The Continent of Stone.
As one of the four continents in the Illusion Spirit World, the Continent of Stone features flat terrain and is extremely rich in ore veins and rare underground cave ecosystems.
At this moment, deep beneath the continent, at the bottom of the ninth subterranean level, a man of short stature but immensely powerful build sat upon a magnificent throne forged from diamonds, emeralds, gold, and platinum, radiating dazzling light. He threw his head back and roared, “The Earth Monarch has become my companion! From today onward, I am the King of the World!”
Beneath the throne, a dense crowd of Spirit Tamers and leaders from various factions gathered. Feeling the overwhelming power of earth elements, they all turned pale and knelt down in submission.
The political system of the Continent of Stone is more primitive compared to the other three continents, marked by savagery and bloodshed, and lagging far behind in terms of civilization.
However, relying on the power of the Earth Monarch, this ruler still had confidence in fully subjugating the entire continent.
“Immediately conquer the entire Continent of Stone! I want every race upon it to tremble in fear beneath my majesty, the third of the Greybeards!”
The stout dwarf named Greybeard III gazed with eyes shining with extraordinary brilliance.
Boom! Boom!
Just then, the ground violently trembled, and a giant human face emerged from the surface.
A power surpassing that of a monarch, reaching divine levels, descended, causing every Spirit Tamer within the stone cavern to shudder and press their heads even lower.
“What’s happening, my companion?”
Greybeard stood up in surprise, looking at the Earth Monarch who had appeared on its own.
“Go… to the End of the World…”
A string of information immediately appeared within his soul through their contract.
“The End of the World? The place of all beginnings, and also the location of all endings?”
Greybeard stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming even more brightly…
…
The Continent of Sea.
This continent, once the most severely damaged, had long since become fragmented, forming a chain of continuous islands connected by near-sea routes, creating a unique system of Spirit Tamers and Illusion Spirits.
Whoosh!
Before an island, the sea surged violently, with the dark waters seemingly concealing some kind of beast, stirring up tsunamis and waves hundreds of meters high.
Clearly, if the waves crashed onto the island, all living beings there would suffer instant annihilation!
Just as many Spirit Tamers were fleeing in terror, a blue light appeared on the reef in front of the island, revealing a girl who appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.
She had two small red coral horns on her forehead, blue scales on her body, and gill-like organs on her cheeks—she was a merfolk, a branch of the human race.
The sea wind howled, and the intense pressure caused the shells and sea snails on her body to emit a low humming sound.
“My companion… I need your power!”
The girl clenched her hands tightly, as if whispering a prayer. Suddenly, a vortex appeared before her, and from the seawater flew out a blue trident.
“Combat Technique—Sea Calm!”
Holding the trident, the girl raised it toward the apocalyptic tsunami!
Boom!
Invisible ripples spread outward, and then something astonishing happened—the hundreds-of-meters-high waves, seemingly destined to destroy everything, immediately calmed down. The sea surface instantly became as smooth as a mirror, revealing a clear blue sky with clouds and flying seagulls.
“Is… a god protecting us?”
The merfolk on the island, who had been on the brink of disaster, immediately knelt down in deep reverence, whispering prayers.
“Woof!”
At this moment, the girl’s trident emitted a hum, firmly pointing in a certain direction.
“You want me… to go there?”
The girl closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her face bore a determined expression: “The End of the World, huh?”
…
The Earth Monarch Gaeth, the Sky Emperor Klaus, and the Ocean Emperor Poseanos… have all appeared?
Near the Immortal Mountain of Fire on the Continent of Flame.
Wu Ming closed his eyes, sensing the activity of the four elemental forces in the world, murmuring to himself.
The Illusion Spirit Compendium was well known to him, mostly containing names of creatures native to this world. However, the four divine Illusion Spirits each had their own origins, with names distinctly different from those of the native beings of the Illusion Spirit World.
“The place of all beginnings and all endings—I should set off now!”
Wu Ming waved his hand, and the immortal fire phoenix let out a clear cry, carrying him skyward. In an instant, it soared past the central volcano, following the guidance of the world’s primal forces toward the depths of the ocean.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
High above the clouds, fierce winds howled, yet they were completely blocked outside the golden-green solar corona surrounding the phoenix, appearing as if a golden-green sun were flying at high speed.
Wu Ming calmly stood on the phoenix’s back, thinking about the legends concerning the origin of the Illusion Spirit World.
More than ten thousand years ago, in ancient times, the entire Illusion Spirit World actually had only one continent, with the current four continents all connected as one.
Moreover, the native inhabitants of this land did not possess the power of Illusion Spirits.
However, one day, a great disaster struck!
A comet from outer space, carrying an extremely powerful force, collided with the center of the continent, causing a catastrophic upheaval that even split the continent into four!
