Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 366 [366] Andersen's Fear: The World-Destroying Meteor Cannon

The entire Dark Land seemed to be controlled by an invisible force. Time and space were frozen, birds could not move here, and even the circulation of energy tides was suppressed.

Wang Ya's pupils reflected Andersen's image, but he hadn't completely controlled it. The deeper spaces, including the connection between the gaps in dreams, still existed, though they had become very weak.

The Moonlit Wizard's biofield can isolate an area, causing the entire ecological balance to change according to his will, and he possesses the power to facilitate such a change.

Hans Christian Andersen likely controlled all the material flow in this area, but only at the macroscopic level. At the microscopic level, the molecules, electrons, and particles that make up every living substance are in motion and cannot be stopped. Even the Moonlit Wizard could not do that.

"The first option is for the two major wizarding forces to merge. Wizards who agree will have their soul imprints planted by me and will be under my control. They will be spared from death and will enter the inner perimeter and even the core area with me."

Hans Christian Andersen's voice echoed in the dark land, and was heard by both formal wizards and apprentice wizards.

Wang Ya could thus confirm that the influence of the Dark Wizard and the Nature Wizard remained, and that only by completing the integration of wizard forces and entering the inner area could he be completely reborn.

This process for making appeals is unchangeable.

In other words, if you agree, you really can survive.

"Who I am is not important. What matters is that I can bring you what you want, what you need, and a bright future." A faint smile appeared on Hans Christian Andersen's lips. "Don't you want to see the real wizarding world? Can this corner of the borderlands of mountains and seas really contain your greedy ambitions?"

"Now, I can give you this opportunity to agree to merge and join us, becoming members of the new wizarding force called 'Dark Ring Tower.' As for the second option, 'refuse,' I think you all know the consequences."

Holding the Deep Blue Book, Hans Christian Andersen slowly stood above everyone, looking down at everything below. His figure was small, but his aura was incredibly grand, occupying the entire sky.

"You have three minutes to make your choice."

For Hans Christian Andersen, the current actions were merely a process to achieve his goal.

The land of mountains and seas is unimportant, the dark land is unimportant, and even the merger of the two great wizarding forces is unimportant.

But in some aspects, he has to accomplish these things.

The times we live in are no longer what they used to be.

The news that the Purge Council had disappeared and been replaced by the World Star Council weighed heavily on his mind. He could be considered a loser; there were certain people whose existence made him wary, and he absolutely could not allow them to discover anything amiss.

To regain past power and the path of the wizard, a cover for one's identity is also necessary.

At present, it is necessary to eliminate some internal destabilizing factors.

His gaze fell upon the figures of wizards who had emerged from their original groups, each expressing their opinions.

The wizards shuddered, clearly terrified.

The gaze of a level three Moonlit Wizard is terrifying; if he had the intention to kill them, perhaps a single glance would suffice.

As long as one has the thought of agreement in their heart and expresses it through extraordinary mental power, they can resume their actions and are not restricted by this unknown force.

Three minutes is a very short time. The Water Wizard had already gained experience the first time, so now it was just a matter of doing it again. He was once again the first official wizard to stand up and agree.

More and more wizards agreed, while fewer and fewer disagreed. An atmosphere of panic and anxiety arose in the hearts of the remaining wizards. Even some wizards who were originally firm now hesitated, but in the end they still stood up.

Among them were some wizards from the Dream and Bone lineages. Wizard Shoggoth also stepped forward and looked at Wizard Bone and Wizard Is, the meaning of which was quite clear in his eyes.

The Bone Wizard hesitated, but ultimately chose to fly into the sky.

Thorn Wizard followed closely behind, as did Karen Wizard and Silvermoon Wizard. Whether they were older, formally certified wizards or newly appointed formally certified wizards, most of them took to the skies, forming a new group of wizards.

Such a choice is perfectly understandable; given the prevailing trend, compliance is the wisest and most compliant option. Moreover, this third-level Radiant Moon Wizard, whose identity is questionable, has demonstrated his sincerity.

