"Great Light Honorable Lord, come out!"

The booming voice resounded across the entire Great Light Dimension. The previous cacophony quietened in an instant.

Everyone stared at the golden figure suspended in the air. No one had ever picked a fight so brazenly in the Great Light Dimension.

"Big Brother, I thought you said that no one dares to launch an attack in the Great Light Dimension?"

The two foreign creatures who were targeted by the Blueblood Tribe looked extremely embarrassed. He just mentioned that the Great Light Dimension was very safe, and no one would dare to attack in the Great Light Dimension. Yet, unpredictably, they had encountered someone who was publicly challenging the Great Light Honorable Lord.

Especially since the Blueblood Tribe, too, began to sport hostile looks at them.

"Calm down, this is just a freak accident. Soon, the Light Guardians will appear and kill this person. He's just an insane lunatic."

This foreign creature put up a brave expression but he could not help but gaze at the golden figure in the air who had publicly issued a challenge to the Great Light Honorable Lord. Even if he died, it was still admirable.

"Who are you?"

"How dare you wreak havoc in the Great Light Dimension?"

Immediately, the five Light Guardians who stayed back in the Great Light Dimension as well as almost thirty Light Envoys appeared in the Great Light Dimension. Their overwhelming power surrounded the Great Light Tower firmly.

"Five Light Guardians and thirty Light Envoys… Since when were there so many strong contenders in the Great Light Dimension?

Seeing such a massive number of Light Guardians and Light Envoys, everyone in the Great Light Dimension felt slightly confused. After all, the Great Light Honorable Lord's summon was only known to the Seventy-two Light Envoys and Eighteen Light Guardians.

Merlin looked at the numerous Light Guardians and Light Envoys but he did not see the Great Light Honorable Lord. Although Merlin did not know the Great Light Honorable Lord per se, he knew that a third-grade ultimate existence's aura would not be of this level. If the Great Light Honorable Lord stood among the crowd, he would be instantly noticeable.

"Where's the Great Light Honorable Lord? Didn't he hear me? Ask him to show himself!"

Merlin could not be bothered to waste his time. Once he had killed the Great Light Honorable Lord, naturally, the people of the Great Light Region would also be wiped out. The Great Light Region would cease to exist.

"Who are you to see the Great Light Honorable Lord? You must be a nut job. Hmph, once I catch you, you'll suffer the consequences!"

One of the Light Envoys stepped forward, and transformed into a giant roc shrouded in a black glisten. He consolidated a huge amount of the power of the natural order, also in the shape of a giant roc, and hurtled toward Merlin.

"That's the Dark Roc Light Envoy! According to rumors, he's a special life form from the Void Zone – the Dark Roc! Their natural abilities are superbly powerful. As long as they reach maturity, they would become ultimate existences and possess incredible speed."

This Light Envoy seemed extraordinary. Many people knew about him.

Faced against the Dark Roc Light Envoy, Merlin felt impatient. It appeared that unless he killed some people, the Great Light Honorable Lord would not show up.

"Hum."

Merlin gripped with his huge hand. An invisible power shrouded the Dark Roc Light Envoy. Consequently, the Dark Roc Light Envoy felt as if he was bound by an invisible force. Following that, a tremendous gravitational force pressed upon him from every direction and squeezed his body painfully, like he was going to be crushed.

"Bang."

Merlin did not delay. After wielding the gravitational field to imprison the Dark Roc Light Envoy, he brandished a punch.

This simple punch contained pure terrifying power that could shatter hundreds and thousands of dimensions. More importantly, it contained the Vestigial Tribe's mystifying power which could disintegrate the power of the natural order.

Therefore, the power of the natural order that swathed the Dark Roc Light Envoy was smashed in an instant and the tremendous impact killed the Dark Roc Light Envoy.

"Hoo…"

The Dark Roc Light Envoy's aura dissipated completely. From the people's perspective, they could not see the gravitational field. Therefore, they only saw Merlin who was bathed in a golden light kill the Dark Roc Light Envoy with a single punch. Chills ran down everyone's spine!

"It seems he came prepared…"

Putting away their initial contempt, the highly exalted Light Guardians' expressions turned grievous.

"Who are you?"

The Light Guardian asked gravely.

"Merlin!"

"Merlin? I don't think the Great Light Region has any conflict with Your Excellency?"

Upon hearing Merlin's name, the Light Guardians cracked their heads but did not recall any powerful enemies of the Great Light Region named "Merlin".

"Summon your Great Light Honorable Lord. He knows the reason!"

Merlin's Mind Power shrouded the area, so everyone's movements were evident to him.

The five Light Guardians glanced at one another. They had sensed Merlin's formidable prowess. Therefore, they replied, "Your Excellency Merlin, not too long ago, the Great Light Honorable Lord led a troop of Light Guardians and Light Envoys and left the Great Light Region. We also don't know where he'll be going."

"What? He left?"

Merlin's face paled slightly. He immediately realized that the Great Light Honorable Lord must be heading toward the Spell Caster civilization. Moreover, with the Aurora warships, Merlin would not be able to catch up with them.

Based on the power of the Spell Caster civilization, it would be impossible to resist the Great Light Honorable Lord.

"If he has left, ask him to return. I believe you have a way to make the Great Light Honorable Lord return. I give him a month. For every single day he doesn't return, I'll kill a Light Guardian. If all the Light Guardians have been killed and still he hasn't returned, I'll destroy the entire Great Light Region!"

As soon as Merlin finished speaking, he did not hold back on his energy and wielded the gravitational field to seal the entire Great Light Dimension. Only a second-grade ultimate existence would be able to forcibly tear apart Merlin's gravitational field.

However, if they tried, Merlin would not be polite.

"It's really sealed."

"The Great Light Dimension is sealed? This is the first time…"

"Amazing. Not only did he pick a fight on the doorstep of the Great Light Region but he's also forcing the Great Light Honorable Lord to show up. I wonder if the Great Light Honorable Lord will appear?"

"I'm sure he will. However, as soon as the Great Light Honorable Lord shows up, this man is dead meat. Never has anyone provoked the Great Light Honorable Lord and lived to tell the tale. The Great Light Honorable Lord had even vanquished an ultimate existence of his level before!"

Anyone who could be in the Great Light Dimension was a powerful foreign creature by their own right. Naturally, they were able to sense that the Great Light Dimension had been sealed.

Some people were panicky but most of them remained calm. They believed that the Great Light Honorable Lord would surely return. In the face of such a brazen provocation, if the Great Light Honorable Lord did not return, he would become the laughingstock of the powerful factions around him.

"D*mn it, just one measly person dares to seal the Great Light Dimension. What is left of the Light Guardians and Light Envoy's reputation? If we attack together, do you think we can't defeat one person?"

Seeing that Merlin had sealed the entire Great Light Dimension, the remaining Light Envoys and Light Guardians were irked.

"Everyone, silence! I'll report this matter to the Great Light Honorable Lord. Unless we have no choice, don't attack. This person is too powerful. Perhaps, he has reached the same level as the Great Light Honorable Lord."

The Light Guardian leader's sight was tightly trained on the golden figure in the air. He could vaguely sense that there were some secrets hidden within the golden light. It was obvious that Merlin was hiding something, yet he could not tell what it was.

Merlin had indeed concealed the Golden Ray Armor. Ever since he fought the two Curved Horn Tribe creatures and the three Light Guardians, Merlin knew that the Golden Ray Armor was well-known in the Great Light Region. Hence, in order not to attract unnecessary attention as well as preventing the Great Light Honorable Lord from seeing through him, he had concealed himself from the very beginning.

Unless the Great Light Honorable Lord showed up in person, no one would be able to see that he was wearing the legendary Golden Ray Armor.

"Not bad, he can practice self-control."

Merlin looked at the Light Guardian who had stopped the Light Envoys, and nodded to himself. If they were to attack, Merlin did not mind killing more people and smearing fresh blood across the Great Light Dimension.In the icy darkness of the Void Zone, countless streams of light broke through the Void Zone. Anyone who saw this scene would be irrevocably shaken because in these streams of light was eighteen Aurora warships.

Eighteen Aurora warships. In the glorious days of the Vestigial Tribe, this would already be an expedition army. It was due to this expedition army that they were able to conquer countless dimensions. Wherever they went, no power could stand against them.

However, ever since the Vestigial Tribe was wiped out, such a magnificent scene became a rare occurrence. Eighteen Aurora warships was an unimaginably large move.

However, if someone were to look closely, they would see that these Aurora ships carried some unique aura imprints, which belonged to the Great Light Honorable Lord. These were the Great Light Region's Aurora warships.

Only the Great Light Honorable Lord of the Great Light Region, who controlled two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions, could dispatch eighteen Aurora warships in one go.

At this moment in the Aurora warship, the Great Light Honorable Lord suddenly opened his eyes. A terrifying deadliness appeared on his body. This burst of deadliness even extended beyond his Aurora warship, causing all the Light Guardians and Light Envoys in the other Aurora warships to tremble.

"Sir Honorable Lord, what happened?"

Many of the Light Guardians and Light Envoys immediately activated the communication channels and asked.

The Great Light Honorable Lord's face was thunderous as he roared, "Turn back to the Great Light Region, now! The person we're looking for has reached our doorstep…"

Immediately, everyone exchanged looks of bewilderment. Using all kinds of exclusive means, they had finally learned of the current situation in the Great Light Region.

A mysterious person by the name of Merlin had arrived in the Great Light Dimension, and had sealed it to force the Great Light Honorable Lord to appear.

If he did not appear within a month, one person would be killed every single day.

Such insanity, such brazenness, such impudence! Since when had the Great Light Honorably Lord been provoked in such a manner?

It was not surprising that the Great Light Honorable Lord was so enraged.

"This Merlin is going to suffer the Great Honorable Lord's endless wrath. He's dead for sure…"

Many of the Light Guardians shook their heads. Regardless of how powerful Merlin was, they believed that once the Great Light Honorable Lord had returned, Merlin would surely be put to death!

Chapter 874: Great Light Honorable Lord

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the immense Illusory World, Merlin was carefully gauging the expansion of the Illusory World. Using his previous life as a blueprint, Merlin's Illusory World was gradually resembling the universe in his past.

The universe and the Void Zone were two completely different concepts because their preliminary natural orders were different. Therefore, if these two worlds met, there would be a clash.

However, at present, the Illusory World was still purely Mind Power. As long as he did not initiate any contact with the power of the natural order or tried to challenge it, the Illusory World was safe.

The Illusory World was still expanding. His past life's universe was also limitless. Compared to that, Merlin's Illusory World was still a long way behind.

However, Merlin was considering an intricate question. When would the Illusory World become truly perfect? If the Illusory World continued to expand forever and ever, then how would he achieve success?

Previously, Merlin thought that once the Illusory World had expanded to a certain size, perhaps comparable to the Void Zone, then it would naturally be successful. However, it was not as simple as it seemed.

A perfect Illusory World was something that neither Titus nor Merlin had ever encountered. So, every accomplishment had to rely upon Merlin's own experiment.

"One month and one day. The Great Light Honorable Lord hasn't shown up. So, someone must die today!"

Merlin opened his eyes. He had been in the Great Light Dimension for a month and a day. According to his declaration, he would kill one person each extra day.

"Swoosh."

Merlin gazed at the Light Guardians. Five Light Guardians remained. Upon seeing the look on Merlin's face, their faces shifted drastically.

"One month and one day. The Great Light Honorable Lord hasn't returned. Therefore, I'll kill one person!"

Merlin's gaze was filled with ruthlessness. With that, he straightened himself, and looked toward a blue-robed Guardian.

When the blue-robed Guardian saw Merlin's gaze directed at him, the power of the natural order surged out rapidly and formed an armor around his body. He yelled, "Let's attack together. The Great Light Honorable Lord will return soon. Surely, he'll kill Merlin!"

Nonetheless, the blue-robed Guardian's words were not quite effective. It did not attract many responses. On the contrary, they withdrew a distance away from the blue-robed Guardian, and watched the development of events.

Although Merlin had demonstrated powerful strength before this, many of them were uncertain how much stronger he was compared to a second-grade ultimate existence. Thus, this was a perfect observation opportunity.

If Merlin's ability was unable to suppress a second-grade, then most probably the four Light Guardians and thirty Light Envoys would attack simultaneously.

"You won't last till the Great Light Honorable Lord returns! Even he if returns, you'll die!"

Merlin's gaze was filled with ruthlessness. The invisible gravitational field instantly wrapped around the blue-robed Guardian.

"Gravitational field? This is the Vestigial Tribe's gravitational field. You want to bind me with this? Impossible!"

The blue-robed Guardian roared. The next moment, the power of the natural order burst out from his body like blazing flames and began to burn. He was then able to break free of Merlin's gravitational field.

Merlin was not surprised. He could only wield a small portion of the Golden Ray Armor's strength, so the gravitational field only had a negligible effect on a second-grade ultimate existence. It was impossible to bind him.

Whereas if he had activated the full power of the Golden Ray Armor, just the gravitational field alone could kill a second-grade ultimate existence. After all, it was the Vestigial Tribe's ultimate weapon!

Although the gravitational force field did not manage to subdue his opponent, Merlin attacked directly. With a step forward, his figure seemed to disappear suddenly.

This was not traversing space but instead, extreme speed. His speed was too fast for a second-grade ultimate existence to capture his trajectory.

Merlin's Golden Ray Armor detonated its strongest ability. Waves of petrifying fluctuations began to roll off Merlin's body.

"Annihilation function!"

To defeat a second-grade ultimate existence, he had to wield the annihilation function. It could kill a second-grade ultimate existence without any resistance.

The annihilation function usually appeared in circular ripples but Merlin had controlled it to only head in one direction, which was toward the blue-robed Guardian. Hence, the annihilation function only turned the blue-robed Guardian into ashes.

This time, Merlin did not save his opponent's ring. Under the annihilation function, everything was annihilated. No force could withstand it.

Silence. The entire Great Light Dimension was silent. Even the Light Guardians and Light Envoys who were initially worked up, fell silent.

There was not even a fierce battle before their eyes. All they felt was a gust of spine-tingling power, then a Light Guardian who was a second-grade ultimate existence, was quietly reduced to ashes.

Only someone who possessed superior power could achieve such an effect! Any power that was superior to a second-grade ultimate existence must belong to a third-grade ultimate existence, which meant that he was equivalent to the Great Light Honorable Lord.

"Everyone, don't act rashly. Merlin's ability is comparable to the Great Light Honorable Lord!"

At this point, no one dared to act rashly any longer. If Merlin had possessed powers equivalent to a third-grade ultimate existence like the Great Light Honorable Lord, then their numbers were meaningless. This was a contender who stood at the pinnacle of the Void Zone. They could only wait until the Great Light Honorable Lord returned, then see whether the Great Light Honorable Lord or this mysterious Merlin was more powerful.

"That's third-grade level power! However, in the past, the Great Light Honorable Lord has killed a similar third-grade contender. Although this Merlin is powerful, he probably isn't a worthy opponent compared to the Great Light Honorable Lord."

"Whether or not he's a worthy opponent for the Great Light Honorable Lord is none of our business. This is a fight between third-grade ultimate existences. For now, we can only wait quietly. It's just that, tomorrow, Merlin will kill another person. I wonder whose turn will be next?"

Now, everyone knew that Merlin at least possessed powers comparable to a third-grade ultimate existence. No one doubted Merlin's words anymore. As long as the Great Light Honorable Lord had exceeded the time frame given to him, Merlin would kill another person.

Now was already one day late, and a Light Guardian was dead. If the Great Light Honorable Lord did not arrive by tomorrow, the next victim would be one of the four remaining Light Guardians.

Therefore, these four Light Guardians were very anxious.

The next day, the Great Light Honorable Lord still did not return. Therefore, Merlin continued his carnage and killed another Light Guardian. This was also a second-grade ultimate existence but he failed to put up a single ounce of resistance before Merlin.

On the third day, another Light Guardian was killed. In the blink of an eye, out of the five Light Guardians left in the Great Light Dimension, only two were left.

In the icy dark Void Zone, eighteen streams of light were flying at incredible speed. However, the Aurora ships encapsulated in these streams of light were filled with tension.

"The third Light Guardian is dead. Sir Honorable Lord, if we don't arrive soon, I'm afraid even the Great Light Dimension wouldn't be able to hold on…"

In the Aurora warships, utilizing some special means, the Great Light Honorable Lord had already learned of the events which had transpired in the Great Light Dimension. Merlin had fulfilled his promise. For every day of delay, he would kill one Light Guardian.

Once all the Light Guardians were killed, he would kill the Light Envoys. If the Great Light Honorable Lord had not returned by the time all the Light Envoys were killed, Merlin was going to destroy the entire Great Light Region.

Regarding this threat, the Great Light Honorable Lord did not doubt Merlin. He now knew that Merlin was at least comparable to his level, which was a third-grade ultimate existence. Hence, destroying the Great Light Region was as easy as crushing an ant.

Therefore, the Great Light Honorable Lord also calmed down completely. Any opponent in the form of a third-grade ultimate existence was not easy to handle Although he had once killed another third-grade ultimate existence, he had to pay a great price to kill him.

"He's a third-grade ultimate existence… However, so what? He dares to challenge the Great Light Region so he must die!"

The Great Light Honorable Lord's eyes flashed coldly. At this moment, he was no longer in a hurry. Even if all the Light Guardians were dead and the Great Light Region was destroyed, as long as he could kill Merlin, the Great Light Region could be rebuilt!A few more days passed by. However, to those living in the Great Light Dimension, these were days that they would not forget for the rest of their lives as they filled with horrifying scenes of bloodshed.

All five Light Guardians were dead. The final Light Guardian even managed to rally a dozen Light Envoys to attack jointly but the outcome was still the same. All of them were killed.

Now, the Great Light Dimension only had a dozen Light Envoys left remaining. All of them had completely lost the will to fight.

Merlin was unmoved. Without employing such a method, he would not be able to aggravate the Great Light Honorable Lord. Then, the Spell Caster civilization would be in danger. Therefore, Merlin continued to wait for the Great Light Honorable Lord. He knew that his opponent would appear!

"It has been another day…"

Merlin opened his eyes. Just as his gravitational field had imprisoned a Light Envoy and was about to kill him, eighteen light streams appeared in the Void Zone not far from the Great Light Dimension.

"Finally here?"

Merlin's mouth quirked into a delighted smile.

"The Great Light Honorable Lord has arrived. We're saved."

Seeing the eighteen streams of light, hope began to rise in the eyes of the remaining Light Envoys.

Merlin's figure gradually flew out of the Great Light Dimension and stood in the Void Zone. Quietly, he watched one of the light streams. He could sense that in that particular light stream, there was a terrifying power that caused even him to feel threatened!

"Swish."

The Great Light Honorable Lord wore long robes as white as snow, and his entire body was encapsulated in a layer of white light. Added with Merlin's golden radiance, the resulting illumination formed a breathtaking scene.

Chapter 875: An Encounter and A Vicious Battle!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The Golden Ray Armor… I see!"

The Great Light Honorable Lord stood quietly in the void. His gaze seemed to bore holes into everything. Even Merlin felt an inkling of threat.

With just a single glance, the Great Light Honorable Lord was able to tell that Merlin was wearing the Golden Ray Armor and could wield its strength. Although the Great Light Honorable Lord appeared unfazed on the outside, his heart underwent a massive lurch.

The Great Light Honorable Lord had controlled two of the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions. Naturally, he knew of the formidable prowess of the Golden Ray Armor. The armor was used by the Vestigial Tribe to fight against supreme existences such as the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. Such powers had far exceeded even the third-grade ultimate existences.

All these years, the reason for his continuous search for the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions could be summed up to one main reason – to locate the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Armor.

Now, the Golden Ray Armor had finally appeared before his eyes. Moreover, Merlin was able to operate it despite not possessing any Vestigial Tribe blood, so the Great Light Honorable Lord was even more thrilled.

"That's right. Since you know it's the Golden Ray Armor, why did you come to die?"

Merlin's tone was also very calm.

"Haha, come to die? You may be wearing that armor but you're not really from the Vestigial Tribe. How much of the Golden Ray Armor can you possibly wield? At best, you're just another third-grade ultimate existence like me. Why should I be afraid? However, it's such a waste for the Golden Ray Armor to be worn by you. If I obtain it and study it for a long time, I'm sure that I'll be able to discover the true use of the Golden Ray Armor. By then, I'll be comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors!"

The ancient Thirty-six Emperors were widely recognized by the entire Void Zone as the pinnacle existences.

However, the war with the Vestigial Tribe saw not only the extermination of the Vestigial Tribe but also heavy losses suffered by the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. As to how many of them were left today, no one knew.

Nowadays, even the fourth-grade Emperor Lords were few and far in between, much less the Thirty-six Emperors.

It was far too difficult for the Great Light Honorable Lord to achieve the fourth grade Emperor Lord just relying on himself. However, if he had obtained the Golden Ray Armor, his powers would soar. Not only would he be comparable to the fourth-grade ultimate existences, but even the ancient Thirty-six Emperors.

Seeing the greed surfacing in the Great Light Honorable Lord's eyes, Merlin smiled. Back then, the two Curved Horn Creatures and the three Light Guardians as well as the Great Light Honorable Lord now, would reveal their greed upon spotting his Golden Ray Armor.

Nevertheless, the two Curved Horn Creatures and three Light Guardians were dead!

Battle. There were no more words wasted. They descended into battle – a legendary battle between third-grade ultimate existences!

"Boom."

The Great Light Honorable Lord initiated an attack. He transformed into a source of light and began to pour forth a scorching ray that burned everything!

Originally, the Great Light Honorable Lord's light rays were very warm and genial. However, these rays now had metamorphized into a deadly force that emitted infinite powers.

At this moment, the Great Light Honorable Lord did not care about the Great Light Dimension, the Great Light Region or any of his subordinates. All he saw was Merlin!

After all, the Great Light Region, even added with the two Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions, was not as precious as a Golden Ray Armor.

"Chi chi chi."

On the surface of Merlin's Golden Ray Armor, the golden rays were suppressed. A layer of white flames appeared and burned continuously. Merlin felt a slight trace of heat.

Merlin finally put away his slack and heightened his guard. This was the first time he was completely suppressed in the Golden Ray Armor. If he continued down this path, the Golden Ray Armor might not be damaged but he would be injured.

"Gravitational field!"

Merlin growled softly. A twisted vortex appeared before him. Once the white rays were sucked into this vortex, they appeared to be twisted and swallowed, thus disappearing without a trace.

This not only contained the gravitational field but also the ability to disintegrate the power of the natural order. Otherwise, he would not able to battle a third-grade ultimate existence like the Great Light Lord God.

Moreover, Merlin had also activated the Golden Ray Armor fully. Faced against the Great Light Honorable Lord, he would have to give his all.

"Gravitational field? I have it too!"

The Great Light Honorable Lord looked calm. A huge piece of shimmering inky-black metal appeared before him.

"Anti-gravitational field!"

The huge black metal vibrated gently. Then, an invisible surge of power rushed into Merlin's vortex. The vortex paused slightly, and instantly broke apart.

"The Vestigial Tribe's gravitational field device?"

Merlin knew that the Vestigial Tribe's most powerful gravitational field devices could resist gravitational force. Merlin's Golden Ray Armor was also capable of resisting gravitational force. It was just that no one had ever wielded a gravitational field on him.

The Golden Ray Armor was merely a combination of all the Vestigial Tribe's most powerful abilities. Combined, they possessed a virtually unstoppable force.

Without the gravitational field, Merlin was not deterred. The golden radiance on his body seemed to shine even brighter. He gave up using other tactics, and took a step forward.

"Swish."

Merlin's figure disappeared. Following that, he appeared in front of the Great Light Honorable Lord and, without any hesitation, simply threw a punch at the Great Light Honorable Lord.

"Thud."

The Great Light Honorable Lord was prepared. The power of the natural order inside his body sprang out, melded into a fist, and met Merlin's punch head-to-head. This was the formidableness of the third-grade ultimate existences. The power of the natural order inside their bodies had been transformed into an entire subspace. It was not the power of the natural order that had to accumulated bit by bit but had already been accumulated to unimaginable levels.

Therefore, even if they were to rely on the power contained within their bodies alone, the amount of the power of the natural order available to the third-grade ultimate existences was essentially endless. They did not have to worry about running out of the power of the natural order. Moreover, due to the long-term accumulation inside their bodies, their power of the natural order was even more solid.

Merlin's punch was ineffective but he did not stop at one. He launched consecutive punches. Every direction was filled with the swing of his fist.

This was an attack of pure strength. Every hit would consume a lot of energy but could also easily kill a second-grade ultimate existence. In addition, this was an attack of tens of thousands of punches that came from every direction. It seemed like the air was filled with the shadow of his swinging fists.

The Great Light Honorable Lord's expression grew grimmer. He also had many different abilities from the Vestigial Tribe but Merlin had the Vestigial Tribe's ultimate weapon. Thus, in comparison, his weapons would not be useful.

Therefore, the Great Light Honorable Lord could only rely upon his own inherent strength. Even so, the Great Light Honorable Lord was a force to be reckoned with. The power of the natural order inside his body was accumulated layers upon layers, seemingly inexhaustible.

Furthermore, as long as the Great Light Honorable Lord willed, the Void Zone would concoct a massive clout of the power of the natural order. The power of the natural order had been brewing from the very beginning, gathering its strength. Normally, in a battle between third-grade ultimate existences, they would not mobilize the power of the natural order. This was because if both opponents were third-grade ultimate existences, both sides were able to mobilize the power of the natural order, so such a move was meaningless.

Merlin, however, was different. He was not a real ultimate existence but merely a Lord. He could not mobilize the power of the natural order. It was only due to the Golden Ray Armor that catapulted him into becoming a mighty existence which was comparable to a third-grade ultimate existence.

"Thud thud thud thud."

One punch after another landed. Merlin's speed increased but the Great Light Honorable Lord's defense was also extremely durable. The white light rays grew intense. Throughout this entire time, the Great Light Honorable Lord did not attack but merely defended himself.

However, it did not mean that he was not going to attack. Instead, he was gathering strength. In the Void Zone, the power of the natural order was gradually converging menacingly. The ominous force caused even the second-grade ultimate existences to feel powerless. Merlin, too, raised his head to look at the power of the natural order converging in the Void Zone.

Merlin also felt the incredible force. Ultimately, the power of the natural order was the most powerful force in the Void Zone. The power of the natural order that a third-grade ultimate existence had spent so much time mobilizing was certainly terrifying!

According to rumors, when the ancient Thirty-six Emperors had mobilized the power of the natural order, no matter how powerful the defense of the Vestigial Tribe's dimensions, all of them would be annihilated in an instant. No power could withstand it!

While a third-grade Great Light Honorable Lord was far from comparable to the ancient Thirty-six Emperors, the power of the natural order that he had mobilized was still relatively horrifying. Regardless of Merlin's frenzied attacks, it did not seem to disrupt the Great Light Honorable Lord from mobilizing the power of the natural order.

"Haha, enjoy the Void Zone's power of the natural order."

The Great Light Honorable Lord waved his hand. Suddenly, the terrifying power of the natural order exploded.

"Boom."

Merlin's figure was completely submerged under the power of the natural order. It was akin to being crushed by a gigantic mountain. For a moment, the destructive aura even overshadowed Merlin's aura.

It was difficult to imagine that Merlin would survive this blow.

The power of the natural order surged menacingly. Any dimension that was grazed even the slightest, was instantaneously destroyed. The fluctuation of the power of the natural order rippled endlessly in every direction.

"Crack."

Just the aftershocks alone had destroyed millions of dimensions around them, including the Great Light Dimension. Additionally, the destruction was unleashed by the Great Light Honorable Lord himself. This was because in the Great Light Honorable Lord's eyes, there was only Merlin and the Golden Ray Armor!

Even if the entire Great Light Region was destroyed, as long as he could obtain the Golden Ray Armor, it was worth it. The Great Light Region could be rebuilt but if he missed the Golden Ray Armor, he would never be able to obtain it ever again.

For this reason, the Great Light Honorable Lord chose to kill Merlin no matter what the cost, to obtain the Golden Ray Armor!

Under the shroud of the power of the natural order, Merlin's aura could no longer be detected.

"After all, you're not an ultimate existence. So, what if you've obtained the Golden Ray Armor?"

A smile appeared between the Great Light Honorable Lord's lips.

"Is that so? I may not be an ultimate existence but still, you can't kill me!"

An icy voice reverberated from the chaotic aftermath around them, freezing the smile on the Great Light Honorable Lord's face.

Chapter 876: A Peek at the Void Zone's Secret!

"What? Not dead yet?"

The Great Light Honorable Lord's face shifted dramatically. Unquestionably, his last attack could not have been withstood by any third-grade ultimate existence. However, there Merlin was, standing unharmed before him.

Merlin's expression was very calm but his gaze was extremely harsh as he watched the Great Light Honorable Lord like a hawk. To be honest, the Great Light Honorable Lord's last attack indeed had made Merlin feel threatened.

If he was an ordinary third-grade ultimate existence, for sure he would not be able to withstand the hit. Even if he somehow did not die, he would have been grievously injured and unable to fight the Great Light Honorable Lord.

Nevertheless, Merlin was wearing none other than the Golden Ray Armor. Perhaps, Merlin could only manipulate the Golden Ray Armor's abilities up to the level of a third-level ultimate existence. However, the Golden Ray Armor could only be destroyed by a supreme existence such as the ancient Thirty-six Emperors.

Therefore, Merlin was not severely injured, merely shaken. With the Golden Ray Armor in hand, Merlin held an impregnable edge in his fight with the Great Light Honorable Lord.

"It's my turn!"

A cold glint flashed past Merlin's eyes. His figure instantly multiplied into countless duplicates. Endless fists began to rain down relentlessly on the Great Light Honorable Lord's body.

This violent attack was made up of pure power. Not only a second-grade ultimate existence but even an ordinary third-grade ultimate existence would not be able to withstand it.

"Haha, I couldn't kill you but what makes you think you can harm me? Your abilities may be powerful but my power of the natural order is incomparably immense. Your attacks are far from the power of the natural order on my body. So, you can't harm me either!"

The Great Light Honorable Lord exuded a white light. Regardless of hundreds of thousands of Merlin's fists slamming down on the Great Light Honorable Lord, he was unable to injure him. Just like the Great Light Honorable Lord had said, despite Merlin's abilities, he was not powerful enough to crush the Great Light Honorable Lord.

Furthermore, the Great Light Honorable Lord's power of the natural order was incredibly immense. The subspace which was consolidated by the power of the natural order inside his body was unbelievably enormous. Hence, even if Merlin were to spend a few months constantly attacking the Great Light Honorable Lord, his power of the natural order would not be exhausted.

Moreover, the Great Light Honorable Lord was able to continuously consolidate more power of the natural order from the Void Zone. Thus, there was no point for Merlin to continue attacking him in this manner.

"Swish."

Hence, Merlin stopped. He looked at the Great Light Honorable Lord disdainfully.

"I can't harm you? Don't be too sure of that!"

Merlin took a deep breath. Although he had colossal amounts of energy transmuted by the original Dimension Core, Merlin was unwilling to use this energy unless he had no other choice. Hence, there was still a lot of energy left, at least ninety percent of it.

Right now, however, Merlin could no longer save it for another day. He had to kill the Great Light Honorable Lord. Thus, he must unleash his most powerful strength.

"Annihilation function!"

As soon as Merlin's voice fell, the energy inside his body began to combust. At least thirty percent of the energy was consumed by Merlin to unleash the annihilation function.

The annihilation function was pure destruction and obliteration. Therefore, just its aura alone was enough to make anyone's blood run cold. Even the Great Light Honorable Lord, who was initially unconcerned, gradually turned fearful.

This aura struck fear into his heart!

This was not the first time Merlin had wielded the annihilation function. However, unleashing an annihilation function that consumed so much energy felt completely different than before. From Merlin's perspective, the world seemed to transform before his eyes. All he saw now was threads of the power of the natural order.

The power of the natural order was like faint threads which connected every dimension. Even the Void Zone which did not have any time and space was filled with the power of the natural order.

"It turns out that the power of the natural order indeed controls everything…"

Merlin was contemplative. Such a sight could not be seen by a third-grade ultimate existence but instead, only the legendary Emperor Lords or fourth-grade ultimate existences.

The first-, second-, and even third-grade ultimate existences were accumulating the power of the natural order. Even though the power of the natural order accumulated by the third-grade ultimate existences could evolve into a subspace, it was still for the purpose of collecting more power of the natural order.

At fourth-grade, it was a substantive transformation which was different than all the other ultimate existences.

However, in the past, despite having the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin's abilities had never achieved the level of a fourth-grade ultimate existence. Right now, as he had spent almost thirty percent of energy to wield the annihilation function, he had finally broken through the critical point and achieved the level of a fourth-grade ultimate existence. The faint threads of the power of the natural order before his eyes could only be seen by a fourth-grade ultimate existence.

"These faint threads, I'm afraid, represents that the entire Void Zone will eventually meet the same outcome, which is becoming part of the Void Zone… Overcoming the power of the natural order is to break every constraint!"

It was at this very moment that Merlin had realized how difficult it was to overcome or reverse the natural order. It was virtually impossible. This was because any life form which was born in the Void Zone was already a part of the Void Zone to begin with. So, it was impossible to detach every single constraint.

The power of the natural order was created as an enticement to induce life forms in the Void Zone to integrate themselves with the origin of the natural order. This denoted placing one's personal imprint into the origin of the natural order and becoming inextricably linked with the Void Zone. In other words, they would rise and fall with the Void Zone!

This was the true reason why the Void Zone could not give birth to any existence which could overcome the natural order. Previously, Merlin did not know what overcoming or reversing the natural order signified.

Right now, however, he finally understood. Moreover, he understood why Aruba warned him not to integrate with the natural order and become an ultimate existence. The reason was that any life form which was born in the Void Zone was already inextricably linked to the Void Zone. So, overcoming the natural order, in the first place, was already a monumental challenge.

Subsequently, integrating with the natural order and becoming an ultimate existence was further entrenching the linkages with the Void Zone. Hence, taking this step meant that it was impossible to overcome the natural order. Even the powerful ancient Thirty-six Emperors would not be able to overcome it.

Multiple threads of the power of the natural order materialized before Merlin, allowing him to examine himself properly. His connection with the Void Zone was indeed quite entrenched but compared to his surroundings, his linkages seemed to be the least.

In contrast, the person with the deepest linkages was the Great Light Honorable Lord a distance away. Since he was already a third-grade ultimate existence, he was inextricably linked to the Void Zone. There was no way for him to overcome the natural order.

"The power of the natural order threads connecting my body and the Void Zone is much less. Firstly, it's because I haven't become an ultimate existence but most importantly, it's probably because my consciousness came from another world."

Merlin now discovered his advantage. He had originated from a different world hence, his connection with the Void Zone was very limited. It was only because he had occupied the body of a life form born in this Void Zone thus, he was somewhat linked.

However, compared to a life form which was born in the Void Zone, Merlin possessed a distinctive advantage.

"Annihilate!"

Merlin resumed his focus. He saw that the Great Light Honorable Lord's face finally showed a hint of fear. A highly respected ruler of a region – a third-grade ultimate existence who controlled two Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension – finally sensed the danger of death.

"No…"

The Great Light Honorable Lord roared as he mobilized every last ounce of the power of the natural order. The subspace inside his body which contained the power of the natural order almost manifested itself. Therein contained an endless supply of the power of the natural order which would never run out.

Nonetheless, a gap in power was not something that could be compensated by mere numbers. By relying on the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin's abilities had been enhanced to a fourth-grade ultimate existence. As a result, the Great Light Honorable Lord could barely put up any resistance. As soon as the power of the natural order on his body came into contact with the annihilation function, they melted away like snowflakes under the sun.

