Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 873 The Truth of the Three Cave Worlds and the Acquisition of Huge Resources (Two Chapters Combined, 1.08 words)

Orion, who was behind Locke, immediately stepped forward to stop this mortal from the city-state of Delius from approaching Locke, and reprimanded him, "As a ranger, how can you speak to Lord Augustine like that and speak for those giants who want to destroy the world?"

After five years of confrontation, Orion has come to understand the thoughts of the giants on the crater.

They want a war that will sweep across the entire Three Caverns World in the present world, and then use this war to ignite the flames of destruction, so as to reduce the number of mortals.

This is the situation in which the city-state of Delius confronts the allied forces of other city-states. But now that the war giant is dead, the principles of war have vanished and are no longer manifest, so the 'world-ending fire' proclaimed on the other side of the crater has no basis to be ignited.

The blacksmith immediately knelt down and said to Orion, "Lord Orion, I am full of loyalty to the Rangers. But that is precisely why I must express my true feelings."

"This is what I was told on my first day as a ranger—don't ignore the real experiences you get through your senses."

"The Wind Giant's real name is Eleanor."

The blacksmith pleaded with Locke and Orion.

“I am…friends with Eleanor. She once told me that she knew there was something wrong with the crater, and that she had tried to find the God-King, but could not find him no matter what she did.”

Orion spat dismissively.

"The gods always have their reasons. Enough, Theeus. I've had enough of your absurdities. Over the years, I thought you had disenchanted them after witnessing so many ridiculous things they had done. But I never expected you to be here pleading with my mentor for them."

“If my teacher had lost just now, then we… Delius, and everyone else, would have died, and the world would have been engulfed by the flames of destruction. Our world would have been destroyed.”

The blacksmith Teeus stood up and said angrily, "Orion, you shouldn't deny all the achievements of the gods of the crater because of your own personal misfortune. Whether you admit it or not, the gods have done a lot of good things."

"For a long time, they ensured that the world below the mountain enjoyed favorable weather and abundant harvests."

"They did not come without merit!"

The blacksmith Terius looked at Locke and was about to kneel down before him, but Locke frowned and stopped him from kneeling down again.

"According to the principles of the forest, there is no hierarchy within the forest, and all forest rangers are equal. You only need to bow to me, you don't need to kneel down."

Tereus immediately stood up and bowed to Locke.

“Please forgive me, Professor Augustine. It’s just that the Wind Giant was my friend, and I believe she is innocent. She shouldn’t have died.”

“This is my perspective based on the simple values ​​of a ranger, just as you taught us through Orion.”

Locke glanced at him and suddenly asked, "You and Eleanor are lovers?"

Orion looked at Teeus with a look of utter disbelief, his expression one of utter horror.

“Teacher Tree Man, Teeus is just a blacksmith in our city-state. He is one of the warriors I personally defeated.”

Teus hesitated, his face turning red.

"No, I... I'm not worthy."

Locke glanced at him, then waved his hand, and a large blue-leaf dragon sparrow flew out like a bluebird, using its tail formed from false roots to bind the wind giant sealed by the winter magic plant. Immediately afterwards, two more large blue-leaf dragon sparrows also appeared like bluebirds, and used their tails formed from false roots to bind Orion and Teus respectively.

Locke said, "Come with me."

Locke replaced the Demonic Dragon Rose on his back. The Demonic Dragon Rose was a wild magical plant, strong as it was, but unlike the magical plants he cultivated, he understood every detail with ease.

Therefore, when simply moving around, Locke used his own bred Four-Winged Great Blue Leaf Dragon Sparrow.

Behind him appeared a large green-leafed dragon sparrow with four banana leaves, one large and three small. Locke used the technique "One Tree Cannot Support" to simultaneously control four large green-leafed dragon sparrows of different levels.

This time, by perfecting the Leaf of Power and refining his ultimate magic, he essentially refined his own ultimate magic, thus becoming more proficient in botanical magic.

Significant progress has been made.

