The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 496 The End of Bloodline Civilization
The battle became exceptionally fierce.

With unwavering faith and seamless teamwork, Lia and her warriors gradually turned the tide of the battle.

They relentlessly repelled the beast warriors, plunging the beast army into chaos.

However, just when victory was in sight, an unexpected situation occurred.

The repelled beast warriors suddenly collapsed to the ground, strange elemental runes appearing in their pupils.

These runes shimmered with light, as if absorbing the surrounding magic.

"Oh no! They're absorbing magic!" David exclaimed.

Lucia realized this too, and she watched the beast warriors nervously.

Under the illumination of the runes, their bodies gradually regained their strength, and even became stronger.

Their eyes grew even fiercer, as if they wanted to tear any enemy standing in their way to shreds.

Lia also noticed this change. She frowned and quickly made new tactical arrangements.

She directed the warriors to change their attack methods, attempting to interrupt the beast warriors' absorption of magic.

However, these beast-like warriors seemed to have gone into a frenzy, charging towards Lia's warriors recklessly.

The battle once again reached a stalemate.

Despite their best efforts, Lia and her warriors began to feel overwhelmed by the ever-growing beast army.

Just then, David and Lucia decided to join the battle. They summoned powerful elemental forces and launched a fierce attack on the beast-like legion.

With the help of David and Lucia, Lia's warriors finally got a chance to catch their breath.

Taking advantage of the situation, they adjusted their tactics and launched a counterattack against the beast-like legion together with David and Lucia.

After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the beastman legion and won the battle.

After the battle, the surviving beast warriors lay on the ground, their pupils still reflecting those strange elemental runes.

David stepped forward and carefully examined the runes.

He discovered that these runes seemed to have some kind of connection with the surrounding elements, allowing the beast warriors to autonomously absorb magic to enhance their power.

“It seems these beast warriors are also evolving,” David said in a deep voice.

Lia nodded, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes as she looked at the beast warriors.

She knew that although these beast warriors had once been their enemies, they had also shown admirable courage and resilience in this battle.

“In any case,” Lia said firmly, “we must continue forward and explore more truths. Only in this way can we better protect this world.”

David and Lucia both showed expressions of agreement upon hearing this.

They know the road ahead is long, but they are ready to meet any challenge.

They will continue to walk hand in hand, never ceasing their pursuit of truth.

In a secluded place far from the area of ​​elemental rampage, Cynthia is immersed in the Nine-Tailed Illusion, conducting an unprecedented interdimensional war simulation.

This illusion was created by her using ancient magic and the spiritual power of the nine-tailed fox. The flow of time within it was accelerated to a thousand times that of the outside world, providing Cynthia with an almost infinite window of time to explore possible futures.

Within the illusion, a state of nascent chaos unfolds, light and shadow intertwine, and the outlines of various civilizations gradually take shape in the void.

Cynthia stood above a vast void, her eyes gleaming with wisdom, her hands waving lightly as if commanding an invisible battle.

Beside her, the phantom of the nine-tailed fox appeared and disappeared, its nine tails swaying gently, releasing a soft and mysterious power that provided the necessary support for this deduction.

“Let’s begin,” Cynthia whispered, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable firmness.

As she commanded, time began to flow rapidly within the illusion, with various civilizations rising, flourishing, or rapidly declining in the accelerated torrent of time.

Cynthia's eyes were fixed on everything, her mind racing as she calculated every possible path forward, trying to find the way to victory.

However, the deduction process was far more complicated than Cynthia had anticipated.

In the illusion, she witnessed the demise of 730 civilizations, each one filled with tragedy and helplessness.

Some civilizations self-destruct due to internal strife, others are powerless to resist external threats, and still others gradually collapse due to the imbalance of elements.

Cynthia's expression grew increasingly grave, her eyes filled with worry.

She realized that these projections were not only a review of the past, but also a warning for the future.

If the paths to the demise of these civilizations could indeed be repeated in the real world, then all of them would face a tremendous crisis.

Just as Cynthia was lost in thought, David suddenly entered the illusion.

His face showed a hint of anxiety, and his eyes flickered with unease.

He saw everything in the illusion and felt the oppressive atmosphere.

“Cynthia, what did you find?” David asked eagerly.

Cynthia turned around, looked at David, and slowly said, "David, I have seen the paths to the destruction of seven hundred and thirty civilizations."

Each one was fraught with tragedy; none could escape the fate of destruction.

David's heart tightened upon hearing this.

He knew Cynthia's deductive abilities well and understood what these deductions meant.

He was silent for a moment, then said, “Cynthia, we must find a way to avoid this fate.”

Otherwise, our world will face the same crisis.

Cynthia nodded and said, "I'm thinking about that too."

During the deduction process, I discovered a crucial piece of information.

When the concentration of elements exceeds a certain critical value, the world will spontaneously form a purging mechanism to eliminate life forms that cannot adapt to the environment.

This mechanism may be one of the important reasons for the demise of civilizations.

David frowned upon hearing this.

He said, "So, how should we deal with this purge mechanism? Are we just supposed to sit and wait to be killed?"

Cynthia shook her head and said, "No, we still have a chance."

The results of the deduction also implied an important message: we must complete the dimensional ascension within this era, otherwise it will trigger automatic formatting, leading to the destruction of the entire world.

Ascending to a higher dimension is our only way out.

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in David's eyes.

He said, "So, how do we achieve this dimensional ascension? It requires the collective effort of all of us."

Cynthia nodded and said, "Yes, David."

