Fifty years.
The speed of Mana's fusion was much faster than Levi had imagined.
On one hand, Mana's strength had become stronger than before.
On the other hand, it was due to the Blood Vortex Venerable's cooperation.
In short, with the right timing, geographical advantages, and cooperation, Levi was finally able to come out of seclusion.
The final fusion work lasted for a month.
During this time, Levi didn't dare to be distracted for a moment, worried that the movements and changes here would be too great and attract powerful enemies.
Finally, the divine tree phantom in the starry sky slowly dissipated.
At the same time, the Black Marsh World also disappeared.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Yunmeng Marsh.
The Turtle Prime Minister, who had advanced to the Sixth Ring, lazily stretched his old waist.
Unlike most dragons who liked to play wildly in the Nightmare World.
Lati preferred quietness, and was indeed not good at fighting, mostly being passively beaten.
Perhaps that was the meaning of stacking armor.
Her usual work was mainly to take care of the flowers and plants in Yunmeng Marsh and to be responsible for the Dragon Palace's chores.
Buzz! The world changed dramatically, and the wind and clouds surged.
A dark and deep crack still appeared in the sky above Yunmeng Marsh.
"Is it about to be completed?"
Lati thought to herself.
The Dragon Palace's members woke up from their dreams, turned over, and looked towards the sky above Yunmeng Marsh.
There, it seemed that the projection of another world was merging with this world.
They could feel that the land beneath their feet was growing and spreading towards the borders of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations.
The crystal wall, like a developing embryo, was getting bigger, thicker, and more stable.
Flame Mountain, Little Frost Mountain, Yunmeng Marsh... and other blessed lands also expanded their borders accordingly.
The earth seemed to have opened its Dragon Spine, with intricate mountain ranges resembling a dense spider web.
Plate movements were extremely intense, and smoke and magma spewed out from many places.
The Sky was gray, and the gale layer was becoming more and more violent.
Unlike the gentle fusion in the past, this time it seemed very violent.
This was inevitable when merging a complete medium-sized world.
Within the blessed lands, the light of the barriers flowed above various extraordinary botanical gardens and medicinal gardens.
The Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm already had contingency plans for all of this.
All extraordinary creatures spontaneously returned to their respective residences.
Skyfire Fortress, Black Soul Magic Tower, Ancient Shell Palace, everyone poked their heads out, curiously and nervously watching...
Until the Sky regained its blue color, and the earth no longer trembled.
Above Yunmeng Marsh, an oval-shaped space portal was permanently left behind.
It led to a secondary plane, the Black Marsh Secret Realm.
The portal opened, and a withered leech, as if devoid of moisture and only skin remained, fell out.
It raised its head, looking at the blue sea and blue sky that were different from the Black Marsh World.
"Hahaha, I've lived a second life!"
Blood Vortex Venerable shouted happily, from the bottom of his heart.
For the past thousand years of the Multiverse convergence, he had been enduring torment every moment.
That feeling of knowing his death was approaching, yet being powerless and helpless, was truly despairing.
In the center of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
On the great prairie, a giant banyan tree, towering 30,000 meters high with a canopy covering hundreds of miles, stood on the earth.
In terms of size, Mana was the largest creature Levi had ever seen.
For a Divine Tree, this size was nothing, still in its infancy.
Countless green particles flew out, transforming into an increasingly mature and graceful figure.
Mana wore a floral wreath like a crown on her head, and a long green veil trailed behind her.
A gentle breeze came, and the gauze skirt clung tightly to her increasingly solid body, curvaceous and captivating.
"Wow, so beautiful."
The girl exclaimed sincerely, Idrasera danced around Mana like an elf.
Finally, she didn't forget to wrap her slender arms around Mana's waist from behind.
"You're Eighth Ring," Idrasera said.
Mana said, "Yes."
Her whole temperament seemed different from before.
She had lost a bit of her gentleness and cuteness, and gained some maturity and heroism.
She came to Yunmeng Marsh, where Blood Vortex Venerable was frolicking in the swamp like an ordinary worm, rolling in the mud.
The joy of living a second life was hard for ordinary people to understand.
"How is it, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. The last time I was this happy was when I became the Plane Dominator of the Black Marsh World."
Dragon Palace members, Shell Demons, and transcendent creatures gathered from all directions, surrounding the towering ancient banyan tree.
This scene was like believers worshiping their Mountain God! "Lady Mana is even bigger."
