For more than forty years.

Mana's fusion speed was much faster than Levi had imagined.

On one hand, Mana's strength has increased compared to before.

On the other hand, it was the cooperation of the Blood Vortex Venerable himself.

In short, with the right timing, location, and people, Levi was finally able to leave the pass.

The final integration and finishing work lasted for a month.

During this time, Levi dared not be distracted for a moment, worried that the changes here would be too great and attract powerful enemies.

Finally, the phantom of the divine tree in the starry sky slowly dissipated.

The Black Swamp World also disappeared at the same time.

Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.

Yunmeng Marsh.

The Turtle Prime Minister had been promoted to the sixth rank, lazily stretched his old back.

Unlike most Dragonkind who like to play wildly in the Nightmare World.

Lati prefers quiet and is indeed not good at fighting; most of the time, he is on the defensive and taking hits.

That's probably the significance of layered armor.

Its usual work mainly involves taking care of the flowers and plants in Yunmeng Marsh and handling miscellaneous tasks in the Dragon Palace.

Buzz! The heavens and earth changed dramatically, and the winds and clouds surged.

A deep, dark crack still appeared in the sky above Yunmeng Marsh.

"Is it almost finished?"

Lati's heart skipped a beat.

The Dragon Palace members awoke with a start, rolled over, and looked up at the sky above Yunmeng Marsh.

There, it seemed as if a projection of another world was merging with this world.

They could sense that the land beneath their feet was growing and spreading towards the boundaries of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations.

The crystal wall, like a developing embryo, grows larger, thicker, and more stable.

The boundaries of blessed lands such as Flame Mountain, Little Frost Mountain, and Yunmeng Marsh were also expanded accordingly.

The earth seemed to have been split open like Dragon Spine, with the intricate mountain ranges covered in a dense spider web.

The tectonic plate movement was extremely intense, with thick smoke and lava erupting in many places.

The sky was overcast, and the gale-force winds were growing stronger.

Unlike the gentle fusions of the past, this one was quite intense.

This is inevitable in merging into a complete medium-sized world.

Within the blessed land, above various extraordinary botanical gardens and medicinal herb gardens, the light of the barrier flowed.

In response to all of this, the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm already has contingency plans in place.

All the extraordinary creatures spontaneously returned to their respective habitats.

Skyfire Fortress, Black Soul Magic Tower, Ancient Shell Palace —everyone peeked out, watching with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness...

Until the sky turned blue again and the earth stopped shaking.

An oval-shaped spatial portal has been permanently left in the sky above Yunmeng Marsh.

It leads to a sub-plane, the Black Marsh Secret Realm.

The portal opened, and a withered leech, seemingly devoid of moisture and reduced to mere skin, fell out.

It raised its head and gazed at the azure sea and sky, so different from the Black Swamp World.

"Hahaha, I've lived a second life!"

Blood Vortex Venerable shouted with joy, from the bottom of his heart.

For Plane Convergence of planes, it has endured constant torment.

That feeling of knowing your death is imminent, yet being powerless and helpless, is truly utterly despairing.

In the center of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.

On the vast grassland, a giant banyan tree, 30,000 meters tall, with a canopy covering hundreds of miles, stands majestically on the earth.

In terms of size, Mana is the largest creature Levi has ever seen.

To the divine tree, this size is nothing; it is still in its infancy.

Countless green particles flew out, transforming into a graceful figure that grew increasingly mature.

Mana wore a crown-like floral wreath on her head, and a long green veil trailed behind her.

A gentle breeze blew by, and her gauze dress clung tightly to her increasingly muscular body, highlighting her curves and captivating all who beheld it.

Wow, it's so beautiful.

The girl exclaimed in genuine admiration, Idrasera danced around Mana like an elf.

Finally, he didn't forget to hug Mana's waist from behind with his slender arms.

"You've reached level eight," Idrasera said.

Mana said, "Yes."

Her entire demeanor seemed different from before.

She has lost some of her gentleness and cuteness, but gained more maturity and heroic spirit.

When she arrived at Yunmeng Marsh, the Blood Vortex Venerable frolicked in the swamp like an ordinary worm, rolling around in the mud.

The joy of living a second life is something that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"Are you alright?"

"It's alright. The last time I was this happy was when I became the Plane Dominator of the Black Swamp World."

