The Wizard World
The Supreme Lord are acting separately as decided in the previous meeting. It is uncertain when he will appear, so the action must be swift.
Baturu was immediately transferred to the World Land of Origin and sealed away;
The World Land of Origin is heavily Guardian Wizard;
The Cosmic Wanderer and the Dragon Enslaver went to guard the sealed land of the Little Bookworm;
The Supreme Lord of the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World, regardless of their mood, are on their way after receiving the news.
The other Supreme Lord have already begun searching for any possible traces of Leo, preparing to deal with Leo's sudden return at any time.
As a result, just when all the Supreme Lord were focused on the interior of the Wizard World, the spatial portals of the Shadow Plane suddenly closed all of them once again.
Even the branches of the World Tree couldn't stop the space from closing; all the branches were severed by the power of space.
The incident happened suddenly, without any prior warning, but since the World Tree has branches inside the Shadow Plane, it must have known what happened before all the spatial passages were closed.
Faced with the Supreme Lord surrounding it once again, the World Tree shook its branches and uttered only one sentence, which caused all the Supreme Lord to change their expressions.
Leo is back!
"He's in the Shadow Plane; he's the one who shut down all the spatial portals!"
Two black vortexes stood beside the World Tree. As the World Tree uttered the words, " Leo has returned," ten Supreme Lord stepped out from the black vortexes.
Three Supreme Lord of the Myriad Beasts World, and seven Supreme Lord of the Purgatory Demon.
As if struck on the head, they stopped abruptly in front of the black vortex, staring blankly at the World Tree and the Bloodline Controller.
Is it that fast?
Especially when looking at those Bloodline Controller, their gazes were filled with questions.
Are you going to risk your life against Leo again?
Whether in the Myriad Beasts World or the Purgatory Demon World, the mere mention of Leo's name evokes a certain fear.
Their fall from a top-tier World Cluster to their current state as a subordinate force in the Wizard World is all thanks to Leo.
If they were to wage war against him again, they feared that even the last vestiges of their civilization would be lost.
Having finally regained some strength after more than a thousand years, they really wanted to turn around and return to the black vortex.
The Bloodline Controller ignored their halting steps and disregarded their cowardly gazes.
Contractual obligations that come at the cost of preserving civilization mean that even if they were asked to leave, they wouldn't dare.
The Bloodline Controller asked the World Tree, "What else did you see?"
The World Tree answered truthfully, "Before the spatial passage closed, he mobilized the power of the Shadow Plane's Power of Laws to ascend to the World Lord. Sword of Winter and the other three had already surrounded him, and then I know nothing more."
"He is extremely powerful; he can mobilize the power of the entire Shadow Plane with just a single word. Be careful."
After speaking, the World Tree closed its branches, trying its best to appear harmless. It had already done enough by telling the wizards all the information.
He couldn't possibly go against Leo for the sake of the Wizard World; that guy was inhuman, and no one could defeat him in the Shadow Plane.
In his opinion, the four of them, Sword of Winter, were in serious trouble!
"It's a good thing he showed up on his own; it saves us the trouble of looking for him everywhere."
Outside the Wizard World, the 11 Supreme Lord and the 10 reinforcing Supreme Lord all stared at the spatial passage in the Shadow Plane.
They knew that no matter what happened inside, it would eventually reopen!
Unlike the oppressive atmosphere outside the Shadow Plane, inside the Shadow Dimension, facing everyone forcibly gathered by Leo, Yaoyao was speaking enthusiastically.
"You are all from civilizations in the universe, and life is not easy for you on ordinary days. Now that the Shadow Plane exists, your lives are much better."
"Our Leo is a person who loves peace the most, and is willing to make friends with you all."
"You all know the situation in the Shadow Plane. This was originally our world, and now it's being returned to its rightful owner."
"Based on the dream of mutual benefit and common prosperity, we have decided to continue the previous rules for trading in the Shadow Plane, keeping the Shadow Plane open to everyone for free trade among all civilizations, and all conditions will remain unchanged."
"To you, it's simply a matter of the tax collectors changing."
Do you have any objections?
Yaoyao rubbed his little paws together as he looked at the various civilizations crowding the ground. In his eyes, these people all seemed like great people who could drop energy crystals.
Based on the transaction volume he had previously reviewed, he estimated that the taxes collected in a single day would fill his slush fund.
hey-hey,
It's out.
It's out!!
"The great Atomic Control, the Supreme Lord, has completed the resource transactions for our world. We were originally supposed to leave the Shadow Plane anyway, so you see..."
When everyone else dared not speak, a Level-Four World Lord spoke hesitantly. He wasn't stupid; he knew what would happen to the first person to object.
However, his world was weak, with only him World Lord, and he could not be drawn into the impending war between Supreme Lord.
As long as the Shadow Plane reopens the spatial channel, a war of Supreme Lord will break out 100% of the time. If he doesn't leave, he will face certain death.