"Yeah, I can't even see the top."
Levi arrived at the entrance to the Black Marsh World.
Blood Vortex Venerable's respect for Levi at this moment was like the Yellow River, surging endlessly.
The Black Marsh World hadn't changed much from before.
However, after becoming a secondary Secret Realm, it had shrunk a bit.
This was because a portion of its spatial energy had been absorbed by the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Mana introduced, "The current Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm is 130,000 miles from east to west, 90,000 miles from north to south, 30,000 zhang high, and 50,000 miles deep."
Levi was very satisfied.
Even without counting the Ice Sea Secret Realm and the Black Marsh Secret Realm, the area of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm far exceeded that of the Ancient Dragon Continent.
A more vast territory meant more blessed lands and resources.
He said, "Blood Vortex, you will be the behind-the-scenes guardian of the Black Marsh World. In the future, other Wizards may come here to develop it."
Blood Vortex said, "Your subordinate understands."
In general, the Black Marsh World was not a resource treasure land in the conventional sense.
It was filled with miasma, poisonous gas, and many poisonous insects.
Levi felt that it was quite suitable for Wizards of the Insect School to cultivate strange insects and plant plants for refining poison here.
In the future, it still had to be utilized and not abandoned.
In addition, the Blood Vortex Venerable has now become a secondary Plane Dominator, his life and death completely controlled by Mana.
If there aren't enough slots for Extremely Dark Enslavement in the future, he can be released.
There's no rush now; there's still plenty of room.
Levi and Mana came to the Small Stone Pond and sat facing each other.
The Small Stone Pond can now be called a lake, with the Fountain of Youth gushing out and flowing in all directions.
The developed water system irrigates the blessed lands within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Outside the Fountain of Youth's watershed, Oasis One is planted on a large scale.
The low-level demon corpses piled underneath provide a constant stream of nutrients, which are converted into elemental power.
With the blessing of the Fountain of Youth and Oasis One, the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm's rich elemental power far exceeds the current level of Nora.
Cultivating and growing here will naturally be faster.
Therefore, the advancement speed of the extraordinary creatures raised by Levi, even without Dragon Scale Fruit and other natural treasures, is incomparable to that in the wild.
Levi said, "How do you feel now?"
Mana: "Very good. After advancing to the Eighth Ring, my methods are far superior to before."
Immediately afterward, Mana showed a little of her power.
She pointed to a small grass on the ground and gently blew on it.
Under Levi's gaze, the grass grew at a visible rate, flowered, bore fruit, and then withered, turning into seeds scattered on the ground.
"You can accelerate the growth of plants? Can you do that with extraordinary plants?"
Levi's heart stirred.
Mana said, "Yes, but not as exaggerated as with ordinary things."
She took Levi's hand and came to the Ancient Banyan King's main body.
Then, she gently stroked Levi's eyes with her palm, and a green light flashed in Levi's pupils.
He looked at the Banyan Tree, his expression changing.
Hundreds of millions of miniature figures, like a flood, surged into the Four Seas and Eight Desolations of the Immortal Realm with the air currents.
These little people were all green, exactly like Mana.
"This is Mana Power. Through it, I can subtly influence all living beings in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. I can make the weak flourish or wither with a single thought, and I can make the strong follow my will, evolving themselves generation after generation in a stronger and better direction. I can construct a Mana Ecological World influenced by the Mana Will."
Levi was shocked, and he asked:
"This… is this a use of the Divine Tree's power?"
Mana said, "Yes, every true Divine Tree is a unique existence in the world, but all Divine Trees need to learn two compulsory courses: one is [Genesis], and the other is [Creation]. Genesis is about changing the world and creating a world carried by the Divine Tree's power, while [Creation] is about influencing the creatures within its world through its own will, granting them the potential for evolution. The Pandora Elf race was created by the Divine Tree existence called the [Pandora Matriarch], and the Golden Absolute Clan was created by the [Golden Ancient Tree]."
Levi suddenly understood.
"So, you can also give birth to your own biological race? Pioneering a unique extraordinary path for them?"
Mana said, "Theoretically, yes, but with my current Eighth Ring realm, I can't create living beings yet. I can only make some insignificant optimizations to existing living beings. My body may still lack some key power, the power that Divine Trees can use to conceive living beings. This power may come from the ancestor of all Divine Trees, the supreme [Origin Will]!"
