Blackwater World.
With everything prepared, Mana and the Worm Overlord began the docking and fusion process. The procedure was familiar, just like the previous fusion with the Blood Vortex Venerable.
Once completed, the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm would gain a super Secret Realm comparable in size to a large world, becoming a Paradise for the Spiritism School, Insect School, and Poison School.
Levi arrived on the silver spaceship.
"Taibai Number One, I have set the destination. Take all the passengers on board and head to Nora at full speed, without stopping along the way."
[Taibai Number One understands!]
"Bertolis, thank you for your hard work."
He looked at the Rainbow Sword Master, who was diligently acting as an energy source, and then took out a large pile of elemental cores, ranging in quality from Sixth Ring to Eighth Ring. These were all his spoils of war over the years. If the Rainbow Sword Master refined them, it would help her step into the late Ninth Ring stage.
"It's my duty, Master."
The Rainbow Sword Master happily accepted them. Levi then handed over another bag.
"And this bag of elemental cores, after you return to Nora, reward them to Phoenix, Diablo, Ilos, Thunder Peng, and the others for me."
"Understood, I will thank you for them on their behalf."
Levi took out another bag.
"Give the things in this bag to Elena. I have already told her how to distribute them. Sorry to trouble you."
"Master, you are too kind!"
"Just focus on piloting the ship along the way. If there is any danger, I will have the Giant Clan kings take action," Levi specifically instructed.
He came to the Giant Clan's cabin.
Raphael asked, "Lord Levi, are you staying here for the time being?"
"Yes, I have some things to do. However, I have already informed the Nora Council. Next, the spaceship will take you to Nora. It will take at most thirty years of travel. If there are strong enemies interfering along the way, please take action, seniors."
"Okay, understood, we'll take care of it."
"Please also take care of these descendants of the Seven Calamities Ancient Clan."
After entrusting all matters, Levi watched the silver spaceship disappear into the deep space. He set up a Shelter around the Blackwater World and began to cultivate in seclusion.
At the same time.
Above the Blackwater World, the Holy Grail floated.
Behind it, a world phantom with a length of over 100,000 miles faintly emerged. Towering ancient banyan trees stood tall, shielding a world and casting down ten thousand rays of green light.
At the heart of the world.
The Worm Overlord merged with the will of the Blackwater World behind him. It was about to undertake an unprecedented attempt. If successful, it might be a good way to solve the predicament of other Plane Dominators.
Two years later.
Nora Calendar 1742, Bloody Battle 1630.
On the Ancient Dragon Continent, a powerful aura soared into the sky, and a figure wearing armor and holding a long spear stood in the void.
Golden-armored and silver-armored strongmen lined up around her, tearing apart the tribulation clouds. After many years, Louise, the princess of the Ancient Tomb Clan, finally stepped into the Ninth Ring realm.
"Congratulations, Mother, on entering the Ninth Ring, comparable to a demigod!"
Lei Long, Abel, and other descendants came to congratulate her.
"Hahaha, Louise, you're also Ninth Ring, that's great. The hope for the revival of our Ancient Tomb Clan lies in you." The Ancient Mountain Dragon and other dragons had a deep relationship with the Nine Dragons Emperor and often regarded themselves as part of the Ancient Tomb Clan, treating Louise like their own daughter.
"Uncles, Louise has not disappointed Father's expectations. One day, I will also step into the Tenth Ring and bring the Ancient Tomb Clan back to its peak!"
She was excited and full of pride.
As for the Eleventh Ring, it would depend on her children.
Subsequently, Louise joined the Nora Council and became a glorious councilor.
As of now, the council had 170 Great Wizards and 180 Ninth Ring alien races, totaling more than 350, a veritable explosive development.
Nora's current success is half attributed to the convergence of planes.
The other half is thanks to the Nightmare and the Abyss. These two behemoths only need to release a small amount of resources to keep Nora well-fed.
As the Nether Ancestor said, in the transcendent world, resources are seized. The resources consumed by the behemoths over countless years are returned to Nora in various ways.
In terms of top-tier Ninth Ring and Tenth Ring combat power, Nora Wizards still dominate. However, in the mid-to-low tiers, the power of Nora's myriad races has long surpassed that of the Wizards. The rights promised by the council have also been put into practice.
This made more alien races realize that the Wizards were serious this time. They really wanted to establish a pan-civilization commonwealth spanning the Multiverse!
