Wizards pursue the truth

Cyber ​​City.

At the center stands a metallic, fluid tower, its neon lights shimmering and shifting with the transmission of energy. Aircraft approaching this area deliberately lower their altitude, and the artificially created clouds and mist add a touch of ethereal beauty to the natural environment.

Inside the top floor, wizards stood solemnly on either side of a red carpet made of the fur of second-tier extraordinary creatures, their heads bowed, seemingly ready to wait.

The wizard standing at the forefront, with short purple hair, a hooked nose, and triangular eyes, appeared and was indeed a formidable figure, yet he now displayed an unprecedented humility. If outsiders were to witness this, it would likely cause quite a stir.

The Sword Dragon Wizard, who always keeps his word and does not tolerate any disobedience, possesses immense strength and holds a prestigious position as the lord of Cyber ​​City.

Even if they meet the leader of a faction in the online region, they won't show much emotion or give him a friendly look.

The space rippled like a vortex, and a figure in a pale red wizard's robe stepped out, revealing a long, voluptuous leg clad in stockings.

No one dared to make a move. Upon smelling the faint fragrance, their expressions became even more serious and tense, and they lowered their heads even further.

Her boots were made of blue crystal, through which her slender feet could be vaguely seen, and her toes were painted with red paint.

When she fully emerged, her silver hair cascaded down her back, with a few strands falling onto her shoulders.

The Silversea Wizard's clear eyes were as gentle as water. His long, slender, white fingers gently brushed his hair back. His thin lips, painted with dark lipstick, curved slightly upwards. "Little Stegosaurus, it's been over a thousand years since we last met, hasn't it?"

Her gaze fell on the leading sword dragon wizard, who trembled and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Silver Sea Wizard, no matter how many years have passed, the sword dragon is still the same sword dragon as before, and there will be no change. My respect for you, Silver Sea Wizard, remains as strong as ever."

The Silver Sea Wizard's hands fell to his sides, but a sea-blue book floated nearby, emitting a faint ripple of light. In the glow, one could almost hear the sound of waves crashing, and a continuous stream of water vapor emanated from it.

"Alright, Sword Dragon, I understand. No need for formalities." The Silver Sea Wizard chuckled. "I've come here to take care of something."

"If there's anything that requires your personal attention, Lord Silversea Wizard, you can simply leave it to Sword Dragon."

Sword Dragon Wizard looked surprised, bowed slightly, and looked at Silver Sea Wizard with sincerity in his eyes.

"It was just a sudden whim." The Silver Sea Wizard seemed to have thought of something, and his smile deepened. "You need to take charge of this matter and inform the leaders of the Western Frontier forces, such as the Royal Palace and the Ancient Heart, to arrive at Cyber ​​City within three days."

"No need to notify the new forces with a fighting spirit."

"Lord Silversea Wizard, has this force offended you?" Sword Dragon Wizard asked in a calm tone after considering his words for a moment.

As a member of the Crimson Society, he knew that the Heart of Conquest seemed to have some connection with the Society, but he did not know that it was related to the Grand Wizard.

If the Grand Wizard of the Moonlit Academy has any ideas and wants to suppress someone, he will not hesitate to side with him and carry them out on his behalf.

"No, it's just that I wanted to conduct a test."

The Silver Sea Wizard thought to himself, "That old bastard, the Emperor, is spouting all sorts of nonsense. If the wizards in the online region are really that powerful, what's the point of sending just one person? Something this interesting definitely needs multiple people involved."

"Among the various wizarding factions in the online region, there are certainly wizards who meet the criteria for competing for a spot, but the Crimson Society only needs the strongest one. Karina's side is being trained and selected by Wizard Aisha. The Royal Wizard has also chosen his candidate, so naturally I should also make a selection."

The Silver Sea Wizard's robes drooped down, his palms and fingers lightly touching his sides, and he was in a very pleasant mood.

She has decided to select from various wizarding factions in the online region, not just one, but to select qualified individuals from each faction through internal competition before sending them to the Crimson Society for a chance to compete.

Let's see if your choice, Your Majesty the Wizard, was correct.

The choice made by the Wizard Ashe was successful.

Or perhaps it's her unique perspective and approach to the silver market.

The Grand Wizard wants to defeat Wizard Aisha because of some disputes from the past.

The Silver Sea Wizard found the matter very interesting. She was also competitive and wanted to see how the other two would react when they won the bet, as outsiders.

"Lord Silversea Wizard, Sword Dragon understands and will complete the task you assigned as quickly as possible."

