The Tower of Heaven.
The tower was just like its name, a giant tower connecting heaven and earth. The mythical alchemy tower was the space tower and the hub of Fhartasil’s Fairyland; its master was the Arcane Kingdom’s Emperor, Wendy.
The insides of the tower didn’t even have any stairways. The space within interspersed and tangled in a complex manner. Layer after layer overlapped upwards, like an infinite cycle that bolted up to the clouds and sky, and at last, landed inside the half-bitwall.
Numerous cities and villages were built around the tower. It was the center of Fhartasil’s Fairyland, since one could see the place from anywhere by simply looking up.
Clouds surrounded the middle of the huge tower, which was like a giant pillar supporting the world. Anyone who saw it would be dazzled.
That day, the Arcane Kingdom was holding a grand military parade. The entire army of the Fhartasil’s Fairyland surrounded the Tower of Heaven; tens of millions of Arcane Corps were divided and lined up in different units.
From the steps of the Tower of Heaven, on the first layer of the platform, the entire sky was filled with the Arcane Corps, the dense population making everyone feel the horror and strength of the Arcane Kingdom. From the Military Parade, troops of steam-powered armored military vehicles, Magic Crystal Artillery Units, Magic Crystal Tank Troops, lights of the arcane magic troop completely composed by an arcanist, the Troll Armored Legion, and the Fairy Medical Corps could be seen.
In the sky, there were numerous sky fortresses and mobile strongholds on top of which arcanists stood, looking up at the top of the tower above the clouds. The tower was the symbol of the Arcane Kingdom, the representative of its power.
Thousands of Battle Airships towed long gas trails through the sky. The white tracks made from those clouds covered the entire sky, beautiful and dazzling.
Bam!
Bam! Bam!
Just then, the ground shook like an earthquake. The crowd looked up and saw a scene in the distance that was enough to terrify anyone. A huge figure appeared at the end of the sky, its body shooting up thousands of yards directly into the clouds. It was a gigantic giant that no one could have expected, its body made from the hardest red jade. There were several ravines on its body and magma was flowing through them, like a volcano that was blooming hot steam.
“The Titan!” Immediately, someone blurted out as he recognized the identity of the giant.
“He’s the Grand Duke of the Titan, Colin!” People in various cities cheered, since many of them were seeing such a mythical being for the first time. He was a creature that only existed in the legends of mythical creatures, a powerful existence that could be compared to gods. And the soldiers around the Tower of Heaven made zero movements, as if they had long known about the scenario. They were neatly divided in their squad and opened up a wide road for the Titan to cross.
In one step, he crossed the vast earth; across the city, the village, the plains, across the forest, and the mountains. Everything at his feet seemed so small, so much so that the whole world could be measured under his feet and steps.
On his shoulder, he was carrying a huge silver metal throne. He stepped across the plains and placed the throne on the first floor of the Tower of Heaven, then respectfully kneeled on the ground.
Several brilliant lights were flashing on the long and gigantic steps that stretched under the Tower of Heaven. Numerous powerful great arcanists and high-ranking officials of the Arcane Kingdom had harnessed their respective ancient trees and appeared under the steps; the farmer tree creatures, the Ancient Trees of Life, the Guardian Ancient Trees, the Ancient Tree of Fairies, and so on, emerged at the same time.
Then eight Mythical Arcanists and a Mythical Summoner appeared at the same time, the mythical lights and bodies lined up like giants just like Titan Colin. At that moment, the most powerful forces of the entire Arcane Kingdom had all appeared in the venue; it was a rare and grand gathering.
A bright and dazzling star fell from the top of the Tower of Heaven, forming a beautiful arc crossed the sky. It transformed into seven colors, exploded into several colored ribbons, and shrouded the entire Tower of Heaven.
At last, the colored ribbons converged, forming an illusory and hazy light and shadow of a goddess. She was wearing a colorful flowing robe and a dazzling crown. The center of the crown was inlaid with the legendary Heart of the Arcane.
She sat on the throne, her arms hanging down naturally, while one of her slender arms was placed on the armrest of the throne, another hand supporting her face. With her composed and serious gaze, she scanned her kingdom. The huge mythical body and the Tower of Heaven were a neat pair. The whole Arcane Magic Network was connected to her, since she was the core of the Arcane Magic, the source of all the arcanists’ power.
Just then, she was like a god who was looking down on the world. The whole world moved with her breath, and her mood was the weather of Fhartasil’s Fairyland—a shift in her thoughts could adjust all the rules of the Fhartasil’s Fairyland.
She was in control of the entire Fhartasil’s Fairyland, above the clouds and within the bitwall. She was overlooking the entire world as the Queen of the Arcane Kingdom, Wendy.
As soon as she appeared, she saw everyone moving like a wave under the tower, and she was like a drop of water—when it dripped into a pond, it could cause a magnificent wave above the earth.
Numerous Mythical Arcanists and a Great Arcanist, plus more than tens of thousands of Arcane Corps all knelt down on the ground along with tens of millions of people kneeling down, bent under her feet. All the life forms on Earth were included, and the world was under her control.
“Meet Her Majesty, the Emperor of the Arcane Kingdom!” Thousands of elves arcanists knelt down.
“Meet Her Majesty, the Emperor of the Arcane Kingdom!” Numerous trolls in armor respectfully knelt on the ground.
“Meet Her Majesty, the Emperor…!” A large number of fairies revealed intense yearning and enthusiasm in the midst of the loud cheers.
The cries of millions of people echoed throughout the world, their cheers merging into a single voice; it was as if their loud roar had dispersed the clouds in the sky.
Everyone looked at their emperor with great admiration. All of them had grown up listening to the story of Wendy, the Queen of the Arcane Kingdom, who had existed before the Arcane Kingdom when the whole world was in a desolate state.
It seemed to date back to their existence in the origin of the Arcane Kingdom. As the founding emperor, the pioneer of the arcanists, in their eyes, she was the god of the Arcane Kingdom and their Creator. As the God who had created their world, she was their God. The whole Arcane Kingdom was her kingdom, and everyone was her faithful believer.
Wendy sat on the giant throne. It was like a key control station that was imprinted into the Tower of Heaven. It had taken her thousands of years, but she had finally succeeded in fully receiving the legacy of Lu Zhyu to merge the huge mythical alchemy tower into the system of her own strength.
At the same time, she could use the power of the Tower of Heaven and merge all Arcane Fairylands from different fairies, then transform the entire World of Titan as her own kingdom so as to ascend to a Level Eight Mythical Arcanist.
The light of the arcane magic transformed into several complex routes and scattered from the throne, climbing along the Tower of Heaven. The golden brilliance constantly scattered, bolting upwards and merging with the tower. The radiance of the Space Magic from the Tower of Heaven scattered and overlapped; the space from its surroundings became fragmented as it overlapped.
The radiance shone down, while the Tower of Heaven—which was seemingly separated from the whole world or connected to the world but untouchable—broke out from the void little by a little and appeared above the earth.
Wendy stretched out her hand under the colorful flowing robe, and the grand body of the Mythical Shadow said, “Well, let’s get started!”