Levi: "What you have obtained now is an incomplete [Creation] authority, is that right?"
Mana nodded slightly: "Yes, I don't know how to complete it. It may require advancing to the Ninth Ring, or it may require communicating with the ethereal [Origin Will]."
Levi was silent.
[Origin Will].
This was a powerful existence he couldn't understand, definitely above the Tenth Ring.
How could something that could give birth to world trees like the [Golden Ancient Tree] and the [Pandora Matriarch], which created civilizations, be ordinary?
After chatting with Mana for a long time, Levi learned a lot more about the knowledge of Divine Trees.
The happiest one was Idrasera.
As an Immortal Banyan Dragon, the stronger the World Tree it was entrenched in, the faster its own growth would be.
The previous Magic Tree, although older, did not have an independent will.
Unlike Mana, who truly has the hope of becoming a World Tree.
Levi toured the brand-new Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Perhaps because of the transformation of the Immortal Realm, many rare plants have flowered and borne fruit.
The Immortal Realm has once again ushered in a harvest.
In the fertile soil, the giant earthworm A Long, over ten thousand meters long, stretched its body back and forth.
Loose and fertile soil is the cornerstone of nurturing everything!
In the sky, A Die, with a wingspan of ten thousand meters, cut through the Sky Dome and descended with nectar and jade dew.
Land and water are the source of most life.
The ocean surrounding the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm has also expanded a lot, providing ample growing environment for sea beasts.
The Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion, the land of the dead, has also progressed and expanded, and has obviously benefited.
Now, within a radius of three thousand miles, it is all a kingdom of the undead.
The Black Soul Magic Tower stands on it, with countless undead shuttling through it.
"Great, it's getting closer and closer to a perfect world."
In a thought, Levi's figure disappeared, flashing to the Golden Light Cave tens of thousands of miles away with the [Formless Secret Word].
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! The [Sword of Victory] trembled non-stop.
"Oh, even this [King's Sword] has been nurtured, but unfortunately, I'm already an Eighth Ring Wizard."
Strictly speaking, the nurturing speed of this King's Sword is already very fast, only eight hundred years.
It has shortened its original growth cycle of thousands of years by several times.
But Levi's promotion is too fast.
"Even a mosquito's leg is still meat."
Levi quickly refined it, which can be regarded as completing the refining of this series of wonders.
His mental Strength increased by 60 points, which should be considered the highest grade among Morning Star wonders, very good.
There was no accompanying spiritual creature, and his gold element talent increased a bit.
Suddenly, Levi's expression changed.
In his mind, many phantom images of wonders floated.
These are all proofs of his refining wonders.
Suddenly, the phantoms representing the [Dust Citizen Sword], [Knight's Sword], and [White Emperor Holy Sword] flickered.
Then, they began to merge with the phantom of the latest [King's Sword].
"This... is interesting."
Levi watched quietly.
In the end, the four wonder phantoms merged into one.
What came into view was a golden great sword engraved with scenes of slash-and-burn cultivation, houses and people, military formations and battlefields, kings and generals, the imperial palace on the top of the sky, mountains and rivers, and even the Sun Flare, Full Moon, and stars.
"Dust Citizen, Knight, King, White Emperor, the four swords combine into one, it is... the Nation-Protecting Sword!"
In the dark, Levi seemed to have discovered a hidden function after refining these four wonders.
"Protecting the nation and securing the country."
This is an indescribable effect, similar to luck and fortune.
The [Lovers Rune] can amplify Levi's luck.
The [Coin of Transferring Luck] can also bring Levi good luck.
These are all for individuals.
The Nation-Protecting Sword, however, is aimed at a collective.
The collective here refers to those who accept Levi's management or rule.
For example, the Dragon Palace, or the Ancient Dragon Continent.
All living beings living under the light of Levi, this leader.
In the dark, they can all receive the blessing of the Nation-Protecting Sword.
The "nation" here is a concept, not a specific country.
Of course, if it were placed in the Era of the End of Magic and given to a kingdom's monarch, it would affect their subjects and knights.
In short, this effect increases continuously with the improvement of Levi's strength, status, and position.
It can be said that this is an extremely awesome effect.
In the words of his previous life, this is the ability to suppress the luck of a country or even a race.
Suppose Levi is the Speaker of the Great Assembly, or the spiritual leader of the Wizarding World.
