Nora Calendar 1970, Bloody Battle 1858.
Arcane Star · Viken advanced to a Sixth Ring Arcanist. In over three hundred years, he grew to become a mainstay of the Arcane Academy. He took the baton from the old dean, officially leading the Arcane Academy, making outstanding contributions to reforming factions and optimizing arcane arts.
After that, Viken was listed on the Star Ranking, becoming one of the supernovas.
In the same year.
Platinum Fist · Edward, with his talent as a Child of Chaos, advanced to a Sixth Ring Body Refinement Wizard, becoming the first person besides Gandalf to cultivate the Chaos Body Refinement Method to the Sixth Ring realm. Gandalf fulfilled his promise and accepted him as his second disciple.
And bestowed upon him a Full Moon-level Body Refinement treasure as an apprenticeship gift.
Half a year later.
A Halo Knight advanced to Seventh Ring, and all of the Twilight Eighteen Knights reached Seventh Ring. At the same time, the Twilight Temple's mythical bloodlines reached 24 types! Three years later.
The eldest son of the Fire Dragon Knight, Giant Spirit God Wizard, advanced to a Seventh Ring Knight, concurrently a Seventh Ring Body Refinement Wizard. The second son, Wind Fire Dragon Wizard, also made great progress in his cultivation.
As for their father, the Fire Dragon Knight, he was already at the peak of the Eighth Ring realm. He would stay at the Eighth Ring for a long time before advancing to the Ninth Ring, until he collected all the super-mythical advancement materials.
Two years later.
The Flame Wolf Saint, who had been away from the ancient tower for more than one hundred and fifty years, returned from his plane travels. While exploring an ancient ruin, he obtained the inheritance of an ancient Combustion Faction Great Wizard, happily acquiring a fire-type Holy Medicine and a Sun Flare treasure.
Not long after, the Flame Wolf Saint broke through to the Ninth Ring, becoming the first ever [Great Rune Master] in the history of the Rune Master spellcaster system.
Although not a Wizard, he was of the same origin and also a member of the human race. The Nora Council quickly granted the Flame Wolf Saint the title of [Flame Wolf Walker], belonging to the Great Wizard establishment.
At this point, the number of Great Wizards reached 200! The Nora civilization had 258 Ninth Ring powerhouses.
Overall, Wizards and the human race still occupied an absolute dominant position, their scale being larger than the top ten races combined.
This was also why the Nora Council could expand with confidence.
With the development speed of the Wizard civilization, no single race of the Nora civilization could keep up, only by uniting could they compare.
In addition, the Wizard civilization had a strong assimilating nature. Any civilization and race that lived with the human race for ten thousand years would be assimilated into it.
Before the three great mountains were overthrown, there would only be minor frictions between the races at most, and large-scale conflicts would be difficult to break out. The main contradiction at this stage would not change.
As for the main contradiction in the future, that would depend on the wisdom of future generations. For the current Nora Council high-level officials, surviving the great calamity was the top priority!
Nora Calendar 1975.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.
Levi—————— Chaos Seal: First Order (1/1000), Effect: Bloodline Inheritance.
The original eight major seals of the Four Great Families had disappeared, having been thoroughly understood and evolved by Levi into such a special skill.
[Chaos Seal] was a special spell that only a Child of Chaos could cultivate. It had no ring classification. More than a spell, it was more like a cultivation technique.
So far, there were nine levels in total.
When cultivated to completion, its power was equivalent to a Ninth Ring spell.
The Chaos Seal was not just a fusion of seals, but also included Levi's understanding of Chaos spells. It was an all-encompassing seal.
Those who cultivated this seal, if they studied diligently and had good comprehension, might be able to comprehend the myriad of spell wisdom that Levi had integrated into it from the seal.
In addition, unlike traditional spells,
The Chaos Seal had a bloodline inheritance effect, which could be inherited through blood, similar to a Knight's bloodline. For example, if Levi cultivated the Chaos Seal to completion, his children, even without Wizard talent, could be born with partial seal abilities.
However, this inherited seal ability, without the talent of a Child of Chaos, could not be cultivated further, and the upper limit of their strength would be at the First Ring level at most.
