The Bizarre Wizarding World

The night was deep, and the moon had risen high into the sky without notice, its silver light casting shimmering patterns onto the vast and somber sea domain.

Ryden stood suspended in midair, his mind still struggling to believe the scene he had just witnessed.

Colin... had actually obliterated the gold and molten rock entity with a single punch?!

Only a second ago, the blue giant that Great Councilman Mill transformed into could only struggle desperately under the golden figure!

As his astonishment gradually dissipated, Ryden's gaze settled on Colin and the others who were congregated in the distance, and his mood swiftly sank once more.

With the grand solid wall before them, even if Colin and the others could resolve the immediate crisis, how were they to return to the Siya Continent?

Whoosh!

Across the solid wall, Mill took out the familiar World Concealing Orb from his field of vision.

In the next moment, the figures of Colin and his group vanished.

Ryden was slightly stunned.

'They haven't given up!'

Taking a deep breath, Ryden gave the solid wall in front of him a glance before slowly turning away.

'Supreme Councilor might be able to open the solid wall again... I must report this to Supreme Councilor!'

Rumble...

At this moment, a dull sound also came from afar.

The battle at the Parra Islands had yet to end.

The Divine main force, cut off by the Golden Strong Wall, was trapped like a turtle in a jar, and would eventually be annihilated by the wizards without the reinforcement of new strength.

But this process was clearly not so swift.

Ryden's heart chilled, and he suddenly realized his own situation wasn't much better.

He wanted to contact Supreme Councilor as soon as possible, which certainly meant heading to the Council Hall or finding a trustworthy Great Councilman.

But without the aid of the Transmission Gate, accomplishing such a goal meant he had to first traverse through the Divine-controlled area, even crossing the entire battlefield...

'Hopefully the edges of the battlefield will be relatively better...'

Ryden exhaled slowly, determined the direction, and quietly took flight, his form gradually disappearing into the night sky.

...

Star Realm.

The battle here had just ended as well.

In the center of a grand hall, suddenly seven colorful flashing lights appeared.

The light gradually faded, revealing seven magnificent figures.

These were the seven Supreme Councilors of the Wizard Clan.

They were enveloped in a layer of star-silk material in different colors, their actual figures obscured.

Once they had fully emerged, they each walked towards a seat in the hall.

The figure of the Supreme Councilor in the middle was the most ephemeral, his steps seeming somewhat insubstantial.

"Batalov, are you alright?" asked a tall and thin Supreme Councilor with concern, his voice flowing like a clear stream.

"Don't worry, Ludas," Batalov said with a smile, taking a seat in the gorgeous chair before him, "As long as the World Will has not perished, and we are merged with it, even the most severe wounds can always recover, can't they?"

Just as Batalov had said, the moment he sat in the chair and connected with the World Will, his injuries began to heal rapidly, and his fragile aura quickly stabilized.

"Still, too severe an injury can destroy consciousness, and the World Will cannot restore consciousness. Be careful," Ludas added, also taking a seat behind him.

Batalov's gaze darkened imperceptibly, skipping over this topic with a smile:

"Let's return to the matter at hand. The Golden Strong Wall has now formed, the overall situation is determined, and the Wizard Clan has completely escaped the predicament of being attacked from both sides.

Next, as long as we focus our forces to eliminate the remaining Divine Believers, the south side of the Siya Continent will no longer be troubled by Divine attacks."

"Graham City has fallen, just now."

At that moment, a white figure in the corner suddenly spoke in a grave tone.

Taken aback by this unexpected news, the Supreme Councilors fell into silence for a moment.

After a brief silence, Batalov was the first to speak:

"We should have seen this coming, shouldn't we? The wizards of Graham have already relocated most of their ranks ahead of time.

As long as there are people left, there is still hope."

"Yes, we anticipated an outcome like this," Ludas murmured. "At least the Solid Wall plan in the Sea Domain was executed very successfully."

