Ten years is just a blink of an eye.
It is the year 2212 of the Nora calendar, the 2100th year of the bloody battle.
In the Imperial Palace, Elena's belly is growing bigger day by day, and the three little ones, whom Levi calls "naughty kids", are still in the making.
Seeing the embryo gradually taking on a human shape, Levi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, three dragons were not born...
This shows that Levi is still a humanoid creature in essence.
This baby would take a hundred years to grow, and to ensure the safety of Elena and her baby, he moved the Summer Flower Tower to the big banyan tree in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.
So far, pregnancy has not prevented Elena from practicing regular meditation, so she guessed that there would not be any intense fighting involved.
However, Elena could clearly feel that her practice efficiency was not high during this period, because a large part of the mother's vitality and energy was used to cultivate the triplets.
When wizards give birth to offspring, they are still mortals, and the gestation period is also ten months. At most, there is a higher possibility that a child with talent will be born.
When a knight reaches level nine, his offspring are born similar to legendary creatures because their blood essence has changed. The cost and energy spent on successful fertilization and birth are far greater than those of a wizard, and the harm to the mother is also considerable.
After Elena gives birth to the baby, she will need at least a hundred years to recuperate in order to make up for the loss of her essence. By then, she will have to use potions to replenish her energy.
The main reason is that his supreme bloodline is too strong.
Of course, this also has its advantages. Just like pure-blooded dragons, newly born babies are born strong and may be level five or even level six when they are born.
In the wild, this would increase the survival rate of offspring.
During her pregnancy, Elena practiced less, but had more time to study potions. Triss often came to tutor her, also looking forward to the birth of the baby. Not long after, Elena also passed the nine-ring pharmacist assessment.
In her spare time, Elena would play mahjong and Landlord with Mana, Marsha, Hei Feng and others, and her spiritual life was extremely rich.
Levi continued to consolidate his mental realm, and deduced the subsequent chaos sequence spells, while waiting for the succubus queen to "deliver the goods to his door".
During this time, he took stock of the gains from the Shadow War.
First up is the Nightmare Monarch material.
Apart from the pale monarch he let go, the three monarchs Tianyuan, Tianchou, and Tianzang all dropped a lot of materials. These materials can be used to forge magic weapons, refine legendary wizard tools, that is, Levi's wizard tower, and can also be used as food for the evolution of the seven treasures.
The next are the nightmare crystals, three in total.
The Sky Abyss Crystal, the Sky Stinky Crystal, and the Sky Zang Crystal respectively contain various rule fields such as space, poison, plague, fear, etc.
Like the Abyss Demon Core, the crystal is the essence of the monarch. For wizards, it is all natural knowledge, which is best used to comprehend spells. If it is thoroughly comprehended and useless, it can still be used to refine weapons.
At present, Levi has two level-ten abyss magic cores and four nightmare crystals. He plans to accumulate more and create a cosmic-level treasure for himself.
Then there is the magic weapon, of which there is only one.
Its name is "Luminous Pot" and it comes from the two brothers Zangchou. They worked together to refine it, which took a lot of effort and it is quite powerful.
This pot contains the foul power of the dirty and smelly brothers. Its function is also very special. It can subdue treasures and magical tools. Once they are trapped in it, the treasures will be polluted in a short time. At the very least, their power will be reduced, and at the worst, they will be permanently damaged.
In addition, the luminous pot can also release all the stench power in it at once, forming a stench area with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
In the area, the enemy's perception will be weakened, making it easier for us to escape or assassinate. If used well, it can have a miraculous effect, not inferior to the "Night Barrier Pearl".
The rest are just some miscellaneous things.
Including some nightmare creature materials, crystals, as well as rare treasures, medicinal materials, minerals and other resources they have collected since ancient times, with a total value of more than 10 trillion.
Another part was destroyed by the war, which made Levi feel very distressed. Whenever he thought about it, he couldn't sleep at night and kept slapping his thigh.
The other gains are not worth mentioning.
On this day, Levi checked the condition of the babies in Elena's belly as usual. There were two boys and one girl, and everything was normal.
Elena asked, "Have you thought of a name?"
"No, there is still a long time to go. I will think about it slowly."
"I'm really looking forward to it. I hope they all look prettier. Otherwise, I'll have to use disguises or something, which would be boring."
"Don't worry, you are so beautiful and I am so handsome, the child will not be ugly."
After becoming pregnant, Elena became more talkative.
Levi would also chat with her patiently.
Nora's current situation is actually far more dangerous than the three previous bloody battles, because the giants have seen how strong Nora is and will not underestimate her anymore.