Members of the Dragon Palace, sea monsters, and extraordinary creatures gathered from all directions, surrounding the towering ancient banyan tree.

This scene resembled a believer worshipping their own Mountain God! "Lady Mana has grown even bigger."

"Yes, I can't see the end of it."

Levi arrived at the entrance to the Black Swamp World.

At this moment Blood Vortex Venerable's respect for Levi was like the Yellow River, flowing endlessly.

The Black Swamp World hasn't changed much.

However, after becoming a secondary spatial realm, it shrank considerably.

Because a portion of the spatial energy was absorbed by the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.

Mana explained, "The current Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm spans 130,000 li from east to west, 90,000 li from north to south, with a sky 30,000 zhang high and an earth thickness of 50,000 li."

Levi was very satisfied.

Even excluding the Ice Sea Secret Realm and the Black Marsh Secret Realm, the area of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm far exceeds that of the Ancient Dragon Continent.

A more expansive territory means more hidden gems and abundant resources.

He said, "Blood Vortex, you are the guardian behind the Black Swamp World. Other wizards may come here to explore in the future."

Blood Vortex said, "Understood."

In general, the Black Swamp World is not a resource-rich area in the conventional sense.

This place is filled with miasma and poisonous gases, and there are many poisonous insects.

Levi thought it would be quite suitable for Insect School to cultivate alien insects and grow plants for making poisons here.

We should make good use of it in the future and not let it go to waste.

Furthermore, Blood Vortex Venerable has now become the Plane Dominator, and his life and death are completely in Mana's hands.

If there aren't enough spots for the Extremely Dark Enslavement in the future, they can be released.

There's no rush now; there are still plenty of spots available.

Levi and Mana arrived at the Small Stone Pond and sat down facing each other.

Today, Small Stone Pond can be called a lake, from which the Ageless Spring Water gushes forth and flows in all directions.

The well-developed water system nourishes the blessed land within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.

Outside the area of Ageless Spring Water, Oasis One is planted on a large scale.

The low-level demon corpses piled up below continuously provided nourishment, which was converted into elemental power.

With the blessing of the Ageless Spring Water and Oasis One, the elemental power of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm far surpasses Nora's current level.

If you cultivate and grow here, your speed will naturally be fast.

Therefore, even without Dragon Scale Fruit fruit, the extraordinary creatures raised by Levi could advance at a speed incomparable to those in the wild.

Levi asked, "How are you feeling right now?"

Mana: "Very good. After advancing to level eight, my methods are far superior to before."

Immediately afterwards, Mana showed off her skills a little.

She pointed to a small blade of grass on the ground and then gently blew on it.

Under Levi's gaze, the grass grew at a visible speed, blossomed and bore fruit, and then withered and turned into seeds scattered all over the ground.

"You can accelerate plant growth? Can extraordinary plants do that?"

Levi's heart stirred.

Mana said, "Yes, it's possible, but it won't be as exaggerated as ordinary things."

She took Levi's hand and led him to the body of the Ancient Banyan King.

Then she gently stroked Levi's eyes with her palm, and a green light flickered in Levi's pupils.

He looked at the ancient banyan tree, his expression changing.

Hundreds of millions of tiny people, like a torrent, surged into the Four Seas and Eight Desolations of the fairyland with the air currents.

These little figures are entirely green, and they look exactly like Mana.

"This is the Mana Power. Through it, I can subtly influence Sentient Beings in the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. I can make the weak wither and flourish in an instant, and I can also make the powerful follow my will and evolve towards becoming stronger and better generation after generation. I can construct a Mana Ecological World influenced by the will of Mana."

Levi was deeply shocked and asked:

"Is this... is this a way of utilizing the power of the Divine Tree?"

Mana said, "Yes, every true divine tree is a unique existence in the world, but all divine trees need to learn two compulsory courses: one is 'Creation' and the other is 'Creation'. Creation is about changing the world and creating a world supported by the power of the divine tree, while 'Creation' is about influencing the living beings in the world through one's own will, granting them the potential for evolution. The Pandora Elves were created by the divine tree being, the ' Pandora Matriarch ', while the Golden Absolute Clan was created by the ' Golden Ancient Tree '."

Levi suddenly realized.

"So, you too can create your own biological race? And forge a unique path to transcendence for them?"