Those with the talent of a Child of Chaos could cultivate directly without inheritance.
However, if one had Wizard talent but was not a Child of Chaos, they would not be able to cultivate the Chaos Seal, nor could they inherit it through blood.
Either "Child of Chaos" or "talentless."
Of course, those with other talents don't need to cultivate the Chaos Seal. Levi's research into this method is mainly for the vast number of Children of Chaos and talentless mortals.
The [Bloodline Inheritance] of the Chaos Seal is different from bloodlines; it won't gradually thin or weaken with each generation.
On the contrary, each generation can store their insights and understanding of the Chaos Seal into the seal, thereby passing it on to the next generation.
After layers of accumulation, the Chaos Seal will only become stronger, more complete, and closer to the unattainable truth in the future! In short.
This is a "cloud spell" that can be inherited, shared, and edited through bloodlines. Its most unique feature is that it gathers the wisdom of generations. This is the meaning of [Bloodline Inheritance].
It's not about resting on one's laurels; it's about building on the past and opening up the future! This is also Levi's greatest discovery since embarking on his Wizard journey, developed through his own efforts based on the Four Great Families' seals.
Of course, there's also a little help from the Proficiency Panel.
There is no strongest, only stronger!
Every Wizard family possesses its own "cloud spell"; a thousand families will have a thousand "Chaos Seals."
"This Chaos Seal can independently open up a caster profession system under the Wizard category. A caster who can inherit through bloodlines is more appropriately called a [Warlock]. Let's call them... [Chaos Warlocks]."
The Chaos Warlock is based on the Four Great Families' seals, fused with Levi's understanding and insights into the Knight and Wizard paths over two thousand years.
It is created specifically for the neglected Children of Chaos and other lower levels of the Wizard World, aiming to continuously elevate the strength of the bottom through the power of family and inheritance.
One day, the Wizard World will see the emergence of thousands of Chaos Warlock families, becoming the mid-to-low-level main force of Nora Civilization's casters.
Time flows, and another five years pass.
Nora Calendar 1980, Bloody Battle 1868.
After Levi's long-term experiments, the Chaos Warlock system is indeed feasible, and he established the first Chaos Warlock family on the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Subsequently, he came to the Supreme Council.
Eamon and others were in a meeting, all with heavy expressions.
According to intelligence statistics, 70 Nightmare Lords from the Nightmare World have accepted the call and gathered in the Lost Domain.
"Two of the Nightmare Four Emperors have already arrived; the situation is not optimistic."
"Especially the Ignorant Monarch, who is skilled in astrology and prediction, known as the Brain of the Nightmare, is a military strategist who wins every battle, not comparable to ordinary monarchs."
"On our side, including the Fire Bear Emperor who just joined the temporary council, and Primordial Beginning Demon Lord · Xuan, there are 42. The three-party alliance totals 66.
In terms of numbers, it seems we are not inferior by too much.
However, most of the level 10 powerhouses in the Pan-Dimensional Plane are in the early stages, while on the Nightmare World side, the demon lords of the Seven Deadly Sins who are still alive, and many old monarchs, have all come out in full force, not to mention their numbers are still soaring."
A Supreme Councilor sighed.
Eamon said, "We'll meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth. Next, everyone will follow the command and learn the Zerg's efficient combat methods, and we may be able to block the Nightmare Lords."
The Frost Witch said, "The Zerg's number of powerhouses is also far less than the Star Realm, but they have won more with less, causing the Star Realm to suffer repeated defeats on many battlefields, which is worth our learning from."
The Will of Azure Sky said, "In my opinion, based on previous war cases, the Nightmare will at most mobilize over a hundred monarchs to invade the Pan-Dimensional Plane. Although the Nightmare has many powerhouses, they need to guard against the Star Realm and the Abyss, as well as other enemies they have provoked over the years.
Everyone doesn't need to panic too much.
Don't forget, Levi is also about to reach level 10. As long as we hold on for a few hundred years, after he reaches level 10, he should be worth twenty level 10s, right?"
Just at this moment, Levi's voice came from outside: "Hahahaha, Senior Azure Sky is flattering me. I'm not sure about twenty, but ten should be no problem."
