Chapter 1097 The Fake Forging Emperor – Unrivaled in Heaven and Earth!
At this moment, Locke looked at the land of the Creation Lotus, and saw that it was covered with forests composed of fifteen kinds of apprentice-level ancient trees. There were not many of these forests, because they were, after all, apprentice-level magical plants, and this world was inherently deficient in land resources.
However, these forests occupied exactly one-third of the world’s area.
Edgar, who directly descended with his special manifestation – the Imperial Emperor, waved his hand, and one ancient tree after another rose from the ground. Within his second-ring level wide-range Wisdom Enlightenment Spell, they transformed into tree people. Among them, the most powerful were the apprentice-level War Ancient Tree tree people, which were the apprentice-level versions of the War Ancient Trees cultivated by Edgar.
There were also proper first-ring versions of the War Ancient Tree tree people cultivated by Edgar. These trees were first-ring magical plants at ten years old, vaporized magical plants at thirty years old, liquefied magical plants at fifty years old, and crystallized magical plants at one hundred years old.
Although the current planting time is too short and the scale of the Great Magic: Tree of All Things Returning to the Tree is insufficient in this world, the most powerful group of ancient war trees is currently only about thirty years old, that is, war trees in the vaporization stage, numbering approximately five hundred.
Edgar David’s Great Magic power system’s combat strength lies in this legion of tree people, not the warriors of the Elven Empire.
Those Elven Empire warriors are more like components of the Great Magic: Tree of All Things Returning to the Tree, rather than the true combat force of this system.
At this moment, the red spiders found themselves surrounded by the tree people. At the Elven Emperor’s command, countless ancient tree people hurled the most powerful attack spell model of the first ring—the War Spear—at the red spider swarm. In an instant, countless red spiders were annihilated by the War Spear.
These branches fell into the red spider swarm, instantly killing several red spiders. The War Spear branches immediately took root in the earth, and countless roots spread from the ground. These roots bound the red spider swarm both above and below ground, binding all types of red spiders and draining their life force.
Seeing this from the crystalline system in the sky, Locke immediately understood that Edgar David, after their last meeting, had enhanced the life energy absorption aspect of his Great Magic: Return of All Things to the Tree using spiritual energy techniques. Now, with him personally involved, even the life force of the Red Spider swarm was being forcibly plundered by the Great Magic: Return of All Things to the Tree.
A crystallized spider gave the order, instructing the swarm to use their speed and numbers to charge into the ranks of the ancient war tree treants, preventing the rain of war spears from hitting them. This way, the swarm would blend in with the treant army, allowing them to break through the Tree of All Things to the Tree treant army from within.
Edgar smirked.
His avatar, the Elf Emperor, chanted an incantation, and instantly, the roots of countless ancient war trees coiled around the swarm of insects. One by one, the insects were bound by the spell: Tree Roots Entangling Them. At the same time, Edgar unleashed the ultimate spell, “All Things Return to the Tree.” Streams
of life energy flowed towards the towering golden tree reaching into the clouds at the center of the Elf Empire’s capital.
The crystallized spider elite leader, whose compound eyes had undergone special modifications, could see that the life force of its entire insect army was being absorbed by that perfect tree, whether its swarm was on the surface or underground.
“Wizard—”
the spider elite leader uttered in the language of the insects to express its anger. The next moment, a war spear pierced its abdomen, and green blood flowed from its belly. The life force contained within this blood was also being absorbed by the perfect tree.
After receiving a large amount of life energy, the Perfect Tree blossomed, bore fruit, and dropped seeds. These seeds drifted on the wind, sprouting into various ancient trees in different places.
The Macedonian witch swept across the land and discovered that after Edgar’s arrival and his declaration of his intention to forge the Void Emperor, the “All Things Return to the Tree” attribute became even more pronounced. After the swarm of insects that invaded the Elven Empire was completely annihilated, their life force returned to the “All Things Return to the Tree,” causing the Perfect Tree to release pollen and seeds. In a short time, the land of the Creation Lotus was covered with saplings of ancient trees.
The Macedonian witch frowned. “You rascal. You take up too much space. You’re filling this world with your immense magic, squeezing out the future expansion space of our immense magic. Do you think you can solve the swarm and the creation problem?”
Edgar’s true form honestly replied, “Not yet. But if I can achieve pseudo-forging, I might be able to solve all the problems in this world.”
