Wizards pursue the truth

I look forward to your performance.

The wizard Ash reached out, and an invisible force acted on the black-gold Proto-Bird egg, which was entirely black and resembled metal.

It floated and landed in my palm.

During this process, the black-gold Archaeopteryx egg also continued to shrink, as if that invisible force possessed the characteristic of biological volume compression.

"There is still plenty of time. A thousand years is the time for the extraordinary individuals participating in the Star Battle Tournament. However, due to the special environment, the flow of time is not the same for each of them. It is divided into different regions, and the time of arrival is not a fixed number of about a thousand years."

The wizard Ash stored the bird egg in the sleeve of his robe.

"A Dream Wizard in its flowering period, with four Phantom Petals, is not much different from the seed candidates of the other four major wizarding forces. Moreover, you have an advantage in the quality of the Phantom Petals."

"Do your best to show your value, Karina. Opportunities like the Star Battle Tournament don't come around every day. If you can catch their eye, your future will extend far beyond this Wizarding World homeworld."

Wizard Ash chuckled, "If it weren't for the restrictions, I might have been tempted to attend this unprecedented event."

Ripples spread through the space as the red-robed wizard stepped into them.

Karina murmured to herself, "Teacher Starry Sky, I won't let you down. Four petals aren't my limit; I can reach even higher."

——Nightmare Floating Pagoda Realm

Deep within the island, a towering black pillar of fire pushed through the clouds, creating an extremely hot radiation zone, and the temperature continued to rise over time.

Chi Chi!

The water vapor began to evaporate, and even the black ocean seemed to be dropping in level.

The temperature rise was not just around the island, but the entire world. It seemed that the black pillar of flame was just a facade, and that invisible, intangible flames covered an even farther area. The aftershocks of the burning caused all the water in the world to evaporate.

The black pillars of fire began to separate, revealing a figure dressed in a black robe, with white hair flying in the wind, and black eyes that seemed to contain the mystery and vastness of the starry sky.

"Disperse."

Wang Ya uttered a soft voice, and the invisible fire that had affected the entire world vanished. The black flames merged into his fingertips and disappeared completely.

"This is the controller of the Burning Dao, who perfectly masters the Endless Flame of the Void and the Extreme Flame of Annihilation."

"The second phantom petal is finally complete."

[Objective: The Nightmare Annihilation and Witch Body Shaping Project]

[Status: Phase Two Completed]

【Nightmare Flower: Black and White Monarch Blood Emperor Raven, Impenetrable Flame of Annihilation】

[The Controller of the Burning Path: You can perceive, understand, and to a certain extent control and absorb all fire-related substances, including illusions, by harnessing the power of black and white fire, and by controlling and governing other fires to form the Body of the Burning Path.]

"Twenty years have passed, and there's only twelve o'clock left. Time is running out, so we need to hurry."

White arcs of light danced in his black eyes.

His core data of Nightmare Annihilation Dream has emerged.

[Target: Nightmare Dream Core]

[Current stage: Flowering stage (8%)]

[Special Abilities: Bubble Core World (Secondary Ecological Cycle Balance - Top-Tier), Nightmare Annihilation Defense Field (Bubble World Defense System), Nightmare Annihilation Energy Vein Network (Converts different energies into Nightmare Annihilation Dream Power and stores them; supports reversing the conversion of corresponding special extraordinary energy units, providing input and output, and enabling the casting of other systems of witchcraft in different worlds)]

Wang Ya successfully broke through to the flowering stage when she condensed the first petal.

The period from flowering to fruiting is also a relatively long time.

It is related to the specific Dream Wizard individual and the Dream Wizard path they choose.

The continuous shaping of the petals also accelerates the growth period for flowering. Choosing to flower a single petal does not necessarily result in a longer growth period than the former.

Even after reaching the Radiant Moon level, the process still requires a long time to accumulate and grow, or other methods to accelerate the process.

Of course, if a wizard chooses multiple vision petals, and does not have a thorough understanding of the specific vision when manifesting it, the time spent will be greater than that of a dream wizard with only a few petals.

The power of the Dream Wizard is built upon the three extraordinary petals, which are almost at their limit, and the exact time spent on their growth is unknown.

As the petals are shaped, the Dream Flower will bloom to its most brilliant and beautiful moment. At this time, it can bear fruit, and everything will blend together to grow and develop into a Dream Fruit.

The cost of a failed breakthrough is extremely high; consciousness and the soul will perish, and the mortality rate for the individual exceeds 80%.

There's a saying that the more petals a dream wizard has, the deeper their foundation, and the higher their success rate in breaking through will be compared to a dream wizard with fewer petals.

The seed of the Dream Wizard system, from flowering to fruiting, is like the cycle of a real plant. However, the fruiting of a Dream Wizard represents another transformation, a new life, which is a different dimension from the flowering period.

Of course, that level is still some distance from Wang Ya's. It's impossible for the thirteen petals to fully manifest in just twenty years.

There are many things about the thirteen petals of the Nightmare Flower that Wang Ya cannot fully understand at present.

