Back then, the sixth level had already turned the entire wizarding civilization upside down. If it weren't for the Bloodline Controller using Alice's soul as leverage, he would never have surrendered so easily.
It could be said that they had no way to subdue the traitorous wizard.
If he is truly not dead, then his reappearance will inevitably bring even more terrifying consequences, as revenge for killing him and robbing him of all his wealth.
Alice's soul was completely extinguished a thousand years ago, and they have no means to control this traitorous wizard.
The Sword of Winter furrowed, and the longsword in his hand, sensing the restlessness within him, emitted a constant, uneasy clang.
Just as Sword of Winter had suspected, the Wizard World was already in turmoil due to the sudden advancement of the Shadow Plane, with an atmosphere of unease spreading to every corner.
A powerful Supreme Lord harbors deep hatred for them and cannot be controlled to act alone is simply a nightmare haunting the wizarding civilization.
The Undying Body Demiplane
Beast Blood Boiling arrived here after receiving news of the sudden advancement of the Shadow Plane.
Is Baturu still asleep?
"Yes, it's still asleep."
Baturu spiritual power penetrated into the center of the demiplane and exuded a strong aura of Wizard Will, showed no signs of awakening.
Even after careful examination of every part of Baturu's body, not a trace of Baturu's aura could be found.
A thousand years ago, they still kept an eye on Baturu's situation, after all, Baturu was connected to replicas of all the universe-level treasures.
But as time passed and the Wizard World gradually stabilized, the sleeping Baturu was no longer of interest.
But this sudden evolution of the Shadow Plane is of great importance; we need to see if it's related to Baturu.
A thousand years have passed, and Baturu remains unchanged!
Beast Blood Boiling's heart sank suddenly. This was not good news; the evolution of the Shadow Plane had nothing to do with Baturu.
"They've all been here, and they didn't find anything unusual."
The Undying Body, looking at the Beast Blood Boiling as he carefully examined Baturu, spoke with a very grim expression.
Not only did the two of them place their suspicions on Baturu, but the other Supreme Lord also placed their suspicions on Baturu.
This is the most normal behavior.
Leo is dead, Black Soluo has not been resurrected, so who else would you suspect if not Baturu?
In the end, no one got the result they wanted!
"Do you think it's possible that...?"
Unable to find any information on Baturu, the Beast Blood Boiling looked uncertainly at the Undying Body.
Their eyes met, filled with deep suspicion and unease.
The Undying Body knew what "Beast Blood Boiling" meant, because he also suspected it, and not only the two of them, but all the other Supreme Lord had the same guess.
"If he's really not dead, then the days ahead won't be easy," the Undying Body said with a wry smile.
After eliminating all possibilities, the least likely outcome is the result.
The sound of deep breathing echoed throughout the entire demiplane, and each breath of the two Supreme Lord, whose hearts were in turmoil, could cause a storm in the demiplane.
Their guesses are 60% true.
"No wonder no one has been able to subdue those Little Bookworm all these years; those Little Bookworm already knew," said Beast Blood Boiling.
"If they don't speak, no one can do anything to them," said the Undying Body.
A thousand years ago, because of the wealth left behind by Leo, all the Supreme Lord and fifteen Guardian Wizard were caught up in a frenzy of fighting over it.
That chaotic battle lasted for two hundred years.
It ended with the deaths of ten Guardian Wizard, the serious injuries of thirteen Supreme Lord, and the deaths of two Supreme Lord.
It can be said that the death of those Supreme Lord alone greatly reduced the strength of the Wizard World.
The only good news about the deaths of so many Supreme Lord is that most of them were Guardian Wizard, so the weakening of the Wizard World's power was limited.
Because the losses were too severe, the Supreme Lord compromised and finalized the plan. Although some were still dissatisfied, they had no choice but to accept it given that the majority agreed.
All the Supreme Lord happily opened the Shadow Plane, took out the World Tree, took out all the cosmic treasures, and then went to the Barbarian World Barbarian World to retrieve the cosmic treasures that were placed there.
The plan was to distribute the tasks happily, but an unexpected situation arose.
The six Little Bookworm, 001, 003, 004, 005, 006, and 007, collectively disagreed with belonging to the Wizard World and did not accept the control of wizarding civilization over them.
Even though they had become unclaimed cosmic treasures due to Leo's death, and it would be difficult for them to unleash their full power without life control, their small eyes still revealed disdain and contempt for every wizard.
The Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body witnessed the scene firsthand, as they were very curious about these cosmic treasures that had given birth to their own will.
That scene... was cruel!
Bloodline Controller: "We are the most powerful civilization; no civilization is better suited to utilize your abilities."
Little Bookworm No. 001: "Get lost."