The Macedonian witch said, “I think you’re just wasting resources.”
“Forget it, I can’t be bothered with you. I still need to deepen my Rain Realm.”
Locke swept the earth and asked Edgar, “It seems you haven’t tried to construct the cycle of life and death.”
Edgar looked at Locke and nodded, saying, “I like to simplify problems rather than increase their complexity. Since I realized last time that establishing a cycle of life and death was not feasible, I simply abandoned that part of the death cycle. And to be honest, after careful research, I found that it’s impossible to complete the cycle of life and death I conceived before during the pseudo-forging and pseudo-forging stages, or even in the entire second ring stage.”
“That requires leaving the souls of all things within my ultimate magic.”
“Therefore, I combined spiritual energy studies to transform the ultimate magic, ‘All Things Return to the Tree,’ into a system where all spiritual energy returns to my ‘All Things Return to the Tree.’ My ultimate magic, ‘All Things Return to the Tree,’ has become a kind of ultimate magic that upgrades vitality. The treant legions are the storage place for vitality, while the mortals who signed contracts with the treant legions and shared their power are the source of enhanced vitality.”
“The life forms are the engine, and the treant legions are the storage.”
“All things in heaven and earth return to my ultimate magic, ‘All Things Return to the Tree,’ brimming with vitality, and all things flourish. This is my ultimate magic, ‘All Things Return to the Tree,’ at the nascent stage, a result of my combination of breeding science and botany.”
Locke nodded.
He understood Edgar’s current ultimate magic formula. After so much time apart, his ultimate magic was completely different from the lifeless ultimate magic he had created during the Silent Tournament due to the academy’s requirements. Edgar had combined spiritual energy studies, transforming it into a life-oriented ultimate magic.
The fifteen ancient trees each represented a different star ring spell model, and also represented fifteen basic magic runes.
The Beastmaster Tree, for example, manages the animals within the Tree of All Things.
The War Tree, on the other hand, primarily manages the mortal warriors within the Tree of All Things.
All the other ancient trees contribute to the Tree of All Things, dividing the entire Great Magic into a Life Group component and a Treant component.
It seems that by utilizing the Life Group’s ability to enhance its life force quality through advancement, the high-quality life force within these elven warriors, after their deaths, couldn’t leave with their reincarnations but remained within the Tree of Perfection. The Tree of Perfection, through some mechanism, then transmits this enhanced life force to the various ancient trees.
The ancient trees, in turn, share their power with mortals through Treant Contracts.
In this way, a positive cycle is formed between the fifteen ancient tree sequences and mortals, filling the entire Great Magic with vibrant life force.
“But this is only a virtual forging of the Tree of All Things,” said Wizard Edgar.
“I will now attempt to fake forge my Tree of All Things in this competition.”
At this moment, in the Azure Lotus World of Creation, the Elven Emperor, having won the war, did not stop but immediately issued orders, leading his various treant legions to attack the spider swarms on the ground. At the same time, he ordered his elven legions to attack other elven tribes, the first to be the elven groups under Wizard Patrick’s power system.
War broke out everywhere on the ground. On every battlefield, the Tree of All Things absorbed the life force of the enemy and stored it within the Ancient Tree Legion and the Perfect Tree. The Red Spider swarm was retreating steadily. When the life force of the swarm was instead plundered by the Tree of All Things, the numerical advantage was no longer an advantage.
Locke calculated the current attack and defense model and found that the current numerical advantage of the swarm still existed for the power systems of other contestants, but it was a joke for Edgar’s elven empire. Because of the existence of the Tree of All Things, Edgar David could absorb the life force of the dead swarms while his subjects fought against them.
In other words, Edgar David turned the war into a snowballing, escalating system.
For Edgar’s elven warriors, fighting was like leveling up, and the swarms of insects were like monsters that helped them level up. Their numerical advantage was no longer an advantage, but a disadvantage.
Edgar David’s ultimate spell, “Return of All Things to the Tree,” rendered the insect swarm tactic obsolete.
On the field, the second-ring wizards sitting in the stands were discussing Edgar’s “Return of All Things to the Tree,” some even creating a model and having their students distribute the data to other wizards. The discussion centered on Edgar David’s ultimate spell.
Meanwhile, the wizards throughout the Rainswamp were also pondering this ultimate spell.
