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

A dazzling rainbow bridge extends from the majestic cliffs of the mountain city, its body seemingly woven from countless flowing threads of light, each step creating faint ripples of rainbow light.

The other end of the bridge disappeared into a dreamlike vortex of light, as if leading to a completely different universe.

Lynn, the Whiteheart Tower Master, and the Nightshade Wizard walked side by side, climbing up the towering peak layer by layer.

Along the way, they witnessed countless strange creatures from another world.

Based on Lynn's knowledge from his previous life, these beings could certainly be called "aliens".

These civilizations, capable of building rainbow bridges with the mountain cities, are all intermediate planes that maintain friendly relations with the wizarding world.

That's why those rainbow bridges are not one-way roads, but two-way roads.

Powerful beings from other civilizations can come via the bridge, and wizards from the Wizarding World can also step onto those other dimensions along the bridge of light.

However, at this moment, Lynn and his two companions were on their way to the upcoming Morning Star Wizard Conference, and could only observe briefly as they traveled, occasionally stopping to exchange a few words with the visitors from the other civilization.

Truly venturing into those fantastical worlds is obviously unrealistic.

Those who can personally cross over from intermediate civilization planes are almost all people of illustrious status, possessing at least the strength of a level four being.

Those who lack the strength are mostly followers of their elders or disciples of a powerful force.

Therefore, any outsider who can appear here is by no means ordinary, regardless of their status or qualities.

Rainbow bridges, like giant nets of flowing light, encircle the towering peaks; with each level ascended, new wonders unfold before your eyes:
They saw the Crystal Clan, with transparent crystalline scales and slender bodies, as if pure light flowed through their blood;
Encountering the Feathered Spirits, who are covered in wings and surrounded by starlight, is like encountering a holy envoy from mythology who has fallen to earth.

They even saw a group of seemingly docile giants, who came from a plane with extremely high gravity. Their bodies were as large as mountains, yet they walked lightly and silently on the rainbow bridge.

When Lynn interacted with these "alien civilizations," he was filled with both novelty and a slight sense of awe.

Although these civilizations are not as glorious as the Wizarding World, they each have their own unique foundation and achievements, enough to nurture powerful beings of the Radiant Moon or even higher levels.

And so they climbed all the way up until they reached the upper part of the mountain city.

Here, the rainbow bridge finally comes to an end.

There are no longer any open portals here, nor any bustling visitors from other worlds.

This is because it is the heart of the Southern Wizarding Council in the Wizarding World, a hub where countless secrets and powers converge.

Although half of the mountain city is open to the public, with bustling streets and a constant flow of merchants and travelers, the other half remains as closed as an iron barrel.

The Upper City was majestic and solemn, with an air of restrictions and oppressive power.

The massive high walls were inlaid with flowing runes, like silent eyes watching over everyone who approached.

The rules here are extremely strict: only members of the Wizarding Council, the guards, and a few other specially authorized individuals are allowed to enter.

Even if a councilor personally leads a group, the entourage can only wait in the lower city and cannot step into this sacred area.

Theoretically speaking, Lynn should have stopped here at this point.

After all, given his current status, he is only a Morning Star Wizard who has just entered the fourth level, and he is still one step away from obtaining his own seat in the Wizarding Council.

To make matters worse, this happened at a time when the Wizarding Council was holding a general meeting of its members.

The security in the upper part of the mountain city is extremely tight.

At the end of the stone steps leading to the upper city, a shimmering silver magical barrier stands like an invisible wall, separating the two worlds.

There are no guards there, nor is there any need for them.

The array's radiance flowed silently, and strands of silver runes, like flowing water, gently pattered in the air, cold and arrogant.

Those who meet the criteria will be accepted; those who do not will be excluded, no matter how powerful they are.

Meanwhile, the wizards who were originally stationed in the lower city and responsible for verifying the identities of councilors have all been promoted to the upper city to attend the councilor meeting.

Lynn and his two companions had come all the way from the foot of the mountain, and had no chance to reissue his travel permit.

Now, there is only one way to enter the upper city: hire a law enforcement wizard to escort you.

The Tower Master of White Heart and the Nightshade Wizard exchanged a glance, then shrugged with a wry smile:

"Qinglin Wizard, we two must go ahead. We need to find an enforcement wizard to introduce you."

Lynn nodded helplessly, and could only watch the two Morning Star wizards disappear on the other side of the barrier.

The array's light rippled slightly, and the two figures blurred instantly before disappearing completely.

The entrance to the Upper City area was completely silent.

