Nora Calendar 3460.
The Dream Great Wall project is initially completed.
The docking ceremony between the [Mechanical Net] and the [Sentient Dream Net] begins.
The Gray White Mechanist stands at the highest point of Nora, atop the Tower of Babel.
Centered around him, Stella, Deep Space Wanderer, and a group of Mechanical School powerhouses control 10,086 silver-white butterfly-shaped mechanical creations, which fly from all over Nora, turning into myriad rays of white light and disappearing without a trace. These are the [Dream-Weaving Butterflies].
Their raw materials are the biological materials of Nightmare Overlords, and some core components are even taken from Nightmare Lords. Therefore, although they seem inconspicuous, their cost is extremely high. The materials for tens of thousands of Dream-Weaving Butterflies are enough to create more than a dozen Supreme Treasures.
Around the Sauron Continent.
Dozens of Level Ten powerhouses appear. The Dream Great Wall project is of utmost importance and must not be lost. Levi personally guards this place, standing tall in the high sky.
After thousands of years of development, the Mechanical School has long since become its own path. It is now defined by the council as a separate extraordinary path, namely the [Mechanist] path.
Level Nine Mechanists are also known as [SkyNet Mechanists].
At this level, they can create their own SkyNet, or join someone else's SkyNet, forming a combined cluster SkyNet, somewhat similar to the Wizard Tower system.
Currently, Herman is the master of the Nora SkyNet.
Because of his experience of a dream in the SkyNet universe, cultivation insights under different time flows, and the support of the Mechanical Sage, his progress is rapid.
He is now in the mid-stage of Level Nine.
Madison was able to quickly step into the God-level Mechanist realm because of Sauron's help and the inheritance of the original SkyNet's legacy. However, in this universe, the foundation of the Mechanical School is like a blank sheet of paper. Everything needs to start from scratch, which is the biggest challenge.
Fortunately, the Mechanical School has passed the most difficult years. With the council's special support for thousands of years, the Mechanist group has grown stronger.
Especially the Ancient Dragon Continent, which can be called a cradle.
Currently, Nora has more than a dozen SkyNet Mechanists.
The Ancient Dragon Continent accounts for half of them.
After the Nightmare War a thousand years ago, Deep Space Wanderer, Stella, Ai Niya, and others successively entered the Level Nine realm and devoted themselves to the Dream Great Wall project.
There is also Air, the son of Ai Niya, who, relying on his rare mechanical talent, has also become an Level Eight peak Mechanist, only one step away from Level Nine.
This is just the beginning.
Because of the power and coolness of a Mechanist being an army of one, the enrollment popularity is now no less than that of traditional elemental schools, but the school's foundation is still shallow, and there are not many powerhouses.
If it continues to develop at the current rate, one day, the entire Nora and even this Dark Universe will achieve a high degree of mechanization, interweaving with magic.
A Nora Civilization empire with a perfect fusion of technology and magic styles will be formed. Of course, Nora will definitely not see this scene in the first ten thousand years.
According to Herman's calculations, at the end of Nora's 10th millennium, if the civilization is not Devoured by a Colossal World, he is confident that he can establish a complete Nora SkyNet.
In the 20th millennium, it should be able to cover the Pan-dimensional world.
In the 30th millennium, it is expected to spread to the Multiverse.
In the 40th millennium, an extremely complex SkyNet system, involving all walks of life and all aspects, can bring this universe into a new era.
Of course, these are just assumptions. The first phase of the Nora SkyNet requires the strength of a God-level Mechanist; the Multiverse-level third phase of the SkyNet would require the strength of a Supreme-level Mechanist. And all of this cannot avoid one existence: the Darkness Zone.
As the master of this universe.
When the SkyNet becomes powerful enough to unify the universe, it cannot sit idly by. Perhaps when Herman reaches Level Ten, he will also face the same dilemma as the Qi Sect.
That is, the incompatibility between the transcendent path and the universe.
God-level is possible, but Supreme-level is hopeless.
In the end, they still have to move and find a suitable universe.
Back inside Sky City.
The Daydream Believer chanted a spell.
The Dream Gyro rotated at high speed, distorting time and space. It opened up a channel between reality and dreams, constructing a complex Dream Net system among all living beings.
