Ch. 561Civilizational Stalemate

Green’s Abyssal Zerg survived the Player Civilization’s suicide attack, and the Wizard and Player Civilizations settled into a prolonged stalemate while expanding into nearby World Clusters. In March Space, Green was caught in a spatial transfer as he studied a Rune Array and resolved to confront the Mystic Realm’s Anomalies.

  • The Symbiote Avatar reorganized the Abyssal Zerg Hive to survive the Player Civilization’s attack, leaving a small amount of Abyssal Moss that Green hoped would infiltrate the enemy’s World Cluster.
  • Over several years, the Wizard Civilization and the Player Civilization repeatedly probed each other’s World Clusters but could not defeat one another.
  • Both civilizations expanded rapidly, conquering nearby World Clusters that could not withstand their attacks.
  • In March Space, Green watched a humanoid carve a Mystic Realm Rune Array that he believed would open a passage to the Yellow Sand World.
  • As Green recorded the Rune Array’s spatial fluctuations, White Fog filled the area and transferred him to unfamiliar, damp ground.
  • Green recognized that the Mystic Realm had selected him for confronting danger and decided he needed to explore its Anomalies to learn its truth.

Ch. 562The Spacetime River

Green explored a fogbound Mystic Realm and discovered a river that embodied spacetime. After touching its water and capturing part of its Spacetime Model, he decided to follow the river upstream to find the Mystic Realm’s origin.

  • Green tested the fog and learned that its special particles suppressed spatial teleportation and extraordinary powers, but confirmed he could still return to March Space.
  • Green found that the fog had vanished around a seemingly endless river and followed it upstream across desolate ground.
  • Green discovered a recently dead Fourth-Level Cactus creature and noticed that its apparent time of death did not match how long he had spent approaching it.
  • Green concluded that time had been twisted and that the river was time made manifest.
  • Green touched the river, received a torrent of fragmented scenes and memories, and had the Chip capture 0.3% of the Spacetime Model.
  • Green identified the river as the Mystic Realm’s Spacetime River and set out to follow it to its source and obtain the realm’s Origin.

Ch. 563SkyNet's Blockade

Green explored the Mystic Realm’s Spacetime River, collected information from the dead, and learned that the Skynet Civilization had built a powerful upstream blockade. Unable to risk fighting its Eighth-Level defenders, he set a Spacetime Marker and left, postponing his journey toward the Mystic Realm’s Origin.

  • Green realized that he had to keep advancing through the Spacetime River or risk being cast out when another lifeform claimed the Origin, though his main body could still pull his avatar to safety.
  • Green continued upstream, collected information and equipment from corpses, and found a Blue Crystal Orb containing the exploration log of the Void Conqueror Civilization’s advance team.
  • Green learned from the log that the Heavenly-Net Machine Civilization had built a Fortress across the river and that its blockade had overwhelmed earlier explorers.
  • Green recognized the Fortress as a threat backed by the Skynet Civilization’s powerful reinforcements and decided to leave rather than challenge its defenders.
  • Green set a Spacetime Marker with the Blue Crystal Orb and used the Golden Clock and Silver Möbius Ring to step through spatial ripples.

Ch. 564Becoming Stronger

Green returned from the Spacetime River and concluded that the Mystic Realm was too dangerous to explore while the Five Great Civilizations competed there. He resolved to pursue another route to the Eighth Level, weighing three breakthrough plans.

  • Green returned to the Rune Array with a Spacetime Mark that confirmed his journey through the Spacetime River had been real.
  • Green decided that he needed to advance to the Eighth Level while avoiding the Five Great Civilizations' attention in the Mystic Realm.
  • Green considered completing his Spacetime Rule Model, perfecting his World Law Model with Errant Lifeform remains, or using the conventional Wizard method through Mental Power.
  • Green recognized that the conventional method was reliable but would take about one hundred million years, while the other two plans carried different obstacles and uncertainties.
  • Green resolved to pursue a breakthrough plan despite the difficulties.

Ch. 565Three Plans at Once

Green began three projects at once: his main body meditated while merged with the Bloodline Fusion Realm, his Symbiote Avatar tested devouring Errant Lifeform Laws, and his Hunter Avatar expanded into the Mystic Realm and rebuilt the Random Spacetime Summoning Formation. The chapter left Green preparing the formation to contact unfamiliar worlds and improve his Spacetime Rule Model.

