Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1244 The Holy Remains Statue

The ash-headed blade is depicted as a section of an old tree root, with the image of a disheveled old man.

However, at this moment, the old man who was the leader of the Ten Blades had lost his previous high spirits. When questioned by the red-eyed dwarf, he just looked at the Five Blades with a bitter expression. This made the Five Blades realize that something was wrong and they looked sharply at the Bone Throne.

At this moment, a humanoid creature without any fluctuation of power sat quietly there, looking down at him.

And before that, the King of Ashes had been sitting there, and he had just left!

Creepy!

Despite having no aura fluctuations, like a lowly ant that hasn't even reached the first level of a living being, something that could be crushed with a single step, the red-eyed, green-skinned dwarf felt an ominous, oppressive feeling as if it were being sucked in by the gaze of his three-colored, luminous eyes and six pairs of eerie compound eyes. It wanted to escape, but every cell in its body instinctively told it that it must not run away.

"Hehehehe, a dimensional gate adventurer, what is that? No wonder that guy was so tough, I almost let him escape. I thought there was a group of formidable experts hidden here besides the King of Bones, but it turns out it was just a coincidence."

Green sat on the skeletal throne, but because the throne was rather large, Green did not appear solemn or dignified at all.

grunt.

The old tree's beard swallowed hard and said in a low voice, "At the end of the Dimensional Essence Skeleton Continent, it is perpetually shrouded in dimensional gaps and time storms. Legend has it that there is a dimensional gate connecting to the dimensional gaps within, which is also perpetually shrouded in dimensional gaps and time storms, and no exile can break through it. Legend has it that only after a dimensional war, with enough powerful blood sacrificed, can the dimensional gaps there be calmed."

Then, the old tree's beard added, "As for the Ninth Blade you killed, it was very likely a Dimensional Gate Trial Traveler, a strange creature that was accidentally born after the intersection of dimensional gaps and time storms. What all Dimensional Gate Trial Travelers have in common is that they are fearless of dimensional gap rules and time storms."

Upon hearing the old tree's explanation, Green's tricolored eyes flashed.

Are they rule-based life forms born within the dimensional esophagus?

After nodding, Green waved his hand towards the old tree's roots, his voice low and indifferent: "I've collected enough blood food. You've done well. You can leave now."

Old Tree Roots, Ashes, and First Blade were all smiles as they strode away, not caring whether the beautiful dwarf lived or died. Green then turned his tricolored eyes toward the dwarf.

"As for you, I need your Eye of Illusion to aid in my research for the nineteenth phase of my Project: The Face of Truth, so..."

As Green spoke, he was about to make his move when what happened next made him stop and look at the dwarf with a hint of surprise.

The dwarf had gouged out one of his own eyes, letting blood drip from between his eye socket and fingers. The red-eyed dwarf knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and held the red eyeball high.

"Since you need this eye, then I'll offer it to you!"

The hall was eerily quiet. After a long while, the dwarf gritted his teeth and shouted, "If one eye isn't enough, then this eye too..."

"Hehehehe, interesting. Since you have voluntarily offered your services and chosen to submit to the wizard's will, I will not be stingy. Remember, this is a gift from the wizard to you."

With a smirk, Green teleported from the Bone Throne to the dwarf, took the dwarf's eyeball, tossed aside a Philosopher's Stone, and left the hall.

Inside the hall, the red-eyed dwarf trembled with fear, his last remaining scarlet eye looking at the Philosopher's Stone left by Grin, and a moment later a joyful cry rang out.

"Thank you for your great blessing, great wizard!"

With the True Face of Grimm now at its current level, the assistance provided by the Eye of Illusion, which was added to Project 19, is now negligible. Grimm is merely driven by instinct.

However, the relatively better material living conditions in this settlement meant that the exiles were in a much better mental state than those in other settlements.

Therefore, a situation like the Hope Coffin Gathering Grounds, where people recklessly slaughter the ruler, will never occur.

……

The Holy Remains Statue is the oldest existence in the City of Bones and Ashes, and one of the true powerhouses in the deepest illusion of the Dimensional Digestion.

Perhaps slightly inferior to the Demon Doll, but by no means comparable to ordinary Coffin Risers or Predators. More importantly, Green discovered that the entire City of Ashes was the domain of this Holy Remains statue.

The azure patterns on the statue of the holy remains have become one with the entire City of Ashes, which is nearly half the size of the Coffin of Hope, and the power it can gather is unimaginable.

Such a realm would consume an immeasurable amount of resources, far surpassing the Spider Silk Netherworld Palace.

