The Nightmare faction suffered a devastating defeat, with many forces scattered and fleeing. The Abyss faction sees an opportunity to devour the weakened Nightmare forces rather than confront Nora and the Underworld directly. Meanwhile, the Astral World grapples with heavy losses from an insect plague and the surprising strength of Nora, suspecting Sauron's involvement. The Fire Sovereign celebrates Nora's victory, acknowledging Sauron's brilliance. The Golden Sacred Realm considers retreating to a secret dimension for ten thousand years to escape the encroaching conflicts.

With one divine being absent, the Heavenly Will's might is rendered incomplete.

This represents a significant drawback to the Path of Faith.

The Heavenly Will conveyed its appreciation:

"Many thanks, Grand Council Chairman."

Levi's gaze swept over the assembled 21 Legendary Wizards.

"Throughout this prolonged conflict, numerous individuals have sustained damage to their Spiritual Origin. The vice president of the Pharmacist Association is currently devising a Dream Returning Potion, utilizing materials sourced from Nightmare Creatures as its primary component. Your participation, should your schedule permit, would be greatly beneficial in accelerating its development."

Miss Jin Feng responded:

"Certainly. From this point forward, the field of Pharmacy must adapt to the changing times and undergo substantial reform. We shall endeavor to harness the resources available within the Nightmare World."

Legendary Alchemists, by definition, are all Legendary Wizards.

However, not every Legendary Wizard attains the status of a Legendary Alchemist.

Even Levi, lacking the dedicated time required for such studies, has not yet qualified as a Legendary Alchemist; his early proficiency in the Three Arts will necessitate revisiting in the future.

The congress's current contingent of Legendary Alchemists primarily comprises figures from the older era of legends.

Emmon possesses expertise in Weapon Refinement, yet lacks skill in Pharmacy.

The Frost Witch, despite her youth, is solely proficient in combat; her mastery of the Three Arts is merely at a functional level.

Presently, a considerable number of the old legends have been lost.

While many Legendary Wizards endure, the number of Legendary Alchemists remains scarce.

The core group consists of the Black Abyss Sovereign, the Hand of Creation, and the Lord of Northern Abyss.

Among the more recent legends to achieve advancement, the Green Forest Master shows significant promise as a future Legendary Alchemist.

During this period of strategic development and recuperation, Levi harbors hopes for the emergence of several more such figures.

The objective is to build up a greater reserve of medicinal supplies in anticipation of the impending conflict.

Turning his attention to the Lady of Thunder, Levi then stated:

"With Emperor Wanlei's absence, the Lightning School of Thought is left with you, Lady of Thunder, as its sole pillar of strength. It is imperative that we cultivate new legends with all haste. Should you encounter any obstacles, do not hesitate to inform me."

The Lady of Thunder offered her reply:

"Understood. Our school currently has several promising candidates at the ninth circle, and I shall concentrate my efforts on their development... Furthermore, do you have any insight into Emperor Wanlei's current reincarnation status?"

Levi provided his answer:

"It remains unclear at this time. She may be awaiting an opportune moment."

Currently, a widespread aspiration exists among many to reincarnate as a knight on the Ancient Dragon Continent.

The Dusk Holy Temple boasts a collection of 49 distinct Mythical Bloodlines, alongside seven Supreme Bloodlines.

While this may seem substantial, the realities of wartime diminish the inclination for procreation.

Most individuals chose to have children prior to the conflict, as a measure against extinction. Consequently, those aspiring to knightly reincarnation must defer their ambitions until a period of stability and relative peace is secured.

In these present times, achieving the status of a knight is no simple feat.

The remnants of the previous era have unexpectedly ascended to become top-tier professions.

This turn of events is something few could have ever envisioned.

Emperor Wanlei is not the only one.

The Fire Giant King, the Thousand Mountains Immortal, and the Star Sky Sword Saint still await their second lives; only the Mist Sky Guardian and the Chaotic Heaven Saint have successfully completed their reincarnations.

The former took form as the great-grandson of a Blood Knight in the year 3560 of the Nora Calendar.

It appears he harbored a fondness for the Jade Qilin Bloodline's mastery over wind.