Occasionally, a few wizards in robes would pass by, but they would all be swept by the radiance within the array, their identities verified, and then disappear silently.

Lynn stood there quietly, the wind blowing down from the towering steps, sweeping across his wide wizard robes, carrying a chilling aura of magical energy.

That aura was like an icy blade, making people involuntarily straighten their backs.

Time passed slowly, and less than ten minutes later, footsteps came from the lower city.

Lynn looked up and was surprised to see two familiar figures slowly walking up the steps.

The two people, one in front of the other, had completely different auras.

Wearing an obsidian badge symbolizing law enforcement authority, with a chilling and menacing aura, was none other than Ald, the law enforcement wizard of the Wizarding Council.
The other was wearing a robe unique to Forgestone, and was none other than Grimm, a Morning Star wizard from Forgestone.

Lynn was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise rising in her heart, before raising her hand in greeting with a faint smile.

“Wizard Green, Wizard Old… it’s been a long time.”

As he spoke, his aura subtly dissipated.

Starlight-like energy rose from his body, instantly creating ripples in the air.

That was the aura of the Morning Star Wizard—calm, powerful, and subtly sharp.

The two people in front of him, one had a grudge against Lynn, and the other had cooperated and interacted with him.

However, Lynn had no intention of playing the "pretending to be weak to eat the strong" card, nor did she intend to pretend to be low-key.

He simply raised his chin, smiled slightly, and let his aura spread out like a tide, revealing the imposing aura of the Morning Star Wizard without reservation.

The air suddenly became heavy, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down, making one's heart tighten.

As expected, the two "old acquaintances" froze almost simultaneously the moment they sensed this power, their shock impossible to conceal.

The law enforcement wizard Ald recognized Lynn the moment he saw him; he was the guy who had caused him great trouble in the [Landscape].

At that time, Lynn was just an insignificant nobody, which made him secretly resentful for a long time.

He had sent people to search for him countless times, but he could never find him.

I never expected Lynn to show up here on his own initiative, and... and he's already a Morning Star Wizard?!

This discovery sent a shockwave through Alder's heart, instantly extinguishing the resentment and bitterness in his heart.

The insignificant person who could be crushed with a single finger in the past has now become someone who stands on equal footing with him.

This disparity even gave Ald a slightly absurd feeling.

On the other hand, the wizard Grimm from the Forgestone reacted more "purely," his eyes filled with nothing but naked shock and disbelief.

Green still remembered decades ago when Lynn, under orders from a Morning Star wizard, went to the Forgestone to see his teacher, Hercules. At the time, Lynn was only a level three archmage and his life hung by a thread.

He and the Morning Star Wizard behind him were like a lone boat tossed about in a storm, forced to exchange rare resources for his teacher's protection.

However, those few short years were but a fleeting moment for a wizard.

That once almost overlooked minor character has grown into a brand new Morning Star Wizard!

"No, it couldn't have been trained by that Morning Star Wizard."

Green was secretly shocked, and even felt a sense of disbelief.

A level 4 Morning Star Wizard personally nurtured an existence of the same level? That's simply a fantasy.

The person in front of me probably relied entirely on his talent, perseverance, and luck to carve out a bloody path and reach the peak of level four.

Lynn looked at the undisguised shock in their eyes and felt a little helpless.

He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, revealing a faint smile.

He disliked hiding his talents and disdained feigning mystery. Since he had met an "old acquaintance," he simply showed himself openly.

However, this choice often results in the almost horrified looks of others.

Fortunately, they are both morning stars.

After a brief moment of astonishment, their eyes quickly regained their composure, and the true aura of strength returned to their demeanor.

Wizard Green spoke first, his voice gentle and tinged with amusement:

"Congratulations to Wizard Qinglin on your successful breakthrough! My teacher was quite satisfied with the items you sent earlier and has mentioned you to me several times."

Green's attitude was sincere and genuine, with a hint of appreciation and goodwill in his eyes.

Lynn smiled slightly, her tone humble yet composed:

"Not at all, it is my honor to serve Lord Hercules."

His voice was calm and confident, and the sharpness between his brows was not deliberately concealed, yet he did not appear aggressive.

After all, Green was not only a Morning Star wizard, but also one of the few disciples of the Forgestone who had direct apprenticeship with Hercules.

As for Hercules himself, he is now the apparent protector of the Temple of Life, a figure who stands in the southern region of the Wizarding World and is feared by countless forces.

Lynn naturally wouldn't neglect Green.

Lynn and Green's relationship wasn't bad to begin with.

