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

Nature's Divine Dynasty, Western Maple Domain, Davis Family Manor.

In the Eastern Region, spring reigns all year round, and the breath of life is everywhere, so rich that it seems as if the air itself is breathing.

As the headquarters of all nature wizards, the Natural God Dynasty possesses an exaggeratedly strong life force, many times higher than the average level in the Eastern Region.

Walking through the Davis family estate, Lynn could almost feel that every breath he took was like swallowing some kind of pure vitality.

What is visible to the naked eye are the flowers, plants and trees growing freely throughout the manor.

During his time in the South, Lynn also visited many places:
The mountain city is built against the mountain, a masterpiece of nature, with its layered towers blending into the cliffs;
The Shadow Forge is shrouded in an eternal tide of darkness, and one must rely on the special rules of the Shadow Sea to move across it.

But the Davis Estate in front of us is a completely different style.

There was no deliberately laid bluestone floor, nor any trace of artificial carving.

The ground is a single, smooth, mirror-like light green stone, as if the entire estate had grown naturally from the depths of the earth.

Corridors, passageways, rooms, gardens... all areas are seamlessly connected, like a large and unified organism.

What's even more amazing is that the corridor is not lined with empty walls, but with fields and flowerbeds.

Every plant planted there is not an ordinary thing, but an extraordinary plant, a necessity for nature wizards.

Lynn gripped the railing with both hands, her gaze sweeping over the swaying flowers, plants, and trees, and spoke softly:
"For nature wizards, it is best to keep extraordinary plants in seed form. During the wizard's apprenticeship, they integrate them into their spiritual realm, constantly possessing and nurturing them... Once they grow up and develop their own consciousness, they can no longer be used directly as extraordinary plants."

He paused, his gaze falling on the faint light filtering through the leaves, and continued:

"However, the Davis family didn't plant so many just for ornamental purposes. Although they can't be used directly as extraordinary plants, they can be harvested and refined to provide energy, nourishment, and even accelerate the growth of the wizards' own extraordinary plants."

As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

“Nobles are nobles… even their gardens are full of precious plants that can ‘produce offspring’.”

Hearing this, Beverly chuckled softly, but didn't reply, simply following quietly behind.

Lynn looked away and continued walking forward.

Deep within the manor, the fragrance of flowers grew stronger, and the breath of life almost solidified into a tangible form.

The practice of a nature shaman never ends with the shaman himself.

The level of the extraordinary plant within the body is the key to determining the upper limit.

Just like Lynn's World Tree, it underwent a rapid transformation after absorbing the Tree of Iro, directly catching up with his wizarding level.

The Davis family estate is filled with extraordinary plants, which, in a sense, is a direct display of their aristocratic heritage.

Every seemingly ordinary flower, plant, or tree could be the "second life" of a future wizard in the family.

However, the Davis family is no longer at its peak.

Not the entire estate is covered with extraordinary plants; only the most central areas retain this luxurious "greenery."

Lynn's assigned accommodation was one of them, a secluded courtyard deep within the manor, surrounded by ancient trees, with vines climbing the walls, and the air filled with a vitality so rich it was almost tangible.

Lynn was an outsider after all, and even as a Morning Star wizard, the Davis family couldn't be so careless as to be completely unprepared.

Their confidence was naturally due to what west Ye had said earlier.

In front of Genna, west Ye made it clear that Lynn was the candidate he personally recommended for the next leader of the West Maple Domain.

More importantly, Rosalind, an unknown member of their Davis family, became the mentor of this next lord.

This relationship instantly transformed the Davis family from a "potential troublemaker" into a "potential ally."

The wizard, the Illusionary Lion King, immediately made the decision to invite Lynn into one of the family's most central courtyards.

The treatment he received was even better than that of a regular visiting Morning Star Wizard.

Lynn was fully aware of this.

He's very clever; he can guess a bit of it.

At this moment, Rosalind and Clara are probably being subjected to a "comprehensive interrogation" by the wizard Gnar and Chief Lear.

From their first encounter with Lynn, to Lord Xiye, to the Spirit of the Azure Sky, to their current identity as Morning Star... they want to figure out what exactly happened.

Lynn didn't mind.

People at different levels naturally have different mindsets.

Now, even without using the Azure Sky Spirit, he can easily suppress the entire Davis family.

Having strength in hand means being questioned about one's background, yet one remains calm to the point of indifference.

In fact, he knew very well that when Xiye deliberately pointed out the two things, "the next lord" and "the mentor," in front of Genna, he was doing him a favor.

west Ye wanted to bring the Davis family onto his chariot.