The Great Light Honorable Lord was truly terrified now. Ever since he had created the Great Light Region and controlled two of the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions as well as amassed countless first- and second-grade ultimate existences under him, he had never felt the threat of death.

No one dared to provoke the Great Light Honorable Lord. Right now, however, he was going to be defeated by Merlin. Surely, this battle was destined to propel Merlin from a nobody to a famous legend!

On the other hand, the Great Light Honorable Lord would only be mentioned occasionally, in passing, when people spoke about Merlin.

"Phew…"

Merlin's annihilation function, upon consuming nearly one-third of his energy source, was forcibly enhanced to nearly on par with a fourth-grade existence. The resulting power was beyond imagination. Even the Great Light Honorable Lord could not put up any resistance. Wherever the annihilation function traveled, everything was annihilated and turned into ashes!

Slowly, the golden light on Merlin's body dimmed and dissipated, revealing the magnificent Golden Ray Armor underneath. Earlier, when he was battling the Great Light Honorable Lord, his Golden Ray Armor could no longer remain concealed. Hence, the Golden Ray Armor had been exposed to everyone.

Regardless, at this moment, the Void Zone was inexplicably silent. There was no noise, and almost no looks of greed. So, what if that was the Golden Ray Armor? Who could take it away from Merlin?

Moments ago, Merlin had just vanquished the Great Light Honorable Lord. If even the Great Light Honorable Lord was dead, who would dare to covet Merlin's Golden Ray Armor? It would not be just greed but absolute foolishness!

Merlin still did not open his eyes. He was carefully savoring the wonderful sensation from earlier. There was certainly a substantial difference between a fourth-grade ultimate existence and the other grades.

Once his annihilation function was unleashed, his power had diminished rapidly, and the faint threads of the power of the natural order, too, disappeared without a trace.

Merlin knew that it was not because the threads had disappeared but because he no longer had the ability to see the "threads" that connected the Void Zone.

Chapter 877: The Vestigial Dimension!

The Void Zone regained its peacefulness after a part of the Great Light Region was destroyed. After all, whether it was Merlin's annihilation function or the Great Light Honorable Lord's vast power of the natural order, they were both incredibly frightening. If they could manipulate it, it would not be tough to destroy the entire Great Light Region.

Although almost half of the Great Light Region was destroyed, most of the Light Guardian second-grade ultimate existences were not lost but almost all the Light Envoy first-grade ultimate existences were killed.

That was because the Seventy-two Light Envoys had signed a slave contract with the Great Light Honorable God. If the Great Light Honorable God died, they would not live either.

As for the rest of the second-grade Light Guardians, they were terrified and did not dare to leave. Instead, they looked toward Merlin and listened to his orders.

Merlin hesitated for a moment before making the arrangements, and calmly said, "The Great Light Region no longer exists. Everyone has obtained freedom. Those who wish to stay can stay, and those who wish to leave can also leave. However, before leaving, I want to know about the two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions that the Great Light Honorable God controlled."

Merlin also wanted to force these Great Light Region ultimate existences into the Spell Caster civilization but finally gave up after careful consideration. If so many ultimate existences, especially second-grade ones appeared, they would not have a sense of belonging in the Spell Caster civilization and instead, become prone to problems.

Therefore, Merlin allowed them to leave on their own.

Many Light Guardians chose to leave but when they left, they told Merlin about the two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions the Great Light Honorable God possessed.

In the end, there was only one Light Guardian called Tuos, who stayed behind. He was shrouded in a black robe, and looked rather thin.

"Tuos, why didn't you leave?"

Merlin calmly looked at Tuos.

"I'm willing to follow Sir Merlin!"

"Follow me?"

Tuos' answer was fascinating. "Follow" meant that he would not be signing a contract but instead, take the initiative to take refuge under Merlin. This was very different from the other Light Guardians who had left one after another.

"Tuos, I've just killed your Great Light Honorable Lord but you still want to follow me?"

Merlin coldly asked.

"The Great Light Honorable Lord only has some restrictions over the Light Guardians and can't control us. Now that he's dead, our relationship with him has also ended. There's nothing wrong with following Sir Merlin."

Tuos replied evenly, his eyes flashing with a strange glint. This was undoubtedly a very bold contender.

"You're very good at seizing opportunities… Very well. First, follow me to the two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions. If you're satisfied, then I'll leave the rest of the Great Light Region in the Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions to you!"

Merlin had no intention of controlling the Great Light Region. Perhaps Tuos had also honed in on this point, and took the initiative to stay and follow Merlin. Once he took control of the Great Light Region, even if some parts were lost, the majority was still around. Tuos would undoubtedly instantly become a powerful presence in charge of a region.

This was Tuos' ambition!

"Sir Merlin, I'll take you to the two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions."

Tuos was extremely excited as Merlin nodded. He put away the eighteen Aurora warships from the Great Light Honorable Lord, and casually gave Tuos an Aurora warship. Then, they flew toward the two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions that belonged to the Great Light Honorable Lord.

"Whoosh whoosh."

The two streams of light were incredibly swift. In the Aurora warship, Merlin and Tuos soon reached the two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions. According to Merlin's senses, these dimensions were almost the same as the Spell Caster civilization's Glory City.

No power of the natural order could be sensed inside. This was a dimension used by the Vestigial Tribe specifically to imprison ultimate existences.

"Sir Merlin, this is where the Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions the Great Light Honorable Lord possessed are."

Tuos looked at the two confinement dimensions with envy. The reason why the Great Light Honorable Lord was so powerful, and how the Great Light Region could develop so quickly, was because of these two confinement dimensions.

The entire confinement dimension contained a large number of various warships as well as knowledge left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. For example, the Aurora warship was obtained by one of the confinement dimensions.

The other dimension was even more magical and had a mysterious virtual wonderland in it. Through the virtual wonderland, ultimate existences could simulate breaking through to the second-grade or even the third-grade. This was immensely useful to an ultimate existence.

Therefore, with these two Vestigial Tribe confinement dimensions, the Great Light Honorable Lord's position was extremely stable. Great Light Region had also attracted many powerful ultimate existences with the two confinement dimensions.

However, no matter how much he envied, Tuos did not dare to have any other ideas. Merlin had taken a fancy to the two confinement dimensions, so even if they were incredibly precious, Tuos did not dare to have any plans.

Furthermore, when it came to how precious something was, what could compare to the Golden Ray Armor on Merlin's body?

"Alright. You can go to the Great Light Region to integrate your forces. I'll go to these confinement dimensions."

Saying that, Merlin no longer bothered with Tuos, and directly flew into the first confinement dimension.

The moment he entered the dimension, an air similar to Glory City appeared, which indeed cut off the power of the natural order. If there were any differences, it would be that in this dimension, there were no signs of any living creatures. There was only dead silence.

Merlin was slightly disappointed. He did not sense any energy in this dimension. In other words, there was no energy that Merlin needed. The one-third of energy the Golden Ray Armor had lost would be difficult to replenish.

When Merlin flew over to a large piece of land, he suddenly felt a heavy pressure.

"Gravitational field?"

Merlin was surprised. This gravitational field was strong enough to make it difficult for Lords to move but it had no effect on ultimate existences. Furthermore, it could not be compared to the gravitational field on Merlin's Golden Ray Armor.

This continent was covered with the gravitational field, which must have been arranged by the Vestigial Tribe. The Vestigial Tribe had arranged countless such gravitational fields that left the Void Zone civilizations helpless. Only ultimate existences could ignore gravitational fields of this level.

Merlin traveled around the continent and swept his Mind Power wide before finding a base. There were many warships there but since there was no one to operate them, they were left behind in the base.

Only warships like the Aurora warship that could be operated by just one person were needed by the Great Light Honorable God. As for the other terrifying warships, even if he had them, he could not use them either.

After all, not everyone had the Matrix. The void-level warships Merlin's Glory City had manufactured were useful because the Atlans were helping the Spell Casters to master these warships. Otherwise, the Spell Caster civilization would not be able to use them no matter how many they had.

"This Vestigial Dimension has been completely emptied by the Great Light Honorable Lord. It's of no value anymore."

Merlin shook his head. There was nothing in this confinement dimension that caught his eye or had value. The warships might be very strong and be able to go against ultimate existences but they were useless to the current Merlin. Furthermore, the Spell Caster civilization was stable now and did not need these warships.

As a result, Merlin went directly to the second confinement dimension. He attached more importance to the second confinement dimension because there was the Vestigial Tribe's mysterious power – the virtual wonderland!

What was the virtual wonderland? Well, it was not clear either. Although Tuos had mentioned it before, Merlin was still confused. Was it similar to his Illusory World?

People who have not experienced it would not understand how mysterious the virtual wonderland was.

"The virtual wonderland is on the continent in the middle of the dimension!"

Merlin entered the dimension and immediately moved toward the middle of the dimension. Soon, he saw a grand hall which had an architectural style typical of the Vestigial Tribe.

However, Merlin noticed that there was energy here. Furthermore, it was not weak.

"Energy? The Vestigial Tribe left energy in this dimension?"

Merlin was overjoyed. He quickly followed the direction of the energy and began to search. Soon, he found out that there was an incomparably large energy block connected under this magnificent building.

The high condensation of this energy block seemed to and embody the Vestigial Tribe's frightening power system that could compress endless terrifying power.

At first, Merlin felt that this energy was not considered larch but he was shocked when he came into contact with it. This energy was more terrifying than the energy he had obtained in Glory City.

After all, that energy more specifically left behind by the Vestigial Tribe as the Golden Ray Armor's energy source. Furthermore, the energy was not condensed, so it had almost covered the entire dimension.

This energy was only the size of a palace but it contained more energy than the Dimension Core of Glory City. Merlin was naturally overjoyed. He entered the confinement dimensions controlled by the Great Light Honorable Lord because he wanted to find something to supplement the Golden Ray Armor's energy.

Now, he had finally found it!

"It's not an accident that such a large amount of energy would be left here. Could it have something to do with this hall?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes. He felt that the traces of energy emitted by the energy block was directly absorbed by the magnificent hall above. There must be something in that hall that was constantly consuming a large amount of energy.

"Let's take a look."

Merlin was not in a hurry to absorb this energy but he became interested in the contents of the hall, especially the virtual wonderland, which had attracted many ultimate existences. Merlin also wanted to see with his own eyes how mysterious the Vestigial Tribe's virtual wonderland was.

"Swoosh."

Without any hesitation, Merlin stepped into the Vestigial Tribe's hall.

Chapter 878: The Foundation of a Civilization!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Beep, welcome to the Virtual Wonderland!"

The moment Merlin entered the hall, a mechanical female voice sounded, causing Merlin to jump in surprise.

"Please select from various programs in the Virtual Wonderland."

Merlin then saw many strange projections appear in front of him. Fortunately, he had received a lot of knowledge regarding the Vestigial Tribe, so he naturally did not find this system strange.

The following programs were simulations of actual combat and harsh living environments. Most importantly, one could simulate an ultimate existence's power of the natural order as well as the origin of the natural order.

"Simulation, become an ultimate existence!"

Merlin hesitated for a moment before choosing to simulate an ultimate existence. Previously, Flarite failed to merge with the natural order and did not integrate his will into the origin of the natural order. Therefore, he could not become an ultimate existence.

Merlin had formed two ultimate Maxims to become a Lord but he had stopped there. Previously, Aruba had warned Merlin not to become an ultimate existence.

However, Merlin relied on the Golden Ray Armor to force his strength to reach a fourth-grade ultimate existence, barely reaching the "Emperor" level. Therefore, he finally knew the reason Aruba had warned him, and he also completely rejected the thought of becoming an ultimate existence.

However, to better understand the origin of the natural order and the power of the natural order as well as the entire Void Zone, it was naturally appropriate to simulate using this Virtual Wonderland.

"Choosing the simulation program, please wait…"

The mechanical female voice was very sweet. Merlin felt his vision turn black before his consciousness fell into a special state.

"Hum hum hum."

At this time, Merlin's Darkness Maxim and Flame Maxim broke out from his body. Layers of light hung over his head, forming a powerful Lord's life force.

This was just the beginning. Following the Darkness Maxim and the Flame Maxim, the Ice, Earth, and Thunder ultimate Maxims also appear on his body.

Merlin had a total of six elements. He had originally combined six completely different Spell Models. Therefore, his limit was forming six ultimate Maxims, and becoming a Greatest Lord.

Even without Mind Power, just by relying on these six ultimate Maxims, Merlin would not have to fear any ultimate existences. That was because an ordinary ultimate existence cannot kill him, a Lord with six ultimate Maxims.

"How strange. Even ultimate Maxims can be simulated so realistically."

Merlin felt amazed. He also knew that the "Virtual Wonderland" was more terrifying than his Illusory World. That was because not even Merlin could tell that the simulation was unreal. Furthermore, this was not controlled using Mind Power, so Merlin did not find anything wrong with it.

Merlin felt the power of the six ultimate Maxims in his body. Although Merlin had already possessed power beyond an ordinary ultimate existence, he had never experienced six ultimate Maxims. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally had to experience it.

This feeling was indeed very real. Merlin could feel that there was a huge force constantly by his side. Now, he could draw out this force with just a simple thought.

Merlin knew that this was the origin of the natural order! Only quasi-ultimate existences who were ready to integrate their will into the origin of the natural order and become an ultimate existence could sense it.

Of course, a fourth-grade Emperor-level contender would also be able to sense the origin of the natural order. However, how many Emperor-level beings were there in the entire Void Zone?

"Merge!"

Merlin felt the great force and focused his will. Suddenly, the force burst out in an instant as if nothing could stop it from arriving.

It was the origin of the natural. However, the origin of the natural order which Merlin had drawn out was at least ten times larger than the one Flarite had drawn out. The mighty force seeped out, causing others to be at awe.

It turned out that drawing out the origin of the natural order was related to the strength of the creature who wanted to become an ultimate existence. Those who were already very strong, like Merlin who had six ultimate Maxims and became a Greatest Lord, could compete with an ordinary ultimate existence. The origin of the natural order that they drew out would naturally be stronger.

For such a strong contender, once they become an ultimate existence, their strength would grow even stronger. Rumor had it that the strongest beings below ultimate existences could directly become close to a second-grade ultimate existence once they had become an ultimate existence. Furthermore, compared to other ultimate existences, it would also be easier for them to reach the third-grade from the second-grade.

Good preparation was the key to success. Countless beings below ultimate level constantly accumulated, just to explode at the final moment.

Merlin had already fully immersed himself in the simulation. His will quickly extended into the origin of the natural order. Instantly, the black and vast feeling of merging with the Void Zone appeared in Merlin's heart.

At this time, as long as he willed it, he could mobilize the power of the Void Zone to destroy countless dimensions and kill any powerful existence.

This powerful force was the power of the natural order!

"Have I successfully merge with the natural order?"

Merlin was moved. When his will merged into the origin of the natural order, there were no earth-shattering changes. There was only an incredibly unique feeling before he naturally became an ultimate existence.

Subsequently, Merlin simulated the process from first-grade to second-grade, and the simulation was also very smooth. Merlin had become a second-grade ultimate existence without encountering any difficulties. The power of the natural order in his body accumulated continuously, making Merlin feel as if he was becoming stronger every day.

However, this simulation could only reach the second-grade. The third-grade involved the evolution of the power of the natural order into space, which the Virtual Wonderland could not simulate. As for the legendary fourth-grade, the Virtual Wonderland could not do it at all.

It turned out that the Vestigial Tribe's Virtual Wonderland also had its limits. If so, the third-grade and fourth-grade Emperor-level existences existed.

Even so, the Virtual Wonderland was quite mystical and terrible. If Flarite had a simulator in the Virtual Wonderland beforehand, his chances of success would have increased greatly.

Moreover, the Virtual Wonderland had already deeply researched the power of the natural order, the origin of the natural order, and ultimate existences and was very knowledgeable. Otherwise, the Virtual Wonderland could not simulate such a realistic feeling.

"We must keep this Virtual Wonderland! It's best to leave it to the Spell Caster civilization and be used as the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization!"

Merlin was also very excited. He did not need those warships and could even give up a few Aurora warships but the Virtual Wonderland was too important. It could be used as the foundation of a civilization.

With the Virtual Wonderland, many Spell Casters in the Spell Caster civilization would be able to simulate spell construction. Although it was not as good as Merlin's automatic construction with the Matrix, it was far better than continuously perfecting the Spell Models manually, where they would fail if they were careless.

Perhaps the Vestigial Tribe only used the Virtual Wonderland to have a deeper understanding of the relationship between ultimate existences and the Void Zone or to pry into the secrets of the Void Zone.

However, this Virtual Wonderland perfectly matched the Spell Casters' weakness and was sufficient to become the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization.

Although Merlin had founded the Mind Power system, many Mind Power Masters were still juggling Spell Model construction as well. With the Virtual Wonderland, even those who had little talent for constructing Spell Models would have enough opportunities to try in the Virtual Wonderland. They could simulate the most suitable Spell Model for themselves, and no one would suffer from the collapse of Spell Models because of unstable Spell Model.

Upon this thought, Merlin began to check the entire hall and spread his Mind Power in all directions. There were no illusions here, so his Mind Power could examine the entire hall.

"It's an independent space!"

Merlin was shocked to realize that this hall was an independent space. It seemed that this space was the "Virtual Wonderland", and what was connecting this Virtual Wonderland with the Vestigial Dimension was the large energy under this hall.

Merlin finally understood why the Vestigial Tribe put such a huge amount of energy here. It was to maintain the connection between the Virtual Wonderland and the dimension. He did not know how the Vestigial Tribe created the "Virtual Wonderland" but the Vestigial Tribe had too many secrets and too knowledgeable. Merlin could not become all-knowing even with the Golden Ray Armor.

The Vestigial Tribe's power system was very complex, and the more complex it was, the more complex the knowledge system would be. The Vestigial Tribe divided their work from an early age based on the Brain of Life. Some people specialized in new technology and some more suitable for fighting and were trained to be the most powerful warriors. Others were suitable for being managers, and so on. Everyone in the Vestigial Tribe had their own duties. No one could learn everything about the Vestigial Tribe, let alone become all-knowing.

"I'll just move the entire dimension to the Spell Caster civilization!"

Merlin's only choice was to move this dimension back to the Spell Caster civilization and merge it with Glory City. Glory City would then truly become the center of the Spell Caster civilization, and its position would be incomparably strong and unshakable.

With the Virtual Wonderland, Glory City's attraction would become incomparable anywhere. Then, as long as there was enough time, it would not be too difficult for the Spell Caster civilization to develop to a scale like the Great Light Region.

Chapter 879: Return!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the quiet Void Zone, the Spell Caster civilization was flourishing again. Although there were only two ultimate existences, Merlin, the contender who had killed countless ultimate existences, was in charge. The surrounding foreign civilizations also quietly followed the Spell Caster civilization.

More importantly, the Glory Alliance was formed, tying the surrounding foreign civilizations together with the Spell Caster civilization. There was no need to be chaotic as before. The Spell Caster civilization had plenty of dimensions and only need time to slowly develop them.

Arcane Wizards Augustus and Ceci had learned how powerful ultimate existences were in the outside world, and knew that they only belonged to the weakest among them. They were at the bottom of the first-grade, but there was still the second-grade, third-grade, and even fourth-grade. Therefore, they also worked hard to accumulate the power of the natural order, storing it into their bodies, and reach the second-grade.

However, this could not be done overnight and took a long time. Fortunately, the Spell Caster civilization's environment was very stable now. However, no one knew where Merlin went.

"Boom."

Suddenly, Wizards Augustus and Ceci opened their eyes. They always paid attention to the movements around the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, they would instantly know if any large movements occurred. This was also because the Great Light Honorable Lord that Merlin went up against was not to be trifled with, and the Spell Caster civilization was always on guard.

"What happened?"

Wizard Ceci asked in a low voice.

"I'm not sure. Let's go see."

Augustus and Ceci directly summoned the Aurora warships which transformed into two streams of light and flew toward the boundary of the Spell Caster civilization. The Aurora warship was naturally much faster than the power of the natural order.

As a result, the two did not spend much time and had reached the boundary of the Spell Caster civilization. At this time, they saw a huge dimension unexpectedly appear in the Spell Caster civilization. The dimension was faintly wrapped with a huge force and was constantly moving toward the Spell Caster civilization.

"Glory Lord?"

Wizards Augustus and Ceci both felt the familiar life force but were not certain, so they called out doubtfully.

"Wizard Augustus, Wizard Ceci, the three of us will work together to move this Vestigial Dimension to Glory City."

A familiar figure indeed had appeared behind this huge dimension. It was Merlin, who had left the Spell Caster civilization a long time ago.

"This is a Vestigial Dimension?"

Wizards Augustus and Ceci both looked at this huge dimension with shock. They had never thought that the dimension that Merlin was painstakingly moving would be a Vestigial Dimension.

"That's right. This is a Vestigial Tribe confinement dimension I took from the Great Light Honorable Lord after killing him! There are some things inside that can become the foundation of our Spell Caster civilization!"

Merlin said mysteriously.

"You've killed the Great Light Honorable Lord? This can become the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization?"

Wizards Augustus and Ceci cast a glance at each other as if they could not keep up with the information. The news that came one after another was too shocking.

What kind of existence was the Great Light Honorable Lord? They were not ignorant now, and they knew that ultimate existences were divided into several grades. The Great Light Honorable Lord was a third-grade ultimate existence, and was a contender who controlled the Great Light Region with an iron fist.

When Merlin went, they were even worried about his safety. However, not only did Merlin return now but he had also killed the Great Light Honorable Lord and seized his Vestigial Dimension.

After a long moment, Augustus sighed, "Glory Lord, the Blackfire Lord and Arcane Wizard Setoh weren't wrong about you…"

Merlin's expression grew melancholic at the mention of the Blackfire Lord and Arcane Wizard Setoh, but he soon regained his composure. There were very few things that could cause his emotions to fluctuate now.

"Gentlemen, Teacher Blackfire and Arcane Wizard Setoh both wished that the Spell Caster civilization will continue to flourish. The dimension I'm moving this time can become the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization. As long as there's enough time, our Spell Caster civilization can develop into a force as large as or perhaps even stronger than Great Light Region!"

Merlin's tone was full of confidence.

Although Merlin used to support the Spell Caster civilization by himself before, the Spell Caster civilization at that time was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Without Merlin, the Spell Caster civilization would return to its original scenario immediately. It was not the strength of the Spell Caster civilization but Merlin himself.

However, if there was the Vestigial Tribe Virtual Wonderland, in a few million years, the Spell Caster civilization would surely have many ultimate existences, and there would be a large number of Lords, Honorable Legends, and Legendary Wizards. By that time, the Spell Caster civilization would be strong as a whole. Even without Merlin, the Spell Caster civilization would be able to stand in the Void Zone and become a powerful civilization!

Arcane Wizards Augustus' and Ceci's expressions gradually became solemn. They were slightly curious about what exactly was in the dimension Merlin was moving for him to be so confident.

Thus, the three of them worked together to move the Vestigial Dimension. With two extra ultimate existences, Merlin's speed naturally increased greatly. After only half a month, it was moved beside Glory City.

"Merge!"

Merlin controlled Glory City and knew that these two dimensions were two halves of one whole, and were created by the Vestigial Tribe. However, Merlin was not clear if they could merge or not. Therefore, he carefully observed the merging process of the dimensions. If anything odd happened, he would immediately stop merging.

Perhaps it was Merlin's luck or perhaps it was because the dimensions were created by the Vestigial Tribe, the two dimensions merged easily without any hiccups.

"Swoosh."

Merlin directly stepped into Glory City, and felt an extremely obvious change the moment he entered Glory City.

"Elements? The Mother Tree worked so quickly?"

How sensitive was Merlin's Mind Power? He immediately sensed that there were Elements in Glory City. They were the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization.

If there were Elements, then Glory City could truly become the sacred land of the Spell Caster civilization, and become the well-deserved core of the Spell Caster civilization.

Merlin remembered the Mother Tree once said that it would take a long time for the transformation to succeed, and not even he knew if it would succeed or not.

"Glory Lord, the Mother Tree is truly amazing. He showed his real body and changed into countless offshoot trees which deeply rooted themselves in every continent in Glory City. That's why Glory City also began to have a trace of Elements after so many years. However, these Elements are still rare, and a very long time is needed for it to increase just a little. Therefore, the transformation is only just beginning…"

Wizard Ceci explained with a smile. After Merlin left the Spell Caster civilization, it was Arcane Wizard Ceci who had looked after Glory City. He would often visit Glory City to check the situation and communicate with the Mother Tree. Therefore, he knew all about the Elements being produced in Glory City.

Merlin nodded. He was very satisfied with the Mother Tree. Although it would take a long time to transform Glory City into a regular Spell Caster civilization dimension, having the Elements now was undoubtedly a very good start.

"Gentlemen, don't you want to know what I brought back that I'd even dare call it the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization? I'll take you there now. This treasure will be a great help to let you reach the second-grade."

Merlin's mysterious smile made Wizards Augustus and Ceci more confused, so they simply followed Merlin and flew to the depths of Glory City.

Glory City had merged with the Vestigial Dimension. Since Merlin controlled Glory City, he naturally knew where the "Virtual Wonderland" in the Vestigial Dimension was.

Soon, Merlin brought the two to the front of the shrine.

"This is the treasure I brought back. From this day onward, this place will become a forbidden area. No one can enter here without the authorization of us three!"

Merlin's expression was very solemn. What was inside this shrine was not simple.

"To be able to become the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization… What is it? You must be exaggerating…"

Augustus and Ceci exchanged a glance. Both of them did not believe him. Even the land of origin could not become the foundation of the civilization.

Even the Giant Tribe's ancestral land could not be said to be the foundation. To become the foundation, it must benefit the entire civilization and enable the overall strength of the civilization to be enhanced. Only something extremely important to the civilization could be called the foundation.

Merlin revealed a smile at the corners of his mouth but did not explain further. He merely pointed at the shrine and said, "You'll know what it is when you go in and try."

Augustus and Ceci walked into the shrine with suspicion. Merlin believed that when they had felt how mystical the "Virtual Wonderland" was, they would be more excited than he was.

For the Spell Caster civilization, Spell Casters constructing a Spell Model was the foundation. If anyone solved the difficulty of constructing a Spell Model, then it could be called the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization. The Virtual Wonderland perfectly solved this problem.

Merlin's Matrix could only help him alone in building Spell Models, and was only of use to Merlin. Therefore, it was far from being the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization.

However, the Virtual Wonderland could benefit every Spell Caster. It was not an exaggeration to call it the foundation of the civilization.

The Virtual Wonderland was just as important to the Spell Caster civilization as the Brain of Life was to the Vestigial Tribe. It was because of the Brain of Life that the civilization gradually grew stronger and eventually engulfed the entire Void Zone.

However, the Spell Caster civilization would surely become stronger in the near future by relying on the "Virtual Wonderland"!

Chapter 880: Far-famed!

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin had already returned to the Spell Caster civilization but his deeds continued to spread. The entire Void Zone was too large. The Spell Caster civilization might not be known at all but the Great Light Region and the Great Light Honorable Lord were famous.

The Great Light Region had been in existence for millions of years, and the Great Light Honorable Lord was at the peak of third-grade and controlled two Vestigial Dimensions. If there was no Emperor-level, he was invincible.

However, the Great Light Honorable Lord was dead now. Moreover, he was killed by the hands of someone who had never been heard of. The impact was far beyond Merlin's imagination.

In particular, Merlin still had the Vestigial Tribe's legendary ultimate weapon- the Golden Ray Armor! Therefore, Merlin's legend was even more eye-catching.

In a deep and dark area known as the dark territory, regular contenders would not be willing to approach this territory, much less stay here.

However, there was a monster like a giant tortoise here. It quietly lay in the Void Zone, seemingly deep in sleep.

"Rumble."

A terrible shock caused the giant tortoise to slowly awaken. Then, a strange man with three heads stepped forward to the giant tortoise.

"Awaken, Sarsen Tortoise. Something major has happened."

The Three-headed man cried, and the giant tortoise finally opened its huge eyes and looked at the man doubtfully. "Something major? What happened?"

"Haha, do you know the Great Light Region and the Great Light Honorable Lord?"

The Three-headed man laughed.

"Of course, I do. The Great Light Honorable Lord once wanted to capture me, and we even retaliated but we couldn't do anything against him. He's a very troublesome person. What about it?"

"The Great Light Honorable Lord is dead!"

The Three-headed man said a shocking piece of news.

"What? The Great Light Honorable Lord died? He was so difficult to deal with and controlled two Vestigial Dimensions. His strength even reached the peak of the third-grade. Who could have killed him? Did a fourth-grade Emperor-level contender appear?"

The giant tortoise also became alert. Its huge body only moved slightly but the Void Zone surrounding it seemed to shake.

"Would a fourth-grade Emperor-level contender appear so easily? Do you think the Great Light Honorable Lord would offend a fourth-grade Emperor-level contender? This time, it wasn't even an ultimate existence who had killed the Great Light Honorable Lord."

The giant tortoise's body shook even more violently. Its limbs stretched out and its body trembled. "Not even an ultimate existence but able to kill the Great Light Honorable Lord. There's nothing else that can do that except the Vestigial Tribe's ultimate weapon. Speak, is it the Vestigial Tribe's ultimate weapon?"

The Three-headed man nodded in surprise and said, "Yes, you're right. This person is called Merlin. It's said that he came from a very remote territory. He was lucky enough to obtain the Vestigial Tribe's ultimate weapon, a Golden Ray Armor that was comparable to the ancient Thirty-six Emperors!"

The Golden Ray Armor was a terrifying weapon that was comparable to the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. It was not surprising that even the Great Light Honorable Lord was killed. However, the giant tortoise knew about the Vestigial Tribe's secrets and said doubtfully, "He doesn't have the Vestigial Tribe's bloodline but he can use the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Armor?"

"That's what we're confused about. There might be some hidden dangers. Merlin, who obtained the Golden Ray Armor, can't fully utilize its power. Otherwise, the Great Light Honorable Lord wouldn't have been so bold as to fight with him."

A strange glint flashed in the Three-headed man's eyes.

"The Great Light Honorable Lord was foolish. Just because the other party couldn't fully utilize the power of the Golden Ray Armor, he attacked him? That's the height of foolishness. Besides the ancient Thirty-six Emperors, even an ordinary Emperor-level contender would find it difficult to destroy the Golden Ray Armor. In my opinion, the Great Light Honorable Lord grew greedy and thought he could obtain the Golden Ray Armor, and ended up getting himself killed. By the way, is the reason you woke me up to take his Golden Ray Armor? I won't go…"

The giant tortoise glanced at the Three-headed man. This news was truly shocking. The appearance of the Golden Ray Armor can cause people to go insane but he was not crazy enough to think that he could obtain the Golden Ray Armor. After all, the Great Light Honorable Lord's fate was left out in the open for all to see. He did not want to become the second Great Light Honorable Lord.

"Haha, although the Golden Ray Armor has appeared, I'm not as ambitious as the Great Light Honorable Lord. He wanted to control everything he could see. Would it be that easy to kill someone possessing the Golden Ray Armor?"

"If you didn't wake me up for the Golden Ray Armor, then what do you want?"

The giant tortoise was suspicious.

"Sarsen Tortoise, you were born with a special life, and finally reached the peak of third-stage after a long time. Although I'm a weak creature, I've reached this point today step by step but I've lost the possibility of advancing further. The legendary fourth-stage, huh. Rumor has it that only after reaching the fourth-stage can one understands the secret of the Void Zone. Only Emperor-level contenders, like the ancient Thirty-six Emperors, can grasp the secret of the Void Zone. We've lived long enough, and you've been sleeping for a long time. Don't you have any desires?"

"Desire?"

The giant tortoise seemed to fall into its memories. A long time passed before it raised its head and asked, "You mean, to enter that place?"

"Yes. Only then can we go further!"

A trace of madness crept into the Three-headed man's eyes.

"You're insane… However, it seems to be worth looking forward to!"

The giant tortoise also revealed a little smile. Just like the Three-headed man had said, he had lived long enough. For a long time, all that he did was sleep, to the point where he lost the meaning of life. That was because he could no longer go any further.

However, only fourth-grade ultimate existences could truly know the mystery of the Void Zone and stand at the apex. He was willing to take risks to get just a glimpse of this mystery.

"That place is too dangerous for both of us. We've invited the Great Light Honorable Lord before but he didn't have the guts to go in. Hmph, now he tried to be brave and obtain the Golden Ray Armor but the results caused a fatal disaster for himself. However, this person who has the Golden Ray Armor is more suitable than the Great Light Honorable Lord. With him around, we'll have more assurance when entering that place."

There was a faint hint of expectation in the Three-headed man's eyes. He had waited too long for this day. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.

"Alright, then let's go find the person who had killed the Great Light Honorable Lord…"

The giant tortoise and the Three-headed man swiftly left the dark territory.In a prosperous territory, in a grand hall, an ultimate existence with a single horn on his head was indulging himself in a few concubines. At this moment, a purple light suddenly entered the palace, and a burly foreign person with a domineering life force appeared.

"Violetfire King, why have you come to my shrine?"

This purple figure was the Violetfire King of Violetfire Region and was also a peak third-grade ultimate existence.

"Honorable God Blackfrost, as one of the most powerful gods in the Void Zone, don't you want to go one step further and command the gods' territory, and reproduce the glory created by the Darkness God Emperor, one of the original Thirty-six Emperors?"

The Honorable God Blackfrost's face was cold. He was the strongest existence among the gods in the Void Zone and was at the peak of the third-grade. In the past, he also had fought under the only God Emperor of the Thirty-six Emperors against the Vestigial Tribe.

Unfortunately, there was only one Emperor-level god in the war, and the Darkness God Emperor – one of the Thirty-six Emperors, died in the hands of the Vestigial Tribe. From then on, the gods also declined. Now, many foreign civilizations in the Void Zone were not afraid of gods at all.

"Boom."

The Honorable God Blackfrost's body was covered with a layer of black ice. The temperature of the entire shrine plummeted as if able to freeze even consciousnesses.

"Violetfire King, get to the point!"

The Honorable God Blackfrost was very impolite. The mention of the Darkness God Emperor hit a sore nerve, and he did not allow anyone to speak about the Darkness God Emperor. As one of the most powerful gods under the Darkness God Emperor, the Honorable God Blackfrost was very eager to reproduce the Darkness God Emperor's glory. However, after so many years, he knew that he would never enter the realm of a God Emperor.

After all, there were many gods in the Void Zone but only the Darkness God Emperor became a God Emperor. Since there was no more hope, the Honorable God Blackfrost naturally stopped trying, and indulged himself every day in a stupor.

"Haha, Honorable God Blackfrost, if you can still get mad, then that means you haven't let it go yet. Do you know about the Great Light Honorable Lord?"

"The Great Light Honorable Lord? Why are you mentioning him?"

The Honorable God Blackfrost asked coldly. Although he had not met the Great Light Honorable Lord before, as someone who was also a peak third-grade ultimate existence, the Honorable God Blackfrost naturally had heard of him before.

"The Great Light Honorable Lord is dead! Furthermore, he was killed by someone who wasn't even an ultimate existence."

The Violetfire King delivered a piece of shocking news.

"The Great Light Honorable Lord is dead? He was killed by someone who wasn't even an ultimate existence? Did the Vestigial Tribe reappear?"

As an ultimate existence who had fought with the Vestigial Tribe in the past, the Honorable God Blackfrost was very familiar with the Vestigial Tribe. Moreover, he did not want to encounter that powerful civilization again in his life.

After all, the Darkness God Emperor died in the hands of the Vestigial Tribe.

