A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 775: Prison!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Wizard Setoh, previously I was in the boundless territory where I met Maya of the Golden Light Tribe. At that time, I hadn’t become an Honored Legend, and was merely a Great Wizard!”

Setoh nodded. “Maya from the Golden Light Tribe? I know a little about him. The Golden Light Tribe is a weaker civilization but as they have an existence on par with an Honored Legend like Maya, they could just about survive in the Void Zone. Of course, though you weren’t an Honored Legend, you were already close to one.”

Naturally, Setoh knew about Merlin’s capability. Despite not becoming an Honored Legend, Merlin would have been close to one. However, Setoh did not know that Merlin also had the empire-level warship of the Atlan civilization at that time, so Merlin was unafraid of Maya.

“Maya and I began to fight over some matter, and coincidentally came across a massive purple dimension. Both of us entered the purple dimension, later discovering that this was an inheritance left behind by the Purple Emperor, an incomparably ancient existence from who-knows-how-many million years ago!

“It was in this purple dimension that I’ve learned about the Void Zone’s early secrets. It turns out that the Void Zone had been matchlessly prosperous. There were the Thirty-six Emperors who were the strongest beings in the infinite Void Zone. They were not something an average ultimate existence can compare to. Nonetheless, the Thirty-six Emperors suffered major casualties. Despite their immense power, they had to confront a catastrophe that had engulfed the entire Void Zone – the Vestigial Tribe!

“The Vestigial Tribe was different from other civilizations. They could rely on external forces to possess terrifying powers. They had warships, puppets, and could even borrow external forces to become Lords or even ultimate existences. Plus, the Vestigial Tribe had the power to kill ultimate existences. They did not fear the power of the natural order because their system of strength couldn’t merge with the natural order.

“This catastrophe swept across the Void Zone. After an unknown number of years of war, the Thirty-six Emperors did not even hold much hope for winning, so they each left behind their various inheritances.”

Merlin explained all he knew in detail. The Vestigial Tribe and the Thirty-six Emperors – all these were secret not known to even the three Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization and many other ultimate existences.

After all, these were matters too distant in the past, until even the present ultimate existences would be unable to imagine.

“That’s right. You’re Wizard Merlin, yes? What you said is about the same as the records left behind by Sir Flare Emperor. The Thirty-six Emperors had led the civilizations of the Void Zone to confront the Vestigial Tribe, resulting in endless casualties. It was too merciless. Fortunately, we won in the end but Sir Flare Emperor went missing. We don’t know where he went, and are only left with this prison.”

“Prison? You say this place is a prison?”

Merlin looked puzzled. The entire Flare Region world seemed quite peculiar indeed. The space was so solid that not even a Great Lord could break through, yet a mere world like this could produce so many Honored Legends.

In addition, in this sacred land, there were powerful existences who, like Flarite, were close to a Lord who had five ultimate Maxims, able to try merging with the natural order. Many formidable civilizations would find it difficult to give birth to beings like these.

Furthermore, other than Flarite, Merlin’s Mind Power had detected two others in the sacred land who were formidable existences at the level of a Lord.

A small world like this had gathered so many contenders. It was strange indeed.

“So, this prison is used to lock up whom?”

“Of course it’s to lock up the Vestigial Tribe!”

Flarite spoke with a shrug.

“The Vestigial Tribe? You still have the Vestigial Tribe?”

Merlin stood up in a rush, his face gripped by surprise. When he had heard about the Vestigial Tribe from the Purple Emperor, he was already very shocked. He found it difficult to imagine a civilization that could take over the entire Void Zone.

At the moment, the Spell Caster civilization, the Rock Tribe civilization, even including the God Alliance, could occupy a very small region of the entire Void Zone at most. They had not even reached the end of the Void Zone, much less taken over the entire Void Zone.