The Sword Dragon Wizard performed a standard wizarding ritual, following behind the Silver Sea Grand Wizard, walking slowly down the red carpet until the Silver Sea Grand Wizard entered the deepest, most central space of the tower.

This is a special world, not very big, with a white sky, without any clouds, sun or moon, only pure white, with ripples like waves.

The light illuminates every corner of the world, and the earth is covered with gardens that resemble flowerbeds, covering a vast and expansive area. Numerous trees stand like guards, surrounding these special plots of land.

The trees were also peculiar, filled with bizarre shapes, without any clear form. Black light shimmered on the surface of the bark, seemingly possessing a certain spirituality, with eyeballs that blinked as if they were eyes of surveillance.

A cobblestone path meandered through the area, and three figures walked one after the other, each carrying a watering can. They wore white lab coats, masks, and hats that covered their uniform long blue hair.

"The Nightmare Wizard needs to plant a new batch of dream seeds. The dream soil needs to be loose and the soil needs to be moist."

Asuna, the last pureblood of the Night Moon Elf, has long lost her former innocence and naivety; her beautiful face is always tinged with sorrow.

"Watering is like fertilizing, but be careful. The liquid inside is made of consciousness and soul. If it splashes onto your body, it may cause mental confusion or even affect your self."

She was explaining the precautions to her people with a very serious expression.

Each time you loosen the soil in the dream soil and fertilize the dream seeds, it's like a dangerous test.

If any step in the process goes wrong or is incorrect, it will cause setbacks in the growth of the dream seed, and the nutritional level of the dream soil also needs to be maintained at a certain standard.

On the white soil, the planted branches twist and turn like miniature human torsos, with arms and heads blooming into a strange flower bud, and the dream seed is the object in the very center that looks like a black gem.

A black liquid the size of a thumb dripped from a watering can that also resembled a human flesh and blood limb. The spout resembled a mouth in a biological sense, with a ring-shaped opening of teeth, and an internal oral cavity serving as a conduit; there were no other facial features or head, but rather an elongated neck, with folded and turned arm bones forming a handle; the bloated abdomen served as a reservoir, its surface covered with a layer of oily black membrane.

Chi Chi!

Black smoke billowed up, and the billowing gas twisted and formed a menacing figure with bared teeth and claws. It roared angrily and venomously at Asuna, who was watering the plants, "Damn woman, do you know how much pain I'm in? I'm going to make you die, and suffer this eternal torment just like me."

"Your Highness."

The two Night Moon Elves standing behind Asuna looked panicked.

"It's alright, Dan and Xia. You've just been resurrected from the Nightmare Wizard's dreamland, and you haven't been watered or irrigated many times yet. This is normal. Just stay calm and don't panic."

Asuna remained calm, her eyes unwavering, watching the black, smoky soul rush towards her. A powerful mental force stirred up a gust of wind, ruffling her hair and the hem of her white lab coat.

A powerful consciousness and soul possess greater plasticity, existence, and residual power. This was something the Nightmare Wizard had already instructed her to do when she made her the experimental administrator of the Nightmare Dream Realm.

There are also relevant regulations for managing Dream Soil, rules for cultivating Dream Soil, and precautions for watering and irrigation.

"No matter how powerful you were in your previous life, once you enter the Mirror Realm, there will only be one outcome: you will become part of the nourishment for the Dream Land."

"Accept your fate," Asuna said calmly.

"Woman, woman with elven blood, die!"

The black smoke humanoid was about to break through the safety zone, but the drop of thick, viscous black liquid had already sunk into the white dream soil. The blooming flesh and blood dream seed flower trembled, radiating indescribable waves, as if it were a unique attraction targeting the black smoke humanoid.

The next moment, at the instant the suction force exploded, the black smoke humanoid was irresistibly absorbed by the flower of flesh and blood, and the black gem in the center of the flower bud shone even brighter.

"It's not just your destiny that's predetermined, but also the fate of those beings who are even more powerful than you; their destiny is still inevitably to become fertilizer."

"Perhaps we shouldn't have become enemies of the Nightmare Wizard in the first place." Asuna's gaze turned to the center of the Dreamland region, where the five largest flesh flowers were almost a thousand meters in size; their bodies were bound and pierced by black roots and vines, but their heads and faces were enough to fill the former members of the Pale Hand Wizards with terror and despair.

Those were the five Star Wizards of the Pale Hand.

Their souls lost their sense of self, were stripped of all memories and valuable knowledge, and became nourishment for the greatest dream seed flower in the Dreamland.

The black gem at the center of the flower bud was almost coalescing into a concrete human form.

