After shooing Tang Fei away, he wanted to continue his research on the Shadow Space when suddenly a clap of thunder sounded overhead.
"Boom"
Leo subconsciously looked up and saw a bolt of lightning strike him directly above his head in the room.
Facing the lightning strike, Leo did not dodge at all. With a contemptuous smile on his lips, he let the lightning strike him. This little bit of damage wouldn't even hurt a hair on his head!
After striking Leo, the lightning disappeared immediately, showing no intention of engaging in a prolonged battle or continuing its attacks.
"Stingy," Leo said dismissively.
Clearly, this is the World Will still targeting him. Unable to launch a large-scale attack, they are tormenting him with these small-scale attacks.
In Leo's view, even if such a small attack were a thousand times stronger, it wouldn't hurt him. He didn't take the sneak attack to heart at all and continued to study his Shadow Space.
However, what happened next quickly made Leo abandon his contempt for the World Consciousness and even develop a certain fear.
" Leo, I'm back. I've quelled all the disasters in the world."
Yaoyao appeared on Leo's shoulder, boasting to Leo, but Leo stared blankly ahead, seemingly unaware of Yaoyao's return.
"You've been gone for three months, have you missed me?" Yaoyao saw that Leo didn't speak, and thought that Leo was still angry about him secretly sneaking into the Land of Rules to steal the World Origin Energy, so she rubbed her face against Leo in a coquettish manner.
"I..."
Just as Leo was about to reply to Yaoyao, a loud bang suddenly came from the roof.
"Boom"
Yaoyao looked at the roof with suspicion, and then clearly saw that the roof, which had been reinforced and was said to be so durable that it would not collapse for thousands of years, had actually been crushed by a large rock.
And the large rock that smashed the roof was hurtling towards him and Leo.
Leo waved his hand, and the power surged outwards, shattering the rock that was taller than a person and had crashed down the roof.
Although the stone shattered, the room was filled with stone dust.
"Sir, a sudden gust of wind blew a rock down from the mountaintop..."
Tang Fei's anxious voice rang out from outside the door, probably trying to warn Leo, but when she reached the door and saw the situation inside the room, her voice stopped abruptly.
She saw a large hole in the roof and the room full of stone dust.
"I'll pack it right away."
Tang Fei didn't seem too surprised and quickly took out her tools to start tidying up.
"You can pack your things, I'll move to another room."
Leo vanished the moment he finished speaking, reappearing in another room.
"You're so unlucky, you even got caught up in this." Yaoyao said to Leo with schadenfreude.
Yaoyao originally thought that Leo would argue with him, but this time Leo didn't say anything and had a worried look on his face.
"What happened?" Yaoyao asked, puzzled.
"I..."
Leo was about to speak again when another clap of thunder sounded overhead.
"Boom"
Yaoyao looked up curiously. Why was there thunder in the room?
Could it be that one of the wires was connected incorrectly, causing the electrical leak?
Leo didn't even look at it, and simply sat down on the recliner, letting the lightning from the void strike him.
This level of attack power naturally wouldn't harm Leo, but unexpectedly, the lightning struck the recliner beneath Leo, shattering it to pieces.
Leo plopped down on the ground!
Yaoyao: "..."
Leo stood up briskly, her face somewhat numb, too lazy even to sigh.
"This doesn't seem like just a coincidence of bad luck." Yaoyao noticed something was off. No one can have a string of bad luck. It's like being cursed by Lady Luck and then targeted by Lady Misfortune. People like that don't deserve to live.
"That World Will, deserving of a thousand cuts, I..."
Leo was seething with anger, but he couldn't tell anyone except Yaoyao, since only the two of them knew about the plan for New Earth.
Now that Yaoyao has returned, Leo recounted everything that had happened during this time.
Ever since Yaoyao left to lead the wizard army in disaster relief, Leo has been plagued by a series of misfortunes.
Targeted lightning strikes, sudden ground collapses while walking, inexplicable foul odors, poisonous water, insects falling into food right in front of him...
Leo suspected that if he went to poop, he might fall into the toilet. Luckily, he didn't need to poop!
Adding to the misfortune that happened today, with rocks falling from the mountaintop and smashing into the floorboards, Leo has experienced every kind of bad luck he hasn't encountered in a thousand years.
These trivial matters can't do anything to Leo; they can't even scratch his head. It's disgusting.
Leo had to devote some of his attention to dealing with these unexpected misfortunes.
At first, Leo looked down on the World Will's underhanded tactics, but he soon realized that he had underestimated the World Consciousness.
The World Consciousness has limited energy and cannot directly harm Leo, but it can control the entire world, so simple, minor adjustments are no problem for it.
