Chapter 613: Chapter 572: End of the Great War (Part 2)

"But it’s not the real Scythe of Death. It’s just a replica of the Divine Artifact, and it’s mostly destroyed."

Li Wei gave the Legendary Witch Lich a longer look.

It seemed his experiences over the past millennium had been quite remarkable.

It wasn’t like the Elemental Tower believed, that he had just been hiding in the Ancient Battlefield, barely scraping by.

Otherwise, he never would have been able to obtain a damaged Divine Artifact.

He suddenly thought of something. There were rumors that the depths of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins connected to the Netherworld.

The deathly aura of the Netherworld was constantly seeping into the Prime Material World from the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, which was why the number of Undead here kept increasing.

Even without new corpses, new Undead would be born ceaselessly.

’Could this be true?’

Li Wei voiced his question, "Is there really a spatial rift in the depths of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins that connects to the Netherworld?"

The Legendary Witch Lich nodded. "There is, but it’s extremely dangerous."

"That place is filled with a deathly aura and the Power of Death. Normal living beings can’t get near it at all. For the living, it’s a land of absolute death. Only the Undead can pass through the spatial rift to the Netherworld."

Li Wei nodded, committing this information to memory.

’The Legendary Witch Lich must have gone to the Netherworld through here.’

The two of them went to the epicenter of the explosion together to clean up the battlefield.

Unfortunately, the devastating explosion had destroyed everything.

Not even the Demigod Artifact in the Jade Prince’s hands had survived.

The Legendary Witch Lich said with some regret, "The Jade Prince also had a Demigod Level Spatial Ring. If it had survived, it would have been priceless. There must have been a lot of good stuff inside."

Li Wei smiled and said, "It’s fine. I’ve already emptied the Jade Prince’s treasury."

"I even got the Demigod Artifact that His Majesty the Emperor gave him."

The Legendary Witch Lich looked astonished.

"How did you do that? Did you attack the Jade Territory?"

Li Wei told him about how he had used an Illusory Body to hide inside a gift, sneaking into the treasury to plunder all its treasures.

The Legendary Witch Lich was filled with deep emotion.

"To think that the Illusion Technique, something I created on a whim, could be used so well by you."

The Magic Fluctuation of a Wind Element came from the distant sky.

Li Wei turned to look, knowing that the Wind Chaser was approaching.

The battle was over.

The Wind Chaser now dared to fly toward them at full speed to check the remains of the battle.

Li Wei bid farewell to the Legendary Witch Lich.

He flew toward the Wind Chaser, while the Legendary Witch Lich gathered the surviving Undead on the ground, preparing to head to the Dark World to further increase his strength.

The Wind Chaser was speeding along when he suddenly saw a figure appear ahead.

As he got closer, he saw it was Li Wei and looked surprised.

His flying speed gradually slowed.

The Wind Chaser stopped in front of Li Wei, looking at the massive crater in the distance behind him.

He asked, "Did you see who was fighting here?"

Li Wei shook his head. "The battle was already over when I arrived. I was almost caught in the aftershock of the final explosion."

Seeing this, the Wind Chaser said, "Perfect. Come with me. We’ll check for any traces left by the two combatants and maybe figure out who they were."

Li Wei said, "You go ahead. I’m going to head back first."

The Wind Chaser frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Alright, then. Take the news that the battle is over back to the Tower Master."

Li Wei nodded. "Okay."

With that, he directly opened a Space Teleportation Gate and vanished before the Wind Chaser’s eyes.

After a moment’s pause, the Wind Chaser flew toward the battlefield to search for traces left by the combatants, attempting to deduce their identities.

Li Wei returned to the Elemental Tower’s outpost in the Ancient Battlefield.

He saw Sean and chatted with him for a bit.

Sean was full of emotion. "I can’t believe it. It hasn’t been that long, and you’re already a Legendary Mage. It’s incredible."

"The speed at which your power is growing is even more ridiculous than mine. I suspect you must have some kind of super Mage bloodline."

In response, Li Wei could only chuckle and remain silent.

Li Wei shared some good news with Sean. "Perhaps this outpost won’t be needed anymore. You might be able to go back to the Floating City."

Hearing this, Sean was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.