"It's not the Vestigial Tribe but it's related to them. When the Vestigial Tribe was annihilated, not a single drop of their bloodline was left behind. How can the Vestigial Tribe appear again? That person is called Merlin. He's from a remote territory but for some reason, he possesses a Golden Ray Armor. Furthermore, he can even use the Golden Ray Armor. Although he can't utilize its full strength, he still killed the Great Light Honorable Lord with the special and powerful Golden Ray Armor."

The Violetfire King explained in detail.

The Honorable God Blackfrost suddenly raised his head and sneered, "Violetfire King, you want to seize the Golden Ray Armor? Haha, you don't know how powerful the Vestigial Tribe is? Even the Great Light Honorable Lord was killed. That Golden Ray Armor is comparable to the ancient Thirty-six Emperors, but you still dare to seize it?"

"Honorable God Blackfrost, Merlin can't fully utilize the power of his Golden Ray Armor, and he's not a descendant of the Vestigial Tribe. According to my observation, he can only use it a few times and barely reach the strength of a fourth-grade Emperor-level. You used to be under the Darkness God Emperor and had seen many fourth-grade Emperor-level contenders. I also know you have life-saving methods that can temporarily resist a fourth-grade force. If you and I work together, won't our chances at success be much higher?"

"Is that so? What if we obtain the Golden Ray Armor? There's two of us, but only one Golden Ray Armor!"

"I'm different from you. I only want to obtain the Golden Ray Armor and experience the feeling of my strength increasing to the fourth-grade. Thereafter, I'll give you the Golden Ray Armor. How about that?"

The Violetfire King's words deeply moved the Honorable God Blackfrost. He also knew that the Violetfire King's understanding was very high, and that he always wanted to enter the fourth-grade but had never succeeded.

He only took a fancy to the Golden Ray Armor because it would let his strength reach the fourth-grade. Furthermore, the Violetfire King was very powerful as well. If the two of them worked together, they were very likely to succeed.

Furthermore, the Honorable God Blackfrost had some life-saving methods. Even if it was against an Emperor-level ultimate existence, he could calmly escape.

"Fine, it's a deal. I'll go!"

After pondering for a long time, the Honorable God Blackfrost finally raised his head. His heart had moved long ago!

881 Uninvited Guest I

The news spread all over the Void Zone. The Great Light Honorable Lord died in the hands of someone who had the Golden Ray Armor. It was a treasure that made many people crazy.

In particular, associating the Golden Ray Armor with the Vestigial Tribe which once swept through the Void Zone made people's imaginations go wild. However, they only kept those thoughts to themselves. Those who had thoughts about it took note about the Great Light Honorable Lord's fate. He was a peak third-grade ultimate existence but he was still killed.

In other words, if they did not reach the fourth-grade Emperor-level or did not have any means of competing with a fourth-grade ultimate existence, they did not dare to have any hope.

Therefore, the entire Void Zone exclaimed in surprise at the emergence of another overlord.

However, there were some people who wanted to go to the Great Light Region to understand the situation. During this time, the Great Light Region had become much livelier. There were numerous first-grade and second-grade ultimate existences, and even a rarely seen overlord. There were also quite a few third-grade contenders.

As the current Lord of the Great Light Region, Tuos had been complaining endlessly. He did not dare to offend these ultimate existences, so he could only say exactly what happened in the Great Light Region. Fortunately, most of the ultimate existences left in a hurry after confirming that the Great Light Honorable Lord was killed by Merlin. A great existence like that was beyond their power to provoke.

\"Hum.\"

Suddenly, two special figures appeared in the Great Light Region in the Void Zone. One of the figures was a terrifying giant tortoise, and beside the tortoise was a strange man with three heads.

\"Lord of the Great Light Region, come out.\"

The giant tortoise roared loudly, and the several dimensions in the surroundings shook as if they would collapse. For just a shout to have such terrifying power, he was a third-grade ultimate existence. Furthermore, he was no less frightening than the Great Light Honorable Lord.

Tuos was somewhat helpless. He already felt strained when dealing with second-grade ultimate existences. After all, there was more than one second-grade ultimate existence. However, now, a great existence comparable to the Great Light Honorable Lord had appeared. He felt somewhat humbled as the \"Lord of the Great Light Region\".

However, Tuos did not dare to ignore the call. Just look at how terrifying that giant tortoise was. If he did not go, he was afraid that the entire Great Light Region would be destroyed.

\"Swoosh.\"

Thus, Tuos quickly appeared in front of the giant tortoise and the Three-headed man, and said respectfully, \"Are you two here for Wizard Merlin?\"

\"That's right. Where's Merlin?\"

Tuos explained slowly, \"Wizard Merlin has already returned to his territory called the Spell Caster civilization. I have a detailed dimension map here. If you want to, you'll be able to find Wizard Merlin by following this dimension map.\"

\"He has left? Give us the map.\"

The Three-headed man took the dimension map, and frowned. Merlin's territory was too far from the Great Light Region, and they did not have any Aurora warships unlike the Great Light Honorable Lord did. They had to fly using the power of the natural order. Although the speed was not slow, it would take a long time for them to reach their destination.

\"There's no other choice. We'll have to move slowly.\"

The giant tortoise and the Three-headed man glanced at each other and immediately turned around, heading toward the route on the dimension map and flying toward the Spell Caster civilization.

\"They finally left. That giant tortoise was really powerful!\"

Tuos sighed deeply in relief. He could feel that the giant tortoise's strength was incredibly strong. Although it was comparable to the Great Light Honorable Lord, it was very likely that it was slightly stronger than the Great Light Honorable Lord. Fortunately, he had managed to send them away. Otherwise, if they went on a rampage, the entire Great Light Region would be destroyed in an instant.

Just as Tuos was about to leave, a slight chill appeared, almost making him feel as if the power of the natural order was frozen. Tuos was alarmed and quickly looked around.

\"Crack.\"

There was no time and space in the Void Zone but now, there was a layer of black solid ice in the Void Zone. Tuos was a second-grade ultimate existence, so he could see at a glance that this was no ordinary ice. It was formed by the power of the natural order.

He immediately thought of a certain terrifying existence. He paled and asked respectfully, \"Is it the Honorable God Blackfrost?\"

\"Haha, not bad. There are still people who remember me!\"

A black-robed figure appeared in front of Tuos. It was the Honorable God Blackfrost. Beside him was a man wearing a purple robe with purple flames flashing around his body. Tuos also instantly recalled the special image, and cried in horror, \"The Violetfire King?\"

Both the Violetfire King and the Honorable God Blackfrost were overlords who controlled a territory. The Honorable God Blackfrost, in particular, was extremely old. There was no one older than him among the overlords in the Void Zone.

Rumor had it that the Honorable God Blackfrost worked under the Darkness God Emperor in the past and participated in the war with the Vestigial Tribe. However, that was only hearsay, and only a few people knew about the actual situation. Tuos was a trusted aid of the Great Light Honorable Lord, so he heard the Great Light Honorable Lord mention the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King before. They were existences that absolutely must not be provoked.

That was enough to show that even the Great Light Honorable Lord feared these two. Now, the two of them came to the Great Light Region together. It was definitely because of Merlin.

\"Are you two here for Wizard Merlin?\"

\"That's right. Where's Merlin?\"

The Violetfire King asked coldly. Ever since the Great Light Honorable Lord died, Merlin's name had spread throughout the Void Zone. There was almost no one left who did not know Merlin's name.

\"Wizard Merlin has long left the Great Light Region and returned to his Spell Caster civilization. If you're looking for Wizard Merlin, I have a dimension map here. You'll be able to find him by following the coordinates on the map.\"

Tuos respectfully gave them the dimension map. He did not dare to slight these two overlords that even the Great Light Honorable Lord did not dare to offend.

\"That far? He hides pretty quickly. Honorable God Blackfrost, we'll have to spend some time on the road. Let's go!\"

The Violetfire King and the Honorable God Blackfrost received the dimension map and did not make things difficult for Tuos. They directly mobilized the power of the natural order and left. However, from their tone, Tuos knew that Merlin was truly in trouble this time.

\"Before, it was the giant tortoise and the Three-headed man. Now, it's the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King. I'm afraid Merlin's in trouble…\"

Tuos muttered in a low voice. Many people were looking for Merlin but the strongest were those four, especially the Honorable God Blackfrost. He faintly pressured the Great Light Honorable Lord before.

Although Merlin had the Golden Ray Armor, even he would feel some pressure with so many contenders. However, it was none of Tuos' business. Now, he just had to integrate the Great Light Region, and focus his efforts on maintaining it.The Spell Caster civilization was a thriving scene. It had been more than one thousand and eight hundred years since Merlin returned.

One thousand and eight hundred years might be a short period to many foreign civilizations. It was considered nothing at all to ultimate existences. A Slothful Beast would have just fallen asleep. When a Slothful Beast slept, it slept for tens of thousands or even millions of years. Just a thousand or so years was nothing at all.

However, one thousand and eight hundred years was a very long time for the entire Spell Caster civilization. After all, it only took three thousand years for the Spell Caster civilization to enter the Void Zone and start the war with the Atlan civilization. Now, more than one thousand and eight hundred years had passed, and the Spell Caster civilization had shown explosive growth.

The first was the Mind Power system created by the Glory Lord. It was not inferior to the Spell Caster system. Since its founding, it had been favored by many Spell Casters who had difficulty constructing Spell Models. Therefore, the Mind Power system had developed rapidly. Currently, countless Mind Power Masters had reached the Seventh-level, and formed a Mind Heart.

There were also many Mind Power Masters who had reached the Eighth-level and the stage of Hallucinating Spells. Furthermore, it was precisely because of these Eighth-level Mind Power Masters that Mind Power Masters realized that they could skip levels. For those who did not have strong Mind Power, it was like being crushed.

For a time, many people wanted to become Mind Power Masters. However, although it was easier for Mind Power Masters to start, when it came to the later stages especially the Eighth-level Hallucinating Spells, and the Ninth-level Illusory Heart, it was extremely challenging.

At present, there were no Ninth-level Illusory Heart Mind Power Masters, and Merlin was the only one with the Tenth-level Illusory World. Furthermore, he had not reached a point where his Illusory World was accomplished yet.

The Mind Power System continued to grow but the Spell Caster system also changed tremendously. Numerous \"prodigious\" Spell Casters were born one after another. Moreover, the biggest difficulty for a Spell Caster was to construct spells. However, it was not a problem anymore now. It was all thanks to the \"Virtual Wonderland\".

In Glory City, when the Glory Lord introduced the Virtual Wonderland and let any Spell Caster freely use it, the Spell Caster civilization developed explosively. In the Virtual World, they could simulate any Spell Model and try to construct it. Unstable ones would slowly be eliminated.

Therefore, in the end, Spell Casters would always find the most suitable Spell Model for themselves. Almost all the Spell Casters who used the Virtual World could try to construct their own Spell Models.

The emergence of the Virtual Wonderland undoubtedly greatly improved the strength of the Spell Casters as well as the success rate of constructing Spell Models. It had truly become a cornerstone of the entire Spell Caster civilization.

As a result, the difficulty for Spell Casters to construct spells had decreased, and many Spell Caster chose to become Mind Power Masters. The two systems did not have any conflicts on the Spell Caster, and could even boost and complement each other.

All these changes were thanks to Merlin. Now, Merlin had become the most powerful contender in the Spell Caster civilization as well as the spiritual symbol of all Spell Casters!

Chapter 882: Uninvited Guest ll

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Glory City, the Elements were increasing as colossal trees could be seen everywhere. These were all the Mother Tree's offshoot trees as he transformed the entire dimension of Glory City.

After such a lengthy transformation, Glory City had indeed been completely renewed, and possessed richer, denser Elements, and welcomed an increasing number of Spell Casters.

Of course, the Spell Casters were not here because of the Elements. Despite the many changes in Glory City, there was still a significant gap between the concentration of Elements here compared to the other Spell Caster dimensions.

The real reason that had brought these Spell Casters entering Glory City was because of the one and only "Virtual Wonderland" in Glory City.

The Virtual Wonderland was the foundation of the entire Spell Caster civilization. Powerful and weak Spell Casters alike, as long as they were capable, would enter Glory City.

Fortunately, Glory City was vast at a size of almost tens of thousands of dimensions, enabling it to accommodate plenty of people.

"This Virtual Wonderland is fascinating. Is that the Glory Tower?"

"Rumor has it that in the Glory Tower lives the greatest existence of our Spell Caster civilization, the Glory Lord. I wonder if it's true?"

Under the guidance of their elders, some of the Spell Casters who had just entered Glory City arrived before the Glory Tower. Although they were only looking at it from afar, it was enough for them as they used their own actions to express their respect to the great existence of the Spell Caster civilization.

The Mind Power system, the Virtual Wonderland, and Glory City had all appeared in the Spell Caster civilization after the rise of the Glory Lord, dividing the Spell Caster civilization into three phases.

The first phase was the Glorious Land, which was the earliest and most difficult time for the Spell Caster civilizations as they fought against gods, the most difficult battle of their history.

The second phase was when the Spell Caster civilization had rushed out of the Glorious Lands and set foot into the Void Zone, and rapidly expanded their powers. However, the same period was also accompanied by conflicts with other foreign civilizations. This was the more chaotic and dangerous time of the Spell Caster civilization.

Meanwhile, the third phase was the rise of the Glory Lord until now. Since his rise and the battle with the Atlan civilization, he had continuously creating miracles and saving the entire Spell Caster civilization, and had led them all the way to become the most powerful of the surrounding civilizations.

Moreover, he had even left behind a "Virtual Wonderland", a treasure which had revolutionized the Spell Caster civilization which was almost the very foundation of the current Spell Caster civilization.

As such, the Glory Lord had far surpassed Augustus and Ceci, the two Arcane Wizards in the hearts of all the Spell Casters, and had become the symbol of the entire Spell Caster civilization!

Currently, in the Glory Tower, the hearts of countless Spell Casters were filled with respect for the Glory Lord. While their expressions were calm and at peace, an occasional sense of confusion laced their hearts as well.

For one thousand and eight hundred years, Merlin had been immersed in his Illusory World in the Glory Tower. He used to think that the Illusory World could be perfected with time because he had already constructed a perfect natural order – a natural order that was different from the one in the Void Zone.

Throughout these one thousand and eight hundred years, the Illusory World was getting bigger, and its Illusory Civilization was growing stronger each day, conquering countless planets and stars, forming an extraordinary civilization across the infinite starfield.

Many foreign civilizations were ruled by the Illusory Civilization, and it seemed like nothing could threaten it. However, even having grown to such a degree, and the Illusory Civilization had reached full maturity, Merlin had yet to feel the perfection of the Illusory World.

That meant that there must be a problem.

The Mind Power system that Merlin had taken to reach the stage of the Illusory World was something that not even Titus had gone, and it can only be perfected by Merlin alone.

Therefore, this path was immensely difficult, and Merlin's pace was slow.

"What exactly is the problem? I can feel that the Illusory World has expanded by so much, and the Illusory Civilization's complete existence was based on the Vestigial Tribe's formula. Except, the Illusory Civilization has no such Thirty-six Emperors in the Illusory World and has, therefore, become an extraordinary civilization. Everything is perfect. So, what's wrong?"

Merlin did not know where the problem was. The Illusory Civilization was already perfect enough, so much so that they could even transform a starfield with their own powers. The fearsome celestial bodies and cosmic phenomenon meant little trouble and posed no threat at all.

This was the Illusory World that Merlin had envisioned; a perfect world. By reaching this step, it should have been perfected in Merlin's anticipations.

However, the fact was that the Illusory World was not perfect, and it had yet to reach completion. Merlin knew that he had fallen into the same predicament as Titus had once done.

When Titus had first created the Illusory World, he had felt that there was nothing else that could be perfected and it was already in the best, perfect state it could be. Yet, the Illusory World never reached full perfection.

Now, Merlin was the same.

"Whoosh."

Titus appeared. Over the past thousand years, he and Merlin had often discussed the matter of perfecting the Illusory World, but until now, neither of them had been able to figure out the inadequacies of the Illusory World.

"Merlin, you've also been trapped in a difficult situation. The Illusory World isn't something you can figure out just by thinking hard. You should leave the Glory City, leave the Spell Caster civilization, and venture into the endless Void Zone."

Titus had mentioned it many times but Merlin had not adopted his advice. In the first place, one thousand and eight hundred years was nothing for Merlin. During this time, the Spell Caster civilization was advanced by leaps and bounds as it progressed and prospered.

Secondly, he still needed to observe Virtual Wonderland. The Virtual Wonderland was created by the Vestigial Tribe to study the mystery of the natural order in the Void Zone to investigate its essence. However, by a strange series of circumstances, it had solved the difficult problem of constructing a Spell Model for the Spell Caster civilization. As such, the Virtual Wonderland had become the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization, and Merlin needed to inspect the Virtual Wonderland for any hidden dangers.

After such an extended period of observation, Merlin had learned of some shortcomings of the Virtual Wonderland. For instance, the Virtual Wonderland had consumed energy to function, and the huge energy block below the Virtual Wonderland was meant for it to consume.

As such, Merlin left the energy block alone, even though his Golden Ray Armor, too, needed the energy. This was the power that sustained the Virtual Wonderland, and the more people there were to use it, the more energy it consumed.

Although this energy block was large enough to sustain the Virtual Wonderland for hundreds of millions of years, Merlin still needed to come up with a perfect solution. This was also for the sake of his Golden Ray Armor as well as he had those from the Atlan civilization study the energy of the Vestigial Tribe.

In the end, he had managed to find some ways. The energy block created by the Vestigial Tribe was similar to the Atlan civilization's high-powered engine furnace but only with a higher transmutation rate. Thus, the Atlans designed a huge high-powered engine furnace that was capable of transmuting not only the Dimension Core but also many rare, unique energy ores into usable energy.

Although the transmutation rate was not high, it was enough to sustain the consumption of Virtual Wonderland. As for the supplement of Merlin's Golden Ray Armor, that would take a much longer time.

Now, more than a thousand years had passed, and he had only recovered half of the energy that he had spent to kill the Great Light Honorable Lord. Thus, that was his reason for staying in Glory City.

However, now it would seem that if he were not to go out, then his Illusory World would never be perfected.

"Where to first?"

This was a problem but Merlin immediately thought of the Great Light Region, which happened to be one and farthest place he had ever been to since leaving the Spell Caster

civilization.

Moreover, the Great Light Region was no remote area. Traveling there would allow him to understand the general situation of the vast regions of the Void Zone.

Merlin had made up his mind and put away his Illusory World. Just when he was about to leave Glory City, however, he suddenly sensed something and looked up.

"Whoosh."

With a flash, Merlin stepped out of Glory City. At this time, he glanced toward the two very ordinary looking figures outside of Glory City.

One appeared to be a god dressed in black robe while the other dressed in violet robe appeared a tad sinister as they both emitted the power of the natural order exclusive to ultimate existences.

These were two foreign tribe ultimate existences!

"Who are you?"

Merlin asked with creased brows. Foreign tribes that even the current him would be able to sense were no ordinary characters.

"This is indeed a remote area… The Spell Caster civilization? How interesting that a powerful being as you could come from such a weak civilization. Although, your powers are founded upon controlling the dimension of the Vestigial Tribe and obtaining the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Armor!"

Bursts of violet flame began to surround the body of the violet-robed foreign tribe member. Merlin's eyes narrowed, knowing that this was the sign of extremely condensed power of the natural order.

Only the strongest of the third-grade contenders, whose power of the natural order within had consolidated into a perfected space could amalgamate its power into such a form.

"You're one hard man to find, Merlin. We had wandered for almost two thousand years before we arrived at the Spell Caster civilization to find you."

A thrill of excitement gleamed in the violet-robed man's gaze.

"For the Golden Ray Armor?"

Merlin wondered. Two of the strongest of the third-grade contenders would certainly not have spent such an amount of time and effort to travel so far just to see him.

The only other reason left then was for the Golden Ray Armor. It appeared that he had intimidated the majority when he had killed the Great Light Honorable Lord but the truly powerful were less affected.

"That's right. Hand over the Golden Ray Armor, and tell us the secret to using its powers and we'll spare your civilization. Otherwise, we can destroy it, along with the Vestigial Tribe's dimension with ease!"

The violet-robed man's expression was sinister, clearly a contender of mass killing and violence in the Void Zone.

"Do you think you're stronger than the Great Light Honorable Lord?"

Merlin smirked. The Great Light Honorable Lord, too, was one of the strongest third-grade contenders but even he had fallen by his hands. What difference would it make even if he was faced with two of them now?

Merlin had unleashed the power of annihilation, and his powers were closely comparable to that of the fourth-grade Emperor-level. He was unafraid of any powers that could harm him.

"Buzz buzz."

Suddenly, outside of Glory City, two terrifying forces of the power of the natural order appeared once again, followed by the appearance of a colossal, giant tortoise and a

three-headed man.

Based on the fluctuations they had caused, they were at least contenders of the ultimate third-grade as well!

"Another two?"

Merlin's heart sank. He had not expected the arrival of two other foreign tribes of the third-grade.

Chapter 883: A Great Calamity!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Uh… I think someone got here before us!"

The giant tortoise and the Three-headed man looked at the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King, and realized what was going on.

"You're here for the Golden Ray Armor as well?"

Merlin's gaze was as piercingly cold as his voice when he asked.

"No, no. We're not here for the Golden Ray Armor. We're here to talk to you. Although it looks like it's not the time for that. We'll stay aside for now. We'll discuss when you've settled your affairs."

The Three-headed man had observed the scene between Merlin, the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King, and he left with a grin, taking the giant tortoise with him and leaving the three behind.

Merlin frowned. He had no idea what the giant tortoise and the Three-headed man was playing at but it was nonetheless good that they were not interfering as it was easier to deal with two than with four of them all at once.

"Oh yes, Wizard Merlin, these two are the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King. The Honorable God Blackfrost had once been a follower of the ancient Darkness God Emperor of the Thirty-six Emperors. You mustn't underestimate them!"

The Three-headed man discreetly sent a word of caution telepathically to Merlin, leaving him somewhat surprised.

"The Honorable God Blackfrost of the ancient Thirty-six Emperors?"

It was not the first time Merlin had heard about the Thirty-six Emperors but the more he learned about them, the more he realized just how powerful they were. Every contender who had followed them were not to be taken lightly as well.

"Bring it on!"

Merlin knew that this battle was unavoidable. Therefore, the Golden Ray Armor on his body unleashed a gravitational field mightily. Suddenly, the power of confinement was immediately exerted upon the Honorable God and the Violetfire King from all directions.

"Gravitational field? That won't be able to hold us!"

The Violetfire King made the first move to strike as the violet flames surrounding his body instantly flared, turning him into a fire dragon, roaring and tearing across the invisible gravitational field.

Merlin had not planned to use the gravitational field to confine these two either as he merely intended to delay their movements. As soon as the gravitational field was unleashed, Merlin's Golden Ray Armor immediately hid in the Void Zone and disappeared without a trace.

"It's gone?"

The Violetfire King was shocked. He was unable to sense anything, and Merlin seemed to have just vanished, but there was neither time nor space in the Void Zone.

"It's true, this is the real Golden Ray Armor!"

A surprised look of fascination flashed across the Honorable God Blackfrost's eyes who had been silent all this time. He had once followed the Darkness God Emperor and had seen the real Golden Ray Armor. To be able to vanish entirely from a third-grade ultimate existence such as himself was certainly the means of the Golden Ray Armor.

The Golden Ray Armors of the former Vestigial Tribe were by no means inferior to the almighty existences of the Thirty-six Emperors. However, their numbers were scarce and far fewer than the Thirty-six Emperors.

"Ice Seal!"

The Honorable God Blackfrost let out a subdued cry as the black ice on his body, all formed by the power of the natural order, defied time and space, freezing the colossal confinement dimension of the Vestigial Tribe all at once.

"Crack."

The sound of broken ice rang, and without needing to look back, both the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King knew that it was Merlin.

"Attack!"

The Violetfire King unleashed a wave of violet flames, instantly turning a perimeter of tens of thousands of miles into a sea of fire. Merlin would not be able to escape even with his speed.

On the other hand, the Honorable God Blackfrost pinpointed Merlin's exact position, and aimed with his Ice Seal.

Under such circumstances, there were not many strategies that Merlin could employ. These were two top tier third-grade existences who were cooperating. Together, they were far beyond superior to the former Great Light Honorable God.

Merlin was now at a clear disadvantage. If this continued, his situation would be very dangerous. He was already in a critical situation.

Therefore, Merlin did not continue to play tango with the two. Instead, he immediately released a third of the energy of the Golden Ray Armor.

"Annihilation function!"

Following the sound of his voice, he felt the vision before him getting wider, and the world before him changed completely. That familiar sensation returned as strands of the power of the natural order enveloped his surroundings. Whether it was the vast, empty Void Zone or that gigantic dimension in the distance, the dense threads of the power of the natural order were everywhere.

Even Merlin himself as well as the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King were enshrouded in the dense threads, especially the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King. The threads on their bodies appeared so thick and dense that they were almost indistinguishable. Merlin's on the other hand, was relatively less so.

This was a familiar scene that Merlin had seen before. He had felt it when he was dealing with the Great Light Honorable Lord. He had used the annihilate function, temporarily boosting his powers to the fourth-grade Emperor-level.

However, despite this being the second time that he had encountered such a scene, he could still feel the impact as he did back then. Those threads connected the dimension and life forms, transmitted to the endless depths of the Void Zone.

There, lied an incredible force of power, a power so strong that even the current Merlin felt intimidated and helpless. It had appeared to be the source of all the threads.

"The origin of the natural order!"

The name immediately came to Merlin's mind. The legendary origin of the natural order was said to appear when the quasi-ultimate existence ascended to ultimate existence, but that sort of origin was merely a projection of the true origin of the natural order that could not even make up for a hundred millionth of its true power.

The true origin of the natural order was the core power of the entire Void Zone, its foundation, and source of all power of the natural order. That sort of power was something that not even the ancient Thirty-six Emperors could compare.

"What an intoxicating feeling…"

Merlin closed his eyes. This powerful sensation as if he had grasped the secrets to the entire world was indeed very intoxicating. Had he not been warned by Aruba and knew of the cons of becoming an ultimate existence, he most probably would not have been able to help but to become an ultimate existence at all costs as well. No one would have been able to resist such a temptation.

However, perhaps this was just Merlin, who had gone down the path of the Mind Power system where no one else had ever done so. Otherwise, most would have probably been unbothered by the drawbacks of becoming an ultimate existence even if they knew.

To destroy the natural order and surpass the ultimate existences? This was something unfathomable by many. It was practically impossible to become an ultimate existence or an existence as powerful as the Thirty-six Emperors, let alone the task of destroying the natural order, which no one had done before?

However, Merlin was different. With his Mind Power system, once his Illusory World was perfected and completed, then, he may be able to turn fiction to reality and reverse the natural order.

To destroy the natural order and surpass the ultimate existences was not an impossible, distant dream for Merlin.

"The annihilate function… It's the annihilate function!"

"The fourth-grade ultimate existence… It's true, he can unleash the powers of the fourth-grade ultimate existences. Honorable God Blackfrost, it's up to you…"

The Violetfire King was in extreme shock. He had seen with his very eyes how Merlin's aura had soared and then, an imposing aura that rendered him breathless appeared. He knew then that this was the most terrifying annihilate function of the Golden Ray Armor.

Rumor had it that when the Golden Ray Warriors had fought with supreme existences, the Thirty-six Emperors, they had unleashed the terrifying annihilate function and its display of power was so deadly and far-reaching that even dimensions in the regions from far away had all collapsed. All those below the fourth-grade ultimate existences that encountered it were all dead, without a single survivor.

Even the Thirty-six Emperors could be killed by the annihilate function. Therefore, the annihilate function of the Golden Ray Armor had become almost a taboo that was never to be spoken of.

However, now, the annihilate function had reappeared but not in the hands of a Vestigial Tribe. It was in the hands of a life form from the Void Zone.

Merlin's annihilation function had left the Violetfire King's hands tied. The only thing he could do was to retreat far away. He had no desire to meet an end like the Great Light Honorable Lord and be blasted by the annihilation function.

Meanwhile, the Honorable God Blackfrost was well-prepared. From the moment Merlin had unleashed the annihilate function, he had sensed the threat. The sort of power that belonged only to the fourth-grade Emperor-level ultimate existences was unmistakable.

"His Majesty the Darkness God had given me three forces of power to protect myself. That power was a power that discerns the mystery of the Void Zone, and no other power could pose a threat to it as long as they did not exceed the level of the Thirty-six Emperors!"

The Honorable God Blackfrost was reluctant to use this power as he had already used it twice during the great war with the Vestigial Tribe. Now, this was his last time exercising it. Once unleashed, the powers given to him by the Darkness God will have completely disappeared.

Godly Darkness God Emperor?

Merlin's heart raced. This was the true power of the Thirty-six Emperors. He was also keen on challenging it. Thus, he maneuvered the annihilate function and blasted it toward the Honorable God Blackfrost.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the Honorable God Blackfrost unleashed a terrifying aura. At the same time, Merlin could see that the surrounding threads of the power of the natural order too, had been stirred.

Virtually, a force was constantly pressing in on Merlin from all sides, and he knew that this pressure was not from a gravitational field.

"The powers of the ancient Thirty-six Emperors…"

Merlin was shocked. Before, he had only known that the Thirty-six Emperors were all supreme existences of the fourth-grade ultimate existences, the mightiest forces of the Emperor-level, standing at the peak of ultimate existences.

Now, Merlin had realized that he was wrong. The Emperor-level may be powerful and had begun to discern the mystery of the Void Zone but the Thirty-six Emperors, they knew not only of the mystery of the Void Zone but they were almost a part of it and were capable of mobilizing the powers of the origin of the natural order.

The true origin of the natural order was the source of all the powers of the Void Zone. Any life form in the Void Zone, then, in theory, would never be able to contend with the Thirty-six Emperors. It was because the Thirty-six Emperors represented the entire Void Zone and were capable of mobilizing the powers of it!

The contenders of the fourth-grade Emperor-level ultimate existences were just beginning to understand the mystery of the Void Zone, yet the Thirty-six Emperors represented the supreme existences. At this moment, Merlin had gotten a clear understanding of the realm of the mightiest existences of the Void zone, the Thirty-six Emperors.

However, at this very moment, he was about to go against the imposing forces of the entire Void Zone, and only the true Golden Ray Warriors were capable of doing so, yet he was not even a blood kin of the Vestigial Tribe. How could he possibly become a true Golden Ray Warrior?

For a time, Merlin felt a surge of endless power seeping through the Golden Ray Armor, pressing in directly on his body. He felt the power of the Void Zone penetrating his body, seeping into his mind.

Even Merlin's foundation, the Illusory World, seemed to have been infiltrated by the force of power from the Void Zone as well. At this moment, Merlin was

Chapter 884: Realization!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Destruction, an endless, unstoppable destruction.

The Honorable God Blackfrost had the powers left behind by the Darkness God Emperor. It was not surprising that he was able to survive the battle back then.

This power had surpassed that of a common Emperor-level. Merlin had thoroughly analyzed the powers of the ultimate existences. He knew that this power was not something that he could withstand as that power represented the entirety of the Void Zone.

The Thirty-six Emperors represented the power of the Void Zone!

"Rumble."

When the ceaseless power of the natural power passed through the Golden Ray Armor and penetrated Merlin's Illusory World, it was as if a powder had been detonated as it instantaneously exploded.

The power of the natural order of the Void Zone had sensed the foreign power of the natural order in Merlin's Illusory World, and immediately regarded it as an enemy that must be destroyed.

As such, Merlin was no longer taking on the Honorable God Blackfrost alone but the entire Void Zone.

Since the beginning, Merlin had known that the Illusory World and the Void Zone were incompatible and that the Void Zone's power of the natural order should never be allowed to seep into the Illusory World. However, now, he was powerless to stop it, and could only watch as the power destroyed everything in the Illusory World.

"My God, what's that?"

"The entire universe is falling apart. Are we facing the destruction of the universe?

The Illusory Tribe civilization, as the overlord of the entire Illusory World, the vast "universe" in their eyes was now continuously destroyed and ruined. First, the planets, then, the starfield – it was all like a chain reaction of explosives as if no power in existence would be able to stop the destruction of the entire universe.

"Our Illusory Tribe civilization has come so far till this day, what else is there that's unconquerable to us? Have we angered the entire universe so that it intends to destroy us?"

The Illusory Tribe civilization was at their wit's end. The technology and powers that they had developed may be able to conquer planets and starfields, but they were powerless in the face of the destruction of the entire world. It was like the end of the world.

"It's ruined, everything's destroyed…"

Merlin could only watch as turmoil trolled through the Illusory World. One by one, the planets crumble and the starfield destroyed. His Illusory World, too, under the destruction of the natural order, was about to collapse.

Once the Illusory World collapsed, all of Merlin's efforts over the years would have been for naught, and the power of the natural order would annihilate his consciousness.

The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise were watching from a distance with heavy expressions.

"Who would've expected that the Honorable God Blackfrost would have the power left behind by the Darkness God Emperor. That was the power of the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. If Merlin was a true Golden Ray Warrior, then he was sure to win but ultimately, he was not. Although I don't know how he had managed to get his hands on a part of the power of the Golden Ray Armor, that's certainly no more than half of it, and not enough to go up against the Darkness God Emperor."

The Three-headed man said with a serious expression.

"Should we give Merlin a hand?"

The giant tortoise shook his giant head, and asked.

"Help him? We may be here to invite him but are you sure you have the power and capability to counter the Darkness God Emperor's powers? Let's wait a while longer. If Merlin dies, then we'll contact the person who's able to acquire and use the Golden Ray Armor in the end. Our target isn't Merlin but the Merlin who possesses the Golden Ray Armor. If he loses it, then there's no reason for us to have contact with him."

The Three-headed man appeared calm as he stated in a cold tone.

It was just as the giant tortoise and the Three-headed man had observed. Merlin was indeed faced with a great crisis as he was suppressed by invisible forces, and even the light on the Golden Ray Armor was growing weaker by the minute.

This was not the Honorable God Blackfrost's power but the legendary power of one of Thirty-six Emperors – the Darkness God Emperor!

"Deprive!"

Suddenly, the Honorable God Blackfrost pointed with a finger, and the invisible force began to forcibly tear apart the Golden Ray Armor on Merlin's body. The Honorable God Blackfrost, at this very moment, virtually represented the power of the entire Void Zone.

If it was the real Golden Ray Warrior integrating into one with the Golden Ray Armor, then even the Thirty-six Emperors would not be able to deprive the Golden Ray Armor, much less the Honorable God Blackfrost.

However, Merlin was only able to indirectly control the Golden Ray Armor through the sequence alone, and not a true Golden Ray Warrior recognized by the Golden Ray Armor.

Therefore, Merlin at this very moment was slowly being pried out of the Golden Ray Armor by the Honorable God Blackfrost.

A crazed, fevered look colored the Violetfire King's gaze. Had he not come all this way to the Spell Caster civilization all for this Golden Ray Armor?

As the Golden Ray Armor was slowly pried away from Merlin, the greater the suffering Merlin's body took as the intangible force increased. The endless power of the natural order flooded into Merlin's Illusory World. In an instant, the Illusory World vibrated violently as countless planets, starfield, and civilizations felt the devastating impact.

The Illusory Tribe civilization suffered an even greater calamity as the Illusory World was about to fall apart.

"Whoosh."

A figure emerged in Merlin's Illusory World – it was Titus. As a very special existence in the Illusory World, he appeared unaffected as the powers of the natural order seemed to have excluded him from the range of annihilation.

However, if the Illusory World was destroyed, then Titus would also perish along with it. Of course, he would be able to sense the crisis that the Illusory World was currently in.

"Merlin, awaken from your consciousness. The Illusory World has yet to collapse. We still have a chance to perfect it. From that point on, you'll be in total control of your Illusory World, and even the powers of the natural order won't be able to touch you once you're in the Illusory World."