  • Green assigned meditation to his main body, Law Model research to his Symbiote Avatar, and Mystic Realm expansion to his Hunter Avatar.
  • Green's main body merged with the Bloodline Fusion Realm and began meditating as the world's growth accelerated.
  • Green's Symbiote Avatar released skeletons in the Abyss, where green worms devoured the bones and then dissolved into pus.
  • Green's Hunter Avatar opened a portal from March Space and sent a silver-white werewolf and other Abyssal Zerg through it.
  • Green ordered the Abyssal Zerg to expand across the Mystic Realm's First Layer while avoiding spaces already occupied by others.
  • Green began building the Random Spacetime Summoning Formation to reach unfamiliar worlds and perfect the Spacetime Rule Model.

Ch. 566The Microscopic Abyssal Moss

As Green grew stronger, the Abyssal Moss infiltrated the Sinil World and evolved into a virus at the Planck Scale, devastating Sea-Blue Star while also accelerating humanity’s development. By the time humanity reached another world, the microscopic moss began spreading through the Player Civilization’s World Cluster.

  • Green expanded the Bloodline Fusion Realm, evolved his avatars, and continued building his power and knowledge.
  • The Abyssal Moss infiltrated a mobile Low-Grade World and entered the Sinil World, adapting into a low-consumption cocoon.
  • A red meteorite carrying the moss reached Sea-Blue Star, where the moss evolved into an ultramicroscopic virus beyond the world’s defenses.
  • A plague killed vast numbers of Sea-Blue Star’s population, but children born after its arrival displayed extraordinary intelligence.
  • Humanity developed rapidly, reached the cosmos, and opened a gateway to another world in Azure Sea Calendar year 2000.
  • As humanity entered another world, the ultramicroscopic Abyssal Moss began spreading through the Player Civilization’s World Cluster.

Ch. 567The Wizarding World's Transformation

The Abyssal Moss secretly spread through the Player Civilization’s World Cluster, replacing its Cluster Consciousness with the Abyssal Will while Green remained too occupied to intervene. By the fifty-thousandth year of the Wizard Calendar, the war had settled into a stalemate as the Wizarding World expanded and the Bloodline Fusion Realm grew powerful enough to produce eight Guardian positions.

  • The Abyssal Moss spread from world to world through the Azure Sea Civilization, and the Abyssal Will quietly began replacing the Player Civilization’s Cluster Consciousness.
  • The Player Civilization and Wizard Civilization stopped launching major attacks after repeated probing assaults proved costly, leaving both sides massed along their borders.
  • The Player Civilization continued sending players into the Mystic Realm, while the Top-Tier Wizards kept searching it for ways to strengthen the Wizarding World.
  • The Wizards conquered nearly all neighboring World Clusters and drew an informal border with the Player Civilization as both expanded.
  • Infinite Blood and the Abyssal Zerg helped the Wizarding World conquer millions of worlds, which the Bloodline Fusion Realm absorbed and merged.
  • The Bloodline Fusion Realm developed eight Guardian positions, and five Guardians emerged, including two elite Abyssal Zerg lifeforms.

Ch. 568The Changes in Wizards, Part Two

The Wizarding World continued to change as its schools flourished, Ancient Wizards adapted to modern power systems, and World Guardians grew stronger. Otherworld Sovereigns who had joined the Wizard Alliance saw their civilizations’ systems transformed by Wizardry and become subordinate to the Wizarding World.

  • The five mainstream Wizard schools remained dominant, with the Extreme School attracting elite Wizards who sought the possibility of becoming Void Overlords or True Spirit Wizards.
  • Over thirty thousand years, new Seventh-Level Wizards emerged, while Ancient Wizards modernized their systems and late-awakening Wizards struggled to understand the changed world.
  • The World Guardians advanced to the Eighth Level as the Wizarding World grew stronger, and Children of Fortune competed for two remaining guardian positions through sacrificial rituals.
  • Otherworld Sovereigns who joined the Wizard Alliance paid the agreed price as Wizardry transformed their worlds’ power systems into branches of Wizardry.
  • The civilizations ruled by those Otherworld Sovereigns became entirely subordinate to the Wizarding World.

Ch. 569Contradictions Emerge

As the Wizarding World entered the Stock Era, conflicts over scarce resources threatened to deepen between wizards from different periods. Green was awakened from meditation and agreed to attend the fifth Wizard Alliance Assembly, where factions prepared to argue over resource distribution.

