A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1215: The Collapse of the World

Using the Turbid Lizard’s corpse as intimidation, Green enjoyed a relatively quiet life within the Dimensional Esophagus at the Convergence Grounds of the Piercing Gate.

With bones as materials and bonded with solidified gelatin, a small but fully equipped laboratory was constructed after a few days of Green’s efforts. The lab was complete with all necessary equipment, undisturbed by the Illusory World or Temporal Storms, allowing Green to diligently study the knowledge of the Life Key while quietly waiting for the great collapse of a world in the Material World, triggering the opening of the Piercing Gate.

Unknowingly, a few years passed by.

On this day, leading a relatively leisurely life and in the midst of expanding the ”Book of Truth,” Green suddenly felt something, surprised, lifting his three-colored light eyes, quickly putting away the Goose Feather Pen and ”Book of Truth,” and stepped outside the laboratory.

Buzz...

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack...

The sharp, piercing sound of space-time shattering, akin to numerous crystal glasses grinding against each other in a confined space, emitted an agitating, unsettling cacophony. Standing at the laboratory door before this enormous Temporal Fault, Green sensed the power fluctuation gradually emanating from within this vast, invisible Temporal Fault, as expansive as the True Spirit Crater.

Green knew that in the Endless World, a great world had collapsed.

Nothing can exist eternally; even great worlds with the most gentle and stable cyclical rules must face eventual collapse and destruction, adhering to the radiant, intricate, and colorful Balance Rules of life and death, creation and annihilation.

Under Green’s watchful eyes, beams of dark red light burst forth from the central part of this unprecedentedly large Temporal Fault, containing a rich and nurturing Flame Energy, as Green seemingly witnessed a vibrant history of birth, profusion, and conclusion of a Fire Element Elf World.

Judging by the marks left by the rules, the rules of this great world seemingly belong to a relatively stable type, not a turbulent world rule, thus having at least dozens or even hundreds of eons of history in the Endless World.

”Hmm? The energy is incredibly enormous, not only penetrating through Material and Illusory Space-Time but even a minuscule portion of this scale of Temporal Fault is penetrable!”

Beneath the Face of Truth, Green muttered in slight astonishment as he seemed to glimpse some bizarre scenes through his three-colored light eyes.

For the terrifying energy fluctuation that erupts in an instant when a great world collapses, penetrating reality and illusion, Green merely had a conceptual understanding, as he did not comprehend the required magnitude of energy, which was too distant for Green.

However, regarding the energy penetration within Temporal Faults, Green had a clearer, more intuitive understanding!

Before arriving at the Retrogressive Luminance Illusory World, Green was trapped in a Temporal Fault within a shallower Illusory World.

It was extremely dangerous!

It was a Rule Space Fragment where the passage of time was chaotic, and the scope of material and energy playing within it was limited, thus immobilizing Green, as if entrapped in an amber specimen eternally frozen by time.

Unavoidably, Green, relying heavily on the Sands of Time and Threads of Time for protection, wove them into a massive cocoon, hid within, insulating himself from the Temporal Fault’s influences, and safely arrived at the Retrogressive Luminance Illusory World.

As of now, with the power of a Level-6 Peak, Green, upon re-sensing the Temporal Fault, could faintly perceive that if he fell into a Temporal Fault again, he might barely achieve a snail’s pace of movement.

Yet this only pertains to the smallest scale of Temporal Faults; the current vast, expansive Temporal Fault at the Piercing Gate, its sheer magnitude is enough to rival several True Spirit Craters combined!

Within such a scale of a Temporal Fault, at its very center, as the light from the collapse of the World’s Heart penetrated time and space, the shattered World’s Heart fragmented, bursting out in all directions.

The tremendous penetrative kinetic energy caused large World-Heart fragments, each spanning hundreds of meters, to continually split, fragment, and dissipate, eventually ”pop,” ”pop,” ”pop” breached the Temporal Fault, descending into the Dimensional Esophagus.

Like brilliant fireworks, instantly beautiful!

”So that’s the Piercing Gate that penetrates both Material and Illusory Worlds! Can it truly offer a way out?”

However, at this moment, Green’s eyes remained fixed on the deepest part of the Temporal Fault, on that near-magical gate, from which a continuous surge of dark red flame rule energy and World-Heart fragments gushed forth.

Although unable to perceive it clearly and directly due to the obstruction of the Temporal Fault, judging by Green’s insignificance before the might of the Endless World rules, it must have easily surpassed a billion degrees!

The ancient monsters, driven nearly to madness by their confinement in the Dimensional Esophagus, actually intended to break free from such a location!?

Compared to here, Green would rather be swept into another Illusory World and seek a way back to the reality, never courting a fatal end.

As for the Nether Spider King’s mention of some Special Rules World that after penetrating both reality and Illusory Space-Time, could provide a path for the trapped dimensional creatures, even if there’s a million-in-one chance, even with such a Piercing Gate, the current large-scale Temporal Fault, with its obstructive influence slightly weakened when the Piercing Gate was opened, is not something ordinary beings can intrude upon.

Even in this moment, Green is far from capable!

If it were a few eons later, if Green perfectly synchronized with the annihilation amplification of over a million degrees, unsealing himself, an outbreak may then hold some possibility.

”Heart of the Wizarding World, even if patched with the Seven-Colored Space-Time Seal Technique, it’s been only slightly over three eons since it reached the Dimensional Esophagus, hasn’t it...”

With a worried and silent demeanor, Green contemplated the Wizard World.

If the Wizard World fails to re-navigate back to its original world coordinates and restore within the Balance Rules before the deadline, it might become what the exiles gather before the Piercing Gate at the Dimensional Esophagus see, remnants of a collapsed world - the Wizard World!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The frequency of the World-Heart fragments increased, with not only a myriad of fingertip-sized small world fragments but occasionally even head-sized colossal world fragments. With a gesture, Green, through gravitational fluctuation, attracted several head-sized large world fragments.

The essence of Flame Energy within them was dissipating continually; Green studied it carefully for a while, and with a flash of black flame in his hand, a Phantom of the Infernal Soul Bird consumed it.

”Sssss...”

Slowly, a creature with tangled, slithering snakes as hair, an enticing woman with a bare torso, and a speckled snake lower body, approached Green. Through the three-colored light eyes under Green Truth Mask, Green sensed a power akin to his own.

This turned out to be a Mesocea exile!

”Oh? Are you here to challenge my throne as the Predator King, Mesocea.”

Green, well-versed in the Petrification Curse Power, aware of its terrifying capabilities, felt no fear.

This Mesocea was far inferior compared to the one sealed as an amber specimen gifted by the World Tree to Green.

”No, great Oblivion Sorcerer, I merely wish to become your follower, just like him. After all, a great being like you needs a domain overseer, right?”

Mesocea gestured towards the green-skinned dwarf creature that stealthily attacked Green during the final moments of Green’s clash with the Turbid Lizard and was petrified.
