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

He casually gave Beverly something to do to keep her from bothering him any longer. Watching her wiggle her little bottom as she left, Lynn shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Given his current status and power, in this temple of life, perhaps only Beverly would dare to joke with him like this.

Apart from the head maid, even the three great wizards, including Helen, who were in charge of the Temple of Life, held their breath and dared not even breathe loudly when they saw him.

Lynn stroked his chin, his thoughts drifting into the depths of the Azure Sky Spirit.

His teacher Rosalind and his senior brother Colin are also sealed there.

If one day he takes the two of them out of the Azure Sky Spirit, what kind of expression will they show when they see that they have already stepped into the ranks of the Morning Star Wizards?
Perhaps, like the great wizard Helen, they will treat me with utmost respect...

"It's lonely at the top..."

Lynn sighed softly.

From a frail wizard apprentice to the Morning Star Wizard who now conquers the heavens.

Along the way, he has seen too many landscapes that ordinary people cannot imagine, and heard too many secrets that only exist in legends.

Even though Beverly is the only one left by his side who still retains some "humanity" and can joke and laugh with him at will, he does not feel any regret.

The vision at the Morning Star level is already so vast: endless heavens, multiple planes, energy factors, the origin of rules...

If we were to go a step further and step into the radiant moon, or even the higher level of the blazing sun, what a magnificent and wondrous sight that would be!

Suppressing these chaotic thoughts, Lynn raised his index finger, and a dazzling cyan-green light appeared on it, which was the power of the Azure Sky Spirit.

"Speaking of which, besides the teacher and senior brother, there's also that guy Maple Tree in the Azure Sky Spirits..."

"I don't know how he is doing or when he will fully recover."

Lynn was thoughtful.

"Perhaps I should also find a way to recharge the Azure Sky Spirit. The more abundant the life force within the Azure Sky Spirit, the shorter the time it will take for the maple tree to awaken."

His memory returned to that interdimensional expedition.

The image of Qi leading the Faith Temple of the Goddess of the Demonic Net, extracting all the accumulated faith power within to nourish the Spirit of the Azure Sky, remains as clear as yesterday.

"Perfect timing, Jess has also 'matured'."

"Once Tina and the others arrive, we can go to that plane that even the Spirit Eye Wizard couldn't completely conquer."

"Taking over that plane will not only allow us to obtain its essence and complete our deal with Tina, but we can also try to have Jess build a faith there to continuously power the Spirit of the Azure Sky..."

Lynn quickly sorted out his next steps in his mind.

All that's left to do now is wait.

It is worth mentioning that he received a message from Tina shortly after returning to the temple of life.

The other party has successfully left the Dark Wizards' Exchange Meeting and did not die in the third phase of the free trade.

At this moment, Tina is heading towards the Kingdom of Eluria, where the Temple of Life is located.

"It will take at least a few days, and at most a month, for Tina and Hedley to arrive..."

"Therefore, it's best not to take this moss for now."

Lynn's thoughts shifted, and his gaze fell on the crystal ball in his palm.

Within the transparent crystal, a clump of moss the size of a palm is preserved.

It is completely different from ordinary moss, with colorful patterns, like paint splashed randomly, and inside it surges chaotic and hard-to-discern regular fluctuations.

Judging from its appearance alone, it is impossible to determine what kind of power of rules it contains; the result will only be revealed after it is actually consumed.

However, the cost is equally uncontrollable.

While taking it may grant one a chance to receive the blessing of some kind of rule power, it will inevitably come with losses.

At best, mental strength will be weakened, which can be compensated for by meditating for a few days; at worst, memory will be lost; in the worst case, even the existing understanding of the rules will be lost.

"It's like opening a blind box."

Lynn shook his head, his tone tinged with self-deprecation.

"Good luck might cause some emotional distress; average luck might lead to some memory loss; bad luck... that's a real huge loss."

"With the interdimensional expedition imminent, I must maintain my peak condition; there's no need to take risks at this time."

"It's not too late to study it slowly after the expedition is over."

Back then, he had exchanged dozens of moss crystal balls with that Morning Star Wizard, giving him far more room for research and experimentation than he does now.

Having made up his mind, Lynn stored the crystal ball in his storage space.

The next moment, the immense spiritual power within his mental domain, as vast as a mountain, slowly surged out of his body, extending towards the top of the wizard tower along its structure.

The wizard tower of the Morning Star Wizard inherently possesses the characteristic of amplifying mental power.

Moreover, the more formal wizards gather around the tower and the longer they stay, the more significant this increase becomes.

The Temple of Life has long been established in the Kingdom of Eluria, and the number of its official wizards has now exceeded two hundred and continues to grow, showing a trend of recreating the glory days of the Spirit Eye Forge.

In such an environment, the increase in mental strength that Lynn could obtain was equally astonishing.

A rough estimate suggests that it could at least double!
Within the Hall of Life, his combat strength can almost be considered the true pinnacle.

