At this moment, Li Cheng had already returned to his own territory. At the same time, the system’s voice suddenly rang.
“Ding, dong! You’ve completed your second class trial!
“Ding, dong! You’ve comprehended a new skill, Energy Deconstruction!
“Ding, dong! You’ve comprehended a new skill, Life Deconstruction!
“Ding, dong! You’ve comprehended a new skill, Elemental Deconstruction!
“Ding, dong!”
Li Cheng was a little dumbfounded. Just what was hidden in this $SS-class hidden class that had undergone a 10,000-times increase in power? How could it be so inconceivable?
Li Cheng did not check on his new skills just yet. Instead, he carried Lillian and walked toward her palace.
Lillian could not help but laugh. “I’m really fine, my Lord. I just can’t use my power in the mortal plane for now.”
Li Cheng knocked Lillian on the head. “Be good. Rest well.”
Lillian shrunk her neck and nodded. “Okay.”
She was silent for a moment before saying, “There are so many things… Il tell you everything in the future. Maybe it’ll take decades.”
“Okay.” Li Cheng responded and continued to smile. “Then let’s talk about it for a few hundred years.”
Ella was also dumbfounded. At this moment, she was scratching her head in frustration. She looked like she was using quite a bit of force as if she was going to make herself bald.
Her mood was also a bit chaotic now. Who was she?! The Phantom Goddess. She was a God after all. How could she be forced to teleport?!
Ella could be sure that even if the Space Goddess was here, she would not be able to teleport her forcefully. If news of this was spread out, how would the Phantom Goddess continue to survive? Was this not too embarrassing?
Li Cheng took a deep breath and let Luna and Sylvia, who were also still in shock, take the troops to rest. He glanced at Ella, who was about to rip her hair out, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Li Cheng knocked Ella’s head and asked, “Ella, who exactly is this Featherfall?”
Ella cried out in pain and hugged her head as she said angrily, “Li Cheng, you’re getting more and more outrageous! You have to maintain respect for your Goddess, understand?”
Li Cheng was rendered speechless.
Maintain respect?
Li Cheng nodded and then knocked Ella’s head again. This time, he used quite a bit of strength.
Ella instantly exploded in anger. She jumped up and wanted to hit Li Cheng’s head.
Then, with a bang, Ella’s palm hit Li Cheng in the chest.
Ella was stunned for a moment. Li Cheng was amused by her. She actually jumped up and hit his knee, right?
She really was Ella…
Li Cheng did not want to play with her anymore. He asked again, “Who is this Featherfall?”
Ella glared at Li Cheng fiercely, snorted, and then said slowly, “Featherfall came to the Profound Empire when I was sixteen years old. Her background’s still a mystery. No one knows where she came from or where she was going.
“But she has a profound understanding of magic. She easily defeated all the Great Mages in the imperial court. From then on, she became the most mysterious existence in the empire. At that time, I only knew that she was building a very powerful Mage Tower. I actually didn’t have much interaction with
her.”
Li Cheng nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, “When you were sixteen, may I ask how many thousands of years ago it was?”
Hearing this, Ella instantly fell silent. She looked at Li Cheng with a dangerous gaze. “Do you want to die?”
The corner of Li Cheng’s mouth twitched. Why did women have such a big taboo about their age?
“What exactly happened in the Profound Empire back then? Is it time to tell me?”
Ella fell silent once again. Her expression was umprecedentedly serious. She did not answer Li Cheng’s question but asked in return, “Do you know the levels of magic?”
Li Cheng nodded. “There are very few people who mention it now, but I know that magic is be divided into ten rings.”
Ella continued, “The empire’s first mage, Featherfall, suddenly announced one day that she had developed an eleven-ring spell!”
Hearing this, Li Cheng was also shocked. An eleven-ring spell?
In his memory, a nine-ring spell was already the ceiling of the entire lost continent, which was usually called a forbidden spell. After it was released, it would completely destroy the world. It had no problem in destroying an army of tens of millions of levels.
A tenth-ring spell was considered the most forbidden spell among forbidden spells. In Li Cheng’s memories, there were a total of two tenth-ring spells. The first one was used by the blade hunters against the Frost Dragons, causing the entire Frost Dragon race to fall into madness. Sylvia’s mother was
forced to use the Dragon Soul. In the end, she died as she was extracting energy. As a result, Sylvia hid in the iceberg for thousands of years.
The second version was a large version in the future. A vampire tried to use a tenth-ring spell to completely destroy the Sun. As for the result, it was unimaginable.
Atenth-circle spell was an earth-shattering existence. As for the eleventh-circle spell, Li Cheng had never heard of it.
Ella continued, “Under the supreme wisdom of Featherfall, the development of the spell was very successful. However, in the process of casting it… The entire world’s magic network overloaded and collapsed.
“With the Mage Tower as the center, an extremely terrifying explosion erupted. The torrent formed by the spell swept across the entire lost continent, causing almost all of the humans to die.
“At the same time, in order to save the magic network, the Goddess of Magic of that generation chose to sacrifice herself and transform into a new magic network. In the explosion, I saved a portion of the Profound Puppets and humans. moving them to the Shadow World, but that was all I could do.”
Hearing Ella’s words, Li Cheng could not help but gulp. This was too ridiculous. An eleventh-circle spell had caused the huge Profound Empire to collapse. Even the Goddess of Magic had fallen. How powerful was she?
This Featherfall was too dangerous!
Li Cheng suppressed the shock in his heart and rubbed Ella’s head. “You’ve done well, Ella.”
LiCheng’s action instantly made Ella’s hair stand up again. “Don’t rub my head. I’m not a child!”
Hearing this, Li Cheng could not help but laugh. Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, “Ella, I have a question to ask you.”
Ella said unhappily, “What?”
“Are you Featherfall’s opponent?”
Ella puffed up her cheeks and shook her head. It was obvious that she was in a very bad mood. “Of course not. Although she hasn’t ascended to the divine position, her understanding of the rules of this world is profound, even more than some gods.”
Hearing this, the comers of Li Cheng’s mouth curled up. “In that case, were you planning on living and dying with me?”
Ella was silent..
