Wizards begin with Occlumency.

If you're a tool, you have to be aware of what it means to be a tool.

Link adjusted his attitude and decided to be a complete tool.

Therefore, he followed wherever the Supreme Council sent his troops.

He did whatever Dean Forrest, who represented the college, did.

There's no need to consider issues like gender differences or potential inconveniences.

After all, if a sage-level wizard cannot control his physical body freely and achieve abstinence from grains, he might as well smash his head against a block of tofu and die.

"Where to next?"

Having completed the intergalactic teleportation and arrived at the advance base established by the Supreme Council, Dean Forrest immediately approached the accompanying team sent by the Supreme Council and issued an inquiry on behalf of the Rivosos Academy.

To everyone's surprise, the leader of the Supreme Council's group, a sixth-level sage, said, "We'll go wherever you go. This time, we're only bringing our eyes and ears; we won't give orders blindly."

"???"

Dean Forrest looked utterly surprised and puzzled, as if three question marks had appeared above his head. He said, "The Supreme Council demanded that our academy cooperate with Link Grand's operations, and now you're saying you only brought eyes and ears, not commands. What does that mean?"

The level six sage replied, "I apologize, that is the order we received. If you have any questions, please ask the person who initially contacted you."

"Alright."

Dean Forrest shrugged, seemingly helpless against this Level 6 Sage.

Turning around, Dean Forrest found Iris Clark, who was standing with Link, and said, "Iris, the High Council is causing some trouble. Please take us to the Academy's base here."

Due to the existence of the Great Sage Michel and the Tower of the Great Sage Michel, the Rivosos Academy, apart from Iris Clark, essentially gave up on development in the parallel universe in the early stages.

Therefore, the base of Rivosos Academy located in a parallel universe is actually registered under the name of Iris Clark.

Using Iris Clark's special identity, they secretly developed their business.

"No problem, Dean."

Iris Clark glanced at the expressionless six-person High Council group and agreed to Dean Forrest's request.

"Come with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Iris Clark, along with Dean Forrest and Link, headed towards one direction of the port.

There, Iris Clark's own transportation vehicle, left behind in this shuttle port in the parallel universe, is parked.

The six-member High Council team immediately followed.

Before long, the group arrived at a quadrangle transportation vehicle that clearly incorporated the distinctive technologies of a wizard civilization's interstellar warship, yet was shaped like a flying boat from a parallel universe's immortal civilization.

"I'm sorry, you are not within the passenger range of my airship."

After Dean Forrest and Link boarded the interstellar spaceship via the gangway, Iris Clark stopped the six-person Supreme Council group. Her tone was apologetic, but a wildly smirking smile played on her lips as she said, "I'm truly sorry. If you want to follow, please find your own transportation. I don't think that will be difficult for you. After all, the Supreme Council's influence in this universe is vast, with tentacles everywhere. Even if you can't find an interstellar spaceship belonging to the Supreme Council right now, you can always ask the Celestial Civilization for help."

After saying this, Iris Clark ignored the grim expressions on the faces of the six members of the Supreme Council and leisurely boarded her interstellar spaceship.

Not long after, with permission from the interplanetary port, Iris Clark's private interplanetary spaceship set sail.

"Sage Medici, what do we do next?"

As they watched Iris Clark's private interstellar spaceship depart from the spaceport, one of the wizards in the six-member High Council team spoke up to inquire.

"What should we do?"

The team leader, Medici, a level six sage, smiled and said, "Of course we'll follow them."

As soon as the words were spoken, a hybrid interstellar spaceship, also based on the technology of the wizard civilization and shaped like the flying boat of the immortal and god civilization, glided in front of the six-person team.

The High Council of the Wizarding Civilization is a very large organization.

The department, directly under the five saints, has a large number of advisors.

The advisors conducted a very detailed analysis of what actions the three wizards from Rivosos Academy might take during this trip to the parallel universe: Forrest Diomand, Link Grand, and Iris Clark.

Based on the information gathered about the three individuals' past experiences, as well as their personalities and styles of conduct, the Supreme Council's advisors directly under the five saints prepared no fewer than eighty contingency plans.