Mana said, "Theoretically, that's true. However, at my current level eight, I can't create life. I can only make some minor optimizations to existing life. I may still lack a certain key power within me, the power that allows the divine trees to nurture life. This power may come from the ancestors of all the divine trees, the supreme [Origin Will]!"

Levi: "What you have now obtained is an incomplete authority of [Creation], is that a fair understanding?"

Mana nodded slightly. "Yes, I don't know how to make it complete. It might require advancing to level nine, or it might require communicating with the ethereal [Origin Will]."

Levi remained silent.

[Origin Will]

This was a powerful being beyond his comprehension, undoubtedly exceeding level ten.

How could the World Tree, capable of giving birth to the Golden Ancient Tree, the Pandora Matriarch, and many other civilizations, be ordinary?

After chatting with Mana for a long time, Levi learned a lot more about the divine tree.

The happiest person was none other than Idrasera.

As Immortal Banyan Dragon, the stronger the World Tree it resides in, the faster it grows.

The previous Demon Tree, although older, did not have an independent will.

Unlike Mana, who truly has the potential to become the World Tree.

Levi took a stroll through the brand-new Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.

Perhaps due to the transformation of the fairyland, many rare plants have blossomed and borne fruit.

The fairyland has once again welcomed a bountiful harvest.

In the fertile soil, A Long, a giant earthworm with a body length of over 10,000 meters, stretched his body back and forth.

Soft and fertile soil is the foundation for everything!

Between heaven and earth, the A Die with a wingspan of ten thousand meters pierced the Firmament and brought down nectar and dew.

Earth and water are the source of most life.

The ocean surrounding the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm has also expanded considerably, providing ample habitat for sea creatures.

The Ancient Banyan Netherworld Mansion, the Land of the Dead, has expanded and progressed, and it has clearly benefited from this.

Now, the entire area within a radius of three thousand miles is a land of the dead.

The Black Soul Magic Tower stands atop it, with countless undead wandering within.

"Great! We're getting closer and closer to a flawless world."

In the blink of an eye, Levi's figure vanished, and he appeared tens of thousands of miles away in the Golden Light Cave using the [Formless Secret Word].

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! The Sword of Victory trembled incessantly.

"Huh, even the [King's Sword] has been fully formed. It's a pity I'm already an Eighth Ring Wizard."

Strictly speaking, the King's Sword has been conceived very quickly, only eight hundred years ago.

Its growth cycle has been shortened by several times compared to its original growth cycle of thousands of years.

Levi's promotion was too rapid.

Even a small amount of food is still food.

Levi quickly refined it, thus completing the refinement of this series of wondrous items.

My mental strength has increased by 60 points, which should be considered the highest grade among Morning Star artifacts. Very good.

Without any accompanying spirit creature, the gold element talent increased slightly.

Suddenly, Levi's expression changed.

Many strange and illusory images floated in his mind.

These are all proof that he refined extraordinary objects.

Suddenly, the phantoms representing the [Dust Citizen Sword], the [Knight's Sword], and the [White Emperor Holy Sword] flickered.

Then, they began to merge with the latest phantom of the [King's Sword].

"This... is interesting."

Levi watched quietly.

Finally, the four strange phantom images merged into one.

What came into view was a golden greatsword engraved with images of slash-and-burn agriculture, houses and people, military formations and battlefields, kings and generals, imperial palaces, Zenith and rivers, and even the sun, moon and stars.

"The commoner, the Knight, the king, the White Emperor —the four swords combined into one—are the Nation-Protecting Sword!"

In some mysterious way, Levi seemed to have discovered a hidden function of these four extraordinary objects after they were refined.

"To safeguard the nation and ensure its stability."

It's an effect that's hard to describe, similar to luck or fortune.

The Lovers Rune can increase Levi's luck.

The "Coin of Transferring Luck" can also bring good fortune to Levi.

These are all aimed at individuals.

The [Nation-Protecting Sword] is designed for groups of people.

The group here refers to the group that is under Levi's administration or rule.

For example, the Dragon Palace, or the Ancient Dragon Continent.

All living beings living under the radiance of Levi, the leader.

They all receive the blessing of the [Nation-Protecting Sword] in some mysterious way.

The "country" here is a concept, not a specific country.

Of course, if it were placed in the Age of Declining Magic and given to a king of a kingdom, it would have an effect on his subjects and Knight.

