As the God of Wisdom, Angley believed that no one could outwit him, until he suffered a setback at the Goddess of Fate.

As for the Mother of the Stars, Angley was not yet qualified to fight her; his fear stemmed more from his apprehension of this behemoth.

"So, this is why you chose to become a god of the Federation God of Civilization? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?" The Elemental Grand Sage looked distrustful, a gesture to further test the bottom line of the God of Wisdom, Angley.

The God of Wisdom, of course, understood the Elemental Grand Sage ' meaning, and he shook his head slightly, "Of course, it's not just that."

"If it were merely that the Divine Realm wasn't trustworthy enough for me to make this momentous decision, it wouldn't be enough to convince me."

"The reason I am willing to become the God of Civilization of the Federation is partly to take this step further, although the risks are great and it could cause me to completely lose my humanity, the rewards are equally considerable."

"On the other hand, I sensed a profound danger stemming from cause and effect and Fate, a danger that I would have been utterly unable to resist if I remained within the Divine Realm's system."

"Danger?"

The Elemental Grand Sage was taken aback.

Then, as if making a connection to something, she suddenly realized something.

His expression changed slightly.

He muttered to himself, "Could it be that matter? The danger brought by the Destruction Tide?"

The Elemental Grand Sage thought it was very likely.

She looked at the Magic Pioneer, whose eyes also flashed with understanding; the Pioneer had made the same deduction as the Elemental Grand Sage.

They all believed that the God of Wisdom's fear stemmed from the immense catastrophe brewing in the Chaos Sea, a catastrophe powerful enough to overturn the entire Astral Realm.

The news of the Destruction Tide was known only to the Eternal of the Astral Realm, and these Eternal would only tell their core subordinates.

Of course, nothing stays secret forever. Some well-informed Supreme God, even Main God, received the news and began making secret preparations.

Logically speaking, the God of Wisdom, Angley, should also know this news.

But judging from his behavior, he seemed to know nothing at all.

That's a bit strange.

Test him.

The Magic Pioneer and the Elemental Grand Sage made their decisions simultaneously.

As an existence on par with the God of Wisdom, the Elemental Grand Sage is more suited to speak.

All I heard was her tentative question, "Is it because of the Destruction Tide?"

The God of Wisdom looked surprised, but a thought suddenly occurred to him.

He certainly knew about the Destruction Tide.

A catastrophe that swept across the entire Chaos Sea.

Although the Sun God did not consider him one of his own, he still informed the God of Wisdom this news.

It wasn't that I valued the latter, but rather that I understood the God of Wisdom could learn of this through other channels, so there was no point in keeping it a secret.

However, the danger that the God of Wisdom, Angley, spoke of to the high-ranking officials of the Adrian Federation was not Destruction Tide.

Rather, it is the "Spirit of Truth" lurking in the shadows.

In other words, the three: Logo, Go, and the others.

Just as the God of Wisdom, Angley, betrayed the Truth Wizard Civilization back then, he cannot immediately gain the trust of the Astral Realm High Command.

Then we'll need to offer a pledge of allegiance.

At that time, the Mother of the Stars was the temporary leader of the various forces in the Astral Realm, essentially a provisional leader.

The Mother of the Stars gave the God of Wisdom, Angley, the task of secretly sabotaging the Eye of Truth, or at the very least, interfering with its operation.

When the God of Wisdom, Angley, received this task, he was completely bewildered.

What did you say?!

Tell me to destroy the Eye of Truth?

The absolute core of that Truth Wizard Civilization?

It was heavily guarded and possessed a supreme treasure capable of easily annihilating Supreme God.

Are you kidding me?

However, by then, the God of Wisdom, Angley, had no way to turn back.

We had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry out this task.

As the saying goes, human potential is limitless.

You'll never know your true potential unless you push yourself.

After a series of maneuvers, Angley successfully approached the Eye of Truth, and it was at this moment that he discovered the core secret of the Eye of Truth.

That is, this extraordinary treasure actually developed sentience.

Although extremely faint, it is genuine spirituality.

This discovery greatly fueled the greed of Angley, the God of Wisdom.

Under normal circumstances, he could never possibly master the Eye of Truth, because it is the supreme treasure of the Truth Wizard Civilization and something beyond his level to control. However, if the Eye of Truth itself possesses sentience, then it's a different story.

Having the spiritual Eye of Truth is like having a child with a vast fortune. If you can persuade this child to obey you, it's equivalent to having the Eye of Truth.

