Wayne was unable to speak about what had happened there. It was said to be Wizard God Lance’s personal request.
The only thing Marvin knew was that when Wayne returned to White River Valley, he was already a Legend Wizard.
And even in the Legend Realm, he was above Marvin.
A level 6 Legend Wizard!
When Marvin noticed Wayne’s level, he almost spat blood.
‘Why are they called Seers?’
‘Wouldn’t Cheats fit them better?’
‘Who is the one with an exaggerated levelling speed?’
‘Me?’
‘I can’t even compare with my little brother!’
‘And he is only 10 years old!’
‘Given time, how outstanding would he be?’
But what worried Marvin wasn’t Wayne’s refusal to say anything about the Shrine in the Wilds, but rather, Lance’s goal.
Seers and Fate Sorceresses were actually the same kinds of people. They had a very deep connection with the Plane.
They were people who were treasured by Feinan’s Plane Will, even if it was shown in different ways.
Marvin also didn’t understand the details.
His understanding of the Seers was far from equal to his understanding of the Fate Sorceresses.
However, faction-wise, regardless of what happened, Wayne should belong to the side supporting Feinan’s Will side.
If it was just as the Truth Goddess had speculated and Lance was preparing to destroy this world, then he and Feinan’s Will were actually enemies.
In this case, why did he summon Wayne, a Seer, to his Shrine in the Wilds?
This was a huge question, and Marvin had no clue as to what the answer could be.
…
In short, under Lance’s guidance, Wayne seemed to have found the Wizard Path left behind by a civilization from a long-lost era.
He obtained almost all of the inheritances of the Wizard God.
And in that shrine in the Wilds, he had probably practiced for a long time until he reached the level of Plane Guardian.
But because of an accident, he had to leave the shrine in advance.
That accident was the Fate Tablet.
The Wilds’ Shrine was a very mystical place. After Wayne left there, he forgot almost everything about it.
He only remembered Lance’s Avatar teaching him the path of the Ancient Wizards.
Until he made a mistake and the 4th Fate Tablet got out of the shackles that had been keeping it sealed, allowing it to escape from the shrine.
It caused all of Feinan to shake.
“I have to return it.”
“This is my responsibility and my mission,” Wayne conscientiously said. “The 4th Fate Tablet is very important… I don’t have the details, but I definitely cannot let it fall into the hands of any others!”
“Others?” Marvin frowned.
Wayne nodded and clarified, “Everyone besides me!”
After saying this, he looked at Marvin with burning eyes, “Brother, will you help me?”
Marvin remained silent for a bit before nodding with some difficulty.
He didn’t know why, but he had a bad feeling about all this.
There was something about his little brother that he couldn’t quite grasp.
He hadn’t changed… but there seemed to be something more to him now.
His thirst for the Fate Tablet was so strong that Marvin even began to have some suspicions…
But he quickly suppressed these Ideas.
In any case, Wayne was his younger brother.
Regardless of how bad the situation was, he was the dear brother standing behind Marvin that he needed to help and protect.
Since he wanted the Fate Tablet, Marvin would help him get it.
Despite that path being full of thorns and him not knowing how many people were lusting after that tablet that could change the entire structure of the Universe, Marvin was still confident. As long as it was in Feinan, he would have his ways to get it!
“Rest first, I’ll make some preparations.”
“The Fate Tablet should be in the First Mountain Range. You can try using Arcane Positioning to determine the direction. It would be the best if you are able to open a Long Distance Teleportation Door.”
Marvin knew that at his level, Wayne should certainly have long-distance displacement abilities.
But he didn’t know if Wayne had learnt the relevant spells.
Shortly after, he left the study.
This time, he returned to White River Valley because of something important.
In the Eternal Frozen Spring, Marvin found the sixth page of the Book of Nalu whose pages he had been collecting for half a year.
Before leaving for the First Mountain Range to fight over the Fate Tablet, he decided to completely merge with the 6th Page.
The runes of the Wisdom Chapter let him know that it would be likely for some unpredictable things to happen when six pages of the Book of Nalu merged.
Marvin was looking forward to what this Artifact would bring him.

The Book of Nalu.
The most mysterious Artifact in the world of Feinan.
At the same time, to many, this was a very frightening item, an Artifact filled with destruction.
The God of Deception used what remained of his Divine Power to write a book before his downfall.
It was said that Feinan’s future destiny could be seen in that book.
But the book went through a very twisted path.
A powerful God once read it, and it led to his entire God Realm exploding.
It could confuse people, but it could also point the path ahead. It could give you strength while also corrupting your soul.
Originally, even though that thing was powerful, Marvin wouldn’t dare to use it without extreme circumstances.
But the Wisdom Chapter gave him confidence.
Especially after the fight in the Eternal Frozen Spring. Those runes seemed to have regained their glow.
When Marvin got hold of the page of the Book of Nalu in the Eternal Frozen Spring, those runes kept rearranging themselves.
