Chapter 1111 The Role of False Forging – Small Leather in Breeding Methods!
Chaos looked fearlessly at the Moon Ring Witch from the Starfield Sea. Their eyes met; Chaos’s gaze was full of provocation, while the Moon Ring Witch’s was full of contempt.
Nearby, the wizarding academy heads from the Rain Swamp whispered amongst themselves.
“Chaos, I’ve heard of him. He seems to be a creator god of a great world who, in order to create a better world, stopped creating and constantly reincarnated in other great worlds, hoping to create a better world before returning to his original world to create. But I heard that, for some reason, our origin wizard invited this creator god here, or something else, anyway, this creator god came. But I can’t guarantee this news is true. It seems this young wizard is the wizard Chaos, that’s truly remarkable.”

“Yes, I heard that the competition along the Tianjiang River has gathered more than one-fifth of the most powerful wizarding geniuses from the Eastern Boundary. If our Rain Swamp’s super project hadn’t been nearing completion, we probably would have gone too. Golden Crown Mountain has gained the upper hand in the entire competition, which is quite remarkable considering their foresight.”
At this moment, the Moon Ring Witch from the Starfield Sea overheard the discussions of the wizards from Rain Swamp and understood Chaos’s identity. “So he’s a reincarnation of a high-ring creature from another great world.”
The witch slightly toned down her arrogance and became more polite.
“You’ve come from afar, and I should welcome you. But this is the dying wish of the Holy Angel Wizard, the Origin Wizard. You should leave now and stop this ridiculous competition. The Holy Angel Wizard saved us from the flood; without him, you wizards would have to kowtow and serve the Wizard Lords, becoming their slaves for the meager magical reward. How can you forget your roots?”
Chaos said. “I have no memories of my past life, and I only recently heard of the so-called creator god from another world. That creator god may indeed be great, but I am who I am. I am Chaos of the Wizarding World. If I die, the one I reincarnate will not be me. I know this very well. Therefore, we should only discuss matters within the Wizarding World. This witch, I hope you understand that the wizarding community of the Seven Mountains—the Wizarding Land—was the first to support the White Wizard Association. Without the Seven Mountains, we wizards would still be subject to the rule of the Wizard Lords led by the Starry Sea, and anyone with a bit of talent would be forced to take the Crimson Potion!”
“Everyone must be ruled and suppressed by the bloodline of the Wizarding Lord!”
Jinx frowned. She hadn’t expected this situation. First, she faced direct accusations from Probus’s former students, and then the White Wizarding Association of the Seven Mountains Wizarding Lands suddenly came to Probus’s defense. How much money had Probus given the Seven Mountains Wizarding Lands?
Was it a lot of magic stones?
Otherwise, why would they help Probus?
Jinx knew it was unlikely the competition would stop now. It had already created many vested interests. Originally, she could have used the Sacred Relic to force the White Wizarding Association to accept the order to stop the competition, but after this incident in the Seven Mountains Wizarding Lands, that idea was impossible.
At this moment, her teacher’s and elder’s privacy was being displayed on the illusion screen of the competition. If she didn’t stop the competition, wouldn’t her teacher’s privacy be exposed to all the wizards of the Eastern Frontier?
Jinx the Witch coldly glanced at Chaos. “I don’t know how much money Mount Golden Crown gave you, but I hope you understand that money can only be spent if you’re alive. You’ve offended my teacher, which means you’ve offended a powerful figure. With your background, it’s probably not enough.”
Chaos nodded, saying, “Then I’ll wait. Probus and Mount Golden Crown didn’t give me any money.”
Jinx the Witch clearly didn’t believe him, scoffing as if he were talking about something absurd.
Jinx the Witch had no choice but to sit down again, and Chaos the Wizard also returned to his original seat.
Meanwhile, Blood Dragon Throne, as the vice-president of the local White Wizarding Association, received a mysterious phone call and left, seemingly arguing with someone.
At this moment, the wizarding spectators felt increasingly complicated about the competition, wondering who the wizard who had suddenly contacted Blood Dragon Throne was, and what the outcome of the competition would be.