Edgar David’s “Return of All Things to the Tree” was practically a universal solution to any insect swarm tactic. By turning the enemy’s deaths into something that leveled up their own side, numerical advantage became numerical disadvantage. To counter “Return of All Things to the Tree,” one couldn’t rely on quantity; one had to rely on quality.
On the viewing platform, a Star Ring Wizard was having an academic discussion with two other friends. “This ‘Returning All Things to the Tree’ is indeed a common solution in conventional interdimensional colonization wars when facing an enemy far outnumbering you. However, it’s incredibly difficult to implement. That wizard is amazing; is he also a wizard from Yunze Wetlands?”
“Yunze Wetlands is truly full of talent.”
“Just thinking about how to implement ‘Returning All Things to the Tree’ seems impossible. I used over three hundred spell models to try and reproduce even a third of the effect, and I still couldn’t do it, but he only used fifteen star ring spell models.”
“Impressive, truly impressive. However, I think to fight against this ‘Returning All Things to the Tree’ ultimate magic, you need to take a highly unified approach. Because when fighting against ‘Returning All Things to the Tree,’ your spiritual energy and magical pressure will be constantly drained. I think that ultimate magic with more dispersed power will likely be completely countered. For example, I think ‘Heavenly Rain’ would be countered by ‘Returning All Things to the Tree.’ Once ‘Heavenly Rain’ is used, it creates massive rainfall; against other ultimate magic, it would naturally be invincible, carrying immense power to create pressure.”
“But facing the immense magic, ‘All Things Return to the Tree,’ it’s disheartening,”
said one of his Star Ring wizard friends. “How can you boost the morale of the Cloud Marshland people while demoralizing your own? That Macedonian lady is quite formidable too.”
A Moon Ring wizard academy headmaster, having overheard their discussion, coughed, turned around, and looked at them.
“I am the headmaster of the Thorn Ankylosaurus Academy. May I join your discussion?”
The three Star Ring wizards quickly nodded, welcoming his guidance.
The Moon Ring Wizard Academy Dean said, “The Tree of All Things is indeed very effective against the current Void Swarm. However, there are two main reasons why the Void Swarm is so troublesome. First, the Void Swarm is mortal enemy of the three Protoss races. The swarm will attack any intelligent life. Civilization and intelligence are food for the swarm, but the swarm will prioritize attacking the Protoss armies.” “
The reason is currently unknown.”
“There has been a lot of research in this direction.”
“Second, it’s because the Void Swarm possesses extremely strong evolutionary adaptability, especially after the goddess Rose—after being tricked and swallowed by the Mother of Insects, the swarm gained the resources for evolution. Therefore, I fear that the current swarm will undergo a new round of evolution.” “
Therefore, I doubt whether the Tree of All Things can deal with the current swarm. Secondly, you are mistaken. The Great Magic: Heavenly Craftsmanship Rain is not an ordinary water magic, but a magic realm. That is to say, as time goes by, this magic realm will become more and more powerful, and its power concentration will be beyond imagination. I doubt whether the Tree of All Things can absorb it.”
The three Star Ring Wizards carefully considered the Moon Ring Wizard’s opinion.
The Star Ring Wizard who had offered the most opinions immediately realized that his model was flawed, leading to distorted conclusions. He quickly stood up and bowed, saying, “Thank you for your reminder, Headmaster of the Thorn Dragon Academy. You are right; it seems that the Heavenly Craftsmanship and Rainmaking Technique is not restrained by the Return of All Things to the Tree.”
The Moon Ring Wizard smiled and nodded. “It’s alright, you are all wizards with bright futures. We are simply exchanging ideas on equal footing. But that Wizard Edgar is indeed very impressive.”
“His ambitions are far from small.” “
I’m more curious about what ‘Pseudo-Forging of the Void Emperor’ is. He doesn’t want to follow the academic path, nor does he want to use the common pseudo-forging methods found in magic books—some kind of powerful magic that can change the course of a region. He wants to pseudo-forge an emperor. I wonder what that is.”
The Moon Ring Wizard looked curiously at the competition.
At this moment, the discussion about what the Void Emperor is and whether Edgar would become the final winner became the subject of heated discussion throughout the wizarding world.
On the judges’ panel, all five third-ring wizards had strange expressions.
They hadn’t expected that someone would forge such a high-level pseudo-forging in such a rudimentary competition.
