The news of Myriad Beasts World Cluster had already reached every junior wizard in the Wizard World ninety years ago, even the Wizard Apprentice at the Atomic Control Academy knew about it.
Ninety years is enough time for every young wizard to prepare!
In their eyes, the all-out war between the Returning Breath World Cluster and the Hexi Corridor was still a distant history from thousands of years ago, a turning point in history that brought opportunities to countless people.
Their greatest regret is that they were born too late to experience the feast of war.
To this day, the academy's exhibition hall still preserves a large number of puppet specimens, all of which tell the story of the cruelty of wars between World Cluster and the enormous benefits gained after victory.
According to the academy's history, the Atomic Control Academy originally had a territory in the Returning Breath World, but it was later sold off by the great Atomic Control Stigmata Great Wizard who deemed it useless.
Now that all-out war has begun again, the young wizards also hope to gain merit in this war and change their fate.
Although the death rate in wars between World Cluster is very high, even great Stigmata Wizard cannot guarantee their safety; hundreds of Stigmata Wizard perished in the last war.
On the battlefield, the number of lowly wizards like them who die is never just one or two, but hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions.
But their enthusiasm for participating in the war remained undiminished, because they all knew that it would be difficult to achieve their promotion through ordinary means.
Experiments, materials, energy crystals—each of these were expensive items they couldn't afford. Only by gaining merit in war could they obtain these materials and change their fate.
Besides, do people only die in wars between World Cluster?
Other missions are equally dangerous, and many wizards die each year.
However, when they were eager to join the war, they were told that the academy was not participating in this all-out war.
Why didn't you participate?
The junior wizards couldn't understand why the great Atomic Control Stigmata Great Wizard, Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard such immense power, wouldn't participate in this all-out war.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Do you expect me to go directly to the vice dean and ask him?"
Faced with the young wizards' lack of understanding, the second-level academy teacher angrily rebuked them.
These young wizards, who have never participated in expeditions or witnessed a real battlefield, are living too comfortably and have no idea of the cruelty of war.
After reading a few history books and studying a few war chronicles, they think that war is what they see, and they always believe that they are the protagonists of the world and that they can gain the greatest glory as long as they go to the battlefield.
Little did they know that war is far more brutal than they imagined, and there are never any protagonists on the battlefield.
Most wizards who died on the battlefield never even saw what their opponents looked like, or knew who killed them.
The aftershocks of a battle between high-level life forms can easily kill all low-level life forms from a great distance.
The destruction of an entire world is an easy task for high-level life forms.
These young wizards thought war was their chance to shine, but they didn't know that none of the wizards who had experienced the last all-out war with the Returning Breath World did want to go through it again.
In other words, they were lucky to be born within the academy's territory, where they were protected by the great Atomic Control Stigmata Great Wizard.
If they had been born in other academy territories, such naive ideas would have died countless times over.
When the last war ended, so many academies were gone. It wasn't just a matter of a few wizards dying; it was the complete annihilation of Stigmata Wizard from the lowest First-Level Wizard to the highest level.
No new academies have appeared in the surrounding territory since their academy's founding. Haven't these young wizards considered the reasons for this?
Just as the Level Two Wizard were marveling at how comfortable life was for newly promoted Level One Lesser Wizard, unaware of the harsh realities of the world, a piercing warning sound suddenly rang out over the academy.
Accompanied by a piercing warning sound, a huge token projection appeared above the academy, and the intense energy fluctuations drew the attention of all the wizards.
"This is... a war mobilization order!!"
The Level Two Wizard teacher's pupils trembled as he stared at the enormous elemental token appearing in the sky. He had already issued an order not to participate in the all-out war in the Myriad Beasts World, so why was a war mobilization order being issued now?
Has the great Atomic Control Stigmata Great Wizard changed his mind and decided to join this war?
"We have a chance."
Unlike the shock of the Level Two Wizard teachers, the Level One Lesser Wizard were flushed with excitement. They had not participated in any external wars since their promotion, and now that they had a good opportunity, they were determined to do their best.
Having distinguished themselves among so many Wizard Apprentice and risen to become Official Wizard, it's time for them to step out of the Wizard World and strive to spread the glory of Great Wizard!
"All wizards of level one and above from the Atomic Control Academy, except for some teachers, will participate in this expedition, which will take place ten years from now. Please prepare accordingly."
Vice Dean Shi Xiang's voice echoed across the academy, his three consecutive cold pronouncements instantly making all the Wizard Consciousness the expedition was truly about to begin.
The Atomic Control Academy has not initiated any expeditions for many years. If the academy's wizards want to participate in expeditions, they can only go to places like the Tower of Elements to perform mandatory missions that are required every century.
Unexpectedly, the academy suddenly issued a war mobilization order today, and they noticed that the expedition would take place ten years from now.
