Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1540 The Mystery of Death

With the departure of Asura and the closure of the Abyss Gate, the raging waves of this deep ocean gradually began to calm down.

Grimm stood in the sky above this sea area. Even though Grimm's Staff of Truth Balance was not yet fully formed, even as just a dimensional sphere, it was enough to influence the natural laws of the wizarding world with its infinite power.

This is the second year since Grimm returned to the wizarding world. For the past two years, Grimm has been observing the changes in the wizarding world from the perspective of an observer. At the same time, in addition to his Thanksgiving clone, Grimm's real body has been visiting some special wizards with abilities that Grimm values, promoting his views, and painting a beautiful blueprint for the future of the wizarding world, hoping to gain their support.

All of this awaits Green, who, after becoming a true spirit wizard, establishes his own era as the King of Wizards based on the rules of the Ancestor of Wizards!

"Come out. You know, even if you can hide it from Asura, the Blade of the Abyss, you can never hide it from your master's true nature, which sees through the essence of all things."

Suddenly, Green spoke calmly to this empty sea.

After a while, black flames that blotted out the sky gradually emerged from the shadowy clouds, accompanied by some absurd and bizarre phenomena. Dark red hair formed distorted monster faces. Gradually, the dreamlike nothingness transformed into reality, and a figure carrying a dark red, restrained, and upright furnace appeared below the dimensional sphere.

This person was none other than Green's second disciple, the Nightmare Purgatory Saint Mark Wizard Blacksock!

It turns out that Green came to this sea area not because of the Abyss Blade Ashura, but to search for Black Chain, and only accidentally discovered the Abyss Blade Ashura.

Given the vastness of the wizarding world, even the True Spirit Ruler could not be omniscient and omnipotent; he is merely an extremely powerful life form within this boundless world.

Blacksock gazed at Green, and similarly, Blacksock clearly felt the overwhelming and oppressive force that Asura, the Blade of the Abyss, faced.

"tutor."

At this moment, the furnace that Blackrock shoulder was the very same Infernal Furnace that once belonged to the King of Erbardan!

Compared to Asura gaining infinite power by slaughtering the world's sorcerers, Ebadam needs to constantly forge stronger lives to obtain infinite blessings in order to forge the Infernal Furnace. It is difficult to judge which is stronger or weaker at the moment.

Having obtained the Infernal Furnace, and wielding the talent of the Infernal Fire that the Black Tortoise Saint Mark Wizard fell to in the Infernal Furnace during the Second Era, the power of Black Tortoise had also reached an incredible level. After the brutal baptism of the Civilization War, in the early stages of the new era and chaos, many outstanding individuals began to emerge in the glorious years, presenting a golden age for the wizarding world, which would never easily appear in a peaceful era!

"It was my body's instincts that brought me here."

Hessock explained.

That's right. At this moment, the three incarnations of the Soul Wedding Dress are half-mermaid, that is, half-sea creature. Asura's rampant slaughter of the sea creatures has already made the Black Chain bloodline feel a sense of hatred and crisis.

"Hehehe, you'd better tell the truth in front of Eighth Master. If your mentor hadn't intervened and suppressed Asura, how much longer would you have had to wait? Did you not have any chance of winning?"

Xiao Ba asked Hei Suo directly.

Blacksock hesitated slightly, then said in a low voice, "In order to completely control the power of this furnace and replace the undying fighting spirit of King Abadon, I dispelled all the forging enhancements the furnace had received, and only recently have I truly mastered it. Before coming here, I thought I had a 90% chance of winning, but after seeing the Abyss Blade here, I realized that my chances were less than 50%, which is why I hesitated to show myself until my mentor forced the Abyss Blade to unleash its full power, at which point I realized that I might only have a 10% chance of winning."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba chuckled and said nothing more.

Green, possessing the face of data-driven truth, had already made an evaluation and judgment of both sides. At this moment, Blacksock was indeed no match for Asura, the Abyss Blade.

"However, the Purgatory Furnace has not yet received the blessing of forging. I only need to keep fighting and forging with the corpses of the strong, and I will surely have the power to overwhelm it."

Hasso's explanation made Green shake his head.

"Now that the war of civilizations has ended and the world communities have been unified, the wizarding world is in dire need of rebuilding and requires a long period of rest and recuperation to establish new rules in the midst of chaos. How can we provide you with a continuous supply of powerful corpses from battle for forging furnaces? By the time you slowly collect them in the edge world, the body-refining wizarding faction in the deep abyss may have already wiped out the sea races and gained even greater power."

