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

Within the Azure Sky Spirit, the maple tree's aura shifted from faint to stable, and Lynn's voice slowly began to recount everything he had experienced during this time.

His voice was calm, and he recounted a long story. As he said, it was a long story, so he kept it brief.

Even if we try to keep it short, it will still take quite a bit of time to explain it completely.

And so, Lynn, along with the Lord of Life and the Spirit of the Azure Sky, slowly recounted the past to the Maple Tree in the 002nd dimension.

Then, the group left Dimension 002 and arrived in the Wizarding World, at the Temple of Life.

At the top of Lynn's wizard tower, Lynn sat on the platform, with the Lord of Life standing beside him.

A gentle breeze was blowing, making it slightly cool.

Lynn recounted the past in a calm tone. The Lord of Life stood there, the Azure Spirit on his forehead shimmering with light, and the maple tree listened quietly within it.

During this time, Lynn spoke, and the maple tree listened. Occasionally, the maple tree would speak slightly, expressing its feelings.

Especially when Lynn talked about "Qi", Maple remained silent until the very end, when he heard "Qi" plead with Lynn to let him pass on "Qi's" civilization.

At this moment, the maple tree sighed softly, saying nothing, but everything was understood without words.

The maple tree was once the host of the Golden Scales, but its previous host, "Qi," never perished.

Instead, it possessed the maple tree's body, allowing it to only enter the maple tree and thus treat people.

The grudges and affections between the two were naturally much longer than the total time that Lynn spent with "Qi" and "Maple Tree".

Qi seized the maple tree's physical body, forcing it to remain within the maple tree. But after hearing Qi's fate, the maple tree sighed softly:
"Civilization, huh... Fine, with your strength as a Morning Star Wizard, finding a plane to spread your civilization shouldn't be difficult."

After speaking, Maple Tree fell silent. Lynn remained noncommittal; to be fair, he was indeed curious about the past between Maple Tree and "Qi".

Neither "Qi" nor the maple tree seemed inclined to explain or communicate with him, so he wisely refrained from asking.

Lynn then recounted the events, large and small, that had occurred over the past century, including but not limited to:
Breakthroughs after the dimensional expedition, observations within the Wizard Council, various incidents in the Nightmare Rift...

Finally, after ten days and ten nights, Lynn and the Lord of Life stood at the top of the Wizard's Tower and told Maple Tree everything that had happened over the past hundred years.

The maple tree inside the Azure Sky Spirit, though silent, revealed its astonishment at Lynn's progress through the fluctuations in its aura.

All told, in less than two hundred years, Lynn broke through to the level of Morning Star Wizard!

Let alone in the impoverished and barren Southern Region, even in the incredibly prosperous Eastern Region, such progress would be considered exceptionally rare!

With such talent, to say that he will reach the pinnacle of the Morning Star realm in the future would be no exaggeration.

Even at the higher level of the Radiant Moon King, while it cannot be said that success is 100%, it can be said that the possibility of breakthrough is much higher than that of other wizards!
After listening to Lynn's story, the maple tree remained silent for a long time.

Night had fallen, and on the platform at the top of the wizard's tower, a night breeze carried the coolness of the high altitude.

The stars stretched out like a dazzling river overhead, so bright they were almost blinding, yet they seemed as distant as another world.

The maple tree didn't rush to speak.

The crystal of the Azure Sky Spirit glowed faintly between the brows of the Lord of Life, and the shadows of branches and leaves swayed gently under the moon, as if sorting out and digesting those long and heavy past events.

Finally, its voice slowly rose, low and hoarse:
I know you have many questions.

"But we have a long future ahead of us, and we can talk about it slowly later."

"Now... let me answer a few of your most pressing questions first."

Upon hearing this, Lynn's eyes suddenly lit up.

The first thing Maple Tree talked about was the one he cared about most: the golden scales.

Or rather, supreme authority.

After all, this thing made him the target of two main gods at the same time.

That's equivalent to, or even a step above, the top-tier Moonlit Crown.

How could he not care?
The maple tree's voice continued, tinged with a self-deprecating smile:

"I obtained the golden scales by chance."

"No need to overthink it, it's the kind of clichéd opportunity that only geniuses encounter, so cliché it's laughable, like finding a senior's legacy after falling off a cliff, or finding a priceless treasure at a flea market... things like that."

"It's simpler for me to find it."

"Bought from a child on the street in an ordinary city."

Lynn's eyes widened in surprise.

This is indeed the most welcome "passing on of traditions" segment.

