Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 719 I don't want the Time-Shadow Fern anymore! All things return to the tree!

As the Grand Duke slaughtered all the prisoners in the prison, the changes did not disappear. In an instant, the entire Silent Plane turned into complete darkness.

Dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain poured down.

An immense magical pressure emanated from beyond the world.

Within the realm of magic, the witch Medea looked up at the demonic pressure emanating from beyond the Silent Dimension, a flicker of excitement in her eyes.

"There is always a way out."

Deep within the realm of magic, the witch Georgina, manipulating the loom of fate, wore a look of astonishment. "How can such a powerful magical pressure exist within the Silent Dimension?"

"If that's the case, why didn't that thing appear while we were fighting the emperor?"

"Could this be the truth that this world is destined to be destroyed?"

A strange blue light seemed to pierce through the gates of the Dharma Realm, shining towards its deepest depths.

Georgina the witch saw a strange blue light, faintly appearing in the magical realm, trying to shine towards her.

However, this is impossible because of the separation between the Dharma Realm and the present world of the Silent Dimension.

However, Georgina the Witch realized that her own destiny's spinning machine was being affected by an alien demonic pressure.

Georgina the Witch was startled. "The gates to the magical realm have already been closed by that bastard Locke, how could this demonic pressure possibly penetrate the magical realm and shine here? What happened?"

"Could this be the second half of the competition? All of us contestants will have to face this challenge."

Meanwhile, in the present world.

At this moment, dark clouds filled the sky above the Silent Dimension. Locke stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, as heavy rain began to fall.

Locke walked out of the prison and saw that the land had become muddy, and the sea at the edge of the cliff was surging with rising water.

He seemed to see a vision, a continuous downpour that lasted for who knows how many years.

At this moment, Locke, through the magic of [Saint Avatar], obtained the power of this plane and the identity and name of the disc-shaped creature that was descending before him—Disc Creature Omega.

The torrential rain that lasted for 100,000 years.

The great rain that once caused a mass extinction in parts of the wizarding world.

Omega Rain.

Meanwhile, in various parts of the Silent Dimension, monsters formed from condensed rainwater have appeared, and these monsters have been constantly attacking humans.

Humans, under the threat of monsters and floods, are more likely to choose to accept the parasitic effects of blue light.

At this moment, Locke summoned a sea gold sand, which transformed into the Flowing Gold Fern Spear. Locke swung the fern spear and shattered a huge water lizard formed from a mass of water into pieces.

"Something's wrong."

“I have already closed the gates to the Dharma Realm, so it's impossible for me to influence it. What makes the disc-shaped creatures continue to influence the witches Georgina and Medea within the Dharma Realm?”

"Similarly, the speed at which this disc-shaped creature descends is too fast. This disc-shaped creature is no longer in its overwhelming peak state when it was exposed in previous competitions. It can descend into the Silent Plane in an instant and possess such a huge magical pressure."

"Why does it possess such a rapid speed at which it parasitizes the creatures of this world?"

A question arose in Locke's mind.

At the same time, he seemed to sense that a long time ago, when the Silent Witch was still in the ordinary second-ring stage, she had the same doubts as him after encountering this situation.

A powerful magical pressure swept over us.

The sky over the Silent Dimension was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain was pouring down. Even the Moon of Evolution was no longer clearly visible.

The disc-shaped creature, Omega, transformed into a blue halo Ω and declared to the world: "From this moment on, the countdown to my arrival in this world begins. In seven days, I will descend upon this world and destroy it."

"There is a deeper mystery beyond life."

"Only by returning to me, by uniting with me, is it possible..."

His words were forcibly interrupted.

Because in this dark, torrential rain, in a corner of this world, a demonic pressure that many had forgotten erupted.

That was a demonic pressure erupting from the deepest part of the Land of All Spirits that still exists in the present world; it was a demonic pressure belonging to Edgar.

"Get out of here, you weakling. You have no right to speak here."

Edgar's magical pressure emanated from the Land of All Spirits, and at the very center of that Land of All Spirits appeared an ancient tree of life.

The ancient tree of life was first and foremost a shadow of a seed. Then, this shadow seed suddenly took root and sprouted, growing rapidly on the land and transforming into a large tree standing in the very center of this plane, radiating emerald light.

The great tree had a vast root system and a lush canopy. Countless magical energies converged there, and countless death spiritualities accumulated on the surface of the Silent Plane were all mobilized and gathered towards Edgar's Land of All Spirits.