To ensure his future control over the Western Maple Domain, he needed to retain a reliable subordinate.

Lynn stood in the center of the courtyard, his hands behind his back.

Flowers and plants sway all around, and the extraordinary plants have a unique beauty and come in various shapes.

"My lord... if it's as I think, there's no need for such trouble..."

Lynn stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over the extraordinary plants, his voice low but tinged with a coldness:
"Just break it with force. Anyone who doesn't obey can get out of here, and let the obedient ones come."

His style of managing his power has always been simple and brutal: those who obey him prosper, and those who oppose him perish.

Unfortunately, the Natural God Dynasty was not a small force he built from scratch, but a behemoth with a well-established and deeply rooted lineage.

The rules set by the Radiant Moon Lords must be obeyed obediently, even by Morning Star Wizards; they cannot act recklessly.

If he wants to truly control the Spirit of the Azure Sky and obtain the position of lord of the Western Maple Domain, he must participate in this "game of power," going through the proper procedures, comparing his background, and fighting for connections; he cannot afford to make any mistakes.

"The lordship is merely a transitional position..."

Lynn's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his voice was lowered to a whisper:

"Radiant Moon...Radiant Moon is what I want. Your Majesty Radiant Moon, high above, untouched by the mortal realm!"

Thinking of this, an irrepressible longing welled up in his heart.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.

He's only at the late stage of level four, and hasn't even crossed the level six Morning Star, so how can he talk about breaking through to the Radiant Moon?

"west Ye has taken my divine avatar to meet with that Lord Yun Jing Gui Zhen..."

Lynn wandered around the courtyard, muttering to himself.

“My methods are very crude. Even a Morning Star Wizard can see through the primordial spirit of the Azure Sky to the point that the Lord of Life is mostly visible… let alone when facing an existence of the level of His Majesty the Radiant Moon.”

"I wonder if Huiyue of the Natural God Dynasty will be displeased with my behavior... but Xiye said it's okay, so it should be... okay, right?"

He shook his head, dismissing those wild thoughts.

In the courtyard, flowers and plants swayed, and the faint glow of extraordinary plants appeared and disappeared in the night.

Beverly followed closely behind, her lovely big eyes darting around like a young girl on a picnic, completely oblivious to Lynn's heavy thoughts.

She was simply enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

The Natural God Dynasty is divided into five major regions: four territories, plus the most core Life Ring.

Those radiant moons reside eternally within the ring of life.

Upon returning, west Ye's first act was to head straight there to seek an audience with Hui Yue, who had been active in the Ring of Life recently, and Lord Yun Jing Gui Zhen.

His Majesty the Radiant Moon is always elusive, appearing only briefly and rarely seen. Even for lords like Xiye and Donghui, requesting an audience with one of the Radiant Moons is no easy task.

It's not that they lack status, but rather that their timing is off.

In the wizarding world, level breakthroughs are essentially the sublimation and evolution of species.

Mortal Muggles and formal wizards are almost not the same species; and there is an even greater difference between formal wizards and Morning Star wizards.

The lifespan of an ordinary person is no more than a hundred years, while even the most basic level of a formal wizard can live for two or three hundred years.

An experiment that takes several years may be a life-altering event for an ordinary person, but it is just a snap of the fingers for a first-level wizard.

The lifespan of Morning Star Wizards is even more exaggerated: three thousand years for level four and nine thousand years for level six.

For them, several hundred years is nothing more than a long dream; if an experiment hits a bottleneck, it is normal to go into seclusion for several hundred years.

The Moon Goddess transcends the mortal realm entirely, possessing a lifespan of over ten thousand years. She is also elusive, appearing and disappearing from the wizarding world for extremely short periods, often vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, west Ye made a special effort to find out "who is Huiyue who has been active in the Ring of Life recently" and rushed to see him as soon as he returned.

He worried that if he arrived too late, the person would be gone, and even he, as the lord, would be left with nothing but regret.

Fortunately, the Primordial Spirit Beast of Cloud Realm Return to Truth has not left since it appeared in the Ring of Life thirty years ago.

Nishiha successfully met Huiyue.

Deep within the Ring of Life lies a secluded valley embraced by lush green mountains and clear waters.

Low-lying green grass covered the valley floor, and a winding river flowed slowly from the depths of the valley, making a soft and pleasant babbling sound.

The air was so fresh it was almost sweet, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of grass and trees, along with a subtle, ethereal quality.

A figure sat quietly by the river.

He held a simple fishing rod in his hand, the fishing line dangling into the clear stream, the float motionless.