The wizard Faust said, “I never expected that after all these years, I would still see someone attempting to forge the Emperor’s Path.”
“I’ve read ancient texts; the Emperor’s Path has a long and complex history, seemingly existing even before the Age of Stars. Emperors are usually forged through pseudo-forging. Only by forging a pseudo-Emperor can one truly begin on the Emperor’s Path. Beyond the Emperor, there are many more routes. However, I’ve heard that this path is extremely ominous.
I wonder where this young man obtained this magical inheritance?”
Dean Gray nodded, “Our Winged Dragon Academy’s library contains some resources on the Emperor’s Path, which require at least a third-circle wizard to access. A pseudo-forged Emperor is a type of pseudo-forging that leads directly to true forging. If he can truly forge an Emperor through pseudo-forging, then he will be much closer to true forging.” “
Moreover, during his fourth forging attempt, he will find it easier to forge a higher-level true forging.”
“This will make it easier for him to approach the third circle.”
“But what exactly is this Void Emperor? I’m not a breed expert, so I really don’t understand his thinking,”
Dean John chuckled. “I do understand. He probably wants to use the characteristics of Unforged to keep himself in a state of nothingness, so he can absorb the concepts of various Void Forging systems and have all the Void Forging systems help him with his pseudo-forging. The main methods he uses are Spirit Breath and his special personal cultivation method that utilizes the transformative effects of the Ancient Tree of Life.”
“I think he discovered the special characteristics of Unforged, so he wants to use the Unforged Empire to cleanse the various Spirit Breaths he has absorbed. Unforged has the ability to learn any Void Forging system, and he wants to take advantage of that. It’s not easy; very few Void Forging wizards can think of this.
Most Star Ring Wizards at the Void Forging stage would consider Unforged a lower state than Void Forging and therefore wouldn’t care about them.”
“Red Dragon Throne, what do you think of this Void Emperor’s idea?”
The Red Dragon Witch remained silent, only taking a sip of her wizard tea.
Dean John glanced at the Red Dragon Witch with surprise, unsure of her attitude. Was she angry because someone had overshadowed her student, or did she not think highly of Edgar, or simply didn’t want to deal with his question?
At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up, “Wizards who have read history books wouldn’t think that way.”
The four judges were taken aback, then stood up to greet the doppelganger of the third-ring wizard, Lady Candice, the Six-Eyed Raven.
Wizard John chuckled, “Old friend Candice, what brings you here? I never expected someone as busy as you to send an avatar to watch your student’s match.”
The Six-Eyed Raven [Lady Candice] nodded to the four, then bowed to Ekaterina, continuing, “After the Enlightenment, why did the strength of wizarding civilizations grow ever stronger, with the wizarding worlds of previous eras gradually falling short of those of the Enlightenment? That’s because the original, normal civilizations, at the first stage, underwent four consecutive qualitative changes before directly jumping to the second stage of ‘Virtual Forging.’ “
In other words, many civilizations in the endless void only reached the first stage to ‘Virtual Forging.’ “
But after the Enlightenment, the wizarding world discovered ‘Unforged’ before ‘Virtual Forging.’ The birth of ‘Unforged’ brought modern prosperity. Investment banking is ‘Unforged,’ and while education is ‘Virtual Forging,’ its ultimate goal is to cultivate more ‘Unforged’ wizards who, unable to directly become ‘Virtual Forging,’ aspire to change the world.”
“Unforged is a very special kind of forging,”
Wizard Gray continued. “It is extremely rare, extremely rare, but in the endless void, there aren’t many civilizations that have reached the first ring.”
“Most are just at the apprentice stage.”
“Most civilizations are like wizard apprentices; although they have the idea of improving themselves, they are not mature enough. But if they can reach the first ring, then they can be considered true adults.”
The headmaster of the Reptile Garden said, “Since Lady Candice is here, please take a seat. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the wizarding grounds of Rainswamp so lively. But it’s too early to talk about winning or losing. The swarm problem hasn’t been solved yet, and the fundamental problem of creation hasn’t been solved either.” “
Let us third-ring wizards see how things develop next. Whether Edgar can defeat the swarm is still unknown.”
The Six-Eyed Raven witch Candice took her seat and then smiled, “I have great faith in Edgar David.”
At this time, the Elven Kingdom of Patrick Wizard was conquered by the Elven warrior legion of the Elven Empire.