In their previous collaboration, Green helped Lynn introduce him to his teacher, Hercules, which facilitated the deal.

Green believed that his coach was quite satisfied with that trade.

Because of his affection for the man, Green, who facilitated the deal, received a considerable reward from his teacher, Hercules.

Therefore, after a long separation, Lynn and Green chatted and laughed, as if they were old friends reuniting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

On the other side, the wizard Ald remained silent, his gaze deep and unfathomable. The cold glint and killing intent in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by complex and unpredictable thoughts.

He listened quietly to their conversation, his doubts and surprise growing stronger.

"Lynn has a relationship with Green's teacher?!"

The thought suddenly exploded in my mind.

Grimm's teacher is Hercules, the most revered Morning Star wizard within the Forgestone!
That person is hailed as the most powerful expert who is closest to the "Radiant Moon" level, and is expected to step into the realm of the Crown in the future!
Ald was startled, and his breathing unconsciously became lighter.

There was a time when he regarded Lynn as a nobody he could crush at will.

At that time, Lynn was not even a Morning Star Wizard, yet he dared to make him lose face in the "landscape," making him vow to kill him with his own hands.

But now, Lynn before him is a being of the same rank as the Morning Star.

What's worse, the other party is also involved with Hercules, a powerful figure whom even he dares not easily offend!

Humiliation once made him want to kill to silence witnesses; but once the gap in status and power was leveled, mere humiliation was no longer enough to forge a deadly feud.

At the same time, a shadow passed through Ald's heart as he recalled the secret operation he had received from Aquila when he had previously joined forces with Sirius.

Although the "Green Forest Wizard" who had once humiliated him was not present in that plan, the figures of two Morning Star powerhouses, Green Wizard and Spirit Eye Wizard, did appear.

Moreover, thanks to his years of accumulated intelligence, Ald had already realized that there seemed to be some connection between the Spirit Eye Wizard and the Green Forest Wizard.

Perhaps the figure of this Green Forest Wizard was also present in that operation decades ago, only he hid himself...

Clues quickly connected in my mind:
This seemingly unfounded Qinglin Wizard, who has just broken through to the Morning Star level, actually possesses a surprisingly powerful background.

With a towering figure like Hercules as his backing, and two fellow Morning Stars, Grimm and Spirit Eyes, as his peers...

Such a person, even if they have just broken through, is by no means an ordinary character.

Thinking of this, Ald's hostility completely dissipated.

He knew perfectly well that if he continued to harass and seek revenge at this level, it would not only be useless, but would also push him into an abyss of no return.

However, even though his murderous intent had vanished, he clearly couldn't be as warm and friendly as Green, engaging in lively conversation and laughter.

Old simply raised his hand slightly, his expression indifferent and restrained, his voice low:

"Long time no see, Green Forest Wizard."

At this moment, Wizard Green's gaze fell on Lynn, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.

The Green Forest Wizard before them was already at the Morning Star level, yet he remained at the entrance to the Upper City, seemingly blocked outside.

Green's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized:
"Green Forest Wizard, is it because your identity information hasn't been updated yet that you haven't been able to enter the Upper City? You are now a Morning Star Wizard, you should automatically attend council meetings and become a member!"

"But now that meeting is about to start, there probably aren't any council wizards in the lower city who can help you change your identity information..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Olde beside him and gave him a meaningful smile:
“Perfect timing. Wizard Ald is an enforcement wizard; just have him take you in. That meeting is about to start, and we'll be late if we delay any longer.”

Green's words were like a muffled thunderclap, exploding in Ald's ears.

Olde's face instantly darkened, and a complex feeling welled up in his heart.

The little guy he had once humiliated had not only transformed into the Morning Star Wizard, but he also wanted him to personally guide him into the Upper City.

This was an extremely humiliating scene for Old.

Unfortunately, as Green said, the meeting was imminent.

As a member of the law enforcement wizards, if he deliberately makes things difficult at this moment, and things escalate, the consequences will only be detrimental to him.

With this thought in mind, he could only swallow his pent-up anger, his face as dark as a storm cloud, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Green Forest Wizard, please come with me..."

Hearing this, Lynn was naturally delighted, but what he cared about more was that meeting...

Clearly, compared to the Whiteheart Tower Master and the Nightshade Wizard, both fourth-level Morning Star Wizards, Green's teacher was Hercules, a sixth-level Morning Star Wizard.

Therefore, Green obviously knows more.

So he asked directly:
"Wizard Green, about that meeting..." (End of Chapter)
