A Wizard’s Secret

The Origin was immense. Tyron and the rest had flown for a very long time and still, they had not located the Power of Rebirth. They were even starting to suspect if they had gone in the wrong direction.

Nonetheless, they dared not turn back to search. If they bumped into the Void Beasts, they would be in trouble, especially since a master-level existence had been born among the Void Beasts. None of the five most preeminent Major Cosmos Absolute Beings were a match for the master-level Void Beasts.

Therefore, they dared not turn back. All they could do was put on a bold face and continue forward.

Compared to the anxiety of Tyron and the rest, Merlin appeared rather calm. This was because in his Illusory World, he was gradually releasing the strand of Power of Destruction he had absorbed. It was now wreaking havoc in the Illusory World.

Although Merlin had only absorbed one strand of the Power of Destruction, explosions were occurring everywhere in the Illusory World, exhibiting signs of annihilation. Therefore, this strand of Power of Destruction was slowly growing as well.

Wherever there was destruction, the Power of Destruction would grow in strength!

Although the Power of Destruction was slowly strengthening, Merlin did not stop it as its presence seemed to cause his Illusory World to expand at a greater rate. Initially, it was merely equivalent to around three thousand Latitude Cosmoses. Now, it had enlarged significantly.

Three thousand and one hundred, three thousand and two hundred, three thousand and three hundred…

Merlin’s Illusory World was swiftly expanding but Merlin had fallen into deep contemplation. The simple expansion of the world was no longer that important to him. Rather, he was pondering upon the Power of Destruction.

“The Power of Destruction – what kind of force is it? What’s its essence?”

Merlin wished to understand the Power of Destruction’s essence. He wished to ascertain why destruction would produce the Power of Destruction. If he could do so, maybe his world would be further perfected.

A perfect world – every Controller found it difficult to imagine this.

Even though each Controller controlled a world of their own, this world was not perfect. Many other factors were involved to perfect a world.

For example, there was an issue of a Latitude Cosmos’ limit in accommodation. If one wished to accommodate more contenders or expand the world’s limits, one must continuously perfect their world.

If the world was constantly perfected, its limits would continually expand. It could consume more energy and thus grow more massive in the future.

However, a perfected world was not so easily attained. Even with Merlin, his Illusory World was far from being perfect. Right now, he had not understood the Power of Destruction.

If he gradually comprehend this, then the Illusory World, in the future, would produce the Root of Destruction. With the Root of Destruction in charge, the future Illusory World would be invincible. No matter how it was destroyed, it would not be affected. Furthermore, this would even strengthen Merlin’s Illusory World. The greater the devastation, the more formidable the energy of the Illusory World.

Of course, it was not that easy to be enlightened about the Root of Destruction. Therefore, Merlin was no longer that passionate about the Power of Rebirth of the Origin. As long as he could be enlightened about the Power of Destruction’s essence and condense the Root of Destruction’s natural order in the Illusory World, his Illusory World would be as stable as a boulder, truly surpassing all of the current Major Cosmos Absolute Beings.

At that point, even Tyron would be no match for him. Therefore, the current continuous and ceaseless expansion of Merlin’s Illusory World was no big deal.

Three thousand and eight hundred, four thousand…

In the blink of an eye, Merlin’s Illusory World had expanded into a fearsome world comparable to four thousand Latitude Cosmoses. Among the Medium Cosmos Absolute Beings, this was considered a formidable existence. Although it was still not at its peak, it had surpassed the majority of Medium Cosmos Absolute Beings. After all, if Merlin could enlarge his world to the point where it was comparable to ten thousand Latitude Cosmoses, he would be a true Major Cosmos Absolute Being.

Merlin was not worried. It was not difficult for his Illusory World to grow until it was on par with a Major Cosmos because presently, he had the Power of Destruction. He was continuously learning more about the Power of Destruction, causing the Illusory World to expand without stopping at an astonishing rate. This was even faster than those Controllers who had refined their Latitude Cosmos.

This was thanks to Merlin’s incomparably sturdy natural order. Otherwise, if other Controllers had dared to absorb the Power of Destruction into their world, they would have collapsed long ago.

…

No one knew how vast the Origin was. Tyron and the rest had flown for over a century. Other than the sweep of darkness that surrounded them everywhere, they did not notice anything else.

There was not even a trace of the Power of Destruction left. Although they had discovered nothing because there was no Power of Destruction, they did not bump into any Void Beasts either, so they did not encounter any danger.

“This Origin is so enormous. When will we find the Power of Rebirth?”

At the moment, even Tyron was beginning to get somewhat anxious. It had been so long and they did not know how many master-level Void Beasts had been born. If the king was truly produced among the master-level Void Beasts, they would not stand a chance.

It was not just Tyron. The other four Major Cosmos Absolute Beings also wore despondent looks. Their initial optimism had faded long ago. Now, they were even suspecting if the Power of Rebirth existed.

“Hoo…”

Suddenly, in the endless darkness, everyone felt a hint of breeze. This breeze was even mixed with a floral fragrance.

“A breeze? Energy doesn’t even exist here, how can there be wind? Moreover, it’s pitch-dark all around and heavy with lifelessness. How can there be a floral fragrance?”

The top five Major Cosmos Absolute Beings were preeminent existences among the Controllers. Naturally, they noticed what was unusual about this and their hearts were enlivened.

A place with a floral fragrance proved the existence of life. Perhaps this was the Power of Rebirth that they had been arduously seeking for over the past century.

“Search, we must search for the source of this fragrance!”

Tyron was decisive and cried out loudly. They did not have to go through an exhausting search as they moved further ahead, they could smell the fragrance of flowers.

Furthermore, this floral fragrance grew more intense. They did not have to search on purpose to locate the direction of this fragrance as it was somewhere up ahead.

Everyone became excited and even Merlin raised his head slightly. He no longer focused his attention on understanding the Power of Destruction’s essence but started to search along with the rest.

“Look quickly, that… What’s that?”

Suddenly, the Eastern Region Major Cosmos Absolute Being yelled out hoarsely. As they looked to where he pointed, they saw a dazzling light that was vaguely like an immense light source. Nonetheless, no one in the group was able to discern the scene in the light source.

“In this light, I sense tenderness.”

“I sense forgiveness.”

“I sense vitality.”

“I sense order.”

Tyron and the rest stopped in their tracks. The radiance in the enormous light source had blanketed all of them and waves of extraordinary sensations sprang up in them.

They had not felt like this for a very long time. This light caused these preeminent Major Cosmos Absolute Beings to feel as if they should bow down in worship.

“The Power of Rebirth, this must be the Origin’s Power of Rebirth!”

The Eastern Region Major Cosmos Absolute Being shouted emotionally, his voice cracking. Everyone stared at that enormous beam of radiance, their faces filled with ecstatic surprise.

“Whether or not it’s the Power of Rebirth, we’ll know once we enter and take a look.”

Tyron breathed in deeply. Taking the lead, he launched himself toward that massive ball of light.
