Chapter 816: Rudiment!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Amid the dazzling light, a blue planet was undergoing a tremendous change. Merlin looked at the galaxy, staring at the blue planet below the starry skies. He felt a bond with it as if it were his very own child.

No, it was perhaps a bond even more intimate than that between a child and parent. In the Glorious Land, Merlin had also left his offspring but that could never be compared to a planet, and the Illusory Tribe Civilization that he had and oh-so meticulously created with his own sweat and blood.

This could be Merlin’s hope for the future!

“This is the world of my dreams!”

Merlin abruptly opened his eyes, and his consciousness left the Mind Heart. At this moment, he felt the rate of fusion of the Mind Heart and the Illusory World had been greatly accelerated, and soon, the two were completely fused. Merlin had gained complete control over the Illusory World.

The World of Illusory now was entirely under Merlin’s control; putting it to use at its fullest extent, even a Lord would lose themselves in the Illusory World. If Merlin so wished, he was fully capable of Mind Controlling Lord-level existences. Except for the ultimate existence, as of right now, there was no other force that could pose a threat to Merlin.

“Rumble.”

At that moment, sounds of rumbling akin to thunder sounded across the Void Zone. An intangible force of pressure shrouded Merlin’s body, affecting even the surrounding areas.

“What’s going on?”

Merlin had no idea what had happened.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”

At that moment, the Mother Tree, Augustus, Ceci, Roman, the Avian Monarch, Chronos, the ultimate existences, and others seemed to have sensed something, and instantly appeared by Merlin’s side.

“Wizard Merlin, what’s going on? How could such amount of the power of the natural order had suddenly appeared out of nowhere? Even we could feel the sense overbearing pressure. Could it be that Flarite is about to integrate himself into the natural order and become an ultimate existence?”

Wizard Augustus asked in confusion.

“Whoosh.”

Suddenly, Flarite arrived at the scene. As the quasi-ultimate existence, naturally, he was able to sense the power of the natural order. Such an invisible force of pressure was the most powerful force of the Void Zone – the power of the natural order.

“Wizard Augustus, I have no intention of incorporating the natural order. These movements were not caused by me.”

In saying so, Flarite glanced over to Merlin, the meaning in his eyes could not be clearer. Such a large scale of events was caused by Merlin.

“Wizard Merlin, did you cause this?”

Augustus was shocked, and it was not only him but the other ultimate existences were too. They could all see that Merlin was still only the Lord of two ultimate Maxims. He might not even be able to sense the natural order, much less invoke it, so how could he have possibly evoked such a drastic reaction from the natural order of the Void Zone?

Merlin furrowed his brows as he looked up to the sky, a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. “I don’t know what has caused the reaction of the power of the natural order in the Void Zone. Perhaps, it’s just an accident.”

As the last of Merlin’s words fell, the concentrated power of natural order had gradually dissipated and disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared.

Although these ultimate existences were wholly unconvinced that this was an accident, they were unable to find the cause of such a scale of activity. They could only give up and return to their respective residences.

Only the Mother Tree gave a deep stare, and said with a smile, “Wizard Merlin, I sense an uncomfortable feeling from you. Have no doubt, us Tree Folk Tribe have a very close bond with the power of the natural order. However, regardless of good or bad, the fact that you can evoke such a great reaction from the power of the natural order of the Void Zone, Wizard Merlin, you can certainly be proud of yourself!”

The Mother Tree, too, took his leave; leaving Merlin to stand alone calmly in the Void Zone.

“Was that the power of the natural order earlier? Was it because I had merged the Illusory World?”

Merlin could only think of the Illusory World now as he had integrated the Illusory World and had officially advanced from the Illusory Heart into the realm of the Illusory World. He had become a Tenth-level Mind Power Master; the one and only Tenth-level Mind Power Master in the entire Void Zone.

“Even if you had consolidated the Illusory World, it wouldn’t have had such a reaction. Merlin, it’s time I congratulated you!”

Titus’ voice echoed. He was no longer in the illusion bead but in the new Illusory World built by Merlin. As a residual of Titus’ Mind Power, his status and position in the Illusory World remained aloof.

However, Titus’ former Mind Power may still have been able to affect the Illusory World but now his Illusory World was pretty much non-existent, replaced by the brand new Illusory World created and exclusively belonged to Merlin alone, and thus void of all ties to Titus.

As such, Titus’ Mind Power now only granted him a slightly more transcendent position but he was no longer able to interfere with the Illusory World.

Titus was ultimately the genius who had pioneered the Mind Power system. Without him, perhaps the Mind Power system would still be created but no one knew how many years that would have taken. Perhaps by that time, the Spell Caster civilization would have ceased to exist.

“Titus, do you know what’s going on?”

Merlin had sensed that there was a deeper meaning in Titus’ words, and his tone seemed to have been laced with a tinge of excitement, which was very different from the usual Titus.

Titus could not conceal his inner excitement as he said in a deep voice, “Merlin, if I have not guessed wrongly, the power of the natural order earlier was directed toward you. More specifically, the Illusory World created by you! In the beginning, when I’ve created the Illusory World, there was no such reaction from the power of the natural order of the Void Zone. This means that the Illusory World that you have created, especially the natural order that you have formulated in the Illusory World, has caused a slight resistance from the Void Zone. Only when there exists a threat to the Void Zone will it resist. Now, do you know how terrifying the natural order that you have created in the Illusory World is? I have reason to believe that you’re capable of perfecting the Illusory World, and even take the final step!”

Titus was genuinely thrilled with excitement. While he cannot comprehend the brand new Illusory World that Merlin had created, that did not prevent him from seeing the potential of this Illusory World.

That never-ending space alone had let Titus felt like he was faced against the Void Zone. This was vastly different from his original Illusory World.

This is the true Illusory World!

If Merlin could perfect the Illusory World, then Titus would be immensely pleased. After all, the Mind Power system had been his life’s work. If Merlin could successfully perfect the Illusory World, then that would prove that he was right to have founded the Mind Power system.

So much so that Titus could even further study the reason why his Illusory World had failed when Merlin’s had succeeded.

“Perhaps, the point of the shift from the Mind Heart into the Illusory World is the most challenging obstacle for a Mind Power Master. If something goes wrong in the consolidated world, then there will never be the possibility for further improvement.”

Titus had gotten a clue from the earlier Illusory World Merlin had consolidated. Despite having just integrated with the Illusory World, Merlin, was far more fortunate than Titus.

“I have created the natural order? Is that not the fundamental law of the previous universe?”

Merlin was shocked. If what Titus was saying was true, then the Void Zone was indeed a different world from that of the previous universe or better yet, as Aruba said, they were two different Latitude Cosmoses.

“The former universe may have been a Latitude Comos that was comparable to the Void Zone, then, the law of the universe must be the natural order! So, that means that I’ve at least succeeded in the first step of creating the Illusory World, and there’s a hope of perfecting it? Or, the Illusory World that I have created was the prototype of another Latitude Cosmos?”

Merlin felt a confidence surge inside of him like never before. He had passed the most difficult challenge of the Illusory World. Now, it only needed the passing of time for the Illusory World to be perfected.
