Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 541 - 48: The Beginning

"What is there to discuss with them?"

Turning to glance at Yifuli, Carl shrugged and said:

"The Divine requires absolute obedience. For unstable elements like you, they will naturally try to persuade you whenever possible; if persuasion fails, then suppression follows."

"Trying to walk the Knight Path under the eyes of the Gods is unlikely to work."

"You..." Yifuli’s expression changed:

"Are you also a Knight?"

"Regrettably." Carl sighed:

"Besides being a Holy Knight, I am also one of the Divine’s Favored, though with a different God than they worship."

"Let’s go!"

He waved his hand:

"If you’re unwilling to worship a God, then take your people to a desolate place to survive and cultivate."

"Otherwise, honestly choose a God to worship."

If Carl were only a Holy Knight, no matter how powerful, it’s impossible for the Divine’s Favored to accept him.

Not just him.

Mei Weiya is the same.

Though Mei Weiya doesn’t worship the Divine, her body carries the God’s Bloodline, which counts as being akin.

In summary...

To survive here, one must have some connection with the Divine, even if false is better than none.

"Swish!"

With a flash, Carl disappeared from his spot, reappearing in the temple of the town.

At the center of the spacious and luxurious temple, a palm-sized stone floated, exuding a dense fiery aura.

"A Third Tier Fire Element Crystal?"

Carl’s eyes brightened as he reached out to grab it.

This thing is very useful for Wizards practicing Fire Magic; it can not only assist in cultivation but also in crafting Witch Artifacts.

Sadly, such items are only born in extremely harsh Illusion Realms or crafted by Divine Power. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Got one.

It’s a pleasant surprise.

His figure rapidly circled the temple, scavenging everything useful before swiftly leaving.

......

A battlefield ruin somewhere.

The victorious side raised their butcher’s knife, pressing over a thousand defeated soldiers to an open ground.

A Wind God’s Favored dressed in white stood with arms crossed, looking down at the defeated soldiers, and snorted coldly:

"Convert to the Wind God or die..."

"You choose one!"

"Divine Envoy!" someone raised their head and shouted:

"We are willing to convert, but our families are in the hands of the Fire God’s Favored. Before coming here, she said if we change our faith, they will die."

"That has nothing to do with me." The Wind God’s Favored said coldly:

"I have an agreement with the Fire God’s Favored; as long as I don’t personally take action, the winning side is entitled to two towns to propagate their faith."

"Enough!"

He seemed a bit impatient:

"The choice is before you, convert to the Wind God or die; now is the time to choose."

"Hmm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up to the sky.

A red line descended rapidly from the heavens, initially just a single point but soon filled the vision.

"Boom!"

A mass of fire collided head-on with the Wind God’s Favored, as if two figures were fighting fiercely within.

In the blink of an eye,

The fire dissipated.

Carl held the corpse of the Wind God’s Favored, searched briefly, and then regretfully threw it before the crowd.

"To the ones below."

He addressed the crowd below:

"I’ve heard there’s another Fire God’s Favored nearby, which direction is he in?"

"..." Someone instinctively raised a hand, pointing to a certain place, immediately followed by Carl’s rapid departure.

He disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Leaving only a lifeless corpse and the previously fiercely fighting groups.

Soon after.

Above a city.

A Divine’s Favored promulgating the teachings of the Flame God was attacked and slapped dead on the spot by a giant Buddha hand.

Days later.

A disheveled Carl appeared above a desert.

"Killing the Favored yields Source Material quickly, but sadly it’s too dangerous, almost couldn’t escape."

Looking at the data panel, he couldn’t help but smile.

Name: Carl

Constitution: 45.3

Spiritual Power: 39.5

Source Material: 0

Level: Second Tier Holy Knight, Second Ring Wizard

Abyss Bloodline Fusion: 65%

In just a few days, spiritual power had reached nearly forty points, reaching the Second Tier Late Stage.

The power of witchcraft surged.

Unfortunately, his recent frenzied actions attracted the joint ambush of many of the Divine’s Favored, and he’s been on the run for the past few days.

