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

At the Davis family estate.

The next morning, the bright sunshine streamed into the courtyard, illuminating the leaves and petals of those extraordinary plants, reflecting a shimmering light, as if each one was greedily absorbing the morning light.

Lynn sat at the stone table under the eaves, his knife and fork lying idly beside him, his gaze fixed on the plate Beverly had brought him.

Beverly, dressed in her familiar black and white maid outfit, her skirt swaying gently with her movements, carefully placed the plate on the table, her voice soft and respectful:
"My lord, this is a specialty of the Natural God Dynasty. It was specially delivered by Chief Lear last night. Please be sure to try it."

As she spoke, she gently lifted the lid with her slender fingers.

Lynn's gaze fell on the plate, and she let out a soft exclamation. Suddenly, the knife and fork in her hand seemed somewhat superfluous.

On the plate were several colorful flowers in different poses, their petals folded together, plump and bulging, as if holding some secret.

The flowers are either fiery red, azure blue, or golden yellow, with tiny dewdrops clinging to their edges, glistening in the morning light.

Beverly's slender, white fingers gently touched one of the petals, and the flower trembled slightly like a mimosa, but instead of closing up, it slowly opened.

The petals droop naturally, revealing the milky white, crystal-clear, and moist flesh inside. The flesh is tender and has a faint sheen on the surface, resembling some rare and precious spiritual flesh, yet it carries the unique fresh scent of the plant.

The remaining flowers also bloomed in turn, their interiors not containing ordinary stamens, but rather a variety of strange and unusual substances:
There were soft, milky-white lumps like solidified cream, gelatinous crystals with a faint golden glow, and a flower that, once opened, exuded wisps of blue mist, slowly moving around in the dish like a living creature.

"My lord, Chief Lear says this can nourish nature wizards..."

Beverly explained quietly from the side, her voice tinged with curiosity.

Lynn's eyes flickered slightly.

He recognized it; it was no ordinary ingredient, but rather a carefully cultivated, extraordinary plant fruit.

Nine times out of ten, after consumption, it can directly nourish the extraordinary plant itself of the nature wizard, accelerating growth, repairing wounds, and even having other effects.

He picked up his knife and fork and gently cut the milky-white fruit flesh.

It's smooth and melts in your mouth, like a warm, soft stream sliding down your throat, carrying a faint sweetness and the fragrance of herbs.

The moment the fruit entered his stomach, Lynn felt a warm sensation rise from his dantian and quickly spread throughout his body.

But even more power rushed straight into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, surging towards the World Tree.

The World Tree, already lush and verdant, now seemed even more abundant under the nourishment of the warm current, with a faint golden and silver luster flowing among its branches and leaves, its vitality so rich it was almost overflowing.

Lynn closed his eyes for a moment, carefully sensing the flow of this power.

A slight smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"nice one."

He opened his eyes, looked at Beverly, and spoke in a gentle but slightly playful tone:
"This item is helpful even to Morning Star wizards, so it must be quite valuable. Chief Lear... he certainly knows how to handle people."

Beverly smiled slightly, without replying, and simply stood quietly to the side, refilling his cup of tea.

Morning light filters through the vines and falls onto the plates.

The exotic flowers and fruits continued to bloom quietly, while Lynn continued to slowly cut and savor them.

As he consumed the fruit, Lynn's World Tree seemed to sway slightly, as if in celebration.

“I remember that during my apprenticeship, my teacher Rosalind told me that in the Eastern Region, within the Natural Divine Dynasty, there was a ‘powerful tonic’ that directly affected extraordinary plants…”

Lynn murmured to himself, his gaze falling on the few blooming flowers and fruits on the plate, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"But I never imagined that it wouldn't be until I broke through to the Morning Star Wizard level that I would finally be able to taste these delicacies that belonged exclusively to nature wizards."

Think about it.

The wizard profession has branched into various sub-professions, such as bloodline wizards, mechanical wizards, and nature wizards, each with its own unique advancement bottlenecks.

Bloodline wizards need to constantly purify their bloodline concentration, while nature wizards need to upgrade the level of the extraordinary plants within their bodies.

Without specialized methods to assist in achieving a breakthrough, it would be an eternity.

Take Lynn as an example. His breakthrough speed in cultivation has been ridiculously fast, far surpassing all other nature wizards, because he has his own cheat code.

Those layers of difficulties were meaningless to him.

But other nature wizards obviously can't all be like him.

Therefore, fruits like these, specially cultivated and directly applied to extraordinary plants, became their coveted necessities, much like the bloodline purification elixir required by bloodline wizards.

"This thing... is indeed quite good."

Lynn cut off a small piece of milky white fruit flesh. It was smooth and moist in her mouth, turning into a warm, soft flow that slid down her throat and into her entire body.

More power flowed precisely into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, nourishing the World Tree.

