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

"here it is……"

Lynn, Wizard Ald, and Sea Emperor Storm, who were teleported out by the Void Wanderer, almost simultaneously looked around at the scene, their brows involuntarily furrowing slightly.

At this moment, they are standing high in the sky.

The Void Wanderer's unimaginably enormous body had mostly disappeared into the energy plane, with only a very small portion remaining in reality.

That is its back, the place known as the [Bone Wasteland].

The three of them stood on this desolate and enormous spine.

Looking out, the figures of the Void Wanderers coiled among the clouds, while the Bone Wasteland slowly stretched to its edge.

Lynn and the others flew to the edge of the wilderness and looked down.

Beneath their feet lay a rolling, layered sea of ​​clouds; and directly in front of them stood a majestic mountain, equally shrouded in the clouds.

That mountain was even higher than where they were.

It stretches upwards, as if trying to pierce the sky, and its body is covered with snow all year round, a silvery white expanse.

The endless snow-capped peaks stretch along the mountain range to the horizon, seemingly without end.

Lynn stood at the edge of the Bone Wasteland, a howling wind carrying sharp, needle-like ice shards that slammed against his sorcery shield.

He looked down at the unfathomable sea of ​​clouds; looking straight ahead, he saw the imposing, snow-capped mountain.

"where is this place?"

The Sea Emperor, known as the Stormy Sea Emperor, spoke first.

As a hunter from a deep-sea civilization, he was not familiar with the geography of the land world and could not immediately determine where he was.

However, Lynn and Wizard Old exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming subtle.

Their gazes fell simultaneously on the massive mountain range stretching into the distance.

After a moment, Wizard Ald spoke slowly, his tone resolute:

"This is the Atlas Mountains."

He paused and continued:
"Located in the Southern Region, it marks the boundary between the territories of Black Wizards and White Wizards. As long as you follow this mountain range... eventually, you will reach the Mountain City."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Sea Emperor's eyes lit up slightly, revealing a hint of unexpected joy.

"Then we're quite lucky."

He had been in the wizarding world for some time and had some understanding of the situation in the Southern Region.

The Southern Region is clearly divided into two major camps: the Black Wizards and the White Wizards. The White Wizards possess four towers, while the Black Wizards control four furnaces.

When they entered the Dark Wizards' Meeting, they were still at the junction of the Abyss Forge and the Shadow Forge;
Now, after the Void Wanderer's continuous spatial teleportation, he was directly sent to the border between the Black and White Domains.

This was something that even they themselves hadn't anticipated.

However, after hearing this, Wizard Ald simply shook his head with a wry smile.

"If this had happened in the past, it might have been considered good luck."

“But now the Nightmare Rift has changed, and it has become a bandit-hunting area for the Wizard Council... If we cross the Atlas Mountains, we will almost certainly run into it.”

"Therefore, this road is probably blocked, and we can only take a longer route."

At this point, he turned his gaze to Lynn, his tone carrying a hint of teasing:

"If we're talking about good luck, it's probably the Green Forest Wizard. Your territory... isn't too far from the Atlas Mountains, is it?"

Lynn nodded slightly, without denying it.

"My temple of life is indeed not far from here."

"I was brought here by chance, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to go back and visit. I've lived in the Mountain City for almost thirty years, and it's been quite a while since I've been back."

As he spoke, he added casually:
"If you two are interested, you can also visit my Temple of Life. It's a bit remote, but it's quiet and has a few scenic spots, perfect for relaxation."

This statement was merely a polite formality.

Wizard Alder could tell what was going on, but he just smiled and remained silent.

But the Sea Emperor of Surging Waves clearly failed to grasp the nuances of the situation, instead letting out a serious sigh and revealing a hint of inner conflict.

"I have indeed gained a lot from this black wizard exchange meeting."

"If I go back to seclusion for a while, perhaps... I can try to come into contact with the power of the third rule and step into the sixth level."

He paused here, as if he had made a decision:
"However, since Wizard Qinglin has extended such a warm invitation, it seems that I might as well delay a little and go to see the Temple of Life?"

"Level 6..."

The moment the word was uttered, both Lynn and Wizard Ald felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

That was the true pinnacle of the Morning Star realm.

In the wizarding world, it is even known as the "Morning Star Extreme".

No matter where they are, whether outside or inside the Wizarding Council, such an existence is enough to dominate a region and reign supreme.