After Devouring billions of Nightmare Creatures, this Supreme Treasure is already showing a tendency to evolve into a universe-level treasure, but it is still lacking a breakthrough opportunity.
At the same time.
The Nora 136000 Continent began to tremble.
At the core of the continent, silver-white giant pillars tens of thousands of feet high broke out of the ground and went straight into the sky. They stood like White Towers on the Nora Continent.
Some small continents may only have one, but some large ones have as many as hundreds. At the end of the giant pillars, there are spiral fan blades similar to wind turbines.
The rotation frequency of these blades is exactly the same as that of the Dream Gyro.
They are the Dream Windmills.
A treasure jointly developed by the Mechanical School, the School of Dream Weaving, and the Supreme Council powerhouses. There are a total of eight million Dream Windmills throughout Nora.
Basically covering most prosperous lands.
The Dream Windmill, Dream-Weaving Butterfly, and Dream Gyro three major components responded simultaneously, and an invisible wave began to spread in Nora, sweeping rapidly.
Seven days later.
The sky above the Nora Continent seemed to have an invisible barrier.
This is the Dream Force Field.
Like a crystal wall, it protects civilization gathering places. It cannot prevent physical intrusion, but it can isolate spiritual penetration. If Nightmare Creatures try to invade the force field, it will activate the Dream Great Wall's firewall.
The SkyNet will detect the enemy's invasion as soon as possible, and send the Dream Warriors guarding the continents into the dream at the scene through the Great Wall system.
In this way, when the Dream Gyro is too busy, mechanical creations can be used as a supplement to reduce Nora's losses.
After the war, the corpses of Nightmare Creatures can also be used as nourishment for the Dream Gyro, continuing to promote the development of this Supreme Treasure.
When the Great Wall system was installed and debugged.
The Supreme Council members breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, in order to attract the attention of the Nightmares and prevent them from causing damage, the Nether Ancestor led another group of Nether Emperors to harass the Nightmare army and hold them back.
Nora also sent some people.
At this moment.
Darkness Zone.
Nether Ancestor was both resisting the Lord of Terror and leading the army in retreat.
"Mission accomplished, the entire army retreats back to Nora!"
Next, it was time to test the feasibility of the Dream Great Wall system. If it worked, the Netherworld could also temporarily use Nora as its base, reducing battle losses.
In the past few days, in order to contain the Nightmare, one Nether Emperor from the Netherworld unfortunately died in battle, while Void Great Emperor and a Barbarian Race from Nora were seriously injured.
Nether Emperors were all carefully selected elites. Losing one was equivalent to other Colossal Worlds losing several Level Ten powerhouses. Nether Ancestor tried its best to preserve their True Spirit.
In this way, they could still be reincarnated and cultivate again.
But it would not have any effect on the current stage of the war.
Seeing the Netherworld army retreating, the Lord of Terror took advantage of the victory to pursue. It personally led four hundred Monarchs, attempting to keep the Netherworld forces behind, until a figure appeared in front.
He was clad in black armor, blocking the rear of the retreating Netherworld army, facing the four hundred Monarchs alone, without any fear, instead raising the giant sword in his hand!
"I will meet the so-called Chaos Emperor!"
Relying on the Lord of Terror being by its side, Calamity Monarch exuded an aura infinitely close to the Supreme, with many scenes of calamity floating around it, terrifying and ominous.
"Hand of Great Cataclysm!"
It pressed down in the void, and even time and space began to distort. Before the great power of changing time, ordinary Level Ten powerhouses had no way to resist. Many Monarchs frantically retreated, fearing being affected.
But then a sword aura entwined with six colors of red, gold, black, white, azure, and illusion swept out, traversing 1.8 million miles of starry sky, sweeping away all obstacles along the way! The giant hand of calamity was disintegrated like crumbling dry weeds before the sword aura.
Calamity Monarch's expression changed. This was its full-strength strike, yet it didn't even have the qualifications to stop Levi. Did this person really have Supreme level strength?
The aftermath of the sword aura did not diminish, locking onto itself.
"Graveyard of the Dead!"
In the void, a death force different from that of the Nether Emperor emerged, transforming into a giant graveyard of millions of miles, from which hundreds of millions of dead crawled out.
