Chapter 2788: Chapter 570: Ancient Affairs, Mythical Origin, and the Secret of the Insects!

"Why do the Dark Insects want to attack the astral world?"

"I’m not sure. Anyway, the astral world is the place in this universe that is most prone to attacks. Since the appearance of the Ancient Era, this has been the case. However, no one has been able to conquer the astral world. After all, it is formed by the fusion of two powerful Primordial Spirits, the Star Cluster Brain and the Star Worm.

However, when I was captured in the Abyss, I discovered the Magic Tools made from insect remnants on one of the demons. I think, perhaps the Dark Insects did not initially attack the astral world; they first launched their attack on the Abyss but quickly retreated and turned to assault the astral world instead."

This made Levi’s heart tighten.

According to the insects’ nature, shouldn’t they devour whatever they encounter? Why did they abandon the Abyss after initial contact? Could it be that the insects and the Abyss made some agreement? Indeed, it’s very possible for these two civilizations, known only for destruction and devouring.

An ominous speculation suddenly came to him.

If the insects indeed originated from the Primordial Era as Primordial Spirits, could they have some connection to the Abyss Worm? Then, after conflict, they might recognize kinship and forge an alliance, conspiring together in the Land of Darkness!

This matter is getting increasingly complex.

The waters in the Land of Darkness are too deep.

In just one universe, there are already so many troublesome affairs. Levi felt quite fortunate that it’s difficult for universes to interact, otherwise that would be true despair.

Moreover, the time of the insects’ emergence closely coincides with the time when plane convergence began. Through the Supreme Council, Levi learned that plane convergence was another scheme by Sauron. Could the appearance of the insects also be Sauron’s doing?

If so, this guy Sauron is truly a madman!

Wait a second, Levi suddenly thought of something, his expression changed slightly.

Recalling the history of the emergence of the four giant worlds before. Perhaps Sauron intends to recklessly overturn the situation, using the power of the insects to destabilize the existing four poles, causing an unstable Fifth Pole to emerge, then allowing the Land of Darkness to "bloom thrice" and continue supporting a force capable of counteracting the insects to form a balance.

If that’s the case, currently, within the Multidimensional Plane, Nora definitely has the most potential... Once the Shadow World might have had a chance, but it was shattered by the giants before Sauron’s arrival, cutting off its path to ascension. Now, whether it be potential for growth or foundation, Nora has surpassed them.

Unlike the previous four, Nora wasn’t nurtured by the Primordial Spirits; it evolved from an ordinary world within the Multidimensional Plane, created by the Land of Darkness itself, one of its cells.

It might be humble, but the appearance of wizards allowed it to swiftly stand out amongst all the Multidimensional Planes. Not counting the ancient times shrouded in ignorance, its true development history has only been 300,000 years!

This is a mere blink of an eye for those who’ve experienced the profound ancient, Underworld, and Ancient epochs.

The smooth progress of Pan-Plane convergence, Nora’s victory with weakness over strength, successively triumphing over the Abyss three times, Nora’s ongoing good fortune, talent emergence, and civilization’s technological explosion—these results not only stem from the entire wizard civilization and the subjective efforts of entities like Sauron and Edmund but perhaps also from the unseen convenience provided by the Land of Darkness!

Otherwise, would the domineering fusion of thousands of planes truly be ignored by the Land of Darkness? Moreover, would the Overworld giants, as one of the Land of Darkness’s right-hand supports, really assist Nora simply on Sauron’s account?

These occurrences are both an inevitable trajectory of historical development and Sauron’s covert instigation, along with the Land of Darkness’s adaptation to the times. Countless complex factors have achieved the current state of Nora!

The rise of Nora is an incredibly intricate and complex chain of large-scale events! Ultimately, it’s the competition among those Supreme Existence and the civilizations they represent. And the Land of Darkness is the chessboard!

The man half-smiled and said:

"Doesn’t everything seem clear now when you think about it? Congratulations, you are gradually accessing some of the truths of this world. Although I have high hopes for you, objectively speaking, in the coming years, you might fall into a vicious cycle of wanting to change the world while deeply feeling powerless.

As the river of time developed to this point, most of the interests and powers have been divided among the giants. Every bit of progress we make, every breakthrough, is as if snatching food from a tiger’s jaws, and at any moment, we might not see the sunrise tomorrow. This is the sense of powerlessness for ordinary life.

No matter how powerful you become, even if you laboriously survive the Ninety-nine Eighty-one Tribulations mentioned in Sauron’s words and ascend to Level 11, in the face of those stable entities who have held interests from time immemorial and endured thousands of hardships yet remain steadfast, you will still seem small. This is everything I once saw. We cannot change the grand scheme; we can only choose to observe the sky from a well, living in our small world. That is sufficient."

His words indeed deeply affected Levi.

The path to Shu is more difficult than ascending to the blue sky!

No matter whether the speculations about the Heavenly Will are correct or not. Levi knows that this Land of Darkness is doomed to be cruel.

Beauty is but a fantasy, a Mirage.

Yet, he isn’t defeated; he’s not particularly smart, can’t lay plans like Sauron, and certainly isn’t born as one of the Primordial Spirit overlords. All he can do is continue to cultivate down the path he already has!