Then, wherever Levi's glory shines, the luck of this civilization will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Under the influence of the leader, it can even be gradually improved.
"I didn't expect that the three seemingly inconspicuous Wonders would have such an effect."
"Perhaps Arthur, who forged this Eighth Ring Strange Treasure, didn't expect it to be like this. After all, the birth of the White Emperor Holy Sword was purely accidental, and it will be difficult for a second one to appear. There will be no more White Emperor Child in the world."
"If Arthur had been strong enough, this Strange Treasure would definitely be Ninth Ring, comparable to the Oath Sword."
Levi regretted.
He put the Sword of Victory back in its place.
In the Sword Mound World, the Dust Citizen Sword began to gestate again.
These three Sword Wonders are different from ordinary Wonders.
According to Arthur's idea, it was originally intended for the warriors of his empire to refine.
In other words, the Knights of the Twilight Temple can also refine them through special methods, obtaining effects different from those of spellcasters.
For example, enhancing combat skill talent.
With the current elemental conditions of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm and Levi's financial resources, it can be promoted at some cost.
Basically, it can be guaranteed that a Dust Citizen Sword will be produced every 10 years, a Knight's Sword every 40 years, and a King's Sword every 200 years.
In this way, it can be guaranteed that 10 Dust Citizen Swords will be produced steadily every century.
These Wonders will be placed in the Twilight Temple for outstanding Knights to exchange and refine.
Even Knights can refine a tailor-made Earth Wonder to obtain some improvements.
The overall level of the Twilight Temple can also be improved.
Star Realm Ruin Sea.
Levi wandered through it, heading to the location of the first Darkness Treasure Map.
Poro World.
It's only about a year's journey from the Black Marsh World.
Of course, it may take decades for other Eighth Ring Wizards.
This Treasure Map was drawn by a Sixth Ring Wizard and is worth 400 million Great Stones.
It is recorded on it that there is a suspected alien ruin in that world.
With his strength, he couldn't beat the fierce beasts on the periphery of the ruins, so he gave up.
He also swore that what he said was absolutely true.
Many traveling Wizards rely on selling clues to treasures in various Multiverses to make money.
A year later, Levi arrived at the location of the Poro World.
This was just a medium-sized world with alien civilizations on it.
The strongest were only at the Sixth Ring cultivation level.
Levi arrived at the location of the ruins, only to find that someone seemed to have beaten him to it.
Half a day later, Levi left the Poro World.
Inside the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, there was a large pile of white jade stone pillars and bricks that looked to be of good quality.
"Too late, it's already been snatched away by passing Darkness pirates."
Those building materials were worth several million Great Stones, which wasn't bad.
Levi had a good attitude and continued to the second location, called the Fermi World.
It was said that there was an Ocean Faction Wonder being nurtured there, of Full Moon quality.
Half a year later, Levi stood before the ruins of a world, silent.
The Fermi World had exploded...
It could have been a natural disaster, or it could have been casually destroyed by a passing powerhouse fighting.
In any case, it had completely lost its vitality, and the world's Origin Will had dissipated.
This kind of ruin, shattered into an asteroid field, couldn't even be used for plane fusion.
Levi was unwilling to give up; he felt that with his luck, he couldn't possibly return empty-handed.
Three days later, smashing a dark black meteorite, Levi discovered a giant ore shimmering with a dim blue light.
"This... this is Starfall Remains?"
Starfall Remains, a treasure that has a chance of being born after some planes fall.
It can be used to forge space treasures, or to open up space channels.
Mana had previously used a piece of Starfall Remains to open up the passage from the Ancient Dragon Continent to the Ice Sea Secret Realm.
Now, with this thing, he could open up a passage to the Black Marsh Secret Realm.
"Such a large piece of Starfall Remains is worth more than an ordinary Full Moon Wonder; fortune and misfortune are intertwined."
In any case, the Great Stones spent on purchasing the Darkness Treasure Map had already been earned back, with a surplus.
Time flew by, and two years passed in a flash.
Nora Calendar 880, Bloody Battle 669.
Levi went to the third and fourth locations on the treasure map.
In the third world, he went through all kinds of hardships to break open that ancient alien ruin.
Unfortunately, apart from a group of lingering Evil Spirits in the ruins, there was nothing else.
Levi physically delivered them.
The fourth place, called Hall World, was a medium-to-large world, much larger than the Black Marsh World.
