The Source

At the beginning of every story, it is often just a person's wish. And the Magnetic Field World, from the Sea Tiger Era to the Martial God Era, also has such a wish, urging countless people to work hard for it.

If the beginning of Magnetic Field Power was Landao Tianwu, then the beginning of the 500,000-year-old feud was Landao Tianwu's blue dream.

Sitting in the hall of the Skadi Barrier, Bai Mo looked at the small, Giant God instrument shrouded in darkness before him. It was a combination of technology and Magecraft, and it had been given to him by Landao Tianwu as a tool for communication.

Even with considerable strength, this guy didn't intend to penetrate deep into enemy territory; instead, he wanted to use this opportunity to test the waters. Rather than being a request for reinforcements, it was more accurate to say he was probing the enemy's strength in preparation for the upcoming battle.

"You handled it well; this guy isn't an aid."

Bai Mo's words carried a resolute tone. Upon hearing this, Skadi didn't ask any questions and simply nodded. Compared to this suddenly appearing Landao Tianwu, she completely and unconditionally trusted Bai Mo.

Ophelia, who was standing to the side, raised her hand and asked:

"I wanted to find out why. Since this guy is assumed to be an enemy, I'd like to learn more about him first."

Bai Mo nodded and first informed her of Ortlinde's situation. If nothing unexpected happened, Ortlinde had gone to the Qin Lostbelt and was subsequently equipped with the Dream Creator and arrived in Russia.

If it weren't for good luck, Ortlinde would likely have been killed by the Terrible Emperor.

"That's a bit strange. Logically speaking, he shouldn't know anything about your situation, so why did he send Ortlinde?"

"I have no idea what's going on in this guy's head. Maybe this is the only move he knows."

Bai Mo shrugged helplessly. Sigurd adjusted his glasses and continued to press, "In that case, would you mind telling me what happened after Ortlinde met you?"

"Oh, that..."

However, before Bai Mo could speak, Ortlinde quickly covered Bai Mo's mouth from behind. Her cheeks were flushed, and she spoke so fast that she was somewhat incoherent.

"That thing was already damaged by electricity, so I couldn't control what it did, Sigurd. Don't ask, it's not helpful to tell you anyway, so let's talk about something else!"

Ortlinde finished speaking in one breath, then took a deep breath. This was the first time she knew the limit of her lung capacity.

The gazes of the crowd were somewhat subtle, and Ophelia smoothed things over.

"Since there's a problem, understanding it might only hinder our judgment, so let's leave it at that, Saber."

Ortlinde gave Ophelia a grateful look, thanking her for protecting the girl's painful little secret.

"It was indeed destroyed back then, but that's not important. First, let me introduce you to the starting point of this guy's actions, which is about Landao Tianwu's -- Lan's dream."

Bai Mo changed the subject; he genuinely couldn't figure it out either, and was too lazy to think about it. These people who practiced the Supreme Principles for Ordering the World and used astrology to predict fate—if they didn't have similar methods, some of their actions would be truly difficult to explain.

Moreover, Landao Tianwu's stargazing may not be reliable. If he were truly omniscient and omnipotent, he shouldn't have focused solely on the War God while ignoring Hell when he wiped out the Hell family in Vietnam.

Bai Mo wasn't surprised by Landao Tianwu's arrival. Since Ortlinde had fallen into his hands, Landao Tianwu had likely read her memories at that time.

Alternatively, it could be argued that Ortlinde's amnesia was very likely caused by Landao Tianwu.

The reason he came here is not hard to guess. Landao Tianwu has only one purpose, which is his dream of Lan.

"Landao Tianwu believes that human development will eventually destroy the Earth. Therefore, he wants to destroy humanity and the world first, and finally become a god on a reborn Earth."

Well, the key point is what comes later. So, this guy is essentially just a warlord with twisted humanity whose ambition has swelled infinitely under the influence of Magnetic Field Power, wanting to become a scourge of the gods.

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Ophelia's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Is this guy really not a human traitor who has sided with Gaia?"

"The moment he gained access to Magnetic Field Power, this guy stopped seeing people as human beings. Or rather, he gave up on being human."

Skadi, however, had a sudden inspiration. With an incredulous tone, she tentatively asked:

"Um... this guy's purpose in coming here... could it be for..."

"It's probably all for Surtr's sake. He's thinking of having Surtr destroy the world, so he can complete the first half of the Blue Dream Creation Plan. I wonder how he'll prevent the world-destroying Surtr from attacking him."

Because of the barrier of the Storm Wall, he can't bury Giant God and nuclear bombs all over the world like he did with Blue Dream back then. And from Ortlinde's memories, he learned that there is such a treasure as Surtr in the Northern Europe.

He must care a lot about this precious baby.

Therefore, he was not surprised that Landao Tianwu came to Northern Europe.

Upon hearing this, Skadi's face turned as green as pine and bamboo leaves, while Ophelia's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness as she secretly clenched her short skirt.

Who is this person...?

Bai Mo is right, this really is a menace. I was thinking that if Surtr exploded here, it would drag the whole world down with it. Even if the other Lostbelt didn't lend a hand, they shouldn't be adding to the chaos, right?

Surely no one actually hopes for the end of the world, right? No way.

Ophelia covered her face and sighed deeply; the strange pressure was almost suffocating her. Compared to the insurmountable difficulties before her, the guy who stood on the opposite side because of his abstract thinking was even more infuriating.

"How strong is that guy?"

Ophelia, who usually doesn't speak much, asked a lot of questions today, seemingly quite Ophelia about Surtr.

"It's hard to estimate. This guy obtained Magnetic Field Power very early on. During that period, most people were limited by their environment, and he mainly focused on raising his sons."

However, he was killed by his own son not long after. His talent was probably not bad, but it was unlikely to reach the level of a top-tier beauty. However, it seems that the Qin Shi Huang of Qin is dead, and the entire Qin may have become his personal fiefdom, so he should not be underestimated.

Hearing Bai Mo's assessment, Ophelia's eyes flashed, and she asked:

"How about we pretend to cooperate and lure him in..."

Ophelia made a throat-slitting gesture. Bai Mo's understanding of Landao Tianwu allowed them to seize the initiative. If they could take advantage of the intelligence gap, they might be able to create a deadly trap.

"Based on the behavior of one of his sons, this guy must have made all the preparations before coming in, such as having a way to release Surtr directly, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life."

However, it's definitely worth talking to him, at least to find out how much he knows about this place and what his purpose is.

Bai Mo's gaze fell on the instruments that were completely shrouded in Skadirune, his eyes filled with hidden meaning.
