Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1623 The World Is About to Perish

Five hundred years later.

Wang Wang Wang!

A howl, like a dog's bark, came from above, breaking the silence of the dark cave and startling the sleeping dwarf.

"Waaaaah, Mommy, I'm scared!"

In the dark underground cave, the little dwarf nestled in his mother's arms, his voice choked with sobs, trembling and whimpering, as if he had just had another nightmare about the wizard.

The gurgling sound of flowing water—this underground river in the karst cave is the life source of this subterranean dwarf tribe.

The water brought by the underground river caused moss to grow on the stone slabs, and some fungi flourished. Some bioluminescent fish swam in the underground current, forming a unique ecosystem in this relatively enclosed space. It is precisely because of this that this underground dwarf tribe has been able to hide here and survive to this day.

On the continent of gods, wizards roam freely, and the land has long been devoid of life.

Wizards used evil powers to continuously pollute the world. No one could stop their advance, no one could resist their destructive march. One god after another fell. Hundreds of years passed, and with the extinction of the earth's ecosystem, the dawn of the gods had long been forgotten by the very few surviving beings, and cultural heritage was thus severed.

Even if the wizarding legions were to leave this world now, the pantheon could not be restored, and this world would likely embark on a new path of evolution.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mom is here. This is the safest place in the world. Those wizards will never find us, never!"

The mother held the little dwarf tightly in her arms. Elsewhere in the underground cave, a group of emaciated creatures slowly crawled over. They moved very slowly and silently, clearly very adapted to the dark environment.

Wang Wang Wang!

The roars of the beasts on the ground grew more intense, and suddenly a hoarse, deep voice said, "When I was breeding this chimera, I added Cerberus activated flesh and blood, and it smelled the urine from this spring."

The underground dwarfs were terrified and prayed incessantly.

"Could it be that some slave of another wizard passed through here and stayed behind?"

Another wizard looked at the spring and asked.

As the death messengers of the ley lines world, and the claws of the annihilation wizards who destroy the world, for hundreds of years all wizards have had only one mission: to completely extinguish the life force of this world, thereby erasing its will to protect it.

Only in this way can the wizards regret leaving their homeland, the wizarding world, which they have abandoned for thousands of years.

"No, it sensed weakness and fear in this urine. There must be some cockroaches hiding upstream of this spring. Heh heh heh heh, we've really hit the jackpot this time!"

As if he had discovered some treasure, the wizard spoke excitedly, his voice revealing undisguised evil and cruelty.

From that moment on, the underground dwarves knew that death had come, it was only a matter of time. No one had ever been able to escape after being targeted by a wizard, no one.

……

call out!

The hatch of a high-end, luxurious anti-gravity hovercraft opened, and Lu Lianman, along with Xiao Ba and Ye Ye, stepped off and arrived at the headquarters of the World Destruction Base.

Over centuries of conquest, the wizards have wreaked havoc everywhere, yet they have built this base ever larger and more prosperous. Wizards come and go in an endless stream, high-ranking slave monsters roam freely, patrolling legions of metal robots are perfectly aligned, buildings and wizard towers stand in abundance, and altars of all sizes are a sight to behold.

As a Stigmata Wizard, Lulianman's arrival was greeted by several patrolling Stigmata Wizards.

"I have met the great Leaf Whisper Saint Mark Wizard."

Several wizards bowed respectfully, and Lu Lianman nodded, calmly saying, "I have come to see the Holy Mark Wizard of the Tower of Annihilation."

"Master, please follow me."

A short while later, several wizards, following procedure, led the Ye Zhiyu Saint Mark Wizard to the Peerless Tower Saint Mark Wizard. As the spiritual pillar of the World Destroyer Legion, high-level wizards must go through the Peerless Tower Saint Mark Wizard to meet Grin.

"Hmm? Master Lulianman!"

Standing up, Cappuccino gestured for the wizard who had led the way to leave, then asked in surprise, "Master, what happened?"

"Where is Master Green?"

"Lu Lianman asked."

Just then, Hachi complained, "Damn it, where did Grimmon go? I can't contact him at all! Could he have been sealed away? What's going on?!"

Cappuccino said slowly, "My mentor discovered a mysterious space when he first arrived in this world. It is said to be the divine kingdom of an ancient god. According to my mentor, there are some phenomena and strange things inside that even he cannot understand. It is very dangerous. He has been exploring it for decades with Blood Rain, Demon Doll and several masters. Several masters have already gained something and returned, but my mentor and the others are still inside."

"I see."

Lulianman nodded in understanding, then hesitated and said, "I came here because of the progress of the extinction of the world's will, but the matter is of great importance and only Green can make a decision."

To completely destroy the Heart of the World, one must first extinguish the World Will, or at least reduce it to less than five percent of its original value.

However, over the years, the lower the world's will has been, the slower the extinction process has become. It has taken the Wizarding World's World Destruction Legion more than sixty years to reduce the percentage from eight percent to seven percent, which is astonishingly slow. And it is probably impossible to reduce the percentage from seven percent to below five percent without two or three hundred years. This has become a generally accepted fact.

"Oh?"

Cappuccino's eyes gleamed with curiosity as he said with great interest, "What method did you come up with, Master? My mentor has given me a lot of power, and I can even organize some things now. Hehe, consider this a surprise."

Lu Lianman hesitated slightly, while Xiao Ba chuckled and said, "You definitely can't make this decision. It means breaking the contract and wiping out the dragon race!"

Xiao Ba was really quick to speak, and Lu Lianman could only sigh and continue talking despite her reluctance.

"This matter was discovered by the wizards below. As you know, compared to us Stigmata wizards, the wizards below have a stronger homesickness for the wizarding world and look forward to returning as soon as possible. That's why they entrusted me to report this matter to Grin through other Stigmata wizards. Whether it succeeds or not, at least we made an attempt."

After a pause, Lu Lianman said, "Although the higher dragon races have completely broken free from the will of the ley lines world through the blood of the Earthwalker Behemoth, in reality, only two or three out of millions of dragons have truly achieved this. The lower dragons, especially those born after the War of the Gods, are still beings of this world. It is because of their existence that they contribute about two to three percent of the remaining will of this world. If we can exterminate these dragons, completing the remaining targets will be just around the corner."

Gaa gaa gaa gaa...

Xiao Ba's sinister laugh made Ye Ye, who was standing nearby, very uncomfortable. She exclaimed, "You can't make that lewd laugh during such a serious time! It's so annoying!"

On the other hand, Cappuccino really hadn't expected Lulianman's suggestion to be this.

As for the homesickness of the lower-level wizards, Cappuccino knew and could understand it. First came the war of civilizations, then the expedition to the Leyline World. This generation of wizards was far more tragic than himself.

Cappuccino's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Only my mentor can decide this matter. The contract between the Dragon Clan and the Wizard Alliance was entirely handled by my mentor. This matter is of great importance, and I will go to see my mentor immediately!"