  • The Wizarding World reached its expansion threshold and entered the Stock Era, intensifying disputes over limited resources.
  • The Guardians interrupted Green’s meditation with an urgent message and called the fifth general meeting.
  • Green returned to the Bloodline Royal Court after thirty thousand years and received the summons from the Winter Guardian.
  • Green considered whether a system like the Player Civilization’s Starry Sky Mainframe could manage resources, but rejected imposing equal distribution on wizards.
  • Green agreed to attend the assembly and ordered every faction to send representatives to observe.
  • News of the fifth Wizard Alliance Assembly spread, and factions prepared to secure benefits for themselves.

Ch. 570Wizard Alliance Conference (I)

The Wizarding World prepared the Hunter World for the 5th Wizard Alliance Assembly, whose resource-allocation agenda drew interest from member worlds and distant civilizations. As the meeting approached, numerous High-Grade Worlds sought Alliance membership to avoid conquest by Player Civilization, leaving the wizards to add their applications to the conference agenda.

  • The Wizarding World chose the Hunter World as the assembly venue and began strengthening its defenses after Player Civilization attacked the border.
  • Wizards transformed the Hunter World with construction and defensive improvements ahead of the meeting.
  • Delegations from allied Otherworld Sovereigns arrived to protect their worlds’ standing in the Wizard Alliance’s resource system.

Ch. 571Wizard Alliance Conference (II)

Otherworldly delegates gathered in the Hunter World for the Wizard Alliance conference as the chapter described the Alliance’s hierarchy and the privileges of its member worlds. Mary Manson arrived with the Aurora Ice Ocean Wizards and froze an Amethyst lifeform who tried to scan her, then demanded compensation from his clan.

  • Tess asked Kyle about the Hunter World, and he explained how the Silver Moon World gained influence and autonomy through its Sovereign’s service in the war against the Player Civilization.

  • Mary ordered the Amethyst Clan to pay compensation after the conference, then led her Wizards toward the palace.

Ch. 572Wizard Alliance Conference (Three)

Wizards from across the Wizarding World arrived in the Hunter World, and the display of powerful forces persuaded many Otherworld Sovereigns that joining the Wizard Alliance was their only hope. Ten years later, with the Alliance Assembly three days away, the attendees had taken their assigned seats in the palace, including worlds preparing to apply for membership.

  • Small and medium-sized Wizarding World forces arrived, impressing the Otherworld beings with their many Fourth-Level Wizards.
  • Wizards from the great coasts arrived, including groups led by Seventh-Level Wizards, and the Otherworld Sovereigns resolved to join the Wizard Alliance.

  • Green's presence secured places among the Seventh-Level forces for the Extreme School and Celesternil Academy.
  • Worlds that had not yet joined the Wizard Alliance occupied a separate section near the front, ready to apply for membership.

Ch. 573Meeting Concluded

Green opened the Fifth Wizard Alliance Assembly, exposed and killed Player Civilization spies, and established rules for prospective members and an evaluation committee. The meeting passed or rejected numerous proposals before turning to the Wizarding World Resource Liquidity Crisis, which Green began addressing by having the Chip synthesize the submitted proposals.

  • Green arrived at the assembly and used Fate to identify and kill beings connected to the Player Civilization.
  • Green proposed an observation period and evaluation process for worlds seeking to join the Wizard Alliance, and the assembly approved it.

Ch. 574Return

Green used the Chip’s plan to secure approval for the Academy Sacred Tower Rules, which would govern the Wizarding World’s inheritance and resource distribution. After the ten-year assembly ended, he returned to the Bloodline Fusion Realm and checked his attributes.

  • The Chip presented Green with a plan dividing responsibilities and resources among the Wizard ranks.
  • Green revealed the plan and used his overwhelming pressure to prevent opposition at the Wizard Alliance Assembly.
  • The Wizards approved the Academy Sacred Tower Rules, and Green assigned Bloodline Creatures to inspect their implementation.
  • The final proposal spread through the Wizarding World, exciting Low-Level Wizards without powerful backing.
  • Green returned to the Bloodline Fusion Realm, left the implementation details to Dimien, and asked the Chip to check his attributes.

Ch. 575Avatar Creation

Green weighed the risks of returning to the Spacetime Prison or entering the Mystic Realm and chose to test the Spacetime Prison first. He created a powerful avatar with a Sub-chip and prepared to send it there.

  • Green realized his rule models were progressing slowly and considered the Return Plan and entering the Mystic Realm with his true body.
  • Green chose to try returning to the Spacetime Prison, intending to test the Balance Law and retreat if necessary.
  • Green used the Ascension Device and Faith Force to create a powerful avatar from a wisp of soul and a drop of blood.
  • The avatar began rapidly aging when the altar broke, so Green installed a Sub-chip and supplied it with Immortal Particles.
  • Green's avatar regained its youth, and Green judged it strong enough to face Diases and enter the Spacetime Prison.

