Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 279 [279] The End Timeline of the Deep Blue Secret Realm (A New Volume Begins)

The biting wind and swirling snow created a breathtaking scene. Beneath our feet lay the thick layer of permafrost, which holds within it the oldest and most enduring history of the world.

Wang Ya's figure was blurred in the wind and snow, almost fading away, and his gaze was fixed on Harak on his shoulder.

Its black and white wings shone brightly, and white liquid dripped from its black eyes, reflecting a blood-red wheel deep within. Within the wheel were grotesque and twisted black souls, which suffered extreme torment and pain as the wheel turned.

At the center of the crimson roulette, a core similar to a heart, lies the dark soul controlled by Harak, in a suitable environment that nourishes the dark soul itself.

Normally, these dark souls are in a deep sleep, their consciousnesses intertwined, creating dreams that are connected to the dream world, inseparable from each other.

Harak opened its beak and let out a clear chirp. A large amount of white light emanated from its body and spread rapidly like ripples to an area of ​​hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands of meters around it. The white ripples of light did not stop until they completely covered the frozen soil of this part of the mountains.

Harak, a being of extraordinary nature, possesses infinite dark soul and the power of the Blood Sovereign, representing the balance between illusion and reality, and is also a crucial link connecting the Bubble Lands.

With Harak's help, even if this forbidden zone of life has no dream world at all, it can still create a dream world through the infinite black cores and connect it with the dream world of the entire Deep Blue World.

A multitude of distorted colors bloomed in this desolate glacial land, emerging from nothingness. The original permafrost material turned into flowing liquid, tearing open cracks from which black seawater seemed to be splashing.

The bizarre nature of the dream world was fully revealed under the influence of Harak, and Wang Ya was also glowing. However, it was the pure light of the Bubble Land, which could keep him from being tainted by the dream world and allow him to stay in the dream world for a certain period of time.

The distorted colors and bizarre, ever-changing glacial world before us are not the real dream world, but rather something between reality and the dream world, maintained entirely by the pure dream power within the Bubble Land, with Harak's infinite black core at its core.

Wang Ya wasted no time. His pupils glowed with four colors, and his Eye of Truth saw through the truth. Under his control, a large number of colorful and distorted lines gathered in front of him, gradually outlining an abstract painting.

The undulating blue lines represent the seawater, while the white, gray, and black lines at the lowest points outline the existence of ancient ruins.

Although it was very blurry, Wang Ya still managed to recreate the specific environment of this glacial land in a corner of the dream through such outlining and connection, whether it was the wind and snow above the sky, or the permafrost, the cold seawater under the ice, or the ancient ruins at the bottom of the sea 30,000 meters deep. When only 40% of the pure dream power inside the bubble land remained, he finally finished recreating everything.

This process was extremely stressful for Wang Ya, as he had to bear the entire burden of reconstructing this part of the dream. The more detailed and clear the reconstruction of this part of the dream, the greater the energy required.

Ancient texts record that powerful dream wizards are even capable of recreating a world, even if it has been destroyed by human intervention, they can still pull it back from the past in the dream world.

For a dream wizard of that level, death in the conventional sense is meaningless.

Abstract colored paint images are beginning to radiate a bright luster and are developing towards realistic images that are in line with reality.

The pure dream power continued to be consumed, and Wang Ya frowned. It was somewhat unexpected that the consumption was too great.

Fortunately, he was prepared. He slowly raised his right hand, and the golden-yellow Dream Mirror appeared. Within it, connected to the Bubble Land, the colorful bubbles floating in mid-air began to burst one by one.

A continuous stream of pure dream power filled every corner of the Bubble Land, and through the Dream Core, it provided Wang Ya with the means to consume and convert it, maintaining the dreamlike reproduction of the ancient ruins before him.

Time ticked by, and the pure dream power consumed was almost equivalent to one and a half Wang Ya's. Finally, an hour later, the desolate land, with a horizontal range of 30,000 meters and a vertical range of 30,000 meters, was completely recreated in a corner of the dream.

Wang Ya's figure faded and disappeared, and Harak also extended his claws, tearing a crack in the void in front of him, which he successfully squeezed into.

Glug!

The seawater was murky and icy cold, with no light whatsoever. The darkness was far beyond being able to see one's own hand in front of one's face, inspiring only despair and mental collapse.

The seawater, manifested in the dream world, had an additional layered, unreal quality. Blue and black were clearly distinguishable. Wang Ya felt as if he were traveling through a deep space, with the white radiance of dream power pushing away all the seawater.

