At the same time, the Thousand Wishes Inheritance at Ruby Mountain reached another critical point.

Although the disturbances in the lower Distant Realm have been going on for several hours, Mercury Wooden Horse had no idea, because she has been at Ruby Mountain for 30 hours now.

During these 30 hours, she never once returned to reality, continuously draining believers' souls to replenish soul energy, partly out of fear of missing out, but mostly because... the competition at Ruby Mountain is so fierce that nearly every hour someone can climb to the summit!

Ever since she almost snatched the Wish Core last time, the Divine Lords seemed to drop their façades, and started openly clashing with divine miracles.

First, some mage managed to resist the tremendous gravity of Ruby Mountain, attempting to fly directly to snatch the Wish Core, but was struck in the head by a meteor, which then rolled down the mountain, driving all legends back to the mountain's base; then a few mages suddenly turned into skeletons, completely ignoring the corrosion of the Bloodfly Wish Light, trying to rush to the summit from all directions but were quickly dragged back by hundreds of strands of spider silk.

During this time, Mercury Wooden Horse has witnessed nine kinds of wonders, rendering her numb.

Even though Ruby Mountain is the place closest to the Divine Domain, even though legends are the closest mages to the Divine Realm, making divine miracles appear at Ruby Mountain is not easy. Mercury Wooden Horse estimates that it's likely because the Divine Lords have used the arrangements they buried over thousands of years at Ruby Mountain to amass this wave of divine miracle offensives.

Now, she's once again climbed to within 50 meters of the summit's critical line. Beyond this is the high-risk zone of the Bloodfly Wish Light that has bent countless legends to its will.

However, for Mercury Wooden Horse, having already crossed the Bloodfly Wish Light once, this new challenge is taken with ease.

But at this moment, Mercury Wooden Horse raised her head, staring blankly at the Wish Core on the summit.

And the man about to obtain it.

He was a mage with exceptionally strange appearance, and to put it frankly, he looked more like a Void Realm creature, wrapped in purple strange fire, with a mouth full of fangs like a lion tiger, his arms extending into demonic sword-like shells, with horns like a helmet growing from his head.

The Purple Fire Mage was only less than five steps away from the Wish Core, clearly capable of rushing there within a second, yet he climbed across the Bloodfly Wish Light very steadily, seemingly not in a hurry at all.

However, he was entangled with hundreds of strands of spider silk, speckled with light, even a large cluster of bloodflies—these weren't the bloodflies diluted by the Wish Light, but genuine wonders!

Though encircled and obstructed by countless wonders, the Purple Fire Mage remained unaffected, as a faint luminescence emanated from the Wish Core, lightly yet firmly enveloping him, protecting him from any external interference!

Even wonders couldn't affect him!

Seeing this, Mercury Wooden Horse realized that there was a backdoor to the Thousand Wishes Inheritance. The Purple Fire Mage likely carried a token in his soul recognized by the Thousand Wishes Inheritance, which is why the Wish Core actively shielded him.

The Thousand Wishes Inheritance might be divided into the inner and outer inheritance between reality and the Void Realm. Only when someone inherits the outer reality and becomes a Legendary Mage can they undergo the inner inheritance test at Ruby Mountain and inherit the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes. Now not only has the inner inheritance been pulled, but the outer inheritance might have been seized by the Divine Lords, which is why such a Purple Fire Mage appeared.

"No chance now..."

"Earth Abyss absolutely did it on purpose; they've long found the token of the Thousand Wishes Mirage Master, deliberately waiting until the various Divine Lords exhaust their hidden arrangements at Ruby Mountain, leisurely sending people to pick up the victory prize."

"Earth Abyss barely used much accumulation this time; if a similar Void Realm event is triggered next time, they'll be able to secure another victory with their accumulation advantage... Earth Abyss plans to win twice!"

At this moment, there were quite a few Legendary Mages who reached the 50-meter critical line, watching the approaching victory of the Purple Fire Mage and sighing, expressing their opinions.

Mercury Wooden Horse watched, lost in thought, with a bitter expression, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.

In the end, there will always only be those six great beings standing high in this world, while everyone else is just supporting characters to enhance Their gaming experience.

This era's Legendary Mages are fortunate, for they can witness wonders exceeding the Void Realm. This era's Legendary Mages are unfortunate, for even the mere exposed parts of the Divine Lords' iceberg are something they cannot contend with.

Just as everyone was using their gaze to greet the end of the Thousand Wishes Inheritance, a dazzlingly bright light illuminated the entire Ruby Mountain from the rear.

Mercury Wooden Horse turned around and saw a sun.

A sun was slowly rising beside Ruby Mountain.

Then, a strange feeling of joy surged into Mercury Wooden Horse's mind, making it almost uncontrollable for her to raise her right hand, press her middle finger onto her thumb's finger pad, and flick it towards the sun.

Not only her, but all the Legendary Mages who saw the sun at that moment made the same gesture, flicking their fingers towards the sun from afar.

Joy.

As if they could really flick the sun, the sun unbelievably grew smaller and flew towards Ruby Mountain, eventually transforming into a grain-like pearl, shooting towards the summit!

But its target was not the Purple Fire Mage, but—

The Wish Core!