A Moon Ring Wizard whispered to his friend, “Watching this competition was definitely worth my time.”
“It was truly worthwhile,” his friend replied. “Not only did we see so many excellent competitors, but we also witnessed a scandal involving High Ring Wizards from sixty years ago, learned the truth about the S-class experimental accident, and saw such an interesting power struggle right now.”
His friend continued, “Now I really don’t know where this competition will lead. I seem unable to predict the outcome, either inside or outside the arena. Leaving aside the complex power struggles outside, I originally thought these wizard competitors wouldn’t be able to solve this creation mystery that no one has been able to solve for millennia. But not only that, there are those who attempted to forge a fake Emperor, and now there are those who are trying to forge a fake Universal Truth. I feel like nothing is impossible in this competition.”
“I really don’t know how the final outcome of the competition will be. Let’s focus on the competition for now. Right now, Locke Augustine has the biggest advantage, while the other wizards are not in good condition. Even with Mr. Locke Augustine’s help, Edgar can’t return to his peak condition. So, what will happen next?”
In the world of the Creation Lotus, Locke’s avatar returned to the jungle and began to attempt further pseudo-forging of the Lesser Leather. In this world, he also raised his magical pressure to the Moon Ring level. In fact, not only him, but all the other wizard contestants were preparing to do the same.
“Edgar’s Great Magic spread throughout the world, the Macedonian witch dug into the depths of the world, Haishan’s intentions are unknown, and Ramses and Patrick have temporarily formed an alliance with Edgar.”
Locke analyzed the changes in the factions within the competition.
“The reason I didn’t let Edgar’s ultimate magic collapse, besides helping my friend, is for one major reason: if the ultimate magic, ‘All Things Return to the Tree,’ collapses, the Macedonian witch’s ultimate magic, ‘Head of the Rain Witches,’ will instantly complete the massive water cycle of the three realms.”
“She will immediately become a Moon Ring Wizard.”
“Then any advantage I’ve gained will vanish in that instant.”
“Therefore, I cannot let Edgar fail.”
Locke knew that the Macedonian witch had this plan the moment his avatar was destroyed; she was waiting for the collapse of ‘All Things Return to the Tree.
‘ “Now, I have the ability to destroy the ultimate magic of any wizard present, but I might also get bogged down in it. That’s not how you use an advantage. Soon, these wizards’ ultimate magic will either spread throughout the world or be excavated deep within it. Only my ultimate magic is focused on people.” Therefore, there’s no conflict of resources. At this moment, I’ll seize the advantage and concentrate on spreading the results of my pseudo-forging to my power system.
The pseudo-forging is not yet complete; only the framework is in place.
He wanted to spread the fake forging to the forest rangers, completely turning the illusion into reality, and making it a phenomenon within the world of the Creation Lotus.
“In fact, mountains, rivers, lightning, and thunder are all pseudo-forgings.”
Locke finally understood what pseudo-forging meant. “Even a stone is a pseudo-forging. These natural substances and phenomena are all pseudo-forgings, and there are different levels within pseudo-forgings. When we wizards pseudo-forge a great magic, then our great magic will officially become a substance or phenomenon in the natural world.”
“The difference is that these mountains, rivers, and plants are complete pseudo-forgings that have been finished for a long time, while the pseudo-forgings that we wizards have just completed are not only unfinished products, but also inherently limited and have many problems. Moreover, they need to be forged for a long time before they can become something that people are accustomed to for a while, but they may break down at any time over time.
These mountains, rivers, and plants, individually they are pseudo-forgings, but their whole is likely to be true forging, and therefore they are not easy to break down.”
“This is the difference between man-made products and natural creations.”
Locke’s avatar sat on a rock in the jungle and continued to speak. He not only attracted forest rangers, but also accepted the people of the Empire and the Rain Realm, emphasizing education for all without discrimination or factionalism.
At this time, within the World of Creation Lotus, for some unknown reason, many elves naturally rejected Fake Forged Leather, while others naturally favored it, resulting in mixed opinions.
Many elves were attacking the Ranger’s Way, centered around Fake Forged Leather, without cause.
