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

The Nightmare Rift Valley incident has undoubtedly had a profound impact on the entire Southern Region, as if the entire region had experienced a massive earthquake.

Within the Black Wizard faction are the Forgestone, the Abyss Forge, the Shadow Forge, and the Forge Temple;
Within the White Wizard faction are the Seven Sacred Towers, the Starlight Tower, the Balance Tower, and the Arcane Tower;
And the Southern Region branch of the Wizarding Council, which dominates the entire Southern Region.

Originally, the Southern Region had ten forces at the Radiant Moon level, namely the Nightmare Rift Valley and the nine forces mentioned above.

However, with the departure of the Radiant Moon Wizard from the Nightmare Rift from the Southern Region, the entire Nightmare Rift was destroyed and taken control by the Meteor Council, a group of "traitors".

Therefore, only nine forces at the Radiant Moon level remain in the Southern Region.

The Southern Region of the Wizarding Council has no doubt about its attitude towards the traitors of the Meteor Council in the Nightmare Rift, and has called on the Seven Saints Tower and the Forge Stone, which are closest to the Nightmare Rift, to join forces in dealing with them.

Even so, it only attracted the attention of the three major forces at the Radiant Moon level.

However, even with the attention of the three major Moonlit factions, they only deployed forces at the level of Morning Star Wizards.

After all, according to the rules of the Wizarding Council headquarters, unless there are special circumstances, the Moonlight Wizard is not allowed to take action within the Wizarding World.

Now, the Meteor Council, which controls the Nightmare Rift Valley, has surprisingly developed a level seven power and has wiped out more than thirty Morning Star Wizards who were sent there to suppress the bandits.

However, the crucial point is that if the Meteor Council sends a level seven Morning Star Wizard, then the Southern Branch of the Wizard Council will at most send a Lord of the Radiant Moon to negotiate with the other party.

After all, if the Meteor Council produces a Moon Wizard, then their previous "traitor" status can be completely cleared.

Unfortunately, it's not so easy for Her Majesty Radiant Moon to break through. The level seven combat power that the Meteor Council unleashed was not the power of the Radiant Moon Wizard!
That would be fatal!

Whether the Meteor Council borrowed the power of other civilizations or for some other reason, the power of another civilization at the seventh level has now appeared in the Southern Region of the Wizarding World!
This was a momentous matter, so the Wizard Council of the Southern Region directly convened the other eight major powers.

The combined might of nine powerful forces at the Radiant Moon level is a phenomenon rarely seen in the Southern Region, perhaps only occurring countless years ago when the Black Wizards and White Wizards reached a truce.

That influenced the development trajectory of the entire Southern Region for countless years to come, which shows the attention the Wizard Council paid to this matter in the Southern Region and also shows the seriousness of this matter!
………………

Even some of the Morning Star Extreme Realm members couldn't help but feel deeply moved after hearing this news.

Take, for example, Hercules from Forgestone, who had met Lynn a few times.

He has now entered the Dawn Star Realm and is only one step away from becoming His Majesty the Radiant Moon.

But this step has held him back for countless years.

When he heard that a great change had taken place in the Southern Region, and that the nine major forces of the Radiant Moon had gathered in the mountain city where the Wizard Council was located in the Southern Region, he stood on the top of his wizard tower and slowly cast his gaze toward the high sky.

There, in the spatial rifts torn open above the wizard's tower, countless star worlds connected together, like an endless Great Wall, densely packed and ruling over countless planes.

This is precisely his "Hercules Corona Borealis Great Wall".

Withdrawing his gaze, Hercules' eyes deepened as he murmured to himself:
"This move in the Southern Region... with the nine major Radiant Moon forces gathering in the Mountain City... it's likely that some of the Radiant Moon Lords will descend upon the area..."

The Wizarding Council has strict rules regarding actions taken within its own territory; His Majesty the Moon is never allowed to appear unless absolutely necessary.

But now, it has become a "necessary situation," and the seventh-level power of other civilizations has openly appeared within the Wizarding World.

In this situation, it would be reasonable for multiple Radiant Moon Lords to descend at the same time.

"The last time multiple Lords of the Moon appeared together... was probably when the great war between the Black Wizards and the White Wizards ended..."

"And this time, so many Radiant Moon Lords have gathered in the Mountain City. Who knows how this will ultimately turn out... Could it be that a Radiant Moon War will break out in the Nightmare Rift Valley...?"

Hercules shook his head.

Although he was a Morning Star Extreme Realm expert, standing at the pinnacle of Morning Star wizards, he was also considered a powerful figure within the wizarding world.

However, even the slightest difference between a Level 6 Morning Star Realm expert and a Level 7 Radiant Moon Realm expert is worlds apart.

Even he dared not presume to guess what His Majesty the Moon was thinking.

For example, the Radiant Moon Lord who once made a deal with him is the master behind the Nightmare Rift.

After the transaction was completed, the other party excitedly left the barren Southern Region and headed straight for the Central Region, the center of the wizarding world.