A group of aliens calling themselves the Hall God Clan once lived there.
They were probably believers of a certain god in the Star Realm; this group of people liked to call themselves the "God Clan" the most.
Unfortunately, when Levi arrived, the Hall World had become a Paradise for demons.
He saw from afar a terrifying Flame Demon exuding a Ninth Ring aura.
It roared, "Be destroyed by the Surgard Sword," raised the world-destroying Flame Sword, and pierced through the strata of the Hall World.
Then, the Hall World also cracked...
Terrifying Strength descended, and the Darkness Zone cracked.
The Abyssal Well that appeared out of nowhere sucked the Hall World into it like a vacuum cleaner.
Amidst the wreckage, Levi saw the shattered remains of a twelve-winged angel, wreathed in demonic fire.
This demigod had also fallen beneath the sword of the Flame Demon Lord named Surgard.
This Ninth Ring Flame Demon was no simple foe.
The item it wielded seemed to be an extraordinary treasure as well.
With only a fleeting glance, Levi quickly departed.
Any longer, and he would be in danger himself.
No wonder it was called the Bottomless Abyss; no wonder the Abyss had always launched Bloody Battles since ancient times! The Abyss did not appear out of nowhere. Like Nora's plane convergence, it devoured other worlds through Bloody Battles!
Moreover, it was even more aggressive than Nora.
Because Nora at most only influenced the pan-planar region.
The Abyss, relying on the Abyssal Well, extended its demonic claws to the Multiverse.
The birth of each layer of the Abyss was accompanied by the destruction of countless worlds.
Having witnessed all of this firsthand, Levi's heart felt heavy.
He somewhat understood Sauron now.
No matter how hypocritical the gods of the Star Realm were, the dangers of the Star Realm were far less than those of the chaotic Abyss.
The Abyss was a tumor of the Multiverse.
Demons were like cancer cells, constantly worsening and expanding, ceaselessly adding bricks and tiles to the Abyss.
It was a pity that even a powerful being like Sauron could not extinguish the Abyss.
He had even been stopped by the mysterious being known as the Chaos Attendant.
"Sigh..."
After a silent sigh, Levi journeyed to the fifth world.
It was called Lasgar, a large world.
Upon it resided a mid-sized civilization known as the Thunder Clan.
According to the Darkness Treasure Map, this was a unique race capable of commanding Thunder, with strong individual power.
Because they were covered in purple scales, they were also known as the Purple Scale Clan.
Lasgar was quite distant; even with Levi's ability to Wander the Void, the journey took six years.
This was a peripheral region that most Primal Soul Wizards would never set foot in.
Along the way, Levi did not forget to search for various extraordinary creatures, including dragons.
He had a steady stream of small gains, but unfortunately, he did not encounter the Eighth Ring dragon needed for the Golden Radiance Dragon Secret Medicine.
After all, most of the time was spent traveling through the Star Realm Ruin Sea.
In the process, he discovered that the number of worlds within Sauron's pan-plane that were experiencing Bloody Battles was far greater than he had imagined.
Some weak civilizations could be leveled by a single demon lord leading a team.
He recalled the news he had heard from Lucy at the tea party.
The scale and duration of this Bloody Battle were not only unprecedented in the history of the Nora World.
It was also a historical record for the entire Sauron pan-plane.
This was a true era of dark turmoil! If the Wizard civilization could not grow rapidly and give birth to a powerhouse like Sauron, capable of turning the tide.
The consequences would be extremely severe once the Abyss devoured all the worlds surrounding Nora.
On one hand, Nora would be completely surrounded.
On the other hand, Nora would lose its source of growth.
After another month of travel, Levi finally saw his final destination.
Lasgar!
Soro City.
A circular holy city floating above the Lasgar Thunder Plateau.
The powerful Magneto Force ensures that this city never falls.
Legend has it that the great Auro, ancestor of the Thunder Clan, captured the strongest artisans from 24 civilizations and spent centuries building this city.
The holy city has a diameter of 50,000 meters.
In its four cardinal directions, east, west, north, and south, are embedded four Sixth Ring ancient giant shell Thunder Pearls.
In the center of the holy city, a treasure made from the Sixth Ring Heaven Eye Thunder Beast's pupil monitors tens of thousands of miles around.
This is a city of order, where no one dares to act recklessly.
