The old man got to his feet, tossing the ring back into the water as Miller shrugged, saying, "What a shame. But there's also good in keeping a memory deep in your heart." Wilbur was about to leave as he had told the old man, who walked Wilbur all the way out of the forest with Miller. Wilbur waved goodbye, saying, "Sir, Commander Miller, goodbye." "I hope to see you again, but I hope you won't call me Commander Miller then," said Miller. "Alright. You don't belong here, and it's time you returned to your world," said the old man. Wilbur turned and headed into the forest. He did not run into the cultivator before this time, and it only took him an hour to get out. He was surprised by this and clenched his right fist. "I guess I really did get stronger." Before he left, Wilbur took one last look at the forest. Despite not knowing what the mysterious energy surrounding Gelsa was, he was grateful for the growth this trip had brought him. It was seven in the evening by the time
Wilbur did not want the Dark Lord to destroy this dimension just to return to his middle dimension. Thus, Wilbur would not hesitate to battle against the Dark Lord if it really came down to that. He was going to protect this world even if it meant sacrificing himself. He was so close to collecting all nine dragon cauldrons, and Wilbur was practically dying to know the secret of the dragon clan and get the support of the upper dimensions. Just then, Perry spoke through the phone, "You might have found eight of the cauldrons, Wilbur, but you're only halfway there. Back when the Nine Dragon Cauldron was first made, Senior Fremont did not want it to be easily found. So, he broke the cauldron into nine pieces, hiding them in different places until the chosen one went to look for them." "What?" Wilbur was shocked. "The ninth dragon cauldron is broken, and into nine pieces too?" "Yes, but don't you panic. Senior Fremont made the ninth dragon cauldron, and he can destroy them just a
Wilbur took the Nine Dragons Painting out, inspecting the nine dragons on it closely, soon enough, he saw that the dragon at the top of the painting had half its body hidden in the clouds, only showing its claws and tail. Wilbur went online at once in search of information on Senior Fremont but found that there was next to no information on him aside from a few lines describing the Nine Dragons Painting and the creation of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons. All nine dragons in the painting were in different states. The sixth dragon was on the ocean, and Wilbur had found the sixth dragon cauldron at sea. The eighth dragon cauldron had been found in the merfolk realm, and there was a shadow of a volcano above the eighth dragon in the painting. Mount Taite had been the entrance to the merfolk realm, and Wilbur and the old man had entered it through the bottom of the lake at the peak of Mount Taite. Wilbur realized then that the locations of the first eight Dragon Cauldrons were reflected
Wilbur was excited, exclaiming, "How did you get it so fast this time?" Layla explained to Wilbur that she had developed special resource search software after learning he was searching for the Nine Dragon Cauldrons. The software could hack into encrypted databases of major websites and automatically search for information, eventually finding the desired answer. "Well done," Wilbur praised. After the call ended, Layla sent the information about Fremont to Wilbur's phone. Wilbur checked his phone and found it also included a detailed description of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons' forging methods. It listed the bronze collection sites for each cauldron, from the first cauldron to the ninth cauldron. For the first cauldron to the eighth cauldron, the copper ore used was from copper mines within the Dasha region. However, the combination of copper used was from nine different mines for the Ninth Cauldron. Seven of these copper mines were within Dasha, but two were from foreign
Most of the buildings in Anderson Town were abandoned, with some in complete ruins. These structures had witnessed the rise and fall of the Ezekiel Mine, and when the mine closed, the people left them behind. Walking through the alleys, Wilbur brushed his hand against the crumbling walls of these dilapidated buildings, feeling a wave of inexplicable sadness. For a moment, he seemed to see the miners who had labored here, shedding sweat and blood over the centuries. Tears rolled down his cheeks, and Wilbur froze. He stopped in his tracks, looking at his damp hand in shock as he murmured, "I-I actually cried.” Wilbur sensed a unique feeling he had never experienced. It was a profound empathy for the Dasha workers who lived here. This feeling made him empathize deeply, yet he could not pinpoint its source. The sudden surge of emotion seemed to grant Wilbur a special energy, filling him with strength. "Is this… the power of light?" Wilbur opened his right hand, and a wh
"Oh, you must be from out of town," the elderly woman said, glancing at Wilbur as she continued knitting. "The Ezekiel Mine has been closed for a decade. It used to be a thriving site, with up to ten thousand workers coming here annually. But that's all history now." "What? Ten thousand workers at the Ezekiel Mine? But it's such a small mine," Wilbur exclaimed in surprise. "That's right. It is a small mine. Initially, there were only a few hundred workers, and later, it grew to a few thousand. But life is not all about working and surviving. People need to rest, and they have a life outside of work. So, many people set up shops to supply goods and services to the workers. As more people settled here, the town naturally boomed further." She paused for a moment, then added, "However, not everyone came here to work in the mine. Many came for trade, providing basic necessities to those living here." Wilbur understood what the woman meant and asked, "So, at its peak, how many work
Wilbur was taken aback because he had never lived there, but it seemed that the people who came to Anderson Town over the years mainly were those who had once lived there. Wilbur replied, "That's right, but there's something I'm curious about. Besides people who used to live here, has no one else come to visit?" The lady shrugged and replied, "Over the past ten years, many people have come to Anderson Town, but they were all former residents, returning to revisit their memories. Other than that, no one else comes here. After all, Anderson Town is a remote place that's easy to forget." "An easy place to forget?" Wilbur pondered as he returned to his room, replaying her words in his mind. If everything she said was true, why did Fremont use copper ore from the Ezekiel Mine? Besides, Wilbur had researched online and found that many closed copper mines worldwide had become tourist attractions. These sites drew numerous visitors annually, and guides recounted their rich histor
"Dragon aura… Just as I thought," Wilbur murmured, looking at the first cauldron. Sure enough, the miners' hard work and resilience had indeed converged to form a dragon aura. The first cauldron sensed this powerful dragon aura and began absorbing its energy. Golden light started to emanate from the first cauldron, flickering and fusing into tiny golden particles, which were then absorbed by the cauldron. A figure in black, Raymond, witnessed the scene from afar. He stared at Wilbur before turning and leaving the area. In a dark underground chamber, an old man named Barker was reclining on a chair, his feet immersed in a basin of thick, black liquid to absorb its energy. Raymond knelt on one knee, hands clasped in respect, and reported, "Sir, Fremont's chosen one has arrived." "What?" Barker slowly opened his eyes. "Are you sure?" "Absolutely," Raymond replied. "I just saw him outside with the first cauldron, absorbing the dragon aura from the Ezekiel Mine." Barker
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
