Wizard Immortal

Chapter 466 The Origin of the World

"No way? Someone actually wants to assassinate Marquis Soang?"

Standing before the tent entrance, Lera, clad in leather armor, appeared outwardly to be dutifully performing his duty as a guard, but inwardly he was astonished: "Who has such audacity?"

"What's so strange about that?" Alice said calmly. "Anything that yields far more benefit than cost will be considered and done by someone."

"This time is no different. Assassinating Marquis Soon is difficult, but not impossible."

"And if it succeeds, the reward will be beyond imagination. The cost of assassinating Marquis Soon is nothing compared to the possible reward."

"This..." Lera was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she had no choice but to nod.

"And actually, they're almost there..." Alice suddenly blurted out, causing Lera and Slim to widen their eyes in surprise: "Don't forget, Marquis Soon has been bedridden for months..."

Upon hearing this, the players present widened their eyes. However, before they could discuss it, Adir's voice rang out again from nearby, instantly drawing the attention of all the players.

"If I am satisfied with your performance this time, I will consider giving you a good reward after the territory of Soon is leveled."

In the center of the camp, looking at the players before him, Adir glanced at Lera and the others and said with a smile, "Trust me, you will definitely like this reward."

Upon hearing this, Vivian and the others were overjoyed.

Among players, Prince Hisoka has a fairly good reputation. Even the things he casually takes out are rare and valuable items for players today.

If even Prince Hisoka says it's a good item, it must be far better than what he brought out before. Otherwise, given his status, there would be no need for him to say that.

Before they could even guess what the reward Adir was talking about was, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in their ears.

The voice was familiar to them; it was the mechanical sound of the system. But this time, it froze them in place.

Main quest triggered!

Mission: The Rise of the World's Chosen

Introduction: Assist the Chosen One in unifying the world of creation! Those who achieve outstanding results will be noticed by the Chosen One and receive his rewards.

Reward: Unlock the Seed of Knights and pave the way to extraordinary achievements!

······················

The system's mechanical voice echoed incessantly in their ears. At this moment, all the players in the tent were stunned. Even those as composed and calm as Qimu and as level-headed as Slim were completely dumbfounded. Their thoughts stopped, their blood surged, and they felt as if they had been hit by a pie.

"The...the Child of the World!" After a long while, Slim finally reacted, trembling, and spoke in the players' public chat: "Am I dreaming?"

"No, I think you're not only not dreaming, but you're actually quite lucid." Qi Mu's voice rang out beside him.

"Yes, I'm in a great state right now, better than ever before." Slim glanced sideways at Chim beside him, managing to calm himself down and process the news.

Around him, the other players were clearly still reeling from the mission, their faces flushed with excitement. Several of them were still in shock, their faces flushed.

This isn't the players' fault; in fact, it's because the news was just too shocking.

These players are just ordinary people and probably don't know what "Child of the World" specifically represents. But the meaning of the term "Child of the World" itself is already shocking enough.

Even without Adir explaining the meaning of "Child of the World" to them, these players would start to fill in the blanks in their own minds.

In just a short while, all the players had adjusted their mindset. However, the awe they now showed towards Adir had clearly deepened, indicating that they had finished imagining things.

Adir shook his head, not saying anything more, and simply waved his hand, signaling the Qimu to take their people out.

After all the other players had left and he was the only one left in the tent, he fell into deep thought.

"The process of creating this task just now felt a little too smooth..."

Sitting on the wooden chair, he raised his head, his pure black eyes gradually turning silver as he gazed into the surrounding void, seemingly able to see visions in the darkness.

Using the mutual attraction of the world's power and following the fluctuations of the world's consciousness to add new tasks to those players, this was not the first time Adir had done this; on the contrary, he was quite adept at it.

However, compared to previous operations, this operation went far too smoothly.

To give an example, in the past, if Adir wanted to issue a quest to a player on the system panel, not to mention the tedious process, it would inevitably consume a lot of Realm Energy.

