As Locke announced the official start of the competition, the dark sun shone on the entrance to the Despair Valley Laboratory. The nine Star Ring Wizards, who had passed Locke's seven tests, walked onto the final stage under the guidance of Grandet and others. As Wizard Edgar walked past Locke, he whispered, "Does this mean that every year before the start of this competition you created, we'll have to publicly announce some new discoveries?"
Wizard Edgar asked with a hint of probing and competition.
Locke nodded. "Good idea."
Wizard Edgar smiled. "You're ahead in the competition."

"I'm just curious, what exactly is this final round?"
The nine Star Ring Wizards who passed Locke's test were: the Macedonian Witch, who was the first to answer; Edgar and Rose, the second (Edgar answered two questions); Ramses; and Haishan, who passed by borrowing Wallace's abilities.
The remaining four were also Star Ring Wizards from the Rainswamp.
Due to time constraints, breeders from other wizarding lands, even if they wanted to participate, couldn't. Even if they were lucky enough to arrive at the wizarding land before the competition, passing Locke's seven tests was extremely difficult.
The Swamp Folk Club had already selected its local Star Ring Wizard breeders.
Even so, it was unexpected that four wizards passed the test, especially since Locke had promoted the Probus Truth Unveiling Competition. These four wizards shared a common characteristic: either they were top ten wizards who didn't have time to participate in clubs but couldn't get into the super-projects, or they came from niche wizarding academies, were usually low-key, and used multiple names when participating in competitions.
Another wizard had just immigrated to the Rain Marsh from an ordinary wizarding background.
These nine contestants, plus Patrick, who had qualified in the second round, and Locke, made a total of eleven contestants. The Maupassant family's Baroque witch sat in the stands, waving to Locke and the other contestants. She sat on the Snow King's stomach, while the Snow King sat in a seat, the two sharing a seat.
Baroque witch waved her arms at the eleven contestants.
"Good luck, everyone. As a summoner, I won't join you in such a serious competition. I'll be cheering you on from below."
"But I wonder what this final round is all about?"
The ten players, five third-ring wizards, over a thousand second-ring wizards, and the ever-growing crowd of spectators all looked at Locke, curious about what the final round would entail.
Locke addressed the crowd: "This final round is about this."
A phantom of a blue lotus appeared in Locke's hand.
Behind him, the dark sun formed from his avatar, the Abyss Dragon, shone brightly at the entrance to the laboratory, while the light from its edges illuminated his hand. "This is the final competition."
A group of wizards stared intently.
The Macedonian witch frowned.
"This—magic pressure—could it be—"
The Macedonian witch looked at Locke in surprise, their eyes meeting, before she looked at the Creation Lotus in his hand.
A group of wizards stared at the phantom of the blue lotus in Locke's hand, discussing and speculating about its nature and the immense power it possessed. Was it a magical artifact, or a powerful magical plant cultivated by Locke?
The four contestants from the Rain Swamp were equally bewildered.
Outside the wizarding town, Prince Appian, watching from a distance atop a mountain, narrowed his eyes. "
Another thing I can't see through precognitive dreams. These past few days have passed, and considering my inability to approach the wizarding town, I've gained a pretty good understanding of the source of my precognitive dreams."
Prince Appian glanced sideways at the wizard Sera beside him.
"This matter should be related to your teacher, the Death Doctor, right, Sera?"
Wizard Sera scoffed, crossing his arms and looking down at the group of wizards with a hungry gaze.
On the field, many wizards were discussing what the Creation Lotus in Locke's hands really was, while the five third-ring wizards representing the Three Swamps exchanged glances. Wizard Faust tentatively asked Witch Catherine, "Could it be one of the creation puzzles supported by Mount Golden Crown?"
Each creation puzzle, once solved, could be recorded as a story in the wizarding world's general education textbook.
The Red Dragon Throne replied, "No."AI APPA Millionaire From Kolkata Shows How She Earns ₹1,440,000 Per WeekLearn more
Dean Gray said, "If it weren't for the support of Golden Crown Mountain, how could a Star Ring Wizard possibly obtain the Creation Problem? Those things are either incredibly expensive or require connections."
The Red Dragon Throne said, "The answer is simple. That kid probably got it for this competition.
" Faust Wizard's face twitched.
