"It's alright, the Wizard Will have all been diverted by the Guardian Wizard and are all fighting outside the Wizard World. Nobody's paying attention here," said Little Bookworm No. 002 with a smile.
However, Little Bookworm No. 002 immediately wiped the smile off his face and lowered his head to Leo, "I'm sorry, Master. I failed to detect the Bloodline Controller's plan, causing you to put yourself in danger."
"No need to apologize. It's not your fault that these things happened, and things have turned out much better than I planned," Leo comforted the Little Bookworm No. 002.
He did not subdue Little Bookworm No. 002; there was no relationship between them. Little Bookworm No. 002's submission can be described as a one-way, voluntary submission.
Therefore, when Leo's true form was controlled by the Wizard Will and revealed all the universe-level treasures he controlled, there was no Little Bookworm No. 002 present.
"Master, I have placed Alice's soul into her body. Would you like to take a look?" Little Bookworm No. 002 immediately asked.
Leo glanced at the World Land of Origin and shook his head. "The wizarding energy here is too strong; Alice's soul cannot withstand it. It's safer for her to stay with you."
Leo wanted to say something more, but looking at his increasingly weak soul—a wisp of soul hastily torn apart, located in the World Land of Origin, being rapidly devoured by dense energy—he realized it was being consumed by dense energy.
Just as the Bloodline Controller said to Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body at the Supreme Lord Conference, Alice's soul, once inside Leo's body, would soon be assimilated by the Wizard Will.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that there was a clone of the Fate Wizard Book within Leo's body. Even after Leo's physical consciousness was erased, Little Bookworm No. 002 could still control his clone, which protected Alice's soul.
This isn't his fault; after all, nobody knows that the biggest traitor in the Wizard World isn't Leo, but rather the Fate Wizard Book treasure passed down through generations.
"I can't maintain this form for much longer. You stay here and protect Alice's soul. I'll come back for you."
"Yes, Master, I'll wait for you to come back."
Under the gaze of Little Bookworm No. 002, Leo's soul suddenly ignited into a raging fire, which instantly burned away.
Little Bookworm No. 002 glanced at the broken red sword behind him, which seemed to fawn over him as it swayed up and down.
Little Bookworm No. 002 gave him a suspicious glare before immediately burrowing back into the Fate Wizard Book.
The Fate Wizard Book closed and left Leo's body, while the red broken sword followed closely behind the Fate Wizard Book.
Shadow World, Land of Chaos
On a black plate that had expanded to the size of the world, a protruding part that was originally Yaoyao but which Yao Yao insisted was a statue, indeed appeared as a statue.
However, it wasn't a group statue of Yaoyao, Leo, Black Soluo, and Baturu.
This time, the statue depicts only one person, whose form and appearance are exactly the same as Leo's.
This is a statue of Leo!
Yaoyao sat atop the statue's head, fast asleep with her eyes closed. Beside her were evenly distributed clusters of black light.
"Pfft"
Another black ball of light emerged from Yaoyao's bottom.
Yaoyao opened her eyes and glanced at it with disgust, then moved her body to the side, afraid of touching her own excrement.
However, two-thirds of the area on Leo's head was already covered by black light, Yaoyao could only stay close to the edge of the statue's head and continue sleeping with her eyes closed.
If he continues like this, the head of the Leo statue will soon be covered with his excrement.
Yao Yao, who had never Yaoyao before, suddenly started having bowel movements every now and then, perhaps because she ate something bad.
Just as Yaoyao started snoring, the Leo statue beneath her suddenly trembled.
Two beams of white light shot out from the Leo statue, directly into the Shadow World beyond its line of sight.
"Damn, I've been waiting forever, finally there's some movement!"
Yaoyao Yao immediately jumped off the Leo statue and looked at the constantly shaking statue.
As the statue trembled, the area of the tremor continued to expand. The black slab connected to the statue, even though it had expanded to the size of a world, began to tremble continuously under the influence of the statue's vibrations.
If it were just the entire black slab shaking, Yaoyao wouldn't be too surprised.
As the black plate continued to vibrate, the entire Shadow World seemed to tremble slightly.
Yaoyao rubbed her eyes in disbelief, wondering if she had seen wrong, but after rubbing her eyes, she realized that the slight tremor in the Shadow World was real.
The entire Shadow World began to tremble as the statue shook!
Like an ongoing earthquake, the tremors in the Shadow World gradually increased in amplitude.
