Chapter 328: The War that Engulfs the Multiverse

Chapter 328: The War that Engulfs the Multiverse

January 12th, 2025

In the spacious and bright study of the Central Crystal Tower in Starlight Sky City, a faint fragrance permeated the air.

Sunan sat at his desk, reviewing the documents in his hands. After a moment, he put them down and smiled at Lizai, "It seems like the plane exploration is going well."

Lizai smiled and replied, "After all, we have the Floating City."

Since the completion of the Starlight Sky City, the Star Alliance's plane exploration efforts had been proceeding smoothly.

Sunan had granted Lizai partial authority over the Starlight Sky City. When he was not on the Xing Guang Continent, Lizai could temporarily control the city and travel to other planes for warfare.

The Floating City of the Wizard Civilization was renowned throughout the multiverse.

Often, upon seeing the Floating City, the indigenous civilizations of those planes would surrender in despair.

As for those indigenous civilizations that had never even heard of the Floating City, their strength was not formidable enough to pose a challenge, and the Star Alliance could easily handle them without the need for the Floating City.

Additionally, when encountering other factions vying for the same plane, those factions would often back down upon learning that their opponent was the Star Alliance.

It could be said that in the current multiverse, aside from a few major Wizard factions and a small number of high-level and supreme Deity civilizations, the Star Alliance no longer had to fear any other power, possessing the strength and influence to surpass most other factions.

And this trend showed no signs of slowing down, especially with the recent explosive news spreading far and wide.

"How is the situation in the Realm of Truth?" Lizai asked curiously.

"The situation has temporarily stabilized," Sunan smiled and said, "We seized the initiative with the newly discovered permanent Law Node. Those Deities no longer have a chance to interfere, and the Wizards won't give them the opportunity."

"As for the Wizards, the Codex of Wisdom, being in the right, has also firmly grasped control over the permanent Law Node ahead of other Wizard factions."

After dealing with Jude and the others, the reinforcements from the Codex of Wisdom arrived at the permanent Law Node.

Moreover, they even dispatched a Sixth Rank Wizard! After that, despite other Wizard factions' True Spirit Wizards gradually learning of the situation and arriving one after another, they could only stand by and watch in the face of a Domination Rank True Spirit Wizard.

"This newly discovered permanent Law Node is not small in scale and can accommodate up to fourteen True Spirit Wizards for cultivation simultaneously."

"According to the agreement, the Codex of Wisdom occupies seven slots, the Star Alliance has four, Abyss Dawn and Sky Ravens each have one, and the remaining two are allocated to the Star Spirit Clock Tower and the Deep Blue Alliance."

"In return, they must help the Codex of Wisdom withstand the pressure from other Black Wizard factions."

Sunan was quite satisfied with this outcome.

In fact, if it weren't for the Star Alliance's recent completion of the Floating City, which significantly enhanced their strength, and Sunan's battle where he slew multiple powerful opponents, including the Fire Mane King and Jude, the Star Alliance might not have secured four slots.

Just look at Abyss Dawn and Sky Ravens, who, despite being discoverers, only obtained one slot each.

In the multiverse, strength ultimately prevails.

It's a world where the strong thrive and the weak are prey, a principle vividly demonstrated in the Wizard world.

Take the Star Spirit Clock Tower and the Deep Blue Alliance, for example; they did nothing in this incident and were merely roped in to form an alliance to counter the covetousness of Black Wizard factions. The Codex of Wisdom and the Star Alliance had no choice but to concede two slots.

Nevertheless, this development was a significant boon for the Star Alliance and Sunan.

With the cultivation slots at the permanent Law Node, Sunan no longer needed to travel far and wide in search of temporary Law Nodes, and his efficiency in comprehending Laws would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"With the support of the Law Node, it will take me at most three to four centuries to elevate the Thunder Law to the Manipulation Rank, after which I can focus on comprehending the Gravitational Law."

Sunan thought to himself.

As for the remaining three slots, since the Star Alliance currently lacked a second True Spirit Wizard, they couldn't utilize them yet.

However, just because the Star Alliance couldn't use them didn't mean they would go to waste.

Sunan could lease these slots to True Spirit Wizards from other Wizard factions, and there would undoubtedly be many willing to pay the price for a cultivation slot at a permanent Law Node.

Snapping back to the present, Sunan asked, "Has there been any news from the Shadow Throne?"

The Shadow Throne had lost four Crown Wizards in the Realm of Truth, which was a significant blow even for a powerful organization like them.