"Even for a Star Ring Wizard, it's not something you can just get your hands on at will. But—I didn't expect a competition organized by a group of Star Ring Wizards to be so well-organized. This really changes my view of Star Ring Wizards, and also my perception of young people. Perhaps we old fogies should indeed delegate more responsibility to these young people. This world belongs to us, and to them, but ultimately it belongs to these young people."
The Vice Dean of the Reptile Garden suddenly added, "But young people also have regional distinctions."
"We can carefully discern which region's young people are more outstanding,"
the headmaster of the Root Crown Royal Court branch chuckled. "Isn't that the creation puzzle that one of our headquarters' headmasters wanted to apply for? How come his application was rejected, but we can use the Creation Lotus here? This is truly strange. Could it be that this Star Ring Wizard has more influence than our headquarters' headmaster? Hahaha—I'm just kidding."
Wizard John laughed, "I have a good impression of this wizard."
"He is indeed very capable."
"Since it's the Creation Lotus puzzle, then our time as third-ring wizards here isn't a waste."
"I wonder if anyone will solve this creation puzzle today: the Creation Lotus."
A Moon Ring Wizard headmaster sitting nearby twitched his ears. He was the headmaster of the lower-ranked [Iris Horned Dragon Garden] academy in the Rain Swamp. At this moment, his expression turned serious, and he quickly reviewed the information.
"This competition has become a reality, not a mere illusion."
"The Creation Puzzle: The Creation Lotus. Ladies and gentlemen—this is the Creation Puzzle: The Creation Lotus. Fourteen hundred years have passed since this puzzle was created. Over fourteen hundred years have passed; many magical disciplines have disappeared, and many new magical disciplines have emerged, but this puzzle remains unsolved."
At this moment, Locke, on the podium, voluntarily acknowledged that this was the Creation Puzzle.
"This is the Creation Puzzle: The Creation Lotus. The final round of this competition will be to solve the Creation Puzzle. The wizard who solves the Creation Puzzle will obtain the truth and secrets of Wizard Probus. And the truth of Wizard Probus is of great benefit to a breeder."
"This competition will be one that helps people fake forging."
The entire hall suddenly fell silent.
For a moment, it was as if a spell to silence the entire hall had been cast.
Helping people fake forging?
Therefore, this competition must at least reach the level of pseudo-forging. This competition is the platform for pseudo-forging, and this platform can already elevate a wizard at the limit of Star Ring Magic Pressure to perform pseudo-forging.
But why would Locke bring out such an important resource?
And what level must a wizard who can help others with pseudo-forging be?
Only now did the more than one thousand second-ring wizards in the Rain Swamp understand what kind of competition this was.
Locke introduced the Creation Lotus to everyone.
"Over 1400 years ago, a Truth Wizard from the Holy School of the White Wizarding Association was drawn to a medium-sized world while passing through it. We all know that planes exist in various types, and that world was one situated within a blue lotus. The world's birth was the sprouting of the Primordial Blue Lotus, and its destruction was the withering of the Primordial Blue Lotus." "
Each time the Primordial Blue Lotus withered and died, it left behind a seed, which would then hatch into a new world."
"This is what the people of that world called the 'Lotus Reincarnation.'"
"But the Truth Wizard discovered that the people of that world were terrified of their world's destruction. They would try everything to prevent its destruction, that is, to prevent the Blue Lotus from declining or withering. This is only natural, and not surprising,"
Locke said. "However, the people of the Primordial Blue Lotus plane devised a way to extract the energy from the lotus seed that the Blue Lotus nurtured, to nourish the present Blue Lotus. They wanted to use their superior civilization to perpetuate the present by sacrificing the future."
"This method wasn't ineffective. At the height of this super-civilization's power, they continuously extracted energy from the lotus seeds to sustain the Azure Lotus. But every civilization has its rise and fall. When this super-civilization declined due to internal strife, no one maintained this mechanism, leading to the sudden destruction of that generation's Creation Azure Lotus. That super-civilization withered along with the Creation Azure Lotus, their world and their civilization returning to chaos. Only a few escaped and scattered to other worlds." "
And the demise of this super-civilization is the origin of the Elven race."
Many wizards present nodded. The Elven race existed in many worlds, but they were all outsiders for this reason.
They once had a super-civilization comparable in scale to a wizarding civilization, but this super-civilization had a poor foundation from the start—the Creation Azure Lotus, a medium-to-large-scale plane.