If you don't move, it's fine. But if you move, it will be a thundering move.
This time when he went to the Dark Ancient Tower, Levi wanted to refine the "Nora's Ark" and completely control the ancient tower, and by the way, see what was on the tenth floor.
He had a hunch that Soran must have left some good things in it.
The ancient tower is Plan B of Sauron's plan to conquer the sky, and it is the retreat route for Levi and the Nora tribe. Even if Levi is promoted to level ten, he is not 100% optimistic about the future.
The giants have been invincible for a long time.
Be it planning or layout.
In the face of absolute power, nothing is worth mentioning.
…
Golden Holy Realm.
Beneath the towering ancient tree, five holy kings sat on the ground.
A golden light fell on the ground. It was Saint King Louluo. His expression was a little ugly, which made the other five Saint Kings feel depressed.
Saint King Lou Luo said: "The Nightmare Legion of the Shadow Battlefield has retreated... Nora's side has won, and the Lord of the Dusk Palace has been promoted by ten levels. He alone has forced more than thirty monarchs to retreat."
Saint Boruo was shocked: "What? Wasn't this person only at level nine a thousand years ago? Even if he was conferred the title of God on a chosen day, it would take a lot of time to prepare for his ascension right away, right? How did he do it?"
The Holy King of Spiritual Heart said, "This is troublesome. Could it be that Nora really turned the tables on the Jedi? The Nightmare side dispatched more than 80 monarchs, and they couldn't take them down?"
Saint King Louluo then told another piece of bad news: "After the battle in the Shadow World, they lowered their status and integrated into the Nora Dark Side. Now, there are probably more than fifty Level 10 experts in the Nora Council. It can be regarded as a quasi-giant-level world. Sigh... what should we do?"
The Immortal Saint King said: "What's the situation in the Star Realm? Isn't the Storm Emperor an ally of the Golden Ancient Tree? If we are invaded by Nora, the Star Realm will not sit idly by."
Xuanjia Saint King said: "We must prepare for the worst and cannot put all our hopes on the Star Realm. I suggest awakening the Golden Will and finding a way to evacuate the Saint Realm."
Saint King Tianhui, who had been silent the whole time, opened his eyes and said, "Evacuate? Where to?"
"The multiverse is boundless, there must be a place for us to stay."
"The universe has boundaries. In fact, our coordinates are already at the edge of the multiverse. Beyond that, there is nothingness. That is the border between this universe and the other universe, where time, space and rules are chaotic and disordered. Because of the unfamiliar climate, your level 10 combat power over there may not even be level 9."
"Then we can't just sit there and wait for death."
“Don’t panic… wake up the Golden Will first. If it can be promoted to the Supreme, it can also protect us. The Holy Realm has experienced so many catastrophes and is still glorious. The day when the Lord of the Dusk Palace is promoted to the Supreme will be the day of his demise.
Believe me, except for the underworld, the supreme wills of the other three realms will definitely take action. Nora may seem powerful, but she is just the result of the behemoths raising poisons.
All the worlds devoured by Nora and the resources snatched from the Big Mac will be returned to the Big Mac in full on the day of reckoning.
Throughout the ages, those who sit on the Diaoyutai like to indulge others and then reap the fruits of victory. This is an eternal truth!"
…
abyss.
The succubus queen woke up from the purple cloud. She lay on her side, gently stroking her round thighs, with something similar to a dry tobacco in her mouth, puffing out smoke.
"My Queen, when will we conquer Nora?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you see that the Lord of Dusk Palace has reached level 10? With the means he and the Nora Council have, the forty or so of us are not enough to kill."
"Then... shall we continue recruiting soldiers?"
"No need, just wait for the right time."
Suddenly, two terrifying auras emerged outside the demon camp, causing a group of demon lords to rise into the air on their own demon mountains, ready for battle.
Lost monarchs and ignorant monarchs.
The expressions of the powerful demons changed.
"Two of the Four Emperors have arrived. What does this mean?"
"How do they know we're here?"
"I heard that the ignorant monarch knows everything about the past, present and future. He is a person of great wisdom. Perhaps it has calculated it."
"We also have a wise man in the abyss, but it is a pity that he refuses to come out."
The two monarchs did not take any action, and the powerful demons were waiting for the arrival of the commander-in-chief.
Not long after, the Succubus Queen descended slowly. After the 660th level of the abyss, they all possessed the strength of the Four Emperors, so they were not afraid of these two at all.
"What a rare guest!" said the queen with a sweet smile.
The ignorant monarch got straight to the point and said, "Are you interested in joining forces to crush Nora first, and then we can each rely on our own abilities?"