Above the crystal wall system, Wizard Patrick glared at Wizard Edgar David, trembling with rage. His lineage, passed down in this world of the Primordial Lotus, had been captured by Edgar’s elven empire.
“What do you want?”
“We’re all contestants, why are you attacking me?”
Edgar
David frowned, puzzled. “The strong prevail, I respect.”
“Besides, there are so many wizards here. Why didn’t I target someone else’s power system, but instead attacked you first? It’s because you, Chairman Patrick, as a Star Ring Wizard of the Swamp People Club, are the weakest wizard among us, besides that expendable Rose witch.”
Patrick gritted his teeth in anger.
Edgar David said, “But I’m not denying you a chance. If you allow your elven kingdom to join my elven empire now,
then I can allow your power system to survive.”
Patrick was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He thought Edgar would directly destroy his lineage in this world, but he hadn’t expected Edgar to give him a chance.
Just join?
Generally speaking, one Void Forging power system cannot accommodate another.
One Void Forging will devour another.
How to accept it?
Wizard Patrick could only say with trepidation, “Alright, I agree to join.”
In the world of the Creation Lotus, the young Elf King of the Elf Kingdom publicly announced that he would merge his entire country into the Elf Empire.
The Elf Emperor then instructed the young Elf King to leave his name on a leaf. In that instant, the Elf King established a connection with the Perfect Tree. But the next moment, the sky above his Perfect Tree surged with wind and clouds, and all the contestants and spectators witnessed this scene.
A powerful suction force acted through the Tree of Perfection on Wizard Patrick, thus affecting his immense magic.
Chairman Patrick’s expression changed drastically. When he had the elven king under his power system sign his name on the leaf, he had already conducted numerous calculations to ensure there would be no problems. If the king wanted to suddenly renege on the agreement or rebel, at most he would lose the elven king who signed the contract, and could immediately back out.
Chairman Patrick looked at the leaf.
“This—is your leaf bound by a demonic contract from hell?”
Wizard Edgar’s expression remained unchanged. “I just spent a little time studying the Hellish Contract and then incorporated the results into my ultimate magic. It works quite well.”
At this moment, Patrick said, “No, even if you use the Hellish Contract, you can’t possibly use your power system to absorb my power system.”
At this moment, Patrick’s ultimate magic, Rainbow Nursery, was forced to descend. A rainbow, like the heavens, was falling towards the prime material plane from the crystal wall system, and his ultimate magic was being incorporated into Edgar’s Perfect Tree system through the elven king. A virtual forging system
cannot directly accommodate another virtual forging system.
Unless, Edgar’s ultimate magic already has the characteristics of virtual forging!
At this moment, on the land of the Creation Lotus World, Edgar’s avatar, the Elven Emperor, said to the elven king, “I bestow upon you the title of Rainbow King.”
As his declaration fell, the Rainbow Nursery, which was resisting the powerful gravity of the Return of All Things to the Tree in the sky, fell directly from the sky, then completely descended into this world, and then landed in the elven kingdom.
Patrick was astonished to find that his consciousness had been forced to descend upon the earth along with a powerful magic spell, landing on the elven king.
King Patrick looked at the elven emperor with disbelief.
“How did you do this? All of this. You forced my consciousness and powerful magic to descend, you used your powerful magic to contain my powerful magic?”
Emperor Edgar smirked, then turned to his army and ordered, “Sell all the elves in those cities that refuse to surrender into slavery, as an example.”
“Rainbow King, you are now within my elven empire’s system. I hope you will work hard and use your wisdom to serve our empire.”
King Patrick looked at Edgar David with disbelief, unable to comprehend how Edgar had done it.
At this moment, he could only mutter, “These wizards of the Cloud Marsh Wetlands are truly monstrous.”
Immediately, Emperor Edgar led his army to surround the elven tribe of another wizard, the tribe of the wizard Ramses.
On the crystal wall system, the wizard Ramses shook his head with a wry smile.
“It seems I have no choice but to surrender?”
Edgar nodded. “My elven empire is currently the most powerful, and now, with the addition of Patrick’s Rainbow Nursery, your ultimate magic is no match for us. If you don’t want to be destroyed, you’d better join my elven empire.”
The wizard Ramses had no choice but to agree.
He glanced at Edgar with apprehension.