Otherwise, the Wizards would definitely try to restrict the development of alien races through policies, treating them only as cannon fodder and tools.
Therefore, more and more alien races have joined the council in recent years, and Nora Civilization is expanding rapidly at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people!
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, 25 years had passed.
Nora Calendar 1767, Bloody Battle 1655.
House of Witches.
Triss gazed at the Klein Crystal Ball.
[Spirit: 24550/24550]
After eight hundred years, Triss's spirit finally reached the limit of the Eighth Ring, and she was already 2786 years old... It was not easy to get to where she was today.
Not long ago, she successfully refined the last wonder of the Sea God sequence, called the 'Sea Queen's Dress', a Sun Flare wonder she had auctioned off at the White Dragon Commerce.
This increased her spirit by a full 900 points, bringing it to the limit. Including the previous Chariot wonder, the Sea God sequence had two Sun Flare wonders.
This was different from other god-level sequences.
The new wonder gave birth to a companion spirit creature, the 'Deep Sea Beauty', with a noble, aloof, and mature appearance, wearing a retro, puffy long dress that matched Triss's temperament quite well.
With this, the six chess pieces were complete.
The chessboard was finally formed, capable of forming the 'Sea Kingdom Killing Array'! After testing, the chess game's power was no less than a Ninth Ring-level Magic Array, possessing extremely strong enemy trapping, killing, defense, and life-saving abilities, with complete functions.
Relying on the chess game, Triss could even besiege a Ninth Ring.
Currently, the Sea God Chess Game was likely the strongest water-based sequence wonder discovered. Levi planned to get a set for Elena in the future.
Before the Ninth Ring, Triss had exceeded her target.
Water King, Sea Emperor, Water God, and Sea God Chess Game sequences were complete.
The poison sequence still had a lot of room for improvement.
Her water talent was a notch stronger than that of ordinary supernovas.
She had stabilized her spirit realm and had the Deep Blue Lady refine the Holy Medicine, preparing materials such as the Star Spirit Heart and Starfall Remains.
Everything was ready, only the breakthrough was needed.
On this day, she bathed and changed her clothes, planning to enter a long seclusion, not emerging until she reached the Ninth Ring. Suddenly, a silver stream of light arrived at the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Her expression shifted slightly: "Levi's spaceship is back. The long-lost Giants are about to return. What an exciting era."
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Crossing the Sea slowly docked in the sky.
Elena, Triss, the Blood Knight, and other high-level figures flew over. The long-awaited Nora Council Envoy also rushed over to witness this historic moment.
The hatch slowly opened, and four figures exuding earth-shattering auras emerged. They stretched their waists, their figures growing against the wind, restoring their mountain-like bodies.
"Phew, we've finally arrived."
The Fire Giant King was in a good mood.
"Hahaha, Nora is really big."
"Also very beautiful."
The other Giants were also full of anticipation.
Before long, more than twenty figures flew to the Ancient Dragon Continent, led by Eamon, with Pandora, Orissa, and others beside him.
Eamon flashed his signature smile:
"The entire Nora Council is here to welcome you all. Welcome, four Kings, leading the entire Giant race back home. This is Nora, the Giant race's new home!"
Raphael, as a Late Tenth Ring powerhouse, looked at Eamon, his eyes flickering slightly. As expected of someone who could kill a Peak Tenth Ring expert, he couldn't quite see through him.
He quickly expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you, Great Speaker, thank you to the Council members, and thank you to Levi for facilitating this cooperation. From today onwards, our Giant race will advance and retreat together with the Nora Council, facing any enemies who invade our home!"
Eamon laughed heartily.
"Follow me, everyone. I'll take you to your new home, the Giant Continent, located in the East Sea, and then to the Supreme Council to add seats for the four of you."
Gulveig looked at Eamon, inwardly sighing. It had been a long time since this man had been this happy. He was under too much pressure. The addition of the Giant race was like sending charcoal in the snow. Levi had once again done something great for the civilization for all time! The members of the Ancient Dragon Continent looked at the departing Giants in shock.
"So many Giants, how did the Hall Master find them?"
"Yeah, I feel like I haven't seen as many Giants and Dragons in my entire life as I've seen in one day on the Ancient Dragon Continent."
"Maybe that's what a natural leader is like, always attracting excellent people."
"It's just a pity that the Captain hasn't returned yet. I miss him so much."
