“At such a time… Such good timing.”
“Isn’t it? She waited for so many years before making a move.”
The Gods all had different expressions.
Clearly, a part of them knew about Dark Phoenix and had fought against or with Dark Phoenix in the 3rd Era.
The New Gods all had different attitudes toward Dark Phoenix, but most of them couldn’t help feeling disgruntled with her taking such a good opportunity to ascend.
“Magic God… hehe, such a frightening God Domain.”
“If she is successful, wouldn’t there be another God with very high Divine Power?”
The thoughts of a few Gods with bad intentions spread out.
The three Great Gods were expressionless.
They didn’t even care much about what happened in Feinan but were instead more focused on the depths of the Universe Magic Pool.
The 4th Fate Tablet was there, calmly waiting for their arrival.
In their eyes, this was the only valuable thing in all of Feinan.
Three Fate Tablets appeared in succession in the 3rd Era, and they were all shattered. Only two thirds were obtained by people. Those people went through the ritual to ascend and become immortal Gods. In this attempt to ascend, half of them failed.
These fragments also disappeared during the rituals.
The remaining third of the fragments wandered throughout the universe, turning into all kinds of strange things.
Like Fortune Fairy Ding, who was once the [Fortune] fragment of the Fate Tablet.
It could be said that the 3rd Era’s Fate Tablet Fragments changed the whole structure of the world.
Nowadays, in the God Realms, the Ancient Gods were retreating, disappearing, or maybe resting in slumber. The New Gods were basically prevailing. And this was closely related to the large burst of Gods in the 3rd Era.
But the key to these people becoming Gods rested in the Fate Tablet fragments.
A small fragment was enough for a peak Legend to ascend to Godhood, so how could they not be interested?
And according to the prophecy, the 4th Fate Tablet was hidden by Wizard God Lance. It was in the Universe Magic Pool, and it was complete!
This was a complete Fate Tablet. What kind of power would it bring to those who were already Gods? This was what they longed to know.
Particularly the three Great Gods.
There were already few in the Universe that could match their power. They weren’t interested in the appearances of Dark Phoenix and Eric.
They only focused on the 4th Fate Tablet.
And anyone blocking their path would be ruthlessly crushed.
“Hurry up, I don’t want to waste too much time.”
The Dawn and Protection God raised his hand and Divine Power condensed into a spear. It viciously flew through space at Eric!
The spear was extremely fierce and pierced the Astral Beast’s body, and shockingly, Eric was nailed onto the 2nd layer of the Universe Magic Pool!
“Rumble!”
The Universe Magic Pool shook violently.
The Gods immediately pounced on Eric, covering him in attacks!
…
Feinan.
It was a world of suffering.
Apart from the locations protected by the Sources of Fire’s Order, people had kept dying at the hands of the Wizard Monsters.
But the moment Dark Phoenix started her ascension ritual, all the Wizard Monsters stopped.
Their eyes seemed to regain clarity.
The Wizards that were 3rd rank or higher took advantage of this opportunity to break their amulets.
In an instant, a layer of Divine Power wrapped around their bodies.
A gentle voice echoed in their minds, “Serve me and I’ll grant you glory.”
“Heed my name and I’ll grant you magic.”
“I am the Magic God, Dark Phoenix.”
Hearing this, all the Wizards were shocked!
They hadn’t thought that they would sink into such a situation.
They saw their own bloodstained hands and a portion of the Wizards immediately went crazy. Some were calmer, while others shuddered!
What had they done?
After Chaos invaded their minds, they killed everyone at their sides almost instantly!
Some even killed their beloved wives, their close companions, and their own children!
They were in great pain.
And Dark Phoenix’s voice began to take advantage of their pain. “Serve me and I’ll soothe your pain.”
“You’ll forget everything and become the supreme servants of the Magic God.”
“After today, the Magic God’s Servants will become the most respected existences in Feinan.”
Some Wizards began to contemplate, some making their decisions…
As time slowly moved forward, a huge shadow slowly appeared in the southern part of Steel City.
The Divine Fire in the center began to shine increasingly stronger!
Because she had made the most suitable preparations, she was able to smoothly pass the most dangerous part of the ascension.
At that moment, the minds of all those Wizards connected with her Divine Power.
Because those Wizards had yet to believe in her, she had to provide amulets with Divine Power to communicate with them and try to convince them.
She had spent a millennium preparing for this day!
Now, it was about to be successful.
In her consciousness, numerous threads shone brightly.
Those were the Wizards accepting her radiance and becoming her first followers!
Their belief would give her some Divine Power to help deal with the early stages of the ascension.
And in return, she would use her own Divinity to protect these followers and not let the Chaos invade their minds.
Because she had yet to become the Magic God, she had no way to completely control the Chaos invading her followers’ minds, and she was at her weakest.
If no followers gave her Divine Power, she wouldn’t be able to keep protecting them and the ones she had just linked up to would immediately collapse.
