A Wizard's Secret

“You’re insane.”

Merlin said coldly. He did not think that Marta and the others would be able to succeed. If it was so easy to control the Void Zone, then it would have been controlled by countless people already.

“How would we know if we don’t try? Besides, the Vestigial Tribe was destroyed. What’s the point even if we never die?”

Marta’s tone revealed a hint of determination. They were the only three members left of the Vestigial Tribe, and lived in remorse every day. Days like that were endless. At this time, an endless life was just endless torture to them.

After a long silence, Merlin raised his head and asked, “What are you going to do?”

“Do you see these threads in the power of the natural order? The end of the threads must be the center of the origin of the natural order. If we want to control the origin of the natural order, we just have to find it.”

Marta said in a low voice. It seemed that they had already prepared.

“I’ll go with you!”

Although he thought they could not succeed, how would Merlin be willing to miss such an opportunity? It was only natural that he would go and see for himself.

“Alright, continue searching.”

Marta and the others released all their power, and a large vacuum immediately appeared beside them. This was to prevent erosion of the power of the natural order. Of course, since they were surrounded by the power of the natural order, their speed was abysmally slow.

Day after day, year after year, Marta and the others may not care about time at all but Merlin was very sensitive to it. It had only been a few thousand years since he came to this world.

Therefore, rushing a hundred years was quite long for him.

One hundred years. They had spent one hundred years just slowly walking in the origin of the natural order. However, they did not seem to have reached the center of the origin of the natural order.

However, they felt that the surrounding threads were becoming denser, and the denser the threads were, the closer they were to the center.

Merlin did not dare to expand his Illusory World easily this time. Instead, it was tightly restrained, and only protected Merlin from harm. As for the power of the natural order in the Illusory World, he did not dare to reveal even a trace of it.

In the origin of the natural order, if Merlin had revealed the new power of the natural order in the Illusory World, he did not know what changes would happen. Therefore, he remained cautious in the origin of the natural order.

Another two hundred years had passed. Marta and the others seemed to have used up more than half of their energy but they had not reached the center yet.

“Are we going to run out of energy and just drift in this endless origin of the natural order?”

Marta and the others were unreconciled but they did not have any other ideas. In the origin of the natural order, they were severely suppressed. Even if they went all out, it would only be equivalent to a little spray in the origin of the natural order. It had no effect at all.

Therefore, the only thing they could do now was to keep moving forward.

During these hundreds of years, although Merlin was restraining the Illusory World, the inside of the Illusory World was expanding continuously at a fairly fast speed.

Although the Illusory Tribe was of no active help to Merlin, they could quickly adapt to a new environment and become a powerful civilization again. This was caused by the details of their civilization. A civilization like that could quickly become strong even if they had temporarily fallen into a low ebb.

Of course, Merlin understood “order” from the origin of the natural order. Therefore, in the Illusory World, he also paid great attention to order and began to let the power of the natural order slowly disperse some power to maintain the order of the entire Illusory World.

With the order, the expansion of the Illusory World would become more rapid.

Although he still had not found a way to materialize illusion into reality, he could feel that the power of the Illusory World was increasing bit by bit. With the expansion of the Illusory World, and with balance and order, it would also promote the power of the natural order in the Illusory World.

Merlin felt that the natural order in the Illusory World, which had been simple in the beginning, was gradually strengthening under an imperceptible influence. The stronger the Latitude Cosmos was, the stronger its natural order would be.

Merlin was different from Marta and the others as he did not have to worry about energy exhaustion. His Illusory World had its own system and had endless power. Even if he wandered in the origin of the natural order for hundreds of millions of years, it would be fine.

However, once Marta and the others’ energy was exhausted, they would lose their strength and be trapped in the origin of the natural order forever. Therefore, as time passed and their energy dwindled, Marta and the other Golden Ray Warriors also started to appear anxious.

They did not expect the world of the origin of the natural order to be so vast. They had been walking for hundreds of years but they still had not reached the center of the origin of the natural order.

“Maybe in a few more hundred years, our energy will be exhausted...”

Marta was also slightly helpless. They did not seem to notice that just in front of them, the threads suddenly increased in number, and the originally calm power of the natural order began to ripple like water. The ripples spread outward in circles.

Merlin noticed this phenomenon and became alert. He felt that there must be something hidden in front of them.

