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

Chapter 274 A Bright Future Ahead, But a Deadly Intent in the Parliament

Chapter 274

There is an indescribable intimate connection between the World Tree of Dimension 001 and Lynn's extraordinary plant, Ifgrid.

Their auras share the same origin and their rhythms are in harmony, as if they were beings from the same race, or even the same bloodline.

This discovery thrilled Lynn.

If the World Tree and Ivgrid are of the same species and culture, then all the methods, fusion techniques, and guiding rules used by nature wizards in the past regarding the cultivation of extraordinary plants...

In theory, all of these can be seamlessly applied to the World Tree!
This means that Lynn can not only cultivate the World Tree as a nature wizard.

It's even possible that this level-four opportunity, which originally belonged to the 001 dimension, could be completely incorporated into its own rule system!

What an amazing creation!

Upon realizing this, Lynn felt both ecstatic and subtly awe-inspiring.

"From the fall of a whale, all things come to life..."

"I have no way of knowing just how powerful this Goddess of Nature is... but her fall has undoubtedly had a profound impact on the entire endless world of planes."

He once thought that the divine body of Chang Tiya after her death was only obtained by the wizarding world, thus giving rise to the school of natural wizards.

However, the reality is now far greater than he imagined.

During this interdimensional expedition, Lynn once again captured the lingering echoes of Shang Tiya's rules in another dimension, in World 001.

This shows that her death had already cast an unfathomable ripple across countless dimensions.

Chang Tiya did not only shape the origin of nature wizards; her "afterglow" continues to illuminate countless corners, either nurturing new species or nourishing unknown laws...

In future interdimensional expeditions, Lynn will likely encounter the "miracles" left behind by Shangtiya again and again.

Shaking his head, Lynn suppressed the surging thoughts in his mind and turned his gaze back to the two trees in front of him.

He spoke slowly, his voice deep and resonant:
“Ivgrid, derived from slang… means ‘world tree’…”

"To be precise, it is the 'trunk of the World Tree'."

This is an echo of naming, a remnant of an ancient race's belief in nature.

Lynn's gaze slowly shifted between the two trees:

One tree reaches for the sky and is bathed in moonlight; another is crystal clear, with branches and leaves as green as jade, like a work of art formed from the essence of life.

The World Tree from Dimension 001 is not merely some kind of "crystallization of rules" or "node of the world's will".

In essence, it is also an extraordinary plant.

A supernatural plant that can be absorbed, tamed, and even devoured by a nature wizard.

"My chances of breaking through to the Morning Star Wizard level are not yet 100%... but my mastery of Morning Star level techniques is a foregone conclusion!"

At this moment, Lynn was absolutely certain, his expression calm and resolute.

The reason he couldn't be certain that he would reach the level of a Morning Star Wizard was because even with this level four World Tree as his possession.

He still needs to put in more effort and preparation to truly cross that threshold that determines life and death.

Once you enter the morning star, there is no turning back.

This is just like the transformation faced by those who "become gods" in the civilization of gods.

That was a true qualitative change, not just a simple accumulation of power.

But the reason Lynn could claim without hesitation that he had the "Morning Star method" was completely different.

This involves the natural wizard system, a system of laws completely different from that of traditional wizards.

He has many plans for utilizing this level four World Tree.

The most direct, brutal, and unpretentious way is:

He devoured and refined it, making it replace Ifgrid and become his new "supernatural plant".

According to the rules of the natural wizarding system, a wizard has two crucial choices in his/her life regarding "extraordinary plants".

Although Lynn has now reached the pinnacle of a Level 3 Archmage, the second "fusion opportunity" that will determine his future fate has not yet come to an end.

He still has the opportunity to replace the extraordinary plant.

Therefore, if Lynn decides at this moment to abandon Ifgrid and instead refine the World Tree and incorporate it into his own system.

Therefore, given his fourth-level nature, he could indeed use the World Tree to "borrow" some of the power from the rules level, thereby gaining control over some of the mysteries of the Morning Star level.

For example, modifying the rules.

It influences the rules. It can even guide the evolution of the rules.

This is a dimension that only level four life forms are qualified to touch.

But Lynn quickly rejected the proposal.

Because although it is feasible, it is extremely foolish.

After all, the true core method of a nature wizard is not "replacement," but devouring!

That's right.

Among nature wizards, there exists a highly secretive "supernatural plant devouring chain".

