Prospects for the Next Sandbox Era

Xu Zhi took the Watering Can, sending them off with a blood rain from the sky, plucked flowers, and placed them on the flower tombstone. Afterward, the music continued to play on his phone beside the sandbox, but he silently returned to his chair.

He picked up his lunchbox again, eating mouthful by mouthful, and murmured, "You opened up the path of cultivation for me, allowing me to cultivate successfully. The prototype of Alchemy appeared, giving me hope for treating cancer. The era of you Three Witches has given me too many surprises. These three miracles, appearing as my lifespan nears its end, can be considered a farewell to you Three Witches."

Rumbling! Accompanied by golden beams of light pouring down through the heavy clouds, a torrential rain of crimson descended.

Upon the earth, people looked up to the sky.

"At the death of the Three Witches, as heroes in their twilight years, the gods in the sky sent them off. A torrential blood rain fell, a flower tombstone appeared, and the Elegy of Fate was played. Three great miracles descended upon the Babylon Kingdom. What great achievements the Three Witches must have accomplished to be acknowledged by Hermes, the God of Wisdom in the sky!"

Their eyes filled with tears, and they frantically praised the great God of Wisdom, Hermes.

"This is an elegy, but also a paean!"

The people of the Babylon Kingdom loudly praised, listening to the song that pierced the sky.

The music resounded through heaven and earth, and it seemed to touch something deep within their hearts. The hairs on their bodies stood on end, and their bodies trembled with excitement. It was as if they heard, from this distant, ancient, and stirring divine song, the struggle against fate, the fight against nature, the battles with beasts, and the resistance against the years. In a daze, they recalled their history of struggling to rise.

They saw Gilgamesh, the handsome hero-king like a Nordic God, roaring at all the giant beasts in the world, raising the Damocles Sword high:

"The history of mankind's struggle against nature is a history of courage and paeans!!"

"I have people compile history to leave to future generations, so that they may understand the courage of their ancestors in fighting against nature!!"

After the scene blurred, the Three Witches of that time seemed to appear before their eyes, along with the mountain of corpses and sea of blood of many women who had consumed the Evil Eye blood. They heard the Elegy of Fate of their struggle against the giant beasts, the three of them surrounding and holding high the fiercely burning Torch:

"Death! Cannot crush our arms! Destroy our spines!!"

In the Babylon Kingdom, countless merchants, artisans, old people, nobles, and mysterious Witches holding wooden staffs seemed to have their eyes moistened with tears, silently weeping.

We ah... Our lifetime of struggle... This is our era.

This song is a paean to the courage of mankind's struggle against fate.

"Great God of Wisdom, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for our kings."

The old people of the Babylon Kingdom knew best the difficult years of the past, that backward civilization of slash-and-burn agriculture. Their trembling, aging bodies slowly prostrated on the ground, tears streaming down their faces.

Before the temple.

"Enough, it's already enough... blood rain from the sky, a flower tombstone, a musical paean."

Medea revealed a satisfied smile, her face as radiant as a flower.

She exchanged a glance with Cassandra beside her, smiling very contentedly. The two held hands, looked at each other in front of Hermes' Temple of Wisdom, slowly closed their eyes, spread their arms, and their weak bodies gradually fell backward.

Boom! Two slender and straight beautiful figures... fell into the blood rain that filled the sky, before the huge flower tombstone,

Fell into the Elegy of Fate that resounded through heaven and earth.

This scene was beautifully engraved in brilliant legends, branded on stone walls, and painted into eternity.

"The kings have fallen."

In the next second, cries of mourning resounded through heaven and earth, and the whole world wept.

The Babylon Kingdom had lost two peerless and invincible legendary Witches.

The era of the Three Witches, which had suppressed the world for more than two hundred years and sheltered the entire Western Human Tribe, was over. How Babylon would survive in the days to come, no one knew.

In later generations, the Spear of Flourishing Witchcraft recorded this historically mournful moment: [In the 198th year of Babylon, the great Three Witches, nearing the end of their lifespans, prayed to Hermes, the God of Wisdom, before the temple. The god sighed for them, sending down fragrant blood rain, a flower tombstone, and celestial laments to see them off.]

Deep within the Balchik Mountain Range.

Circe watched in shock at the vast three great miracles descending from the sky, the national mourning, and revealed a shocked smile, "You two, the gods in the sky are seeing you off, what an honor this is. But you still ended up leaving faster than me. I am still a bit stronger than the two of you. You are willing to die, but I am not."

