Chapter 420 Extraterritorial Warfare, Rules of the Soul Forging Tower
At the top of the wizard tower, which blooms like a flower bud, within the Rockefeller family's estate, a figure has already descended.
He was dressed in a luxurious and elaborate aristocratic robe, with intricate patterns that seemed to be woven from rules and energy.
The steps beneath your feet are not physical steps, but layers of slowly gathering petals that converge and lift each other, transforming into a soft yet stable "throne platform".
He stepped onto it, descending slowly and steadily, with flowers raining down and the world like a curtain, as if a king had returned!
And this being, who was worshipped by all the Morning Star wizards present, was none other than Sean Rockefeller, the Wind-Listening Green-Ping Wizard, a Level Six Morning Star Wizard!
The true "pillar of stability" for the Rockefeller family!
As his figure gradually came into view, the strange phenomenon that had just torn the sky and connected all the heavens quietly subsided.
The cracked sky slowly heals, and the layers of space close and return to their original positions.
However, after a short while, the sky returned to its clear, deep blue color, as if nothing had ever happened.
Only the falling petals proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.
………………
Sunlight streamed down, filtering through the rain of flowers, and fell upon that figure.
He was tall and slender, with a long robe flowing down his back, exuding an elegant and composed demeanor.
But the face was unexpected; it was young and handsome, even... carrying a touch of gentle, noble air.
He looks to be only in his early twenties, which is a stark contrast to his identity as a "Level Six Morning Star Wizard"!
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...
Almost no one could connect the person before them with the one who controlled a region and was known as the "Uncrowned Lord".
But it is precisely beneath this gentleness and elegance that lies a chilling aura, like a poisonous flower in full bloom, beautiful yet deadly.
……
"Lord Ye Feng Qingping!"
Suddenly, a Morning Star Wizard could no longer contain himself and spoke first, his tone urgent and respectful!
"The two wizards, the Might of Conflict and the Soul of Slaughter... have been captured by the newly appointed lord and taken to the lord's manor!"
"besides……"
"That person is also pushing forward with the three major regulations, which is... an open declaration of war against us!"
……
One person spoke up, and the others echoed him, their voices rising and falling as they recounted Lynn's actions one by one!
The fact that the two Morning Star wizards were suppressed and imprisoned on the spot was mentioned repeatedly!
Clearly, this incident has left a very deep shadow in their hearts!
In fact, the reason they had remained inactive before was not because they were truly willing to back down, but because everyone was insecure!
If Lynn was able to suppress two people, it meant that he could also suppress a third or fourth person!
No one wants to be the next to be detained unless they are absolutely certain!
But things are different now. With the return of Sean Rockefeller, they finally have a leader and the strength to counter Lynn.
Therefore, while stating the facts, what everyone really wanted was to save people, to rescue the two imprisoned Morning Star Wizards!
It not only stabilizes public morale but also rebuilds authority!
They believed that this "great nobleman" before them would understand this.
………………
The petals drifted down slowly, and the air fell silent once more.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the sorcerer Lingfeng Qingping finally raised her hand gently.
A simple gesture brought the entire room to an instant silence, and all sound ceased!
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
That smile was gentle, yet it instinctively made people afraid to look directly at it for too long.
“Anton had already informed me of all that you’re talking about.”
The voice was neither hurried nor slow.
"rest assured."
He said it casually, in a calm tone.
"The Warlock of Conflict and the Warlock of the Soul of Slaughter will be fine."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Morning Star Wizards were not satisfied; instead, they all frowned slightly, because the two Morning Star Wizards were, of course, unharmed.
But what would it mean if they were imprisoned in the lord's manor?
Is it possible that Lady Lingfeng Qingping is not planning to confront that lord head-on? Are you merely saying these things to appease them?
However, the Wind-Listening Qingping Wizard glanced around and seemed to see what the Morning Star Wizards were thinking, so she added a sentence.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through space, looking at a being who was not present, his tone gentle yet cold.
"As for that level four lord... he won't be around for long."
"If he refuses to cooperate with the century-long term as lord, then let him... die early."
He spoke the last two words very softly, yet they sent a jolt through the hearts of all the Morning Star Wizards present!
What do you mean?! What is Lady Lingfeng Qingping trying to do by saying this? Does she really intend to attack that leader?
Although they also wished the newly appointed lord would die on the spot, it was impossible for them to openly take action.
The people on the other side of the Ring of Life aren't just sitting idly by; they're bound to react.
But Lady Lingfeng Qingping's words imply that she intends to directly take action against the newly promoted leader?!
Before anyone could fully process what she had just said, the wizard Lingfeng Qingping's gaze darkened slightly, and she added meaningfully:
"In a while... the extraterritorial battlefield... will open. And anything... can happen on the battlefield."