Once an enemy is discovered, the Heaven Eye will gather the power of the four Thunder Pearls and launch a Thunder ray powerful enough to destroy the world! Even a Sixth Ring powerhouse would only meet their demise.
Therefore, this realm, Lasgar, is renowned and feared, and no one dares to provoke it.
Its reputation is second only to those powerful civilizations with Ninth Ring powerhouses.
Living in this holy city are the Thunder Clan royals, the rulers of this world.
On this day, teams of Purple Scale powerhouses flew in and out of the holy city.
They were all led by Sixth Ring powerhouses, and their strength was generally at the Fifth Ring level.
"Catch the thief!"
"Someone broke into the Hall of Valor!"
Inside a tavern in the holy city, a three-meter-tall Thunder Clan powerhouse was drinking alone.
He watched the holy city Enforcers flying by outside, expressionless, it was Levi.
The tavern owner sighed, "The world is not peaceful, the holy city has become more and more chaotic in recent years."
She was a humanoid creature with light purple scales and a large hole in her chest.
This was their clan's reproductive organ, and after pregnancy, an egg would slowly form here, giving birth to a new life.
Levi learned more about the Thunder Clan from the tavern owner.
The powerful forces of this clan are concentrated in the holy city of Soro.
There are always four Sixth Ring powerhouses guarding the city.
The current ruler of the Lasgar Empire also resides in the holy city, with Sixth Ring late-stage Strength.
It is said that within the Hall of Valor, there is also the protection of the ancestor Auro's spirit.
That Auro was a Ninth Ring powerhouse who led the Thunder Clan to migrate here and establish the empire.
This is also why Levi didn't dare to rush in.
Lasgar's foundation is no less than that of the Wizard World's top organizations.
The Multiverse, different civilizations, all have their unique strengths.
Even if one becomes stronger, one must never lose the virtue of prudence.
According to the author of the Darkness Treasure Map, there seems to be a Thunder-type Truth Wonder or treasure in the center of the holy city.
That traveler, due to insufficient Strength, did not dare to get too close.
However, he determined that it was either a Full Moon (Sun Flare) Wonder or a Sixth or Seventh Ring treasure.
In short, as long as you have the Strength, coming here will not be a loss.
Therefore, this treasure map is the most expensive, Levi spent 1 billion Great Stones.
Levi's consciousness entered his mind.
Inside the Law Ring Holy Tower, Si Lei was restless.
It kept wandering around the tower walls, it seemed to have a desire for the center of the holy city.
What was inside was self-evident.
Levi was a little excited.
"A Sun Flare Wonder of the Thunder God Sequence!"
It truly was a case of searching high and low to no avail, only to find it effortlessly.
Boom! Suddenly, there was a violent tremor from the Sky above.
"Time to go, we're closed!"
Levi was the only one left in the tavern, and the landlady urged him.
"This business is impossible to do with all this chaos."
Rumor had it that a noble in Holy City had been parasitized by a Mind Flayer while traveling abroad.
Although the Enforcer caught and executed him, the coordinates of Lasgar were also exposed.
A terrifying demon army could invade at any moment.
The Holy City declared it a rumor and executed the spreader.
But within the Holy City, people were still panicking.
Some nobles with travel airships had already begun to move their families, wanting to escape Lasgar.
The landlady, a merchant with no power or influence who could only do small business, could only resign herself to fate.
Levi turned to leave, and the landlady watched his back, reminding him in a low voice, "You don't look very old, and your Strength is not bad. If you have the ability, leave here. Lasgar is changing."
Levi smiled wryly and said in the Thunder Clan language, "Thank you."
He came outside, and the Holy City was already in chaos.
A group of fully armed Thunder Clan warriors surrounded a burly figure in a black robe.
"Heh heh heh, you fools, instead of hurrying to escape, you're still working for the Auro family? Lasgar is about to face its end, and everyone who stays here will die!"
An Eighth Ring Thunder Clan powerhouse in golden armor rebuked:
"Spreading rumors, capture him for this prince!"
Rays of Thunder shot towards the black-robed figure.
This person was also an Eighth Ring powerhouse, nimbly moving among them.
The golden-armored powerhouse fought fiercely with him, and terrifying explosions rang out in the Sky above the Holy City.
The black robe didn't want to get entangled and quickly fled.
Suddenly, a Purple Radiance eyeball in the center of the Holy City opened.