Even though she was stronger than the two great Witches, she was not much stronger, and she was also about to die soon. She sat on her throne, looking at the group of evil Witches serving her before her,

"I say! My death will not be the end of life! After I die in this life, you will move forward for me, so that I can return again in hundreds of years and live a second life."

She also fell into the coffin, silently closing her eyes.

Inside the black, mysterious, and evil palace, the walls were full of blood, painted with evil tentacle Evil Eye Demon Monsters. This place seemed like a terrifying and bizarre hellish cave. Countless evil Witches, holding scarlet canes and wearing bright Rose Wizard Robes, knelt and sang in mourning: "When our king returns, she will rule the world and obtain true eternal life."

Xu Zhi sat in the yard eating, played the song for a while, and then turned off his phone.

The flowers were plucked, and that was that. After all, using flowers as tombstones was also considered environmentally friendly.

The Watering Can, which had been used to create the blood rain by pouring in rose essential oil, had only sprayed for a while and rained for a short time, leaving a lot behind. He also silently poured the remaining liquid into the toilet.

This water isn't suitable for watering flowers.

"I didn't expect that after cultivating the path of the Witch yesterday, this early morning, I would be seeing off the Three Witches, the mentors who pioneered this path."

Xu Zhi finished his breakfast, washed the dishes, and then went out to return the lunchbox to Chen Xi next door.

He paused for a moment, looking at the miniature sandbox.

"However, with the Three Witches gone, there isn't an invincible ruler suppressing an era within the vast sandbox world. It's the perfect time for me to research and introduce new extraordinary species."

Xu Zhi muttered to himself, adding, "This is the best opportunity!"

Having an invincible ruler suppressing the world is not good; other extraordinary species cannot thrive.

When the Three Witches were in power, the Evil Eyes were always huddled in the swampy mud, being kept in captivity. They were killed for their Evil Eye blood, which was used in continuous death rituals to create new Witches.

The Evil Eyes had a miserable existence! They had become blood-providing packages! Now that the Three Witches are dead, they should have a better time.

According to their realm divisions, there are Apprentice Wizard, First Grade Wizard, Second Grade Wizard, while the Three Witches belonged to Sixth Grade Wizard, terrifying to the extreme. As for the path after Sixth Grade Wizard, they had not yet pioneered it before reaching the end of their lifespan.

And the newly appointed Lilith is only a Fourth Grade Wizard, which is already their strongest existence.

There's no helping it; times create heroes. Some monsters are born in times of chaos. The Three Witches' aptitude was too terrifying, far surpassing everyone else. Otherwise, how could they, with the power of three people, have pioneered an entire cultivation path?

"It's a good opportunity to introduce other species, can't let one family dominate anymore."

Xu Zhi, this not-so-dead-fish Apprentice Wizard, silently watched the sandbox. "This morning, the Second Beta Test of the Land of the Origin of Life has begun. I hope you guys take the opportunity to get some good stuff to enrich the species and let me secretly stuff it into this transitional era."

After all, the Sumerian era and the Babylon era are basically the history of tribal people fighting against nature, struggling in the beginning, which is too monotonous.

For them, countless darkness has been endured, and they are about to "clear the level." They are about to officially rise up, and their extraordinary power cultivation system, Witchcraft, has begun to become popular.

After all, giant beasts are just ordinary giant beasts, similar to the giant beasts of the Tyrannosaurus Rex era. Their size is large, but they can no longer pose a threat to them.

"It's time to enrich the sandbox's ecological world and put them into 'hard mode'."

Xu Zhi's idea is simple: in the next era, as the mastermind behind the scenes, he will secretly promote the evolution of the world's civilization and completely forge a mysterious extraordinary sandbox world, with various strange species and extraordinary terrifying creatures from Western mythology emerging, instead of just one Evil Eye similar to the Cthulhu Mythos.

Mystery, strangeness, bloodiness, unknown, death.

This is the wizarding world he wants, the great wizards who seek truth, holding wooden staffs.

"Just thinking about it is exciting."

Xu Zhi's cancer won't last long. It's time for Alchemy, potion-making, and a brilliant wizarding civilization to emerge completely, helping him research a cure for cancer.

"It depends on what kind of extraordinary species the Land of the Origin of Life sandbox players in the Second Beta Test will evolve for me now. They will determine the ecosystem and the level of extraordinary power in the next sandbox world era."