His robes floated slightly on the weightless seabed, as water pressure surged in from all directions, trying to crush him into pieces.

The marine microorganisms that exist appear as tiny specks of light in the dream world. The deep, dark seabed is like a curtain, and the specks of light are like stars, making it very beautiful.

The ancient ruins present a solemn and old appearance, exuding the aura of history. Even though they are made of special materials, traces of corrosion are inevitable, with various marine sludge accumulating. However, there is no algae or coral growth at this depth, which is definitely a forbidden zone for life.

Harak was like a luminous body, but only half of it emitted a white glow; the other half seemed to blend into the dark environment of a dream world.

He took the initiative to tear open the ripples in Wang Ya's dream world, creating a smooth and unobstructed path.

A colossal wizard statue, reaching a height of 100 meters, stands in the square, and the entrance to the ruins is behind the statue.

Wang Ya's figure transformed into a white light and appeared near the statue. A ripple spread across the dream world, and even the ancient book in the statue's hand, which resembled a stone slab, was not real.

Suddenly, Wang Ya's expression changed slightly, and he stared intently at the entrance of the ruins.

Several figures, standing like sculptures, guarded the two sides of the massive stone gate. A thick layer of seawater grime covered the gaps and also concealed the switch.

Wang Ya was on high alert. It was suspected to be a wizarding relic left by the Great Wizard of Deep Blue, so no amount of caution was too much.

By maintaining this corner of the dream world, Wang Ya, in his dream state, would not have to endure the immense water pressure at the bottom of the deep sea, and the danger posed by the ruins would not reach him.

Wang Ya didn't touch anything; instead, he appeared as an observer in various parts of the ruins, his pupils gleaming with four colors.

The unique nature of the dream world prevents it from encompassing everything in reality, and the duration of its influence is still too short.

Currently, it's mostly an illusion. The algorithm database of the Eye of Truth can't fully calculate the bizarre changes in the dream world. This is unknown, and the changes are too vast. At most, Wang Ya can only observe the general situation of the ruins. As for what will happen inside the ruins under the influence of the dream world, and what they will become, Wang Ya can't be sure.

"It's truly enormous. The walls and building materials of this ruin are all made of extraordinary metals that are corrosion-resistant and extremely hard. Even after 100,000 or 1 million years, it remains largely unaffected."

Wang Ya returned to the square, standing beside the giant wizard statue, a thoughtful look on his face.

The construction of the ruins was carried out on a large scale, similar to the products of wizarding technology. Every brick and every trace was precisely matched and equivalent, without the slightest error. Even Wang Ya used the Eye of Truth to observe and confirm that, on a micro level, the buildings were also equivalent.

Besides the fact that the building materials themselves are corroded by seawater over the years, resulting in the loss of some substances and thus creating a certain imbalance at the microscopic level.

It's estimated that this ancient site has existed for at least 100,000 years, or even millions of years. Its ancient past is unknown, but it's likely related to the World Experiment Field. If it existed before the emergence of humans in this world, that would be quite terrifying.

Perhaps the technological revolution brought about by the rise of mechanical wizards in the wizarding world will only occur after this ancient ruin, the World Experimentation Field, is completed.

It is incomprehensible how, without the support of wizarding technology, the building materials used in construction could be brought to the microscopic level.

This is a problem that even the most advanced Deep Blue human civilization, at its current peak, has been unable to solve. At most, it can achieve parallel or equivalent progress at the macroscopic and nanoscale levels, which involves high-end technologies like chips. But this is a relic building spanning nearly seven kilometers.

Wang Ya frowned. If it was really built by the Great Wizard of Deep Blue, it didn't quite match. The ruins were too small and too simple.

The fluctuations of the magic array were almost non-existent. Its complexity, the difficulty of its construction, and even some of the details it contained should not have been left by someone of the sixth-level great wizard level or higher.

Even if it were just a temporary experimental site built later, it couldn't possibly be so small. Yes, small. The scale of the ancient ruins couldn't even compare to the three-story space of the Dream Tower, or Wang Ya's own experimental site.

However, if there are methods of spatial folding inside, that would be a different story.

Wang Ya walked past the wizard statue and headed towards the entrance of the ruins.

The figure of Liu Dao, clad in a long black robe, was dressed in the style of an ancient wizard. He was very tall, reaching about 2.2 meters.

Heads bowed, faces hidden by hoods, they stood motionless, enveloped in shadow, and most importantly, they were naked in the seawater.

