Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 678 Mother River

According to the description of the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor, the Astral Plane is no weaker than the Abyss Plane, and may even be stronger.

The Astral Plane has more progenitor-level beings than the Abyss Plane, and this time the Thousand-Eyed Progenitor only gathered two progenitors, the Skeleton King and the Spider Queen, as well as Hellagur, a progenitor who has not yet grown up.

With such a small force, Horag felt it was unrealistic to invade the Astral Plane.

If it combines most of the power of the Abyss Plane, then it's still possible.

But now, it seems that's not enough.

"What is the Well of the Stars?" Herag asked.

The Spider Queen smiled slightly, looking incredibly charming and alluring. However, neither the Skeleton King nor the Thousand-Eyed Progenitor seemed to notice her beauty; the Spider Queen's charm only worked on humanoid beings.

It seems that different races still have different aesthetic standards.

The Spider Queen said, "The Well of the Stars is an important source of power for the Star Realm. It is directly connected to the Mother River, allowing us to draw power directly from it, which is very helpful to both of us."

"Mother River..." This was another term that Helag had never encountered before.

"The Mother River is the source of all bloodlines, power, and souls in the endless planes; it is the ultimate source of all things in the endless planes. You have not yet reached the legendary level, so you have not yet unlocked the relevant inherited memories," the Spider Queen continued to explain, seeing that Hellagur did not understand.

The legendary level that the Spider Queen mentioned refers to the level of a level seven creature; after level six, one becomes a legendary being.

Level 7 Legendary, Level 8 Overlord, Level 9 Ancestor—these are the life levels after Level 6, and they are the same in every plane.

Because Herag's current bloodline power is only at the level of a level six creature, and even at the top of level six creatures, it is still level six, there are still many inheritances buried in his bloodline that have not been awakened, so he naturally has no understanding of concepts such as the Mother River.

The Spider Queen explained it to Hellagur in detail, and Hellagur got a general understanding.

The Endless Planes contain countless planes, as well as vast void areas, and are even inhabited by many void creatures that roam these void areas.

Those void creatures are also extremely powerful beings. After all, they are a race that can thrive and multiply in the void, making them far more powerful than many creatures from higher-level worlds.

The matter, life, power, and souls in these endless planes did not arise from nothing, but came from the Mother River.

The Mother River is the source of the endless planes, and everything in the endless planes flows from there.

Even the power of the blood flowing through the ancestors' veins actually originated from the Mother River, which is the ultimate source of all things in the world.

Regardless of the plane or the power system, once a level six being reaches its limit, the ability to advance to the level seven legendary level requires communication with the Mother River.

Only by successfully communicating with the Mother River and drawing power from it can one advance to level seven and become a legendary creature.

The reason why the Legends, Overlords, and Ancestors after Level 6 are so powerful and possess unimaginable strength is because they can communicate with the Mother River and have power directly from it.

This is something that life forms below level seven cannot match, and it is also a fundamental difference.

However, communicating with the Mother River is not so easy; otherwise, so many mid-level worlds would not be unable to advance to high-level worlds. No matter how many Plane Chosen are cultivated, reaching this point is extremely difficult, with a very low probability.

Without guidance from predecessors, no matter the circumstances, it is almost impossible to reach the point of connecting with the Mother River on one's own, unless one obtains information and assistance from elsewhere.

The same was true for Herag; in the wizarding power system he received, there was no information on how to advance to the seventh level of wizarding.

Throughout the entire Wizarding World, only Andres has ever reached the level of a seventh-level wizard. There has been no other one, at least not on the surface.

For Herag, the most direct and effective way at present is still to advance to the seventh level of legend by using the power of the Thunder God's bloodline.

Once you reach the seventh-level legendary level, you are essentially using the Mother River for cultivation.

Once you arrive here, all the power systems in the endless planes converge on the same point: the Mother River system.

For beings of the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor's level, the more power they can obtain from the Mother River, the stronger they become.

Therefore, things like the Well of the Stars are very important and crucial to them.

The Astral Well is directly connected to the Mother River, and one can draw power directly from it.

For the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor and others, this was an absolute treasure.

The Protoss and Titans of the Astral Plane are so powerful largely because of the existence of the Well of the Astral Plane.

For Hellagur, the Well of the Stars is equally crucial.

Herag is currently at the fifth level of wizardry and is still cultivating his soul power and condensing his true spirit.

If he could draw a trace of Mother River power from the Well of Stars, he could directly condense his true spirit, without needing to slowly cultivate his soul power anymore.

This is also because his own bloodline is strong enough to absorb the power of the mother river at this stage, which is why he was able to do this.

However, if other creatures do not reach the legendary level, they would be courting death if they rashly absorbed the power of the Mother River. They would be directly assimilated by the power of the Mother River, return to the Mother River, and become a wave splashed in the Mother River.

Of course, strictly speaking, it is not death, but simply the return of one's life form to its essence.

However, for a specific individual, it can be considered a kind of death, at least in this life it is over.

Once Herag can condense his true spirit, he can strengthen his soul to the strength it should be at this level, and then he can unlock the sealed power of the Thunder God's bloodline and break through to become a level seven legendary creature.

Therefore, for Hellagur, obtaining the Astral Well would save him countless years of effort.

Even if he didn't obtain the Astral Well, drawing just a trace of the Mother River's power from it would be enough for him.

This is also why the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor specially invited Hellagur; he knew that Hellagur was currently using some means to strengthen his soul power.

The Astral Well would be very helpful to Hellagur, so I specifically wanted to give him a hand.

After learning all this, Herag finally understood the cause and effect. He thought for a moment and said, "But I haven't fully recovered yet, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

"You don't need to intervene. We are all progenitors of the Abyss Plane, so naturally we should help each other. You can just follow us when the time comes. The level of combat in the Astral Plane is extremely high, and you can't participate in it now," the Spider Queen said.
