A Wizard’s Secret

As a Mind Power Master, Merlin was highly sensitive to mind imprints. Immediately, his Mind Power discovered that this dimension did not have a Great Legend’s imprint.

“There’s no Wizard Saitu’s mind imprint but there’s a godly aura though it’s very weak…”

Merlin retracted his Mind Power, and muttered in the direction of the dimension.

“There’s a god? If the aura is very weak, then there’re a few possibilities. Maybe, as you said, this dimension used to be controlled by Wizard Saitu but for some unknown reason, perhaps Wizard Saitu’s death, the mind imprint disappeared. Then, the dimension gave birth to a god or the previously suppressed god regained its consciousness… Regardless, this god’s ability must be slightly weaker or still bounded.”

Alcra had many speculations, and was not at all cowered by the existence of a god. Searching for dimensions in the open territory would naturally result in some encounters with the gods born in the dimensions. However, due to their seclusion, as long as the gods were born in a dimension, and did not step out to engage with other gods and foreign tribes, they were not really fearsome.

Even gods who were comparable to a Great Legend could be defeated by the most ordinary Legends. Unless the gods belong to a certain god organization, then it would be more challenging.

In the vast Void Zone, amid millions of dimensions, if one were to wonder which existence was the most widespread, it was undoubtedly the gods!

This was because the gods were born gradually following the birth of a dimension. They were nurtured by the dimensions as the master of all living creatures. Almost every foreign tribe had experienced an era of being ruled by the gods.

Whether it was the Giant Tribe, Tree Tribe or Rock Tribe as well as the Spell Caster civilization, it was only after getting rid of the rule of the gods that they were able to enter the Void Zone, and achieve rapid advancement.

At the same time, the gods began to feel threatened, so some of the dimension gods began to leave their own dimension voluntarily, and exchange experiences with the nearby gods. They had also united together, and formed god organizations.

Upon forming the god organizations, they became a fearsome force. The god organizations were ruled top-down and adhered to a very strict hierarchy. They were divided into lower rank gods, middle rank gods, upper rank gods, and the most divine lord god.

The founder of every god organization was known as the lord god. These lord gods might even be comparable to the Ultimate Arcane Wizards. A god organization might encompass hundreds and thousands of dimensions due to the great number of gods. Moreover, the gods from the same god organization had some special connection that could surpass time and space in the Void Zone. Two gods from the same god organization could also join forces, and increase their powers several folds.

This was the benefit of a god organization!

Following the rise of more and more foreign tribes venturing into the Void Zone, the gods began to feel threatened. The eight largest god organizations had formed a God Alliance. Consequently, this alliance had become the indisputable top faction of the entire Void Zone.

Nevertheless, the God Alliance was very widely scattered as it spanned hundreds of thousands or even millions of dimensions. Moreover, it was composed of several god organizations, which were not completely in harmony with one another. Therefore, the God Alliance would only unite in times of crisis. Otherwise, they were usually autonomous.

Precisely for this reason, the God Alliance was not able to expand.

According to the founding principles of the God Alliance, new gods that were born in every dimension would automatically become a member of the God Alliance. If any civilization killed the gods, they would become enemies of the God Alliance. However, this had become nothing but an empty threat. Upon encountering weak gods who were born in a dimension, many of the powerful foreign tribes would simply kill them.

The open territory was a long distance away from the core of the God Alliance, and there was almost no representation of the God Alliance faction. Therefore, even if the dimensions here gave birth to a god, there was no need to be afraid as it would be a very weak god.

Hence, despite hearing that there was a godly aura in this dimension, Alcra still appeared excited to explore the Saitu Dimension.

“Wizard Merlin, even if there’s a god controlling this dimension, the aura is so weak. We don’t have to be afraid, and we’ll be able to escape anyway.”

After listening to Alcra’s reasoning, Merlin deliberated for a moment and nodded. “Very well but we must be more careful. The god here is a little weird. Besides the god’s aura, I can also sense some Spell Casters’ aura…”

This was the main reason why Merlin dared to enter this dimension as he had sensed the aura of Spell Casters. The Spell Casters and the gods were natural enemies because the Spell Casters would not believe in any gods whereas the gods would not tolerate anyone resisting their divinity.

Therefore, having the aura of Spell Casters in this dimension proved that, for some reason, the god had not become so powerful as to control the entire dimension.

Thus, the two of them quickly flew toward the Saitu Dimension.

…

With a head of long blond hair, wearing the most expensive golden silk Wizard robes, a valuable magic staff in hand, handsome looks, and the fact that he was already a Ninth-level Spell Caster at the age of thirty, Paul was a highly enviable prodigy Wizard in the entire Holy City.

However, at this time, Paul was leading exactly a hundred young Wizards who were below the Seventh-level but none of them was older than twenty years old. According to the instructions of the Holy City Teacher, these Wizards would be the last seeds of the Spell Casters of Holy City. They would be led by Paul as the most gifted Wizard, to a secret place. This was in order to preserve the seed of the Spell Casters as their last legacy.