The Queen said, "Not interested."
The Lost Monarch turned around and wanted to leave. He had no hope of joining forces in the first place.
The ignorant monarch said: "Do you think we will let you succeed in your attempt to gain the upper hand?"
The parchment emerged in the Succubus Queen's mind.
[We can unite. This is a great opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Nightmare...]
魅魔心中一动，嘴角上扬道：“想要联合，倒也可以，不过我有条件？”
“什么条件？”
魅魔女王来到无知君主耳边，吐气如兰，轻轻呢喃，声音唯有无知君主能够听到。
听完条件，无知君主眉头微皱。
女王则露出无限魅意，欢愉之力让身后不少十级恶魔已经发出粗重的喘息之声。
这可是世间最极致的**之力。就连四皇之一的迷失君主，也有些许意动。
无知君主意识进入脑海，询问石板。
【答应魅魔女王，此乃重创深渊的大好时机……】
见状，无知君主心中大定，微微一笑。
“好，我答应你。”
……
与此同时。
冥界，冥祖殿。
灰袍女剑士沐浴更衣，发现桌子上的《索伦语录》正嗡嗡颤抖，光芒大作，她对此早已经见怪不怪。
打开索伦语录，一行行字迹浮现。
【深渊与梦魇或将联合，合计一百二十余位十级强者，欲进攻诺拉。深渊乃冥界宣战之敌，梦魇与之联合，让冥界拥有摒弃中立，发动进攻的正当性。
深渊和梦魇皆心怀鬼胎。此次联合必然会互相算计，难有建树，冥界可与诺拉联合。
趁此机会，重创深渊与梦魇。此乃关键之战，若是顺利的话，吾等事业的转折点即将到来。
请夫人务必认真对待！
——索伦。】
冥祖合上《索伦语录》，平静的面色下，内心也有些波澜，这个男人即便死了，却依旧在影响着多元位面的局势。
这便是巫师之祖。
他或许不是最强者，但绝对是最让人看不透者。**不羁的外表下，是一颗神秘莫测的心。
冥祖知道，索伦的花心都是他的伪装，最终目的都是为了诺拉和冥界的事业，所以她对索伦并没有太多怨言。
……
时光流逝。
随着阴影融合，诺拉之地好像开了地图生成器一样，创造伟力不断生成海洋和新大陆。
新大陆数量提升至十万八千多。初生的大陆尚是一片白纸，没有文明和族群，保留创世之初的模样。
这里地火风水元素浓郁，先天诞生的太石和金属矿脉，数不胜数，蕴含的资源储备之多，让议会高层乐开了花。
在巨量的资源供给下，诺拉现在仿佛青春期的少年，隔一段时间不见，就已经不认识了。
截至目前。
大巫师数量已经达到了240位，其中九环圆满者也有二十余位，若是顺利，未来千年诺拉还能诞生不少传奇巫师。
一些传奇转世者，诸如露西，也重新踏足九环圆满境界，以她的底蕴，再证传奇问题不大，而且能够更进一步。
诺拉屡屡战胜，给泛位面万族充满了决心，尤其是黄昏殿主十级展露风采，激励着不少人前往诺拉求学。
九级异族数量，已经超过300位，还在快速增长着。预计在诺拉第三个千年末尾，可以超过500位！
九级和十级，就是文明的顶层底蕴。而六级到八级，则是文明的中流砥柱，是各大战场的利剑。
不久前，泛位面独行侠十级中期强者“巨木王”加入临时议会，获得至宝，为诺拉效力。
重伤的火熊大帝则不知所踪。对此，至高议会也没有过于在意，雇佣兵本来就不稳定。
只要它对战事发挥了一定作用，诺拉便不亏，一件至宝，也算不了什么，日后斩杀吞天魔君，取回便是。
至高议会。
圆桌前，埃蒙闭目冥想。李维晋升十级，担在他身上的压力，一下子减轻了许多。
但他不敢懈怠，李维还是没办法对抗至高级。
最起码也得等李维巫师和骑士全部十级后。他才能初步退居二线，让李维这年轻人执掌诺拉的大船。
圆桌发出微微白光。
【冥祖之讯息，请查收。】
……
三年后。
诺拉历2215年，血战2103年。
过去百年，黄昏十八骑在议会的支持和个人的努力下，成员实力迎来了大爆发：
鳄龟骑士，玉象骑士，羽骑士，青鸟骑士先后踏入八级境界；诸如血骑士，黑骑士，灰烬骑士等老一代强者，快者八级巅峰，慢者八级后期，距离九级，都不遥远。
