【The Illusory Realm - The Land of Mystery】
In a simple and elegant courtyard...
The elegance of this courtyard is reminiscent of ancient human architecture, exuding a refined and scholarly style.
In the courtyard, two beings that were almost humanoid were drinking tea.
That's right.
It's about drinking tea; tea is the tea of the human race.
One of the bearded "people" took a sip of tea and said calmly, "They failed."
The younger-looking man next to him seemed puzzled: "This is not what was planned."
The bearded man remained calm, as if it were a trivial matter: "But we recovered Izparut's saw."
"Izparut's magical blueprint should be able to be simulated."
"This will be very helpful for us in restraining Izparut."
"And there is... additional information."
"The sky is still alive."
"The heavens..."
"If it was his plan, then it wouldn't be too surprising, after all, this guy is always dead but not dead."
"Since we've failed, we might as well give up."
The bearded man nodded: "Hmm... we have no choice but to give up."
"What about Rona?"
The bearded man replied, "The rules of the Illusionary Realm, after all, also constrain us Grand Masters."
“Our presence is ‘unfair’ in the rules, and we can only wait and see until the constraints disappear.”
The young man asked, "Do you think... those little guys trained by the Azure Sky can kill Rona?"
The bearded man shook his head: "Difficult..."
"Lorna is not simple."
"The Goddess of Wealth is a master of calculation and weighing gains and losses. I don't think these reckless kids can stand up to Rona, who has lived for so long."
"Unless, that old bastard Cang Qiong has other plans."
The sky...
It's definitely an old thing.
Having lived so many lifetimes, in terms of actual years spent, he could be considered an old fox.
This 21-year-old's appearance is nothing more than an old man pretending to be young.
In this illusory world, it's all about big fish eating small fish, and old things scheming against little things.
You learn from your mistakes; a lack of experience will only lead to losses.
A few young kids who have spent less than half a year in the fantasy world and are no more than 30 years old are trying to take down an old monster like Rona who has been plotting for countless millennia.
Who would believe they weren't completely fooled by Rona?
"Let's take a look first."
"Although we can't seize the initiative to end the era, it may not be a bad thing to start later."
"We lost the initiative compared to Cang Qiong. We didn't know he was still alive. If he were in the Illusionary Ruins, we would have lost this move."
"There's been some activity from Izparut's side as well."
The young man nodded and said, "Hmm..."
"Recently, the elements have been unusually active, and the world's magic is somewhat excessive."
"It seems like Izparut is also getting ready to make an appearance."
"Not only that..."
"The breath of life is boiling, the gray mist of death is rising, the activities of the undead are becoming more active, and even the tides are rising more violently."
"I can feel my blood flowing more actively, and it even makes a surging sound like thunder from time to time."
"The divine power in this world is stirring."
"All the true gods... it seems they are already getting impatient."
Bearded man: "The end of an era is also the breaking of shackles."
"By then... all the quasi-gods will want to ascend to the peak of true godhood, and the true god will personally intervene."
"That is the real world."
"Instead of the current situation, where a few demigods are just playing house."
In the vast upper realm, there are only a few thousand scattered demigods.
So weak it's laughable.
Is this some kind of funny stage play?
"By the way, that human universe... let's arrange for Mei to go there."
"The records left behind by the Crimson Sage should be retrieved."
"Once those are recovered, we should be able to complete the process of ascension to godhood in the Fourth Epoch."
-----------------
City of Peacocks
Blue sky, white clouds, clear blue skies.
It's as if nothing ever happened in Peacock City.
Izparut has already put away the Black Star Ring Staff.
The Black Star Ring Staff is already absorbing its maximum magical power.
In fact, just activating and holding the Black Star Ring Staff requires a huge amount of magic power at all times.
Only Izparut can wield this divine artifact.
If it were anyone else, even if they could temporarily equip themselves, they would quickly be drained by the Black Star Ring Staff.
Even if it's not completely drained, it can't unleash many spells.
These upgraded spells all require magical power equivalent to their upgraded rank.
Luluwei also returned to Peacock City through the anchor point she left there.
Luluwei's dimensional jumps are based on leaving coordinates in different dimensions.
Jump directly between coordinates.
“Izparut”.
"Is everything resolved?"
"Yes, it's all taken care of."
Izparut looked at Lu Cang.
Lu Cang had actually mentioned these Grand Orders to him, and these Grand Orders might come over in a few decades.
But... I never expected it to be today.
I said it was a coincidence.
Do you believe me?
Lu Cang looked directly at Izparut, his expression revealing no hint of joking.
"To be honest, I don't completely believe it."
He was almost always in Peacock City, and even when he wasn't, he was always able to monitor Peacock City.
Today, however, I am facing off against a near-god.
It's impossible to perceive the Peacock City in such a short time.
Unable to return immediately.
But by sheer coincidence, the City of Peacocks was attacked.
Moreover, they also came from the "future," sharing the same origin as Luo Heng.
Lu Cang said, "Judging from the results, they gained nothing and took nothing with them."
"Nothing was destroyed."
Time has been reversed.
The city of peacocks remains as vibrant as ever.
Just as Lu Cang said, those Grand Masters only came to be killed by Izparut.
Izparut glanced at Lu Cang.
A slight stirring in my heart.
【Mind Exploration (Nine Stars) (LV: 501)】
Izparut did not uncover any more of Lu Cang's secrets.
Rather, they wanted to find out if Lu Cang was hostile and whether the arrival of these Grand Masters was orchestrated by Lu Cang.
Izparut has his own principles.
It doesn't pry into other people's secrets.
Lu Cang and Izparut looked at each other.
Not avoiding it at all.
"Feel sorry……"
I have doubts about you.
Their arrival is indeed none of your business.
"You didn't know either."
Izparut sighed softly, "After some time, I will resign from my position in Peacock City to atone for some of the mistakes I made today."
"Mistake? What mistake did you make?"
Luluwei tilted her head, puzzled.
Izparut looked at the unhealed hole created by [Pure Magic Strike].
Luluwei also looked in that direction.
"Okay, to be honest, sometimes I think the principles you have to follow are pretty unnecessary."
In Luluwei's opinion, this is nothing.
Accidental injuries are always unavoidable.
But Izparut felt this violated his principles.
You can use magic to hurt people, and you can also use magic to kill people.
However, innocent people should not be affected.
Monsters are an exception.
“I do not have the power to control life and death, and I cannot bring back the innocent people who died because of me.”
"But at the very least, I should help them rebuild their homes."
Luluwei: "You're really being dramatic."
"Just destroying the Demon Realm is already a major achievement for you."
"It's equivalent to you saving countless countries that were invaded by the demon realm. Just the number of people you saved is enough to make up for your 'mistakes'."
Izparut: "In my view, merit and demerit are two different things and cannot be equated."
Just like water and ice are not the same elements.
Luluwei: "Don't talk about your magical stuff, I don't understand it."
"However, if you're going on a trip, I can accompany you."
"Thanks to you, there are no more demons in the Demon Realm. I had nowhere to hunt."
Izparut: "If you want to travel together, I'd love to."
After speaking, Izparut looked at Lu Cang and the others.
"However, before resigning, we must fulfill our agreement."
"What you retrieved from the Chaos Nest..."
Izparut mentioned this.
It was visibly obvious that Lu Cang's eyes were somewhat unfocused...
Luo Heng: "Uh... well."