Seeing Levi emerge from seclusion, many Legendary Wizards showed joy.
They sensed that Levi's mental strength had exceeded the limit of 70,000. It seems he will soon become a Legend.
These large-scale wars usually last for thousands of years. As long as they defend their base camp, they can wait for Levi to grow up.
After exchanging greetings with everyone, Levi shared his idea of the Chaos Warlock with everyone at the Round Table. Legendary Wizards and Law God Grey Eagle and other casters were quite surprised.
Eamon smiled:
"I didn't expect you to have researched the Four Great Families' seals to such an extent. The Four Great Families were originally the experimental product of a Legendary Wizard.
But due to some changes, it eventually died out. Because they can inherit the seals through bloodlines, possess certain extraordinary abilities, and do not rely too much on elemental power, they were arranged by the council to serve as guides in the secular world before the end of magic."
"I see."
After multiple rounds of evaluation by the Supreme Council, Chaos Warlock was officially recognized as a sub-occupation system under the Wizard occupation system, forming its own faction.
One month later.
The Warlock Administration was officially established.
Levi served as a consultant, responsible for guiding the council staff in carrying out the dissemination and support of Chaos Warlocks, so that it could grow up as soon as possible.
Subsequently, the Supreme Council issued an announcement.
[The original extraordinary path "Chaos Warlock" researched by the Twilight Hall Master is officially established. All those with the talent of Child of Chaos can receive relevant Knowledge for free, including "Chaos Seal", "Aether Meditation Technique", "Analysis of Warlock Occupation" and other inheritances of the Twilight Hall Master. The emergence of Chaos Warlock is good news for countless talented Children of Chaos. It is the key for us to fight against the behemoth world and for everyone to be like a dragon. In order to commend this achievement, the Nora Council rewards the following: 1. Ancestor of Warlocks Medal (Anyone who wears this medal will become the officially recognized ancestor of the extraordinary occupation path, passed down for all generations.) 2. Supreme Treasure "Icefire Boundary Armor".]
As soon as this announcement came out, the myriad races of Nora were shaken, especially the spellcasters, who were extremely shocked. The birth of each new extraordinary system was extremely difficult.
Chaos Warlock sounded like a high-end occupation.
After reading the council's introduction, everyone was even more shocked.
"The spring of the Children of Chaos has arrived!"
"Yes, first the Chaos Body Refinement Method, now the Aether Meditation Technique, Chaos Seal... We ordinary people at the bottom also have a tomorrow."
"Isn't it? The Chaos Seal is all-encompassing, breaking all laws with one seal, and it can continue to increase its power as the realm improves, with no upper limit."
"The most important thing is that it can actually be inherited through blood."
"Gandalf and the Twilight Hall Master appeared in our era. It is really fortunate for us Children of Chaos. We have finally stood up."
Returning from the Supreme Council, Levi also received two major rewards.
The first one need not be said, it was of a honorary nature, just like Sauron's Ancestor of Wizards. Ancestor of Warlocks was obviously the council's way of praising Levi. So far, the Chaos Warlock occupation was still very imperfect, and could only be said to be subordinate to the Wizard system.
Levi couldn't use the second treasure either.
Obviously, the council had specially prepared it for the Fire Dragon Master. Gandalf had the Abyss Heavenly King Armor to protect him, and Ace had the Icefire Boundary Armor.
With the supreme treasure in hand, coupled with the means of the two, even if an ordinary tenth-level powerhouse launched a sneak attack, they would have the power to save their lives, and they would be safe in the upcoming Nightmare War.
The Icefire Boundary Armor was not specially refined by the council, but was the relic of an ancient tenth-level powerhouse, whose name was Icefire Saint. He had also established a powerful civilization, which was later destroyed by the Earth Demon Lord, and this treasure was collected by him.
After killing the Earth Demon Lord, Eamon held this treasure. Because it was a dual ice and fire system, the Wizard Council did not have a powerhouse who could fully utilize its power.
He took this opportunity to reward Levi.
The Icefire Boundary Armor was forged by the Saint using the cores of two large worlds, as well as the tenth-level divine objects Solar Divine Gold and Extreme Cold Divine Iron.