The more powerful a wizard is, the less likely they are to lie. Of course, to truly believe such a lie would be foolish.

But for now, they have no other choice but to believe that they have no other options.

Without exception, all the wizards from the three major formal wizarding families became members of the merged wizarding group in the sky.

Members of the ten great wizarding families also took to the sky one by one. However, to Wang Ya's surprise, Puni Stark and some of the elders of the Stark family stayed where they were, while some of the younger family wizards flew into the sky.

He narrowed his eyes. Was this considered taking sides? Even with the smallest possibility, he was unwilling to give up, minimizing the losses while not losing any chance of survival.

The members of the Anton family made the same choice, but instead, a group of branch members took to the sky. Judging from Kaze Anton's expression, it seemed that this was not what he had prepared. Under the guidance of the ultimate wizard apprentice named Gate Anton, the branch members of the Anton family became part of the merged wizard community.

As expected, all the wizards from the Natural Ring Tower faction became part of the merged group. They still harbored some hope that Andersen would be a nature wizard, after all, doing what nature wizards did, only with some changes in appearance, temperament, and even language.

There may be some self-deceptive thoughts, but the entire community of wizards in the Natural Ring Tower all follow the lead of the natural wizards.

With only one minute left, the number of wizards who had not yet chosen to merge was extremely small, at least compared to the number of wizards who were merging.

No one can truly understand life and death, and it's understandable that there are better choices available.

Hades Anton glanced at Kaze Anton beside him out of the corner of his eye, but the latter's gaze was fixed on Wang Ya.

The Nightmare Wizard has never disappointed him, always creating miracles. Today, Kazeantuen has made up his mind and is willing to believe in Wang Ya.

The remaining wizards who had not yet made a choice, such as the Deadwood Wizard, the Autumn and Winter Wizard, the Machine God Wizard, and the Freddy Wizard, all had their eyes on Wang Ya. To his surprise, neither the Is Wizard nor the North Star had made a choice.

However, Wang Ya felt that they should wait for the Ghost Light Wizard to make his choice before making theirs.

With only thirty seconds left, Andersen's gaze fell upon the Wizard of the Dark Light and Wang Ya. He could tell that the remaining wizards trusted these two and were willing to follow them, which was why they had remained motionless.

"You two, are you sure you've made your choice?"

Hans Christian Andersen stretched out his other hand and placed it on the Book of Deep Blue, seemingly preparing to turn to the first page. When he touched the page, he specifically asked Wang Ya and the Wizard of the Dark Light, his expression carrying a smile devoid of any emotion.

The Spectral Wizard's face was extremely grim. The situation couldn't have been worse than it was now. This power, which was beyond her current capabilities, left her with absolutely no intention of resisting.

She was almost certain that the being in front of her named "Andersen" was definitely an old man who had returned from the dead, and whose strength was at least that of a fourth-level wizard.

The other party had been planning this for who knows how long, with each step meticulously planned and every aspect calculated in advance.

I simply can't think of any other way to break this deadlock.

Just as she was about to speak and agree to the merger, she caught a glimpse of Wang Ya's calm gaze out of the corner of her eye, and he even winked at her.

She froze instantly.

The next moment, the entire space of the Dark Land was invaded by another force. Flowing metal fragments covered and proliferated, filling all the gaps in space, and instantly penetrating all the spatial intervals, directly descending and affecting Andersen himself.

It was too fast and too sudden. By the time he realized it, the metal shavings and fragments carrying tiny electric currents were already in his sight, in his senses, and even on his body.

His expression changed drastically in an instant, filled with fear, as if the development of events had exceeded his expectations.

"This sealing power, this thing is... damn it, it's the Void Cube." Andersen's voice even had a sharp edge. Just as the terrifying power within him was about to erupt, the metal fragments had already covered the surface of his skin, filled the tiny pores, and clung to his neck, face, mouth, and even the surrounding space was being continuously filled.

"No, that shouldn't be the case. How could you possibly possess the Void Cube, a special magical artifact that was forbidden to be forged and sealed away as early as the legendary era?"