Locke learned of this through the Rangers’ feedback, but he said nothing, continuing to sit on a rock in the jungle, explaining the new Ranger’s Way every day.
Locke addressed a Ranger Master, saying, “From today onward, the gates of the jungle are wide open. In ten days, I will demonstrate the principles of Minor Leather that I have gleaned from my understanding of breeding and botany. Furthermore, I will showcase the False Forging Minor Leather to the entire world, raising the overall magical pressure of our world and ushering in a true golden age for the Creation Lotus World.”
The Ranger Master bowed to Locke, saying, “Teacher, however, there are many in this world who question our Ranger Way, slander us as demonic, or believe us to be charlatans. These people may not be willing to come. These people are beyond redemption.”
Locke replied, “You are mistaken, Master Rein. Most beings in this world are inclined towards goodness and improvement. Many of these people will certainly be willing to come and learn about the Ranger Way. And even those who question our Way, their current doubts do not guarantee future doubts; their current hostility does not guarantee future hostility.”
“A person’s life is very long.”
Locke had learned through the competition committee responsible for maintaining order and the Deer Witch that Probus’s former student, who had caused such a great disaster, had returned to testify for Probus.
“Probus, you were really wrong.”
Locke sighed. “Some people aren’t unwilling to strive for improvement and goodness; they simply lack direction and methods. Even if they knew the methods and direction, they wouldn’t know if perseverance would be effective. Their ignorance or evil deeds aren’t due to self-abandonment, but rather to a lack of direction, leading them astray in the darkness. These people are different from those evil individuals who lower themselves to pursue form and power, exchanging their material level for immediate gain.” “
We established schools and spread the Way of the Forest Ranger largely for these people.”
“These people may seem evil now, but they are merely lost. They will come to listen. You must know that a few curses and misunderstandings are not true harm; these people will one day see the error of their ways. I once met a man who did something unforgivable to anyone, someone considered irredeemably evil. But today, I saw him step forward and do something righteous that most people wouldn’t do.”
“This shows that one cannot simply label someone as incorrigible just because they have committed an evil act at this moment.
Perhaps one day they will see the error of their ways. Therefore, those who insult my Ranger system are not my enemies, because they may become my students in the future.”
Locke’s avatar said to Master Renn, “Those who do not understand this will surely go astray. The world is vast, and there are many who do not understand. We can only correct ourselves, ensure that we do not go astray, and achieve unity of knowledge and action. Then, over time, others who do not understand will gradually come to know us.” “
In the end, there are far too many people in this world who are ambiguous. These people all claim that their own power system is correct. That is why I must pass on my Ranger way, in order to defend against the impending great calamity.”
The Ranger Master looked at Locke strangely.
“Teacher, you shot down ten suns, accumulating unparalleled fame. You yourself said that throughout the world, no one is your enemy, and within the Three Realms, no one is your match. So why do you still feel there is a great calamity? If it is a calamity that even you cannot handle, how terrible must it be?”
“Could you have mercy on us and tell us the truth about that calamity directly? We can take precautions in advance and nip it in the bud! Is that calamity caused by humans, magical creatures, or a sudden change in the weather?”
Locke shook his head. “At this moment, that calamity is still a full three thousand years away. It is useless for me to tell you, and it is useless for you to think about it. Rein, do your best and leave the rest to fate. Do your own thing, and I hope you can learn the principles of the Lesser Revolution from nature.”
Locke’s hand brushed against a flower, and instantly it bloomed.
“Raine, three thousand years is but a fleeting moment for me, but for you, it is indeed a distant and unknowable distance. Therefore, you don’t need to worry like I do. You only need to be yourself and seek the truths you need from nature.” “
I hope that every Ranger understands Little Leather, and becomes Little Leather, so that my Great Magic – Tree of Prosperity can truly be considered complete.”
“In fact, minor changes are far more enduring and occur more frequently than major ones. People don’t understand this. I will complete my minor change here through pseudo-forging, so that it can truly appear in our world.”