The fact that this powerful sea god from the deep-sea civilization was already standing before this threshold was truly astonishing.

Especially Wizard Alder, who immediately came to his senses and hurriedly tried to persuade him:
"Why so?"

"Rather than exploring the temple of life, your most important task right now is to break through as soon as possible."

"I suppose... that's what the Green Forest Wizard meant too?"

Lynn then realized that the Sea Emperor had misunderstood his intentions, but fortunately, Wizard Ald smoothed things over in time, and he nodded in agreement.

"exactly."

"It's never too late to travel. The doors of the temple of life are always open to you two."

Finally, the Sea King sighed with a hint of regret and bid farewell to Lynn together with Wizard Ald.

Then, the two figures walked one after the other towards the mountain city.

Since the Nightmare Rift was no longer a viable route, they had no choice but to detour and return via other paths.

As he watched the two figures disappear into the distance, Lynn's gaze sharpened slightly.

The next moment, his figure suddenly lengthened, turning into a thin and sharp gray line, as if a sharp blade was tearing the sky, and in an instant, he sped away into the distance.

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

The Kingdom of Eluria is a mortal kingdom that is entirely subordinate to Lynn.

As the "Close to Heaven" technique was fully activated, his figure transformed into a gray line that tore through the sky, instantly traversing vast territories and arriving above the capital of the Kingdom of Eluria.

High in the sky, Lynn looked down.

The streets crisscross, pedestrians throng; carriages and horses come and go, creating a bustling atmosphere. The entire capital city is prosperous yet orderly, like a finely tuned mortal machine.

If a mortal king were to witness this scene, he would surely be filled with heroic emotions.

But for a Morning Star wizard like Lynn, all of this seemed insignificant.

If it weren't for the constraints of the Wizarding Council, he could have easily turned the capital and most of the kingdom into a dead zone in an instant with just a single rule-based spell.

It's like how young children might play with ants with great interest, while adults find it utterly uninteresting.

However, even though he didn't care much about the Kingdom of Eluria itself, Lynn still chose to descend upon the capital rather than return directly to the Temple of Life.

The reason is simple: he wanted to see his "junior".

Back then, he personally helped Astrid ascend the throne and become the Queen of the Kingdom of Eluria.

He himself, as a nobleman, held an extremely lavish worldly wedding with Astrid.

In name only, their offspring will inherit the throne and continue to rule this mortal kingdom.

But all of this is just an appearance.

Lynn and Astrid's marriage was never a true union from the beginning.

Astrid was merely his wife in name only, or more accurately, a puppet carefully placed on the throne.

The offspring "born" by Astrid are not true continuations of blood, but rather products of witchcraft. Just like the Spirit-Eyed Wizard of yesteryear, who, based on forbidden witchcraft, used the body of that beautiful queen to conceive Astrid.

Even though Astrid has developed an independent consciousness and life form, she is still essentially under the control of the Spirit-Eyed Wizard.

Unfortunately, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard's plan ultimately failed.

Not only did he fail to escape, but he also dragged Astrid, who was originally intended to be a scapegoat, into the mess.

Now, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard has long since perished.

On the contrary, the "scapegoat" from back then has survived all the way to this day.

The world changes, fate is fickle, who can say for sure?

When Lynn took control of the Spirit Eye Wizard, he naturally read the wizard's memories in their entirety, including the forbidden magic used to conceive offspring.

Therefore, the true origin of the "child" born to Astrid was not bloodline, but rather something Lynn personally created based on that forbidden witchcraft.

However, it's different from what the Spirit Eye Wizard did back then.

The wizard with the piercing eye created Astrid to make her his scapegoat. This is why he was extremely restrained in his use of forbidden magic.

Fearing being identified as a clone, and also afraid of exposing herself due to causal entanglements, she deliberately granted Astrid almost absolute "freedom".

He suppressed the power of that forbidden witchcraft to an extremely low level.

For this reason, Astrid can almost be regarded as a truly independent life.

This can be seen from the fact that she was able to embark on the path of a wizard smoothly and without obvious restrictions.

Lynn's creations, however, were a completely different matter.

The Spirit-Eyed Wizard fears being identified as a clone and deliberately tries to distance himself from the situation.

Lynn, on the contrary, was eager for that "offspring" to be recognized as part of him by the rules of the world.

Therefore, he held nothing back when performing forbidden witchcraft.