He was not afraid of a late-stage level four Morning Star Wizard to begin with. If he were near the Wizard Tower, he might not be unable to deal with even a level five Morning Star Wizard in the early stage.

At this moment, Lynn released his mental energy for only two things.

First, inform all the Level 3 Archmages in the Temple of Life that the Plane Expedition is about to begin, and ask them to make all preparations in advance.

Secondly, he could use the amplification provided by the Wizard Tower to channel his spiritual power into the star gate at the top of the tower that connects all the heavens and the myriad worlds.

His spiritual power traversed the stargate and descended upon the 001st dimension world, which he had already conquered and ruled.

An invisible will quietly spread, and the people there should begin to prepare.

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

Lynn's temple of life unfolds layer by layer from the inside out, with distinct levels.

The most central location, of course, is his wizard tower.

That place is the central hub of the entire Temple of Life, the convergence point of magical formations, the node where the rules operate, and also Lynn's true residence.

From a distance, the Wizard Tower appears seamless, without any visible seams or joints, like a black thorn growing from the depths of the earth.

The tower is extremely slender and elongated, piercing straight into the clouds, carrying an almost sharp sense of oppression, as if it wants to cut the sky apart.

There are no windows in the conventional sense on the tower.

Instead, there are regular, dark blue patterns that flow slowly through the black tower walls, like blood vessels in a living organism.

The patterns flicker and undulate, like breathing.

If you get close enough, you can even faintly hear a low, rhythmic rumble coming from inside the tower, like the echo of thunder, or the heartbeat of some enormous life.

Centered on the Black Tower, the Temple of Life extends outward in a ring shape.

The closer to the tower, the higher the symbolic status.

The innermost part is an inner ring built right next to the Wizard's Tower.

Several hemispherical "living stone halls" are scattered here, surrounding the Black Tower like satellites.

These buildings are not made of bricks and tiles, but are naturally stacked and shaped from a gray-black mineral with self-healing capabilities.

The wall surface is slightly rough, yet it exudes a calm and dignified aura.

A large number of dark green vines climbed on the outer walls of the hall.

These are not wild weeds, but rather improved "magic-eating vines" that can continuously absorb free energy factors from the air, keeping this area in a state most suitable for meditation and spellcasting.

The inner ring area primarily undertakes the core functions of the temple of life:

Most teaching facilities, official institutions, libraries, laboratories, and testing rooms are located here.

Further out is Central.

The terrain gradually flattens and opens up here, and the entire area is paved with huge bluestones, forming a wide and well-organized square. Around the square, there are simply designed stone pillars, with softly glowing fluorescent stones inlaid on the tops, providing stable and gentle lighting for the entire area.

Along the edge of the square are rows of low but exceptionally sturdy stone houses, and other buildings scattered further away.

This place is not only a habitat for raising and roaming magical beasts, but also an important area for cultivating extraordinary plants, constructing magical items, and processing special ores.

The outermost part is the outer ring.

The architectural style here is noticeably closer to nature.

It has both recreational and entertainment facilities as well as a large residential area, where all the wizards and apprentices except Lynn live.

The small buildings, constructed of wood and stone, are scattered throughout the landscape, extending naturally along the terrain.

Perhaps due to Beverly's aesthetic sense, these buildings borrowed some elements from the Elven style in their design.

The window frames are mostly made of ancient wood that has grown in a twisted and twisted manner, with soft and smooth lines that subtly exude a warm and vigorous life force.

This day was not a special day.

The temple of life continues to operate steadily and orderly, just as always.

Viewed from above, the entire sphere of influence resembles a finely tuned instrument operating at a low hum.

Centered around the tall, dark wizard tower, the layers of the structure interlocked, each fulfilling its function without the slightest disorder.

The atmosphere is most solemn within the inner ring.

In the teaching hall, groups of apprentices carrying heavy books moved through the corridors, their steps hurried but not chaotic.

Inside the library, apprentices and wizards silently turned the pages of scrolls, the only sound being the subtle, restrained rustling of their fingertips as they brushed against the parchment.

The stone doors to the laboratory and testing room were tightly closed, with occasional tremors from the operation of the array and a faint, bitter smell of medicine in the air.

Compared to the tranquility of the inner ring, the central ring appears vibrant and full of energy.

The areas here are clearly demarcated.

Beside the enormous animal pen, the beast tamer was patiently grooming the stiff feathers on the backs of the magical beasts, using his spiritual power to soothe these violent creatures.
Inside the processing plant not far away, the sounds of hammering rose and fell as wizards and apprentices skillfully peeled away the impurities from the outer layer of the ore.

In the experimental field further away, the potion wizard bent over, holding a specially made bone knife, carefully digging up the newly matured extraordinary plants that still carried the fragrance of the soil.

Upon reaching the outermost ring, the invisible magical pressure finally subsided considerably.