Master Renn bowed again and said, “But teacher, will the emperors of the Rain Realm and the Empire stand idly by while we hold such a jungle gathering? They might try to sabotage and stop us.”
Locke said, “Don’t worry. My pseudo-forged minor change will benefit them, who are all seriously injured right now. My pseudo-forged minor change will spread to the power systems of all of them. That is the true meaning of minor change. With my achievements in the field of breeding, the two emperors’ injuries will heal more quickly, so they will definitely not try to sabotage us.”
Master Renn then bowed again, still worried about the great calamity Locke mentioned three thousand years later, and left to prepare for the jungle gathering.
Locke sat on a rock, pondering, “This is the tragedy of those who have too far-sighted a vision.”
“The golden age hasn’t even arrived, yet I can foresee the great calamity that will follow—the creation problem. Not only me, but other wizards probably feel the same way. However, for the creatures of this world, the swarm has been wiped out, so this world should usher in a new life. What follows will be a great era for these elves.”
“They need not worry; they can simply enjoy this wonderful world. But as a seeker of truth, I should foresee future disasters. At this moment, I am spreading the Ranger system to address
that creation problem that will occur about three thousand years after this golden age.”
Ten days later, the jungle was filled with elves from all over. They came from diverse backgrounds, but all were eager to learn about the Ranger system of this sun-shooting hero, renowned throughout the world. They all wanted to gain some benefit from understanding the Ranger system.
Meanwhile, wizard spectators watched this scene.
On the judges’ panel, the Red Dragon Throne couldn’t help but sneer, criticizing his student.
“This kid is far too cunning. He actually intends to use this competition to demonstrate to the many wizards in the wizarding world the pseudo-forging he discovered and constructed through breeding. The better the pseudo-forging, the more wizards he can attract to join, and the more people understand and join, the faster the forging of a pseudo-forging can be accelerated.” “
That’s what so-called man-made objects are.”
“My student wants to use this competition to get the world’s people to help him complete his pseudo-forging.”
“I’m afraid other contestants will follow suit.”
The three academy deans from Rainswamp smiled, but were still a little jealous. After all, this would continuously raise the level of such competitions, making them want their own academies to have such a competition.
John, the headmaster of the Root Crown Court, stroked his beard and said, “Actually, this kid is about to complete two pseudo-forgings in this competition. One is this competition, and the other is his pseudo-forging, Little Leather. Little Leather may have a greater potential in the future, but for now, the most valuable thing is this Probus Truth Unveiling Competition platform. With this competition, we can definitely cultivate some Moon Ring Wizards who rely on this competition.
Your Majesty, your student has the demeanor of a Third Ring Wizard; he is a sharer.”
“Have you applied for special talent treatment for him?”
In the Genesis Lotus World, the jungle was filled with people, some sitting in the trees, some in the jungle. These elves were either richly dressed or dressed plainly, some were citizens of the Empire, some were from the Rain Realm, some were Dragon Masters, and some were Earth Alchemists.
Locke’s avatar looked around and found that many old friends had come.
But Haishan was nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, the elves who came here had different identities, different stances, and different interests, but they came to the depths of the forest, to stand before him, for only one thing: to ask him what “False Forging – Minor Leather” meant. At this time, besides himself and Haishan, all the other wizards in the Creation Lotus World were severely injured and in poor condition.
In the chaotic battles of the previous competition, most wizards were in very bad shape.
Locke waved his hand, and instantly the goddess Rose appeared. She immediately wanted to leave, but a massive magical tree of prosperity appeared behind Locke. The peach tree, shrouded in lightning, continued to grow upwards, blocking Rose’s path wherever she went.
Rose gritted her teeth, looking at Locke on the ground. “What do you want to do? You want to persuade me to give up this body? That’s impossible.”
Rose released the radiance of her Netherworld divine power, resisting the magic emanating from the Tree of Prosperity.
The elves gazed upon the powerful goddess with awe. Wherever her divine power touched, tranquility and peace prevailed, like a secluded orchid in a secluded valley. The elves had never seen such a powerful being. The wizards’ avatars, however, observed coldly, knowing that even with Rose’s power, she could not escape the limitations of the Tree of Prosperity’s treants.
