Unfortunately, what Leo wanted was not just a powerful world, but many worlds, something that even the Seven Little Ones couldn't achieve.
Because Leo knew what Xiao Wu's abilities were and that they wouldn't be of much help to him, he kept putting off finding Xiao Wu until now that he had some free time.
Although Xiao Wu's abilities are weak, he is still a help.
"I have a medium-sized world-level Shadow Plane. From now on, your main job is to upgrade the level of this Shadow Plane. Don't rush, just take your time," Leo instructed Xiao Wu.
"Yes, Lord Leo!"
Little Bookworm No. 005 remained cautious and careful when facing Leo.
"Come on, I'll take you to meet your other brothers."
Holding the purple book, Yaoyao returned to the Barbarian World through the Shadow Plane.
Leo continued to supervise the expeditionary force's combat performance here.
At this point, there's not much need for further attention. Three-fifths of the world has been conquered, and all ten World Lord have been captured alive. The remaining forces of the Floating Life Great World will be completely wiped out within ten years.
A Stigmata Wizard has already opened a spatial teleportation channel connecting to the Barbarian World, beginning the development and transformation of the Floating Life Great World.
Leo sat upright on the throne, his mind racing with thoughts. He flipped his hand, and five black books appeared in his palm.
This is the projection of the collected books of the Little Bookworm in the Shadow World. Leo found a Little Bookworm and pulled out a shadow.
Except for Xiao Wu's shadow, which hasn't been drawn yet, the shadows of all the other Little Bookworm have been drawn.
These books were just solitary black books; no Little Bookworm appeared. It was as if, when they were projecting, they only projected their own bodies and did not project the Little Bookworm that were born.
Without the Little Bookworm, these black books lose their corresponding abilities and become nothing more than ordinary black shadows.
However, the aura of their own cosmic-level treasures remained, confirming that they were indeed cosmic-level treasures, not ordinary shadows.
It's possible that the correct usage method wasn't found.
Once we find Xiao Wu, all we need to do is wait for Yaoyao to return and pull out Xiao Wu's shadow, which would mean we've gathered the projections of all seven Little Bookworm.
The projection of the Fate Wizard Book was found by Yaoyao in the Demiplane of Lord of Life when Leo was still in the Wizard World.
Before the Returning Breath World, the Fate Wizard Book, also known as Xiao Er, was kept in the hands of the Lord of Fate.
Finding his projection was incredibly easy, just as easy as finding the projection of the Eye of Destruction back then.
"Let's go, I can't wait any longer. I wonder what will happen after we gather all seven projections."
Yaoyao had just returned from the Shadow Plane when she pulled Leo into the Shadow World.
In the Shadow World, the Land of Chaos, Yaoyao, Leo, and Black Soluo, the soul statue of Baturu is still here, still holding the soul seal of the World Tree in its hands.
Yaoyao quickly pulled the shadow out of Leo's body, her little paws almost sparking as she twisted the shadow into a long black rope.
In a maneuver that Leo couldn't comprehend, he threw the rope in his hand into the Land of Chaos, as if fishing.
"Middle!"
As Yaoyao shouted excitedly, the rope made of shadows seemed to actually wrap around something, and the entire rope instantly straightened up.
"I hit it on the first try! I'm amazing! Pull it up!"
Yaoyao stuffed the rope into Leo's hand, urging Leo to quickly pull out Xiao Wu's projection.
Leo was already quite adept at pulling the rope, especially since Xiao Wu's projector wasn't heavy at all; he pulled it out in just a few moves.
"Quick, quick, put all six books together and see if anything magical happens."
Yaoyao couldn't wait any longer. Before Xiao Wu was available, there was no reaction when the five books were placed together. At that time, she guessed that there would probably be no change until all seven books were collected.
Perhaps we can find out why the Little Bookworm don't have projections, and why their physical projections don't work.
Now that we've collected all six books, it's time to see if a miracle will happen!
Leo took out the remaining five books, and before Leo could put them together, all six books instantly started moving.
Under the watchful eyes of Leo and Yaoyao, the six books quickly merged together.
"There has indeed been a change."
Leo opened his eyes wide, trying to see clearly the changes in the six Little Bookworm books.
This is the third thing, besides him and Yaoyao, that can change in the Shadow World.
Everything in the Shadow World moves and changes along with the real world; it has no ability to move independently.
The Shadow World is a projection of the real world, so it's normal for such things to happen.
Previously, only Leo and Yaoyao were allowed to disregard this rule of the Shadow World, but now, in addition to the two of them, there are six more books that have been merged together.