Buzz! In an instant, a Purple Radiance shot straight into the Sky Dome! Accompanied by a scream, the black-robed powerhouse's body was instantly vaporized for the most part.
The robe split open, revealing the Purple Radiance scales beneath.
"It really is you, General Baka! Why did you betray our royal family! We trusted you so much!"
The golden-armored warrior's expression was complicated.
The black robe cursed, "Trust us? Is what you call trust, knowing that this world is about to end, and still dragging us down with you?"
The golden-armored warrior angrily said, "Nonsense, with the souls of the Auro ancestors protecting us, nothing can happen to us!"
The black robe sneered, "So, the Mind Flayer invasion is true?"
The golden-armored warrior was speechless.
This commotion was heard by countless commoners and nobles in the Holy City.
In an instant, the already panicked emotions completely exploded.
"What? Are the demons really invading?"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"Has your royal family already started to evacuate?"
General Baka laughed maniacally, "You guessed right, the royals and nobles have already begun their evacuation. They're going to abandon you, using your sacrifices to delay the approaching demon army... Lasgar, has been abandoned!"
The golden-armored warriors' expressions changed drastically.
General Baka mustered all his strength, slashing out a bolt of Thunder with his right hand, piercing the Sky Dome.
The crystal wall cracked, and in the distant deep space, a pitch-black well that seemed to devour everything was slowly taking shape, like a black hole.
Coincidentally, a beautifully and ornately designed purple spaceship was moving away from Lasgar.
"What... what is that? Is that a royal ship?"
"Damn it, the rumors are actually true!"
Countless angry voices echoed between heaven and earth.
A Thunder Clan member exuding a late Sixth Ring aura, wearing golden finery and a crown, appeared. It was the ruler of the empire.
Its face was aged, and it said calmly, "Baka, you truly live up to your origins as a street hustler. You're quite skilled at framing others. It's clearly you who colluded with the demons, leading them here, yet you spread rumors that it was the Mind Flayers who did it. What are you trying to achieve? I haven't treated you poorly, and I even promoted you to general, putting you on equal footing with our royal family... Fine, I'll end the evil I created myself."
A terrifying pillar of Thunder reduced Baka to ashes.
The empire's ruler looked at its panicked clan and turned to dissipate.
"Father, what do we do?"
The empire's ruler said indifferently, "Don't bother explaining, we've already evacuated most of them anyway."
Suddenly, a terrifying energy fluctuation came from within the Holy City.
Immediately afterward, there was a earth-shattering explosion.
The empire's ruler's expression changed, "Someone else took advantage of Baka's chaos to sneak into the Hall of Heroes! Everyone, head to the Hall of Heroes!"
Hall of Heroes.
An Sixth Ring Thunder Clan member was standing in front of a pillar of Purple Radiance.
It reached out its hand, wanting to grab the illusory figure in the light pillar.
The illusory figure resembled a purple head, with antlers growing from its forehead, its eyes tightly closed, radiating authority without anger.
Countless terrifying Thunder Serpents swam around, appearing and disappearing, a world-destroying aura permeated the surroundings, and profound and complex Truth Runes flickered.
Bang.
The light pillar repelled the Thunder Clan member, sending it flying backward.
At the same time, the empire's ruler arrived, leading two Sixth Ring experts.
"Odd, what are you doing?"
Of the Holy City's four Sixth Ring generals, three were the empire's ruler's children or relatives, and the remaining one was General Baka.
Odd, was its youngest son, with early Sixth Ring Strength.
Odd didn't seem to hear its words, its body swelled, and terrifying black energy surged out.
In an instant, Odd transformed into a clawing and fanged pitch-black dragon.
Around it, poisonous gas permeated, shadows loomed, a sea of blood flowed, and deathly energy swirled.
Extremely Dark Dragon! Boom! The dragon collided with the Thunder light pillar again.
The dragon's claws finally broke through the Thunder light, grabbing the purple head.
At the same time, the empire's ruler also made its move.
"You're not Odd, who exactly are you!"
It struck out with its palm, and a Thunder giant claw materialized, attacking the dragon.
It knew that its son had been controlled by Nameless Strength.
It, was dead.
"Everyone attack! We can't let it take the Thunder Head!"
Three Sixth Ring auras attacked, and the Extremely Dark Dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the Thunder Head.
Then, its sinister gaze fixed on the Lord of the Empire.
Making this late-stage Eighth Ring powerhouse feel a chill down his spine.