“Look, a vortex!”

Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared in the vast origin of the natural order. The vortex was the center of the origin of the natural order. Numerous threads converged into the vortex from all directions and were sucked into the vortex directly before appearing in another place.

The cycle repeated and never seemed to stop.

“We found it. We found it! This is the center of the origin of the natural order, and the source of all the power in the Void Zone!”

Marta, Larkin, and Myron were all extremely excited. Their voices were even shaking. They had searched for hundreds of years and now, they had finally found it.

Merlin was also overwhelmed with shock. This vortex seemed to have endless energy. His Mind Power extended to probe but was sucked in instead, and did not have any use. He could not find out what was inside at all.

This strange vortex was the source of the power of the Void Zone. It was full of mystery!

“Quick, go closer!”

Marta and the others saw the vortex, and quickly approached it while Merlin stood in the distance and watched coldly. He carefully observed the vortex and saw that there seemed to be some changes when it was devouring the strands.

For example, there were many black spots in the origin of the natural order, and these black spots were caused by creatures or forces that destroyed the order. There must be many living creatures like the black cat Didimoss who had reversed the natural order. The appearance of those creatures was what destroyed the order, and formed the black spots.

Therefore, when these black spots were engulfed by the vortex, they disappeared and were reintegrated into the origin of the natural order. This indicated that the being or force that had destroyed the order had disappeared.

Merlin immediately thought of the black cat Didimoss’ death. Was the cause of death also related to this vortex?

“Could it be that after the black spots are devoured by the vortex, it’s the way of the origin of the natural order to resolve these black spots? Once the black spots enter the vortex, the projection of the origin of the natural order will appear in the Void Zone, and cause a dead end and kill the being who had reversed the natural order.”

Merlin was shocked. He felt that his guess was very close to the truth. This vortex was a self-evolved area of the origin of the natural order. This vortex was the true center of the origin of the natural order, and the real center of the Void Zone. That was because it contained the power of the entire Void Zone!

If, after passing through the vortex, the black spots became larger, it was because the being who had reversed the natural order had overcome the dead end. In that case, it would have become an existence comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors, and would be directly absorbed by the origin of the natural order into becoming avatars, and gain a portion of power to mobilize the origin of the natural order.

However, such examples were extremely rare and almost impossible. Most of the beings who had reversed the natural order had been killed.

Merlin glanced at the black area representing him. It was still quite far from the vortex. He knew that the black area representing him was not as large as it was now. It must have already entered the vortex. However, at that time, Merlin had encountered the attack of the origin of the natural order, and managed to overcome it. Therefore, the black area rapidly expanded and seemed to have formed a threat to the Void Zone.

“The vortex represents the strongest power in the Void Zone. Aren’t Marta and the others in danger?”

Merlin saw that Marta, Larkin, and Myron were already gradually approaching the vortex. They wanted to control the vortex, which was quite outrageous.

However, Merlin did not dissuade them. Even if he did, Marta and the others would not listen at all. To them, it was the same whether they were in danger or not. They did not feel any “freedom” at all. Instead, they were immersed in their inner self-accusation. For them, the demise of the Vestigial Tribe was their greatest pain.

Therefore, they had to finish what the Vestigial Tribe had failed to at any cost. Even if the chances were slim, they still had to try.

Perhaps, to them, death was also a relief!

Soon, Marta and the others were close to the vortex. The huge vortex seemed to engulf everyone but the three of them were Golden Ray Warriors. They were powerful and fearless.

The three figures were tall but before this vortex, they still looked insignificant.

“We’ve finally entered the origin of the natural order and have the chance to finish what our Vestigial Tribe couldn’t.”

“Even if we fail, there won’t be any regret. Our Vestigial Tribe will always try and will never be at the mercy of the Void Zone!”

“That’s right, we have to try anyway!”

Marta took the first step and charged forward. His body emitted a golden radiance as he laughed, “Haha, let me try first. Take control of the Void Zone, just like how the Void Zone took control of our destiny!”

The Vestigial Tribe was born in the Void Zone for balance. From the beginning, the Vestigial Tribe had been “manipulated” by the Void Zone. Even if they had been splendid, it was just a flash in the pan.

This was the tragedy of the Vestigial Tribe!

“Whoosh.”

While laughing, Marta’s figure flew into the huge vortex.
