Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 882
Chapter 877 The Three-Layered Verdant Nursery Garden Grotto: The Second Pair of Second-Ring Wizard Shoes Completed!
In the Three Cave Worlds, the upper plane of the Celestial Realm, the remaining Giant Kings and the Divine Eye gaze upon the mortal world. They await the decline of Locke and other external forces before severing the connection between the Celestial Realm and the Earth, and then marching into the mortal world.
One day and night in the Celestial Realm is equivalent to a whole year in the mortal world of the Three Cave Worlds.
At this time, only the Fire Giant, Grass Giant, Water Giant, Oracle Giant, and Mountain Giant remain in the
Celestial Realm. The once prosperous scene of the Celestial Realm’s gods seems to be gone forever, and the remaining giants’ thoughts have begun to change unpredictably.
The Grass Giantess is still worried that Locke will kill her, so she pays the closest attention to the mortal world. “Five days and five nights have passed in the Celestial Realm, and now that Demon God has actually created another small upper plane.”
“Water Giant, Oracle Giant, the Supreme God tells us to wait until the Demon God runs out of supplies in the mortal world. How much longer must we wait?”
The Water Giant frowned, seemingly pondering something.
“I think it might take a while,”
said the Oracle Giant. “There’s nothing left in the mortal world now. Those extraterrestrial visitors will be trapped here.”
The Fire Giant held up the Sealing Stone in his hand.
“I still have one of their stones. I’ve been forging it with flames every day, melting it in a volcano, but the effect isn’t great.”
“We’ll just watch from above as those outsiders either leave on their own or are trapped in our world.”
“Wait, what are they going to do?”
…
In the mortal world of the Three Caverns, Locke crafted the second Garden Cavern. Meanwhile, during this time, Old Henry, using the Treasure Ruler, found two veins of verdant spiritual energy in the mortal world.
These two veins were relatively small, but together they were about the size of the first one.
This news excited Hussein and the other wizards, as having two veins of verdant spiritual energy meant they could sustain themselves for a longer period.
But the next five years brought disappointment.
Old Henry never found a third vein of verdant spiritual energy; it was as if these were the only three veins in the entire mortal world.
In the final year of these five years, Locke successfully forged the second Garden Heaven.
Now, the two Garden Heavens hung above the world, constantly spewing out magical tides. Far from causing the mortal realm to decline due to the lack of energy from the two higher planes, leading to reduced food production and biodiversity, they actually allowed the mortal realm to prosper.
Because the gods no longer responded, more and more city-states began to abandon their faith in the gods.
At this moment, Old Henry stood on the magic wheel in the sky, raising a treasure-hunting ruler in his hand, his eyes constantly searching the sky above the mortal realm.
“Strange, why isn’t the treasure-hunting ruler reacting at all? Could it be that the Persepolis gods’ plundering ability is more powerful than we thought, and there really isn’t anything left to escape their grasp?”
Old Henry was somewhat anxious.
It was like someone who initially thought the map contained several times more resources than they currently possessed, only to discover that the map contained only so many resources.
Old Henry, using the Ganoderma lucidum plant, said to Locke, “Captain Locke, if we can’t find any more Azure Spirit Essence mines, should we just take these three and leave?”
“The ore from the three Azure Spirit Essence mines combined should be worth over 60 million magic stones. Adding the 20 million magic stones you spent refining the three grotto-heavens, the rest should sell for over 40 million magic stones. You can use that to pay those first-ring wizards, and barely break even…”
“By the way, don’t you still have five Sea Spirit Essences? Those are valuable; one can sell for 3 million magic stones. With five, that’s 15 million magic stones.”
“You’ve made a small fortune this time.”
“Should we go back for now?”
Hussein’s voice appeared in Old Henry’s ears through the Ganoderma lucidum plant.
“Old pirate, you’re too cowardly. The battle is still undecided; it’s far too early to retreat.”
“Locke, what do you say?”
Hussein, having completed the Pan curse transformation ritual, was in high spirits and in good spirits.
Locke said, “Don’t worry, both of you, the situation will change soon.”
Old Henry replied from within the Ganoderma lucidum plant, “Yes. I was just offering a suggestion to the captain; I meant nothing else.”
At this moment, Locke entered the city-state of Delius and found Orion, who had grown from a boy into a burly warrior.
Orion expressed his apologies to Locke.