And everything she had done before would be a waste.
Protecting all of their minds was extremely taxing on her Magic Power, so doing so much was a big risk.
If she succeeded, with the position of Magic God as well as a powerful Domain and a large amount of followers, it was highly likely that she would become a High God!
Lying low and then suddenly soaring in the sky.
This was Dark Phoenix’s principle.
After a millennium of enduring patiently, the outburst of power was very frightening.
The entirety of Feinan was filled with Wizard Monsters. These Wizards had been in the spotlight for so long and now suddenly had such a bitter experience. They were at their weakest.
She took advantage of this to gain their trust.
With the way the things were going, she would at most need three days before her ascension ceremony was successful!
As long as no one disturbed her midway.
But that would be too perfect. Dark Phoenix herself knew that she had many enemies.
Although the most troublesome ones had already gone to fight the Gods, there were still people who could pose a threat in Feinan!
White River Valley’s group for example!
But Dark Phoenix had already made plans for that!
…
White River Valley had already been caught in a huge crisis.
The second the Divine Fire burst out, Marvin assembled everyone and wanted to hurry to Steel City and stop Dark Phoenix’s ascension.
This was the best opportunity to kill her, and the other Legends also understood that.
They couldn’t follow the Great Elven King to fight those Gods, but getting rid of an ascending God in Feinan was good too.
But unfortunately, Dark Phoenix’s arrangements were so fast that even Marvin nearly was caught off guard!<
br />
A dark mass appeared in the surroundings of White River Valley!
It consisted of more than 5000 low level Wizard Monsters that had set off from Jewel Bay and crossed over the Shrieking Mountain Range.
The Source of Fire’s Order could disperse the Chaos Magic, but it couldn’t directly harm the Wizard Monsters.
These Wizards Monsters had clearly been discarded by Dark Phoenix. She bewitched them and manipulated them to attack White River Valley!
With the added effects of the Chaos Magic, these Wizard Monsters were very frightening!
When the first batch of enemies appeared near the northern mine, the flame of Order gave an early warning.
Even if Marvin was prepared, he was startled by the staggering amount of Wizard Monsters.
5000 2nd rank Wizard Monsters!
Wasn’t this number too frightening? Dark Phoenix really had made good preparations.
She knew the importance of White River Valley to Marvin and thus gathered the unsuspecting 2nd Rank Wizards in the southern part of Jewel Bay shortly before the disaster.
And this move was critical at this time.
Marvin had no choice but to face this ordeal first!
How should he stop such a dense army of Wizard Monsters?

From his position on the peak, Marvin was truly startled when he saw the hordes of Wizard Monsters.
He had assumed that Dark Phoenix would do something after the Great Calamity began, but he hadn’t expected this woman to manipulate so many low level Wizards.
To accomplish this, she had probably overdrawn her Divine Power and other types of power, perhaps even part of her spirit.
Five thousand Wizard Monsters would be a very frightening force with the addition of the Chaos Magic Power.
If it were another place being attacked, it would likely have ended up in ruins.
Fortunately, Marvin had contingencies in place for all kinds of possibilities, including even the worst case, which would be if the wild beasts corrupted by the Chaos Magic Power all besieged White River Valley.
He still had an answer to this situation.
The only issue was that these Wizard Monsters had arrived too suddenly!
They were 2nd rank Wizards who rode on flying carpets, covering the sky and the ground.
The monsters on the Shrieking Mountain Range were bellowing furiously, trying to attack the Wizards who dared to fly over them.
But because of the shattering of the Universe Magic Pool’s first layer, the Shackles of Order were locked even more tightly.
The entire continent was sinking into extreme chaos, yet the Shrieking Mountain Range, one of the most dangerous locations, had become the most orderly place because of the Shackles of Order set by Lance. This was so very ironic.
The Wizard Monsters suffered almost no losses when flying over the Shrieking Mountain Range.
The troops stationed at the northern mine clearly didn’t have the strength to face these ex-human monsters.
“I need time!” Marvin shouted in a loud voice.
The Legends had gathered around him as soon as he finished igniting the flame of Order.
Constantine nodded and took the lead to go out. Despite not having fully recovered from his serious injuries, Izaka roared and flew into the sky to intercept the first wave of Wizard Monsters, successfully attracting their attention!
Although Izaka had been injured by Tidomas and was still seriously hurt, he was an Ancient Black Dragon in the end!
The Ancient Black Dragon had a very powerful characteristic: Magic Immunity!
These Wizard Monsters were attracted by Izaka and a huge amount of magic flew toward him.
But Izaka didn’t suffer any harm.
With his protection, the people in the surroundings of the northern mine began to retreat.
The Legends also attacked.
Facing such a large army of Wizards, only the Legends would dare to make a move.
“Boom!”
The sound of a cannon echoed as Constantine led the Shas to launch an attack against the Wizards!
