Wizard: Stronger through Marriage Chapter 908 - 409: Inheritance of the Elemental God (Part 2)

During this endeavor, Lingnai had to vigilantly observe the shifting air currents, continuously fine-tuning her guidance to ensure their peaceful coexistence.

Yet, this undertaking proved significantly more arduous than initially conceived.

The inherent conflict and turbulence between the air currents subjected Lingnai to immense strain, akin to a desperate battle against an unseen adversary.

At times, a potent gust would lash out unexpectedly, reducing all of Lingnai’s prior efforts to nothingness;

other times, the clash of several currents would erupt in violent explosions, compelling Lingnai to swiftly evade.

However, regardless of the obstacles presented, Lingnai’s resolve never faltered.

Her unwavering belief in her objective fueled her constant attempts, adjustments, and relentless pursuit.

As moments ticked by, a fine sheen of perspiration dotted Lingnai’s forehead.

Despite this, her gaze remained resolute and bright, untouched by any sign of faltering.

Finally, after innumerable trials and setbacks, Lingnai sensed a novel, potent force awakening within her.

She snapped her eyes open, perceiving the surrounding air currents now harmoniously responding to her command.

They began to intertwine and merge, coalescing into a formidable and stable storm force.

This surge of power left Lingnai in a state of profound shock and elation.

It felt as though she had become one with this energy, able to perceive its every beat and transformation.

She realized she had successfully grasped the harmonious convergence of the myriad air currents, the very key to navigating the Hurricane Corridor.

Lingnai drew a deep breath, channeling this tempestuous energy into the palm of her hand.

Then, with unwavering determination, she advanced, plunging boldly into the heart of the Hurricane Corridor.

Here, the hurricane raged with greater ferocity, yet Lingnai, leveraging her command over the storm force, moved through the passage with effortless grace.

She appeared as a captivating spectacle, elegantly dancing within the tempest.

Following a period of strenuous passage, Lingnai finally emerged at the corridor’s distant end.

Before her lay a colossal Eye of the Storm.

This represented the corridor’s nucleus, the very origin point of the converging currents.

The Eye of the Storm radiated an intense luminescence, resembling a void that consumed all in its path.

Yet, Lingnai felt no apprehension, no hesitation; she clenched her fists, concentrating the storm force within her to its absolute limit.

With that, Lingnai ascended, much like a blazing meteor hurtling towards the Eye of the Storm.

As she drew near, she unleashed powerful blows, releasing the storm force that coursed through her.

Instantly, a mighty storm force clashed against the Eye of the Storm, as if intent on its complete annihilation.

The Eye of the Storm shuddered violently beneath the onslaught of the storm force, its emitted light flickering erratically.

However, Lingnai maintained her focus, relentlessly striking, continuously infusing streams of storm force into the Eye of the Storm.

At length, with a tremendous roar, the Eye of the Storm began to fracture, dissolving into gentle air currents that drifted idly.

As the Eye of the Storm dissipated, the Hurricane Corridor itself grew calm.

The once unrestrained hurricanes seemed to lose their potency, gradually fading into nothingness.

Lingnai stood at the corridor’s conclusion, observing the serene panorama, her heart swelling with pride and accomplishment.

She had successfully conquered the Hurricane Corridor, harnessing the power of the air currents’ harmonious resonance.

Nonetheless, Lingnai understood that while this trial had concluded, her life’s journey was far from over.

...

Just as Fire Dance, Shuili, Hill, and Lingnai each neared their breaking points in the trial, pushing past their self-imposed limits, a deep, resonant chime echoed through the heavens.

This sound was profound and solemn, as if echoing from antiquity, transcending the boundaries of time and space, inextricably linking the hearts and souls of the four witches.

Concurrently, a brilliant radiance emanated from the Obelisk, akin to the dawn’s first light, exuding warmth and unwavering hope.

Within this effulgence, a celestial figure slowly materialized, adorned in flowing robes, possessing a countenance of solemn dignity and eyes alight with profound wisdom—the Elemental God.

The four witches gazed in astonishment at this sudden apparition, never having anticipated witnessing the legendary Elemental God firsthand at the trial’s culmination.

The voice of the Elemental God resonated in their ears, simultaneously ancient and youthful, imbued with the echoes of ages and the vibrant pulse of existence.

"Worthy Trial Takers, welcome to the Hall of the Heart of Elements. I am the Elemental God, and I also serve as the Guardian of the Four Great Elements for this world."

Fire Dance, Shuili, Hill, and Lingnai exchanged significant glances, their hearts brimming with reverence and intrigue.

What lay ahead remained an enigma to them.

The Elemental God went on, "The trials you have endured were not merely tests of your individual skills but also intense challenges to your teamwork and willpower. I am pleased that you have completed these trials, demonstrating exceptional courage and wisdom."

Shifting the subject, the Elemental God revealed, "What you perceive as an inheritance is not as glorious as you imagine. In truth, this so-called inheritance is the prison for my Divine Format."

These words left the four witches in a state of shock and dismay.

They had never conceived that the inheritance they had relentlessly pursued would turn out to be such a grim reality.

With a sigh, the Elemental God elaborated, "A very long time ago, I engaged in a brutal battle against the Dark Forces. To shield this world from the Dark Devouring, I surrendered my freedom, sealing my Divine Format within this Obelisk. My power then dispersed into the Four Major Elements, scattered across the vastness of this world."

"As time passed, people gradually forgot this history, leaving only the legends of the inheritance. You were then entrusted with the sacred mission of seeking and inheriting this power." The Elemental God’s voice was tinged with a profound sense of helplessness and sorrow. "However, what you remain unaware of is that this inheritance acts as a heavy shackle, binding my power and confining me to this Obelisk."

The four witches listened in silence, their hearts overwhelmed with a maelström of emotions.

They felt a mixture of sympathy and admiration for the Elemental God, coupled with confusion and bewilderment regarding their own appointed mission.

At this juncture, the Elemental God spoke once more, "You shall now become the Guardians of this world, shouldering the vital responsibility of protecting it from the incursions of the Dark Forces."

Fire Dance, Shuili, Hill, and Lingnai exchanged glances.

Irrespective of the path they chose, it was destined to be a journey fraught with challenges and the vast unknown.

Yet, they held a firm conviction that united in heart and purpose, nothing could impede their forward momentum.

After a period of profound reflection, the four witches finally arrived at their decision.

"Elemental God," Fire Dance articulated first, "we accept this inheritance and willingly embrace the role of Guardians for this world."

Shuili, Hill, and Lingnai echoed their agreement with resolute nods.

They understood that this choice entailed assuming even greater responsibilities.

Nevertheless, they were confident that by clinging to their faith and courage, they could surmount any obstacle.

The Elemental God gazed upon them, their eyes radiating a comforting luminescence.

"Brave Trial Takers, your decision deeply moves me. I bestow upon you my blessing and power."

With these words, the Elemental God extended a palm, gently touching the surface of the Obelisk.

Instantly, the Obelisk erupted in a blinding radiance, and the might of the Four Major Elements surged forth, flowing like a torrent into the very beings of the four witches.

Fire Dance felt her Flame Power intensify, burning hotter and stronger;

Shuili's liquid form manifested increased resilience and fluidity;

Hill could sense the very pulse and formidable power of the Earth;

And Lingnai gained mastery over more intricate techniques of Wind Element manipulation.

Simultaneously, a mysterious energy coursed through them, the tangible blessing and divine protection bestowed by the Elemental God.
