“Although I don’t know what he is scheming, he definitely wants to destroy this world by introducing this new variable, you.”
“But I can see from your eyes that you definitely will not do that… Lance… What are you trying to do?”
There was a bit of confusion in the Truth Goddess’ eyes.
It was worse for Marvin. What he learnt today was related to the Universe’s deepest secret.
He was just a small Ruler of the Night, he simply couldn’t get involved in this.
But he was inextricably linked with all parties of that terrifying game!
…
From what the Truth Goddess said, the two opposing sides of the game were Feinan’s Plane Will and Lance, Feinan’s God of Creation.
Lance wanted to destroy this world, and Feinan’s Plane Will obviously wouldn’t agree.
In fact, as the core of the universe, as the Prime Material Plane, Feinan was the original source of all the planes, including Hell, the Abyss, the Astral Sea, the Negative Energy Plane, the Underworld, as well as a large number of Secondary Planes.
Feinan’s Will was the Universe’s Will.
For some reason, Lance couldn’t directly destroy this world on his own, and thus, he could only foster his own power, targeting the order of the Universe.
The Universe Magic Pool was, in fact, not created by Lance to protect the world as was ubiquitously believe.
On the contrary, it had been a cage designed to sever the connection between the Prime Material Plane and the other planes in order to slow down the Plane Will’s growth.
And the reason he decided to break that cage now was that he felt that the best opportunity had come.
How would one destroy a Universe?
He believed that sinking the Universe into endless chaos was the most dependable way.
The established Universe Magic Pool had absorbed a great amount of Chaos Magic.
This time bomb gathered it continuously for more than a millennium and had enough Chaos Magic Power to plunge Feinan into a state of pandemonium.
So time was up.
When the Prime Material Plane sank into chaos, the rest of the planes would definitely grow restless.
Hell and the Abyss bore the brunt of it, and the Negative Energy Plane naturally wouldn’t be far behind. Moreover, there were the Wilds outside the places protected by the power of Order, the Beasts that had been suppressed. All of that was enough to have Feinan’s inhabitants massacre each other and destroy that world!
This was Lance plan!
Feinan’s Plane Will wouldn’t just sit still as it all happened.
It started sensing the dangerous thoughts of the Creation God a while ago.
It began looking for some guardians.
And the first Guardians of Feinan… were the Anzed Witches.

Chapter 638: Terrifying Game (3)
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
In the entire Universe, the Witchcraft system of the Anzed Witches was unique.
The Anzed Witches were completely different from the Wizards. The Authorities of their Witchcrafts originated from the earliest Plane Will.
At that time, Feinan Plane had just formed and the Plane Will was very lively. If compared to Humans, it was like a youth feeling excited about the world.
The Plane Will of every Prime Material Plane would have that kind of period.
And during that time, the Ancient Gods were born, high and mighty, overlooking the earth.
Under the lead of Lance, the Wizard God, they expelled many monsters that were coveting Feinan.
At the same time, the first Humans appeared, the Anzeds.
The rise and fall of the Anzeds was short-lived in history. Even the Pearl Tower barely had any information related to them.
It was said that only the Twelve Witches of each generation knew of those secrets.
Because they were Feinan’s first Plane Guardians and their leader, the Witch Queen, was Feinan’s strongest.
…
Due to reasons that have been lost to time, the Anzeds disappeared from history and the High Elves took over the world.
Thus, the High Elven King became the new Plane Guardian.
This situation continued until the Ancient Elven God withdrew and the High Elves left Feinan to head for their distant Sanctuary.
Afterwards, Feinan’s Plane Will began to lie dormant.
The Plane Guardian positions were no longer occupied by just one group of people, but rather a varied scattering of people.
They had obtained the favor of Feinan’s Plane Will by some chance, and after several arduous tests, they became the Guardians of the Prime Material Plane.
And in this era, there were four Plane Guardians.
Legend Wizard Anthony was the East Guardian. The mysterious old man guarding the Azure Matriarch was the North Guardian. In fact, the presence of a mere Azure Matriarch wouldn’t need him to personally keep guard. What he was guarding was in fact the World Ending Twin Snakes suppressed in the Ethereal Plane. The Azure Matriarch was the only seed left by the World Ending Twin Snakes in Feinan, and that glacier likely was a link between Feinan and the Ethereal Plane. The West Guardian was known to be Xunshan Monastery’s Cloud Monk. From what the Truth Goddess said, he was the one who held the position of Plane Guardian the longest. He might have even been there before the 3rd Era, which meant that he had possibly experienced Lance’s Time Reversal.
The last Plane Guardian was naturally the Great Elven King, Nicholas.
Although the High Elves had left, the Wood Elves, as the closest subordinates to the High Elves, chose to remain in Feinan.
It was said that even now, the Wood Elves still held the way to open the far distant Sanctuary. They were closest to the High Elves, and thus it was very natural for Nicholas to become one of Feinan’s Plane Guardians.
Feinan’s Plane Guardians resulted from Feinan’s Plane Will.
They represented the resolve of Feinan’s Plane Will through their determination to protect this land.