With this powerful treasure in hand, one can roam freely throughout the world.

Of course, in the end, the God of Wisdom, Angley, was defeated.

However, he did indeed cause serious disruption to the operation of the Eye of Truth during this process, which indirectly led to the defeat of the Truth Wizard Civilization in the final battle.

Afterwards, the Mother of the Stars did not break her promise and bestowed upon Angley the Primordial Divine Soul left behind after the fall of the first God of Wisdom, making him a member of the Divine Realm and the new God of Wisdom.

However, because of that incident where he was tricked, the impression was so deep that the God of Wisdom, Angley, still dares not trust the Mother of the Stars.

This woman appears gentle, but she is actually quite cunning and ruthless; she can sell herself out without batting an eye.

More importantly, he has no common interests with the Mother of the Stars, unlike the Adrian Federation.

There is a deep objective connection between the Federation and the God of Wisdom, and there are many areas where the two sides can cooperate.

That said, after the destruction of the Truth Wizard Civilization, the God of Wisdom never gave up on the Eye of Truth and tried to find its traces using various methods.

He couldn't believe the Eye of Truth was destroyed so easily. The leader of the Truth Wizard Civilization, a cunning old man, his teacher, even if he ultimately lost to the Astral Realm, would surely have left behind a backup plan.

This backup plan must be the spiritual insight that quietly arises from the Eye of Truth.

Angley knew his teacher very well.

In fact, his guess was correct.

The birth of Logo's initial consciousness was a result of a combination of chance and the combined efforts of the most powerful wizards of the Truth Wizard Civilization.

In a sense, it can be said that hard work pays off. After a thorough search by the God of Wisdom, Angley, he finally found some clues.

Following these clues, Angley found the Eye of Truth, which had been simplified into the Eye of Eye of Insight.

It is attached to a mid-level Astral Realm civilization called the Yate Aslant Civilization, concealing its own spirituality and secretly drawing power to grow.

This discovery delighted the God of Wisdom.

He suppressed his joy and did not act rashly, because he knew the power of the Eye of Truth; even in its dilapidated state, it still possessed a power he could not fathom.

Andre chose a roundabout route.

He secretly controlled the Floating Light Civilization and used it to attack the Aslant Civilization, attempting to secretly seize the Eye of Truth.

Under normal circumstances, the Eye of Truth should be indifferent to which civilization it resides in.

Once the Eye of Truth has adapted to the Floating Light Civilization, Angley can secretly use his own power to erode this treasure and eventually take control of it.

However, Angley underestimated Logo's vigilance.

In the final battle between the Aslant Civilization and Floating Light Civilization, the Eye of Insight was struck. Logo took this opportunity to disintegrate the Eye of Insight, but in reality, he preserved the core part. He also divided his own consciousness and spirituality into many parts and reincarnated in the Astral Realm tens of thousands of times to cleanse himself of the residual causal aura and regain his identity. In the process, he even lost a lot of his memories.

However, this incident also turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Luo Ge, as he gained three separate clones with shared memories.

This led to the subsequent scenario where the three supported each other and rose together.

Angley had always coveted the Eye of Truth, but at the same time, he understood even more the terrifying potential that this terrifying treasure would unleash once the spirituality it gave birth to could act independently.

That was a terrifying enemy lurking in the shadows.

Angley understood that this enemy would come knocking sooner or later, seeking Revenge for everything that had happened.

He had to face this formidable enemy alone.

This won't do.

We need to find an ally to share the blame.

The Divine Realm is no good; Angley is terrified at the sight of the Mother of the Stars, and the Goddess of Fate are also a formidable opponent. As for the Sun God, he says he looks down on the latter.

In reality, it was mainly because the Sun God didn't think much of him.

Without the trust of the Sun God, they are easily discarded as pawns.

Angley would never allow this to happen.

Therefore, the Adrian Federation became his first choice.

Since they were already in the same boat, they decided to go all the way and become its God of Civilization, binding themselves to this super-civilization.

If the Spirit of Truth comes knocking in the future, with the help of the Federation, it can be suppressed. Angley can also devour the Eye of Truth and use its power to restore his humanity.

The Federation is unaware of the Eye of Truth's core power.

Once he regains his humanity, Angley can hide in the shadows and absorb the Federation's power, becoming a parasite and secretly growing stronger until he completely takes over this behemoth from the dark.

This was the scheme of Angley, the God of Wisdom.

That's incredibly audacious.

The risk is extremely high.

But if successful, the rewards are unimaginably high.