中生代那些也都在八级中期之上，当时间跨度被拉大，小几百年的年龄差距，就显得可有可无。
反正大家都是奔着三千年去的“奔三党”。
圣猿骑士气宗踏入八级，混沌之印开创后，他选择成为了一名混沌术士作为一门兼职。
某种程度上，穆帝应该是十八骑中兼职最多的……lv8骑士，lv8气宗，lv3巫师，lv1术士。
纵然是李维，也得说一句：
四系同修，吾不及也。
当然，穆帝也就是图一乐，真正专精的还是骑士和气宗，这两个他天赋最好，上限最高。
钢龙骑士前不久巫师晋升八环，在双修的道路上越走越宽，逐渐找到自己的节奏。
历时两百年，银先生转世的“银雷骑士”如今已经是骑士和巫师双修的五级。
他效仿风火龙巫，打算在晋升六级时，将银山家族血脉升格为神话，乃至至高。具体何种层次，视晋升难度而定。
这一世他的成就必然远超前世。
圣殿内神话血脉已经多达28种。
这些年，诺拉议会富裕后，对圣殿和骑士道路的支持力度越来越大，想在全面战争前培养更多六级以上骑士。
李维也期待着，黄昏十八骑全员九级，这样才有资格跟随他踏足文明战争的顶层战场，展现骑士风采。
目前来看，火龙骑士最有希望，他早就八级巅峰了，只是为了筹备至高血脉，一直卡着境界，并没有提升。
李维如今拥有掌控力量和防御维度大劫的权能，到时候就算是放点水，也会让火龙骑士成功的。
不过他相信火龙骑士不需要作弊。
而在星火巫师学院那边。
黑珍珠小子·加西亚又不声不响的晋升了八环圆满，他距离大限还差五百年左右，如今来看，还真有希望九环。
在听闻“七色鳞主”的事迹后，李维让里昂查了一下加西亚的前世，果然是那个家伙，只能说缘分妙不可言。
不过以加西亚的天赋，这一世九环便是极限了，想要复刻前世的十级之路，显然不太可能。
……
两年后。
诺拉历2217年，血战2105年。
赤色星辰高悬于十重天之上，星辰内部传来叮叮当当的锻造声音，热流和赤焰喷薄，龙啸声不绝于耳。
轰！
一道冲天光柱自地心冲出如同火山爆发，岩浆巨浪顶端，是一柄造型大气，雕刻赤帝龙纹的巨剑。一枚枚迥异于巫师体系的血色符文烙印其上。
“赤龙斩铁！”
李维身披黑甲，握着巨剑，指向长空。来自黑暗之地的劫难，再度降临赤帝天。
此乃十级大劫。不光是神兵，传奇巫器，至宝，神器……任何文明的十级宝物，均要渡劫。
一支通体蓝色由万水凝结而成的冰霜巨手横压而来，试图拍碎李维和赤龙斩铁。
“滚！”
李维一剑斩出，磅礴剑气扶摇直上九万里，不费吹灰之力，便将那象征性的大劫击碎。
万道赤焰之气从天垂落，被赤龙斩铁吸入其中，这件神兵也发生了质变，彻底蜕变为“星辰神兵”。
赤龙斩铁，质量约等于一个中型世界，以“太阳神金”融合多种九级金属锻造而成。其功能有二：
其一，增幅力量属性。
其二，可斩出毁灭性的“太阳无形日冕剑气”，随意一击，都比肩真正的太阳风暴。力量越强，日冕剑气能级越高，最终可以模拟出真正的太阳爆炸之威。
“不错，虽然功能比起至宝少了许多，但够用了。本质上，我只是需要一柄足够结实的剑。比起至宝，神兵锻造工艺简单，功能多样性肯定不如前者。但神兵可以随着我实力提升不断重铸加强，终有一日可以超越至宝。”
接下来，李维人剑合一，于赤帝天内悉心感悟，直到古塔开启前，他睁开双眼，拔剑斩天！
二十万里长的太阳无形日冕剑气横贯天地间！
“这一剑之威，十级后期不敢硬撼，等我攒够更多的材料，便可以重铸金龙御天盾了。”
他收剑入鞘，进入古塔。
……
将前面八层的琐事忙完，李维来到第九层，直奔永恒之火神殿，找到了诺拉方舟模型，提示音传来。
【是否炼化？炼化后，你将成为船长，若是诺拉文明未能渡过大劫，需带着文明火种，流浪宇宙，寻找出路。】
“炼化。”
李维没有犹豫道。
【诺拉方舟正在认主……认主成功。】
【诺拉方舟】
【船长：李维·斯奈克（需十级，已满足）】
【副手：暂无（需十级，人数不限）】
【水手：暂无（需九级，人数不限）】
【船员：暂无（无等级限制，人数不得超过古塔承受力上限）】
【船长权限：古塔之主】
【副手权限：古塔层主】
【水手权限：古塔交汇地之主】
……
In an instant, a huge amount of information flooded into Levi's mind. He absorbed the flow of information until he understood the entire situation of the ancient tower.
