The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Chapter 465 The Second Supreme Authority: War is Like Oil Boiling on a Raging Fire

Pano Plane, the capital of the land.

With Lynn's return and the return of his people, the entire city of Earth finally got a long-awaited respite.

Now, the greatest threat to the Pano plane, the water god Hyptis, has been completely defeated.

The next task is to reclaim the lost territories, wipe out the remaining divine army, and remove all the thorns left behind by the civilization of the gods.

Before that, they should return to the capital city and wait for the return of the Sea Emperor and the Wizard of Ord before formulating a new strategy to launch a full-scale counterattack against the areas occupied by the civilization of the gods.

According to what the water god Hyptis had said before, at least 70% of the divine army brought by the various civilizations were used in the ascension ceremony, becoming fuel for faith and divinity.

This is why this legendary archmage, with his profound background, broke through directly to the peak of the lower god level after successfully ascending to godhood.

In other words, the army of gods still active in the Pano plane is less than 30% of its original size.

Moreover, these remnants are scattered throughout the vast and boundless planes.

Some are situated among the nations on the mainland, while others are scattered among the archipelagic kingdoms deep in the ocean.

Even if there are still legendary mages and knights among them, their numbers will not be too many. Most of the powerful figures have probably already become sacrifices in that ascension ceremony.

On the other hand, the wizards...

The number of Morning Star wizards that Lynn mobilized in the two separate occasions had already exceeded fifty.

Led by these Morning Star wizards, their legions launched a counterattack. The ensuing war was less a decisive battle and more a cleanup of the battlefield.

As the supreme commander of this interdimensional war, Lynn did not waste any time.

Upon returning to the capital, he immediately summoned many Morning Star Wizards and concisely assigned them various tasks.

After all, the most difficult and dangerous task, slaying the God of Water, has already been completed.

All that remains is to fully translate victory into results.

Afterwards, Lynn had a brief conversation with the Sea God of Storms and the Wizard of Ald, informing them of the fall of the God of Water and everything that had happened in the universe.

As for the final cleanup work, he entrusted it all to Wizard Ald, Sea Emperor Storm, Wizard Sean, and others.

He himself ventured alone into the depths of the Earth City, his mind involuntarily recalling the words Hercules had left behind before his departure.

It's worth mentioning that Lynn naturally wouldn't let those traitors in Sky City off easily.

But he wasn't in a hurry. The civilization of the gods had already lost its momentum, and Sky City had long lost any chance of turning the tide.

If that's the case, why rush things?

Rather than seeking retribution now, it would be better to wait until the entire Pano plane has been completely reclaimed before leading everyone to Sky City.

At that time, they will attend a banquet under the guise of celebrating their victory, and then use the opportunity of the celebration to settle all old scores.

Only after this can we truly say that we have achieved success, and then we can finally eliminate the rebels.

....................................

The capital of the earth, deep within the grand hall.

This is the most central area of ​​the entire capital city.

The ancient and magnificent hall extends in layers, dividing the interior and exterior into many areas, with intricate and mysterious patterns engraved on the walls.

Despite the erosion of countless years, those patterns still retain a faint glow, clearly traces left behind by the arcane civilization of the previous era.

However, Lynn did not come here to explore the secrets of some ancient arcane mage.

His goal remained the same from beginning to end: to traverse through countless palaces and finally reach the deepest part of the main hall.

What comes into view is a huge "pool".

Of course, it's more like a mud pit than a pool of water.

The soil was quite unique; although it was brownish-yellow, it rippled and flowed like water, incredibly smooth.

If it weren't for the different color, it would be almost indistinguishable from real flowing water.

Ripples spread across the surface of the pool.

At the deepest part of the pool, a round bead the size of a watermelon was slowly rising and falling with the waves of mud.

The bead was entirely brownish-brown, perfectly round and flawless, with no carvings on its surface, yet it naturally exuded a profound and ancient aura.

It is as if its very existence carries the weight of countless mountains and rivers and the endless earth.

This object is none other than the true core of the capital city, the power of the earth.

Or rather, it is the medium that carries the authority of the Pano plane.

With the help of this object, one can perceive and even touch the earth's rules throughout the entire Pano plane.

The war was still ongoing and the situation was constantly changing, so Lynn had no time to study the power of these authorities.

Now, with the fall of the God of Water, the interdimensional war has come to an end.

He finally had time to properly study this treasure.

However, before it actually began, Lynn couldn't help but recall the words Hercules had left behind before he departed.

For a moment, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Is it related to the Radiant Moon Lord behind the Nightmare Rift Valley...?"

Lynn whispered.

According to information revealed by Hercules, the Radiant Moon and the forces behind her seem to be plotting an operation against the Goddess of the Magic Network.

As for himself, he was included in the plan because of the residual mark of the Goddess of the Magic Network in his body.