Ch. 576Returning Once More

Green prepared an armored avatar with extraordinary healing and strength, then opened a passage to the Spacetime Prison from beyond the World Cluster. The Balance Law did not react, and Green plunged into the passage, which vanished behind him.

  • Green tested his avatar’s regenerative vitality and equipped it with blue Law Armor made using World Force.
  • Green returned his original body to continue advancing the Extreme Meditation Method and sent most of his will to the avatar.
  • Green flew beyond the World Cluster and summoned a black Altar with a Crystal Orb to open a passage to the Spacetime Prison.
  • Green channeled energy through a white chain as the Altar’s runes formed a silver Möbius Ring and the Orb’s golden Flame grew.
  • The Balance Law showed no reaction as space shattered and a black passage opened above the Altar.
  • Green entered the passage, which swallowed the Altar and vanished.

Ch. 577Plain

Green returned to the Plain Region of the Spacetime Prison and found that Errant Lifeforms had settled around its borders while his old laboratory and treasure hoard remained intact. After securing the sun and surveying the Plain, he entered the laboratory barrier and examined radiation-adapted insects.

  • Green passed through the Spatial Passage and emerged over the Plain Region of the Spacetime Prison.
  • Green sent golden power from his Child of the Sun Bloodline into the sun, weakening its call.
  • Green sensed at least ten thousand Errant Lifeforms and buildings along the Plain's borders, as well as Treants guarding his old laboratory.
  • Green flew to the laboratory instead of capturing the Errant Lifeforms, recalling that he had ordered the Treants to preserve captured souls and corpses.
  • Green entered the barrier and found the laboratory ruined and crawling with pale insects that had adapted to its residual radiation.
  • Green scanned the insects and recorded their genetic information before flying toward the rear of the laboratory.

Ch. 578Beginning the Extraction

Green began extracting and studying the preserved Errant Lifeforms in the cocoons, estimating that processing them would take five thousand years. Meanwhile, the Errant Lifeforms in the city sensed spatial fluctuations inside the Plains Space, and Eugene ordered a discreet investigation.

  • Green counted about a hundred thousand cocoons beneath the gigantic tree and estimated that processing their contents would take five thousand years.
  • Green opened a cocoon, enveloped the Flesh-Ball Monster inside with a white bubble, and collected data as runes drew a strange force from its body.
  • Errant Lifeforms guarding the city walls heard the transition bell and worried about the Region shifting and the danger of a beast tide.
  • Eugene told the gathered powerful Errant Lifeforms that the spatial fluctuations came from inside the Plains Space, not its edge.
  • The Six-Eyed Scorpion ordered an elite squad to investigate quietly to prevent panic among the tens of millions of Errant Lifeforms.

Ch. 579Everything as Usual

Three stealthy lifeforms explored the Plain after Master Eugene sensed a spatial fluctuation, but they found no changes and returned to the city. After further expeditions also found nothing, the leaders dismissed the fluctuation as an isolated incident and the Plain returned to normal.

  • Beiyinsu, Manstan, and a vampire set out to investigate the Plain, relying on their abilities to avoid detection and escape danger.
  • After seven days of cautious travel, the exhausted Beiyinsu persuaded the group to turn back, and the Trio Squad abandoned its exploration near the Plain's central region.
  • The trio reported finding no changes, and the city's leaders organized several more expeditions that reached the same conclusion.
  • The leaders deemed Master Eugene's sensed spatial fluctuation an isolated incident, and Eugene stopped investigating it.

Ch. 580Dreamland's Elusive Trail

Green discovered that the pink Flesh-Ball Monster came from the elusive Dream World and began using an instrument to search for a way to connect to it. He chose to explore with his Avatar, while monitoring the instrument and relying on the Spacetime Prison’s lack of Origin Force to limit the danger.

  • Green examined an instrument that rapidly sifted through spacetime fluctuations.
  • Green recalled that the pink Flesh-Ball Monster’s memories revealed it had come from the Dream World.
  • Green reviewed how the Dream World’s shifting nature and infection had made it difficult for Wizards to explore or reconnect with after the Ancient Era.
  • Green concluded that the Monster had escaped the Dream World as an Errant Lifeform, wandered through the Spacetime Prison, and been captured by the Treant in the Plain Region.
  • Green decided to use his Avatar to search for a connection to the Dream World because his main body was occupied and the Avatar offered a safer way to explore.