"The situation is settled; those divinities must understand that too. That's why they suddenly gave up on entangling with us further.

Given their snail-like character, the side of the wizards should be greeting a not-so-short period of peace."

While Colin and the others were executing the Solid Wall plan, the Supreme Councilman had not been idle.

Without their distraction, more than just one divine incarnation would have descended upon the Southern Seven Islands.

"But with the fall of Graham City, the Divine Believers now have a foothold in the Extreme North..." the white figure in the corner spoke in a grave tone.

"It is only temporary. Next, we just need to concentrate our forces, retake Graham City, and the defensive pressure will greatly diminish!" Batalov said sternly.

"It's not an easy task," the lone female Supreme Councilman, Guli, sighed. She looked down vacantly at her feet, her gaze seemingly piercing the veil of worlds and falling upon that golden Solid Wall,

"The Wall blocks the divinities but also blocks us..."

"Don't speak such disheartening words. The Solid Wall plan was a decision we made together, its benefits outweigh the drawbacks," Batalov countered sharply.

"You're right, Lord Batalov; we have already made our decision. There's no need for regret; nor is it possible to regret now," Ludas sighed.

"At least, with the golden Solid Wall, the Siya Continent won't have to worry about following in the footsteps of the Nolan Continent anytime soon."

"The Nolan Continent..." The Supreme Councilmen fell silent.

Beyond the treacherous and far distant Sea Domain, ordinary wizards were unaware; even many Fourth Rank Wizards couldn't know.

But as the Supreme Councilmen of all wizards, they were clear—

The Nolan Continent had completely fallen, just recently.

And after the divinities completely occupied the Nolan Continent, even the World Will lost control over that land.

Faith is but an appetizer for the divinities; their true desire lies in the essence of the world.

The Siya Continent was now the last homeland for the wizards of the Yanan World.

In fact, this was why these Supreme Councilmen chose to initiate the Solid Wall plan immediately.

It was a measure of necessity.

After all, the Divine Believers who invaded the Nolan Continent were the enemy's true strength.

The assembly of Divine Believers on the Siya side, although strong, was still lesser in comparison.

If both forces were to merge, it would be too late...

Even the formidable Supreme Councilmen couldn't help but fall into a despondent mood at this time.

Batalov, at the center, surveyed the group, gripping the armrests of his chair tightly and deliberately laughed aloud:

"Why worry? The situation a thousand years ago was far worse! Back then, the whole world was almost occupied by the divinities, but didn't we win in the end?

If need be, we'll sacrifice ourselves again to seal the divinities, and that way, the Yanan World could enjoy at least a thousand years of respite!"

Batalov's tone was passionate, but the atmosphere in the entire hall remained silent.

Guli sighed: "But what about after a thousand years? By then, without us, can the Wizard Clan produce new Supreme Councilmen? If not, when facing another divine invasion, what will we have to oppose them?"

"Perhaps, we should have abandoned this world long ago and sought a new world to continue the legacy of wizard civilization..."

"New worlds are not so easily found. Moreover, only those who reach Fourth Rank can briefly stay in the Star Realm. To travel far requires even greater strength..."

"Besides, we've already fused with the World Will; we can't leave."

Leaning back, Ludas let out a deep sigh: "I thought fusing with the World Will was a successful breakthrough, but it turned out to be the path to a dead end."

"I even feel that the wizards may have taken the wrong path when breaking through to Fourth Rank..."

"The path above Fourth Rank, even the esteemed Yanan who had originally established wizard cultivation, never explored it. In the end, it was his curiosity about the Star Realm that attracted this divine invasion."

"Had it not been for his Talent and genius in devising the method to merge with the World Will, and successfully suppressing the divinities, the Wizard Clan would perhaps have already perished."

The Supreme Councilmen conversed bleakly and eventually fell back into silence.

The hall returned to quiet, and their figures gradually disappeared from view.