Locke sat on the rock, raised his hand, and instantly the Tree of Prosperity rose from the ground, as if looking down from the vast void. A branch of the Tree of Prosperity transformed into a treant’s hand, descending from the sky like a meteorite. Rose looked up in horror at the treant’s hand.
Edgar’s avatar’s eyes flickered. “Locke’s Tree of Prosperity Treant is almost as powerful as my Tree of Perfection Treant. But my Tree of Perfection Treant gains unparalleled melee combat ability by gathering the spiritual energy and vitality of all living beings through the return of all things to the tree. So where does the Tree of Prosperity get its energy and resources?”
At this moment, Goddess Rose clasped her hands together in a gesture of surrender. Facing the treant’s palm about to strike her, she felt immense magical pressure throughout her body. She quickly said, “I understand. I will stay here and listen to your explanation of False Forging – Little Leather.”
Instantly, the Tree of Prosperity Treant’s enormous treant palm seemed to pass through her body and the ground like a phantom.
Goddess Rose and the surrounding elves were all shaken by this sudden change.
The wizard Edgar’s avatar looked solemn. Strange, my Tree of Perfection Treant could easily do the same level of attack just now. I could have easily adjusted the spell structure. It’s just that I was more used to using the spell model: Life Piercing Strike, for the enemy. “But the attack from the Tree of Prosperity was clearly launched just now. I could understand if it had been stopped or withdrawn, but why did it suddenly turn from real to illusory? Is this the power of False Forge Little Leather?”
I have a pretty good understanding of Little Leather, but what exactly is Little Leather, and what kind of power does it have?
Not only Edgar, but the other wizards were also quite surprised by this behavior. They all looked at Edgar to observe his reaction. After all, Edgar is currently the most proficient and has studied tree-manology the most in-depth among all the wizards, so they did not know if Edgar could do this kind of magic.
Edgar knew that while treant magic was powerful, it was also complex to control. To achieve the effortless magical attack he had just witnessed was incredibly difficult.
Locke sat on the rock, surveying the crowd. “Everyone, you’ve all come. Now, I will demonstrate to you and all those watching me the power of my False Forge: Little Leather. Although seeking my true intentions through appearances will not reveal my true purpose, there are far too many deceitful people in this world. I must demonstrate the unique achievements of my ultimate magic: Tree of Prosperity in breeding, so you can understand why False Forge: Little Leather is a universally true False Forge.”
Patrick inquired, “Isn’t the function of False Forge: Little Leather to perform ultimate magic that reduces everything to nothing? We all saw it. The Tree of All Things, which was on the verge of collapse, was cleaved back to its initial state by your ultimate magic: Tree of Prosperity. And False Forge: Little Leather can nullify the effects of botanical magic enchantments on magical plants.”
“I’ve always felt that, Mr. Augustine, the magic you study seems to be particularly effective against us fellow practitioners,”
Locke said. “That’s an illusion.”
Locke continued, “That’s only two sides of the Great Magic: Tree of Prosperity, but my Great Magic: Tree of Prosperity has an even more powerful aspect.”
Everyone looked at Locke expectantly, whether they were the contestants or the wizard spectators outside the arena. Even the elves, though they didn’t understand much, were still very interested.
The goddess Rose seemed very angry; she didn’t understand why Locke was forcibly keeping her here.
At this moment, a huge Tree of Prosperity rose behind Locke, and in Locke’s hand was a Star Ring Magic Plant:
the Variegated Star Bellflower.
This magic plant was traded by Locke to Edgar. The Variegated Star Bellflower is a magic plant of the genus Bellflower in the bellflower family. Its roots are solid and its stems are solid, hence the name bellflower. At the same time, its appearance resembles a bell, so many magic plants in the genus Bellflower are called bellflowers.
The Variegated Star Bellflower, a magical plant belonging to the genus *Platycodon*, possesses roots with several energy-locking structures, making them incredibly resilient. This allows it to be used in conjunction with various botanical spells to unleash the power of its *Platycodon* roots.