Humans, alien races, extraordinary creatures... even the corpses of 108 Level Nine existences and 8 Mythical Creatures, exuding monstrous death energy and dragon might.
Levi's eyes narrowed, and killing intent emerged.
This old thing had killed so many Legendary Mythical Creatures alone, and even made them into Corpse Demon puppets, many of which were extinct species from the Multiverse.
The leading Mythical Creature was actually a Corpse Demon giant dragon full of rot and maggots, burning with strange crimson fire, with a Red Lotus-shaped crown on its head.
Even in death, it still possessed the majesty of a king.
"Red Lotus Dragon?! You have chosen your own death!"
Death Monarch sneered.
"Didn't expect it? This Emperor has collected quite a few of your Knights' ancestors over the ages... This Red Lotus Dragon should also be the source of your Bloodline, right?"
The Nightmare Four Emperors all had unique skills.
Lost Monarch's [Endless Labyrinth], Ignorance Monarch's [Land of Foolishness], Calamity Monarch's [World of Calamity], and its [Graveyard of the Dead].
The Graveyard of the Dead can be seen as another version of Hell. The creatures suppressed here will turn into servants of Death in fear, similar to Corpse Demons. If the Death Monarch does not die, they can be reborn countless times in the great tomb, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
Therefore, some say that the low-profile Death Monarch is the strongest of the Four Emperors.
This is due to this kind of perverted ability.
Levi's sword energy tore through the great tomb, instantly killing hundreds of millions of Corpse Demons. Many Mythical Creatures also exploded, but the combined force of the eight Gods still blocked his attack.
The Death Monarch's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "Indeed very strong."
The Calamity Monarch breathed a sigh of relief.
It took the combined strength of two Emperors to barely resist this person.
Levi was undoubtedly a Supreme combat power.
It retreated silently behind the Lord of Terror.
"My Lord, this person does indeed have some skill."
The Lord of Terror looked at Levi with his Blood Eyes, but did not enter the fray.
Levi did not continue to attack either.
Now was not the time for a final battle. The sword he had just unleashed, though he looked angry, had not used his full strength, only about 70% of his power.
Afterward, the Nightmare army quickly dispersed.
Back at the military camp, the Calamity Monarch asked, "My Lord, why didn't we charge forward in one go? If we drag this on any longer, and this person truly reaches the Supreme level, we won't have a chance."
The Lord of Terror said:
"Our advantage does not lie in direct combat. In terms of high-level Level Ten combat power, the Netherworld and Nora combined have a very slim chance of being defeated by us. Relying on Nightmare invasion from the inside and the bottom, disintegrating Nora from the bottom up, is our only way out."
Level Ten is the ceiling of civilization.
But the cornerstone of civilization is the masses.
The Netherworld and Nora combined are not as strong as the Nightmare in terms of mid- and low-level combat power. Suicide attacks are still the best way to wear down Nora's strength.
Looking at the Nightmare will that was fighting fiercely with the Mother River.
The Lord of Terror felt a little dazed in his heart.
Without external intervention, the Nightmare might not win this battle.
When Nora, led by the Chaos Emperor, began to counter-invade the Nightmare, their strength had already surpassed the Nightmare... they just hadn't realized it yet.
Sauron Continent.
The figures of the Nether Emperor and the Netherworld army landed.
Levi looked at the Nether Ancestor walking towards him and said:
"Thank you, Madam."
The Nether Ancestor said, "The Dream Great Wall is really complete?"
Levi said:
"Well, next is the practical test. If we can significantly reduce Nora's casualties, then we can launch a large-scale counterattack without any worries."
The Supreme Council has been hesitant to take the initiative to attack.
It was waiting for this day.
The Nightmare doesn't care about its people.
Nora can't, it can't withstand the endless consumption of a Colossal World war.
In this battle of civilization and life and death, Levi not only wants to win, but also win beautifully, minimizing casualties, so that he can be worthy of the creatures who have come to Nora! At the same time, after defeating the Nightmare, Nora can better cope with the Abyss and Star Realm that are trying to profit, otherwise too much consumption at the bottom will lead to civilization fragmentation.
Nora's ending is still destruction.
Nether Ancestor was amazed by Nora's efficiency.
She remembered what Sauron said, "Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day and night." Compared with the Colossal World where Long-Lived Species gather, these short-lived species who live and die like Mayflies have done more in a limited time.