It's not that the wizards themselves devour each other, but rather that the extraordinary plants contracted by the wizards can devour, merge, suppress, and evolve each other!
Lynn had briefly noticed this in the classics.

However, because he had lived in an area with few nature wizards for a long time, he had never truly witnessed the horror of this "devouring competition".

However, in areas where nature wizards are more concentrated, such "plant battles" are almost the norm.

When the plants of the weak are devoured, the wizard's soul becomes unbalanced and disintegrates, and his cultivation is completely destroyed.
When a powerful plant devours another, it not only absorbs the plant's growth potential, but may even increase its own rank by accumulating power over time.

The reason why "supernatural plants can devour each other" exists.

Lynn guessed that all of this was probably related to the supreme deity of nature and life, Sangtiya.

After all, this path of cultivation for nature wizards originated from her remains and the remnants of her divine essence.

The system of extraordinary plants also originated from her divine remnants.

Lynn even vaguely considered a bold and almost blasphemous conjecture:

If all the extraordinary plants, after countless years, eventually devour each other and merge into a single, final form of "plant"...

Does this mean that Chang Tiya might be "reborn" in some indescribable form?
This conjecture is clearly not something Lynn alone holds.

In fact, many years ago, the Wizarding Council had already quietly issued a similar warning.

It is important to understand that the position of a chief god is equivalent to that of the Radiant Moon in the wizarding system. Such a being is a supreme life form capable of rewriting the rules of a plane and interfering with the will of the world.

If the "echoes of death" of such a powerful being could truly be "revived" through the natural wizarding system, it would be nothing short of an invisible cataclysmic crisis for the entire wizarding world.

For this reason, the Wizarding Council had already secretly issued restrictions on the natural wizarding community:

Large-scale "natural wizard's devouring rituals" are strictly prohibited.

Since the implementation of this order, although the mutual annexation and bloody competition among nature wizards have not been completely eliminated, their scale and frequency have been greatly reduced.

This is a blockade and suppression from the systemic level, and also a necessary precaution against the possible truth behind the death of Chang Tiya.

But these distant and lofty questions still seemed too far off for Lynn at the moment. His only focus now was to find a way to reach the fourth-level Morning Star Wizard realm!

Therefore, Lynn slowly raised his eyes and looked at the two giant trees hanging under the moonlight, their branches and leaves spreading out.

One is a level-four opportunity from another world: the World Tree;
One is the extraordinary plant, Yvegrid, who has been with him for many years and whose soul has long been intertwined with his.

If we can make good use of the commonalities between these two extraordinary plants.

With the aid of natural wizarding secrets such as devouring, resonance, and reconstruction, he could obviously greatly accelerate his progress towards becoming a Morning Star.

"If Ifegrid could successfully devour the World Tree... what kind of being would he ultimately become?"

Lynn gently licked the corner of her lips, a barely suppressed burning desire and longing appearing in her eyes.

He knew clearly in his heart, based on his long-term observation and analysis of the World Tree.

The fourth level of opportunity for this World Tree has not yet fully blossomed; it still has one last stage of evolution before it reaches true "divine maturity."

"Alright, no rush."

Lynn's heart was deep, his thoughts flowing like a surging galaxy.

“Take it slow… Wait until Ifgrid’s potential is fully unleashed and the World Tree has fully blossomed before choosing an opportune moment to begin the fusion and absorption. That would be the optimal solution.”

He was confident in his judgment.

Back during that interdimensional expedition, because he was stationed in an alternate dimension where time flowed extremely fast, Ifgrid slept there for a full five thousand years!
This evolution over five thousand years has not only brought about a qualitative change for Yvgrid, breaking through from the original three-level upper limit to a completely new level of "three and a half levels".

More importantly, it has the potential to challenge even higher rules.

Now, it will merge with the World Tree, which represents a level four opportunity.

Lynn had a vague feeling that his extraordinary plant might be about to undergo an unprecedented evolution.

That will not only be a breakthrough in power, but also a leap in the form of life!

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

The expedition to the 001 dimension finally came to a perfect end.

After the expedition ended, Lynn quickly assigned his forces to carry out large-scale development and resource recovery in that plane.

Various unprecedented special minerals, rare magical plants, and extraterrestrial energy materials were continuously transported back to the wizarding world.

The Life Temple then systematically transformed and sold these resources, ultimately acquiring an astonishing amount of extraordinary resources.

This single battle increased the total resources in the Treasury of Life by more than one-third!

This is precisely why the "Plane Expedition" has always held an irresistible attraction for Morningstar wizards.

