Chapter 1158

Chapter 1134 I am breeding science itself!

In the Cloud Marsh Wetlands, Thomas Lyssen’s avatar appeared in the Rose Town of the Rose Council.

He stood in front of a flower shop, waiting for someone, and casually bought some Peach Snow Mountain Roses. The champagne-colored roses looked warm and soft, like a snow-capped mountain covered in peach blossoms, appearing to have been exquisitely cultivated.

The wizard Thomas casually took out a vase, then a pair of scissors, and cut open the twenty S-grade, one-ring magical plants, Peach Snow Mountain Roses. The flower language master in the florist’s expression changed slightly upon seeing this, because those twenty Peach Snow Mountain Roses were worth 2 million magic stones, a top-tier bouquet. If arranged by a flower language master, they could become a fine magical bouquet, useful in various occasions. He had initially thought the

old wizard before him was a flower language master, otherwise why would he directly buy such expensive single magical rose plants? However, judging from the other party’s technique, he was clearly a novice, extremely clumsy. The opponent’s technique was so poor that it was simply a waste of the plants.

The flower language master immediately dissuaded him, “Wait, wizard, your method is wrong. The flower’s stem does need to be cut, but you must avoid blunt force. Blunt force will damage the vascular bundles of the cut flower, causing it to die quickly. You must use sharp scissors to cut at an angle; this is common sense.”

“Oh dear, why are you using ordinary scissors? Handling cut flowers requires special scissors and specialized training. Flower language may seem like just a branch of breeders, but over time, many different industry standards have developed.”

“Stranger, your operation is truly improper, ruining good things. “

The flower language master recognized the old man as an excellent breeder.

The old wizard looked up, glancing at the flower language master with surprise. “Don’t worry about whether my movements are proper or improper.”

“Because I am breeder itself.”

“Every action I take sets a new standard for flower language.”

The second-ring flower language master from the Rose Council was dumbfounded. He saw the old man place twenty Peach Snow Mountain branches in a vase. Not only were the twenty Peach Snow Mountain branches completely undamaged, but they also emitted a faint magical glow like snow-capped mountains. The temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and his impatience subsided a third in the face of this bouquet of Peach Snow Mountain.

How could this be? Without training, how could a flower language master quickly master the ability to create bouquets and form flower meanings?

The second-ring flower language master, Jack Hawthorne, took a half-step back.

Who was this person?

Who could so arrogantly claim to be the very essence of breeding science? Who could so quickly master the core abilities of a flower language master?

A second person entered the garden. This person walked into the flower shop, then smirked. It was none other than the Rose Throne. She wore a wizard’s robe woven from patterns of a hundred kinds of roses, like a fairy of a hundred flowers. On her left shoulder, however, was embroidered a single Hundred Demon Rose. The rose is the queen of flowers in the Rosa genus.

The Hundred Demon Rose is the symbol of this generation’s Rose Throne.

“Professor Thomas Lyssen, you are one of the wizards who define the truth of breeding science, so please don’t frighten this poor disciple.”

“You’ve finally arrived. I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”

“Jack Hawthorne, you’ve made great progress recently; I can feel it from these magical bouquets you’ve created. That’s good. Basic skills are still necessary for us wizards, but for some wizards, their very existence is the discipline of breeding science. They can break the rules, because those who forge ahead always like to break the old order.”

Thomas Lyssen’s avatar smiled. “Anna, I feel like you’re targeting me.”

“Never mind.”

“I need you to advance to the fourth ring as soon as possible and join my lineage to support it.”

Thomas Lyssen said, “In the vast battlefield of the Starfield Sea, in this wider world, I need more assistance. I’m vying with a worthy breeder for the right to define breeding science.”

The Rose Throne’s expression was solemn, for this was a topic worthy of serious consideration.

A smile appeared on Thomas Lyssen’s face. “Let’s not talk about such serious things. Let’s talk about something lighter. Anna, your flower language is very different from mysticism. It utilizes the relationship between rose-like magical plants and humans and magical creatures, and uses the large amount of enchanted spell models secreted by rose-like magical plants to influence the spiritual energy within living beings. Thus, through the relationship between humans and flowers, a temporary mystical meaning is formed—that’s the flower language.” “

However, because this special mystical meaning is relatively short-lived and fragile, without solving this problem, this discipline will never become a secondary discipline. This is the upper limit of development even in the theoretical stage.”