Andersen only had time to turn his head, his angry gaze meeting Wang Ya's calm and indifferent black eyes. The latter's hands were still covered with a layer of metallic shavings, clearly indicating that he was controlling the enhancement of the sealing power.

Metal fragments covered everything, blocking the view and forming a huge, complex, folded space. Under the guidance of a large number of metal fragments, a special square shape was formed.

Resembling a large ethereal Rubik's Cube, it is constantly rotating, sometimes large, sometimes small, changing with each rotation. There are many spatial changes inside, overlapping, colliding, and constantly cycling through birth and death.

The black storm was constantly eroding what lay within.

It might not be able to kill a powerful being, but for him, it was an unbearable torment.

As endless years pass, it will eventually disappear with the passage of time and be killed by the black spatial storm.

Even once the Void Cube is used, it is difficult for the original creator to change it. It is firmly embedded in the spatial layer of the current space and connected with other spatial layers. No one knows how many spatial layers are intertwined. It is extremely complex. The slightest carelessness will lead to spatial collapse, internal annihilation, or being teleported to an unknown and dangerous place.

It can be said that once used, the banned entity will never be able to emerge again until its death.

Of course, if one is strong enough to reach the fourth level, which involves the power of rules, it is possible to influence and open the Void Cube.

Andersen was sealed away, and Wang Ya also felt the power of restriction dissipate. He was able to move again, the energy tide began to flow again, and the surrounding environment returned to calm, except for the Void Cube sealing area located in the center.

Anyone who gets close will be affected by multiple spatial folds and collisions, as well as multiple properties. There is a high probability that they will be pulled into the ethereal cube and sealed away.

"Nightmare Wizard, you did a great job. Without you, things might have really gotten to the point of no return."

When she could no longer sense Andersen's presence, the Wizard of the Ghost Light's eyes shone with excitement, a palpable sense of relief at surviving a near-death experience. She had truly reached a dead end; she had no way to deal with Andersen. He was too terrifying—his intellect, schemes, methods, and strength were all flawless.

"It's hard to imagine who could have killed and sealed Hans Christian Andersen in the Book of the Deep Blue. Perhaps that book really is called the Book of the Deep Blue. Only the Great Wizard of the Deep Blue could have done such a thing."

"Nightmare Wizard, you have accomplished what only the Deep Blue Archmage could do." The Ghost Light Wizard exhaled a long breath.

"This...this..." The Water Wizard was completely dumbfounded, frozen in the air.

The wizard groups that had chosen to merge now looked uneasy and bewildered. The events had unfolded too strangely and unexpectedly, and their hearts were pounding like waves.

Once again, the seemingly powerful and invincible Level 3 Radiant Moon Wizard was sealed away.

What's wrong with this world?

How many more unexpected things will happen?

So much so that they didn't know how to conduct themselves. The Dark Wizard, the Nature Wizard, and Andersen had all disappeared, leaving only the sole Level Two Star Wizard, the 'Ghost Light Wizard', in the arena.

The wizards of the Natural Ring Tower all turned their attention to Diana.

"How could this be?!" She was also in a state of confusion.

Gray opened his mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound.

Wang Ya smiled as he watched the situation completely calm down.

It's a pity about that old and special book.

The existence known as the Book of Deep Blue may indeed be related to the Great Wizard of Deep Blue, as can be inferred from the words of the Wizard of Dark Light.

"Wang Yahalak, you deserve to die, today you will all die."

A voice filled with anger, even bordering on exasperation, resounded throughout the Dark Land.

To everyone's horror, the once calm sky began to change again. The clear blue sky that had finally cleared up was now stained with darkness, as dark clouds rolled in and, in a twisting motion, a bizarre, enormous face formed in the sky.

A warning flashed through Wang Ya's mind, his pupils contracted, "What a joke, they actually have a backup plan."

He was genuinely terrified. Even ancient things from the distant past were so troublesome and complicated, with each link connected to the next.

This is probably a contingency plan; such a person has already anticipated the possibility of failure and the methods to remedy it.