"Metabolism."
Nether Ancestor murmured, feeling alert in her heart.
Arrogance, old-fashionedness, ego, numbness... these are the common problems of Colossal Worlds, and the Netherworld also has them. Perhaps only by learning from Nora can we avoid following in the footsteps of the Nightmare.
Seeing Nora's visible growth.
The Nightmare was in a dilemma and could only increase its invasion efforts.
The Nightmare disaster spread and spread in more than 30,000 New Continents, and the number of Nightmare Creatures invested was countless, but the Nightmare was shocked to find that this time the situation was a bit different.
More than 50% of the troops were discovered by Nora's powerhouses and Mechanical creations after infiltrating the dreams of creatures, and then they were besieged and never returned.
10% of the troops were wiped out by that damned Gyro, which became more and more powerful, and could instantly differentiate into millions of clones, fighting at the same time, like a meat grinder.
10% of the troops died from some unknown mental toxin, which may be Nora's latest research on the Plague and poison targeting the Nightmare. This virus has little impact on normal creatures and can lie dormant in the body for a long time. Once a Nightmare Creature invades the dream, it will activate and begin to infect a large area.
So only 30% of the troops successfully infiltrated, but Nora and the Netherworld can deal with it normally, not as flustered as before.
The final result is:
The Nightmare's large-scale invasion this time achieved less results than before. Only 36 New Continents were destroyed, which was a "minor injury" to Nora's size.
On the contrary, the Nightmare itself lost too many troops. If it was killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred before, then this time it was killing one thousand enemies and losing eight thousand.
This made the Lord of Terror quickly call a halt to the invasion.
It asked: "What's the situation? Why are the losses so great?"
Calamity Monarch said with an ugly face: "According to the investigation, it may be that Nora's Dream Great Wall plan has been completed, intercepting more than half of our troops... The military operations in the past few years may have been to cover up this plan. Lord, delay will lead to change, launch a general attack!"
Time flies.
Nightmare World.
The Twilight Legion advanced triumphantly, sweeping across the Nightmare's homeland. During this time, the Nightmare military on the front lines did not send anyone to defend their home.
On the contrary, they continued to bring some powerhouses hiding in the Nightmare World to avoid conscription to the Nora battlefield, as if they didn't care at all that their home was being stolen.
At the same time, four hundred Monarchs, led by the Lord of Terror, seemed to be preparing some kind of ritual. When the information reached Nora, the Supreme Council urgently discussed countermeasures.
The final decision was to proactively launch a counterattack in Nora Calendar 3500. No matter what the Nightmare was up to, Nora was ready, just waiting for the entire army to strike! ...
Ten years later.
Darkness Zone.
A golden light pierced through the void and shot into the Ancient Dragon Continent.
"Master, I'm back!"
A little boy wearing handsome golden armor and holding a golden long sword came to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm and saw Levi, who was teaching the Three Siblings combat skills.
Levi smiled with relief.
"You're not injured, are you?"
Lyon patted his chest and said, "Not at all. I was just trapped in the Darkness Zone for a long time, as if I was caught in a strange dream that I couldn't wake up from. Fortunately, I was awakened by the hunger in the deepest part. I fought the Darkness Zone for three days and three nights with my sword alone, and successfully survived the tribulation."
Levi's heart stirred.
The Darkness Zone's method of dealing with Lyon was exactly the same as his own. It seemed that its means as the Lord of the Universe were also limited.
Levi asked:
"What is your strength now? We are about to have a great battle with the Nightmare."
Lyon said, "It should be comparable to Level Ten mid-stage... I'm not sure. My path is the Sovereign of Souls, which can Devour and absorb souls.
And a Great River of Spirituality is conceived in the body. The river can breed new True Spirits and send them into reincarnation to start a new life."
Levi was silent for a long time after hearing this.
Lyon asked:
"Master, is there a problem with this?"
Levi shook his head.
"No problem, but in this way, it will inevitably conflict with your mother's path. Have you thought about how to solve it? It may be difficult for you to reach the Supreme."
The Mother River was not a pushover either.
The birth of powerful beings, the support of forces, and the launching of wars by such primordial existences... all these behaviors were for their own development and growth.