Everyone discussed and continued to go back to work.
Rainbow Sword Master, following Levi's instructions, distributed the travel gifts he had brought for everyone. Phoenix, Ace, and Diablo couldn't stop smiling. As for Ilos, he was at a critical moment in breaking through to become an Elemental Overlord and had not yet emerged from seclusion.
On the other side.
When Elena saw the Storage Bag that Levi had sent, she was completely stunned... thousands of Truth Wonders, hundreds of Exotic Treasures.
Other resources and rare items were countless.
"The things in here are worth tens of trillions of Great Stones, right?"
She thought so unpromisingly.
No wonder Levi was unwilling to come home, enjoying himself so much. For him, the rewards of traveling far were simply too great.
In the corner, there was also a list of items, a letter written by Levi. It detailed the distribution plan, who should receive what.
[Dear Elena, I am at a critical moment in seclusion and cannot return to Nora within a hundred years. Enclosed is the treasure I have gained from my travels, excluding what I have allocated to everyone, all the rest should be placed in the organization's treasury ———— Levi]
Elena's eyes turned slightly red, unsure of what to say.
Today was also Levi's 2200th birthday. She contacted Levi, who was in seclusion, through the Twilight Round Table, her eyes red as she sobbed, "Happy birthday."
"Haha, I'm a hundred years older again."
"The Giant race successfully returned, right?"
"Yes."
"That's good. Also, the Black Scales and Red Scales races, please help me settle them properly."
"Okay, come back quickly."
"Well, don't worry, I've obtained great benefits outside. If all goes well this time, Mana can advance to Ninth Ring, and I can also get a Tenth Ring fighter." After comforting the suddenly crying Elena, Levi devoted himself to a new round of seclusion.
In the days that followed.
Gifts carrying Levi's blessings were sent to loved ones, friends, important high-level members of the Twilight Temple, and the younger generation that Levi cared about.
Elena received the Sun Flare Wonder [Heart of the Ocean], a Wonder that Levi had custom-made for her, a non-sequential masterpiece.
Before long, Elena advanced to Eighth Ring Completion. The [Gazing at the Sea] talent was further enhanced, and the Heart of the Ocean had endless wonderful uses, but unfortunately, it did not bring a companion spirit.
Hearing that Levi was giving everyone gifts, Triss also gladly accepted the [Poison Dragon's Fang] that Levi sent for the first time, and took out a loan to buy the Ninth Ring long whip-shaped Exotic Treasure [Black Hell Chain] that she really liked, replacing the Magic Dragon Whip.
After that, she began to seclude herself, fully focusing on breaking through to Ninth Ring.
The Holy Infant refined the [Fire Crow's Nest]. His mental strength increased by 1000 points, also reaching the Eighth Ring limit, and he was stabilizing his mental strength.
This wonder gave birth to a new companion spirit, named Golden Crow, who, along with Zhu Rong Mountain, Moon Palace, and Snow King, became the Holy Infant's main battle spirit.
It's worth mentioning the Snow King, who, after refining the Snow Country Certificate, didn't give birth to a spirit, but it did cause some mutations in the Snow King.
This Morning Star-level spirit, once unremarkable, has now been reborn, and its combat power is even stronger than that of a Sun Flare-level spirit, never falling behind.
Now, the Holy Infant's Ice Fire Divine Body is extremely powerful. After stabilizing his mental strength, he began a long retreat, sprinting towards the Ninth Ring.
Victor refined the Silver Order.
His mental strength limit increased by 1000 points, and he also gained the Silver Heart talent, as well as the companion spirit Silver White Chariot.
To date, he has refined three major sequence wonders, as well as the Bronze Throne, Steel Throne, and Silver Order three Sun Flares.
His own foundation is so deep that it is incomparable to ordinary supernovas. With his current talent, reaching the limit of his mental strength is only a matter of time.
Gandalf obtained a Body Refinement Holy Medicine called Sky Wave Holy Fruit, which can be directly consumed to increase mental strength and help condense Body Refinement Runes.
He is one step away from the Eighth Ring limit.
However, there are no precedents or experience for advancing to a Ninth Ring Body Refinement Wizard, and he needs more time to prepare and think, and must succeed in one fell swoop.
Many other people also received gifts from Levi. Even some ordinary members received Great Stone gift packs.
