Ophelia stared in astonishment at the unfolding scene.
Her ancestor was no longer roaring or raging. It had stopped mere inches away from her, making no move to attack. At this moment, it merely gazed quietly at the sky, as if earnestly awaiting something.
But after a moment...
Nothing happened.
The Ancient God did not look upon this place, nor was it moved by Ophelia's "devout" prayers.
Antius roared in even greater fury, feeling deceived.
Ophelia's face showed both helplessness and disappointment. She knew this would be the outcome. If she truly could have called upon that existence for help, how could she possibly have fallen into such dire straits?
Antius lunged viciously toward everyone present. In the next second, they would all be crushed into fragments by this colossal creature.
But in that final moment between life and death...
Tilis suddenly opened her eyes.
A breathtaking magical aura erupted from her body, and a torrent of overwhelming magical energy swept through everything.
The entire Dragon Tomb began to tremble violently. Within a radius of ten kilometers centered around Tilis, all rock formations rumbled loudly.
[Twelfth-Circle Spell - Move Mountains and Fill Seas]
In ancient times, legendary mages used this spell to reshape the terrain, either for defense against enemies or to alter ecosystems. But today, Tilis aimed to take the entire underground palace with her, along with Antius!
In an instant, the massive underground palace structure buried deep beneath the ground disappeared. The surface above quickly collapsed, forming a vast and deep black crater.
The Wignar soldiers stationed outside were astounded by the sight...
Outside Heglais Town.
Evelyn, sitting on a rock with Luo Wei, watching the spectacle, also showed a look of shock.
The fight between the Guildmaster and the Elder had suddenly seen another massive figure crashing down from the sky.
It had a huge black body, a thick tail tipped with a sharp point, and a pair of towering black wings on its back. Its head lacked visible eyes, but boasted a pair of menacing black horns.
A colossal individual from the Nightmare species, rumored to be a black dragon, the founding emperor of Wignar, Emperor Antius.
"This... this, this..."
Evelyn was stunned.
"Is this... your other ally?"
Luo Wei smiled and nodded. "Surprised?"
"Wait, no, there's more!!"
Evelyn pointed in shock at the sky. A blue light sphere enveloped several people descending from above, accompanied by countless massive stone meteors.
No! Those weren't even stones. With another flash of light, a vast black shadow covered the sky once more—a massive stone building complex!
"Quick! Dodge!"
Without Evelyn needing to say anything, Luo Wei immediately grabbed her and prepared to take her further away from the battlefield.
But at that moment, Tilis, who had raised a massive magical shield, landed in front of him.
The blue magical shield also enveloped both Luo Wei and Evelyn.
With a loud crash, the ground quickly subsided, and a cloud of dust rapidly spread in all directions.
In the instant that the palace complex crashed into the ground, the vast horde of insects, which seemed abundant in number, was annihilated in an instant. The Elder, half-human and half-insect... died an inexplicable and pitiful death under this kind of devastation.
The dust obscured the vision completely, so Luo Wei looked at those around him.
Tilis gazed at him quietly, her eyes carrying a gentle smile. With her came a sullen Ophelia, as well as two small fish in the pond, Caroline and Shadow Guard Jason...
"Uh..." Luo Wei slowly let go of Evelyn's hand that he had been tightly holding.
With so many people arriving at once, it suddenly felt a bit awkward.
"Luo Wei, I did it." Tilis said with a smile.
Luo Wei looked at her and nodded gratefully. "Thank you, I knew you could do it."
Seeing the two gaze at each other with such understanding, Ophelia's voice drifted over.
"Luo Wei, I need an explanation."
Luo Wei looked helplessly at her. Ophelia was covered in dust and her clothes were ragged, looking quite shabby...
"This is a long story..." He chuckled bitterly, "You can think of it as... a troublesome and annoying guy wanting to watch the fun of a trio dilemma..."
"What trio dilemma?" Evelyn was completely confused, not understanding why the mage had turned into such a state, nor the incredible events she had just witnessed.
Tilis showed a contemplative expression. Luo Wei had told her some before, and now it seemed a bit clearer...
"You mean that terrifying existence turned our Guildmaster, the Elder, and the imperial ancestor into this state?"
She looked astonished, "What kind of existence could accomplish all this? It's unbelievable!"
What kind of existence... Luo Wei thought of the grinning fellow and felt a surge of irritation.
His gaze slowly shifted to a spot not far away. As the dust gradually cleared, Naya was now sitting on a stone slab moved from the tomb, looking at him with an indescribable, complex gaze.
What's the meaning behind this look?
Luo Wei's brow furrowed.
Just as he was puzzled, Naya's gaze suddenly turned toward the center of the battlefield.
Under the previous devastation, only figures the size of the Guildmaster and Antius could have survived. The two massive beings were already roaring and colliding with each other.
"Devour! Devour!!"
"Hunger! Hunger!!"
Luo Wei snorted coldly. To devour, to hunger? I'll satisfy you both. Eat each other to your heart's content!
Like Luo Wei, Naya also showed an eager and excited gaze.
Her little feet swung back and forth.
"Hehehe! Fight! Fight!!"
"What a show today~"
But what made her even happier was yet to come.
With a twist in the spatial fabric, a bone-chilling sensation enveloped Luo Wei entirely.
He looked towards that direction. It was a mass of twisted lines, making the entire space disorienting.
The Hunting Hounds.
Luo Wei's action of opening the door had drawn the attention of the Hunting Hounds. And this time, compared to Tilis's encounter, there were even more of them.
"No! It's the Hunting Hounds!" Tilis looked nervously at Luo Wei. Her fear of these creatures had deeply ingrained itself into her soul.
"Wait a moment..." Luo Wei motioned for her to calm down.
Because the heavy hitter was yet to appear.
Ophelia suddenly frowned. She felt something and looked around in surprise.
Soon, not only was Ophelia surprised, but the others around them also tensed up.
Everyone felt an indescribable gaze upon them.
It was an ancient and profound existence...
Naya raised her eyebrows. She lifted her head and looked at the sky.
"Even this one couldn't hold back..."
"Hehehe, the fun's just getting started~"
Ophelia and Naya's reactions immediately made Luo Wei understand who was watching the battlefield and the chaos.
The Ancient God, Nothus...
Luo Wei's expression was growing more and more uncontrollable.
In this mundane, unremarkable town, such heavy hitters had gathered...
A Guildmaster produced by a god-making plan.
A Nightmare King with strength comparable to an Outer God.
A pack of Hunting Hounds whose power level defied description.
An Ancient God, Overlord of the Great Abyss, Master of the Dreamlands...
And an Outer God watching the fun, Nyarlathotep...
The entire northwest was a chaotic mess...

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
