A moment later, feedback appeared on the crystal ball.
[The requested information is top secret and cannot be accessed.]
This message appeared for less than a second before being immediately overwritten by a second message.
[The wizard in the query is a holder of the Special-Class Wizard Medal. Query permitted.]
[The inquiry fee is 10,000 energy crystals. Payment details can be viewed here.]
When Leo saw the top-secret information, he couldn't help but feel excited, because he knew he had encountered a great opportunity.
Those things that can be classified as top secret are at least world-class, on par with the World Lord!
The mere thought of the 10,000 yuan inquiry fee made Leo's lips tremble and twitch.
He's not rich right now, and 10,000 energy crystals is a staggering price.
There was no other way; the golden pool was crucial to his recovery, and now it was being called top secret, so he had to find out the truth.
He reached into the Shadow Space and retrieved the only five thousand energy crystals he had, then took out a large pile of materials to make up the query fee of ten thousand energy crystals, only then was he qualified to continue the query.
All the materials and energy crystals were teleported away, and the information Leo wanted appeared on the crystal ball.
[The golden pool of water in the query represents world energy, the most primal power born from the revival of the World Origin Will. The space it inhabits Land of Rules encountered only by third-level lifeforms when they advance to the Level-Four World Lord. Once assimilated, a third-level lifeform will ascend to the World Lord.]
Leo stared wide-eyed at the brief message on the crystal ball. Every word on it seemed to explode in his mind like a bomb, leaving him dazzled and incredibly excited.
Although I knew that the opportunity I had encountered was extraordinary, after all, information that could be classified as top secret by the wizarding civilization must be extraordinary, I did not expect it to be this extraordinary!
The golden pools he encountered were actually the Land of Rules of the New Earth, the place where World Lord were born, and those golden pools were the most primal power of the New Earth. No wonder they could repair his damaged origin.
"But why did the World Will on the New Earth choose me to be its World Lord?"
After the initial excitement subsided, Leo frowned slightly, feeling very confused about the New Earth's decision to choose him as the World Lord. First of all, he was not born or raised on the New Earth New Earth; he had only been New Earth for seventy years, making him a typical alien life form.
Aside from being the strongest and the only Level 3 life form on the New Earth, it seems he doesn't meet any other criteria to become the New Earth's World Lord.
"Could it be that...?"
Leo suddenly thought of the wizarding rules he had promoted in the New World. Thirty years had passed since the public opening of wizarding schools, and he had made all of humanity believe in the existence of wizards. He had also trained Wizard Apprentice among them for seventy years and promoted more than one hundred people to become Official Wizard.
"Originally, the New Earth was nothing more than a low-level planet without any energy, not even qualifying as a miniature world,"
" World Consciousness had never existed before; it only came into being recently due to changes in energy."
"The instinct of the World Consciousness is also to pursue the greatest possible evolution. So, after seeing the changes I brought to the New Earth, the instinct made me the World Lord, bringing energy revival to the New Earth."
"Looking across the entire New Earth, I may be the only life form that can bring him hope for the next tens of thousands of years."
"To the consciousness of the New Earth, whether I am a life form born from the New Earth is not important; what matters most is that I can bring it the greatest benefit."
"That explains why my injuries healed..."
Leo's fingers unconsciously rubbed together. He was now thinking about how to make use of the Land of Rules of the New Earth. Those primordial powers were the restorative energy he lacked. With that energy, he could save hundreds of years of repair time.
For the New Earth, the Land of Rules is the heart of this planet, a place that only the World Lord can reach.
But for Leo, that place was a treasure trove for recovering from his injuries. If he used it well, he could not only recover from his injuries, but also make up for the progress he had missed over the years.
As for whether Leo's unilateral absorption of planetary energy without advancing to the World Lord will cause any harm to the New Earth.
The answer is definitely yes.
Before he left the New Earth, Tang Fei showed him a report indicating the emergence of unprecedentedly large typhoons, with 23 occurring at once, exceeding the capabilities of ordinary life forms.
Leo hadn't thought much of it at first, assuming it was just an ordinary natural disaster.
But now, after seeing the golden pool and the information about World Consciousness, Leo knew that all those unprecedented typhoons were caused by him.
It was because he absorbed the planet's energy, causing damage to the planet, that a massive natural disaster occurred.
