The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Alder and Ophiuchus arrived suddenly and left even faster.

After capturing the native deity, the two left in haste without lingering.

On the surface, the mission went smoothly.

But the final glimpse of the ancient rulers, Itakya's appearance, ultimately added a few more variables to the situation.

Alder and Ophiuchus naturally had to return to the Wizarding Council immediately to report what they had seen and heard.

After the two Morning Star wizards left, Lynn felt a bit more at ease.

At least, he no longer needs to worry about the existence of the "Lord of Life" being detected.

The deity he had elevated to godhood only needed to continue activating the Azure Sky Spirit to accumulate faith and convert it into spiritual power, and that would be enough.

of course.

Before that, there is one more thing that must be done.

That was the deal with Tina.

The initial agreement was simple: to exchange a portion of the world's origin for the secret technique of refining rules that she possessed.

During this time, Tina had already handed over a portion of the secret technique's contents to Lynn to verify its authenticity.

As it turns out, the Rogers family's legacy is indeed extraordinary.

This deal is a win-win situation.

Now, the native deities of the Spirit Eye plane have been captured.

The world's will is already tilted in favor of Lynn.

This interdimensional expedition has now come to a complete end.

It's time to fulfill our promise.

………………

In the Spirit Eye Dimension, deep within the sea.

In the middle of the boundless sea, there stands a solitary island.

This place is far from the main mainland, so no one has ever set foot here; it is an uninhabited island.

At the center of the island is the largest and tallest volcano in the entire plane.

The mountains rise straight into the clouds, and thick smoke billows and rises from the mountain pass.

The molten lava flowed slowly deep within, its crimson light illuminating the night, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

Lynn stood on the edge of the crater, his long robe hanging down, his hands behind his back. The sea breeze swept by, gently lifting the hem of his robe. His expression was calm.

Beside him, a semi-transparent witch figure stood silently suspended; it was Tina.

Her figure was as ethereal as mist, appearing exceptionally desolate under the crimson glow of the volcano.

The two remained silent, simply waiting for time to pass.

Suddenly, a deep sound came from deep within the volcano.

goooo...

goooo...

The scalding magma began to churn violently, and the red fluid surged beneath the crater, with bubbles bursting one after another.

The thick smoke began to twist and change shape, and scorching air surged into the sky, as if something was about to awaken from the depths.

The entire active volcano is restless.

suddenly!

"Boom!"

A deafening roar ripped through the night sky.

The entire volcano trembled violently, and the mountain emitted a muffled rumble, as if some long-dormant beast had been awakened.

The next instant, thick smoke billowed into the sky.

Crimson magma erupted suddenly, transforming into a blazing torrent that shot straight into the sky!
The intense heat almost distorted the air, as if even space itself was being scorched, enough to burn away all the defenses of ordinary extraordinary life.

Rocks scattered and fire rained down, but Lynn and Tina were already surrounded by magical shields.

The transparent, regular barrier rippled slightly, keeping the lava and rubble outside.

The scorching substances struck the shield, creating only fine ripples before turning to ash.

At the very moment of the most violent volcanic eruption, a completely different aura suddenly surged from the depths of the magma.

Rich, pure, and full of life.

That was not the restlessness of flames, but the rhythm of the very source of life.

"Hmm...it's here."

Lynn's gaze sharpened slightly, and he reminded her in a slow voice.

"Tina the Wizard".

As soon as she finished speaking, Tina's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, she appeared in the towering torrent of lava.

Crimson lava, like an inverted waterfall, surged upwards, washing over the sky, and she stood amidst it, her figure ethereal yet as steady as a rock.

A transparent palm slowly emerged.

In an instant, a glimmer of light broke free from the torrent within the magma, as if drawn by a spell, and plunged directly into her palm.

Flames scattered, and light emerged.

It was a crystal the size of a palm.

Its surface shimmers with iridescent light, as if it condenses the seasons and elements of the entire plane into one.

More importantly, the life force it exudes is so vast that it is almost unbelievable.