Everyone felt the meticulous care from the Twilight Hall Master. This act of generosity is rare in the Wizard World since ancient times.
This is the scope of an Extremity Knight!
This gift was icing on the cake for some, but a timely help for others. For example, Solett of the Dawn Tower stepped into the Eighth Ring realm because of it, achieving an achievement he had never imagined before. Life is full of surprises.
When the outside world heard that Ancient Dragon Continent had issued year-end bonuses, everyone was envious. The Ancient Dragon Continent's admissions office was crowded every day, with a constant stream of interviewees.
Not long after.
The Twilight Temple gave birth to the 18th type of Mythical Bloodline, named Sky Serpent, owned by Serpent Knight Lei Luo. He was also one of the earliest veterans to join the temple, but he was a little short of the Eighteen Riders, so his reputation was not obvious.
It never rains but it pours. With this successful Seventh Ring promotion, Serpent Knight became a popular figure in the Twilight Temple in one fell swoop, and can be regarded as a typical example of a late bloomer.
18 types are not the end, but the starting point.
Subsequently, the 19th and 20th types of Mythical Bloodlines appeared one after another. After years of accumulation, another group of Knights evolved successfully and bloomed in competition.
The Twilight Hall Master encouraged everyone to innovate. For every new type of Legendary Bloodline born, a Sixth Ring Exotic Treasure will be rewarded; for a new Mythical Bloodline, a Seventh Ring Exotic Treasure will be rewarded... If a supreme Super Mythical Bloodline can be born, a Ninth Ring Exotic Treasure will be awarded!
One day, the Sky Dome of Nora's future will not be shining with stars, but with Mythical Knights riding their mounts and patrolling the sky.
Three years later.
Nora Calendar 1770, Bloody Battle 1658.
Following Auser, the Sea Race, and Pandora, another more vast supercontinent with distinct seasons appeared in the East Sea. It has various terrains and environments such as ice fields, volcanoes, rivers, and forests.
Whether it is Earth-Fire Wind-Water, or Frost Thunder Lightning, or other variant Giants, such as Thousand-Eyed Titans, can find habitats on it.
The entire Giant race moved here, and while maintaining relative independence, began to integrate into the civilization of all races, full of hope for the future.
Subsequently, the Supreme Council issued an announcement.
[Mythology Reappears, Giants Return, the heaven-and-earth warriors of the ancient times have returned again, jointly fighting against the Abyss and Nightmare, becoming an inseparable part of Nora from now on, the number of seats in the Supreme Council has increased to 34!]
Currently, there are more than 370 Ninth Ring powerhouses of all races in Nora.
With the news of the Giant race's return spreading, it will inevitably cause shock in the Multiverse. Even the Giants have joined Nora, and more alien races are beginning to be tempted.
Time flies.
One year later.
Darkness Zone, a certain market.
A group of alien races looked at the latest intelligence from Nora, their faces shocked.
"It's the Giants... the Giant race has appeared."
"What? Weren't the Giants already extinct?"
"Four Giant Kings joining Nora at the same time, how could that be fake?"
Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended upon the market. It was burly, with a giant sword on its back, and its face was unclear. It looked at the posted notice, then at the Wizard beside it, and asked, "Is this true? Are you Wizards trying to deceive me?"
The Primal Soul Wizard was horrified.
This burly swordsman seemed to be a Tenth Ring expert.
He quickly said, "Sir, it's true."
The swordsman suddenly laughed heartily.
"So I am not alone! My path is not solitary!"
It asked, "Where is Nora? Give me the coordinates."
The Primal Soul Wizard said:
"Sir, you only need to go to the nearby Vena World. There is a portal there that leads directly to the Big Dipper Star Gate. The Big Dipper Star Gate is one of the four star gate hubs established by the Nora Council. It has a complex transmission network, and you can reach Nora within a year."
"Good."
The burly swordsman obtained the coordinates of Vena World, strode away, and disappeared in an instant tens of thousands of miles away, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Speaking of which, was that just now a Tenth Ring..."
"So terrifying, our market actually hides a Tenth Ring expert?"
"Is this what Sauron calls 'great seclusion in the city'?"
"It seems this expert is going to join Nora."
"Nora is getting stronger and stronger. I've been trying to persuade our clan leader recently. Staying in a small place really offers no future. Even without the Bloody Battle's influence, there are too few opportunities. That kind of life where you can see the end at a glance is too boring."