It was precisely because of the departure of His Majesty the Radiant Moon that the Meteor Council was able to seize the opportunity and conquer the Nightmare Rift in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, if the other side is in charge, let alone one Meteor Council, even a thousand or ten thousand Meteor Councils would not be able to shake it in the slightest.

So, in a sense, the Nightmare Rift Valley... is also related to him.

This is also why Hercules is paying close attention to the movements in the Rift Valley.

Other Morningstar Extremes, except those directly related to Nightmare Rift, are almost all outside the Wizarding World.

After all, for them, there is only one most important thing: to break through that bottleneck and step into the realm of the Radiant Moon.

Apart from that, everything else is insignificant.

Therefore, the Morning Star Realm beings spend more of their time in the myriad realms than in the Wizarding World itself...

At this moment, Hercules stood with his hands behind his back atop the Wizard Tower, gazing up at his own "Hercules Corona Borealis Great Wall" high in the sky.

He stood tall and straight like a spear, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. A dark robe covered his strong and well-proportioned body, and the hem of the robe fluttered in the strong wind at the top of the tower.

His face was resolute, his eyes were deep, his jawline was sharp as if carved by a knife, and a few strands of silver had grown at his temples, which only added to his calm and composed demeanor as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

With his hands behind his back, his knuckles broad and thick, and a faint starlight flowing between his fingers, Wu Xianzuo, who created the "Martial Immortal Body" body-refining secret technique, is naturally a body-refining wizard, so such a change is normal.

The various changes in the Southern Region gave Wu Xianzuo some free time. He stood atop his wizard tower, his eyes deep, pondering the relevant matters.

Inside his wizard tower, on one of the floors, two figures sat facing each other: the Hercules student, wizard Grimm, and his fiancée, wizard Alice from the Radiant Moon family.

Wizard Green was tall and well-proportioned with handsome features. Despite his young age, he was not immature. He wore a simple gray-blue wizard's robe, which was engraved with fine Corona Borealis runes that faintly glowed.

Alice, the wizard, sat opposite him. She was graceful and curvaceous, and her pale purple dress accentuated her slender waist and full breasts. The hem of her dress cascaded to the ground as gently as ripples on water.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her almond-shaped eyes on her oval face were slightly narrowed. Her long eyelashes trembled, and her red lips were bitten until they turned white, revealing an undisguised anxiety and fear.

Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and a purple crystal earring from the Shining Moon family shone with a cold light under the magic lamp.

Alice bit her red lips lightly, a deep fear in her beautiful eyes.

Back then, after discovering the Meteor Council's betrayal, the Southern Region of the Wizarding Council launched a manhunt for them.

And the one who orchestrated all of this was Alice, a wizard from the Radiant Moon family.

She used her family's authority to easily seize control of the task.

It seems like a simple task, but once completed, it will add a remarkable achievement to her resume.

However, this seemingly easy task completely collapsed.

Not only did they fail to wipe out the Meteor Council, but they also allowed them to escape into the Nightmare Rift, leading to the destruction of the Nightmare Rift, one of the forces of the Radiant Moon...

Alice was already at her wits' end because of this.

Remembering her engagement from years ago, she sought out Wizard Grimm and used this connection to plead with Hercules, hoping he could intercede with the Radiant Moon Lord behind the Nightmare Rift.

She was already engaged, and her family had a long-standing relationship with the God of War, so the God of War agreed to put in a good word for her and plead her case. But man proposes, God disposes.

Before that matter could be resolved, an even more terrifying change occurred in the Nightmare Rift.

Other civilizations at the seventh level.

This is no longer a "rebel disturbance," but a very serious matter, no less serious than an enemy assassin suddenly appearing in the king's bedroom in a mortal kingdom.

The fact that the nine major Radiant Moon forces in the Southern Region are now on high alert speaks volumes.

Once this matter is resolved and everything is recorded, it will inevitably be reviewed from beginning to end.

At that time, explaining Alice's command error would undoubtedly be a top crime, second only to the traitors of the Meteor Council...

Forget about improving her resume; whether she can even protect herself depends on whether the Radiant Moon Family and the Hercules Throne are willing to protect her.

At this moment, the wizard Alice vaguely recalled the time when she fought for power through her family and obtained this command mission, which seemed much easier than she had imagined.

Looking back now, did those competitors foresee the trouble lurking behind this? Instead of seeking credit, they risked getting burned.
In this way, she really lost more than she gained...

Thinking of this, the wizard Alice could no longer sit still.

She quickly grabbed the arm of the wizard Grimm beside her, shrinking into his embrace like a frightened little animal. Her soft body trembled slightly, and the curves of her pale purple dress clung to him, carrying a hint of flustered warmth and a faint fragrance of orchids.

Wizard Green looked down at the stunningly beautiful wizard in his arms, feeling the rhythm of her rising and falling chest and her warm breath. He could only raise his hand and gently pat her back, a soothing gesture that was both tender and restrained.

However, his eyes were calm to the point of being indifferent, without the slightest ripple.

The Wizard of Grimm was not a fool, much less the kind of person who would be blinded by lust if a stunningly beautiful woman with a powerful background threw herself at him.