At that moment, within the World of Creation Lotus, he manipulated his elven king to sign the agreement, and the next instant, his ultimate magic, [Dragon-Riding Flute], was also forcibly pulled into the World of Creation Lotus.
Ramses’ expression darkened upon seeing this.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have just unleashed my ultimate magic directly. Is Edgar trying to force all of our wizarding ultimate magic into this world, one by one, and then use his ultimate magic to control all of our ultimate magic? If he actually succeeds, he might truly be able to forge a fake version of himself.” “
I didn’t expect there to be such a method. But how exactly did he do it?”
“How did he manage to control our ultimate magic? How did he force our ultimate magic to descend into this world?”
In this way, the ultimate magic of the wizard Ramses was also incorporated into the Tree of All Things.
At this moment, the ultimate magic on the earth, Tree of All Things, became increasingly powerful because it had successively absorbed the ultimate magic of two genius wizards from the Star Ring. The total amount of spiritual energy within the entire system continued to increase, and the height of the Perfect Tree Treant grew taller and taller, as if it could connect heaven and earth.
It even grew into the crystal wall system.
And the roots of the Perfect Tree also penetrated deep into the cave.
The entire world, everything, seemed to be returning to Edgar David’s ultimate magic, Tree of All Things.
The insect swarms across the world were receding like a tide, as Edgar David’s powerful “Return to the Tree” spell directly replaced the weakened world and suppressed the insects.
The surviving elves, after the insect plague subsided, began to rebuild their nations, but these nations were quickly conquered by the elven empire. All resistance fighters were sold into slavery, and the elven empire became a complex slave-owning empire.
Ten years later, the remaining insect swarms on the land were suddenly absorbed by Edgar into the immense magic “Return to the Tree.”
Patrick and Ramses were utterly bewildered; they hadn’t expected Edgar David’s immense magic to incorporate the insect swarms.
The insect swarms hadn’t signed any contract with the elven empire.
Meanwhile, in the stands of the arena, the witch Bailouluo asked her brother, the Maupassant family’s Ex the Moon Ring Wizard, “Brother, what do you think is going on?”
Ex also looked confused and shook his head slightly. “I don’t know.”
“I underestimated Edgar David before.”
“I can’t understand his actions either.”
At this moment, many wizards still couldn’t understand what Edgar David had done, managing to incorporate a series of ultimate spells and a swarm of void insects into his ultimate spell.
Meanwhile, in the arena, Locke’s true form walked on the crystal wall system. He glanced at Edgar David and roughly understood what method Edgar had used.
It was Spiritual Breathing.
The ultimate spell, Return to the Tree of All Things, inherently possessed the special ability to absorb all things, but the combination of Spiritual Breathing and the Ancient Tree of Life enhanced this ultimate spell’s ability in this aspect. Of course, Edgar David’s level in Spiritual Breathing was definitely not bad, otherwise he couldn’t have done this.
The ultimate spells of the two Star Ring wizards fell into this world because their spiritual breath was captured, and thus Return to the Tree of All Things captured them into its system through the spiritual breath.
Locke glanced at the anxious Ramses and Patrick, fearing that as time passed, the spiritual energy within their two great spells would continuously flow into the Tree of All Things. Initially, their great spells could maintain a certain degree of independence, but as time went on and the spiritual energy increasingly flowed towards the Tree of Perfection, their great spells would become more and more like an appendage.
The spiritual energy was like currency within the Tree of Perfection system.
As long as the Tree of Perfection controls the largest amount of spiritual energy, it can render Ramses and Patrick, the two wizards waiting for their chance, helpless.
The swarm was captured and brought into the Tree of All Things because the Treant Legion and Edgar’s Elven Warrior Legion killed too many swarms in the past ten years, causing their spiritual energy to flow into the Tree of All Things. When the amount of spiritual energy flowing in reaches a certain level, the entire swarm will be incorporated into his ultimate magic without needing a contract.
It seems Edgar really wants to try pseudo-forging in this world. The Macedonian witch and I are obviously both trying pseudo-forging, but Edgar’s chosen pseudo-forging, the Void Emperor, requires him to accommodate as much pseudo-forging stage ultimate magic as possible within his ultimate magic. My proposed pseudo-forging, however, requires time. Let
‘s leave Edgar aside for now.”
Locke focused all his attention on his Ranger, who was trying to lead the pseudo-forging in the jungle and setting up his plans there.