"Yes, it's not like before. The Darkness Zone near Nora has built such a dense star gate network, making transportation so much more convenient. There's no need for long journeys, and there's no danger on the road. I'm planning to go too."
"I heard there's a White Dragon Commerce that radiates across the Multiverse. Sun Flare Wonders, Ninth Ring treasures, Holy Medicines, and even Divinity Crystals... they have everything. A friend of mine bought a treasure there and successfully reached the Eighth Ring."
"No, I have to go see the excitement too. If I go now, maybe I can still catch it while it's hot. If I go late, the resources will all be distributed."
"Hehe, I'm going too, but I'm going to admire the Twilight Hall Master's demeanor, to see what a man who slaughtered a God with a Ninth Ring body looks like."
Late in the second millennium of the Nora Calendar.
Its influence was still expanding like an avalanche.
On one hand, Nora had figures like the Twilight Hall Master, who was famous throughout the Multiverse, and a large number of supernova who were not as famous, but were still well-known in the surrounding areas.
On the other hand, the Star Gate Project was constantly advancing. Nora was not completely integrated. The council intervened artificially, leaving a large number of worlds as transportation hubs, thereby constructing an extremely complex star gate network within the Multiverse.
Nora could not expand forever. One day, it would stop expanding. At that time, the star gates would be the capillaries connecting the Multiverse. Personnel, resources, culture, the extraordinary... all exchanges would be unimpeded.
One year later.
Nora Calendar 1772, Bloody Battle 1660.
On this day, above Nora's high sky, the void trembled, and a powerful aura descended. It held an ancient and grand, cold and shining black giant sword. Three thousand dim yellow eyeballs on its body spun around. It was thousands of miles tall, no less than the Four Giant Kings.
Legendary figures flew out from the Supreme Council, their faces solemn as they looked at the Tenth Ring mid-stage expert in front of them. Eamon pondered for a moment and asked, "May I ask if you are the Thousand-Eyed Swordsman Kunt?"
Thousand-Eyed Swordsman, the 24th ranked expert in the Multiverse, a Tenth Ring mid-stage cultivator, wielding the 33rd ranked treasure Severing Star, was also a powerful figure who shook one side of the Multiverse. Tens of thousands of years ago, he had killed an Incarnation of a Lesser God, and then went into hiding under an assumed name.
Rumor has it that he was the strongest Thousand-Eyed Titan among the Multi-Eyed Titans. Now, seeing him, it was indeed so. The three thousand eyes around his body demonstrated his powerful strength.
"I am the Thousand-Eyed Swordsman. I heard that the Giant Race has come to Nora, so I came to find my organization." Kunt bowed slightly.
Among the Giant Race, the strong are respected. Eamon's strength far surpassed his own, and he also led the Nora Council to fight against the Abyss and the Nightmare. He had the demeanor of the Giant Ancestor.
He was worthy of respect! "Hahaha, I didn't expect there to be compatriots of the Thousand-Eyed Titan outside. Good, good, our Thousand-Eyed Titans of the Giant Continent, the dragons have a leader!"
Raphael ran over excitedly. Although they did not know each other, the Giant bloodline in his body made him feel particularly close to Kunt. The two hugged on the spot, and tough men shed tears.
A Hundred-Eyed Titan looked at Kunt.
"My King, welcome back!"
Eamon smiled:
"Let's go, let's welcome Kunt and wash away the dust!"
The next day.
The Supreme Council delivered more good news.
[Kunt, the Thousand-Eyed Swordsman, ranked 24th in the Multiverse, has joined the Nora Council, becoming the 35th seat of the Supreme Council. We welcome the Giant Race powerhouses, wandering in the Multiverse and without a home, to seek their roots and build the Giant Continent together, and board the big ship to the new world!]
The people of Nora were cheering and encouraged.
With the heavyweight return of the Giant Civilization, many wandering Giants, mixed-blood Giants, and other races good at physical bodies and with innate Divine Power came one after another.
As time passed, 28 years later, 67 races related to Giants had arrived, bringing a total of six Ninth Ring alien powerhouses, and hundreds or thousands above the Sixth Ring.
There were also 136 non-Giant races that joined because of the Giants' leading role, bringing nine Ninth Ring alien powerhouses, and countless others.
The number of Ninth Ring aliens reached 220, and the number of Ninth Ring powerhouses in the entire Nora territory reached more than 400, and it was still growing rapidly.
