"...Through interrogation, we found a clue about Prince Mephisto, who was operating in the Western Sea, in the memories of a nightmare. He was also present when Lord Raoul disappeared."

Theodore's spirits lifted: "Did you catch them?"

The apprentice bowed his head deeply: "I'm sorry, Master, it's also missing."

"..."

"..."

After a long wait, the weary voice of the Sun Wizard broke the silence: "Dinos, you are my most outstanding disciple. You have completed in less than five hundred years a process that other wizards may not be able to complete in three thousand years."

"It was your guidance, mentor."

“I know you’ve always been dissatisfied, dissatisfied that I refused to give you the final ‘meditation method’ to advance from the Radiant Moon to the Sun, forcing you to stay at this stage for a full hundred years without being able to take the final step.”

"No—my mentor, I didn't—"

“There’s no need to hide my disciple. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Every wizard walks the path of exploring the unknown and pushing the limits. I understand your dissatisfaction.”

The apprentice was taken aback. He looked up and saw a pair of stern eyes.

"Now, I will tell you about the Sun and the Holy Spirit, and the greatest secret of this wizarding world..."

……

Looking back at the 20,000-year history of the wizarding world, Lin Yi discovered an interesting phenomenon.

It took millions of years for species on Earth to evolve from apes to humans, and tens of thousands of years to progress from primitive to civilized, but the wizards of this world are different.

According to the records in the Five Rings Tower, the oldest recorded history of the wizarding world is 20,000 years ago—the ancient wizards signed a pact with the sea creatures, forcing them to acknowledge the wizards' supreme power over the world, thus beginning a 20,000-year history of invasion and domination.

However, the history before that is almost entirely blank.

How do wizards gain power?

How did humans become wizards?

How did humankind come into being in this world?

……

Everything is unknown. It's understandable that mortals, who struggle to maintain their daily lives, wouldn't bother to explore it, but to ignore even wizards is rather bizarre. Every civilization that can grow is rare, and one that can grow to the scale of exploring dimensional worlds is even rarer. Time, space, environment, and opportunity are all indispensable.

They will always experience various hardships, setbacks, and trials...

However, the civilization of wizards is different. It seems to have skipped the "process" entirely. When they first appeared in this world, wizards were already "wizards".

P.S.: Fourth update

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 815 Questioning

After venting their hatred by wiping out the entire western sea, people turned their attention back to the land from the now "pure" ocean.

The repeated wars with wizards have shown that Earth's current "weapons" are somewhat unable to keep up with the increasingly powerful wizards. From wizard apprentice to full wizard, and from full wizard to star wizard, each level advancement within the nine levels and three stages is like human civilization advancing by several decades.

If we say that technologies like nuclear fission are equivalent to the Moon-level wizards in the Star Wizards, then the existence of Sun Wizards has undoubtedly surpassed the current limits of what humanity can cope with, as can be seen from the previous second seat of the Tower Alliance.

Compared to other wizards, the Sun Wizard who called himself Raoul did not actually demonstrate any terrifying destructive power. However, his absolute and precise control over small spaces was something that Earth civilization simply did not possess.

Just as even the hardest wood cannot penetrate steel, the strongest weapons possessed by Earth's civilization are more than capable of destroying anything in the material world. However, the power wielded by the Sun Wizard is already approaching the material world—moving from the physical realm to the non-physical realm.

Faced with such capabilities, the expeditionary force urgently needed a "weapon" that could pose an effective threat to them, or even kill them.

At this point, the extraction of "mana," a substance that had been proposed before, came into their view.

"...Two researchers withdrew from the research project, which we can understand. After all, not everyone has the courage to become the second 'Einstein'."

West Coast, underground research lab.

Upon receiving the message, Zhang Longshao rushed to the scene, only to find that the "messenger" from the Main God Space had already arrived and was observing a fully enclosed vacuum device with great interest.

Inside, there was a small mass of matter surrounded by a colorful and dazzling halo.

"Please see, this is 1.2g of 'mana' substance extracted using method number 39 with the help of information provided by this gentleman—please don't get it too close!"

Stopping Zhang Longshao from observing it up close, the researcher explained, "This thing is far more dangerous than it appears. It's no exaggeration to say that if this thing were detonated here, everyone in the entire underground research lab and the base above us, except for the 'messenger,' would be instantly killed."

His body stiffened involuntarily, and after a moment, Zhang Longshao distanced himself. As for the "envoy" who remained standing to the side... In the successive wars, Earth's civilization not only learned of the power of the wizard civilization, but also of the power of this black-robed man who had always stood on Earth's side as a "collaborator."

Although many people are unaware of this person's existence due to intelligence blackouts, it is true that without this "collaborator," Earth's invasion would have ended in failure long ago.

Faced with an individual whose danger level on Earth has risen to the level of an apocalyptic disaster, is there really anything they need to worry about?