After that generation's Creation Azure Lotus withered, the Elven race tried every means to spread the seeds of their civilization throughout the void.
Locke said this on the podium. Now that everyone knew the final competition would be about the Creation Problem, no one dared to underestimate it.
And some people with ulterior motives, after learning the questions for the final round, realized that there was no longer any chance of getting away with it.
As the competition progresses, some of the hidden truths will be revealed.
Locke continued, "The problem of the Creation Lotus evolved from this. The act of the Elven super-civilization extending the life of that generation of the Creation Lotus directly resulted in the next generation being almost impossible to conceive. Fortunately, the Creation Lotus was still conceived, but it was inherently flawed. This also meant that after each generation that flourished, every Creation Lotus was inherently defective, with inherent deficiencies."
"Each generation of the Creation Lotus would give birth to a new civilization and a new race, but since the Elven super-civilization, the Creation Lotus, sensing the terrifying power of super-civilizations, actually sensed a Void Queen in the void. This Queen is a small group of Void Insects, and it has since parasitized the lotus leaves of the Creation Lotus. Every time the Creation Lotus is reborn, the Queen is also reborn, constantly devouring the Creation Lotus while simultaneously breeding insect swarms on its lotus leaves, ready to invade the prime material plane inside the lotus heart at any time."
"And when the Primordial Lotus falls into destruction, the insect queen and the swarm will also lack the accumulated energy to cross the void, causing them to remain in place and starve to death. In this process, they will produce more Void Insect Queen eggs."
Many wizards present, unaware of the Primordial Lotus's dilemma, nodded in agreement.
It's like the Primordial Lotus, the primordial magical plant of that world, directly captured a lone Void Insect swarm and then made it work for it for lifetimes to come.
Clearly, the Primordial Lotus was psychologically traumatized by the elven super-civilization that emerged by chance in a previous life. It was willing to go to great lengths to capture a Void Swarm Mother to suppress any potential super-civilization it might possess.
Locke explained, "Therefore, the Primordial Lotus world has two major problems. First, the Primordial Lotus is inherently flawed. Since the elven super-civilization, each generation of the Primordial Lotus has become weaker. Each withering and reproduction has failed to achieve energy balance. As time passes, instead of recovering, the problem has worsened. When our Wizarding Civilization's Truth Wizards discovered this world, they asserted that the Primordial Lotus could no longer give birth to another one." "
In other words, the Primordial Lotus in that world has reached its limit."
"Secondly, the Creation Lotus world, stimulated by the captured Insect Queen, constantly seeks more energy to escape this magical plant trap for the swarm. Each time, the Insect Queen plunges into the prime material plane within the still-developing Creation Lotus world, destroying nascent civilizations. This makes it difficult for new super-civilizations to emerge in the Creation Lotus plane and exacerbates its decline. In other words, it worsens the first problem, and because the world cannot give birth to a native super-civilization, no one is there to solve the world's problems. Since being severely damaged by a super-civilization, the Creation Lotus has been trapped in a vicious cycle, gradually heading towards its demise." "
Therefore, the Wizard of Truth in our wizarding world set up a magic array, using fourth-circle magic to gather the power of his entire lineage, extracting the Creation Lotus and creating the Creation Problem, thus preventing the Creation Lotus world from reaching its final, complete annihilation." "
After creating this problem, the Wizard of Truth issued a proclamation to the entire wizarding world at that time, inviting wizards of the Star Ring level and below to come and solve the problem."
"Whoever can solve the vicious cycle of the Creation Lotus will have solved the Creation Problem, and the Creation Problem will automatically be resolved. The Creation Lotus will return to the void and have a new location until we wizards rediscover it in the void thousands of years later, perhaps by then it will have a completely new appearance,"
Locke said. "And for a world to become a world of life is inherently a coincidence. A large amount of research has proven to us the scarcity and preciousness of life-bearing planes, and we have also discovered the uplifting effect of life on the world. However, everything has its advantages. The super civilization that the Creation Lotus gave birth to by chance—a civilization that could only have been born in a large world—" "
That super civilization sacrificed the future of the entire world for the prosperity of its own time. The actions of this super civilization greatly damaged the Creation Lotus world, causing the Creation Lotus world to react and automatically resist the possibility that the life it gave birth to could give birth to a super civilization."