That vitality not only nourishes flesh and blood, but even inanimate objects seem to be given new life under its aura.

Dead trees can sprout new buds, and stubborn rocks can be transformed into spirits. These are fragments of the core of a plane, a part of the world's origin.

One of the most precious existences in the Spirit Eye plane, and also the bargaining chip in the deal between Lynn and Tina.

Tina retracted herself and hovered in mid-air.

She glanced down at the fragment of origin in her palm and nodded gently.

Confirmed.

Then, she tapped lightly with her other finger.

A triangular crystal emerged from her fingertip and slowly floated toward Lynn.

Within the crystal, runes are layered upon each other, flowing in a regular pattern.

Lynn reached out and held it between his fingers, his eyes sweeping over it.

Without needing to examine it closely, he could already sense the complex and exquisite structure within—the Rogers family's rule-refining secret technique, complete and flawless. "Thank you, Wizard Qinglin."

Tina chuckled softly, her voice carrying a rare hint of ease.

"Our deal is now closed."

Her gaze swept over the volcano and the distant sea, her tone shifting slightly.

"However... Wizard Qinglin shouldn't mind if I stay here a little longer to refine this world's origin, right?"

Lynn put the triangular crystal away and smiled faintly: "Of course not."

....................................

In the Spirit Eye Plane, although the faith of the Church of Life and the Lord of Life has spread to 30% of the kingdoms, its momentum shows no signs of abating and it has a strong tendency to sweep across all kingdoms.

However, whether they converted to the Church of Life or remained believers who still held onto the Old God, they all knew in their hearts that the Old God would inevitably take action, and the top beings in the temple would also inevitably take action.

At that time, the new god, the Lord of Life, and the old god will inevitably clash, and that battle will be the key to determining everything.

What is happening now is ultimately just a passing cloud.

Many people hold this view, both within and outside these camps.

Of course, the specifics may differ.

For example, those who believe in the Old Gods think that the Old Gods are currently busy, and once they are done, they will directly settle accounts with the Church of Life and the Lord of Life.

However, those who believe in the Lord of Life and the Church of Life hold the opposite view.

They believe that the great war launched by the Old Gods, which surrounded the entire Principality of Bulma, was intended to directly destroy the entire Church of Life.

But that war was a complete failure, and so many of the temple's top figures perished.

Therefore, they believe that the old gods are no match for the new god they worship, the Lord of Life, and that the Church of Life will inevitably spread to all places!
The Old Gods weren't unwilling to act, but rather afraid to; they were terrified!

Many people hold these two views, but as time goes by, these views have changed.

The reason is simple: the Lord of Life has bestowed a divine decree upon all members of the Church of Life, as well as those outside of it.

The oracle revealed that "the old gods are dead, and new gods shall rise," and He commanded His clergy and army to march toward the areas where the old gods were worshipped.

Although those who believe in the Lord of Life are full of faith in Him, when their deity publicly bestows divine pronouncements, it still gives everyone a dreamlike feeling.

The Old Gods are dead? Just like that?

Of course, it was all just a fantasy, but since the divine decree had been given, they naturally began to act in a grand and imposing manner.

Among more than thirty kingdoms, there was a vast army of over a million, knights who had reached the transcendent realm, priests, priests, and even bishops who had pledged allegiance to the Lord of Life and the Church of Life…

Of course, these armies are just supplementary; the main force will ultimately rely on the wizard legions and alchemist army that Lynn brought.

After the armies merged, they surged towards the empire like a blue torrent, sweeping across the land. Ordinary duchies, utterly powerless to resist, were flattened and turned into the faith domains of the Church of Life.

The subsequent kingdoms, though able to put up some resistance, could only wait for reinforcements from the empires that followed.

Unfortunately, they held out for a week, half a month, or even a month, but in the end, the kingdom was destroyed. They never received any reinforcements from the empire, nor did they ever see any divine manifestation.

It seems that what the false god, the Lord of Life, of the Church of Life said is true, and that the god they worship has completely perished!
Therefore, in the areas where the Old Gods were worshipped, many people and nations initially did not believe the rumors of the Old Gods' fall, thinking it was a lie by the Lord of Life.