Then, he let out a laugh and said, "Actually, it’s pretty nice staying here. At least I have some freedom."

Li Wei said, "Don’t you want to see the world outside the Elemental Tower?"

Sean’s expression changed, and a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Li Wei said with a smile, "Don’t worry so much. After all, I’m a council member of the Elemental Tower now. I’m qualified to make suggestions to the higher-ups and have them lift the restrictions on you."

Sean was moved. "Then... I don’t know how I can ever thank you."

Although he had always shown an avoidant attitude, Li Wei knew that Sean didn’t like being imprisoned within the Elemental Tower.

It was just due to the identities of both of Sean’s parents.

The Elemental Tower had no choice but to confine Sean within its walls.

Sean’s father was a Mage from the Elemental Tower, and his mother was a Purgatory Demon.

Because of this, Sean became a Bloodline Mage, inheriting the powerful bloodline Power of a Purgatory Demon.

Relying on the bloodline Power of the Purgatory Demon, he could easily become a Tier Five Bloodline Mage.

However, it was precisely because of this Purgatory Demon bloodline Power that Sean was seen by the Elemental Tower as having a "sinful" bloodline.

He was kept trapped inside the Elemental Tower, forbidden to leave, with no freedom.

The Elemental Tower was also afraid that if Sean left, the power of his sinful bloodline would go out of control and cause harm to the outside world.

This would in turn tarnish their reputation, which would ultimately affect the Elemental Tower.

Regardless, Sean’s father had once been one of the Elemental Tower’s Legendary Mages.

The Elemental Tower had to consider the Legendary Mage’s reputation, as well as its own.

Li Wei said, "It’s too early to thank me. Wait until I’ve actually helped you regain your freedom."

"Alright, I’m heading back to the Elemental Tower now. See you around."

"Yeah, see you."

After they said their goodbyes, Li Wei used the outpost’s Teleportation Array to return to the Elemental Tower.

As soon as Li Wei got back to the Elemental Tower, people sought him out to ask about what had happened in the Ancient Battlefield.

Soon, he was brought before the Tower Master and the Vice Tower Master.

The Elemental Tower’s senior decision-makers were all there.

Li Wei even saw the Hall Master of the Hall of Truth.

Li Wei briefly told the Elemental Tower’s upper echelons what had happened in the Ancient Battlefield.

He concealed the identities of the two combatants.

He only said that the battle was already over when he arrived and that he hadn’t seen who was fighting.

The specific details would have to wait for the Wind Chaser’s return.

At the very least, he had brought back news that the battle was over.

This allowed the leadership of the Elemental Tower to breathe a sigh of relief.

If the Demigod Level Powerhouses had continued fighting, the Elemental Tower might have been affected.

And so, the Elemental Tower’s leadership waited for the Wind Chaser to bring back more detailed information.

Li Wei returned to Valen’s estate.

With his financial resources, buying his own estate in the Floating City would have been more than easy.

However, Li Wei didn’t have much need for one.

It didn’t matter where he lived anyway, as he wasn’t sure how long he would be staying in the Elemental Tower.

There was no need to buy a house.

He had gotten used to living at Valen’s estate.

Li Wei wasn’t too clear on the aftermath of the demigod battle in the Ancient Battlefield.

He didn’t pay any attention to news about it.

In any case, as long as the Elemental Tower’s leadership didn’t summon him for another talk, it was fine.

Whatever the Wind Chaser found out was none of his business; the credit would all go to the Wind Chaser.

Li Wei just waited for the day after tomorrow, when he would go to the Star Realm to collect Sunshine.

The research on the Demon Seed would also have to wait until he returned from the Star Realm.

Besides, Hobbes was in charge of the experiment.

It was unlikely there would be any results in the short term.

The time to go to the Star Realm to collect Sunshine quickly arrived.

Fang Lide notified Li Wei in advance.

Li Wei arrived early at the Hall of Truth to wait for their departure.

Fang Lide explained to Li Wei, "A Space Mage from the Space Tower will be here shortly. The Space Mage will open a Teleportation Gate to the Star Realm. Once you arrive, just follow the Elemental Tower’s team to collect the Sunshine."

"Whatever you do, don’t wander off in the Star Realm. Otherwise, you might get lost and be unable to return to the Prime Material World."
