The Lord of Ashes

It wasn't until he returned to the Land of Ashes that Thain's relaxing and leisurely time finally arrived.

In the past tens of thousands of years, he has never had any leisure time.

At this time, there was no diplomatic mission entrusted to him by the higher-ups of wizard civilization.

Thain was finally able to relax and do everything he loved.

…

With Meili and several vice-deans helping him keep an eye on the development of the Ashes Holy Tower, he can be the mastermind.

Yes, it is still the Holy Tower of Ashes.

It is not the Tower of Ashes True Spirit.

It's enough to have Meili and others taking care of her.

After returning to the Land of Ashes, Thane first indulged himself severely.

The Kryptonian female warrior Kram and other exotic creatures did not return to the wizarding world with Thane this time.

The people who came back with him this time were all his "family members."

With the convenient teleportation array, it is quite convenient for Lina, Meikaly, Mayfair and others to return to the Black Realm.

Therefore, they have also temporarily stayed in the Holy Tower of Ashes recently.

Mel, the dragon warlock who used to be Thain's assistant, had also heard about Thain's return to the wizarding world a long time ago.

He came specifically to visit Thain, euphemistically speaking, to assist Thain with some unfinished experiments.

Thane couldn't care about experiments or anything like that right now.

He directly pulled Mel into his room.

The bed in Thane's room was... huge.

In addition to absurdity and indulgence, a new interest that Thain has developed in recent years is travel and nature sightseeing.

Instead of going to the various alien planes of the colorful Alliance to broaden his knowledge, Thane has been wandering around the wizarding world.

Of course, given the vast territory and area of ​​the wizarding world, even a fourth-level creature would probably not be able to visit it all in even a few thousand years.

But what's strange about Mel is that she and Thain have been separated for hundreds of years.

It has been more than a thousand years since Thane last returned to the wizarding world.

Why does Thane show such great obsession and nostalgia for the wizarding world?

What on earth did this guy go through.

Mel, who just came back, has not yet heard from Thain about his experience in a desperate world.

In addition to these "strange actions", Thain, who returned to the wizarding world not long ago, also directly donated 100 million magic coins in maintenance and construction funds to the Guardians of the Ashland organization where he belongs.

The members of the Guardian organization responsible for the affairs of the Land of Ashes are still two young strong men, Buchak and Mileni.

When the Land of Ashes force was first established, they were the two who came to serve as members of the "Pioneering" guardian organization.

He also helped many subsequent level 4 and above experts to build holy towers and knight halls in the Land of Ashes.

Now that nearly ten thousand years have passed, Buchak and Mileni have changed a lot.

Although they did not go to the frontline battlefield, they helped manage the wizarding world from the rear, and received gifts from the will of the mother plane, and now they have each advanced to a higher level of life.

Buchak is now an early level five male knight.

Ms. Mileni, who is more careful, has grown faster than the knight Buchak, and has transformed into a mid-level fifth-level female magician.

Ten thousand years have passed, and they are no longer considered "young".

Facing the 100 million magic coins donated by Thane, Mileni and Buchak seemed a little nervous.

It's not that the amount of money donated by Thain was too large, but that they were just nervous because of Thain.

The two people who had received greetings from the Guardian of Summer in advance knew that Master Thain in front of them was about to prepare for promotion to the true spirit.

Do you want to witness the birth of a true spirit level magician with your own eyes?

And it’s still within its own jurisdiction!

In the wizarding world, there are a lot of veteran guardian organization members who have more seniority than Buchak and Mileni. In their hundreds of thousands of years, they may not be able to witness a true spirit-level powerhouse up close. The birth of

The time when Buchak and Mileni came to work in the Ashes was less than 10,000 years ago, to be precise.

Are you going to have this honor?

No wonder the two were so excited.

He comforted Buchak and Mileni, and promised that after a while, he would report the promotion to the Guardian of Summer.

Thane then left the Guardians.

"Promoted to become a master?" Thain couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked up at the starry sky in the wizarding world.

…

167 years later.

Laboratory on the top floor of the Holy Tower of Ashes.

Thain looked down at his body and hands, and fell into deep thought for a long time.

