Wizards pursue the truth

If given another chance, Wang Ya would most likely still choose to experience three deaths to witness the essence of consciousness.

He did indeed come to some realizations.

The future path has a direction, so we won't be completely lost.

The white jade steps, exquisite and beautiful, are reflected in the twilight. When the complete wave of consciousness is completed, one receives information and cognition from the outside world and steps onto the shore.

Wang Ya was slow to realize what was happening, his expression numb. He had not fully recovered from the death and desolation, and had no recollection of how he got to the shore or the trials he had overcome.

Looking back, the black and white bridge stood on the chaotic mist, the black water rippling, seemingly unable to hold on and beginning to sink.

There were still many creatures above. Wang Ya saw the ugly expressions on their faces before they were swallowed up by the black water of the void without a sound.

Losers have no chance of getting out.

Standing on the shore, Wang Ya was filled with emotion. He thought to himself, "A test of consciousness, devoid of feeling, is either passed or failed. It doesn't necessarily mean it requires enduring a long period of loneliness and torment to pass."

There are many others like him who have come ashore. After all, they are beings from billions of races. The thousands of worlds in the initial star field stand outside the world, or are attached to the world's secret realms, planes, and small worlds, which are countless.

Overall, the world with Star Core Cities is the true dominant force.

Within the initial star field, Wang Ya's home planet was the sole center of this myriad worlds.

The person who came ashore was not yet used to the experience, and was still shaken as they recovered from the test in the world of consciousness.

They stood frozen in place, lost in thought.

The focus remains on those few individuals from powerful factions.

Upon reaching the shore at the same time, they walked confidently towards the depths of the white jade steps, where they encountered five imposing figures standing in the center of the platform.

His aura was grand and lofty, as if he were the center of the world just by standing there.

It stands above the world, beyond our comprehension and observation.

Even if you try to explore with your spiritual senses, all you get is emptiness.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Wang Ya could feel someone watching him, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

It should be said that everyone who came ashore was observed.

Wang Ya looked at the five figures, turning his head. One of them had a bad expression and frowned. His emotions affected his reality, and a scene of collapse appeared around him, with an extreme icy storm rising up, which was then calmed down by an even more supreme power.

"Welcome, qualifiers, to the true stage of the Star Lord Tournament, the Star Core Palace."

The Tide Wizard stepped forward, his tone carrying a unique charm that brought many of the contestants, who were still lost in confusion, back to their normal rationality and turned their gaze toward him.

"Next, you will complete the most important part here and determine your ranking in the Star Master Tournament. Only the top 100 will be ranked."

The Tide Wizard's lips curled into a smile. "In other words, all beings outside the top 100 will be eliminated. Of course, if your potential and value are recognized, you will also have opportunities."

Within the observation space, the consciousness entities that exist are all part of an opportunity. If their original environment does not provide good nurturing, they will possess value and be able to rise to a higher level of power.

Similarly, for all major powers and races, as long as they are marked on the Star Core City's "Network," they will participate in the changes regarding resources and interests.

The existence of the internet has encompassed some things, changed some things, and also solidified some things.

This peculiar change is a patch-like external rule.

The exact source is unknown. Although the Tide Wizard is a star lord, he is merely an incumbent, performing his duties and obtaining some benefits.

To be more specific, it is divided into different marked areas of power: the outer area, the inner area, and the core area. These represent different goals achieved by the seeds, and the changes they receive are also different.

The universe outside the original ancient star, including secret realms and planes, also has its own rules, all of which are included in the network.

The network can encompass everything, but it cannot represent everything. There are always entities and forces outside the network, and there are also those not within its sphere of influence. At its core, it has not yet reached the level of understanding the "network," let alone qualifying for the Star Battle Tournament.

If Wang Ya knew these secrets, he would probably understand that the forces of the former Mountain and Sea Continent, the Dark Land, and the Natural Ring Tower were simply those that were not at a high enough level.

On the surface, the existence of the internet is absolute authority, and its rules are beyond question.

The Tide Wizard continued to explain the rules, "Upon entering the Starry Sky Trial Arena, you will be engaged in battle with creatures of different levels in the conventional sense. The more times you win, the more powerful the creatures will become."

"Only after achieving one hundred victories can one enter the top 100 of the Star Lord Tournament and continue to the remaining Star Arena battles to complete the ranking battles."

The many people who came ashore had different expressions and their eyes were shifty.

The black and white wizards then interjected, "To put it simply, there are still too many of you, so many that I'm tired of seeing you. We need to eliminate another batch of weaker people."