"But I should have completed Mei Weiya’s task, diverting the followers searching for her and her daughter."

The Divine’s Favored are not common entities.

Because of his actions, those originally searching for Mei Weiya and her daughter were led away to hunt him, buying them time to refine their bloodline.

"Hmm?"

"There’s a reaction!"

Pulling out a wooden plaque, Carl’s eyes flickered, then he tossed it into the air. The plaque emitted a spirit light, tearing open a rift in space.

"Space transmission!"

"Alas, it’s a one-time use. How many secrets does Mei Weiya hide to be able to craft such an item?"

With a fleeting thought, he stepped into the space rift.

Soon after he left, several powerful auras descended from the sky, landing where Carl had just been.

"Escaped!"

A white-haired follower’s face was grim:

"It should have been space transmission. The world rules cannot contain Third Tier power, and I can’t lock onto the target across space now."

"Then use divination, calculations, and cause-and-effect types of Divine Arts," a Divine’s Favored said viciously:

"He killed four of the Fire God’s Favored, we absolutely cannot let him go this easily!"

"It’s useless," another Divine’s Favored shook their head:

"I tried. He seems to be under destiny’s protection, and trying to deduce his location results in chaos."

Destiny’s protection?

The few people present changed expressions slightly, then their eyes showed unwillingness.

In the canyon.

Carl’s figure emerged through the void rift.

"Carl."

Mei Weiya smiled:

"Thank you for your hard work."

"No problem." Carl stretched his limbs:

"To me, killing the Divine’s Favored can please the gods and also increase my strength."

"Now..."

"Where is Ferdinand?"

"There!" Mei Weiya gestured upward:

"Right above."

Carl looked up, his eyes immediately narrowing.

A massive black cloud hovered high above, occasionally flickering with lightning.

There was no aura leaking, but the vaguely visible enormous figure was enough to make onlookers breathless.

Third Tier Late Stage!

Even heavily injured, Duke Ferdinand still possessed Third Tier Late Stage power, just a step away from a Third Tier Peak Demigod.

Moreover,

Under such rule suppression, the strength displayed by Third Tier Late Stage and Third Tier Peak isn’t much different.

"I used a special curiosity to temporarily trap him, but to kill him, we must act personally."

Mei Weiya flexed her wrist, her expression grave:

"He’s about to come out; release the Twelve Star Palaces, and let’s act quickly."

"Alright."

Carl nodded, raising his hand to release the Twelve Star Palaces, with twelve massive stone pillars instantly appearing in the area.

An invisible barrier enveloped the entire sky.

"The Twelve Star Palaces?"

Duke Ferdinand’s voice echoed from the black mist:

"Sodan’s belongings have fallen into your hands after all, my daughter, is this your trump card?"

"A... Second Tier Late Stage helper?"

"Father, you are always so confident." Mei Weiya rose into the air, her eyes staring directly at him:

"That is the root of your failure!"

"Haha..." Duke Ferdinand laughed heartily upon hearing this:

"My dear daughter, do you think having a helper is enough to detain me?"

"Then let’s see." Mei Weiya’s eyes narrowed, and her figure flashed into the black mist, colliding with Duke Ferdinand.

Carl shrugged, just about to join the fight when his vision suddenly blurred.

"Your opponent is me."

The Wind God’s Upper-level Vassal, Min Hou, appeared in the area. He glanced back, shaking his head somewhat helplessly:

"This time the Duke was indeed careless; fortunately, the gods are all-knowing, and some measures were taken; otherwise..."

"I’m afraid I really wouldn’t have made it in time."

"An Upper-level Vassal?" Staring at the opponent, Carl frowned slightly.

He wasn’t afraid, but worried that if the opponent stalled him for too long, Mei Weiya might not hold up.

However, a smile soon appeared on his face.

Another Second Tier Peak aura appeared in the area.

Olanna, wielding a long spear, twirled it into a blurring spear flower, thrusting toward the suddenly appeared Min Hou.

"Carl!"

"Let’s kill him first, then go assist mother."
