against our Spell Caster civilization, and we're on our way to ask for support from the Giant Tribe…"

Merlin briefly outlined the present situation, and Flarite soon got the gist of it.

"Therefore, we now need your help, master of the sacred land, in leaving this Flare Region world!"

Merlin spoke sincerely. Currently, they must leave the Flare Region world as quickly as possible and return to the Void Zone. Otherwise, there was no telling how the situation would change for the Spell Caster civilization.

"Back then, Sir Flare Emperor had given us orders to imprison the Vestigial Tribe for they are our enemy! It's too bad that we three sentinels appointed by Sir Flare Emperor don't have the power to leave the Flare Region world because this is a prison. Therefore, even for us, we can only enter but not exit…"

Flarite spoke helplessly, and his words induced a great change in Merlin and Setoh's expressions. This meant that they had no way of leaving the Flare Region world!

Chapter 776: The Limbo Prison!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"It's only possible to enter but not to exit. What does this mean?"

Merlin and Setoh's faces turned ashen. They did not wish to be trapped in the Flare Region world for countless years or they would be unable to visit the Giant Tribe to help the Spell Caster civilization. The consequences would be unthinkable.

Flarite looked up with a bitter smile. "You've heard earlier that the entire Flare Region world is a prison to detain the Vestigial Tribe! This prison is incomparably solid. Whether from outside or inside, it's nearly impossible to exit. If a prison allows one to go out easily, what kind of prison is it? Of course, Sir Flare Emperor had said that the exception would be those ultimate existences who could sense the traces of the natural order left here. They might still be able to break free from this prison. However, from the looks of it, you're not ultimate existences, right?"

The Flare Region world was a prison made to lock in the Vestigial Tribe. Other than ultimate existences, no one would be able to break free from it. With this thought, Setoh raised his head abruptly, and Darkness Maxim swiftly gathering over his body.

Merlin did not stop Wizard Setoh when he saw what Setoh was doing. He might as well let Setoh give it a shot, to see if it was as impossible to leave the Flare Region world as Flarite had said.

"Open!"

Setoh waved his hand, and the terrifying Darkness Element turned into a darkness giant. It grasped with both hands at something and tore it apart furiously.

If this was an ordinary dimension, a tear like this would easily split the dimension apart. Nonetheless, the Flare Region world merely gave a small shudder. The breeze brushed past softly, and nothing changed.

"Why is it like this?"

Merlin's expression turned cold. He saw that Wizard Setoh was unhappy as well. They were trapped in the Flare Region world.

"How about that? I wasn't lying, right? I wanted to leave this place. It's been so many years. Even though we have orders from Sir Flare Emperor, who would stay here? During these years, the world that was initially barren gradually gave birth to living creatures, even developing into a civilization. We've witnessed the glory and decline of many empires, even the golden era of this world. However, no matter what, we can't change the fact that this is a prison, and we can't get out…"

Flarite's tone was despondent. It was not that he did not want to leave. Conversely, no one would want to stay here after being in this place for so long. They wished to leave too.

However, this was a prison designed by the Flare Emperor of the Thirty-six Emperors. How could they leave so easily? Back then, the three of them who were selected did not plan on leaving. Even so, after an extensive passage of time, even the strongest resolve would waver.

"There must be a way! Flarite, as sentinels of this prison, where is this prison exactly?"

Merlin looked up and fixed a gaze on Flarite as he asked carefully.

"The prison's exact position? This entire dimension is a prison. For instance, you are trapped in here, and can't go out. This is the prison!"

Flarite's words helped Merlin understand that the entire Flare Region world was a natural prison. They were swept into this world, and could not get out.

"Then how do you control this prison? As sentinels, you may have some special methods to control it. Otherwise, why would the Flare Region world suck us in?"

Merlin did not buy into Flarite's excuses. Perhaps Flarite was mainly speaking the truth but he must have kept some things to himself. The way they were swept into the Flare Region world, for example, was something a prison would not do.