But the Morning Star Wizards around them were getting more and more confused. The extraterrestrial battlefield? Could it be that a great battle was about to take place?
In a normal battle, it's impossible to kill the lord while the tide is rolling, right? Unless...
The eyes of many Morning Star Wizards narrowed, as if they had thought of something!
....................................
Meanwhile, within the Rockefeller family's estate, many Morning Star wizards gathered to welcome Sean Rockefeller's return.
On the other side, in the lord's city, inside the lord's manor.
Lynn, who had just entered the fifth level, was also busy at the moment.
He has indeed delegated authority over many matters within the Xiyuan Sen region, including government affairs, finance, and resource allocation.
He left the matter to Beverly, along with Gren, Aaron, Ian, and others, and on the surface, he seemed to have become a "hands-off lord."
But in reality, this is just a way of diverting energy from "superficial matters," not a way of being able to relax and focus solely on cultivation.
………………
After breaking through to the fifth level, Lynn only stayed in the training tower for a few days to stabilize his realm, sort out his mental domain, and adapt to the new level of "fifth-level Morning Star Wizard".
Especially the second rule, the combat rule.
Once he had fully mastered his own power, he did not hesitate and immediately left the seclusion!
His first stop was the library deep inside the lord's mansion.
This library is almost ridiculously large.
From bottom to top, layer upon layer, the bookshelves are like a forest, one after another, almost without end.
Each layer is strictly divided, and knowledge is meticulously categorized, from basic theories to forbidden secrets.
It encompasses everything from the history of this realm to the records of the heavens!
Once Lynn entered, his goal was extremely clear.
There is only one core he is looking for: the Soul Forging Tower!
On the one hand, he perused the museum's collection of books, meticulously analyzing the vast amount of information to sift out all records related to the "Soul Casting Tower".
Even a vague mention is not overlooked.
On the other hand, he directly accessed the data reserves of the "Primordial Seed" located between his eyebrows.
It contains high-level information far exceeding that of ordinary books, and even involves some forbidden knowledge!
The two sets of information systems, one public and one secret, constantly intersected, collided, and were compared in his mind!
In addition, Lynn did a third thing: she proactively contacted the network of people she had built up over the years.
For example, they could inquire about major events that had recently occurred in the endless universe, such as the Archd Wizard within the Wizard Council system, or the Sea Emperor of the Tide who had returned to the Deep Sea Civilization and was preparing to break through to the sixth level. This was especially true of the Deep Sea Civilization, compared to a top-tier system like the Wizard Civilization.
It is only a medium-level civilization, with a lower tolerance for risk, and is more likely to experience fluctuations first in the event of "abnormal events"!
Lynn's judgment was simple: if some kind of large-scale upheaval really occurred in the endless heavens, then the weaker civilizations would definitely be the first to "run into trouble".
All of this stemmed from what he witnessed in the Soul Forging Tower and the words spoken by that unknown being.
Although Lynn stayed within the wizarding civilization, theoretically, the chaos outside had little to do with him.
However, it should be noted that some kind of "anomaly" is occurring in the endless planes of the heavens, and this anomaly has even affected the operation of the Soul Forging Tower itself!
Lynn was also counting on the Soulforging Tower to help him advance past the Morning Star Wizard stage, so he was naturally very concerned about it.
………………
Time passed quickly, and in this near-maximum operating state, three days and three nights went by in the blink of an eye.
In the library, Lynn still stood among the tall bookshelves.
All around, scrolls floated, and spiritual energy, like threads, connected all the information.
Finally, he slowly exhaled, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes, along with a hint of... belated realization.
"I see……"
He spoke softly, murmuring...
“The Soul Forging Tower… is not always open; it has a ‘cycle’.”
"The opening period, or active period, and the cooldown period."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind quickly recalling his previous experiences.
Every detail was pieced together again at this moment.
"When I first started working on the invitation letter, the progress was extremely slow, almost impossible to move forward."
"But in the later stages, the speed suddenly increased dramatically."
"At the time, I simply thought it was because I was in sync with the Soul Forging Tower..."
He shook his head slightly, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his lips.
"It all seems like...good luck now."
He looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of space, and saw the location of the Soul Forging Tower.
"It just so happens to have arrived at the point when it is about to re-enter the activation phase from the cooldown period."
From this perspective, Lynn might even have to "thank" the upheaval that swept across countless heavens and worlds.
If it weren't for that catastrophe of unknown scale, which caused the loss of countless lives...
The Soul Forging Tower is passively "fed," awakening it from its dormancy and bringing it into an active phase.