…
“But they are all gone.” After listening this far, Marvin couldn’t help but interject.
Anthony died to the joint scheme of Glynos and the Twin Snakes Cult. The other three Plane Guardians all died in the battle over the Universe Magic Pool.
Feinan had no more Plane Guardians.
No one could protect this heavily damaged and formerly beautiful land.
“No.” The Truth Goddess’ answer was very firm.
“Plane Guardian is only a title. There are actually quite a few people that are still willing to use their lives to protect this land.”
“Moreover, I already said that this game is still underway. How could Feinan’s Plane Will be so easily defeated?”
“Do you think it’s really due to luck that three Fate Sorceresses would suddenly appear at the same time when they were rarely seen in thousands of years?”
The Truth Goddess’ answer made Marvin quiver a bit.
And the sentence that followed left him completely speechless:
“The outbreak of Fate Sorceresses, the return of the Anzed Witches, and that little girl in the North… In my trip through Feinan, I even felt the aura of the High Elves in Thousand Leaves Forest! The four Plane Guardians died, but the essence of Plane Guardians would never fade. Don’t you also have a Plane Guardian aura on your body?”
Her gaze was calm, but she was able to see through everything.
Standing before the Goddess of Truth, Marvin felt as if he wasn’t wearing any clothes, like she could see through everything about him in one glance.
In fact, he’d always had a faint feeling that the appearance of the Three Sisters at the same time might not be coincidental, but when the Truth Goddess mentioned them now, he couldn’t help but feel sorrowful.
So, it seemed that not only was he a chess piece, but the people he was in contact with were also par
t of this game.
He was already aware that Fate Power came from Feinan, which meant that Fate Sorceresses were candidates to become Plane Guardians. Marvin had no doubt about it. As for the North’s Valkyrie, Eve, it was said that she inherited the legacy of a Valkyrie from an ancient era. Her body most likely had some Anzed Bloodline, and her power likely came from a guardian power of the Anzeds. As for Hathaway and the Anzed Witches she represented, they seemed to be on the path to return to prominence. The seven petals representing the seven Greater Witchcrafts had already been gathered. The Witches’ ruler was very likely to return to Feinan!
As for the High Elves… The silhouette of that small messenger running all over the place with her Golden Griffin appeared in his mind.
“Butterfly…”
The first High Elven Queen.
At this point, Marvin couldn’t help but scratch his head as he asked a strange question:
“Why are they all women?”
…
This out-of-place question seemed to baffle the wise Truth Goddess.
She hesitated for a while before frowning. “Your question is very strange, but you do have a point.”
“Why is it that the potential Plane Guardians of this generation are all women?”
“This… I also don’t know.”
Marvin smiled bitterly.
Pure coincidence? Probably not?
As for Marvin’s own Plane Guardian halo, it was purely because Lorie gave him the chance to get it. Otherwise, even after killing Dark Phoenix, the Plane Will still wouldn’t have paid much attention to him.
Could Feinan Plane’s Will be disliking males?
After hearing such a terrifying story, Marvin felt that even if all this was true, he wouldn’t make too much of a fuss.
He had already heard enough today to make ordinary people collapse.
…
“All in all, you play a rather important role in this game.”
“Lance needs an outside element to break the inner balance to this Universe, and you did it. He won’t let you off so easily.”
Molly softly warned, “Trust me… One day, Lance will find you.”
“At that time, you’ll face a choice.”
“I’m telling you this now because I think you have the right to know all this. I have no idea what the future will look like.”
“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Marvin nodded.
He looked at Molly’s nearly perfect face and suddenly thought, ‘As Feinan Plane’s Protector God, the Truth Goddess is also a woman… Why does Feinan’s Plane Will favor so many beautiful women?’
‘Could it be that the Ancient Elven God and the Ancient Nature God were also women?’
Before he managed to remove that preposterous thought from his mind, the Truth Goddess sent him out.
“Your friend is looking for you.”
“I’ll send you back.”

After digesting those secrets divulged to him by the Truth Goddess, Marvin quickly composed himself.
He knew that he didn’t have to make a decision yet based on what the Truth Goddess told him.
After all, with his current level of strength, even though he knew the truth, he might not be able to affect the overall situation.
The Truth Goddess cared a great deal about Marvin’s future.
Everyone could see that if no one stopped Marvin, he would definitely grow into a force that couldn’t be ignored.
The strange part was that although he had clearly been chosen by Lance, Marvin was actually quite close with the people chosen by Feinan’s Plane Will.
Those fascinating women had a deep friendship with Marvin, except for the Valkyrie, who first met him because of what happened regarding Dark Phoenix’s ascension.
And the first Plane Guardian, the Anzed Witch Queen Hathaway, had a deep connection with Marvin. The two were like sweethearts who hadn’t brought it out.
As one of the involved parties, the feeling was complicated for Marvin. Even though he had the Wisdom ability, he didn’t know what would happen in the future.
For this kind of thing that couldn’t be controlled, Marvin wouldn’t trouble himself too much over it.
