The earth trembled violently from a minor earthquake, and a rumbling sound echoed throughout the world.

It seems as if an unimaginably enormous monster is churning underground, trying to burst forth and turn the world upside down.

Leo couldn't see where the tear was, but he guessed it was somewhere on the front lines, where a tear could wipe out the entire traitor army.

The air smelled of sulfur and some heavy metals because the volcano erupted underground, tearing through the strata and bringing some heavy metals to the surface.

As for the changes in rules mentioned by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, Leo truly did not perceive them. No matter how wide he opened his eyes or how finely he sensed with his mental power, he only perceived the turbulent changes in the air and the increased concentration of various particles in the air.

The tearing of the earth's strata continues, and a faint red light can be seen in the distant sky, providing a precious glimmer of light to the darkness-shrouded world and allowing the naked eye to gain a dim view, indicating that the underground volcanic eruption has intensified.

If you were there in person, you would witness a spectacular volcanic eruption covering an incredibly vast area, reaching tens of thousands of meters above the ground.

A volcanic eruption of a magnitude annihilation!

Leo looked up at the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard and found that the Undying Body was staring intently at the distant sky, the location of the volcanic eruption, with a thoughtful expression, as if he had gained some insights.

As for Leo, he was completely bewildered and still didn't sense anything.

There have been no changes to the rules!

Just then, from the darkness that had been heavily obscured by the sky, a streak of silver light suddenly appeared in the distant sky, tearing a silver ray through the black curtain that covered the entire world.

"Wizards, you dare to capture even my people? You've got some nerve!"

The undisguised, thunderous roar of anger sounded like the wrath of a god, unleashing punishment upon the entire world.

"Hehehe, knowing we are wizards, you still dare to come here. Now that you're here, you're not leaving either."

Another voice echoed in the sky, and amidst the evil laughter, the black curtain in the sky instantly churned, engulfing the silver light that had just torn through the curtain into darkness.

"Aaaaah, wizard, how dare you...?"

At this moment, the voice of the silver light's owner was filled with fear and panic, as if he had suffered a great disaster and was enduring immense pain.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Why don't you shout even louder and see if those people behind you dare to come and save you."

In the ears of the master of darkness, it seemed that the master of silver light's fearful cries were the most delicious sounds in the world. He continued to ravage and bully him, making him scream and shout, in order to obtain the greatest pleasure.

"This is...?"

Everything that happened was beyond Leo's imagination. How could there be another hostile Supreme Lord? There was no information about this Supreme Lord in any of the previous intelligence reports.

Didn't Purple Flame tell you?

Hearing Leo's surprised voice, the Undying Body looked down at Leo with a puzzled expression. In his memory, Leo should know about this matter.

"No..."

Leo shook his head in confusion. The memories transmitted to him by the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard were only those from when he was controlled by the Black Skull, as well as the basic knowledge of the World Lord. There was no other classified information.

"It seems that Black Skull is quite wary; the puppets he controls are all on guard."

"Didn't Black Skull have a summoned companion from another world? That companion is actually the World Lord a World Cluster. Black Skull's betrayal is largely due to him. Now you know why there's a second Supreme Lord!"

Although the Undying Body didn't reveal much detailed information, those few words alone explained why a second Supreme Lord would appear.

Leo's mind was a bit overwhelmed. He had initially thought it was just a simple betrayal, but he hadn't expected so many secrets to be hidden behind it.

World Cluster

It is the highest level in the world classification system of wizarding civilizations, with the Wizard World as the benchmark.

World Cluster is defined as one that gives birth to Supreme Lord and governs a certain number of smaller worlds around it.

On the surface, this rebellion appears to be merely a betrayal by Black Skull, but in reality, it is clearly a clash between two World Cluster!

Leo recalled a quote he had seen on Earth: "Every civilization is a hunter with a gun; a civilization that exposes its location will inevitably be attacked."

While this rule may not apply to all civilizations, it is absolutely applicable to highly aggressive wizard civilizations.

Now that both World Cluster are aware of each other's existence, the two Supreme Lord in the sky only exchanged a single sentence, but it was clear that they had gained some understanding of each other.

Clearly, this is not the first time the two worlds have clashed; there have been many times before.

The next thing to happen is obvious: it will inevitably be a war to the death.

The war between two World Cluster is a clash of countless worlds and a battle of countless lives.

