The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Chapter 263 The Thrones Gather, Crystal Rock Empire

Chapter 263

In the Duchy of Cuilan, the great chaos stirred up by the Creation Society was extinguished swiftly, at a speed that no one had anticipated.

It should be noted that just a few days ago, the Creation Society was making a big fuss, claiming that the situation was already settled and that the fall of the Duchy of Cuilan was only a matter of time.

But no one expected that just a few days later, Viscount Layton and Evelyn joined forces and swiftly and decisively suppressed the rebellion!

The mastermind and top leaders of this operation were captured one by one.

Even the "divine tree" on which they had placed such high hopes, along with a portion of the bloodline power of the feathered serpent god, fell entirely into the hands of Lynn and Evelyn.

For the Creation Society, since their emergence, they have almost never encountered such a devastating and utter defeat!

For the Duchy of Cuilan, this was undoubtedly a resounding and complete victory.

Evelyn barely used any troops; simply announcing the news of the "thunderous crackdown" was enough to instantly quell all the unease and panic throughout the country.

At this moment, in the city of Leiner in the province of Lanyu.

A long, dragon-like procession snaked beneath the city wall, heavily guarded and extremely imposing.

This group was escorting the Genesis Society's most wanted criminals who had been captured during the rebellion.

One by one, these once arrogant and condescending rebels are now bound and imprisoned, looking utterly pathetic.

Quentin, a faint smile on his lips, slowly walked towards the center of the team.

That place was the prison where the core leaders of the Genesis Society were held during this operation.

These people were the very same devout believers who had officiated his "initiation ceremony" and shouted "Creating a better new world."

But now, where is there even a trace of the warmth of the past?

Everyone glared angrily, their eyes blazing with murderous intent, wishing they could skin Quentin alive and tear him apart!
Despite the hateful stares of the crowd, Quentin remained calm and focused his gaze straight ahead, casting his eyes towards the very back of the group.

There, he met his old flame, Polina, with whom he had once had a "deep collaboration."

Even though they were rivals, Quentin admitted that the two had once shared a sexual relationship.

Therefore, he still decided to come here to "visit" as a way of giving an explanation to his old relationship.

However, before he could even utter a word, he was met with Polina's contemptuous spit and her cold, murderous gaze.

Quentin sighed helplessly, shrugged, and knew in his heart: this trip was a waste of time, and there was no point in saying anything now.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, a dazzling streak of light appeared in the sky!

That is, the half-step Feathered Serpent God!

Holy light cascaded down like a waterfall, wings unfurled, and the image of a pure white, holy and majestic deity suddenly descended!

It hovered above the city of Lena, its feathers as white as jade, and as it shone with holy light, it seemed to exude the oppressive aura of a god looking down upon all living beings.

However, the moment the half-step Feathered Serpent God descended upon the skies above Leiner City, many sharp-eyed alchemists immediately noticed something amiss.

That feathered serpent god's shadow was larger than ever before.

Its form was majestic, its aura as powerful as a mountain, and its holy pressure almost enveloped the entire city!

"This is... Quetzalcoatl's power has increased again?!"

An old alchemist exclaimed, his voice filled with shock and awe.

Almost simultaneously, the gaze of the entire city of Lennar turned to the sky.

Countless alchemists were shocked, discussing and speculating:
Has this queen of the Feathered Serpent Society already progressed from a half-step Feathered Serpent God to a true Feathered Serpent God?
Does this mean that Evelyn has broken through to the level of a Gold Alchemist and become a true Gold Throne?

If that's the case, it would be a rise of power that the entire Alchemist Alliance cannot ignore!
However, unlike the outside world's discussions, the alchemists within the Feathered Serpent Order, while also shocked and excited, did not fall into blind fanaticism.

As the true masters of the feathered serpent god's legacy, they were able to clearly sense the state of the feathered serpent god's totem.

Indeed, Quetzalcoatl's power is now much greater than before, and he even shows signs of entering the Gold Saint realm.

However, he has not yet truly crossed that final threshold and remains at the level of "half-step Feathered Serpent God".

Despite Evelyn drawing immense power from the captives and bloodlines of the Creation Society, causing the totem to advance by leaps and bounds.

However, it still falls short of the previous true Feathered Serpent God.

However, everyone understands that the distance between them is only a matter of time.

Give Evelyn enough time to settle down and retreat, even if she doesn't rely on the remaining Quetzalcoatl bloodline.

Sooner or later, she will truly transform the totem, elevate it to a golden totem, and make it a true golden alchemist!
But unfortunately.