In short, this effect increased continuously as Levi's strength and status improved.

This is an incredibly impressive effect.

In my previous life's terms, this was the ability to suppress the destiny of a nation, or even a clan.

Let's assume that Levi is the Grand Council President, or perhaps the spiritual leader of the Wizard World.

Wherever Levi's radiance shines, the fortune of that civilization will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Under the influence of a leader, one can even gradually improve.

"I never expected that these three seemingly unremarkable strange items would have such an effect."

"Even Arthur, Forging this level-eight treasure, probably didn't expect it to turn out like this. After all, the birth of the White Emperor Holy Sword was purely accidental, and it's unlikely that a second one will appear. There will never be another White Emperor Child in this world."

"If Arthur hadn't been weak, this treasure would definitely be level nine, comparable to the [Oath Sword]."

Levi felt regretful.

He put the Sword of Victory back in its place.

In the Sword Tomb World, the [Dust Citizen Sword] is being conceived once again.

These three swords are extraordinary artifacts, unlike any other.

According to Arthur's original plan, it was intended for the warriors of his empire to refine it.

In other words, the Knight of the Twilight Temple can also refine their magic through special methods, achieving effects that are completely different from those of the spellcaster.

For example, enhancing combat skills and talents.

Given the current elemental conditions of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm and Levi's financial resources, it will cost some money to accelerate its development.

Basically, it can guarantee Dust Citizen Sword every 10 years, a Knight's Sword every 40 years, and King's Sword every 200 years.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that 10 Dust Citizen Sword will be produced stably every hundred years.

These rare items will be placed in the Twilight Temple for skilled Knight to exchange and refine.

Even Knight can refine a custom-made artifact from the earth and gain some improvement.

The overall level of the Twilight Temple can still be improved.

Astral Realm Ruin Sea.

Levi is exploring the area and is heading towards the location of the first Darkness Treasure Map.

Poro World.

It's about a year's journey from there to the Black Swamp World.

Of course, for other Eighth Ring Wizard, it might take decades.

This treasure map was drawn by a Sixth Ring wizard and is worth 400 million Great Stone.

The record above states that there is a possible alien ruin in that world.

With his strength, he couldn't defeat the ferocious beasts on the outskirts of the ruins, so he gave up.

He also swore that what he said was absolutely true.

Many traveling wizards make money by selling clues to treasures from various dimensions.

A year later, Levi arrived at the location of the Poro World.

This is only a medium-sized world, and there are alien civilizations on it.

The strongest among them is only at the seventh level of cultivation.

Levi arrived at the site of the ruins, only to find that it seemed someone had already gotten there first.

Half a day later, Levi left the Poro World.

Within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, a large number of white jade pillars and bricks that appear to be of good quality have appeared.

"We're too late. It's already been stolen by a passing dark pirate."

Those building materials are worth several million Great Stone, which is not bad.

Levi maintained a good attitude and continued on to the second location, which was called [Fermi World].

It is said that there is a Ocean Faction artifact being conceived there, of the quality of the Bright Moon.

Six months later, Levi stood silently before the ruins of a world.

Fermi World exploded...

It could be a natural disaster, or it could be destroyed by powerful figures who happened to be fighting.

In short, it has completely lost its vitality, and the world's will has dissipated.

These ruins, shattered into a cluster of meteorites, cannot be used for dimensional fusion.

Levi was unwilling to give up; he felt that with his luck, it was impossible for him to leave empty-handed.

Three days later, after breaking a piece of black meteorite, Levi discovered a giant ore that shone with a dim blue light.

"This... this is the Starfall Remains?"

The Starfall Remains are treasures that have a chance to be born after the fall of some planes.

It can be used to Forging spatial treasures or to open spatial passages.

Mana used a piece of Starfall Remains to open a passage from the Ancient Dragon Continent to the Ice Sea Secret Realm.

Now, with this, we can open a passage to the Black Marsh Secret Realm.

"Such a large piece of Starfall Remains is more valuable than ordinary Full Moon Wonder. Fortune and misfortune are intertwined."

Regardless, the Great Stone of the Darkness Treasure Map has already been recouped, with a surplus.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the year 880 of the Nora Calendar, the Blood War for 669 years.

Levi went to the locations of the third and fourth treasure maps.

In the third world, he went through countless hardships to break through the ancient alien ruins.

