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

On the azure platform, atop the Throne of Life, the Lord of Life sat with his eyes closed, communicating with believers from across the entire plane through the Azure Spirit within him.

At this moment, streaks of azure light emerged from his body, and his entire being was filled with a divine aura.

It's hard to believe that just over a decade ago, this figure was merely an ordinary king of a mortal kingdom, possessing only the power of a first-level being.

But now, he has become the Lord of Life, who controls the Church of Life and has countless believers. The Spirit of Azure Sky, a product of the former God's shattered divine identity being reshaped, has brought him a great boost in status!
This was still based on the fact that Lynn had a backup plan, limiting the authority of the Lord of Life and only granting him the ability to process faith.

If Lynn were to fully unleash his authority, the Lord of Life, with the Spirit of Azure Sky and the massive number of believers of the Church of Life, would likely be able to break through to the fourth level instantly!
If the number of believers continues to grow, then breaking through from level four to level five, and then from level five to level six perfection, will be a piece of cake!
As for the seventh level, that level belongs to the category of the strong in the entire universe. Even with the divine spark of a shattered main god, it is impossible to say that one can directly cross that bottleneck...

Unless the goddess of life and nature, Santia, has been resurrected...

Outside the cyan platform, there were two stunningly beautiful figures. One was dressed in a white dress, revealing long, beautiful legs, with fair and delicate skin and alluring eyes.

She stood atop the back of a feathered serpent with wings, her holy aura carrying a devilish allure—it was none other than Evelyn.

The other was dressed in a dark robe, with his long hair tied up, his purple eyes sparkling, and his lips slightly pursed. He rode an elegant black dragon with its wings spread, exuding a powerful aura.

This, of course, is Astrid.

At this moment, Evelyn glanced at the Lord of Life, whose divine aura filled the azure platform, then looked at Astrid, who was staring intently at the Lord of Life, and then parted her red lips slightly:
“Sister Astrid…you think you’re just a plaything to him, or revenge for all the hatred from the past…but in reality, that’s not the case at all…”

"Given their level of perspective and experience, it's difficult for them to be viewed through the lens of ordinary values... You may have vivid memories of past grudges, but they might not be so clear to him..."

"Perhaps at first, he had the idea of ​​taking his anger out on you, but as time goes by, the resentment in his heart has probably completely dissipated... This can be seen from your situation."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion crossed Astrid's bright purple eyes, followed by Evelyn's soft hum before she continued:
"In the wizarding world's temple of life, you are a renowned matriarch. If he harbors any resentment, after what happened to Jess, you would probably be a caged bird, or even a specimen of a golden oriole..."

"But he spoils you a lot, otherwise your title of mistress wouldn't have spread so widely. After I came here, I didn't get jealous of you either..."

At this point, Astrid's beautiful eyes also froze slightly, clearly having been enlightened by Evelyn.

Regardless of whether Lynn initially took her out of spite or out of old grudges, things have changed now.

The opponent, a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard, possesses a lifespan of three thousand years and controls multiple planes of existence. The length of his lifespan is already on a completely different level from hers.

If Lynn had any ulterior motives for her acting like that, she probably wouldn't be alive and kicking now. So, by extension, Lynn at least doesn't dislike her anymore. As for whether he likes or loves her, she doesn't dare to hope for that at all.

At this moment, Evelyn gave another soft hum and continued:

"Therefore, why does Sister Astrid need to come here every now and then... If she has such thoughts, she can simply ask him for a real offspring..."

Having just had her inner conflict exposed, Evelyn's next words made Astrid's cheeks flush instantly, and she quickly stammered, "I...I didn't..."

Lynn's previous task for Evelyn was to counsel Astrid, and Evelyn lived up to his expectations, not only helping Astrid out of her suicidal state but also helping Lynn improve his relationship with her...

If Lynn knew, he would probably be dumbfounded and reward Evelyn handsomely for a few days.

Neither of the women came from a purely lowly background; one was the offspring of a level-three being, and the other was created by a level-four being using forbidden witchcraft.

