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

Above the sky, the chaotic scene that was originally formed by countless layers of rule power and law fragments suddenly changed.

At first, it was just a very faint blue glow, as if it were an unexpected glimmer of color that seeped out from the chaos.

But after only a few breaths, that blue hue began to spread, like a drop of paint falling into water and quickly spreading out.

From a single point, a line, to the entire sky.

It's unclear when exactly, but the previously chaotic sky was slowly "covered" by a deep blue glow.

The color was so pure, as if the sky above was no longer the aftermath of a torn battlefield, but had returned to its original blue sky.

If there were white clouds drifting by and the sun high in the sky at this moment, it would be an ordinary scene of a clear sky.

Peaceful and serene, it's a wonderful day, perfect for a picnic or a trip.

But none of those present truly believed that.

Whether it was Lynn, Sean, and Old, or the Morning Star Wizards fighting in the sky, or those legendary mages who had not yet completely lost their minds.

Almost everyone noticed something was wrong immediately.

That "blue" is not the true base color of the sky, but something else entirely.

Upon closer inspection, a hint of white is faintly mixed within the blue, creating a striking and profound interplay of blue and white that evokes a unique and indescribable feeling.

"Blue and white color..."

High in the sky, the Morning Star Wizard murmured softly, his pupils slightly contracting, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

The next moment, the blue and white light began to gather and condense, taking shape directly. A point of light core appeared in the depths of the high sky, and then rapidly expanded!
Soon, an unimaginably huge blue-white "star" appeared in everyone's field of vision!
It hangs high in the sky, deep and tranquil, yet it carries a terrifying sense of oppression.

From a distance, it looked just like a real star that had been forcibly embedded into the sky of the Pano plane!

It even subtly intertwines with the original "celestial structure" of this world in a strange way.

It was as if two stars had overlapped.

One is illusory, the other is real, yet they erode and cover each other.

Unlike the wariness and solemnity of the wizards, the legendary mages and archmages in the distance, upon witnessing this scene, instantly transformed into utterly devout individuals.

Almost instinctively, they stopped their attack, looked up at the blue and white star, and even their eyes shone with an almost fanatical light.

Then, from the high altitude to the middle level, and then down into the army below!

The mages who were originally struggling were all excited and breathing rapidly.

The knights suddenly raised their weapons, their armor clashing and clanging!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The clanging of metal created a continuous sound, like some kind of ritual.

"We offer everything to the goddess!!!"

Like a landslide or a tsunami, countless sounds converged and swept across the entire battlefield, sending chills down one's spine.

And all of this needs no explanation: the source of this power, the essence of this blue and white star.

The answer is obvious: it is none other than the Goddess of the Magic Network!

………………

High in the sky, Lynn remained standing in the same spot.

His location was one of the highest points on the entire battlefield.

And that is why he is closest to that "blue and white star".

His gaze was fixed on the presence that was "descending".

A moment later, his eyes flickered slightly.

Because he had already seen clearly that it was not a real star, or at least not a physical entity.

Perhaps the goddess of magic can indeed "hold the sun and moon in her hands and pluck the stars from the sky," and truly possesses a blue and white star.

But what appears here now is not a real star; it is more like an infinitely magnified and materialized "projection," a layer of phantom.

If that were truly a physical star forcibly embedded into the atmosphere of a plane, then by now, the entire world would already be out of control.

That would have been a true "natural disaster," not what it is now.

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

Lynn was no stranger to the emblem of the Goddess of the Magic Network.

He had seen records of her among the knowledge listed as "forbidden" within the primordial seed.

Among them is a very old proverb:

"After the nine stars align, there will be the blue and white stars."

"The Goddess of the Magic Net spreads her magic net across the heavens and the land."

The blue and white star in the sky is undoubtedly the manifestation of this power.

Just then, Old spoke again, his tone even more somber than before.

"The coordinates... are locked. A powerful force is continuously interfering here. The operation of the star chart has been forcibly interrupted."

"We are temporarily unable to establish contact with the Wizarding World; the teleportation array... cannot be activated. Neither calling for reinforcements nor reversing the evacuation... is feasible."

Above this sky, the increasingly clear blue and white star directly severed all passages between the Pano plane and the outside world!

At this moment, the Pano plane has become a completely sealed-off plane.

The expression on the face of the nobleman Sean, who was standing to the side, finally changed.

That handsome face, which was usually composed and even somewhat elegant, froze slightly at this moment, and his brows furrowed gently.

This scene was clearly beyond his expectations. He had not been unaware of the risks, as the planes invaded by the followers of the main god were already high-risk areas.

But he hadn't expected the danger to be this high.

The Pano plane is no ordinary fringe world; it belongs to the Natural God Dynasty and is one of its important strongholds for outward expansion.

