Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 357 [357] When I return, all the traitors will perish.

"The turning point for the Natural Ring Tower has arrived. A true Level 3 Moonlit Wizard is no match for the Star Wizards of the Underdark, even if there were twice as many.

Diana's face was filled with excitement and a broad smile, but she didn't notice that Gray Brandy beside her had a complex expression on his surprised and joyful face, and his eyes were flickering uncertainly.

The Radiant Moon Wizard has already qualified to travel within the inner perimeter, belonging to the top tier of power on the Wizarding Continent.

That immense power was far beyond what the Star Wizard could match.

Once it's done, it's earth-shattering.

Several figures flashed through Grey Brandy's mind, and as he looked at his sister's back, his eyes held even more complex emotions.

Rational choices and emotional choices are different.

A qualified wizard should maintain absolute rationality and make choices based on what is in his best interest.

Beneath the earth's surface, crimson energy continues to flow, its soaring crimson aura stretching far and wide, revealing only a fraction of its true power to the outside world. Deep within the earth, another space exists, where crimson tides, like a sea of ​​blood, roll and converge towards the figure at its center.

The figure was naked, every muscle exuding perfection, fully demonstrating the coordination of strength and beauty.

The crimson lines started from the heart and spread to the limbs. After covering the last inch of skin, the figure stretched out its arms, clenched its fists, and swung them out suddenly in front of it.

Click!

The space shattered instantly, and a black storm erupted from it, but it swept over him without leaving any trace.

"What wonderful mastery of power."

He took a deep breath and blew it out forcefully. The resulting gale dispersed the black storm, and the shattered fragments of space flew back into the black rift.

"Hahaha, this is the power of the Radiant Moon Wizard. If I wanted to, I could even shatter the headquarters' defensive magic array with a single punch."

The nature wizard burst into laughter, his voice echoing throughout the underground space.

He should be happy, and he deserves to be happy.

An unprecedented power flowed through his body, and when that power was unleashed, it was enough to overturn everything and destroy any witchcraft.

The bio-force field instantly expanded to a range of 100,000 meters, and the entire headquarters was under his control and perception. Some anomalies that he could not detect before could now be seen clearly, such as the spies planted by the Dark Land.

"It was all worth it, teacher. Your sacrifice and your efforts were worth it, as were the many wizards who died in the war."

The world in the eyes of the nature wizard now has millions of colors and overlapping spaces.

He can see the dream world, the shadow world, and many elemental world planes and special energy planes. These are all subordinate worlds attached to the wizarding world, and some are special world planes that span the myriad worlds and multiverses.

He also saw traces of the otherworld that all wizards yearn for. Whenever he wanted, he could tear apart the barriers between worlds and the limitations of spatial separation, cross the divide between illusion and reality, and enter it.

"Having seen the truth today, all that I did in the past was truly foolish."

The Nature Wizard sighed. Only after reaching the level of a Radiant Moon Wizard did he realize how fragile and laughable his previously complacent strength was.

"The difference between heaven and earth is nothing more than this."

"Diana, I have fulfilled my promise, and also my promise to the entire Natural Ring Tower."

On the platform of the giant tree, Diana Brandy and Grey Brandy heard the familiar voice, took a bite, and their faces showed excitement.

Looking back, a figure in a green robe emerged from the void at some point. He was tall and straight, and his gaze was like that of a blazing sun, bringing them hope and light for the future.

"Master Nature Wizard"

Compared to before, the nature wizard has changed tremendously, both in appearance and spirit. However, the longer you look at him, the more you feel that the figure in front of you does not exist in this world.

Visible to the naked eye, yet imperceptible and difficult to touch, the long green hair fluttered in the cold wind, and the robes billowed with the breeze. The nature wizard looked at the two of them, a slight smile playing on his lips, and gently walked past them to the edge of the platform, looking down at the headquarters environment below, where the blood-red color was gradually fading.

The nature wizard said softly, "I will lead you to ascension, freeing you from this bondage."

Suddenly, the nature wizard glanced at Gray Brandy out of the corner of his eye and said abruptly, "Gray, have you made up your mind? What are your targets?"

Gray Brandy's pupils contracted, and he was also startled, cold sweat quickly soaking his robes.

"Master Nature Wizard, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."

Diana Brandy's pupils dilated as she stared blankly at her brother's face, as if she were seeing him for the first time.

"You should understand, and I understand too, but it's nothing, and there's nothing to worry about. I've always been very generous, especially towards my own people."

The nature wizard stood with his hands behind his back, his green hair fluttering in the wind, exuding an otherworldly aura. "I will give you the opportunity to persuade whoever you want to persuade, whether it is Mona Anton, Mas K Tatsumi, the Nightmare Wizard 'King Yahalak,' or Gagarin Tumi. Whoever it is, as long as you can persuade them and turn them into your own people, I will be very happy to bestow my mercy."

Gray Brandy clenched his fists, his heart pounding. Now that he was no longer so fearful, he bowed calmly and said, "Gray will not let the Wizard of Nature down. I will do my best."

The nature wizard, who had turned around, seemed even more ethereal and distant, as if he were about to disappear from this world.

He only said one sentence.

"Diana, gather everyone, I will lead you to ascension and crush the Underdark."