O’Brien rushed into the middle of the swarm of Wizards. That guy’s strength was tyrannical. With enough time, he would be able to slaughter the entire Wizard Monster army by himself.
But what they needed the most right now was time.
Dark Phoenix hadn’t sent these guys to put an end to White River Valley. She just wanted to buy time in order to increase the ascension ritual’s chances of success.
Marvin knew this.
After the Legends flew out and quickly stabilized the situation, he kept pulling out one treasure after another!
He had made proper preparations for this disaster.
When White River Valley’s inhabitants first saw the Wizard Monsters appearing, they were frightened.
After all, the scenes in the sky showed the destruction caused by these monsters, making the civilians and adventurers afraid of the power of these Wizards.
They had thought that the massacre shown happening all over Feinan would spread to White River Valley, but the appearance of the Black Dragon and the Legends gave them hope.
They looked at Marvin’s back and became a lot less worried.
Lord Marvin was still extremely calm. This was the proof that he had a way.
Regardless of the difficulty, he would always find a way, wouldn’t he?
Gradually, this kind of feeling spread through White River Valley.
They all couldn’t help but raise their heads to see what Marvin would do.
…
The flame of Order was burning steadily.
An amber crystal floated in front of Marvin.
Earth Crystal!
This treasure was the foundation to establish an Ancient Sanctuary.
Only by using spells to dissolve the power inside the Earth Crystal could one lay the foundation of a Sanctuary.
An intact Earth Crystal was rare even in the past.
Marvin was quite fortunate to be able to gather one.
Besides the Earth Crystal, Marvin also had three scrolls in his hands.
Disintegrate, Wish, and Holy. He had gotten them from Pearl Island’s treasury.
In this era, only a few people knew how to establish a Sanctuary.
But in the game, everyone knew about it.
Because the Chaos Magic Power was still wreaking havoc six months after the disaster.
If the players wanted to establish a guild, they had to set up a Sanctuary.
A flame of Order wasn’t essential for a guild.
The crucial parts were an Earth Crystal, a Frost Core, a Seasons Tablet, Dark Saint Bones, and so on. These kinds of treasures that were able to alter the plane’s laws were the foundation to establish a Sanctuary.
After building the foundation, one would need a large amount of Magic Power to activate the treasure while forming the Sanctuary.
This condition was relatively harsh.
In general, a small-scale Sanctuary needed a Legend Wizard that was at least level 25 casting Legendary Wish a minimum of 11 times. Naturally, another option would be to gather 11 Legend Wizards at that level and have them cast Legendary Wish once each.
Legend Wizards were hard to come by, and moreover, Legendary Wish was one of the rarest spells.
Just studying it was very challenging, let alone using it.
Marvin estimated that in this era, there were at most three Legend Wizards on the continent able to easily cast Legendary Wish.
White River Valley didn’t have this kind of person, but Marvin had another idea in mind.
He had the three scrolls.
One of them was a Wish scroll containing [Major Wish]!
Major Wish had the effect of 29 Legendary Wish spells so it was more than enough.
With the Earth Crystal and the Wish scroll, it wouldn’t b
e difficult to turn White River Valley into a Sanctuary.
Marvin hadn’t used it for that sooner because he had been hoping that with the Source of Fire’s Order and the troops, he would be able to save this Major Wish scroll for other things.
Unfortunately, given the situation, he ended up with no choice but to use it.
He gently touched the Earth Crystal with his fingers.
He was already holding a magic staff in one hand.
As the spell activated, the Earth Crystal radiated with a dazzling glory.
Marvin didn’t stop, touching the Major Wish scroll as well as another scroll.
That was the [Holy] scroll!
Since he was going for it, he wouldn’t do it half-heartedly!
If he had to set up a Sanctuary, he might as well set up the strongest and most unbreakable [Holy Sanctuary]!

The Holy scroll was as powerful as the Wish scroll.
Although Major Holy couldn’t compare with the Shackles of Order set up by God Lance, the Order power contained within was very extraordinary.
The most important part was that Holy could repel evil chaotic lifeforms from entering the Sanctuary.
Marvin knew that with the current circumstances in White River Valley, a common Sanctuary wouldn’t be as good.
After being the first to ignite the Source of Fire’s Order, White River Valley was bound to be a thorn in many people’s eyes.
Although an ordinary Sanctuary could protect those inside and resist the Wizard Monsters, it would be unable to repel them and other monsters.
But a Holy Sanctuary could.
Two of the three scrolls were used at once. It would be wrong to say that Marvin didn’t feel any regret. But Pearl Island still had many resources, so it wasn’t quite so bad.
With the magic staff’s activation, the Earth Crystal merged into the peak below Marvin’s feet.
At that instant, everyone felt an aura that seemed as stable as a mountain.
Earth Essences circulated through White River Valley, making it feel like the earth was moving.
From the Spider Crypt in the north to the wilderness in the south, from Sword Harbor in the east to River Shore City in the west. The soil of this vast territory started becoming flexible…