Currently ranked 29th in the pan-plane rankings. Generally speaking, the ranking of defensive supreme treasures is generally higher than that of offensive supreme treasures, and lower than that of civilization supreme treasures.
This armor was definitely not as good as the Bloody Battle Armor and the Abyss Heavenly King Armor, but it was enough for the Holy Infant to use to transition to the Legendary realm. After that, he would inevitably forge a more suitable one himself.
It was just that Levi's vision was too high. If it were another tenth-level powerhouse, this kind of top 30 supreme treasure would be enough to set off a bloody storm in the pan-plane.
The Icefire Boundary Armor has three functions:
1. Super defense. On the one hand, it is the protection of the armor itself, and on the other hand, the supreme treasure can release an ice and fire barrier that covers tens of thousands of miles for a quarter of an hour. The protection ability of the barrier is comparable to the defensive spells of a Legendary Wizard.
2. Icefire Nova. It releases all the ice and fire elemental power stored in the armor at one time, creating an ice and fire explosion attack that is no less than a Legendary spell. After being modified by the council, it can also be charged with Great Stones, 200 billion Great Stones at a time.
3. Icefire Leap. The Icefire Boundary Armor can cast a escape technique once a day, opening an ice and fire channel, which can teleport to 200,000 miles away.
After studying it, Levi gave this treasure to the Holy Infant.
In order to test its defensive power, he slashed at the Holy Infant with a sword. Although it was very casual, ordinary tenth-level powerhouses would not dare to resist it head-on.
The Holy Infant did not dodge.
Boom! The sword energy blasted the Holy Infant away for tens of thousands of miles, falling into the sea like a meteor. Subsequently, ice and fire scenes appeared in the sea for tens of thousands of miles, which was extremely shocking.
The Holy Infant's body had been shattered into ice and fire elemental particles, and then re-condensed. His face was slightly pale, and his face was full of excitement: "As expected of a supreme treasure, if it weren't for its protection, I would definitely not be able to block that sword just now."
"Not bad, you can go back."
High in the sky, Levi looked at Nora.
Many Wizards who passed by respectfully addressed him as the "Ancestor of Warlocks".
"There's still so much to explore on the path of the Warlock. The truth is endless. I'm just getting started. The perfection of this path will require the efforts of everyone for generations to come. The Chaos Warlock is just a starting point, not the end."
Ten years later.
Nora Calendar 1990, Bloody Battle 1878.
In the past few years, Chaos Warlocks have blossomed everywhere in Nora, spreading at an unimaginable speed. The power of the Chaos Seal has also been recognized by everyone.
Some Child of Chaos Wizards, after taking on the Warlock path as a second job, didn't bother learning any spells except those necessary for advancement, and instead specialized in the Chaos Seal.
There was a tendency to rely on one trick to get by.
The Ancestor of Warlocks, Levi, advised, "The path of the Wizard is the path of knowledge. Knowledge is the foundation, knowledge is power. Everyone must not abandon the fundamentals and delay their normal Wizard cultivation. So far, the Warlock path is only a supplement to the Wizard path. It is not advisable to cultivate the Chaos Seal alone."
Everyone naturally listened to the ancestor's words.
In this way, the path of the Chaos Warlock was able to develop healthily.
The wheels of history roll forward.
Both the Multiverse and Nora are in the calm before the storm. The terrifying pressure from the Nightmare World is like dark clouds covering the Sky Dome, making it suffocating.
According to intelligence from spies at the front, the number of tenth-level powerhouses in the Nightmare World has reached 81, and the rate of increase has begun to slow down.
The Lord of Ending of the Nightmare Command and other Legendary Wizards skilled in divination jointly deduced that the Nightmare invasion was about to begin.
However, because the Nightmare Lords are generally good at perception, and the strategist Lost Monarch is in charge, the authenticity of the intelligence needs further verification.
The Nora Council subsequently recruited three tenth-level powerhouses of mercenary nature, namely the Celestial Light Empress, the Spirit Grandmaster, and the Crying-Laughing God.
The first is the monarch of a female empire in the Multiverse. The main body is the Light Maiden Race, a peculiar humanoid race that reproduces through parthenogenesis, so there are only females.