“Teacher Tree Man, although you asked us to spread your Ranger’s Way in this world, and I did as you requested, unfortunately, for some reason, after teaching them the Ranger’s Way, they have been unable to advance further, forever remaining at the beginner level.”
Locke nodded.
This was probably because the Divine Eye had done something, severing the direct connection between mortals and nature in this world.
This secret was likely related to the foundation of this world’s special power system and the secrets of the Divine Eye itself.
And this secret was something he had been pondering for the past ten years in the mortal realm.
Locke looked at Orion and said, “Since that’s the case, there’s no need for them to continue down the Ranger’s path. Since communication between humans and nature is severed in this world, let them follow the path of responding to the principles of the plane and becoming the gods of the crater.”
Orion was stunned.
“Huh?”
“This? This will work too?”
Locke said with his hands behind his back, “Yes. The principles of the plane in this world are special. Since we can’t follow the Ranger’s path, let’s follow the special power system set up by Nicholas. This power system itself was also set up by me.”
Locke looked up at the sky, at the [Book of Gods] principle of the plane that had a vague connection with him.
Half of his body was himself, so how could he hand over the achievements of this world to his main body, and let his main body construct great magic and discover the truth of everything?
Locke looked up at that principle of the plane.
According to his personality, he would place that thing on the first thing he would see after entering this world.
In other words, it was very likely that the [Book of Gods] principle that the Persepolis gods did not want him to obtain.
However, the fact that he had killed too many responders to the principles of this world had further weakened his connection with the principles of the [Book of Gods].
The best way to obtain them now is to push the present world forward, propelling it towards an era where mortals can become gods!
To complete the unfinished work of his half-Nicholas in this world!
To create an era where mortals can understand the principles of the various planes through their own efforts, and in harmony with these principles, become gods.
Locke said to Orion, “I want you to spread a message throughout the world—Eleanor and Teus are getting married.”
Orion was confused for the second time. “But Eleanor is a goddess, while Teus is just a mortal.”
Locke said to Orion, “In the world I came from, there was no distinction between gods and mortals; everyone was human.”
“Since they are all human, then as long as they love each other, they can get married!”
This was indeed true.
Because of the White Wizard Association’s population-based wizarding law, only those legally defined as human could have corresponding rights.
This was a remnant of the pure-blooded human era in law.
And this meant that no matter what race a wizard originally belonged to, in the legal sense, they were ultimately just human.
Orion suppressed his shock and disbelief.
“As long as Teeus and Lady Eleanor are willing, that’s fine. Outsiders really can’t say anything.”
“But if this news gets out,”
Orion said with a wry smile,
“it will probably cause another huge uproar.”
A month later, in the city-state of Delius.
The wind giant Eleanor shrunk her body to the size of an ordinary giant, only three times the height of a human.
She wore a wedding dress, somewhat nervous and uneasy. In fact, she had heard a lot of rumors during this time.
Eleanor looked at Teeus, her eyes filled with love.
The two walked hand in hand to the city square of Delius to receive the blessings of the crowd.
Teeus was somewhat uneasy. “Eleanor. I am just an ordinary mortal blacksmith. Am I really worthy to marry you?”
The wind giant took a deep breath. She was also very nervous. She felt strange.
She was a god, yet she could be swayed by the words of mortals and believed that the union of a god on a crater and a mortal was some kind of taboo that could not be spoken.
The Wind Giantess shook her head, picked up the ring in her hand, and removed a testing ring.
“This is a gift from Teacher Nicholas. He told me that if I meet someone I love, I can give this ring to that person.” “
Teeus, I truly love you. Teacher Nicholas said that in another, much wider world, in a world of all kinds of races, everyone is equal in a sense. At least in the opportunity to strive.” “There is no distinction
between gods and humans there. Two people can love each other freely if they wish. No one can say anything.”
Eleanor took Teeus’s hand and walked to the very center of the city assembly, the center of the wedding ceremony.
“Teeus, let’s go and receive everyone’s blessings.”
The two stood at the center of the ceremony.
The crowd looked at this divine couple with complex emotions, witnessing the passionate love between a god and a mortal.
It was a shock to everyone.
Led by Orion, everyone began to applaud and offer their blessings to the couple.
The priest in charge of the wedding, facing Eleanor, the goddess of wind, and Theeus, an ordinary blacksmith, hesitated, wanting to say something, but found himself speechless.