However, this time the mission was set up smoothly, and most importantly, it did not consume any boundary energy.

Even as Adir had that thought, a faint aura surged into him, establishing a connection with some unfathomable being. Not only did his elemental energy not decrease at that moment, it actually increased considerably.

"Is it the self-preservation instinct of world consciousness?"

Sitting there for a long time, Adir hesitated before speaking, realizing that this time was different.

The reason why this mission is different from the past is most likely due to the rewards he receives this time.

This time, he plans to bestow the power of the knight upon some players, unlocking extraordinary abilities within the player community.

It is very likely that this is what caused the fluctuation in the world's consciousness, thus causing the world to instinctively establish a connection with him and transmit its power to him.

After establishing the connection, Adir could feel that the growth rate of the boundary energy within his body suddenly increased dramatically. A large amount of boundary energy was transmitted from somewhere through the connection and quickly reached his body.

Sensing this, Adir slowly closed his eyes. Deep within his body, a faint silver source flickered, with a bright light shining from within, illuminating everything around him.

Scenes began to appear in my mind.

Those were players connected to him: Lera, Slim, Alice... Each player under his command, who obeyed him, had a faint purple light flickering around them, slowly gathering and establishing a subtle connection between him and the beings behind these players.

In the future, if the number of players under his command gradually increases, this connection will gradually deepen; however, if the players under his command continue to defect, this connection will gradually weaken until it is completely severed.

"Interesting... I didn't expect that just wanting to conduct an experiment would yield such results."

Slowly, Adir opened his eyes, and his entire appearance had changed drastically.

Her original black hair and black eyes have completely transformed into silver hair and silver eyes. The bright and elegant aura emanating from her, like a silver moon, and the calming presence that soothes the soul, is impossible to conceal.

Within him, Adir's unique essence had been activated, and some characteristics unique to the Moon Elf bloodline rapidly manifested and appeared on Adir's body.

In this state, Adir could clearly feel the changes taking place within himself as he established a connection with the world's consciousness.

The most obvious and gratifying change is that the rate of growth of the source has begun to accelerate.

A unique power is flowing continuously through this connection from a source as deep and vast as the ocean.

This power is pure, seemingly containing everything, embodying the essence of all power, but in terms of quantity, it is extremely faint, only a tiny, almost invisible amount.

"Is this... the origin of the world?"

As Adir carefully sensed the ever-flowing power, he was startled.

The origin of the world is the deepest power in the world, similar to the power of the world, yet surpassing it.

This is the fundamental force upon which the world operates; it is usually hidden within the core of the world and never manifests itself.

"Even the very essence of the world is beginning to overflow. It seems this world has truly reached its end..."

After a long silence, the thought finally flashed through Adir's mind. Looking at the countless players in the distance, he felt a surge of emotion.

The origin of the world began to spread, and Adir understood the implications of this all too well.

This indicates that the world has reached its most critical moment. The world's protective mechanisms have been completely destroyed, and even its own origin cannot be fully controlled, leaving it to flow out unchecked.

Adir could imagine that the world in which the player was currently located was having its very essence being extracted by this primordial world.

In fact, the core of the world-devouring process is the devouring of the origins of other worlds. As for other lands and life, although they are also extremely important assets to a world, they are not as important as the world's origin.

However, this incident served as a reminder to Adir.

The world being swallowed up is an absolutely major event. Being in the midst of such a major event can actually bring many benefits if one has sufficient abilities.

For example, right now, through the player community, Adir suddenly realized that there were actually significant benefits to be gained in this incident.

The disintegration of a nation can create enough opportunities to nurture countless millionaires. The fall of a level four powerhouse can have an impact on an entire continent. And the fall of a vast world, even if most of its legacy is swallowed up by other worlds, the mere amount that leaks out is enough to make Adir ravenous.