The Holy Maiden of Spirits' face was filled with fervor and excitement as she responded forcefully, "I obey the command of the Nature Wizard!!"

Deep within the dark land of heritage, descending the steps, the torchlight, though dim, still illuminates the surroundings. The spiderwebs seem to have been cleared away, and the ground is covered in dust, marked by footprints.

At the end stood a massive stone gate, exuding an ancient aura. The shaman carrying a solitary lamp walked very slowly.

The entrance we came from was located at the very back of a library that was believed to have been founded by the sorcerer during his lifetime.

The inheritor wizard was very old, his breath was weak, and the rise and fall of his chest was almost invisible. His hunched body and long, distorted shadow made it hard to imagine that he was a formal wizard.

He seemed to have some kind of responsibility, carrying a lantern, leaving behind flickering light and shadow wherever he went. Strangely, his footsteps did not disturb the dust; each footprint overlapped with the original footprint.

Suddenly, the revolving lantern went out, and he raised his head, his gaze fixed on the massive stone gate at the end.

Click!

A cold wind blew out from the gap, carrying a chilling aura. Wisps of dark light swallowed the flames, the light gradually dimmed, and the temperature dropped. The inheritor wizard even felt his soul being annihilated, and couldn't help but marvel, "His soul power is much stronger than before, many times stronger than before."

"Such soul power is definitely not something a Star Wizard could possess. Could it be that he has already reached that stage?"

The inheritor saw a pair of hands resting on the door. They were incredibly white and long, with black fingernails and a dissipating black aura.

As the stone gate opened completely, the black aura inside surged out, forming a turbulent tide. All the flames in the corridor were extinguished, and the light was swallowed up, leaving only endless darkness engulfing everything.

The inheritor wizard lowered his head, shielding his face with his right hand, and leaned against the wall, resisting the aftershocks of this terrifying soul energy. He barely managed to keep his own soul from being stirred, at the cost of his extraordinary spiritual power being constantly depleted.

The last remaining life force was further worn away. In a daze, the inheritor wizard saw a figure walk out of the gate, in a state of being neither visible nor invisible, and could not be detected by perception, mental power, physical touch, or mental observation.

"Dark Wizard, is that you? Did you succeed?"

The inheritor wizard couldn't help but utter a sound.

He received a response; a cold voice slowly rang out, "Didn't you already have the answer, 'Ancient Pine'? I succeeded. How do I compare to the Netherworld Wizard of the past?"

The inheritor wizard was stunned.

A figure in the darkness walked past the inheritor wizard, a smirk playing on their lips. "Gu Song, you've only ever seen the Netherworld Wizard's portrait and image. As old and ancient as you are, you can't possibly comprehend the power of the Radiant Moon Wizard. I shouldn't have asked you that question."

"Youguang is inside the stone gate. When he helped me break through, his soul was damaged and his spiritual power was almost depleted. He is now in a coma, so I'm entrusting him to your care."

"Dark Wizard, what are you about to do? I sense that you are troubled, as if you are facing a difficult decision."

The figure in the darkness stopped and murmured, "Struck by a choice, perhaps, but this is different."

The Dark Wizard raised his head, his cold face filled with a chilling light in his eyes, and said softly, "I just feel sorry for a genius with such a bright future and outstanding potential who could have become the new future of the Dark Lands, but he made the wrong choice and touched things he shouldn't have."

"However, I will give him a second chance, a chance to figure things out. I gave the Dream Wizard two chances back then too. He didn't seize the first chance, but the second chance came from my mercy, which allowed him to leave the Underdark alive."

"I will still give Nightmare Wizard a second chance, which will also be his last chance."

The Dark Wizard took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the void.

"Respectfully seeing off the Dark Wizard."

The lineage wizard "Ancient Pine" had a hunched back and a humble expression on his face, but when he looked up, his eyes and expression changed, showing a hint of amusement and mockery.

His hunched body straightened up, and he even walked briskly down the corridor, humming an unknown ancient tune.

"A qualified opera stage requires outstanding roles. Who is the protagonist, who is the supporting actor, who should enter the stage, and who should leave the stage—all of this is determined by me, the creator."

"Eight thousand years is not a long time; I have already waited for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years."

The Ancient Pine Wizard stroked his aged face, then touched the delicate, fair skin of the sleeping Gloom Wizard before him, caressing her lips, eyes, and ears, and even kissing her.

He was very excited, and his expression showed excitement. "A fresh body is what I need. It needs to be strong enough. Strength and soul are both indispensable."

"Deep Blue, you cannot seal me for a lifetime. The Book of Deep Blue cannot seal me, and the Book of All Things cannot seal my rules, my path, or my power."

The ancient pine wizard roared hoarsely to the sky, clenching his fists and waving them around, appearing hysterical, and then cried like a child.

"The Purge Conference is gone, replaced by the ridiculous World Star Council, utterly laughable. Traitors will eventually pay the price. Your eyes are watching everything, but how can you, with your lofty arrogance, see even this corner of the world?"

"What I have lost will eventually be taken back. I will tear the Book of All Things apart and reclaim my path, my rules, and my power."

"When I return, the traitors and rebels will all perish!"