In addition to acquiring a wealth of extraordinary knowledge and elevating one's spiritual level and understanding of rules.

The sheer material rewards are enough to make countless wizards flock to it.

After all, compared to doing research and trading peacefully, what is more efficient and direct than plundering the whole world?
"Doing business is about making money slowly, but stealing things is about making money quickly."

Of course, Lynn did not personally handle the specific coordination and allocation of affairs after the expedition.

His most trusted personal maid and agent, Beverly, was in charge of this matter.

Lynn himself continued his seclusion, preparing for that fateful breakthrough and stepping into the true fourth tier, the Morning Star Wizard.

However, just as he made the decision to wait until Ifgrid and the World Tree reached their "perfect state" before beginning the fusion and devouring process.

An urgent message from the outside world interrupted his cultivation rhythm, forcing him to leave seclusion ahead of schedule.

The Wizarding World, the Temple of Life, Lynn's Wizarding Tower, the Secret Chamber at the Top Floor.

At this moment, Lynn had just finished his extremely long period of secluded cultivation, changed into a clean and neat wizard's robe with natural patterns, and sat upright on the top floor of the tower.

Before him was an ancient parchment, half of which had already gone out, burning.

The writing on the parchment wriggled like ghostly scribbles, and as the flames burned out, a wisp of blue smoke rose up.

The wisp of smoke quickly transformed into a tall, imposing phantom of a wizard dressed in black robes.

It was Lynn's "neighbor," the Nightshade Wizard, who was also the master of the Nightshade Forge.

"Green Forest Wizard, it's been a long time! Hahaha..."

The Nightshade Wizard smiled broadly and greeted everyone from afar, as if they were old friends reuniting.

This parchment served as a special means of communication between the two parties, allowing for two separate calls.

The first time was when Lynn took the initiative to contact him during a past transaction;
Now, quite some time has passed since the last time, and the other party has finally used the contact permission a second time.

Although this contact disrupted his seclusion and forced Lynn to abandon his preparations for the Morning Star Wizard breakthrough, he did not show the slightest displeasure.

After all, you can't hit someone who's smiling.

Moreover, the other party had a special status and a rather mild attitude.

Lynn nodded in response with a faint smile, his tone calm and collected:

"Nightshade Wizard, it's been a long time. May I ask what brings you here?"

He had a vague sense that the Nightshade Wizard's initiative to contact him was not merely for catching up and exchanging pleasantries.

The fact that the ruler of the Nightshade Forge could personally appear must indicate something of great importance.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the first words spoken by the Nightshade Wizard still made Lynn pause slightly, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Wizard Qinglin, contacting you this time is no small matter... This matter involves multiple forces, including the Wizarding Council, the Nightmare Rift Valley, and the Meteor Council..."

The Nightshade Wizard launched into a long list of names, as if reciting a menu, throwing out a multitude of renowned powers, each name enough to stir up a storm in the southern part of the wizarding world.

Lynn raised an eyebrow, a sudden ripple of emotion stirring within her.

Because these forces were not entirely unrelated to him; in fact, many of them had long-standing, open or covert, feuds and vendettas with him.

Now, these seemingly unrelated, even opposing, forces are all included in the same event...

This in itself reveals something unusual.

The Nightshade Wizard clearly noticed the change in Lynn's expression, and his playful and frivolous tone vanished, replaced by a deep and solemn voice:
"This message was personally ordered by the Wizarding Council, and I was responsible for notifying several Morning Star wizards in the vicinity who possess special operational capabilities."

He briefly explained his identity as a "messenger" this time, stating that it was not a private liaison mission, but rather an official liaison task entrusted by the Wizarding Council.

Hearing this, alarm bells rang even higher in Lynn's mind.

The fact that the Wizarding Council personally intervened to coordinate, rather than sending a message through an ordinary messenger, means that...

This is not just a major event, it's a major earthquake!

As expected, the Nightshade Wizard changed his tone and slowly revealed the core of the operation:
"This operation is spearheaded by the Wizarding Council, with assistance from Nightmare Rift, and also involves us, the free Morning Star wizards from the border region between dark and white wizards. There is only one objective..."

"Take action against the Meteor Council and wipe them out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire secret room seemed to fall into a brief, deathly silence.

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the seat, and his fingertips tightened slightly for a moment.

The Meteorite Council, wiped out in one fell swoop?
If the Wizarding Council were to actually do that, it would create a huge uproar in the southern region...
