In the tenth year after Tribulation Thunder descended upon the world, it now targeted every Elf Professional above Level 5 and below Level 16. Over those ten years, countless elves had died beneath the Lightning Tribulation. Every one of them saw Locke as the greatest villain in the world, hating him for treating all elves as playthings in his palm.
Locke used Great Magic: Tree of Prosperity to unite Tree of All Things and Rain Wizard Chief, regulating both the flow and distribution of spiritual breath. Then he forcibly created a counterfeit life-and-death cycle within the world. Without a life-and-death cycle, the elves of this world should only have been able to die, never to be born.
But Locke had used two Great Magics to replace the life-and-death cycle, establishing a local cycle within the world. This allowed the elves of the Genesis Blue Lotus World to undergo reincarnation locally, and so new elves were finally born ten years later. It was only because Locke had drawn most of their attention that the elves had failed to notice that not a single child had been born anywhere in the world over the preceding decade.
Now the entire world's hatred was concentrated on Locke alone.
Between fighting one another, the elves also tried to find this greatest villain in history, but all of them failed.
Thus, the elves lived in constant fear. Many who still wanted to survive began searching for a solution. Gradually, they discovered that as long as they raised their strength sufficiently at each level, even that terrifying villain's Lightning Tribulation could not kill them.
For a time, elves who survived the Lightning Tribulation became great heroes. They gained supreme renown and traveled the world enjoying power, women, and every pleasure it had to offer.