One of the contingency plans was specifically designed to deal with Iris Clark breaking away from the six-person team.

Therefore, the Medici Level 6 Sage remained completely calm in the face of Iris Clark's attack.

Medici, the Sage, calmly led his five team members aboard the interstellar spaceship and then calmly flew out of the spaceport before ordering the spaceship to catch up with Iris Clark's private interstellar spaceship.

Soon, Iris Clark's private interplanetary spaceship, which had left the spaceport ahead of schedule, was caught up with.

Through the side window of the cockpit, Iris Clark saw the silhouette of the Supreme Council's interstellar spaceship. She turned to Dean Forrest and asked, "Dean, should we shake them off?"

"No."

Dean Forrest directly rejected Iris Clark's offer, then explained, "During our trip to this parallel universe, the Academy and the various factions of the Supreme Council maintained a certain level of understanding. As long as our Academy, especially Link, cooperates with the Supreme Council's actions, the Supreme Council will suppress any retaliatory actions taken against our Academy by Archsage Michel and his Tower of Archsage Michel."

"hehe!"

Iris Clark smiled, her expression ambiguous, but said nothing more.

The main character in the matter, Link Grand, remained silent, as if Dean Forrest wasn't referring to him at all.

Iris glared at Link, her eyes flashing fiercely for a moment.

Seeing that Link remained silent, Iris wrinkled her nose, quite displeased, but she still didn't say what was on her mind.

Different personalities, different circumstances, different choices, that's all.

There's not much to say.

"Sorry, Link, the academy owes you another one."

Dean Forrest then looked at Link and said sincerely.

"There's no such thing as owing or not owing anything."

Link smiled faintly and said magnanimously, "I am a member of the academy, and it is an honor to be able to do something for the academy."

"Yeah?"

Dean Forrest gave Link a deep look. "The academy will not let you down, I promise."

"Thank you, Dean."

Link responded with a faint sound.

And so, the six-member team from the Supreme Council, traveling in their interstellar spaceship, followed Iris Clark's private interstellar spaceship to the Rivosos Academy's outpost under Iris Clark's name.

This time, Iris Clark did not stop the six-member High Council team from following the Rivosos Academy's stronghold.

Even though, in name, this base is Iris's homebody.

However, Iris finally confirmed that there was indeed some kind of tacit understanding between the Academy, Link, and the High Council.

Everything that made her feel awkward was because Link was voluntarily cooperating with the Academy and the Supreme Council.

Link did not act under duress, but rather voluntarily.

Although Iris did not approve of Link's actions, she felt that Link's behavior was too weak.

Not long after entering the academy's stronghold, people from the Immortal God Civilization came over.

The visitor was none other than Link's acquaintance, Celestial Master Xu Jing.

With Master Xu Jing's status equivalent to a ninth-level sage in a wizarding civilization, everyone who came to the Rivosos Academy base—the six-member High Council team, Dean Forrest, Link, and Iris—came out to greet him.

"Sorry, we arrived in a bit of a rush and disturbed your rest."

Master Xu Jing was very approachable and offered a sincere apology upon meeting him.

"No, no, it doesn't bother us, it doesn't bother us."

As a seventh-level sage, Dean Forrest was the most suitable person to deal with Master Xujing, and he repeatedly declined Master Xujing's apology.

"Link Grand, it's been a long time."

After exchanging pleasantries with Dean Forrest, Master Xujing ignored the six-member team from the Supreme Council and Iris Clark, heading straight for Link.

Even following the etiquette of the wizarding civilization, they stretched out their hands from afar, intending to shake hands with Link.

"Long time no see, Celestial Master Xu Jing."

Seeing this, Link extended his hand and gave Master Xu Jing a light handshake, then brought up the old matter again, "Thank you for your help last time, which allowed me to obtain a destined world."

"Sigh, let bygones be bygones, there's no need to bring it up again."

Master Xujing waved his hand, behaving very generously.

"Then let's listen to Celestial Master Xu Jing."

Link nodded, not wanting to refuse Master Xu Jing's kindness, "Thank you, Master Xu Jing."

You're welcome, no need to be so polite.