From that day onward, the surviving creatures on the four continents began various mutations, gaining extraordinary abilities known as Illusion Spirits!
The power of Spirit Tamers began to emerge and reshape the entire world!
“The location of the End of the World should lie at the center of the four continents… precisely where that comet once fell!”
Wu Ming’s eyes began to gleam with intense light: “If I’m not mistaken, if I succeed this time… the rewards will likely be tremendous…”
The End of the World had long been sealed, and this time, only with the emergence of the four divine-level Illusion Spirits would it appear.
“Chirp chirp!”
The speed of the divine immortal phoenix was naturally astonishing, even surpassing that of the Great Peng King.
In less than half a day, it had already crossed the entire Continent of Flame and arrived at the endless ocean.
Among the Illusion Spirit World, the ocean was the largest in scale.
Likewise, the number and strength of Illusion Spirits living within it were the most powerful. Except for the coastal areas, the deep sea represented forbidden territory, where oceanic rulers were powerful enough to trouble even monarch-level Spirit Tamers.
Of course, all of this posed no trouble whatsoever for Wu Ming.
The phoenix skimmed low over the sea surface, and the terrifying temperature immediately caused massive evaporation of seawater. The intense pressure compressed the sea surface, forming a semicircular white wave channel.
All the monarchs sensing the phoenix’s aura immediately dove deep, hiding in trenches and trembling in fear, with not a single one daring to emerge and cause trouble.
Zila!
Dark clouds gathered on the horizon, suddenly revealing a vast expanse of thunder.
The center of the four continents, perpetually shrouded in thick fog and dark clouds, was known as the Lost Sea. Even monarch-level Spirit Tamers who entered it would never return.
The phoenix let out a clear cry and effortlessly plunged into the dark clouds.
Crack!
Lightning flashed!
Numerous bolts of lightning danced like silver snakes, pouring down like rain, fully unleashing their power.
Puff!
The lightning, brimming with immense destructive force, encountered the golden-green flame of the solar corona and was immediately incinerated, turning into black smoke and dissipating.
The phoenix’s eagle-like eyes flickered with a trace of disdain as it suddenly accelerated.
Who knew how long passed before a dark shadow suddenly broke through the thick clouds, dragging a long white trail of mist and arriving at the interior of the Lost Sea.
Sunlight poured down.
The sky was a clear blue, cloudless, smooth as jade, exuding a charming luster.
Wu Ming’s gaze was immediately and irresistibly drawn to an island on the sea surface—within this sea area, this was the only large island.
Undoubtedly, this was the End of the World, the place of beginnings and endings!
“Roar! Roar!”
“Awoo! Awoo!”
…
On the large island, various strange Illusion Spirits flashed past, their auras extremely powerful. Illusion Spirits of the Lord class were everywhere, and even Monarch-class Illusion Spirits were commonly seen.
“Good…”
Wu Ming touched his forehead; the connection with the Main Temple still existed.
And sensing the fire elemental forces in the world allowed him to know that the other three terrifying existences had already entered the cloud layer and were about to descend upon this final location!
“Pity… back when I crossed over, the Main Temple captured fragments of future world lines, but they ended abruptly right here…”
He controlled the immortal fire phoenix, slowly descending, his face still wearing a smile: “However… based on what I’ve seen and heard, I can roughly guess what’s about to happen next…”
“Chirp chirp!”
“Caw caw!”
The landing spot was a grove of fruit trees. Giant trees reached toward the sky, their branches heavy with jade-green fruits, while white mist swirled around them.
“Feathered Immortal Fruits? The top-tier resource of Wood attributes… and there’s an entire grove?”
Standing on the treetops, Wu Ming looked down at the landscape below, resembling a primordial forest, with a troop of monkeys frolicking and playing.
“Taishan Gigantic Apes! Reversing Heaven Divine Monkeys! All ancient Golden Lineage breeds, rarely seen in the outside world, yet here they’ve formed a community!”
Facing him, a black Taishan Gigantic Ape stood tall and mighty, its appearance fierce, with a group of golden-furred baby monkeys playing on its back, creating a surprisingly harmonious scene.
“Of course, considering the danger level of this island…”
Wu Ming closed his eyes: “Those who haven’t reached the Lord-class Spirit Tamer level probably wouldn’t even have the qualification to step foot on the beach…”
“Jiji!”
After arriving here, the immortal phoenix’s behavior also became quite strange.
It stretched its wings, retracted all its aura, resembling a homesick wanderer, appearing very relaxed, yet its eyes held a trace of bewilderment.
“You can go wherever you want!”
Wu Ming lifted all restrictions, letting the phoenix lead the way slowly toward the island’s center.
“This place… truly is a paradise for Illusion Spirits, where even the rarest species are commonly seen…”
All along the way, rare medicinal plants, materials, and various Illusion Spirits appeared continuously, almost making him feel overwhelmed.