"But the truth wizard of the Holy School back then said that we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. A super civilization is a treasure of the world, and we shouldn't negate the path to a super civilization because of one failure. He believed that to break the vicious cycle of the Creation Lotus, native intelligent life must give birth to a super civilization, which in turn nourishes the world and makes up for the inherent deficiencies of the Creation Lotus." "
Therefore, the only way to solve this problem is to support the native races involved in the Creation Lotus problem, and after the Creation Lotus withers, the new lotus seeds can give birth to a new world. Then the problem will be solved. If no new lotus seeds appear after the Creation Lotus withers, or if the lotus seeds cannot give birth to a new Creation Lotus, then the timeline will restart, returning to the initial state."
"If all the native intelligent life within the Creation Lotus is wiped out, the problem will be considered solved, and we'll have to return to the beginning,"
Locke said. "That Wizard of Truth set a threshold for wizards; only botanical wizards and breeding wizards can enter this world. He believes the Creation Lotus should be a high-level magical plant. Therefore, the relevant wizards should be allowed to solve the problem." The
wizards present exchanged glances.
They immediately understood why no wizard had solved this problem for over 1400 years.
The reason was simple.
To compensate for the inherent deficiencies of the Creation Lotus and allow the native life it nurtured to develop into a super civilization was inherently very difficult. It
wasn't even difficult enough to describe.
Wizards who could do it were already considered geniuses.
But the problem was that the Creation Lotus had summoned locusts and void swarms from the void.
In other words, the wizards who wanted to solve the problem had to address both the inherent deficiencies of the Creation Lotus and the existence of the void swarms in this world.
The simultaneous emergence of two major problems made things extremely complicated.
Locke said, "These are the competition rules. Please read them carefully, all contestants. I will also show them to you through the illusion screen."
The wizards present began to discuss.
"If that's the case, then it means that the wizards who enter the finals will have to use the ecological community under their own Great Magic System to solve this problem. Because the original race of the Creation Lotus is unable to solve this problem without external help, from a realistic point of view, they have already reached the point of the complete destruction of the entire world, making it impossible to recreate. That means the wizards will have to use their Great Magic to help the original race of this Creation Lotus plane." "
It seems that this competition means that, influenced by the magic of that Truth Wizard, one year in this Creation Problem is equivalent to one minute in the outside world. So time is accelerated until the problem is solved, or the problem is reset due to failure. But because of the limitations of the Creation Problem, each person can only enter this Creation Problem twice in their lifetime. Once they exceed two, they can no longer solve the problem. This doesn't matter, since in this competition, you only need to enter this Creation Problem once."
"So the core of the entire competition is the clash between two extremely powerful magical systems. This is a real test of skill. Each wizard teaches their own power system to the native races within the Creation Lotus, which is equivalent to a clash between their power systems. Since we need to combat the inherent weaknesses of the Creation Lotus and the dangers of the Void Swarm, we need to unite all forces and unify the world, which requires different power systems to compete against each other. The weakest power system will be the first to be eliminated."
Many Star Ring wizards' expressions turned grim as they contemplated that scenario.
For the wizards of the Void Forging Sect, they were all extremely proud, each able to explain their world to some extent with their own theories. But this final Creation Problem in the competition would so blatantly expose the strengths and weaknesses of their theoretical systems to everyone, including themselves, leaving them with no excuses.
This was a competition that truly tested their skills.
No one expected Locke to go to such lengths, even bringing out the Creation Problem.
The Macedonian witch quickly scanned the information on the Creation Lotus, her brow furrowing.
"Very well, that suits me perfectly. I'll use my power system to dismantle yours within this competition."
"Locke, let's begin."
Locke chuckled, "I want to specifically remind all the contestants that, according to the information I currently possess, due to the inherent deficiencies of the Genesis Lotus Plane, the biggest problem in the early stages isn't just the Void Worm Swarm, but the harsh living conditions. Please, all nine contestants, enter the laboratory. We will enter the Genesis Lotus Dilemma through the memory world created by the Bitterwood. During my participation in the competition, the competition will be maintained by the competition committee led by Wizard Thomas and Wizard Grandet, who will enforce the rules. I have also placed the Golden Bull Horn artifact of the local Witcher Wizards of the Rain Swamp in Wizard Thomas's hands. If anyone attempts to disrupt the competition, Wizard Thomas will decide whether to summon the Witcher Wizards based on the situation." "
Furthermore, I reiterate that the winner of this competition will obtain the truth about Wizard Probus."