Countless stories flashed through his mind: those destined protagonists falling off cliffs, stumbling into ancient caves, and accidentally finding fragments of scrolls... while he himself seemed to have never encountered such good fortune.

But then he thought again, the Golden Scales and the Spirit of the Azure Sky, after all the twists and turns, had finally ended up in his hands.

Perhaps, this can be considered another form of...luck?
Maple Tree's voice continued without pause:

"To discuss the Golden Scales, or the Supreme Authority, we cannot avoid the intermediate civilization plane that was devoured by the civilization of gods."

"That is the plane world where 'Qi' resides."

"Our wizarding civilization doesn't know much about it, so we only call it the 'Balance Plane,' a mid-level civilization plane that controls and pieces together the supreme authority of 'absolute fairness.'"

At this point, Maple paused, a meaningful smile appearing in her voice:

"Of course, before we get to that, I shouldn't need to explain to you... what supreme authority is, right?"

Lynn nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He certainly knew what supreme authority was.

That can be seen as a kind of "source code" of the endless heavens and myriad worlds, a kind of ultimate authority that transcends the rules.

To control it is to hold the key to the workings of the heavens and possess near-supreme power.

However, this supreme authority has appeared in fragments since the birth of the heavens, and has never been a complete whole.

Countless civilizations have gone mad for it, attempting to piece it together, merge it, and refine it, but each time they have ended in utter defeat.

The most complete and closest to the whole picture was the civilization where "Qi" was located, the Balance Civilization.

They pieced together more than 80% of the golden scales, which represent the supreme authority of "absolute fairness."

With this incomplete yet terrifying authority, an originally unremarkable intermediate civilization plane made rapid progress in a short period of time, developing to the peak of the intermediate plane, and even began to challenge the advanced civilization.

If successful, it would be able to stand alongside the Wizard Civilization, the Civilization of Gods, and the Civilization of Ancient Gods, ranking among the top civilizations in the heavens.

Unfortunately, on the eve of the Tianping Civilization's success, the Gods Civilization set its sights on this place.

They devoured the entire plane.

The golden scales shattered, with a portion being seized by the civilizations of the gods and the remainder scattered throughout the myriad worlds, even flowing into the wizarding world.

Among them was the piece that the maple tree had picked up back then.

And within that fragment, the very essence of "Qi"'s soul is hidden...

At first, the maple tree did not notice.

Like all the lucky ones, he simply played with, studied, and savored the subtleties of supreme authority. Even if it was just a fragment, the aura that transcended the rules was enough to captivate one.

By the time he finally realized something was wrong, it was too late.

"Qi" had already secretly laid the groundwork, silently seizing his body.

Lynn experienced everything that followed firsthand, so Maple Tree need not elaborate further.

The maple tree's voice echoed softly within the spirit of the blue sky, tinged with a self-mocking weariness:

"After being possessed, I could only hide a part of my consciousness inside that maple tree to survive."

"Just like you, once your physical body is shattered, you can escape into extraordinary plants to prolong your life."

"Qi couldn't kill me right away, so we were stuck in this stalemate... until you showed up."

"Of course, now that I have completely severed my connection with the Golden Scales, you are one of the absolute fair masters of the Golden Scales, or rather, the supreme authority..."

"Whether you actively collect information or choose other options afterward is entirely up to you..."

Lynn had figured out the origin of the Golden Scales, and when he heard Maple Tree's last words, he chuckled to himself.

Maple Tree's unspoken message was that although he had recovered, the Golden Scales had no intention of competing with Lynn.

The golden scales now belong entirely to Lynn, and he no longer has any interest in them.

For Lynn, this guarantee was still very important, after all, Maple Tree had an extraordinary background, being a Morning Star Extreme Realm expert.

Even if Lynn is in poor condition, being stared at by a Morning Star Extreme on the Golden Scales will still put him under immense pressure.

Now that Maple Tree has announced its withdrawal, it is naturally a very good thing.

After finishing discussing the Golden Balance, Maple paused slightly, as if adjusting her breathing in the night breeze.

It didn't rush to continue, but let the wisp of smoke slowly swirl in the azure sky for a moment before speaking again, its tone tinged with nostalgia:
"The next topic is the Spirit of the Azure Sky."

"It is a divine object from one of the four major branches of our Natural God Dynasty..."

"Although you are a nature wizard, you have never set foot in the Nature Dynasty, so let me give you a brief introduction to the territory in the Eastern Region that belongs to us nature wizards."

Lynn nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the depths of the night sky, listening quietly.