The colors in the dream world are cool gray, which can only be found in metals, and are very different from the blue of the ocean and the black of darkness.

Ordinary, normal creatures are generally composed of lines of red, yellow, and green. Of course, anything is possible in the dream world. If you enter the dream world, your own existence might be distorted, turning you into a tree that is entirely pink.

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes. The Eye of Truth could not analyze it, but it could still discern some details. Based on the search of the algorithm database, a name appeared in his mind.

"Wizard puppets, puppets created by puppet wizards at the height of their power."

In the legendary era, the wizarding system flourished, with each school vying for dominance. Only the puppet wizards of that time could afford to use metal to create the entire puppet. The only material capable of satisfying its synesthesia, its core, and withstanding the high pressure of the ocean floor and the corrosion of seawater, was the Black Gold Boundary Steel, abundantly produced during the legendary era's plunder of other worlds.

It's a good product!

Unfortunately, it wasn't very useful to him; at best, it could become a decent collectible.

However, it is quite useful for modern puppet wizards, as they can discover the crystallization of past knowledge and puppet-making techniques from ancient puppets.

The black steel covering his entire body is worth a lot of money.

Wang Ya passed through six wizard puppets and his gaze fell on the gate of the ancient ruins. The pure dream power in his body was being consumed more and more. He maintained his dream state, and his white palm touched the gate. His whole body seemed to merge directly into it without any obstruction.

Wang Ya's pupils suddenly contracted. He looked up and saw a huge, 100-meter-tall, deep blue wizard statue standing in the square, right below the hand holding the Book of All Things.

Are you kidding me!

He was completely unaware and undetected before being transported directly to the statue.

He had clearly entered the ruins, so why was he acting like this? Wang Ya was somewhat startled, but he maintained his composure on the surface. His mind raced wildly, and no matter how much he thought about the details, he still couldn't understand what was happening to him.

Wang Ya became extremely vigilant, taking a deep look at the statue of the Deep Blue Wizard. He couldn't see the face clearly, only a blurry outline of facial features.

The ancient ruins of the dream world remain unchanged, just as Wang Yagang had arrived here.

The six wizard puppets stood motionless at the entrance to the ruins, their feet covered in a layer of seawater grime.

Wang Ya took a deep breath, his body radiating a white glow, and once again passed through the gate at the entrance of the ruins.

call!

Wang Ya exhaled, looking at the deep blue statue of the Great Wizard before him, and thought to himself, 'As expected, this place has some special characteristics. The ruins seem to refuse entry to anyone, and even the methods of a dream wizard cannot overcome it.'

The Great Wizard of Deep Blue is conservatively estimated to be a level six wizard. If it really is the ruins he built and he doesn't want others to enter, it would be quite difficult for Wang Ya with his current strength.

However, what Wang Ya didn't know was that when he entered the gate of the ruins and found himself at the foot of the statue, two whole years had passed in the world above the deep sea.

The entire Deep Blue world is in chaos. Global powers have launched small-scale wars against each other, with various grudges and entanglements. There are wars between new and old humans, wars between major powers, and small powers turning into terrorists and causing trouble everywhere. Research on superpowers continues, but with little effect. More often, they are developing technological weapons, probing each other's territorial borders, and launching military strikes.

The originator and instigator of this conflict are uncertain, but it is certain that it is related to a group of figures in retro robes. This small-scale global war is only the beginning, and no one can be sure how long it will last. Perhaps it will become the first real war between superpowers and technology.

A large passenger plane flew from the capital of the Winter Kingdom to the Bald Eagle Federation.

Tata sat in first class, with fruit, pastries, and drinks laid out before him. He didn't touch them, remaining seated upright, his closed eyelids revealing a gleaming, scarlet prosthetic eye. He was engaging in long-distance communication with a wizard who also possessed a mechanical heart. This was a network signal stream designed using technology from the Deep Blue civilization to improve themselves.

If all goes as expected, this will further advance the wizarding technology of the Mechanical Heart and generate more sparks of inspiration.

They will no longer be choked by the black tower and lose their path to becoming mechanical wizards.

"The wizards of the Natural Ring Tower suffered heavy losses. They were performing some kind of special sacrifice in an attempt to summon the will of the wizarding world, but they only succeeded halfway. In the end, only Diana successfully entered the gate to another world."

"The advanced technological power of the Deep Blue Civilization is not weak; it can even rival the core sublimation magic of a formal wizard. With so many limit-breaking wizards dead, the Natural Ring Tower will surely suffer heavy losses. In this respect, we have the advantage."

