Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1156 Exploration

Click, click, click, click...

With his feet firmly planted on the skeletal ground, Green's solitary figure followed the shroud of hope within the robe of appearance, slowly moving forward in the world of flowing light and retrospection, confirming the invisible time-fracturing crisis around him through the "click" and "click" echoes under his feet.

Even so, the crisis of time faults still exists, and some minor time faults do not produce an echo.

However, this will not threaten Green's super regenerative repair capabilities.

"what?"

After a soft hesitation, Green fiddled with the Scepter of Hope floating in front of him, pointing in another direction. He raised his hand, and with a wave of gravity, he retrieved a piece of bone that was completely different from the one he had been stepping on.

Rather than describing it as a skeleton, it's more accurate to say it's the remains of some kind of large insect beetle, its black, red, and green colors standing out starkly against the vast expanse of bones, a mix of pale white and light gold.

It's a pity that it has been silent here for countless years and has weathered to this state.

"Could it be the remains of another biological group?"

With that thought in mind, Green began to search in all directions for possible traces of other black, red, and green beetles, using the broken remains of the large beetle's body as the center.

After several hourglasses of time, unfortunately, Green was still unable to find it.

At this moment, Green couldn't help but think of a series of terrifying possibilities: these were beings like himself, who had either stumbled into or been sealed into the world of Flowing Light Rewind.

Picking up a fragment of the shell, the three-colored eyes beneath the Face of Truth flashed. The vast expanse of time had caused the essence of this shell to be completely lost, making it extremely fragile. However, with the Face of Truth's comprehensive and meticulous observation, through the various clues and traces remaining on the surface, and with the wisdom of a wizard, Green gradually deduced and calculated to reconstruct the general appearance of the creature on this fragment of the shell.

"It is indeed a level six creature, and even among level six creatures, it is by no means weak. This shell, which is focused on defense, was enough to give this creature a terrifying defense that could ignore any attack below 100,000 degrees Celsius during its lifetime."

Discarding the shell in his hand, Grimm's three-colored eyes beneath the Mask of Truth gazed into the distance, his heart filled with even greater caution towards this illusory world.

……

Before we knew it, two months had passed.

It seems that Green's previous worries were completely unnecessary. In the past two months, the skeletons under his feet have changed from pale gold to an endless expanse of gray-white, obviously left by different biological groups. For the time being, Green has not encountered any living creatures.

Is this virtual world too vast?

Or... the lives here are relative, to the point that the encounter between two lives becomes a low-probability, accidental event?

Layers of elemental ripples were absorbed into Grimm's body. One of the advantages of being an elemental wizard is that after becoming a formal wizard, one can comprehend the power of nature and feed on elements, without having to worry about starving to death under extreme conditions.

"Hmm, more biological remains?"

Green noticed that the skeleton beneath his feet had changed again, transforming into the remains of a creature with a semi-transparent crystalline structure, in strips, chunks, and granules. When he picked up a piece, he found it to be surprisingly heavy.

With a "thud," the translucent crystal fragment in my hand fell to the ground, making a metallic scraping sound.

The wizard's keen sense of energy allowed Grimm to detect a faint energy fluctuation underground. With caution and curiosity, Grimm quickly dug around, and after a short while, a crystal ball-like gem appeared in his hand, dazzling and beautiful.

"What astonishing density and hardness! It's a pity that the energy it once contained has been completely lost. Otherwise, if the energy were still intact, its value would definitely be above that of the Extreme Cold Crystal of the Extreme Abyss Magic Staff."

It's a bit of a pity that such a precious and magical resource has lost its value in the long river of history; it's truly lamentable.

……

Before we knew it, another month had passed.

The bones and remains beneath his feet have been replaced twice, and Green has been injured dozens of times by undetectable, minute time faults. For Green now, being injured by these undetectable, minute time faults and the time storms that may rage at any time has become a part of daily life and is nothing to be surprised about.

With firm steps, Green came to this world for the purpose of letting the light of hope dominate the corpses. As for the mysterious object guided by the Scepter of Hope, Green considered it his second objective.

At the same time, a bracelet made of dozens of strange teeth appeared on Green's palm, possessing some power of time. Unfortunately, it was only a shallow level of time, just like the ancient hanging clock, but it was enough to purify the Philosopher's Stone, the terminator of the strange crystals.

Treasures that survive in this illusory world must possess, to varying degrees, the ability to resist the erosion of time.

Click, click, click...

Greene was multitasking, walking slowly in the direction indicated by the Shroud of Hope, while silently studying the genetics of the Key to Life, trying to dispel the thought that his "exile" would last for many years.

In this deep, illusory world, time has no meaning in the real world. This is the very edge of an endless world, and even the rules of balance have little effect on it.

It is precisely because of this uncertainty that Green, while carrying out his mission in the Radiation World, prepared the Time-Binding Item and the Shroud of Hope as a backup plan for his escape, and before leaving, he made his final arrangements for his three disciples in the Wizarding World.

The reason why the spacetime sealing technique is so powerful lies here.

Perhaps dozens of eras have passed in the deep illusory space-time, but for the real world it is just a fleeting moment. Or perhaps only a moment has passed in the deep illusory space-time, but for the real world it is thousands of years or several eras, things have changed, and civilizations have perished.

Even if a creature that has been sealed by the spacetime seal manages to escape the illusory world and appear in the endless world, it may already be hundreds of world clusters away, which is an insurmountable distance even for the endless ruler.

All of this is why the spacetime sealing technique is so powerful for the sealed person. Unless the caster releases it voluntarily, there is only one possibility: that the caster has made all the necessary preparations and deliberately left the deep illusory world into the real material world, which would also be a dead end.

"kindness!?"

Green, who was following along, collecting echoes to locate his position, was suddenly startled by a chaotic sound wave. He looked up and was filled with astonishment.

actually……

There were mountains and seas of massive metal mech wreckage, some of which still stood in their original design form. Although time had decayed them, they had not become fragments like the skeletons of other creatures. One can imagine the combat capabilities of these mechs in the past!

The towering ones are thousands of meters tall, while the smaller ones are only one or two meters tall. Their shapes are incredibly diverse, but their most basic design principle is by no means a war-themed artwork like that of the Metal Destroyer civilization. Instead, they are somewhat similar to the Wizarding World, designed solely for the most primitive clash of iron and fire.

"Hoo... food..."

An astonishingly fast wave of life roared out from the metal forest, much to Green's surprise, as he hadn't seen a real living being for months.
