Xiao Si bowed to Leo, then pulled out a perfectly intact body with three tails from his body. The body was unharmed, and even its energy aura was at level three.
Leo directly inserted Benji's soul into his body. After a few breaths, the stiff and motionless Benji slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing I saw was Leo, and then I saw Yao Yao laughing Yaoyao.
"Master, Lady Yaoyao, didn't I die?"
Benji stared blankly at his intact body. His memory was still stuck at the moment of his death, when his soul was extracted by the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard.
How did he come back to life, and without a single injury?!
" Benji, you've been dead for over three thousand years. It was Leo and I who resurrected you." Yaoyao jumped onto Benji's head. This was his former exclusive spot, and he hadn't sat in such a comfortable position since Benji's death.
"Master, have I really been dead for that long? It feels like only a moment has passed." Benji stared blankly at Leo, realizing that he had actually been dead for over three thousand years.
He could still feel the racial bond of loyalty between himself and Leo, but Leo's aura made him almost afraid to look directly at him. The aura hidden in Leo's body seemed to be able to erase his life at any moment.
He understood that this was because his master's advancement to a higher level was too much for him to handle.
It seems he has been dead for a long time; he can no longer sense Leo's strength level.
He is level three.
The only level he could not sense was level five or higher!
"It's good that you're back. We're not the little wizards we used to be anymore. No one can bully us now."
Leo stroked Benji's body. Benji could no longer help him, but Benji had been with him since his apprenticeship, and this bond was something no one else could match.
As a low-level wizard, he survived countless near-death experiences thanks to Benji's protection.
"Hehe, your Gulu Beast Clan now occupies dozens of worlds and has a population of over hundreds of billions. Now that you, the Gulu Beast Ancestor, have returned, you'll be rich just from these descendants." Yaoyao couldn't help but laugh at the thought.
Under Leo's careful nurturing, the number of Gulu Beast has increased rapidly, with hundreds of millions reaching level three. Although Benji is of a higher generation, its strength among the Gulu Beast Clan is probably not even in the top 100 million.
"Hundreds of billions of Gulu Beast?"
Benji, who had not yet fully accepted the fact that he had been Yaoyao, was so shocked by Yaoyao's words that he couldn't close his mouth.
When he followed Leo, there were only a few thousand Gulu Beast. Back then, he personally took the lead in the breeding of the Gulu Beast Clan.
I never imagined that after dying and being resurrected, the race would have such a large population, occupying dozens of worlds.
His original dream was to occupy the miniature world he was born into, and now it seems that his dream has come true, and has far exceeded his original aspirations.
Good riddance!!
If he had known that dying once would lead to his current achievements, he would have died long ago!
" Benji, first get used to life after your resurrection, then I will promote you to World Lord. In a little while, Yaoyao will take you to see your descendants, and then you can choose a better world. Whichever world you like, you can become World Lord in that world," Leo said affectionately.
"Huh? The World Lord?"
Benji was completely dumbfounded. Was the World Lord a level he could even reach?
Their master has become incredibly powerful; he can even easily make promises to the World Lord.
It was absolutely worth dying for.
"Come on, I'll show you our current power; you've contributed to it too."
Yaoyao excitedly grabbed the still bewildered Benji and ran off. The world had changed so much that Benji would have a hard time adapting in a short period of time.
Through the transfer from the Shadow Plane, Benji saw his descendants.
Amidst the tearful and joyful reunion, Benji finally learned from Yaoyao's excited tone just how powerful his master had become.
Powerful, incredibly powerful.
He commands hundreds of worlds and a World Cluster, and controls countless World Lord, exceeding six thousand and soon to surpass ten thousand.
Besides these, there are also two avatars of the Supreme Lord.
Looking at Yaoyao, who was introducing herself with such pride, Benji asked in confusion, "Lady Yaoyao, what level is the Supreme Lord?"
"..."
This question stunned Yaoyao. He suddenly remembered that, according to the time of Benji's death, he had not yet come into contact with the Supreme Lord level.
Not only was the Supreme Lord of much of what he said, but even that was unknown to Benji.
Benji's memory is still stuck at the third level, a time gap of more than three thousand years between him and them.
At that time, their sights were only set on level three; they didn't even dare to dream of level four!
"Don't rush, I'll explain it to you slowly. Once you've adjusted to your current life, I'll treat you to some real luxury."