Those dead spirits transformed into leaves, and then, at their most mature stage, those leaves also turned into withered leaves, falling to the ground and fertilizing the earth.

All things return to the tree!

Edgar's magical pressure surged rapidly, completely overshadowing Omega's, causing both the audience and the mortals of this world to look up at the enormous tree in the plane.

The tree stretched from sky to earth, resembling a verdant sun. Once it appeared, it became a source of light, the source of radiance beneath the dark clouds.

Edgar's massive magic was incredibly exaggerated in scale; the tree stretched from the sky to the ground, like a number line, directly piercing through the Silent Dimension.

Edgar burst into laughter. "Hahaha, it's a success! My Tree of Perfection is a success!"

"Locke, I'm not playing games with you. I'll use three-dimensional coordinates plus one-dimensional spiritual coordinates to create a new map. My ultimate magic will be in the mortal world!"

"It was a bit of a struggle, but I did it! Hahaha..."

“I don’t need the Time-Shadow Fern anymore, I’ll give it to you. This Perfect Tree is my true ultimate magic.”

At this moment, the Tree of Perfection has completely separated from the Land of All Spirits and has become a second-circle magical plant that traverses the Silent Dimension.

The disc-shaped creature Omega is extremely angry. It is announcing its seven-day descent, intending to instill fear in all living beings in the Silent Dimension, making it easier for it to descend upon this world.

But then, Edgar suddenly unleashed his immense magic, stealing all the limelight.

Moreover, Edgar's unleashing of his immense magic caused a very big problem.

That is, Locke had already doubled the magical pressure in the Silent Dimension by unleashing his immense magic.

This means that no matter how many people it possesses in the present world, it cannot threaten the Dharma realm.

This has reduced its threat level.

Now, Edgar has unleashed such a massive magic in the mortal realm that it is even showing signs of increasing the world's magical pressure by a third.

Its base is in the mortal world. Its original plan was to infect most of the living beings in the mortal world, then attack Locke, and then forcefully attack the Dharma Realm to completely eliminate all its opponents in the Silent Plane, and then complete its descent.

However, this point is changed when Edgar unleashed a massive magic attack in the mortal realm, doubling the total magical pressure in the mortal realm. This causes a relative decrease in the total magical pressure of the portion infected by Edgar, which is equivalent to diluting its share.

This has led to the near-extinction of the fundamental foundation of the disc-shaped creature Omega in the modern world.

This makes it seem clownish. Because in this way, it would be impossible for it to arrive within seven days, and its so-called seven-day arrival would become a joke.

None of this would have happened in the first place.

It happened simply because of Edgar.

The disc-shaped creature, Omega, was extremely angry. Its power gathered in mid-air, turning the rain into a great flood that crashed towards the perfect tree.

Before they could even get close, the great flood was shattered by the Perfect Tree Treant with a single palm strike.

The next moment, the Tree of Perfection suddenly stretched out its enormous tree hand. In fact, its movements were very slow, but because its body was so huge, the movements were still very fast. The tree-man grabbed the blue light of Omega in the air, and then... everything returned to the tree!
The next moment, Omega was horrified to discover that its share of power had vanished forever.

Immediately afterwards, the Tree of Perfection sprouted five leaves, which suddenly fell to the ground, then quickly rotted, transforming into a magical tide that fertilized the earth.

Edgar's saintly avatar materialized before the Tree of Perfection, his hands behind his back, looking at the blue halo of Omega that flashed beside him.

"Get out of my way. You weakling. The strong always get stronger. I have no interest in you. You're just a mere disc-shaped creature, not worth mentioning."

“My real adversary is Locke Augustine.”

At this moment, the disc-shaped creature Omega was enraged.

Locke finally understood what Edgar's backup plan was.

The Land of All Spirits can transform the spiritual essence of death into the spirits of plants, achieving a balance between life and death, and between plants and living beings.

According to this principle, Edgar would also become a plant spirit after his death.

So he used his death to transform himself into a plant spirit.

The plant spirit he chose was an ancient tree of life that he had planted in advance inside the Land of Ten Thousand Spirits.

As the owner of the Tree of Life, Locke finally figured out the key.

The Tree of Life is spiritually connected to the wizard and shares the same level. In other words, unless the wizard becomes a second-circle wizard, their Tree of Life cannot become a second-circle magical plant.

However, once one becomes a second-circle wizard, one's Tree of Life can also become a second-circle magical plant.

Edgar's ancient tree of life had long since become a second-ring magical plant.