Angley had already figured out how to explain his lurking, formidable enemy.

But... judging from the words of the Adrian Federation's leader, the Magic Pioneer, and the Elemental Grand Sage, are they treating the danger they speak of as an impending Destruction Tide?

Countless thoughts raced through the mind of the God of Wisdom, Angley, and he immediately made a plan.

This is an opportunity; we must seize it.

He really didn't want to reveal the existence of the Eye of Truth unless absolutely necessary, not even the slightest clue.

These are only two known twelve-star Miracle Creation to him, and once he truly controls them, making them Eternity is almost a certainty.

Angley was very cautious about his own path.

Faced with the scrutinizing gazes of the Adrian Federation's high-ranking officials, Angley gave a helpless look and said, "As expected, the Eternal all know about the Destruction Tide."

The Magic Pioneer and the Elemental Grand Sage exchanged a glance and nodded almost imperceptibly.

It turns out that the God of Wisdom intended to become the God of Civilization of the Federation because of this matter.

That's somewhat understandable.

Didn't you see? Even the Eternal are on high alert because of the existence of the Destruction Tide, and they are doing everything they can to increase their power.

The Lord of Time even devoured his own race, demonstrating extreme ruthlessness.

The Magic Pioneer knew they couldn't do that.

His feelings for the Adrian Federation were incredibly deep; even if he gave up his Eternity Status, he could never abandon the Federation.

This is why the Magic Pioneer spare no effort to enhance the Federation's overall strength and plot against the Elemental Dimension.

Once the Elemental Dimension are mastered, one can merge with the Immortal Continent.

Therefore, the Federation would essentially possess a super universe.

It can be used for both offense and defense.

In the ensuing turbulent situation, they gained a significant advantage.

Just like the World Alliance, it exists because of the World Tree Universe.

Even when attacked from both sides, he simply smiled and didn't care at all, because he wasn't afraid at all.

"Hehe, that's normal. You'll understand when you become Eternal. Almost no great commotion on the Chaos Sea can escape the perception of Eternal. The more powerful you are, the smaller your own world becomes..." The Magic Pioneer finally let out a heartfelt sigh.

It seems to have been expressed from a personal experience.

After a moment, the Magic Pioneer composed himself before speaking again, "I understand your demands, but to be on the safe side, it's best to sign this magical contract first."

Having said that, the Magic Pioneer reached out and gently grabbed into a magical vortex. After a moment of searching, he took out a golden-glowing parchment of contracts.

On the surface of the contract, countless intricate Magic Runes were intertwined into chains, exuding a chilling and terrifying aura, like a tightly ordered net, impenetrable.

Angley took the contract, glanced at it, and felt a weight lifted from his heart.

The contract was very strict, but as long as the existence of the Eye of Truth wasn't exposed, it was acceptable to me.

He's already planning to become God of Civilization, what's there to be afraid of?

So he decisively signed the magical contract.

Immediately, he felt a heavy restraint descend upon his soul, as if a great being had reached out and patted his shoulder, its Intimidation overwhelming.

Contract signing.

The atmosphere at the Arcane Council immediately eased.

Kind eyes were cast toward the God of Wisdom, Angley, clearly indicating that from this moment on, they had completely regarded him as one of their own.

The Goddess of the Weave remained silent, but a smile played on her lips; she was pleased with the addition of the God of Wisdom.

In this chaotic era, the stronger and more united one's allies are, the greater the benefits will be for oneself.

Despite their terrifying size, the Divine Realm's power is too dispersed.

The Sun God's prestige was not enough to subdue all the God of Faith.

The Mother of the Stars could barely satisfy the interests of all the gods; she was simply too powerful.

"May the Federation grow stronger and stronger!" The Demon King Goddess murmured to herself. At this moment, she, like the God of Wisdom, Angley, was completely bound to the Adrian Federation and naturally hoped for the Federation's improvement.

The robust structure of the Community shared interests has begun to take effect.

Seeing that the top leadership has reached a consensus.

The Magic Pioneer knew the time had come.

He slowly rose from Subordinate God throne.

Look around.

"Now that everyone has agreed to attack the Elemental Dimension, let's not delay any longer and begin the operation in three days."

"After the meeting, everyone must perform their duties diligently and without the slightest slackening."

"Yes, sir!!"

The senior executives answered in unison.

Their voices echoed through multiple dimensions.

Like a raging storm stirring up waves.

Ripples began to spread from the very beginning.

Until the sea surface was once again filled with towering waves.