The scale of the devastation was incomparable to any expedition that had taken him to one or two worlds. Just imagining the horrific scenes sent chills down Leo's spine.

Even at his peak, he was only a Level Three Great Wizard with an attack power of 80,000, which would carry some weight in a mission in an ordinary expeditionary world.

However, in a war between World Cluster, Leo didn't know how long he could survive.

The Undying Body seemed to sense the fear emanating from Leo. "This is only the first contact. Who knows how many years it will be before the official war begins? Besides, the two World Cluster so far apart and so large. It won't start fighting for at least several thousand years."

"Your worries now are completely unnecessary. You might die before the war even starts. Why worry about something so far in the future?"

Leo forced a smile. Although he knew the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard was trying to comfort him, the words of comfort still sounded so...

Having explained the general situation, the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard looked up and continued gazing at the sky, as if admiring the most beautiful scene.

Leo looked up at the sky, but still couldn't see anything.

Two weeks later, the earthquake was still raging, the smell of sulfur in the air was so strong it was pungent, and volcanic ash drifting from the distant horizon made the whole world look gray, as if we had returned to the Rota World.

The darkness in the sky was still there, and even the owner of that silver light was still there, though he continued to shout and curse with a somewhat weak voice.

"It's over. Soon we can return to the Wizard World."

The Undying Body vanished again with a single step, leaving Leo standing there, completely bewildered.

Leo had planned to find an opportunity to inquire about the changes in the rules when the darkness disappeared, but the Undying Body gave him no chance and vanished without a trace.

Just after the Undying Body disappeared, the darkness in the sky quickly vanished, and sunlight once again shone upon the world. However, the heavy volcanic ash completely blocked out the sunlight, leaving the entire world still pitch black.

Yaoyao appeared on Leo's shoulder, looking around the pitch-black world in surprise. If Leo hadn't been there, he would have thought he was still in the Shadow World.

What did you see in the Shadow World?

Yaoyao never appeared because Leo had banished her to the Shadow World. Leo wanted to use Yaoyao's perspective from the Shadow World to see the battle Supreme Lord from another world.

"I saw the whole world split in two, and all the modified slaves, Black Skull and the others, and that incredibly bright guy who didn't need lights on in the dark, were all sucked into a tower."

"I've been inhaling that shiny thing for ten days straight; it's so hard to inhale."

Leo nodded. The shrewd fellow Yaoyao mentioned was the Supreme Lord of the other World Cluster, and it seemed he had also been captured.

"Not all of them. Half of the shadow escaped. His shadow looked too strange, and I couldn't be sure what his real body looked like. Apart from him, the rest were all sucked into the tower," Yaoyao said softly.

"A tower? What kind of tower?" Leo asked, focusing on the key point.

"It's just an ordinary seven-story wizard tower, except it can absorb half a world and hundreds of billions of lives."

Yaoyao used her little paws to describe to Leo what the tower looked like; it was just an ordinary wizard tower.

"Is it the Tower of Elements Supreme Lord?" Leo murmured.

The Supreme Lord uses a tower, and Leo can only associate it with the location of his Wizard World, the Tower of Elements. Apart from this keyword, Leo has no other better guesses.

"What else did you see?"

Yaoyao spread her little paws out, "That's all, that's all."

"You've worked hard. Get ready, we'll be heading back soon. Say goodbye when you need to," Leo said.

"Okay." Yaoyao vanished instantly.

Yaoyao left, Leo quickly wrote down everything that had just happened, as well as the information Yaoyao had provided.

He discovered that information about the Supreme Lord would become blurred if it lingered in his mind for a while, and would disappear completely if left for too long.

If you want to record information about the Supreme Lord, you can only do so in this book.

Leo had completely forgotten everything about the Supreme Lord Leo had spoken with last time, except for the deal they had agreed on. He couldn't remember anything—his appearance, his voice—it was all a blur.

Record everything that happened today meticulously. At the very bottom of the record, Leo's notes emphasize. "Supreme Lord, embodied rules, impossible to remember!"

Ten days after the darkness in the sky disappeared, the command center issued an order that people could return to the Wizard World.

Returning is simple; it only requires using a spatial channel that divides the space.

However, there was a small hiccup: a considerable army of modified slaves, numbering around one hundred million, remained in the divided space. They needed to return and clear them out to prevent damage to the Wizard World itself.
