Warlock Apprentice

Just as Sanders exited the ”Energy Selection” activation state, the entire Wilderness of Dreams seemed to be struck by an imperceptible strange spiritual energy, causing a slight tremor in the spatial dimension.

For the vast majority of life within the Wilderness of Dreams, they did not feel anything unusual. Only a few individuals with very high spiritual sense cast puzzled gazes at the sky, as if sensing something—had the previously dormant Wilderness of Dreams undergone slight changes during this tremor?

If someone were viewing from God’s View, or from outside the ”Miniature Garden,” the effect would be evident.

The faint glow that previously enveloped the vicinity of the Wilderness of Dreams seemed to come to life halfway, with the light suddenly contracting, finally transforming into a core of light that slowly sank from the surface into the center of the Wilderness of Dreams.

When this core of light entered the interior of the Wilderness of Dreams, it was as if the world had undergone a reshuffling, rejuvenating the entire Wilderness of Dreams.

A continuous stream of energy emanated from the core of light, spreading to every corner of the Wilderness of Dreams. The people of Originheart City, except for those in the Sin Hunting Group, were mostly oblivious; but to the Dream Plant Fairies around the mother tree, this sudden surge of energy startled them. Being a transcendent race, they could naturally perceive this energy, though they could not understand why this energy, at once unfamiliar yet familiar, suddenly permeated the entire world.

Sanders stood on the balcony, also feeling this slight trace of energy.

A gleam of joy passed through his eyes.

Although the presence of energy was still quite faint, without a doubt, it was Primordial Magic!

With magic appearing throughout the Wilderness of Dreams, it signified that his experiments had achieved a phase of success. The framework of the Magic System was successfully developed by Sanders!

Sanders slowly extended his hand, and an energy ball appeared in the palm of his hand.

This energy ball slowly expanded, quickly growing to about the size of a walnut, and then seemed to reach the limit of its expansion, unable to grow larger, maintaining itself at a certain threshold.

Sanders assessed the energy level contained within the energy ball, nodding slightly in acknowledgment without releasing the energy ball, instead casually dispersing it.

What he had just tested was the maximum magic power he could mobilize under the current magic framework, with the walnut-sized energy ball roughly equivalent to the level of a 0-level Trick.

A 0-level Trick is not particularly powerful and not very useful for now. But this is only for the time being, Sanders believed that as the framework’s structure is enriched over time, this maximum magic quota will undoubtedly increase continually.

After confirming that there was no issue with the framework of the Magic System, Sanders slowly walked back from the balcony to the desk inside the room and sat down once again.

The framework composition of the Magic System succeeded on the first attempt. This greatly encouraged Sanders, and he planned to press on, continuing to research and enrich the currently somewhat fragile Magic System, to quickly induce a qualitative change in the Wilderness of Dreams.

As Sanders began to immerse himself, most of the life residing in the Wilderness of Dreams was unaware that a revolution of energy was gradually encroaching upon their lives and would fundamentally alter their way of living in the future.

...

Meanwhile, at the center of the Glorious Realm, inside the Crown Star Church.

Within a hall filled with starlight, a wizard in a simple, ancient star-and-moon robe, was originally guiding the starlight, but suddenly, his tightly closed eyes opened without any warning.

Deep within his eyes flickered confusion.

His brow furrowed slightly; after contemplating for a few seconds, he walked out of the empty hall and stood at the large door of the hall, gazing into the storm-filled horizon, seemingly able to see through the layers of storms and glimpse some change occurring in the distant void.

”Lapuye, did you sense it too?” A peculiar, sharp voice reminiscent of bones scraping against each other whispered into the ear of the star-and-moon robed wizard—Lapuye.

Lapuye, the current Controller of the Crown Star Church, also known as the ”Immortal Coronastar.”

Although Lapuye was alone, he knew who was speaking to him, turning to peer into the sprawling starlit palaces, ”Asetos, it seems you sensed it too.”

Asetos was also one of the eighteen Observers of the Crown Star Church, known as the ”Ancient-born Foregone,” a prophet wizard regarded as extremely mysterious by outsiders.

Generally, Asetos rarely spoke, but at this moment, he took the initiative to contact Lapuye, naturally because he had sensed that...familiar tremor.

”The last time during the Day of Observing Stars, only the two of us sensed something through the ’Mystery of the Stars.’” Lapuye said slowly.

Asetos responded, ”A great work set to change the Wizards’ Realm is slowly coming into being.”

Lapuye, gazing into the endless void, her eyes appearing slightly dazed, ”Later, when this news spread, it didn’t cause a ripple. At the time I wondered if perhaps our perception was flawed.”

”But at this moment, we have sensed that familiar tremor once again.”

Asetos, ”This indicates that the great work that will change the Wizards’ Realm is not fabricated. It truly exists, yet currently seems to have shown no sign.”

Lapuye, ”Although we don’t know what this great work is or whether it’s man-made, that feeling of anticipation even stirs these old bones of mine with excitement about how it will transform the Wizards’ Realm?”

Though Asetos did not voice it, his thoughts aligned with Lapuye’s.

What will the great work that transforms the world truly be?

”We have only a little forethought, unable to probe any further. However, the Day of Observing Stars is the day after tomorrow, and since we have this foreboding now, perhaps we can utilize the powers of the Day of Observing Stars to deduce the truth.”

Lapuye nodded, sharing the same intention.

After reaching a consensus, Lapuye no longer continued discussing this matter with Asetos but turned to another topic, ”Are you aware of the matter suggested by Dean Muse of the Sky Mechanical City?”

Without a response from Asetos, Lapuye assumed his acceptance.

”I previously calculated on my own, and the information about the seed he mentioned should not be false. If the Cult of the Seed truly invades the Southern Domain Wizard World, this is by no means a trivial matter.” Lapuye spoke with an extremely solemn expression while discussing this matter.

”On the Day of Observing Stars, regardless of other matters. At least, regarding the issue of the seed, it must be kept in mind.”

Asetos, ”I understand.”

After receiving this affirmation, Lapuye said nothing further, bidding farewell to Asetos, then gazed again at the endless void, finally sighing lightly before retreating into the starlit palaces.