It is under the protection of the natural gods and also under the surveillance and protection of the wizarding world.

Logically speaking, let alone beings at the Morning Star level, even those at a higher level, extraterrestrial powerhouses who have entered the Radiant Moon Domain, would not arbitrarily attack this place, much less directly interfere with the dimensional structure and block the passage.

But the goddess of magic, of course, insisted on taking this step.

As a supreme deity at the pinnacle of the divine civilization, she indeed possesses the ability to traverse vast distances and, using believers and the magic network as anchors, exert this level of interference.

But only there.

Sean's eyes flickered slightly.

He was well aware that this kind of cross-boundary intervention was not without limits. Given the countless light-years separating them, the fact that she could use the existence of her followers to launch this attack was already her limit.

Going any further would trigger the vigilance of other top-level entities.

Neither the Natural God Dynasty nor the Wizarding World could allow her to continue to penetrate deeper.

If she dares to descend in her true form, or even attempt to completely control the Pano plane, then in the next moment, an existence of the same level will likely make a move and even shatter that blue and white star on the spot!

But the Goddess of the Magic Network went to such great lengths, from countless light-years away, to pull this stunt; it couldn't possibly be as simple as just "blocking."

Impossible. They must have other plans in mind, if they were just trying to trap us here for a while.

Thinking of this, Sean felt a genuine sense of unease for the first time.

Now that the passage to the wizarding world has been cut off, even a high-ranking noble of the sixth-level Morning Star level cannot remain completely calm in this situation.

However, at that moment, his peripheral vision inadvertently swept to the side and landed on Lynn.

The next moment, his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, because Lynn's expression remained calm, without surprise or panic.

A mix of indescribable emotions welled up in Sean's heart—disgust, irritation, and a vague sense of apprehension.

He addressed him as "Lord" on the surface, but how could he possibly have any real respect for this "Level 5 Lord"?

Even without the previous grudges between the two, simply being by this person's side for this period of time had already made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

It wasn't just the other party's consistently calm and composed demeanor that made him feel uneasy; it was as if nothing could frighten him.

Just like now, even though his escape route was blocked and the situation had suddenly deteriorated, he still stood there, his expression indifferent.

This “calmness” was almost unbearably grating to Sean’s eyes, and even somewhat… infuriating.

Yet, this also made him wary; to remain so calm under such circumstances...

Either he's faking it, or he has a backup plan.

Sean's gaze deepened slightly.

What...is he thinking?

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

As for Lynn himself, he naturally had no idea; the nobleman beside him was already going through a lot of thoughts.

If he knew that Sean was actually annoyed by his "expressionless" appearance, and even felt a little wary, he would probably just sneer in his heart and curse him.

He does habitually wear a cold expression on people he doesn't know well, but that's about it. If that makes someone uncomfortable, then it's a bit too dramatic.

Moreover, the person in front of them was not exactly pleasing to the eye; the two not only had no friendship, but also harbored a secret grudge.

Under these circumstances, Lynn did not immediately display a sarcastic or mocking expression; he merely maintained a calm and expressionless demeanor, which was quite restrained, and could even be described as... very "friendly."

If it were Beverly, Astrid, or Evelyn, he certainly wouldn't be like this.

Even when facing the Northern Territory Lord, Bei Niao, Lynn wouldn't be this cold.

However, at this moment, he really had no mind to care about these things.

Because his attention was now completely focused on something else: the Goddess of the Magic Net's backup plan.

There is no doubt that the Pano dimension is sealed off.

The problem is that this blockade is two-way.

It's not just the wizarding world and the natural god dynasty that can't support this place.

The same goddess of magic is no longer able to mobilize power from the outside to enter this place.

Therefore, her "backup plan" could not possibly be outside of this dimension.

The only possibility has long been buried within the Pano plane.

This blockade, in essence, is nothing more than closing the door, preventing the prey from escaping.

"Sky City is safe. Earth City has also stabilized."

That leaves only one place.

"Ocean Kingdom..."

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly.

"If there really is a backup plan, it's most likely... over there."

With this thought in mind, he had already formed a general judgment.

But then another problem emerged.

"She...is actually that confident?"

Lynn's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, carrying a faint hint of coldness.

The marks on his body were not just ordinary marks, but the marks of two female gods who were hunting him down, enough to show how much trouble he had caused and how slippery he had been...

Given these circumstances, the fact that the other party still chose to set up a trap here indicates that this so-called "backup plan" is anything but ordinary.

"It can't be that bad..."

A thought flashed through his mind.

"Did they really throw that forbidden mage out?"

Or perhaps "her seven 'daughters'?"

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

Lynn merely raised his head slightly, glanced at the blue and white stars in the sky, and then returned his gaze to the battlefield.

At this moment, with the manifestation of that star, the state of the army of gods below clearly changed.