However, the Variegated Star Bellflower is a fire-attribute magical plant with a unique energy-locking structure in its [Bell-shaped Stamen] and its fuzzy epidermis. The Bell-shaped Stamen can release special sound waves, while the fuzzy epidermis creates unique spots on the plant’s surface, which can contain special single-attribute magical energy.
The combination of these two elements allows the Variegated Star Bellflower, as a magical plant of the *Platycodon* genus, to summon flames upon enemies by ringing its bells.
However, the wizard contestants shook their heads as they looked at the Variegated Star Bellflower in Locke’s hand.
Edgar explained to everyone, “As you can see, the mystical meaning of this bellflower is only the common level of ‘Tranquility.’ Bellflowers of the Platycodon genus are magical plants that influence matter through sound. This mystical meaning is not only common, but it also essentially renders this precious bellflower useless.”
“Platycodon genus magical plants are extremely rare, few in number, but each one is incredibly powerful, making them difficult to obtain.
Yet, I encountered a breeder with only mediocre skills who created this level of Variegated Star Bellflower. When I encountered it, out of regret, I spent five million magic stones to acquire it. Only after buying it and collecting it did I realize it’s truly useless.”
“Lock said he had a way to cultivate it again, thus slightly saving this bellflower, so I gave it to Locke,”
said Wizard Patrick. “How can you save and repair a cultivated variety that has already been cultivated?”
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something. Could it be—
the violet-colored, variegated star bellflower in Locke’s hand automatically floated in mid-air, contained within an invisible energy bubble. Then, a bolt of lightning from the Tree of Prosperity struck the bellflower, like a hammer striking an anvil. The magical collision caused sparks to fly out. A
huge surge of magical pressure, like a surging wave on the sea, swept towards everyone present.
Everyone present felt an immense pressure, their bodies seemingly deforming and stretching in the collision of these two different magical pressures.
Locke chanted a spell, and with a wave of his hand, another bolt of lightning struck down from a peach branch of the Tree of Prosperity. The bellflowers collided with the lightning once more, the bellflowers ringing incessantly, while the lightning itself was deafeningly loud. This was the ultimate meditation technique, “Reducing to Emptiness,” amplified by immense magic; wherever the lightning passed, everything vanished.
Many elves covered their ears.
The ranger masters present used natural breathing techniques to merge with nature.
The wizards in the Rain Marsh also heard the clash of magical pressure from the lightning and the bellflowers. Many wizards similarly covered their ears in discomfort, while wealthier wizards donned special protective magical artifacts. Some business-minded wizards even started selling protective artifacts on the spot.
“What does Mr. Augustine intend to do?”
“Mr. Augustine already possesses the grandeur of a master breeder; many of the spells he uses cannot be found even in public libraries.”
“Wait, could it be that Locke intends to refine the magical pressure of that poorly trained breeder—like forging useless impurities from an iron block during blacksmithing?”
Within the Ranger’s Jungle of the Creation Lotus World, Locke flicked his finger, and instantly the third bolt of mental lightning struck.
A strange magical pressure emanated from the bellflower.
Immediately afterward, the fourth bolt of mental lightning struck.
Edgar and Macedon seemed to sense something.
Both of their avatars stood up.
Patrick and Ramses looked at the two in confusion.
Edgar’s avatar widened his eyes. “No way, if it were just a powerful ultimate spell, or some special way of reducing something to nothing, I wouldn’t be convinced. But if it’s this special breeding method—”
The Macedonian witch immediately understood what had happened.
“Jade must be carved to become a vessel, and iron must be forged to become steel. Everyone is a raw stone, but each has different characteristics. ‘False Forging – Minor Leather’ is like a hammer striking iron and stone. You’ve actually taken this to the extreme. The foundation of your Great Magic – Tree of Prosperity is the Three-in-One Hybrid Cultivation Method? Yes, that’s a cultivation method favored by other realms.” “
The Three-in-One Hybrid Cultivation Method, Yin and Yang in harmony, what is its origin and what is its transformation. It uses two magical plants for hybridization, while the cultivator’s own spiritual energy is integrated, thus creating a spiritual interaction among the three. This cultivation method maximizes the mutation possibilities of the hybrid cultivation method based on the user’s talent, personality, and direction of magical research, and provides direction for the mutation.”