With an almost roaring voice, Titus slammed into Merlin's sinking consciousness.

"Boom."

As if shocked by thunder, Merlin's consciousness gradually awakened. He had truly despaired before in vast emptiness of the Void Zone, especially now that he had ascended to the fourth-grade Emperor-level. He could feel that this was the power of the entire Void Zone, and the power of that endless origin of the natural order.

As such, at that split moment, he had fallen into despair without even the faintest will to resist.

However, now, Titus' voice had awakened him. Yes, the Illusory World was his foundation, and the Golden Ray Armor was but an external power. The Illusory World was his greatest asset.

His Illusory World was powerful and big, and even the power of the natural order had been achieved. Unlike the Void Zone, its entire operation was functioning well, and it would not fall apart simply because of an invasion from some power of the natural order.

The reason why the Illusory World appeared so defenseless right now was because it had yet to be perfected, and the entire world was yet to become one. Therefore, it was unable to mobilize its full power.

What Merlin needed to do now was to perfect the Illusory World and become one with it so that he could rely on only the powers of the Illusory World to defeat the invading power of the natural order of the Void Zone.

Only, how difficult a task was it to perfect the Illusory World?

Before, Merlin had used one thousand and eight hundred years to observe the Illusory World. He had all but watched the Illusory Tribe civilization grow from a little civilization to when it broke out of the mother planet, and finally dominated the entire universe. There were far and few forces now that could stand up against the Illusory Tribe civilization.

The Illusory World had also been constantly expanding. Although it was still relatively small in comparison to the Void Zone, it was still larger than any region occupied by any civilizations. If measured with the dimensions in the Void Zone, then the Illusory World was practically the size of ten billion dimensions.

Moreover, the Illusory World was still steadily expanding, and one day, it would reach a point where it was as far and wide as the vast Void Zone.

However, the Illusory World was never perfected, and if it was not perfect then the powers could not be integrated. Therefore, even the slightest power of the natural order was capable of breaking the Illusory World.

Nonetheless, Merlin was still unable to find the reason why the Illusory World could not be perfected. What was he to do?

Merlin's consciousness was immersed in the Illusory World, watching as it gradually falling apart and collapsing as it fell into a precarious position, hung by a thread.

Barriers had been set up before the mother planet of the Illusory Tribe civilization. This was their last resistance as they attempt to preserve some kindles of the civilization.

"Is our Illusory Tribe civilization destined to share the same fate of as those once glorious civilizations? To last but a moment on stage before turning into the ashes of history…"

When the Illusory Tribe civilization was conquering the starfield, they had also come across some very ancient civilizations. They had speculated that these ancient civilizations were once very powerful as well but they were all still destroyed in the end, and turned into a part of this vast universe; remnants of history.

This also appeared to be the cycle of the universe, and today, their turn had finally arrived. Perhaps someday, a newborn civilization would find the mother planet, and discover clues of the Illusory Tribe civilization and know that such a powerful civilization once existed.

Merlin was in control of the Illusory World. He was even able to know of all the thoughts of the life forms on it. However, at this time, many people in the Illusory Tribe civilization had mentioned the "cycle" and the ashes of history, rendering Merlin emotional.

"After the destruction comes a new life… Or perhaps, the power of destruction was a necessity for a complete world. The Illusory Tribe civilization had been too successful in the past. They conquered the universe and thought that they could do anything. There were far and few forces that were capable of going against them. However, this had violated the balance of the universe. The most important thing in a world was balance, and when there's a new life, there'll be destruction…"

Merlin thought of ancient times of the Void Zone, and that catastrophe that had swept through the entire Void Zone. The Vestigial Tribe had once been so powerful that it had led all the civilizations and foreign tribes to come together and ultimately defeating them.

Was this not balance? If the Vestigial Tribe had dominated everything, then would there even still be a Void Zone in existence? This was just like the life forms that had violated the natural order and were to be slain by the Void Zone because they had represented an imbalance.

A perfect world needed balance!

"Balance!"

At that moment, Merlin finally understood the reason why his Illusory World could not be perfected…

Chapter 885: The Accomplished Illusory World!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Strip off!"

Following the Honorable God Blackfrost's cry, the Golden Ray Armor that was already mostly stripped off was now completely snatched away. Merlin no longer had any connection to the Golden Ray Armor. Perhaps the only thing left was a link to that control program.

"Swoosh."

Currently, having lost the Golden Ray Armor, Merlin's contrived power that reached the fourth-grade Emperor-level had vanished without a trace. He was no longer able to perceive the threads of the power of the natural order. He had declined to an ordinary Lord once more.

He was merely a Lord!

"He's a goner!"

"The Golden Ray Armor was seized by the Honorable God Blackfrost… It looks like we'll have to change our cooperative target."

The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise saw that Merlin's Golden Ray Armor had been stripped away, and knew that Merlin had no chance. Although Merlin was not from the Vestigial Tribe and was not as weak as them, his true capability did not even reach the ultimate level.

Now that he had lost the Golden Ray Armor, what could he use to fight against the Honorable God Blackfrost?

The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King stared greedily at the Golden Ray Armor. Thereafter, the Honorable God Blackfrost took the Golden Ray Armor. Nonetheless, he did not obtain the specific method of using the Golden Ray Armor. Now that this armor was in his hands, it was no different from an ordinary armor.

"Merlin, hand over your method of using the Golden Ray Armor, and you can live!"

The Honorable God Blackfrost spoke icily.

Currently, Merlin who was wholly enduring the endless power of the natural order, raised his head, a strange smirk flitting over his mouth. He laughed coldly. "Is that so? You may spare my life but can you control this natural order? Haha…"

Oddly, Merlin started guffawing. At the same time, the surrounding power of the natural order swelled up and thundered toward Merlin viciously. In a flash, it submerged Merlin.

"What's going on? Disperse!"

The Honorable God Blackfrost had an unpleasant shock. Before he obtained the method of operating the Golden Ray Armor, he would not kill Merlin. Only if Merlin was alive would he have the chance to learn that method.

However, he now discovered that he could not control the power of the natural order. How mighty was the power of the Darkness God Emperor? If the Darkness God Emperor was here, he might be able to forcibly gain control. Nevertheless, he merely possessed a portion of strength gifted by the Darkness God Emperor, not even reaching an Emperor-level existence. How could he possibly control the natural order that had erupted completely?

The current power of the natural order was no longer under the Honorable God Blackfrost's control at all. Merlin knew this better than anyone. Once the Illusory World was discovered by the natural order, it would fight to its dying breath. The origin of the natural order would treat it as the greatest threat to erase. Therefore, only the Thirty-six Emperors themselves who represented the origin of the natural order could control this revolt of the natural order.

"How could this be?"

As he stared at Merlin's figure engulfed by the natural order, soon, Merlin's fragile shell shattered instantly. A life form that was not even an ultimate existence – how could he withstand such fearsome power of the natural order?

"Honorable God Blackfrost, why did you kill Merlin? Do you know how to control the Golden Ray Armor?"

The Violetfire King found it difficult to comprehend why the Honorable God Blackfrost would kill Merlin just like that. Only Merlin knew the method of controlling the Golden Ray Armor.

The Honorable God Blackfrost's face was ashen. He did not know what had just happened. Merlin's final smile made him feel like there was something fishy but Merlin was truly dead now. Even his body was torn apart by the power of the natural order.

"Since someone like him who wasn't even an ultimate existence could use the Golden Ray Armor, then we can do so too. Even if I have to spend a long time, I'll find a way!"

The Honorable God Blackfrost was not discouraged. In truth, he still had other plans. This was the Spell Caster civilization. Although Merlin had died, the civilization he left behind might hold some clues.

In short, he would obtain the method to control the Golden Ray Armor at all costs.

"What do we do with these two?"

The Violetfire King shot a look at the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise, asking in apprehension.

"Pay them no mind. It's fine as long as they don't attack us first, which I don't think they'd dare to do. First, we'll go to the Vestigial Tribe dimension that Merlin controlled!"

The Honorable God Blackfrost glanced at the giant tortoise and the Three-headed man, both of whom were peak existences at the ultimate third-grade, eyeing them carefully. In such circumstances, they did not wish for any extra trouble.

After all, he had used up the power that the Darkness God Emperor had given him.

The Violetfire King nodded. Just as he was about to leave with the Honorable God Blackfrost, an overbearing and familiar force suddenly sprang out from that chaotic vortex of the natural order.

"That force… Merlin isn't dead?"

The Violetfire King and the Honorable God Blackfrost were well acquainted with this force. It was only a puny force. Previously, they had found out that Merlin's abilities were not even on par with an ultimate existence. How strong could he be?

Even so, this force was now so tremendous, and something seemed to be different.

"His body was completely torn apart. How could he survive the power of the natural order?"

It was not just the Violetfire King, even the Honorable God Blackfrost was completely astounded. In the distance, the giant tortoise and the Three-headed man were similarly moved.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

Terrifying energy seemed to be brewing within the natural order vortex that had crushed Merlin. The power of the natural order gathered increasingly, stirring up a storm.

"Boom."

The entire Void Zone seemed to tremble as if a quasi-ultimate existence had mobilized the origin of the natural order. Everyone looked up, for a massive cloud had appeared suddenly in the dark sweep of the Void Zone.

This was not a mere cloud, but the origin of the natural order that made all ultimate existences shiver!

"The origin of the natural order, my goodness. Could he have activated the origin of the natural order to become an ultimate existence? No, this is no ordinary origin of the natural order but something even the peak of the ultimate third-grade would look up to. It's filled with destructive force…"

The Violetfire King was shouting himself hoarse as he withstood this pressure. In the instant that gigantic mass of origin of the natural order had appeared, his entire body was suppressed by the natural order that seemed to contain an overwhelming will, making him shudder.

This sensation was not the origin of the natural order mobilized by someone who wanted to become an ultimate existence.

It was not just the Violetfire King. Even the Honorable God Blackfrost who had seen many things was now staring with an open mouth. Even though he had followed the Darkness God Emperor back then, he had never witnessed such a scene.

"It looks rather like a dead end… Except that even life forms who have reversed the natural order couldn't possibly rouse such a colossal origin of the natural order."

The Honorable God Blackfrost was at a lost for the first time. He truly did not know what was happening.

"Destruction… Rebirth. This is true perfection, a true accomplishment. This is a truly complete world!"

A bodiless voice, light as a feather, drifted into their ears. Instantly, these third-grade ultimate existences were overcome with shock, staring incredulously at that vortex of the power of the natural order.

This voice was familiar to them. Earlier, they had battled with the owner of this voice.

"Splash."

That natural order vortex trashed around like a river but it was futile. Soon, a dusky layer of light swallowed everything.

A faint halo emerged in the center of the vortex, and from this halo, a figure gradually took shape. It was Merlin from before.

Merlin's force still had not changed. He was not an ultimate existence, only he did not even have any trace of a Wizard's force now. No Elements, no Maxims, only that unseen Mind Power.

Merlin's previous body was torn apart by the natural order indeed, but he did not die. The Illusory World was his core, just like the divinity of gods.

If the Illusory World was not destroyed, then he would not die. His body was a nuisance.

If this was before when Merlin's Illusory World was not perfected and thus unstable, his Mind Power would not last when he lost his body. However, earlier, as the power of the natural order invaded the Illusory World and wrecked everything, Merlin understood what his Illusory World was missing.

He was lacking the power of balance, lacking destruction, resulting in the Illusory Tribe Civilization expanding too smoothly, to the point where they could control the entire Illusory World.

Any world required checks and balances. Back then, the Vestigial Tribe of the Void Zone was too overpowering, sweeping over the Void Zone, so the Thirty-six Emperors showed up and joined forces, annihilating the Vestigial Tribe.

Similarly, in Merlin's Illusory World, the Illusory Tribe Civilization had developed too smoothly. Power was no longer in balance. If this went on, the entire universe would collapse someday.

At this time, what was needed was a destructive force. The Honorable God Blackfrost's power that attracted the natural order inadvertently created a destructive force in the Illusory World.

Destruction and rebirth had always complemented each other. Therefore, the instant the Illusory World was destroyed, it was also stabilized thoroughly. Merlin's Illusory World was finally accomplished, fully perfected!

How formidable was a perfected Illusory World? In other words, how great of a threat was it? One would know just by looking at the origin of the natural order high up in the Void Zone. Although this was merely a projection of the origin of the natural order, it was an incomparable projection. Its strength was overwhelming enough to kill fourth-grade Emperor-level ultimate existences.

This was practically the greatest strength the origin of the natural order could activate directly. When that intangible origin of the natural order of the Void Zone discovered Merlin's Illusory World that was already stabilized, it immediately made its decision.

It wanted to smother the Illusory World completely. To a Latitude Cosmo, there was no bigger threat than the Illusory World.

"The origin of the natural order…"

Merlin paid no attention to the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King. Currently, his Illusory World was already thoroughly accomplished. The strength of the refined and stabilized Illusory World had far exceeded Merlin's expectations.

His only rival was the origin of the natural order – the entire Void Zone!

The moment his Illusory World was perfected, the Void Zone had begun to reject Merlin. Moreover, this was merely the first wave of attack from the origin of the natural order.

Chapter 886: Rejected by the World!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin had already abandoned his original body. His core was the Illusory World. As long as it was not destroyed, he would never die. The previous Merlin merely hid the Illusory World within his body, preventing the power of the natural order from discovering it because at that point, the Illusory World was rather weak, unable to directly confront the Void Zone.

However, the Illusory World was perfected now, at a high level of accomplishment. It could function in a stable manner, having its own natural order. Therefore, it could directly withstand the power of the Void Zone. Merlin's body was destroyed but his Mind Power fashioned a new one. That was the Illusory World being displayed, confronting the Void Zone.

"Rumble."

The origin of the natural order rebelled completely. The power of the natural order, thick as an arm, crashed down furiously, its target being Merlin who was below that dusky light.

Merlin lifted his head and glanced at that gigantic power of the natural order. His expression was incomparably calm. At his single thought, the Illusory World rapidly grew into a huge mouth, devouring that beam of natural order instantly.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

How powerful was the natural order? Moreover, it was such a fearsome burst of the natural order, carrying the force of destruction. If it was the previous puny Illusory World, it would have collapsed immediately.

Nonetheless, the current Illusory World was already perfected, being unprecedentedly stable. Within it was the natural order Merlin had established himself. Thus, when this power of the natural order entered the Illusory World, it was swiftly suppressed, not even able to stir up a storm in the Illusory World before calm was restored.

Still, this was merely the beginning. The projection of the origin of the natural order of the Void Zone had sensed the immense threat posed by the Illusory World, so it wanted to smother the Illusory World.

"Splash splash."

Like running water, the origin of the natural order shook and gushes of the power of the natural order cascaded downward like rain. However, they contained a catastrophic power. In the distance, the Three-headed man, the giant tortoise, the Violetfire King, and the Honorable God Blackfrost were stunned at this sight, their hearts incomparably astounded.

Just the power of the current origin of the natural order was enough to wipe them out easily, yet it was only targeting Merlin now, a life form that was not even an ultimate existence.

"Not ultimate… He's not an ultimate existence. What's going on?"

"To be able to incite an attack from the origin of the natural order, more fearsome than the dead end faced by those who have reversed the natural order. What secret is this Merlin hiding?"

These ultimate existences at the peak of the third-grade knew that Merlin before them was not as simple as he appeared to be. To be able to arouse such a terrifying origin of the natural order, only the Vestigial Tribe of the past would enjoy such a "treatment".

"It's useless, Void Zone. By now, my power has solidified. This bit of energy is insufficient by far!"

Merlin chortled as if he had seen through the origin of the natural order, deep into the vast Void Zone. That boundless source of energy was the origin of the natural order.

At this point, Merlin no longer needed the Golden Ray Armor to enhance his strength. He could easily comprehend the mysteries of the entire Void Zone. The current Void Zone, in Merlin's eyes, had no secrets at all.

"Swallow!"

Merlin snorted dismissively. Instantly, his Illusory World expanded rapidly, like a lightless black hole. Not only did it swallow the endless torrent of the power of the natural order that came from the origin of the natural order, but it also seized the opportunity to devour the Void Zone's projection of the origin of the natural order all in one go.

How formidable was the strength of the origin of the natural order? Even if Merlin's Illusory World was perfected, the origin of the natural order still quaked incessantly in the Illusory World. As it quaked, the fields of stars in the Illusory World were constantly collapsing into ruins.

Nonetheless, Merlin was not worried in the slightest. With destruction came regeneration. By now, the Illusory World was thoroughly perfected. Destroying the Illusory World was practically an impossible task. Even if it was ruined, it would quickly give birth to a new world.

As long as the Illusory World's natural order was present, there was an established order. Destruction was actually rebirth!

As time passed, the origin of the natural order's energy grew weaker. Its power was constantly eroded until it was finally suppressed by the Illusory World.

At this point, the Illusory World was wildly expanding with each second. The more time passed, the stronger the Illusory World became.

The projection of the origin of the natural order was directly devoured and suppressed by Merlin's Illusory World. Merlin could sense that the immense origin of the natural order finally felt the threat. Still, it would not attack the Illusory World directly anymore because that had been its greatest strength.

Currently, the Illusory World was an even greater threat to the Void Zone than the Vestigial Tribe had been. Thus, if Merlin was not wrong, the Void Zone would deal with the Illusory World using the same method it had used toward the Vestigial Tribe. The Void Zone could reject the Illusory World completely, causing Merlin who possessed the Illusory World to become incompatible.

How did it feel to be rejected by the entire world?

Merlin could imagine it in general. Presently, he could feel the Void Zone's unparalleled hostility. No matter where he went, there would be no fortunate incidents nor treasures. Even if there were, he would only encounter various calamities.

Furthermore, from time to time, some contenders would resent him for inexplicable reasons, causing more trouble. This was the result of being rejected by the entire Void Zone.

Back when the Vestigial Tribe had swept over the Void Zone, why did it not have a single ally? With their strength, they only had to offer some benefits to entice some foreign civilizations. That would be a piece of cake, but why was it met with opposition from all of the Void Zone's civilizations and tribes?

The Thirty-six Emperors had even joined forces to deal with the Vestigial Tribe together.

Merlin finally understood now. It was not that the Vestigial Tribe was despicable, but because the Vestigial Tribe was already rejected by the Void Zone at that point. Thus, enmity would well up in any life form of the Void Zone when they met the Vestigial Tribe. From this hatred, they went on to join forces, opposing the Vestigial Tribe.

"Hated by the world?"

Merlin laughed. This was nothing. The Void Zone was merely a Latitude Cosmo. To merely protect itself, it utilized various methods. Since it was helpless against Merlin, it would use the Void Zone's forces to attack Merlin at any cost.

Right now, the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King was under this influence.

"He even swallowed the origin of the natural order. Even if this Merlin wasn't the Vestigial Tribe, he's surely more frightening than them. He'll end up destroying all our civilizations."

"This won't do. We'll have to combine many civilizations to handle this Merlin. To think that a catastrophe of billions of years has arrived once more, all thanks to one Wizard."

The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King automatically assigned Merlin as their greatest enemy, one even more fearsome than the previous Vestigial Tribe.

Naturally, they did not even perceive that perhaps they would previously think in this manner, but at most, they would flee without delay. Why would they take on the thankless task of recruiting more people to deal with Merlin?

This was because Merlin was rejected by the entire Void Zone. The Void Zone had begun to imperceptibly influence all life forms, making them hate Merlin. It would be best if they would all join forces to deal with Merlin, just like the Vestigial Tribe last time.

Of course, Merlin did not intend to let these two off the hook.

"Swish."

Merlin took a step forward without any Maxims, Elements, let alone the power of the natural order, only just Mind Power. Even though his Mind Power had not reached the stage of materializing illusions as reality, it was able to interact with the material plane, and thus the Void Zone, to a significant extent.

"The Golden Ray Armor – if it's not yours, it's not yours!"

Merlin reached forward and grabbed. The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King immediately exploded with the power of the natural order, ultimate third-grade strength that erupted without restraint.

However, in the next moment, after the Illusory World enveloped them, the power of the natural order of their bodies was rapidly suppressed and broken down. At last, they were unable to mobilize even the smallest bit of energy.

"This… What's going on?"

"Even if it's the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension, at best it could only affect my mobilization of the Void Zone's natural order. Why can't I use the power of the natural order within my own body?"

"It's not that it can't be unleashed but it's suppressed… In here, there's a frightening and entirely different natural order!"

The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King stared at Merlin with unprecedented terror. An entirely different natural order that could even suppress the power of the natural order of their Void Zone. What did this mean?

They were merely third-grade ultimate existences, unable to peep into the mysteries of the entire Void Zone. Only those fourth-grade Emperor-level existences could glimpse into the Void Zone's true secrets.

Nonetheless, they knew that the Void Zone only had one type of natural order. All life forms differentiated their strength based on their ability to mobilize this natural order.

They had never heard of a separate natural order, moreover, one that could suppress them. Did this not mean that anyone who entered Merlin's Illusory World would find their power of the natural order being stifled?

With such a consequence, what would Merlin become?

Invincible!

The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King exchanged a glance. Both of their power of the natural order was completely smothered. In the Illusory World, they were merely slightly superior to Normies. Even so, they were appalled deep down, unable to keep calm.

Invincible – they were hard-pressed to imagine anyone that could be truly invincible. Even the ancient Thirty-six Emperors had not dared to call themselves invincible.

Nevertheless, as they looked at Merlin now, experiencing Merlin's Illusory World suppressing their power of the natural order, they felt powerless.

"Catastrophe, this is a catastrophe even greater than the Vestigial Tribe taking over the Void Zone…"

The Honorable God Blackfrost was dazed and despondent, his eyes had lost the spark of life.

"Swoosh."

Merlin immediately seized the Golden Ray Armor. At the moment, this Golden Ray Armor had lost its purpose to him.

"Bang bang."

In the Illusory World, the bodies of the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King exploded instantly. The natural order in their bodies was rapidly disintegrated and overwhelmed. At last, not even a trace of their forces was left behind…

Chapter 887: Going Away

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"They're dead?" The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise exchanged a glance, each noticing the astonishment in their partner's eyes. The Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King had died without any resistance, their forces gradually vanishing.

Those were two formidable existences at the ultimate third-grade!

Merlin cast a glance at the Void Zone. The Illusory World beside him was shrouding his side at all times. Thereafter, he retracted the Illusory World into his body once more.

The loss he had suffered from his body being destroyed was undoubtedly the Matrix. Currently, he could no longer contact the Matrix. Without the Matrix, Merlin had no way of using the Golden Ray Armor.

Fortunately, by now the Golden Ray Armor was dispensable to Merlin. Even if a genuine Golden Ray Warrior were to appear, Merlin would not be inferior by much. His Illusory World was accomplished, its forces were consolidated, and it was difficult to defeat.

As for the Matrix, for a long time, Merlin did not understand it deeply but he had a general feeling that the Matrix was no longer as it was in his past life. It was able to devour other intelligent programs. The Matrix might ultimately slowly grow into a special life form which had reversed the natural order, even more powerful than the black cat Didimoss, but that would take a long time.

Merlin looked at his surroundings. After his body crumbled, the threads of the natural order attached to his body had mostly disappeared. Now, there were only very few left.

These threads meant that Merlin was still linked to the Void Zone and not completely cut off. Unless the Illusory World was materialized as reality, this connection would always exist.

Considering the Void Zone's attitude toward Merlin now, this connection was fatal. In the following period, Merlin would endure the rejection or the abandonment of the Void Zone. In other words, the current Merlin was an enemy of the entire Void Zone, just like the Vestigial Tribe of the past.

He would encounter various outrageous difficulties. This was an instinctual response of a Latitude Cosmo. Perhaps when the Vestigial Tribe created the Virtual Wonderland, they only wished to understand the Void Zone's mysteries. However, it was a shame they had never met Aruba. Naturally, they did not know this was merely the Void Zone's instinct.

"Swoosh."

Titus appeared from Merlin's Illusory World. After the Illusory World was perfected, Titus received many benefits. His Mind Power was more solid, condensing in the Illusory World just as if it was real.

If Merlin could materialize illusions as reality, Titus who was dead for who-knew-how-many years would be resurrected, completing the path he had never walked before.

"Merlin, you're able to perfect the Illusory World. Is this how a perfected Illusory World looks? Haha, now I've experienced how a refined world feels like. If I can be resurrected, who knows, I might be able to create a perfect world too!"

Titus finally had hope once more. He had seen the light. Ever since he was in the Slothful Beast, following Merlin step by step to this current stage, Titus had witnessed Merlin's every upgrade – from the constant expansion of the Illusory World to the time Merlin was at a loss – to Merlin's enlightenment in the end.

Titus had personal experience, so he was truly blessed with an exceptional advantage.

If he could be resurrected, he had a chance of creating a perfect world. Nonetheless, Merlin knew that his success could not be replicated. In truth, each Mind Power Master, though they walked a similar early path, would diverge from each other when they had reached the step of condensing the Illusory World, which was the stage of the Tenth-level Mind Power Master.

In condensing an Illusory World, no one could create the same world. Even if Titus had witnessed Merlin's Illusory World and personally gone through what Merlin had experienced, he still had no way to condense an Illusory World similar to Merlin's.

Therefore, it was immensely challenging for a Mind Power Master to perfect their Illusory World. Perhaps the Tenth-level was the most difficult juncture for a Mind Power Master. Other than Merlin, it was unlikely for another Mind Power Master to perfect their Illusory World.

"Merlin, what are you going to do about those two?"

Titus directed his gaze at the faraway Three-headed man and the giant tortoise.

"Them?"

Merlin frowned. These two foreign creatures were rather special. Earlier, they had not attacked nor aided him. He did not know what their motives were.

"Swish."

With one step, Merlin immediately came before the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise, gazing calmly at these two foreign creatures. Although his eyes were placid, these two would not be that calm, having witnessed Merlin easily slay the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King.

"Wizard Merlin, we mean you no harm."

"I know. Earlier, you didn't join in the attack."

Merlin also wished to hear what these two were up to. They had gone to the trouble of coming to the remote Spell Caster civilization. Merlin did not think they were here just to take a look at him.

Both of them drew in a deep breath. Although currently they were affected by the Void Zone too, feeling a sense of "hatred", "dread", and even "anxiety" upon seeing Merlin, they did not lose their rationality. They knew that it was best to state their purpose now or they might end up just like the Honorable God Blackfrost and the Violetfire King.

Thus, the Three-headed man said, "Wizard Merlin, to be honest, we came to borrow your strength to go to a mysterious place. That place has a relationship to Wizard Merlin's Golden Ray Armor. If both of us go in alone, it'd be dangerous but with the Golden Ray Armor, it'd be much safer. Who knows, we might be able to enter that wondrous place."

"Borrow the Golden Ray Armor's power? Is it a place of the Vestigial Tribe?"

Merlin's heart leaped and immediately thought of the Vestigial Tribe.

Back when the Vestigial Tribe swept over the Void Zone, they had affected the Void Zone tremendously. Merlin's present situation was similar to the Vestigial Tribe's situation. Therefore, understanding the Vestigial Tribe better might help Merlin's materialization of the Illusory World.

After all, Merlin's only path was to materialize the Illusory World. This was an untrodden path. Even if Aruba came again, he could not assist Merlin. In the end, this was a different path. Back when Aruba was in his own Latitude Cosmo, he had used absolute force to overcome the natural order, destroying the Latitude Cosmo he was in, and thus escaping that place.

Nonetheless, Merlin was unlike this at all. He was giving birth to another Latitude Cosmo, which even Aruba would not comprehend. After all, everyone had different ways of overcoming the natural order.

At this point, Merlin could only rely on himself!

"That's right, it's linked to the Vestigial Tribe. However, I wonder if Wizard Merlin is still able to mobilize the power of the Golden Ray Armor?"

The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise stared at Merlin in slight worry.

"I'm incapable of activating the Golden Ray Armor's power. Do you think that the current me is unable to compare to an actual Golden Ray Warrior?"

A confident smile tugged at the corner of Merlin's lips.

The hearts of the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise trembled slightly. That was right. They could not see through this present Merlin but the ultimate third-grade was no match for him. One had to at least be an existence of the ultimate fourth-grade, the Emperor-level.

If he was an Emperor-level contender, then even without the Golden Ray Armor, entering that place was not a problem at all. It was even an assurance.

"Wizard Merlin, have you decided to go?"

"Sure, why not? By now, there isn't much that'd interest me. I believe anyone would be interested in anything to do with the Vestigial Tribe."

Merlin could not even judge his own capability now but the Void Zone's origin of the natural order was powerless against him. He did not know how he would fare against the Thirty-six Emperors since he had never fought them.

"Wizard Merlin, do you need to make arrangements for your civilization? That mysterious place is way too distant, and might take over ten thousand years with just one trip."

The Three-headed man could tell that Merlin cared for the Spell Caster civilization. Otherwise, he would not spend so much time staying in the Spell Caster civilization.

"More than ten thousand years…"

Merlin fell into contemplation. He would leave the Spell Caster civilization sooner or later. After all, even if his current abilities had not reached a bottleneck, staying on in the Spell Caster civilization was meaningless.

Moreover, because of the Illusory World, Merlin was now repelled by the entire Void Zone. Merlin could not guarantee that what happened to the Vestigial Tribe would not happen to him.

At that point, the countless civilizations of the Void Zone would join forces. If existences like the Thirty-six Emperors appeared once again, Merlin might be fine, but the Spell Caster civilization would surely be doomed.

Thus, Merlin certainly would not stay in the Spell Caster civilization anymore. If he did, he would only bring catastrophe down upon the Spell Caster civilization. That would be an extinction event that Merlin would be unable to resist by himself.

"To think that things would develop to this stage… However, I still have to inform them."

Merlin unleashed a long sigh. He had never thought that after the Illusory World was perfected, he would be rejected by the Void Zone, even rousing the origin of the natural order. He had no choice but to leave the Spell Caster civilization. Otherwise, the rejection of the Void Zone was not something a mere Spell Caster civilization could withstand.

"Whoosh."

Merlin took a step out and quickly searched for Arcane Wizards Augustus and Ceci. In so many years, the Spell Caster civilization's growth was rapid, even producing quasi-ultimate existences.

Merlin briefly instructed Wizards Augustus and Ceci. In truth, there was nothing much to tell them. The Spell Caster civilization was on the right track long ago. All he had to do was hand over the controlling rights of Glory City to Wizards Augustus and Ceci.

Wizards Augustus and Ceci only knew that Merlin was going away on a journey, but did not know the present extent of Merlin's growth. Nonetheless, it was just as well. Let the Spell Caster civilization develop slowly. With the things Merlin had left behind, even if the Spell Caster civilization encountered any dangers, they could get through it safely.

Having done all this, Merlin did not delay any longer. Together with the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise, he boarded the Aurora warship and swiftly left the Spell Caster civilization, flying into the depths of the boundless Void Zone…

Chapter 888: The Dark Territory

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Void Zone was vast and boundless, endlessly spacious but there was a place which even ultimate existences would not set foot in willingly. That was the dark territory!

No one knew how large the dark territory was. Although one could sense the power of the natural order in that swathe of pitch darkness, one could not perceive the surroundings clearly, and there were no dimensions. Therefore, many ultimate existences would become lost upon entering the dark territory, forever unable to find their way out.

Currently, three streaks of light appeared outside the dark territory.

These three streaks of light were three Aurora warships, from which three figures walked out – one giant tortoise, one three-headed man, and one strange man whose body was surrounded by no trace of the natural order.

"The mysterious place you spoke of is in the dark territory?"

Merlin knitted his brow. It was not surprising that they had looked for him. Not just anyone could enter this dark territory. Rumor had it that even formidable existences at the ultimate third-grade might become lost within the dark territory, unable to find their way out forever.

It was enough to show how terrifying the dark territory was.

"That's right, it's within the dark territory. Wizard Merlin, do you dare to enter the dark territory?"

Merlin grinned without reply. He would not fall for their psychological manipulations so easily. With his present capabilities, there was nothing he had to fear in the Void Zone.

However, he still had to ascertain the matter. What was their goal?

"After entering the dark territory, there won't be any dimension coordinates. How will you locate that mysterious place?"

Merlin did not neglect these details. Locating a place within the dark territory, even a place one had visited before, was immensely difficult.

The Three-headed man fell into silent thought before finally answering, "Actually, both of us had been to that mysterious place, but we didn't succeed. So, we left behind something. As long as we enter the dark territory, we'll be able to sense it faintly."

"You've already entered that place, but even with your abilities, you didn't succeed. That means that the mysterious place has a power that's at least on par with the ultimate fourth-grade Emperor-level."

Merlin quickly deduced some information about the mysterious place from their words. A place that would make the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise so cautious was surely not that simple. At the very least, it had the power to block them. Other than the fourth-grade Emperor-level power, what else could stop them?

Merlin had experienced power at the fourth-grade Emperor-level. He knew that existences at this grade were truly at the peak. They had already comprehended the Void Zone's secrets and the countless ways they were linked to the Void Zone.

Even the ancient Thirty-six Emperors, on a certain level, were merely Emperor-level. It was just that for some special reason, they were more formidable than ordinary fourth-grade Emperor-level contenders.

"That's right, Wizard Merlin. This mysterious place is odd indeed. We can't get in but with Wizard Merlin, we're more assured!"

The Three-headed man might as well speak directly and not hide the truth, admitting that this place had frustrated them.

Merlin was silent for a moment. "Let's go in then."

The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise burst into gleeful expressions. With Merlin's participation, their assurance was undoubtedly much greater. Therefore, they led the way and flew directly into the dark territory.

In the dark territory, Merlin immediately felt a difference. Here, any senses seemed to be inhibited. Even if he used Mind Power to investigate, its range was extremely limited. His surroundings were pure darkness, and he could not see clearly.

Merlin's scope of perception was ten thousand miles at most. Anything further was out of reach. Nonetheless, to the Three-headed man, this was already terrifying. In the dark territory, they could only see up to a radius of a hundred miles, sometimes not even that.

A radius of ten thousand miles should be wide enough, but in the tremendous, borderless dark territory, a mere ten thousand miles was too microscopic. Even if they flew for tens of thousands of years, they might not find that mysterious place in the dark territory.

Merlin's Mind Power could not sense anything else. This made him more curious about the dark territory. He could sense the power of the natural order here, albeit to a lesser extent. Still, it was there. This meant that the Void Zone encompassed the dark territory.

Furthermore, Merlin found that in the dark territory, there were still threads of the power of the natural order, connected closely to the origin of the natural order in the depths of the Void Zone. This indicated that the Void Zone had firm control over this region, just that perhaps this dark territory was unsuitable for life forms.

"Have you both sensed the place?"

Merlin noticed that the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise, upon entering the dark territory, simply wandered about, starting to feel for it. Although they said they would be able to perceive the imprint they had left behind after entering the dark territory, it was still a distance away. If this distance was too great, they would be unable to sense it.

"Why don't I feel it yet? Last time, we came in here as well…"

The Three-headed man looked anxious. He could not sense his imprint. Without direct guidance, they were just blindly wandering in the dark territory. There was no practical purpose in doing so.

"Can't sense it?"

Merlin's face shifted slightly. If it could not be sensed, they could only barge around aimlessly, relying on luck, hoping that the Three-headed man would sense the imprint. Otherwise, they might become lost in the dark territory.

Merlin was sensing the origin of the natural order as well. Any fourth-grade Emperor-level contender would be able to sense the origin of the natural order. Even so, that potent force seemed to exist everywhere without a specific direction. Therefore, it was difficult to rely on sensing the origin of the natural order to leave the dark territory.

"I've got it, I've sensed the imprint. It's very faint!"

Suddenly, the giant tortoise was happily surprised to find that it could sense the imprint it had left behind. Nonetheless, this sensation was very feeble, prone to disappearing at any time.

"Come on, let's hurry. Follow the direction of that sensation."