"The wizards of the Ocean Corridor seem to have conspired with the Dark Star, sacrificing most of the Cherry Blossom Country to successfully enter the gate to another world. I estimate that they have a high chance of advancing to become official wizards."

"William Willis and the other wizards from the Rotten Lands who had broken through to the limit also suffered considerable losses, directly bearing the brunt of the attack from the entire Knight Monarchy. If it weren't for an outside help who was lucky enough to open a portal to another world, they would probably have all perished."

Sensing the messages from the numerous members, Tata Kai replied, "Sometimes luck is also a form of strength. If nothing unexpected happens, the Underdark and the Ocean Corridor will become our formidable opponents, and there will be no shortage of people advancing to formal wizards. We can disregard the Natural Ring Tower, but we should keep an eye on the Rotten Land."

"Especially in the Dark Lands, there is the unprecedentedly powerful wizard 'King Yahalak' from the Land of Mountains and Seas. He should be the first to enter the interdimensional gate and leave. After becoming a formal wizard, his strength will increase by who knows how much. In short, he will definitely be terrifying and a formidable enemy of ours. We must gather more information about him."

The high-ranking wizards of the Underdark, as well as the wizard Kolan, could vaguely see the effects of the Deep Blue Secret Realm, and the members of other wizarding factions were naturally not much different.

The land of mountains and seas is only so big, and there are only so many wizards it can supply. As for going to other places, you will be attacked by the entire wizarding force of the other side.

Each new formal wizard requires a significant amount of resources and space to support their subsequent development on the wizarding path.

What if there are too many qualified wizards and not enough resources to go around?

No one who benefits will share their own gains. The conflict was sown from the beginning and will only accumulate instead of disappear. The high-ranking wizards of the major forces in the Mountain and Sea Land could see this coming and had been making preparations in secret in advance.

"The wizards from other wizarding factions are either dead or have entered the interdimensional gate. We're probably the only ones left in the entire Deep Blue Secret Realm." Tata headed to Winter to check if the two wizards from the Dark Lands who had broken through to the limit had entered the interdimensional gate.

"I have obtained the technological knowledge of the Niger Kingdom."

"I have also collected the technological knowledge of the Dutch state."

"Technological knowledge of the world's number one power."

Tata was very satisfied. "Now, it's time for us to leave. Our method is definitely better than the methods of other limit-breaking wizards, and the success rate is one hundred percent."

They controlled the Bald Eagle Central Academy of Sciences and secretly observed and summarized the methods and experiences of wizards from other factions in entering the portal to another world.

"Understood, Captain. We will arrive at the Bald Eagle World Pearl Building at the agreed time."

A message shocked the world: the figure in the retro robe, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared and announced a message to the top leaders of all forces around the world.

They want to blow up all the magnificent buildings in the world and spread the fame of the Mechanical Heart.

"So these damned bastards are from the Mechanical Heart. And what kind of superhuman force is the Mechanical Heart?" The Crimson Dragon Emperor sat on his dragon throne, watching the live broadcast on the screen in front of him, which was the World Pearl Building of the White-headed Eagle.

Facing the six black-robed figures standing there, he gritted his teeth in fury. He would never forget this style of clothing. It was these mechanical-hearted bastards who had caused his Crimson Dragon Kingdom to suffer such losses.

The Crimson Dragon Prince and the Crimson Dragon Guard disappeared from the Black Dragon Research Institute, along with all the important equipment, researchers, and superhumans inside.

He was suspected of being taken away by the black-robed doctor who had been missing for two years.

Without powerful natural disasters to protect it, the Crimson Dragon Kingdom was constantly bullied and its borders were invaded by the White Eagle Federation. Fortunately, its technological power had made a breakthrough, and it had further integrated super-powered genes, which could increase the power of divine punishment by dozens of times.

This is why the Bald Eagle Federation was wary and kept a watchful eye on each other, refraining from attacking one another.

"I don't believe these bastards could plant a bomb on my Crimson Dragon Altar."

"Guards, search the Crimson Dragon Altar! Is that it?"

boom!

A violent crash echoed throughout the Crimson Dragon Palace, and the tremors and shaking of the earth caused the Crimson Dragon Emperor to fall headfirst from his dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, the Crimson Dragon Altar is gone, leaving a huge crater. The casualties are heavy."

The shrill voice of the messenger eunuch came from outside the palace.

