Waiting for the right moment
In the following days, ' Lai ' did not see anything strange happening in the city.
Communication Device Communication Device Communication Device by Demon Demon was neither repaired nor delivered by Demon Demon Oscar had mentioned.
In the city, Demon could still be seen suddenly leaping out from the city gates and docks from time to time, only to be quickly taken away by the well-trained guards. Because they were so skilled, there were hardly any casualties.
Even those Spirit Realm Traveler, having already decided not to get involved in this Trial, truly did not. Several second-tier captains from the guard team came to their door, but they were all politely turned down.
The entire city seemed to have come to a standstill, repeating the same cycle day after day, with the daily shipments of goods arriving in roughly the same quantity and type.
At this moment, ' Lai ' received a voice from the Lord of Radiance outside the Trial, which surprised ' Lai '. How could the Lord of Radiance transmit his voice through the Trial in the Spirit Realm?
"Listen, I've just entered the Brilliant Dream, so my time to talk to you is limited. Ask your questions after I've finished asking mine."
"First of all, how's the Trial going? Are you still able to control the situation and prevent the Trial from failing or going well?"
"There's no problem now. Those Spirit Realm Traveler find the Trial too difficult and don't want to participate anymore, but I don't know how to end the Trial."
The Lord of Radiance paused for a moment, then continued:
"That's good. Based on my current assessment, you'll need to stay inside for at least five more days. Only after five days will I have a chance to take over the domain."
Five days have passed; it's probably not even close to the semifinals of the Champion Mage Challenge yet...
' Lai ' felt that he could probably sort out the matters of the Spirit Realm before the semifinals, and then focus on the Champion Mage Challenge.
Of course, the Champion Mage Challenge isn't important; what's important is how to escape in time after the Champion Mage Challenge.
According to the images seen through the Star Gazing Art, the Number Three Floating City was bound to crash. Although she saw Magic Glow appear there at the end, it was still uncertain whether the people on the Number Three Floating City were safe.
Moreover, to be on the safe side, she should leave immediately along the prepared path as soon as she defeats her opponent. Otherwise, if she were to be trapped on the Number Three Floating City, she dared not say that she could survive the attacks of so many Deity.
Most importantly, even if the Lord of Radiance were to unleash Divine Descent, it might not be able to save her life at that moment. With so many Deity around, even if the Lord of Radiance is incredibly powerful, he would have to think twice.
Besides, that's the heart of the Alliance. It's one thing for the mages on the Floating City to be slow to react, but the other Legendary and Fourth Order Mage will arrive as soon as things happen.
She wasn't confident that the Lord of Radiance could complete his Divine Descent under the gaze of so many High-Order Mage without any incident.
"By the way, Fran, there's something I must remind you, and it was my oversight: you might not be able to take the Sun Block anymore..."
' Lai ' frowned deeply and quickly asked:
"What exactly happened?"
"Divine Statue Beside the Brilliant Dream lies a realm ruled by Deity, whose Deity you may have already seen— the God of War."
Of course, ' Lai ' knew about this Deity. If we say that the followers of the Goddess of Ocean Currents are the most widely distributed Deity Sect on the continent due to shipping, then...
The God of War can be said to be the largest Sect on the entire continent, and its influence is even profound among those forces with Fifth Order power.
If we were to argue which Sect is currently the number one Sect on the mainland, then the God of War would undoubtedly be number one.
"Generally speaking, followers of the God of War don't interfere in the affairs of other Deity, even if my relationship with the God of War isn't very good."
The things the Lord of Radiance did affected all the Deity, damaging the reputation of the entire Deity collective while benefiting only the Lord of Radiance personally. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the God of War had a good impression of the Lord of Radiance.
"I can move all the Block of the Brilliant Dream to my location in a little time, but the Sun Domain Realm is the exception."
"The Gods don't care who owns this Sun Domain Realm, but anyone who tries to move it will inevitably face the Gods ' obstruction."
"The God of War won't stand idly by either. He might even personally intervene when sending out third-tier warriors from within his domain. I can't help you with that..."
' Lai ' blinked, then responded.
"I understand, I'll handle it."
These words puzzled the Lord of Radiance.
"You can handle it, how will you handle it...?"
"Oh, I forgot that there are other life forms within the Sun Domain... but can he really guarantee your safety and the success of your plan?"
"If you face failure, remember never to fight it head-on. Call upon me for help, and I can take you away."
Clearly, the Lord of Radiance did not know the situation of Zali in the Sun Domain, or whether he could withstand the Divine Power of the God of War.
Maybe yes, maybe no.
However, the Lord of Radiance also said that if things don't work out, He can take ' Lai ' away. Regardless of whether things succeed or not, at least He can save His own life.
He doesn't want to let Fran, this outstanding Proxy, go yet, and there are still things in the Material Realm that need Fran's attention. Without Fran, it might be difficult to continue.
However, ' Lai ' thought of things was a little different from that of the Lord of Radiance, because she had already considered a scenario in which those Deity would never use their Divine Power to attack her.
That is, when the incident occurred in the Number Three Floating City, if there was any most appropriate thing to do at that time, it would definitely be to do something that the Gods would find intolerable, but which was not yet necessary to intervene.
The attack on the Number Three Floating City and the subsequent events at Ocean were things the Gods had to do, and the former had greatly weakened their Deity Divine Power reserves.
