Use gentle means to let Nora disband.
Frankly speaking, Noraās rapid development over the past millennium,
half the credit belongs to the immense personal influence of the Dusk Hall Master.
His reputation even surpasses that of Great Council President Emmon.
Many races came to ally with Nora out of belief and admiration for Levi.
Now, this pillar, Levi, seems to be faltering.
Inevitably, some problems will arise.
The Wizard Council did not make any announcements about this.
Supreme Council.
At the round table, legendary wizards turned their gaze to Emmon.
"Are we really not releasing a statement to refute the rumors?"
Emmon said:
"Donāt. Right now, silence is the best solution. If we issue one, the Giants will sense weakness and be convinced Levi failed his tribulation.
If we say nothing, theyāll remain suspicious, thinking this might be a tactic by our congress, guessing Levi has succeeded and weāre concealing it."
In this period, no one is to leave Nora. During Leviās absence, the Nightmare may seize this opportunity for revenge."
The Frost Witch spoke:
"Just trust Levi. Has he ever let us down?"
The strong nodded in agreement:
"Mm, indeed, we must not lose our composure."
Heavenly Will said:
"We cannot deny that we depend on Levi.
But we cannot rely on him too much. Otherwise, weāre no different from those Giants who depend on the Four Supreme Wills. Nora Wan Clan must find ways to cultivate more talent, strengthen our civilization in all aspects!"
Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.
The meeting ended, Rowling and Lucy set out together, flying toward the Ancient Dragon Continent.
...
Ancient Banyan Fairyland.
The three siblings were soon to turn four hundred years old.
Now, their wings had grown strong.
All were primordial soul wizards, plus Level 7 Late Stage Knights.
Barring surprises, around five or six hundred, theyād become Level 8 Knights.
Such progress would surely make other knights despair at the sight.
So Levi didnāt have the three siblings join the Eighteen Riders. It served no purpose. Better to have them outside the Dusk Holy Temple system, simply serving close by.
"Mother, father hasnāt returned yet."
"Donāt worry, heāll be back soon. Just treat it like fatherās usual seclusionāin this period, you should work hard at your cultivation.
Otherwise, when he emerges and checks your progress, he wonāt go easy on you."
The siblings hurried off to work hard.
Leviās expectation for them is to reach level nine soon.
This way, in the Multidimensional Plane, they have basic self-preservation.
Plus, with Leviās trump cards given to them, even facing a level-10 opponent, they can escape with their lives.
With this, thereās no need to worry for the childrenās safety.
Heād send the siblings off to the Nightmare Battlefield for real combat training.
Settling them, Elena continued her cultivation.
Her path of the Energy Sect was also reaching a breakthrough moment.
Recently, she often experienced enlightenment and did not dare slack off.
No matter how the outside world discussed.
As his wife, she trusted Levi. A mere legendary Great Tribulation? No problem.
Days later.
After finishing her medicine work, Triss came to visit Elena.
Beside her were Rowling and Lucy.
They looked out over the Three Realms, so many sub-dragons and Legendary Creatures.
They couldnāt help but sigh:
"That Levi, heās got so many treasures."
Even legendary wizards canāt compare at all.
Triss said:
"We came to see you. Havenāt had a tea party in ages."
Elena welcomed her guests, offering the finest tea in the fairyland.
Busy as she was, she spoke with apparent casualness: .
"Iām fine, Iām not worried, you donāt need to take time from your busy days to visit me."
The other three witches couldnāt help but laugh:
"Glad youāre alright."
Trissās thoughts moved, and she smiled:
"Well then, letās research medicines... Some time ago, Levi gave me a Mythical Creature toxin that suppresses divine power. Letās see how we can mass-produce it."
Lucy and Rowlingās eyes lit up.
"Heās got such good stuff? Not bad, not bad, letās all research together."
Elena understood they still wanted to distract her with work.
So she wouldnāt be left alone feeling too oppressed; she smiled, "Iāve been rushing my cultivation so much, my medicine skills canāt compare to yours. Perfect chance to learn."
...
Time flows onāanother eight years.
Nora Calendar 2800, Blood Battle 2688.
The congress advised folks not to focus too much on the tribulation of top experts. Stay attentive to whatās before you; Nora is strong, but warās shadow never fades.
People gradually returned to their regular lives.
On Ancient Dragon Continent, even with Levi absent,
all major organizations and academies continued to operate and grow rapidly.
Level 6 Knights and primordial soul wizards rose like bamboo after rain, and the Seven-Colored Scale Clan and all kinds of alien races Levi sheltered flourished, with level six experts ever increasing.
Any era, any civilization,
level six is the backbone.
Because war isnāt only the dazzling battles of level-10.
Beneath the clouds, the middle and lower ranks are the real pillars of civilization.
...
Time fliesāanother twelve years.
Itās been exactly a hundred years since Levi began his ascension.
Itās been a full sixty years since he disappeared upon walking the legendary path.
In the Nightmare World, the Three Emperors finally lost patience.
Disaster Monarch said:
"Timeās up; we can attack."
Ignorant Monarch said:
"The chance for revenge has come."
Archdevil of Hell said:
"Hold on! Donāt commit the main force yet. Send some cannon fodder to Nora to scout for the truthāwhat if the Dusk Hall Master actually succeeded, just hidden himself?"
"Makes sense."
Nora Calendar 2812.
Nightmare begins a new probing round of war against Nora.
...
The Land of Nihility, without concept or meaning.
In the endless darkness, only a streak of golden light endures undying.
Within the golden light, a figure lies as if a golden cicada in winter slumber.
On this day, he opened his eyes.
In a single thought, the golden light trembled and immediately exploded outwards.
Next, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water appeared, transforming and mutating, universeās big bang, epoch cycles, time passing, sea and field.
Many indescribable, shocking anomalies all manifested. Then, the void darkness was filled by countless worlds and living beings.
The cold universe gained life force and meaning.
Levi did not know how long had passed. Judging by the progress of his knighthood cultivation, it should be less than a century.
He stood up; a splendid pure white robe appeared automatically, crowned by a diadem set with eleven gems: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Light, Darkness, Death, and other Elements.
In his hand, the Ancient Tower Scepter representing the ancient tower keys shone brilliantly.
In this moment, he felt a spiritual resonance with the Dark Ancient Tower, billions of miles away.
With a single thought, he could summon the ancient tower to fight for him.
He stretched and snapped his fingers softly.
Endless light shredded the darkness, revealing the real world beneath.
In the distance, a brilliant white pearl gleamed deep in space.
That is Nora.
"Legendary now. Time to go home!"
Levi took a step forward and vanished from the Land of Darkness.
He appeared in a strange chaos space.
This was a leftover Chaos Dimension from the universeās big bangāsmall, dilapidated, riddled with holes like a termite nest, yet connected to the Multidimensional Plane.
In only a few breaths, he arrived at Nora.
Just as he was about to stride in and show off, Levi halted.
He noticed several furtive figures, concealed in the void.
"Then Iāll deal with them."