Black Wizard factions were known for their vengeful nature, and it was highly unlikely that the Shadow Throne would let this go.

"There's no sign of any activity for now.

Lizai shook her head.

Sunan contemplated for a moment and said, "Keep a close eye on that side and be prepared."

The loss of four True Spirit Wizards at once would undoubtedly have a significant impact, and the most immediate consequence would be within the Realm of Truth. The power guarding the Law Node would surely create a vacuum, and the Shadow Throne was likely in a frenzy, dealing with this matter.

Even if they wanted to retaliate, it would probably be a later concern.

Sunan wasn't overly worried.

Although Jude and the others were likely targeting the Star Alliance, the Crown Wizard's killers weren't limited to the Star Alliance alone. There was also the Codex of Wisdom and two other Wizard factions.

With the Codex of Wisdom, a powerful force, at the forefront, the pressure on the Star Alliance would undoubtedly be much less.

The emergence of a new permanent Law Node caused a significant stir among the Wizards.

As the second-largest beneficiary of this incident, after the Codex of Wisdom, the Star Alliance once again caught the attention of various Wizard factions, further enhancing its reputation.

To some extent, the Star Alliance gained more benefits than the Codex of Wisdom.

After all, the Codex of Wisdom already held multiple permanent Law Node cultivation positions, and the addition of seven more positions didn't significantly impact its advantage.

However, the Star Alliance was different. As a newly emerged power that had risen not long ago, its foundation couldn't be considered profound.

At this time, gaining four additional permanent Law Node cultivation positions would undoubtedly bring immense benefits.

Whether used for their own cultivation or traded for resources, it would grant the Star Alliance tremendous advantages.

It would also serve as a significant boost to the Star Alliance's future development.

With this, the Star Alliance's potential in the eyes of others rose even higher.

While the outside world was in an uproar over the permanent Law Node incident, one of the involved parties, Sunan, remained oblivious to the world outside his window, fully immersed in his cultivation.

With the boost from the permanent Law Node, Sunan's comprehension of the Law surged dramatically.

Lightstar Calendar 4858.

Following the Gravitational Law, Sunan's Thunder Law finally reached the 100th energy level, advancing to the Manipulation Rank.

Inside a stone tower, over ten meters tall, located in the wilderness where the permanent Law Node resided.

Sunan sat cross-legged, concentrating and sensing the vibrant Thunder Law power in the void.

Similar to his previous breakthrough in the Gravitational Law, at the moment his energy level reached 100, he distinctly felt the subtle barrier between his True Spirit and the Thunder Law in the void dissipate, and the connection between the two deepened instantly.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Sunan's mind, and in an instant, within a radius of several kilometers around him, the void crackled with blinding thunderbolts, like ferocious dragons with bared fangs and claws, filling every corner of the surrounding area.

In Sunan's perception, in that instant, the Laws within the several-kilometer radius were largely expelled, leaving only the Thunder Law.

Thunder Law Domain.

The second Law Domain that Sunan mastered, following the Gravitational Law Domain.

Immediately after, a faint glow flashed through Sunan's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the raging thunderbolts around him suddenly stalled, as if an invisible heavy pressure had been added to the void, slowly merging with the thunder, tinting the dazzling lightning with a subdued dark blue hue.

Dual Law Domain!

A brand-new Law Domain formed by merging the Gravitational Law Domain and the Thunder Law Domain.

Within this domain, all Laws except the Gravitational Law and Thunder Law would be repelled.

Moreover, Sunan's enemies would simultaneously be suppressed and harmed by both the Gravitational Law and the Thunder Law.

Its power was far greater than that of a single Law Domain!

This was the primary reason why the combat strength of Dual Law True Spirit Wizards far surpassed that of ordinary True Spirit Wizards!

A satisfied smile appeared on Sunan's face.

With his current abilities, he was confident that even if he encountered the Fire Whisker King again, he could engage in battle without relying on the Law Core, solely relying on the Dual Law Domain.

[This chapter is incomplete and ends abruptly.]



This was the case even though his Thunder Law was only at the 100th energy level, and his Gravitational Law was at the 106th energy level.

If he could raise both Laws to around the 200th energy level, he was confident he could easily defeat the Fire Whisker King.

"The advantage of Dual Law True Spirit Wizards over ordinary True Spirit Wizards becomes more significant as they progress."

"Although the initial breakthrough and advancement are more challenging, the rewards afterward are substantial."

