After the suffocating pressure was gone, the air finally began to circte again. There was a gentle breeze on the grass, which was moving like waves in the breeze.
Earlier, all the grass in the prairie seemed to be frozen, and couldn’t move at all.
After the confrontation was over, the mages who were rtively weak finally moved towards the center. Even though they had been almost 10 kilometers away, the two top experts had stopped them from moving forward.
Lin Yun had actually been capable of moving forward against the pressure. It would’ve been fine for him to reach the circle of level-7 Heaven Rank experts. But if he had done that, he would’ve exposed his strength. He would rather hide it as Agalon did, so he simply waited in the rear patiently.
So many experts, including four level-9 Heaven Rank ones, had gathered here. The matter that brought them here couldn’t be trivial.
After everything was back to peace, Agalon opened his mouth.
“Some of you already know what we’re going to discuss, but most of you probably don’t know why you’re here to attend this meeting. So, I’ll just introduce the matter again.”
Agalon sounded quite grave. The other three men at the crystal table looked grave too. The mage who had tattoos on his face seemed quite ominous, but didn’t interrupt Agalon.
Lin Yun frowned, and wondered what could’ve possibly gathered so many experts. Those people represented most of the forces of Noscent.
Some of them were from the Odin Kingdom, some were from the Sten Kingdom, some came from the boundless forest in the south, and there was even a level-5 Heaven Rank expert from the royal family of the Andlusa Kingdom.
“You must be familiar with the Leviathan ne, which is the most important resource ne for Noscent. However, not everybody knows that the Leviathan ne is the closest ne to Noscent. The space barrier between them is very feeble.
“The environment in that ne is simr to Noscent’s, and their size is simr too. Not all of you have an enterprise in the Leviathan ne. However, the matter that I’m going to tell you concerns each of you.
“As a matter of fact, everybody in Noscent will be in great trouble!”
Hearing what Agalon said, the expressions of the experts who stood in the front all changed. The three men who were sitting by the crystal table didn’t seem surprised, as if they already knew what Agalon was going to say.
A level-8 Heaven Rank mage, who was as slim as a skeleton, asked, “Sir Agalon, are you talking about Leviathan?”
Before Agalon said anything, the mage who had strange tattoos on his head had put on a weird smile.
“No, not Leviathan. That guy is already as dead as can be. He cannot possibly revive. This whole thing is much more troublesome than Leviathan.”
Lin Yun stood in the rear and listened quietly. He was quite shocked at first, and became even more worried as he listened on.
Leviathan was allegedly the very first animal that had appeared in the world.
Nobody knew what Leviathan looked like, but it was respected as the Ancestor of Beasts. At the beginning, beasts didn’t carry magic power, so they strengthened themselves by increasing their body’s sturdiness and their physical force.
Leviathan was one of the strongest of such beasts. It could be resurrected even if it only had one drop of blood left. It was unbelievably terrifying, and couldn’t be killed in any way. When it was dying, it would leave a drop of blood that could make it revive.
At the beginning, Leviathan was indeed a beast that didn’t carry any magic power, although it was much stronger than any of the beasts that carried magic power these days. Later, the ne Leviathan was in contact with Noscent, and a nar Path was established. Since then, Leviathan had absorbed magic power, and evolved into something even more terrifying.
All animals and magical beasts of Noscent were Leviathan’s offspring in a way.
The Leviathan ne had existed for a long time since the beginning of the era of gods. At that time, the sole purpose of the Leviathan ne was to imprison Leviathan. The king of gods personally exiled Leviathan to that ne, which was supposed to be a cage that Leviathan would die inside.
When the era of mages began, Leviathan, which was closest to Noscent and had a thin wall, was spotted.
The ce had never been developed. It was resourceful, and had a simr environment to Noscent’s. It was almost a paradise. There, it was possible to find all resources that had been found in Noscent. There was even a huge reserve of many resources that had been exhausted in Noscent.
How could the mages not develop the perfect world that was incapable of resistance?
That was when the disaster began. Leviathan showed up and killed countless experts, passing out its bloodline. It was killed and revived again and again.