This is the best resurrection dream seed, enough to resurrect a wizard at the level of the stars.

Wizards at the Radiant Moon level might also be able to be resurrected.

The two Nightmoon Elves, after their rebirth, gave themselves new names.

Dan said, "Your Highness, please leave this kind of thing to Xia and me next time. The potential risks are still too great."

Asuna became serious. "Dan, Xia, remember this: in the eyes of the Nightmare Wizard, everyone has their own value. What we need to do is increase our value so that we can get more support from the Nightmare Wizard."

"Understood, Your Highness."

"The Nightmare Wizard has given us new life, though it is merely a transaction, and the price is not commensurate. If the Nightmare Wizard needs anything, we will do everything in our power to help."

Dan and Xia's eyes were filled with determination, as if they had been infected by the charisma of the Nightmare Wizard.

Essentially, those who have undergone the resurrection of the Dream Seed will have an innate affinity for the bubble world related to the essential nature of the Dream Seed, and will naturally have an inexplicable trust in the Lord of the Bubble.

Asuna's face also showed relief as she nodded and said, "The temporary suspension of the Moon Goddess Rule Bloodline Research Project does not mean that Lord Nightmare Wizard will abandon this project. It will be completed one day. We just need to wait patiently."

"The wisdom and power of the Nightmare Wizard will lead us to a new era of glory for the Night Moon Elves."

"What we need to do, besides taking good care of the Mirror Realm, is to improve each other's strength and become the wizard community."

Asuna's palm glowed with the pure white light of dream power, reflecting on her beautiful face. "How about the name Elf Wizard? The Night Moon Elves have never existed before. I have embarked on the path of a wizard."

"The Nightmare Wizard has conscientiously created a wizard meditation method for me, based on my previous extraction and research into the bloodline of the Nightmoon Elves. Although its grade is not very high, and it can only meditate to outline nine Nightmoon Wizard runes, it is a groundbreaking product that can enhance the bloodline power and bloodline concentration within each Nightmoon Elf."

Dan and Xia looked surprised. Although they were no longer pure Nightmoon Elves after their rebirth, their souls and consciousness remained those of the Nightmoon Elves they once were. Therefore, they knew that even at their peak, the only item that could enhance the power of their bloodline was the Star Tear, a royal heirloom that could only be inherited by one person per generation, and that person was destined to be the Elf King.

Many elders and wise men of the Night Moon Elf have tried every means to enhance their bloodline power, but none have found a specific direction or method.

But the Nightmare Wizard did it, he did something unprecedented.

"We firmly believe that this day will come, Your Highness, as long as Lord Nightmare Wizard stands behind us."

Xia and Dan exchanged a glance, both with only one thought in their minds.

Enhancing value refers not only to the value of the Nightmoon Elf race itself, but also to the value inherent in the Nightmoon Elf race, which makes the Nightmare Wizard feel that investing research efforts in it is worthwhile.

Whoosh!

The ocean stretches to the horizon, with waves crashing one after another. Dreamlike birds and creatures soar in the sky, emitting clear calls. A figure with black and white wings can be vaguely seen, playing and frolicking happily within the water.

The ocean depths are dark and profound, with enormous trees supporting the sky and dividing day and night—evolved from the Nightmare Dream Pagoda Realm. The Nightmare Dream Grand Wizard put in considerable effort to create this unique environment.

The island beneath the giant Nightmare Tree is home to a legendary civilization, and the Daoist temples of earth immortals and celestial immortals who are comparable to stars and the moon.

[Objective: To incinerate the Dao through the seamless blend of reality and illusion]

Current progress: 92%

[Preset Traits: Endless Void Flame, Extreme Annihilation Flame, Controller of the Burning Path]

"It's almost there, almost there. Just a little bit more and it will be fully manifested. It's happening faster than I expected; only a little over two years have passed."

Dressed in a black wizard's robe, Wang Ya sat by the window in his study on the top floor of a tower deep in the island. An excited smile appeared on his fair and handsome face. The salty sea breeze blew his white hair. However, his pupils not only had the white arc of light that represented the Eye of Truth, but also the strange manifestation of the second Nightmare Petal.

It was a destructive aura hidden beneath the pulsating white arc of light, detectable by some perceptive wizards. The black luster reflected in their pupils created a scene that connected to another terrifying world.

P.S.: To adjust my biological clock, I only slept for two and a half hours during the day. I can't take it anymore, so I'm going to sleep now. There will be fewer updates today, but I'll try to update earlier tomorrow. Goodnight. (End of Chapter)