Ascending to a higher dimension is not an easy thing; it requires the collective wisdom and strength of everyone.

However, I believe that as long as we are united, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve our goals. In the days that followed, Cynthia and David began to prepare for their plan to ascend to a higher dimension.

They gathered all their trusted partners to discuss countermeasures.

They studied various possible methods of dimensional expansion, trying to find the most feasible path.

However, the path to dimensional ascension is fraught with unknowns and challenges.

They will face resistance and difficulties from all sides, including hostile forces that are trying to prevent them from ascending to a higher dimension.

However, Cynthia and David did not give up; they firmly believed in their convictions and forged ahead.

With the help of the Nine-Tailed Illusion, they continuously conducted deductions and simulations, trying to find the best way to ascend to a higher dimension.

They experienced countless failures and setbacks, but each failure only strengthened their resolve.

Finally, after countless efforts and attempts, they found a feasible path to dimensional ascension.

They began to implement the plan, pooling everyone's strength and resources, and moving towards the goal of dimensional ascension.

In the deep and mysterious torrent of rules, David is standing in a virtual space woven from countless points of light.

Beside him, the Silver Moon gazed and slowly rotated, radiating a soft and mysterious light, gradually transforming the surging energy flow in the torrent into a programming language that David could understand.

David stared intently at the code before him, his eyes filled with focus and curiosity.

He knew that these codes were not just combinations of numbers and symbols, but the cornerstone of the underlying logic of this world.

By analyzing this code, he might be able to find the key to breaking through his current predicament.

As the Silver Moon Gaze rotated faster and faster, the code flow became increasingly clear.

David began to read line by line, his mind leaping with the flow of the code, trying to capture the secrets hidden within.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a seemingly insignificant string of code.

This string of code is hidden within a complex logical structure, yet it radiates an unusual brilliance.

David had a sudden realization that this string of code might contain some important information.

He carefully began to analyze the code, and as the analysis deepened, his expression gradually became serious.

He discovered that this string of code actually constitutes a logical chain, and its essential function is to prevent living beings from breaking through the limit of 11-dimensional cognition!
A sense of awe welled up in David's heart.

He realized that this discovery might mean that their efforts had been constrained by some invisible force.

If they cannot break through this limiter, then no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to truly understand the essence of this world, let alone find a way to ascend to a higher dimension.

However, David was not discouraged.

On the contrary, he became even more determined to break this chain of logic.

He began attempting to tamper with the core parameters, trying to find a way to bypass the limiter.

Just as he was about to touch the core parameters, the entire torrent of rules suddenly began to violently turbulent.

A powerful energy surge emanated from the depths of the torrent, as if something was awakening.

David's heart tightened; he realized that some kind of defense mechanism might have been triggered.

Sure enough, soon after, a huge six-fingered hand emerged from the torrent, its fingers wrapped in complex runes and emanating a chilling aura.

The giant hand seemed extremely displeased with David's alteration. It suddenly swung its hand, and a powerful energy wave rushed towards David.

David quickly dodged, but even so, he was still thrown back several steps by the aftershock, his face turning pale.

"Damn it!" David cursed inwardly, but he didn't give up.

He knew that this giant hand was likely the one guarding this chain of logic, and if he wanted to move forward, he had to defeat it.

He quickly adjusted his mindset and regrouped.

This time, instead of blindly attacking the giant hand, he began to observe its attack patterns and look for weaknesses.

After a fierce battle, David finally found the giant hand's weakness.

He seized the opportunity and struck hard, successfully shattering the giant hand.

However, just when he thought victory was in sight, the giant hand suddenly transformed into a stream of light and merged back into the torrent.

David was startled; he realized that this giant hand might just be one of many entities guarding the chains of logic.

If he wants to truly break this chain of logic, he must face even more challenges.

But he didn't back down.

He took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the core code.

This time, he operated more cautiously, trying to find the key to breaking the logic chain without triggering the defense mechanism.

Time passed by, and David was completely immersed in the sea of ​​code.

His fingers flew across the void, each tap seeming to be a dialogue with the rules of this world.

Finally, after countless attempts, David found a delicate balance.

He carefully adjusted the parameters to ensure that the defense mechanism would not be triggered while gradually weakening the constraints of the logic chain.

As the parameters gradually changed, David felt an unprecedented sense of freshness wash over him.

He seemed to have broken through some invisible barrier and seen a completely new face of the world.

He realized that he had successfully taken the first step in breaking the chain of logic.

However, he also knew that this was only the beginning of the Great Wall.

He still has a long way to go before he can truly break through the limitations of 11-dimensional cognition.

But in any case, he has taken this step, which is enough to make him feel incredibly excited and expectant.

Under the azure sky of Crystal City, an unprecedented magical storm is quietly brewing.

Dark clouds gathered and thunder roared, as if the entire world was trembling in anticipation of the impending catastrophe.

The city's residents all looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with fear and unease.

Deep within Crystal Song City, the old nobles saw an opportunity in this storm.

They secretly gathered in an ancient underground temple, clutching their ancestral sacred artifacts, their eyes gleaming with greed and madness.

"This is our chance!" an elderly nobleman exclaimed excitedly. "Using this magical storm, we can resurrect the ancient gargoyle army and regain control of Crystal Song City!"

Other members of the old aristocracy echoed this sentiment, their faces beaming with a thirst for power and a yearning for the future.

They began to point the sacred artifacts at the storm in the sky, and powerful streams of magic flowed from the artifacts, resonating with the energy in the storm.