"If your potential is insufficient and your knowledge base is inadequate, you won't make it to the end. If this batch of beings is too weak, and the number of beings who achieve 100 wins in the end is insufficient to satisfy 100 people, then the subsequent Star Arena will still be based on those who have advanced."

The words of the black and white wizards were harsh, causing some of the people who had come ashore to show displeasure and feel unhappy.

Having gone through trials and tribulations, eliminating so many lives, and reaching this point today, every person who has made it ashore feels proud.

They all felt they had something unique about them, something different from others.

Who is the "weakling" mentioned by the Black and White Wizards?

They absolutely did not consider themselves one of them, and their eyes immediately turned cold.

He subconsciously looked around at the other people who had come ashore.

The Grand Wizard of Judgment stepped forward, blue light emanating from his palm, gradually forming an ice rune that flew out and landed in the void in front of him.

Click!

The sound of the void collapsing echoed as an ancient, blood-stained trial platform fell to the ground. Starlight particles surged and rippled, and the pungent smell of blood caused many who had come ashore to change their expressions slightly.

"You can all go in at the same time. It contains multiple self-contained spaces. After you have won a hundred rounds, you can come out."

"The future you seek is also within it," the Grand Wizard of Decisive Law said calmly.

Grand Wizard Yuan Gu chuckled, arms crossed, "Little ones, you don't have much time left, only ten minutes. You can hold off for now, but you'll still have to go in eventually."

"Or you can back down and choose to leave; your escape route lies in the starry sky behind you."

"Falling in will allow you to return to the world, the plane, you came from."

The Great Wizard of Red Leaf remained silent, his gaze fixed on the two chosen individuals.

"Cosmic Wizard" and "Divine Punishment Wizard"

He also glanced discreetly at 'Nightmare Wizard' and 'Shunyi'.

Of the three predetermined objectives, only one came in handy, but at least it served its purpose.

In addition, he was scanning the entire group of people who had come ashore, trying to find anything unusual.

The tremor of the net was not an accident.

Everyone wants to find the reason, or that an external force has intervened and discovered clues.

Not only him, but also the other great wizards did the same, observing carefully to varying degrees.

Ultimately, nothing unusual was found.

Just let it go.

"The road is right in front of you. Whether you continue or turn back is your own choice."

The High Wizard of Tide raised his right hand, and a stone platform rose up before him, upon which floated three orbs of light containing countless colors. Everyone looked at them instinctively, drawn in, their eyes widening as if they were witnessing the magnificence of a world contained within: the existence of billions of races, the development of the world's material foundation, and the condensation of the illusory spiritual realm.

"This is..." Wang Ya was equally drawn in, staring blankly at it, already having the answer in his heart.

"Absolutely no mistake, a world core, an extremely high-grade world core, and a world core still in its embryonic stage."

Wang Ya was unable to remain calm.

The Legendary Path series of extraordinary potions allowed him to bypass the long period of wizarding accumulation.

The spiritual and physical levels are rapidly elevated.

Otherwise, given his background in the outer regions, he simply couldn't compare to the young beings in the inner and core areas at the same time.

The future is unpredictable; we may be able to catch up, but ultimately it will take time.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

The price of the legendary path is that the improvement of one's strength is restricted in almost every aspect.

The only way to continue improving is by relying on the Legendary Path Potion until you break through to the Sun Rule level.

Wang Ya has been at the edge of the starry plane for some time now.

Limited to embryonic products from the world's core.

Its quality is exceptionally high; it would be impossible for it to be born in an ordinary world or dimensional realm.

In any world with an embryo, at the level of the extraordinary system, the upper limit can almost always give birth to the Radiant Moon level.

Wang Ya himself is only at the Starry Sky level, and he needs the World Embryo to break through to the Radiant Moon level, which creates a paradox.

You can only break through something if you have it first.

Only after making a breakthrough can we have the confidence and ability to cope with challenges.

"Perhaps, after acquiring the Conquest Fortress, setting it aside due to concerns about the Council of Stars is a rational choice, and also reflects the fear and apprehension the stars may have."

Wang Ya initially acquired the world's core and plundered and merged the martial arts world by utilizing the Conquest Fortress.

Once they arrived in the land of frost and snow and settled down, they had many concerns and considered things more deeply.

When did your mindset change?

Danger represents opportunity, possibility; he doesn't want even the slightest danger to arise.

Wang Ya reflected on himself for a moment.

And when did the exchange with the strangled king take place?

