“Boom!”

The statue shattered into pieces and a flash of silver appeared. From inside the statue, out flew a silvery apparition. It was the apparition of the wicked god. However, this apparition was no longer as strong as before. Instead, it appeared to be weakly.

Merlin knew that behind him, Wizard Dara was watching carefully. Wizard Dara did not know of the existence of the divinity, that was why Merlin offered to deliver the last blow. He was hoping to obtain the divinity without raising any flags.

“Bang!”

Both thunder and fire wrapped around the apparition of the wicked god. Unless and until the divinity was snuffed out, the god would not die! Merlin was deeply aware of this unique characteristic of the gods. Therefore, once the wicked god’s apparition had been engulfed by the combination of fire and thunder, he waited until the apparition was almost burned down and the divinity’s aura was at its thickest. Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the divinity.

At that moment, the divinity was very feeble. Given some time, the wicked god could rely on the divinity to recover.

“Divinity, true divinity!”

Merlin was very excited. This was a true divinity, the same as the strand of divinity that he had managed to obtain in the Glorious Land. Moreover, this time, the volume was larger. It was a bundle of divinity, rather than just a single strand of divinity.

Merlin was very fortunate to be able to obtain this divinity successfully. If the wicked god had already managed to coalesce into a real body and relied on this divinity, then Merlin would not be able to hit the body of the wicked god without first exhausting the divinity. That way, he would not have been able to obtain a complete divinity.

Even back then, when the Great Legendary Wizards opposed gods with a large amount of divinity, they had to rely on the power of suppression for infinite periods until the Power of Faith had been cut off and drive the gods into a slow death.

“Whoosh.”

Merlin grabbed the divinity and immediately chucked it into his ring. When he turned around, Wizard Dara did not seem to have discovered anything out of the ordinary. Instead, his face was full of excitement.

“Haha, we finally succeeded. Let’s go. The wicked god is dead. Let’s destroy this shrine completely so that we’ll qualify to enter the Glorious Pavilion.”

Wizard Dara laughed as he and Merlin left the shrine. Then, he cast Star Flame and set the shrine on fire. The raging fire quickly engulfed the huge shrine. With that, Merlin and Wizard Dara made their way back to Dara City.

...

Inside Dara City, Merlin and Wizard Dara met in a secret chamber. Wizard Dara took out some Memory Crystals. These Memory Crystals were very precious but for the sake of this mission, Wizard Dara had prepared some of them.

“Wizard Merlin, this Memory Crystal contains the entire process in which we destroyed the shrine. Don’t worry, this will be presented to the Glorious Wizard inside the Glorious Palace, and only one Glorious Wizard will know about it. No matter who we are, the Glorious Palace would not care. My casting tool, for example, would be coveted even by the Great Wizards but the Great Wizard in the Glorious Palace would not have any untoward intentions. All the missions have always been submitted to this Great Wizard, and for the past so many years there have not been any problems.”

Wizard Dara’s meaning was obvious. Some of the scenes in the Memory Crystal might reveal both their secrets but the Wizard in charge of mission submissions apparently guarded his lips as steadfast as Alcatraz. Many Wizards had submitted their missions, coupled with the fact that the ones submitting missions in the Glorious Palace would not be average Spell Casters, so, they too must have had secrets. Nevertheless, after so many years, none of those secrets had been leaked, proving that this Glorious Wizard in the Glorious Palace could be trusted.

Wizard Dara was asking for Merlin’s opinion. After all, Merlin’s secret seemed to be even greater than his casting tool.

Merlin stewed for a moment. His secret was that he was a Spell Caster from beyond the heavens but based on the scenes inside the Memory Crystal, it would not give that away. At most, he would appear to be slightly abnormal. After all, he was only a Fourth-level Spell Caster. Even if he immediately constructed the two remaining Fifth-level spells, he would still only be a Fifth-level Spell Caster.

The only concern left was Darkness Eye. Perhaps Wizard Dara did not know of this special Pandora Demon Ability but the same could not be said of the Great Wizards inside the Glorious Palace. If they had left this dimension and traversed the Void Zone before, then they might have stumbled across legends of Darkness Eye.

After all, Darkness Eye was too infamous. Back then, there were only a few Honored Legends, and one of them was the Legend of Darkness who created this powerful Pandora Demon Ability. Thus, many of the powerful Spell Casters had left behind legends about it.

If the Glorious Wizards in the Glorious Palace found out about Darkness Eye, then Merlin would be in a precarious situation.

“Wizard Dara, have the Glorious Wizards in the Glorious Palace left this world before?”

Merlin asked in a deep voice. He did not mention dimension because Wizard Dara might not know what a dimension was.

Wizard Dara’s gaze was a little peculiar. After some hesitation, he said, “Wizard Merlin, do you mean leaving this dimension? Actually, you don’t have to be subtle about it. The Great Wizard Mogan isn’t like those gods that view us as foolish beings. Wizard Mogan is very open-minded. He told all the Spell Casters that our world is only one out of hundreds and thousands of dimensions. Beyond the heavens, there are countless other dimensions and worlds that are similar to us.

“Once someone becomes a member of the Glorious Palace, especially the Great Wizards, they can leave this dimension and go beyond the heavens... However, according to my knowledge, the Wizard who specializes in examining the missions have always been in the Glorious Palace and had never left this dimension.”

Merlin was a little surprised. He did not expect that Wizard Mogan was so open-minded and did not hide anything, unlike the natural gods that fooled the people in this dimension.

Although Wizard Mogan also disseminated some propaganda and painted the gods of this dimension into wicked gods that were complete evil, as a whole, Wizard Mogan passed down various spells, potions, and alchemy upon his arrival in this dimension. He developed this dimension quickly and had made it into a thriving Spell Casters’ dimension.

Perhaps, this was the common purpose that Spell Casters departed the Glorious Land and headed into hundreds and thousands of different dimensions. It was to develop each of these foreign dimensions into thriving Spell Casters’ dimensions.

“So, Wizard Merlin, have you decided? We can’t alter anything inside the Memory Crystal otherwise it would not be accepted by the Glorious Palace! If we want to qualify to enter the Glorious Pavilion, we have to submit this Memory Crystal to the Glorious Palace. When the time comes, the Glorious Palace would send Wizards to the wicked god’s shrine to check.”

The Memory Crystal could not be altered. If they wanted to enter the Glorious Pavilion, then they would have to submit the Memory Crystal. The only saving grace was that the Glorious Wizard who oversaw the mission submissions had never left this dimension.

Thinking along these lines, Merlin made up his mind. He also held hopes to enter the Glorious Pavilion. He nodded. “Let’s go to Glorious Palace and submit this Memory Crystal to them.”

Wizard Dara was overjoyed. He led Merlin and departed from Dara City.