If one is willing to participate and cooperate with the action using the mark, then after the mission is accomplished, one will not only gain the friendship of a Radiant Moon King, but also the qualification to receive a share of supreme authority.

Even Lynn couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion upon thinking about this.

Because he knew all too well what the words "supreme authority" meant.

He even possessed related items himself.

That broken golden scale represents equality, one of the highest authorities.

It now appears that the Radiant Moon King, who is hidden behind the Nightmare Rift, also holds a supreme authority.

Of course, that authority was by no means complete.

In fact, throughout the endless ages, across all the heavens and myriad realms and countless planes, there has never been a supreme authority that has ever been truly complete.

All supreme authority is flawed.

The only difference is how much is missing.

According to Hercules and the Radiant Moon, they are preparing to use that supreme authority to propel the entire wizarding world into a new era.

As for the specific era it was, Lynn couldn't understand it yet, but that didn't stop him from recognizing the amazing value it contained.

After all, that is supreme authority.

Moreover, the conditions offered by the other party were quite generous, even willing to grant him some authority and control.

With such an opportunity presented to him, Lynn naturally had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, according to Hercules, his role in the whole plan was more like that of a decoy.

Their job is to lure out the prey that is hiding in the shadows.

Those truly dangerous figures who exist at the level of the main gods will be dealt with by those radiant moon-crowned beings.

From this perspective, the safety aspect is somewhat guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Lynn's gaze finally returned to the earth's authority floating in the sea of ​​mud.

He suddenly chuckled softly.

"Their generosity... is probably related to my current status and position."

In the past, his relationship with Hercules was more like that of a chess player and a chess piece.

Back then, I was just a junior wizard with some potential.

But things are very different now.

He was one of the four great lords of the Natural God Dynasty, ruling over a territory and holding a high position of power.

If he is unwilling to participate, no one can force him to.

Even His Majesty the Radiant Moon, high above all, would never dare to easily abduct a lord of a natural divine dynasty.

Therefore, the other party will lure them with benefits, treat them with sincerity, and gradually make their move.

Looking back now, perhaps Hercules' personal visit to the Pano plane was itself a gesture of goodwill towards himself.

As for the true value of the so-called Goddess of the Magic Network... it's probably far more complex than Hercules claims; she was likely just giving him face.

Thinking about this, Lynn couldn't help but reconnect all the past events.

"The avatar of the Goddess of the Demonic Web that I offered up was handed over by Hercules to His Majesty the Radiant Moon behind the Nightmare Rift."

"After obtaining it, His Majesty Huiyue seemed to treasure it greatly, and then left the Southern Region."

"Then came the invasion of the Nightmare Rift by the Meteor Council..."

As the clues gradually connect, the previously scattered information finally forms a complete network.

For a moment, even Lynn himself was taken aback.

He then gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have gotten himself into trouble.

If I hadn't given away that avatar of the Goddess of the Demonic Net, then Her Majesty the Radiant Moon might not have left the Nightmare Rift.

In this way, the nightmarish Great Rift Valley battle that later swept across the entire Southern Region might not have broken out.

The goddess of darkness, Shar, would not appear there, nor would she leave that dark mark on herself.

Thinking of this, Lynn's expression turned somewhat strange.

"What's this?"

"My past self shot an arrow, which then traveled through time and hit my future self?" He shook his head slightly, unable to suppress a laugh.

Now that I know so many secrets, looking back at those things that happened, I feel a strange sense of absurdity, as if fate is playing tricks on us.

Who could have imagined that this would later sweep across the entire Southern Region, drawing in countless powerful figures?

Tracing back to the source, it turned out to be related to a divine body he had sent away years ago.

The purpose of giving up his divine body was merely to protect his weak self from the clutches of Aquila...

Despite her feelings, Lynn didn't take it too seriously.

Since it has already happened, there is no point in dwelling on it.

Moreover, he is now in the Eastern Region, ruling over a territory of the Natural God Dynasty.

There are no plans to return to the Southern Region in the near future.

Even if the world overturns and mountains and rivers collapse there, it won't affect him for the time being.

"Since Hercules said he would contact me before the operation begins, it means there won't be any changes in the short term."

"In that case, we don't need to worry about that matter for now."

Lynn slowly exhaled, suppressing all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the inheritance mark that Wu Xianzuo had previously given him immediately appeared.

It contains the second volume of "The Body of a Martial Immortal".

The situation in the Pano plane is now largely settled.

Wizard Ald, Sea King Storm, and Sean are leading a wizarding army to reclaim lost territory.

He himself, on the contrary, had a rare period of leisure time.

This is a good opportunity to study the body-refining inheritance from a powerful expert in the Morning Star Realm.

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Lynn's eyes.

"In this extraterritorial war against the Natural God Dynasty, the planes under my jurisdiction have thankfully avoided any major problems."

"For a level 5 lord, this is a respectable achievement."

