A dense circle of yellowing grass wound around the plants, which themselves appeared to be full of vitality.
‘All things in this world are delicate like flowers even someone at Rank 7 or 8 can fall what else is there left to think about for people like us? But this is exactly why I choose to pursue the absolute limit of strength, reaching a rank which transcend all fear and troubles!’ Leylin seemed to have an intoxicated expression in his eyes, as if he was absorbed in the plant’s beauty. Soon, however, the plants were wrapped up in a radiant light.
Shortly after, Leylin took out a small garden hoe and began to fix the small flowerbed. He got rid of all the weeds and agave plants, and erected a granite fence around it.
The flowerbed looked very serene, an intoxicating calmness permeating from it. The size of the garden is rather moderate not too small neither too big, its area even less than three hundred square meter. However, it was a lot better than the garden outside the mountains, with more than a few dozen flower and plants clustered together in a symphony.
The black soil seemed to hold a lot of water, and was clearly rich in top-grade nutrition. Obviously, all the radiation from his laboratory and his own body would probably change the most ordinary of soil as well.
Leylin walked around taking care of the plants with a tranquil experience devoid of any problem, he eventually stood in the barren middle of the garden without any plants and could not help but take out a few pieces of grey crystal. Within his strong grip, the crystals were immediately reduced to ashes and scattered evenly within the flowerbed. Lastly, Leylin covered them up with a fresh layer of soil.
After the preparation work was complete, Leylin grew even more cautious. A silver beam flashed, and space fluctuated as a translucent grey crystal appeared in Leylin’s palm. One could see green at its core if they looked through the magnificent exterior.
‘The Seed of Wisdom… It’s finally time to use senior’s gift.’ Leylin’s eyes had a tinge of reminiscence. This was a gift bestowed on him from Wisdom Tree, according to the initial plan he was suppose to grant this to Freya to assure a smooth succession and implementation in Purgatory World but he ultimately decided to not put all his eggs in a single basket with the appearance of «Hands of Hades»
“Sprout, root of all wisdom!” Following Leylin’s voice, the A.I. Chip emotionlessly notified him, [Beep! Releasing the seal on the Eternal Crystal.]
The translucent crystal shattered into a fine white powder which gradually disappeared with the wind. A ring of green light formed, growing in intensity within Leylin’s hands.
A bit of the green light caused even the agave plants that had already been uprooted to flutter happily. These plants were already being transformed into intelligent beings, even though they had only been touched by a small amount of it.
“Disappear!” Leylin said lightly, and all of the agave plants on the floor turned into ash.
‘Let’s look at what wonders I can gain from here.’ Leylin looked at the seed in his hand. The brown coating had complicated patterns on it, and the top end exposed a core that was as green as an emerald.
‘ “Leylin” used the seed of wisdom too early so the real question was never answered —If this Seed of Wisdom were to grow for a very long time, would it ultimately mature into another Wisdom Tree?’ Leylin lost himself in his daydream for a while, even drooling in his mind thinking about how nice it would be if this delusion was true but shortly after he buried the seed in the flowerbed and covered it with solid earth.
The Seed of Wisdom is a tool to be used when deemed necessary, for the Ancient Wisdom Tree to bestowed him with this seed it must have thought something.
Afterwards, Leylin acted the part of an industrious farmer as he attentively took care of the entire flowerbed, paying no attention to the clumps of dirt on his elegant robes.
‘Time to adapt the life of a farmer, continuously water it, apply fertiliser, and wait until the day it puts down roots and grows to its full size.’ Leylin took up his spray bottle, with a hopeful expression in his eyes…
A lot had happened that evening, and in contrast to Freya invasion of Purgatory World planting a seed in his flowerbed was something extremely insignificant. While Leylin was engrossed in his flowerbed, he looked at his status instinctively.
[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 6 Warlock, Bloodline: Adhishesh(rank 6). Strength: 512.8 Agility: 391.9, Vitality: 729.6, Spiritual force: 10000.9, Magic power: 10000 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force) Soul Force: 1000 State of soul – peak Breaking Dawn. Comprehension of laws, Primordial Chaos: 31%]
Although Leylin suffered a decade of injury for confronting «Hand Of Hades» but the whole endeavor wasn’t without it’s return and rewards as through a small span of twenty years Leylin made an improvement in his understanding level of primordial law of chaos. Even though 2% growth seems not much but for Magus at the peak of Breaking Dawn without nothing to explore in the areas of soul except for comprehending law, even a small bit of comprehension can easily take centuries in contrast to that Leylin growth is phenomenal even a bit scary.
“Lets see what the future has in store for me, even with my meticulous planning I really wonder what would happen at the end?”
….
Immediately after Freya left Leylin again sank into a deep period of seclusion cutting off all outside interfere and connection. He was completely absorbed in his research and taking care of the Seed Of Wisdom, only time when he met with anyone during this period was his guard who was order to deliver something. Leylin eventually created a strengthening vitality portion a by-product of his experiment but it was nothing short of treasure to his injured Morning Stars who made a full recovery eventually.
Time passed unceasingly as a total of five decades lept over, Leylin didn’t care much as his daily routine only involved experiment, tending to his garden and looking at Freya situation. The outside world was also very calm without any ripples the underground trade was a resounding success and with both pathway secured there was no trouble, the profits from this connection obviously brought upon the greedy eyes of many but no one in Surface World dare take a step against Leylin as for the troubles of subterranean World it was Lyers Family and Eam responsibility.