It is similar to the king of a women's country, and the means of pregnancy are also very similar. There is a river in the world called the Mother River of Light.
The Light Maiden Race only needs to bathe in it after sexual maturity to become pregnant and give birth to a new individual, with only one chance of pregnancy in a lifetime.
The Celestial Light Empress herself has a treasure, which is the Mother River of Light. It is said that this is a civilization treasure forged by the first empress.
Legend has it that the first empress was troubled by love, so she decided to keep future generations away from "smelly men" and tried to create the Mother River treasure.
Thus, the Light Maiden Race came into being.
The empress is at the mid-tenth level, ranking in the top twenty in the Multiverse.
The Spirit Grandmaster is the leader of the Spirit Race, born with the so-called "spiritual power", also known as the "Emperor of Spiritual Power Users" or "Psionic Overlord".
This is a race with a weak physical body comparable to the human race, which also cultivates spiritual power. They use spiritual power to control psionic energy, thereby giving birth to a variety of complex "superpowers".
The Spirit Grandmaster is at the late tenth level, currently ranked 14th in the Multiverse.
It has a treasure itself, but it wants more, and it believes in its own strength, so it chose to come to Nora to work for a while and earn some treasures to take back.
The last one is the Crying-Laughing God.
Mid-tenth level, 26th in the Multiverse. The main body is unknown. It is a lone ranger powerhouse in the Multiverse. It is said to be casual and moody. It is good at controlling the emotions and hearts of living beings, and its attack methods are difficult to defend against.
Since the implementation of the treasure incentive policy.
Eight tenth-level powerhouses have been recruited for Nora, with remarkable results.
In the past few years, the Void Sanctuary has added 1, reaching 13.
Including the Primordial Beginning Demon Lord, the Nora Council can mobilize 45 tenth-level combat forces, and the three-party alliance has a total of 70. Although it is still 11 less than the Nightmare, it already has the capital to fight a protracted war.
As for the Netherworld, it has not yet declared war on the Nightmare, so it will not help Nora openly. As for whether it will help behind the scenes, it is unknown.
Nora 2000.
The second millennium of the new era is about to pass.
It is also the 1888th year since the start of the Bloody Battle.
At this historic node, Eamon came to the Tower of Babel. He looked down on the land of Nora, with the blazing Sun Flare hanging high above his head.
Eamon gave a phased summary of the council's work over the past two millennia and released the "Nora 3000 Work Plan": With the Abyss not giving up on the Bloody Battle, the Nightmare World will be the primary enemy of the Nora Civilization for the next millennium.
But Nora will not give up! Since the convergence of planes, Nora has achieved a miraculous record of zero Tenth Ring casualties, killing more than a dozen Tenth Ring powerhouses from the Abyss and the Nightmare.
In the new millennium, Nora will break the Nightmare World's blockade against us at the smallest cost, overthrow the oppression of the behemoth, and advance towards victory! At this moment, all races of Nora were cheering and encouraged, and everyone realized that they were doing something absolutely great for themselves and their civilization!
Humans, Giants, Scale Race, Sea Race... Wizards, Beast Tamers, Knights, no matter what race or profession, are indispensable parts of the new era.
Eamon said, "Humans will conquer nature. The meaning of the so-called great tribulation and the so-called disaster is to be broken by living beings. I am just the navigator of the great ship Nora. The real carriers of the great ship are the people of Nora, the myriad living beings!
The catastrophe will eventually pass, and Nora will never stop!"
After the inspiring speech, in various parts of Nora, teams of well-trained legions quietly traveled through the Shadow Web Path and the Void Web Path to the Shadow World and the Void Sanctuary, where the Nightmare World's army had already invaded.
Trying to break through one by one, starting from the weak points.
Pan-plane vs. Nightmare World.
70 people against 81 or even more! This is bound to be an extremely difficult battle, because all the Tenth Ring powerhouses who can come from the pan-plane have already come; those who have not come have already chosen to live in seclusion.
And the Nightmare World, on the premise of ensuring that its home is not stolen, can continue to increase its troops. In the next few hundred years, more than a hundred Monarchs may descend upon Nora.