“Leaving aside other things…”

“A wizard with this line of thinking is indeed worthy of respect.”

“A wizard who hasn’t studied the science of spirit energy to a certain extent would certainly not realize that there are many spells in the enchanting school’s spell model that can affect the changes and states of spirit energy, let alone realize the special nature of rose-type magical plants.”

The Rose Throne said, “Teacher is absolutely right. However, this is not my discovery, but the discovery of a fourth-ring wizard from the Rose Council.” “

In the process of evolution, rose-type magical plants are extremely dependent on the help of intelligent beings. In this process, they spontaneously formed spells that secrete a large amount of enchanting school-like natural magical structure components. Therefore, among plants, rose-type magical plants are the most special.” “

In order to obtain the help of intelligent beings, the flowers evolved by rose-type magical plants will involuntarily want to help the intelligent beings living nearby. This is the theoretical foundation of the language of flowers. That’s a good article. If Teacher is interested, I will have my students print it out for you, or even get the original for you.”

Thomas Lysen noticed the Rose Throne’s extreme enthusiasm for him. “Forget about the original. What we value is knowledge; what does it matter if it’s original or not?”

In the laboratory of the Saffron Peach Garden, Trajan had already left.

Locke saw two second-ring wizards and three star-ring wizards standing before him.

Among them was an old acquaintance, the former leader of Group Six, Celtic Group Leader.

There was also a second-ring wizard he had met when he participated in the special grant defense at the Institute of True Knowledge. He didn’t recognize the other three, but they were probably all members of the Catherine witch lineage.

Celtic Wizard raised his hand to greet Locke. “Locke, cough cough, I was dismissed from my previous job because I didn’t meet the requirements of Mount Golden Crown for a long time, so His Majesty the Throne sent me to work for you. By the way—”

Celtic Wizard picked up the clock in his hand and said, “You’re late again. Three minutes and one second late.”

“When we first met, you were only a few seconds late. Now you’re a full three minutes late. But—that’s a privilege of the Moon Ring Archmage, isn’t it?”

Locke and the Celtic wizard exchanged a glance. Locke recalled his first meeting with the Celtic leader, when he had just entered Golden Crown Mountain and left the Six Towers Land of Wizards.

A faint smile appeared on Locke’s face, and upon seeing Locke’s smile, the Celtic wizard immediately smiled even more relaxed and sincerely.

Locke nodded to the Celtic wizard and said, “Celtic leader, I trust your abilities. So, has Group Six been replaced?”

The Celtic wizard was somewhat embarrassed. “I’m no longer a leader. I couldn’t stay in Golden Crown Mountain anymore. Fortunately, the Throne gave me one last option. She thought that if I worked for you, you might be able to keep me.”

“Group Six is now managed by a Star Ring Wizard.”

Locke nodded.

“In my heart, you will always be my team leader, Mr. Celt. After all, I received your help when I first entered Golden Crown Mountain.”

The other four wizards, who were unaware of the specific relationship between Locke and Celt, suddenly realized what was going on after hearing their words. They immediately resolved not to offend Wizard Celt, otherwise they would find it difficult to work under Locke in the future.

The second-ring wizard who had participated in the special grant extended his hand to Locke and said, “Wizard Locke, I wonder if you still remember me? I am Wizard Gordon.”

“My teacher asked me to come and help you.”

“My teacher said that you could guide me in the field of breeding.”

Locke nodded slightly to him. “Let’s improve together.”

Then the remaining three Star Ring wizards introduced themselves. They were Lix,

West, and Wood. Locke sensed the magical pressure emanating from them and found that they were all Star Ring wizards with a magical pressure of over 25,000, and they were all under thirty years old. In other words, this should be the most outstanding group of Star Ring wizards in the Catherine witch lineage.

This was likely why Catherine the Witch had entrusted these people to him.