Although sometimes some of Leylin subordinates stretch a helping hand and would like to go there to headbutt with the bulls causing trouble. Angar in particular has made a few trips down there showcasing it’s might mostly trying to show off against his rival Throned Thunderbird Eam, who can only sigh with desperation.
Angar is someone important to Leylin and hence there would be multiple Morning Stars and even a Radiant Moon ready to step in at anytime, looking at this situation what could Eam do but let the mischievous Angar be arrogant.
There was no trouble as the things passed easily without much trouble, all of Leylin subordinates sank into a moment of peace busying themselves in their own works, there were many good managers and responsible people taking root in all of the Leylin conquered World hence nothing special occurred and the organization steadily accumulated it’s strength raising many new faces.
Away from worldly affairs Leylin was currently in his garden as he walked around light-heartedly and he picked up the watering can taking care of the little flowerbed in a big lush garden, as if putting all his efforts in here.
“You have all grown big, well if you didn’t even after I used so many life resources it would be pretty darn concerning matter, here!” Leylin smiled, and picked up his sprinkler.
A milky-white spring water with a rich fragrance was poured into the soil.
The budding shoots in the flowerbed before had now grown into a tree, the glistening verdant leaves appeared even more full of vitality after being watered.
Looking at the tree and his empty sprinkle Leylin waved his hands and stretch his fingers a leather white glove with red stitches in his hands.
*Ssss—* The air seemed to shimmer and warp like in a hazy heat, and traces of dark red dreamforce began to fall in without end, sinking into the earth of the flowerbed.
The green Seed of Wisdom seemed to welcome it, and absorbed the dreamforce. It even budded a little green branch, and seemed to be filled with the breath of life.
The dark red dreamforce was like a fog, and lingered on around the branch as it slowly developed some small buds and leaves. It was continuously absorbed by the bud, and appeared to have become a nutrient source.
At this moment, it sounded as if a bowstring had snapped in the void. An oppressive voice sounded, and the dreamforce rapidly faded, disappearing in a flash.
“It’s really troublesome now to use dreamforce since it’s fall into nadir!” Leylin shook his head, his expression stoic. The drawing of dreamscape have become much more troublesome and with greater efforts and less gain.
“Fortunately dreamscape is just a part of my power which support the illusions and a bit of my law of primordial chaos, with my grasp it’s not too hard to cope with, But the fall of dreamscape is not really a bad thing either.” Leylin smiled mysteriously, to him the fall of dreamscape isn’t much it was just a tool which he can make do without.
But when this process happened a few years back he felt it! The entire Dreamscape seems to have sunk into stillness, and all dreamforce has vanished.
Not only did dreamforce fall into its weak phase, even the Dreamscape itself had sunk into silence, meaning that if one wanted to draw out dreamforce, they needed to waste even more power than before. And its effects would be greatly reduced as well! Leylin was a bit better than others due to his law which somewhat affected illusion and reality but that’s it.
Actually, the weakness of dreamforce was more of a blessing than a curse for Leylin. The best advantage was that the Snake Dowager clearly could not use dreamforce without restraint, which was the same as cutting off an arm. If it’s like this, the advantages of Dreamscape entering its silent phase outweigh the disadvantages for him.
Leylin walked out of his garden and appered in his astral laboratory where the cosmic gate was working with a dimmed radiance, he steadily sat on a comfortable chair in the corner and reclined completely relaxed.
His lips held a soft smile posture lazy as he sat in his loosely doned robe, but his eyes weren’t his usual black but rather it resembled an unfathomable starry night sky. His gaze tearing through planes looking at someone through time and space.
“Finally…. ”
….
Purgatory World.
“The Hail Continent’s holy city!” A beautiful white scale women muttered under her breath as she sized up this city that seemed to have been built by giants.
The entire city was filled with brilliant lights, and what was the most unforgettable was the giant sculpture at the very heart of the city.
It was a very bewitching female with long hair with separated out and transformed into exotic snakes of all kinds. There were the Giant Kemoyin Serpents, the Alabaster Devilsnakes, Three-headed Pythons, and many other species could be found within the hair of this snake chieftess.
The sculpture have been made with the Snake Dowager as the model. Anyone can see it so clearly even outside the city, and if one were to determine the scale, it will approximately be over tens of thousands of metres tall.
The white scale women with scarlet eyes were full of admiration. If not for the spell formations and other assistance from other worlds, a statue of this scale could never have been accomplished.
The secret undulations hidden in various parts of the holy city made her expression change slightly. While she was unable to detect those lofty rank 7 existences, the radiation from rank 6 Breaking Moons could no longer resist the her strict scans.
Hence, She was able to ascertain with amazement that there were at least ten rank 6s in the holy city, and they were all descendants of the Snake Dowager!
‘So this is it huh my final destination, fifty years have passed so quickly but I vividly remember every portion of this adventure all to finally reach here to fulfill my goals. The Snake Dowager is here, maybe not her true body but her attention is most definitely here and once something turbulent occurs it would be easy to draw her out.’
“Sister Freya….here!” As the white scaled women was looking at the city with a stoic and yearning expression an oriole like gentle innocent voice filled with warmth and happiness yelled towards her.