Soon, they flew to the highest mountain in the mortal realm of the Three Caves World. The top of this mountain was the closest place to the sky in the mortal world, and the sun hung in the sky above the mountain peak like molten gold.

Locke landed on the mountain peak, and with a wave of his hand, he used the "Unable to Support a Single Tree" technique to control the Mountain Dragon Naked Fern, transforming it into a wooden dragon that continued to spread and grow, eventually blotting out the sky and forming a circle around itself.

Although the wooden dragon's body could not create an airtight environment.

However, the Wild Surge energy emanating from the Naked Fern of the Mountain Dragon can block the gaze of the gods, because those gods have an extremely intricate power system designed behind them, and the Wild Surge energy is precisely what restrains all things exquisite and strengthens all things primal.

Therefore, this place is perfect for isolating the inside from the outside and preventing anyone from paying attention.

Locke extended a finger, and instantly a large stream of energy, resembling a winter plum blossom, detached from the frozen wind giant's ice block, then transformed into a gust of cold wind and returned to his finger.

In an instant, the ice shattered.

Countless gusts of wind flew out from the ice blocks, transforming into wind blades that fled into the distance.

However, the scattered winds collided with the [Wild Surge] energy circle formed by the Naked Fern of the Mountain Dragon, and she immediately screamed in agony.

She was like a car that had crashed directly into a steel barrier.

The wind principle of the Three Cave Worlds suddenly detached from her, causing her to lose all her power in an instant. She transformed from wind into human form and fell to the ground.

With a 'bang'.

The giant of wind crashed heavily to the ground.

"Demon!"

The wind giant Eleanor got up from the ground, her eyes filled with fear and unease. She looked at Locke with a terrified gaze, then got up again and retreated.

Locke frowned, because the surging wild energy was having a greater effect on her than he had thought.

The connection between the Wind Giant and the dimensional laws of this world is particularly weak.

In fact, I discovered during the battle that, firstly, the Giant Kings' methods of utilizing the World Principles were very primitive, and secondly, their connection with the World Principles was not as close as they thought.

Previously, whenever he pressed down on them with demonic pressure, he was able to force a certain world principle that had originally resonated with them to retreat by colliding with the demonic pressure.

But this shouldn't be happening at all.

If they truly are leaves of the World Tree, granting them this ability, their connection to the principles of the world should not be so easily severed.

Locke asked the Wind Giant, "Do you know Nicholas?"

The wind giant was stunned for a moment, then its pupils shrank instantly, and its reaction was extremely strong.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

At this moment, the Wind Giant noticed Teus beside Locke, and she gritted her teeth.

The demon clearly knew about Teus's relationship with her, and he actually used a mortal to threaten her.

No, she will not give in.

Locke asked the Wind Giant again, "As a giant from the crater, how could you not know who Nicholas is? And both rings on your hands belong to Nicholas."

The giant of wind suddenly narrowed her pupils. She glanced at Teeus, as if considering something, but in the end she simply closed her eyes.

"Demon God, you are incredibly powerful, kill me!"

“I am no match for you. But it is impossible for you to get any information about Nicholas from me.”

The Wind Giant dropped the pretense and stated directly that she could not possibly tell Locke any information about Nicholas.

Locke raised an eyebrow, wondering about the relationship between the Wind Giant and Nicholas, as her loyalty to Nicholas was somewhat beyond his expectations.

No wonder that divine eye wanted to use his own hands to kill her.

Theeus, who was standing nearby, was very anxious and shouted to the wind giant, "Eleanor, tell Professor Augustine what's wrong. You'll die if this continues."

The giant of wind frowned. "No, Theeus, you don't understand. Some things are always more important than life. I won't say anything."

The Wind Giant seemed to have become stubborn. She frowned and looked at Locke, saying, "Demon God, you can just kill me."

Upon witnessing this scene, Orion, who had always harbored hostility towards the Wind Giant, also remained silent.

He sensed that the Wind Giant was different from the King Giant and War Giant he had encountered before.

