“That’s it!” Lu Zhiyu said.
“Does that Sumerian Kingdom have anything to do with it?” Kelly asked.
“The Church of the True God? It’s interesting. It does not use even the slightest propaganda in order to seek attention. Instead, it hides in the depths.” Lu Zhiyu said and smiled. “Let them develop on their own. After all, they are just an ordinary devil species. At present, it seems that their king is very clever has no intention of confronting the wizards.”
He then added, “Indeed, if we interfere, the damage that we would cause would be even greater. Wars might even break out. After all, those coming from the outside will naturally be oppressed by the bitwalls.”
Above the clouds in the Kingdom of Light, three gods were sitting on their thrones. They were Lu Zhiyu, Kelly, and Verthandi.
They were discussing how it was a good thing for the common people that the war among the countries had ended and the situation had stabilized. However, the huge number of casualties that the war had brought about was shocking. The central province suddenly seemed empty compared to the hustle and bustle of the old days.
The conversation of the three gods ended, and two of them, together with their thrones, disappeared. When Lu Zhiyu and Verthandi returned to the floating castle, Verthandi sat down on Lu Zhiyu’s lap and hugged his neck.
She seemed frustrated, so she asked, “Did I make a mistake? I did everything according to the book, but I’m afraid that so many people died because I was impulsive!”
Lu Zhiyu put down a book that he had been reading and held Verthandi in his arms, gently caressing her soft hair. It seemed that Verthandi, who had just become a god, wanted to do something to show Lu Zhiyu her capability, yet she had become panicked and confused.
“As a god, your every move will influence the development of the whole world, especially when you change rules, as that will have irreversible effects. It can even lead to the destruction of a large number of countries and the death of countless people!” he instructed her. “So every decision you make must be carefully considered. Let this be a lesson for you. You’re responsible for maintaining the stability of the whole world.”
Lu Zhiyu patted Verthandi on her back. “Being a god is not a matter for a moment, it is endless. For gods, time is just like the spring breeze that brushes your cheeks, leaving no trace, so you don’t have to be so anxious! You have time!”
He then added, “Also, Eva and Delmedi miss you. Delmedi has been grumbling about you lately. You should go and see her!”
Lu Zhiyu then stood up and said, “Now, I have to go to the Yala Elf Continent!”

Corolla Tower was originally a college in a remote valley of the Forest of Life, but it had gradually become another political center of the Elf Kingdom, especially after Wendy and Wolfe became members of the Council of Elders. During that time, wizards gradually assimilated into the elves community, and a special Elf Wizard civilization gradually arose on the mainland of Yala.
Before that time, wizards had always been marginalized and isolated from the human world, so all of the generations of wizards had tried their best to integrate into other communities. However, this was only finally achieved with the help of Wendy and Wolfe, who were previously not regarded as being gifted at all.
In fact, it turns out that the elves were naturally suitable for the cultivation of the wizard civilization. Hence, a large number of wizards and a variety of scholars, artists, and writers emerged within Corolla Tower.
Moreover, many elf Blood Wizards, thanks to their own constant research, grew into a different group from human wizards, known as the Druids. Elf Dream Wizards also developed a new branch. Unlike most human Dream Wizards, who mastered projection witchcraft and illusions, the Elf Dream Wizards paid more attention to witchcraft boundaries.
Also, wizards of the same origins divided into different branches over the centuries. This was something that Lu Zhiyu had never imagined.
Lu Zhiyu remembered that when he was just starting to build the wizard tower, he only taught the first generation of wizards Body Modification Technique. Since then, from this simple Body Modification Technique, a series of wizard types, such as Blood Wizards, Dream Wizards, alchemists, Ghost Wizards, Druids, Boundary Wizards and so on had appeared. This success far surpassed Lu Zhiyu’s expectations, and Lu Zhiyu benefited greatly from the evolution of the wizards from generation to generation.
In the Forest of Life, elves had also built cities. But, a city of the elves was very different from a human city.
Every house was surrounded by a large number of trees, and gardens and fountains were everywhere. This was very unlike human cities, where the greenery was often replaced by industrial gray cement and metals.
In fact, green had become the main color of the city. In the center of the city, there was a huge old tree.
This was an Ancient War Tree, a supernatural plant that had been created by wizards via the method of cross-breeding it with the magical beasts to give the tree the characteristics of the Tree of Life. With the Ancient War Tree, level three Boundary Wizards could create a witchcraft circle to regulate the weather and temperature inside the city. and They could even protect the city!
Every Ancient War Tree had a strong fighting force. At this time, the Boundary Wizards had also become the most powerful among the Elf Wizards.
The cultivation of each ancient war tree required a lot of Philosopher’s Stones and various witchcraft materials. Boundary Wizards also consumed Philosopher’s Stones to a large degree.
For this reason, each of the Boundary Wizards would need an immeasurable accumulation of resources. However, at present, there were not many Boundary Wizards.
Lu Zhiyu entered the Forest of Life. This was only the second time that Lu Zhiyu had been here, and he could see that many great changes had taken place in the city of Sylve.
Along the way, Lu Zhiyu saw Ancient War Trees encircling the whole city. The trees connected together to form a cocoon that could not be seen by the naked eye, protecting the whole city.
This cocoon could detect any extraordinary power changes that occurred anywhere within it, as well as regulate temperature and climate. All year, the city was like spring and the temperature was pleasant, which made the people comfortable and idle.
There were also many magnificent buildings and white towers in the city, as well as rows of exquisite dome huts, interconnected forest paths, and bridges. Lu Zhiyu felt like he visiting a future city park!
At the center of these Ancient War Trees was a dead Tree of Life. This huge tree had been hollowed out and renovated by witchcraft, making it the political center of the elves and the hall of the council.
This Tree of Life had many small windows within it. On the foot of the huge tree was the crystal clear Lake of Life. Along its trunk, red, green, and brown vines and small flowers brought vigor and vitality to the tree.
Presently, Lu Zhiyu was inside the Tree of Life, looking out at the whole city of Sylve. Wendy, who stood beside him, was saying something to him.
Lu Zhiyu had apparently been surprised by her words. “To build an elf empire? Imitate the state system of human beings?” he asked incredulously.