For example, the power at the level of rules, abnormal items, etc. Wang Ya's subsequent progress in extraordinary phenomena will eventually slow down unless there is a major breakthrough in experimental research on rules.

The split-body journey to the Night Moon Elf Treasury, where the Eye of Truth divides the rules into their smallest units, is an effort made by Wang Ya.

Every aspect is progressing; we'll see how things go from here.

The next petal, the one Wang Ya prepared, was a phenomenon related to the Nightmare Annihilation Ball Lightning and the Magnetic Silence Lightning Sword.

This is also extraordinary knowledge that he has thoroughly understood, and it was entirely created by him.

However, before proceeding with the Nightmare Flower project, he needs to meet with someone first.

The request was made by the other party, on the grounds that it was related to the "Grand Wizard of the Emperor".

Boom boom boom!

Just as Wang Ya had calculated the exact moment, a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in."

The person who pushed open the door was a tall young wizard with short, fiery red hair, wearing a red wizard's robe. He looked reserved and bowed as he entered, keeping his head down and not raising his eyes to look at the Nightmare Wizard.

This is a fairly standard wizarding ritual in the Frostlands.

There are subtle differences compared to the wizarding rituals of the Underdark in the past.

I thought you would wait a while longer.

Wang Ya said with a smile.

The red-robed, red-haired wizard wore a wry smile; the master before him had probably already noticed his unusual behavior.

Otherwise, why was he the only one left on the island among this group of wizard apprentices, while the rest returned to reality and joined the war effort?

The reason given was that the island was too empty and needed a daily wizard to monitor and maintain it... The raven and the black-faced masked creature were far more powerful than him, and besides, this world was probably under the control of the Nightmare Wizard, so why would he need to maintain it?

"Ze Tian Alpha, one of the 50th pillars of the Crimson Society, an apprentice of the Ultimate Wizard, was sent by the Grand Wizard of the Emperor to the Pale Hand for an undercover surveillance project... Ze Tian greets the Grand Wizard of Nightmare."

Red was afraid the red-haired wizard would confess directly and grant leniency, so she looked at the great being who controlled this world with expectant eyes.

"Tell me about everything concerning the Crimson Society. I'm very curious about it."

Wang Ya was able to obtain some of the memories in the other party's mind by observing some of their thoughts and emotions; in the end, he gave the Venerable Emperor Wizard face and refrained from directly spying on him.

Ze Tian nodded in agreement, "I will tell Lord Nightmare Wizard everything I know."

"The Crimson Society consists of seventy-two Crimson Pillars and seven Holy Pillars. Each pillar is composed of a vast amount of folded space, covering an immense area. It houses not only various wizards conducting experiments but also a massive number of mortals. Every so often, new blood with wizarding potential is detected by the extraordinary fluctuations and radiation of the Crimson Society's wizard array..."

"The three great wizards, the Supreme Emperor Wizard and the Silver Sea Wizard, have never taken on any disciples. Only the decision-maker, the Crimson Wizard, has a true disciple named 'Karina El,' who is extremely powerful and walks the dual paths of dream wizard and bloodline wizard. Many true spirit wizards have asserted that Karina has the potential to shoulder the responsibilities of the Crimson Wizard and continue the Crimson Society."

While Zetian was still talking, Wang Ya made some judgments based on the information he had learned.

The high-ranking wizard of the Crimson Society's assertion... to a certain extent confirms that Karina El is guaranteed at least one Grand Wizard achievement.

"There are many other powerful wizards, some of whom have reached the Star Wizard level at an incredibly young age." Ze Tian's face also showed some confusion. "It seems that those young Star Wizards are preparing for something and have been training hard... Nightmare Wizard, that's all the information I have."

The information Zetian mentioned was not a secret; in fact, many wizarding factions had backup records of the relevant information, making it a semi-public matter.

Wang Ya knew about the Star Battle Tournament, which was highly confidential and high-level information... information that only high-level wizards could know, and Ze Tian had not yet reached that level.

"You have two choices: stay in the Heart of Conquest for the remaining 12 years, or stay on the island continent... After 12 years, I will go to the Crimson Academy, and you may come with me."

"Thank you, Nightmare Wizard. I choose to return to reality."

Ze Tian was extremely humble, bowing his head and looking intently at the boots on the feet of the Nightmare Grand Wizard.

Why would the Nightmare Wizard go to the Crimson Society...? He didn't want to know the details; the less he knew, the safer he was.

With this promise from the Nightmare Wizard, he should be able to return to the Crimson Academy safely and alive.

"Can!"

Ripples spread through the space, like a whirlpool, engulfing Zetian.

A thoughtful look appeared in Wang Ya's eyes. It seemed that there were still quite a few challenges ahead if he wanted to obtain those benefits.

Within the Scarlet Society, the competition for a spot must be extremely fierce.

He wasn't under too much pressure. If he couldn't even crush his competitors within the Crimson Society, how could he possibly shine at the All-Star Battle Tournament?