Seeing the wind giant's persistence, Locke suddenly had a guess and asked, "Nicholas, is he your teacher?"

The wind giant Eleanor simply said, "You demon god, you can destroy me now."

Seeing her reaction, Locke guessed the truth. He then released a magical radiance, which contained his own spiritual essence.

“Eleanor, take a look at this.”

Eleanor, the Wind Giant, looked up with a puzzled expression.

The next moment, the look of confusion on her face turned into horror.

"Teacher...? You're Teacher Nicholas?"

Because Eleanor received the response of the Wind Principle of the Three Holes World, she also possessed a second-ring level status. At this time, she naturally discovered that Locke's spiritual essence was the same as Nicholas's spiritual essence.

Eleanor was utterly horrified.

"Teacher, how are you still alive?"

"Didn't you and the God-King both disappear?"

Eleanor's face lit up with surprise, and the fear in her eyes vanished in an instant. She stood up from the ground, and then her body suddenly shrank to only three times the height of a human.

Although it still looks like a giant, it doesn't have a height that reaches the sky and the earth.

Eleanor said to Locke, "Professor Nicholas, I'm so glad to see you again."

“You have no idea how I’ve spent these years. I’ve tried to find you and the God-King, but I’ve searched everywhere and I can’t find you and the God-King. It’s as if you and the God-King have vanished.”

“I searched the entire crater and the sky, the wolf giants searched the entire wolf hell, the water giants searched the entire mortal world and the sea realm, but we could not find you. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Our former brethren have either died or betrayed us under the cruelty of the ‘God above God’.”

Locke frowned.

Since the Wind Giantess has obviously been in this world for a long time, she should have been searching for her other half for some time.

Previously, he had only thought that the Divine Eye had hidden half of his body in some corner of this world, and that the world was so big that he hadn't found it for a while.

But now it seems that his half-body is not in the present world at all, or in one of the three higher planes.

Locke asked suspiciously, "What is the relationship between Nicholas and you giants?"

Eleanor looked puzzled.

"Professor Nicholas, the eleven giants on the crater, as well as the giant in the Demon Wolf Hell, were all personally sealed by you."

Upon hearing this, Orion and Teus looked at Locke in surprise, which quickly turned into admiration.

Orion looked at Locke excitedly and said, "So, Teacher Tree Man, you are the god of the crater."

Locke remained silent.

I am not a god, but merely a guardian of nature and a wizard.

Moreover, the timing doesn't match.

Could it be that……

Locke immediately looked up at the planes in the sky above the Three Holes World.

"Yes, the present world of the Three Caves is unstable, and the spacetime order is also unstable. In the three higher planes, they are basically all related to the flow of time."

It's possible that a higher plane could confuse the timeline, causing his half to arrive in this world and recreate the twelve giants.

That means the giants on the crater are not the same group of giants that I first observed with the Void Cube.

This is indeed something that could happen.

After all, those giants were merely responders to the principles of the various worlds, so their personal characteristics were insignificant compared to the characteristics of the principles of the three planes, and they were extremely easy to be swallowed up by them.

Locke whispered, "So, mortals in this world can become gods, and the giants on the crater have changed more than once?"

Eleanor said, "Yes, Professor Nicholas."

The Wind Giant no longer showed fear towards Locke, nor did she display such strong resistance. She acted like a rather naive young girl, expressing to Locke the pain she felt for not seeing her teacher for so long.

"Teacher, where have you been all this time?"

Locke pondered for a moment, then said, “The situation is complicated. I am both your teacher and not your teacher. Nicholas is me, and I am not Nicholas.”

Locke gave Eleanor a brief introduction to the Endless Void and the Wizarding World, wanting to tell her that the world is not just as big as the Three Holes World.

But Eleanor seems to have difficulty accepting this concept.

"Teacher, are you saying that there are other planes in the crystal wall system? I know that."

"On the Primordial Lotus, there are also some smaller planes. Did you enter the mortal world from one of those planes?"

