A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1216: Chapter 1217: Nether Spider’s Invitation

Another two thousand years have passed.

The Face of Truth completed the thirteenth phase of the Growth Ring Project and the fourteenth phase of the Blood Flow Project. For Green in the era of lower beings, these had some impact, but now, for Green, these two phases are merely auxiliary to the growth of the Face of Truth.

The "Book of Truth" has also seen significant development, and now Green can easily seal creatures like the Trick Crystal Terminator, which are not considered strong Level-6 organisms, provided the conditions are perfect.

This has laid the foundational memory support for Green to perform the dimensional rift sealing technique.

Due to being trapped in the Dimensional Esophagus, Green cannot complete the destiny of infinite unknown with the Grand World combined in "Grimm’s Fairy Tales." How to connect the Grand World with the Light of the Balance Lever Rule remains an important task.

It seems that completing this Truth Lever Magic Wand is impossible for Green during the time he is bound in the Dimensional Esophagus as a Sixth-level Stigmata Great Wizard; he must return to the Wizard World to obtain some necessary conditions.

As for the research in the Life Key Domain, Green’s progress is minimal, with hardly any hope visible. On the contrary, he’s becoming increasingly adept with destructive force manipulation.

Thus, Green, having completed reserving power with the Self-sealing Technique, and also continuously nurturing growth with six Sorcery Instruments within: extreme abyss magic wand, Ninety-Nine Unity Sword, amber ring, Soul Catcher’s Net, Nine Revered Mountains, Yin-Yang Dichotomy Lantern—if he could return to the Wizard World now and participate in the World War, he would almost immediately become a formidable force affecting the local battlefield of the Grand World for the Wizarding Alliance.

However, attempting to return to the Coffin of Hope Gathering Place to challenge the four Casket Ascenders is still far from enough!

Especially against the Paper Man and Demon Doll, Green estimates that without more than two eras of Oblivion Fit stacking power, he couldn’t possibly confront them.

Thus, for now, he waits quietly at this relatively safe Convergence Grounds of the Piercing Gate, without interference from the Illusory World or Temporal Storm, hoping to reach the limit of his sixth-level Elemental Wizard knowledge system by himself, which isn’t bad.

Knock, knock, knock.

The gentle knocking sound made Green, who was conducting experiments, lift his three-colored light eyes. The Face of Truth penetrated through the bone wall, slightly surprised—Nether Spider King Avatar?

"Come in."

Green got up and ceremonially greeted the Nether Spider King behind Mesocea.

Though the two aren’t exactly friends, in the unfamiliar and perilous realm of the Dimensional Esophagus, without conflicting interests, they can exchange equally and amiably, which is rare.

"Shoo, shoo, ever since you came to this Convergence Grounds of the Piercing Gate, besides cleaning out some random little creatures in the territory two thousand years ago, you’ve hardly made any noise, keeping a mysterious air. Won’t you visit other predator territories?"

It was still the same Nether Spider King Avatar, following Mesocea into Green’s room, already familiar like a regular visitor, understanding the setup of Green Laboratory well.

Green shook his head, saying, "No rush. I was planning to try visiting again in a thousand or two thousand years. Why, is there any change?"

Green handed a cup of aromatic coffee to the Nether Spider King Avatar.

Each visit, this Nether Spider King Avatar must taste this marvelous beverage from Green, seemingly addicted.

"Change... indeed there are some changes! One of the two strongest predators in this Convergence Grounds of the Piercing Gate, mountain river awe, due to severe injuries, is already close to the brink of life. It’s feared that soon, Demon Feather Phoenix will dominate the Piercing Gate alone, which isn’t something we wish to see. So I privately invited a few powerful predators to discuss countermeasures. Is the Oblivion Sorcerer interested?"

Oh?

Green slightly furrowed his brows.

Regarding the old generation of predators leading a large number of exiles to attack a nearby Dominators when the time arises, Green has grown familiar with this over the years, but didn’t expect that upon returning to the Convergence Grounds of the Piercing Gate as a part of the veteran predators, one of them is going to fall like this.

The so-called twelve predators in today’s Convergence Grounds of the Piercing Gate are vastly different from before.

"What happens if only Demon Feather Phoenix remains reigning supremely?"

Green queried puzzledly.

"That was when I first arrived at the Piercing Gate. At that time, there were as many as twenty-seven top predators gathered here, each as powerful as mountain sea awe and Demon Feather Phoenix are now. It was due to an internal war here that I accidentally learned of Demon Feather Phoenix’s unique ability."

Nether Spider King’s voice was low and extremely solemn.

"Every time after Demon Feather Phoenix bathes in blood and rebirths, for the next chance of bathing in blood and rebirth, it must accumulate a blood egg essence, and this blood egg essence must be constituted of the purest blood from a handful of strong individuals close to it. Do you understand now?"

"Hmm? Why not use mountain sea awe’s?"

Green asked surprised, finally understanding why the Nether Spider King was worried. Without the balance of mountain sea awe, the selection for Demon Feather Phoenix’s blood egg essence target is definitely among other top predators at the Convergence Grounds, and it’s certainly not one or two.

"Hmph, seems you truly know nothing about the other predators here. Mountain sea awe is classified as a Stone Turtle—what blood does it have!"

With a dismissive response from the Nether Spider King Avatar, Green was slightly startled, realizing now.

"Hiss... How long can the mountain sea awe predator last?"

The Nether Spider King kept blinking, seemingly calculating, and spoke deeply, "I estimate at most another one thousand to two thousand years; it’s tremendously injured."

One or two thousand years?

As chaos is about to break loose here, directly eliminating any unrealistic ideas of escaping from the Convergence Grounds of the Piercing Gate, through this Piercing Gate leaving the Dimensional Esophagus.

As for waiting here for several eras to gather a group of fearsome strong and attempt to hunt down the descending Dominators, Green wouldn’t even consider it. Instead, he might as well with odds of one against three attempt to kill the three Casket Ascenders and find the Time Casket.

However, Green’s still rather curious about the current strong ones here at the Piercing Gate, using them as reference for opposing the Casket Ascenders.

Meeting them before anything else isn’t a bad idea!

Thinking thus, Green said, "Alright, when do we gather? The other predators at the Piercing Gate, I wonder how they compare to the other Coffin of Hope Gathering Place I’ve been to."

"Coffin of Hope?"

The Nether Spider King Avatar shook its head, seemingly never heard of it, slurping down a sip of strong aromatic coffee, with an expression of immense enjoyment.

"Then let’s gather in a hundred years, prepare early to avoid further unforeseen changes."

Speaking thus, under Green’s gaze, the Nether Spider King emptied its cup of coffee and left the laboratory.