A towering, dark figure, nearly 15,000 meters tall, pierced through the clouds, creating an astonishing torrent of particles. The dark sky seemed to serve as his cloak, and he wielded a massive, dark longsword. He emerged from the void, instantly coalescing into a terrifying energy physique that sent chills down the spines of every formal wizard; even the aftershocks could annihilate them.

Most importantly, they sensed a familiar aura again, a mixed aura similar to the one they had encountered before, and an unmistakably real aura of a Level 3 Radiant Moon Wizard.

Deep within the brow of the Dark True Form, a distorted face of a Dark Wizard emerged, filled with anger and murderous intent. Such eyes could not possibly belong to a Dark Wizard; they could only belong to Hans Christian Andersen.

Wang Ya, with his keenest perception, noticed the difference in their auras. The other party was not a complete Level 3 Radiant Moon Wizard, but rather someone who had forcibly used their own soul power to imbue the Dark Particle Energy with greater activity, manipulating the world to achieve a temporary state.

But the dark greatsword that was being swung at this moment also met the standard of a level three Moonlit Wizard.

None of the wizards present could withstand such power.

Wang Ya was almost at his wit's end, and a series of possibilities surfaced in his mind.

He couldn't resist the witchcraft; his energy and dream power were almost completely depleted.

The Netherworld Wizard Puppet is merely a level-two ascended sorcery turret; it is utterly ineffective against such an existence.

The Black King is equivalent to a formal wizard. It is estimated that even a slight aftershock from his ten-thousand-meter-tall true form would be enough to kill a large number of people.

The backup plan that Wang Ya left for himself was completely useless; it was far beyond what was expected.

boom!

The enormous, dark sword slashed down, throwing all matter and energy into chaos. The tiny particles in the void lost their basic activity, and the black storm transformed into wispy threads that coiled, spread, and spontaneously rotated to form raging air currents.

This sword strike nearly cleaved the entire Dark Land in two, creating a massive fissure in the earth. Numerous buildings collapsed, and countless apprentice wizards perished. *Sizzle!* Energy flames and explosive shockwaves soared into the sky, covering an area far exceeding 50,000 meters. The nodes of the magic array beneath the earth's veins were completely shattered, destroying energy storage facilities. The burst of intense, expansive light, even under the oppressive cover of the new Dark Sky, shone brightly.

The power was immense and astonishing!

A truly cataclysmic event.

This is not yet a complete Level 3 Moonlit Wizard; it's just that this time, the level of power has reached that standard.

However, it did not cause much damage to the formal wizarding community. At most, their bodies were damaged, they vomited blood, and they were injured by the aftershocks. Their reactions were extremely fast, and they quickly moved away from the core area. This was also because the sword was slashed towards the direction of the ethereal cube.

Wang Ya's gaze was fixed on the Void Spirit Cube, shaking the space and causing even more black storms to surge forth. The Void Spirit Cube did not shatter; the metal fragments still firmly covered the multiple displaced and folded spaces. To shatter the seal of those countless spatial layers of metal fragments with such power in an instant was impossible with just this one sword strike.

The other party's plan has failed.

Wang Ya thus confirmed her inner suspicions.

The opponent was also not in good condition, unable to maintain the power of a level three Moonlit Wizard for a long time, and even using this power came at a great cost.

The Dark Wizard's pupils dilated, her face turning ugly as her gaze fell upon the black-robed figure beneath the Dark True Form. That familiar face made her lips tremble with rage.

"That body, Andersen, you actually touched Lanxi Hai's physical body. Impossible, his body is being eroded, it has lost all vitality, it has no potential, it's just an empty shell."

"Surprised? Do you know how much soul power I consumed to give this body vitality and life? Damn it, it will take me hundreds of thousands of years to make up for this loss."

It's even possible that he'll never recover; the remaining soul power will be nothing more than a remnant fragment, not even a tenth of the original soul power within the Void Cube. If he tries to forcibly bridge the gap by using this power too many times or for too long, he will completely disappear from this world.

The dark wizard who appeared this time was very young, with fair skin. He had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time. He hovered in the air and his aura was terrifyingly powerful, actively oppressing everyone's hearts.