Unfortunately, there was nothing there except a group of lingering Evil Spirit from the ruins.

Levi performed a physical ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife.

The fourth place, called the "Hall World," is a medium-to-large world, much larger than the Black Swamp World.

There once lived a group of alien races who called themselves the "Hall God Clan".

They are likely followers of some Astral Realm god, and this group most likes to call themselves "gods".

Unfortunately, by the time Levi arrived, Hall World had already become Paradise for demons.

He saw a terrifying fire demon radiating a level nine aura from afar.

It roared, "Destroy with the Sword of Surgard!" and raised its world-destroying flaming sword, piercing through the Hall World's layers.

Then, the Hall World also cracked open...

A terrifying force descended, Darkness Zone cracked open.

The Abyssal Well appeared out of nowhere sucked the Hall World into it like a vacuum cleaner.

Among the wreckage, Levi saw the broken remains of a twelve-winged angel, wreathed in demonic flames.

This Demigod also fell to the sword of the Flame Demon Lord named [Surgard].

This level nine fire demon is no ordinary being.

What it held in its hand also seemed to be an extraordinary treasure.

After only a fleeting glance, Levi quickly left.

If you keep watching, you'll suffer the consequences yourself.

No wonder it's called the Bottomless Abyss, no wonder it's been waging Blood War since ancient Abyss! The Abyss didn't appear out of thin air; like the Plane Convergence of Nora, it devours other worlds through Blood War!

Furthermore, it is more radical Nora.

Because Nora's influence is limited to the Pan-dimensional world at most.

The Abyss, relying on the Abyssal Well, extends its reach to multiple dimensions.

The birth of each Abyss is accompanied by the destruction of countless worlds.

Having witnessed all of this firsthand, Levi felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He began to understand Sauron somewhat.

No matter how hypocritical the gods of the Astral Realm may be, the dangers of the Astral Realm are far less than those of the chaotic Abyss.

The Abyss is a tumor in multiple dimensions.

The demons are like cancer cells that are constantly worsening and expanding, adding fuel to the Abyss.

Unfortunately, even someone as powerful as Sauron couldn't destroy the Abyss.

It even stopped in front of that mysterious being called the Chaos Attendant.

"Well..."

After a silent sigh, Levi traveled to the fifth world.

Its name is [Lasgar], and it is a large world.

Above, there is a medium-sized civilization called the Thunder Clan.

Judging from the Darkness Treasure Map, this is an alien race that can control Thunder, and its individual strength is very strong.

Because their entire bodies are covered in purple scales, they are also known as the "Purple Scale Clan".

Lasgar is quite far away; even with Levi's ability to Wander the Void, it took him six years to travel there.

This is a remote area that most Primal Soul Wizard would never set foot in.

Along the way, Levi did not forget to search for various extraordinary creatures, such as Dragonkind.

Small gains kept coming, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter the level eight Dragonkind needed for the Golden Radiance Dragon Secret Medicine.

After all, most of the time, they were traveling in the Astral Realm Ruin Sea.

During the process, he discovered that the number of worlds experiencing Blood War within the Sauron Pan-Dimension was far greater than he had imagined.

Some weak civilizations can be crushed with just a demon lord leading an army.

He remembered what he had heard from Ms. Lucy at the tea party.

The scale and duration of this Blood War are unprecedented in the history of the Nora World.

It is also the historical record of the entire Sauron Pan-Dimension.

This is a truly dark and turbulent era! If the Wizard Civilization cannot grow rapidly and produce powerful figures like Sauron who are capable of turning the tide...

Once the Abyss has swallowed up the entire world surrounding Nora, the consequences will be extremely severe.

On one hand, Nora was completely surrounded.

On the other hand, Nora lost the source of her growth power.

After another month of travel, Levi finally saw his final destination.

Lasgar!

Soro City.

A circular Holy City floating on the Lasgar Thunder Plateau.

The powerful Magneto Force ensures that this city will never fall.

Legend has it that the great ancestor of the Thunder Clan, Auro, captured 24 of the most skilled artisans in civilization and spent hundreds of years building this city.

The Holy City has a diameter of 50,000 meters.

Inlaid in its four cardinal directions are four thunder pearls made from ancient giant shells of the eighth grade.