Locke repeatedly emphasized this point. This ritual is a way to invoke the essence of Wizard Probus, allowing his essence to return. He intends to use this statement to continuously reinforce the impression that the champion can obtain the truth, thereby invoking the essence of Wizard Probus.
This was also part of ritual magic.
Locke announced, "I hereby declare the Probus Truth Unveiling Competition, Round Three, officially open!"
Locke and the ten contestants all transformed into streaks of light and rushed into the laboratory. This time, the Probus Wizard's echo did not stop them, but stood like a gatekeeper at the laboratory entrance, guarding the door and preventing any wizards other than the contestants from entering.
Before Locke entered the examination room, his eyes met those of the Probus Wizard's echo. Locke recognized that the consciousness of the original Probus had descended upon this echo, and he was preparing to complete his so-called infinite evil path within it. Behind this echo, the phantom of the Abyss Queen flashed by.
The memory of his last conversation with the original Probus appeared in his mind.
"Locke, I have no chance."
Locke entered the examination room.
At that moment, the final truly began. A ritual involving eleven top geniuses, and even Locke himself, commenced. Inside the Black Sun Tower's branch tower of this era, the enormous fake corpse seated in its place raised a finger.
The wizards who were performing the ritual couldn't help but look up.
"It's happening again. Who is initiating the ritual? This ritual has the foundation for a grand ritual."
Inside the Creation Lotus, Locke and the ten contestants were engrossed in their test. In the chaos, a blue lotus floated, its flower slowly blooming.
This was possibly the last time this world would bloom. This bloom was extremely slow. The blue lotus was pale
and colorless, its leaves small with brown spots.
The stamens and anthers were shriveled, and its lotus seedpod was naturally black and somewhat deformed, indicating that this Creation Lotus was congenitally infertile.
It was already remarkable that it could bloom in this lifetime.
There would be no next lifetime.
The ancient, elite civilization of the Elven race forcibly extracted energy from the lotus seeds to ensure its own perpetual existence, causing the Creation Lotus to never return to its original peak. In this life, this world would be utterly reduced to chaos, with no possibility of anything else.
After the Creation Lotus bloomed in this life, the world within its heart returned to its proper order, and the principles of different planes intertwined, giving birth to a world. Soon, lava condensed, the earth took shape, and plants began to descend upon it. As the plants settled, soil was created, and the earth was enveloped in a green world, with animals beginning to appear.
However, this life of the Creation Lotus world was unable to nurture intelligent life, seemingly because its original nature was too severely damaged. Locke and his companions waited for a long time in the heavens, but no intelligent life was born.
At the same time, due to its inherent deficiencies, besides the successful hatching of the main material plane, only some demi-planes and spatial fragments were born. The small worlds, which were standard for medium-to-large-scale worlds, were not born at all.
A light rain shrouded the prime material plane of this world, lasting for an astonishing 1440 years.
The creation of this world seemed so bleak that even heaven and earth grieved. This should have been its final swan song, but then eleven genius wizards arrived, and eleven universal pressures, equivalent to small worlds, appeared within the crystal walls of this world.
The Witch of Mahorton looked at everyone and said, "Waiting any longer is just a waste of time."
"This world has yet to give birth to intelligent life; we can't wait any longer. This world's lifespan is only a fraction of a normal world's. If we waste so much time waiting for it to spontaneously generate intelligent life, that would be terrible. We must do something ourselves,"
said the wizard Ramses. "What do you intend to do?"
The Witch of Mahorton said, "Descend all eleven of our universal laws upon the prime material plane of this world. The eleven universal laws will simultaneously amplify the total universal pressure of the prime material plane, bringing some energy to this world. This should accelerate the birth of intelligent life."
"I've identified a bipedal ape race. I think with a little more nurturing, we should be able to quickly produce an intelligent ape-human race."
The wizard Ramses nodded and said, "That's good."
One of the wizards from the Four-Legged Rain Swamp frowned and said, "No. I object. If we do that, our Great Law will also be connected to this world. Then, if this world declines, our Great Law will also decline. Once the Great Law is connected to this world, if this world experiences the laws of doomsday or the laws of planes related to the decline of planes, these laws of planes will definitely test our Great Law. Even if this is a creation problem, and everything eventually returns to its origin, the impact of these declining plane laws testing our Great Law will not disappear."