West the Wizard seemed to be the leader of this small group of three. He proactively extended his hand to shake Locke’s, his eyes filled with admiration, yet also with pride and confidence.

“Hello, Wizard Locke. I’ve long admired your reputation, but it’s a real pity I’ve never met you. I am West Mario, and I work in the Golden Crown Mountain’s academic system. I am also a student of Catherine the Witch. This is Lix Mario, my cousin; we are cousins.”

“This is Mr. Wood, a good friend of the two of us, and also in the Golden Crown Mountain’s academic system. From now on, the three of us will follow you.”

Wood and Lix extended their hands, warmly shaking hands with Locke.

Locke quickly compiled information on the five people. The Celtic Wizard was an old acquaintance; he must have been on the verge of leaving Golden Crown Mountain, but the teacher believed he had the advantage of familiarity and thus placed him in his group.

Gordon, a wizard, is pursuing the True Knowledge Institute route, clearly indicating his teacher intends for him to stay. Therefore, he needs projects to apply for higher-level grants.

He faces pressure to complete projects.

The Mario brothers and Wood form a small group, obviously considered by their teacher among the Star Ring wizards—besides students like Zeno and a few other top students—they are currently the most talented, belonging to the second tier. However, their teacher intends to have this second tier of Star Ring wizards help him, while also allowing him to improve these three’s abilities, strengthening the next generation of wizards in their institute.

The teaching evaluation at Mount Golden Crown seems very rigorous.

There appear to be annual requirements, and failure to meet them consistently could lead to reassignment or even dismissal.

Therefore, these three are deeply committed to achieving results.

Locke nodded and said to the five, “Currently, our group needs to tackle two projects. The first is the Pure Magic Plant Wizard Robe. The second is the Sky-Facing Red Pepper.”

The five wizards looked surprised.

Because these two projects sounded so complex and difficult, let alone two, they couldn’t even manage one.

The Celtic wizard asked Locke, “Group Leader Augustine, each of these projects is far more difficult than the research our original Group Six was doing. Our Group Six only does research that, with effort, is bound to produce something. But these two projects seem to exceed the level of ordinary research; it seems that failing to complete either one would be a bottomless pit yielding nothing.

” “They sound really difficult,”

Locke said, quite pleased that the Celtic wizard addressed him as “Group Leader.” His words clearly showed that the wizard had adopted the right attitude and helped him establish his position within the research group.

Locke replied, “They are difficult. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have undertaken them.”

“Although difficult, I still hope to produce results as soon as possible. I want to complete these two projects within the group this year.”

Upon hearing this, even the Celtic wizards, who had initially only mentioned the difficulty but were actually just trying to pave the way for Locke, were dumbfounded. Gordon, the wizard, widened his eyes, his heart skipping a beat. He had just received a first-class grant and was fortunate enough to be selected to join Locke Augustine’s research group. Was Mr. Augustine really going to tackle such difficult problems right off the bat?

Two of them, no less!

Meanwhile, the Mario brothers, who had been waiting and observing, exchanged a glance. If this could be accomplished, just how advanced would Locke Augustine’s magical research be?

The Mario brothers and Wood the wizard were also momentarily skeptical, hesitant to fully believe it, thinking that Locke might simply be painting a rosy picture of the future for them.

Locke took out pre-printed materials and distributed them to the wizards, saying, “You can take these materials back and read them carefully.”

“I’ll give you three days to read all the materials, and then we’ll begin our formal work.”

The

Mario brothers and Wood took the materials, and the three of them quickly read through the two sets of documents together. From the materials, they could discern Locke’s ambition and his desire for the two markets. Once completed, they could enter the wizard robe market and take a further step in the wizard shoe market.

Locke said, “Right now, restoring the Heavenly Red Pepper is the priority. For many reasons, as you may have heard, we need to deal with the pressure from the Rose School.”

Wizard West Mario nodded and said, “Yes, the Rose School puts a lot of pressure on us. The research direction of my previous research group was also squeezed by the Rose School, which led to the bankruptcy of that research group and the reorganization of our research group.”