Lyon said, "I've thought about it, and I've told my mother. I won't achieve the Supreme in the Dark Universe. I will look for universes with missing rules to achieve my path."
Levi said, "Alright, it's good that you know. The universe is still too small for people like us. The multiverse with infinite possibilities is our home."
Lyon said, "I believe that Master has the strength to take me away, that's why I took this path. I don't want to live in my mother's shadow forever. I want to create my own world."
Levi patted Lyon on the shoulder and said, "Okay, that's ambitious. You should consolidate your realm. You can't miss the next big meal. This time, let's bury the Nightmare completely!"
Thirty years later.
Nora Calendar 3500.
In the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, Levi opened his eyes.
His aura had risen another level.
The Crimson Emperor, Golden Emperor, and Black Emperor had all condensed five stars, while the White Emperor, Azure Emperor, and Nightmare Emperor had condensed four stars. All six dimensions had stepped into the mid-Level Ten realm.
Who could withstand the bombardment of 27 dimensional stars? He opened the Proficiency Panel.
Levi ———————— Legendary Profession: Chaos Emperor! Knight Profession: Riding Six Dragons! Composite Profession: Fusing (current progress 30%) ...
"Fusion progress has increased by 10 percentage points."
Levi summoned Seven Treasures.
"Come, take a sword from me!"
He unleashed a sword strike with thirty percent of his power.
Seven Treasures, drenched in sweat, controlled the Seven Calamity Domain to resist. With a bang, the little guy was blasted away, landing in the distance.
"Master, you're too strong, I can't block it."
Seven Treasures flew over, somewhat aggrieved.
His master always used it to practice moves.
It was just a top-tier Supreme Treasure, bearing a weight its life couldn't handle.
"Hahaha, this is the last time."
Levi put Seven Treasures away.
He carefully checked his divine weapon, Wizard Tower, Magic Array, and other means, then came to Sauron Continent. The Round Table was already full of people.
As of now, Nora's Level Ten powerhouses had expanded to 72.
In the past few hundred years, four more Level Ten powerhouses had been born.
First, the Bronze Giant race of the Giant Continent welcomed their king.
[Bronze Throne Saint Rochel].
He was an old powerhouse of the Giant Race. This time, his promotion had the Supreme Council's pre-bestowed Supreme Treasure [Crimson Bronze Armor] as his trump card, successfully becoming the Giant Race's 8th Level Ten.
At this point.
The mainstream eight Giant races all had their own kings guarding them, and some relatively weak races such as the [Darkborn Giant] and [Light Armor Giant] tribes still needed time to develop. In terms of the number of Level Ten powerhouses, the Giant Race surpassed the Barbarian Race, second only to the Wizard civilization.
Another Level Ten was the leader of the Green Scale Race.
He had been famous for a long time. When he met Levi more than two thousand years ago, he was already a veteran mid-Level Nine powerhouse, and he entered the late stage realm not long after joining Nora.
After multiple wars, its strength has improved significantly. After the Seven-Colored Scale Race reunited, in order to enhance the status and voice of the race, the seven tribes jointly supported the Star Ripper.
Before it transcended the tribulation, the Supreme Council also gifted it a Supreme Treasure, which was left by a deceased Legendary Wizard thirty thousand years ago, and was later reforged.
Named [Earth Emperor Dragon Scale Armor].
In the end, it lived up to expectations and broke the curse that the Seven-Colored Scale Race had no Level Ten. Although it cannot be compared with the former Lord of Seven-Colored Scales who was Level Ten in the Way of Chaos.
But it is still an important part of the Scale Race civilization.
This means that the Scale Race can reach Level Ten without following the Way of Chaos. As a species with great potential, it is also possible to give birth to a Supreme Being in the future.
The Seven-Colored Scale Race has also truly become a major race in Nora.
There are also two Level Tens, both of whom are Legendary Wizards.
One is [Golden Wind Speaker · Molly], a member of the Twilight Squad. According to Levi's final confirmation, she is not a reincarnation of a Legendary, but she is diligent in her cultivation and has excellent talent. In addition, she did not distract herself with other things, so she became the earliest Legendary.
Her Legendary profession is [Singer of the Wind], her demiplane is the [Realm of Harvest], and her Legendary honorific is [Sage who communicates with the autumn wind, Queen who dominates the harvest].