"This would have a very serious impact on our magic. I don't think we should do that."
Upon hearing this, the wizard of the Rainy Marsh, who also felt the move was too risky, said, "Indeed. Mrs. Mahorton, you are skilled and daring. But I have serious doubts about it."
The witch Mahorton frowned.
"What? You don't even have the ability or confidence to fight against the plane's laws related to decay? If that's the case, why did you come to participate in this competition?"
Wizard Edgar pondered for a moment and said, "Excuse me, I just did some mental calculations. What the Witch of Mahorton said should be feasible." "
So I support her. The earlier the intelligent species appears, the more time we have to solve the problem."
"I think her plan is worth a try. And I don't think that the universal laws I've constructed can't fight against the plane's laws of decay."
Haishan pondered for a moment and said, "I also support the Witch of Mahorton. Because even if we don't bring down universal laws now, they will eventually. Leaving our own universal laws outside the heavens, just using the power multiplication system to test this world, and then wanting to win this competition, I think is a bit naive." "
Ultimately, someone will definitely be the first to bring down universal laws to test this world."
"Then, others will be forced to follow suit. In other words, doing it sooner or later makes no difference."
The wizard standing in the swamp said, "There are still differences. The later we unleash our Axioms, the less influence this world will have on us. Besides, we haven't made up our minds to fight tooth and nail for this competition, risking our Axioms being distorted by the planes of decay, just to win. If we don't unleash our Axioms now, we still have the possibility of leaving this competition with minimal cost."
Seeing the two sides arguing
endlessly, the witch Rose snorted and deliberately said, "How about we fight now? The winner gets to keep their word
. "
Upon hearing this, the eleven Star Ring wizards within the eleven Axioms in the sky immediately glared at each other menacingly.
Locke spoke up, "Everyone, there's no need for such trouble. Everything began with the elven civilization, and I believe it should also end with it. The competition requires native species of this world, but we all know that elves are the native species of this world. Strictly speaking, all the pure-blooded elves within the void are descendants of the native species of this plane. Even if they drank water or ate food from other worlds, they are still native species of this world." "
I have already purchased a large number of ordinary elven species through the Dingbosang family."
"The evolution of this world has now stabilized; mountains and rivers, all things have evolved, leaving only the protagonist of this world—intelligent life."
"I will submit these 110,000 ordinary wood elves, acquired through these purchases, to this world for the examination."
"We, the people of Wangren, possess ten thousand Wood Elves. These Wood Elves are descendants of ordinary slaves captured by the Fang of Terror after the destruction of a small world. They are like stray dogs, without their own cultural heritage or civilization, like blank slates. Now they will start anew in this world. What do you all think?"
The four wizards of Yuli Swamp's eyes lit up; this was naturally the best possible outcome.
The witch of Maodun and the others had no reason to object.
Locke then waved his hand, and all 110,000 ordinary Wood Elves in his Evolutionary Moon's realm descended upon this world.
The entire Creation Lotus trembled continuously, and the principles of the various planes converged, seemingly understanding the current situation. The reappearance of the Elf race in this world naturally carried the original sin; they possessed the original sin of world destruction. Therefore, every Elf was stripped of their naturally endowed long lifespan of a thousand years, leaving them with less than thirty years to live. Moreover, they were no longer immune to disease; upon entering this world, they began to suffer from illness and misfortune.
This was the world's hatred for the Elf race.
Even after countless years, this world still harbors hatred for the elven race.
However, the principles of the partial plane of the Creation Lotus continue to tremble, seemingly welcoming the return of these elven races and acknowledging them as the original races of this world.
This means that although these elves are born burdened with the original sin of this world, this world will protect them, preventing their race from premature extinction; they enjoy a thousand-year protection period for newly born races.
Within the Rain Marsh, on the viewing platform, over a thousand wizards of the second ring or higher nodded in agreement.
Locke's solution was excellent, directly eliminating the energy needed for the world to nurture intelligent life forms, and the elves were originally the races of that world.
At this moment, the Deer Witch Edith looked at the Creation Lotus world with complex emotions.
"Is this... my original home?"