Yaoyao winked at Benji, looking every bit the wicked guy leading his best buddy upstairs.
It took Benji more than half a year to fill in the memory gaps from the period of his death.
Having learned of the betrayal of the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard, the death of the mistress Alice, the subsequent War of Returning Breath World, the advancement of Master Leo to level six, and the existence of two Supreme Lord.
And now its master has betrayed the Wizard World and is wanted by the Wizard World.
In his understanding, the horror of the Wizard World was beyond imagination, yet his master had completed the development of a typical World Cluster in just a few thousand years.
"My master has suffered so much these past years," Benji said, weeping.
Yaoyao: "..."
How could he not sense their miserable lives? They should be living very happily!
Have you chosen which world to visit?
Leo must fulfill his promise to Benji and help Benji ascend to the World Lord.
Although Benji is not yet at the third level limit, nor is it the best time for him to advance, Leo still chose to waste the World Origin Energy in order to repay Benji for his loyalty back then.
"Master, as long as I can stay by your side, I'll be happy with any world."
Benji still couldn't quite handle Leo and Yaoyao's arrogant behavior. The World Lord, who was once out of reach, had now become an object placed before him for him to choose from.
"Then there's the Tuhun Great World. As long as you cultivate diligently, reaching level six isn't impossible."
Different world sizes essentially determine the future hierarchy.
If Benji had chosen any small world at random, he would have remained a Level-Four World Lord for his entire life.
However, choosing a large-scale world provides the foundation for reaching level six.
Leo is never harsh on his own people.
"I will obey my master's will."
Benji grinned widely, and with just a simple sentence, it was clear that his master hadn't forgotten him.
The Tuhun Great World is one of only two Great Worlds under Leo's command.
Baturu had put in a lot of effort to conquer it. Of the World Lord there, only two surrendered quickly; the rest were all killed.
Leo snatched the Little Bookworm No. 001 back from Baturu. Under Benji's anxious gaze, the Power of World Origin of the Tuhun Great World was forcibly extracted by the Little Bookworm No. 001 and then violently poured into Benji's body.
"Ahhh"
With the powerful influx of energy, every cell is undergoing a frenzied transformation, far exceeding the limits that Benji can withstand.
Amidst suppressed, agonizing roars, Benji's aura surged wildly.
Red Little Bookworm No. 001, seeing Benji's limit, perfectly channeled the Power of World Origin into his body.
Little Bookworm No. 001's actions seem violent, yet they are also perfectly delicate; his actions are like a beautiful and precise surgical operation.
Leo stared directly at the transforming Benji; this was the first time he had ever watched the Little Bookworm No. 001, raise its life level from level three to level four.
From his perspective, Little Bookworm No. 001's abilities are extremely domineering.
The ascension of World Lord originally required the approval of the World Origin Will and a certain understanding of the Power of Laws.
But in the case of Little Bookworm No. 001, he forcibly extracted the Power of World Origin from the World Land of Origin.
It is the kind of forced extraction that resists the World Origin Will but has no effect.
It's equivalent to Little Bookworm No. 001 dominating the World Will in the Tuhun Great World, allowing him to take whatever he wants, however much he wants, while the will of the Tuhun Great World is powerless to resist.
Then, this power was forcibly injected into Benji's body; neither the World Will's approval nor any understanding of the Power of Laws was needed.
He would forcibly infuse these power attributes that needed to be promoted, directly raising the essence of a level three life form to level four.
In Leo's view, his ability was more domineering than that of other Little Bookworm; it was a completely unreasonable kind of domineering.
The abilities of the other Little Bookworm still follow the Power of Laws, but only his ability completely controls the Power of Laws Power of Laws, forcibly taking it for himself and using it however he wants.
Benji's body underwent a full two weeks of transformation, followed by about ten days of advancement. The moment his aura exploded, Benji's size had reached two hundred meters!
Level 4
The promotion to World Lord was that simple!!
"Lord Leo Xi, Benji's foundation is a bit weak, which is why it took so long," Little Bookworm No. 001 explained, feeling ashamed that it had taken so long for Benji to advance.
Normally, when they choose to advance from level three to level four, it will take no more than ten days!
"You did a great job, you are very capable," Leo praised.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Leo."
"Go find Baturu, and continue your ascension to the World Lord."
With Little Bookworm No. 001 gone, Leo's gaze fell on Benji, who was adapting to his new strength.