That was no longer just "tenacity," but a near-mad "living towards death."

In what was originally a one-sided situation, the mages and knights suddenly displayed an unusually tenacious resistance, with some even resorting to the extreme act of charging directly into the wizard ranks and self-destructing!

boom!
boom!
boom!
Clusters of energy exploded, forcing even the wizards to divert their attention to deal with them.

The battle began to show slight fluctuations, but that was all.

Lynn's gaze remained calm and indifferent.

"Even if she has a backup plan in the Ocean Kingdom, even if she has confidence in that thing... the outcome here is already decided!"

"With these people in the Earth Capital... you think you can turn things around? You're dreaming."

As the thought crossed his mind, he slowly moved his shoulders, his arms stretched out, and his bones made a slight cracking sound. Then he moved his neck, tilting it slightly to the side, making a crisp "click".

The movements were unhurried, as if they were doing warm-up exercises.

The next moment, he turned his head and looked at Sean beside him.

"Mr. Sean, since an unexpected turn of events has occurred... it's time for us to take action."

"Let's deal with the trouble below first."

As soon as the voice fell, Lynn took a step forward and leaped directly down from the sky!
Even in the instant of his fall, he did not activate even the most basic magical shield on his body.

Looking into the distance, one could see a figure descending from the top of the sky!

The long black robe fluttered in the wind, and as the hem danced, the outline of a slender yet powerful figure could be vaguely seen.

The gilded patterns on the robe shimmered continuously as it fell, their luster flowing as if they were alive.

He looked like a black meteorite thrown into the battlefield!

Since this "Lord" had personally taken to the field, the other two naturally did not linger any longer.

Olde's eyes flickered slightly. The star chart coordinates? They had already been completely disrupted by now, and there was no point in continuing to maintain them.

He decided not to waste any more energy, and with a swift movement, he followed closely behind, rushing downwards.

As for Sean, he maintained his usual elegance.

He slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, a bright red rose had appeared without him noticing.

The petals are full and the colors are alluring.

With a gentle clench of his fist, he transformed into countless scattered petals, drifting away with the wind and silently spreading towards the battlefield below.

This battle has clearly entered its final stage; a swift and decisive victory is needed to completely crush all the variables below!
....................................

"boom!!"

The air was torn apart, and Lynn's figure plummeted downwards at breakneck speed!
That speed even left a blurry trail of air around it.

For an ordinary wizard, such height and speed would have been fatal.

But Lynn didn't care at all.

Although he only reached the peak of the third-level Grand Wizard in his path of body refinement, it was enough to prevent him from falling to his death or his body from being unable to withstand such terrifying acceleration.

Moreover, his current foundation is that of a Level 5 Morning Star Wizard, and the power of rules he wields is... combat.

Previously, he stood high in the sky, overseeing the entire situation, looking down on everything like a chess player.

Now he is going to make the move himself.

How can one truly master the rules of combat without entering the battlefield? How can one improve without personally engaging in combat?

As he plummeted, the wind howled, but Lynn's senses became increasingly clear.

As he drew closer to the battlefield, some details that he had not previously noticed gradually came to light.

Those mages and knights who charged madly and self-destructed, their "deaths" seemed not to be pure.

Lynn's gaze sharpened slightly, for he clearly saw what had happened after those people fell.

It wasn't just flesh and blood shattering; rather, tiny specks of blue-white light were emanating from their bodies.

The points of light did not dissipate; instead, they were drawn by some force and slowly rose, converging towards the phantom of the blue and white star in the sky.

This scene reminded Lynn of something: the divine kingdom that Sean had mentioned earlier.

Some of the core mechanisms of the civilization of gods quickly surfaced in his mind.

Believers die, their souls return to God's Kingdom, and are then reborn.

If all of this is true, then the "madness" of this group of people is no longer hard to understand.

They were not fearless, but rather believed that they would not truly die.

"I see... but I still don't believe the Goddess of the Magic Network would be so merciful as to give ordinary believers a chance to be resurrected..."

"Besides... even if she gave you a chance... whether you can be resurrected depends on whether I give you that chance!"

A thought flashed through Lynn's mind.

His gaze quickly locked onto a target: a legendary mage. At this moment, the mage was in extremely poor condition, his aura was disordered, and his magical energy fluctuations were clearly weakened, indicating that he was already seriously injured.

Even worse, he was being besieged by two Morning Star Wizards!

Under the suppression of the rule-based sorcery, the opponent had almost no room to breathe and was in grave danger.

Although a legendary mage, with his vitality and resources, wouldn't be instantly killed, and would likely struggle for a few more moments before dying, it was only a matter of time.

At that moment, Lynn immediately turned around and helped the other party "speed up"!
The next moment, his trajectory suddenly changed, and he swooped down like a predator locking onto its prey! (End of Chapter)