"Next, I'll focus on enhancing the Gravitational Law."

While it's possible to improve both Laws simultaneously, doing so would slow down the rate of strength increase.

Sunan's plan was still to focus on enhancing the Gravitational Law, breaking through to the Dominion Rank, and then turning to improve the Thunder Law to maximize efficiency.

With this thought, Sunan flipped his wrist, and in an instant, a dazzling crystal appeared in his palm.

It was the Divine Spirit of the Fire Whisker King!

As the one who contributed the most in the battle against the Fire Whisker King, Sunan rightfully obtained the Divine Spirit and Divine Body of the Fire Whisker King, while the remaining Divine Power was divided among Mai Ya and the other two.

The Divine Body was refined by him into the third Divine Body Golem.

As for the Divine Spirit, Sunan specifically kept it to comprehend the Gravitational Law.

The Fire Whisker King was much stronger than the Spider Goddess and the New Moon Goddess, and the power of the Law within its Divine Spirit was naturally more robust.

Sunan estimated that this Divine Spirit could last for at least seven to eight hundred years, and with the boost from the permanent Law Node, it would be enough to push his Gravitational Law level above 300.

"However, even with the assistance of the permanent Law Node, it will likely take six to seven thousand years to elevate the Gravitational Law to the Dominion Rank."

This was still the case with Sunan's advantages of the Light Awakening Potion and Synthetic Law Power.

For other True Spirit Wizards, it might take two to three million years to advance a Rule-based Law from the Manipulation Rank to the Dominion Rank.

Shaking his head, Sunan cleared his mind of distractions and continued to focus on comprehending the Law.

Time passed without notice, and three hundred years went by in his cultivation.

During this period, except for occasional breaks to rest and upgrade the Starlight Sky City, Sunan devoted almost all his energy to comprehending the Law.

It wasn't until a sudden event interrupted his seclusion.

"The Ancient Insect invasion?"

In the study, after listening to Lizai's narration, Sunan's expression became solemn.

"That's right."

Lizai's face was serious.

"Not long ago, traces of the Ancient Insects were discovered in the Baikal Plane and the Barton Plane. These insect beasts established nests and hatched larvae in both planes. Fortunately, we had the monitoring network of the Star's Eye in all planes, allowing us to detect and eliminate the insect nests in advance, preventing the Ancient Insects from growing stronger."

"And it's not just us; traces of the Ancient Insects have also been found within the territories of other Wizard factions."

Lizai couldn't help but feel perplexed.

Usually, if a civilization wanted to invade and expand its territory, it would only target a specific plane or a single faction.

The Ancient Insects' simultaneous invasion of hundreds of planes and multiple faction territories was akin to madness.

Sunan, however, wasn't surprised.

In fact, the Ancient Insects were a race that only knew aggression and slaughter.

They didn't bother with strategies but followed their instincts to invade planes and devour all life they encountered.

The critical point was the astonishingly vast scale of the Ancient Insect race, which could fully support such multi-front warfare.

In fact, Sunan suspected that the Ancient Insects might not be native to this universe but from another multiverse.

Otherwise, it was hard to explain why, with their enormous population, they had gone unnoticed until now.

"What's the situation now?" Sunan asked.

"We're still gathering intelligence from other factions, but on the Wizard side, several Secondary Wizard Factions have already lost a significant portion of their territories to the Ancient Insects."

Lizai's brows furrowed, and her face showed concern.

The current situation undoubtedly confirmed Sunan's previous description of the Ancient Insects.

According to Sunan, the current invasion was just a probing attack by the Ancient Insects, and the main force had yet to arrive.

When the Ancient Insects launched their full-scale offensive, it would likely be a mega-war spanning the entire multiverse!

After a moment of thought, Sunan had a plan.

"Continue gathering intelligence."

"Increase the garrison in all planes, strengthen the alert, and be ready to eliminate invading Ancient Insects at any time."

"Also, increase the supply of resources as much as possible."

At this moment, probably only Sunan and Lizai in the entire multiverse knew that this mysterious invasion would expand to such an extent in the future.

This was their advantage.

While the war hadn't escalated, they should stockpile as many resources as possible and prepare thoroughly for the war, ensuring a stronger position in the future conflict.

The Ancient Insect invasion, affecting the entire multiverse, would inevitably change the existing power dynamics.

Even powerful Major Wizard Factions might not be able to avoid falling from grace in this fierce war.

At that time, the Star Alliance might have the opportunity to rise and take their place!
