Chapter 728: Return to Arcane City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Many of Merlin’s secrets were hidden in the Spatial Ring, such as the Atlan civilization’s empire-level warship, the martial arts robots comparable to Legends, the guardian statues, the illusion bead, and so on.

Although these Arcane Wizards might not even have any regard for these things, Merlin was still very nervous.

Fortunately, after an inspection, Merlin realized that nothing was missing. Everything was untouched.

“Don’t worry. After I realized that your mind imprint didn’t disappear from your Spatial Ring, I surmised that you hadn’t died, so I didn’t touch your ring.”

Augustus’ aloof face seemed as if it would never smile. When Wizard Setoh noticed Merlin’s anxious expression, he shook his head. “These two are Wizard Augustus and Wizard Ceci. They had sensed the Lord God of Light arriving at the Glorious Land, so they hurried over. Tell us about the situation in the Glorious Land. Due to the seal, we don’t even know what it’s like in the Glorious Land.”

Merlin thought about it, and concluded that he should tell the three Arcane Wizards of the situation in the Glorious Land. Therefore, he began to explain briefly, “The situation in the Glorious Land is better now. The Church of Light has been destroyed completely, and the Lord God of Light can no longer use the Church of Light to interfere with the matters of the Glorious Land. He can’t even possibly ascertain the location of the Glorious Land.”

The Church of Light had been the Glorious Land’s greatest affliction because it was supported by the Lord God of Light. Through the Church of Light, the Lord God of Light could project some of his strength, locking firmly onto the Glorious Land.

Therefore, no matter how hidden the Glorious Land was, even if it constantly changed its position, it could not escape the scrutiny of the Lord God of Light. However, now that the Lord God of Light had lost the Church of Light and the power of faith, he was no longer able to lock onto the Glorious Land. There was no doubt that this greatly improved the safety of the Glorious Land.

Seeing that Arcane Wizard Setoh’s face had broken into a smile, Merlin continued, “After the Church of Light was annihilated, a unified empire called the Blackmoon Empire finally emerged in the Glorious Land once again. It claims to be a continuation of the Molta Empire but it’s also an empire controlled by Spell Casters. Moreover, I’ve passed on some knowledge of the Spell Caster civilization. I’m sure that the entire Glorious Land would prosper once more.”

Merlin said everything in one breath and stared at Arcane Wizard Setoh and the rest. These were the three most powerful Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization, and they were all here now.

“Not bad. The Glorious Land had fallen behind but with your actions, even if it can’t recover the glory of the Molta Empire, at least it won’t continue to decline. Merlin, you’ve done well!”

Arcane Wizard Setoh was the first to speak.

“The Lord God of Light will no longer have the chance to meddle with the origin of our Spell Caster civilization.”

Arcane Wizard Ceci nodded as well. It could be said that Merlin had removed a significant threat to the Glorious Land. For a long time, the Lord God of Light had been a great threat to the Glorious Land. The Glorious Land was the origin of the Spell Caster civilization. Any civilization would protect their origin more strictly, and the Spell Caster civilization was no exception.

However, the Church of Light was in the Glorious Land. In the past, due to the war with the Atlan civilization, they did not manage to wipe out the Church of Light completely. After they sealed the Glorious Land, not even the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards could enter hence the Church of Light gradually grew and expanded.

The Lord God of Light thus relied upon the Church of Light to begin interfering with the Glorious Land. Now, Merlin had uprooted the Church of Light at last.

Nonetheless, Merlin was targeted by the Lord God of Light because of this. His heart was still beating with lingering fear. After all, he was someone who had “died” once in front of the Lord God of Light.

“Arcane Wizard Setoh, what about the Lord God of Light? He had just slain an avatar of mine. Surely he won’t let things go just like that?

Merlin was still very worried about the Lord God of Light. After all, anyone who was scrutinized daily by a great ultimate existence would not feel safe.

“The Lord God of Light?”

Augustus’ stern face revealed a smile, and he laughed softly. “I don’t know what method you used that the Lord God of Light believed it was the real you that he had killed. However, he might soon learn of his error. Still, at least for a thousand years, you need not worry about him. Earlier, the three of us have heavily injured him. Without hibernating for a thousand years, he can forget about recovering. Therefore, he would surely return to the Light Dimension to hibernate for at least a thousand years.”

“A thousand years of hibernation?”

Merlin felt immense relief, finally able to let down his guard. A thousand years might be nothing to an ultimate existence like the Lord God of Light. It might just be the blink of an eye.

However, a thousand years was a lengthy period for Merlin. From when he first arrived in Blackwater City, all the way to where he was now, forget about a thousand years, it had not even been a hundred years. At best, it was merely a few decades.

In a few decades, he had now become an existence second only to an Honored Legend. Even in the Spell Caster civilization, he was classified as someone freakish.

“With a thousand years’ time, I won’t have to worry about being targeted by the Lord God of Light.”