Politely declining now might still offer a tiny chance of returning to the world.
This is a desperate measure, and it will inevitably result in a near-certain death, but it is still better than being drawn into a war Supreme Lord death is almost certain.
" World Lord, I understand your difficulties, but were your words just now contrary to my will?"
A cold glint flashed in Yaoyao's eyes; she hated disobedient people the most.
This guy is a thief, a thief who's trying to steal from his own savings.
If it weren't for trying to keep them calm, I wouldn't have given him a chance to say a second word.
The World Lord of a small world? That's giving him too much credit.
"Your Excellency, the Supreme Lord Atomic Control, we have the utmost respect for you, and we beg you to spare us."
For every first person who begs for mercy, a second one immediately follows.
Once there's a second one, there will be countless others.
Although Leo defeated four Supreme Lord with invincible power, the Wizard World is not so easy to deal with.
Such weak beings, once drawn into such a brutal battlefield, would be utterly annihilated.
When two ferocious beasts fight, it's best for these little ants to hide.
"You..."
Yaoyao was getting anxious as she watched the civilized students trying to run away. It seemed they weren't listening to anything she had just said.
Leo's expression was indifferent. He lightly tapped the void with his Staff of Darkness, and a contract suddenly appeared in front of everyone below.
In an instant, all the pleas for mercy vanished.
Leo's cold voice reached everyone's ears.
"Sign within five breaths and you live; don't sign and you die."
Everyone immediately looked down at the contracts in front of them. The contents were simple and not a slave contract.
The contract stipulates that they must conduct transactions within the Shadow Plane and cannot leave; the transaction details and taxes paid are the same as before.
Once they withdraw from the Shadow Plane, not only will they die, but their civilization will also suffer his attack.
An attack from a Supreme Lord,
No world could withstand this!
"Grown ups..."
There are still civilizations trying to make a last-ditch effort, but isn't it obvious that signing or not signing also means certain death?
But before he could finish speaking, the shadow beneath his feet seemed to suddenly come alive, like a shark with its jaws wide open, swallowing him whole.
Leo's cold gaze swept over them, and no one dared to speak. They all signed the contract as quickly as possible.
They seemed to have just remembered that Leo was a ruthless man who destroyed two major World Cluster and nearly wiped out three top World Cluster in one battle.
Being able to exchange even a few words with them is already giving them a lot of face. If they really don't know what's good for them, this guy could really destroy all civilizations.
"Once you've signed, go back to your seats and do what you were doing."
Just as everyone wished they had extra legs to run, Leo's voice came again. "Wizard, stay."
In an instant, most of the people disappeared, their last glances fixed pitifully on the hundreds of thousands of wizards who had been forcibly left behind.
They were merely coerced, but the wizards were in a much worse situation!
This guy came back to seek revenge on the wizards; anyone with a brain knows what happened to those wizards.
Leo looked at the hundreds of thousands of wizards; they were the Wizard World who remained in the Shadow Plane to maintain order.
There are five Stigmata Wizard among them, and the rest are Level Three Great Wizard.
As hundreds of thousands of wizards anxiously awaited their fate, Leo said:
"From now on, you will follow my orders and continue to maintain the Shadow Plane. Is that alright?"
"Your Excellency, the Supreme Lord the Atomic Control, maintaining order in the Shadow Plane is no problem, but opposing the Wizard World is absolutely out of the question."
As the highest-ranking Level-Five Stigmata Wizard of Fufeng Liusu, he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to cooperate with the traitorous wizard, but he had hundreds of thousands of wizards behind him, and he couldn't watch so many wizards be wiped out at will because of their insistence.
"I promise you, your job is to continue maintaining the normal operation of the Shadow Plane. You don't need to worry about anything else. Report anything to Yaoyao."
Leo's original intention was simply to let them do whatever they wanted; he didn't think much of the strength of these low-level wizards.
Yaoyao laughed excitedly; her little treasury, which had been dry for thousands of years, could finally have a feast again.
"Come, let me inspect our new territory."
Yaoyao couldn't wait to lead all the wizards to inspect the territory, actually already eyeing today's tax revenue.
Ignoring him, Leo turned her gaze to the little red snake Tortai in the sky.
Under the infusion of intense energy and rules, his promotion proceeded smoothly without any unexpected setbacks, and he had already passed the most dangerous period.
Each molt allowed his body to stretch to over 250 meters, his red scales radiating a hazy red light like flames.
A pair of winding, sharp horns emerged from his forehead, and his body exuded a dragon-like aura, which was related to the large amount of dragon blood fruit he had consumed in the past.
Ten days later,
"Roar"
With a roar, all the energy in Tortai's body exploded, and the aura of Level-Four World Lord pressed down on the sky.
Upon seeing Leo, it instantly suppressed all its aura and obediently knelt down in front of Leo.