Locke frowned, because those were merely demiplanes within this world. It was difficult to explain to the natives the differences between demiplanes, elemental planes, upper planes, and the various worlds in the endless void.

After all, they had never seen the endless void with their own eyes.

Locke could only say, "You can understand it that way."

Eleanor said to Locke, "But no matter what, as long as you're back, that's good. Maybe the God King will come back too after you return."

"Everything will be alright."

Locke asked Eleanor, "Eleanor, I want to ask you, what exactly did my clone Nicholas do in this world, and why do you have doubts about the 'God Supreme God'?"

The wind giant Eleanor frowned and said to Locke, "We were originally just mortals."

"They are no different from ordinary mortals in the world. The twelve giants on the crater were originally gods born of nature, unlike us. But those giants are more ferocious than we are now, and they feed on humans. The God-King is just as elusive as he is now; the one in charge is that... evil eye."

"In that era, that evil eye allowed giant gods to devour us at will. But then, you appeared, teacher."

A look of admiration flashed in Eleanor's eyes. Nicholas's name was exceptionally useful in this world. When the Wind Giant discovered that Locke was Nicholas, her eyes shone as she looked at Locke.

"You taught the tribe civilization, raised the level of civilization of mortals, and gave them dignity. But that's not all. You discovered a secret and used it to create a treasure called the Book of Gods. Under the influence of this treasure, you modified the original logic of the 'Gods Above Gods'—that is, only the descendants of people with a specific identity can resonate with the principles of the world."

"You have transformed it so that only those who perform certain specific actions can elicit a response from the principles of the world."

Locke suddenly realized.

No wonder the way the dimensional laws of this world respond is open source; I was wondering how that divine eye could be so magnanimous.

As long as someone performs an action that conforms to a world principle, they can receive a response from that world principle.

It turns out that open source creators are actually half of themselves!

No wonder that divine eye hated his own half so much. His half added to and modified the foundation of his world system, almost turning it into his own world system.

Of course, God's Eye would hate Nicholas.

Why does that wolf incarnation hate Nicholas?
Locke pondered for a moment, guessing that the arrival of his half-body had disrupted the balance of this world.

Moreover, the wolf incarnation would naturally fear its own half.

As a second-circle wizard, he naturally realized that this world had been targeted by other wizards. Having lost his complete wizard identity, he would naturally feel fear about this, and might even join forces with his original enemy, the Divine Eye, to plot against him.

Although the Divine Eye was his enemy, vying with him for control of the world, the arrival of his other half created a basis for cooperation between them.

Orion and Teus listened to this shocking news in horror.

It turns out that God was originally a human!

It turns out that humans can become gods!

Their worldviews are crumbling.

Locke pondered, "Have I opened up the principles of the world, which were originally only accessible to specific individuals and their descendants, to everyone?"

Locke realized the true identity of the world principle that had almost resonated with him—it was the Book of Gods.

That explains what happened.

The second-circle wizard of the Transfiguration school in the Demon Wolf Hell, after discovering that he was Nicholas's true form, immediately attempted to establish contact with the Divine Eye.

The two of them set a trap for themselves.

But the Divine Eye was clearly more cunning than that second-ring wizard. He deliberately sent giants down to kill him, wanting him to kill those who resonated with the principles of the world, so that the principles of the world would fear him, and he did not want him to establish a connection with the principles of the Book of Gods.

Once he establishes a connection with it, he will directly plunder all of the divine eye's operations within the Three Caves World.

He might even take away some of his divine foundation.

However, he couldn't confirm the other party's identity yet, and it was impossible for him to bother his teacher, the witch Catherine, for such a trivial matter; she was already busy enough.

Locke asked, "Then how did my clone, Nicholas, perish?"

Eleanor, the wind giant, shook her head in confusion. "Back then, you had a group of giant kings by your side. They followed you to conquer the crater."

"Later, the Divine Eye took the initiative to negotiate with you, so you and we entered the crater."