Wang Ya's eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed again.

Can't do it.

He has no means to fight a level three wizard.

When he met the dark wizard's gaze, he found that the other's eyes were filled with violence and greed, a kind of instinctive hunger.

Wang Ya suddenly felt a sense of panic, as if something extremely bad was about to happen.

"You forced me to do this. I didn't want to use this method, but after all this planning, I still have to use it in the end." The dark wizard's pupils flashed with blood-red light, revealing his teeth and his expression was ferocious and terrifying. "I've eaten your life force and flesh, and for a brief moment I'll unleash my power of rules. Even if those guys notice, I don't care anymore."

"The combined strength of all the wizards from both major wizarding factions—their flesh and soul, along with the energy and life force within a million-meter radius of this ley line—is sufficient. That's enough!"

Wang Ya felt a chill run down his spine, utterly terrified. This guy knew the Void Cube perfectly well and knew how to solve it.

Most importantly, he sensed that the other party was staring at him and had been locking onto his aura.

The hatred has escalated!

"One day, I need one day. You will all die today!!" Hans Christian Andersen roared to the sky. He had planned so much that even with his mental fortitude, he could not bear it. Especially when he experienced the disappointment after success, he felt as if he had returned to the feeling of powerlessness and despair that had been sealed for millions of years when he faced the Great Wizard of the Deep Blue.

The enormous, dark true form behind it split open its gaping maw, suddenly bent over, and unleashed a terrifying suction force. The dark light flickered within, as if a black hole leading to the abyss of hell existed there.

The particle energy and nutrient life of the surrounding world were being continuously absorbed. Many wizards in the Dark Land also felt a pressure, just like before. Their bodies could not move, and the huge suction force was sucking everything from them. The weak wizards were directly turned into blood mist along with their consciousness and soul, and were swallowed into the mouth of the huge Dark True Body.

A cataclysmic disaster has struck, wiping out mountains and seas!

Instantly, the golden flames of the sun burned away the influence, and Wang Ya's body disappeared into the void. The opponent's power was not as strong as before; a second-level wizard's power could withstand the attack for a few seconds, which was enough.

As he disappeared into the space and boarded the gap in the dream, the golden passageway transformed into a ribbon that instantly traversed the entire dark land. Any wizard who had not chosen to merge and had eaten the dream food from the banquet he had once hosted was entangled by this yellow ribbon and directly brought into the dream space.

A dark purple sword aura soared into the sky, unable to annihilate the massive, ten-thousand-meter-tall Dark True Form, but it bought Polaris an opportunity. The Spectral Wizard was also greatly exhausted; the remaining power formed a dark ray of light that enveloped the Isis Wizard, and together with Polaris, they chased after the fleeting yellow ribbon.

"No, Lord Ghostlight Wizard, Lord Nightmare Wizard, save us!" The group of official wizards, who were under suppression and whose life force and souls were being continuously drained, showed despair on their faces.

Their eyes held a yearning for life; they reached out their right hands as if to grasp something, but could only watch helplessly as their target and others disappeared and left.

Those bearing the Nightmare Mark, in particular, wore expressions of regret and resentment, wailing, "It shouldn't have happened, it shouldn't have happened! I had a chance, I could have lived! No!!"

The Bone Wizard's expression was calm, as if he had already taken life and death in stride. He looked at the Shoggoth Wizard beside him with a deep gaze. The Shoggoth Wizard, who had also been panicked, calmed down after seeing the Bone Wizard's expression and gaze. He smiled faintly and said, "It's good, teacher. We died together, but little Is survived. The Bone lineage has not been cut off."

The Thorn Wizard's eyes were vacant, her face pale. She had made the wrong choice!

The Water Wizard was trembling all over; this was the outcome he least wanted to accept, and he was filled with resentment. The Saiyan Wizard beside him, however, remained calm. He gave the Water Wizard a deep look, sighed inwardly, shook his head, and accepted his death with equanimity.

The choice you make determines the consequences you face; this is one of the essential tenets of wizardry, something you know from the moment you become a wizard.

