Wizards pursue the truth

"That rune has appeared again!"

The sharp-eyed old wizard instantly identified the origin of the 'rune': "The energy body that evolved during the battle with the Wizard of the Universe was formed from this rune."

"Could it be that the Nightmare Wizard intends to use the same method to counter the Sea Demon Wizard's Siren Dance?"

After some thought, someone gave an affirmative answer: "It's very likely. An energy body doesn't have the weaknesses of an ordinary witch body, and it can even have a large degree of immunity in terms of mental consciousness."

"The Siren's Dance affects reality from the realm of illusion, causing mental distortion and spread, which is quite terrifying. However, if the consciousness and mind are not affected, its power will be greatly reduced."

"The absence of consciousness and mind does not mean the death of life," someone recited.

"That's why it's not absolute." The middle-aged wizard who spoke earlier glared at the latter. "Energy life is also life, and it also has consciousness. However, consciousness is divided into every particle of energy in the body. As long as there is any energy left, it means that it is immortal and indestructible, and consciousness can be recreated."

"Of course, that's something that can only be done after one has completely transformed into an energy life form; it belongs to the level of the Sun's rules."

"It is already extremely difficult for us to achieve some of the life-related aspects of energy. There are countless paths, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and it all depends on the individual's choice."

"Difficult, difficult, difficult. The power of the Siren's Dance cannot be concealed. Even inanimate objects can come to life, and even metal and stone will shed tears. The Nightmare Wizard's idea is good, but unfortunately," Wizard Bai Xu said, shaking his head. As a wizard who judges the other side, his eyesight is better than that of ordinary wizards, and his perspective is more comprehensive.

"The sacrificial music never ceases, the sea monster dance never ends, the sins and evil spirits never disappear. The Nightmare Wizard should have prevented the Sea Monster Wizard from using this great magic from the very beginning."

"A black stroke outlines the characters, forming a talisman that cannot be erased. Its own form has already dissipated, so how can it be countered and the situation reversed?" The Gu Yuan Wizard of Yuan Shui Castle frowned deeply.

What does that black talisman represent, and what is its function?

His question was also something that most of the wizards present wanted to know.

At some point, even the Venerable Emperor Wizard found it difficult to understand some of Wang Ya's methods.

The outcome of a battle is even more unpredictable.

A glint flashed in the Ghostlight Wizard's eyes; he remembered the Nightmare Wizard casting spells related to it.

Back in the Land of Bubbles, the other party approached me and conducted a witchcraft test and practice.

This includes, but is not limited to, the Nightmare Dream Legacy—the 'Dream Chapter,' 'Energy Chapter,' 'Food Chapter,' and 'Core Chapter.'

The witchcraft involved includes techniques such as "Nightmare Devouring," "Nightmare Great Black Heaven," and "Nightmare Freezing."

All the major sorcery spells involving 'Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy' have similar black strokes and runes.

Moreover, the various magical auras are interconnected and seem to be able to form a whole.

The Ghostlight Wizard had some guesses back then, and now, seeing how the battle was developing and the black runes were condensing and appearing, a thought gradually took root in his mind.

Could it be that...

The flow of time in the real world and the Star Realm fluctuates.

Different universes, worlds connected at the same time, the transmission of consciousness and self-perception, maintaining unity—this in itself is a paradox, and the stars sustain this paradox. Even if there are differences in the flow of energy between worlds, those within the constellation are on the same frequency, experiencing the same sensations.

A land of frost and snow.

More than half a month has passed since the joint plan of the five major forces of Frost and Snow Heaven—the 'Population Census'.

The Brahma Wizard did not get what he wanted.

Instead, this provoked widespread resentment among many wizarding communities, leading to frequent bloodshed and supernatural conflicts.

Even the fundamental bases of the major wizarding cities are in conflict and unstable.

The Brahma Wizard didn't care about these things; he was willing to pay any price to achieve his goal.

Not only him, but also the high-ranking wizards of the other four forces have become aware of this.

Moreover, he believed that those unstable factors were some hidden forces, some people who could not restrain their ambitions and were trying to do something.

"They're just chickens and dogs, it's a good opportunity to eliminate those restless elements."

Inside the meeting room on a snowy day, the Wizard of Hundred Blessings sneered, arms crossed, his face full of disdain, "In this land of frost and snow, we are the rulers, and they cannot overturn the heavens."

