With the goal of population control in mind, there was a strict system set in place for the people in the towns of the middle dimensions. This was why most people who were sent to the middle dimensions usually ended up in Buck Town or the two other bloodthirsty main towns. Out of the cultivators who had landed here, there had been a dozen or so upper-dimension elites who had faced a massacre here. Some upper-dimension elites thought they would be able to return to the middle dimensions to prove their strength, only to learn the hard way that they should never, ever enter the main towns. There were a few mysterious elites stationed throughout the main towns to keep the peace and maintain the reputation there. Thus, even upper-dimension elites ran the risk of getting killed if they acted out of line in the main towns. The guard tests, maintaining the reputation of the main towns—that was all just for show. That was a place that awaited the real elites to show up, and only one out o
Wilbur took the cauldron fragment from Nightless Elder and let out a sigh. Nightless Elder raised his eyebrows, puzzled by the look of distress on Wilbur's face. "Aren't you here because of this ninth fragment of the ninth dragon cauldron? Shouldn't you be happy to finally get it? Why the long face?" Wilbur looked up at Nightless Elder. "Yes, I've worked really hard to get this last cauldron fragment, and I am happy to finally get it… but the ninth dragon cauldron was the only one to be broken back then, while the other eight were in perfect shape. However, now all of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons have been shattered, and I don't know if Senior Fremont will still want to see me. He might turn me down, and I may never learn about the secret of the dragon clan." Nightless Elder stared at Wilbur for a moment in silence before nodding. "I see. So, that's what you're worried about. Well, I might not be able to fix that for you, but I'm sure that fate is nothing short of a miracle. Things wi
"Can you just help me put in a good word to Senior Fremont? Of course, it'd be best if he was willing to see me, but if he turns me down… I guess that would have to do." Wilbur ended the call, letting out a long breath before walking to the balcony and looking down at the busy streets filled with people. Everyone was working hard for their own lives, and the people's faces bore different expressions. Some were happy, some distressed, some excited, some sad. Wilbur, who had been chasing after the secret of the dragon clan this entire time, felt a sudden wave of peace taking over his heart. He asked himself, "Oh, Wilbur. You wanted to know the secret of the dragon clan so you could take down the Dark Lord, but he's now been sealed off. The secret's not so important now, is it?" He had wanted to persuade himself, but the truth was that despite the Dark Lord being sealed off, Wilbur had not yet fulfilled the God of Light's request. Earth was still a dimension located in the middle of
The strange thing was that none of the snow on the enormous mountain range ever melted— save for the middle of it. There was a specific area on the peak of Snow Mountain Lydia, where the snow would thaw for two months every summer. Wilbur furrowed his brows. "The whole area's covered in snow, which proves that the temperature there's constantly low. Why would the snow on the mountain peak thaw for two months every year?" Something told Wilbur that Senior Fremont was most likely at the top of this snow mountain. Maybe he had learned some important lesson there and had been cultivating there ever since. Wilbur wasted no time packing up before flying up north toward Veltris. Within half an hour, he had arrived at the Snow Mountain Lydia range. He stood atop a pile of snow, looking around before flying towards Snow Mountain Lydia. Wilbur began to sense Senior Fremont's energy aura and made a beeline for the peak. Wilbur saw Senior Fremont standing there from afar. Two golden drag
"What…" Wilbur stared at the broken pieces on the ground in shock. The next second, the remaining dragon cauldrons, too, fell to the ground in pieces. "Senior…" Fremont said, "Wilbur, I want you to put all of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons back together. Once you can do that without them being blown apart right after, I'll tell you the secret of the dragon clan." "But the winds here are so strong! It's too difficult to put the cauldrons together, Senior." Fremont said nothing and turned to leave, vanishing out of sight the next second. "What the…" Wilbur blinked hard. "Is he… gone?" He tried again, and the nine cauldrons were quickly assembled. This time, they lasted a few seconds until the wind knocked them apart again. Wilbur tried many more times after that, but the cauldrons would be knocked into pieces just seconds later. This made Wilbur rather upset, and he looked around before letting out a sigh. He squatted down, starting to put the cauldrons together again as he m
That was why he was humiliating Wilbur like this, wanting him to just give up. Well, he would just call it a case of bad faith. After another failed attempt, Wilbur got to his feet. The winds blew the cauldron pieces into the air, knocking them apart and sweeping them off the cliff. Wilbur leaped into the air and was about to be on his way. The air flashed with golden light all of a sudden, and Senior Fremont appeared in front of him once more with a rather smug smile on his face. "Already giving up after just a few days?" Wilbur glanced at Fremont. "This was an impossible task from the start. Since you don't want me to know the secret of the dragon clan, I should just leave." "What? You're leaving? What about the Nine Dragon Cauldrons, then? You don't want them anymore?" Wilbur snorted. "The Nine Dragon Cauldrons were yours to begin with, and I should be thankful enough that you're not faulting me for breaking them. I guess I'm returning them to you." Wilbur got up to leav
Wilbur was instantly stunned, and Fremont said coldly, "You must have not searched carefully earlier. You are too eager for success, which has led you to lose yourself. Now, go back to the cliff and search for those cauldron fragments again." "Alright. What do I have to be afraid of?" asked Wilbur. Wilbur turned to leave, but Fremont said, "Wait. When you were climbing the mountain earlier, you were moving too fast and almost triggered an avalanche. If a major avalanche were to occur, it would ruin the formation I have set up here on Snow Mountain Lydia. So, remember, from now on, do not go too fast when going up or down the mountain, understand?" "What? But I returned the dragon cauldron to you. You did not let me fly down the mountain to search for the cauldron fragment for you. Why is that? What gives you the right to treat me this way? Don't you think this is too cruel?" Fremont formed a dragon claw with his right hand and, with a powerful pull, drew Wilbur into his grasp.
After nine consecutive days of trying, Wilbur discovered that under the suppression of the formation energy on Snow Mountain Lydia, his willpower was insufficient to effectively bring the cauldron fragments together. How could this be? Could it be that the formation energy on Snow Mountain Lydia was suppressing his power? Wilbur could sense the cauldron fragments. He might have been able to piece the cauldron together and ensure it would not break apart within fifteen minutes if it was not for the suppression of formation energy on Snow Mountain Lydia. Wilbur felt like this was a test from Senior Fremont. He was frustrated, but he reminded himself that Senior Fremont was immensely powerful. It was rumored that Senior Fremont had reached the level of an upper dimension cultivator. In that case, he would not have misjudged Wilbur since he had perspective as an upper dimension cultivator, which meant that Wilbur should be able to complete the task assigned to him. Having given u
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