The dragon crown fell off, and the Crimson Dragon Emperor, his hair disheveled and eyes bloodshot, roared, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find the wizard of the Mechanical Heart and that damned black-robed crow doctor!"

This situation occurred simultaneously around the world, with the leaders of various forces utterly terrified of the group of figures in retro robes and filled with murderous intent, wishing nothing more than to annihilate them completely.

If they can bomb the most iconic building within my territory today, can they put a bomb under my bed tomorrow and send me to my death?

This is something that no one in power would absolutely tolerate.

They were destined to be disappointed; since the explosion of the Mechanical Heart, no news of any group of figures in retro robes had been found.

They vanished as if into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Year after year passed, and the impact of the Mechanical Heart bombing gradually faded, becoming a sealed confidential file.

As major powers mobilize to address the deteriorating global situation, signs of a total superpower war are becoming increasingly apparent.

The Crimson Dragon Emperor, however, still prioritizes the Black-Robed Raven Doctor and the Mechanical Heart as key targets for investigation, offering substantial Crimson Dragon Coin rewards for any clues discovered.

Strangely, even though the last wizard who broke through the limits left the Deep Blue Secret Realm through the interdimensional gate, the will of the wizarding world still did not fully descend.

As if there were some kind of limit, the devouring of the Deep Blue Secret Realm world accelerated considerably, but it still did not reach the speed predicted by the higher-ups of the various wizarding forces.

The five-fingered mountain peaks belong to which platform in the Dark Land?

The figure of the Dark Wizard was shrouded in mist, his gaze fixed on the illusory gate before him. When the gate to another world materialized, this illusory gate would solidify, allowing him to return to this platform through the Dark Wizard's mark.

Then, using a long-distance teleportation array, they can directly return to the Dark Land headquarters to undergo a breakthrough and sublimation.

"Lord Ghostlight Wizard, it has been two years, and there is still no news of King Yahalak. Perhaps the hope is very slim." The figure of Nightmare Wizard appeared beside Ghostlight Wizard.

Over the course of two years, too many illusionary gates have been formed, some by wizards from other wizarding factions who have broken through their limits, and others by wizards from the Underdark.

However, Wang Yahalak was not among these people.

Polaris was the first wizard to break through the limits of the otherworldly portal.

As for what the other party said, that Wang Yahalak was the first to come out, this is impossible to verify. The latter never actually walked out of the illusory gate.

The Purple Nightmare Wizard sighed and said, "Logically speaking, the Deep Blue Secret Realm shouldn't be too dangerous. As long as we follow the steps and make the right choices, we can condense the gate to another world. Who would have thought that the person who should least have problems would be the one who caused the problems?"

As the first wizard to emerge, Polaris will receive maximum support from the Dark Cultivation Program according to the rules.

The privilege level will be upgraded to Dark Star, and the user will be eligible to participate in the Dark Supreme Council and provide input.

The advanced inherited knowledge of the Land of Inheritance will be made freely available, although only the first two parts. However, it will be of great help in consolidating one's wizarding path after advancing to a formal wizard.

With the experience of previous wizards, the subsequent path of wizarding will be much less arduous, allowing one to quickly stabilize their strength to the normal level of a formal wizard.

Most importantly, it concerns the core heritage of the Underdark: the precious resources and methods for advancing to the second-level wizard level, and the relics left behind by the Underdark Wizards.

The first wizard to appear will have a greater chance of obtaining those items.

The Nightmare Wizard glanced at the Gloom Wizard, her eyes flickering. Although Polaris was the Gloom Wizard's disciple, she knew that the other party was more inclined to bet on Wang Yahalak.

The Wizard of the Dark Light expected, and in her own prediction, that King Yahalak should have been the first to appear.

But the actual outcome was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Nightmare Wizard frowned. Two years was such a long time, yet Wang Yahalak had not shown any trace of himself. Even the wizards of the main force in the Deep Blue Secret Realm had not seen any sign of him.

What exactly happened to Wang Yahalak?

Even the Purple Nightmare Wizard doesn't want the worst outcome to happen.

Having one more official wizard is beneficial to the headquarters.

I wonder how the Dream Wizard will react when he finds out about this.

Suddenly, the illusory gate materialized again, a fluctuation from the gate to another world.

The Ghostlight Wizard's expression changed slightly, and his eyes brightened.

The Purple Nightmare Wizard also looked over in surprise. Could it be that King Yahalak had finally returned from the Deep Blue Secret Realm?