This is the price they are now paying.

The Ghostly Wizard and his companions were lucky; they managed to catch the last bit of the yellow ribbon and entered the dream space. Wang Ya glanced at them, his brow furrowing slightly, but he didn't refuse. The yellow ribbon enveloped them, and the group passed through layers of dream spaces, about to enter the dream world. In the reality of the Dark Land, Wang Ya's dream anchor points had completely vanished. Maple Forest, Heart Dream Lake, the Illusionary Dream Tree, and even the Illusionary Dream Tower had all disappeared without a trace, leaving only deep voids that testified to everything that had once been there.

"You stupid, lowly insects, trying to escape? Do you think I'll give you that chance?"

The people in the deep dream space, guided by the yellow passageway released by the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror, thought they were safe and became much more at ease.

Upon hearing this voice, his face turned deathly pale.

Are you kidding me?!

Holding the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror, at the forefront of the ribbon passage, Wang Ya's face was filled with shock, his pupils reflecting the enormous, dark hand that was constantly enlarging in front of him.

It encompasses all the deep dream spaces ahead, and every line on the palm is clearly visible.

At the same time, a huge, dark hand appeared from behind and covered everything.

Both the road ahead and the road behind were cut off.

Hans Christian Andersen wanted to annihilate them in this deep dream space as if he were swatting insects.

The power of the Level 3 Radiant Moon Wizard brought Wang Ya an unprecedented shock.

At this moment, he truly felt death before him. All sorts of past events flashed through his mind, and many scenes from his journey to becoming a wizard arose in his heart. A strong thought arose: if he had been better prepared, stronger, and more powerful, would this outcome have happened?

too weak!

He's too weak!

When faced with a truly powerful enemy, they have absolutely no ability to resist.

No matter how powerful external means are, they are still external means.

His strength is still very weak, extremely weak.

Suddenly, a pure golden light burst forth in this dream space, forming an incomparably majestic figure. Its aura was incredibly powerful, even comparable to the pair of dark, swaying hands that were striking out.

"My Nightmare Teacher, it seems I have to take action."

Lando the Wizard's voice appeared in Wang Ya's ears, but it was no longer lazy as before; instead, it was filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

"Now, leave immediately!"

"You're just a lowly immortal from a celestial realm, your broken primordial spirit is nothing compared to your true power. I might have thought more highly of you then. Leave me here!"

boom!

The dazzling light illuminated every corner of this dream space. The collision of power at the level of a Radiant Moon Wizard shattered everything, and the dream space collapsed. Various distorted and complex colors filled everything, like a paint bucket. Wang Ya and the others were stubbornly holding on in the stirring paint bucket.

Finally, under the pull of the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror on the Bubble World, Wang Ya unleashed his full power, consuming all the Nightmare Annihilation Dream Power beneath the Bubble World's ley lines, and broke free from this destroyed dream space.

Black and white bubbles floated in the sky, while black and white trees gently stretched their branches, the fruits hanging on them were actually small black and white bubbles, gleaming brightly and reflecting the many disheveled figures that appeared in this world.

Their breathing was disordered, they were extremely weak, and their faces still showed lingering fear; the fear and dread they felt were genuine.

They almost died, almost died in that destroyed dream space. If it weren't for that sudden appearance of golden light and the towering figure that materialized there, they really would have died there.

Some of the weaker apprentice wizards were on the verge of collapse, sprawled on the ground, venting their frustration, then suddenly bursting into silly laughter. Escaping from a level three Moonlit Wizard was a dream come true for them, an experience they would likely never forget.

The many events and experiences that occurred were nothing short of a dream for many formal wizards. Who could have imagined that an ancient being named "Andersen" would have planned so much, and that the process would be so tortuous and bizarre?

The wizards, having calmed down, began to observe the environment inside the bubble world and couldn't help but marvel at it. Few dream territories were as complete and vast as the bubble world, especially for dream wizards.

Polaris has also entered the Dream Garden; at least the Dream Wizard's dream territory is no match for the current Bubble World.