Under normal circumstances, when a Level 3 life form absorbs planetary energy to advance to the World Lord, it will give back a certain amount of energy to the world, increasing the planet's energy concentration.
For the New Earth, as long as Leo can advance to the World Lord, the World Will will most likely evolve along with him, reaching a higher level.
Evolution is what the newly born World Consciousness of the New Earth most desires.
As a result, Leo absorbed the energy unilaterally without giving back, forcibly monopolizing the planet's energy. It would be good enough if the World Will didn't regress, let alone advance.
If Leo continues to absorb large amounts of planetary energy and fails to advance to the position of World Lord, the New Earth will inevitably become a world plagued by natural disasters.
If the golden pools of water formed from the energy of those planets were drained, the New Earth would become a dead planet.
"Heh, becoming World Lord is impossible, but I won't let go of the planet's energy."
Between the World Lord and the Stigmata Wizard, Leo would choose the Stigmata Wizard one hundred percent.
Although both appear to be at level four, they are vastly different.
The World Lord is completely bound to the world. The increase in power is more like locking oneself in a prison built by the world, and the upper limit of one's power is locked according to the level of the world.
Back then, even the level six God of Giants Kampas chose to cooperate with wizards and become a member of the Wizard Alliance in order to escape the Giant World.
Looking back now, he must have been very envious of the Stigmata Wizard in the Wizard World, who could travel everywhere and conquer whichever world they wanted.
Leo has a bright future ahead of him, and advancing to the Stigmata Wizard wouldn't be that difficult. How could he possibly confine himself to the New Earth and become the weakest Level-Four World Lord?
Besides, what's the difference between his current authority and that of World Lord?
There is no difference at all; he controls the entire New Earth and is the World Lord walks the earth, which is more free than being the true World Lord.
Leo's eyes were subtle. This newly formed World Consciousness was unaware of the wickedness of human nature; it was as innocent as Xiao Bai offering itself up!
Having figured out what was going on with the golden pool, Leo quickly returned to the Wizarding Academy, telling no one except Charlotte that he was back.
The wizarding academy is now thriving, with countless Gulu Beast running and playing, interspersed with hurried Wizard Apprentice. It is the most beautiful sight in Leo's eyes. This is all the foundation he has built, which will bring him unimaginable rewards in the future.
A floating island, three kilometers in diameter, floats above the academy; everyone can see this miraculous creation by looking up.
Every apprentice who has just arrived in the Wizard World is amazed when they see the floating islands in the air. They can hardly imagine how such enormous things can float in the air; it is simply a miracle!
Of course, once their strength increases, they will have this feeling: having seen many miracles, Little One floating island is nothing special.
Seventy years later, the Tree of Life has grown to over a thousand meters tall, with its thick trunk reaching a terrifying diameter of fifty meters.
The enormous canopy covers the entire floating island, keeping it perpetually in the shade of the Tree of Life.
In the center of the tree canopy, a 300-meter-long red fruit beats like a heart, absorbing a little energy from the ground with each beat.
Leo reached out and touched the trunk of the Tree of Life, sensing the surging upward energy flow within it, which traveled through the meridians inside the Tree of Life to all parts of his body.
The abundant energy within the Tree of Life allows it to grow rapidly at any time, transforming it into a terrifying plant.
Sensing Leo's presence, the Tree of Life excitedly shook its body; it had missed Leo dearly after seventy years.
As soon as the Tree of Life shook, the entire floating island trembled and emitted a terrifying cracking sound.
"Stop, listen to me, stop."
Leo was startled. The Tree of Life was no longer the one or two hundred meters or one thousand meters Tree of Life it once was. Its root system had enveloped the entire floating island. Rather than saying that it was planted on the floating island, it would be more accurate to say that the floating island had become part of the Tree of Life.
Every breath of the Tree of Life has a significant impact on the floating island. If it were to sway recklessly now, it could shatter the entire floating island.
With Leo's comforting words, the Tree of Life quieted down, but still managed to send down a few branches that wrapped around Leo, like a child waiting for Leo to hug and lift it up high.
Even if he was lifted up high, Leo was simply restoring his Bloodline Power and transforming into the Vengeance Giant. The one who was lifted up was the Tree of Life towards him, not him towards the Tree of Life.
Leo had placed the broken Godslaying Staff in the core of the Tree of Life, hoping to fuse the two and obtain a new staff.