He was very intelligent, which is why he was accepted as a disciple by Hercules.

At this moment, he would never let lust cloud his judgment and plead with his teacher to save the wizard Alice.

On the contrary, he would stand on the same level as his teacher: if Hercules hinted at giving up, he would also be decisive.

In any case, the agreement between Hercules and the Moon family was just a "marriage contract," and the woman did not necessarily have to be the wizard Alice.

If they abandon her, the other party can simply send another witch for marriage, and the emotional bond between the two families will not be broken.

From this perspective, the value of the Wizard of Grimm is far greater than that of the glamorous but already crumbling Alice Wizard before him.

After all, the Martial God Seat only has him as its precious disciple...

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

The events at Nightmare Rift Valley were like a boulder crashing into a deep pool, splashing water everywhere and reaching every corner of the Southern Region.

Both the White Wizard's Territory and the Black Wizard's Territory were shaken and filled with fear.

On the White Wizard's side, the four great towers—the Seven Saints Tower, the Starlight Tower, the Balance Tower, and the Mystery Tower—were abuzz with discussion.
The Morning Star wizards within their spheres of influence also pricked up their ears, afraid of missing even the slightest hint.

The people in the dark wizard camp have always been self-serving and selfish, but even they couldn't sit still on this matter.

The four great furnaces—the Furnace Stone, the Abyss Furnace, the Shadow Furnace, and the Furnace Temple—were the subject of private discussions among the wizards, who worried that they might cause a catastrophe that would turn the entire Southern Region upside down.

Those independent Morning Star Wizards outside were all on edge, secretly gathering information.

While the Morning Star wizards of the Southern Region were living in fear, in the Kingdom of Eluria, not too far from the Nightmare Rift, near the dividing line between the Black Wizard and White Wizard factions...

Inside the Temple of Life, Lynn, Hadley, and Tina were closely watching the interdimensional expedition to the Spirit Eye Plane, circling around the projection of the Star Gate.

Although the Nightmare Rift Valley incident caused a huge uproar and a lot of trouble, it turned out to be a stroke of good luck for the three of them.

The eye of the storm in the Southern Region had shifted, and the wizards of the Rogers family who were hunting Tina were hesitant to approach the territory of the Forgestone for fear of harming her.

This gave them enough time and space to fight a protracted war against the evil god in the Spirit Eye plane who was corrupted by the energy of the ancient god.

For example, right now, the three of them are looking through the Star Gate at the scene slowly unfolding inside.

With the allegiance of the Spirit Eye Dimension's will, plus the heavyweight instruments and demonized items previously left behind in the dimension, such as the Sky Mothership and the Otherworld Purification Device, the situation has improved.

Lynn deployed over ten thousand superhumans into the area, quickly establishing a strategic stronghold.

If we divide the entire plane of existence, these tens of thousands of extraordinary individuals, with the cooperation of the world's will and the local natives, have now successfully controlled nearly one percent of the plane's area.

The numbers may seem small, but that's precisely the toughest part of the foundation.

Once the foundation is solid, subsequent expansion will be much smoother.

Moreover, Lynn specially prepared a unique fighting style that was extremely suitable for this Spirit Eye plane.

In the Spirit Eye plane, the gods have now been completely corrupted by the energy of the ancient gods. The believers of the gods near the temples, whether they are saintesses, bishops, paladins, or legendary knights, have all fallen and been corrupted along with them.

With the help of the world's will, Lynn introduced a second god to absorb the native beings as believers.

At first, the natives had an almost instinctive aversion and rejection of the birth of this "second god".

After all, in their eyes, this was an outright evil god.

But Lynn has the Holy Messiah in charge, and the World Will personally endorses her.

With the two working together, the claim that "the old gods have been corrupted by the ancient gods and have become evil gods; the new gods represent the will of the world itself and are saving the plane" quickly spread like wildfire.

There were naturally quite a few troubles at the beginning.

Some loyal old believers, in order to protect their God, constantly challenged the new God faith promoted by Lynn.

But Lynn's tens of thousands of superhumans are not just for show.

They were like nails driven into every place; with them there, Lynn's will could be forcefully promoted.

Temples rose one after another, and statues of new gods began to be built in various places...

From remote village temples to stone carvings in desolate towns, and then to slightly larger city-states...

News of the new god spread outwards like ripples.

With the testimony of the Holy Messiah and the covert support of the world's will, the new god image promoted by Lynn is very much in line with the idea of ​​"what a god should be" in the minds of the natives of the Spirit Eye Plane: compassionate, protective, and close to mortals.

The old gods, having been corrupted by the energy of the ancient gods, no longer manifest themselves or bestow miracles as frequently as before.

The prayers of believers often go unanswered, and divine responses become increasingly rare.

With these two factors combined, the rollout of the New God Project has far exceeded expectations.

Now, in the Spirit Eye Plane, the new god has successfully replaced the old god and become the state religion of a duchy!

The natives of the entire principality and some nearby areas have converted to the new god.

The new god's identity and title are... the Lord of Life. (End of Chapter)