A sudden gust of wind blew up, carrying some stinky dog farts, and a light rain fell, carrying some bird droppings with it.
The World Consciousness of New Earth is very clear: if I can't kill you, I'll disgust you to death; I won't let Leo have a good day.
Leo was angry and furious, but he didn't know how to get revenge.
World Consciousness has no physical form; it is a conceptual being that will only disappear if Leo destroys the entire world.
Leo naturally couldn't destroy the world, so the World Consciousness naturally gained the upper hand!
Dozens, even hundreds, of misfortunes befalling the area every day.
He could endure it for a day or two, but after three months, even Leo, with his strength as Level Three Great Wizard, was almost unable to withstand it.
I had only heard before that the Child of the Plane possessed extraordinary luck and could accomplish whatever they wanted.
Leo hasn't even enjoyed the treatment of Child of the Plane yet; he's already being treated like an enemy of the planes.
It's as if the whole world is against him; he's targeted wherever he goes.
Sometimes Leo wondered if he was hallucinating, feeling as if even the flowers and plants by the roadside were his enemies, wanting to pierce Leo with their own bodies.
"Damn, what do we do now?"
Yaoyao looked at Leo speechlessly, never expecting that the newly born World Consciousness of the New Earth would be so vengeful, and would think of using this method to retaliate against Leo.
The key point is that they can only passively endure the damage and cannot actively retaliate, because they themselves will have to bear the consequences of any damage caused by retaliating.
"We have no choice but to leave. What else can we do?" Leo said helplessly.
He had figured it out: as long as he left this world, everything would be fine. To put it bluntly, the World Consciousness here wanted to force him out so he would never come back.
As Leo and Yaoyao were talking, a bird outside the room suddenly panicked and crashed into the glass. The glass, which was supposedly very hard and could even stop cannonballs, was shattered by the bird.
The glass shattered and fell towards the ground.
A sudden gust of wind blew up, sending all the shards of glass that were about to fall to the ground hurtling towards Leo. The sharp glass seemed poised to give Leo a thorough dressing-down.
Leo swept his hand out, his aura surging, sending all the glass shards and the unfortunate bird flying.
That wasn't the end of it. Suddenly, an eagle with a wingspan of two meters flew in through the broken window, its sharp, metallic talons reaching for Leo without warning.
That bird was probably the eagle's prey, but Leo blasted it into a bloody mess. The eagle has come to seek revenge on Leo.
"Snort"
Leo let out a cold snort, instantly killing the eagle.
Yaoyao looked at the shattered window, the bird reduced to blood and foam, and the eagle killed by the shockwave, and was utterly convinced.
Don't be fooled by his recent return; in less than ten minutes, he has already been attacked in four different ways.
This kind of life is truly unbearable. If Leo stays here, he'll never have a peaceful day.
"Sir, I'll handle this."
Tang Fei, who had just finished cleaning another room, appeared at the crime scene with cleaning tools. She skillfully cleaned up all the clutter and then apologetically asked Leo to move to another room.
"Are there any intact rooms left?" Yaoyao asked curiously.
"Well... there should still be half a room that's intact," Tang Fei said awkwardly. During this time, Leo had suffered a series of misfortunes, which had also affected the rooms in the palace, causing problems to appear one by one.
"Go and send out a notice to all wizards above the Peak Wizard Apprentice, saying that New Earth needs to recruit three to four vice deans, and invite interested individuals to apply."
"As for compensation, it varies depending on ability. Peak Wizard Apprentice 1,000 Wizard Coin per year, Official Wizard 5 energy crystals per year. The minimum contract term is thirty years. Based on work performance, bonuses may be awarded for free passage through spatial channels."
Leo didn't want to stay on New Earth for Heavenly Capital longer. He now fully understood how powerful a World Will was; in his world, it was practically omnipotent.
"Yes, sir."
Tang Fei quickly issued a notice. During the three months of handling the aftermath, she also noticed something was amiss. After all, what good person would be constantly plagued by misfortune?
It was entirely expected that the dean would now recruit a vice dean and then leave himself!
Five days after the announcement, Leo returned to the Wizard World with Yaoyao and some of the Gulu Beast.
The disaster on the New Earth has not yet been completely quelled, and the help of wizards is still needed. Leo could not wait for those wizards and the Gulu Beast, so he opened a spatial passage and left the New Earth first.
"I'm not leaving again this time."
Leo, looking refreshed, addressed Charlotte. Back in the Wizard World, the feeling of being targeted on New Earth was gone. He felt relaxed and sprawled out on a deck chair, feeling incredibly comfortable. It had been a long time since he'd felt this comfortable.