Within the Shadow World, there were no changes in energy or color. Leo could only see a large mass of blackness constantly shrinking in size, unable to determine what specific changes were occurring in the projected books of the six Little Bookworm.
I wanted to touch it, but it was just a cloud of black mist.
Soon, the transformation of the six books ended, and what appeared before Leo was... a single book?
Leo looked at the object in front of him with suspicion. It was called a book, but it only looked somewhat like one. In reality, it had nothing to do with books. It looked more like a dark, unremarkable piece of tile.
It's square and neat, nothing strange about it!!
"Six projections of cosmic-level treasures were fused together to create this?"
As the only life form in the Shadow World, Yaoyao Shadow World's understanding of it was unparalleled. He could easily answer any questions about the Shadow World before, but he was still full of questions after seeing what the six books had merged.
Finally, there was something he didn't know: he couldn't understand what the small, square blackboard in front of him was for.
Leo picked it up and examined it closely, but couldn't understand anything about it; it seemed to be just an ordinary black piece of paper.
But the more this is the case, the more it proves that this thing must possess some kind of magical ability, which they just can't understand.
After all, anything that can break free from the rules of the Shadow World must possess extraordinary abilities, and these two are the best example of that.
"Let's try it out in the real world and see if it performs any unusually."
Leo and Yaoyao studied it for a while but found nothing. They could only take it out to see if it could only exert its power in the real universe, like other cosmic-level treasures.
But when they returned to the mothership, the black panel in their hands was still the same. Leo transferred his energy into it, and the energy did transfer, but...
Then there was nothing left.
The energy is transferred in, and then it's in; there's no reaction whatsoever.
This black plate looks completely lifeless.
Yaoyao didn't believe there was really no reaction and plunged in headfirst. As a result, the black plate, which was only a finger thick, seemed to have a space inside that swallowed Yaoyao whole, and Yaoyao entire body disappeared.
Leo wasn't worried about Yaoyao having any problems; his connection with Yaoyao was still intact and hadn't been disturbed.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
An energy crystal fell out from beneath the black plate, followed by food, weapons, books... a whole bunch of strange things fell out.
"That's strange. The interior is a huge, illusory space that can't hold physical objects. I've tried dozens of things, but none of them can fit."
Yaoyao crawled out from the black slab, picked up the things on the ground again, and scratched his head at the black slab in front of him, as if he didn't understand why there were shadow creations that he didn't understand.
"Let's go to the lab."
Since simple methods could not detect the black plate's abilities and characteristics, Leo went directly into the laboratory in the Shadow Plane.
He wanted to use comprehensive testing to examine the characteristics of this black plate, even if it only revealed a tiny bit of useful information.
This black plate, which gathers the projections of the seven minor beings, is not simply an aggregate of seven cosmic-level treasures; it also reflects the power of the seven minor beings in the real universe after they are combined.
He had asked Little Bookworm and the other two what kind of power they would have when they came together more than once.
But the answer always came to the conclusion that 'the combined power of the seven of them is unparalleled, making them the most powerful beings.'
But when Leo asked them for details, they wouldn't tell Leo, only saying that he would know when they gathered the seven little ones.
Each of the Seven Little Ones' abilities far surpasses that of a normal universe-level treasure. Normal universe-level treasures are manifestations of rules, but these seven possess the Power of Laws. Upon closer analysis, they even have the terrifying ability to manipulate the rules themselves.
If the individual seven individuals are this powerful, it's unimaginable how much their combined power would be!
This is the best opportunity to get a glimpse of the abilities of the seven little ones after their fusion. According to the rules of the Shadow World, the projection and the original body have the same abilities.
Like the other cosmic-level treasures in Leo's possession, they all possess the same abilities as their original counterparts.
According to the rules, the black piece in my hand can be considered the result of the fusion of the seven smaller pieces.
However, the projections of the Seven Little Ones are different from other cosmic treasures; their projections do not possess the same abilities as their original bodies.
If they had the same ability, Leo would have used it long ago.
Unfortunately, no.
Now that the six books have come together, a black block has appeared that even Yaoyao can't understand.
As long as one can see through the black plate's abilities, one can glimpse the abilities of the seven minor bodies after their fusion!
Leo spent ten years in the laboratory, sending all the battle reports from the Floating Life Great World into the Shadow Plane.
Anyway, these World Lord already know about the Shadow Plane, so there's no need to hide it from them.
During the experiment, both Baturu and Black Soluo came to take a look, but they still couldn't figure out what abilities this black plate had.