"Then, you were invited by the Lord of the Dire Wolves to enter the Dire Wolves Hell, and you never returned. The Dire Wolves Giant was also one of your men, but he searched the entire Dire Wolves Hell and could not find you there."

Locke nodded slightly.

That's it then. It's likely that the Demon Wolf Wizard betrayed his own half, collaborating with his original enemy, the Divine Eye, to deliberately sabotage his own half.

The location of my half-body should be the same as the location of that god-king.

However, they should not be in the three upper planes of the Three Holes World or the present world, nor in the Crystal Wall System.

Locke guessed that the most likely explanation was that the two of them were secretly imprisoned by the Divine Eye somewhere in the Imaginary Sea River of the Three Cave Worlds.

That makes it hard to find.

The Three Cave Worlds are already very large, and the Imaginary Number Sea and Great River represent the possibilities of the Three Cave Worlds, equivalent to the trajectory of tens of thousands of possible Three Cave Worlds, which is tens of thousands of times larger than the Three Cave Worlds.

If Godeye really did build a prison there, finding his half-body and the God-King would become very complicated.

Moreover, the fact that they were able to do this demonstrates that the other party indeed possesses a high level of civilization.

Locke released the Naked Fern and asked the Wind Giant Eleanor, "So, Eleanor, you're not entirely sure about the details of that eye either."

Eleanor, the wind giant, shook her head.

“Professor Nicholas said that the gods of the crater were not what they are now. The gods of the crater had already been replaced once by that evil eye, so this was the second time that the gods of the crater had been replaced. Professor Nicholas originally planned to gradually expel that evil eye from this world.”

"He told us that peace should be maintained... the war only needs to be kept to a necessary limit, and he wanted to negotiate with that evil eye."

"But as a result, after he went to the Demon Wolf Hell, he disappeared without a trace."

"Since then, we have been leaderless and have fallen into internal strife. Most of us have been turned by that evil eye, and only the three of us remain loyal to you."

"Especially the Demon Wolf Giant, who is your most loyal disciple. He volunteered to the Divine Eye and, with the Divine Eye's help, entered the Demon Wolf Hell, went deep into that place, and tried to find you there, and has always been at odds with the Lord of the Demon Wolves."

Locke asked, "If that's the case, why did you cooperate with the Lord of the Dire Wolves when he attacked me?"

The wind giant Eleanor blushed slightly.

“In this world, there have been many rebellious people who have impersonated teachers, and we thought you were one of them.”

“Although we still pledge allegiance to you, we have been watched by that evil eye for far too long. Obeying his commands has become a habit.”

Locke nodded slightly.

Luckily, I didn't kill that wolf giant before. If I had, I would have killed the wrong person.

The wind giant Eleanor was about to speak when a cursed spirit suddenly appeared before Locke's eyes, projected by Hussein, who was communicating with him using the power of curses.

Hussein's voice came into his ears.

"Locke, come quickly to this side of the sea. There's a new discovery here."

Locke said to Orion and the other man, "The Great Azure Leaf Dragon Sparrow will take you back to the city-state. Go there to train your warriors and help my people build digging wells."

The banana leaves, one large and three small, behind Locke trembled slightly, like the broken wings of an ancient green dragon. Locke harnessed the magical wind and swiftly flew towards the direction of the sea realm.

Meanwhile, the wind giant Eleanor seemed determined not to leave Locke for even a moment, immediately following him.

“Professor Nicholas, wait for me, I’ll go with you.”

Five days later in the mortal realm, the two crossed the crater and flew out of the mortal world and the crater's boundaries. They then quickly flew away from the location of the Creation Lotus and arrived at the Imaginary Sea River.

This great river looks like a normal river, except that its size is exaggerated.

This is a river larger than the present world, and even larger than the Primordial Lotus.

If an organism lacks sufficient understanding, standing on this river, it would only think it is an ocean, and would not realize that it is a river flowing from one hole to another with a rapid current.

Eleanor, the wind giant, gritted her teeth.

As soon as she left the mortal world, the wind principle within her and her responsiveness rapidly decreased.