In the end, when it was pushed into a corner, Leviathan caused a problem to Noscent that could never be addressed by detonating itself, and spreading its blood across Noscent.
In Noscent, most animals on the earth, in the sky, and in the sea carried Leviathan’s bloodline. The outbreak of magical beasts had caused a prolonged disaster to human beings. They still existed in Noscent even to this day.
The most important reason why they had never been killed was not just that human beings needed them as materials, but also that it was impossible to eliminate all magical beasts.
In particr, it was absolutely impossible to eliminate the magical beasts in the sea. Up until now, the Boundless Sea was still a forbidden ce for human beings, and couldn’t be explored until 10,000 yearster.
Although the ughter continued, human beings never dared to eliminate all the magical beasts. After all, nobody could foresee what would happen in a total war.
Leviathan was dead, but the trouble it caused hadn’t been resolved yet, and would probably always remain unresolved.
It was indeed true that Leviathan would never revive. After blowing itself up, Leviathan had spread its bloodline throughout Noscent. It was impossible to bring Leviathan back to life until all the magical beasts that contained its bloodline in Noscent were killed.
Obviously, that was impossible even if Noscent was destroyed. After so many years, a lot of formidable magical beasts had been born in Noscent. In particr, Lin Yun knew the names of a dozen level-49 magical beasts in the Boundless Sea.
It was unlikely that those magical beasts would all kill themselves to resurrect Leviathan, so the trouble in the Leviathan ne couldn’t be Leviathan’s resurrection.
Lin Yun knew that very well. As a matter of fact, 10,000 yearster, there was a maniac who tried to resurrect Leviathan. He was very interested in Leviathan, the Ancestor of Animals, and believed that its immortal body was much more terrifying than those of the undead.
However, the maniac gave up after hundreds of years of research and killing countless magical beasts because he would have to kill all the magical beasts in Noscent that carried Leviathan’s bloodline in order to resurrect Leviathan.
Leviathan’s bloodline had already been dissipated and dissolved after countless years of reproduction. It was already distributed to all magical beasts, and even those beyond Noscent. It was impossible to kill all of them.
The Leviathan ne’s problem wasn’t Leviathan. Then what was it?
Not just Lin Yun, but everybody else was curious too.
“I went to the space battlefield. Then, because of an ident, I arrived in the Leviathan ne, where I discovered something terrifying.
“The ne of the Undead and the Leviathan ne have already collided. Some parts of the nes are ovepping. Thews of the nes are starting to change.
“By my spection, in five years, the Leviathan ne and the ne of the Undead will be forever connected to each other. By then, thews of the ne of the Undead would corrupt the Leviathan ne’s.”
“The Leviathan ne will be swallowed by the ne of the Undead, and be part of it.”
After Agalon told everybody what the trouble they were facing was, everybody’s expression changed.
The ne of the Undead!
It was because of the ne of the Undead!
Lin Yun was quite shocked, not because of the collision itself, but because it had never happened in real history.
The location of a ne wasn’t fixed. Lin Yun was already aware of that. To calcte the coordinates of a ne with Noscent as the original point was the only safe way. It wouldn’t be safe to calcte based on other nes, because their coordinates might be wrong or deviate.
When constructing the nar Path, one tiny bit of error might mean the deviation of one or two nes.
Most nes were constantly moving, just like the stars in the boundless void.
Every ne was unique, and contained differentws. Thosews had evolved on different levels too.
Noscent was a world that had the mostplete evolvedws. There was theplete version of everyw in Noscent. However, the other nes might be different. Thew of fire in the Raging me ne, for example, was morepletely evolved than otherws.
The differences of the nes were like rejection forces that prevented them from hitting each other in the unlikely events that they approached each other during the years of wandering.
In history, the ne of the Undead had indeed been the one which had hit the most number of other nes. Because of its special features, it had hit many small nes, and swallowed them like a big shark.
When a small ne hit the ne of the Undead, thews of the ne of the Undead would invade like a bloodthirsty shark, and contaminate the localws of the ne. The small ne would then be absorbed into the ne of the Undead, and make it bigger.
But most of the small nes were deste. Even if some of them had lives on them, the cores of the nes were still too weak to resist the invasion.