The reason why Green was so concerned about this statue of the Holy Relic was that he discovered through the Face of Truth that the statue of the Holy Relic was not a living being at all, but a shell controlled by a mysterious wave!

Looking back now, this feeling is very similar to the Skynet clones of the Crystal Terminator and Black Terminator from distant memories, except that the feeling of remote control is relatively crude. At that time, even as a level 5 wizard, Green would have found it difficult to make such a distinction.

"You've arrived."

Concealed within the robes of appearance, Green had just entered the slumbering chamber of the holy remains statue when he heard the statue's deep, calm voice, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

Grimm's tricolored eyes looked toward the altar in the hall and were surprised to see a giant eye that had materialized on the altar.

"Hehehehe, all that talk about altars for communicating with the void is just a hoax by the City of Bones. A bunch of crickets in boxes are being played with by you, the great one, without you even realizing it."

This is actually a great ruler who can transcend the boundaries of reality and illusion, using the statue of the holy remains as a vessel for the remote descent of his will!

Such power is unheard of.

I fear its true power within the endless world is terrifyingly strong.

However, Green didn't need to pay any attention to this. After all, they were separated by a distant space-time between reality and illusion. This ruler was powerless to pose any threat to him. In fact, the reason why the statue of the Holy Relic needed to slumber for a long time was precisely because the space-time discrepancy between the deep illusion and reality had crushed the connection between the two.

As for the vessel through which this will descends, the statue of the holy remains itself, Green had no interest whatsoever.

"Powerful exile, I am the dimensional observer. This vessel of your will and the City of Ashes are of great significance to me. You can offer your conditions for leaving the City of Ashes."

The will that dominates across boundaries actually took the initiative to ask Green to set conditions.

Dimensional Inspector?

What is its significance?

The dimensional esophagus left behind a vessel of will. Perhaps the sacrifice in the City of Bones was just a sacrifice by this plane inspector to meet certain conditions for his arrival!

And the significance of monitoring the dimensional esophagus...

Grimm was startled and said in disbelief, "You're waiting for the dimensional war! You're using the dimensional war to glimpse the truth and destiny beyond the box, and you're a powerful being who controls the foundation of the pinnacle of civilization!"

The hall remained silent for a long while, seemingly as the powerful ruler was amazed by Green's wisdom.

"Truth and Destiny? Is that what you call the Great Ripple? I didn't expect you to be able to see this far. Not bad, little thing. What do you need to give up interfering with the City of Bones?"

"Knowledge! Your knowledge! The knowledge that allows your will to pierce through reality and illusory reality!"

Green said eagerly.

"Hmph, the will descending into the illusory world is the foundation of the Plane Watchers civilization, not the knowledge you desire. Fine, here you go with this Time Storm Stone. Don't ever come to Bone City again!"

As he spoke, a dull gray stone was tossed to Green by the statue of the holy remains.

"good!"

Feeling the concentrated power of the Time Storm within, Green's three-colored eyes narrowed, and he readily agreed.

Yesterday's update didn't include a postscript, and several readers actually told me they weren't used to it. Oops!

Bailu just felt embarrassed to ask for more updates since there hadn't been a big release in two chapters. Moreover, after some guidance from fellow readers, Bailu finally realized that the postscript to each chapter could be written in a separate section at the end of the article. Previously, Bailu was used to checking for typos and then typing it out in the text before uploading it all at once.

These past two days, Bai Lu's mental state has improved considerably, and he has begun to meticulously plan the complete flow of the next volume, considering how to narrate the story in a way that makes it more interesting. After all, Grimm has become a protagonist bug. If stories take place in some worlds, how should they be interwoven, what perspective should be used to depict them, and how should the large map be expanded to facilitate the development and contact of the super map between world clusters?

Because Bailu has regained confidence in creating "The Wizard's Journey," as the first work created for the sake of an ideal protagonist whose cognition is constantly growing, Bailu will do its best to express the endless colorfulness, diverse ecosystems, and relationships between different dimensions in the best possible way, so as not to leave you with the regret of a rushed and unsatisfactory ending.

Please feel free to subscribe and support us, receive the divine light of "A Line of Egrets Soaring to the Blue Sky," and encourage us by casting recommendation votes, monthly tickets, and tips every day.

On May Day, Bai Lu will surely unleash a massive surge of activity, starting to upload a new volume after midnight on May 1st.

I'm aiming for the top of the charts in May, and I'll be getting double monthly votes at the beginning of the month. Please help me out!
