I'm not just human!

Xia Fa vaguely realized that 30,000 years ago, or more precisely 30,012 years ago, something extremely secretive yet extremely important must have happened that was enough to affect the entire universe and the Protoss Realm.

Moreover, this also raises serious questions about the nine great gods who suddenly appeared 30,000 years ago. Clearly, they have lived for far more than 30,000 years.

Just then, the old magician raised his wand again, piously turned to the sky, and began to chant once more.

With a "whoosh," a huge circular magic circle unfolded beneath his feet, filled with intersecting and spreading magical patterns.

Unlike the rituals and magic circles commonly used in the extraordinary world, this magic circle also appeared so pure and sacred, just like the difference between extraordinary power and magic.

An ancient and solemn chant rose from the old magician's throat, like a timeless bell tolling across endless time.

"You are the master of the night."

"You are the god of the earth."

"God of Night, grant me power!"

"It allows the creatures of this land to enjoy the peace of the night!"

As he chanted this line, Xia Fa keenly sensed a faint, almost divine, fluctuation emanating from the surrounding air, which converged towards the old magician.

Tefaro's thoughts were abruptly interrupted, and he abruptly raised his head to look at the old magician's back.

This aura of "divinity" is so vast and pure, completely different from those gods and external gods who are prone to losing control!

Since neither Shafa nor Tefaro had ever met the Nine Gods, they could not be compared to them.

However, when Xia Fa compared himself to the young miner and Levimir, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

As expected, although the nine righteous gods were powerful enough to destroy most of the universe with a mere gesture... they still needed an anchor. Compared with this vast and pure divine aura, they still bore the marks of madness and loss of control.

The old magician's wand was now filled with black light, yet faintly crackled with lightning. He called out the name of the spell once more in an extremely solemn voice.

"Black Light Cage Technique!"

Like a drop of ink falling between the sky and the wheat field, a vast expanse of dark light spread out, bringing a night-like tranquility and peace to the wheat field.

Shafa and Tefaro once again felt that pure and holy magical aura, devoid of any trace of out-of-control madness.

But at that moment, the magician raised his wand once more, and lightning suddenly shone brightly on it.

"Lightning Punishment Purification Technique!"

Rumble!

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion resounded across the clear sky, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck straight towards the location of Xia Fa and Te Faro!

The lightning contained an aura of destruction, yet also carried a power to purify impurities.

The old magician had his back to the two of them, yet he suddenly launched an attack, which caught both Xia Fa and Te Faro off guard.

More importantly, how did he discover it?

However, the lightning was nothing to worry about. With a casual wave of his hand, Tefalo caused starlight to emanate from the lightning, which was then directly teleported to the old mage's head.

With a crack, the old magician's beard bristled and smoke billowed from his head as he was struck, before he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Xiafa and Tefaro, in perfect unison, stepped forward at the same time.

The residents around the two looked pale with fright, many with lingering fear, their hands pressed to their chests, seemingly praying for their survival.

After all, given the power of that lightning, if Tefalo hadn't intervened and had let it strike, hundreds of residents in the surrounding area would have been harmed.

Immediately, the residents looked at the backs of Tefaro and Shafa and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Are these two filthy people again?"

"Thank goodness... These mages go crazy every time they see a corrupted being, they just start casting spells without thinking. Luckily, this corrupted being is quite powerful."

"Yes, my second uncle and nephew died last time from a mage's Flame Eagle spell used to ambush the corrupted. Sigh..."

Although the residents tried their best to keep their voices down, Xia Fa and Te Faro's spiritual intuition still allowed them to hear.

The filthy?

Both Shafa and Tefaro found the name quite strange.

Moreover, although the residents called them the filthy ones, they didn't seem to have any ill feelings towards them.

On the contrary, the residents held these magicians in awe and a sense of disgust towards them, who were prone to harming civilians.

At this moment, Tefaro had already walked up to the fallen old mage, half-squatting down, his tone calm yet threatening:

"Speak up, why did you attack us for no reason?"

The old sorcerer, nearly killed by his own spell, now gritted his teeth, his eyes wide with hatred as he glared at the two, his eyes bloodshot with madness.

"Kill me all you want, you depraved and filthy beings! Archmage Wizri will not let you go!"

Grand Master Wizreel?

Xia Fa narrowed his eyes slightly. Assuming this old magician wasn't a fool, he should be able to realize just how powerful Tefaro was.

However, he seemed quite certain that this Archmage Wizreel could defeat Tefal.

"How to say?"

Tefaro looked up, seeking Xia Fa's opinion.