Living beings are all followers.
For a long time, everyone had become accustomed to enduring the gods' harvesting of leeks, accustomed to the fear of the Nightmare, and the Bloody Battle of the Abyss, numb and cowardly.
But when a leader with enough strength and prestige rises up.
Only a slogan of "Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born with a special status?" can gather strength from all over the world.
It's not that everyone doesn't dare to resist, but they lack a leader, an organization that can bind the so-called "rabble" together.
The Nora Council came into being!
This is Nora Calendar 1800. The chain reaction brought about by the Giant's return is constantly fermenting and spreading to the Multiverse.
This is not the end, this is the beginning of the struggle.
Those behemoths who have lived for countless years and are almost immortal have enjoyed too many vested resources and benefits, and are swallowing this universe like a bottomless pit.
They are high above, and even the heavens can't control them.
Since that's the case, if the heavens don't care, people will!
This universe is too bloated, it needs to be lightened, it needs a reshuffle, so that ordinary short-lived species and Long-Lived Species can also enjoy more resources and breed civilizations!
Tower of Babel.
At the beginning of the new century, Grand Speaker Eamon delivered a speech, summarizing past experiences and lessons, looking forward to the future, and depicting a new picture!
Hundreds of millions of people gathered in various places to watch. The impassioned words made everyone excited and passionate, full of longing for the new world.
Finally, Eamon looked at the masses.
He took a deep breath, raised his right arm, and a red sun burst forth from his palm. It broke free from its restraints, grew in the wind, and the scattered light illuminated the five lakes and seas, and hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers.
The great sun rose high, broke through the darkness, and gradually stopped!
After gathering countless Fire elemental power, its diameter was actually more than three million miles, becoming a veritable "sun"! This new sun hung high in the deep sky, burning fiercely, emitting endless light and heat, without the slightest sign of burning out.
A loud voice resounded throughout Nora!
"This is the continuous legendary spell [Eamon's Nora Sun], which is the symbol of my Eamon's fire of life.
From now on, it will hang high here and never fall! If travelers of all races in the Multiverse are tired, they can seek this light to come to Nora for rest and exchange. When the people of Nora travel far, it can also illuminate their future.
It is the sunset of the old era and the dawn of the new world.
If the sun does not die, I will not die, and Nora will also be here!"
Darkness Zone.
The fusion of the Blackwater World is still continuing. Under the influence of the Divine Tree's power in the high sky, it seems that an invisible hand is using an eraser to erase the world bit by bit, and using a paintbrush to outline the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm stroke by stroke.
In Levi's retreat.
He temporarily ended his retreat of half a century. His aura was three points stronger than before, and the red flames around him swept through, burning and distorting space.
He opened the Proficiency Panel, and the six major breathing techniques had all entered the middle stage of the Ninth Ring realm. The fastest Red Emperor Dragon and Golden Emperor Dragon had recently broken through to the late stage of the Ninth Ring.
Seven layers of Destruction Saint Domain, seven layers of Adamantine Saint Domain, six layers of Invisible Saint Domain, five layers of Steadfast Holy Domain, four layers of Undying Saint Domain, four layers of No Hiding Saint Domain, totaling thirty-three layers of Saint Domain power.
Now, without the aid of the Eight Trigrams Formation, he could single-handedly kill the Twilight Sun God. The early Tenth Ring was already prey to him. Only the mid Tenth Ring could be considered an evenly matched opponent.
Then, Levi placed his hand on the Klein Crystal Ball.
[Mental Strength: 68000/76000]
In the past sixty years, he had not refined any Sun Flare Wonders, but only a portion of the rarer or more suitable for farming "small exquisite" Wonders.
However, due to his super-high elemental affinity talent, his mental strength was rapidly increasing, and its upper limit also increased by 1,000 points with the refinement of those ordinary Wonders.
In the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, his symbiotic creatures were already "wives and concubines in droves," each performing their duties in the Three Realms, becoming an integral part of the Mana ecosystem, blending harmoniously.
These were just auxiliary symbiotic creatures.
There were also combat-type symbiotic creatures such as Si Lei and Light Worm, all gathered in Levi's mind, constantly growing stronger as his mental strength increased.
Levi had seen the symbiotic creatures of Legendary Wizards, such as the [Mountain of Flames] obtained by the Blazing Star Divine Wizard after refining the Fire God sequence, whose strength was close to that of a weak Star Realm god, at the level above Ninth Ring and below Tenth Ring.