But over time, even those regions closest to the empire have prepared to surrender to the "Cult of Life" and the "Lord of Life".

Even though the Old Gods' territory was vast, with numerous temples and a large number of extraordinary beings, including not only first-level priests and second-level priests, but also a considerable number of third-level bishops.

All of these combined constitute an immense force, which the Church of Life, with its mere army of mortals, would naturally be powerless against.

Unfortunately, Lynn's trusted men were among the guards of the Church of Life.

Although he himself did not take action, the fact that he, a level four being, did not intervene did not mean that the natives could withstand the offensive of the wizard legion and alchemist army led by Astrid and Evelyn.

Black dragons soar, and the wizard army marches on in a mighty might; feathered serpents roar, and wherever the alchemist army goes, the Cult of Life spreads...

At the end of the interdimensional war, the supreme commander Lynn did not personally take action, nor did he even stay in the Spirit Eye Dimension. Instead, he returned directly to the Wizard Tower.

He didn't even bother watching the battle; he went straight back to his training room. Besides having confidence in his subordinates, he also had more important things to do.

....................................

Inside the training room of Lynn's Wizard Tower, in the Temple of Life.

At this moment, Lynn sat cross-legged, surrounded by waves of unique life force.

On his forehead was a triangular crystal, the very one that Tina had traded to him, a crystal containing the secret techniques of the Rogers family rules.

As a secret technique passed down through generations of a sixth-level Morning Star realm family like the Rogers family, its preciousness needs no further explanation.

More importantly, the sixth-level Morning Star Realm expert from the Rogers family is also most skilled in the power of life-type rules.

Lynn's fourth stage is also a type of life rule study, making it a perfect match.

After a long while, having finished reading the triangular crystal, Lynn slowly opened his eyes and chuckled softly:
"The deal with Wizard Tina was definitely worth it! This secret technique of rules is truly extraordinary, greatly accelerating the refinement of the power of rules..."

This secret technique of rules, though incredibly complex, was summarized by Lynn into two points.

This secret technique of rules can accelerate the Morning Star Wizard's comprehension and refinement of the power of rules, and it is divided into two directions:
First, there is the refining of the power of fixed rules. Items that can accelerate the sensing of the corresponding rule power can greatly speed up the refining process.

For example, the fragment of the Creation Rule that Lynn obtained at the Dark Wizards' Conference originally required slow refinement and comprehension, but with the Secret Technique of the Rules, the refinement speed could be greatly accelerated.

Secondly, what surprised him was that he could use other rules of life types as a starting point to accelerate his understanding of the life rules he needed.

For example, some life rules are reciprocal, which Lynn can use as fuel to ignite and create a suitable environment to accelerate his exploration and understanding of various life rules.

At that time, you can choose the type of life rule you are good at to comprehend.

In short, this secret technique can both accelerate the refining process and the comprehension, making it an excellent secret technique for the life rules!
The only downside is that one needs to possess the soul essence of the Rogers family to activate the cultivation of the rule-based secret techniques.

However, this was not a problem for Lynn. He had captured a mid-level fourth-grade wizard from the Rogers family at the Dark Wizards' Conference...

"Perfect... he possesses other life rules... I'll use his soul essence to activate the refining technique, and then refine those life rules within him... After creating a suitable environment, it will allow me to accelerate my comprehension of creation rules..."

Lynn's eyes suddenly lit up. He did it as soon as he thought of it. He opened his palm, and a green sphere the size of a fist appeared.

Within the green sphere was the energy he had contained with the Azure Sky Spirit, which resembled amber.

"Although the Rogers family's secret technique is designed with various restrictions to protect its transmission... with the help of the mole Tina, capturing the Rogers family's Morning Star Wizard made it surprisingly easy to activate the technique..."

Lynn shook his head, gently squeezed the green amber sphere with his palm, and then summoned the panel.

Thinking of this, Lynn slowly closed his eyes... (End of Chapter)
