"Which two methods?" Saine asked hastily.

"The first thing is to remove the Wizard World's hostility and restrictions on Black Magician at the level of rules, so that you can be together forever."

"Secondly, all the major Holy Tower and Knights' Hall should lift the warrants for her arrest," Bai Xing said.

"You don't need to consider the first method. It's absolutely beyond your control. Even those True Spirit Dominator would have a hard time doing it."

"The second method is also very difficult, but there is a certain chance of it being successful."

"In the history of the Wizard World, there have been instances where Black Magician have been removed from the wanted list."

"But without exception, they all made tremendous contributions to the development of Wizard Civilization."

"As a result, the various True Spirit Tower and Overlord Hall issued announcements lifting the warrants for their arrest and acknowledging their contributions to the Wizard World."

"Perhaps you can try to find a way along this path," Bai Xing said.

Bai Xing was able to say so much mostly because of her sister.

Although Bixi looked completely bewildered and had no idea what Saine and the others were talking about.

Bai Xing herself did not believe that Saine was capable of resolving Lina's identity issue.

Their current strength is too low to be valued by the major True Spirit Tower and the Overlord Hall.

Rather than two solutions, it was more like a casual remark of comfort from Bai Xing.

Even Bai Xing couldn't do this. It seems that if Saine and Lina want to meet again in the future, they will really have to use the method that Lina came up with during the Knight Continent Trial.

Lina's foresight and wisdom are commendable; she believes in herself more than others.

Although he had prepared for the worst, Saine sighed deeply when he heard that even Bai Xing was powerless to help.

Saine's sigh made Bixi blink, and then she looked up at her sister.

Bai Xing then added, "Although I can't help him since he's already wanted, you can take him away from the Black Domain without any problem."

"You just said he signed Magic Contract with a level three Black Magician? Let me see the contract. As long as it doesn't involve Law Contract, I can modify it without much trouble."

Bai Xing's finger pointed at Zorro, who was standing next to Saine.

Zorro was also completely bewildered. He still couldn't figure out why Saine knew these giant sea creatures.

Hearing that his senior brother could be taken away, Saine felt a little better. But before he could say anything more, Bai Xing pointed at Fei'er and said, "She can't."

"Why?" Saine asked in astonishment.

At this moment, Fei'er's expression was also very low. The double joy of becoming Formal Magician and avenging her master was immediately crushed by Bai Xing's pronouncement.

Fei'er couldn't help but raise her head to look at the terrifying and unpredictable giant Mermaid, wanting to hear her answer.

"Your Life Level is too low right now, so you can't feel anything." →

"But my sister and I can feel it."

"The Wizard World Will will instinctively hostilely reject individuals who cause chaos and innocent killings in the Mother Plane."

"Although she is far from being a heinous criminal, she has a lot of blood on her hands, especially human blood."

"On the contrary, your senior brother hasn't done anything wrong. As long as he's not wanted by the Holy Tower, he can return to the Wizard Continent and become a normal Mage," Bai Xing replied.

Bai Xing's answer instantly reminded Saine of the slaves imprisoned in the lower levels of his senior sister Fei'er's laboratory...

In the terrible and dangerous environment of the Black Domain, pure Mage have almost disappeared.

It's probably not because Zorro, Saine's senior, was kind-hearted that he was involved.

Rather, it was because he had been engrossed in Alchemy Experiment and seeking revenge for his master all these years that he hadn't done anything heinous.

Upon hearing Bai Xing's answer, Saine and the others were somewhat stunned.

This is a new field that is beyond their previous knowledge and experience.

Few people would imagine that when they do evil in the Mother Plane, they will be subtly influenced by the Mother Plane Will.

It is estimated that when more than 99% of Mage do bad things, their first thought is the punishment according to the rules of the Holy Tower and the Knights' Hall.

The punishment from the Holy Tower is real, but the displeasure from the Plane Will is not immediately apparent.

Is Saine a good person?

He isn't actually one.

But looking back, it seems that Saine has never actually harmed innocent civilians in the Wizard World over the years.

Even when he was forced to kill some creatures in the Wizard World, Saine always had his own reasons.

Furthermore, the Light of the Planes contained within Saine's body is essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card for Saine.

Saine were to truly attack the lower-level beings of the Wizard World, the first thing he would inevitably consume would be the Light of the Planes within his own body.

Only when the Plane Will no longer pays him any attention will he be punished and disliked by the Plane Will, thus becoming Black Magician.

In conclusion, the Wizard World has two levels of standards for defining Black Magician: explicit and implicit.

The rules of the Holy Tower and the Knights' Hall are the rules in plain sight, the principles that billions of beings in the Wizard World must abide by.

The degree of preference of the Plane Will comes from the standards of the hidden forces.

Lina went against the overt line, but in reality, she didn't do anything particularly heinous in the covert line.

Fei'er, however, went against the covert line; she was not openly wanted by the various Holy Tower and Knights' Hall.

Violating either of these lines is no small matter.

The Wizard World is a powerful and prosperous world.

It is precisely because of its strength that the rules in all aspects are so sound.

Only when everyone follows the rules can the Wizard World continue to move forward on its established path of development.

What if it suddenly becomes a chaotic and disorderly world?

Given the Wizard World's existing base and its dominance over many surrounding star systems, internal conflicts alone would be enough to cause the Wizard Civilization to collapse.

Why do so many Wizard Alliance planes, knowing full well that the Wizard World is constantly extracting and plundering their plane's benefits, still choose to be subservient to the Wizard Civilization?

The Wizard World's immense power is one factor, and another is the Wizard Civilization's establishment and adherence to rules.

Within the defined rules, the Wizard World even protects the interests of its vassal planes.

Therefore, those weaker planes and civilizations firmly stood on the side of the Wizard World.

The words from Bai Xing, a level-five being, opened a Great Gate for Saine to the essence of the Wizard World and the vision of its higher levels.

He couldn't help but look at Lina beside him. Although her face looked helpless, it wasn't as heavy and disappointed as Saine's.

Perhaps the intelligent Lina had already seen through all of this, which is why she didn't have much hope.

Without much hope, there will naturally be less disappointment.

Lina would be satisfied if she could keep in touch with Saine regularly and meet him in the Netherworld or other Alien Plane.

Why would she ask for more?

The way of destiny is too obscure and mysterious. Lina has studied some astrological knowledge, but she doesn't know much about it.

Compared to Saine's bright and promising future, Lina was even unwilling to be a burden to Saine.

Just standing quietly behind Saine is fine.