The World Tree, which had already reached the late stage of level four, was already lush and green. Now, under the warm current, its branches and leaves seemed to grow even more abundant, and the golden and silver luster flowed even more dynamically, with vitality so rich that it almost overflowed from its body.

"The value should be quite high... I'm afraid the entire Davis family doesn't have much fruit that can directly benefit Morning Star Wizards."

Lynn chewed slowly and carefully, making a mental assessment.

"I wonder how much of this I'll be able to enjoy once I become the lord of the Western Maple Domain... Will it be enough to directly fill the World Tree's advancement requirements?"

The morning sun was bright and the morning breeze was refreshing.

Lynn leisurely enjoyed her breakfast, while Beverly stood obediently beside her, waiting quietly.

Just then, an urgent mental energy fluctuation suddenly came from afar:

"Does the Green Forest Wizard have any spare time? The matter is urgent, please don't blame me..."

The voice was filled with obvious anxiety and urgency; it was none other than the Illusionary Grass Lion Gena, the ancestor of the Davis family.

Why would this Morning Star Wizard personally use telepathy so early in the morning, and why does he look so anxious?

Lynn paused for a moment, put down her knife and fork, and raised an eyebrow.

"Gna Wizard, what happened?"

With a thought, he released his mental fluctuations in response, letting the other party know that he was here, had nothing to do for the time being, and could come directly over.

The voice just fell.

In the distance, a bluish-green light suddenly burst forth!
Immediately afterwards, a figure soared into the air and rapidly descended towards the courtyard where Lynn was.

The speed was astonishing, with obvious urgency, even disregarding the composure and etiquette expected of nobles.

Lynn's gaze narrowed slightly as he watched the rapidly approaching streak of green light.

He knew the other party must be in a hurry, but he didn't expect this old ancestor to be in such a hurry... He didn't even care about the most basic dignity.

A sudden gust of wind rose above the courtyard.

Gnar's figure appeared in mid-air in an instant, his long gray hair disheveled in the wind, his aged face filled with anxiety and shock.

He didn't land immediately, but hovered dozens of meters outside the courtyard, his voice urgent yet still tinged with restraint:
"Azure Forest Wizard... Just now, the Ring of Life sent word that Lord Cloud Realm Return to Truth wishes to see you..."

Returning to the True Realm of Clouds: The Primordial Spirit Beast

That Radiant Moon Lord from the Natural God Dynasty actually requested to see Lynn by name! According to west Ye, this Lord Returning to Truth from the Cloud Realm is transcendent even within the Natural God Dynasty; he couldn't possibly be a seventh-level Radiant Moon Lord, he must be at least an eighth-level Radiant Moon Lord or even higher…

Upon hearing this, Lynn's chest tightened suddenly, and he involuntarily gasped.

Throughout his cultivation, although he had heard of the illustrious reputation of His Majesty the Radiant Moon and personally experienced the aftershocks of the Radiant Moon's power, this was the first time he had ever directly faced a Radiant Moon being, who was at least at the eighth level.

In an instant, countless thoughts surged into my mind like a tidal wave:
"Facing the radiant moon... will it be able to read my thoughts?"

"Will they realize I'm a time traveler?"

"Could it be that they've discovered a talent for hard work that is rewarded by Heaven?"

Lynn's mind was in complete turmoil, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked in a steady voice:
"Yesterday, west Ye went to meet that Lord Yun Jing Gui Zhen, right?"

“Yes.” Grena nodded, a hint of reverence in his voice.
"Lord Xiye went to the Ring of Life yesterday and successfully met with that lord. Presumably... Lord Xiye has recommended you to Lord Yun Jing Guizhen to become the next lord of the Xifeng Domain. That is why that lord specifically requested to see you."

Lynn nodded slightly upon hearing this.

This explanation makes sense.

If west Ye hadn't brought it up, he, an ordinary fourth-level Morning Star, would probably not even be considered dust in the eyes of Huiyue of the Natural God Dynasty.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and asked again:
"Genna Wizard, are there any taboos or etiquette when meeting His Majesty the Radiant Moon in the Natural God Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Genna gave a wry smile.

Although he was a Morning Star Wizard from the Western Maple Domain and came from a noble family, he usually only associated with Morning Stars of the same rank.

How could someone of his level casually pay homage to His Majesty the Radiant Moon within the Ring of Life?
"This... I really don't know."

Gnar's voice was tinged with helplessness, yet also carried a hint of relief:
"However, since the Qinglin Wizard is not from the Natural God Dynasty, Lord Yun Jing Guizhen should not care about those tedious formalities..."

Upon hearing this, Lynn let out a long sigh of relief.

Gna was right; he was too nervous.

Facing the radiant moon for the first time, my heart was inevitably filled with excitement. But as nervous as I was, I had to face what I had to face.

He looked at Gna, his voice regaining its calm: "Lead the way."

Genna felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly bowed, "Yes!"