In the center of the Holy City, a wondrous treasure crafted from the Sky Eye Thunder Beast Eye monitors an area spanning tens of thousands of miles.

This is a city of order; no one dares to act recklessly here.

Once an enemy is detected, the Heavenly Eye will gather the power of four thunder pearls and unleash a Thunder powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth! Even an eighth-level expert would be unable to escape with their life.

Therefore, in this realm, Lasgar was renowned and no one dared to provoke him.

Its prestige is second only to those powerful civilizations that have level nine experts in charge.

The Thunder Royal Clan resides in this Holy City; they are the rulers of this world.

On this day, groups of powerful Purple Scales warriors flew out from both inside and outside the Holy City.

They are all led by level six experts, and their strength is generally at the level five.

"Catch the thief!"

"Someone has broken into the Hall of Heroes!"

In a tavern within the Holy City, a three-meter-tall Thunder Clan warrior was drinking by himself.

He stared blankly at the Holy City Enforcers flying by outside; it was Levi.

The tavern owner sighed, "The world is not peaceful these days. The Holy City has become more and more chaotic in recent years."

It is a humanoid creature with pale purple scales and a large hole in its chest.

This is their reproductive organ. After conception, an egg will slowly solidify here, giving birth to a new life.

Levi learned more about the Thunder Clan from the landlady.

The immense power of this race has converged in the Holy City of Solo.

Four level-eight experts are stationed in the city year-round.

The current ruler of the Lasgar Empire also resides in the Holy City, and his strength is at the late stage of level eight.

It is said that the Hall of Heroes is protected by the spirit of the ancestor [Auro].

That Auro was a level nine powerhouse who led the Thunder Clan to migrate here and establish an empire.

This is also why Levi dared not rush in recklessly.

Lasgar's resources are in no way inferior to those of the top organizations in the Wizard World.

Multiple dimensions and different civilizations each have their own unique features.

Even if you become powerful, you must never lose the virtue of steadiness.

According to the author of the Darkness Treasure Map, there seems to be a thunder-type Truth Wonder or rare treasure in the center of the Holy City.

The traveler, lacking the strength, dared not approach too closely.

However, he concluded that it was either a rare item from the Bright Moon (Blazing Sun) or a level eight or nine extraordinary treasure.

In short, as long as you have the ability, you won't suffer if you come here.

Therefore, this treasure map is the most expensive; Levi spent 1 billion Great Stone.

Levi's consciousness entered his mind.

Inside the Law Ring Holy Tower, [Si Lei] was somewhat restless.

It kept wandering around the tower walls, seemingly yearning for the center of the Holy City.

What's inside is self-evident.

Levi was somewhat excited.

"Thunder God Sequence Sun Flare Oddity!"

It's truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly."

Boom! Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the sky.

"Hurry up, we're closing!"

Only Levi Wei remained in the tavern, the proprietress urged.

"This business is impossible to run, it's so chaotic."

Rumor has it that a nobleman in the Holy City was possessed by Mind Flayer while traveling outside the realm.

Although he was captured and executed by law enforcement, Lasgar's coordinates were also exposed.

A terrifying army of demons could invade this place at any moment.

The Holy City declared it a rumor and subsequently executed the person who spread it.

But within the Holy City, people remained filled with unease.

Some nobles who own spaceships have begun to move their families and try to escape Lasgar.

The proprietress, a businesswoman with no power or influence and only able to run a small business, could only resign herself to fate.

Levi turned and left. The proprietress watched his retreating figure and whispered a reminder: "You seem young, but you're quite capable. If you're so good, leave here. The world in Lasgar has changed."

Levi chuckled and said in the Thunder Language, "Thank you."

He went outside and found the Holy City in complete chaos.

A group of fully armed Thunder Warriors surrounded a burly figure dressed in a black robe.

"Hehehe, you fools, instead of hurrying to escape, you're still working for the Auro Family? Lasgar is about to face its end, and everyone who stays here will die!"

A powerful eighth-level Thunder Clan member clad in golden armor rebuked:

"Spreading rumors and misleading the public! Seize him for this prince!"

Rays of Thunder shot toward the black-robed figure.

This person was also an eighth-level expert, moving nimbly among them.

The golden-armored warrior fought it head-on, and a terrifying explosion resounded over the Holy City.

The man in black robes, not wanting to get entangled, quickly fled.

