Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3126: 643: Slaughtering into the Astral World

Year 3745 of the Nora Calendar.

Beyond the Pan-Plane’s expanse.

Within a world that was distant and primitive.

Tens of thousands from tribal communities gathered, their voices raised in song and dance around a colossal tree, a thousand feet tall, offering cattle and sheep in reverence.

The immense tree swayed, exuding a sacred and otherworldly aura.

Within the heart of the giant tree, a consciousness stirred.

"The original vessel has perished?"

"This Chaos Emperor possesses some unique abilities."

The adage speaks of a cunning rabbit having three burrows, a wise precaution.

This ancient entity, Golden Will, found delight in creating duplicates. It would gather saplings of Exotic Woods and, utilizing the divine tree’s power, impress its own mark upon them.

Thus, 666 divine tree avatars were established across the Multidimensional Plane.

These avatars predominantly grew in seclusion, concealed within primeval forests, the territories of barbaric tribes, or the subterranean depths. They served as the totemic deities for lesser civilizations, basking in their worship.

This broad strategy ensured a higher probability of survival.

Should the primary form meet its end, a duplicate would awaken, absorb the original’s memories via the Divine Tree Power, and then enter a quiescent state, awaiting the opportune moment to re-emerge.

Consequently, eradicating such beings proved exceedingly challenging.

"Hmph, my existence spans eons; even the Nora Civilization might not endure as long as I. Witness this: if not ten thousand years, then a hundred thousand, or perhaps a million years...

Nora will undoubtedly face retribution for this betrayal!"

With this solemn vow, it resumed its slumber.

Until the fervent calls of the tribespeople disturbed its rest.

High in the heavens, a vortex of pure white light began to spin, churning the winds and clouds of the world.

"A Miracle!"

"This is truly a miracle!"

An uncountable throng exclaimed, prostrating themselves in deep reverence.

In their awe, they completely overlooked the presence of their formerly revered totemic giant tree.

This withered relic had only demonstrated its supposed divinity once in the span of millennia, bringing forth rain to break a severe drought. Most of the time, it remained unresponsive to the prayers of its devoted followers.

It wasn’t a matter of choice; the tree simply lacked the necessary power.

It was merely a level-6 entity, incapable of frequently wielding divine might.

Thus, these individuals, blindly devoted, witnessed a greater marvel,

And promptly abandoned their old faith.

A sense of foreboding washed over the giant tree.

"At a distance of billions of miles from the Golden Sacred Realm, even a Supreme Expert would struggle to locate me, like finding a needle in a vast haystack... This must be a passing expert."

A figure of striking handsomeness materialized, clad in robes of pristine white wizardry.

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, radiating an aura of vitality and spirit.

It was none other than the Chaos Emperor, Levi!

"Unacceptable!"

The giant tree could only watch in profound helplessness as Levi traversed the Void, positioning himself directly overhead.

Levi cast his gaze upon the primitive inhabitants surrounding the tree.

"Ha, secretly nurturing a path of faith in this remote locale, you possess a certain ingenuity."

He was aware that the ancient entity, Golden Will, would not succumb easily. Thus, he employed his Deep Red Eyes to trace the residual primal Qi emanating from the tree’s roots.

Indeed, his pursuit led him directly to this location.

"Verily, an Exotic Wood aged several tens of thousands of years; it shall serve adequately as firewood."

Levi declared with a smile, extending his right hand and making a grasping motion through the Void, effortlessly uprooting the colossal tree.

"No———"

A desperate, hoarse cry erupted as the giant tree began to implore for mercy.

A surge of Chaotic Power flowed forth, annihilating its nascent consciousness.

Levi harbored no intention of extinguishing its life; rather, his objective was to eradicate the lingering imprint of Golden Will.

To utilize such a living entity for a wizard’s tower would represent a significant waste. In this advanced era of civilization, wizard towers were constructed using composite materials derived from sophisticated biological material technology.

A verdant landscape is far more valuable than mountains of gold and silver.

To have endured for tens of thousands of years was no small feat.

Having resolved this particular matter, Levi proceeded to his next destination.

Years later, in the year 3760 of the Nora Calendar.

After uprooting a total of 66 giant trees scattered across the Multidimensional Plane, he decided to cease his pursuit.

"That old relic, by creating such a multitude of duplicates, has utterly exhausted me... Never mind, I cannot afford to squander more time. These duplications will not mature rapidly within a short period. I shall set them aside for the moment and hasten back to Nora to oversee the prevailing situation. Once the major affairs are concluded, I will then proceed to uproot them individually."

...

The Astral World.

The demise of Golden Will caused scarcely a ripple throughout the cosmos.

The Star Ancestor issued a decree, commanding the Heavenly Father to unify all viable forces in preparation for an assault against the Taya Insect Race.

Subsequently, the Lord of Storms recalled the inhabitants of the Golden Sacred Realm.

Upon arriving at the Sacred Realm’s original location, they discovered it to be utterly deserted.

Following this, a Subordinate God conducted an extensive search, but ultimately with no success.

The astral world ceased its efforts, redirecting all focus towards the impending conflict with the enemy.

Given the vast scale of the war, the Golden Sacred Realm, in its entirety, had become insignificant.

...

Year 3766 of the Nora Calendar.

The Chaos Emperor made his triumphant return to his cherished Nora.

By this juncture, nearly two centuries had elapsed since Nightmare’s decisive defeat.

The extended period of recuperation had enabled Nora to regain its former strength and reach its pinnacle.

The entirety of its civilization was now poised for war, prepared for a grand expedition!

...

Four years hence.

Upon the Sauron Continent, a magnificent swordsman clad in resplendent golden armor made his descent. He resembled the Lion King, adorned with golden fur and encircled by shimmering, enigmatic secret brands.

"Hahaha, I have successfully blazed a trail onto the level-10 path!"

The Lion Emperor erupted in laughter, and Kane offered his felicitations: "Teacher, this achievement is truly monumental."

"Pioneering a level-10 path is a far more formidable feat than merely attaining level-10. Teacher, you are destined to become a distinguished figure in Nora, carving out your own illustrious academy. Hahaha, the Ancestor of Secret Mark Warriors!"

Kane, now inhabiting the form of Fred's reincarnation, had also ascended to the rank of a level-9 expert.

He had faithfully served the Lion Emperor for many years.

The provisions of the Supreme Council were clear.

Any individual who established a transcendent system recognized by the congress, according to the "Originality Transcendent Path Recognition Standard Rules," would be granted the esteemed status of an Ancestor of the Path.

The Lion Emperor declared:

"I hold no desire for such accolades... My sole aim is the supreme treasure reward from the congress. We are on the cusp of embarking on the Nightmare conquest; thus, we must hasten to bolster our Strength."

In the year 3770 of the Nora Calendar.

Lion Emperor Solomon was formally inducted into the Supreme Council, bestowed with the prestigious title of "Ancestor of Secret Mark Warriors." As a reward, he received the blueprints and all necessary materials for the supreme treasure, the [Lion Heart Holy Sword].

Furthermore, the Lion Emperor was granted the privilege to utilize a congress voucher to visit the renowned Master Bao Long for a complimentary, custom-made supreme treasure. The Supreme Council and this celebrated Artisan God had previously established a long-term cooperation agreement.