Though it seemed like a long duration, from the sun's appearance to it shooting at the Wish Core took less than a second. The Purple Fire Mage didn't have time to rush over, only watching as the particle sun pierced through the Wish Core, and then—

Boom!

With the Wish Core shattered, a torrent of Wish Light surged forth, sweeping all Legendary Mages down to the mountain's base, even the Purple Fire Mage wasn't exempt! Moreover, the bloodflies seemed to lose their restraint, rapidly spreading into all the Wish Light, causing quite a loss for many legends despite the dilution in concentration!

"A thousand wishes are like illusions, ten thousand thoughts all vanish."

The Mercury Wooden Horse struggled to maintain its form amidst the torrent of Wish Light, lifting its head to see a white figure dispersing atop a mountain. Below the white figure was a smaller Wish Heart.

It was only then that the Mercury Wooden Horse realized its Magic Power was nearly exhausted. Clearly, the recent Solar Wonder had used up the Magic Power of these Legendary Mages to activate, and they themselves were the catalysts of the Wonder!

Even the Legendary Mages, who had witnessed countless wonders today, could hardly suppress the fear in their hearts—controlling their minds, draining their Magic Power, and driving a wonder they completely didn't understand!

Compared to irresistible violence, this unavoidable control was even more disheartening and depressing. Whenever they felt they understood the Divine Lord a little, the Divine Lord would always make them realize how ignorant they were.

If someone were to simultaneously observe the Distant Realm and Ruby Mountain, they would surely find it quite intriguing: the Holy Sanctuary Mages, who only had a fragmented understanding of the Divine Lord, rebelling and beating the mage teams sent by the Divine Lord; the Legendary Mages, instead, felt only deep awe and reverence for their understanding of the Divine Lord.

Suddenly, a cheerful voice echoed in everyone's mind:

"The last will of the Thousand Wishes Illusion Master has been obliterated; now the person who obtains the Wish Heart will not be affected by the Thousand Wishes Illusion Master. Of course, the token left by the Thousand Wishes Illusion Master also naturally becomes invalid."

"With the control of the Thousand Wishes Will gone, the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes and Ruby Mountain partially overlap; now none of you can use Magic Power, but likewise, the wonders can't take effect."

"Charge forward boldly, Paradise Mages, I believe you are the best!"

After listening to this message, the Mercury Wooden Horse realized that the Wish Heart actually had a trap—the influence of the Thousand Wishes Will! Although the Thousand Wishes Will may not intend to harm, if it wanted to, how could a mere Legendary Mage resist the usurpation and modification by the will of the Divine Lord?

Now with the Wish Heart shattered, the Thousand Wishes Will obliterated, and the overlap between the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes and Ruby Mountain, everyone's progress resets to zero.

However, this time, there will be no divine interference, and everyone stands on the same starting line!

Yet, for some reason, this message clearly intended for the Paradise Mages was received by all the mages. Could it be because they provided the Magic Power for the Solar Wonder?

Only the Paradise Mages knew what was happening: their Divine Lord was always this careless with details... most likely, when writing the message, the channel set to [everyone] was not switched back to [Paradise].

Pa!

The Mercury Wooden Horse stretched out its hand and began climbing towards the top of Ruby Mountain once more!

Tears still glistened in her eyes, but her pupils burned with a fierce determination, her face full of calm decisiveness, and the aura of going All-or-Nothing erupted from her whole being.

She knew that her painstaking effort in building the Four Pillars God Sect might just be for this one opportunity.

However, while climbing, the Mercury Wooden Horse suddenly remembered something—

The Thousand Wishes Inheritance carried the will of the Thousand Wishes Illusion Master, but... what about the other inheritances?

...

...

The core of the Ghost Inheritance lies here!

Scarlet lightning drew a harsh blood arc in the air; the black sphere, upon seeing this, immediately turned to flee, but no matter how fast it fled, could it evade a bolt of lightning?

Tss!

The ghostly dream black sphere, pierced by scarlet lightning, made the sound of cracking eggshells, revealing the secrets of the inheritance hidden within.

Baiyu had expected to see a mage receiving the inheritance, to see the treasure trove of Technique Spirit, or even to see a Divine Being... but what lay inside the black sphere was beyond his expectations.

It was a vast library, where a young elf dressed in a black-silver coat sat reading on a redwood armchair. He had a handsome appearance, a lazy expression, and simply sitting there he defined elegance.

When the black sphere was torn open, he closed the book and looked up at the Holy Sanctuary Mages outside.

"Source Angel, that remnant."

He spoke with resentment and anger, gritting his teeth, "I barely predicted the end's arrival, intending to revive after it, only to be dragged out prematurely by that remnant... hu, don't get angry, don't get angry, it exhausts the will too much."

When he stood up, every book in the library flew open by itself, each emitting a tormented soul. As he stepped out of the black sphere, behind him stood tens of thousands of ghostly spirits, and their boiling wails filled the entire Dream Heaven.

"Good evening, friends," he said, "Or not, as you wish."

"I am the will of the Ghost Prophet."

"And you are now souls."

"Therefore," the ghostly will clapped lightly, "I need you to assist me in my resurrection."