Therefore, Merlin found it difficult to conceive how powerful the Vestigial Tribe must have been back then. Still, he had never seen the Vestigial Tribe. Now that he had heard this was a prison to detain the Vestigial Tribe, would he not be dumbstruck?

Flarite shook his head powerlessly. “At first, this was a place Sir Flare Emperor designed to imprison the Vestigial Tribe. However, later on, even Sir Flare Emperor himself was gone. Naturally, it did not detain any Vestigial Tribe. We’re still guessing if the war has ended. That’s right, you came from the outer-region. Based on your manner, you don’t even know about the Vestigial Tribe. Has the war really ended?”

Merlin stared at Flarite in utter shock. Could Flarite have lived for so long, constantly staying in the Flare Region world? It was true that many beings such as gods, would not die as long as their divinity lasted. Theoretically, they could live on forever.

However, in reality, they had not seen anyone who had lived very long. After all, in the Void Zone, there were many unexpected events. During a fight with someone, a moment of carelessness could lead to death.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’ve simply lived for a longer time, that’s all...”

Flarite spoke breezily.

By now, Setoh had vaguely sensed how terrifying Flarite was, whose lifespan was even longer than the birth of many powerful civilizations.

Nonetheless, Setoh was burning with one question ever since Merlin had described the Vestigial Tribe, especially since the Spell Caster civilization was not in a favorable situation, so he panicked.

“Merlin, the Vestigial Tribe that you’ve mentioned earlier, could they be the Atlan civilization?”

Wizard Setoh finally could not help but ask. After all, Merlin’s description of the Vestigial Tribe seemed similar to the Atlan civilization. The Atlan Dimension by itself was already so unique, completely cutting off the natural order. It was not an ordinary dimension and must be hiding some secrets.

Furthermore, there was the ultimate-level divinity the Atlan civilization had gifted to the Lord God of Light, which allowed him to recover so quickly. This made the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards somewhat suspicious but as they did not know the secret of the Vestigial Tribe, they did not consider the matter from other perspectives.

Nevertheless, upon careful consideration, there were too many doubtful points. The Atlan civilization could not possibly emerge suddenly in such a formidable manner.

“The Atlan civilization?”

Merlin frowned. Now that Wizard Setoh had brought this up, he could only reply. “Initially, I have my suspicions as well. The Atlan civilization is too similar to the Vestigial Tribe but they’re too far apart. They don’t even have an ultimate existence. Even the void-level warship is merely a rumor, and it’s still not manufactured. Even so, I now suspect whether the Atlan civilization is connected to the Vestigial Tribe. For instance, they might be some type of descendant. Who can tell?”

It was not just Merlin but Wizard Setoh who had thought of this. If the Atlan civilization was the descendant of the Vestigial Tribe, there would be great trouble.

“What is this Atlan civilization you speak of? They’re the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe or are somehow linked to them?”

Flarite’s expression had turned serious.

“This is merely conjecture on our part. Perhaps you’ve stayed in the Flare Region world for too long, so you don’t know that there aren’t any traces left of the Vestigial Tribe. On the other hand, there’s this strange civilization called the Atlan civilization. Now, they’re waging war against our Spell Caster civilization, and we’re on our way to ask for support from the Giant Tribe...”

Merlin briefly outlined the present situation, and Flarite soon got the gist of it.

“Therefore, we now need your help, master of the sacred land, in leaving this Flare Region world!”

Merlin spoke sincerely. Currently, they must leave the Flare Region world as quickly as possible and return to the Void Zone. Otherwise, there was no telling how the situation would change for the Spell Caster civilization.

“Back then, Sir Flare Emperor had given us orders to imprison the Vestigial Tribe for they are our enemy! It’s too bad that we three sentinels appointed by Sir Flare Emperor don’t have the power to leave the Flare Region world because this is a prison. Therefore, even for us, we can only enter but not exit...”

Flarite spoke helplessly, and his words induced a great change in Merlin and Setoh’s expressions. This meant that they had no way of leaving the Flare Region world!