Zhang Longshao chose to return to the original topic: "Let's continue, this thing... 'mana' substance can be used as a weapon?"

"The theory is feasible, but the technology we have at present is not mature enough. If we take it out of this container, it will probably blow us up before we even get it near the enemy."

Zhang Longshao frowned: "Isn't there any other way to preserve it?"

"This is still in the experimental stage..." Seeing the displeasure on the face of the commander in charge of the lab's funding, the researcher had to add, "However, we have made a new discovery!"

"About the Wizarding World."

Later, it was from the researcher that Zhang Longshao learned what his so-called discovery was.

"...'Mana' is a special energy particle that can react to mental power. Wizards obtain powerful mental power through meditation or drug stimulation, and then use mental power to manipulate 'mana' to shape it into the form they want, thereby indirectly displaying the various magical abilities we see."

“From this perspective, ‘mana’ is very similar to the universal substance we see. This is why we are able to make it into a ‘reaction bomb’ that is more efficient than nuclear fission. It’s not that we have found a way to control ‘mana’, but simply that we treat it as a kind of ‘explosive’ and it exhibits the corresponding form.”

"As for converting 'mana' into another form... I'm sorry, either we can obtain spiritual power beyond the material world like wizards, or we can obtain another set of complete parameters similar to those provided by the 'messenger'. Otherwise, it's basically impossible. Even the data needed to convert it into nuclear energy is far beyond our capabilities."

Upon learning this news—which was neither good nor bad—that Earth's greatest discovery in the wizarding world could only be used to create weapons of destruction, Zhang Longshao felt quite conflicted.

Just like Einstein's theory of relativity, its first invention known to the world was the nuclear bomb. Before the nuclear bomb was detonated, many people did not even know what the theory of relativity was. Even after that, people's understanding of this theory was mostly based on their knowledge of nuclear weapons.

Isn't that what "mana" is like today?

However, compared to its ability to generate fission reactions in nuclear power plants, this "universal substance" has a much more limited range of applications.

The researcher continued his explanation: "...Through the experimental satellite launched two months ago, we made a strange discovery. Theoretically, this world should be filled with a universal substance called 'mana,' but we unexpectedly noticed a phenomenon from the experimental satellite: outside the atmosphere of this planet, there is no such 'universal substance' called 'mana.'"

Zhang Longshao didn't react for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"On the surface, this doesn't seem like such a noteworthy matter, after all, our battlefield can only be fought on the surface of interest. But what if we combine it with the history recorded by the wizards?"

Level 3 wizard apprentices are merely basic soldiers, while level 3 formal wizards are considered advanced elites. Level 3 star wizards establish wizard towers, activate war fortresses, and lead lower-level wizards to invade and plunder otherworldly realms—they are undoubtedly "leaders." Above them are the Holy Spirits.

The Holy Spirit Wizards, who were forced to leave the wizarding world because they were too powerful.

“Not every world has ‘mana’. Even in the Wizarding World, this universal substance only exists on this planet. Wizards must replenish their ‘mana’ in the Wizarding World for every alien expedition. The energy pool is equivalent to a large battery.”

“We originally thought that those Holy Spirit Wizards left the planet to avoid causing serious damage to the planet’s ecology. After all, with their energy level, they could survive even on a barren planet as long as 'mana' existed. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.”

"In this case, does another planet or world truly exist that can accommodate a Saint-level wizard?"

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 816 You're welcome

Every successful lie is a lie that deceives oneself before deceiving others.

The larger the group, the greater the effect of this theory, but when everyone believes this lie, the lie becomes no different from reality.

……

Wizarding Continent, Central Region.

Tower Alliance.

After the bells rang three times, the wizards entered the tower in twos and threes, waiting for the arrival of the four Sun Gods.

Before long, the Tower Conference resumed, but the number of Star Wizards who were able to attend and were qualified to participate had decreased significantly... The most obvious difference was the missing second seat at the top.

The Tower Alliance has yet to find any trace of the Sun Wizard, Rafer, and it's still unclear whether he's dead or alive.

"The first topic is the extinction events on the West Coast."

"With the help of the wizards, the sea creatures have established a large barrier, which will remain in place until a solution is found. Consequently, the sea creatures will no longer provide any assistance to the wizards, whether in terms of force or resources."

Anyone with eyes to see can see that the sea creatures are merely using this as an excuse to break free from the contract. After all, in the sea creature contract from 20,000 years ago, the sea creatures' stance was that they had to sacrifice everything for the wizard, even if it meant shedding their last drop of blood...

but now……

"next."

Under the orders of the First Seat Sun Wizard, this "rebellion," a event worthy of being recorded in history, seemed to be glossed over lightly.

"The second topic is the invasion of the Nightmare Civilization."

