Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1234: Chapter 572: Destruction Pact (Part 2)

Meanwhile, the rainbow core crystals on the marble square emitted a multi-colored brilliance that slightly oscillated once again; the cracks seemed to be temporarily restrained by an unknown force.

But everyone knew this was merely a brief respite, and caution must not be abandoned!

David and Liliana, following the secret guidance, stepped into the core area of the legendary projection of the World Tree.

This place was miles away from the Water Spirit Royal Palace, gradually enveloped by dense old sea forests, yet what lay before them was far beyond the comparison of ordinary forests.

Large aerial roots resembled intangible gigantic nets, climbing out from deep underground, intertwining intricately, forming maze-like roots that seemed to breathe and pulse like living creatures.

Every root surface was covered in lush, glimmering moss and delicate vines that trembled gently, with rhythmic flows of transparent, crystalline life energy extending like a stream.

The air was permeated with a rich and ancient aroma, one that was indescribable, yet it made one feel the sacredness and solemnity as if remnants from the dawn of time and creation.

David furrowed his brow slightly, sensing this environment’s oppressive yet extremely sacred extraordinary aura.

He could perceive that in the air, not only was there pure elemental power, but also a timeless will that silently watched—

an immense silence that seemed to transcend language and existence itself.

Meanwhile, Liliana moved elegantly, wearing a long robe of green brocade, appearing particularly agile in the hall formed by the intertwining roots.

She gently closed her eyes, and a shimmering radiance akin to cosmic stars emanated from her palm, the response summoned by her elven bloodline.

Gradually, a faint green pattern appeared on her arms, spreading from her wrists to her shoulders; these patterns flowed like living water, subtly glowing on her skin, seemingly resonating with the life veins of this land.

”Here... there’s a particularly intense yet ancient message fluctuation.” She whispered, her gaze seemed to pierce through her half-closed eyes towards those swirling aerial roots, ”Almost as if...the very World Tree is calling us with some language.”

David approached a bit closer, attempting to use spiritual power to actively communicate with that seemingly silent yet majestically overwhelming will.

He concentrated his mind, deeply embedding his consciousness into the overlapping layers of the information network surrounding him.

Yet what greeted him was an invisible and nearly cold and unyielding information barrier.

Though the barrier didn’t manifest with sound or imagery, it caused his spiritual power to face unprecedented suppression and rejection, akin to a small boat in a stormy ocean, unable to break through the immense silent sea despite struggling.

He could vaguely sense that behind this silence was not mere refusal, but a profoundly deep and complex new type of scrutiny—an attitude of existence that transcends good and evil, life, and meaning itself.

”I... feel no concrete response.” David frowned, turning to look at Liliana.

”This is my first time truly ’hitting a wall.’ The trial here is far more complex than imagined.”

Liliana nodded slightly, beads of sweat on her forehead shimmering softly with each breath, ”My bloodline indeed resonates, but this intense resonance also brings an unknown unease.

This is not just a summoning but more like an assessment—or a test of us.”

They continued deeper along paths formed by the colossal aerial roots, each step accompanied by small echoes akin to a trembling earth.

They noticed soft, elastic moss on the ground underfoot, distinctly different from the rough and hard exterior, each step seemed to activate a latent life rhythm underground, allowing the entire area to operate seamlessly as a living whole.

The entire core area was vast and towering, yet without any architectural traces, it was simply a colossal natural structure intertwined with countless threads.

Through the twists, several crystalline, delicate branches extended from the main trunk, their interiors flowing with pure elemental essence, occasionally twinkling with blue-green lightspots, as though reflecting a starry river, leading them gradually closer to the deepest core.

At this moment, sunlight was blocked by thick leaves, leaving only fragmentary speckles penetrating gaps, scattered like fireflies hovering in the air, as if sacred sparks fallen from the Celestial Realm, adding vitality to the dark surroundings, reflecting a hint of expectation and anxiety in the solemn and focused expressions of the two.

”Do you hear it?” Liliana suddenly halted, pressing her ear close to a thick, tightly intertwined moss.

”That low-frequency hum... resembles the Earth speaking its secrets in the most primitive language.”

David held his breath and listened intently, indeed capturing the elusive yet undeniable rhythmic movements akin to distant stellar vibrations.

This humming was unlike ordinary elemental magic releases, nor mechanized indexing, it was closer to an ancient consciousness’s intimate and solemn expression of cosmic laws, a reverent whisper from nature’s source on fate’s cycle.

He placed his palm on a sturdy aerial root, instantly transmitting the primordial force of the heavens into his bones, a wave of coolness and tremor spreading along his spine to his mind, forcing him to pause, adjust his breathing rhythm to prevent losing balance from the excessive impact.

At this moment, not just physically, even spiritually, it seemed as though placed at the center of the temporal flow, tearing open fissures that couldn’t be filled, all thoughts scattered and formless, leaving a silent wait for a response...

Suddenly, a soft green light burst forth from the ornate patterns, rapidly diffusing through the vascular network, creating ripples across the skin, as if infused with fresh living water igniting life’s flames.

In this instant, the shock of yet-unrevealed truths from the Royal Palace of Leishir was starkly contrasted with the ancient soul web’s space-time-spanning contact here—

One filled with determined struggle, the other cultivating eternal tranquility, both together forming the vital cornerstone for the elemental world’s destiny pivot...

David gazed at the mystical forest projection’s central area, laden with strange symbol engravings, though slightly eroded by time and wind, they could still discern the orderly arrangement corresponding to different dimensional frequencies, an essential carrier combining information encoding with life rhythm.

”We must uncover the core logic behind these runes,” he murmured, ”only by deciphering them can we break this ’silence,’ gain true recognition from the World Tree’s will, and touch the critical key for favorable change in the future.”

The path of roots’ quietness hadn’t lifted, yet a deeper oppression silently descended upon David and Liliana.

The ancient will in the air transformed into invisible waves, like silently opening massive doors.

Accompanied was a trial stemming from the elemental source—the projection will of the World Tree prioritized ”communication” as the foremost test.

The surrounding atmosphere abruptly altered, amongst the tightly woven roots, light began to flow.

This light wasn’t ordinary magical shimmer but carried the most primal, pure, and inviolable elemental power.

As the rhythmic rise and fall, a peculiar, serene yet heart-stirring melody emerged from the void, seemingly calling, testing the emotional limits of the two individuals.

David gripped the magic staff tightly, eyes solemnly fixed forward.

He felt his own spiritual power gradually being pulled into a broader and more complex information band, interwoven with the ancient elemental energy frequency of the world.

And just then, a breeze brushed over the platform entwined with roots, they gently shivered and oscillated as if alive.

Suddenly, out of the misty vapor gathered four distinct forms from four different directions, entities radiating pure elemental brilliance.

They transformed from obscure and indistinct information waves into vividly lifelike yet transcendent elemental spirits—representing Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind elements.

These spirits varied in form but maintained a mix of innocence and vigilance in their expressions.