In a flash, the two figures transformed into two streaks of light, speeding towards the Ring of Life.

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

At the heart of the Natural God Dynasty stands an ancient tree that has lived for countless years.

It soars into the clouds, its trunk as thick as a mountain, its branches and leaves blocking out the sun, and its roots like a giant dragon coiled around the earth, extending deep into the ground.

Surrounding the ancient tree are layers upon layers of dense forest, with tree canopies connecting with each other, and vines and giant trees intertwined to form a series of suspended sky gardens.

Those gardens, some suspended in mid-air, others clinging to the branches of ancient trees, are lush with flowers and plants, shimmering with spiritual light, resembling a fairyland on earth, yet carrying a touch of primitive and ancient majesty.

This place is none other than the Ring of Life.

The Radiant Moon resides deep within the heart of an ancient tree, while the surrounding sky gardens are filled with various facilities and buildings: some are like domed palaces woven from living vines, some are like floating towers with giant flower buds in bloom, and some are simply dwellings formed by hollowing out the interiors of towering ancient trees.

Everywhere you look, you'll find the unique style of a nature wizard: instead of cold stone and metal, there is life itself, growing, breathing, and pulsating.

Lynn and Gren had important business to attend to and traveled at a fast pace, having no time to appreciate the spectacular scenery.

The two figures streaked across the sky garden like streaks of light, passing through vibrant colors and shimmering light, heading straight for the heart of the ancient tree.

The ancient tree has no specific name; people simply refer to it as the "ancient tree."

It is so ancient and so enormous that it appears to be just a giant tree with its roots firmly planted in the earth and its canopy reaching into the sky.

However, its belly had already been developed into an independent little world by the Natural God Dynasty, the heartland of the tree.

From the outside, all one can see is a green vortex-like portal at the base of the tree trunk, spinning endlessly, separating the inside from the outside, like an eternal barrier.

There were few guards around the vortex, only a few monsters lazily dozing among the roots, and not a single patrolling wizard could be seen.

Think about it.

This place, adjacent to Her Majesty the Moon's residence, is both the most dangerous and the safest location in the entire Natural God Dynasty. Who would dare cause trouble here? And who would need to patrol?
Lynn and Genna, carrying the order to return to the true nature of the Cloud Realm, traveled unimpeded from the outer edge of the Ring of Life directly to the heart of the ancient tree.

The two stopped in front of the vortex portal.

Genna took a deep breath and respectfully performed a standard aristocratic salute towards the swirling turquoise vortex, his voice low and solemn:
"In the Western Maple Domain, the Davis family, Gna Davis, on the orders of Lord Yun Jing Gui Zhen, brought the Qinglin Wizard to this place."

The voice just fell.

The turquoise vortex paused slightly.

The colors suddenly shifted, from pure green to a soft hue reminiscent of green mountains and clear waters, like a slowly unfolding ink painting scroll, carrying a faint vitality and a rustic charm.

Immediately afterwards, the center of the vortex dipped downwards, transforming into a smooth bridge.

The bridge is made of interwoven vines and spiritual light, with fine green light flowing on its surface. Each vine seems to undulate slightly as if it has a life of its own, exuding a fresh scent of grass and trees, leading straight into the depths of the ancient tree.

Without needing Gna's prompting, Lynn took a deep breath and stepped onto the bridge.

The instant his foot landed, he clearly sensed that the World Tree suddenly flinched.

The feeling was like a frightened kitten, its fur bristling instantly, its branches trembling violently in its mind, as if it had encountered a natural enemy with instinctive fear.

Lynn forcibly suppressed the World Tree's agitation, realizing in his heart: this was the power of that Lord Yun Jing Gui Zhen.

The other party may not have meant any harm, but this physiological sense of oppression made the World Tree, a late-stage level four cultivator, instinctively fearful, just like a small beast trembling when facing an ancient behemoth.

Lynn took a deep breath, steadied himself, and continued forward.

But just then, he suddenly noticed a strange movement on the back of his hand.

He looked down.

On the back of his hand, two marks invisible to others were trembling slightly.

One was a dense, silver-blue spiderweb, the mark of the Goddess of the Web, delicate yet cold; the other was a deep, pitch-black vortex, the mark of the Goddess of Darkness, carrying a sweet yet deadly oppression.

The residual power of the two main gods remains, which Lynn has been unable to eliminate to this day, and he cannot even exert any influence over them.

But at this moment, they all trembled slightly, as if startled by some higher being, instinctively shrinking back and becoming timid.

Lynn gasped.

"Hiss... Just what is the true level of strength of that Lord Yun Jing Gui Zhen?"

"Eighth-level Radiant Moon... or is it superior?"

He wasn't sure.

But his eyes lit up at that moment, filled with an irrepressible excitement and anticipation.

He continued walking along the vine-covered bridge deeper into the ancient trees. (End of Chapter)