A message appeared in Marvin’s mind.
He had to synthesize these six pages of the Book of Nalu!
He now had four pages of the Book of Nalu in hand:
[6th Page – Rebirth]: From Thousand Leaves Forest.
[11th Page – Reincarnation]: From the Dragon Library.
[2nd Page – Prosperity]: From Black Knight Sangore.
[8th Page – Captivity]: From the Eternal Frozen Spring.
Of the other two, one was hidden in Hathaway’s Ashes Plain.
Marvin quickly travelled to the Ashes Plain through the Teleportation Array.
At that time, Hathaway temporarily hid that page of the book of Nalu for a good reason. She was afraid that Marvin wouldn’t be able to handle the power of the 3rd Page, Destruction.
Thus, she set up a small mechanism in a certain floor of the Ashes Tower.
Marvin current had incredible willpower, and furthermore, he had the Wisdom Chapter protecting him. In less than 20 minutes, he managed to retrieve that page of the Book of Nalu.
Only the one in the Underground Palace of the Night Walkers was left.
To enter the Night Walker Underground Palace, Marvin needed to ask for permission from the Leader of the Night Walkers.
Marvin hadn’t heard any news of O’Brien, and so he could only head back to White River Valley to seek out the old blacksmith, Sean.
In the beginning, it was this old blacksmith living in seclusion in Oak Town who led Marvin on the path of the Night Walker.
As the inheritor of the Night Monarch’s will, he would most likely one day become the next leader.
But that would be left up to the future, which was always full of vicissitude.
For now,
he needed the key to enter the Underground Palace.
But when Marvin found the blacksmith, the old man who normally was always at his furnace forging was sitting surprisingly silently.
His daughter, Jane, was accompanying him, a worried expression on her face.
“You came.”
Sean’s voice was deep, carrying untold meaning.
Marvin couldn’t help feeling guilty when he saw the blacksmith’s face filled with wrinkles.
He had been very busy with the matters of the territory and the rest of Feinan recently. It seemed that he hadn’t visited his old mentor in a long time.
Even though he had already turned into a Ruler of the Night, without Sean’s guidance, he wouldn’t have been able to advance so smoothly.
“I…”
Marvin didn’t get to finish his sentence before Old Sean cut in while bitterly shaking his head. “Don’t worry, kid, I have no intention to blame you.”
“You have done a lot for this territory, for this world. I’ve seen it.”
“Everything you did is what the Night Walkers should do, you are very capable. I am proud of you.”
Marvin scratched his head, a bit surprised.
“Well, what do you need my help for?” the old man calmly asked.
Marvin didn’t beat around the bush and directly told him what he needed.
The old blacksmith was silent for a moment before finally saying, “I can give you the key to the Underground Palace… In fact, it’s time to hand it over to you.”
“It’s just that, after you come back from the Underground Palace, you have to promise me to do something.”
Marvin nodded. “What is it?”
Old Sean took a deep breath and said, “Kill the Molten Archdevil!”
Marvin felt that something was amiss.
Shortly after Old Sean desolately sighed:
“O’Brien… He died.”
…
O’Brien was dead.
When Marvin heard this, he was left completely dumbstruck!
He had never thought of the possibility.
He had never expected this could happen.
‘O’Brien!’
‘A powerhouse second only to the Plane Guardians!’
‘How could he die?’
‘He was someone that could easily crush the Molten Lord and force the Eight Headed Azure Matriarch into submission.’
Even if the two hadn’t been in contact for long, O’Brien was the kind of person that gave others a feeling of trust.
As long as you stood beside him, you could depend on him to support you.
Even if there were thousands of enemies in front of him, he wouldn’t even frown.
He was the Leader of the Night Walkers, one of the strongest in all of Feinan!
When Marvin fell from the World Tree, O’Brien had angrily rushed south, destroying the Twin Snakes Cult and beating the Azure Matriarch to a bloody pulp despite her undying body!
When the Great Calamity began, he also held off countless Wizard Monsters by himself.
He also helped Marvin stop Tidomas’ avatar!
He was such a reliable leader.
He was usually silent, but he was a paragon of the idea that actions speak louder than words.
He died like this?
Marvin couldn’t accept it!
…
“What happened?” Marvin’s voice quivered a bit.
Before he left the Supreme Jungle, he only knew that O’Brien and Constantine had headed north together. There had apparently been an issue with the Night Walker stronghold to the north.
At that time, he hadn’t even considered that the two of them might not be able to resolve the issue in the stronghold despite joining hands.
Old Sean shook his head. “I don’t know.”
“I only know that he died at the hands of the Molten Archdevil. It is all related to the Molten Archdevil.”
“After the Universe Magic Pool shattered, the Molten Archdevil was one of the first to invade. The northern stronghold already fell.”
“O’Brien died. Constantine and Sophie are still on the run.”