Merlin immediately took out the Aurora warships. Three of them swiftly turned into streaks of light, heading toward the direction of that sensation.

This sensing of the giant tortoise was sporadic, but still, they had a direction. With the Aurora warship's fearsome speed, the giant tortoise's sensing finally stabilized. At a later point, the Three-headed man also felt his own imprint.

"Earlier, we must've been way too far from the mysterious place."

The Three-headed man seemed to understand now. Previously, the place where they entered was too far from the mysterious place, so they were unable to sense their imprints. However, there was another possibility, which was that the mysterious place could move on its own in the dark territory.

If it could move on its own, that was truly troublesome. Fortunately, they had sensed the imprints now with a stable connection. They should soon locate that mysterious place.

Upon fantasizing that the mysterious place might hold treasures that would help them break through to the next stage, the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise were immeasurably excited. At their level, one would never break through to the stage of the fourth-grade Emperor-level without good fortune.

Merlin's Mind Power still extended into his surroundings. Any changes occurring within this range could not escape his notice.

Merlin seized this window of time to immerse his consciousness into the Illusory World. Ever since the Illusory World was perfected, it still had not stopped expanding.

Currently, Merlin had learned the way of balance. Therefore, the Illusory Tribe Civilization might make a comeback in the Illusory World, but they would surely be met with greater disaster. The Illusory World even had a way of automatic readjustment. Once their strength had broken through to a certain critical point, the Illusory Civilization would automatically erupt with destructive power, sweeping through a majority of stars, annihilating everything.

Rebirth was only possible through destruction. Merlin was deeply enlightened on this point. Only then could the Illusory World be truly perfected, and it was constantly expanding. The previous Illusory World might not even be one ten-thousandth of the Void Zone, but at this rate of expansion, it would soon grow to a hundredth of the Void Zone or even more.

When the Illusory World had expanded to become as immense as the Void Zone someday or even bigger, Merlin found it difficult to imagine what the limit of the Illusory World would be.

As for materialization, the current Merlin had not a single clue. The experiments of anyone else had lost all practical significance to Merlin now. This final step could only be taken by Merlin himself.

"We're here!"

Suddenly, the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise stopped. Merlin looked up as well. In the dark territory, there was a white ring of light that covered a region of the dark territory.

When Merlin looked at a place now, it was different from before. What he saw was how the threads of the power of the natural order intricately linked this place to the origin of the natural order.

The density of the threads of the natural order in this place was higher than other areas of the dark territory. Therefore, it was likely that this was the mysterious place the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise spoke of.

"Let's go in."

Just as Merlin was about to enter, he was stopped by the giant tortoise who said softly, "Wizard Merlin, this mysterious place must've been created by the Vestigial Tribe. We have to be careful. Once we enter the white halo, there'll be a frightening gravitational field. Most ultimate existences would find it difficult to take even a step."

"A gravitational field that makes ultimate existences hard-pressed to take even a step?"

Conversely, Merlin became highly interested. Although he knew that this mysterious place was not ordinary, he did not expect that there would be such a powerful gravitational field here. It should be known that only Merlin's Golden Ray Armor possessed such a formidable gravitational field.

Nevertheless, the present Merlin did not fear much. He was pure Mind Power now. Why would he be afraid of a gravitational field?

"Swoosh."

With one step, Merlin immediately entered the white halo. The giant tortoise and the Three-headed man also unleashed the power of the natural order to protect themselves, and followed Merlin, stepping into the white halo.

Chapter 889: The Watchman

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the white halo, it was like another world. Luxurious buildings were everywhere, all in the Vestigial Tribe's style. Nonetheless, these buildings were all empty, without a single inhabitant.

The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise both endured the massive gravitational force. They were unlike Merlin, so they had to bear the huge pressure while Merlin was not bothered in this aspect. His body of Mind Power was unaffected by the gravity.

"This was the Vestigial Tribe's city?"

Merlin walked around casually, discovering that in the white halo was the Vestigial Tribe's city. These buildings were tall and crowded together, possibly able to house more than ten thousand Vestigial Tribe members.

However, everything was empty now as if somewhat had completely vacated the city.

"You both have been here before. What happened exactly?"

Merlin immediately questioned the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise. Both of them had come previously, enduring the immense pressure before finally facing a threat, and thus running away.

Nevertheless, now it looked as if everything was calm and quiet. Where was the threatening force?

"That's not right. The last time we came here, it wasn't like this."

The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise glanced around suspiciously. When they had come here the previous time, the situation was one of unparalleled chaos. Countless powerful beings were battling. The Gray Light Warriors, Black Star Warriors, and so on, from the Vestigial Tribe, along with third-grade and even fourth-grade Emperor-level existences from foreign civilizations, had all appeared.

They had felt that it was too dangerous, and so they fled, not expecting that upon their return now, this would be such a calm and peaceful place. If it were not for the imprints they had left behind which they could distinctly sense, they might even suspect that they came to the wrong place.

"You're saying that the last time you came here, it was incomparable chaos? In the midst of war?"

"That's right. The last time we came here, we were even injured somewhat, so we left in a hurry. It wasn't like this."

A strange glint appeared in Merlin's eyes. Although the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise had come here before, it seemed like they had not ascertained the situation. In other words, they did not know what this place was.

"Even if you had been away for a long time, it couldn't change so much all at once. Even if it did, these buildings can't be repaired in a short time, and they require people who are familiar with the Vestigial Tribe's architecture and living habits…"

Merlin closed his eyes lightly. His Mind Power started to spread outward. Upon touching these buildings, he did not find anything strange. This was not an illusion.

If it was a Hallucinating spell, what spell could fool Merlin?

"It's peculiar indeed."

Merlin did not know what this place was hiding, but it was certainly connected to the Vestigial Tribe.

"What are you guys looking for here?"

Merlin suddenly questioned the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise.

"Looking for hope!"

"Hope?"

Merlin did not quite understand.

"Hope. Only the ultimate fourth-grade Emperor-level can understand the secrets of the entire Void Zone. We've already reached the ultimate third-grade and stalled there for who-knows-how-long. So, we came here to look for hope."

The giant tortoise and the Three-headed man went through such trouble to come here, all for that small sliver of hope. Back when they were here, they had witnessed the power of the fourth-grade Emperor-level, prompting them to come here again.

Worried that they were not strong enough to reach this place, they had dragged along Merlin who had the Golden Ray Armor.

Merlin became pensive. Of course, he knew about the changes that happened at the ultimate fourth-grade. It was just as the giant tortoise and the Three-headed man said. Only at that point could one learn of the Void Zone's secrets.

Even so, this place was empty and desolate. How could there be secrets to the ultimate fourth-grade?

Merlin's Illusory World started to expand, and its ability to interact with the material plane was displayed too. He had an uneasy feeling that every movement they made was observed by someone.

"Destroy!"

Merlin immediately used his power to wreck all the buildings here. Swathes of buildings collapsed, looking like the apocalypse had arrived.

"Boom."

Suddenly, a terrifying presence was awakening, causing the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise to feel unprecedented fear. Even Merlin's heart skipped a beat.

"Are you crazy? If you don't want to die, then leave quickly!"

A soft, breezy voice came into their ears.

"Who's there?"

Merlin looked up. In the white halo, an incomparably skinny man who held a black smoking pipe had appeared at an unknown time. He was so wizened he looked like a piece of dry wood.

Nonetheless, it was this shriveled, ugly old man who stood calmly in the midst of the storm in the white halo, unaffected in the slightest.

"I'm the watchman. You fellows are too bold. Do you know what this place is?"

"The watchman? You're an ultimate fourth-grade Emperor-level existence, right?"

Merlin fixed an unwavering gaze at this old man. He had perceived the fearsome strength contained in the other person. This was a true Emperor-level existence.

Before this, Merlin did not know what difference there was between the third and fourth-grade. However, when he saw this wizened old man, he finally understood.

The fourth-grade was to take the subspace transformed from the power of the natural order one had accumulated, and gradually align it with the origin of the natural order. When the compatibility had reached a high point, this would induce a reaction from the incorporeal origin of the natural order of the Void Zone.

At that moment, the origin of the natural order in the Emperor-level existence would become a part of the Void Zone's origin of the natural order, thus forming an avatar of the origin of the natural order.

They were intimately linked to the Void Zone, and the threads of the power of the natural order would vanish because they had merged with those threads, and were a part of the origin of the natural order.

Similarly, although in this manner they could obtain immense strength by mobilizing a portion of the power of the Void Zone, they had lost their chance to overcome the natural order forever.

"Everything comes at a price… Many people might not even have thought of overcoming the natural order. After all, this is considered a way to boost one's capability. Perhaps this is what the Void Zone hoped for, not something like the Vestigial Tribe."

Many thoughts flashed across Merlin's mind. The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise, for instance, had dreamed of becoming an ultimate fourth-grade existence. Maybe this was their highest goal but it was not that easy. One had to transform the power of the natural order in oneself into a subspace, then linked it to the intangible origin of the natural order. This was highly challenging, with a low rate of success.

This shriveled old man before them was an Emperor-level existence!

The wizened old man was flabbergasted that Merlin could discern his actual situation in a glance, but as he observed Merlin, he could not sense anything special. Merlin was not even an ultimate existence. Therefore, he growled, "You're really bold to barge in here. I remember the last time, it was you two who came in here. That should have taught you a lesson. How dare you come again?"

The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise were astonished, not expecting that they had been noticed by this shriveled old man the last time they came here.

"What's this place?"

The Three-headed man asked.

"Rumble."

Suddenly, the entire white halo began to shudder. Moreover, fine cracks appeared in their surroundings seemed as if it was a mirror. It broke and fell apart, and everything finally collapsed.

It turned out that everything they saw had been artificial.

"Illusory? How come I didn't detect it at all?"

Merlin frowned. With his current Mind Power, if it was a Hallucinatory spell, it was impossible that he did not sense it at all.

"That's the Vestigial Tribe's greatest strength, a technique of the Golden Ray Warrior. Everything earlier was real, built up rapidly using energy. Now that this Golden Ray Warrior had fallen into sleep, we're now in his dreamscape. Sometimes, his dreamscape will be manifested. A Golden Ray Warrior's might isn't something you can comprehend. However, your reckless actions earlier had awakened the Golden Ray Warrior from his dreams. There'll be trouble. If you don't go, you'd be in danger."

This wizened old man hurriedly explained, and his tone was rather urgent.

"Golden Ray Warrior? This place imprisons the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Warrior?"

Merlin cried out involuntarily. At his stage, there was not much that could shock him, but the Vestigial Tribe's greatest strength, the legendary Golden Ray Warrior that could rival the ancient Thirty-six Emperors was qualified to shock Merlin.

Everything before this was real, only it was manifested from the Golden Ray Warrior's dreamscape. It was not surprising that Merlin was unable to determine that it was a Hallucinatory spell because it was real in the first place.

Nonetheless, this indirectly demonstrated how powerful the Golden Ray Warrior was. This was distinct from Merlin who had relied upon a program to control the Golden Ray Armor. Only the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Warrior was completely compatible with the Golden Ray Armor and thus, unleashed its full power.

Before this, Merlin had used up tremendous amounts of energy to barely reach the ultimate fourth-grade. The Golden Ray Warrior was a fearsome being comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors. Even in the fourth-grade Emperor-level, they were a preeminent existence.

Now that this white halo had imprisoned a Golden Ray Warrior, how could Merlin not be flabbergasted?

"To think that the Vestigial Tribe has survived, and it's a Golden Ray Warrior at that!"

Merlin's eager expression caused the wizened old man to frown, who then laughed coldly. "Soon, you'll change your mind. I'm only ordered to watch over the Golden Ray Warrior. If you insist on staying here, whether you live or die is none of my business!"

The watchman's tone was rather icy, following which he explained no further, turning immediately to leave.

Chapter 890: Breaking Free

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Rumble."

Merlin and the rest knew that this place might become dangerous. Even the fourth-grade Emperor-level watchman had said as much. This place was not that simple.

Nonetheless, none of them left. The Three-headed man and the giant tortoise had waited a long time and gone through much trouble to come here. Naturally, they did not wish to leave without getting anything.

Moreover, they believed that Merlin's strength could cope with these threats.

A thunderous crash boomed. The shattered buildings suddenly turned into a fearsome giant, whose eyes glowered at Merlin and the rest.

At this point, Merlin had sensed the obvious energy fluctuations. He had used the Golden Ray Armor before, so of course, he was exceptionally sensitive toward this type of energy fluctuations. This was truly a Golden Ray Warrior!

Although they had not seen the Golden Ray Warrior, based on how he could utilize the dreamscape and mobilize energy upon waking up, unleashing such a mystical technique, the genuine Golden Ray Warrior was terrifying indeed. He was far scarier than when Merlin had worn the Golden Ray Armor.

"It's you who disturbed my dreamscape? Despicable creatures, your souls have been reaped by the Void Zone. You've lost yourselves long ago. Die then."

The Golden Ray Warrior's voice was rather aged, but his tone revealed an endless resentment.

That colossal giant brought down a blow of frightening might. The giant tortoise immediately revealed its true self. It was a peak existence at the ultimate third-grade and excelled in survival.

"Boom."

The massive tortoiseshell displayed by the giant tortoise broke out into cracks, unable to endure a second hit. Therefore, the Three-headed man yelled to Merlin, "Wizard Merlin, let's go, it's too dangerous."

They were ready to flee, but Merlin knew that the watchman was hiding somewhere, watching them in jest. Maybe the watchman was hoping they would leave too.

"You should leave quickly. This isn't a place for you, leave now…"

The watchman's voice sounded in their ears once again.

Merlin stared at this peculiar world. What happened to the Golden Ray Warrior and the ancient Thirty-six Emperors? Even the Vestigial Tribe was wiped out. Why was this lone Golden Ray Warrior left behind?

"A familiar force…"

Suddenly, the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Warrior mumbled softly through that giant. The voice was like muffled thunder, reverberating mightily in the air.

Merlin's heart leaped. Could it be the Golden Ray Armor?

Before Merlin could confirm this, the Golden Ray Armor instantly flew out from Merlin's Spatial Ring. It should be known that the Spatial Ring was controlled by Merlin, but the Golden Ray Armor's power could transcend such restraints.

"Whoosh."

The Golden Ray Armor turned into a beam of flowing light, speeding toward the depths of the white halo in a straight line.

"Haha, it's the Golden Ray Armor. It's Beanie's Golden Ray Armor. Beanie, are you dead? Killed by that group of despicable creatures? I'll avenge you, haha…"

That terrifying voice boomed even louder, and Merlin could feel that a fearsome force was brewing wildly.

"Swish."

The watchman's face shifted greatly as he flew before Merlin and asked with shaking hands, "You… How did you get the Golden Ray Armor?"

"I got it unexpectedly. Why, is there a problem?"

"A problem? It's a catastrophe!"

"Catastrophe?"

The watchman sensed that the mighty presence was growing stronger, but he had no way out, and could only laugh coldly. "I'm under orders to watch over the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Warrior Marta. To think that you're carrying another Golden Ray Armor. Don't you know that the Golden Ray Armors can be merged? With another Golden Ray Armor, Marta can soon break free from his shackles. At that point, what is it if not catastrophe? Come with me. I'll show you your handiwork."

The watchman waved one huge hand and mystical energy enveloped Merlin, the Three-headed man, and the giant tortoise. They rapidly flew toward the storm in the white halo.

Currently, the white halo was filled with an inexhaustible storm. A moment of carelessness and one might be at risk.

Soon, they spotted a level stone platform where a Golden Ray Warrior's body was bound by the power of the natural order, which was faintly, intricately linked to the omnipresent origin of the natural order.

Furthermore, the Golden Ray Warrior was wailing mournfully. Above the Golden Ray Armor, an unfamiliar face appeared indistinctly. It was the face of the Golden Ray Warrior in the Golden Ray Armor, who seemed to be withstanding unbearable agony.

"The Thirty-six Emperors had trapped the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Warrior in this place, so why not kill him? They tortured him instead?"

Merlin could sense the other party's suffering from his voice. This suffering was surely unendurable. Otherwise, how would it cause such a formidable Golden Ray Warrior to wail with agony?

"Torture? The Thirty-six Emperors didn't torture them. Back then, the Thirty-six Emperors had wanted to kill them and had done so to quite a few Golden Ray Warriors. The Vestigial Tribe was known to have eighteen Golden Ray Warriors, but in the end, there were only three of them left. These three Golden Ray Warriors were each leader to other Golden Ray Warriors. At the same time, they had a hundred percent compatibility with the Golden Ray Armor.

"The Vestigial Tribe's armor required a strict selection. Only after receiving the armor's acknowledgment could one become a powerful warrior. In general, these warriors had over ninety percent compatibility with the armor. Only those three mightiest Golden Ray Warriors had a hundred percent compatibility.

"The Thirty-six Emperors had no way of destroying the Golden Ray Armor, but they could still slay Golden Ray Warriors who had imperfect compatibility with the Golden Ray Armor. Therefore, the eighteen Golden Ray Warriors were reduced to three, but these three had full compatibility. So, to kill them, they must be separated from their Golden Ray Armor. This massive amount of the power of the natural order in addition to energy from the origin of the natural order is used to separate the Golden Ray Warrior from his Golden Ray Armor. However, after such a long time, it's still a futile effort. Initially, he couldn't have escaped, but now you've caused a monstrous calamity."

Only at this point, the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise knew what kind of place this was. This was the place used by the Thirty-six Emperors to imprison the Golden Ray Warrior.

The Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Warrior used to be eighteen, but now there were only three left. Not that the Thirty-six Emperors did not want to kill these warriors but they could not do so. Thus, they imprisoned the Golden Ray Warrior here, tormenting him each day, hoping to separate the Golden Ray Warrior from the Golden Ray Armor. Nevertheless, how could it be that easy? A Golden Ray Warrior who had hundred percent compatibility was practically one with the Golden Ray Armor. They were indistinguishable. Separating them, even by a bit, was immensely difficult.

Furthermore, if they could not be separated, then it had to be like this. The Golden Ray Warrior was imprisoned in one spot, so the Void Zone could be peaceful.

However, all of this was ruined by Merlin. He brought the Golden Ray Armor, which was mutually linked to the other one. As a result, the Golden Ray Warrior Marta immediately used some special means to absorb the Golden Ray Armor.

Once Marta had obtained the power in the Golden Ray Armor, he might force his way out. At that point, catastrophe would sweep over the Void Zone once more.

The watchman was panicking, not just for show. Currently, the Golden Ray Armor of the Golden Ray Warrior Marta glowed with dazzling light. His eyes that had been filled with hatred gradually became tranquil.

A Golden Ray Warrior that was calm was truly scary because he had seen hope – the hope of breaking out of captivity.

The watchman's gaze toward Merlin turned increasingly hostile as he felt that it was thanks to Merlin, this Golden Ray Warrior now had a chance to escape.

Therefore, without realizing it, this watchman started harboring murderous intent toward Merlin.

"It's the Void Zone's rejection again?"

Naturally, Merlin could sense it long ago. Currently, his Illusory World covered the entire white halo. No movement could escape Merlin's notice.

Thus, even the shift in the watchman's expression was observed by Merlin. He knew that the watchman did not want to kill him, but due to being influenced by the Void Zone's origin of the natural order, he gradually grew a wish to kill Merlin.

This was the result of being rejected by the world. Once one was abandoned by the world, and anyone they met would inexplicably feel malicious toward them.

This was the world's rejection, completely different from those whom the world was fond of. Those that the world treasured would receive endless benefits no matter what. Merlin had fallen out of favor to the extreme. Even an ultimate fourth-grade existence was imperceptibly influenced to turn hostile against Merlin.

Nonetheless, ever since Merlin's Illusory World had been accomplished, he knew that this day would arrive eventually. The origin of the natural order could not directly confront Merlin, and thus, used this method. In the future, Merlin might even face a situation similar to the Vestigial Tribe's.

"Perhaps by allowing the Vestigial Tribe to re-emerge, I'll interfere with the energy of the origin of the natural order."

This thought flashed in Merlin's mind. Releasing this resentment-filled Golden Ray Warrior was not a completely unprofitable endeavor. At the very least, even if Merlin was rejected by the Void Zone, he would not be alone.

"Boom."

The Golden Ray Warrior was still struggling violently. The power of the natural order that bound him, along with energy from the origin of the natural order, was gradually overcome. Nonetheless, at this rate, it would still take a long time for him to break free from the shackles.

"Marta, I'll help you!"

Merlin cast a cold glance at the watchman. This glance caused the watchman's heart to tremble. In that instant, he felt a suffocating sensation.

"Break!"

Merlin's Illusory World swiftly enveloped this area. Simultaneously, Merlin assembled his strength, preventing the origin of the natural order outside from coming into the Illusory World any further.

Without the power of the origin of the natural order, the natural order that entrapped Marta was nothing much.

"Crack."

At last, this Golden Ray Warrior that was imprisoned for countless years had finally broken free!

Chapter 891: The Three Great Warriors I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Hahaha, a billion years passed, but I, Marta, have finally broken free from these chains. The Vestigial Tribe's prophecy master was right. The three leaders of the Golden Ray Warriors are the most important variable. The Void Zone cannot defeat us. As long as we survive, the Vestigial Tribe will not be vanquished!"

There was a burst of maniacal laughter. The man radiating a golden shimmer fiercely broke away from the shackles of the power of the natural order. Easily, his punch shattered all the power of the natural order around him.

This was pure power. Merlin did not sense a single trace of the power of the natural order from his body.

This was a true Golden Ray Warrior. Nonetheless, despite the man's immense power, Merlin could still see that the threads of power of the natural order on him were still unbroken. That meant even the Vestigial Tribe could not completely isolate themselves from the Void Zone.

Just like Merlin, although he had been rejected by the Void Zone, he was still unable to detach himself from the Void Zone. He was still inextricably linked to it.

"Marta has broken free, I've failed…"

The watchman murmured softly as his face turned hateful.

"You despicable creatures, go to hell!"

The shimmering golden light around the Golden Ray Warrior was amplified once again, then transformed into a big mouth that chomped down viciously.

"Chi."

The watchman was unable to put up any form of resistance and was "swallowed" by the Golden Ray Warrior. Even Merlin was astonished.

"The Golden Ray Warrior's power is truly formidable… He can transmute energy?"

Although Merlin's Illusory World shrouded the entire region, there was an invisible force in the Golden Ray Warrior that prevented Merlin's scrutiny.

However, Merlin could distinctly sense the familiar energy fluctuations. After swallowing the watchman, the Golden Ray Warriors' energy fluctuation grew more intense. New energy had been absorbed into his body.

This was the true terror of the Golden Ray Warriors – the ability to transmute energy. Swallowing and transmuting, they were somewhat similar to the black cat Didimoss. They were probably the same. If the black cat Didimoss managed to survive its dead end, then he would certainly be comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors. When that time comes, Dididmoss could even compete against the Golden Ray Warriors.

Regardless, the Golden Ray Warrior's fighting power was more powerful, seeing as a single punch was able to shatter the origin of the natural order. Previously, when Merlin faced the origin of the natural order, he also had to wrap his Illusory World around it, and mobilize the natural order of the Illusory World to crush it.

The Golden Ray Warrior had achieved the same feat with a single punch. This showed that the Golden Ray Warrior was not at all weaker than Merlin. Of course, merely using destructive power as a comparison was unfair. For example, Merlin's Mind Power was effective in restraining most life forms. As for the fourth-grade ultimate existences, they were a part of the origin of the natural order, so Merlin could not use his Mind Power to entrap them. However, this might not be true for the Golden Ray Warriors.

Nevertheless, Merlin did not try, so he did not know whether his Mind Power could affect the Golden Ray Warrior.

After swallowing the watchman, the Golden Ray Warrior saw Merlin and walked up to him. The golden glow gradually dissipated and revealed his real look.

The Vestigial Tribe was no different from ordinary people. Only, their ears were a little pointy and their skulls were slightly bigger. Besides that, they appeared normal. Moreover, the Golden Ray Warrior before him was also somewhat different than the ordinary Vestigial Creatures. He was completely fused with the Golden Ray Armor and could not be separated from it.

Hence, the Golden Ray Warriors could no longer be classified as a living creature, but instead a semi-living creature. All that was left was his intellect, which had fused completely with the ice-cold Golden Ray Armor.

"You brought me Beanie's Golden Ray Armor and saved me. Originally, I should reward you, but I can sense a familiar aura coming from you. Haha, that's the aura of being rejected by the Void Zone. Similar to the Vestigial Tribe, you've been rejected and shunned by this world. Did a more powerful civilization rise during the long absence of the Vestigial Tribe?"

This Golden Ray Warrior Marta was able to see through Merlin with a single glance. Different from the other ultimate existences, he did not care that Merlin had not mastered the power of the natural order. Instead, he saw that Merlin had been rejected by the entire Void Zone, thus concluded that Merlin was extraordinary.

"No, it's just me alone, due to a combination of encounters. Since you know that you're rejected by the world, do you have a solution?"

To be fair, Merlin had an idea, which was to turn his Illusory World into reality. However, this idea was far too preposterous and too impossible. It only existed within Titus' speculation, and Merlin did not have any clue as to how to turn an illusion into reality.

Therefore, it was better to hear if the Vestigial Tribe had any other solution. After all, the entire Vestigial Tribe was rejected by the Void Zone.

"Solution? Unless we break past the natural order, what other solution can there be? There's only three of us left from the Vestigial Tribe, what else can we do?"

Marta shook his head dejectedly. Although he had just broken free, it was still a little daunting to defy the entire Void Zone.

"Why don't you come with me? If you're alone, you won't be able to defy the Void Zone."

Marta looked at Merlin calmly. Marta was very surprised to discover that someone else besides the Vestigial Tribe had been rejected by the Void Zone.

Merlin did not refuse the offer. Currently, he was unclear about the consequences of being rejected by the Void Zone. Perhaps, following Marta would help him find out the true situation.

"After being imprisoned for such a long time, my energy is running low. I'll swallow this place first!"

Marta's gaze turned toward the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise. Both their faces drained pale. Earlier, they had witnessed the Emperor-level watchman being swallowed by Marta with ease, what more them.

Thinking along these lines, the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise turned toward Merlin because they saw that this vicious Vestigial Tribe Golden Ray Warrior seemed to be "friendly" towards Merlin.

"Marta, these two are my friends."

Merlin voiced up immediately. No matter what, it was the Three-headed man and the giant tortoise who had brought him here, so he could not allow them to be swallowed by the Golden Ray Warrior.

Marta glanced at Merlin and nodded. "Alright, I'll let them go. However, I'll swallow up the rest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he paid no attention to them, and began swallowing the entire white halo. The elaborate set-up by the Thirty-six Emperors was meant to imprison the Golden Ray Warrior, but ironically, became his source of energy.

Honestly, Merlin was also secretly frightened. This Golden Ray Warrior was more terrifying than he had imagined. It was not surprising that the ancient Thirty-six Emperors were unable to handle them and could only imprison them here.

The white halo gradually disappeared. Merlin sensed that Marta's aura became even more powerful. However, Marta appeared dissatisfied. He shook his head and grumbled, "Still not enough. After being imprisoned here for so many years, my transmutation ability has weakened greatly."

"Very well, let's go."

Marta led Merlin and crossed the Void Zone. Transforming into two light streamers, they vanished, leaving behind the abysmal Three-headed man and giant tortoise.

"The Vestigial Tribe hasn't been exterminated, and the most powerful Golden Ray Warriors still remain… We're in big trouble now. Will there be another massive war like ancient times?"

Recalling the cruel scenes that were recorded in ancient times, the two of them could not help but shiver. Initially, they were hoping to grow stronger, but instead, accidentally unleashed a catastrophe and caused the Golden Ray Warrior to escape.In the pitch-black dark territory, the Golden Ray Warrior Marta seemed able to distinguish his direction. At breakneck speed, he led Merlin through the dark territory.

Marta's speed was even faster than the Aurora warship that Merlin used to steer. This was a real Golden Ray Armor. Back then, Merlin was only able to mobilize a very small portion of its abilities. He was incomparable to Marta.

"Marta, where are you bringing me?"

Although Merlin's Mind Power could see his surroundings, he did not know where Marta was leading him. Merlin was not familiar with this dark territory.

"Of course, we're going to rescue the other two Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Warriors! I guess the three of us are all there's left of the Vestigial Tribe. Since the three of us have achieved one hundred percent compatibility with the Golden Ray Armor and cannot be separated from it, we cannot be killed as long as the Golden Ray Armor isn't destroyed. Hehe, the Thirty-six Emperors may be powerful, but they merely won due to their numbers. They've imprisoned us for so many years, yet they haven't found a way to kill us. Once I've rescued the other two, we'll have the ability to defy the Void Zone."

As soon as Marta mentioned the Void Zone, Merlin raised his head in epiphany. Ever since he followed Marta, there was an uncomfortable feeling as if his every move was watched.

This was normal. The three Golden Ray Warriors of the Vestigial Tribe naturally attracted more attention than Merlin, due to the massive disruption they had caused in the past. The Void Zone merely reacted according to the natural order and basic instinct.

Therefore, it looked like from now on, the Golden Ray Warriors and Merlin would face the counterattack from the entire Void Zone, including the surviving ancient Thirty-six Emperors!

"Swish swish."

The two light streams finally stopped. Marta looked at the white halo in front of him. It was the same as the one which kept him imprisoned. However, below the white halo, Merlin saw that the scene was filled with bloodshed and a sea of purgatory.

This was the dream realm of the imprisoned Golden Ray Warrior. Every Golden Ray Warrior's dream realm was different. This Golden Ray Warrior before them was trapped in a nightmare filled with bloodshed.

"This is Larkin. He's still imprisoned. I'll wake him up and help him break free!"

Marta said calmly as he watched the bloody sea of purgatory in the white halo. Following that, there was an intense energy fluctuation from his body. He roared, "Larkin, wake up!"

"Boom."

Marta's fist collided brutally with the white halo. Then, like fragile glass, cracks began to appear on the white halo and shattered into smithereens.

Chapter 892: The Three Great Warriors II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Marta, is that you?"

The white halo shattered in an instant and an even taller figure gradually appeared. He was also wearing a Golden Ray Armor. With a wave of his hand, the violent storm subsided. However, his aura seemed much weaker than Marta."

"Huh? Larkin, why do you have very little energy left?"

Marta was slightly astonished. While the energy of the Golden Ray Warriors was not infinite, their storage capacity was incredibly large. Added with their transmutation ability, their energy levels should still be plentiful even after millions of years of imprisonment.

However, Larkin had very little energy left, probably only the most essential amount.

While a Golden Ray Warrior could not die from energy exhaustion, they would fall into hibernation. Upon hibernation, the Golden Ray Armor would descend into dormant mode as well. No one knew if the Golden Ray Armor could be awoken afterward. After all, none of the Golden Ray Armors had fallen into a state of dormancy.

Right now, two out of the three great warriors had recouped.

"Marta, it really is you. Back when the three of us were imprisoned, you definitely had the biggest potential…"

Larkin's tone was nonchalant but a murderous aura seemed to be emitting from his body. He appeared more intimidating compared to Marta.

"Yes, when the three of us were imprisoned, the other Golden Ray Warriors were killed. Only three of us who achieved 100% compatibility with the Golden Ray Armor survived because they couldn't destroy the Golden Ray Armor. Why don't you recover some energy first, only then we'll rescue Myron."

The three great warriors were only lacking Myron.

Larkin, on the other hand, glanced at Merlin. "This person's aura is a little strange. He doesn't have the blood of the Vestigial Tribe, yet he's rejected by the entire world. Marta, who is he?"

This Golden Ray Warrior also discovered Merlin's uniqueness with a single glance.

"Oh? This person is called Merlin. He's indeed unique. He has also been rejected by the Void Zone, so we can consider him an 'ally' of the Vestigial Tribe," Marta replied with a trace of self-deprecating humor.

"Ally? Haha, back when the Vestigial Tribe conquered the whole Void Zone, who was our ally? I want to see for myself, why has this person been rejected by the Void Zone? Perhaps, through him, we can find the Void Zone's weakness."

Larkin smirked. Killing was in his blood. In the past, he had led the Vestigial Tribe and killed countless powerful civilizations. The amount of blood on his hands was beyond imagination.

Therefore, he did not demonstrate any restrain towards Merlin and attacked immediately. In fact, he attacked to kill.

"Hum."

Merlin sensed the change in gravitational force around him and laughed. Larkin was wielding his gravitational field. However, this gravitational field no longer had any effect on Merlin.

Nevertheless, Merlin did not intend to back away. He believed that Marta wanted to see Merlin's power too. Unless he instilled a healthy dose of respect in them today, their future relationship would be strained.

Moreover, Merlin was curious to find out whether his Illusory World could affect the Golden Ray Warriors.

"The gravitational field cannot bind me."

Merlin grinned and gently extended a hand. The Illusory World swiftly enclosed Larkin. The Mind Power inside the Illusory World began to interact with the tangible world and unleashed a huge binding force.

"Bind!"

Inside Merlin's Illusory World, he was almost omnipotent. He even held the Illusory World's most unique power of natural order. Yet, this power of natural order had not been turned into reality, so it could not be used to attack an opponent. Thus, Merlin could only mobilize Mind Power's ability to interact with the tangible world and channel it to suppress the power of natural order wielded by the ultimate existences.

For the ordinary ultimate existences, including the fourth-grade Emperor-level existences, the suppression effects of Merlin's Illusory World were unmistakable and very effective. However, these Golden Ray Warriors consisted of pure power and did not have any power of natural order. Hence, the effect on them was almost negligible.

Merlin could only rely on the Illusory World's ability to interact with the tangible world to fight against them, which was very difficult.

"Rumble".

Larkin's destructive power was utterly terrifying. After all, he was a Golden Ray Warrior and also one of the three most powerful Golden Ray Warriors. He was suppressed and imprisoned by the ancient Thirty-six Emperors until today; even they could not kill him.

Merlin's Illusory World shook violently. Larkin's attack seemed even more destructive than the origin of natural order.

"Damn it!"

Merlin's face turned grim. His Illusory World was extensive and would not be affected with a bit of loss, plus destruction would give birth to new life, but he still had to maintain the balance between destruction and new life. Therefore, large-scale destruction like what Larkin was wreaking certainly would not be good for the Illusory World.

Merlin had no other way to stop Larkin now except to mobilize the most abundant Mind Power force. He wanted to experiment if it could influence these 'invincible' Golden Ray Warriors.

"Hallucinate!"

Instantly, the entire Illusory World transformed. Every power seemed to vanish without a trace as invisible Mind Power pervaded every opening and entered the Golden Ray Armor.

Although the Golden Ray Armor contained a mysterious energy that could obstruct the infiltration of Mind Power, Merlin's Mind Power was simply too powerful and pervasive. Even if the armor could withstand 10% of Mind Power, the remaining 90% still managed to infiltrate the Golden Ray Armor.

"What power is this?"

Larkin felt the invisible force as well, which made him very uncomfortable. As a Golden Ray Warrior, he already fused with the Golden Ray Armor, so he had never felt such an 'uncomfortable' sensation. It felt as if he would be separated from the Golden Ray Armor.

"Mind Control!"

Merlin gritted his teeth and decided to activate all of the Mind Power to infiltrate the Golden Ray Armor and control Larkin's mind.

"Damn, what power is this? I can't control myself…"

Larkin could still speak but he sensed that he could not control the rest of his body.

Meanwhile, Merlin was also under tremendous strain. Even though his Mind Power was able to infiltrate the Golden Ray Armor, there was not much left. The Golden Ray Armor was too powerful and managed to stop most of the Mind Power from entering.

Furthermore, when Merlin tried to use the small amount of Mind Power to exert Mind Control, he discovered that it was impossible for him to exercise complete control over a Golden Ray Warrior. The Golden Ray Warriors were different from the rest of the Vestigial Tribe because they had fused thoroughly with the Golden Ray Armor, including their consciousness.

