Chapter 151: Invitations from All Sides

Lin Lei triggered a Curse outside Moka Town and performed consecutive long-distance Teleportations. These actions seemed hidden, but in the circle of Mages, they were completely obvious. Especially the latter, the Subspace Fluctuation caused by Teleportation could spread throughout the entire Star System almost instantly.

A powerful Mage had appeared in Tanster! This was the consensus of all high-level Mages.

The intelligent beings in the Andromeda Galaxy did not rely on technology to survive in the universe like the Galaxy; instead, they relied on their own Will and power, which caused a certain ambiguity.

The Will of a creature was the most difficult thing to describe with measurements. The strength of two Mages of the same level could not be determined before they fought. Therefore, Mages of the same level held mutual awe for each other.

This was unlike the Galaxy, where everything was controlled by a nearly harsh Digital Life, not allowing even the slightest abnormality.

Therefore, Lin Lei’s sudden appearance did not cause hostility or doubt among the Mages of the Star System; they only thought that this Mage had hidden himself too well before and had risen suddenly.

Ultimately, this was the fog brought about by the inability of independent Wills to communicate completely without barriers.

Lin Lei had now shed the constraints of the Galaxy and became a free interstellar life. This point also made it impossible for the Mages, who were extremely sensitive to auras, to find anything abnormal.

Lin Lei had not yet found a foothold on Montokas Star when many people came to invite him to join various organizations.

The one with the greatest background was undoubtedly the Holy Council. These believers of Deities controlled more than 80% of the resources of the Main Plane, and their strength was unfathomable. It was said that among their members, there were truly immortal existences!

For a Fifth-grade Archmage, the Holy Council still showed some regard. The person they sent was also a powerful Mage, and coincidentally a Sixth-grade Archmage.

He wore a gorgeous Priest robe and did not hide the powerful energy fluctuations on his body. He just demanded in a domineering manner that Lin Lei join the Holy Council.

This Sixth-grade Archmage was named Lefo. He was one of the members of the Holy Council and had considerable influence in the Council, but not enough to cover the sky with one hand.

“Sir, I am surprised that you have not joined any Mage organization, but that is not important. I am here today to invite you to join the Holy Council, and I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer!”

When Lefo said these words, his voice carried a certain pressure of Will. Lin Lei was fine, but Loga, this First-grade Mage, almost knelt down.

In Loga’s view, this Archmage, with fragmented energy light constantly appearing around his body, was not much different from a real Deity.

This domineering attitude aroused Lin Lei’s disgust. He was a Fifth-grade Mage, but what he had comprehended was the complete Dimensional Element of a Pan-dimensional Creature!

This was almost a complete description of the Universe, unlike this Mage who had only comprehended a part and one aspect of the Dimensional Element.

It was like using a computer; Lefo only knew how to use it, how to turn it on and off, how to browse the web, and perhaps had some experience in using it.

But Lin Lei was someone who understood the underlying hardware structure of the entire computer clearly. The gap between the two could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Even if they fought now, the result would only be both sides getting hurt.

Lefo was also vaguely aware of this. He felt the mysterious and unfathomable power of the Mage in front of him, which was very deep and vast!

This was also the reason why he had not used coercive means. He did not want to lose such a seed with infinite potential. But his deep-rooted arrogance was hard to hide for a while, which destined this trip to return empty-handed.

Lin Lei was just about to refuse when a figure rapidly fell from the sky not far away.

Needless to say, this was a hapless Mage who had Teleported to a height of ten meters. Fortunately, he had adjusted his posture when landing and opened an Energy Shield, so he did not appear in a sorry state.

The newcomer wore a simple gray robe. After standing firm and seeing the situation here, he very properly bowed to Archmage Lefo to show respect, and at the same time smiled slightly at Lin Lei to show friendliness.

He looked very old, his face full of wrinkles, and he leaned on a large wooden staff in his hand. Oh no, it should be something similar to a staff.

But Lefo did not care about his respect. He snorted coldly and said: “Archmage Merlin, you are the President of the Alliance; how do you have time to come here!”

As soon as he said this, Lin Lei understood the purpose of this old man. Like Lefo, he was here to recruit people.

Merlin smiled good-naturedly: “Archmage Lefo, you are joking. The Alliance is made up of Free Mages. I am just a nominal President and do not handle too many affairs.”