Eleanor glanced at him, then removed a testing ring from her hand.
“My friends, the era of separation between gods and humans has passed. The gods have abandoned the earth and distanced themselves from us, yet the earth continues to thrive, unaffected by any external influences.” “
Professor Nicholas asked me to convey this message—there are no gods or saviors, and we rely on no one. The prosperity of this world depends solely on the efforts of each and every one of us.”
“For a long time, we have entrusted our fate to outsiders and gods, halting our own growth. But today, a new era begins.”
Eleanor personally placed the ring on Teus
‘s finger. When Teus put on the ring, he was surprised to find that it had automatically shrunk to fit his finger.
Eleanor asked Teus, “Teus, will you marry me, Eleanor?”
Teus blushed slightly, and under the complex gazes of the crowd, in the fading light of dusk, he whispered, “I do.”
A smile flickered across Eleanor’s face, like a young girl hearing the words she longed to hear. “So, will your promise last a lifetime?”
Teeus whispered, “Until death do us part.”
Eleanor replied, “Me too, Teeus. From this day forward, there is no distinction between gods and mortals; we are all masters of our own destiny.”
At that moment, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky.
The Law of Love was responding to both of them simultaneously.
Locke had previously discovered that the dimensional laws of this world were entirely open source.
That is, whoever performed specific actions in accordance with the dimensional laws and garnered sufficient attention from them could elicit a response from the dimensional laws.
This meant that any mortal in this world could receive a response from the dimensional laws and become a god.
This was why the giants on the crater and the Eye of God were wary of the large number of mortals.
All along, the Eye of God and the gods on the crater had been trying to prevent mortals from discovering this through control of the mortal world and the priestly hierarchy, thus ensuring their rule remained unchallenged.
And at this moment, because of Eleanor and Teeus’s [divine marriage], the Law of Love of the Three Holes World manifested and responded to them.
The Law of Love split in two, responding separately to Theeus and Eleanor.
Thus, simultaneously, amplified by the Law of the World, Theeus and Eleanor transformed into giants, representing the divine status of this world.
The people from the various invited city-states were all astonished.
“Mortals have become gods?”
“Theeus and Eleanor have both become…gods?”
“So mortals can really become gods? Is there really no difference between humans and gods?”
Orion suddenly spoke up, “It’s not that there’s no difference. But humans can indeed become gods through cultivation. Just by becoming a Ranger, one can transform from a human into a god.”
Orion couldn’t help but glance sideways at the two gods of love.
He hadn’t expected Theeus to actually become a god.
At this moment, he finally understood his treant teacher’s thoughts.
Orion stood up and announced to the crowd, “A great era is about to begin, an era in which everyone can become a god.”
“The world has no need for saviors or gods; each of us can be our own master. We can achieve prosperity through our own efforts.”
Above the heavens, the gods were immediately plunged into astonishment and extreme rage, especially the Fire Giant, who was absolutely furious.
“Mere mortals can become gods?”
“How dare they?”
“No! Only those chosen by Nicholas and the Supreme God can become gods; this is the original rule.”
Flames erupted from the Fire Giant’s pupils; his anger caused the Law of Fire to manifest, but unfortunately, his flames could no longer reach the mortal realm.
At this moment, the Fire Giant realized this with horror.
‘Why is my response to the Law of Fire decreasing so rapidly?’
Deep within the heavens, the eyes of the Persepolis gods shifted, filled with doubt, tension, and anger.
“The Celestial Realm, the Demon Wolf Hell, and the mortal world all now possess dimensional barriers. Most of the principles of dimensionality originate from the mortal world. The place most easily resonates with the principles of dimensionality is the mortal world!” “
Again…”
The Celestial Realm trembled. Originally atop the crater, it was lifted by countless dimensional forces. At this moment, the second principle of dimensionality vanished—the principle of war.
It was as if some kind of balance had been broken.
After the appearance of the two Cupids, Orion also resonated with the power of war. Coupled with the death of the War Giant, the principle of war had now left the Celestial Realm and entered the mortal world, transforming Orion into a giant as well.
The Three Hole Worlds, which had stagnated for years, finally seemed to show a glimmer of vitality.
The entire world began to rotate.
Simultaneously, the world’s will showed signs of awakening.