He simply used a second-circle botanical spell he had prepared beforehand, "Returning to Roots," to transform the ancient tree of life into a seed and store it in the deepest part of the Land of All Spirits.

Only after his death will his own death spirit transform into existence spirit, becoming the essence of a plant, and then he can merge with the ancient tree of life, which is in the process of "returning to its roots" and becoming a seed.

Then, he was reborn as the Tree of Life.

So what is the purpose?

'Once a Grand Magic spell is created, it cannot be changed; it can only be modified. This is because Grand Magic is a wizard's second soul; unless the wizard restarts the game, they cannot modify a completed Grand Magic spell.'

Locke pondered, 'But Edgar, by dying, essentially reset himself. Therefore, he can escape the Time Fern.'

'Secondly, if he dies and is reborn, his immense magic will automatically follow him. Therefore, he needs to use my world-class magic realm and the Moon of Evolution to deliberately sever his immense magic and send it to me.'

'In this way, he can be considered to be starting completely from scratch. This means he can essentially construct two massive spells in this modeling competition.'

'What great courage!'

It can only be said that Edgar truly deserves to be the strongest opponent I've encountered in the Yunze Cup.

His boldness and way of thinking are indeed not something that ordinary wizards can possess.

'This process is extremely dangerous. First of all, he's gambling, because this time he really is going to die; if he makes even the slightest mistake, he absolutely will not come back.'

Locke pondered, "In reality, his method would be absolutely impossible to succeed. Because in reality, once one truly dies, it triggers the first fundamental principle of necromancy: death will inevitably take something away from him, leaving life incomplete."

Therefore, his idea is absolutely impossible to realize in reality, and thus can only be realized within the Silent Grail.

'But if it were realized within the Silent Grail, the benefits would be immense.'

'Because this immense magic seems to be based on a spell model called 'Return of All Things to the Tree,' pieced together from botanical spells like 'Return to Roots' and 'Life Drain.'

At this point, Edgar had already used the powerful spell "All Things Return to the Tree" on Locke.

The tree-man grabbed Omega's blue light ring and fiercely refined it, turning it into several leaves.

To put it bluntly.

He ate a portion of the Omega directly.

The key point of the spell model "All Things Return to the Tree" is that all things will return to the tree. It seems to be a hybrid spell of life absorption and the return of fallen leaves to their roots. It should be a spell that Edgar developed on his own.

Under this spell model, Edgar, as the master of the spell, has already completed a process of returning all things to the tree.

What could be more in line with the magical model of all things returning to the tree than this?

In this way, Edgar's ultimate magic became extremely complete, and its energy dissipation was so low that it was comparable to the Evolution Moon created by Edgar in conjunction with the Kingdom's Domain.

Moreover, judging from the performance just now, the instantaneous magic pressure output multiplier of the "All Things Return to the Tree" skill is not low.

Most importantly, Edgar just used a powerful spell, but when he used this powerful spell, he was absorbing the spiritual energy of others.

Therefore, the issue of stamina, which should be the biggest weakness of ordinary second-circle wizards, is actually non-existent in the face of the Perfect Tree - Great Magic.

In the audience area beneath the Silent Throne, many wizards quietly gazed towards the Quinjol University audience area.

Edgar's Moon Ring Witch senior sister smiled wryly upon seeing this. "All Things Return to the Tree, this thing is indeed far superior to my Time Shadow Fern."

"It seems I've done something unnecessary, Edgar."

The Return of All Things to the Tree can transform the deathly spirituality of a world—resources that are no longer usable for the world—into a usable resource called magical tides.

Its level of perfection is even higher than that of the Time Shadow Fern.

The Shadow Fern can only convert deathly spiritual energy into plant essence, while the Perfect Tree transforms all deathly spiritual energy and other energies into magical tides.

This is the return of all things to the tree.

The Moon Witch realized that, in retrospect, both she and her teacher had interfered unnecessarily with Edgar.

Edgar might have performed better without their interference.

wrong.

The Moon Ring Witch suddenly realized. "The condition for the completion of the Return of All Things to the Tree is that its owner dies once and returns to the Perfect Tree. Only then can the Perfect Tree become a great magic that balances life and death and establishes the cycle of reincarnation."

"So, Edgar, this has always been your plan. Because only the Silent Grail can provide you with a safe environment for death. Therefore, regardless of whether I or your teacher interfere, you will do it this way..."

"You never intended to accept the Shadow Fern from the beginning... From the very beginning, you wanted to build the Perfect Tree. The Shadow Fern was merely a prelude to your building the Perfect Tree..."

"You really are a stubborn person."