Little Bookworm No. 003: "+1."
Little Bookworm No. 007: "+1."
The Elemental Controller: "Submit to us, and your names will resound throughout the entire universe."
Little Bookworm No. 001: "You get out too."
Little Bookworm No. 003: "+1."
Little Bookworm No. 007: "+1."
The Sword of Winter drew his longsword and threatened, "Disobey, or die."
Little Bookworm No. 001 stretched out his neck. "Come, come, if you can scratch a piece of my skin, I'll consider your sword sharp."
Little Bookworm No. 003 also craned his neck. "+1."
Little Bookworm No. 007 also craned his neck. "+1."
Six tiny insects, no bigger than a finger, simultaneously placed their necks beneath the Sword of Winter.
At that moment, the Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body manifested in an incredibly rich array of colors on the faces of every Supreme Lord, more magnificent than a rainbow in the sky.
It's no wonder those Little Bookworm are arrogant; they simply have the right to be.
The Supreme Lord attempted to control them by force, but all their attempts failed.
Even if the Elemental Controller and Bloodline Controller joined forces, they couldn't do anything to them.
At this moment, all the Supreme Lord realized how ridiculous their previous struggles had been.
These Little Bookworm showed no sign of submission; each of them held their heads higher than anyone else, pointing their fingers at the noses of the Supreme Lord and relentlessly hurling insults.
Baturu, who controls all the replicas of cosmic-level treasures, is still asleep and shows no sign of waking up.
This means they won't be able to obtain a single cosmic-level treasure.
How ridiculous!
Leo left behind sixteen cosmic treasures and a vast amount of wealth. In the end, all they obtained was the Shadow Plane and a World Tree without a soul.
Faced with these Little Bookworm who are as tough as copper peas, the Supreme Lord of the Wizard World can only seal them away for now.
They wanted to subdue them through other means, but as long as these Little Bookworm didn't wander off, they would still be part of their Wizard World.
However, a thousand years have passed, and they have made no progress whatsoever in their efforts to subdue the Little Bookworm.
The sudden advancement of the Shadow Plane has occurred, and those Little Bookworm definitely know something about it. But thinking of their stubborn, Little Bookworm way of sticking their necks out and refusing to listen to reason, they are even more stinking and hard than rocks in a latrine.
I want to get some information out of them...
The most likely outcome is that even if they say it, no one will believe it's true!
Besides that, they had another worry... there were even more suspicious things about the two of them.
Both of them achieved their Supreme Lord advancement thanks to Leo, Leo also gave them two cosmic-level treasures.
The cosmic-level treasures they possess are among the only two cosmic-level treasures that the entire Wizard World has obtained from Leo.
Aside from the Eye of Destruction and the Endless Pot in their possession, the Wizard World has never acquired a third one.
While other Supreme Lord had not obtained cosmic-level treasures, they were undoubtedly the envy of everyone.
Furthermore, the two of them forced the Bloodline Controller Bloodline Controller fulfill his promise at the cost of defying him and offending all the Supreme Lord. Afterwards, neither of them participated in the struggle for Leo's inheritance.
At the time, it seemed like they were the ones being ostracized, but now it looks like they probably got advance notice!
Knowing that no one could obtain those cosmic treasures, they chose to retreat strategically, withdrawing from the competition and preserving themselves.
And the two of them always protected Baturu...
Baturu has been asleep for a long time, and no one can obtain a replica of the cosmic treasure...
Considering all these possibilities... they all began to suspect that they might actually be in cahoots with Leo.
The fact that they weren't summoned to this Supreme Lord's Summoning Conference was already a bad sign.
"Heh, if that's really the case, it would be a waste of the hundreds of years of guilt I felt back then." Beast Blood Boiling smiled helplessly.
If that's the case,
It could be said that the two of them were once again caught in Leo's scheme.
From gifting a cosmic-level treasure to ascending to the Supreme Lord, and everything that happened afterward, it was all meticulously planned by Leo.
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly understand why Baturu repeatedly told the two of them to make sure that the Bloodline Controller returned Alice's soul to Leo.
"Perhaps Alice's soul hasn't perished; it's just that we don't know where it's hidden." The Undying Body was also thinking rapidly, but it still couldn't find any obvious flaws.
Back then, Leo was only at level six. His own consciousness was erased, and one of his clones died while the other fell into a deep sleep. Where would he get any help?
They both admitted they knew nothing about him and hadn't helped him at all. Who else in the Wizard World could help him besides themselves?
Of course, all these speculations and doubts are based on the premise that Leo has indeed been resurrected.
If he was not resurrected, and the ascension to the Shadow Plane was due to other reasons, then they are worrying unnecessarily.
You're scaring yourself!