The maple tree's voice continued, carrying a faint pride, yet also a tranquility born of the passage of time:

"The prosperity of the Eastern Region far surpasses that of the Southern Region. Whether it's top-tier combat power, strategic layout, or even the most ordinary Muggle mortals, it's a completely different world compared to the Southern Region..."

"To put it simply, there are only about a dozen Radiant Moon Wizards in the Southern Region at most. The so-called Black Wizards, White Wizards, and other major forces each have at most one Radiant Moon Wizard..."

"In the Eastern Region, not to mention anything else, our Natural Divine Dynasty alone has several Historians of Radiant Moon overseeing things."

Upon hearing this, Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Radiant Moon in the Southern Region is already rare, but the Natural God Dynasty in the Eastern Region can possess "multiple" of them.

This difference in magnitude is no longer a simple matter of "strength or weakness," but an insurmountable chasm.

As if sensing his reaction, the maple tree's voice carried a hint of amusement:
“Even the mid-level combat power far surpasses that of the Southern Region. For example, our Natural Divine Dynasty can be divided into four major territories, each with a lord who is at the Morning Star Extreme Realm level.”

"And these Morning Star Realm experts, if they use the divine artifacts in their territory, can temporarily reach the combat power of a Sub-Moon Realm expert."

"The Spirit of the Azure Sky is a divine object from the Western Maple Domain, one of the four great territories."

Upon hearing this, Lynn's eyes flashed.

The implication is... doesn't that mean that Maple Tree is one of the four lords?

"Ha ha……"

As if sensing his fleeting change in expression, Maple Tree chuckled softly, his tone a mix of self-deprecation and feigned formality:
"I am but a humble person, and I am the lord of the Western Maple Domain, one of the four major domains of the Natural God Dynasty, Maple Fall Sorrow · west Ye."

"In the Natural God Dynasty, they all called me Lord Xiye... Ah, those were the days..."

It deliberately dragged out the last syllable, as if expecting Lynn to show a shocked, awe-inspiring, or at least slightly surprised expression.

Lynn simply looked at it quietly, a polite but not awkward smile playing on her lips.

The smile was gentle, yet so calm it was almost imperceptible.

The sound of the maple tree abruptly stopped.

A moment later, it let out a soft sigh, its tone tinged with a helpless complaint:

"...I forgot, you have no sense of humor."

"What a waste of my performance."

The night breeze blew across the top of the tower, and starlight spilled between the two of them.

Lynn's smile remained unchanged, and then he said:

"My esteemed Lord Xiye, your current situation truly makes it difficult for me to feel any unease..."

"Hey, you rascal!"

west Ye gave a wry smile and didn't continue talking about these things. Instead, he went straight to the point and talked about something that both Lynn and he had intentionally or unintentionally ignored.

That is how the Spirit of the Azure Sky will be dealt with!

"In fact, the Spirit of the Azure Sky is useless to me now... When I first came to the Southern Region, I brought the Golden Scales and the Spirit of the Azure Sky, and came here alone..."

"During this period, Qi certainly had a subtle influence on me, but more importantly, it was what I myself desired..."

"Because I wanted to break through to the Radiant Moon Realm, that's why I came here! Unfortunately, countless years have passed, but I haven't succeeded in breaking through; instead, I'm in a sorry state..."

"But this experience has also been a period of reflection, allowing me to calm my mind. If I am fully prepared before attempting a breakthrough, my success rate will actually increase significantly..."

"Once I advance further, this Azure Sky Spirit will naturally be useless to me. However, although I don't care about this item, it does belong to the Natural God Dynasty after all..."

"Therefore, if you want to possess this item openly and legitimately, you'd better go to the Natural God Dynasty, take over my position, and become a lord!"

west Ye slowly spoke, revealing his personal thoughts: neither the Golden Scales nor the Spirit of the Azure Sky had any intention of competing with Lynn.

However, while the Golden Scales are convenient, as Xi Ye said, if Lynn wants to obtain the Azure Sky Spirit, he will probably have to make a trip to the Natural Divine Dynasty.

Otherwise, unless he dares to risk angering the many Radiant Moon Lords of the Natural God Dynasty and forcibly seize the Spirit of the Azure Sky for himself...

"A lord, huh..."

Lynn's eyes flickered slightly, and she made up her mind.

Just as he was about to continue talking with Xi Ye, at that moment, outside the Hall of Life, wave after wave of discordant forces of rules spread out.

"Hmm? This person doesn't seem friendly..."

Within the Lord of Life's brow, west Ye sensed the overflowing power of rules and spoke thus.

"Let's go take a look!"

Lynn frowned and led the Lord of Life out of the Temple of Life... (End of Chapter)