As a matter of fact, they were similar to the Matrix. Although their 'intellect' still remained, it was hard to describe them as living creatures. The only reason Merlin's Mind Power could render some effect was simply because the Golden Ray Armors used to be an ordinary Vestigial Creatures and not a pure 'program' or 'intelligence' like the Matrix.

Therefore, they were still somewhat susceptible to Merlin's Hallucinating spells and Mind Control. Still, he could not progress further to control or entrap them.

Perhaps, in the future when Merlin's Illusory World grew bigger and comparable to the Void Zone, he would be able to use Mind Power to control these Golden Ray Warriors. For now, it was impossible.

"Larkin, come back!"

Suddenly, Marta roared. With a huge force, he grabbed Larkin, which indirectly disrupted Merlin's Mind Control attempt. The entire Illusory World trembled violently.

Merlin's Mind Power greatly diminished but it seemed like he had the upper hand throughout. Larkin, on the other hand, appeared to be horrified. Merlin caused him to feel as if he could not control the Golden Ray Armor. That was a very scary feeling. Additionally, even the ancient Thirty-six Emperors could not separate a Golden Ray Warrior from the Golden Ray Armor.

Hence, this feeling of losing control over the Golden Ray Armor gave Larkin an immense jolt.

"Mind Power! I know this is a very weak but mysterious ability. Back in the days, there were a few foreign tribe civilizations who tried using this mysterious ability to control us. It was very effective at the beginning but once they encountered the powerful Black Star Warriors, the ability became ineffective. Not to mention a Golden Ray Warrior. You, on the other hand, are very powerful. You've developed a Mind Power field that resembles a fort. We're constantly encased within your Mind Power field, right?"

Marta had been observing Merlin the whole time. In fact, he also wanted Larkin to test Merlin's capabilities. Otherwise, he would have stopped Larkin right from the start.

Marta's observation had been very comprehensive. He even noticed that Merlin had a fort-like Mind Power field.

"Mind Power field? This name is quite appropriate. That's right, it's quite similar to the Mind Power field you mentioned. The power I just used is Mind Power!"

Merlin did not hide that his power was not a Mind Power field but in fact a far more formidable world. This was the reason the Void Zone did not hesitate to reject Merlin.

"Turns out you have such a mysterious ability… Back then, although Mind Power was powerful, it was not too intimidating since it could not affect our Black Star Warriors. However, your Mind Power field is strong enough to affect the Golden Ray Warriors. Now I understand why you would be rejected by the entire Void Zone. It's because you are a threat to the Void Zone's natural order," Marta said thoughtfully.

Merlin's had a flash of inspiration. His whole purpose of following Marta and these Golden Ray Warriors was to understand more about the Void Zone's natural order. This was a good opportunity.

"So, what is the Void Zone's natural order actually? The Vestigial Tribe is a civilization born within the Void Zone, why would you be rejected by the Void Zone?"

Merlin stared straight at Marta and asked. This was the question he desired to know the most.

Perhaps by knowing why the Vestigial Tribe was rejected, Merlin could gain some insight regarding the mechanism of the Latitude Cosmos, which would subsequently help transform his Illusory World from illusion into reality.

Chapter 893: The Vestigial Tribe's Secret!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The Void Zone's natural order is actually quite easy to understand. You can view it as a simple code. The reason it exists is to ensure the ongoing operation of the Void Zone. So, its job is very simple, which is to keep the balance!"

"In order to keep the balance of the entire Void Zone… Perhaps, from our perspective, the Void Zone is infinitely vast and extensive. Even the ultimate existences could never travel across the entire Void Zone. However in reality, no matter how extensive the Void Zone is, every corner is filled with civilizations of all shapes and sizes. Various life-forms are scattered throughout the Void Zone."

"When a civilization grows to a certain extent, the Void Zone may decide that it could no longer sustain it and become overwhelmed. As a result, it will balance the Void Zone.

"And the Vestigial Tribe was born precisely because the Void Zone wanted to balance out those countless foreign tribe civilizations…"

Marta's words struck Merlin like a deafening blow. He was completely dumbstruck.

This was utterly ludicrous beyond any imagination. The incredibly powerful Vestigial Tribe civilization was considered to be 'crafted' by the Void Zone. It was simply unbelievable.

However, the so-called balance that Marta described was very familiar to Merlin. It was because he gained enlightenment about balance, that his Illusory World was completely perfected. Therefore, balance was essential in a world.

Nevertheless, in order to keep balance, the Void Zone actually gave birth to a powerful civilization like the 'Void Zone'. Later, it even 'rejected' the Vestigial Tribe and encouraged other foreign tribe civilizations to join forces and fight against the Vestigial Tribe.

Ultimately, all of this was to restore balance. In order to purge the foreign tribe civilizations from the Void Zone, countless life-forms were killed in the massive war. In the end, the Vestigial Tribe was exterminated and the entire Void Zone suffered a devastating blow. Countless foreign tribe civilizations had disappeared.

Marta saw the look of disbelief on Merlin's face and smiled wryly. "Ridiculous, right? Back then, we too didn't think that it would be so. We thought that we were much stronger than all the other civilizations, that we can become the masters of the Void Zone, and that nothing could determine our destiny. But, in the end, this is our outcome. Our appearance in itself was a by-product of the Void Zone… However, the Void Zone doesn't have too strong of a consciousness. It simply plays by the rules, so some degree of oversight is expected. The three of us are such oversights of the Void Zone."

"Originally, the entire Void Zone should have been wiped out, leaving no drop of blood behind. However, because the three of us achieved 100% compatibility with the Golden Ray Armor and the ancient Thirty-six Emperors were no match for the absolute strength of the Golden Ray Armor, we survived. Today, we finally escaped. Now that I've met you, I'm somewhat uncertain, did the Void Zone mess up again?"

Marta's eyes flashed with a trace of hesitation. He was indeed confused. Merlin's emergence was simply too bizarre. Was the Void Zone trying to regain balance again? Otherwise, why would a person rejected by the world emerge?

Merlin immediately understood Marta's meaning. Obviously, anyone who was rejected by the Void Zone was extraordinary. In other words, a deliberate product of the Void Zone.

However, previously, it was because the Void Zone was too prosperous and the foreign tribe civilizations were too numerous, that the Void Zone had to keep the balance. After the catastrophe wreaked by the Vestigial Tribe, many civilizations had been wiped out. Even some of the Thirty-six Emperors were dead or missing and the number of fourth-grade Emperor-level existences diminished greatly. Such a situation proved that the Void Zone had not reverted to the glorious era as it used to be prior to the Vestigial Tribe war, so why would it need to balance itself once again?

"The Void Zone… I'm definitely not deliberately created by the Void Zone, because I'm not a life-form born in the Void Zone. I'm a discrepancy!"

Several thoughts flashed through Merlin's head. He remembered how frantically the origin of the natural order tried to destroy his Illusory World and kill him. Merlin grew more certain. The Void Zone did not have the ability to incorporate Merlin, who was from another Latitude Cosmos, into the Void Zone. He was the only discrepancy in the entire Void Zone!

"No matter what methods the Void Zone may employ, it cannot kill us. Now, let's rescue Myron!"

Marta took a long look at Merlin. The future of the three greatest warriors of the Vestigial Tribe now seemed foggier than before due to Merlin's appearance.

"What if the Vestigial Tribe won? Would they be able to overcome the natural order?"

Looking at Marta and Larkin's backs, a bold idea appeared in Merlin's head. If the Vestigial Tribe represented the power of destruction and the power of destruction overshadowed the power of new life, what would the Void Zone look like under the rule of the Vestigial Tribe?

Would there be a chance of overcoming the natural order?

"The Void Zone would collapse! That will be true destruction…"

Titus' voice resounded. Everything that Merlin saw now, Titus could also see.

Merlin fell silent. Indeed, if the Vestigial Tribe won and ruled the entire Void Zone, then it would face true destruction. One after another, the dimensions would be exhausted, until one day, the Void Zone would collapse and be destroyed.

"So how do you overcome the natural order? How to transcend beyond the natural order?"

Merlin could hardly imagine, how could a life-form born in the Void Zone overcome the natural order? Perhaps, Aruba also managed to overcome the natural order due to a series of coincidences, which allowed him to become a Latitude traveler that transcended beyond the Latitude Cosmos.

"Merlin, you don't have to overcome the natural order. You merely have to turn your Illusory World from illusion into reality. Your path is completely different from Aruba!"

Although Titus' achievements were no longer superior to Merlin, he had been watching Merlin each step of the way. Naturally, he understood Merlin crystal clear.

The Illusory World was Merlin's foundation. Turning that illusion into a reality was the current path that Merlin had to follow. Unfortunately, until now, Merlin still did not know how to achieve it. Thus, he could only follow Marta and Larkin, the two Golden Ray Warriors of the Vestigial Tribe. Perhaps, he would encounter some different experiences that would help him see the path of turning illusion into reality.Within an unknown place inside the Void Zone, there was a horrifying vortex that seemed to swallow everything around it. Even the ultimate existences dare not step foot near this place.

However, deep inside this vortex was a stable subspace.

The subspace contained only one huge palace. The palace was decorated plainly, but at this particular moment, inside the palace stood nine different-looking contenders with powerful auras.

These people seemed to all emit fluctuations of fourth-grade Emperors. The threads of power of the natural order on their bodies were so dense, that they were practically condensed into a ball. Their connection with the origin of the natural order was interconnected beyond imagination, far stronger than the ordinary fourth-grade ultimate existences.

"Blue Emperor, why have you summoned all of us here?"

"Blue Emperor, ever since the Vestigial Tribe catastrophe passed, we've rarely gathered together. You've woken the eight of us from our deep slumber, what is the reason?"

It turned out that these nine people were nine of the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. Besides the Blue Emperor, the other eight had to be woken up from their deep slumber.

The man known as the Blue Emperor had a handsome face and his entire body shimmered with a pale blue glow. At their realm, they would simply be slumbering unless there was a big issue, similar to a Slothful Beast.

The Blue Emperor would be in deep slumber too, but it was his turn to observe the situation of the entire Void Zone. Back then, after the war, only nine of the Thirty-six Emperors were left. So, they reached an agreement that no matter what, one Emperor-level existence must remain to look after the situation of the Void Zone. The Blue Emperor was in charge of the current one hundred million years. Only 6,800,000 years had passed, so it was still a long time away to the end of one hundred million years.

Waking the eight Emperor-level existences on such short notice, they were noticeably unhappy.

Nonetheless, the Blue Emperor's expression was extremely grim. In a deep voice, he said, "Everyone, Marta and Larkin have broken free. They must be on their way to rescue Myron. Due to the severity of this matter, I must wake everyone up to discuss."

As soon as the Blue Emperor spoke, the entire palace fell into a dead silence. The faces of the Emperor-level existences who were filled with dissatisfaction earlier were now replaced with shock. Of course, they knew who Marta, Larkin, and Myron were. These three people were personally suppressed by them.

Now that they had broken free, it was a very serious matter.

"What else can we do? The Vestigial Tribe has been destroyed, and we've imprisoned the three of them for so long but still failed to kill them. Even if we rush there now, what use would that be? Furthermore, there's only nine of us left."

"Nine? Hehe, don't forget how we got the title of Thirty-six Emperors in the first place? As long as the Void Zone wills it, brand-new Thirty-six Emperors can be birthed."

One of the Emperor-level existences fell silent. Obviously, the words struck a chord. To many other people, the almighty Thirty-six Emperors transcended above the ordinary Emperor-level existences.

In reality? Only the ancient Thirty-six Emperors knew where their powers come from. Their special strength was simply bestowed to them by the Void Zone.

As long as the Void Zone agreed to bestow these powers, any ordinary fourth-grade Emperor-level existences could immediately become one of the ancient Thirty-six Emperors.

The reason why there were Thirty-six Emperors was probably because the Void Zone could only sustain thirty-six of such powerful existences.

Of course, there were sacrifices to be made in exchange for the strength they obtained. The Thirty-six Emperors' sacrifice was to become part of the Void Zone and to protect it.

"The Void Zone did not give us any instructions. This means that the three Golden Ray Warriors won't pose a threat to the Void Zone. Don't worry, so what if they escaped? As long as they don't go crazy and slaughter indiscriminately, it's fine. Moreover, should things spiral out of control, the Void Zone would naturally give birth to other Thirty-six Emperors…"

After a lengthy discussion between the nine Emperor-level existences, they agreed to pay close attention to the movements of the three Golden Ray Warriors, but not to engage them directly.

Chapter 894: Prelude

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Marta and Larkin both seemed able to navigate the endless dark territory as they walked ahead steadily.

"Marta, does the Vestigial Tribe know the secret of the dark territory?" Merlin, who was following behind Marta, asked suddenly.

"How would we know all the secrets of the dark territory? But we do know a few things. This dark territory is probably more extensive than the entire Void Zone but it is covered by the power of the natural order, so most likely, it belongs to the Void Zone. As to what is inside, no one knows. Back then, the Vestigial Tribe conquered the entire Void Zone but we never set foot in the dark territory."

Merlin nodded. The dark territory was indeed mysterious. However, he had never even traveled across the Void Zone, what more the dark territory?

Merlin observed Marta and Larkin carefully. They were indeed flying toward a specific direction. Most probably via some unique positioning method, they were able to know Myron's general vicinity.

"By the way, when both of you escaped, Marta had a watchman. How come there was no watchman when Larkin escaped?"

Merlin thought of a detail. Rightfully, these watchmen were supposed to guard over the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Warriors Marta and Larkin, so they would not disappear for no reason.

"That watchman left a long time ago," Larkin replied coldly.

Merlin was taken aback as a possibility struck him.

"Does this mean that the ancient Thirty-six Emperors know that you've escaped?"

Merlin knew that behind the watchmen were the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. Until now, Merlin had never met any of the real Thirty-six Emperors. Back then, the Purple Emperor and the Flare Emperor merely left behind some items.

It was only when the Honorable God Blackfrost released some of the Darkness God Emperor's power that Merlin got some exposure.

"Of course they know. But again, so what if the ancient Thirty-six Emperors know?"

Though they had been imprisoned by the Thirty-six Emperors in the first place, Larkin and Marta seemed unafraid of the ancient Thirty-six Emperors.

"Back then, the Thirty-six Emperors outnumbered us. Although they managed to imprison us, they were unable to kill us. Now, many of them have died and are injured. What is there to be afraid of? Furthermore, they're not stupid. They wouldn't care unless we start another massacre," Marta replied solemnly, as if in deep thought.

Merlin frowned. He did not understand what Marta meant, but the ancient Thirty-six Emperors were indeed peculiar. It was impossible that they did not know Marta and Larkin had escaped after such a long time.

However, they had not appeared. Most likely, it was not that they did not know, but instead, were unwilling to show up.

Merlin's knowledge of what happened in the past was extremely limited, plus he had never met the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. Hence, it was normal for him to be doubtful.

Merlin followed Marta and Larkin doubtfully. Soon, they arrived at the last white halo and everything looked peaceful. Merlin scanned the surroundings with his Mind Power and did not find any watchman.

"It seems like the ancient Thirty-six Emperors have indeed found out. Even the watchman has been recalled."

A trace of suspicion arose in Merlin's heart. The relationship between these three Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Warriors and the Thirty-six Emperors was definitely not as simple as common enemies.

The calmness inside the white halo was soon torn apart by Marta. He shouted, "Myron, wake up!"

Subsequently, Larkin threw a fist in the direction of the white halo. Just like how he initially escaped, the white halo cracked and shattered.

"Boom".

The mist inside the white halo was released and the entire dark territory seemed to be quaking.

"How many years have passed, I've finally broken free… Marta, Larkin, have you come to rescue me?"

A low, hoarse voice sounded. From the heart of the quake, a burly figure emerged. His body also exuded a terrifying aura.

"Myron, we've come to rescue you!"

This burly figure was none other than the last of the three great warriors, Myron. The energy on his body seemed adequate and he was the calmest of the lot. He was not at all as violent as Larkin.

"I knew you were coming. The watchman already told me."

Myron's words startled Larkin and Marta.

After a while, Marta calmed down and said, "They made the right decision. In the war back then, both the Vestigial Tribe and the ancient Thirty-six Emperors were mere sacrifices. Sacrifices to restore balance to the Void Zone!"

Despite his indifferent tone, there was a hint of frigidness.

"Anyway, since they don't want to cause any trouble, we don't have to pay any attention to them either. Now that the three of us are free, what's our plan?" Myron seemed composed as he asked.

"Plan?"

Larkin shook his head helplessly. If it was a slaughter, he would stand at the foremost, but making plans and strategizing was not his forte. He simply looked at Marta.

Moreover, Marta seemed to be the unofficial leader of the three of them.

"The Vestigial Tribe has been wiped out, there's just the three of us left. What can we do? We can't even call ourselves a true Vestigial Creature anymore. We've completely fused with the Golden Ray Armor, producing an heir is practically impossible…"

Marta's words turned the atmosphere gloomy. The once incredibly glorious Vestigial Tribe had been wiped out, leaving only the three of them. Even then, they could not revive the entire Vestigial Tribe civilization.

"So what do we do? Do we just live forever surrounded by loneliness?"

Larkin's temper was a little violent. If he had to live the rest of his live alone, he might as well stay imprisoned. Sometimes, a long aimless life was a terrible prospect.

"Of course now. Although we cannot revive the Vestigial Tribe, we must still fulfill the Vestigial Tribe's unfinished goal, which was to overcome the constraints of the Void Zone!"

A look of determination appeared on Marta's face. Larkin and Myron turned their gaze towards Marta.

"Marta, tell us, we'll follow you as our leader!" Larkin replied instantly.

"Great, then, let's go to the origin of the natural order!"

"The origin of the natural order?"

Larkin's eyes sparkled, but Merlin's brows were wrinkled. Merlin could feel the omnipresent origin of the natural order everywhere in the Void Zone. How could it be found in a specific place?

"Marta, you can find the origin of the natural order?"

Merlin's heart skipped a beat as he asked. If they could locate the origin of the natural order, he would certainly follow. That was the source of the entire Void Zone's power; the real core of the Void Zone.

No matter what, Merlin must go there and understand the mechanisms of a Latitude Cosmos. If he could unearth the secrets of a true Latitude Cosmos, then surely if would help him turn the Illusory World from an illusion into reality. Maybe, it could also give him some inspiration.

"The origin of the natural order, of course we can find it. Actually back then, the Vestigial Tribe already discovered the origin of the natural order. We wanted to enter it but were involved in the massive war against the other civilizations. Unfortunately, all three of us were trapped by some other Emperor-level existences. Hence, despite knowing how to enter the origin of the natural order, we did not manage to accomplish it. Otherwise, based on our 100% compatibility with the Golden Ray Armor, perhaps we could have turned the situation around…"

Merlin shook his head. If the Vestigial Tribe managed to turn the situation around, then the entire Void Zone would fall apart. How could a Latitude Cosmos filled with destruction continue to survive?

Perhaps the three great warriors understood this concept or perhaps they did not understand. Regardless, they did not want to delve in further and simply perceived matters from a different vantage point.

"If you can enter the origin of the natural order, bring me along!" Merlin said in a deep voice, his expression serious.

"You? Merlin, although you've been rejected by the Void Zone, you're not like us. With your ability, even the Thirty-six Emperors cannot defeat you easily. You just have to be more cautious and the Void Zone will remain relatively safe. On the other hand, the origin of the natural order is the core of the entire Void Zone. Anyone who dares to enter it would encounter a furious attack from the entire Void Zone. You have to think about this clearly," Marta said gravely.

"Furious attack? I've already gotten a taste of a portion of the origin of the natural order's powers. How can I possibly miss the opportunity to examine the core of the Void Zone close-up?"

Merlin did not hesitate and would not retreat. He had a premonition that, unless he saw the operation of a Latitude Cosmos and understood its true secret, his Illusory World would never be turned into reality.

"Haha, alright, then we'll go together. However this time, those Thirty-six Emperors would probably stop us at all costs. You better be prepared."

Once Marta finished speaking, he transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the dark territory towards the depth of the Void Zone."What? You said they're actually going to search for the origin of the natural order?"

The nine Emperor-level existences revealed faces of disbelief. They, of course, knew the significance of the natural order's origin. It would definitely shake the whole Void Zone.

If there was any damage to the origin of the natural order, the Void Zone might even collapse entirely. The origin of the natural order was the power source of the Void Zone; its heart and its core.

Back then, the Vestigial Tribe discovered the origin of the natural order, which forced the ancient Thirty-six Emperors to face the most brutal war. Even thinking about it now, it was incredibly vicious. They did not want to experience another war like that ever again.

Nevertheless, now that Marta and the others were searching for the origin of the natural order, they had no other choice.

"The Void Zone is already beginning to affect us… I'm afraid more Emperor-level existences will become part of the new Thirty-six Emperors. Let's go first. No matter what, we cannot allow then to breach the origin of the natural order."

The Blue Emperor stared at the depths of the Void Zone and sighed silently. The three Golden Ray Warriors had not given up, so they had no choice but to fight. Still, how many of the nine Emperor-level existences would remain after this?

Subsequently, the nine Emperor-level existences triggered the power of the natural order and disappeared into the depths of the Void Zone.

Chapter 895: The Gateway of the Natural Order!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin was steering the Aurora warship as he followed closely behind the three Golden Ray Warriors in search of the natural order's origin. Although he could sense the origin of the natural order, he could not sense its specific location. He could only sense that it was almost omnipresent and its power was everywhere.

The truth was, the origin of the natural order possessed a core that contained infinite energy. It was also the core of the entire Void Zone. Its location was also not fixed, as it floated all around the Void Zone, just like how the Glorious Land used to be when it was sealed by the three Arcane Wizards.

Marta and the others could detect the general vicinity of the origin of the natural order but needed some time to search for it. However, to these people, tens or even hundreds of years were considered a very short time.

Therefore, Merlin immersed his consciousness inside the Illusory World after setting the Aurora warship to follow after Marta and the group automatically.

The Illusory World was his foundation. Although he still had no idea how to turn the illusion into a reality, he must at least make the Illusory World more powerful.

Ever since the Illusory World was perfected, it expanded even faster than before. Moreover, the expansion was very stable, so Merlin did not have to worry about the problems the expansion might cause if the rate of expansion was too fast.

At that point, the Illusory World was very huge but still less than one percent of the Void Zone, so it still needed to expand continuously. Previously, Merlin allowed the Illusory World to expand at its own pace but now that they were embroiled in a long search for the origin of the natural order, he had nothing much to do. Therefore, he made use of his Mind Power to help the Illusory World expand further.

Merlin's consciousness immediately merged with the Illusory World. The feeling of controlling a world was truly wonderful. At this moment, Merlin felt like he had surpassed the ultimate existences. The entire Illusory World, along with hundreds of billions of creatures, countless stars and planets, and all kinds of strange and peculiar sights appeared in Merlin's mind.

Merlin was well-aware that all of these were still illusory, meaning that if he died, all of them would collapse. He still had no way of making all these real.

Even though they were illusory, Merlin still relished the feeling of being in control. His consciousness enveloped the entire Void Zone and with a tick of his heart, his immense Mind Power tirelessly helped the Illusory World's expansion.

An Illusory World, especially at this stage, was like an infant. Merlin could personally witness its growth and maturity until it eventually reaches full maturity.

Meanwhile, the Illusory Tribe civilization inside the Illusory World had also recovered from the devastating invasion of the power of the natural order the last time. By design, they were the hegemon of the Illusory World, the most advanced and powerful civilization of all. Therefore, they immediately restarted their development.

However, the Illusory World was no longer the same as before. There were a myriad of dangerous situations that were challenging even for the Illusory Tribe civilization.

For example, black holes. Some of the celestial bodies' black holes were so terrifying that even the Illusory Tribe's most advanced methods could not escape the devouring of the gigantic black holes.

Prior to this, such occurrences were unimaginable. Before the devastating catastrophe, the Illusory Tribe civilization were practically the masters of the entire Illusory World. They were able to conquer any civilization and any planet and were even able to transform any celestial bodies.

Now, on the other hand, they realized that they had to move cautiously before the daunting celestial bodies. If they did not pay close attention, a tragedy could befall them.

Furthermore, after the great destruction, other civilizations began to develop as well. There was no longer a huge gap between them and the Illusory Tribe civilization. Instead, each of the various civilizations had their distinctive characteristics.

In short, the entire Illusory World had changed dramatically and was no longer as monotonous as before. Perhaps it looked chaotic, but this balanced path was essential for a healthy world.

Merlin could clearly sense that ever since he made some adjustments to the Illusory World, it became stronger than before. In fact, even the Illusory World's power of the natural order was strengthened. Remarkably, the healthy development of a world would correspondingly strengthen its power of the natural order.

"Is it also the same for the Void Zone?"

Merlin immediately associated it with the Void Zone. This was a huge Latitude Cosmos. It did not hesitate to maintain the balance of this world at all costs, so maybe it was to ensure that the Void Zone could develop healthily.

A healthy and developing world could continue to enhance its power of the natural order. As a result, the stronger the power of the natural order, the more powerful its ultimate existences would be; like the Thirty-six Emperors.

As for the Thirty-six Emperors and the rest of the ultimate existences, their fates were interconnected with the Void Zone. They would rise and fall together!

Following Merlin's assisted expansion of the Illusory World, the entire Illusory World expanded rapidly. Now that Merlin understood the importance of ensuring a balanced world, he also created some unique and powerful civilizations that could challenge the Illusory Tribe civilization during the expansion process.

Moreover, Merlin no longer paid special attention to the Illusory Tribe civilization and even stripped away their role as the 'main characters' of the Illusory World. Thus, the Illusory Tribe civilization would no longer be as lucky as before. Whatever progress the Illusory Tribe civilization made would be entirely dependent on their own effort.

As the master of the Illusory World, Merlin had this ability!

Most probably, when the Vestigial Tribe first arose, they were given the role of 'main characters' by the Void Zone. Thus, all kinds of lucky encounters befell them and empowered them to conquer the entire Void Zone.

However, they did not know that the Void Zone was simply trying to achieve balance, with the Vestigial Tribe as the 'destructive' force. Then afterward, the Void Zone stripped away the Vestigial Tribe's role as 'main characters.' Consequently, the Vestigial Tribe lost their immunity and under the leadership of the Thirty-six Emperors, were jointly attacked by countless foreign tribe civilizations. Finally, the Vestigial Tribe was exterminated.

All of these were deliberately set in motion by the Void Zone in order to achieve balance!

Through the development of the Illusory World, Merlin suddenly understood many of the Void Zone's secrets. The truth was, no one else could provide him any guidance or useful experiences at his level. Even if Aruba were to mentor him personally, it would not be useful to Merlin. This was because the path he chose had never been traveled. Therefore, he had to explore every step by himself.

If he took a wrong turn, the result might be irreparable!

Fortunately, Merlin was very cautious. The path he took was to control a world. Although this world was illusory, his objective was to turn it from an illusion into a reality. Hence, using a real Latitude Cosmos like the Void Zone as a comparison, Merlin continued to make adjustments to his Illusory World.

The effects had been promising and even helped him carve out the most critical step needed to perfect the Illusory World. Right now, he was constantly consolidating the Illusory World to improve and strengthen it even further.

For the next step, Merlin wanted to examine the origin of the natural order for himself. The core power of the Void Zone. If he could gain some understanding from that process, it would certainly be beneficial to his Illusory World.

Perhaps, it could even help Merlin discover another most critical step!

"Hum."

Suddenly, the Aurora warship jolted slightly. Merlin immediately woke up from the Illusory World. He looked up. In front of him, Marta, Larkin and Myron had all stopped.

"Have we arrived?"

Merlin extended his Mind Power outwards. He saw that Marta and the others were gazing towards a half-hidden lighted door. This lighted door measured tens of thousands of meters. Even a warship would be able to pass through it easily.

However, this was only a lighted door that loomed vaguely. Merlin's Mind Power could not investigate beyond it.

"This is the entrance to the origin of the natural order, called the gateway of the natural order! According to legends, once you step past this gateway, you will be able to access the entire Void Zone's secrets."

There was a tinge of heaviness in Marta's voice. The legends about the gateway of the natural order had been popular even back in the ancient times when the Vestigial Tribe were most glorious.

"Back then, all the top-level contenders of the Vestigial Tribe acted together. Other than the three of us who were otherwise engaged, the rest of them went to search for the gateway of the natural order. However, before this door, they suffered a vicious massacre. The Void Zone gathered all of the Thirty-six Emperors and we lost that battle!" Larkin said, gnashing his teeth.

Nevertheless, this indirectly proved the significance placed by the Void Zone on the origin of the natural order. Just at the gateway of the natural order, it had already summoned the most powerful force to stop the Vestigial Tribe's exploration.

Behind this gateway of the natural order was the biggest secret of the Void Zone. Merlin was immediately excited and flew out of the Aurora warship to stand beside Marta and the others.

"Is there any danger behind the gateway of the natural order? Why aren't we going it?"

Merlin could not wait to enter and uncover the secret of the Void Zone. Perhaps, it would help him turn his Illusory World into reality.

"Of course there's no danger behind the gateway of the natural order, but the danger lies in the Thirty-six Emperors! Do you think the Void Zone will allow us to pass through the gateway of the natural order so easily?"

Marta's reply was filled with mockery and his tone was incredibly hostile. His gaze was trained at a random territory outside the gateway of the natural order, seemingly discovering something.

Merlin also strained his eyes. Under the careful investigation of his pervasive Mind Power, he sensed that the power of the natural order in this place was unusually concentrated. However, seeing as the gateway was the entrance to the origin of the natural order, what was so strange about a higher concentration of the power of the natural order?

"Hehe, Merlin, you're not a Golden Ray Warrior and had never fought the Thirty-six Emperors. Naturally, you don't know their tactics. They are basically the embodiment of the origin of the natural order. As long as the origin of the natural order has sufficient capacity, it can produce countless existences like the Thirty-six Emperors. The Thirty-six Emperors consist of mere ordinary Emperor-level existences but because the origin of the natural order needed their help, it bestowed them with special abilities. Thus, the Thirty-six Emperors were born. Do you understand now?"

Merlin's was shocked. He kept hearing of the distinguished ancient Thirty-six Emperors, but he never knew the difference between the Thirty-six Emperors and ordinary Emperor-level existences.

It was only now that he achieved an epiphany. The Thirty-six Emperors were simply supported by the Void Zone, which enabled them to mobilize a greater portion of the origin of the natural order. As a result, they transcended beyond the ordinary Emperor-level existences.

Therefore, the Thirty-six Emperors could be perceived as the embodiment of the origin of the natural order. They were completely integrated with the power of the natural order. While Merlin could detect the power of the natural order, he could not distinguish the Thirty-six Emperors who were hidden inside it.

Only these Golden Ray Warriors, who were undoubtedly familiar with the Thirty-six Emperors, could see through their concealment.

"Marta, Larkin, Myron, the massive war has ended and the Vestigial Tribe has been exterminated. Since you've broken free, why stir up another fuss?"

Sure enough, as soon as Marta finished speaking, nine unfamiliar silhouettes appeared from the gateway of the natural order.

Chapter 896 Nine Emperors Versus the Vestigial Tribe!

These nine silhouettes were none other than the nine Emperor-level existences led by the Blue Emperor. There were only nine out of the original Thirty-six Emperors.

It was Merlin's first time seeing powerful existences such as the Thirty-six Emperors. True enough, they were very different from the watchman. Back then, the watchman was also a fourth-grade Emperor-level existence. The threads of the natural order that were connected to his body were completely frayed and could not be detached.

On the other hand, the ancient Thirty-six Emperors no longer had any threads of the natural order. This was because their bodies had been fully integrated with the natural order's origin and became a part of it. They could even be seen as the origin of the natural order's avatars.

This was the price the Thirty-six Emperors had to pay in order to have more power and transcend above the ordinary fourth-grade Emperor-level existences. There was only one way, which was to become part of the origin of the natural order.

Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. Their responsibility was to maintain the smooth operation of the Void Zone and keep its balance. If there was any trace of a threat to the Void Zone's balance, they must destroy it.

Prior to this, despite the three great Golden Ray Warriors' escape, they did not cause any massive bloodshed, so the nine Emperor-level existences could choose to turn a blind eye. Even though they were a part of the origin of the natural order, they would not care unless they were compelled.

However, the three Golden Ray Warriors intended to enter the origin of the natural order. They wanted to achieve the Vestigial Tribe's goal of crossing the gateway of the natural order and into the natural order's origin.

The origin of the natural order was the foundation of the entire Void Zone. No matter what, the Void Zone would not allow the three Golden Ray Warriors to enter its origin. Thus, the nine Emperor-level existences were sent to stop them.

"Stir up trouble? Haha, the three of us were imprisoned by you for over billions of years, and the Vestigial Tribe was exterminated. Yet you say that we're stirring up trouble? We all know that this whole saga is unrelated to you. Whether it's the Vestigial Tribe, you guys, or even the rest of the life-forms in the Void Zone, all our actions are dictated by a higher power. But, precisely for that reason, we want to enter the origin of the natural order."

"What benefit would you obtain from destroying the origin of the natural order? If that happens, the entire Void Zone will collapse. You won't survive either…"

Both sides were ready to engage, but no one attacked.

"Who said that we are going to destroy the origin of the natural order? We just want to enter to see the core of the Void Zone that the Vestigial Tribe did not manage to see. All we want is to break free of its control."

The Blue Emperor shook his head. "Regardless, you're not allowed to enter the origin of the natural order!"

The nine Emperor-level existences emitted a magnificent aura, especially since the gateway of the natural order behind them seemed to radiate traces of the power of the natural order which fortified the nine Emperor-level existences. The origin of the natural order was increasing their power levels.

When the Vestigial Tribe tried to enter the origin of the natural order the last time, the same thing happened in the battle outside the gateway. The origin of the natural order enhanced the Thirty-six Emperors' power, causing a massive defeat to the Vestigial Tribe. That single battle had determined the outcome of the war.

Therefore, the Vestigial Tribe failed to enter the origin of the natural order until they lost the war. Now that the three great Golden Ray Warriors had broken free, they simply wanted to fulfill the Vestigial Tribe's dream.

"Haha, can you stop us?"

When he saw the nine Emperor-level existences, Marta laughed. At the same time, along Larkin and Myron, who had already replenished their energy levels, the three Golden Ray Armors began to balloon up. All of their bodies radiated a dazzling golden glow.

Every single inch of this golden glow was capable of disintegrating the power of the natural order and could destroy countless numbers of dimensions. Even the fourth-grade ultimate existences could not withstand a single blow from the Golden Ray Warriors.

Only the Thirty-six Emperors, who were the avatars of the origin of the natural order and possessed an endless stream of power, as well as able to mobilize the origin of the natural order, could possibly challenge the Golden Ray Warriors!"

"Fight!"

Marta was far more impressive than a Titan Giant. A single punch released a terrifying force that swept across every direction and smashed multiple layers of the natural order's power. The ancient Thirty-six Emperors' powers of the natural order, which had been condensed to the limit, transformed into a huge shield that blocked Marta's punch.

However, Marta did not stop at a single punch. Following after the first punch was hundreds and thousands of punches. Every single blow consisted of pure power. Although such an attack would consume an immense amount of energy, the Golden Ray Armor demonstrated its resilient nature. They were able to transmute the power of the natural order into energy.

Therefore, they too were in no shortage of energy. The fight was very intense, which was why back in the day, even the Thirty-six Emperors were unwilling to engage these Golden Ray Warriors in battle.

"Boom".

The three Golden Ray Warriors triggered a huge explosion with unparalleled force. The nine Emperor-level existences were knocked into the air. Although they did not die, the power gap was apparent.