The wizard in the purple robes, with a cold expression, stretched out his right hand, purple particle energy rippled, and he clenched his five fingers inward. "In the past, our tolerance was just to add some spice to the long years, to leave some room for maneuver, and to show some affection to the outside world."

"This land of frost and snow can do without online areas, and those traitors and old fogies hidden in the no-man's-land need to be completely wiped out."

The Wizard of the Universe tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his voice unhurried, "These are all secondary; the most important thing is the 'target'."

The Wizard Ashe picked up the strong tea in front of her, blew on the foam on the surface, and sipped her lips. "Half a month has passed. With such a large-scale mobilization, besides finding some minor characters' scheming, unknown ambitious people's rebellion plans, and the organization of forces, we haven't found the 'target'."

"Where exactly is Hans Christian Andersen? Is he still in the Land of Frost and Snow? That power of the rules seems to be getting further and further away from us."

Among the five major powers, the Crimson Society is undoubtedly the most confident in facing the consequences of the failure of the joint plan of the five major powers.

The path beyond the stars, and the existence of the Nightmare Wizard, made the Crimson Academy a resounding success, yielding substantial profits.

Once the Stars Convergence ends, the current situation in the Frostland will change. The power rankings on the 'Net' list, the benefits they possess, the regional divisions they receive, and their status will rise significantly.

Specifically, how things change, how more is gained, and how some power is always reduced.

If a wizard seed only achieves average success, this difference will occur within the Frostlands.

The Nightmare Wizard's achievements are so great that even the Crimson Society finds them difficult to handle.

The areas surrounding the Frosty Lands might become even higher due to these changes, perhaps even reaching the heights of the Rejuvenated Lands.

If Nightmare Wizard really wins first place in the Star Lord Tournament.

Given the long lifespan of the wizard Ashe, her emotions inevitably fluctuated.

—Near the Stars

Let alone him, even the original wizards who founded the Crimson Society probably didn't expect their power to grow to that extent one day.

The high-ranking wizards of the other four factions did not harbor much hostility or fear towards the Crimson Society.

When the gap becomes large enough, you can only look up to them.

Furthermore, the Crimson Society is essentially cutting into the interests of other regions, rather than dividing up a larger share of the pie internally. In any case, it's still a positive development for the Frostland as a whole.

Their power might not be unable to gain a share of the spoils, or even just scraps.

The only complaint was probably about why the Nightmare Wizard was in the Crimson Society and why he was discovered by that old man, the Emperor.

Why isn't it their wizarding faction?

The Brahma Wizard's expression gradually darkened. As the one who spearheaded the plan and facilitated its implementation, he should be the first to bear the responsibility.

Half a month was also the promise he made.

As long as people remain in the frost-covered land, nothing should change.

Could it be that the woman has a problem with her memory?

The Brahma Wizard realized this; otherwise, how could he explain why he hadn't been searching for Andersen?

Qi (vital energy), memory, influence, and even the divination wizard shaped a specific destiny of "Andersen," with the stars guiding the magic.

That woman shouldn't have died!

No, there are some problems with that woman's appearance.

There's also information about Hans Christian Andersen, and the memory scenes related to the power of rules seem to have a deliberate coincidence!

The Brahma Wizard narrowed his eyes, before he could even figure out what was going on.

The delivery of a message caused his emotions to fluctuate instantly.

"Lord Brahma, we have found what you were looking for."

At the center of the enormous conference table, an image of an old wizard was projected. He was the Radiant Moon Wizard, under the command of the Eternal Sun, speaking excitedly while simultaneously transmitting a video feed.

The latest novel is first published here!

It was a figure suspended in mid-air amidst the swirling sandstorm. The face that could be seen through the blur was none other than Hans Christian Andersen. Even the fluctuations in his physique and aura matched perfectly.

The wizard suddenly stood up from his chair, his thoughts abruptly interrupted and completely replaced by the image of Hans Christian Andersen.

"Hans Christian Andersen, your existence is not a lie. I have finally found you."

His gloomy face turned flushed with excitement.

The release of his extraordinary and surging energy caused a fierce wind to blow through the conference room.

The other Moonlit Wizards also released their extraordinary fluctuations and particle energy shields, their faces beaming with undisguised joy.

"What are we waiting for? Let's move out! Confirm our location, and we'll use Frosty Sky's teleportation array for a surprise attack!"