That was just a Sun Flare-level symbiotic creature; he had also seen Legendary-level symbiotic creatures, which were already like real mythical creatures, lifelike and able to suppress weak gods.
The reason why Legendary Wizards were so powerful in group fights was inseparable from their army of symbiotic creatures that had accompanied them along the way.
As for spells.
All the Ninth Ring spells that Levi currently mastered, except for the newly researched Clock of the Mind, were already perfected.
After activating the Blood Bath effect, the power of these spells was infinitely close to that of Legendary spells, and it was no problem to kill some weak lower gods.
The Ninth Ring spell that had progressed the fastest was Mist of Fear, because Levi did not forget to secretly release poison in the Nightmare World during his seclusion, slowing down its conscription speed.
Not only him, but many Wizards of the School of Dream Weaving would sneak into the Nightmare World to fight guerrilla warfare, with the aim of harassing and buying time for Nora.
Inspired by Mist of Fear, the Daydream Believer researched a Legendary spell version of Wind of Fear.
The combination of mist and wind made the plague spread even faster. According to incomplete statistics, seven overlords had died from the plague.
The most miserable was the Dark Alley Lord. In the past century, the overlords under his command had either died from infection or had been enslaved by Levi to become double agents, leaving very few normal ones.
Ordinary Nightmare Lords suffered hundreds or thousands of casualties.
Of course, the Nightmare Lords would also occasionally send Nightmare Creatures to Nora for small-scale harassment, a reciprocal exchange that was also difficult to prevent.
There were no large-scale wars between the two sides, but small conflicts were constant.
Nora was recruiting troops and accumulating strength.
The Nightmare was conscripting throughout its territory, preparing for something big.
Both sides were engaged in an arms race. The difference was that Nora was pioneering and innovating, constantly researching new things, and expanding. The Nightmare was consuming the terrifying foundation accumulated over billions of years, trying to flatten Nora with absolute strength! The spell Clock of the Mind was also researched by Levi to guard against Nightmare Lords. It could form a large clock barrier in the mind, which could resist mental spells, mental attacks, fear gaze, and many other spells that affect the inner world.
Currently, this spell was widely circulated in Nora, and many Great Wizards were vying to learn it. Naturally, Levi was also making a lot of money.
The licensing fees alone earned him hundreds of billions. Among his self-created Ninth Ring spells, its popularity was second only to Sword Nine and Mist of Fear.
Levi began creating the seventh type of sequence spell without stopping. After being mentally affected twice in a row by tricky enemies like the Poison Mistress and the Gray Mist Monarch, he had to advance the research on Sealing Art, borrowing a lot of theoretical Knowledge from Gargamel and occasionally asking him for remote guidance. Elena complained that Levi's video calls with Gargamel were more frequent than with her.
Levi's Sealing Art research plan could be divided into two stages: The first step, from First Ring to Fifth Ring, he integrated Sealing Knowledge with the elemental schools, creating a complex Sealing spell system, namely: First Ring spell Four Symbols Sealing Foundation, specifically including Earth Sealing End, Blazing Flame Sealing End, Sky Wind Sealing End, and Ten Thousand Waters Sealing End! In addition, there were also Three Talents Sealing Foundation, Light and Darkness Sealing Foundation, Shadow Sealing Foundation, Blood Sealing, Life and Death Sealing, Poison Sealing... and other elemental energy Sealing spells.
Whichever school a Wizard belonged to, they could cultivate the corresponding spell.
Specifically, by controlling different elements and energies, they could seal the corresponding attributes of Art Power or elemental power in the enemy's body, thereby achieving the purpose of restricting their spellcasting and combat.
The subsequent Second Ring to Fifth Ring spells were all deepening and advancing the First Ring spells, without any essential difference. At most, they could go from simply sealing the enemy's Art Power to forming a Sealing barrier through their own Art Power, imprisoning the enemy.
At this stage, the Wizard's Knowledge level was limited, and elemental type Sealing Art was completely sufficient for their daily needs. The next second step was the focus.
After Primal Soul, Wizards could comprehend profound Knowledge such as space, so the Sealing Art at this stage must be linked to space. This kind of Sealing ignored the enemy's attribute differences and could suppress them equally!
