'What gives the lake its energy and motion is the energy source, and the difference between source and output lies in its special aura. That aura is similar to the mouth of a spring or fountain—slow, steady, and never-ending.' Wilbur's eyes flew open at once. "Slow, steady, and never-ending!" Wilbur understood then that the source of a formation was the part of it that had the most vigor. Despite there being multiple dimensions spinning in front of him, Wilbur could distinctly feel each of the golden auras. It was not long before Wilbur found the strongest stripes, and he leaped out. Fine golden lines appeared in front of him like threads of a web as Wilbur dodged them left and right, finally coming up to the aura he had chosen. The next second, Wilbur swung the thunder cleaver down. The golden aura shattered with a loud crack, disappearing into a cloud of shimmering dust as the view before Wilbur began to melt away. It was not long before he returned to Rindo Mine once more an
Wilbur ended the call, letting out a long breath. In his search for the fourth dragon cauldron fragment, Wilbur had encountered the Night Demons, the Satan Robot, and the formation at Rindo Mine. All of Wilbur's experiences here in Kosanto seemed to be far more severe than what he had encountered elsewhere, as well as being far more complicated. The formation at Rindo Mine even turned out to be a dimensional one. Thankfully, everything was over now. All Wilbur wanted to do right then was to get back to Diseya and figure out the difference between the two formations in Bangsai so he could locate the source of the golden formation's energy and cut it off. The golden formation would be drained with no energy source, and Wilbur would get the fourth dragon cauldron fragment. The pale blue formation could stay in Bangsai and continue providing the people there with a steady supply of water. It was dawn by the time Wilbur returned to Diseya, and the sun was well on its way into the sk
Wilbur fell silent at the thought. He thought that the Rindo Mine incident had nothing to do with these two formations, but it would be impossible to explain the shift in the pale blue formation's aura here otherwise. Besides, the formation in Rindo Mine was a dimensional one connected to the upper dimensions. It was definitely not a formation that a regular cultivator could make. It had to be the work of an upper dimension cultivator who was also somehow related to the dragon clan. Despite the questions Wilbur had, that was the truth of the matter. Either way, he now had the fourth dragon cauldron fragment and could finally draw an end to his time in Kosanto. Wilbur released his spirit sense into the cauldron fragment at once and was able to read the message on it in no time. He put the cauldron fragment away and came to the parking lot to say goodbye to Arsi. However, Arsi was nowhere to be found. Wilbur smiled and got into the car to drive out of Diseya. Wilbur returned to
Skermann was located by the Gulf Coast that was riddled with war all the time, and the dozen or so countries surrounding it had been going at it for decades now. Thus, the wealthier citizens and businessmen would usually put their trading resources in Skermann. That basically made Skermann the central hub for all its neighboring countries' resources, which explained why it was far more developed than other nations in comparison. Skermann being a part of the Gulf Coast should have made it one of the warring countries, but that was not the case. The neighboring countries needed somewhere to store their resources, and the people of Skermann were also avid advocates for peace and heavily disliked engaging in war. Thus, Skermann had somehow become an important neutral nation on the Gulf Coast. The conflict between the surrounding countries was usually over profit and gain, and the endless wars that happened on the Gulf Coast only further proved this point. Wilbur was far from interested
"Thank you." Wilbur smiled at the old man in appreciation. Despite hearing the clear answer, he still refused to believe it and asked the townsfolk another few streets down. Sure enough, the old man was right. It was impossible for any road in Wendis to be built facing the sea. However, that was what Wilbur had seen through the fourth dragon cauldron fragment. Could he have remembered the wrong thing? He was certain about the location being Wendis for sure. Was it possible that he had made a mistake and the roads in the cauldron fragment had not been facing the sea? Wilbur returned to the hotel and entered the fourth dragon cauldron fragment with his spirit sense. However, he had already done this once before and the message left on the fragment had disappeared for good after being read once. There was no way he would be able to re-read that message now. At the same time, the image in Wilbur's head grew clearer and clearer. He was certain that the roads he had seen were
Wilbur, being out of ideas, was drawn to the mirage at once. Upon taking a closer look, the page said that mirages were common occurrences in Wendis. In fact, there were records of it appearing eighty-nine times in a single year. Practically anyone living in Wendis would have seen a mirage before. It was not really a big deal as mirages were usually formed by a reflection of sun rays. Wilbur flipped to a page recollecting a rather special mirage. It was said that thirty years ago, there had been a mirage on the waters along Wendis reflecting the town itself. However, no one knew why the mirage had even appeared. There were two sketches on the page. One was of the map of the town, and the other was of the suspended mirage of Wendis. Wilbur's gaze landed on the mirage of Wendis and was immediately stunned by what he saw. All the roads in the mirage of Wendis seen in the sketch were facing the ocean. "I found it!" Wilbur cried out excitedly, causing the people around him to whip
Wilbur held back a laugh. "It's alright, you already thanked me just now. You don't have to do it again." Judith nodded, pursing her lips. "My grandma told me to remember good deeds from others deep in my heart. That's the only way to become a kind and grateful person." Wilbur did not really know what to do with Judith's enthusiasm. However, he was also a little curious about her. "If you really want to thank me, can you tell me how you found this clam and why you were so sure there was a pearl in it?" Judith hesitated. She looked around to make sure there was no one nearby, and whispered, "I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret." "Yes, of course. I swear I won't tell anyone." Wilbur nodded, overflowing with curiosity. The water where Judith was must have been at least fifteen meters deep, and clams usually lived at the bottom of the sea. Wilbur found it rather unbelievable that this little girl was not only able to see fifteen meters underwater but even knew that t
Ten minutes later, Wilbur arrived at the foot of a shabby, worn apartment building. "Block thirty-five… this is it." The neighborhood was named Ediran, and it looked to be at least thirty years old. All the buildings here were six floors tall at most, and it looked to be the poorest place in all of Wendis. Wilbur could hardly believe that Judith and her grandmother lived in a place like this. With the special talent they both had, they were more than capable of digging up the most unthinkable treasures from underwater. The money from that could more than get Judith and her grandmother a unit in the most luxurious apartment in Wendis, or even a house of their own. Wilbur walked up to unit 502 and knocked on the door. "Coming!" Judith's voice rang from inside. The door was opened not long after, and Judith appeared in front of Wilbur looking delighted to see him. "Mister Penn! Come in, come in." "Thank you. Here's a little something I picked up." Wilbur handed the fruits
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