The High Elf Great World was the best habitat the elven race found later, where they were reborn. However, they were not the original inhabitants of the High Elf Great World. In fact, their arrival indirectly led to the extinction of the original inhabitants. But the High Elf Great World was a very tolerant world.
It accepted the elven race and regarded them as its own intelligent life form.
Edith the witch looked at the competition with a complex expression.
"This is our true home. Did we cause its current predicament?"
At this moment, within the Creation Problem: the Creation Lotus, a thousand years quickly passed—less than a day in the Wizarding World.
The elven race thrived and multiplied in that world, quickly adapting and becoming the original species once again.
Locke and the others waited until the elven realm was cleansed of the planes of the Orta world before the examination began.
After all, if they had intervened beforehand, their legal power would have corrupted these elves. These elves would never have been truly native to this world, and the creation problem would have failed from the start.
They certainly wouldn't make such a foolish mistake.
To fail at the beginning would be truly laughable.
At this moment, all eleven Star Ring Wizards began using their Saintly Avatars to descend upon the earth, entering the elven tribe to spread their legal laws and their power systems. The competition officially began.
On the land of the Creation Lotus World, an elven chieftain in an elven tribe, facing over a thousand years of winter and plague, and with his tribe on the verge of collapse and his people already disheartened, carved a piece of wood with an iron knife.
His wife stood beside him and whispered, "Elder, what are you going to do?"
Elder El, staring at the wood in his hands, said, "Our tribe has lost its faith. We came together to fight this long winter, but the light in our eyes has vanished. I must tell them that we are protected by a great being. I've heard that elves in distant tribes claim to be protected by gods." "
So, I will also become a god. I will carve a wooden sculpture of a god with this dagger."
"Then our tribe will have a god. With a god, everyone will have faith."
His wife asked, "But what if there really are gods in this world?"
"Won't we offend those gods?"
Elder El shook his head. "There are no gods. Gods are all made up by us elders. Only by making up a god can our tribe have a glimmer of hope. Now, I will make up a god. This is only for the immediate crisis."
Locke appeared beside him, looking at the wooden puppet in his hands.
"Your craftsmanship is quite good."
"But have you considered that while you may not believe in God, will your next Ochrand, and the Ochrand after that, believe that God is just something you made up to boost everyone's faith?"
"Ochrand, you've created a god to make things easier for yourself, but it will make all the people of your tribe believe you in the future."
The elf Ochrand looked at the unfamiliar elf before him, his face slightly flushed.
"You—you elf, how did you just barge into my home? I've never seen you in the tribe before."
Locke nodded. The world of the Primordial Lotus was incomplete, lacking the concepts of humans and wizards. Therefore, his own incarnation as a saint in this world was directly an elf.
"Chief, let your people rely on themselves,"
the elf chieftain said, his eyes dimming.
"But if we rely on ourselves, we won't even survive this winter."
Locke produced a scroll.
"Chief, this is written in Elvish: The Way of the Ranger. Anyone who reads this can become a Ranger.
Call all your people, and I will teach you the Way of the Ranger. Not only will you survive this winter, but you might even survive countless winters to come." "
Even—even if the world ends in the future, you will still exist."
The elf chieftain's pupils suddenly contracted.
At this moment, in all ten elven tribes of Aoyu, ten saintly incarnations of wizards appeared, and similar things happened in all of them.
Eleven saints descended upon the land of the Primordial Lotus, imparting their teachings.
The world cheered, even the congenitally underdeveloped Azure Lotus gained some color. The eleven power systems of eleven wizarding geniuses represented eleven civilizations.
Wizarding civilizations were civilizations of civilizations.
Even a single Star Ring Wizard represented a civilization.
The arrival of eleven civilizations directly propelled this stagnant Creation Azure Lotus world towards—the Golden Age!
Meanwhile, on the lotus leaf of the Creation Azure Lotus, a crack appeared in an insect egg, revealing a compound eye within it, greedily gazing at the prime material plane of this world.
"21 times. I keep transforming into an egg to start anew. This seems to be my last chance. I will devour all life forms in this world, absorb all wisdom. I am the Wisdom Insect World, Heart of the Insect World, Tarasha."
"It's our old adversary, the Nightmare Legion: the Wizarding Civilization."
"Excellent. If I devour them, I might be able to escape this Void Realm."