Suddenly, a purple eyeball in the center of the Holy City opened.

Buzz! In an instant, a beam of purple light shot straight to the center of the sky! Accompanied by a scream, the black-robed expert's figure was instantly vaporized.

The robe tore open, revealing purple scales inside.

"It really was you, General Baka! Why did you betray our royal family! We trusted you so much!"

The golden-armored warrior had a complicated expression.

The man in black robes sneered, "Trust us? The trust you speak of means knowingly dragging us down with you when the world is about to perish?"

The golden-armored warrior retorted angrily, "Nonsense! With the protection of the heroic spirit of our ancestor Auro, nothing could possibly happen to us!"

The man in black robes sneered, "So that means the Mind Flayer invasion is true?"

The golden-armored warrior was speechless.

The commotion was so loud that countless commoners and nobles in the Holy City heard it.

In an instant, the already panicked emotions exploded completely.

"What? The demons are really going to invade?"

Why didn't you tell us?

"Has your royal family already begun relocation?"

General Baka laughed maniacally, "You guessed right, the royal family and nobles have already begun to move. They are abandoning you and using your sacrifice to delay the approaching demon army... Lasgar has been abandoned."

The golden-armored warrior's expression changed drastically.

General Baka used all his strength to unleash a bolt of lightning with his right hand, piercing the sky.

The crystal wall cracked open, and in the distant depths of space, a pitch-black well that seemed to devour everything was slowly taking shape, like a black hole.

Just then, a beautifully designed and ornate purple spaceship was moving away from Lasgar.

"What... what is that? Is that a royal ship?"

"Damn it, the rumors were actually true!"

Countless angry voices echoed between heaven and earth.

A figure emanating the aura of a late-stage level eight Thunder Clan, dressed in golden robes and wearing a crown, appeared—the ruler of the empire.

Its face was aged, and it said calmly, "Baka, you are indeed a street thug. You are good at framing people. It was you who colluded with the demons and lured them here, but you spread rumors that it was the Mind Flayer who did it. What is your intention? I have treated you well and even promoted you to a general, making you an equal to our royal family... Fine, I will end the evil consequences I have created."

A terrifying Thunder Pillar reduced Baka to ashes.

The empire's ruler looked at the panicked tribe and then vanished.

"Father, what should we do?"

The emperor said calmly, "Don't bother explaining. They've already evacuated most of them anyway."

Suddenly, a terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from within the Holy City.

Immediately following was a deafening explosion.

The Emperor's expression changed. "Someone has infiltrated the Hall of Heroes while Baka is causing chaos! Everyone, proceed to the Hall of Heroes!"

Hall of Heroes.

An eighth-level Thunder Clan was standing in front of a purple pillar of light.

It reached out, trying to grab the phantom in the beam of light.

The phantom resembled a purple head with antlers on its forehead, its eyes tightly closed, exuding an imposing aura.

Countless terrifying Thunder Snake swam around, their illusory and destructive aura permeating the surroundings, while profound and complex runes of truth flickered.

Bang.

The beam of light repelled the Thunder Clan, sending him flying backward.

At the same time, the Emperor of the Empire arrived with two Level 8 experts.

"Odd, what are you doing?"

Of the four level-eight generals in the Holy City, three are children of the Emperor or members of the royal family, and the remaining one is General Baka.

Odd, its youngest son, is at the early stage of level eight.

Odd seemed not to hear its words; its body swelled, and terrifying black energy surged forth.

In an instant, Odd transformed into a gigantic, black dragon with bared fangs and claws.

Around it, poisonous gas filled the air, shadows loomed, blood flowed freely, and death surrounded it.

Extremely Dark Dragon! Boom! The giant dragon collided with the pillar of lightning once again.

The dragon claw finally pierced through the lightning and seized the purple head.

At the same time, the emperor of the empire also made his move.

"You're not Odd, who are you?!"

It slammed out a palm, and a giant thunder Thunder materialized, hurtling towards the dragon.

It knew that its son had been controlled by Nameless force.

It died.

"Attack! We can't let it steal the Thunder Head!"

Three level-eight auras attacked, and the Extremely Dark Dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the Thunder Head.

Then its sinister gaze fixed on the ruler of the empire.

This gave this late-stage level eight expert a chilling feeling.

[Eight Directions Vanish, Formless Through Past and Present! Hurry!]