[Lord of the Ancient Tower:
1. You can freely enter and exit all levels of the ancient tower, and freely decide the opening and closing time of the ancient tower, and determine the opening cycle according to the resource stock in the ancient tower.
2. You can use all the resources in the first nine floors of the ancient tower to have the power of life and death over any living creature inside, and you will need to bear the consequences of your actions.
3. You can appoint and dismiss deputies and sailors as co-managers of the ancient tower. With your consent, deputies and sailors can obtain part of the resources in the ancient tower as remuneration.
4. While maintaining the ecological cycle and resource balance within the ancient tower, you can bring living creatures inside and outside the ancient tower in and out at will.
5. You can activate the defense and firepower systems in the ancient tower, and reasonably mobilize the supreme power stored in the ancient tower refiner.
……】
In short, the authority of the Lord of the Ancient Tower is to "do whatever he wants." If Levi is a greedy person, he can completely occupy it.
But the last one is written like this.
[As the captain, every decision and action you make will affect the fate of billions of lives on board. The sea is dangerous, please sail with caution.]
Levi looked up at the sky.
The tenth floor has never been reached by anyone since ancient times.
"Let's see what Soran left behind."
…
The tenth floor.
The ancient tower is Nora's Ark, and this is its cockpit. It is not very large. Levi is inside it, and outside the window is the endless darkness and countless worlds.
What you see is a giant star map hanging high above your head.
There were countless points of light shining on it, and between the points of light, there were lines connecting them. All around the star map, there was darkness, chaos and no light.
"This is a map of the multiverse. Each point of light is a world. It should be the place where Guta has traveled in the past 300,000 years. Over such a long time, with Guta's speed, he must have traveled all over the multiverse, except for other universes."
"As the captain, I can freely decide the route of the ancient tower. If I want to go to the Golden Holy Realm, that's no problem. Planar travel is more convenient."
Levi imprinted the entire star map in his photographic memory.
In the center of the cockpit, there is a black stone tablet, which flashes Levi's name like an electronic screen and also makes a prompt sound.
[You can enter the names of your mates and sailors here, and imprint your soul here, so that you can bind to the ancient tower. When your mates and sailors are in life-and-death crisis, you can use the power of the ancient tower to teleport to the cockpit.
Please note:
1. A sailor can teleport no more than 10 times, a deputy can teleport no more than 3 times, and a captain can teleport an unlimited number of times.
2. Interference by the Supreme Power may cause transmission failure. 】
"Not bad, not bad, this is the correct way to use the ancient tower!"
What is a cosmic treasure? This is it!
There is no place in the world safer than inside the ancient tower.
Soran was thoughtful.
As for precautions, there is nothing much. With the legendary wizard's top-level combat power, the number of times he encounters life-and-death crises in his life may not exceed three times.
Interference from the Supreme Power may lead to failure, there is nothing that can be done about it. The ancient tower is just a dead object after all. It is still a little short of strength to fight against the Supreme.
Leaving the stone tablet, Levi continued to visit other functional areas of the cockpit.
There is a "monitoring area" where you can view the situation on the first nine floors, a "firepower area" for manipulating the ancient tower to fight the enemy, and a "secret room area" for the assistants and sailors to practice.
Everything you can think of is here.
Finally, Levi came to a large turntable.
[Sailing Wheel: Try your luck and your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle! ]
[This function is currently only open to sailors, mates, and captains. It aims to relieve the boring sailing life. You can participate in the lottery by investing any level 9 Abyss Magic Core/Nightmare Crystal/Divine Crystal. The prize includes any resource above level 9.
The winning rate depends on the rarity of the resource. If you don't win the lottery, you can get a guaranteed consolation prize of 1 billion Taishi. If you don't win for 10 consecutive times, you can get a guaranteed prize of a ninth-level rare treasure/ninth-level holy medicine/Sunday wonder... You can choose the guaranteed prize. 】
"Another lucky draw, and another 10-game winning streak... This guy Soran is wealthy. Before he traveled around the world, he must have been the boss of a domestic pay-to-win mobile game company, right?"