Yaoyao stared at all of this, at the statue of Leo, the instigator, her jaw nearly dropping in astonishment. Nothing like this had ever happened in the Shadow World.
"My goodness! Leo is incredible! If he really can be reborn in the Shadow World as predicted, he'll be absolutely invincible!!"
The statue's vibration frequency continued to increase, as if something inside was breaking free from the statue's constraints.
Perhaps the statue's confinement ability was too strong, and the life inside could not break free from its restraints, only increasing the vibrations.
The faster the statue vibrates, the faster the black plate beneath its feet vibrates; the faster the black plate vibrates, the faster the vibration of the entire Shadow World accelerates.
Yaoyao watched as the three vibrators raced against each other, accelerating until their vibration frequencies became perfectly synchronized...
Twisted cracks appeared on the surface of the black statue's body, from which golden light emanated...
"This is..."
Yaoyao was bathed in golden light, as if he were being basked in divine light. He stared at the golden light in disbelief, as if he had never seen anything like it before.
It's not that Yaoyao is like this, but the Shadow World has always been black and white, with only a little bit of gray, and never any other colors.
But now a third color has appeared... gold!!
This is a color that has never appeared in the Shadow World!!
Golden light was released, and the cracks on the black statue tore wildly. Finally, after reaching a certain limit, the golden light suddenly shone brightly.
It was as if a golden sun had appeared in the Shadow World Shadow World, bringing colorful light to it.
The metallic gleam stung Yaoyao's eyes, so she had no choice but to cover them with her little paws.
Although some light could still penetrate his little paws and eyelids and enter his eyes, the golden light, though blocked by layers of barriers, was already tolerable.
When the light filtering through her claws and eyelids dimmed, Yaoyao tried to open her eyes, eagerly looking outside.
"Wow!"
Yaoyao was shocked and couldn't help but sigh.
In his view, the black continent that had expanded from the black plate was gone, the statue was gone, and a figure radiating golden light stood where the statue had been.
Face not visible
He holds the seal of the World Tree's soul in his hand.
Through the soul connection, I have clearly sensed who the life beneath the golden light is.
Yaoyao instantly jumped onto the golden figure's shoulder, pressed her cheek against the figure's, and said cheekily, " Leo Xi, you've finally been resurrected."
The golden light vanished, and the life that emerged from the statue was none other than Leo!!
Leo wore a smug smile. After paying such a high price, even dying once himself, he had finally accomplished the feat of being born in the Shadow World.
There are three conditions for advancing to the Supreme Lord. The highest condition is advancement through the Shadow World, which requires life to be born in the Shadow World.
Yaoyao tried for over a thousand years, and countless souls were tested, but she never succeeded.
Later, it was only when the black panel formed by the combined projections of the Seven Elementary Schools merged with the statue that Yaoyao saw hope for life to emerge in the Shadow World. This life was none other than Leo!!
This method is not 100% effective, it's just a possibility.
Fortunately, he succeeded!
What's your level?
Yaoyao sensed Leo Leo's aura, but could not detect any of it or his level.
There are only two types of life forms whose aura cannot be sensed: one is that they truly have no aura, which is an ordinary life form; the other is that their level far exceeds that of the senser.
Yaoyao and Leo were connected by souls, and she was absolutely certain of Leo's situation. Leo was in the first situation, with no aura present. His level had directly regressed to the beginning, and he was not even Wizard Apprentice, but just an ordinary person.
"My rebirth is different from Baturu's; naturally, I've lost all my strength." Leo looked towards the Shadow World.
The Shadow World he saw at that moment was completely different from what it had been before.
The previous Shadow World was black and white, a projection of the real world, and everything in it moved in accordance with the real world.
Like a series of connected two-dimensional images, everything is flat.
Like the elongated shadow running past, it's a wild beast running in some world in the real world, its shadow stretched out due to the angle of the sunlight.
Previously, he could only understand some simple projections, but now he can instinctively see all projections clearly.
Even when illuminated by light from multiple angles, they can still instantly discern what he looks like in reality.
This is probably the Shadow World in Yaoyao's eyes.
Moreover, he could sense that each shadow seemed to possess its own life, awaiting the call of the Shadow World.
It's as if he has the ability to pull these projections out of the two-dimensional image and give them their own life.
He couldn't stay in the Shadow World for long before, not even when he was Level-Six Stigmata Wizard.
There's no need to worry now; he feels completely at home in the Shadow World.
He can move quickly using the shadows in the Shadow World, completing bizarre and fantastical routes.
Whatever you desire, you can achieve.