At this moment, Edgar looked at Locke and the Macedonian witch, then began searching for the true form of the Insect Mother.
“Without a contract, even if they join my ultimate magic, ‘Return of All Things to the Tree,’ I can’t directly control or suppress them. To transform my ultimate magic, ‘Return of All Things to the Tree,’ into the Void Emperor here, I need to absorb more Void Forging.”
“Not too many. At least fifteen.”
Edgar calculated, by adjusting the fifteen ancient tree runes of his ultimate magic, that he needed fifteen sequences leading to the Star Ring. These fifteen sequences, contained and controlled by him in the Unforged Elf Empire, would create a genuine situation of Unforged controlling Void Forging, thus transforming his ultimate magic into the Void Emperor.
This was something he had figured out after being stimulated in the Blackwater World.
Because it was too radical, he hadn’t dared to do it, but since this competition could reset everything, he dared to try the pseudo-forging of the Void Emperor in this world.
Neither Edgar David’s main body nor his avatars on the ground found the Mother of Insects.
Although Edgar David led his army to wipe out almost all the insect swarms on the surface, he could always find some undiscovered insect nests in the underground world. Therefore, Edgar David was very worried that a huge insect swarm was being bred in the underground world, but it was being kept hidden because his great magic was currently in full swing.
“I can’t pinpoint the location of the last stronghold of those insect swarms for the time being.”
Edgar the Elf Emperor led the treants. “My treants have begun to show signs of crystallization. As my system continues to develop, there will soon be second-ring stage treants. As long as I can successfully forge the Void Emperor, I will have a legion of treants at the Star Ring stage. If that day comes, perhaps I can completely solve the creation problem of the Insect Mother and this world. I don’t know, but let’s forge the Void Emperor first.”
“If I want to forge the Void Emperor, then I must have no rivals in heaven or on earth. At this moment, my enemies and competitors have all been subdued. Only two people are still outside my empire.”
Edgar’s true form stood outside the crystal wall system, looking at Locke and the Macedonian witch.
“Gentlemen, everyone has already entered my Pseudo-Forging Void Emperor system. Let this competition move to the next stage. Why don’t you also enter my empire and compete fairly within my Pseudo-Forging Void Emperor system?”
“Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll have to lead my army to attack your power systems.”
Locke laughed, “Edgar, you can try.”
The Macedonian witch looked at Edgar and said, “Go ahead and send your army from this world to attack my power system. I’ll make sure your laughable empire never returns. Edgar, I’ll say it again, your Elven Empire and your Void Emperor are utterly ridiculous. Your power system is easy to expand because it’s simple, and now you’re even absorbing other people’s Void Forging to try and achieve your Pseudo-Forging.”
“That’s impossible.”
“Secondly, your power system is fundamentally incapable of solving the creation problem. You seize most of the resources first, then try to force others to submit to you due to a lack of resources. This approach might work in other situations, but in the context of the creation problem, it’s destined to prevent you from solving it.”
The Macedonian witch looked at the wizard Edgar and said, “In fact, if we let you act freely, you’ll end up possessing the vast majority of resources, yet unable to solve the creation problem, rendering all our efforts futile and hindering my efforts to solve it.” “
Therefore, I must eliminate you before your Void Emperor consumes too many of this world’s resources.”
Edgar David pondered for a moment, then immediately decided to attack the Macedonian witch first.
There were two reasons for this.
First, the Macedonian witch clearly harbored hostility towards him.
Second, Locke and he had a long-standing friendship, having shared life-and-death experiences together; he felt somewhat embarrassed to attack him first.
The wizard Edgar looked at Locke’s true form and tentatively asked, “If I were to wage a full-scale war against the Macedonian Lady’s power system, I wonder if you, Locke, would participate?”
Locke replied, “I’m currently busy with the pseudo-forging.”
Edgar immediately became spirited and said to the Macedonian witch, “Macedonian Lady, then I can only subdue you first, and then attack Locke, forcing you to unleash all your great magic within my elven empire to help me complete the pseudo-forging of life magic—the Void Emperor.”
The Macedonian witch said, “That Insect Mother has obtained the power of the Goddess Rose. She hasn’t used that power yet. I advise you to be careful. Right now, you’re temporarily suppressing the Insectoids, but once you weaken, the swarm will return. You will die a terrible death. And that’s what I want to see. Because you take up too much space; you occupy all the resources, yet your potential is so low.”