Master Xujing continued to emphasize this point.

Dean Forrest seized the opportunity to interject: "Master Xujing, let's not talk outside, please come in."

With that, Dean Forrest led Celestial Master Xu Jing into the academy's base.

Just as Master Xu Jing was following Dean Forrest's guidance into the Rivosos Academy base, Great Sage Michelle received intelligence that Dean Forrest and Link Grand had arrived in a parallel universe.

When questioned by the management of the Tower of Sages of Michel about how to deal with Forrest Diomande and Link Grande, Sages of Michel remained silent.

This reaction undoubtedly disappointed some of the high-ranking wizards who had followed the Great Sage Michel, abandoning their families and careers to start over in a parallel universe.

However, the great sage Michel had unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

Looking at the letter before him, a warning letter sent by the High Council's West Coast Elemental Wizard Saint, Great Sage Michel was also filled with boundless rage.

Before I came to this parallel universe, your Supreme Council bullied me.

Even after arriving in the parallel universe, your Supreme Council still bullies me.

Wasn't this parallel universe a waste of time?

"Those who do not become saints will remain ants in the end."

The great sage Michel murmured softly, picked up the warning letter in front of him, placed it in his palm, and gently rubbed it between his hands.

The warning letter was crushed almost instantly.

Crushed along with it was also the High Priestess Michel's respect for the High Council and his lingering attachment to wizarding civilization.

After this ordeal, the Great Sage Michel finally made a decision to take a shortcut to sainthood in a parallel universe.

Isn't that why, after becoming a saint, one can no longer leave the parallel universe and return to the wizard civilization?

As long as they can unleash combat power comparable to the five veteran saints of the Supreme Council of the Wizarding Civilization, that will suffice.

What Sage Michelle wants now is not to return home in glory, but to establish a firm foothold in the parallel universe and to make the Supreme Council of the Wizarding Civilization unable to restrain him anymore.

Freedom became the greatest pursuit of the great sage Michel.

Freedom comes from the power one possesses.

Before taking his seat at the secret outpost of Rivosos Academy, Master Xu Jing glanced meaningfully towards the location of the Great Sage Michel's Tower.

Bustling crowds, people coming and going for profit.

The immortal civilization is indeed a wizarding civilization that seeks help from another universe.

However, the wizard civilization in another universe also needs the help of the immortal and god civilization.

The relationship between the two great civilizations in the two universes should be one of equal exchange.

However, while the Celestial Civilization opened the gates of its universe to the Wizard Civilization, the Wizard Civilization failed to promptly welcome the Celestial Civilization's advance team as stipulated, instead setting up numerous obstacles.

The wizard civilization had already established a firm foothold in its own universe before granting the request of the immortal civilization's advance team to enter.

Such unequal treatment has greatly angered the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, instigating a certain degree of internal strife within the wizarding civilization became the task assigned to Celestial Master Xu Jing by the Heavenly Court.

The reason why Master Xu Jing visited on the very day that the Rivosos Academy finally sent Link Grand to the parallel universe was because of this.

Unexpectedly, before Master Xujing had even officially begun to exert his power, he received an unexpected surprise.

Quickly regaining his composure and not letting Forrest Diomand and the others notice anything amiss, Master Xu Jing looked at Link and said directly, "Link Grand Wizard, well... let's call him that for now. I wonder if you're interested in your true origins? If you are, I can take you to investigate."

Link did not answer, but glanced at Dean Forrest and Medici, a level six sage, from the six-member team of the Supreme Council.

Link had already foreseen this scene before he came to the parallel universe.

From the moment Master Xu Jing "openly" said in front of so many people in the Supreme Council that Link's true spirit had another secret, Link was already mentally prepared for the parallel universe's immortal civilization to make a big deal out of this.

Therefore, Link sees himself as a complete tool.

Whatever the High Council of the Wizarding Civilization wants to do, whatever the Rivosos Academy wants to do, whatever the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Civilization wants to do, you can do it yourselves.

I, Link Grand, will absolutely cooperate without the slightest compromise.

All I ask for is this: to continue to grow steadily and increase my strength.

Only strength brings freedom. (End of Chapter)