“You reversed the Three-in-One Cultivation Method, causing a spiritual connection between yourself, the Great Magic Tree of Prosperity, and that magical plant. This allowed the Subtractive Power to act on that magical plant like a hammer. Thus, what was impossible in the eyes of wizards became possible. That is to
change the mystical meaning of the cultivated variety that has already been cultivated.”
The Macedonian witch felt immense pressure; the False Forge Little Leather had actually reached such a miraculous level.
The plant essence is a modified type of magical plant, so the False Forging – Minor Leather technique is ineffective against it. However, its mystical meaning largely concerns the flow and direction of spiritual energy, which can be altered.
The Great Magic – Tree of Prosperity is likely rare in the wizarding world, allowing for the modification of the mystical meaning of a cultivated magical plant whose cultivar has already been successfully cultivated.
At this moment, the Heavenly Lightning struck the eleventh time against the variegated starbell flower, this time completely forging the breeder’s magical pressure and spirituality from within the flower. Then, a bolt of lightning shattered it completely, reducing it to nothingness.
Locke smiled and said, “An unfinished gem, if it encounters the wrong person, the wrong master, can easily diminish its potential and ceiling. At this moment, it should empty itself to restore its upper limit; that would be truly good.” “
The original method of emptying oneself only involves tidying up one’s chaotic form and conditioning the mind and body; its utilization rate is still too low. Today, I will use the Three-in-One Hybrid Cultivation Method as the core, guided by life magic, and based on the pursuit of truth, to create the ‘False Forging Minor Leather,’ to reform the forms of the world.”
“The bad must be removed, the good must be affirmed. Affirmation and questioning are the beginning of progress and change.”
“Affirm first, then question; affirm the good, question the bad. This is to empty the world.”
As the last bolt of lightning struck the bellflower, magical fluctuations flowed across its surface, and the mystical meaning of the bellflower changed.
The wizards present, who had come in avatars to listen to the lecture, sensed the magical plant and immediately realized that its mystical meaning had advanced from the ordinary level to the excellent level. This
was utterly unheard of and unseen.
Edgar, Macedon, Patrick, and Ramses exchanged glances.
From the garden-like structure of the Ten Kings Bottle, capable of cultivating advanced mystical meanings, to the False Forged Leather, everything was something they had never heard of or seen before.
The wizard audience was also dumbfounded.
Since becoming first-ring wizards, they had often heard high-ring wizards say that once a magical plant had been cultivated with mystical meaning, it was difficult to change. But today—this advice was completely outdated.
Everyone now knew that in the Cloud Marsh Wetlands, on Golden Crown Mountain, there was a young wizard who possessed the magic to modify mystical meanings.
Locke paused for a moment. Even for him, modifying the mystical meaning of a magical plant was far from easy. He had already exhausted his magical pressure three times, only recovering it three times by receiving a large portion of magical pressure from the Genesis Lotus World. Even so, his spiritual awareness had already decreased to a certain extent.
Locke shook the bellflower, and everyone looked at it curiously, because the bellflower made no sound. But at the same time, flames suddenly burst into flames in the sky.
Locke said, “The mystical meaning of the Spectral Star Bellflower has changed from [Tranquility] to [Silent Voice].”
“This magical plant will not produce any sound when any magic is used, but the sound wave energy corresponding to the sound will still be there.”
After a brief moment of shock, the wizard contestants present and the wizard spectators watching outside quickly reacted, and applause rose and fell. All the doubts from years ago vanished like snow melting away.
Even though it’s only in its first creation, the power of the Pseudo-Forged Minor Leather shouldn’t be underestimated.
Locke then stood up and said, “The Great Magic Tree of Prosperity can restore Great Magic, especially the botany and breeding aspects, to its original state. It can also influence the flow of mysticism in a magical plant, removing the original breeder’s magical pressure and changing the flow of mysticism. Although Pseudo-Forged Minor Leather is newly created, it’s still too weak at the moment. Therefore, it can’t achieve my original goal of removing the mystic meaning. I can only make some repairs and barely modify it to create a passable mystic meaning based on the original meaning.”