One month after the great speech.
Nora Dark Side.
On the top of Roger Mountain, Vikna was explaining magical knowledge to the Shadow Queen. Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and he looked into the distance.
"What's wrong, teacher?" Aya asked.
"Aya, you go back to the Ancient Dragon Continent first. The Nightmare invasion has begun."
"Teacher..."
"Go back, you have your own battle to fight. It is meaningless for you to worry about my safety. Grow up as soon as possible. I look forward to the day when our Shadow School's three Legendary Wizards are in the same era. It won't be far away."
"Your student will definitely work hard!"
After the Shadow Queen left, behind Vikna, gray figures wearing crowns and exuding Ninth Ring aura emerged and stood silently.
"Ash Lords, prepare to meet the enemy."
Darkness Zone.
Around the Nora World, there are not many planes left. They have all been absorbed by Nora and integrated into it. Further away, there are some sparse worlds.
On this day, these worlds began to tremble.
The red and black mist from the Nightmare World enveloped the world and spread in the Darkness Zone, and hideous ravines emerged from the void.
49 Nightmare Lords exuding powerful auras descended, their auras shaking the universe. The leader was the Ignorant Monarch.
According to his agreement with the Lost Monarch, the latter led 30 powerhouses to conquer the Shadow World and the Void Sanctuary. When Nora supported those two sides, the Ignorant Monarch took the opportunity to enter and swept through Nora with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
"Four Demon Lords, block the four directions of Nora. The rest of you, listen to my orders. When the time is ripe, follow me directly into the Nora World and kill until blood flows like a river!"
The Ignorant Monarch looked at Nora in the distance and showed a strange smile.
Nora Calendar 2000, the Second Nightmare War begins! This battle involves a total of more than 150 Tenth Ring combatants. Looking at the history of the Multiverse since ancient times, it is also a top-level battle, attracting attention from all sides.
Star Realm.
Compared to his colleagues who were restrained by the Zerg Queen, the Storm Emperor was relatively leisurely. He was currently playing chess with the Great Prophet.
"Alas, I lost again. As expected of the Great Prophet, the God of Wisdom."
The Storm Emperor laughed.
The Great Prophet made a mechanical sound.
"My combat power is not as good as the Emperor, but there are no more than five people in this world who can match me in chess. It is truly lonely as snow."
"Are there others who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Great Prophet?"
"Naturally, that Lost Monarch is one of them."
"Speaking of which, does the Great Prophet believe the Nightmare World can win this battle?"
"Don't try to trick me into talking. I need payment to answer that."
The Storm Emperor took out a divine object and handed it to the Great Prophet.
The latter contentedly put it away and said, "They can't win."
"Oh? Is that really the case? 70 against 81, that's a significant difference."
"Too many variables."
"Then can our Star Realm take this opportunity to seize the Nightmare World, eliminate the fear of the Multiverse, and monopolize the Great Path of the Spirit?"
"That's a separate price."
Abyss.
On the 660th floor, more than forty demon lords gathered.
The Succubus Queen swept her gaze across the crowd and said, "Now that the Nightmare and the Pan-universal Plane are at war, in my opinion, even if the Nightmare World wins this battle, it will inevitably be a pyrrhic victory. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Gentlemen, follow me to ambush the Nightmare in the Pan-universal Plane and take over Nora!"
Golden Holy World.
The golden light transformed by the Lou Luo Holy King landed on the ground.
"Tian Hui, the Nightmare has launched a full-scale war against the Pan-universal Plane and Nora. Our opportunity has come. Everyone, prepare yourselves. If that group of Wizards is completely annihilated, that would be best. If not, we will sweep away the remnants with the force of Thunder!"
The Tian Hui Holy King said, "I have already communicated with the Golden Will. Some of the powerful gods in the Star Realm who did not participate in the Zerg war are also watching, trying to take this opportunity to eliminate Nora and severely damage the Nightmare.
So, everyone, there is no need to worry too much.
With the Star Realm taking action, the outcome is already determined."
Hearing that the Star Realm might take action.
The hearts of all the Holy Kings finally settled down.
This time, it's a sure thing!