Then, he turned to Lin Lei and said: “So this is Archmage Lin Lei? You look very young; this is really a nostalgic age.”

This Archmage Merlin looked ordinary, but with Lin Lei’s subtle perception, he could feel a powerful and obscure energy fluctuation from him, which was not inferior to Archmage Lefo standing opposite him, and even faintly surpassed him.

This powerful President should be the guarantee that the Free Mage Alliance could still exist under the squeeze of the Holy Council.

When Loga saw Merlin, the President of the Alliance, he became as obedient as a rabbit. He only weakly said hello from the side and then immediately moved far away from the center of this energy storm.

Three existences with incredibly powerful Wills and energy stood together, and their influence on the environment had a superimposed effect.

Although it was far from the Forbidden Domain formed by Pan-dimensional Creatures, a barrier of energy faintly formed within a range of tens of meters around the three.

Inside the energy barrier, three different Wills were touching slightly, testing each other’s strength.

The three were silent for a while, and the result of this test came out, which shocked Lefo and Merlin. This young Fifth-grade Archmage opposite them was incredibly powerful on the level of Will. Under the joint resistance of Merlin and Lefo, they only managed a draw.

This was the result of Lin Lei comprehending the Dimensional Element of Pan-dimensional Creatures.

Unknowingly, Lefo’s arrogant attitude softened, while Merlin looked at Lin Lei with even greater respect.

“Archmage Lin Lei, I know the purpose of Archmage Lefo’s visit, but as the President of the Free Mage Alliance, I still presumptuously invite you to join. I hope you can consider our Alliance before making a choice.”

Merlin’s posture was even lower. For the growth of the Free Mage Alliance, this bit of face was nothing.

Lefo’s expression became more complicated. He looked at Lin Lei and could imagine the bright future of this young Mage. Breaking through to the Sixth-grade was almost inevitable. By then, he would occupy a seat in the Holy Council and become his competitor.

Then, inviting such a competitive opponent into the Holy Council became a question worth considering.

The Holy Council was a mature and huge organization, and the distribution of forces inside was intricate and extremely complex. Lefo was afraid that he would introduce Lin Lei but could not control him.

Looking at his current Will strength, wanting to control such a powerful person was basically impossible!

Lefo was hesitating, and Merlin was inviting warmly, but Lin Lei refused both with a smile. He was not familiar with the current situation at all. Recklessly joining any organization would only cut off his own retreat.

“I will consider the suggestions of both of you. But Archmage Merlin, as you can see, I am a Mage who is freer than the Free Mages of your Alliance. I seek nothing but the truth. Could you two let me consider it for a while?”

This situation was normal. In fact, there were quite a few such Free Mages, so Lefo and Merlin did not feel surprised.

But Lefo was a member of the Holy Council that almost covered the sky with one hand in the Main Plane. He did not look happy about Lin Lei’s refusal. He did not speak, just snorted coldly, and then Teleported away.

Although this young Mage was powerful, the Holy Council did not lack such people. One less was not too few, and one more was not too many.

Merlin always maintained good manners. He said to Lin Lei with some deep meaning: “I can understand your heart longing for freedom, but in this autocratic Main Plane, wanting freedom must come at a price. This is also the original intention of the establishment of the Alliance. The Free Mage Alliance will always open its doors for you!”

“I will seriously consider your words, Archmage Merlin. Thank you for your tolerance.”

As for Loga, this little Mage was of no use to him anymore, and he would not take this burden with him. However, he might as well put in a good word for him in front of Merlin.

“That little Mage Loga helped me a lot. His talent is not bad either. Perhaps the Alliance should give him some attention.”

Merlin turned around and looked at Loga standing alone not far away. He carefully sensed his ability status, and then said: “He has above-average aptitude; he will get a chance.”

“Then Archmage Merlin, I will leave now.” Lin Lei took a step back, then activated the Disintegration Field and disappeared right in front of Merlin.

This was the wondrous use of the first dimension of energy. Although Merlin could also do it, he could not hide his traces completely like Lin Lei could now.

At this moment, except for the induction on the Will level, Merlin could not feel any sign of Lin Lei’s existence, which deepened his understanding of this Mage.

Lin Lei planned to find a quiet place to start secluded cultivation.

5,000 years of time would be enough for him to become an incredibly powerful Pan-dimensional Creature!

Only by then would he be able to compete with the Blood-colored Abyss and avenge the killing of his daughter and wife.