In terms of absolute power, the three Golden Ray Warriors held an unmistakable advantage. Their explosive power, in particular, shocked Merlin to no end. He would much rather face an Emperor-level existence than a Golden Ray Warrior.

Nevertheless, these nine Emperor-level Warriors were still the illustrious Thirty-six Emperors, so their abilities were not so inadequate. Naturally, they had access to special tactics beyond the abilities of ordinary Emperor-level existences.

"Origin of the natural order, bind!"

The Blue Emperor roared. An apparition of a halo which contained the origin of the natural order coalesced above his head. Following that, the threads of the natural order began to tremble mightily.

The thread flew towards the three Golden Ray Warriors. Moreover, the other eight Emperor-level existences began to wield their strongest power too. Distinct apparitions of the origin of the natural order coalesced above their heads respectively.

This was the most unique ability of the Thirty-six Emperors. They were able to mobilize the origin of the natural order's power, in other words, the Void Zone's power!

Originally, the threads of the natural order would not change. Merlin only knew that these threads were somehow linked to the natural order's origin.

Right now, however, the origin of the natural order was astonishingly able to manipulate these threads. Hence, it was able to bind its enemies invisibly. This was the inherent weakness of all life-forms born in the Void Zone. No matter what, they could be suppressed by the origin of the natural order.

Multiple threads of the natural order swiftly entangled Marta and the others. Despite the brilliant radiance of the Golden Ray Armor, they could sense the strain and could not break free from the threads' bondages.

"You don't have to struggle anymore. These contain the power of the natural order. Every time we use this power actually causes a huge loss to the origin of the natural order, so we don't want to use it. But you leave us with no choice. When you broke free, we wanted to give you a chance, as long as you don't commit any massive bloodshed. However, it seems like we can't let you go free. We will just have to imprison you forever…"

When that sentence ended, the nine Emperor-level existences flew towards Marta and the others. If these three Golden Ray Warriors were like the other ordinary Golden Ray Warriors who had not achieved 100% compatibility with the Golden Ray Armor, they would certainly be separated and killed.

However, the three of them were completely fused with their Golden Ray Armors, so they were very difficult to kill. Thus, they could only be suppressed and imprisoned.

"You want to imprison us again? Impossible, I will not allow you…"

The dazzling golden rays on Marta, Larkin, and Myron grew more intense and the Golden Ray Armors continued to expand. They, too, threw all caution to the wind and unleashed all their powers. For a split second, the pure power began to struggle against the threads of the natural order.

"This is bad, I can't hold them for long. Let's work together to imprison them!"

The Blue Emperor's face shifted. Everyone could see that Marta and the others had unleashed their full power. It was a final act of desperation, but also very effective. They were able to break free of the suppression.

"We've exhausted our power as well unless the origin of the natural order gives us more

power!"

"Yes, only with the origin of the natural order's power, it will be possible for us to suppress these three Golden Ray Warriors."

These Emperor-level existences turned their gaze towards the enormous gateway. That was the gateway of the natural order, and behind it, was the true core of the entire Void Zone!

As if able to sense the thoughts of these nine Emperor-level existences, the gateway of the natural order began to hum. At the same time, an overwhelming aura emerged from the gateway of the natural order.

This overwhelming aura contained a sense of geniality to everyone, except for Merlin, Marta, and the others, who instead felt uncomfortably suppressed. They felt suppressed by this aura, which was the purest power of the origin of the natural order.

With the support of this aura, the apparitions above the heads of the Blue Emperor and the others became stronger and solidified several folds. Their power was stronger than before.

The nine of them combined their powers and the threads of the natural order once again suppressed Marta and the others with a vengeance.

"Haha, the origin of the natural order has given us power."

"In the Void Zone, the origin of the natural order is forever our strongest fort!"

The nine Emperor-level existences were overjoyed. The origin of the natural order had not responded to their requests for a long time. Unexpectedly, this time, it lent them its supportive powers. This also proved that the three Golden Ray Armors were actual threats to the origin of the natural order.

Marta and the others were gradually suppressed and bound. At this time, Marta looked towards Merlin and shouted, "Merlin, you're also rejected by the Void Zone. This is the best opportunity for you to enter the origin of the natural order. Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never be able to enter. What are you waiting for?"

"Whoosh".

As soon as Marta's voice fell, the nine Emperor-level existences turned their attention to Merlin, their eyes filled with vigilance.

"Rejected by the world? He's not from the Vestigial Tribe though? What is going on?"

It was only then that the Emperor-level contenders discovered Merlin's unique existence.

Chapter 897 The Core of the Void Zone

Everyone's eyes were on Merlin. At this time, Merlin had become the focus of everyone, especially the nine Emperor-level existences. They were even more nervous and did not dare to underestimate Merlin after discovering that he was such a 'special' existence. After all, the three Golden Ray Warriors would not bring ordinary people into the origin of the natural order.

If Merlin was an ordinary person, the Golden Ray Warriors would have killed him long ago.

Merlin did not immediately move but looked at the gateway of the natural order behind them instead. The huge door was open and sent a horrible aura. However, Merlin had already sensed that that was the force of the origin of the natural order. It was the true Void Zone's core that Merlin had always wanted to see!

"The origin of the natural order…"

Merlin murmured softly. Then, he suddenly raised his head, a determined glint flashing in his eyes.

"Of course, I won't give it up!"

At that moment, Merlin's figure flashed and his huge Illusory World instantly descended, trapping the nine Emperor-level contenders.

"Boom."

Unlike Marta and the others, Merlin's Illusory World was extremely effective on ultimate existences. However, Merlin had never fought against opponents like the Thirty-six Emperors and did not know whether he could compete with them.

However, it was fortunate that Marta and the other Golden Ray Warriors had pinned down the nine Emperor-level existences' Mind Power. Otherwise, Merlin would find it extremely hard to fight these nine Emperor-level existences by himself.

Merlin's Illusory World immediately cut off the nine Emperor-level existences' connection with the origin of the natural order. The Illusory World clearly had a stronger suppression effect on ultimate existences.

Instantly, the presence of the natural order's origin above their heads weakened greatly, and the strength they used to struggle against the three Golden Ray Warriors also decreased; Marta and the others also started to struggle.

"He can actually block our connection to the origin of the natural order. What is that power? It's no wonder the Void Zone rejected him. He's even more terrifying than the Vestigial Tribe. Fortunately, we're already avatars of the origin of the natural order and our real bodies' strength is endless. Although he cut off the connection, it'll only slightly weaken us. We won't be defeated!"

The Blue Emperor and the other Emperor-level existences were still full of confidence. They were only slightly affected.

Yet, the Mind Power inside Merlin's Illusory World burst out in the next moment.

"Illusion!"

The terrifying Mind Power transformed into a large net and trapped everyone in it. It completely surrounded and pulled all nine Emperor-level existences into the illusion.

They were the Thirty-six Emperors but they were all affected by it in the face of Merlin's terrifying Hallucinating spell.

In their trance, Marta and the others roared and sent out a powerful force that tore the binding power to pieces and escaped.

"Haha, you can't stop us. Let's go!"

Marta did not bother with the nine Emperor-level existences and flew directly into the huge gateway of the natural order with Larkin and Myron.

"We can't let them enter."

Immediately, a few of the nine Emperor-level existences blocked Marta and the others. Merlin also relaxed slightly. With fewer people, his Mind Power could be released more powerfully and constantly attack these Emperor-level existences.

It was not to control their minds. In fact, it was supposed to control the minds of ultimate existences, but Merlin only needed to influence them. Merlin's Illusory World had an even more terrifying power and he was waiting for the right moment to use it.

"Boom."

Merlin's Mind Power broke out all around. Instantly, a trace of struggle appeared on the faces of the remaining three Emperor-level existences. However, it was only for a moment. They were already avatars of the origin of the natural order and would not be affected by Merlin's illusion.

Still, even if it was just a moment, it was enough!

"Power of the natural order!"

Merlin's voice was cold as ice. For the first time, he used the power of the natural order in his Illusory World!

The power of the natural order was not limited to the Void Zone. Merlin's Illusory World also had the power of the natural order. Ever since Merlin perfected the Illusory World, the power of the natural order inside it became stronger. Although the Illusory World still could not materialize illusions into reality, it could affect the material world.

In the past, Merlin had been hesitant and never used the power of the natural order in the Illusory World. After all, it was the foundation of the Illusory World and could not be damaged in the slightest. Moreover, Merlin did not encounter anyone who could force him to use the power of the natural order in the Illusory World.

Nevertheless, it was different now. Against three Emperor-level existences, especially avatars of the origin of the natural order, Merlin deeply understood that the Hallucinating spell alone could not confuse these three people. Therefore, he could only use the natural order's power in the Illusory World and fully utilize it in the split second they were confused.

Within the Illusory World, the power of the natural order could also burst into unprecedented power. When the power of the natural order hit the three Emperor-level existences, the effect crushed them directly!

"Bang bang bang."

The three Emperor-level existences were shocked. The moment they came into contact with the power of the natural order in the Illusory World, they were unable to resist and panicked. This was a new power of the natural order that made their heart palpitate.

However, they had no chance to speak before their bodies were completely crushed under the power of the natural order in the Illusory World. Their life force completely disappeared.

"They're dead?"

At this moment, everyone stopped. The remaining six ultimate existences who were chasing after Marta and others also froze in disbelief.

Marta and the others also looked shocked. Although they were the strongest three among the Golden Ray Warriors and were almost immortal, they could not kill an Emperor-level existence. However, Merlin had just killed all three at once!

"Boom."

At the next moment, the gateway of the natural order also seemed to shake and an unimaginably terrifying force descended, like the origin of the natural order was lashing out.

In fact, the origin of the natural order was close to lashing out. Merlin's Illusory World used the power of the natural order for the first time and he used it so close to the natural order's origin. Since a brand new power of the natural order appeared next to the origin of the natural order, how would the Void Zone remain indifferent?

Merlin felt like he would suffocate. He quickly dispelled the Illusory World as the power of the natural order began to work, allowing the Illusory World to offset the vast majority of the attack. Merlin breathed a sigh of relief.

The Void Zone would never let a brand new power of the natural order go. At this time, the terrifying force was still brewing inside the gateway of the natural order. He had to leave here temporarily.

"Let's go!"

However, at this time, Marta and the others refused to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They had no one to suppress them anymore, so by taking advantage of the six Emperor-level existences' negligence, they turned into three streams of light and quickly flew into the gateway of the natural order.

"Hum."

The gateway of the natural order kept shaking but gradually calmed down when Marta and the others entered. There was no longer the kind of terrifying force that made Merlin feel as if he were suffocating.

"They entered the gateway of the natural order?"

"No one has entered the gateway of the natural order before. Even us, as avatars of the origin of the natural order, has never entered before…"

The remaining six Emperor-level existences watched helplessly as Marta and the others entered the gateway of the natural order. The gateway did not allow even them to enter. As avatars of the origin of the natural order, they seemed to be fearful of what was inside the gateway. They had a faint feeling that they would never be able to leave again once they stepped inside.

They could not enter but that did not mean that Merlin could not enter as well. He originally followed Marta and others because he wanted to enter the gateway of the natural order and see the mystery of the origin of the natural order. These six Emperor-level existences could not stop Merlin at all.

"Whoosh."

Merlin did not hesitate and immediately turned into a streak of light and flew into the gateway of the natural order. The six Emperor-level contenders left outside looked at each other in dismay.

"They all went in. What do we do?"

"What else can we do? We can only wait here. That Merlin could actually make the origin of the natural order agitated. I'm afraid it would cause a catastrophe, but he still entered. Hmph, he's following the path to his own doom!"

The inside of the gateway of the natural order was dangerous. Even these avatars of the origin of the natural order did not dare to enter easily. The reason why they were so nervous was that they were just following the orders of the natural order's origin.

Since there was no way to stop them, then just let them enter. The origin of the natural order would deal with them naturally. They believed that in the face of the vast and endless might of the origin of the natural order, no one could resist it…

Merlin, who entered the gateway of the natural order, did not think much. He only wanted to catch up to Marta in front of him. However, the moment he entered, he felt a strong resistance, as if he had fallen into a swamp. It was hard to escape and his movements were extremely slow.

"What's going on?"

Merlin spread the Illusory World, but the moment he did, an even more terrifying force pressed down. The Illusory World did not seem to be able to withstand it, so Merlin hastily kept the Illusory World; which barely preserved it.

Merlin then recalled that this place was the core of the Void Zone and where the power of the natural order was the strongest. The Illusory World could not be casually released here. Otherwise, the power that he had to face would be countless times stronger than those Thirty-six Emperors.

With vigilance in his heart, Merlin slowly sent out his consciousness. As expected, he found some movements in front. It was Marta, Larkin, and Myron.

Currently, they were also very slow. They slowly walked in the vast expanse of the Void Zone. It seemed that they had to exert a great force with each step.

"Marta, what is this place?" Merlin could not help but ask.

"This place? If I'm not mistaken, we should be inside the origin of the natural order!"

"What? Inside the origin of the natural order?"

Merlin's expression changed. Entering the gateway of the natural order dropped him into the origin of the natural order? It was unbelievable. This was what the origin of the natural order was like?

Chapter 898: The Core of the Void Zone II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Merlin's imagination, the origin of the natural order was a highly condensed ball of energy. It was not like this, where it would be flooded with the power of the natural order.

The mysterious power around Merlin was like a sticky swamp. It was indeed the power of the natural order and it was highly condensed, but it was a little unfathomable that it was distributed in this vast and boundless space.

"This is indeed the origin of the natural order. It's the true core of the Void Zone! Every power of the natural order actually maintains the operation of some places in the Void Zone. If you don't believe me, Wizard Merlin, you can take a closer look."

Marta's words reached Merlin's ears and his heart moved. If that were true, it was incredibly terrifying. How terrible was the power that controlled the vast Void Zone?

Then, Merlin reached out his hand and randomly grabbed a bunch of the natural order's power. In Merlin's Mind Power, there were also strands like this power of the natural order. It was as if they were connected to somewhere in the distance. Even Merlin could not cut them off.

Merlin's Mind Power penetrated the power of the natural order and instantly, he seemed to arrive at an unfamiliar area. It was a very remote place with countless dimensions. This power of the natural order controlled the basic order of that dimension.

For example, the weather, rivers, mountains, forests, and so on were all controlled by the natural order's power.

"If this power of the natural order is destroyed, what will happen?"

Merlin pondered. With his current strength, it would be incredibly easy to destroy a small amount of the power of the natural order.

"Crack."

The power of the natural order was completely destroyed by Merlin. Immediately, Merlin seemed to feel something. This power of the natural order affected the dimensions it controlled. Mountain torrents erupted, earthquakes occurred, and all order was lost as all kinds of disasters transpired. Soon, this dimension would become barren and fall apart.

"This is order!"

Merlin's seemed to have an understanding. In a complete Latitude Cosmos, balance alone was not enough. There needed to be order as well. Everything needed order so that there would not be chaos and only then would development slowly happen.

"Balance, order!"

Merlin's Illusory World did have balance and partial order but many places were very chaotic. Occasionally, wars between civilizations would occur and lead to the destruction of a planet.

These were all beyond Merlin's control. Ultimately, it was due to a lack of order!

"Order! Order!"

Merlin felt more and more that this adventure to the natural order's origin was worth it. It seemed to be true now. Just by entering the origin of the natural order, he had already understood a very important point of the world; a stable order was also needed in addition to balance.

"What do these black strands represent?"

Merlin saw that in the vast power of the natural order, there were a few black threads. However, they were hidden in the power of the natural order and were extremely rare.

"Those naturally represent beings or forces that destroy balance!"

Marta continued with a sneer, "When our Vestigial Tribe swept through the Void Zone, a small part here turned black. Haha, destroy balance? Our Vestigial Tribe was also born in the Void Zone, but we're people who destroyed balance and were eventually wiped out by the Void Zone…"

Marta's laughter was full of sadness. There was no lack of contenders in the Vestigial Tribe, especially Golden Ray Warriors like Marta. During the long war, they naturally gradually learned some secrets of the Void Zone.

The birth of the Vestigial Tribe was deliberately done by the Void Zone. As an existence that destroyed balance, they had to be completely eliminated. They were only tools used by the Void Zone to 'balance' the whole world.

"Hum hum hum."

Suddenly, the space started to shake violently, as if a storm was occurring. Merlin and the others struggled to support themselves as waves of the natural order's power pounded at them.

"What's going on? Have we been discovered?"

The origin of the natural order did not have a consciousness. At best, it was only a simple program code. It was only running according to the natural order's established style. It was impossible for it to 'discover' anything.

However, this situation was truly strange. Although the impact was strong, Merlin and the others were still able to withstand it.

"Hm? There are several black spots there. They're very obvious. I wonder what force disrupted the order."

Soon, Merlin and the others discovered that there were three big black spots in front of them nibbling away at the surrounding power of the natural order, which represented the collapse of order. There must be some powerful force just born that was rapidly destroying order.

"These represent the three of us, haha!"

Marta and the others burst out in laughter. These three huge black spots represented the three of them. Looking at the trend of the black spots, they were still expanding. Still, in comparison to the size of the origin of the natural order, the three black spots were not even worth mentioning.

Perhaps this was also why the Void Zone did not fully encircle and kill Marta and the others. It was only when Marta and the others entered the gateway of the natural order that they were blocked by the nine Emperor-level existences. It was because the order they destroyed, and the damage they brought to the Void Zone was too small.

"Hoo…"

All of a sudden, a strong squall blew again. Then, in the vast and boundless origin of the natural order, a black area suddenly appeared. It had already formed an area, and it was a world of difference compared to Marta and the others' black spots.

"What's going on? Besides our Vestigial Tribe, is there any other terrifying civilization that's rising up? Are they wantonly destroying order and causing the origin of the natural order to become this way?

Marta and the others also looked surprised. This black area was too great and grew incredibly large in size, indicating that order was being uncontrollably destroyed.

What was this power that could destroy order so uncontrollably and make the origin of the natural order become this way?

Besides Marta and the others, Merlin was also puzzled. The Void Zone was too vast, but even they had not heard of the birth of any powerful civilization.

According to this trend, the black area could compete when the Vestigial Tribe swept through the Void Zone. At that time, it would be another catastrophe.

"What civilization is it?"

Marta and the others entered their consciousness inside it, and Merlin did the same. When his consciousness was immersed inside this black area, a picture quickly appeared in his mind.

This was the projection of the origin of the natural order. It was gathering all its strength against a familiar figure below.

After seeing this figure, Merlin jumped in shock, as if he saw something unbelievable.

"It's you?"

Marta and the others also saw the figure and immediately woke up. Their eyes stared intently at Merlin, full of disbelief.

The figure they saw was Merlin. In other words, Merlin destroyed order and became the primary person that the Void Zone had to deal with.

This black area was still spreading unceasingly. One day, it would spread to the size the Vestigial Tribe had and perhaps even surpass them.

Marta and the others only knew a little about Merlin. They knew that Merlin was rejected by the Void Zone like the Vestigial Tribe was, but they did not know why he was rejected by the Void Zone.

"What's going on?"

Even Merlin did not know why he created such a large area, much less Marta. He did not wantonly kill or destroy, so how did he destroy order?

Merlin suddenly thought of the Illusory World. Perhaps when the Illusory World was born, order had already been destroyed. Especially when the Illusory World was perfected, it had grown into a force that even the origin of the natural order could not destroy. At that time, the Illusory World had posed a serious threat to the Void Zone.

"I underestimated the influence of the Illusory World on the Void Zone!"

Merlin looked at the Illusory World scattered around him. He knew that as long as the Illusory World existed, it would affect the Void Zone and destroy the order of the Void Zone.

As long as the Illusory World was used, it was equivalent to destroying the order of the Void Zone. Therefore, Merlin would be regarded as the most serious threat after the Vestigial Tribe by the Void Zone.

However, Marta and the others did not know about this. They looked at Merlin as if Merlin was a riddle. They did not know the ins and outs and did not know what caused the Void Zone to reject Merlin.

Nevertheless, at least they knew that Merlin was extremely strong and could help them now.

"Merlin, we're all destroyers who were rejected by the Void Zone. As long as we stay in the Void Zone, we will always be rejected by it and be brought endless trouble. Back then, our Vestigial

Tribe's higher-ups actually made a plan. No matter how powerful the Void Zone was, it still had a core, which was the origin of the natural order! The natural order's origin didn't have a will, but if we can become the will of the origin of the natural order, then the entire Void Zone would come under our control. This is the real purpose of us coming to the origin of the natural order."

Marta stated their purpose. They wanted to control the origin of the natural order and by extension, the Void Zone. It was truly a wild and bold idea.

If they could really control the Void Zone, then would it not be the same as Merlin's Illusory World materializing illusions into reality, and him becoming a master of a Latitude Cosmos?

Perhaps this was the only way the Vestigial Tribe, and the other living beings in the Void Zone, could think of to reverse the natural order. If Marta and the others really controlled the origin of the natural order, then the natural order of the entire Void Zone would be changed by them.

Chapter 899: Vortex!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You're insane."

Merlin said coldly. He did not think that Marta and the others would be able to succeed. If it was so easy to control the Void Zone, then it would have been controlled by countless people already.

"How would we know if we don't try? Besides, the Vestigial Tribe was destroyed. What's the point even if we never die?"

Marta's tone revealed a hint of determination. They were the only three members left of the Vestigial Tribe, and lived in remorse every day. Days like that were endless. At this time, an endless life was just endless torture to them.

After a long silence, Merlin raised his head and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Do you see these threads in the power of the natural order? The end of the threads must be the center of the origin of the natural order. If we want to control the origin of the natural order, we just have to find it."

Marta said in a low voice. It seemed that they had already prepared.

"I'll go with you!"

Although he thought they could not succeed, how would Merlin be willing to miss such an opportunity? It was only natural that he would go and see for himself.

"Alright, continue searching."

Marta and the others released all their power, and a large vacuum immediately appeared beside them. This was to prevent erosion of the power of the natural order. Of course, since they were surrounded by the power of the natural order, their speed was abysmally slow.

Day after day, year after year, Marta and the others may not care about time at all but Merlin was very sensitive to it. It had only been a few thousand years since he came to this world.

Therefore, rushing a hundred years was quite long for him.

One hundred years. They had spent one hundred years just slowly walking in the origin of the natural order. However, they did not seem to have reached the center of the origin of the natural order.

However, they felt that the surrounding threads were becoming denser, and the denser the threads were, the closer they were to the center.

Merlin did not dare to expand his Illusory World easily this time. Instead, it was tightly restrained, and only protected Merlin from harm. As for the power of the natural order in the Illusory World, he did not dare to reveal even a trace of it.

In the origin of the natural order, if Merlin had revealed the new power of the natural order in the Illusory World, he did not know what changes would happen. Therefore, he remained cautious in the origin of the natural order.

Another two hundred years had passed. Marta and the others seemed to have used up more than half of their energy but they had not reached the center yet.

"Are we going to run out of energy and just drift in this endless origin of the natural order?"

Marta and the others were unreconciled but they did not have any other ideas. In the origin of the natural order, they were severely suppressed. Even if they went all out, it would only be equivalent to a little spray in the origin of the natural order. It had no effect at all.

Therefore, the only thing they could do now was to keep moving forward.

During these hundreds of years, although Merlin was restraining the Illusory World, the inside of the Illusory World was expanding continuously at a fairly fast speed.

Although the Illusory Tribe was of no active help to Merlin, they could quickly adapt to a new environment and become a powerful civilization again. This was caused by the details of their civilization. A civilization like that could quickly become strong even if they had temporarily fallen into a low ebb.

Of course, Merlin understood "order" from the origin of the natural order. Therefore, in the Illusory World, he also paid great attention to order and began to let the power of the natural order slowly disperse some power to maintain the order of the entire Illusory World.

With the order, the expansion of the Illusory World would become more rapid.

Although he still had not found a way to materialize illusion into reality, he could feel that the power of the Illusory World was increasing bit by bit. With the expansion of the Illusory World, and with balance and order, it would also promote the power of the natural order in the Illusory World.

Merlin felt that the natural order in the Illusory World, which had been simple in the beginning, was gradually strengthening under an imperceptible influence. The stronger the Latitude Cosmos was, the stronger its natural order would be.

Merlin was different from Marta and the others as he did not have to worry about energy exhaustion. His Illusory World had its own system and had endless power. Even if he wandered in the origin of the natural order for hundreds of millions of years, it would be fine.

However, once Marta and the others' energy was exhausted, they would lose their strength and be trapped in the origin of the natural order forever. Therefore, as time passed and their energy dwindled, Marta and the other Golden Ray Warriors also started to appear anxious.

They did not expect the world of the origin of the natural order to be so vast. They had been walking for hundreds of years but they still had not reached the center of the origin of the natural order.

"Maybe in a few more hundred years, our energy will be exhausted…"

Marta was also slightly helpless. They did not seem to notice that just in front of them, the threads suddenly increased in number, and the originally calm power of the natural order began to ripple like water. The ripples spread outward in circles.

Merlin noticed this phenomenon and became alert. He felt that there must be something hidden in front of them.

"Look, a vortex!"

Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared in the vast origin of the natural order. The vortex was the center of the origin of the natural order. Numerous threads converged into the vortex from all directions and were sucked into the vortex directly before appearing in another place.

The cycle repeated and never seemed to stop.

"We found it. We found it! This is the center of the origin of the natural order, and the source of all the power in the Void Zone!"

Marta, Larkin, and Myron were all extremely excited. Their voices were even shaking. They had searched for hundreds of years and now, they had finally found it.

Merlin was also overwhelmed with shock. This vortex seemed to have endless energy. His Mind Power extended to probe but was sucked in instead, and did not have any use. He could not find out what was inside at all.

This strange vortex was the source of the power of the Void Zone. It was full of mystery!

"Quick, go closer!"

Marta and the others saw the vortex, and quickly approached it while Merlin stood in the distance and watched coldly. He carefully observed the vortex and saw that there seemed to be some changes when it was devouring the strands.

For example, there were many black spots in the origin of the natural order, and these black spots were caused by creatures or forces that destroyed the order. There must be many living creatures like the black cat Didimoss who had reversed the natural order. The appearance of those creatures was what destroyed the order, and formed the black spots.

Therefore, when these black spots were engulfed by the vortex, they disappeared and were reintegrated into the origin of the natural order. This indicated that the being or force that had destroyed the order had disappeared.

Merlin immediately thought of the black cat Didimoss' death. Was the cause of death also related to this vortex?

"Could it be that after the black spots are devoured by the vortex, it's the way of the origin of the natural order to resolve these black spots? Once the black spots enter the vortex, the projection of the origin of the natural order will appear in the Void Zone, and cause a dead end and kill the being who had reversed the natural order."

Merlin was shocked. He felt that his guess was very close to the truth. This vortex was a self-evolved area of the origin of the natural order. This vortex was the true center of the origin of the natural order, and the real center of the Void Zone. That was because it contained the power of the entire Void Zone!

If, after passing through the vortex, the black spots became larger, it was because the being who had reversed the natural order had overcome the dead end. In that case, it would have become an existence comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors, and would be directly absorbed by the origin of the natural order into becoming avatars, and gain a portion of power to mobilize the origin of the natural order.

However, such examples were extremely rare and almost impossible. Most of the beings who had reversed the natural order had been killed.

Merlin glanced at the black area representing him. It was still quite far from the vortex. He knew that the black area representing him was not as large as it was now. It must have already entered the vortex. However, at that time, Merlin had encountered the attack of the origin of the natural order, and managed to overcome it. Therefore, the black area rapidly expanded and seemed to have formed a threat to the Void Zone.

"The vortex represents the strongest power in the Void Zone. Aren't Marta and the others in danger?"

Merlin saw that Marta, Larkin, and Myron were already gradually approaching the vortex. They wanted to control the vortex, which was quite outrageous.

However, Merlin did not dissuade them. Even if he did, Marta and the others would not listen at all. To them, it was the same whether they were in danger or not. They did not feel any "freedom" at all. Instead, they were immersed in their inner self-accusation. For them, the demise of the Vestigial Tribe was their greatest pain.

Therefore, they had to finish what the Vestigial Tribe had failed to at any cost. Even if the chances were slim, they still had to try.

Perhaps, to them, death was also a relief!

Soon, Marta and the others were close to the vortex. The huge vortex seemed to engulf everyone but the three of them were Golden Ray Warriors. They were powerful and fearless.

The three figures were tall but before this vortex, they still looked insignificant.

"We've finally entered the origin of the natural order and have the chance to finish what our Vestigial Tribe couldn't."

"Even if we fail, there won't be any regret. Our Vestigial Tribe will always try and will never be at the mercy of the Void Zone!"

"That's right, we have to try anyway!"

Marta took the first step and charged forward. His body emitted a golden radiance as he laughed, "Haha, let me try first. Take control of the Void Zone, just like how the Void Zone took control of our destiny!"

The Vestigial Tribe was born in the Void Zone for balance. From the beginning, the Vestigial Tribe had been "manipulated" by the Void Zone. Even if they had been splendid, it was just a flash in the pan.

This was the tragedy of the Vestigial Tribe!

"Whoosh."

While laughing, Marta's figure flew into the huge vortex.

Chapter 900: Danger Approaches!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Hum."

Just as Marta's figure flew into the vortex, the entire vortex began to shake violently like a giant gear, and a horrifying force broke out. Anyone would feel incomparably small in front of this force.

There was nothing much that could harm Marta's Golden Ray Armor. Even the Thirty-six Emperors could only imprison the three Golden Ray Warriors.

Furthermore, Marta was currently using his full power. Although his body was small, his willpower was amazing. That force was incredibly terrifying. He reached out his hand as if to grab something in the vortex.

"Crack."

The vortex seemed to stop at that moment but it was only for a moment, and it was restarted soon. At that instant, the terrifying power crushed directly as if it was tearing everything apart.

"Bang."

The power of the vortex was so strong that it caused despair. In a split second, it seemed unstoppable. The Golden Ray Armor that seemed to be indestructible was as fragile as an eggshell under this power. It was crushed instantly, turned into countless fragments, sucked into the vortex, and never seen again.

Dead. Marta, one of the three great warriors, who even the Thirty-six Emperors could not do anything against, died just like that.

Silence. In the pin-drop silence, the remaining Larkin and Myron looked at the vortex in astonishment. This huge vortex was still churning slowly as if nothing could make it change.

Merlin closed his eyes. Perhaps the others did not notice it but he could feel that at the moment of Marta's death, the power of the vortex increased a little. This vortex represented the power of the entire Void Zone. In other words, when Marta died, the power of the Void Zone increased again.

The Void Zone was born from the Void Zone, and their power belonged to the power of the Void Zone. A powerful Golden Ray Armor like Marta would return to the Void Zone after his death, so the power of the Void Zone would increase.

Furthermore, the Vestigial Tribe should have been destroyed but due to some accidents, these three Golden Ray Warriors had escaped the control of the Void Zone and became immortal and could only be imprisoned. They could not be killed, so their power naturally could not return to the Void Zone.

At that time, Merlin seemed to understand that it was a repeating cycle. This was the only way for a world to survive, and for the Latitude Cosmos to develop healthily.

Although he took great risks to come to the origin of the natural order, it was not fruitless. His was enlightened time and time again, which made his Illusory World more stable and stronger. Although he had failed to materialize illusions into reality, he could gradually become stronger step by step. Perhaps, there would be a metamorphosis in the end.

Merlin was not in a hurry now. He still had a lot of time and could make the Illusory World grow stronger. Even if it took hundreds of millions of years, he always had the hope of the Illusory World turning illusions into reality.

After Marta's death, Larkin and Myron glanced at each other but there was no sadness in their eyes as if they had expected this to happen. This was the origin of the natural order, the source of the power of the Void Zone. If would be strange if they could easily control the origin of the natural order and successfully control it.

"Marta died. Do we still try?"

"Of course, we do. Larkin, haven't you always been waiting for this day?"

Larkin and Myron looked at each other. They did not have a trace of fear at all. Perhaps death was a relief to them instead. Furthermore, they were acting for the long-cherished wish of the Vestigial Tribe.

"Haha, that's right. We're Golden Ray Warriors. We're soldiers who never yield. Even if it's the will of the Void Zone, it'll never break us. Let's go, together!"

Larkin and Myron flew into the huge vortex without hesitation. The golden light on their bodies vaguely formed to giant figures. The surrounding power of the natural order was pushed away by the powerful force, forming two vacuum areas.

"Boom."

The entire vortex trembled violently. The originally slow churning vortex slowly stopped, just like when Marta had entered it earlier.

Once the vortex stagnated, the entire origin of the natural order shook. The power of the natural order was like water, slowly boiling up. The threads in the power of the natural order seemed as if they were about to snap.

This was a sign of the Void Zone collapsing. Merlin was not clear at this time in the origin of the natural order but in the outside world, the entire Void Zone had undergone great changes.

The Void Zone without time and space began to shake slightly. Some small and barren dimensions even began to fall apart for no reason, and some weak civilizations were horrified. They did not know what was happening. It was just like the end of the world.

At this time, outside the gateway of the natural order, the remaining six Emperor-level existences also felt the turmoil in the Void Zone. With their sensitivity to the power of the natural order, they could instantly sense the change.

"Something has happened to the origin of the natural order."

"The origin of the natural order is the core of the entire Void Zone. Could those three Vestigial Tribe warriors and that mysterious Merlin pose a threat to the origin of the natural order?"

"Don't worry, it's just a little shake. The three great warriors were the strongest force of the Vestigial Tribe, and a problem the Vestigial Tribe left behind when they had escaped the control of the Void. Now, they dared to enter the origin of the natural order. That's clearly a suicide. Rest assured, soon, the three great warriors will return to the Void Zone, and it will be calm again. However, the only variable is Merlin. Until now, we still don't know why the Void Zone had rejected Merlin."

These six Emperor-level existences had a high status. As avatars of the origin of the natural order, they knew more secrets than anyone else. They were the ones who had imprisoned the three great warriors in the beginning because they were a problem without a solution. They could only treat the symptoms instead of the root cause. The three great warriors were a problem left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. They should have died along with the demise of the Vestigial Tribe long ago. That was the most perfect ending.

However, the three great warriors had survived successfully, and even the Thirty-six Emperors were helpless. They had already escaped the control of the Void Zone. Fortunately, the influence of the three great warriors was not big, so the Void Zone did not care about them either.

However, they dared to enter the origin of the natural order, which was to seek their own deaths. The six Emperor-level existences let the Void Zone settle the affairs with the Vestigial Tribe instead and make the Void Zone complete again.

However, the Thirty-six Emperors could not see through Merlin. As avatars of the origin of the natural order, they could not peer into Merlin's secret. This made them look at the gateway of the natural order with a hint of worry. Perhaps, the only variable was Merlin…Merlin did not know that he had become the only variable in the hearts of the six Emperor-level existences. Currently, Merlin was attentively staring at the huge vortex.

Once the vortex stopped rotating, the entire Void Zone would be affected. The origin of the natural order had already experienced monstrous waves as if it could no longer be controlled.

"Crack."

Another burst of noise sounded, and the stagnant vortex began to slowly turn again, carrying the force of the entire Void Zone. Nothing could stop it.

A trace of sadness appeared on Merlin's face. He knew what it meant for the vortex to start spinning again. It meant that Larkin and Myron had failed to control the origin of the natural order.

Perhaps they had already expected this to happen. How would the core of the entire Void Zone be so easily controlled by them? However, whether it was a glimmer of hope or death, it was also a relief for them.

"Boom."

The vortex suddenly increased in speed, and the boundless power instantly crushed Larkin and Myron. The vortex became even more powerful after the death of the two Golden Ray Warriors and their powers returned to the Void Zone.

With the death of the three Golden Ray Warriors, the Void Zone had lost the final trace of the Vestigial Tribe bloodline. The "plan" that the Void Zone had since the beginning could be said to have come to a perfect ending. Currently, the Void Zone seemed to be as strong as the most powerful moment it was after the ancient war. The surging power of the natural order combined with the vortex had also increased in speed.