West said, “Previously, our research group mainly focused on discovering the compound toxins of nightshade magical plants. It was originally a field with little competition, but since the Rose School’s malicious intervention in the competition, the cost of the laboratory has been getting higher and higher. This has led to—”

Locke nodded and said, “Well, many research groups were already doing their work rather poorly. As soon as outsiders enter this field to compete, they will immediately be unable to continue. But in the end, this is just because they already had problems, and external factors have only accelerated the process.”

Locke thought for a moment and judged, “Most of the research groups that will disband due to the pressure from the Rose School are those that already have huge problems, but they didn’t show these problems before because there was no competition.”

Wizard West blushed slightly.

Wizard Lix was quite dissatisfied, but hesitated, unable to say anything.

Wizard Lix couldn’t help but argue. “Lord Augustine, our research group hasn’t even gotten on track yet. At the moment when we need funding most, we’ve encountered an attack from an enemy academic faction. You—”

West coughed, giving Lix a warning look to stop him from arguing further.

He shook his head slightly.

Lix could only bow to Locke. “I apologize, Lord Augustine, I forgot I’m one of your team members

. “

“Then everything must start afresh.”

Wizard West looked at the documents in his hand, frowned slightly, and then said to Locke, “Lord Locke, we will read the documents as soon as possible. Do you have any further requests?”

Locke looked at Wizard West with appreciation. Faced with what could be considered a very difficult request, although he could tell West didn’t quite agree, he was still willing to do it, which already demonstrated his professionalism.

Locke had just openly and frankly assessed the problems within the current academic lineage. He knew that while his assessment was objective, it might trigger sensitivities in others, such as suspicions that he harbored ill will towards him. However, his purpose in speaking out was to convey a message to these five individuals:

his style.

He managed the team with high transparency, expecting them to produce results.

There were no ulterior motives or favoritism involved.

Furthermore, Locke believed his assessment was quite objective. Most of the wizards in the Red Dragon lineage, currently struggling due to the Rose lineage’s influence, inherently possessed significant problems.

Blaming external factors was easy, painless, and readily accepted, but it made it difficult to uncover the true internal causes.

Locke knew these five were a team assigned to him by the witch Catherine, different from the previous investigation team.

The investigation team was, at best, a temporary group.

This research group, comprised of these five wizards, would become a relatively stable team for him in the medium term. In other words, he needed to consider how to build a strong team around them. Moreover, given the time constraints and the presence of external enemies, he also needed to consider how to accelerate team integration.

Therefore, a highly transparent management style—saying whatever comes to mind and prioritizing the final outcome—would be preferable.

Maintaining so-called friendships with these individuals and forming internal factions would conflict with his interests and be inconsistent with his style.

Factionalism is something only incompetent and unambitious managers would engage in.

Currently, the wizards in his group each have their own goals, and he needs to find common ground and establish a shared objective for the team to function effectively; otherwise, they will only be a burden.

The investigation team is completely obedient to his commands. Initially, because they were all low-ring wizards, and the two star-ring wizards weren’t entirely under his control, they formed a group centered around him after encountering dark wizards and facing danger in Despair Valley, working together towards a common goal.

However, the investigation team is like a battlefield, while his research group is in the rear. Therefore, even if decisions are flawed or some members disobey him, the consequences are unlikely to be immediate. Moreover, the biggest problem with basic research is the difficulty in ensuring these wizards maintain their output through external pressure.

The reason is simple: one can’t simply kill, punish, or expel someone for incompetence.

Since this team was given to him by his teacher, his personnel authority isn’t entirely complete. Therefore,

managing this team effectively tests his leadership skills.

At this moment, Lix, the younger brother of the Mario brothers, whispered to Wizard Wood, “These two projects are too difficult, and there are two of them, not just one. We need to get them started soon; isn’t that a bit too hasty?” Wizard Wood responded in a

low voice, albeit more tactfully. “I don’t think I can handle it. Let’s worry about that for now and just do as Team Leader Locke asks. We’ll follow the team leader’s instructions for now.”

As a second-circle wizard, Gordon found the data overwhelming, as if countless stars were before his eyes.

He had never dealt with such a complex project before.