Of the two young ladies, Astrid, the fourth-level descendant, is full of spoiled brat traits, while Evelyn is far superior, both in emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills.

Perhaps, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard never intended to raise his adopted daughter; he only hoped she could protect him from disaster...

Evelyn, on the other hand, was groomed to succeed Quetzalcoatl, so naturally the outcome was different...

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

Within the Spirit Eye Dimension, in the sole empire.

The vast Spirit Eye Plane covers an immeasurable area and contains hundreds of duchies and kingdoms of varying sizes.

In addition, there are numerous noble territories, which, when added together, are equivalent to the territories of many kingdoms.

Among so many nations, there is only one empire, an incomparably powerful empire, which makes the entire plane submit, pay homage, and pay taxes!

That was none other than the Aftberg Empire!
The glory of the Aftberg Empire shines throughout the entire Spirit Eye Plane, and hundreds of duchies and kingdoms, large and small, are willing to accept and submit to it.

The reason is simple: this place is the original temple of the local gods!
All the temples and clergy throughout the entire Spirit Eye Plane must ultimately report here!
Some legends even say that the native deity was originally named Aftberg, and that the ancestors of the kings and nobles of the Aftberg Empire were descendants of that deity before he became a god...

However, no one can be certain whether this information can be verified, since it concerns the gods themselves and is inherently taboo.

Ordinary people might dare to whisper about it in private, but they are ultimately in the dark, not understanding the situation, and can only spread rumors, which become increasingly outrageous.

While noble families, large and small, possessed ancestral records, matters concerning the gods themselves required clergy to directly enter these homes and clear away any information related to the gods…

The only lineage that has any record of this past is that of the kings of the Aftberg Empire.

Indeed, there is clear evidence in the ancestral records of the Kingdom that they are descendants of the gods, passed down through generations.

However, the nobles who inherited the royal lineage only regarded this as an anecdote, and would not and dare not flaunt their status as descendants of gods to the temple or clergy in the slightest.

Since that ancestor Aftberg entered the divine level, he initially took some care of his family's descendants, making them the rulers of the empire.

But soon, the gods stopped paying attention to their prayers and calls. These descendants, not understanding why, thought that the gods had grown tired of some of their privileges.

Therefore, they could only keep their tails between their legs and shrink back. Although they lost many privileges, it restrained the inheritance of family traditions and even earned them the respect of the temple and many clergy.

For the descendants of these deities, it could be considered a blessing in disguise.

After all, they had no idea that the god originally intended to protect his descendants; otherwise, he wouldn't have made them the rulers of the empire, standing at the pinnacle of power in the entire plane. The reason the god stopped contacting them later was simple: the god had overstepped his bounds!

Back then, after the gods broke through to the fourth level, there were only two paths for the next direction of the entire plane.

First, it is to follow the constant urging of the world's origin, allowing the gods to cultivate and pass on their knowledge, supporting others to become gods, and strengthening the entire plane.

In this process, although the deity's authority may be diminished by sharing it with others, the world's origin promises to guarantee that Aftberg will remain at the top of the plane.

The second path, however, is the path chosen by the gods.

He went through countless hardships to cultivate from an ordinary person to the fourth level, standing at the highest peak of the entire world!

However, he did not live long enough before the origin of the world urged him to actively support others.

Even though there was some compensation, this deity clearly did not believe in the theory of the origin of the world.

For him, compensation? What compensation!
He wants the entire plane, including the origin of the world, and to take control of the entire plane for himself!
This deity wanted to devour the entire plane by himself, which was a huge ambition, but he was clearly too inexperienced.

After all, he had just broken through to the fourth level, and the entire plane had only just entered the initial stage of civilization. He didn't have a deep understanding of the Morning Star Domain, which is the fourth to sixth level.

According to research conducted by wizarding worlds of advanced civilizations, all beings in the myriad realms are only referred to as "Celestial True Gods" when they cultivate to the sixth level of perfection.

Only then can it be equated to the immense energy of a plane of existence.

To control, absorb, and dominate the entire plane, one must be at least at the fifth level of perfection before daring to even attempt it, and still face a great risk of failure.