Black spots passed through the vortex one by one and quickly disappeared without a trace. After the ancient war, in front of the powerful origin of the natural order, how could those beings or forces that had reversed natural order resist?

The disappearance of those black spots symbolized their death and destruction!

"There are times when a world goes out of control but in the end, the world will always restore calm and stability…"

Merlin felt something in his heart. He watched as the vortex speed increased and the black spots gradually disappeared. Then, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

"Swoosh."

Merlin raised his head, and looked at the black area that represented him. This black area, which was still expanding, had become a very obvious area within the origin of the natural order.

Now, this black area was rapidly approaching the huge vortex.

Merlin was shocked. He had done nothing, and stayed in the origin of the natural order but why was the black area getting larger?

"Is it my existence that's causing the greatest damage to the order?"

Merlin glanced at the Illusory World around him. In the past couple of hundred years, the Illusory World had expanded countless times. As a result, its power had become more powerful. Even if it still could not materialize illusion to reality, its ability to interfere with the material world had increased a lot, making it impossible for the surrounding power of the natural order to approach Merlin.

Perhaps, as Merlin thought, the existence of the Illusory World itself was the greatest destruction to order. For the Void Zone, Merlin's Illusory World posed a far greater threat than the Vestigial Tribe.

In the beginning, the Vestigial Tribe was born because the Void Zone wanted balance. However, Merlin's Illusory World was not controlled by the Void Zone. From its birth, it was the greatest threat to the Void Zone.

The reason why Merlin was not dealt with before was simply because the Void Zone wanted to recover the power of the three Golden Ray Warriors. Now that the Void Zone was at its peak, it was only natural that Merlin, the "unstable" factor should be thoroughly solved.

Chapter 901: Escape!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin was shocked. He felt a pressure that gradually rolled over him. This was the mighty power of the natural order, carrying the strength of the entire Void Zone.

"Crash."

The inside of the origin of the natural order was just like a large river. Surging waves were set off, and the power of the natural order suddenly grew rampant and charged toward Merlin.

The vortex seemed to speed up even more. It spun wildly and expanded continuously as if to devour Merlin.

Merlin knew that the real danger had arrived!

Merlin could not remain indifferent. Unless he was willing to be crushed by the vortex carrying the power of the natural order like Marta, Larkin, and Myron had been, he had to retreat immediately.

"Retreat!"

Merlin did not hesitate, and neither did the Illusory World. Since the Void Zone had already attacked him, there was no use in restraining the Illusory World anymore.

Therefore, Merlin immediately used the power of the Illusory World. The Illusory World expanded rapidly, interfering with the material world. Instantly, the surroundings were emptied, and the power of the natural order could no longer approach.

However, Merlin did not dare to come in contact with the huge vortex. He knew the vortex had gathered the power of the entire Void Zone. Once he was sucked in, it would probably crush the Illusory World. After all, Merlin had not reached the point where he could compete with the power of the Void Zone yet.

"Tear!"

Merlin had mobilized the full power of the Illusory World. Immediately, the Illusory World shook slightly. Even the power of the natural order in the Illusory World, which Merlin did not want to use, was in full power now.

The power of the natural order in Merlin's Illusory World was a completely new power of the natural order, different from the power of the natural order in the Void Zone. It broke out and formed two large hands. Then, they grasped the origin of the natural order, and viciously tore them apart.

"Boom."

The origin of the natural order was in chaos, and the boundless power of the natural order hit the Illusory World madly. It seemed to have sensed a brand-new power of the natural order, which caused the origin of the natural order to go insane.

"Hum hum hum."

Even the vortex wildly expanded, just like a bottomless black hole, devouring everything around it crazily. It expanded to Merlin's side in the blink of an eye.

An aura of death caused Merlin to shiver. He had not felt the threat of death for a long time ever since the Illusory World was perfected.

Even outside the gateway of the natural order, Merlin had killed three Emperor-level existences at once. He was unequaled. He had thought that no force in this world could kill him.

Now, if Merlin died with his special state, even the Soul Medallion Aruba gave him would not be able to revive him. That was because the current Merlin had exceeded even Aruba's expectations and was in a completely different form. Even the Soul Medallion could not do anything.

If he died this time, Merlin would truly die, and disappear.

Currently, Merlin was really in danger. He was facing the entire world, the entire Void Zone. No one could help him but himself.

"Illusory World, power of the natural order!"

Merlin shouted at the top of his voice. The Illusory World shook again, and stars exploded one by one. The force generated by the explosion seemed to be absorbed by a mysterious force.

The natural order. Merlin's power of the natural order was still operating in the Illusory World. However, Merlin had let the order in some areas of the Illusory World be destroyed, so the power of the natural order no longer needed to maintain it.

Therefore, the power of the natural order could be continuously strengthened but it would be difficult to restore it in the future. Furthermore, doing so would greatly damage the Illusory World.

However, Merlin had no other choice now. The vortex was expanding too fast. He was facing the pressure of the entire Void Zone.

"Hoo…"

A huge mouth in the vortex swallowed Merlin's body. In an instant, Merlin's Mind Power could not bear the heavy pressure and collapsed instantly.

However, that was only Merlin's Mind Power body. His crux was the Illusory World. As long as the Illusory World did not collapse, he would not die.

However, the power of the Void Zone was endless, especially now that he had fallen into the vortex. Facing the power of the Void Zone, even Merlin felt that he was helpless.

"Bang bang bang."

Merlin finally understood why even a Vestigial Tribe Golden Ray Warrior like Marta would be instantly crushed after falling into the vortex. A force like this could not be resisted.

Merlin's Illusory World was directly crushed without a trace of resistance. The mighty power of the natural order of the Void Zone drove straight into it and destroyed everything in the Illusory World.

"Power of the natural order, suppress!"

Merlin mobilized the power of the natural order in the Illusory World. In the Illusory World, the power of the natural order was still very strong. However, there was no way to materialize illusions to reality. Compared with the power of the natural order in a Latitude Cosmos, the gap was still very large.

The confrontation between the two powers of the natural order was very fierce, and the entire Illusory World was scattered and smashed.

Merlin's Illusory World was already a complete world and could even be called an imaginary Latitude Cosmos. It was only an illusion but everything in it was almost the same as an actual Latitude Cosmos.

For a perfected world to be destroyed, the power of the entire world had to be gathered. Although Merlin had obtained many benefits by coming to the origin of the natural order, and made the strength of the Illusory World several times stronger, he had stepped into a trap. Here, the strength of the entire Void Zone was gathered. It was the only place that could destroy Merlin's Illusory World.

The civilizations in the Illusory World seemed to be facing the end of the world. They looked at the starry sky where the imposing power had descended. It easily destroyed the civilizations, planets, stars, and everything into nothingness.

Even Merlin's consciousness began to sink. The Illusory World was now riddled with holes. If the power of the natural order was completely defeated, the Illusory World would collapse completely.

"Merlin, you need to escape!"

Titus' voice reverberated in Merlin's consciousness. As a transcendent being in the Illusory World, Titus was also affected by the destruction.

However, if the Illusory World did not collapse, Titus would be fine. He watched helplessly as Merlin's Illusory World was shattered. He once again felt how powerful a Latitude Cosmos was as well as how powerful the power of the natural order was.

"Yes, escape!"

Merlin's consciousness had already begun to sink but he woke up again after Titus' cry. However, Merlin did not have much strength left. The Illusory World was shattered, and the only power that he could use was the foundation – the power of the natural order!

The natural order was the foundation of a Latitude Cosmos and could not be damaged. However, Merlin had no other choice. Only the natural order could help him tear apart the origin of the natural order and escape from here.

"Merlin, leave the core alone but the rest of the natural order can be abandoned. Turn them into the most berserk force to help you escape the origin of the natural order!"

Titus had formed an Illusory World before, and naturally knew that this was Merlin's most dangerous crisis. The power of the natural order was the foundation of the Illusory World but there were differences in the power of the natural order.

The core natural order was the foundation of the world. However, for a Latitude Cosmos to operate normally, there were many other auxiliary natural orders besides the core. Only when they were brought together could a large world operate freely and continue to develop and grow.

Now, Merlin was going to abandon the other natural orders, leaving behind only the core. Namely, it was the natural order he had formulated for the Illusory World by fusing the Illusory World he had inherited from Titus with himself, the basic universe theorem.

The universe theorem came from the most basic knowledge from a world. It was now the root of the Illusory World as well as the foundation of the power of the natural order.

Besides the universe theorem, all other natural orders could be discarded.

Merlin, who had made up his mind, immediately burst into full strength. The natural orders collapsed instantly, and in a flash, the entire Illusory World shook violently. However, at the same time, incomparable strength burst out.

"Boom."

The power caused by the collapse of the natural orders was extremely terrifying. When it had collided with the power of the Void Zone of the natural order, even the huge vortex stopped.

"Crack."

There was a light sound. It was incredibly soft in the face of the violent explosions from earlier but Merlin had clearly sensed it. A slight crack had appeared in the black vortex.

He had abandoned most of the natural orders, and created an incredibly violent force that collided with the power of the Void Zone of the natural order. It finally tore apart the origin of the natural order.

"Go!"

Merlin did not hesitate. With his consciousness, he instantly carried an Illusory World riddled with holes, and got into the tiny crack before disappearing without a trace.

"Boom."

At that moment, the origin of the natural order seemed to go mad. It stirred up wildly, and countless golden threads on the power of the natural order collapsed. The black area which originally represented Merlin had become very small and was about to disappear. However, at that moment, it expanded crazily, and occupied a small part of the origin of the natural order in an instant.

It was black as far as the eye could see. It was even worse than when the Vestigial Tribe had swept through the Void Zone!

"Crash."

The monstrous waves raised by the origin of the natural order gradually calmed down. However, with Merlin's escape, the subtle fluctuations of the origin of the natural order quickly spread to all parts of the Void Zone.

Chapter 902: Three Thousand Years!

Previously, only six supreme existences such as the Thirty-six Emperors remained in the Void Zone. However, since the entire Void Zone had been shaken three thousand years ago, some changes appeared to have taken place.

Some larger civilizations had risen rapidly, some talented figures had also become ultimate existences, and even mobilized the origin of the natural order, easing the process. In particular, the fourth-grade ultimate Emperor existence, which had not been born for a long time, had begun to rise. It was as if the Void Zone had returned to its former age of glory and prosperity.

Meanwhile, some of the rare ultimate fourth-grade Emperor existences had appeared one after another, and without notice, became the avatars of the origin of the natural order and existences like the Thirty-six Emperors.

Within the span of three thousand years alone, the fourth-grade Emperor ultimate existences had risen significantly, and the supreme existences such as the Thirty-six Emperors had risen dramatically from the remaining six to thirty-six.

The Thirty-six Emperors were just about the toleration extent of the Void Zone. Even in ancient times during the golden age of the Void Zone, only the Thirty-six Emperors existed! The common life forms were naturally in the dark about what had happened but the Thirty-six Emperors knew well that this was a war far more devastating than the one against the Vestigial Tribe in the ancient times as it concerned the life and death of the entire Void Zone!

"Everyone, we've searched for over three thousand years but still, we've yet to discover Merlin that the great will of the Void Zone had us look for."

"It can't be helped. The great will of the Void Zone has been so wary and cautious of Merlin. He must be someone of extraordinary feat. Don't forget, he single-handedly killed three Emperor existences."

"We can only be patient and continue the search. Us Thirty-six Emperors may be powerful but the Void Zone is far too vast. No one can say that they've looked through every single dimension."

On an isolated dimension somewhere in the Void Zone, several Emperor-level contenders were currently inspecting every inch of their surroundings with furrowed brows but discovered no signs of Merlin.

Merlin was the culprit who had cause the turmoil in the Void Zone more than three thousand years ago, and posed a threat bigger than even the Vestigial Tribe. Therefore, in just three thousand years, although the Void Zone may have appeared glorious, in reality, it had fallen into a crisis, which was the reason why the Void Zone had allowed the birth of so many powerful contenders.

The fellow Emperor-level contenders shook their heads powerlessly as they flew off into different directions and continuing their search."Bang."

On an open space, two teenagers of about fourteen to fifteen years of age, with long blond hair and a pair of purplish eyes, were the rulers of this huge dimension, the Purple-eyed Tribe!

Only now, between the two teenagers who were fighting against each other, the slighter one was beaten to the ground with a single fist as the teenagers behind jeered.

"Haha, Stedman's so dumb. It's been a month, and he still hasn't mastered Storm Fist."

"Stedman may be the clan elder's son but he's the most useless one of them all. He's not qualified to enter the interclan tournament. He'd only embarrass us."

The group of teenagers sneered and mocked the scrawny teenager who had clenched their fists, and resentment fueled their hearts.

However, he was born less gifted, and it seemed that he was slower than others. Things that others would spend days to learn would take him months, and even then, he may not be able to master it. It would take him a long time to ponder a more complicated fist technique.

"C'mon, let's go. Don't bother with him."

The teenagers then left on their high horses. Although Stedman was born a noble, the clan elder had many other sons and could care less about him, the dull one which resulted in them riding atop his head.

After a moment, Stedman got up from the ground, brushed away the dirt, and took his leave, arriving at a relatively small residence.

The residence was only a part located in the most isolated area of the huge manor in front. He looked at the manor filled with luxuriously decorated rooms; those were the residences of his brothers. As the clan elder's son, this was one of their privileges. Unfortunately, Stedman was born dull, and had long since lost his father's favor, and had to live in the most secluded room in the manor.

It was a good thing that Stedman had always been introverted and preferred solitude. It was good enough that he had a little, isolated house to stay in.

"Creak."

Stedman opened the door, and wiped away the remaining tears on his face. Even though he was not gifted and slower than others, he was a very prideful person. He had spent nighttime practicing Storm Fist as well but despite spending two or three times the hours than others, he still failed to catch up with others' progress.

Until now, he had yet to even master a simple Storm Fist, much less activate the powers of the Purple-eyed. Mastering the power of talent was his dream.

Throughout the entire continent, the Purple-eyed people held a very special power, and that was the Purple-eyed talent which was in the blood of all. Only the most powerful Purple-eyed people would be able to activate its powers and gain the mighty powers of the talent and rise above others.

Stedman had dreamed of the day where he would be able to master the power of talent and become one of the strong and powerful so that no one would ever make fun of him again.

"I'll succeed because I have a secret!"

Determination colored Stedman's face as he clenched his fists tightly. Indeed, he had a secret. Just a few days ago, something that could change his destiny had happened.

"Lord Merlin, are you there?"

Stedman appeared nervous but there seemed to be no one in the room, and he was not sure who he was talking to.

"Stedman, you may come in."

An unfamiliar voice sounded but no one else apart from Stedman was able to hear it because the sound had come from his mind.

Stedman was brimming with excitement. He was able to enter the Illusory Subspace;

this was the fortuitous event he had encountered a few days ago. In his mind, a person who called himself Merlin had a peculiar subspace, and had allowed him to enter at will.

"Whoosh."

Stedman concentrated his focus. Then, his consciousness drifted into a subspace, and despite it being a subspace, it was an incredibly real, authentic world with blue skies, white clouds, mountains, rivers, forests, and so on.

On an open space, stood a building with a peculiar architectural design. Stedman knew that this was where the mysterious Lord Merlin was living in, called the "castle." In short, there had never been such a strange building on the continent.

This was the Illusory Subspace. Stedman loved this subspace, and the best thing about it was that there was endless time here for him to practice Storm Fist technique as long as he wanted.

For instance, an hour outside could have meant a full day in the Illusory Subspace, and this was why Stedman was so confident.

With the Illusory Subspace, he believed that even though he may not be able to catch up with others by just multiplying his efforts but if he could have more than ten or even twenty times more time than others, he would certainly be able to make up for the gap in his talent.

Stedman entered the castle and saw two men dressed in eccentric. He knew that one was Lord Merlin, and the other was Lord Titus. Both of them were very mysterious and powerful people.

Even though he had never seen them in action but how could they be any less than spectacular to be able to be in this peculiar subspace. As such, Stedman greatly respected both of them.

"Lord Merlin, Lord Titus!"

Without even turning back, Merlin, clad in black robes, simply nodded. "You're here, Stedman. Did you get beaten up again?"

Stedman, somewhat embarrassed, replied, "Nothing escapes Lord Merlin. However, that's personal. I'll resolve it myself!"

"Good. Hurry up and go practice then. The same rules apply. An hour outside is a day inside. With your Mind Power, you'll only be able to withstand twenty-four times of the time difference!"

After having said that, Merlin disregarded him. Stedman, on the other hand, had given a respectful bow, and headed into the castle. He knew that there was a special training room in the castle to help him practice his fist technique.

Since learning of the Illusory Subspace, and encountering Merlin and Titus, Stedman had entered the Illusory Subspace every day to practice his fist technique. Each day, his practices would last all day long.

In the Illusory World, a day was only an hour outside.

Time flew by quickly. As a tired, sweaty Stedman sat down to rest, he looked at the time. An entire day had passed, and he was exhausted. He knew that this was his limit.

With his current Mind Power, he was only able to last a day in the Illusory Subspace before he had to leave and rest for a night before he could return.

Stedman was taking deep, heavy breaths when he could not help but sigh. "Lord Merlin mentioned that my Mind Power is weak. If it were stronger, I'd be able to withstand a longer time flow rate so an hour outside would then become several days or longer inside the Illusory Subspace. By that time, I'd have even more time than others to practice my fist technique."

Stedman only cared about time. As for exhaustion, he had never felt tired. Every day, he trained hard, hoping that he would someday become strong and would no longer be looked down upon.

"It's time I bid farewell to Lord Merlin."

Stedman left the room, and returned to the living room in the castle. There, he saw Merlin and Titus still seated in the hall, and respectfully said, "Lord Merlin, Lord Titus, I shall be taking my leave now."

"Remember to practice the Mind training drill, I taught you when you go back. It'll help you improve your Mind Power and stay inside here longer in the future."

The black-robed Merlin said evenly as Stedman gave a determined nod. He knew that the Mind training drill was very precious, perhaps even more so than the fist technique passed down in the clan as it could allow him to spend more time in the Illusory Subspace.

"Go now."

Merlin waved a hand, and Stedman's consciousness slowly exited the Illusory Subspace, leaving behind only the black-robed Merlin and Titus who had been silent all this time.

After a long moment, Titus spoke languidly, "It's been three thousand years, Merlin. The Illusory World has just about been restored, hasn't it?"

Chapter 903: Parasitize!

"Restored?"

Merlin, who had kept his head low all this time, appeared calm and sedate as he slowly lifted his head. He glanced around and said in a low voice, "Titus, you've also been in the Illusory World. Can't you tell?"

Titus shook his head as he replied, "I can't. This Illusory World is completely under your control now, and I am but a parasite living in your world. What's more, since the Illusory World had been destroyed after the battle between you and the Void Zone, and after most of the power of the natural order had been destroyed, I can no longer sense the changes in the Illusory World. I'm only able to see what's happening to the world before me."

Titus' tone revealed a hint of helplessness. He was the one who had originally consolidated this Illusory World, and even the overall framework was built by him.

However, since he had given it to Merlin, the Illusory World had changed dramatically. Before, he was still able to sense some of the changes in the Illusory World but now that the Illusory World had been restored, the entire process had been built completely by Merlin's will. Thus, Titus had no connections whatsoever with the current Illusory World.

Seeing the look of helplessness on Titus' face, Merlin grinned. This feeling of having absolute control was wonderful. Three thousand years ago, he had been severely injured and was practically knocking on death's door.

The Illusory World was the foundation of his powers. He was most fortunate that his most basic natural order had not collapsed. That was the foundation of a perfect, complete world.

Therefore, with his powerful Mind Power, Merlin had effectively built a new Illusory World based on the foundation of the original Mind Heart and the broken Illusory World.

It could be said that this Illusory World had been restored. After three thousand years of restoration, not only had it been completely restored to its former state but Merlin's various sentiments of the origin of the natural order had also been incorporated into this renewed Illusory World.

As such, the Illusory World now had gradually materialized in the form of a complete Latitude Cosmos with its magnitude of proportions was several times larger than its former size.

Three thousand years were enough for the former Spell Caster civilization to rise into a powerful civilization, and it was also enough for Merlin's Illusory World to evolve to an almost terrifying extent.

If the immense size of the Void Zone was the standard, then Titus could not even imagine that Merlin's Illusory World had reached a hundredth of its size!

One hundredth may appear seemingly small but Merlin's Illusory World's territory back then had not even reached a ten-thousandth of its magnitude, let alone a hundredth.

A hundredth of its territory was already quite terrifying. The Illusory World today was complete and stabilized, and Merlin feared no one from the Void Zone.

No one but the origin of the natural order. If the origin of the natural order of the Void Zone had consolidated all of its power, it would still pose a threat to Merlin. After all, Merlin's Illusory World had yet to be stabilized.

"From illusion to reality… Where's the turning point?"

Merlin muttered. To actualize the Illusory World from illusion in three thousand years appeared to still be a dream, a far distant one as Merlin still did not have a single clue.

However, Merlin could sense that what he needed was a very important turning point. Perhaps it was just the light at that right moment that he needed for his Illusory World to take a crucial step forward.

All these years, Merlin had been searching for that turning point.

After a long moment, Merlin slowly replied, "The Illusory World had long been restored, and it's even advanced a step further!"

Titus was Merlin's only friend now; he could tell him anything without reservation.

There was a glimpse in Titus' gaze as he said in a deep voice, "Haha, I knew you wouldn't be so easily defeated. The Void Zone may be strong but it can't find us. You won't help that little guy out even once?"

Merlin knew that he meant Stedman. This little guy was the eighteenth person he had parasitized upon. He had a good character and will, though he was unfortunately regarded as a very dull and slow person among the Purple-eyed Dimension.

"He should be in charge of his own destiny. Can't you see that the little guy's willpower is strong? He's acquired more time than the others have, and that's his wish. Let him work hard. It'll help us avoid unnecessary ramifications as well. Our days of peace will come to an end if we're discovered by the Void Zone."

Merlin said calmly. The reason why he had parasitized in the body of another life form was to avoid being detected by the Void Zone. He knew that the entire Void Zone must have been looking for him desperately.

The minute he resurfaced in the Void Zone or a dimension, he was sure to be discovered by the Void Zone. By that time, all the many ultimate existences and even the Thirty-six Emperors were sure to pounce upon them.

Merlin was not afraid of the Thirty-six Emperors but he was not yet ready for the battle against the Void Zone. Since encountering the last incident with the origin of the natural order, he had learned that it had regarded him as its greatest threat, even more so than the Vestigial Tribe. Despite how great a danger the Vestigial Tribe posed, they had never destroyed Void Zone. At most, some of the orders of the Void Zone had caused an imbalance in the Void Zone.

However, Merlin's Illusory World could render the entire Void Zone to fall into shambles. This was what the Void Zone had feared the most. Merlin was not prepared for a battle of life and death with the Void Zone yet. Therefore, unless necessary, he would never appear in the Void Zone.

Even if the Void Zone was powerful and could sense every single place in the Void Zone, but there was one place that it was unable to detect, and that was in the body of a life form. That was why, for three thousand years, Merlin had parasitized in the body of a life form.

Most of the life forms that Merlin had parasitized had received some help from him and had gone from a small fry to becoming the leader of their civilization. Only, after their unfortunate deaths, Merlin would search for a new host in the shortest time possible.

Right now, Merlin was living in Stedman's body, and even without his help, Stedman could use the twenty-four times time difference in the Illusory World to make up for his gap with the other average Purple-eyed People.

Moreover, Merlin had even given Stedman a Mind training drill. Once Merlin's Mind Power was strengthened, then it would not only a time difference of twenty-four times, but even thirty, fifty, and a hundred times would be made possible.

Therefore, as long as Stedman followed the steps and persisted in his efforts while making use of these advantages, then even without significant help from Merlin, he would still be able to become an outstanding person in the dimension.

Titus said nothing further. He had been by Merlin's side for the past three thousand years, and now he had placed all his hopes on Merlin. He would not let him do anything that he was not certain of.

Titus was only waiting for Merlin's Illusory World to grow to the size of the Void Zone, powerful enough to stand up against it. By that time, the Void Zone would not be able to eliminate Merlin any longer, and they would have nothing to fear.

When that time arrived, however, it was likely that it would be Merlin who would seek out the origin of the natural order of the Void Zone.Time swiftly flew by, and finally, the day of the interclan tournament had arrived. It was of little concern to Stedman but he had insisted on continuing his training in the Illusory Subspace every day, and cultivated the Mind training drill given to him by the mysterious "Lord Merlin".

The Mind training drill could not directly increase Stedman's powers, and could only enhance his Mind Power. However, after strengthening his Mind Power, he was able to withstand a greater time difference in the Illusory Subspace, and now he had reached a point where he was able to withstand up to thirty times the time difference.

That meant that for every hour outside, he was able to stay up to thirty hours in the Illusory Subspace.

In the future, when his Mind Power had grown even stronger, he could even be able to maintain a time difference of fifty or even a hundred times. His heart soared with confidence and reassurance whenever he pictured such a scene.

Without noticing, Stedman had already mastered Storm Fist and was incredibly skilled in it. However, there was still no place for him in the interclan tournament as he now was only the clan elder's son, and could only watch on the side.

"Bam."

Yet, another young member of the Belmont clan had been defeated.

In this year's interclan tournament, the performance of the Belmont clan of which Stedman had come from was severely disappointing, and their results were almost at the bottom. Their younger generations were far inferior to the younger members of the other clans.

"Helba's lost again. No one in our Belmont clan won a single round yet…"

The younger members of the Belmont clan all turned red with shame. They had been bursting with confidence before, but now all of them had lost, and not even one had managed to score a win.

With such performance, it was a given how disappointed the elders were of them. With these results, even if they had managed to activate the Purple-eyed talent and acquired its power, would they be able to compare with the other clan's equally outstanding youths?

At that moment, some of the elders seated at the top shook their heads. "We've fallen. Was there no one that excelled among the younger generations of our Belmont clan? I'm afraid within the next few hundred years, the Belmont clan would only continue to decline."

The faces of the other elders were also sullen. As a clan elder, his expression was even darker. In all his years as the clan elder, there had been no outstanding prodigies among the young, which lead to the fall of the clan. Even when he passed on, he would not have a good name among the future descendants as well.

"Salin, are you forfeiting?"

Suddenly, the crowd rioted. The last contestant from the Belmont clan was the relatively well-known Salin, who intended to give up.

"My opponent is Corbach. He's one of the best of the Myron clan. I admit that I, myself, am no match for him. So, what else can I do but forfeit?"

Salin had replied straight-faced with a head full of blonde hair. Indeed, he was up against one of the most powerful prodigies of the Myron clan. Forfeiting may be the wisest decision after all.

Only, to willingly forfeit… In doing so, the Belmont clan would have lost all face.

"Father, may I be allowed to compete in Salin's place?"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang through everyone's ears.

Chapter 904: The Rise of Stedman!

"This is…"

"Stedman?"

The members of the Belmont clan looked over and saw a strange yet familiar figure.

Familiar because that figure was the clan elder's son. As the elder of the Belmont clan, their descendants would naturally be known by everyone, and carry certain status and privilege.

Strange because this character held little presence, and Stedman was one of the most mediocre, dullest, and least qualified among the family. Even the clan elder knew little about him.

The one who had spoken was indeed Stedman. He clenched his fists, and he tried to calm his agitation as he spoke in a low voice, "Father, Elder, since Salin has forfeited, why not allow me to have a go. The Belmont family has yet to have a single win, and I can't accept this!"

Stedman was aggrieved. As the person with the least qualifications, and as someone who had yet even to master the Storm First, he was unqualified to enter the competition and could only watch by the side.

"Haha, you want to participate in the interclan tournament, Stedman? I believe there's no need for us to emphasize how powerful Corbach is. You haven't even mastered the Storm Fist yet, and you want to take Stalin's place to compete with Corbach?"

The one who had spoken was one of the younger members of the clan who was familiar with Stedman. The younger members of the other clans all laughed along. It seemed that the dark clouds of this defeat had been swept away after Stedman's futile, overrated eagerness to participate in the competition.

"Hmph, what are you all laughing at? How can you still laugh?"

An elder chided angrily. In any case, no matter what, Stedman was still the clan elder's son. Seeing how dark the clan elder's expression was, it was a telltale sign of how bad his mood was.

"Clan elder, why not just give Stedman a go. It wouldn't matter even if he fails. Everyone knows that none of the younger generations of the Belmont clan is a match for Corbach."

One of the elders said offhandedly.

"Fine. I'll give you a chance, Stedman. Don't you dare disgrace the name of Belmont!"

The clan elder had said so with little care as everyone knew that Stedman would be easily defeated by Corbach.

Stedman, on the other hand, had grasped onto the clan elder's words. This was one of the very few times his father had personally spoken to him. Therefore, he went up to him, trying to contain the turbulence in his heart.

Over this period, Stedman had changed, and a great one at that. He had never craved victory so much so as he did today!

Stedman's opponent merely took a glance at Stedman as his long, golden hair fluttered in the wind and an imposing, piercingly cold aura emitted from his body.

"Whoosh."

Corbach always gave his all no matter who was his opponent. That was his way of doing things. However, that also meant that he could easily end up seriously injuring his opponents. This was the reason why Salin had forfeited. He did not wish to get beaten up badly in a competition where the result was obvious.

"This fool, Corbach may be able to kill him!"

Salin smirked. Even though he had given up and Stedman had taken his place, he was still irked. He was that sort of narrow-minded person. However, in the next moment, the smile on Salin's face turned still. Not only him but the clan's elders' expressions stiffened.

"Storm Fist, Storm Arcane!"

All eyes fell on Stedman as their gazes were filled with astonishment. Stedman's deep, heavy voice rung through their ears.

Storm Arcane was the strongest of the Storm First techniques. Some were even only able to master this skill if they had activated the Purple-eyed talent. This was the power of the storm!

However, now, in Stedman's thin, frail body, a violent force of power like a storm erupted. It was undeniable that he had mastered the arcane of Storm Fist!

"Boom."

The entire contest arena was shaking as gusts of wind swirled in Stedman's fists like he had possessed the power to manipulate the whirlwind, and threw a fist with the power of the storm.

This was the terrifying result of having mastered Fist Arcane. The power of a fist with the power of the storm far surpassed its bearer's strength.

A trace of fear appeared on Corbach's face but it was already too late. His body was swept up by the gust of wind, and a terrifying force instantly erupted as his body was soon covered in bruises and scars as he fell onto the ground with a heavy thud.

It was Stedman's win!

"Swoosh."

The elders of the Belmont clan all stood up at once as they stared in astonishment at

Stedman.

"Arcane, this is the power of the Arcane! I can't believe that there's still someone in our Belmont clan whose talent turns out to be a genius who holds the powers of the Arcane!"

"Genius, he's a true genius. From just a Storm Fist alone he was able to grasp the Storm Arcane. Even if his talent was never awakened, he would still be a force to be reckoned with."

"Haha, he's mastered the Storm Arcane at such a young age. Do you think he could awaken the powers of the blood talent?"

The Belmont clan was overjoyed. They had never expected that the mediocre, possibly even slow Stedman, whom the clan elder himself had given up upon, could have mastered the Storm Arcane of the Storm Fist.

For a time, the entire Belmont clan seethed in excitement.

Now, the interclan tournament had lost all purpose and meaning as no one was the opponent of Stedman, who had mastered the Storm Arcane, and he was crowned the champion without a doubt.

Stedman, too, was brimming with excitement. This was the first time he had ever gotten the entire clan's attention on him, and from now on, he would be their focus of training. As long as he kept a pure, sincere heart, persevered, and used the Illusory Subspace, then his future was sure to be bright.

Stedman knew inside that the reason he was able to master the Storm Arcane, apart from his hard work practicing the Storm Fist in the Illusory Subspace, the most important thing was the Mind training drill bestowed upon him by the mysterious "Lord Merlin".

Although the Mind training drill could not directly enhance his strength, in addition to being able to increase the time difference in the Illusory Subspace, Stedman also found that with the increase of his Mind Powers, his observation skills had also increased by numerous times. His acute observation skills had allowed him to understand the essence of the fist technique gradually while practicing the Storm Fist, and thus grasp the mastery of the Storm Arcane.

Otherwise, no matter how skilled and practiced in the Storm Fist he was, he would still just be an ordinary person who had mastered it, how could he have possibly mastered the Storm Arcane?

Stedman knew well that all of this had been given to him by the mysterious "Lord Merlin".

"I knew it, the mysterious Lord Merlin must be incredibly powerful, and the items bestowed by him must be extraordinary!"

Stedman decided that he would spend more time practicing the Mind training drill, and graciously thank this mysterious "Lord Merlin" when he returned.

Meanwhile, Stedman's every move was captured in the eyes of Merlin and Titus in the Illusory World. Titus smiled and said, "Merlin, in the end, you still couldn't help but give him a push."

Merlin, however, shook his head. "I didn't help him. He created the opportunity for himself with his determination! The Mind training drill I gave him was just very ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that these Purple-eyed People too possessed the Mind Power, I wouldn't have taught him the Mind training drill. This Mind training dill is of little help to him. The fact that he could grasp some of the Arcane meant that his comprehension isn't half bad. It's only because he was slow to pick up the fist technique that this edge of his was overlooked."

Merlin was able to control everything in the Illusory World, so naturally, he knew just how Stedman trained every day. He put his all into it and was almost practicing every second.

Stedman cherished the opportunity to practice the fist technique in the Illusory World and therefore wished not to waste a single moment of it. It was precisely owing to his persistence and determination that he was able to produce such great results.

The Mind training drill was indeed effective but its effectiveness was not as great as Stedman or Titus would have imagined. Rather, it was because of Stedman's talent.

"The power of the threads of the natural order on the little guy seems to have gotten denser as well…"

Merlin's eyes narrowed. It was a given that he could sense that the threads of the power of the natural order on Stedman's body had suddenly increased. After all, he was a life form of the Void Zone, one that was on the rise. His ties with the Void Zone would only grow closer henceforth.

Back then, when Merlin had consolidated the two Maxims and became a Lord, he was also closely connected to the Void Zone. However, his body had later collapsed, and with the Illusory World as a foundation, he had reconsolidated a spiritual body, which resulted in the disconnection of the link.

Of course, even now, although Merlin had fought with the Void Zone, there was still a trace of connection left. Only when Merlin's Illusory World was actualized would this connection be completely cut off.

"Let's wait and see…"

Merlin closed his eyes. He was at peace now. Such a sight was not unfamiliar to him. There were plenty of talented people among those that he had parasitized upon, and all of them had gone through a scene like this.

After the interclan tournament, Stedman had been the center of attention of the entire Belmont clan as the prime pickings of resources had all been provided to him. Meanwhile, Stedman had pegged away at his training as every day he practiced the Mind training drill that Merlin had given him, and spent a great deal of time training relentlessly in the Illusory World.

There were those that when provided with the opportunity, were sure to achieve great results by working hard and putting in the effort.

This was the case with Stedman. As he grew, although the concentration of his blood remained relatively low, seeing as he had mastered several Arcanes, the Belmont clan had forcibly kick-started the talent in his blood. Henceforth, Stedman, who had mastered the power of the blood talent had become even more powerful.

From a clan to an entire nation, Stedman had spent only a hundred years to transform from a nobody into the strongest contender of a country.

Another three hundred years had passed, and Stedman had even become one of the most noteworthy contenders of the entire continent. If measured according to the Spell Caster civilization's powers, then he was already Legendary.

The Legendary existence Stedman was only then gradually exposed to the Void Zone, and learned that his powers could hardly be considered powerful in the Void Zone. At least, he had never been able to see through Merlin who had accompanied him for the past hundreds of years.