The Celtic wizard was flipping through the reference book in his hands very carefully, but he was doing so somewhat mechanically. Locke could tell from his reading speed that he probably didn’t understand it and was just repeatedly flipping through the information, because no matter how many words were on a page, his reading speed was the same.

Celtic wizards were already highly skilled at appearing serious about their work.

Locke told the five, “After reviewing the materials, each of you will choose a project and write me a proposal. Remember, not a reading reflection, but rather your supplements to my research methods after reviewing the materials. I have great confidence in your abilities and hope you can write a good proposal.” The

five immediately felt the pressure. Locke didn’t want them to quickly get started after reviewing the materials; he also required each of them to write a proposal.

However, while they felt the pressure, they also sensed Locke’s trust in their abilities, and thus, they began to work with renewed enthusiasm.

Locke scanned the laboratory. This 500-acre magical field area was the experimental land specially granted to his research group by the witch Catherine.

In a region like Golden Crown Mountain where land is extremely valuable, the number of acres of magical fields has always been a problem. With these 500 acres of high-quality magical fields, this problem was obviously solved.

The magical fields here were of very high quality, suitable for planting second-circle magical plants without any problems, even without the need for additional nutrient soil.

Locke decided to move the magical plants from his makeshift laboratory in his dormitory to this area today.

Locke said to the five, “I have other things to take care of. Where is my office?”

The Celtic wizard immediately replied, “Team Leader Augustine, yes, this laboratory has a three-story common building. There are many rooms inside. But I’ve already reserved the largest, best-lit office for you.”

“I’ll take you there.”

The four wizards watched Celtic and Locke’s departing figures with complicated expressions. The

Gordon wizard smiled wryly, “You three are a small group. Mr. Celtic and Team Leader Locke are on good terms. Turns out, I’m the only orphan in the group.” No, I don’t seem to need to worry about that. The team leader seems to only care about producing results. He doesn’t care about anything else. “

He didn’t even ask me how many years I’ve been at the Institute of Truth,”

said West, the eldest of the Mario brothers. “Now I’m just worried he’s too focused on results. The group leader’s two goals are just too big and too urgent. I don’t know if they can be achieved.”

“But it’s alright, the group leader is a very capable wizard. It’s fine to have high ambitions, we can always change course. Our research group isn’t big, small boats are easy to turn around,”

Wood Wizard suddenly said. “But I have a terrible suspicion, what if the group leader is serious, and he really can do it?”

At this, the four of them fell silent.

At this moment, Lix, the second of the Mario brothers, picked up the documents with a wry smile. “Don’t joke around.

The group leader can do it, but we can’t.”

“Wood, do you have that ability?”

In the office, Locke sat in his chair, he breathed a sigh of relief, “I never thought that one day I would be sitting in this position on Mount Golden Crown.”

“To become a core figure in a research group.”

When Locke looked up, he saw a Dark Lord’s Power Gem on his desk.

The gem was as black as jade, like a piece of graphite.

Locke was stunned. “Was it that the Throne Lord who accepted the bet?”

“Plus, the Light Power Gem sent from the Starfield Sea after the competition, and the small set of Power Gems I got from the research institute, I think I’ve collected a complete set of Power Gems.”

Locke placed ten Power Gems in front of him.

The ten Power Gems resonated with each other, floating in mid-air, exuding a powerful energy.

Locke waved his hand, interrupting the energy evolution, and the ten gems fell back into his Astral Ring. “With ten Power Gems, I can accelerate the evolution of the Three-Hole World. However, I remember that a complete set of Power Gems can raise a world’s level by one, directly upgrading it to a Great World.”

Locke’s brow twitched.

So, by collecting just one acceleration treasure that could accelerate the growth of a Three-Hole World from a medium-sized world to a medium-to-large-sized world, he could use the complete set of Power Gems to upgrade the Three-Hole World to a Great World. Just

thinking about this made Locke’s heart leap with excitement.

Great worlds are extremely scarce, representing a considerable fortune even for a third-ring wizard. The contenders are either third-ring wizards or veteran sun-ring wizards. In rare cases, through sheer luck and without anyone noticing, an ordinary sun-ring wizard might manage to monopolize a great world.

