The Era of Gods

Chapter 667: Chapter 667 World Guardians

“`

Therefore, Primordial Chaos Gods can only be the masters of these four Fundamental Laws; all other godhood corresponding rules are included within them, naturally preventing the birth of other Primordial Chaos Gods.

As for the many chaos beings in the Chaos Sea of Void that are comparable to great divine power, they are Chaos Creatures, or also known as Chaos Demons, not Primordial Chaos Gods.

But I digress, let’s return to the present.

As the initial Fundamental Laws of the Chaos Sea of Void, any existence that fully masters these four basic Fundamental Laws is directly equivalent to a Primordial Chaos God with great divine power.

And that’s just in theory. In actuality, the God Level of Primordial Chaos Gods is one layer higher than that of the great divine power, and they are undoubtedly much stronger than those who master the most basic sources of chaos.

Mastering fifty percent of the Time Law, one could say that this alone is worth the price of the round trip to the Wizard World, even if the competition this time fails.

In fact, there is no certainty of losing in this coming, although Phoenix and Shadow Wind, as beings of Medium Divine Power, retain some strength upon arrival and start off better than him, that’s just the start. They may not necessarily develop better than him afterwards.

He has now been promoted to a Rank 7 Witch King, comparable to a True God. The next step is to consolidate a second True Body. Once he successfully consolidates a second True Body, with the strength of a Titan Ancient God Body, it is feared that he can skip the early and mid-stages of Rank 8 directly and become comparable to a late-stage Rank 8 with Powerful Divine Power.

How would those two compare then?

By the time they are promoted to Rank 7 and get the coordinates, the game may already be over for them.

He noted the coordinate that naturally appeared in his mind after his promotion to Rank 7 Witch King and set it aside for now. He had just been promoted and had no time to deal with this Tomb of Myriad Gods coordinate – it was too far. Moreover, the preset message from the Emperor of Myriad Forms cautions that although the Tomb of Myriad Gods can be explored at Rank 7, it is advised to wait until one is promoted to Rank 8 for the best chance of success.

Upon reaching Rank 7, he naturally obtained a coordinate left by the Emperor of Myriad Forms, which would be given to anyone at Rank 7 without precedence. Whoever finds the coordinate and enters the God’s Tomb first to take the inheritance will own it. Additionally, there’s a way to leave the Wizard World with all gains and return to the Main World hidden within the depths of the God’s Tomb.

The inheritance is tempting, but he decided to heed the advice of his predecessors and wait until Rank 8 before exploring.

Being promoted to Rank 7 Witch King, he inherited all his previous Strength, which merged with the first True Body he had refined. The Time Law was integrated into the core of his spiritual power, becoming one of his main talents.

In addition to that, his original godhood and some Transcendent godhood abilities have also been inherited as innate powers.

For example, transforming into a Black Hole, using the Supreme God Sealing Technique, and the ability to Change Form, alter reality, control Life and Death, and other extraordinary godhood powers will all be manifested in the form of the Wizard World.

Overall, in terms of True Body Strength, he is still less powerful than his original Divine Emperor form; after all, he cannot use the Divine Realm, lacks the God Country’s boost, does not have the accumulated vast Divine Power, and also lacks the capacity to split into an Incarnation of God – he has just one standalone True Body here.

It’s worth mentioning that 80% of the Divine Power continuously provided by various Clans in his Divine Realm is used to expand the realm’s territory. Coupled with the expansion of treasures loaded into his Divine Realm, the area of the Main Divine Realm has already expanded several times in the past few hundred years, now comparable to a slightly larger small plane.

But this is still no match for the seasoned Powerful Divine Powers in the Main World, who have accumulated thousands of years in the Main World, equivalent to hundreds of thousands of years in a Different Domain. Their Divine Realm’s total area is comparable to a large plane, housing countless Clans numbering in billions, which alone can sustain the God Level of great divine power.

But still, as he always says, he’s not in a rush. After all, he has quite some time before he can be promoted to Powerful Divine Power. Collecting enough godhood laws to ascend in the Main World will not happen overnight. With the three main godhoods of Truth, Creation, and Life that he currently owns, he has a considerable number of godhood laws to plunder and collect. By the time he gathers them all, he expects the growth of his Divine Realm will have caught up.

Refocusing his attention, he opens his mouth and inhales sharply. The tumultuous energy vortex in the Vault of Heaven quickly contracts inward, forming an invisible column of energy that plummets into his mouth.

The nourishment from the World Origin Force caused the energy he controlled to rise by about twenty percent, which given his current energy intensity and growth rate, saved him decades of effort.

Opening his eyes, the cave he was in has been forcibly expanded into a vast hollow over a hundred meters in diameter by the inadvertent revelation of his True Body, surrounded by powerful energies. The walls are compressed smooth as mirrors, and there is a small hole in the ceiling letting sunlight pour through.

Lin Xiao looks down at his own Hundred-meter-tall Golden Titan Ancient God Body, which looks no different than before, except that the mysterious symbols branded on his body have changed slightly, with many new patterns added.

These are the laws that his second True Body will soon integrate, specifically Time and Black Hole – two incredibly strong laws.

When these two powerful law runes are perfected, he will be able to consolidate a second True Body.