He believed in the Truth Goddess’ judgement… but Marvin wouldn’t immediately conclude that Lance was the traitor of this world, a super powerful villain.
He reasoned that there were probably still other things about that matter that he didn’t know.
After all, Lance had given him hope with this rebirth, so Marvin wouldn’t lightly judge whether he was right or wrong. He had to personally uncover the truth!
He had to become stronger!
…
The Black Dragon God had dispatched a Martyr to deal with Marvin, but the result was something outside everyone’s expectations.
The Martyr had sacrificed himself in vain to create the Self-Immolation Fire, Black Dragon Wing was destroyed, and the Black Dragon God was greatly injured. As for the one who managed to steal the Ancient Nature God’s power, Glynos, he had confidently entered the plane to try to kill Marvin, but the Truth Goddess suppressed his Divine Source, allowing Marvin to kill him!
The overall result was that Marvin’s Ruler of the Night class leveled up twice, and his False Divine Vessel grew in power once again. His strength increased by leaps and bounds.
The only pity was that he hadn’t gotten to absorb the Shadow Prince’s Divine Source, or else he would have become even more powerful.
One more thing worth mentioning was that before he left her God Realm, the Truth Goddess gave him a huge gift.
That was Glynos’ Shadow Domain.
As one of the most powerful Ancient Gods, and enhanced by the effects of the Truth Scale, Molly had unfathomable Divine Power.
She had directly extracted the power from the Shadow Prince’s Shadow Godhood and gifted it to Marvin.
She already saw through Marvin’s advanced False Divine Vessel.
With this huge gift, the Shadow Domain in the False Divine Vessel got a large expansion.
Marvin swept a glance across his interface and saw that the description for his Shadow Domain in the advanced False Divine Vessel had changed:
[Domain 2: Shadow (Perfect) (Costs 30)]
[Perfect Domain variation property – Ruler of Shadows]
[Ruler of Shadows: You are the absolute ruler in the shadows. Attributes +100%. Enemy Attributes -20%.]
Ruler of Shadows!
When Marvin saw that property, he opened his eyes wide.
That property was simply heaven-defying.
Because he had broken through the Godly Dexterity bottleneck, Marvin’s body had already started deviating from the normal Humans’ path with the help of the advanced False Divine Vessel, making it understandable for him to gain overpowering attributes.
But doubling his attributes… Wasn’t that too frightening?
This meant that from now on, within the Shadow Plane and at night, he would be invincible against people at the same level as him. He could even win against opponents that were ordinarily much stronger than him!
If Marvin wasn’t wrong, Glynos should have had that property in the past. But after he absorbed the Nature Power, the Shadow Plane rejected him, causing him to lose the bonuses of Ruler of Shadows.
Back when Marvin killed the Shadow Prince in the game, there had already been many Legend rogues who had gained the Shadow Domain and kept nibbling away at the absolute authority over the Shadow Domain. Because of that, Glynos had long since lost the Ruler of Shadows bonuses and thus was killed so easily.
This time in Black Dragon Wing, Marvin took huge risks, but gained a huge reward.
If not for that discussion in the Truth Goddess’ Realm, he would be feeling overjoyed by now.
But unfortunately, after finding out about that frightening confl
ict between Lance and the Plane Will, Marvin couldn’t remain happy.
He and his friends fought for their own ideals, but they ended up becoming chess pieces in others’ game?
Wasn’t this rather ironic?
As Marvin thought of this, a glimmer appeared in his eyes. ‘Even a chess piece might not necessarily let someone unscrupulously control it.’
‘If this world is really a chessboard, I’ll simply charge forward on a rampage, ignoring the rules. I’ll rush out of the chessboard and personally see what kind of person is able to control what happens on the board!’
At that moment, Marvin’s mind was as firm as ever!
…
In a dark corner of the Underworld.
Marvin smiled at the grumbling Ding.
It was fine with Jessica, as she only expressed her dissatisfaction with Marvin’s risky behavior.
But she also knew that the situation at the time was critical. The Martyr’s Self-Immolation Fire wasn’t something that could be easily extinguished.
If Marvin had made any major mistakes when handling things, he might have ended up disappearing in the fire.
After leaving the God Realm, Marvin heard Ding’s call. With her help, Marvin successfully returned to Feinan and reunited with Jessica.
This didn’t differ that much from their original plan.
After Ding complained for a while, her expression suddenly changed into one of delight. “Eh? Seems like you did something useful?”
“The monsters surrounding Hope City already started scattering away.”
Marvin and Jessica looked at each other, and the former suddenly reacted with a jolt.
If the monsters surrounding Hope City had scattered, then there should only be one explanation.
That Ghost Mother had died. As for how she had died, she was probably…
Crushed to death.
In fact, the Crypt Monster’s violent awakening and the Martyr’s explosion had created very frightening tremors, causing large sections nearby to collapse.
That collapse was mainly focused on the area west of the Great Vortex. A large hole even appeared in the Sage Desert, causing huge amounts of sand to flow into the Underdark.
The Ghost Mother controlling those Dark Specters should have been crushed to death at that time.
