Wizard's Journey

Chapter 153 Times Have Changed

A shadow swept across the land, like a mountain peak floating in the sky.

When the colossal tortoise of the Tiandu Peak appeared at the edge of the Life Tree defensive shield of the Seven Rings Holy Tower, a wizard guardian wearing a purple-gray robe riding on a giant mutated dragonfly immediately came forward to greet it.

"The Seventh Ring Messenger".

This wizard guardian's level should be far lower than the wizard guardian that appeared in the Black Sea vortex, yet he took the initiative to perform wizard rituals upon seeing the giant tortoise of the Heavenly Capital Peak.

Unlike during a wizard's apprenticeship.

At this moment, Green had already advanced to the rank of a formal wizard. In the vague sense of his soul's instinct to control the power of nature, Green could feel that both the guardian in front of him and the guardian that appeared in the Black Sea vortex seemed to be faintly connected by a chain of wizarding world rules.

Although it was unclear what this meant, it was enough to deter a witch-hunting wizard like Grimm from any thought of resistance.

Could it be...

This is one of the keys to the absolute control of the natural forces by the Stigmata Wizard: the control of the rules?

At this moment, although Nairo, Yubo, Grin, and the two Ming Wizards were all standing on the head of the giant tortoise of Tiandu Peak, their aura and appearance were very different from before they went to the Heart of the World, and some of them had even undergone fundamental changes.

The two with the biggest differences are undoubtedly Hellroar and Green.

At this moment, Yubo's withered skin resembled the wrinkled bark of an old tree, his eyes were extremely cloudy, and his entire body exuded a deathly aura. However, among the elemental wizards, his invisible power was the strongest, so strong that it was enough to suppress any of the five wizard apprentices present.

If Nairo were to fight him at this moment, he would have absolutely no hope.

As for Green, he appeared tall and strong, with a vibrant life force emanating wildly from within. In the eyes of the common people, he was the strongest of the five demon hunter wizards at this moment, but in the eyes of the elemental wizards, his hidden aura was the weakest!

Moreover, it is extremely weak.

Yes……

At this point, although Green had successfully advanced to become a formal wizard and possessed the power to manipulate nature that no wizard apprentice could resist, his mental strength had degenerated to 12 points. Even if Green released his strongest explosive fire magic, the attack angle would only be 110 to 130 degrees.

In some respects, while Grimm is powerful enough to suppress any wizard apprentice, any body-refining wizard or level-one otherworldly creature could easily defeat Grimm, who only possesses elemental wizard techniques, using only his elemental wizard methods.

In other words, if Green were to face Cameron at this moment, he would most likely be in a passive and suppressed state.

Of course, given Green's current physical condition, it would be no easy task for Carmelo to defeat him; it would most likely be a draw.

Boom, boom...

The giant tortoise of Tiandu Peak slowly opened its black rock eyelids. The scene was so quiet it was almost oppressive. Everyone, from Green and his companions to the guardians in front and even the arcane wizards looking up from the distant ground checkpoints, held their breath and remained silent.

A short while later.

The giant tortoise of Tiandu Peak seemed to have realized what was happening and slowly said, "Hmm? This is... have we reached the Seventh Ring Holy Tower checkpoint? If so, then my mission is complete. These peak wizard apprentices have successfully advanced to formal wizards at the Heart of the World. Now, I'll leave them to you to assign."

Green's eyes twitched beneath his pale mask, and the other witch hunters reacted in different ways as well.

It seems that the giant tortoise of Tiandu Peak did not wake up along the way; it simply flew back by some instinct while asleep.

On the contrary, the guardian in front of them was not strange at all. He nodded and gestured for Green and the others to come over to him. Green and the others naturally flew over without hesitation and said goodbye to the giant tortoise one by one.

"Yes, I hope to see you again in the Seventh Ring World someday. I have memorized your aura," said the giant tortoise of the Heavenly Capital Peak.

Those who can enter the Seventh Ring World, besides the internal Demon Hunter Wizards, are naturally Level 3 Demon Hunter Wizards.

As the guardian riding on the giant dragonfly slowly descended to the ground, more than twenty arcane wizards on the ground looked up and watched. When they saw the group descending from the giant tortoise that blotted out the sun, they all made way for them, looking at them with astonishment and envy.

Green and his companions remained unmoved. After a brief confirmation, they entered the defensive shield one by one.

"Woof woof woof, great Master Grimm, is this the Seven-Ring Holy Tower Wizard's Shield you mentioned? Isn't this an infinitely magnified version of the World Heart Will materialization technology that that old bastard... oh no, that great guiding pioneer wizard researched before his fall? Modern wizards can actually... can actually materialize the World Will to this extent? It's unbelievable!" Little Eight said in a low, flattering voice while standing on Grimm's shoulder.

