"But here, everything is fresh. What we will encounter is unknown, so we are deeply in love with it." Suddenly, an old man in the exploration team with a white beard said, "We are back in nature's embrace here. The man-made outside world is nothing in comparison." Mitch glanced at the old man and introduced, "This is Vernon. He's the eldest in our team, and he's in charge of navigating our team. You should know that people get lost in this forest easily, so we need a good navigator. Navigation between two points is relative, so we need a professional to do this for us, and Vernon is the right person for that." Vernon nodded at Wilbur and said, "Hello, young man. I see bravery and passion in you. Good luck and keep improving. I believe you'll reach your goal one day." Wilbur nodded and said, "Thanks, Vernon. Actually, I would like to say that it's very common to get lost in the forest. A person who is familiar with navigation is the core of an exploration team." "Ha." Sudden
Vernon said after a long silence, "Mitch, you shouldn't talk to Veda in that tone. You know Veda and his temper. He's impatient, but he has done a lot for us." "Don't worry, Vernon. I'll give Veda his share when we find that box of gold." "Yeah." Vernon nodded and did not speak again. Wilbur followed behind and watched the team silently. He felt slightly scared. Vernon and the others only made it as far as five kilometers in the forest. It was an insignificant distance for a forest that covered an area of ten thousand square kilometers. Moreover, the record for the furthest travel was only ten kilometers. It was almost the limit for the explorers. Even then, ten kilometers were also insignificant in comparison to the entire forest. The treasure Mitch knew about was in the depths of the forest. It was almost not humanly possible to reach there. It surpassed the human limits, but the exploration team did not seem to care. They seemed determined to find the treasure, so they
Therefore, Wilbur could only say, "Alright, forgive my rudeness. I'll keep this a secret." Vernon put his dagger aside, then told Mitch, "Alright, Mitch, let him go. I trust that he will keep this a secret." Mitch let go of Wilbur, then pulled Vernon to the front as they whispered something. They spoke quietly, but as a cultivator, Wilbur had a keen hearing, thus he overheard their entire conversation clearly. "Vernon, this guy is not trustworthy. I think we have to move our plan forward." "We know that the treasure is in Vicente Primeval Forest, but we know nothing about its location. Perhaps it's meaningless to move the plan forward." "It's alright. I believe we will find the treasure." … Wilbur did not know what the treasure meant to Mitch and the others. Perhaps it was their faith to keep living. People encounter troubles in their lives, after all. Those who were desperate would go on a desperate path.However, most nations would offer some sort of assistance for the
Wilbur had never planned on leaving the forest. Now that Mitch had given him a chance, Wilbur naturally seized it. Mitch feigned surprise and said, "What? You want to keep going? Do you know how dangerous it is in there? Listen, you're still too young. Don't take unnecessary risks. Two kilometers is enough distance for you to brag about to others." "Sorry, I really want to give it another try. After all, look, I've already made preparations for this trip. These pants are really sturdy. Ordinary bloodsucking bugs can't bite through it." Vernon said, "Do you really insist on continuing alone?" Wilbur replied, "Yes, but I might not be able to drive you back to the city." "It's okay. We can get a taxi to head back. Just be very careful when exploring the forest alone." "Got it." Mitch and the others bid farewell to Wilbur and left. Wilbur took out his compass and continued forward, quickly entering the depths of the forest. "Boss, that guy really went right in." Mitch sneer
These bloodsucking bugs flapped their wings and flew toward Wilbur at an incredible speed. The dense swarm of bugs covered Wilbur's body like bees. Even so, countless more bugs continued to fly out from the layers of fallen leaves. Soon, these bloodsucking bugs clung to Wilbur, forming a large sphere around him. In the next second, a black sphere appeared, rapidly expanding and killing the bugs. Wilbur retracted the black aura after pushing them back, but right after that, countless more bloodsucking bugs flew toward him. Wilbur once again created a black shield with the power of destruction, a spherical barrier that surrounded him. The bugs outside continuously crashed against the shield and were shattered into pieces, scattering all over the ground. As the number of dead bugs on the ground increased, Wilbur finally noticed something amiss. Even though this area could have bloodsucking bugs, it was impossible for there to be so many. This indicated that these bugs must be comi
Wilbur took a few steps back on the layer of fallen leaves. When he took another look at it, a golden light appeared on the golden formation. As the light dissipated, a figure emerged in front of him. The man was wearing a set of black armor and holding a black axe. He had a handsome face, fair skin, and dark lips, giving an impression of arrogance when he smiled. Wilbur looked at the man who had suddenly appeared and asked, "Who are you?" The man replied, "Are Fremont's chosen one? I can sense the dragon aura within you. This energy is quite strong, indicating that you have obtained the eighth dragon cauldron." "Who are you?" "Calm down. I am also a cultivator like you. Years ago, I was severely injured and almost died. It was Fremont who saved me and assigned me to guard the ninth dragon cauldron here. A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. I thought Fremont's chosen one would never appear, but it seems I was wrong. You have indeed appeared." Wilbur looked at
"The team that entered with you consists of eight people. They have all failed in life for various reasons and have almost reached the end of their wits. Now, they have learned that there is a treasure in the Vicente Primeval Forest. As long as they find the treasure, they will obtain a chest full of gold. This is their last hope to survive. I need you to help them, guide them out of their despair, and lead them here to find the treasure in this forest." Wilbur said, "That's easy. Why not tell me the content of the second test as well?" "It's not that easy," Josie replied, casting a strange glance at Wilbur. "It's easy for one person to escape despair because true despair doesn't exist in this world. True despair exists in people's hearts. Once someone falls into it, it's very difficult for them to escape. I want you to help all eight of them escape the despair in their hearts. Only then will you have passed the test." "That's easy too." Wilbur said confidently, "As long as I h
"Josie!" Wilbur still wanted to ask more, but unfortunately, Josie had already left. He sighed and thought back on Josie's words. For those eight people to give up the gold, they would need to find something more valuable than gold. Wilbur muttered to himself, "Something more valuable than gold… could it be life?" Wilbur fell into deep thought. Indeed, life was more valuable than gold. However, Mitch and his team were clearly in despair. Living in such a state, even if given life, even if Wilbur saved them a hundred times from danger, might not change their mindset. Mitch and his team had reached a dead end in life. Unless their lives improved and they each found what they considered most valuable, they would not give up the gold. After all, for anyone, besides life, the most valuable thing was probably what they personally deemed the most precious. Since everyone's life experiences were different, their mindsets would be different as well. After some thought, Wilbur knew
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