The Machine God Wizard and the Withered Wood Wizard rested silently, recovering their strength. The core members of the two main branches also rested around them.

Freddy the wizard was still shaken, patting his chest, with a group of core members of the potion lineage beside him.

The members of the Anton family sat on the ground, bewildered; their numbers were not many.

Because of his weak strength and the series of setbacks, Mas had already fainted on the ground. Mona was checking on him, and from among the many wizard rings on her hands, she selected one of them and took out a special item, which she gave to Mas to consume.

Only three members of the Stark family remained. Penny Stark's eyes were lifeless; he had suffered an unprecedented blow. Wizard Is stood alone in a corner, his facial features twitching, his inner emotions unrevealed, only silent with a downcast gaze.

Despite the series of setbacks, everyone managed to retain their last bit of spirit.

"It seems you've been preparing for this for a long time." The Ghostly Wizard looked at the enormous Dream Tower that had been moved to the Bubble World, as well as the large area of ​​maple trees and forest environment. In the center of the lake and island, the huge Dream Tree was very obvious.

"At least it's come in handy now, isn't it?" Wang Ya said, but his brows were furrowed as he pondered something.

"So what should we do next? This is your world." The words of the Ghostly Wizard also attracted the attention of everyone present. Her face was tired as she looked at Wang Ya seriously. She relinquished the initiative, making it very clear that she wanted Wang Ya to make the decision.

Wang Ya's eyes flickered, and she said directly, "I'm very unwilling to accept this."

"Hmm!" The Wizard of the Gloom sighed as he recalled Andersen's terrifying strength. "Do you have any way to stop him? No one can stop his strength, and I have lost the means to influence that level."

She was referring to that ancient book, which is now sealed within the Void Cube.

The purpose of splitting Andersen's soul was also to accumulate power and attempt to unleash the power of the fourth-level rules to break the Void Cube.

Therefore, he seems prepared to devour the entire land of mountains and seas.

"In a little over a day, he could devour most of the life force and souls in the entire Dark Land region. He has this ability. Andersen was at a very high level in his lifetime, perhaps more than a fourth-level wizard. It is highly possible that he could leverage this power to manipulate a bit of his own rule power."

The words of the Ghostlight Wizard were like cold, sharp swords, piercing everyone's hearts.

The difference in strength was something that even though everyone present had an indelible hatred for Andersen, they still couldn't overcome.

They are too weak.

Wizard Yi Si clenched his fist, then relaxed it. He stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice, "Leave. Leave the Land of Mountains and Seas. Increase your strength, increase it to the point where you can defeat him."

"That's right. The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on. Sooner or later, we will be able to settle our scores." The figure of the wizard Lando emerged from a black and white bubble. He looked very tired, with a pale face and golden eyes that were filled with dimness and weakness.

"My dear Nightmare Master, thank goodness you left me a way out, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by that guy today." Wizard Lando plopped down on the ground, lying face up, his chest heaving. "To help you, I poured my last bit of power into this."

Everyone was shocked, immediately thinking of that golden light.

The master who unleashed the power of a level three Moonlit Wizard was none other than Lando Wizard, who was known for his laziness.

The Ghostlight Wizard was also surprised, looking at him with astonishment, then at Wang Ya. She had heard the Lando Wizard address Wang Ya as "teacher." It seemed that the Nightmare Annihilation Wizard still harbored many secrets unknown to them.

However, everyone has their own secrets, and she knows her limits and won't do anything too outrageous.

"I agree with Wizard Yi's idea. Let's leave the Land of Mountains and Seas and come back to settle scores later. We don't have enough power to influence him anymore. I have left Andersen's aura behind, and I can use various methods to deduce his location as long as he still exists in this world."

Lando the Wizard suddenly became gloating, "But we can say we've won a preliminary victory. Nightmare Master, you're really amazing. You managed to seal his main soul. Now his split soul is jumping around like crazy, he's really desperate."

"Just watch. He's devoured so many wizards, even the lifeblood and ley line energy within the Underdark. Sooner or later, this will bring disaster. The members of the World Council of Stars, take note. Those guys won't allow such a mad old man to run around and act recklessly just to return. They're monitoring the entire wizarding world—no, it should be countless wizarding worlds. The current wizarding world is their backyard."