As he spoke, Green's tricolored eyes gazed into the depths of the ocean, seemingly piercing through layers of barriers and seeing the shadow in the ocean's depths that resembled a continent.

"With your eternal soul and the newly crowned Mermaid King as ruler, and the fact that the Abyss Knights of Perseverance Academy advanced through bloodline witchcraft and will not join the battle, and the Abyss is nothing but four True Spirits, what right do you have to declare war? Why don't you make a move?"

Glug, glug, glug...

With just a few bubbles rising, the enormous shadow gradually receded from the sea, and Green could clearly feel the helplessness and sorrow of the most ancient life form in the wizarding world.

"I cannot disobey the terms of the ancient contract of fate after our defeat. The Mermaid King can only temporarily protect the more intelligent Sea Kings as much as possible. As the abyss continues to encroach upon us, their ambition and greed will only grow. The future of the sea race will only exist in legends."

Yes!

In ancient times, the Black Witch King and the True Spirit Wizard joined forces to lead the wizards to defeat the sea tribe. The reason why the Sea King's Sacrifice has survived to this day must be because an extremely unequal treaty was signed. Speaking of which, Green has never looked at the specific content of the original version of this fate contract in detail.

The Sea King departed silently, and no one knew what it felt like to watch one of its low-intelligence members die so close to him.

This is the sorrow of the sea.

"Mentor, I'm leaving."

Hesse's bloodline seemed to be infected by the sorrow of the sea, and he was unwilling to stay any longer, bidding farewell to Green.

"Wait a moment."

Green and the Sea King Priest communicated secretly, unbeknownst to Blackthorn. Blackthorn suddenly stopped the disciple who was about to leave, his three-colored eyes flashing. After a moment's thought, he suddenly said, "Judging from your Blackthorn World's forging, it still needs a long time to perfect. It's unlikely to advance to True Spirit level in the short term. During this time, you'll likely focus on reforging the furnace. I do know of a world that can provide you with a continuous source of power for battle, and if necessary, the Black Witch King might even save you from danger. Are you interested?"

"The Black Witch King!?"

Hodge stared at Green in astonishment, and said in a low voice, "You mean, the Chaos World?"

"Hmph, that's right! You and the Black Witch King are both researchers of the mysteries of death; you must have had some interaction in ancient times, right?"

Green asked confidently.

Blacksock remained silent, looking at Green with some hesitation and conflict. After a long while, he slowly said, "If the dimensional gap is the most widely used energy and material barrier between dimensions, using endless imagination to block cognition between different dimensions while also conducting indirect communication, then the Underworld is the barrier of rules, mysterious and profound. It is a transit point connecting higher dimensions to life and death. In the past, it seemed that only the Black Witch King and I explored the mysteries of death within it. But now, we will have the addition of the Third Ring True Spirit Wizard and you, my mentor."

"Gah!?"

"Um!?"

Green and Xiao Ba were truly astonished for a long time by the Third Ring True Spirit Wizard's "resurrection." Could someone really be able to come back to life?

Absolutely impossible! The Third Ring True Spirit Wizard must have somehow avoided the Star Orbiter Cannon attack!

Why do you say that?

Green asked in astonishment, why he was involved, and what was this about the Third Ring True Spirit Wizard?

"The method by which a third-ring True Spirit Wizard travels to the Underworld is unknown. The only possibility I can think of is the Lever of Fate, after all, it's a magic staff with infinite possibilities; it's the embodiment of miracles. As for you, Master..."

Hasso looked down at Green's feet.

"It's your shadow! The journey to the other side of the underworld depends on your experience of death. Think carefully, have any strange or inexplicable phenomena occurred recently? Those are the guidance that the other side of the underworld is giving you."

Strange phenomenon?

After being reminded by Blacksock, Green immediately thought of the bizarre things that happened after he drew the dimensional gap runes in the Tower of Annihilation's secret realm. Even his cockroaches were often taken away by those strange creatures.

Could that be the other side, the realm of the Yellow Springs?!

As for one's own shadow, it experiences death...

Lafite!

Green took a deep breath, his voice filled with doubt and contradiction, and asked, "Is it possible to be resurrected in the underworld?"

"What kind of question is that, Master? Isn't controlling life and death the ultimate pursuit of all dark wizards? If one can be resurrected, then one must become a higher-dimensional being. In their higher level of understanding that transcends time and space, perhaps our life and death are nothing at all. Even the history of our wizarding world is just a brief moment in their eyes, or perhaps they even have the ability to travel through time?"

Blackso chuckled mockingly, then continued, "What's the price you'll pay for opening the gate to the Chaos World with this information, as my mentor?"
