Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1224 The Gift of the Magi

On the journey.

"No……"

Before the rift in the sealing spell, Grimm accepted the sacrifice, easily pulling a black stone monster from the material world into the dimensional esophagus, which roared with terror and unease.

Given Green's current level of power, the cost of sacrificing himself to summon someone after performing the Dimensional Esophageal Seal Technique is unimaginable!

Just like Grimm's sacrifice and summoning in the War of Civilizations, even in a state of self-sealing and bursting, he still weakened, and the aftereffects were so severe that Grimm was weak for quite a long time.

The black stone monster struggled desperately, but it was nothing more than a toy in Green's hands. He grabbed it like a little frog and dragged it into the dimensional esophagus.

"We've won..."

"The seal has been successfully completed..."

On the vast battlefield, a group of white marble elemental creatures cheered, and some attached flower and grass spirits were also overjoyed and excited, looking up in awe at the crack that stretched to the horizon, hoping to glimpse the vast and incredible power they had just witnessed through it.

What kind of powerful being from another world was that, a powerful being who sealed the world?

Green withdrew his arm, which was burning and repelled in the real world, and was about to continue his aimless advance when he was suddenly surprised to find that the world lord of the black crystal monster that he had captured had been exiled and completely abandoned in the dimensional esophagus's skeletal land, becoming a new exile.

"Oh?"

Green was taken aback, thinking he would be sealed in the illusory depths of the high sky by the dimensional esophagus's illusory rules.

"Who...who are you? Where am I?!"

The black stone monster, over a hundred meters tall, stared at the mysterious phenomenon of light and darkness in the sky and cried out in alarm. It was the black stone monster that had just unleashed that immense and incredible power, which it could not resist and had dragged into this empty and despairing world.

At this moment, Green was no longer a living being in the eyes of this monster, but a natural phenomenon, an inexplicable illusion. These relatively simple-minded creatures would not attempt to understand it in depth.

"Hmm? Welcome to the Dimensional Dining Path. However, it's too dangerous for a weak little thing like you to be here. You can try your luck at the Gate of Transmission over there. Good luck."

I wasn't very interested in this level 5 little life form.

At this moment, as one of the most terrifying old monsters in the Dimensional Digestive System, Green can handle most of the dangers here with ease, unless there is a virtual world portal, a dimensional war, or a rare, unexpected event.

Under the gaze of the bewildered and lost Black Stone Monster, Green, a black hole where light and darkness converge, continued to fly towards the direction guided by the Scepter of Hope within his body.

Even though it was Green who dragged the other person into the dimensional esophagus, he acted like nothing had happened and wished the other person good luck.

……

Six years later.

Along the way, the occasional exiles they encountered were all incredibly shocked by Green's life form, staring blankly at him, trying to avoid him, watching this black hole of light and darkness move straight through the sky and slowly disappear.

On this day, the Time Storm roared and raged above the cave, but Green keenly sensed the wisps of energy belonging to the illusory world within the ongoing Time Storm.

"Hiss... This ethereal aura is unheard of. What kind of illusory world is this?"

However, given Green's current level of life, even if it's some illusory worlds connected by the dimensional esophagus, as long as he's careful, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. After all, wizards are intelligent beings, and Green's understanding of illusory spacetime is quite rare in the entire wizarding world.

A short while later, after the storm of time had subsided, Green cautiously flew out of the cave of bones.

"Huh? What kind of rule is this?"

No wonder Green was surprised. At this moment, in the hazy mist, a huge green snake ring was constantly rotating, its head trying to swallow its tail, forming a huge ring that kept looping endlessly.

At the center of this circle is an illusory gate, half above the gray mist of the dimensional esophagus and half below it.

From this illusory gate, one deer after another flew out, with an old man in a red and white robe riding on them. Their half-illusory shadows raced through the sky, seemingly searching for something, but unable to find it, looking completely lost.

Behind these deer followed countless gift box-shaped objects, forming a long line in the sky, creating various shapes such as hearts and waves, far beyond the ethereal existence of dimensional gaps.

The gift box contains an emotional energy. As someone who possesses both the illusory body of hatred and the illusory body of hope, Green is extremely sensitive to emotional power. Even from a great distance, Green has already sensed it.

Heartwarming? Surprising?

On one hand, there was a desire for knowledge, and on the other hand, there was caution against the illusory dangers. Faced with this illusory world of unknown rules, Grimm hesitated. After thinking for a while, a clone of the Source of Annihilation appeared amidst the fluctuations of magic.

"Why are there no enemies? Why did you summon me?"

This clone of the Source of Annihilation looked a bit dazed, picking its nose and asking Green a question.

"Uh... this is troublesome. Could you help me find out what the illusory rules over there are?"

The Origin of Annihilation looked in the direction Green pointed and saw a sky full of gift boxes. They emerged from the Green Serpent Ring, accompanied by deer and strange-looking old men. They floated everywhere in a dark, swirling mass, forming all sorts of shapes and playing with each other. It was nothing like the dangerous illusory world that Green had encountered before.

"What the hell is this thing?"

The Origin of Annihilation's clone walked towards the gift boxes.

A moment later, to Green's astonishment, who was watching from afar, countless gift boxes surrounded the avatar of the Source of Annihilation, seemingly allowing him to choose whatever he wanted.

The avatar of the Source of Annihilation happily flew back with a gift box in its hand.

"This is so interesting. They say they are surprise gift boxes from the world of the Magi. At a certain time, they will randomly go to a world to surprise the local intelligent beings. Giving us surprises is their source of power. However, I don't know why the deer's perception is greatly limited in the world they came to this time. This is a gift from the Magi."

In the hands of the Origin of Annihilation's clone, there was a sky-blue box with white spots printed on it, tied into a bow with a pink ribbon.

"Should we open it?"

Green didn't speak, but instead continued to perceive the gift box from all angles with the power of truth.

However, all Green saw was an empty box, with nothing inside. Apart from being composed of the emotional force of surprise, the box was almost unremarkable.

"The source of power that brings surprises? This kind of growth is somewhat similar to the nurturing of the Eternal Spring and the dispersal of the World Tree's offspring. Hmm..."

Having experienced the establishment of the Nine Peaks rules through the Gate of Penetration, Grimm suddenly realized in an instant: "Perhaps, we can use this kind of festival-like method as an offering to the true spirit? However, it is equally difficult to promote. The promotion of the Three Colors 'Tooth Fairy Tale' took several epochs to take shape. The promotion of the rules of the wizarding world must have an audience, a group of bearers, who can willingly pass on the rules."

Upon opening the gift box, a music box began to spin, emitting cheerful and pleasant sounds, but nothing particularly special.

Previously, in Green's perception, the gift box was completely empty, containing nothing.

"Let's go, this virtual world is quite interesting."

Green had no interest in the deer, the strangely dressed old man, or the gift boxes, but his tricolored eyes seemed to see behind the Green Serpent Ring Gate a terrifying, illusory overlord that could devour the power of warmth and surprise and grow ever stronger.
