Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Meanwhile, in the ocean hundreds of kilometers away from the continent of Maransel, a grand celebration has quietly come to an end.

This celebration is none other than the newborn celebration of all sea creatures.

It is also a festival that presides over the manifestation of the laws of the sea.

Currently, among the sea creatures in the Oren plane, only the Merfolk have developed to the scale of a race.

They gathered other sea creatures and built underwater towns, underwater wizard academies, and even a small kingdom in the deep sea.

In the past, newborn celebrations were all held in this kingdom dominated by merfolk, and the laws of the sea were also manifested here.

Unfortunately, about two hundred years ago, this country was divided into two factions:

The radical faction, led by the eldest prince, openly refused to befriend any race on the continent and even considered restarting the conflict.

The conservative faction, led by the second prince, naturally advocated maintaining the status quo and fostering good relations with the races on the mainland.

Both sides held their own opinions, and the conflict intensified.

Finally, after the old king's death, the eldest prince led his supporters to break away from the kingdom and establish a new kingdom in the sea area closer to the Blood Domain.

And it was precisely because the more capable eldest prince's lineage left that the original kingdom was no longer as powerful as it once was, and it had even lost its former unity.

Even so, with the Golden Ring Crown as a check, the eldest prince can't cause much trouble at the moment; he only controls the sea area near the country.

However, after that, the Law of the Sea re-chosen the location of its manifestation, changing it to appear between the two kingdoms, so that the newborns of both sides could see it.

The place where the laws of the sea were re-reviveed was called the Land of New Life by all the sea creatures.

"..."

At this time, the newborn celebration held here had come to an end, and the various sea creatures that had arrived were leaving the land of newborns one after another with their newborn offspring.

Only a few merfolk remained to clean up the site after the celebration and to deal with any accidents that occurred during the celebration.

The land of new life is actually a large, naturally formed, flat seabed.

On this "undersea plain," milky-white fluorescent stones covered the entire open space, emitting a hazy fluorescent light that made the dark seabed appear incredibly sacred.

The largest building here is nothing more than a huge circular altar, which is where the laws of the sea are manifested.

When the laws of the sea are revealed, newborns of each race will line up according to their own race, and the lined-up children will surround the altar.

After that, they went up to the altar one after another to touch the laws of the sea in order to complete the certification of their identity.

Now, the Law of the Sea has completed its mission in the Oren plane this year and left this plane.

Therefore, the altar was empty at this moment, and even the runes on the edges were completely dimmed, awaiting the manifestation of the laws of the sea next year.

Around the altar, there are some exquisite underwater structures scattered around.

They are mostly built with underwater stones and corals, and their walls emit a brilliant fluorescent light.

Meanwhile, the merfolk who remained were dismantling these temporary structures and returning the stones and corals to their original places, to be reused for the next celebration.

Somewhere, several merfolk are dismantling the building that was responsible for registering those who were present.

Some of them formed a pair of giant hands from seawater, carrying stones from a distance, while others carefully removed the coral components from the surface one by one.

"Click—"

On the rooftop, a merman plucked a piece of pink coral.

He then got up to rest, and glanced at the empty altar in the distance.

"This time, there has really been quite a mess."

He sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the merman beside him raised his head and responded:

"Yeah, I never expected that an 'outsider' would infiltrate the merfolk's ranks. Ha."

Because of their small numbers, the queue of half-mermaids included not only newborn half-mermaids with impure bloodlines, but also land-dwelling races that had received mermaid blood transplants.

After all, they were not originally merfolk, so after receiving merfolk blood, they could be considered newborn sea creatures.

As for whether they are willing to violate the laws of the sea, that is entirely up to each individual, after all, the Land of New Life is not exactly a secret place.

At this moment, another merman, having overheard their conversation, chimed in:

"Yes, I never expected that a wizard would actually try to disguise himself as a newborn mermaid by using a modified version of the mermaid soup."

He scoffed, clearly showing utter disdain for such behavior.

"I heard he was planning to use the power of the ocean laws to forcibly transform himself into a true merman in terms of bloodline, but how could such a thing be possible?"

"Our ocean laws are the product of the joint efforts of several top wizards. How could such despicable means possibly succeed?"

But at this moment, an older merman refuted his point of view:

"No, the ocean laws projected onto the Oren plane are relatively low-level; his might actually work."

As he spoke, he squinted his somewhat cloudy eyes and recalled the details of that time.

"I remember... that guy was really close to succeeding, but something unexpected happened, which led to the accident..."

While the group was engaged in a heated discussion, in another part of the land of rebirth, two merfolk were guarding the "protagonist" of the incident.

The "protagonist" of this incident was Wakka, who had recently left Coral Oath.

Clearly, his plan did not succeed.

Furthermore, because of this close-range desecration of the laws of the ocean, before the merfolk present could even make a move, he was already consumed by the power of the laws and died on the spot.

Even more tragically, this guy, who was obsessed with breaking his own curse, died still wearing the skin of a half-fishman.

He even died as a half-fishman.

That is, after being harmed by the power of the law, the effects of the medicine on his body instantly disappeared.

The muscular merman skin instantly shattered, revealing a bloody, comical half-human, half-fish creature inside.

……

Now, Wakana's already cold body is casually placed on a simple stone platform.

The tattered mermaid skins were scattered all over his body like rags, and the bloodstains on the surface had long since congealed.

His limbs were stiff, and his skin was dry and withered, completely devoid of life.

The lingering shock and resentment in his eyes transformed into an unfulfilled obsession that he could not achieve even in death, silently dissipating into the cold, desolate seabed.

"..."

At the same time, a barely perceptible spatial ripple suddenly appeared nearby.