At this moment, the steel-badged myna was furious with Green, but because of the extremely close bond between their original souls, its anger had to be submitted to Green's 'tyranny'.

Green shook his head and said calmly, "The wizarding civilization is constantly developing and progressing. Especially after the Second Civilization War, although the wizarding civilization was defeated, it has produced countless things that ancient wizards wouldn't have dared to even imagine. Perhaps the current wizarding world is not as powerful as it was at its peak in ancient times, but its potential for development has already surpassed the imagination of ancient wizards!"

After saying this, Green glanced at the Steel Badge Myna, who was looking at him with a face full of astonishment, and asked, "Do you know what the Wizarding League is?"

"Wizard Alliance? What's that?" the myna asked curiously.

Green thought for a moment and explained, "The Wizarding Alliance is a contractual alliance formed by the top True Spirit Wizards in the Wizarding World and the top creatures of the surrounding Great Worlds, with the Wizarding Civilization as the leader. They jointly enjoy the rights of management and survival within the territory ruled by the Wizarding Civilization."

"How is that possible!"

The myna let out a shriek, but then seemed to realize something. Afraid of attracting attention, it lowered its voice and whispered, "Why didn't the wizarding world completely conquer those backward, primitive worlds? They're just one or two primitive native creatures. The ancient wizarding world is..."

Green sighed and said calmly, "Because times have changed."

After saying that, Green ignored the myna bird on his shoulder that was almost petrified and followed the guardian into the defensive shield, flying towards the distant, towering Tree of Life.

This myna bird, in some ways, is just an old-fashioned relic with outdated ideas.

Even if it was once a soul servant of that great being, it probably doesn't even know about the impending destruction crisis facing the Wizarding World right now, since the rift in the Heart of the Wizarding World was caused by the lever of fate.

Perhaps the ancient wizards are portrayed as exceptionally powerful by modern wizards, making it seem as if modern wizards are far inferior to the great achievements and powerful abilities of the ancient wizards, and unable to achieve those incomprehensible world-changing feats.

But the reality is...

Every modern wizard is actually far stronger than the ancient wizards!

Although the overall strength of modern wizarding civilization is not as great as that of the ancient wizarding world at its peak, the thoughts and abilities of each modern wizard, and even the overall system and planning of the wizarding world, are far more advanced and powerful than those of the ancient wizarding world.

The reason why modern wizards revere the power of ancient wizards is simply due to the subconscious guidance of bloodline and knowledge inheritance, as well as the various great ancient relics.

However, many wizards do not realize that anything that ancient wizards could leave behind to the present day is only the greatest and most essential part of those ancient wizards. The endless dregs of knowledge and even the wizarding theories that modern wizards consider wrong and outdated have long since disappeared with the flow of history.

even……

The ancient struggle between ancient wizards and marine life, and the countless relics left behind by the epic war with distant and unknown civilizations, created the water curtain sky, the sea of ​​bones of the human race's will, and the world fragments surrounding the wizard world. However, the ancient wizards never considered the protection of the wizard world itself.

Because, even if there were changes within the wizarding civilization at that time, they were simply not enough to destroy itself.

However, after the end of the First Civilization War, the ancient wizards of the modern era, due to their own growth and development, had to build floating cities called "Island Continents" in order to protect the wizarding world from the destruction caused by the ever-expanding development of wizarding civilization.

It was during that period that a mass extinction occurred in the wizarding world.

If internal chaos were to occur in the wizarding civilization at this time, it would be enough to plunge the wizarding world into destruction!

however……

When the wizarding civilization developed to the modern wizarding stage, all the main bodies of the Holy Towers could only be built in the fragments of the surrounding world of the wizarding world. No battles of any level above the Saint Mark Wizard level ever appeared on the continent again. The only Sky City in the wizarding world only served as a historical memorial and a space fortress factory of the original will.

If some kind of internal chaos were to occur in the wizarding world at this time, it would likely be enough to completely destroy all traces of its existence.

Such terrifying and catastrophic consequences are something that even the most emotionless dark wizard would not dare to face!

All these historical facts and inferences point to the same thing.

That is……

The wizarding civilization is constantly progressing.

Even though this long-suffering civilization has faced extinction and disappearance several times, undergone countless major changes, and given rise to numerous branches with different ideologies, it has still managed to grow tenaciously and vigorously.

It has gradually begun to move towards its own development trajectory and mature.