The dimensional principles originally controlled by the Divine Eye now trembled wildly, trying to break free of its control.
The Divine Eye sensed that the God-King and Nicholas seemed to be returning.
The Divine Eye was immediately terrified.
“No.”
“Damn wizards. Damn Nightmare Legion. You destroyed everything I had. I was so close to resurrection, just one last bit!”
…
Three-Dimensional Plane, the present world, five years later.
During these five years, because Locke spread the method of becoming a god throughout the world, many Rangers, after meeting the requirements, resonated with the principles of the planes.
The principles of steel, the principles of kingship, the principles of earth…
and some other smaller principles of the planes…
The power to mobilize the entire mortal population of the present world is infinite, because among so many mortals, there will always be someone very suitable to resonate with certain principles of the planes.
In just five years, 23 people in the present world of the Three-Dimensional Plane have resonated with the principles of the world. Of course, only those who resonated with the principles of steel, kingship, and earth were second-ring beings; the others might only be first-ring beings, and many were even only first-class wizard apprentice beings.
But in any case, there are 23 ‘gods’ in the present world at this moment.
The number is the opposite of the heavens.
At this moment, the radiance of the Celestial Realm is far less than before. The myriad rays of light that once supported the Celestial Realm, formed from the principles of the various planes, have now diminished by at least half.
The height of the Celestial Realm… is decreasing.
Because the height of the Celestial Realm seems to be supported by the principles of the various planes, as these principles return to the mortal world, the Celestial Realm’s height is decreasing, while the magical tides of the mortal world are growing stronger.
At this moment, Locke, hands behind his back, stands before the third Garden Cave Heaven. He senses the awakening of the plane’s will in the three cave worlds, and the “Do As You Please Without Overstepping the Limits” is gradually forming within him.
At this moment, it is the Divine Eye that dares not open the Celestial Realm, fearing Locke’s direct attack.
At this instant, the Celestial Realm seems more like a place of exile from the mortal world, constantly falling.
Locke, who had originally exhausted the Zero Elixir by crafting the three cave heavens and was unable to replenish his spiritual light, is now automatically replenished by the infusion of world power due to the “Do As You Please Without Overstepping the Limits” principle.
Locke, hands behind his back, looks at the three Garden Cave Heavens before him and chooses to merge them.
“So I said, the blockade is useless. My friend from Persepolis, do you understand now?”
Above the heavens, the eyes of the Persepolis gods flashed with unprecedented panic.
He sensed the heavens descending with the ascension of mortals to godhood, he sensed Nicholas and the God-King returning, and he felt the world’s will’s hostility towards him.
“God-King… don’t forget our agreement. No… you cannot return. I only have a divine name left. I cannot accept your return. Don’t forget our agreement; I have been fulfilling my duty for you!”
…
In the present world of the Three Caverns, Locke took out a Garden Cavern from the Synthetic Cube.
He looked at the description of the Garden Cavern—Three-Layer Verdant Nursery Garden Cavern.
Level 9 Synthetic Item.
A cavern built of three high platforms, possessing a more wondrous ability than an ordinary Verdant Nursery, capable of elevating a magical plant to a greater height, greatly improving its quality, and bestowing upon it the [Strong Imaginary Root].
Synthesis complete!
Locke glanced at the entry and immediately realized that this three-tiered verdant nursery grotto was likely a completely new garden grotto structure.
However, he would have to wait until he returned to the wizarding world to research it further.
He could imagine he’d be able to publish quite a few articles.
At this moment, Locke placed a pineapple wizard’s shoe seed into the grotto.
The entire grotto resembled a three-tiered platform, like a giant zigzag staircase.
As his seed fell into it, it immediately took root and sprouted, growing into a seedling on the massive verdant stone staircase.
The pineapple wizard’s shoe seed even caused cracks to appear on the verdant three-tiered zigzag staircase.
The entire world was in turmoil.
The dimensional power of the [Book of Gods] deep within the sky above Locke’s head released an incredibly intense radiance, seemingly finally establishing a definite connection with him, attempting to transform into a shooting star and cross the dimensional barrier, falling towards Locke.
At the same time, the three-story verdant nursery/grotto garden disintegrated in mid-air, turning into rubble that fell piece by piece.
The second-ring pineapple wizard’s shoe, his second creation of a second-ring wizard’s shoe, was born!
The magical tides of the entire world rippled in response.