His newly acquired title is [Wind Chasing Knight], and he is recognized as a Wind Element Child.

The latter reincarnated as the grandson of a Saint Ape Knight in the year 3570 of the Nora Calendar.

The Chaotic Heaven Saint harbors no specific preference for attributes; his sole pursuit is formidable Strength.

The [Zhu Yan] bloodline aligns perfectly with his inclinations.

His knightly title is [Chaos Knight].

In general,

These formidable beings, all operating at Level 10, do not opt for Supreme Bloodlines when undertaking reincarnation.

For any given bloodline, the supreme variant already occupies the pinnacle; to surpass it, one must instead select a Mythical Bloodline and forge their own unique path to supremacy, claiming the highest honor solely for themselves.

Given the inherent advantage of having previously achieved Level 10, unless one possesses the exceptional power of a fire dragon knight monster or harbors an unfair edge like Levi, ordinary prodigies stand little chance in this competition.

Levi also issued a reminder to the leaders of the Earth and Storm Schools of Thought.

The upcoming period demands an acceleration of development to compensate for the existing deficit in legendary figures.

Regarding the Giants,

The Fire Giant King has met his demise, the Mountain Giant King is severely injured and currently in seclusion, and the Thousand-Eyed Swordsman has risen to become the new leader. Levi extended his congratulations on the latter's advancement to Sword Dao Level 10, signifying that his chosen path is no longer a solitary one.

The Thousand-Eyed Swordsman remarked:

"It is possible the Fire Giant King will reincarnate within the Fire Dragon Knight Family. Given that the Fire Dragon Family already possesses a giant bloodline, it would be a most suitable match for him."

Levi responded:

"Indeed, the Fire Dragon Family is quite prosperous; ample opportunities for reincarnation exist within it."

Other Beast Masters, along with civilizations of the Sea Clan, have sustained losses to varying extents, yet no Level 10 individuals have perished—only injuries have been incurred, which can be considered fortunate. For lesser civilizations, the fall of a Level 10 leader could potentially mean centuries before another emerges.

Two years subsequently,

The final statistics regarding casualties and gains from the conflict were officially released.

This included individuals who succumbed later due to severe injuries or those who voluntarily chose reincarnation,

The Nora Alliance Army suffered substantial losses, with 30 Level-10 and 380 Level-9 units annihilated.

A staggering 680 official battle groups were lost entirely. Additionally, 548 New World units were obliterated, falling victim to the cunning guerrilla tactics and self-sacrificing assaults orchestrated by Nightmare and Abyss forces. The human cost was immense.

Within Nora's ranks, seven Level-10 individuals were lost, casting a pall over their forces, especially the demise of two formidable Shadow powerhouses.

The Void Holy Temple bore the brunt of the tragedy, losing five Level-30 entities, marking the most devastating outcome for them.

From the Underworld, thirteen Level-10 warriors met their end, though their fate was not final as all have been reborn as Nether Emperors.

Following their reincarnation into Nether Emperors, apart from a select few, such as the distinguished Leon,

all others are destined to remain Nether Emperors for the entirety of their existence.

This is the price exacted for the coveted gift of Eternal Life.

Such a life, where the end is visible from the very beginning, is a grim reality.

However, the fervent desire to attain the status of a Nether Emperor persists, unyielding and powerful.

In this desolate and unforgiving universe, simply being alive is a profound blessing.

Who would dare to entertain aspirations beyond mere survival?

Considering the grand scale of the conflict, Nora emerged victorious in a flawless triumph.

This victory, however, was achieved through the sacrifice of about a third of their lowest-ranking combatants.

The losses sustained by the Nightmare forces in this brutal war were more than ten times the losses incurred by Nora!

Levi, reviewing the overall situation, found himself largely content with the results of the engagement.

Yet, a sense of regret lingered.

Firstly, the Supreme, Hera, was lost and might be unavailable for future critical battles.

Secondly, Emmon had fallen into a deep slumber, and the time of his awakening remained uncertain.

Presently, these seemingly impressive statistics came at the steep cost of Hera and Emmon's contributions.

Furthermore, as the Ancient Tower Master, Levi possessed the unique ability to perceive certain hidden statistics.