Xia Fa neither confirmed nor denied:

"For a mage who harms civilians at will, just extract their soul and read their memories."

As the residents said, if Tefalo hadn't intervened to move the lightning bolt, hundreds of townspeople would probably be dead or injured by now.

Coupled with the magician's sneak attack, the two of them had no intention of showing any mercy.

"Row."

Without the slightest hesitation, Tefaro pressed one hand down on the old magician's head.

The old magician immediately showed an expression of extreme pain, his eyes almost bursting out of their sockets, as if his eyeballs were about to bulge out.

Suddenly, his body went limp, his neck tilted to the side, and he stopped breathing.

Tefaro stood up, his expression grave:

"Beyond these mountains lie two colossal cities, surrounded by hundreds of small villages and towns, each under the jurisdiction of one of these cities, but..."

Seeing His expression of utter despair, Xia Fa couldn't help but say:

"But what?"

Tefaro shook his head:

"These two giant cities are named Mych City and Arcane City. As you can tell from their names, Mych City is full of extraordinary beings like us, who are also called 'the corrupted' by mages. As for Arcane City, it is full of such mages."

He paused, took a deep breath, and slowly said:

"The leader of Arcane City is Archmage Wizreel, and the leader of Mych City is a powerful supernatural being known as the 'Guardian Lord,' and these two..."

"...They all possess the strength of a transcendent monarch."

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback, suddenly realizing that things seemed to have gotten out of hand.

This place where time stands still has very deep water...

"What about these villages and towns?"

Xia Fa countered with a question, his meaning clear: since the leaders of these two great cities were both extraordinary monarchs or beings of equal strength, why was it necessary for a so-called strong old mage to come and cast spells to care for these wheat fields?

Why not just have Grand Mage Wizreel cast a world-changing spell?

The extraordinary lord... already possesses the ability to destroy planets, so changing the day-night cycle here would be incredibly easy for him.

Tefaro shook his head:

"In the cities of Mystic and Arcane, there are actually no more than ten people whose strength has truly reached the level of demigod or above."

"Moreover, both Archmage Wizreel and the Lord of the Guardians are constantly monitoring the other side's powerful figures. If they dare to show their faces, they will be mercilessly intercepted and killed."

"Even Archmage Wizreel and the Guardian Lord themselves are restraining each other, or rather, protecting their respective cities."

Xia Fa nodded thoughtfully, understanding.

Without a doubt, in the face of two extraordinary monarchs, a giant city is nothing at all and can be destroyed with a wave of the hand.

In this situation, if Archmage Wizreel and the Lord of the Guardians were to leave the Great City even slightly, giving the other side an opportunity, the consequences would be devastating.

On the other hand, both giant cities need to develop and require food and various daily necessities. Therefore, it is estimated that the two have tacitly agreed to send their weaker superhumans or mages out of the city to help the villages and towns within their respective jurisdictions.

"This village is conveniently located at the border between the territories of Mych City and Arcane City."

Tefaro smiled. After reading the old magician's memories, it goes without saying that he and Shafa tacitly agreed to be on the side of Mychi City.

Therefore, it would be acceptable to bring this village and town under the jurisdiction of Mitchell.

Thinking this, Tefaro turned his head and looked at the somewhat frightened residents.

"Everyone, don't be afraid. I mean you no harm. In fact, I'm here to help you."

As Tefaro spoke, he pushed the scimitar slung at his waist with his thumb.

With a "snap," the scimitar was only extended half an inch before the dense, almost viscous starlight immediately spread out, instantly covering the village and all the surrounding wheat fields.

The starlight rippled like a galaxy, and the sky instantly darkened, plunging into a tranquil night.

"From now on, for the next hundred years, you will all be able to enjoy day and night as normally as recorded in history books. And this is just a gift I am giving to you on behalf of the city of Michi."

This is the power of an extraordinary monarch. If it weren't for the potential dangers of the upcoming journey, Tefal could have used all his strength to keep this starlight covering the area for over a thousand years!

The residents looked at the suddenly darkened sky and the tranquil yet dazzling starlight, their expressions filled with awe as if they had witnessed a miracle.

Immediately afterwards, with tears in their eyes, they all knelt down in front of where Tefaro and Shafa were.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thanks to your help this time, we are no longer afraid of the wheat drying out or the seedlings dying from the sun!"

"I'm willing to become a part of the City of Mychi!"

"I'd love to!"

"Finally, I can get a good night's sleep..."

"Yes, even if those magicians come, I will fight to the death!"

Many residents also came out of their houses at this moment, looking up at the sky in astonishment, clearly realizing that it had suddenly gotten dark inside.
