Chapter 724: Master of the Dimension!

After keeping away their Soul Medallions, Veron gazed at Merlin with an unfathomable expression. He asked slowly, “There's a Glorious Land right beside the Mobata world?”

Although Veron did not understand their conversation entirely, he had learned some information about the Mobata world. There was only one real dimension which was the Glorious Land. The Mobata world was merely attached to the Glorious Land.

“Yes, the Glorious Land. Everyone there is a Spell Caster like me!”

Merlin parted his lips. There were things that he did not say. For example, now that the seal placed on the Mobata world had been opened, the Mobatans would actually be able to come in contact with both the Glorious Land and the Void Zone.

Although the people from the Mobata world and the Glorious Land were considered the same kind, the two civilizations had developed differently from one another. Whoever a.s.sumed that one civilization would ever accept and treat a foreign civilization equally was a fool.

Therefore, Merlin could foresee the conflict that would surely erupt when the Mobatans entered the Glorious Land. This was an outcome that Merlin did not want to see.

Unless Merlin could control the Elemental Origin left behind by Aruba and seal off the pa.s.sage between the two worlds completely. That way, the Mobatans would only be connected to the Void Zone. It would be impossible for them to enter the Glorious Land via the Void Zone due to the seal of the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards. Even an ultimate existence such as the Lord G.o.d of Light would not be able to enter the Glorious Land, let alone the Mobata world.

“How big is the Void Zone?” Veron asked out of nowhere after a while.

Merlin smiled. He understood Veron's meaning, so he explained calmly, “The Void Zone is so unimaginably vast that even the ultimate existences don't know the extent of its vastness. There are also countless other dimensions in the Void Zone. The Spell Casters had set foot into the Void Zone long ago, so we owned hundreds of millions of dimensions. This is a good opportunity for the Mobata world to enter the Void Zone. Furthermore, you can choose to enlist yourselves under the Spell Caster civilization.”

Enlisting under the Spell Caster civilization was indeed a good way to ensure that the vulnerable Mobata world would not be threatened by the foreign tribe civilizations.

However, Veron shook his head and said, “The fate of the Mobatans should rest in our own hands! Aruba said that we Mobatans cannot break through our limitations, but this is merely his speculation and is not absolute! The Mobatans might have been unable to break through the bottleneck for a very long time, but I won't give up. I'll explore the Void Zone. I might never succeed or perhaps I will. Perhaps, one day, a powerful civilization called the Mobata civilization will rise in the vast Void Zone!”

Veron was unwilling to depend on the Spell Caster civilization. He wanted to explore the Void Zone instead and break through the bottleneck. Merlin knew that the chances of this happening were very slim.

The Mobatans were still facing an internal crisis at the moment. Nevertheless, there was Veron whose existence was second only to an Honored Legend. Thus, the situation would not worsen to the point of no return. If he really managed to break through the bottleneck, then most probably the Mobatans would also become a powerful civilization.

After all, the Mobatans were created with Aruba as a blueprint and had cultivated the training drills. It was a pity that they were bound by the natural order of the Void Zone.

Merlin simply could not imagine how strong Aruba's physical body was. How could he overcome the natural order just by relying on his physical body? Perhaps even the t.i.tan Giants among the Giant tribe had never conceived such a thought.

Nevertheless, this encounter has strengthened Merlin's resolve. He found out that there was actually a supreme existence that had transcended the ultimate existences and could overrule the natural order.

“It's time to leave…”

Merlin pointed gently forward, and s.p.a.ce shattered in an instant. He could also sense the aura of the Elemental Origin as he disappeared into the shattered s.p.a.ce in a flash.

The Mobatans, from this day onwards, would be starting a brand-new life…

Hum…

A figure stepped out from s.p.a.ce and into the pa.s.sage of the secret place. It was none other than Merlin. He had finally returned to the Glorious Land.

The sphinx guardian had noticed him too. He appeared at the mouth of the pa.s.sage right away and seemed to have sensed something when he saw Merlin. He asked in a deep voice, “Did you obtain the Soul Medallion that Master left behind?”

“You know of the Soul Medallion too?”

Merlin was a little surprised. He did not know why Aruba had given life to these statues.

“Of course. Master had told us back then that all of us here must obey whoever succeeded at obtaining the Soul Medallion he left behind and serve him as our new Master!”

Merlin's heart leaped in joy. He did not expect Aruba to leave behind the guardians of the secret place to him. Each of these guardians was comparable to a Great Legend. Added with the Atlan civilization's empire-level wars.h.i.+p and martial art robots, his troop was no less powerful than an above-average civilization in the Void Zone.

After all, the empire-level wars.h.i.+p was comparable to an Honored Legend. Many foreign tribe civilizations that relied on the Spell Caster civilization only had one or two existences that were comparable to an Honored Legend.

“Master, what's your command?”

The change in the demeanor of the sphinx guardian was almost instantaneous. Despite being given life, its mentality seemed to remain at the level of a puppet. Perhaps, this was a deliberate action on Aruba's part.

“Can I refine the Elemental Origin now?”

Merlin pointed to the Elemental Origin that connected the Mobata world and the Glorious Land. Although Veron had indicated that he would not enter the Glorious Land, Merlin still felt that it was better to destroy the pa.s.sage between the two worlds. Prevention was better than cure.

“Since Master has received the Soul Medallion, the seal placed by the old Master has disappeared. Master can refine it now.” the sphinx guardian replied truthfully.

“Very well. a.s.semble all the guardians in the secret place and wait for me outside.”