[Strength: Level Two Star Wizard]

Current mental strength: 182

Current physical condition: 184

[True Spirit Mark: Nightmare]

[Special Talent: Primal Strength and Witch Body]

Number of fission fire cores: 365

【The Meditation Method for Destroying Illusions and Realities: (36/36)】

[Current active neurons: 45%]

[Current energy life form: 22%]

The data has changed in all aspects. The "Illusory and Real Nightmare Annihilation Meditation Method" can improve Wang Ya's individual abilities and promote overall improvement.

I'm not far from meeting the requirements for the third level of Elemental Wizard, the Radiant Moon rank.

Wang Ya still hasn't given up, and still wants to advance to the Radiant Moon level before the start of the Star Battle Tournament.

True Spirit Wizards have little chance of competing in the Star Battle Tournament and are destined to be eliminated.

The Star Wizard is quite competitive, but within the Heart of Conquest, only the Blood Wizard and the Dark Wizard are truly formidable. Polaris doesn't even qualify; the True Spirit Wizard only possesses the combat power of a Star Wizard thanks to the Netherworld Sword.

During the Star Battle Tournament, it seems that the use of external objects such as magical artifacts and magical arrays is not allowed; one can only rely on the power of the wizard himself.

The age of the Divine Blood Wizard and the Dark Wizard exceeded the selection requirements of the Star Battle Tournament.

However, at the level of a True Spirit Wizard, it is difficult to be competitive.

It's quite normal that their fighting spirit and resources can't compare to the five councils of Frost and Snow.

Perhaps even some online wizarding factions have not yet been able to reach it.

It will take time to digest the essence of the Pale Hand.

What surprised Wang Ya the most was the change in the active neurons, which seemed to correspond exactly to dreams and illusions. Each time a petal was transformed and manifested, the progress was greatly accelerated.

His intelligence, thinking, and computing power are estimated to be comparable to the supercomputers of some technological civilizations.

"I have successfully meditated and sketched out the 36 wizard runes for the Illusionary Nightmare Annihilation Meditation Technique. It's time to complete the pre-set idea."

By integrating the Nightmare Annihilation Wizard Rune into the Fission Fire Core, a special Nightmare Annihilation Fire Core Rune is created. This transforms one's elemental true form into a rune true form, resulting in a qualitative change compared to the original Fission Core Energy Body, making it far more terrifying and powerful.

Furthermore, because the Nightmare Annihilation Wizard Rune serves as a replacement node for the Fission Fire Core to connect and resonate, it becomes more cyclical, balanced, and stable, and spontaneously absorbs all external energy and matter to sustain the combat consumption of the elemental energy true body.

The illusory and real nightmare annihilation is itself an improvement product that conforms to the balance of all aspects.

"Perhaps the name should be changed as well."

—The illusion and reality obliterate the true form.

The new name that Wang Ya gave it.

The most crucial point lies in his idea of ​​a third reality-balancing witch body.

His attempt was to complete the transformation of the "Distinct Reality and Reality Nightmare Annihilation" method.

According to the speculation of the Eye of Truth.

The key to achieving a balanced sorcerer's body in reality lies in the sorcerer's meditation method, fission fire core, fission nuclear energy body, and fusion atomic state.

[Target: Destroy the true form through illusion and illusion]

[Computing power used: Level 1]

[Details: The Illusory and Real Nightmare Annihilation Meditation Method is recreated, and the Illusory and Real Nightmare Annihilation runes are evolved into the corresponding number of Illusory and Real Nightmare Annihilation Fire Cores, thus reconstructing the true form of the elements.]

As for the spiritual sea losing the solidification of the illusory and real nightmare runes, its guarding is handed over to the final nightmare dream witch body to replace it.

The primordial power of the sorcerer's body represents the physical form and has already completed its guardianship.

The corresponding illusory Nightmare Body of Destruction should naturally be grounded in the spiritual sea of ​​illusion.

The third shamanic body, corresponding to balance, is the extraordinary particle energy born from the fusion of illusion and physical reality.

The last layer of computing power is left, which Wang Ya intends to reserve for the Crimson Society. It will be used to collect and analyze a large amount of extraordinary knowledge passed down within the society, enriching the database.

"If everything goes as I predicted, the progress of energy life transformation is also related to the balance of the witch body corresponding to the illusory and real nightmare true body."

Wang Ya stood up from his chair, and just as he was about to leave for the real world, a strange feeling stirred within him.

这 是

He suddenly laughed, and ripples spread through the space, engulfing him and changing his direction and location.

It is no longer the desire for real-world conquest.

Rather, it exists in a bubble world.

It was as if the projections of the Nightmare Dream Pagoda Realm and the Bubble World were connected. Although the Nightmare Dream Ancient Tree was not as vast as it was in that other world of consciousness, it still supported the world of the Bubble World.

A figure in black robes had been waiting under the tree for quite some time.

P.S.: I'm so sorry, I fell asleep last night. I'm really exhausted. I'll make up for it today, and there will be at least another 4,000 words later. (End of Chapter)