The man, dressed in a plain white robe, stood with his back to everything, seemingly carefree and at ease, as if all the noise and commotion in the world had nothing to do with him.

He just fished quietly.

The fishing rod remained motionless.

The stream flows quietly.

Birdsong occasionally breaks the silence in the valley, but then quickly fades away.

At this moment, west Ye's figure quietly appeared in the secluded valley.

With his back to the figure fishing on the riverbank, he bowed respectfully, his voice low and solemn:
"Lord west Ye of the Western Maple Domain greets Lord Gui Zhen of the Cloud Realm..."

"No need for such formalities."

A gentle voice came from ahead, tinged with surprise and amusement.

"What you've been through lately seems quite complicated..."

Yun Jingguizhen remained with his back to him, his fishing rod motionless, and the float still in the clear stream.

"The once-shining Maple Leaf Fallen Sorrow, Xi Ye, has now become like this... How interesting, how interesting."

Although she was teased and joked about by His Majesty Huiyue, Xiye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he had made a big mistake.

It would be one thing if he disappeared on his own, but the fact that he disappeared for so long along with the Spirit of the Azure Sky changes the nature of the matter entirely.

As a sacred relic of the Radiant Moon, the Spirit of the Azure Sky holds undeniable importance for the entire Natural Divine Dynasty.

Losing so many years without explanation, even His Majesty the Moon Goddess might harbor resentment.

Therefore, before paying his respects, west Ye specifically inquired about the recent situation from the spirit lion Gena of the Illusionary Grass.

The result, however, made his heart sink:
A hundred years ago, Her Majesty the Radiant Moon issued a special order within the Ring of Life to search for the whereabouts of the Spirit of the Azure Sky with all one's might.

Those radiant moons gave him some time to recover, but clearly, a hundred years ago, their patience had long since run out, and they spared no effort to have the entire Natural God Dynasty gather clues.

It was around that time that Nanshuang launched a major invasion of Xifeng Domain, and the various connections between them became clear.

west Ye took a deep breath, her voice low and sincere:
"I nearly lost the Spirit of Azure Sky; this is an unforgivable mistake on my part, Xi Ye. I am no longer worthy of the position of Lord of the Western Maple Domain. I humbly beg Lord Yun Jing Gui Zhen..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a gentle yet authoritative voice from the front.

"It's good that he's back."

"The Spirit of the Azure Sky has also been brought back."

"Even if there were any minor problems, they're all in the past now..."

Yun Jinggui smiled helplessly, his voice still gentle, yet carrying a hint of authority:

"Besides, I'm going back to the wizarding world to recuperate, and I don't want to punish you with the law... Let's leave it at that."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly turned around.

His magnificent white robes fluttered gently in the breeze. He was tall and strong, with long hair that fell down, but it couldn't hide his face... which had no features at all.

Like a smooth, flawless mirror, it reflects the greenery of the valley, the clear ripples of the stream, and even the slightly pale face of the western leaves.

Beneath the mirror, there are no eyes, yet they seem to gaze.

It has no mouth, yet it seems to smile; it has no expression, yet it gives one a sense of transcendent, almost compassionate, gaze.

"Don't worry about that... Thirty years ago, I was tricked by that cunning fellow... He gambled away my face for a hundred years, but it will be fine after a hundred years..."

Yun Jingguizhen pointed to his mirror-like face and smiled gently.

However, upon hearing this, Xi Ye's lips twitched. Although Lord Yun Jing Gui Zhen was a top figure in the Natural God Dynasty, his personality was indeed not "the composure that a great person should have".

Looking back, I think my personality was probably greatly influenced by Master Yun Jing Gui Zhen...

It's fine this way. If it were another Lord of the Radiant Moon who had returned this time, I'm afraid I would have been subjected to this punishment.

Although she had the idea of ​​apologizing, it would naturally be best if she didn't have to be punished, since Xiye didn't have masochistic tendencies.

Therefore, west Ye quickly said in a serious tone:
"Lord Yun Jing Gui Zhen, my earlier resignation from the position of lord was not merely due to guilt, but because I have decided to take a further step and formally attempt to reach the realm of Radiant Moon Wizard!"

"At the same time, with my return to the Natural God Dynasty, I have also brought with me someone I believe is more suitable to be the next lord..."

Upon hearing west Ye's words, Yun Jing Gui Zhen gave a soft "oh," and then, though his mirror-like face seemed to be invisible, a gaze did indeed fall upon Xi Ye's "suit," as if he were observing something.

"You have ideas...and you're not bound by convention. Good, good, do it however you want..." (End of Chapter)