Locke glanced at her strangely, not understanding why the power system designed for his half-body was so bad.

Perhaps it's not a problem with my own half, but rather that the underlying logic of the power system created by that divine eye is too flawed.

Locke gently touched the wind giant's forehead, and a primordial fire immediately appeared between her brows.

"Your power system is too poor, and the response to the Law of Wind is too weak, with more than one middleman involved."

Indeed, Locke had discovered long ago that none of the native inhabitants of this world could directly connect with nature.

Since they cannot directly connect with nature, it is equivalent to them responding to the principles of the world through several intermediaries.

The Investiture of the Gods was probably just one of the middlemen in this process.

And that "divine eye" probably also has its own middlemen.

These intermediaries have resulted in the responsiveness between the gods of these craters and the principles of the world being so weak that it could break down at any moment.

Having just left the mortal world, I never expected that the wind giant Eleanor would be on the verge of death.

He hasn't left this world yet!
Locke used the Reverse Refinement Method as the main technique and the Name Magic Potion as the method to capture Ling Hong from the Principle of Wind. Then, he directly refined a portion of the Ling Hong from the Principle of Wind into her name.

Just like what he did to Orion.

In an instant, the wind giant Eleanor felt that her connection with the Law of Wind had been strengthened.

Even after she left the mortal world, her responsiveness to the Law of Wind didn't decrease much.

"thank you teacher."

"Eleanor, the wind giant, said to Locke."

Locke led her onward, and following the guidance of Hussein's cursed spirit threads, they arrived at a midpoint of the Imaginary Sea River, a place radiating a deep blue light.

At this moment, Hussein revealed his true form as the Blood Ancestor, standing on the river with his arms crossed.

He retained his six wings, six eyes, and six arms. His body showed traces of werewolves and also some traces of high-level tree spirits.

The height that Hussein's Blood Ancestor True Form maintained at this moment was more exaggerated than that of all the giants on the crater; these giants all seemed so insignificant in front of him.

Eleanor, the giant of wind, looked at Hussein in awe, marveling at his power and feeling fear because she did not know who he was.

Hussein glanced down at her, his scarlet eyes sending shivers down her spine.

Hussein asked, "Locke, what are you doing with this little native?"

Locke said, “Hussein, the situation is a bit complicated. This person might be one of my native students. I don’t know if it’s because of the power of my teacher’s Heart Spell or some other reason, but my half of me has somehow traveled through time here and deeply interfered with the civilization inside this world. So, this person and the Demon Wolf Giant are both my students.”

Hussein looked on with astonishment.

"That's quite a novel way of putting it."

"The new methods of exploration and resource gathering invented by your Jinmian Mountain?"

"The fact that one half of the body was deployed in advance to collect resources does indeed improve efficiency considerably."

Locke smiled.

Stop being so sarcastic.

Hussein reverted to his Blood Ancestor form, transforming back into the noble young man in wizard robes. He said to Locke, "I have made a special discovery in the Sea Realm. Regarding your mention of time travel, I believe it is very likely related to this Sea Realm."

Locke looked in the direction Hussein pointed and immediately saw that half of the upper plane was like a divine light shooting into the sea realm, and at the same time, this divine light was like a glass passage.

A look of surprise flashed across Locke's eyes.

"This half of the upper plane is actually an unstable time tunnel!"

It's like a hot spring emerging from a crack in the rock strata under the pressure of the earth.

An unstable spacetime in a world can also create spacetime tunnels, but this is generally rare because the very existence of a spacetime tunnel can potentially destroy that world.

If the spacetime channel is not controlled and suddenly expands, it may engulf the entire present world, pull the present world into the sea of ​​imaginary numbers, and cause all things and forms to return to their original state.

Therefore, a world would generally try to avoid the appearance of such a thing. However, the Three-Hole World had serious problems at the beginning of its creation, which even led to the creation of a higher plane of the type of half-time tunnel in this world.

