The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 468 Awakening of Chaos
The ceremony was held at the heart of the Elemental Altar, the place where the elemental power of the icy world is most concentrated.

As David and his companions stood on the altar, powerful elemental forces began to surge around them, as if the entire world was preparing for the ceremony.

David took out a bottle of precious Chaos Dragon Wolf Blood from his pocket, which he had obtained unexpectedly during his solo cultivation.

He knew the preciousness and power of this blood, and therefore decided to use it as a medium to guide the divine fire.

He slowly poured the blood into a groove in the center of the altar. Instantly, a scorching yet icy aura surged from the groove, resonating strongly with the surrounding elemental forces.

As the ritual progressed, the elemental forces on the altar began to converge into vortexes, and the blood of the Chaos Dragon Wolf became the bridge connecting these vortexes.

David closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then suddenly opened them, raised his hands above his head, and began to guide this powerful force.

Under his control, the originally chaotic elemental forces began to become orderly, gradually forming a double helix structure.

This structure contains both the heat and fury of fire and the cold and tranquility of frost, the two intertwined to create an indescribable harmony and balance.

Just then, strange celestial phenomena suddenly appeared around the altar.

A series of magnificent rainbows appeared in the sky, as if connecting heaven and earth; clear springs gushed forth from the ground, forming a striking contrast with the surrounding ice and snow.

The entire elemental altar was shrouded in a mysterious light, giving people an unprecedented sense of solemnity and holiness.

Under the influence of this powerful force, Huo Wu and Shui Lian's bodies also began to change.

Huo Wu transformed into a crimson divine bird, her wings spreading out to blot out the sky and her whole body radiating intense heat;
The water lily then coalesced into a statue of azure waves, beneath which an endless ocean arose, its waves surging yet serene and peaceful.

At this moment, their divine qualities were perfectly complemented and merged.

Fire Dancer is primarily offensive; her fire power is enough to incinerate everything.
Mizuren Tsukasa heals; her power of azure waves can soothe all wounds.

They officially entered the realm of demigods, becoming a new guardian force in the icy world.

After the ceremony, David felt a surge of new power coursing through his body.

A system notification sounded in his mind: "David has obtained the 'Divine Resonance' talent, which allows him to briefly draw upon the power of the Twin Gods, but each use will exacerbate the bloodline conflict."

He was well aware of the preciousness and danger of this talent, but he also understood that it would play a huge role in crucial moments.

However, just as they were immersed in joy and celebration, an ominous atmosphere quietly descended.

The wizard messengers arrived in the Frozen World at the same time, bringing with them a shocking message: they demanded that David hand over the research rights to the Divine Crystal.

Both kingdoms have long coveted the elemental power of the Frozen World, and the Divine Crystal, as the core of elemental power, is their most coveted goal.

They threatened to wage war to seize everything if David did not relinquish control of the research.

Faced with this sudden threat, David and his companions fell into deep thought.

They knew that this war would bring enormous disaster and destruction to the Frozen World, but they were unwilling to easily give up their research and control over the Divine Crystal.

At this critical moment, they must make a wise and decisive decision to protect their homes and loved ones.

In the heart of the Frost Realm, a tense diplomatic meeting is underway.

Representatives from various factions sat around a large conference table, the atmosphere heavy and tense.

The representatives from the Blazing Domain spoke first, citing Huo Wu's Blazing Bloodline as the reason for making strong demands on the Frost Domain, attempting to seize control of the Divine Crystal through bloodline ties.

Representatives from the Frost Realm countered by presenting an ancient book on the ownership of the Ice Abyss, proving the Frost Realm's long-standing sovereignty over this land and its elements.

Each page of the ancient book carries the weight of history, leaving the representative of the Blazing Domain speechless for a moment.

Faced with the fierce dispute between the two sides, David calmly proposed a compromise.