“This key is the permanent key to the Night Walker’s Underground Palace. I am now giving it to you.”
“There is no time to hold complicated ceremonies.”
“From today on, you, Marvin Cridland, are the Night Walker Leader.”
Old Sean solemnly finished, “You have some matters to deal with!”
Marvin clenched his teeth, quickly taking that key.
“I will.”
He didn’t remain with the old blacksmith for too long.
He was already short on time.
Constantine and the other Night Walkers were being chased down by the Molten Archdevil’s avatar. According to the Night Walkers’ information, they were fleeing south, and their path should take them near the location where the Fate Tablet had fallen.
Marvin could only have Wayne go first.
He had to take a trip to Thousand Leaves Forest on his own.
The Underground Palace was there.
Butterfly was also there.

When Marvin reached Thousand Leaves Forest, he clearly felt that this originally very peaceful land was now brimming with dangers.
There were even more Elven Iron Guards patrolling than ever before, and they looked a bit exhausted.
But there was the cover of the Source of Fire to help them, so Thousand Leaves Forest hadn’t been overrun by monsters.
From the information Madeline had briefed him with, after the bloodbath of those elders, Ivan was officially crowned as the new Great Elven King.
Marvin thoroughly understood that matter.
The bloodbath was his handiwork, and the purpose was to root out the dissidents.
In this cruel era, democracy and freedom had become luxury goods. The Wood Elves needed a leader that could lead the people on a path of survival, not an inefficient Elder Council that could only fight for power with their own people and each other.
But what shocked Marvin was that the Sea Elven Queen surprisingly became Ivan’s consort.
This information was spreading around the Elven Iron Guard by mouth, and Marvin couldn’t confirm whether the news was actually reliable.
Ivan and Marvin had interacted several times, but they both weren’t idle people anymore. They had their own important matters to take care of.
The only thing they could do was to wish each other well.
When Ivan was crowned as the Great Elven King, Marvin was still fighting in the Crimson Wasteland, so he hadn’t been around to see it.
The only good news was that even if Ivan wanted to hold a wedding, that would also have to wait until all of this turmoil settled down at least somewhat.
Marvin wouldn’t want to miss the wedding of a friend… Although he was curious what the Sea Elven Queen did to become engaged with that one, who had been rumored to not like women, Marvin suspected that the story given in the rumors was true.
Ivan was outstanding, but one of his only flaws was that he was a bit undisciplined.
It seemed that the Sea Elven Queen was truly the most suitable woman for him.
Whether it was character or status, they both complemented each other well.
…
However, Marvin did not inform Ivan when he arrived at Thousand Leaves Forest.
Before leaving for the First Mountain Range, he would naturally greet his old friend, the High Elf that the Bloody Emperor had mentioned, Butterfly.
But before this, he had to take a trip to the Night Walker Underground Palace.
In fact, as he got closer to the Underground Palace, the feeling in his heart became more and more intense.
The runes from the Wisdom Chapter almost seemed to be trying to come out from his body.
&nb
sp; Those strange runes were now tightly sticking to Marvin’s skin, flickering with silver light. From afar, Marvin even looked like a bunch of huge fireflies!
He felt a bit speechless about his odd appearance.
He couldn’t control the runes of the Wisdom Chapter. If they remained in this state, how could he be stealthy or hide himself?
So he first had to settle that problem.
That page of the Book of Nalu in the Underground Palace should be the answer.
…
Because he obtained the key from Old Sean, Marvin didn’t need to pass any tests this time and directly entered the Underground Palace.
He quickly found the bookcase with the Ruler of the Night Advancement Manual and then located that page of the Book of Nalu.
This was the 1st page of the Book of Nalu, [Origin]!
When he held that page in his hand, something mysterious happened.
The other five pages of the Book of Nalu in his storage automatically scattered, coming out on their own.
The six pages of the Book of Nalu floated in the air, forming a pale yellow circle.
Some sounds were emitted from the pages.
It felt as if the pages of a heavy history book were constantly being flipped.
A powerful attractive force rose up between the six pages of the Book of Nalu, and under Marvin’s careful watch, the pages suddenly began fusing!
This time, it was a true fusion!
In that split second, River Shore City’s Madeline, those two Legends in White River Valley, and Raven in the Underdark, all of them suddenly became pale and powerless, falling to the floor!
They could each feel their own lifeforce becoming incomparably weak.
They felt as if death was before their eyes.
But they couldn’t resist!
After they gave their souls to the Book of Nalu, they no longer had any that they could call their own.
They were only bodies that kept on living, an echo of the person that once was.
…
Marvin was also very surprised.
The Book of Nalu had a total of eleven pages, and gathering the previous five pages hadn’t caused such an extreme effect.
This event should have been triggered by finding the 1st page.
‘What is the Wisdom Chapter hinting at?’
‘Could it be that the key to assembling the entire Artifact is this 1st page?’