The Wizard of Shadows was quite surprised, because the information that the Wizard of Lando was about to share was something she did not know.

The wizards were also drawn in; the yearning for the unknown is an instinct in every wizard.

Wang Ya didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes. He knew what "countless wizarding worlds" meant. The Hanged King had popularized this knowledge before, and it was probably closely related to the multiverse and multidimensional universe.

Outer space, endless chaos, the myriad stars and seas. Different legendary civilizations have different names for it, but one thing is certain: only legendary civilizations can extend their reach throughout the multiverse.

In every large multiverse, there exists a wizarding world. Countless wizarding worlds and an endless number of wizards constitute the meaning of the word "wizard".

The legendary Great Expedition was once a time when powerful wizards unleashed their immense power, connecting all the multidimensional universes inhabited by wizards, and comprehensively invading more and more star-sea worlds, plundering the vast amounts of civilizational fruits that were like the sands of time.

That was once a celebration for all wizards, so much so that in some wizarding worlds that were too weak, powerful wizards from other wizarding worlds could go and help fight on their behalf. Of course, a considerable price had to be paid.

However, he hadn't heard much about the World Star Council, as it seemed to be a product of the era of the Hanged King.

In that era, there was only the Purge Conference. Almost every top wizard and powerful wizard in the wizarding world had a representative present, representing their respective wizarding world and responsible for conveying the will of the wizards.

It should just be a name change; the Purge Conference has become the World Stars Conference. Wang Ya frowned slightly, not delving into the details, as it was too far removed from his current concerns. The immediate trouble was Hans Christian Andersen.

"But where can we go if we leave this land of mountains and seas?" Mas woke up and said, bewildered.

These words silenced everyone present.

Yes!

Their roots, their family, friends, and everything they know are in the Dark Land. If they leave the Land of Mountains and Seas, or if the Dark Land disappears, where will they go?

Polaris, cradling the Netherworld Sword in his arms, coldly stated, "We should prepare ourselves for the destruction of the Underworld. Andersen will devour everyone."

"No, the Underdark has not been destroyed; at least we still exist." The Dark Wizard looked at Wang Ya.

The gazes of the other wizards present also turned towards this direction.

At present, it can be said that Wang Ya has become the right person to lead the team in their minds, and it can only be him.

This sense of trust stems from the Nightmare Wizard's past experiences.

"Leave, my Nightmare Master. Let's find a place to settle down first, and build a World Altar. Through altar transactions, we can gain resources and benefits," Wizard Lando advised. "There's a saying in the Celestial Realm civilization: 'Where there's life, there's hope.' With your potential, you can grow up and settle scores with Andersen, achieving your revenge."

"No!" Wang Ya raised his head at this moment, his flashing eyes fixed on the spot, filled with extremely obvious killing intent.

"I can't wait that long. There are too many unknowns in the future. The unknown is the variable. I can't accept letting such an enemy live, or even grow stronger and regain his strength from when he was alive."

"But we don't have the means to influence it."

"I have it!!" Wang Ya's voice was resolute, his eyes filled with determination.

For this, any price is worth paying. Compared to the cost, killing Andersen, destroying and erasing everything about him, and settling this hatred is the most important thing.

He never left any hidden dangers, and he had a habit of seeking revenge overnight.

Lando the Wizard was stunned, looking at Wang Ya in surprise, "My Nightmare Master, perhaps you really can do it, and maybe even bring about a miracle."

"However, I'm also a little curious. What kind of method can achieve what you described, eliminating all hidden dangers?"

Wang Ya remained expressionless and uttered five words: "World-Destroying Meteor Cannon".

Lando the Wizard's smile froze. His expression went blank for a moment, then his pupils dilated, and his eyes almost popped out.

His voice became shrill with excitement, "What did you say? The World-Destroying Meteor Cannon!!"

"You have the World-Destroying Meteor Cannon!!"

P.S.: There's one more chapter, I think.