More than a hundred years later, Thain has undergone great changes.

His body has reached the level of a peak despairer!

Obviously in the past hundred years or so

In the room, Thain did nothing.

His main energy was spent relaxing his tired mind and body.

I rarely even enter the laboratory.

But I don’t know why?

When the feeling of breakthrough comes, I really can’t stop it even if I want to!

Before leaving the world of despair, Thain was only one step away from reaching the peak desperate state. 🅆

But he didn't expect that his way of crossing this realm would be so "simple".

Although he has long had the strength to rival the master.

Not only that!

After the total amount of elements and life thickness of his body reached the level of a peak desperate person, Thane's growth and transformation at the cellular level still did not stop!

And constantly pushing him towards a higher realm...

"Is it the blessing of the rules of the mother plane?"

"The Guardian of Summer did indeed say that I received a lot of attention from the mother plane's will." Thain pondered.

I'm afraid it's more than that. The transformation of a magician mainly comes from knowledge.

It is different from the knights who have to deal with the body's flesh and blood intensity and cellular level.

The secrets of mechanical integration that Thain has mastered are enough to give him the knowledge reserves to enter the realm of true spirit!

Thinking about it, this is the main reason why Thain keeps getting closer to the realm of domination.

The help from the will of the mother plane can only be said to be secondary.

It is not yet the critical period for the survival of civilization in the wizarding world.

The will of the mother plane is unlikely, and some sixth-level peak creatures need to be forcibly promoted to dominate.

Thain's meditation and thinking lasted for several days.

A few days later, Thain shook his head.

He said to himself, "Now, it's not the time yet."

"Although my mechanical knowledge and rules mastery have reached the level of dominance."

"But the secret of ashes, which is one of my original laws, is not yet ready."

"The war in Faerûn will be an important battle for me to practice my secret of Ashes."

"After the war in Faerun is over and my power of ashes has transformed and improved, it won't be too late to consider being promoted to Overlord." Thain said with increasing certainty.

"As for now..." Thain pondered for a long time, and then flew towards the bottom laboratory of his Holy Tower of Ashes.

After calling in front of him more than a dozen advanced intelligent robots such as Fumila and Wall-E that could cooperate with him in conducting experiments, Sai

At the same time, En also called Lina, Mei Kelly, Mel and other magicians who could assist him to the laboratory.

"I need you to help me complete the self-sealing experiment!" Thain said to the women in front of him.

In order to contain his growing total amount of elemental power and his life state that is still trying to transform and improve, Thane must take some measures.

Gongsun Wudi had already done this method in the desperate world!

Thain just copied the situation she was in at that time to himself.

However, sealing others and sealing oneself are completely different things.

When Lina and others prepared bandages filled with the power of magic patterns and tied them to Thain according to specific circuits.

A brand new experience and visual effects appeared in front of Thane.

"Is this...the effect of the seal?"

Half a year later, Thain, who had completely completed his self-sealing, couldn't help but stand in the holy tower and look out.

Before the seal, he still had the strength of a peak despairer.

The current state has dropped back to the level of ordinary despairers.

That is, the level of his master Cuilisi.

The decrease in external performance strength did not cause Thain the slightest discomfort.

Instead, it made him even more excited.

Because this means that Thain still has room for improvement!

Only when one reaches the level of Gongsun Wudi, who has the peak desperate strength even in the sealed state.

Only then can we reach the true limit under domination.

From this point of view, Thain's fiancée who is a martial artist is really terrifying!

After tens of thousands of years of experience in a hopeless world, Gongsun Wudi's ultimate reward is no less than that of Thain.

And in a state like hers, once she is promoted to Dominate after being unblocked, the improvement and progress she will achieve will also be extraordinary!

The suppression of strength is not the same as the decline of realm.

Thane still has dominance-level power!

He can still pilot and control his own group of Thunder God fortresses, as well as activate other magical means.

Considering that one of the main functions of the Minghe Empire's self-sealing technique is the explosive period after the seal is released.

Thain's process of suppressing his own strength in recent years can also be seen as a contribution to enjoying more powerful power when it breaks out in the future!

Thain is looking forward to seeing how powerful he can be at that time.