Obviously, the Leviathan ne was not a ne that the ne of the Undead could just hit and swallow, even though the ne of the Undead was almost the biggest of all nes.
Shocked, Lin Yun considered the reason behind everything. If the collision had happened in history, it couldn’t have been left unrecorded. Something had clearly changed, or some sort of greater power intervened. Otherwise, the consequence would’ve been much greater than what happened to the Raging me ne that should’ve been destroyed.
The Leviathan ne was the most important ne for Noscent. Everything there was simr to Noscent’s. It looked like another Noscent from every perspective.
In the future, when Noscent ran out of mana, the powerful mages even considered migrating everything in Noscent to the Leviathan ne.
But they failed in the end. The Leviathan ne was not Noscent, no matter how simr they were. The cores of the worlds were different. Low-level mages and ordinary people could survive in the Leviathan ne, but powerful mages would all perish after Noscent’s mana was exhausted. Even the mages who tried to take shelter in other ces couldn’t survive.
The countless nes that had been colonized were out of control. It was impossible for the mages of Noscent to rise again. They could only wait to die in Noscent.
It didn’t matter how the ne of the Undead and the Leviathan ne collided. The important thing to do was to stop it.
It was impossible for the Leviathan ne to resist the ne of the Undead’s swallowing. After the Leviathan ne waspletely corrupted by the ne of the Undead, Noscent, which was closest to the Leviathan ne, certainly couldn’t remain safe.
Anyone who wasn’t drunk and smashed in the head should know that the trouble was serious.
Considering the feeble space barrier between the Leviathan ne and Noscent, when the Leviathan ne became part of the ne of the Undead, Noscent would only be one wall away from the ne of the Undead.
On the other side of the wall, every Heaven Rank undead creature could break the wall and visit their neighbor, probably with several hundred millionckeys.
If one of the powerful undead creatures thought that the neighbor’s house was great and wanted to have it…
…then the greatest scourges of the undead in history would be no different from the fight of two toddlers inparison to what would follow…
Back in the ne of the Undead, a dragon overlord and a gnome overlord, probably because of the different culture they lived in before they became undead, thought that the other person was cursing themselves, and fought with billions ofckeys. They could easily fight for decades, until the bones of the broken skeletons filled up the battlefield.
That was just a trivial war. If two undead overlords were determined to kill each other, they could easily kill tens of millions of undead soldiers in one campaign, and fight hundreds of years.
The tireless undead creatures would never die again. There would only be more and more of them. Time didn’t mean anything to them.
In fact, Lin Yun knew that two undead overlords were fighting in the ne of the Undead exactly at this moment, and would fight for another 4,000 years because they couldn’t keep track of time. The war was described in great detail.
ording to historical records, the two undead overlords fought because of some trivia. When the war was over, a sea of skeletons that stretched thousands of kilometers was left in the ne of the Undead. The bones even ttened a basin.
If the ne of the Undead consumed the Leviathan ne, considering the undead creatures’ greed for blood and lives, it would only be a matter of time before they broke the wall and attacked Noscent on a full scale.
The undead overlords would spend thousands of years fighting a war, but Noscent didn’t have that time.
If it wasted thousands of years in the total war against the undead, it would never be able to catch up again. Its current speed of development was already dangerously slow. If the undead slowed it down again, Noscent would surely be destroyed.
So many experts had been gathered from all the major forces of Noscent, so they would only have one purpose.
They would disrupt the ne of the Undead’s corruption, cut apart the ovepping part of the Undead and the Leviathan ne, and prevent the Leviathan ne from being swallowed.
However, on second thought, it was easy to predict that not everybody would dly ept the summoning, and charge at the invading undead creatures for a happy ending.
After introducing the terrible news, Agalon fell silent, and the Lionheart Prince opened his mouth solemnly.
“Everybody who has been drafted must contribute. We must aplish the task in five years no matter what it takes, or you will know the consequence.
“You should consider how the organization you represent can help. In 10 days, all the resistance will gather in the Leviathan ne.
“Now, everybody who’s an Artisan or a better alchemist will stay.. The rest of you may go back for preparations.”