Small buildings made of wood and stone are scattered throughout the area.

Some wizards and apprentices who had just finished their missions or were on vacation sat in twos and threes on wooden chairs under the shade of the trees.

They either held steaming hot drinks and chatted quietly, or closed their eyes to rest, enjoying the rare tranquility of the afternoon.

However, no matter which ring area you are in, as long as you look up, you can see that black spike that pierces the sky.

The dark blue patterns on the wizard tower pulsed like breathing, and a deep, rhythmic "heartbeat" faintly echoed in everyone's ears.

Everyone knows that within this vast territory, all prosperity and stability depend on the will of the ruler at the top of the tower.

Right now!

At the very heart of the Temple of Life, the towering wizard's tower suddenly flashed with brilliant light!

The moment the light shone, the atmosphere of the entire Temple of Life changed abruptly.

Whether it's an apprentice in the inner classroom, a reader in the library, or a wizard in the laboratory;
Or perhaps it's people cultivating magical plants, processing ores, or even just resting in the Central or Outer Ring areas...

Almost simultaneously, everyone widened their eyes and looked at the pitch-black wizard tower that pierced the clouds.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

As Lynn's thoughts stirred, the entire temple of life seemed to be moved by an invisible hand.

Hundreds of full-fledged wizards and tens of thousands of apprentices looked up at the wizard tower almost simultaneously.

Most wizarding apprentices only know that the master of the Temple of Life is a great Morning Star wizard, but they know nothing more specific.

After all, it had been decades since Lynn last truly appeared in the Temple of Life.

Those apprentices of that generation had either already broken through to become wizards or had died of old age, so it was perfectly normal for newly initiated apprentices to know nothing about it.

But formal wizards are completely different.

Many of them witnessed the events of that year firsthand.

As the Wizard Tower shone brightly, all eyes suddenly narrowed, and a chill ran through them.

"That lord... has awakened from seclusion."

"The great Morning Star has awakened... It seems like decades have passed since the last command was issued."

"As expected, a single seclusion or experiment by Morning Star is enough to exhaust a mortal's entire life."

Some murmured softly, while others held their breath in silence.

All eyes were fixed on the black wizard tower that pierced the clouds in the distance.

Their thoughts may differ, but one thing is crystal clear: once this being awakens, the Temple of Life will inevitably make a big move.

"Lady Helen and the others... I'm afraid we'll have to go and meet them."

Suddenly, someone's gaze sharpened, and they exclaimed in a low voice, "There it is!"

Three beams of light shot through the sky, heading straight for the Wizard's Tower.

It was Helen, Bodo, and Mona.

During the years when Lynn was not in the Temple of Life, it was Beverly who truly kept the entire force running, and below Beverly were these three Level 3 Archmages.

Although times have changed and there are no longer just the three of them as the third-level archmages in the Temple of Life, Helen and the others have benefited greatly from the early days, and their foundation and strength are far beyond what later generations can match.

Late stage of a level 3 Grand Wizard.

Looking at the entire Hall of Life, they are undoubtedly the three strongest.

That's why, even after decades, they still hold high positions, second only to Lynn and Beverly.

But at this moment, the three adults who were once high and mighty and domineering had completely concealed their sharp edges.

The three figures stopped outside the wizard's tower, not daring to approach even a fraction of a second further.

They materialized in mid-air and bowed respectfully to the dark and silent tower, their faces even displaying extremely fawning expressions.

The second-level wizard, who was watching from afar, took in the entire scene.

The respect and fawning on Helen and the other two's faces did not seem ridiculous to him; on the contrary, they inspired awe.

In his eyes, being able to have any form of "communication" with the Morning Star Wizard was a great blessing in itself.

Sure enough, the next moment, a flash of light appeared outside the wizard tower, and the three figures disappeared instantly, clearly having been summoned by that great one.

Seeing this, a hint of envy appeared in the eyes of the second-level wizard, who murmured to himself:

"I wonder when I will be able to win that person's favor..."

"During the last interdimensional expedition, countless apprentices broke through to become formal wizards, many first-level wizards broke through to second-level, and some second-level wizards even took the opportunity to enter the ranks of third-level grand wizards..."

"If that lord were to launch another interdimensional expedition, perhaps... I could seize the opportunity."

He is not alone in looking at people with the same gaze.

Every corner of the Temple of Life, whether apprentice, first-level wizard, second-level wizard, or third-level grand wizard.

At that moment, they all looked towards the wizard's tower, which was located at the deepest part of the tower and pierced the clouds.

Everyone is waiting.

We await the outcome after Helen and the other two meet that being.

There's also a simmering anticipation, wondering if another interdimensional expedition that could change destiny is about to begin.

As Lynn's wizard tower shone brightly inside the Temple of Life, the many wizards were filled with a whirlwind of thoughts.

Amidst the myriad realms, a spiritual force pierced through the Star Gate, heading towards Plane 001… (End of Chapter)