Then, Merlin waved his hand and sent the sphinx guardian outside. He s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards this cl.u.s.ter of Elemental Origin. This was the power source of the Glorious Land that even the three great Arcane Wizards did not manage to control.

Once he had refined the Elemental Origin, it would be equivalent to controlling the entire Glorious Land. Moreover, the Glorious Land had been sealed by the three great Arcane Wizard. Hence, this was a very safe place. Merlin intended to leave his Soul Medallion in the Glorious Land.

With that, should he encounter any danger in the future and die as a result, he would be able to rely on the Soul Medallion to resurrect himself in the Glorious Land as long as no harm had come upon the medallion.

There was no place safer than a dimension controlled by himself.

Merlin began utilizing his Mind Power to examine the Elemental Origin. True enough, the immense surge of power from before was no longer there. He could refine the Elemental Origin without any impediment.

Merlin was more than familiar with refining the Elemental Origin. He was very familiar with the process. After all, he had previously taken hold of dimensions in the Void Zone before. Therefore, the refining this time had proceeded without a hitch.

Coupled with Merlin's unprecedentedly powerful Mind Power, he only had to spend a few days to gain complete control of the Elemental Origin. Merlin could now feel the violence of fire, the magnificence of wind and so on and so forth.

He could also see the whole of Glorious Land with clarity in an instant. He could even see that Bhutto XVII was putting on the sacred golden armor right now and was gradually solidifying his authority in the Blackmoon Empire. The empire would soon begin a glorious era.

However, no matter how authoritative an emperor or how powerful a Spell Caster, all of their fates rested in Merlin's hands now. He was the master of the Glorious Land dimension!

Controlling a dimension allowed for the usage of the Elemental Origin to collect insights for Maxim consolidation. In fact, he could even plunder the Elemental Origin by force to consolidate a new Maxim.

Nonetheless, Merlin had no need for such actions. His current abilities were powerful enough due to the exceptional strength of his Wizard Heart. Right now, he wanted to achieve the greatest feat right away by consolidating an ultimate Maxim.

Therefore, the Elemental Origin of the Glorious Land was not particularly helpful to Merlin. It was still useful to some extent, but it was not a decisive factor in his power. The decisive factor of whether or not Merlin could become and Honored Legend boiled down to his own enlightenment.

Merlin knew that it would likely take a very long time for him to become one unless he encountered some kind of miracles.

Swis.h.!.+

Merlin returned to the first floor of the secret place. He saw that the sphinx guardian had a.s.sembled four guardians. All of them were statues that were given life by Aruba.

Among them were the two guardian statues at the door.

Merlin did not expect that besides there were another two guardians besides them though. He had not discovered them at all in the secret place.

“Master.”

The sphinx guardian seemed to know what Merlin was thinking. He pointed at the two other guardians and explained, “They are clandestine guardians, and their abilities are no weaker than mine. Their role is to protect the secret place from the shadows.”

Merlin nodded. Adding the sphinx guardians into the equation, there would be a total of five powerful existences each comparable to a Great Legend. This was a powerful force of which he could not just let them be without keeping an eye on them.

This was because even if he returned to the Spell Caster civilization, Merlin desired to ama.s.s a huge force that could span across countless dimensions. He needed numerous Legends under him. Relying on the martial art robots from the empire-level wars.h.i.+p was simply not enough.

Merlin now had a basic foundation of a large force now that he had these five subordinates that were comparable to Great Legends. All that was left for him to do was to continue expanding his plans back in the Void Zone.

“Okay, I want this secret place to be moved to another secret location. All of you enter the wars.h.i.+p first.”

Merlin did not hide anything from these subordinates. He took out the Atlan civilization's empire-level wars.h.i.+p and allowed the five of them to enter.

Once the five of them had entered, Merlin kept the wars.h.i.+p away. This so-called secret place was actually not that secretive because the Blackmoon royal family knew about it. So, if Merlin wanted to leave his Soul Medallion here, he could not allow anyone to know. That was why he had to move the secret place.

Merlin would not have been able to accomplish such a stealthy move in the past, but after refining the Elemental Origin, Merlin was now basically the master of the dimension. Moving a place around silently was, of course, a piece of cake for him.

Once his Mind Power encapsulated the entire secret place, the Wizard Heart behind Merlin released a powerful burst of power. Even the power of the Glorious Land was mobilized by Merlin in order to conceal the movement caused by s.h.i.+fting the secret place.

“Rise!”

Merlin roared once. The secret place was immediately moved using his Magic Power and floated in the air.

“s.h.i.+ft!”

As soon as Merlin spoke, the secret land that was floating in the air vanished without a trace. Merlin also moved a few mountains around silently so that this place seemed unchanged.

It was just that if the Blackmoon royal family were to send someone else here, they would not find the secret place even if they searched several hundred meters around the mountain.

Boom!

An inconspicuous mountain range seemed to be experiencing an earthquake as it shook violently.

If someone were to look carefully, they would find that a thick fog has shrouded this place.

After a few days, the thick fog dissipated and the mountain range returned to how it had been before. There seemed to be no changes.

It looked as if nothing has changed, but the secret place had been buried under its ground. Merlin put the Soul Medallion inside the secret place. There was a thoughtful pause before he left behind the sphinx guardian statue to guard the place because he still felt uneasy.

“If someone actually stumbles across the secret place, kill them!”

This was the most crucial order issued by Merlin to the sphinx, a.s.signing him to guard the secret place forever. Although the probability of anyone discovering the secret place again was very slim, the Soul Medallion was simply too important to risk anything. Merlin could not afford to be careless.

Once everything was settled, Merlin looked up at the sky, and a smile danced on his lips.

“I guess it's time to see Bhutto XVII.”