Paul turned back, and gazed at Holy City behind him. He looked at the Wizard Tower soaring into the sky, the dense Runic Magic Circles, and the twenty over Great Wizards floating in the sky. They represented almost the strongest force of the Spell Casters.

This was the final battle between the Spell Casters and the Church of Demon. The staunch believers of the Church of Demon had always declared that the evil Demon God Vauna would be completely awakened.

Therefore, before the final battle, the twenty over Great Wizards of Holy City unanimously decided that the most gifted Paul would lead a hundred of the most talented Spell Casters to leave Holy City as well as the final battle, and find a secret place to hide.

If Holy City had won the final battle, then there was no doubt that the Spell Casters would usher in a new era of development, and become the master of this world. On the contrary, if they had lost, then this group of Wizards would become the last remaining legacy of the Spell Casters, which was of great significance.

Regardless, Paul was unwilling to leave like this. He wanted to stay in Holy City. As a young Ninth-level Spell Caster, his abilities were quite powerful.

“Abhorrent Church of Demon. Teacher Anna, you must stay safe!”

Although Paul was furious, and desired to remain in Holy City, he did not dare disobey his teacher’s orders. Moreover, he also understood the significance of the task given to him.

Behind him, the eyes of those one hundred young Wizards clearly revealed feelings of confusion and terror. They did not know what to do in the future, so they were counting on Paul to lead them. This was also the crucial reason why the Great Wizards of Holy City had selected Paul.

“Dear Wizards, Holy City is now preparing for the final battle with the evil Church of Demon. The situation is highly critical, so we shoulder the important responsibility of continuing the legacy of Spell Casters. Hence, there’s no room for mistakes. From this day onward, you must follow my orders!”

The moment Paul’s voice fell, many of the young Wizards showed a look of horror. Although they were all prodigy Wizards, they had been nurtured systematically in Holy City, and rarely went out to experience real combat. They were considered greenhouse flowers who had never experienced a storm.

“Wizard Paul, will Holy City be able to defeat the Church of Demon?”

This was a question that most of the Wizards wanted to ask.

Paul held the magic staff in a deathly grip. He really wanted to tell them the truth, that in this final battle, the winning chances of Holy City was very slim. However, he did not want these young Wizards to be discouraged. After all, this was the kindling of the Spell Casters.

So, Paul took a deep breath and said in a firm voice, “Yes, we’ll definitely win. In addition, the Great Legend Saitu hasn’t returned. He’ll definitely come back and help us defeat the evil Demon!”

Upon mention of Legend Saitu, these young Wizards’ eyes revealed a glimmer of hope. It was Legend Saitu who came from beyond the heavens, and saved everyone from the rule of the evil Demon God. He had also passed down a lot of knowledge, allowing the fragile Normies to possess powerful abilities and become powerful Wizards!

“Hoo…”

A gentle breeze blew, and everyone felt a tinge of chill. Paul was just about to lead the Wizards away when he saw that the young Wizards were standing rooted to their spots with a calm expression on their faces.

“Don’t be afraid…”

A stranger’s voice spoke. Paul turned around sharply, and saw that two strangers had appeared behind him. One of them was emitting obvious elemental fluctuations. He was a Spell Caster.

On the other hand, the other being looked quite terrifying. His entire body seemed to exude an emerald glow, and did not even resemble a “person”.

Of course, these two were Merlin and Alcra who had entered the Saitu Dimension. When they had entered this dimension, they immediately noticed numerous Spell Casters in direct confrontation with some believers carrying a godly aura. It seemed like a huge battle was imminent.

Seeing such a tense and complicated situation, naturally, Merlin and Alcra could not rush into the situation. They could sense that the dimension’s Elemental Origin was being controlled, probably by this god with a seemingly weak aura.

In order to gain an understanding of this god, Merlin was looking for someone to ask. Finally, he spotted Paul’s unusual group of Wizards. According to Merlin’s evaluation, he was of course, able to see that this group of Wizards led by Paul had good Spell Caster Qualities, and were very young. It was not difficult to infer that the Spell Casters had made their worst-case scenario plans.

Therefore, Merlin wielded a Hallucinating spell, causing the one hundred Wizards to silently fall into an illusion. This was an easy task for the current Merlin.

He only excluded Paul, the Ninth-level prodigy Wizard, so he should be able to understand quite a bit.

“Who are you? What have you done to my Wizards?”

Paul immediately became cautious but he did not attack. The fact that someone was able to control so many Wizards, and without his realization at that, stunned him to the core. It was simply unheard of.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m only making them quiet down temporarily. They won’t be in danger. As for our identities…”

Merlin paused. Since there were Spell Casters in this dimension, and were in confrontation with the believers of the god, Merlin had his next words well thought out. With a solemn expression, he said, “We come from beyond the heavens, bearing Teacher Saitu’s instructions, to come to this dimension!”

“Legend Saitu? You… Both of you are Legend Saitu’s disciples?”

A massive storm rippled through Paul’s heart. He stared at Merlin with disbelief!