Hussein crossed his arms and said, "This is a sea eye. Once it's fully formed, it will probably be the most dangerous place in the Three Cave Worlds. Fortunately, it's only half there right now. I think your half of body must have entered this sea eye, which is why you can appear in the past."

"However, this sea eye is completely incomplete and extremely unstable. It is completely unknown which time period it leads to, or even that it leads to a fixed time period. If we rashly enter, we will be trapped in a time loop, and only a third-ring wizard will be able to get out."

Even if we die in it.

Locke nodded.

he knows.

The time loop is terrifying. Even sending avatars or clones into it is useless, because the disordered time will catch up with your original body and all your clones.

Therefore, this sea eye is extremely dangerous for both himself and Hussein.

This can be considered a great force of nature.

Hussein pointed to the minerals floating at the edge of the sea eye and said, "But look, there should be some special spiritual energy at the edge of this sea eye. There are also some special magical creatures in the sea eye. I'm interested in this. That's why I immediately called you over to cooperate. That spiritual energy should also be very helpful to you, after all, it's spiritual energy that exists near the spacetime passage."

Locke looked into the world of the sea eye and saw a three-headed black sheep wandering and breathing within it.

"It's actually a three-headed demon sheep. No wonder even you, Hussein, are interested."

“I suspect that those spiritual energies are likely [Sea Spiritual Energy], a type of spiritual energy that can only be formed under extremely high magical pressure. It is probably produced by the compression of these spiritual energies by the spacetime tunnel in the sea realm.”

"how to cooperate?"

Hussein nodded and said, "The Three-Headed Demon Goat is the core material for creating the Pan God's Transformation Curse. I've been searching for it for a long time. I never expected to find it here, so I don't want to give up. If I can complete the Pan God's Transformation Curse and add it to the Great Rune of my Great Magic, it will have a qualitative change effect on my Great Magic."

“In this way, I will have a better chance of facing the progenitor wizard a hundred years from now. Locke, it’s not just you who’s caught up in the academic lineage dispute, it’s me too.”

The trap set by the ancestral shaman is also a kind of struggle over lineage.

However, his entire academic lineage may be a trap.

Locke could sense Hussein's anxiety.

"I see."

Hussein gave a wry smile and mocked himself.

"I'm such a miserable person. During my apprenticeship, I worried about the Blood Curse Court; now that I'm a second-circle wizard, I worry about the Proto-Wizards. Sigh."

Locke said briefly, "The problem lies with the magical lineage you've come into contact with. You should actually abandon the lineage of the progenitor wizards and use the magical lineage of the Mithril Law Firm."

Hussein whispered, "The magical inheritance of Mithril Law Firm also has pitfalls. If I accept the complete inheritance of Mithril Law Firm, I might become a slave to the firm."

"Forget about that. We can't both get trapped in the time tunnel and swept into the time vortex, but we still need to obtain the treasures within. I think the best way is for me to curse you and then enter the sea realm. You don't need to come in."

“I used my curse on you as a link, turning it into a rope to help me establish a direction to return in the spacetime vortex. I am the Blood Ancestor, possessing powerful immortality, and have a greater margin for error than you.”

Locke asked, "What blood curse?"

Hussein's eyes flashed: "A two-hit kill blood curse!"

Locke fell silent.

Hussein said, "Only in this way can a powerful curse be generated, allowing me to pinpoint your location amidst the temporal turbulence."

Locke frowned, because under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to unleash a devastating blood curse like the Grass Titan.

Because of the permanent defensive force field shell.

But if you actively seek to win, that's a different story.

The wind giant Eleanor sensed the strange atmosphere between Locke and Hussein.

Hussein glanced at Locke with a puzzled look.

"Locke, don't you trust me?"

Locke said in a low voice, "Hussein, have you forgotten that I am a potion master? I am extremely sensitive to any residual power. Why don't you tell me that you recently came into contact with that eye?"

Hussein raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips.

“I don’t think it’s necessary. It will only increase the distrust between us. We still need to cooperate to safely enter the sea and retrieve the treasures within.”