He allowed scholars from the Blazing Flame Domain and the Frost Domain to enter the Wizard Academy to jointly study the byproducts of the Divine Crystal, as a bargaining chip to secure a military alliance between the two domains.

This proposal not only demonstrated David's wisdom but also bought precious time for peace in the icy world.

However, just as the meeting seemed to be on the verge of reaching a consensus, an undercurrent quietly began to stir.

A hellish wizard disguised himself as an envoy from the Frost Realm and infiltrated the meeting.

His target was Fire Dance, and he attempted to steal a sample of her bloodline to study the fiery power behind it.

Fortunately, thanks to its keen sense of nature, the leaf had set up a plant trap in advance.

As the Hell Wizard approached Fire Dance, the trap was instantly triggered, trapping him in a dense thicket of vines.

Ye Zi's timely action exposed the Hell Wizard's conspiracy and reminded everyone once again of the hidden dangers in this power struggle.

After the meeting, Lia remained alone in the room, gazing at the silver moon pendant in her hand, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and determination. Through a complex magical ritual, she deciphered a map of the "Four Elemental Godhood" from the pendant.

This map not only reveals the deep secrets of elemental power, but also hints at the direction of the next main objective.

Lia knew that this map would lead them on a brand new adventure.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious mansion in the Blazing Domain, Noah's consciousness quietly possessed a maid.

She observed everything in the Blazing Domain through the maid's eyes, secretly plotting her own scheme.

Noah's existence is like a hidden bomb, which could trigger greater turmoil and conflict at any time.

After the meeting, David urgently discussed the threat of the Hell Wizard and the map that Leah had discovered with his teammates.

They realized that with the intervention of various forces and the undercurrents, the Frozen World was facing unprecedented challenges.

To protect their homes and loved ones, they must unite more closely to face the impending storm.

Leaf used her plant magic to strengthen the wizarding academy's defenses, ensuring the smooth progress of research while also preparing for potential attacks.

She knew all too well that in this power struggle, any oversight could lead to irreversible consequences.

Huo Wu and Shui Lian began a new training plan, hoping to further enhance their strength with the guidance of the "Four Elemental Godhood" map.

They know that only by becoming stronger can they better protect themselves and those around them.

Lia continues to delve deeper into the secrets of the Silver Moon Pendant and the map, attempting to find more clues about elemental powers and future adventures.

Her wisdom and courage made her an indispensable force in the team.

As time went by, the tranquility on the surface of the icy world was gradually broken.

Various factions began secretly mobilizing their troops in preparation for the impending conflict. David and his teammates knew that the real test was about to begin, and they had to be fully prepared to remain undefeated in this game.

In the tense atmosphere, David decided to send a small team to the Blazing Domain to conduct reconnaissance in order to understand Noah's movements and the Blazing Domain's true intentions.

Led by Lia and Yezi, the team will use their special skills to infiltrate the Blazing Domain and gather intelligence.

Meanwhile, David and Water Lily remained in the Frost Realm to strengthen defenses and maintain emergency contact with allies to ensure they could receive support in critical moments.

They knew that only by uniting all forces that could be united could they win this game.

In the Realm of Flames, Lia and Leaf moved with extreme caution. Using camouflage and magic, they evaded the patrols and successfully infiltrated an important intelligence center.

There, they discovered a detailed report on Project Noah, which described a full-scale invasion of the icy world and complete control over elemental forces.

This information shocked Lia and Yezi.

They realized that Noah's ambitions far exceeded their imagination, and if they did not stop him in time, the Frozen World would face annihilation.

They decided to return to the Frostlands immediately and report the intelligence to David.

On their way back, Lia and Ye Zi encountered pursuers from the Blazing Domain.

Using their wisdom and courage, they cleverly evaded their pursuers and successfully returned to the Frost Realm.

When they reported the intelligence to David, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of urgency and crisis.

David quickly gathered all his teammates and allies to discuss countermeasures.

They decided to strengthen the defenses of the frozen world while actively seeking external support to deal with the impending invasion.