Generally, lower-ring wizards will trade their worlds to higher-ring wizards.

Developing a world can often bankrupt a wizard, and the larger the world, the greater the investment required in the early and mid-game to utilize it effectively.

Douglas is currently helping him oversee the mining of spirit essence in the three-hole world.

He’s already considered a wizard with relatively abundant resources; if he encountered a poorer wizard, developing a three-hole world alone would be enough to bankrupt them.

Locke’s expression shifted slightly. “If I could have a large world beforehand, that would be ideal. Even if I couldn’t develop it initially, I could develop it slowly. The Three Cave Worlds are closely integrated with my half-body; I’m practically half-born from one of the Three Cave Worlds. If the Three Cave Worlds grow into a large world, although the total magic pressure will instantly expand, causing me to lose absolute control over that large world,” “

as long as the Ranger system spreads quickly, I don’t think it will be a big problem. So, recently I need to pay attention to those treasures that can accelerate the world’s level upgrade. It would be too wasteful to use the complete set of Power Gems only to accelerate the Three Cave Worlds to a medium-to-large scale. After all, this is something I won in a bet with a Throne Wizard.”

Locke still couldn’t believe that he now possessed a complete set of Power Gems, something many wizards in the Wizarding World couldn’t collect.

“It feels like it was delivered to me. No, no, no, I can’t think like that. Winning a bet with the Throne of Good and Evil is a low-probability event.”

Locke sensed something was wrong. “Wait a minute. Only a wizard who lacks confidence in me would consider this a low-probability event. But based on my own confidence at the time, I thought winning the bet against the Throne of Good and Evil was a high-probability event. And the reward from the Eastern Frontier Tournament Committee just happens to be the last of the Power Gems I’m missing.”   ”

On the other hand, the small set from the research institute should be fine.”

The small set is quite common. Appian of the Golden Dynasty has one.   ”Never mind. These high-ring wizards’ schemes are all incredibly deep, and thinking about it too much is pointless. Besides, I might just be overthinking.”   Locke sat in his office chair, opened a spellbook containing many blue potion recipes. Currently, he could only concoct blue potions. His   next goal was gold potions.

Locke closed the spellbook, then took out the jade slip given to him by the Sea Queen. “It’s time to resolve the problems of the Mountain Guest World.”

Locke vanished from his spot.

The next moment, he appeared above a white cloud, with lightning flashing overhead. Streaks of crimson lightning enveloped Locke’s head; the situation here was now even worse. If before the Mountain Guest World had at least a place to breathe, now it was filled with the plane’s principles of the newly established land.

The Mountain Guest World was like a fish out of its pond, only able to survive in the intermittent water droplets on the muddy ground.

At this moment, the Mountain Guest World was only the size of an ordinary ginseng, clearly indicating that the newly established land had absorbed a significant amount of its plane’s principles.

Upon seeing Locke, the Mountain Guest World was initially incredulous, then burst into tears of joy. “Locke, you’ve finally arrived. Help! I’m about to be devoured by Gangdingdi. Gangdingdi is now completely a god of the Persepolis gods!”

Gangdingdi, clad in cold armor, walked through the sky. “Shut up, Shanchuanke.”

“I will soon ascend to the upper realm as a god of war, becoming a supreme god. How dare you lower gods obstruct my path?”

Shanchuanke suddenly realized something and said to Locke, “Locke, hmm? How did you become a Moon Ring Wizard? No, that’s not the point. I’m completely captured by Gangdingdi now; he just can’t devour me yet. He’s set a trap for you.”

The next moment, six majestic avatars descended from the sky, their enormous figures enveloping Locke, and immense demonic pressure pressed down on him.

Gangdingdi laughed loudly. “Wizard, we’ve been lying in ambush here for a long time. These are dimensional avatars I created using the dimensional principles of the Sea King’s world. Each avatar was once a complete Persepolis god, capable of summoning their past power.”

The King of Steel, the King of Flame, the King of Ice, the King of Starlight, the King of the Continent, and the King of the Sea appeared around Locke, surrounding him from six angles.