"Isn't this the time of the all-out war against the Myriad Beasts World? Are we really going to have to participate in this all-out war?"
One of the wizard teachers murmured a question in a low voice, seemingly puzzled.
The instant the Atomic Control Academy issued its war mobilization order, countless messages were sent from the academy and received throughout the entire Wizard World.
Atomic Control Wizard demiplane.
Yaoyao, perched on Leo's shoulders and clutching the crystal ball, said to Leo, "The order has been given to Shi Xiang. Ten years from now, we will set off with all the little wizards."
Leo nodded, then looked at Black Soluo behind the spatial rift in front of him and asked again, "Are you really sure you can handle this?"
"You still don't trust me? If I say I have a way, then I have a way."
Black Soluo clutched a thin, yellow book in his hand, a smug smile on his face, but behind him lay a world on the verge of destruction.
Accompanied by endless wails, lava erupted, and the earth ripped apart...
Countless souls are flying out of the world, like weary birds returning to their nests, and are entering the yellow book in Black Soluo's hands.
A tiny yellow worm, no bigger than a thumb, crawled out of the yellow book and respectfully said to Leo, "Hello, Lord Leo, I am Little Bookworm No. 003. I'm so sorry to have troubled you."
"It's nothing, helping you brothers reunite is what I should do."
Leo looked at the respectful and polite Little Bookworm No. 003 and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Black Soluo went to the world of Little Bookworm No. 003 after they captured the World Tree.
It took nearly three hundred years to complete this vast world, and they have just found Little Bookworm No. 003.
From this moment on, only two Little Bookworm, numbers 004 and 005, remain to be found.
"If those wretched giant mudskippers hadn't sealed and hidden Xiao Sanzi, I wouldn't have had to search for him for so long. It's infuriating!"
Black Soluo was furious that he had taken too long. This large world was extremely powerful. Because of the lack of cooperation from Little Bookworm No. 003, they had sealed Little Bookworm No. 003 away hundreds of thousands of years ago, hoping that their descendants would be able to subdue this cosmic treasure.
But even after Black Soluo arrived, none of them could subdue the Xiao Sanzi.
Black Soluo had been lurking in their world for a long time, trying to find Xiao Sanzi's whereabouts, but Xiao Sanzi was hidden too well and there was no trace of him at all.
Even if you arrest and torture those level-six gods who know the information, you still won't find any trace of Xiao Sanzi.
Ultimately, unable to completely destroy the world, they searched inch by inch, and it took them hundreds of years to find Xiao Sanzi.
"I dare say that the reason they entrust this matter to me is because of Xiao Sanzi's abilities. As long as I inform the Supreme Lord of the Returning Breath World, they will cooperate with me."
Black Soluo proudly showed off the yellow book in his hand to Leo. He wouldn't have dared to say such a thing before finding Xiao Sanzi, but now that he knew Xiao Sanzi's abilities, he dared to assure Leo that the things troubling Leo were nothing to Xiao Sanzi.
What are your abilities?
Leo didn't have time to look through Black Soluo's memories before asking Xiao Sanzi directly.
"My lord, my ability is to absorb souls," Little Bookworm No. 003 replied obediently.
Leo frowned slightly; this was exactly the same ability as the Endless Pot.
Seeing Leo frown, the Little Bookworm No. 003 immediately became nervous and hurriedly added, "As long as the souls I absorb retain even a tiny bit of their original essence or a tiny fragment, I can completely repair myself as long as there is enough energy."
Upon hearing Xiao Sanzi's words, Leo Xiteng stood up abruptly, staring directly at Little Bookworm No. 003, and asked, word by word, "To what extent can it be repaired?"
"Completely repaired, exactly the same as before."
Little Bookworm No. 003 seemed not to have expected Leo's reaction to be so strong. It was so frightened that half of its body merged into its original yellow book, leaving only its head sticking out. It looked at Leo cautiously, like a frightened kitten.
He didn't quite understand why Leo was reacting so strongly!
Leo closed his eyes, and a terrifying inhalation sound came from his nostrils. Two gusts of wind seemed to rise on the demiplane, and all the air was forcibly sucked into Leo's stomach to suppress his excitedly beating heart.
"Not only can it completely repair the body, but you also don't have to worry about being controlled, ensuring the soul's independence."
"How's this ability?"
Black Soluo gently touched Xiao Sanzi to soothe his frightened body, then looked at Leo triumphantly.
"Very good. If the Supreme Lord of the Returning Breath World knew you had such abilities, he would definitely side with us in the early stages."
Leo's gaze was like lightning as he looked at the yellow book in Black Soluo's hand. With the Little Bookworm No. 003, it seemed that the conditions for resurrecting Alice had been met. Now, all that was missing was for Black Soluo to enter the World Land of Origin, ascend to the Supreme Lord, and find the origin of Alice's soul.