[Eight Directions Severed, Formless Through the Ages! HQuick!]
Whoosh! The Extremely Dark Dragon vanished instantly.
The barriers and blockades of the Hall of Heroic Souls seemed nonexistent to it.
"Quick, chase! This is the key to the descent of the heroic soul!" the prince shouted.
Seeing the pitch-black dragon disappear, the Lord of the Empire couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Forget it, it's already far away, you can't catch it. Auro's heroic soul dissipated ten thousand years ago... Besides, even if the heroic soul descends, it can't save Lasgar. The appearance of the Abyssal Well is bound to be accompanied by demons above the Ninth Ring."
The prince looked at the rioting Thunder Clan commoners outside: "Father, are all these people staying here?"
The Lord of the Empire nodded: "The airship is already full. This happened suddenly, and we don't have treasures that can form a world of their own. These people can't be taken away. Moreover, the bloodline of the commoners is inferior. If they mix in, it will only pollute our royal family's powerful bloodline and weaken our development potential in the long run. As long as our royal family is here, as long as those Sixth Ring powerhouses are here, our foundation remains. One day, when I step into the demigod realm of our ancestor Auro, and re-establish contact with the Star Realm gods, we can allow this group of abandoned gods to return to the Star Realm, away from this dirty mortal world!"
The prince said, "What about this Holy City?"
The Lord of the Empire said, "Leave it here. This thing is old and dilapidated, and it can no longer navigate in the Darkness Zone. It's a pity that our ancestors spent so much to build it, but it can only turn into dust and scrap metal. Before its destruction, it can also serve as a fortress to help these poor wretches resist the demons' attacks... Alas, if there was enough preparation time, I wouldn't want to abandon those people."
Not long after.
Accompanied by the royal family's airship leaving the Holy City in a grand manner.
All the Thunder Clan commoners were completely desperate.
They were truly abandoned.
Inside the small tavern, the proprietress closed the door, her face calm as she sat at the entrance, welcoming the impending doomsday.
In the entire Lasgar, those with the strength to leave had already run away.
The vast majority of those people were members of the royal family, or nobles related to the royal family.
The rest were some old, weak, sick, and disabled.
"Proprietress, you're still here."
A figure in black armor appeared, he casually threw Prince Odd's corpse into the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, marking it as a Wonder planting spot.
In the distant future, a Full Moon Wonder of the Thunder Faction might be born here.
That Sun Flare Wonder with the deer-horned human head was in his hands.
Through Extremely Dark Parasitism and Extremely Dark Enslavement, he controlled this prince to obtain it in the chaos. He himself had never personally taken action from beginning to end.
With his current strength, if not for his fear of the so-called ancestral heroic soul, no one in the entire Thunder Clan would be his opponent.
Seeing the Black Armor Swordsman, the proprietress hesitated at first, then smiled:
"So you're a foreigner, no wonder you wanted to ask me about those things... I should have thought of it sooner. You were the one who caused a ruckus in the Hall of Heroic Souls just now, right? I didn't expect you to be so strong."
Although she was only at the Fifth Ring, she was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Levi, an Eighth Ring powerhouse, as if she were talking to a friend.
Levi looked at the chaotic Holy City, then looked towards the deep sky, the Abyssal Well growing larger and larger.
According to the council's research, this passage would take shape in no more than three days.
In his mind, the Fool Rune kept warning, foreshadowing a scene: a towering crimson phantom, wielding a giant sword, spewing flames, destroying everything! Although he couldn't see its face clearly, Levi knew who it was.
The Ninth Ring Flame Demon Surgard who destroyed Hall World before.
This old brother really had a connection with him, wherever he went, it destroyed.
"Hurry up and leave, foreigner, our world is about to be destroyed."
The proprietress propped her chin and looked at the sky, urging him.
Levi asked, "What's your name?"
The proprietress looked up: "My name is Ili Baka."
Levi said, "What is that General Baka to you?"
Ili: "He is the old clan leader of the Baka family line, but he has many children, so we are not familiar."
Levi said, "Do you want to live?"
Ili said, "Of course I do. Will you take me away? Just because of a brief encounter? I don't even know who you are."
Levi: "It's not quite that simple. I come from a powerful civilization. I have the ability to take you away, but I need your Thunder Clan to serve me and my civilization from now on. I will make you the leader of the Thunder Clan, and you will manage this surviving clan for me."