The King of Steel was covered in cold armor, but his aura was even colder than his armor. He seemed like a life form born from an iron mountain, devoid of any emotion or warmth. The cold armor even enveloped his limbs, making them look like angular steel shields. The King of

Flame was engulfed in burning flames, from which countless abundant divine powers flowed.

The King of Ice seemed to have been born from the heart of a glacier, and the King of Starlight appeared as if starlight had fallen from the sky, his entire body radiant and incomparably holy.

The King of the Continent and the King of the Sea were enormous, like colossal giants, pressing towards Locke from afar.

Locke realized that the dimensional principles of the Sea King’s world were actually connected to these six avatars. This seemed to be a special technique used by the gods to utilize the dimensional principles. The entire dimensional principles of the world were completely controlled by the gods, their power squeezed out to provide power for these six avatars.

Gangdingdi, the God of War, had stolen the world’s power, essentially using the world itself to create six avatars, which allowed them to reach the Star Ring limit.

Gangdingdi himself was currently at the Moon Ring level of magical pressure, seemingly even stronger than when they last met.

He appeared to be able to utilize his Moon Ring level magical pressure to some extent.

It could only be said that the power system of the Persepolis gods was indeed not just for show. Gangdingdi knew he would return sooner or later, so he used such a bizarre method of utilizing the dimensional principles to create divine avatars, setting up an ambush for him.

If he were still at his previous level, he would definitely suffer a great loss upon returning to this world.

Even if he could defeat these gods, he would risk serious injury.

If they were to unleash even more hidden tricks, they might truly perish here.

Locke, his left hand behind his back, had already dealt with several civilizations in the endless void, but only a few divine races posed the greatest challenge.

There wasn’t a significant difference in civilization between the divine and wizarding systems.

At least, based on his current understanding, there wasn’t much of a gap at this stage.

The Persepolis gods’ unique method of utilizing the principles of planes was indeed impressive.

The God of War laughed heartily, directly unleashing a sweep of the world’s fortune. He absorbed the energy of countless warriors, making Gangding much stronger now. In Locke’s absence, he had continuously exploited all living beings and constantly modified his own martial arts, ultimately allowing these warriors to cultivate powerful blood and energy, but they couldn’t utilize it, resulting in short lifespans and numerous weaknesses that could be easily devoured.

Therefore, even if he couldn’t sweep away the world’s fortune and ascend, he could still absorb a large amount of fortune from the world’s warriors.

As Gangdingdi absorbed the fortune of a large number of martial artists, his now distorted, black mist-like body was also devouring the Sea King World itself. Or rather, it was precisely because he was absorbing the world itself that he could use the principles of planes to create the six divine plane avatars.

Locke believed that the biggest reason why wizards hadn’t researched this technology was because it was highly dependent on the Persepolis gods’ ability to devour the world’s core.

At this moment, Gangdingdi grinned maliciously at Locke: “Wizard. We’ve been waiting for you here for a long time. Now, I’ll devour you to strengthen my own body. In that instant, I can instantly devour all the fortune of the Sea King World and Shanchuanke, right? And perhaps I can even obtain the special ability you inexplicably used to manipulate the principles of planes in the Sea King World last time. Hahaha, that would be perfect.” Shanchuanke

‘s eyes were bloodshot, and he covered his head with his ginseng whiskers. “How did things turn out like this?”

“How did I manage to make such a

mess of the Sea King World?” Locke, with his left hand behind his back and head bowed, said, “Gangdingdi, as a potion master, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out a solution to this world’s problems. My teacher said this wasn’t a problem a potion master could solve, but as a potion master, I naturally wasn’t willing to give up so easily.”

“Here is a test paper that my teacher, Sea Queen, gave me.” “

And this is my answer. Gangdingdi, you are no longer worthy to be the ancestral god of the Sea King World.”

“Shanchuanke is not worthy either.”

“None of you are worthy, so—let me temporarily take care of the Sea King World.”

Locke used the reverse potion refining technique, using the blue potion, the Heavenly Origin Lord Transformation Potion. In an instant—he transformed into the Heavenly Origin Lord, and then the plane’s laws of the Sea King World underwent a drastic change.