Flarite's expression was one of embarrassment as he explained in a low voice, "Alright. There's no issue telling you now since there's no Vestigial Tribe in this prison, and they've vanished anyway. To be honest, you were sucked in by the Flare Region world because some small mishaps had occurred throughout the years. Not even I can control it…"

"Mishaps?"

"That's right, mishaps! Initially, the Flare Region world wouldn't engulf you in that manner but as more time passed, I kept trying to leave the Flare Region world every day. Therefore, this caused some small mishaps, and the entire Flare Region world would explode with immense power irregularly. This is the power of the entire prison, and anyone below ultimate existences would be unable to escape! Unless the power of the natural order is involved, anyone would be swept into the Flare Region world."

Flarite was rather embarrassed. He wanted to leave the Flare Region world too badly but unintentionally caused more issues. Not only was he still unable to escape but he had also triggered the function of the prison, which constantly "capture" people.

Merlin and Setoh were such sacrifices!

Merlin knitted his brow. He thought about the Slothful Beast. This was an existence beast which the three Arcane Wizards could not handle, yet it was sucked into the Flare Region world.

"Although the Slothful Beast is powerful, it can't mobilize the power of the natural order. It can only move by instinct… That's right, Wizard Merlin, we can use the Slothful Beast!"

Setoh seemed to have thought of a plan, and his eyes shone.

"That's right. The Slothful Beast is very strong. Can it break out of this prison?"

Merlin's eyes gleamed as well. They thought of the Slothful Beast. Nonetheless, it was difficult to manipulate the Slothful Beast because it would not become enraged. The Slothful Beast would not pay any attention at all using ordinary methods.

Just like how the three Great Arcane Wizards had attacked the Slothful Beast in the past but the Slothful Beast did not care at all, and the three Arcane Wizards could do nothing. This time, Flarite had tried to use various techniques of attacking the Slothful Beast but it still did not react.

Merlin thought about it for a moment, then told Flarite, "Bring us there for a look since it's an area under the sentinels' control. Since you're sentinels, you're surely able to control the Flare Region world. I'm guessing you've exploited that factor to try and leave this world."

"That's right, that's what I did. However, it's too difficult to leave… I'll take you for a look!"

Flarite did not refuse and immediately stood up. He softly delivered instructions to the man beside him, following which the man took his leave first, probably to make preparations.

"Both of you, please follow me!"

With that, Merlin and Wizard Setoh followed behind Flarite, heading outside. After a short moment, that man had joined Flarite once again, bringing with him a woman whose force Merlin had previously detected through his Mind Power. She must be a sentinel of the sacred land as well.

"I forgot to introduce to you. These two are sentinels as well. Back then, Sir Flare Emperor had arranged for them to assist me in guarding this prison."

The man was called Flaraoh and the woman was called Flarmun. They were both comparable to Lords, which made Merlin and Setoh endlessly astounded. It was not surprising that they were able to guard this massive prison.

The Flare Emperor spared no expenses, sending three Lords to act as sentinels!

"Alright, this is the heart of the sacred land. There's another name for this place, called the Limbo Prison. It's simple – although the entire Flare Region world is a prison, if someone comes in here and stir up trouble, then us sentinels will have to do our jobs. We'll capture them and throw them into the Limbo Prison. As the name suggests, the Limbo Prison will put one in a state akin to limbo. Very few people, other than ultimate existences, will be able to bear that torment."

As Flarite explained, he revealed some apprehension toward this Limbo Prison.

Merlin looked ahead. Indeed, there was a huge, open space before them, burning with unceasing light blue flames that surged turbulently. Just the force of the blaze alone induced a sense of extreme danger in Merlin.

"Hiss."

Merlin condensed a flash of Darkness Maxim that instantly blanketed the sea of light blue flames. However, in the blink of an eye, Merlin's Darkness maxim was reduced to ashes.

Merlin's face changed slightly. Even an ultimate Maxim was burned to ashes. This light blue blaze was truly incomparably frightening.
