The Bizarre Wizarding World

"To break through the World Barrier and reach the Sub-star Realm and Star Realm, the minimum requirement is Fourth Rank."

"At that time, the Wizards had developed for over two thousand years and were at their peak. There were not a few Wizards who could break through the World Barrier, but they still couldn't defeat the invading Divine."

"However, at the last moment, eighteen incredibly powerful Wizards suddenly appeared... I am not clear on the specifics of the battle, but in the end, the Divine's physical bodies were completely blocked outside the Yanan World, with many even being sealed and falling into slumber."

"On the Wizard's side, after the war, only six of the eighteen Wizards who had turned the tide were left. And they, are the current six members of the Supreme Council."

"Yet a thousand years have passed, and the number of Supreme Council members has neither decreased nor increased."

Nois continued, a look of incomprehension surfacing in his eyes.

"What Rank are the Supreme Council members?" Colin asked.

To his surprise, Nois shook his head when faced with this question.

"I only know they are very strong, much stronger than me as a Fourth Rank Wizard."

The Supreme Council members were mysterious; they had lived from a thousand years ago to the present, with very few contemporary intelligent beings still in existence.

So no one truly knew their strength, and no one had even seen their true faces.

"In short, what I am telling you is that the situation in the Yanan World is not optimistic."

"Although the physical bodies of those Divine beings were sealed in the Star Realm, a thousand years have passed, and the seals have become loose. The disturbances they cause are growing, and in recent years, they can even send down actual avatars, not just projections."

"On the other hand, on the side of the Wizards, due to the influence of Tainted Babbling, the spread of knowledge has been greatly hindered, and the research and innovation of various witchcraft have stalled. Compared to a thousand years ago, there has not been much advancement, especially for the High Rank witchcraft."

"We have tried to research Tainted Babbling, but a thousand years have passed with no progress. We are still unable to deal with it, and in the early stages, a large number of High Rank Wizards even died because of it."

"Therefore, to preserve the living force, the Supreme Council restricted the research of knowledge."

"In this situation, the atmosphere of the whole world has also changed. Traditional knowledge and inheritance have become increasingly important. Instead of innovating, Wizards prefer to learn witchcraft that is safer and of lesser risk from the past, so purebloods and mixed-bloods are increasingly…"

Colin listened silently to Nois's rambling, his heart unable to calm for a long time.

'The situation in the Yanan World is not optimistic.'... Nois's words were still too optimistic.

'This world is on the verge of annihilation; only the wise will continue to live.'

By comparison, the words of Xize, even though harsh, were more realistic.

Nois was speaking euphemistically, but in simple terms, it meant that the Wizard's side was in decline, while the Divine were making a strong return.

Colin had no idea what the declining Wizard's side could use to confront the fully revived Divine when the impending great battle would erupt.

Would there be another emergence of eighteen Wizards to turn the tide?

Or could they only rely on the current six members of the Supreme Council?

Colin raised his head; the Sub-star Realm above was dark as ink, yet not a glimmer of light could be seen. An inexplicable sense of oppression squeezed his chest, making it almost difficult to breathe.

No wonder the Supreme Council concealed this information.

If the general populace were to know, there might not even be hope of victory as internal chaos would erupt before the Divine were fully awakened.

'Is this world about to be destroyed...' Colin silently murmured in his heart, quietly clenching his fists.

Seeing this, Nois gave a slight smile.

Some people are like grass, bending at the slightest pressure and perhaps even producing sap, but Colin clearly wasn't such a person. He believed that such news would not bring down the Wizard before him.

"What I wanted to tell you is roughly this," Nois continued, "Go back and prepare for the Supreme Council Member badge bestowal ceremony in a few days."

"Oh, do you need anything right now? Magic Stones, knowledge or the like?"

"I need the Third Rank Tin Saint Meditation Method, and it would be even better if you could provide some other Third Rank Meditation Methods," Colin paused, making no attempt to be polite.

"Hmm, I'll take you to get the imprints," Nois nodded.

A trace of surprise flickered across Colin's face.

"You're already a member of the Supreme Council, mere Third Rank Meditation Methods are nothing," Nois chuckled, then added, "I will inform you of the specific schedule for the badge bestowal ceremony later."

"Be mentally prepared. Many will attend at that time, and it will be your first challenge after becoming a Councilman."

"Alright," Colin responded with a heavy nod.