Having inspected his True Body, he quickly shrinks back to human size, and with a flash, he has left the underground to appear on the surface. A gentle breeze blows, feeling cool on his skin.

Having achieved Rank 7, equivalent to the First Level of True God, he has sufficient self-preservation power in any world of the Wizard World. The weight that had been hanging over his heart eased somewhat, and Lin Xiao for once felt at ease to survey his surroundings. Who could tell which of these small trees might one day grow into a towering giant?

He observed the vibrant short-lived grass, each straining every effort to live.

He noted the small unimpressive flowers, each striving to bloom.

And there was another thing…

Lin Xiao’s gaze swept across a human elder leaning on a wooden rod standing on an elevated boulder not far away, pausing momentarily in surprise; then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure that seemed both hidden and not—carrying his brilliant vines—and he swiftly turned while throwing a hand grenade and took out a robe to put on.

“It’s nice to be young!”

The elder smiled as he stroked his beard.

“It’s good that I always carry some daily necessities with me when I was in the Sea King Empire, otherwise, it would have been awkward.”

Lin Xiao was feeling quite embarrassed at that moment, but as long as he didn’t show it, the embarrassment would be on others, not him; his thick skin knew no fear.

When Lin Xiao turned around again, the elder with the wooden rod flashed into view not far from him, and with a flicker of clear light, a refreshing coolness hit him, making him look intently. Surprise and admiration naturally arose.

What surprised him was the strength of the woman. The faint aura she emitted was even stronger than his current level.

The admiration stemmed naturally from her beauty and attire, whether it was the emerald crystal tiara on her head, the jade-like hair, or the skirt made of vibrant green leaves that radiated a strong sense of life: they all inspired a sense of awe in him, making him unable to resist looking again and desiring to explore further.

However, staring directly at such a beautiful and, more importantly, stronger woman was a very impolite act. Lin Xiao suppressed the astonishment in his heart, retracted his gaze, and performed a respectful salute to the two figures who bore the same World Guardian aura as himself: the elder and the exceedingly beautiful woman.

“Lin Xiao pays his respects to you both!”

The old man introduced himself with a laugh:

“Wizard King of the Wizard King’s Tower, Abatanik!”

“Her Majesty, Queen Tishar of the Jade Dreamland!”

Upon hearing their names, Lin Xiao immediately responded with a universally used gesture of fist and palm salute in countless worlds:

“Thank you, Lord Abatanik and Your Majesty for your guardianship.”

Although he hadn’t seen it, he could sense that something had happened before. Lin Xiao always expressed his gratitude graciously to those who helped him, and this salute was truly sincere.

Only after receiving Lin Xiao’s salute did Wizard King Abatanik speak:

“It’s rare to witness the birth of a new World Guardian. As a newcomer, you must have many questions. Perhaps we can take a seat at the Wizard King’s Tower?”

Lin Xiao promptly replied:

“Please, lead the way!”

The elder tapped the unremarkable wooden rod in his hand lightly against the void, and a ripple emanated from the point of contact, forming a portal that extended upward and engulfed them. Lin Xiao felt a slight tremor in space and the second aura rose from beneath his feet—sensing that he had traversed over a thousand kilometers.

Every three seconds or so, another aura would rise, and after about six to seven minutes and the final aura ascended, the teleportation came to a halt after a slight vibration in space. They had crossed a linear distance of four to five hundred thousand kilometers, far from the wasteland and already beyond the Tagama Wizard Empire where Lin Xiao was born, arriving in the central region where the Wizard King’s Tower was located.

Such an astonishingly quick and long-range method of transportation gave Lin Xiao a deeper understanding of Wizard King Abatanik’s power.

He couldn’t help but speculate that this Wizard King, whose true strength he had never been able to sense, might well have reached the ranks of a Rank 8 wizard.

The Wizard King’s Tower stands at the central region of this world, the dwelling place of the incumbent Wizard King, Abatanik. In this world, the title of Wizard King is a name as well as a responsibility, not a position of authority.

Of course, having reached their level of strength, they no longer required positions of power to define them. According to the ancient contracts, the Wizard King has the authority to summon many of the powerful forces of this world that signed contracts in ancient times.

Previously, Lin Xiao had no real sense of the scale of this world. Now, traveling to the Wizard King’s Tower with the Wizard King, he had gained a profound understanding of the dimensions of this world, known as the Wizard World.

From the Tagama Wizard Empire to the Wizard King’s Tower located at the center of the world, there is a direct linear distance of nearly five hundred thousand kilometers, and their previous location had not yet reached the edge of the world. Though he still did not know the exact size of this world, he was certain it had a radius exceeding six hundred thousand kilometers, and a diameter of one million two hundred thousand kilometers.

If translated to a planet, it would be a supergiant star with a diameter of over six hundred thousand kilometers, several times longer than Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, an utterly exaggerated scale.

In comparison to this world, the Sea King World could only be considered tiny. Lin Xiao, who had spent centuries in the Sea King World, was well-aware of its size, likely only around sixty to seventy thousand kilometers in diameter. Both in area and in world level, it couldn’t come close to matching the Wizard World. The Sea King World’s strongest beings that had ever emerged were at Rank 7, and now there were no Rank 7 powerhouses, whereas the Wizard World currently had Rank 8 elders still living, the difference in strength was clear at a glance.