Therefore, it would be almost impossible for him to condense the "Invitation to the Soul Forging Tower" so smoothly, let alone use it to step into the level of a fifth-level Morning Star Wizard!
Thinking of this, Lynn's eyes flickered slightly.
"In retrospect... this turn of events was actually... beneficial to me."
If the Soul Forging Tower is still in its cooldown period, even if he has an invitation, it will be nothing but a piece of paper, and he will be unable to enter.
They also cannot obtain the kind of mental strength enhancement that can be described as "violent indoctrination"!
Now, the Soul Forging Tower is passively active, the passage is open, and the rules are loosened. This period is an extremely rare "window of opportunity"!
"As long as it remains active..."
Lynn's gaze darkened slightly.
"I still have room for improvement."
As for how long this upheaval will last, no one knows.
But for him, time doesn't need to be too long; just enough is sufficient!
However, Lynn did not relax completely because of this. On the contrary, during the three days and three nights of investigation, he also found some more taboo content related to the Soul Forging Tower.
The "Primordial Seed" between the eyebrows stores information at a level far exceeding that of ordinary books, even reaching the level of the Radiant Moon!
Much of the content is nowhere to be found in the lord's library, as if it had been deliberately erased or was simply not qualified to be recorded.
However, that information was clearly recorded within the primordial seed.
His basic understanding of the Soul Forging Tower was not significantly different from what he already knew.
It does indeed absorb the soul particles of dead beings from all the heavens and myriad worlds, accumulating and condensing them until they eventually form itself.
Those who hold an invitation can enter its area and rapidly enhance themselves by taking advantage of that terrifying "mental concentration difference".
Lynn had already experienced these things firsthand.
But the real key is the "mechanism," and the mechanics of the Soul Forging Tower are clearly explained in the Primal Seed.
Near the Soul Forging Tower, everything that gets close to it has its "soul itself" like a "thin liquid".
The Soul Forging Tower is an extreme example, a "super-high concentration core" formed by the condensation of countless soul particles.
There is a nearly irreparable "concentration difference" between the two.
Given this disparity, rules will naturally come into play.
Just like the most basic diffusion phenomenon, areas with high concentrations will spontaneously flow to areas with low concentrations.
This is the most primitive and irreversible "flattening rule".
So what happens when a "soul individual" approaches the Soul Forging Tower?
The answer is simple.
"perfusion."
Injecting like crazy!
A massive amount of soul particles and spiritual energy will continuously surge in like a tide!
Even if you do nothing, even if you don't understand the underlying principles at all, this process will still happen!
Lynn gently closed her eyes, recalling her state at that time.
"No wonder..."
He muttered to himself.
"I only paused for a moment, and my mental strength was already nearing its limit."
Even after it "overflowed", it continues to grow!
That wasn't him actively cultivating; rather, his soul was being forcibly filled as a "low-concentration container"!
It's easy to imagine that if he hadn't left and had stayed there, the Soul Forging Tower wouldn't have stopped "infusing" him; instead, it would have directly saturated his soul, and the terrifying spiritual power would have torn his spiritual domain to shreds!
The Soul Forging Tower is indeed a good place for cultivation, but it is also an extremely dangerous place!
After Lynn understood the relevant mechanisms of the Soul Forging Tower, he also thought of the terrifyingly powerful person who had spoken to him.
He only stayed for a short while before his mental domain was completely filled, while the powerful figure remained in the Soul Forging Tower for an unknown period of time...
If what the other party said is true, I ran into him the last time I went there, and I ran into him again this time, with decades in between!
If the other party stays there, then how terrifying must their level be, and how vast must the spiritual power they possess be!
"hiss……"
Lynn gasped. He subconsciously compared the Cloud Realm Return to Truth to the other party, but because he lacked imagination about the Radiant Moon Wizard, he couldn't tell who was stronger for the time being.
"In the records of the Primordial Seed, compared to the discovered rules, functional descriptions, and so on... what's rather vague about the Soul Forging Tower is its origin..."
"This thing was not entirely created by an individual, nor did it spontaneously form from endless planes... Its origin remains unknown..."
Lynn narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself.
However, at this moment, a series of messages suddenly flashed, interrupting his attention.
Before Lynn thought it through, he made sure to manage the information carefully, so that only the information he was interested in could be transmitted, such as that from the Sea Emperor and Wizard Ald.
And messages from the other lords on the Ring of Life.
Now, news keeps coming in, including news of Alder and others, as well as news of the other lords.
Among so many messages, the same word appears repeatedly: ...
"The Civilization of Gods..."
Seeing this familiar civilization reappear, Lynn took a deep breath, looking at the wealth of information, sensing something big was about to happen! (End of Chapter)
