It would be impossible for Wilbur to advance to the upper dimension to cultivate by then. Augheimer always considered Wilbur a friend, and his actions were solely to ensure Wilbur could enjoy the treatment of a powerful cultivator in Tevinter Town. The cultivation difficulty in the middle dimension was far beyond the lower dimension, after all. The upper dimension would be ten times harder. Augheimer believed that one should know their limits. They went through multiple crises in the middle dimension and escaped death more than once. They finally got their status and identities through their hard work in the end. He felt like if they were to suddenly give up everything they had to seek opportunities for cultivation in the upper dimension, it would undoubtedly be a life-risking gamble. Such a decision was something Augheimer had only made once, which was when he came to the middle dimension. He was no longer willing to take that kind of risk for a second time. Augheimer looked u
"Oh? Wow, that's some nerve you've got to be speaking like that. Sure, tell me what you would like. I'll have you know now that everything here has got a price to it. Do you understand?" "I'm sorry, Mister Adela. I don't understand what you're saying." Ramont got to his feet as he spoke. With a thump, Adela slammed a fist on the table, getting to his feet as he glowered at Ramont. "I was nice enough to come to your banquet at all, Ramont. Did you think you'd be able to keep your position in Tevinter Town without me? I'll let you know that you'll be replaced in the next hundred years without my help! If you want to stay as the City Lord, you don't have any other choice." "That's what you would say to a commoner, Mister Adela. Not to me." "You…" Adela was furious, unable to get a word out all at once. Ramont scoffed. "Didn't you ask me what I wanted just now, Mister Adela? Well, it's not much. I just want your head." "What did you just say?" Adela was infuriated by Ramont's
Ramont looked at Adela coldly and declared, "You're dead, Adela!" All of a sudden, an explosion sounded on the porch. Smoke and debris flew everywhere, as Ramont and Adela landed hard on the ground. Ramont spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, Wilbur and Augheimer rushed out from where they had been hiding to fly toward the other figure in the smoke. Just then, Wilbur sensed a powerful energy aura descending in the area. At the last moment, he grabbed Augheimer and held him back. "Wait, don't go over there!" "Arrrggghhhh! You're all dead, all of you!" Adela roared as a powerful energy aura spread outward. The powerful waves sent Wilbur and Augheimer flying back over a dozen meters. After landing on the ground, Wilbur helped Augheimer up. "Are you alright?" "I'm f-fine! Come on, we have to save the City Lord!" "Don't worry, he won't die as long as I'm around!" Wilbur charged toward Ramont just as Adela darted up to Ramont as well. A fight broke out between Ramo
Adela laughed loudly as he spoke the words, and Augheimer gritted his teeth. "What are you laughing at? Is that supposed to be funny to you?" "Oh, it feels so good to be an elite. You'll never understand the difference between those who make the rules and those who have to abide by them. For all the hard work and time you put into trying to outsmart me, you're still going to end up dead. At the end of the day, you don't have a say in how the rules go." "F*ck, I'm going to kill you!" Ramont roared. Ramont had always been quite a powerful fighter who was also talented. He had never lost a battle throughout his cultivation journey, but Adela still managed to entrap him despite his meticulous schemes. Rage flared up in Ramont's chest, and he gritted his teeth through the pain coursing through his body as he charged toward Adela once more. Just as he was about to get to Adela, Ramont summoned a green sword that he swung at her. At the same time, Adela merely turned his hand over bef
"So, it's you, Wilbur Penn! You've definitely got a death wish, haven't you? Well, I'm happy to grant it!" Adela muttered a spell, and a pillar of black flames shot out of the Ebony Phoenix to wrap around Wilbur. Augheimer's eyes grew bloodshot as he shouted, "No, no!" Ramont grabbed Augheimer. "Don't go over there. It's too late for anything now. We'll just have to leave it up to fate." "This is all my fault, Wilbur! I shouldn't have done this!" Augheimer broke down into sobs all of a sudden. Just then, the black flames were put out as Wilbur emerged, radiating the same white glow all over. "I'm not dead yet, Augheimer," said Wilbur. "I promised you I'd help you finish this, didn't I?" Wilbur leaped into the air, flying toward the Ebony Phoenix. Adela was furious to see this, and shouted, "What are you doing, you bastard? Come back!" Yet Wilbur had already reached the phoenix, touching it with his hands. The Ebony Phoenix began to shrink instantly. Before long, it was co
"How dare you! I'm going to kill you!" Adela released a white light space power all of a sudden, forming a white vortex as both opposing space powers attempted to usurp each other's energy aura. "Hahaha!" Adela laughed all of a sudden. "I have fifty thousand years of cultivation, Wilbur, but you only have thirty thousand. You're not a match for me even if you've mastered the dark space dimensional laws!" Wilbur gritted his teeth. "Help me out here, Augheimer!" "I'm coming!" Augheimer charged up to Wilbur, grabbing Wilbur's right hand as he released dark space power as well. A large vortex formed out of both their dark space powers, devouring Adela's energy aura continuously. Adela only brought one Power Elixir Drop with him this time, and he had used it up. Regret and fury filled his chest as he watched the energy aura drain out of him, unable to do anything. Wrinkles began to form on Adela's skin, his brown hair slowly fading to white. Adela, who had lost the nourishment
"Got it, Lord Ramont." "Take me back to get some rest." Augheimer walked Ramont to his room before coming out to see Wilbur scowling at him. "Why did you do this, Augheimer? You know I always saw you as a friend, and this is how you treat me? You made me help you kill Adela! You know Adela is Odysseus' Senior Guard and killing him is a great offense to Odysseus. You did this to stop me from advancing to the upper dimensions, didn't you?" Augheimer lowered his head. He had known that Wilbur would eventually find out about this, just not so soon. Augheimer would have died just now if Wilbur had not been there, and thus could not retaliate at all. After a brief silence, Augheimer said, "I'm sorry.' "I don't want to hear that! I treated you like a friend, but you used me! This is the last time I'm helping you! We're done!" Wilbur turned to leave after that, and Augheimer sighed as he watched him. Coming out of the ruler's residence, Wilbur did not return to the Robert family.
Wilbur had lost interest in cultivating ever since falling for Augheimer's ploy. Since he could not advance to the upper dimensions, he would not be able to become a servant of the dimensional guardians, and thus could not return to Earth from a few decades ago. Even if he was to return to Earth now, everything he had known there would have changed already. If he could not return to the past, then there was no point in going back at all. Yes, Wilbur would just stay and cultivate in Tevinter Town. It was probably best for him to make more friends, then. That afternoon, Liam introduced Wilbur to a brown-haired cultivator. "This is Teller Andrew, the spirit cultivator sent over by the Andrew family. He'll be living with us from now onwards." Liam then turned to Teller and said, "This is Trevor Penn, the Robert family's dragon clan cultivator." Wilbur and Teller exchanged glances, nodding at each other in acknowledgment. Teller's gaze looked strangely familiar to Wilbur as they l
