A Wizard’s Secret

After flying for a short while, Tyron stopped. They dared not even make a sound as a great number of Void Beasts had appeared in front of them. There were at least a thousand of them crowded together.

More than a thousand Void Beasts – this number was too terrifying. Forget about a thousand. Even a hundred of them could easily wreck countless Latitude Regions. All Free Beings and Controllers could not do anything against them.

With this in mind, Tyron and Merlin felt a lingering fear. They had decided to come here without knowing what they would ultimately encounter.

“Don’t say anything first. Look at these Void Beasts. What are they doing in their gathering?”

Tyron asked softly, cautiously.

There were so many Void Beasts. They usually did not live together but had now assembled here. It was far too strange. Nonetheless, the Void Sea was a forbidden area for Free Beings and Controllers in the first place. It was not surprising that there would be endless mysteries in this place.

Thus, Tyron and Merlin hid secretly on one side, waiting in silence. This wait lasted for ten years.

Ten years – forget about Tyron, even to Merlin, this was a negligible number. It passed by in the blink of an eye. Just when Tyron and Merlin thought they would have to wait longer, something finally changed among these Void Beasts.

“Rumble.”

The Void Sea had no way of transmitting energy fluctuations but Merlin and Tyron could distinctly feel that their surroundings seemed to have trembled slightly.

Following that, in the pitch-black sweep of the Void Sea, a gigantic light gate gradually emerged. This light gate illuminated the surrounding area by tens of thousands of miles. Its radiance was filled with a gentle force that caused one to feel tranquil.

“This… What’s this?”

Tyron and Merlin were astounded deep down because this force made them feel so serene as if they would willingly throw themselves into that massive light gate.

Merlin had a feeling that there was surely some great secret behind that light gate. Moreover, it would be a huge opportunity that all Controllers had dreamed of. Even so, with the current situation where Void Beasts were everywhere, they dared not act rashly.

They waited for the Void Beasts to enter the light gate. When there were about ten or so Void Beasts left, only then did Merlin and Tyron start to move. They planned to follow these Void Beasts and sneak stealthily into the light gate.

However, at this point, four figures suddenly rushed out. These figures even immediately started to clash against the remaining Void Beasts and they were not losing either.

“What? The Absolute Beings of the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Regions? They’ve discovered this place?”

Realizing this, Tyron no longer hesitated and rushed out with Merlin. As the Central Region Major Cosmos Absolute Being, he was the mightiest existence. The moment Tyron attacked, he triumphed over two Void Beasts instantly and Merlin was also contending against another Void Beast.

Therefore, in a short moment, the remaining Void Beasts had been chased away. It was just that these Void Beasts longed to enter this gigantic light gate, so they constantly snarled at a distance, still unwilling to leave.

“Swoosh swoosh.”

The Absolute Beings from the other four regions had noticed Tyron and swiftly gathered here, wearing looks of delight.

“Tryon, you’ve found this place too.”

The Eastern Region Major Cosmos Absolute Being said with a smile.

Tyron frowned and swept his gaze over the four of them, then said in a low voice, “Do you know about the secret of this light gate? What’s inside?”

It was not surprising that Tyron would suspect this. The four of them had acted collectively. They had reunited long before and their goal was obvious too, which was to enter the light gate.

“Well…”

The Eastern Region Major Cosmos Absolute Being was somewhat hesitant. The Southern Region Major Cosmos Absolute Being frowned and asked Tyron, “Could it be that you didn’t come because you know about the secret here?”

Tyron’s face did not change as he said coldly, “Without meaning to, we came here by accident and saw that there were many Void Beasts gathered here. Therefore, we hid on one side.”

The Southern Region Major Cosmos Absolute Being barked out a bitter, helpless laugh. “How lucky of you. Did you come here by accident? We entered the Void Sea before you did and noticed the abnormality of these Void Beasts. We learned from an Absolute Being who had explored the Void Sea before that the Void Sea is a very special place. It contains the Power of Destruction and Rebirth. We call this the Origin!”

“The Origin? The Power of Destruction and Rebirth?”

The eyes of Tyron and Merlin brightened. Could it be that the Origin was in this light gate before them?

As if guessing what Merlin and Tyron were thinking, the Southern Region Major Cosmos Absolute Being nodded. “That’s right, the Origin is before us. However, we’re merely hypothesizing. In the Origin, even the Void Beasts yearn to obtain the Power of Destruction because they represent destruction. If they obtained this Power of Destruction, they could continue to grow. We suspected that these Void Beasts wish to enter the Origin, obtain the Power of Destruction and be born as a Void Beast King.”

“A Void Beast King? What threat does it pose to us?”

Merlin suddenly piped up and asked.

“Tyron, who’s this?”

The Major Cosmos Absolute Beings of the other four regions stared at Merlin suspiciously. Naturally, with one glance, they could see the tremendous power contained in Merlin’s body. However, he was merely a Medium Cosmos Absolute Being. However, Merlin was able to contend against a formidable Void Beast earlier and was only slightly inferior to them.

“My disciple, Merlin! This time I’ve brought him here in search of an opportunity. This Void Beast King that you speak of, is it as we’ve once predicted?”

Tyron’s expression appeared rather solemn. This was not a good thing.

The Southern Region Major Cosmos Absolute Being nodded. “That’s right, it’s just as we predicted. Once a Void Beast King is born, we’re done for. Not only does a Void Beast King has a strength that far surpasses most Void Beasts, more importantly, it can summon all Void Beasts. It’s like a pack of wolves – with an alpha, they would form a pack. It would be a destructive force that’s nearly unstoppable!”

Merlin understood now. He did not expect things would be so serious.

Void Beasts currently did not have a Void Beast King, so they were scattered and unorganized. Even if they broke through the barrier, it would be one or two of them. This was not much of a threat for they would only cause some destruction.

However, if a King was produced among the Void Beasts, that would be horrifying. A Void Beast King could summon all Void Beasts. Thousands of Void Beasts, mighty and majestic or even more, surging forth together – what could stop them?

It was likely that all of the Latitude Regions would be easily wiped out. No Free Being or Controller was able to stop a force like this.

“We mustn’t let the Void Beasts produce a Void Beast King!”

Tyron immediately understood the four other Absolute Beings’ plan. Thus, they looked toward that gigantic light gate. Perhaps when they stepped in, they would face endless danger.

Nonetheless, they had no other choice. Moreover, behind this light gate, there were opportunities too. They did not care for the Power of Destruction but if they could obtain the Power of Rebirth, they would have a way to deal with the Void Beasts.

Danger and opportunity coexisted in the Origin behind the light gate!

“Haha, alright. Today, we five top Absolute Beings will join forces and try our luck in the Origin…”

The five most preeminent Controllers, also known as Creators, represented the greatest force among Free Beings and Controllers. Only they could stop this calamity.

“Swish.”

Merlin followed the five of them too and immediately flew into the light gate.
