"That's right. A lot of cultivators knew about the secrets of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons. Some of them died while searching for the cauldrons, but the smart ones hid themselves and observed in the dark. They will steal it when someone obtains a cauldron, so the cauldron won't belong to you even if you found it if you can't fight against them." Wilbur fell into silence. There were a lot of cultivators, after all. Wilbur was powerful, but he knew that they were a lot of cultivators hiding in the dark. Although they did not challenge him, it did not mean that they were inferior to him. He feared that he would not be able to secure the eighth dragon cauldron if they decided to intervene. The old man said, "In this world, it's the survival of the fittest, and humans can be greedy. You will be targeted if you have something they don't. If you're not powerful enough to protect what you own, it will eventually fall into the hands of others. You might even die in the process. So, you should
Wilbur abruptly stopped when he heard that. He clenched his jaw and looked back at the old man. He suppressed his anger and turned back, saying, "I'm begging you, sir. Please tell me where the eighth cauldron is." "So, you really want to know where the eighth cauldron is? Alright. Wait here." Wilbur waited for a minute. Suddenly, the float on the water's surface moved. The old man pulled on the fishing rod, and he dragged out a carp that was around three kilograms. The carp thrashed about on the ice. Loud, audible smacks could be heard from the ice. The old man sat there as if he was not in a hurry to kill the fish. He looked at Wilbur and said, "Go and grab the fish. If you can grab the fish, I'll tell you where the eighth dragon cauldron is." "Alright, sir. You said it, so don't blame me for it." Wilbur walked towards the carp and bent down to grab the fish. The old man said, "Hold on, I forgot to tell you. Just like the usual rules, you can't use spiritual energy or other
It proved that the axe was moved solely with the old man's strength. The old man looked weak with white hair, and he must be at least eighty years old. Wilbur did not expect him to chop the wood in halves with just one swing. "You're not angry at me now, are you?" "No, I won't be angry at you. I know that I'm not good enough." Wilbur's resentment vanished at that moment. He did not know how an old man who was at least eighty years old could chop the wood in half with pure physical strength. However, it happened right before his eyes. If the old man could do it, surely he could do the same. Wilbur realized that finding the eighth dragon cauldron would not be an easy task. Since the old man was willing to help him, he should not complain. For the next two weeks, Wilbur practiced chopping wood daily. Two weeks later, Wilbur forcefully swung the ax, and he finally split the wood in half. "I did it! Sir, I did it!" Wilbur picked up the wood and ran toward Lake Brant excitedly. T
Wilbur spent an hour making a fishing rod. He tossed the bait into the water, and soon, there was movement on his float. Wilbur tugged on the rod and heard a loud snap. His fishing rod was snapped in half. "You have to put effort into everything you do, otherwise, nothing will be successful." Wilbur went to look for fishing rod materials again. He spent a day crafting a fishing rod instead. It was dark outside when he looked up again. He was not in a hurry to fish, and he meditated in his room instead. The old man saw that Wilbur was meditating without a hurry, so he nodded and felt very glad. The next morning, Wilbur followed the old man to Lake Brant to fish. Wilbur waited for two hours. Finally, the float moved. A carp that was around two kilograms was dragged out of the water. Wilbur bent down to grab the carp, but it was very slippery. Wilbur tried over ten times, but he still could not grab hold of the fish. In the end, he got too frustrated and tossed the carp back int
The old man had tears in his eyes as he replied, "That's right. The merfolk caused the flood. Merfolk are brutal in nature, and they wanted to take over this place. The old man sighed as he spoke as if he was reliving those old memories again. He fell silent for a while, then he said, "If I knew about the secret of the merfolk back then, I think the people of Gelsa wouldn't have died. Jenny wouldn't need to die either. It's a shame that it's all too late now. Jenny won't come back to life again, and I'll never leave Gelsa." Wilbur could understand the old man. The flood was a traumatic moment in his heart, after all. Regardless of who caused it, the people of Gelsa were dead and injured in the end. The whole town was submerged. It was a deep trauma that the old man could not let go of even after decades had passed. "I once swore that no one would know my name again, so I didn't tell you when you asked my name. In fact, the merfolk had been living under Gelsa Lake after Gelsa was
"What?" Wilbur was astonished when he heard the old man's words. He said, "Sir, are you asking me to go down to Lake Gelsa and snatch Jenny back from the hands of the merfolk?" "Exactly, that's what I mean." Upon hearing this, Wilbur said with a hint of frustration, "But this matter has nothing to do with the eighth dragon cauldron. Aren't you making things difficult for me intentionally?" The old man did not answer directly. Instead, after a moment of silence, he turned to look at the swirling snow outside and said, "If you feel troubled, you can leave. I won't stop you. Remember, no matter when you decide to leave, I won't stop you. Because I'm not begging you." "Okay." Wilbur did not argue back and just agreed to the old man's request. After all, after more than a month of contact, Wilbur had already understood the old man's character. The old man never went back on any decision he made and also proved that everything went just as he said it would. "However, I have a q
Jenny's body was in the church in the depths of Lake Gelsa. Because the merfolk swam extremely quickly, he would need to kill all of the merfolk if he wanted to bring Jenny's corpse out. Fortunately, the merfolk had an unchangeable characteristic—their aggressive nature. As long as enemies appeared, they would inevitably approach. At that time, as long as Wilbur used the terrain to his advantage, he could kill them one by one. The old man taught Wilbur a few simple movements with the harpoon, and Wilbur quickly learned them. After dark, the old man took Wilbur to the surface of Lake Gelsa, where snow was blowing everywhere. Then, he forcefully broke open a hole in the ice and said, "Alright, go down." "Okay." Wilbur nodded at the old man, then leaped into the lake and submerged. Wilbur immediately released his dragon aura. With that, Wilbur could sense everything within a radius of twenty meters with his dragon aura. As long as any merfolk appeared within twenty meters, Wil
However, right at that moment, there was a loud rumbling. The two iron gates that were in front and behind the church were locked shut. Immediately, from a hole above him, merfolk began rushing into the church. Every merfolk that rushed into the church immediately avoided Wilbur. In no time, more than a dozen merfolk rushed into the church. These merfolk surrounded Wilbur from all directions, pointing their harpoons at him, preparing for the final attack. One merfolk's lips moved, murmuring something, and in an instant, all the merfolk raised the harpoons in their hands and thrust them toward Wilbur. At the same time, Wilbur chanted a spell, and a colorful flow of light appeared above his head, activating the Dragon's Safehaven. The next moment, the harpoons struck the Dragon's Safehaven and were all bounced off. These merfolk quickly raised their harpoons again and rushed forward. When they repeatedly found that they could not harm Wilbur at all, these merfolk became furious, em
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