Although she didn't recognize which Proxy of the God of War was present at that time, she assumed the God of War was also there, as she sensed the Divine Power attack from him.
After the attack on the Number Three Floating City, the total amount of Divine Power accumulated by the Gods the years will be consumed to a certain extent, and they must accumulate Divine Power in advance to cope with future changes.
Having just attacked Number Three Floating City, would the God of War still be willing to expend his limited Divine Power to attack the one collecting solar Block?
"When you take over this realm, will you simply empty it, or will you just occupy it?"
"Of course, I'll take everything I can! I just exploited a loophole to gain control of this realm, but I can't be considered the true lord of it."
"Once that true lord sends reinforcements from the Dragon Clan, I definitely won't be able to hold out. So before that happens, I'll clear out a large amount of valuable items from this realm."
"Can it last ten days? I want to take away the Sun Domain Realm around the tenth day."
The Lord of Radiance paused for a moment, then continued.
"Of course it's possible, the lord won't be back for at least fifteen days, but what's the point? The God of War is right there..."
"Don't worry about that, I have a plan," ' Lai ' said confidently.
The Lord of Radiance sensed something was amiss. What could he possibly do against the Gods?
However, there was not much time left before He could speak, so He could only exchange a few words with ' Lai ' before ceasing to speak and expending his Divine Power.
On the other side of the Spirit Realm, in a domain ruled by Half-Dragon, this domain rejected all the Trial required by the Spirit Realm, and a layer of white light membrane rose from the domain's boundary.
Felicity, the lord of the Brilliant Dream, didn't know what this light membrane was, but after trying it, she realized that with this light membrane in place, she seemed unable to escape.
"Those stupid Half-Dragon who treat Lizard like ancestors, go back to the Dragon Clan and eat farmed roasted Lizard."
Felicity started by using a derogatory term within the Dragon Clan for those Half-Dragon. Although the Dragon Clan's relationship with Half-Dragon is generally good now, there are times when it is not.
Furthermore, the Dragon Clan race is unlikely to be a monolithic entity; there are always some Dragonkin who dislike Half-Dragon.
Felicity had no other opinion on this; in fact, before arriving in this Half-Dragon realm, she thought she would have a better feeling about Half-Dragon.
It came here to steal the Half-Dragon's Block. If you rob a bank, don't you think the bank is a good place?
However, after arriving here, a light membrane suddenly appeared above her head. At that time, Felicity was not alert and thought it was just some decoration.
But just as she was about to begin working on that Block, Felicity realized something was wrong.
Why are there hundreds of Half-Dragon surrounding this Block, each wielding a weapon, and leading them are two third-tier Half-Dragon who seem to be skilled fighters within their own tribe?
It didn't reveal its intention to seize this Block, nor would it let the news of its attempt to seize Block within the Dragon Clan reach the Half-Dragon. It couldn't understand how there could be such a powerful defensive force.
Despite this, these protective forces still couldn't stop Felicity. The Brilliant Dream Brilliant Dream held considerable weight in the entire Spirit Realm, and as its lord for over three hundred years, Felicity hadn't held that position for nothing.
The Spirit Realm bestowed upon it immense power, and even though this was not Brilliant Dream, these Half-Dragon still could not stop it from taking this realm.
Felicity still didn't make a move, because of the White Barrier on her head.
Realizing something was wrong, Felicity simply captured a few First Order Half-Dragon and got the answer from them.
This thing was specially traded from the Alliance's Law Domain to prepare for unforeseen circumstances; it can greatly enhance the realm's internal defenses.
Once this is activated, the Domain Lord will be protected by the domain itself, preventing the special situation where someone could break into the domain, kill the lord, and then claim the domain for themselves.
As for why they did this, this is what the half -Half-Dragon said.
"Someone is eyeing a newly produced Block of ours, and we have no choice but to do this to prevent it from being stolen."
Upon hearing this, Felicity was greatly alarmed. How could her plan have been discovered by these Half-Dragon before it could even be implemented? Coupled with the device of the Law Domain, it would be difficult for her to obtain the Block.
Only after careful investigation did Felicity realize that she had been wrong. It was true that the Half-Dragon were afraid that someone would steal their Block, but the one they were guarding against was not them.
"Followers of the Lord of Radiance..."
Felicity knew this very well, it knew it all too well, because this was its enemy, the Astral Realm being that was supposed to breed with the Lizard.
At the same time, it wasn't too surprised that these Half-Dragon weren't very wary anymore.
Felicity's reputation for seizing Block is mostly limited to the Dragon Clan, while the Lord of Radiance has been seizing Block from all over the Spirit Realm.
In response, Felicity blinked and slowly said:
"Take me to your elders. As a friendly Dragon Clan, I'm willing to help you capture that lizard... that shameless thug."
Philly's own purpose has not yet been revealed, so she can use the reputation of the Dragon Clan to 'help' her Dragon Clan friends.
This may take some time, but that's okay. It can't leave now anyway, so it has plenty of patience to hide its purpose.
And when the follower of the Lord of Radiance is captured and the protective shield is removed, that will be its time to act.
"Maybe we can use some methods to pin the blame for the missing Block on the Lord of Radiance, and get some revenge on our enemies," Felicity thought to herself.