Repairing and patching is not as good as starting over.
Locke said, “But it’s enough.”
“Everyone, this kind of transformation is a natural phenomenon. The earliest Andean pineapple was the earliest pineapple-type magical plant; it was just an ordinary herbaceous magical plant. Later, as mountains rose and the weather became arid, this magical plant transformed itself to adapt to the environmental changes. This is the origin of the earliest pineapples with leaf cup structures. Then, as the weather became even drier, and their environment approached the desert, the leaf cup structure pineapple evolved again, becoming an air plant that directly abandons soil, with its roots degenerating and using scale leaves to absorb moisture from the air.”
“Among them, some leaf cup structure pineapples came to places with more livestock and humans. They transformed themselves, merging many inflorescences, thus forming a syncarp, a fruit with hundreds of flowers combined—that is the pineapple. From then on, pineapple-type magical plants formed four major subcategories—the pineapple subcategory, the air plant subcategory, the leaf cup pineapple subcategory, and the rarest primitive pineapple subcategory.”
“If plants and trees remain unchanged, their numbers will gradually decrease, leading to their elimination. Only through constant self-renewal and continuous change can their numbers increase and lead to prosperity. The same applies to humans. By constantly transforming ourselves, we bring renewal to all things daily, thus improving ourselves and making the world a better place.”
“The reason why Emperor Edgar’s attempts to change the elven empire were futile, no matter how he altered his commands, was, I believe, because all reforms must be based on humanity.” “
Great changes may alter the environment, the system, and even the heavens and earth, but if people don’t change, the same mistakes will repeat themselves. The heavens and earth may change, the mountains and rivers may change, but if people don’t change, it’s all in vain. Therefore, I created the Small Revolution, calling on everyone to constantly reinvent themselves. When people change, everything else will naturally improve.”
“All systems and ideologies will ultimately be destroyed and distorted by those who pursue form. Therefore, I created the Small Revolution to target these people who are seemingly right but are actually wrong. If the system is wrong but the people are right, then the system will be corrected. If the system is right but the people are wrong, then the system will be distorted and twisted. The Small Revolution does not require earth-shattering changes like the Great Revolution, but it is more difficult and harder to persist in, and it is equally important. We must strive for daily improvement, and again daily improvement.”
“If plants don’t change, all things will wither; if people’s hearts don’t change, the world will decline, and industries will decay. This is not something a prophet would do,”
Locke said. “I will pass on this spell to you. Because I know that the threshold for creating emptiness is extremely high, the Tree of Life is not something ordinary people can easily obtain, and my magical attainments in the School of Life are not something others can replicate. The early stages of ‘Fake Forging – Small Leather’ require a guide, otherwise it is extremely easy to go astray. To obtain Small Leather, the threshold is also high. Therefore, I pass on this magic, so that everyone can recite this spell in the future, summoning my Great Magic – Tree of Prosperity, to unleash lightning and cleave your forms.”
“This is ‘shorting the world’!”
“And in the act of ‘shorting’ you, my Great Magic – Tree of Prosperity will obtain the vast amounts of abandoned forms within you. I will use the Reverse Refining Magic Potion to transform them into Zero Magic Potion, which will then nourish my Great Magic itself. I declare that from today onwards, the Creation Lotus World will continue to prosper, lasting at least four thousand years!” The
pupils of many wizard contestants and wizard spectators all shrank.
Because they had already predicted that after the Creation Lotus World eliminated the insect swarm, it would enjoy three thousand years of extreme prosperity. So where did that extra thousand years come from?
Also, so that’s how the magical energy of the Great Magic Tree of Prosperity came about.
By helping people across the world short-sell assets, they gain energy from their flawed practices. Yes, short-selling itself is meaningful.
Short-selling can identify inferior assets one by one, and in the process, generate huge sums of money.
Locke’s immense magic—its ferocity—has caused many wizards to ponder deeply; he is trying to spur the world on!