Right now, she has no time to go into seclusion to cultivate, nor is she qualified to slowly accumulate experience and wait.

Because, although the Creation Society has been severely damaged, the undercurrents have not yet stopped;
Meanwhile, another, more cunning and dangerous enemy, Karen, the successor of Skyward Wings, remains active on the fringes of the situation, secretly plotting!

This time, the Duchy of Cuilan not only suppressed the Genesis Society's rebellion in a short period of time and recovered all lost territory, but also successfully collected conclusive evidence of Karen's secret collusion with the Genesis Society.

Faced with such irrefutable evidence, Evelyn no longer hesitated.

She made a decisive decision to personally escort this group of Genesis Society criminals, along with all the intelligence and evidence, to the Alchemist Alliance headquarters.

The goal was straightforward: to force the emperor to resign!

She wanted to expose Karen's hypocritical and ugly face in public!
Whether they can completely force the heir of the Sky-Piercing Wings to their deaths remains to be seen.

But Evelyn's trip will at least allow her to vent her anger, and she can also take the opportunity to win a large sum of compensation and political initiative from the Alchemist Alliance!

Just as the magnificent phantom of the feathered serpent god slowly dissipated above the city of Leiner.

The escort team carrying the Genesis Society's wanted criminals was also fully prepared and set off in a grand procession.

Their destination.

It is the headquarters of the entire continent's Alchemist Alliance, and also the Crystal Rock Empire, which is known as the strongest empire on the continent!

....................................

On this continent, the three strongest totem forces have already been established:

They are:
The "Fish-Dragon Emperor" who controls the sea;
The "Sky-Piercing Wings" that rule the skies;
And the "Crystal Rock Beast God" who rules the land.

Although all three possess the ultimate power of the Golden Totem, there is no dispute as to which one is the strongest.

The Crystal Rock Beast God, who controls the earth, undoubtedly ranks first!
The reason is extremely simple:
The earth bears all things, and humankind stands on the ground. The Crystal Rock Beast God rules over the very foundation of all life.

In contrast, the Fish-Dragon Emperor and the Sky-Soaring Wings, though respectively ruling over the seas and the skies, are incredibly powerful.

But its influence is ultimately less than that of the ubiquitous and interconnected root system of the earth.

This was vividly demonstrated when the Creation Society launched a "world-class upheaval".

At that time, the Creation Society launched attacks on almost all forces on the continent simultaneously, from kingdoms to duchies, from sects to families, none were spared...

Only one country remained safe and sound.

That is the Crystal Empire, where the Crystal Beast God is in charge!

Even the territories of the Fish-Dragon Emperor and the Wings of the Sky, guarded by the Golden Totem, have been attacked by the Creation Society. Only the Crystal Rock Empire remains steadfast and unmoved.

This not only demonstrates the absolute deterrent power of the Crystal Rock Beast God, but also shows...

Even a terrifying organization like the Genesis Society, which is known for its "destruction of everything," dares not easily start a major war with the Crystal Rock Empire.

Against this backdrop, when the Alchemists' Alliance was formally established and decided to confront the Creation Society in a full-scale confrontation.

It was only natural that they would establish their headquarters in this safest and most prestigious empire.

....................................

This is a vast, empty plain.

The surrounding area was vast and flat, with not a single undulating hillside in sight, let alone hills or mountains.

It was as if the world had been flattened by a giant hand, leaving only the earth's veins surging in the vast expanse of the sky.

And right on this plain, which has no barriers and no natural defenses, lies the heart of the most powerful capital city on the entire continent, the Crystal Rock Empire!
What appeared before everyone was a huge city with a brownish-gold color. From a distance, it did not look like a cluster of buildings rising from the ground, but rather like an extension of the earth itself.

Lynn and Evelyn, who were walking at the front of the group, stopped side by side.

They gazed at the colossal structure that stood out abruptly in front of them, their eyes filled with astonishment.

That city seemed like a miracle, rising from the earth's crust.

Like an ancient horn frozen in time, it stands in the middle of the plain, its entire body gleaming with an amber luster, smooth and heavy, majestic and solemn.

What's even more astonishing is that the entire capital city sits atop this amber-colored giant peak.

Streets, buildings, towers, temples, and palaces are layered and stacked on this giant peak.

Nature and craftsmanship are intertwined seamlessly, like a city of gods, like an extraterrestrial ruin.

This scene is so extraordinary that it seems to be built by mortals, rather than a legendary divine realm!

"That peak..."

Evelyn's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly spoke, "Actually, it's the unicorn horn of the Crystal Rock Beast God."

