Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
How the world was born?
Where did we come from? What was the source of all life? How did the rules of the world come into being? Where did the power of arcane magic and wizard come from? What was the essence of mana?
The so-called Creator... did it truly... exist?
Generations of wizards pursued and strived to unravel such ultimate questions and the mysteries of truth, and thus derived numerous guesses, and there were discussions on those issues in the manuscripts, notes, and autobiographies of the great wizards and senior professionals.
Eventually those inquires would return to one question – how the world was born.
There were endless speculations and deductions, they were divided into factions and doctrines, but no one could arrive at a solution to the problem, even the Mythical Wizards, even the supreme masters of the Floating-Space Towers couldn’t be sure which guesses of any theory was correct.
It was only until the master of the Ocean Song Floating-Space Tower, Adriana, passed on all the information and discoveries she saw back to the Eternal Floating-Space City.
The Eternal Floating-Space City floated on the orbit of the Starsoul World and revolved around the world, because only in that way could the professionals of the Wizard Alliance able to connect to the magic network and communicate with the power of the world’s aboriginal.
Hence, even if they had created a Floating-Space City, but the Wizard Alliance was still not completely out of the shackles of the world, the Starsoul World was the source of their survival; the source of the power of wizards.
That was why wizards had treated mana as the world’s only source of power, because only in the core of the world could it evolved and gave birth to such power, and therefore led to the existence of the magic network.
Just then, in the Great Hall of Truth of the Wizard Tower, the entire Wizard’s Parliament was gathered, not all members of the Wizard’s Parliament had the opportunity to participate in that meeting, only the core members and all the masters of the Floating-Space Towers could participate.
As Catherine, the master of the tower, played the video of the death of the chaos worm and the birth of a world was revealed in front of everyone, the hall was instantly silent as if one could hear a pin dropped.
Several wizards stood up from their seats, from the front to the back, everyone couldn’t help but stood up, in the face of that scene, none of them was composed; it was a blasphemous to it if they remained calmed.
Because it was the birth of a world.
“Oh my god! How is this possible, how can it be!” There was a long silence before someone mumbled.
“It’s so beautiful; it’s the most beautiful radiance and color in the world!”
“It’s a song of genesis!”
An old wizard stood up, he was unsteadily and trembling, he cried in an instant, his gaze was filled with an air of holiness as if he had took part in a pilgrimage; he felt that he had witnessed the greatest moment in the world.
The mythical alchemy warlock, Cook Bay, who had lived for nearly a million years, felt the kind of tremor that stemmed in the depths of his soul once more; he had that exact feeling when he first saw the gift Mr Randil handed over to him; the secret art of alchemy of the building of The Capital of God and Floating-Space City.
No one could understand the wizards’ quest for the truth of the world and their feelings towards the world, when they had witnessed that scene, for them, it was akin to the believers of The Goddess of Fate had personally lifted the veil of The Goddess of Fate.
“The world... is born!”
Cook Bay looked at the moment of the death of the chaos worm and he repeatedly replayed that scene on the projection screen; the dazzling glow of the silver vortex which had erupted, and the stunning scene of endless dust of the Astral World condensed and the disappearance and rebirth of the dimensional folds.
“So the world is born from such a huge and incredible organism?” A female astrologer, who was wearing spectacles, exclaimed.
“What kind of creature is this? What level of existence is it? Level Eight? Or Level Nine? It can breed a world? Was our world bred from its body too?” More wizards had raised their own questions.
And Catherine, the master of the tower, was standing at the top of the Great Hall of Truth, watched the great existence in which a world was born, and the silver vortex of the body which was like the sand of stars spinning and spiraling.
She seemed to go back to more than 8000 years ago when she had just become a mythical wizard and didn’t yet own her Floating-Space Tower.
The Wizard Tower was just a common Elemental Tower, located on the earth, her teacher stood on top of the tower, accompanied her to watch the sunset on the Wizard Continent.
“Teacher, how many kinds of Mythical Life are there?” Catherine, who had just become a mythical wizard, couldn’t control her strength in that moment, and she was seen as a translucent forest fairy.
Lu Zhiyu was dressed in a white robe; he looked like a mortal, “Well... I’m not very clear, but every supernatural life can be traced back to their source of Mythical Life, the number of mythical life isn’t fixed, some supernatural life may mutate, the emergence of changes or deformities can happen even from the source, and the emergence of new mythical template is possible.”
Lu Zhiyu turned around, his long robe dropped and glided along the ground, his black gaze was akin to the stars, it was mysterious and sparkling, “But the mythical template isn’t absolutely strong or weak, the key lies in how it is used by the people. Your forest fairy mythical template mastered the rule of life; it is the strongest from the batch.”
Catherine then asked, “Teacher, then, is there the most powerful Mythical Life? Any one which is so strong that it was unrivalled, neither God nor True God is on par with?”
Lu Zhiyu pondered for a moment, and he suddenly laughed, “There’s really one, if it’s also counted as a life.”
“Really? What is it?”
historical
“Chaos worm!”
Catherine didn’t get a complete answer from her teacher about the chaos worm, and in her imagination, it was an extremely powerful mythical life, unparalleled, and lived in the depths of the Astral World. She even imagined countless times how the chaos worm looked like.
However, in that moment, she looked at the projection screen which was showing the great existence of the vortex of the world, she finally understood how a chaos worm looked like, and her gaze was blurred.
“So this is... the chaos worm!”
“The Mythical Life that nurtured a world!”
————————————————————
At the same time, Starsoul world which was the closest from the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall, they were more than ten light-years apart, they were also affected by the wave of the chaos worm which had just give birth to a new world; there was a violent Spatial Storm. The instrument detecting spatial fluctuations violently rotated that even its afterimage was seen.
Several of the top Alchemy Workshops and the Arcane Magic Laboratories, catered for space exploration, were monitoring and exploring that intense spatial fluctuation. There were tracing the source of that spatial fluctuation, while various parties were also urgently reporting to their superior about that huge discovery.
“This! Is this a half bitwall?”
“We’ve discovered a new half bitwall, lord! This is definitely another great discovery!”
“No! No! This isn’t a half bitwall, this...”
“This is a new world!”
Inside an alchemy tower, all the goblin alchemy warlocks cheered and hugged each other, they thought they were the first to discover and witness the existence of that great moment. They were unware that, at the same moment, several other institutes were cheering just like them. And they didn’t know that the superiors of the Wizard Alliance had already received the news of the birth of the new world.
The news of the discovery of the new world was immediately transmitted to the upper echelons of the Arcane Kingdom and the emperor. At the same time, many senior professionals and secretive presences were informed of the news throughout the world of the Starsoul World.
“Finally... we’ve discovered a new world!” The top-notch demon warlock who was hiding in the Wizard Alliance was holding onto the information of that new world, his hand was trembling involuntarily.
“This is the Fourth World after the Divine Kingdom, the Starsoul World, and the Abyss World!” In the Tower of Death of the Northern Glacier, a secret King of the Dead was speaking, the soul flame within his gaze was glistening.
As the Wizard Alliance began to locate that new world, they even tried to get close and explore. The Arcane Kingdom launched its own operations too. The news was known by many even after being completely concealed, and a large number of senior professionals were informed of the discovery of the Fourth World.
At the same time, several devil monarchs at the heart of the Abyss World woke up from their eternal sleep. Numerous Devil Lords from the depth of the world also detected a new opportunity belonged to them, they were ready to strike.
At last, even the gods from Maria’s World laid down the Oracle.