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes, forced to admit that his concerns extended far beyond the influence of the stars; he also had to consider the "Conquest Fortress" itself.

Instinctively, I avoid certain things and don't want to rely entirely on a single thing.

By plunging headlong into the Crimson Society and choosing the path of the Council of Stars, isn't this also about opening up new paths and new options?

He was searching for a balance, a sense of security that lay deep within his heart, an absolute, instinctive sense of security.

Conquering the fortress came too easily, and the level of functionality that could be utilized was unusually high.

Even though it's incomplete, the functions provided by the Hanged King include: 'Conquest Weapon System', 'Transcendent Virus and Bacteria Cultivation System', 'Outer Space Jump System', 'Star Gate Spacetime Teleportation and Positioning System', 'Conquest Healing System', 'Conquest Defense System', and 'Conventional Witchcraft Rune System'.

It combines defense, offense, evasion, long-distance travel, and pinpoint strikes, making it almost all-around capable, yet it doesn't seem incomplete or lacking in any way.

Wang Ya couldn't find any loopholes. With ample energy, it could be driven out to fight a world-destroying war without any problems.

Even against a true Grand Wizard of the Sun, one could put up a fight and have a chance of winning.

The most crucial aspect, and the one that made Wang Ya sense something amiss, was the energy sector.

The World-Destroying Meteor Cannon possesses the power to truly destroy worlds, delivering a strike at the level of rules, permanently altering the defined environment, and creating an absolute void.

Of the six energy engines, about two were consumed, and after only engulfing one Deep Blue Secret Realm world, three engines were fully charged.

What a joke! The power of a single strike from the rules is far beyond what a single secret realm can provide.

The complete universe, after being devoured and integrated, would be more or less complete, filling the six energy engines to about 70-80%.

The strangled king was definitely hiding something; he was not as completely obedient to each of his conquerors as he claimed.

Even if Wang Ya had mastered all the functions of the Conquest Fortress, he could still use his authority to control it, but there was one thing he couldn't influence.

That is the "Hanging King" himself.

He cannot make the "Stranger King" disappear, erase him. If he cannot do this, then he will never be a true conqueror, but merely a subordinate.

Whether it's overthinking or has some hidden purpose, it doesn't matter.

Wang Ya needs to find more paths.

Not limited to a single one.

The past is the past, just like the vanished Hans Christian Andersen.

Today is a constellation of stars, the present moment of the internet.

In other words, if one can act legitimately and ethically, who would be willing to take the risk of engaging in shady dealings?

Wang Ya believed in his own potential, and with the assistance of the Eye of Truth, if he could gain advancement within the Star Council by offering up the Conquest Fortress, why not?

As a native of our home planet with impeccable roots, no one is more of a wizard than him; he is a natural-born fresh blood for the Star Council.

If we don't nurture such beings, are we supposed to nurture outsiders from other places?

He was too eager to improve.

Seeing that the 'World Core Embryo' was the reward for the top three in the Star Lord Tournament, and that there were multiple quantities of it, he understood.

The so-called purge agreement, and the scene of the Deep Blue Archmage suppressing and killing the Blood Lord Gendass, involve 'world' reasons that are not so simple.

From the smallest plane to the largest universe, and even larger realms, everything can be called a world.

The information received from the moon god, King A.

The initial star field contained three thousand imaginary worlds, but in reality, there were many more universes, corresponding to the "small thousand," "medium thousand," and "great thousand" levels of imaginary worlds in the legendary civilization of the Immortal Realm.

The initial star field itself is also a corner of the greater heavens, located in the middle thousand worlds, and can be called heaven and earth.

"The primordial Great Realm contained countless worlds and realms. The chaotic star sea beyond that Great Realm, unlike the secondary chaotic star sea within it, must be incredibly vast."

Wang Ya couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

This thought was quickly dismissed.

With my mind focused on the present, my primary goal for the Star Master Tournament remains unchanged.

Now, we need to add another one.

For the three world embryos that are awarded as a prize for first place.

Once obtained, one can completely break through the limitations of legend and advance to a true Radiant Moon Life form, rather than simply reaching the level of combat power.

The land of frost and snow, continuing the dark lands, ushered in the era of the heart of conquest.

No, it should be said that Wang Ya had already been making some preparations since he separated the Night Moon Elf's avatar.

At the same time, in order to test themselves, they separate out excess emotions and the complexities of the seven emotions and six desires.

To become more rational, purer, and to maintain a balanced and perfect wizarding nature.