The so-called golden wind is the autumn wind.
Her Legendary profession is also related to harvest.
The Molly's Golden Wind Hand she created can quickly promote the development of plants, producing an effect similar to "flowers blooming in an instant", which has involved the Way of Time.
So her abilities are also inclined to farming and research. In terms of fighting alone, she is not as good as the two Legendary professions of [Wind Poet] and [Wind Singer].
Levi appointed the Golden Wind Lady and Luo Lin as Nora's "Minister of Agriculture" and managers of various resource lands in the Dark Ancient Tower.
Specialization in a field is important, and logistics is also a key part of war.
Now Loomon Duke and the Ice Sea Witch are both Ninth Ring consummation cultivation, one cultivates both earth and fire, and also works as a Knight, and the other cultivates both ice and water, so their progress after the Ninth Ring is not as good as the Golden Wind Lady, but once they become Legendary, they will definitely be extraordinary.
In addition, those who were once supernovas alongside Levi, [World-Extinguishing Thunder], [Light Divine Sword], [Hand of the Fire God], etc., are all senior Ninth Ring.
They are also future Legendary seeds.
The second Legendary is [Silver Walker · Nasimento].
Legendary title [Silver Saint Lord].
This person was once the dean of the Body Refinement Academy. After Gandalf rose, he took over his position. Ten years ago, he successfully advanced to Legendary and became the second Legendary of the Metallurgy School.
His Legendary profession is [Silver Soul]. The demiplane is the [Silver Soul Hall]. The Legendary honorific is [Eternal and immortal Silver Soul, the master who controls all silver].
Different from the Bronze Battle Lord who manipulates bronze puppets, the Silver Saint Lord's ability lies in strengthening metal. He borrowed the spirit-awakening spells of the Life School and created his own Legendary spell: it is called Nasimento's Silver Battle Soul.
This spell can give any solid metal object around it a temporary spirituality, condensing a battle soul with Legendary strength.
The strength of the battle soul depends on the Silver Saint Lord's mental power. The battle soul can both attack and transform into silver armor to protect the body, which is extremely useful.
After becoming Legendary, the Silver Saint Lord turned back and specialized in the Way of Body Refinement, often going to Gondor City to ask Gandalf for advice without being ashamed to ask, and almost became Gandalf's disciple.
So far.
There are 25 Legendary Wizards alive, double the number before the Golden Age.
Nora Great Wizards have reached 450, and Level Nine alien races have exceeded 700. These are still based on the fact that many Level Nine powerhouses are lost due to war every year.
Levi said, "The combined forces of Nora and the Netherworld are unprecedentedly strong, and our Dream Great Wall system has also achieved excellent results. This is Nora Calendar 3500.
In this era, the entanglement between the Mother River and the Nightmare Will has bought us valuable time. The Abyss and the Star Realm have not yet entered the fray, hoping to profit from our conflict.
Our plan is to eliminate the Nightmare before Nora Calendar 4000.
Next will be the great counter-offensive war that determines the fate of our civilization.
Apart from the military force left to defend Nora, the rest of you will follow me into the Darkness Zone to disrupt the Nightmare ritual. Do not hesitate to use the Dark Ancient Tower when encountering danger."
Taking the initiative to attack involves a certain amount of risk. But today is different from the past. Nora is strong enough, and there is no need to passively defend every time. That would stretch the battle lines too far, and Nora might have to face an additional enemy: the Abyss.
The two Colossal Worlds have many grudges, but in the face of a life-and-death crisis, the possibility of them joining forces cannot be ruled out. The advantage that Nora has worked so hard to establish would be wiped out.
But to be on the safe side, in order to give the expeditionary force to the Darkness Zone time to retreat and be rescued, it is still necessary to arrange some Level Ten powerhouses to defend Nora.
On one hand, there are old guards like Daydream Believer and Blazing Star Divine Wizard. On the other hand, Herman's Mechanical God will also be on standby at any time.
He can now summon 15 Gods to descend.
In the end, Nora and the Netherworld have a total of nearly 30 Level Ten powerhouses staying behind to defend Nora.
All other Level Ten powerhouses will go on the expedition, sparing no effort!
Levi looked at everyone and finally gave the order.
"Begin the operation!"