"Following the incident at the Hessex Wizard Tower, we have confirmed that the three Venerable-level Nightmares in the Nightmare World are still alive. Chasilas the Sun Wizard and Red the Sun Wizard are willing to assist the Tower Alliance in resisting the invasion of the Nightmare Civilization, but in exchange, they refuse to participate in the subsequent war on the West Coast."

A commotion arose from below.

The Wizarding Continent's Sun Wizards aren't just limited to the Tower Alliance. Besides the five seats in the Tower Alliance, there are five other Sun Wizards on the Wizarding Continent—a total of ten Sun Wizards. These ten individuals, representing the pinnacle of military power in the wizarding world, rarely communicate. The fact that they are now forced to stand on the same side already indicates the seriousness of the situation, not to mention the "exchange conditions" of these two Sun Wizards…

— Lavrov has fallen.

Although they didn't say it outright, their actions unintentionally revealed this message.

Only the fall of another Sun Wizard would prompt them to take such action. Rather than dealing with an unknown enemy that might possess the means to kill a Sun Wizard, it would be safer to confront the Nightmare directly. Although the latter is indeed more troublesome, and the special nature of spiritual beings means that many spells are ineffective against them, at least there is no risk of death.

Unmoved by the commotion below, Theodore, seated in the first seat, calmly said, "Next."

……

Time passed slowly. As the wizards suffered setbacks on the west coast, the Sun Wizard Rafer disappeared without a trace. After the weakness brought about by the invasion of the Nightmare Civilization and Earth Civilization was exposed, those "hunters" who had once been suppressed by the wizards with force and had to hide in the shadows to catch their breath became restless.

No alien world would dare to challenge a powerful wizarding civilization alone, but a wizarding civilization whose backyard is unstable and has collapsed is a hot commodity that everyone wants a bite of. Even if they fail, aren't there Nightmare Civilization, Earth Civilization and Sea Clan to protect them?

Everyone understands that taking chances is not advisable, but understanding and being able to do it are two different things. At least for the many alien races that have been suppressed by the wizard civilization for 20,000 years, they simply cannot wait another 20,000 years.

……

"The last topic is about the invasion of Earth's civilization."

The tower, which had been somewhat noisy due to the series of bad news, suddenly quieted down, allowing Dinos to clearly state the following words: "...After a vote, His Excellency Theodore, the first seat of the Tower Alliance and the Sun Wizard, has decided to summon the great ninth-level Holy Spirit Wizard."

"—His Holiness Antonio has arrived."

----------segmentation--------

west coast.

Under the bright moonlight, a phantom silhouette suddenly appeared, bowing respectfully to the black-robed figure with his back to it, and speaking in perfect Earth language: "Great King of Another World, the humble Nightmare Adrian offers you his highest respect. Your majesty is like the bright moon in the sky, your figure is like the spine of the world, your power is as deep as the boundless ocean, your..."

A full half hour later.

"...Here, please allow me, the humble Adrian, to plead with you for the location of another wretched nightmare that has offended your majesty through ignorance."

"..."

"..."

"Those words just now stirred up so many people's dreams."

The humanoid figure trembled slightly, then quickly explained, "Great King of the Otherworld, the humble Adrian has not harmed anyone. I merely rummaged through the memories of 130,000 people to find the most fitting words to describe your greatness and compassion. If you feel—"

"It's still alive."

The rest of the words that the nightmare couldn't say stuck in his throat.

Despite having a strong urge to vent, it wouldn't dare to do so even if it had ten times the courage, in front of this being that even the Nightmare Venerable had warned it to be careful about.

It's important to understand that this being from another realm easily caused the disappearance of a second-ranked Sun Wizard. Moreover, he allowed his subordinates to wipe out a quarter of the wizarding world's seas without facing any punishment, and was even won over by the sea creatures.

If it were killed for angering the other party, the Black Lord would probably not stand up for it at all, but would instead praise its straightforward and unpretentious character—no doubt, such distortion of the truth is commonplace for Nightmare.

"Great King of the Otherworld, may I ask where Lord Mavis is currently located...?"

"right here."

Lin Yi pulled open a portal directly from the H-84 folded space, his tone calm: "It wanted to seek greater power, and I granted its wish."

"A more powerful force."

The Nightmare, now in human form, swallowed hard, seemingly somewhat tempted: "Great King of the Otherworld, may I see Lord Mavis? Of course, it offended you and deserves your punishment, which the Black Heaven Venerable has no objection to. However, there are some things it didn't explain before it left..."

"If you want to ask anything, just go in and you'll find out. You might even gain greater power inside."

Adrian seemed quite conflicted, and after a long pause, he said, "In that case, thank you for your kindness—"

Suddenly turning around, the spiritual entity instantly teleported tens of thousands of meters, then charged headlong towards—

"What——???!!!"

Lin Yi closed the portal expressionlessly, saying calmly, "You're welcome."