Therefore, although it was called Sealing Art, it could also be called Space Art. This sequence started from Sixth Ring and ended at Legendary.
Theoretically, according to his vision, they were:
Six Harmonies Sealing, Seven Luminaries Sealing, Eight Gates Sealing, Nine Palaces Sealing, and Ten Directions Sealing.
Thus, a complete sequence of sealing spells was completed.
Transitioning from elemental sealing to spatial sealing.
However, the art of sealing is profound and vast, encompassing too much knowledge. Faced with many indestructible and difficult-to-kill enemies, these two types alone are not enough.
Therefore, Levi is still exploring the boundaries of sealing techniques. Relying on him alone is not enough; he also needs the assistance of Gargamel and many other Legendary Wizards and Great Wizards.
Next, he wants to develop Mind Sealing to seal will and thoughts! Develop Soul Sealing to directly lock down souls! Develop Time Sealing to imprison enemies in a dead corner of a past era! Develop Magnetic Sealing to trap enemies in ubiquitous and infinitely powerful chaotic force fields.
Sealing techniques, sealing the heavens, sealing the earth, sealing all things! Of course, the above is just Levi's vision. To realize it all, he must at least advance to the realm of a Legendary Wizard. His current knowledge base is still insufficient.
Finally, Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.
Strength Rune: Twentieth-Order, Strength Amplification 400%; Chariot Rune: Twentieth-Order, Speed Amplification 400%; Lovers Rune: Nineteenth-Order, Luck Amplification 350%; Moon Rune: Eighteenth-Order, Lifespan Amplification 300%; Fool Rune: Sixteenth-Order, Fooling and Fate Power Amplification 200%; Magic Rune: Fifteenth-Order, Casting Speed Increase 180%; Hanged Man Rune: Thirteenth-Order, Elemental Damage Resistance Amplification 140%; Justice Rune: Eleventh-Order, Damage Bonus Against Dark Creatures 100%.
Not counting the Hermit Rune, the eight most commonly used Rune Words have been greatly improved.
In Levi's mind, the Justice Rune shone brightly, connecting with the Star God at an infinite height, establishing a connection in the dark.
As starlight fell, the Star Spirit descended! A slender hound, resembling a greyhound, appeared beside Levi. Compared to other giant Star Spirits, it was only about ten feet tall.
"Woof woof woof!"
As soon as the hound appeared, it sniffed the surrounding aura. Then, it tore through the void, plunged into it, and disappeared.
Before long, the hound returned, biting a comatose Eighth Ring alien race, throwing it in front of Levi, and seeking credit from Levi. Levi grabbed the alien race, who looked at the Black Armor Swordsman in front of him in horror.
"What… what are you doing? Wait, are you the Twilight Hall Master?"
Levi revealed a playful smile and shattered its head with a palm. As soaring demonic energy rose, a Mind Flayer emerged from it, flying into the distance. Levi casually crushed it with a large hand, and Lyon skillfully consumed the soul, stripping away the memory disc.
"Master, for you."
Levi put away the disc and read it carefully.
"I didn't expect there to be a puppet empire secretly supported by Mind Flayers nearby, hidden so well. This Hound's sense of smell is really amazing."
Under normal circumstances, there would be no demons within a million miles of Levi. The Bloody Battle Spirit constantly AFKs and cleans up, the only exceptions being Mind Flayers and a few other demons that can possess bodies and isolate demonic energy.
And the Hound in front of him is for tracking dark creatures.
[Star Spirit: Hound] [Star Name: Doyle Trass] [Star Character: Hates Evil Like Poison] [Star Word: Darkness] [Level: Nine] [Ability: Bring to Justice] [Bring to Justice: Summon the Hound Star Spirit, which can track and investigate any dark creatures within a radius of 100,000 miles. Unless the level is higher than the Hound by a major realm, any secret methods and concealment are ineffective against the Hound. Any evil will eventually be brought to justice!]
"Not bad, it forms a perfect complement to my Bloody Battle Armor. This way, I can truly hunt demons without any blind spots."
Closing the Proficiency Panel, Levi browsed the news from this period. In the years he was in seclusion, Nora had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The Supreme Council has 35 seats, with over 400 Ninth Ring powerhouses. Star Gates have penetrated remote areas. Triss, Ace, Gandalf, and others have reached their mental strength limits, or are close to it. Within this century, they should all be able to step into the Ninth Ring realm.
A brand new era is coming.