"This cannot be done if either of us does not trust the other."

"So I don't think it's necessary."

Locke reached out and immediately grasped a spiritual essence from Hussein. It was the spiritual essence left on Hussein after the brief contact between the divine eye of the supreme god and Hussein.

That was proof that Hussein had seen that eye with his own eyes.

This lingering image of Ling Hong existed in his eyes.

Therefore, the contact between things will leave spiritual essence on others through the form of light and shadow.

However, that was just an afterimage, so it couldn't be used.

An ordinary wizard might not store their spiritual essence in another person simply by interacting with them, but that divine eye is different; it is not a normal life form.

He was like a being that constantly emanated the spirit within his name, and wherever he went, he would try to leave his spirit behind somewhere.

Therefore, the moment Locke met Hussein, he realized that he had just come into contact with that eye.

Hussein's smile vanished as he watched Locke crush the Linghong in his hand.

"You don't need to doubt me. I am who I am. I will only ever make the right decision."

"Have you forgotten that I was once a dark wizard? I'm now being hunted by my own lineage and lack resources. That Divine Eye wants to make a deal with me, giving me a book called the Book of Gods, the Book of World Principles. If I can get that book, I can gain at least twelve second-ring level blood servants. Do you think that's incredibly tempting? With these blood servants, I won't have to worry about the Blood Demon Palace of the Pale Pilgrimage hunting me down. Don't you think so? You should know my character, if we were truly friends."

"Locke, my only good friend, I remember it's been a long time since we fought, hasn't it?"

"I wonder who is stronger and who is weaker between us at this moment?"

Locke smiled at this.

"I see."

The next moment, Hussein transformed once again into the towering Blood Ancestor, while Locke summoned the Demon Dragon Rose, which floated in mid-air.

The two forces collided directly.

The surrounding sea breeze churns up clouds, and the waves never cease.

The wind giant Eleanor asked Locke, "Teacher?"

Four magical plants appeared around Locke: the Spring Magical Plant, the Summer Magical Plant, the Autumn Magical Plant, and the Winter Magical Plant. At the same time, based on his previous knowledge of the four seasons, and combined with the cyclical power formed by the three major power fields of the Mister Power, he created a prototype of a spell model for the changing seasons.

The divine eye appeared behind Hussein and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... As expected of the Nightmare Legion, Hussein, I admire you. Everyone looks out for themselves."

"Don't be afraid, I'll help you."

Locke glanced at the divine eye.

"I see. You made some kind of misjudgment."

The next moment, Hussein turned around and his blood claws reached directly for the divine eye as he unleashed a double-strike blood curse.

When he first met the Divine Eye in the sea realm, he had already placed a two-hit kill blood curse on him.

At that time, Godeye mistakenly thought that he had just greeted Hussein and suffered a minor injury.

Hussein was waiting for this cunning divine eye to appear before him a second time.

He has a personality that likes to solve problems quickly, regardless of how much he can gain.

After all, as long as you destroy the enemy, you can always get some loot.

Therefore, what he wanted from the beginning was not the Book of Gods. After all, he was a person who sought enlightenment from within. He didn't care about the twelve blood servants. The debt slave of the previous Pale Pilgrimage was only there to fight against the Blood Demon Palace's "claiming of ancestor status".

Therefore, from the very beginning, he wanted the Divine Eye to appear before him a second time.

Then, he can complete the two-hit kill blood curse.

But to complete this plan, he and Locke need to trust each other.

Locke trusted Hussein because Hussein was not someone who liked to seek external help, and he believed that the allure of the divine eye to Hussein was unfounded.

Besides, Hussein can simply go and get whatever he wants.

That's how powerful he is.

Hussein trusted Locke because of their previous relationship, and also because Locke clearly used a spell model that was never actually completed.

That didn't look like they were about to fight at all.

The two have already exchanged the secret code!
At that moment, Shenyan was caught off guard and struck by Hussein's blood claw.