In this struggle, they must do everything in their power to protect their homes and loved ones from the ravages of war.

However, just as they were making their preparations, an unknown force quietly descended upon the icy world.

This power belongs neither to the Domain of Blaze nor to any known faction.

Its appearance has left everyone confused and uneasy, and it also foreshadows that this game will become more complex and dangerous.

Faced with this unknown force and the impending challenges, David and his teammates must unite more closely, leverage their respective strengths and wisdom, and work together to cope with this unprecedented crisis.

They knew that only by uniting as one and forging ahead could they achieve final victory in this contest.

At the edge of the Blazing Domain, Fire Dance stood alone, gazing at the ancient and sinister Gate of Hell before her.

The black mist seeping through the crack in the door contrasted sharply with the scorching air of the Blazing Domain, foreshadowing the endless darkness and evil hidden behind it.

Huo Wu took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes. She raised her hands high, and blazing flames instantly gathered in her palms, transforming into a fire dragon that lunged towards the Gates of Hell.

The moment the fire dragon collided with the gates of hell, a deafening roar erupted.

Flames and black mist intertwined, creating a horrifying scene.

However, Fire Dance did not back down. She continued to unleash the power of fire, attempting to completely burn down the portal connecting the two worlds.

Through her efforts, the gates of hell gradually began to collapse, and the dark aura slowly dissipated.

Meanwhile, inside the royal palace of the Frost Realm, Water Lily was busy. Various precious herbs and magical reagents were laid out before her; her goal was to purify the corrupted royal bloodline.

This task is arduous and complex, as the contamination has penetrated to the bone marrow, requiring extremely delicate operations and powerful magical abilities.

Shui Lian took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to guide the water power within her body, slowly infusing it into the herbs and reagents.

As time passed, the herbs and reagents began to change, emitting a faint glow.

Shui Lian carefully fed the purified liquid to the royal family members, whose complexions gradually became rosy and their eyes regained their former luster.

After the last member of the royal family was purified, Shui Lian leaned back wearily in her chair, a relieved smile on her face.

On the other side of the Frost Realm, David and his teammates are tracking the Icecrown Duke.

They discovered that the Icecrown Duke's behavior was becoming increasingly bizarre, seemingly controlled by some mysterious force.

After some investigation, they finally uncovered the true identity of the Icecrown Duke—he was actually Noah's puppet!
This discovery shocked everyone and made them realize that Noah's influence had infiltrated the core of the Frost Domain.

David and his teammates decided to act immediately. They set up an ambush and waited for the Duke of Icecrown to appear.

When the Icecrown Duke stepped into the trap, a fierce battle immediately broke out.

David and his teammates fought hard and finally killed the Icecrown Duke.

After the battle, they searched the Icecrown Duke's belongings and discovered a mysterious scroll called the "Bloodline Grafting Scroll".

This scroll is said to be able to transfer and fuse bloodlines, possessing extremely powerful abilities.

However, the price of victory was heavy.

During the battle, in order to protect her younger sister, Shui Lian, Lena unfortunately fell victim to a strange curse.

This curse was constantly eroding her vitality, making her increasingly weak.

To save Lena, David and his teammates search far and wide for a way to break the curse.

Eventually, they learned of an ancient method: periodically absorbing the power of divine fire to prolong their lives.

Although this method was fraught with danger, they decided to give it a try for Lena's life.

Each time Lena absorbs the divine fire, she has to endure immense pain and torment.

But her strength and courage allowed her to pull through time and time again.

In this process, her bond with the Geminis deepened.

They went through life-and-death trials together, and their trust and reliance on each other had reached an unprecedented level.

As Lena's condition gradually stabilized, David and his teammates began to prepare their plan to fight Noah.

They knew that Noah's ambitions went far beyond that; he longed to control the entire elemental world and become the supreme god.

To stop Noah's plot, they must unite all forces that can be united to fight the impending war of the gods.