Merlin eyed the three Great Arcane Wizards. It looked like the three Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization were truly formidable. When all three had joined forces, they could heavily injure the Lord God of Light. It was not surprising that even though the Void Zone had so many powerful civilizations, until now, none of them could really do anything to the Spell Caster civilization.

This was a reflection of how powerful the Spell Caster civilization was.

“Alright, the crisis of the Glorious Land has been resolved. From now on, other than the three of us, no one will know where the Glorious Land is.”

After Augustus spoke, his body flashed and he vanished without a trace.

Augustus and Ceci left one after the other. Arcane Wizard Setoh glanced at Merlin and said, “Merlin, take one last look at the Glorious Land. Perhaps you won’t be able to see it anymore.”

Arcane Wizard Setoh knew about Merlin’s real identity. He knew that Merlin came from the Glorious Land. After Merlin left this time, he would have no way of finding the Glorious Land without the permission of the three Great Arcane Wizards.

Therefore, this might be the last time Merlin could see the Glorious Land.

Merlin’s gaze turned toward the gigantic dimension below. The Glorious Land was still glistening with radiance. The Glorious Land encompassed so many moments Merlin had gone through – from the very beginning when he first encountered spells in Blackwater City, then escaping to the Kingdom of Blackmoon, entering the Dark Magic Region, and experiencing various events.

This was how the present Merlin was born!

After a long time of silent observation, Merlin turned around decisively, saying calmly, “Arcane Wizard Setoh, let’s go.”

Arcane Wizard Setoh nodded and brought Merlin along within a mystical fluctuation. It was as if they were encased in invisible energy, and they shuttled away instantly.

Merlin did not feel any Magic Power, Maxims nor any sense of space, but he was in the aforementioned process of shuttling, as if through a Spatial Passage.

He recalled Aruba’s previous explanation of ultimate existences. All ultimate existences had merged into a part of the natural order and were able to mobilize some of its power.

Although the Void Zone had no space, time nor Elements, it was covered in the power of the natural order. Ultimate existences were still under no restrictions in the Void Zone. This was the formidable power of ultimate existences.

“Perhaps this is the power of the natural order…”

Such a thought occurred to Merlin, following which he vanished without a trace along with Arcane Wizard Setoh.

Merlin finally returned to Setoh Arcane City. In the present, Setoh Arcane City was very peaceful. After going through a war with the Rock Tribe, Setoh Arcane City, as the final Arcane City to be established, received the acknowledgment of many Spell Casters at last. Obviously, those who wanted to join Setoh Arcane City on their own had grown in number.

The three great Arcane Cities were in silent competition. Before this, Setoh Arcane City had always been the weakest force. Nonetheless, after it faced the Rock Tribe and even won the war, Setoh Arcane City naturally was greeted with rapid expansion.

Thus, the current Setoh Arcane City seemed much busier than before.

Merlin made time to visit the Blackfire Lord. Back in the Glorious Land, Merlin had learned from Aruba that the Blackfire Lord and Arcane Wizard Setoh had both received pointers from Aruba.

It was just that Arcane Wizard Setoh became an Ultimate Arcane Wizard in the end while the Blackfire Lord was merely a Lord with two ultimate Maxims. This must have been more than simply an issue of talent. After all, for someone to be picked out by Aruba, would his talent be insufficient?

However, by now, Merlin had already somewhat figured out the reason. Once he returned to Arcane City, he was faced with the Blackfire Lord’s urgent inquiries about the development of his Mind Power.

Presumably, after the Blackfire Lord had become a Lord, he had focused all his efforts into cultivating Mind Power, hoping to significantly develop the Mind Power system. Therefore, he was ultimately unable to consolidate more ultimate Maxims.

After all, the energy of even the strongest genius was limited. In addition, an ultimate Maxim was not so easily attained. If one could not focus every single effort, naturally, it was difficult to obtain an ultimate Maxim.

After briefly fielding the Blackfire Lord’s questions, Merlin returned to his own room.

“Setoh Arcane City is no longer of much help to me. Following this, I should set up a force that belongs to me and control a great swathe of dimensions. Through controlling these dimensions, I’ll command the Elemental Origins and hone a Maxim. Finally, I’ll reach a point where I can create an ultimate Maxim!”

Merlin’s reasoning was clear, and his plan was reasonable too. Perhaps one or two dimensions would be useless in helping him condense an ultimate Maxim but if it were ten or even dozens of dimensions, things would be different.

Through the accumulation of infinitesimal advancements, and under the ceaseless honing of the Elemental Origins, surely his understanding of the ultimate Maxim would speed up. Finally, he would consolidate an ultimate Maxim and become an Honored Legend!

For now, this was the most effective method.

Merlin had already made up his mind and immediately stood up to walk toward the Mission Hall of Arcane City. There, he could learn of the Spell Caster civilization’s situation in various regions. This was an advantage of being a Spell Caster of Arcane City.
