Adrian detected the fatigue and impatience in Lexie's voice and asked, "What's wrong, Lexie? Why can't you go?"Lexie gently touched Adrian's face and smiled. "Because my time is almost up.""What? Don't you still have a thousand years left?" Adrian asked, "A level twelve immortal should have ten thousand years of life, right?"Lexie chuckled and said, "Breaking through to level 12 took a lot of time. Who would have thought that I, Water Sage, a prodigy of my generation, would meet my end so soon after roaming Mythria."Adrian asked, "How much longer do you have?"Lexie was silent for a long time, then looked at Adrian with sadness and said, "Tomorrow.""I don't want you to die," Adrian said, his eyes reddened. After five years of spending everyday together, he could not bear to see Lexie go."Why?" Lexie asked curiously.Adrian thought for a long time and said, "Maybe I don't want to be alone anymore."Then Adrian suddenly pounced on Lexie. With her level only restored to lev
Lexie looked at Adrian, her expression no longer cold but filled with a hint of affection. "Where are we going next?" she asked.Adrian pondered deeply for a moment and said, "We're going to the Immortal Ark."Lexie smiled. "What? Do you really think we can still board the ark?""Is it not possible?" Adrian asked."That's right. From what I know about those old geezers, they will continue with the plan," Lexi said."If they’re continuing with the plan, why do you say we can't board the ark?" Adrian asked.Seeing his confusion, Lexie smiled bitterly and explained, "Because if they can't take enough people, what good is the Immortal Ark even if it leaves Mythria?"At our level, we see personal life and death quite clearly. Instead, we value the legacy of our factions. If it was just about survival, we wouldn't have built the Immortal Ark. After all, we're alone and can go wherever we want."Understanding dawned upon Adrian. The rampant daemon attacks had severely affected the i
"Even if we encounter some ordinary immortals, they won't be able to survive on the ark,’ Adrian sighed.He felt an immense sense of regret about this. If the Immortal Ark were to be filled, they could save more lives along the way."Wait!" Lexie suddenly thought of something and said, "Even though it doesn't meet the standard of a small world, Weyberd in the Central Lands holds the reserves of the seven major factions.""What reserves?" Adrian asked."When Daemonia invaded during ancient times, only the Central Lands didn't fall. Those reserves are meant to combat Daemonia," Lexie said."Then we have a reason to go to the Central Lands." Adrian smiled. "If I'm right, the reserves of the seven factions should still be there. If we go, we have a chance to fully activate the Immortal Ark."Adrian and Lexie stayed up all night, chatting enthusiastically. After that day, Adrian returned to Forgotten Shore. As expected, Weststar had fully retreated. The monsters, being sea creatures,
However, Adrian did not anticipate that the other six land sages would encounter troubles. Reflecting on it years later, Adrian could only sigh at the inevitability of fate.After stepping into the space rift technique's light gate, Dark Sage was ambushed by three daemon overlords. Due to the abnormally turbulent space, he was banished to the chaotic spatial flow and his whereabouts became unknown.As for Gold Sage, he was ambushed by an unknown level 12 dark immortal upon entering the Southern Forest. Despite using secret techniques to prolong his life, he perished shortly after.Earth Sage was ambushed by three high-level demonic beasts when he returned to his faction. He barely escaped, only to be betrayed by his leader and killed.Wood Sage, after safely returning, was lured out under the pretense of important matters and fell into a trap. He died with no remains left behind. This incident led to a deadly conflict between the Terra Spirit Order and Azure Wood Peak.As for Fire
"Why not turn it into your lifebound spiritual artifact?" Lexie asked.Adrian was startled. "This can also be a spiritual artifact?""Your imagination is limited by your origin." Lexie chuckled.Understanding dawned upon Adrian. 'She's right! I can turn this core into my lifebound spiritual artifact!'He turned his curious gaze toward Lexie, and as they shared a bed every night, she understood his thoughts very well."Firstly, the Weststar faction is rooted in techniques. Secondly, all seven land sages have sworn oaths regarding our lifebound items. No one can claim the core for themselves, except you," Lexie said.Upon hearing this, Adrian wasted no time and immediately dropped his blood into the core. It flowed uninhibited into the core, and it took losing about three-fifths of his blood before it stopped.Adrian's heart was in his throat, and Lexie felt uneasy too. She nearly caused Adrian's death, but fortunately, with every gain, there was a loss. Adrian had truly gained co
As soon as anyone entered the small world, Adrian could control them indefinitely through the power of the Draco Veinergy. He conducted tests, confirming that this change had nothing to do with his levels.However, the core had its strengths and weaknesses. For sentient beings, it was nearly impossible to lure them in successfully unless they were exceptionally foolish. Adrian chuckled at the thought of opening the core and daring someone to enter. It would be sheer madness if an opponent knew it was a trap and still went in.Adrian's obsession with studying the core made him neglect even Lexie to some extent. He then discovered another intriguing phenomenon. When creatures died in the small world, it increased the vitality of the environment. This sensation was delicate yet profound. The rise in spiritual energy was noticeable, particularly from monstrous beasts rather than ordinary fish and shrimp. However, Adrian could not detect any other notable benefits of this at the moment.
Adrian had been unsure about how to handle the bodies of three daemons. Initially, he intended to turn them into his lifebound spiritual artifact, but Lexie stopped him. After all, she believed it was wasteful and disrespectful to nature. Therefore, he could only set them aside. Right now, he considered that these corpses might benefit his small world.Acting on this impulse, he retrieved them and, with Lexie's approving gaze, buried them on the small island. The energy contained within three level-twelve bodies was vast. It far exceeded anything Adrian had encountered in the past two years. The small world quickly absorbed the three corpses, and he distinctly felt the entire island becoming increasingly unique.It blossomed with various flowers, plants, and trees, particularly dense thickets that delighted Lexie. She even built a thatched hut on the island, declaring it their home.Adrian also noticed that these three corpses brought about a special change.Lexie exclaimed excited
The small world could evolve independently once laws were established, even if incomplete. Adrian did not realize that this was the primordial state of any major world.Understanding Lexie's suggestion, Adrian took out everything from the storage bags of the level twelve beasts. Regardless of their level, these beasts had a penchant for guarding celestial herbs, a destiny for lower-grade beasts and fundamentally unchanged for higher-grade ones. High-grade beasts especially cherished the seeds of celestial herbs, and they often traded and collected them for pleasure.Adrian planted all the seeds without hesitation, turning the entire rocky area into a densely cultivated plot. Lexie watched him perform this task. Just as she was about to leave out of boredom, she realized she could not exit the core.Initially thinking it was one of Adrian's pranks, she scolded him playfully but soon found out Adrian was equally puzzled. Even he was trapped within this space.Adrian joked. "Could we