From the moment of its birth, that "offspring" did not possess the free will of Astrid; it was more like a living puppet capable of temporarily moving about in the mortal world.

Lynn could completely reclaim it at any time if he wished, leaving no trace of its body, memories, or soul essence.

Now that Lynn has returned to this place, his purpose is self-evident.

"I can feel it..."

He muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the depths of the capital.

"It's right here in the royal palace."

Memories surfaced.

On the night of his wedding to Astrid, he secretly performed that forbidden witchcraft while taking her virginity.

To this day, the "offspring" conceived by that magical artifact has grown into the nominal king of the Kingdom of Eluria.

And now, it is time for this piece to complete its mission.

As for taking away the current king directly, will it cause turmoil on a secular level?
Lynn didn't care.

With him there, and with the Temple of Life there, the order of this mortal kingdom cannot be disturbed much.

Since there is no true bloodline to continue in Astrid's lineage, then we should support another one from among the other nobles.

No matter who it is, they are all just puppets placed on the throne in the temple of life.

"We've arrived at the royal palace."

Before he could finish speaking, Lynn's figure had already vanished in a flash.

The next moment, he appeared above a magnificent and luxurious complex of buildings.

The golden dome gleamed in the sunlight, and the white stone corridors crisscrossed; guards and maids moved about in perfect order. The entire building was situated in the heart of the capital, majestic and solemn.

This is the royal palace of the Kingdom of Eluria.

With a quick sense, Lynn locked onto his target.

Deep within the royal city, in the largest and most luxuriously decorated golden palace.

"They're all there...and the atmosphere seems quite interesting."

Lynn chuckled softly.

A vast surge of spiritual power swept outwards like a tidal wave. When he clearly sensed and captured several auras within the hall, the corners of his handsome lips slightly lifted, and a faint, enigmatic smile appeared in his eyes.

Inside that grand hall, there were no guards or maids in sight.

Only three figures stood silently.

Two women and one man.

One of the women was none other than the Empress, who was renowned for her beauty and held immense power in the harem.

But time has not spared the mortal body.

Even though she had received extended lifespan through witchcraft from the Spirit-Eyed Wizard, time, like a sharp carving knife, still left its mark on her face.

A few fine but clear lines had quietly crept up the corners of her eyes, but they did not diminish her charm; instead, they added a touch of maturity and composure.

She was now in her fifties, and her once fair skin was no longer as delicate as it had been, but instead possessed a ripeness that seemed ready to be picked.

Her figure is more voluptuous than when she was a girl, with fuller curves, and she still exudes an undeniable charm in every gesture.

But at this moment, she no longer possessed the composure and majesty of the former empress.

Her phoenix eyes were filled with undisguised worry, her red lips were slightly pursed, and her gaze frequently drifted to the other woman beside her.

That person was her "daughter".

Astrid, the previous queen of the Kingdom of Eluria, the bloodline successor of the Spirit-Eyed Wizard, and Lynn's nominal wife.

As a second-class witch, the years have left almost no trace on Astrid.

She is still young, with a beautiful face and a cool, elegant demeanor.

Her slender waist was so delicate it could be grasped with a single hand, and her figure was graceful and upright.
On her fair face, her purple eyes looked exceptionally firm, revealing a resolute determination that seemed almost like "going all in."

Astrid clenched her teeth, her fingertips turning slightly white, as if waiting for a moment that was already destined but could not be avoided to arrive.

As for the last person.

He is the current king of the Kingdom of Eluria.

Lynn and Astrid's "offspring".

Jess Cole.

The name comes from Lynn, not from Astrid's royal surname.

He was dressed in a king's robe, tall and slender, with a handsome face, and bore a slight resemblance to Lynn.

That similarity stems from their essential nature, not from a coincidence of bloodline.

He understood perfectly why his mother and grandmother were so tense at that moment.

Astrid has told him everything.

The "father" whom I have never met and who has left no trace in my memory is about to arrive.

What he had to do was take everything away from himself.

However, Jess felt no fear.

There was only one suppressed, almost burning will.

He is the king.

He is the ruler of a country.

Even if fate had already written the ending, he couldn't just kneel down and wait to die.

Jess slowly raised his head, his gaze resolute, a deep voice echoing in his heart:
"Hmph! Father, is it... I'll see..."

At that very moment, a vast and terrifying spiritual force suddenly descended! (End of Chapter)