However, the local deity, being ignorant and fearless, tried and failed, but it was not a complete failure.

Ultimately, a unique situation arose in the Spirit Eye plane: Aftberg and the origin of the world merged into one.

Good news, Aftberg has acquired the entire plane, achieving his wish;
The bad news is that, in order to advance further, he cannot cultivate himself; he can only make the entire plane stronger. This means he still needs to nurture others and help them break through to the fourth level to make the entire plane stronger...

After going through a long and winding road, he ultimately lost his freedom. Even though he lived as long as the plane of existence, he was subject to layers of restrictions.

If we want to go any further, we can only follow the old path that the original source of this world had led us down...

However, good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.

After Aftberg merged with the origin of the world, he did his best to support the emergence of a new Level 4, who was an extremely fanatical and loyal believer in his temple, a Saintess who had reached the peak of Level 3!

The opponent successfully overcame numerous tribulations, comprehended the power of the rules, and entered the fourth level.

However, as fate would have it, at this very moment, the entire dimensional world was attacked by an even more powerful civilization...

Indeed, it was none other than the Spirit Eye Wizard, who forcibly entered this dimensional world with the Spirit Eye Furnace, the Otherworld Purification Device, the Sky Mothership, and more!
That interdimensional war was earth-shattering, causing immense suffering and destruction. Both the origin of the world and Aftberg suffered severe injuries.

Although the first battle of the interdimensional war ended with the Spirit Eye Wizard being absorbed by the [Landscape].

However, the entire plane suffered heavy losses, and even the saintess who had finally cultivated to the fourth level was lost...

After the first battle of the interdimensional war ended, the origin of the world thought it could finally have some peace and quiet and could recuperate.

But the origin of the world did not expect that Aftberg, with which it had been born, would take a different path.

The origin of the world does not have an independent consciousness; it only follows the various rules of heaven and earth that have formed as the entire plane has developed.

Within this framework of rules, the origin of the world possesses a certain level of intelligence and is capable of communication.

But beyond this scope, such as things outside of different dimensions, the origin of the world becomes a mystery.

However, Aftberg, a genuine Level 4 being, is not subject to these limitations; he can sense all information from all the universes.

After the war between the planes ended, Aftberg did indeed go through a long period of recuperation, but just a few decades ago, he sensed a unique energy in all the worlds.

That energy aura originated from an infinitely distant place, leading to another infinitely distant place, passing through the Spirit Eye plane, with a long, residual energy line running through it...

Aftberg accidentally came into contact with this residual energy line, thus becoming infected with the energy of the ancient god. From then on, he was out of control, and it seems that he is not far from becoming a follower of the ancient god.

Coincidentally, the long residual lines of ancient god energy that Aftberg sensed represented the direction in which the ancient god energy was moving.

The direction of that movement was none other than the ancient god energy that the dark goddess Shar had personally intercepted from the ancient god civilization.

Carrying the energy of the ancient gods, her destination was none other than the wizarding civilization, specifically Sel in the Nightmare Rift Valley of the Southern Region.

Sel obtained most of the ancient god's energy and successfully stepped into the seventh level, unleashing the power of the seventh level, which shook the entire Southern Region and the nine major Radiant Moon forces.

However, Aftberg, who was situated on this long line and had only lightly tried the residual energy, was eroded by the ancient god's energy to the point of near death.

To this day, he no longer possesses independent consciousness; even the origin of the world, an entity born from and inseparable from him, cannot communicate with him effectively…

And this situation is escalating, and no one knows what form Aftberg will ultimately take from the ancient god's energy.

The mere residual energy of the ancient gods was enough to cause the Spirit Eye Plane to collapse without a fight, demonstrating the terrifying nature of the ancient god civilization and the sheer horror of the ancient god level!
………………

Meanwhile, in the wizarding world, an uninvited guest arrived at the Temple of Life, even alarming the Morning Star wizards Lynn and Tina.

The visitor's purpose was simple and clear: they were there because of the ancient god's energy aura that had recently erupted here! (End of Chapter)