"I wonder what the situation is like on the other battlefields now..."

Thinking of this, Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly.

He then raised his hand and gently pressed the mark of inheritance onto his brow.

Mental energy then surged into it.

The next moment, a torrent of information surged in, and Lynn's consciousness was completely immersed in it.

"The Body of a Martial Immortal... The culmination of a lifetime of cultivation by the Morning Star Realm expert, Hercules..."

....................................

In the capital city of the earth.

Lin En was immersed in the inheritance of "The Body of a Martial Immortal," his mind clear and focused as he comprehended its many mysteries.

The smoke of war has not yet completely dissipated, but for him now, the overall situation is already settled.

Therefore, it can be described as a peaceful and tranquil time.

However, compared to Lynn's composure at this moment.

In the distant Sky City, a Morning Star Wizard was as restless as an ant on a hot plate.

This person was none other than Bryce, a student of the great sage Moonshadow Wizard.

Deep within the Sky City, in the temple, lies the very place where the authority of the heavens resides.

If the authority of the earth resides in that ocean of soil flowing like water, then the palace where the authority of the sky resides is a completely different sight.

The entire hall has an inverted pyramid-like structure.

It extends downwards layer by layer, but at the very bottom, it is not solid ground.

The place was empty, and what stood out was a vast expanse of clouds, with countless clouds intertwined and swirling, as if connecting the entire sky of the plane.

In the center of the sea of ​​clouds, a bead formed from countless clouds floats silently.

That is the authority over the heavens.

At that moment, a young figure dressed in a white wizard's robe was pacing back and forth.

That once handsome and dashing face is now filled with gloom and irritability.

Bryce frowned.

Finally, he suddenly flicked his long sleeves.

hum!

The power of the heavens trembled slightly, and the cloud bead began to slowly rotate.

The next moment, the churning sea of ​​clouds below suddenly changed.

It was as if some supreme perspective overlooking the entire plane had been activated.

It's like an ancient satellite suspended in Earth's orbit, beginning to change direction and lock onto its target.

The layers of clouds and mist gradually dissipated.

Soon, a clear picture appeared.

It was a vast kingdom situated on a continent.

At this moment, a large number of wizards were moving swiftly through the skies above the kingdom, their dense ranks sweeping across like a torrent.

On the earth, legendary mages and Morningstar wizards are locked in fierce combat.

Rules collide, spells roar.

Even the celestial authorities' spying is subject to interference from the power of the rules, causing some parts of the scene to be constantly distorted.

Even so, the situation can still be easily assessed.

The wizards held an absolute advantage, while the legendary mages of the divine civilizations were suffering a series of defeats and were not far from complete collapse.

Bryce silently waved his sleeve.

The scene changes again, and a view of another country comes into view.

The situation here was even more dire, with the army of the gods collapsing almost at the first contact.

Led by the Morning Star Wizard, the wizard legion swept through the land.

The city fell and the defenses collapsed, with no effective resistance formed whatsoever.

Then came the third image, the fourth image, the fifth image...

Continents, islands, archipelagic kingdoms, floating cities at sea... one battlefield scene after another flashes by.

The results were surprisingly consistent: failure, failure, and more failure.

Later on, even the armies of the gods could no longer be seen.

Many cities were deserted, and the wizard legions could easily take over everything without even fighting, as if the divine army that had once descended here with great momentum had completely evaporated overnight.

As the screen flickered, Bryce's expression grew increasingly grim.

In the end, his handsome face even became slightly distorted.

Because he knew very well what these images meant.

This means that the civilization of the gods has been defeated, and utterly defeated.

The overall situation in the Pano plane has completely collapsed.

Thinking of this, Bryce's heart began to pound faster, and countless chaotic thoughts surged from the depths of his mind.

"Where did all those legendary mages of the civilization of gods go?"

Why haven't we heard anything at all?

"Did the plan to ambush and kill that lord fail?"

"Could it be that even the God of Water has failed?"

"What is the current situation of that lord?"

"Did he discover the problem with Sky City?"

Thinking of this, Bryce's face paled slightly, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.

"impossible……"

"I have already arranged for people to infiltrate the team in advance."

"If there really were an investigation, it's impossible for it to trace back to me so quickly..."

"Moreover, I deliberately left behind a lot of disguises and traces."

"Even if they suspect Sky City, they might not suspect me."

Even with these attempts to comfort himself, Bryce's unease did not lessen in the slightest; on the contrary, it intensified.

Because he knew that his greatest reliance was gone, and the civilization of the gods had been defeated, utterly and completely defeated.

Thinking of this, Bryce finally couldn't help but grit his teeth, and a look of almost uncontrollable anger and resentment appeared in his eyes.

"waste!"

"They're all useless!"

"They all talked a big game back then, but when it came down to it, they failed so miserably!"

"Damn the civilization of gods... they're a complete bunch of useless trash!" (End of Chapter)