A single horn can support the entire capital city?!
In other words, the entire capital was not built on ordinary foundations, but on the remains of a golden totem deity.

Such a colossal thing, even with just a single horn, is already so magnificent.

So how terrifying must the true Crystal Rock Beast God be in terms of its size?
"...If this unicorn is already as large as a city, then the true form of the Crystal Rock Beast God could probably span the entire Crystal Rock Empire."

Lynn muttered to himself, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He finally understood why the Creator had singled out the Crystal Rock Empire when launching a rebellion across the entire continent.

Such an existence, once awakened, would be crushed into dust in an instant, even if the entire Creator were to emerge!
"Let's go, someone has come to pick us up."

Evelyn parted her lips slightly, her gaze fixed ahead.

Unbeknownst to them, a peculiar welcoming procession had appeared ahead of them:

One after another, beasts resembling tigers and leopards, covered in yellow stripes, slowly approached, their expressions fierce and their auras calm.

On the backs of these magical beasts sat alchemists dressed in the uniforms of the Unified Alchemist Alliance, each exuding an extraordinary aura, clearly having come on orders.

Their appearance was naturally to welcome Evelyn, the leader of the Feathered Serpent Order who had achieved great merit!
Whether it was her initial report to the Alchemists' Guild regarding Karen;
The great victory achieved in the battle to wipe out the Genesis Society shocked the entire alliance.

This time, she was no longer the "successor of the Feathered Serpent Society," but a core figure who truly attracted the attention of the entire alliance's top leadership!
With the escort of this team, Lynn and Evelyn went straight into the capital of the Crystal Rock Empire.

This city, spiraling upwards along the unicorn horn of the Crystal Rock Beast God, has an extremely peculiar structure.

It is no longer a flat city in the traditional sense, but a miraculous city with a multi-layered, three-dimensional structure.

Each floor is built according to the terrain, and the higher you go, the more majestic and magnificent it becomes.

At the very top lies the core of this continent's greatest power and influence: the Imperial Palace and the headquarters of the Alchemist Alliance!

Because the evidence Evelyn brought with her was so astonishing, many Golden Thrones had already arrived before her arrival, ready to participate in the upcoming "coup meeting".

Therefore, she and Lynn received extraordinary treatment, being led directly to the golden palace on the top floor of the capital by a special person.

It was a magnificent palace entirely cast in gold!

The walls, beams, dome, and floor all shimmered with dazzling golden light, their radiance like a waterfall, making it feel as if one had stepped into the abode of a deity.

The air even carried a faint, alchemical rhythm, making each step feel like walking on the top of the world.

Within this golden temple, dazzling figures had already gathered:

The Golden Throne - King of Flames, surrounded by raging flames, stands on the heart of lava.

The Golden Throne, Fragrant Fairy, exudes a captivating fragrance, surrounded by a myriad of flowers in a dreamlike setting.

Golden Throne - Extreme Cold Ice Phoenix, frost feathers scattered in the void, cold air condensing into frost.

……

Inside the main hall, golden energy surged like a tidal wave, and a majestic divine aura swept over everyone.

These people are the pinnacle of the Alchemist Alliance, the Golden Throne!

Today, with the exception of a few border guards, almost all the golden thrones that still exist in the world have gathered here.

It is obvious that today's meeting is of a very high standard.

At the very front of the group were three figures, one of whom was Kelfan, the Fish-Dragon Emperor whom Lynn had met before.

The middle-aged man, dressed in a magnificent imperial robe, exuded a somber aura, as if the earth itself could bear the weight of all things.

It is obvious that this is the master of the Crystal Rock Beast God, the Crystal Rock Throne.

On the other side was a man dressed in a light blue robe, with a handsome and calm face; his identity was naturally obvious.

Over there stands the last of the three totems, the master of the Sky-Supporting Wings, the Sky-Supporting Throne.

In addition to the three totem thrones, there are several other golden thrones.

The group gathered there without speaking or exchanging words, as Evelyn's submitted information was already quite complete.

Everyone only needed to look at the information to understand what had happened.

Even so, the group still dragged on for a long time, after all, the judge was the successor of the Wings of the Sky.

No one wants to bring trouble upon themselves and anger Skywing.

Therefore, in order to verify the content of this information, many of the Golden Thrones even sent their trusted confidants to meet with those prisoners of the Creation Society.

Even so, almost half a day had passed.

Finally, it seems that the many Golden Thrones have made a decision, and the meeting has finally come to a conclusion.

However, Evelyn never expected this.

The moment the meeting results were passed, she and Lynn were instantly captivated by the overwhelming aura of the golden throne!