The Wizard of Avengers burst forth with blood and energy, turning his body crimson and his hair wildly dancing. He laughed loudly, "We cannot tolerate or condone such an enemy. We must strike hard and take him down in one fell swoop."

"Well said, we must strike hard!" The projection of a giant purple tower appeared behind the Sky Wizard, and a heavy sense of oppression continued to emanate from it.

Ashe the Wizard was naturally not to be outdone by the others. A ball of fire illuminated her body, her eyes blending into it, like the eyes of a god, full of majesty.

"Of course!" The Brahma Wizard grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

Once we find the person, everything will be much easier.

The alliance of the five major forces of Frost and Snow will allow things to continue.

Maintaining this most powerful force is enough to start regional wars, let alone handle internal affairs.

The particle clouds and energy rain that have existed year-round on the Frosty Snow Tower experienced a brief pause, while the terrifying energy accumulated in the lightning river at the base of the tower was transmitted to the witch array inside the tower.

Various runic spells began to operate, and under the influence of the corresponding controlling wizards, the spatial node coordinates were confirmed, and the area-wide teleportation array was activated.

A series of white halos enveloped the five people in the conference room.

Meanwhile, within the five major forces, the Radiant Moon Wizards at the top of the pyramid all received the news. Their eyes blazed with unprecedented divine light, and their auras were released without any concealment, causing many mid-level and low-level wizards within the forces to feel uneasy and puzzled.

Crimson teleportation halos, orange-yellow teleportation halos—numerous teleportation anomalies appeared simultaneously.

The tides of earth vein energy seem to have been affected by these changes, altering their course.

Whoosh!

The cold wind howled, and the white breath lingered among the snow-covered landscape as the figure exhaled.

At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, a steaming hot spring pool shimmers with white lotus blossoms, exuding a unique charm and extraordinary energy.

Diana stood beside the Heavenly Lake, gazing into the distance, as if she could see a terrifying aura, powerful and overwhelming, connecting and releasing itself.

A smile curved her lips. "Looks like I've found him. My plan can officially begin now."

"I hope you will like this gift I have brought you, Andersen. Today marks the first step for Grey and me to get rid of you."

Turning to look at the center of Tianchi Lake, amidst the white mist formed by the scalding steam, besides the swaying, radiant snow lotuses, two blood-red lotuses stood out prominently at their very core. The buds had not yet bloomed, and within them, there seemed to be some subtle fluctuations of spiritual consciousness.

"To die first, then to live."

Within the constellation of stars, the battleground where the Demon Sea Wizard resides is the current center of attention, drawing many gazes.

Even the major Sun Wizards were all focused on the battle and its outcome.

The clash between the realms of true spirits made them nod in agreement, acknowledging that both sides possessed solid foundations and resources.

After Wang Ya demonstrated his triple ability and gained the upper hand, Yuan Gu's eyelids kept twitching.

The Demon Sea Wizard was the wizard seed he had chosen.

Naturally, they didn't want the Demon Sea Wizard to lose the battle.

The Great Wizard of Red Leaf also twitched. Initially, it was the Nightmare Wizard he discovered who was not chosen, but rather used as a cover.

His current comeback, reaching the final stage of the Star Lord Tournament, seems somewhat bewildering, allowing the Black and White Wizard to pick up an excellent seed.

It would be a lie to say there was no regret.

There's nothing left to change now. I just hope my choices weren't wrong. The Cosmic Wizard, though defeated, was still honorable, showing great potential. The spacetime path is too rare, and his growth will be of great help to the Blazing Starry Sky. The Lightning Wizard's performance was remarkable; even within the Blazing Starry Sky, he is considered a core wizard.

The appearance of the Demon Sea Dance gives the Demon Sea Wizard the upper hand, and it seems that he is about to win the battle.

Only then did a smile appear on the face of the Great Wizard Yuan Gu.

"That black rune seemed to encompass all elements related to fire, including its derivatives such as destruction, explosion, surge, and rise. Destruction and rebirth. Energy and life."

The Grand Wizard of Judgment squinted as he observed, muttering to himself. Then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes widened suddenly. "Wait... Could it be that this kid has chosen that path, and has even partially achieved it?"

The Black and White Wizard thought to himself, 'You've come to understand the triple death; this situation shouldn't be trapping you.' (End of Chapter)