Whoosh! The Extremely Dark Dragon vanished instantly.

The barriers and seals of the Hall of Heroes seemed to have no effect on it.

"Quickly pursue them! This is the key to the arrival of the heroic spirits!" the prince shouted.

Seeing the black dragon disappear, the empire's ruler breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget it, it's already far away, you can't catch it. The spirit of Auro actually dissipated ten thousand years ago... Moreover, even if the spirit descends, it can't save Lasgar. The appearance of the Abyssal Well is bound to be accompanied by demons of level nine or above."

The prince looked at the rioting civilians outside and asked, "Father, are all these people staying here?"

The Emperor nodded. "The spaceship is already full. The incident happened suddenly, and we don't have any treasures that form our own realm, so we can't take these people with us. Moreover, the bloodlines of commoners are of inferior quality. If they were to infiltrate, it would only pollute the powerful bloodline of our royal family in the long run, weakening our development potential. As long as our royal family exists, as long as those level six powerhouses exist, our foundation will remain. One day, when I reach the Demigod realm of my ancestor Auro and reconnect with the Astral Realm gods, we, this abandoned race of gods, can return to the Astral Realm and escape this filthy mortal world!"

The prince asked, "What about this Holy City?"

The Emperor said, "Let it stay here. This thing has been in disrepair for years and can no longer navigate the Darkness Zone. It's a pity that our ancestors spent so much to build it, and now it can only turn into dust and scrap metal. Before it is destroyed, it can serve as a fortress to help these poor worms resist the demons' attacks... Alas, if we had enough time to prepare, I would not want to abandon those people."

Not long after.

The royal family's spaceship left the Holy City in a grand and imposing manner.

All the civilians of the Thunder Clan were utterly desperate.

They were truly abandoned.

Inside the tavern, the proprietress closed the door, and it sat calmly at the entrance, awaiting the impending apocalypse.

Throughout Lasgar, those who had the ability to leave have already fled.

The vast majority of those people were members of the royal family or nobles related to the royal family.

The rest are mostly the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

"Boss lady, you're still here."

A Black Armor Swordsman appeared, casually tossing Prince Odd's corpse into the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm and marking the planting point for the curiosities.

In the distant future, perhaps the Thunder Faction's Full Moon Wonder will be born here.

I've got that antler-headed Sun Flare Oddity.

He controlled the prince through Extremely Dark Parasitism and Extremely Dark Enslavement, taking advantage of the chaos to seize the opportunity, without ever personally lifting a finger.

With his current strength, if it weren't for his fear of the so-called ancestral spirits, no one in the entire Thunder Clan would be his match.

Upon seeing the Black Armor Swordsman, the proprietress hesitated at first, then smiled and said:

"So you're from out of town. No wonder you asked me about those things... I should have known. You were the one who caused such a ruckus at the Hall of Heroes. I didn't expect you to be so strong."

Although it was only at level five, it remained neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Levi, an eighth-level expert, as if conversing with a friend.

Levi looked at the chaotic Holy City, then gazed into the deep space, where the Abyssal Well grew ever larger.

According to parliamentary research, the passage will be completed in no more than three days.

In his mind, the Fool Rune kept warning him, foreshadowing a scene: a majestic crimson phantom, wielding a giant sword, spewing flames, and destroying everything! Although he couldn't see its face clearly, Levi knew who it was.

The ninth-level fire demon [Surgard] who previously destroyed the Hall World.

This guy really has a knack for destroying things wherever he goes.

"Hurry up, stranger, our world is about to be destroyed."

The proprietress rested her chin on her hand, looked up at the sky, and urged.

Levi asked, "What's your name?"

The proprietress looked up. "My name is Ili Baka."

Levi asked, "Who is that General Baka to you?"

Ellie: "He is the old patriarch of the Baka Family line, but he has many descendants, and we are not familiar with him."

Levi asked, "Do you want to live?"

Ellie said, "Of course I want to. You'll take me with you? Just because we met once? I don't even know who you are."

Levi: "That's not the case. I come from a powerful civilization, and I have the ability to take you away. However, I need your Thunder Clan to serve me and my civilization from now on. I will make you the leader of the Thunder Clan and manage this surviving race for me."

Correct typos first, then refine the text.

I'm asking for monthly votes and Recommendation Ticket for this long chapter.
