Chapter 675: Chapter 646: Life Is Like a Song_2

Through the collision and fusion of knowledge from two planes, the Soul Power he specialized in also grew significantly, with rapid progression in soul energy.

Body Constitution: 84, Spirit: 630, Soul Energy (Intermediate): 62

From the data displayed on the panel, it was evident that his soul energy’s graduated degrees were not far from the upper limit of 66 degrees for a Void King Wizard.

In terms of physical attributes, after becoming a Level 5 Legendary Star Venerable and exploring lifeforce, his growth was even more remarkable, though his understanding of the upper limits of a Legendary Star Venerable was limited.

Moreover, thanks to Vanette’s generous teachings, he gained a clearer understanding of Level 6, Thrones, and the supreme realm beyond Thrones.

Level 6 represents the leap in power and lifeforce, ascending to a new stage.

The throne is achieved when the elements domain reaches its pinnacle and combines with one’s mastered forces, transitioning from quantitative change to qualitative transformation, thereby leveraging Rule Power.

Once a living being condenses their unique throne, their existence becomes distinct and unparalleled.

To reach the supreme realm, one must refine their mastered Rule Power to the ultimate level, achieving complete control–a process of exceptional difficulty.

At present, Ivan has already realized his path to the throne.

He resolved not to continue down the former path of combining Soul and Flame, but instead to diversify further, incorporating more elements.

Only by doing this could he break into Level 6 in one fell swoop, condense a throne, and thereby leverage more substantial Rule Power.

This form of Rule Power holds greater potential and increases the possibilities of pushing it to its limits.

This approach also aligns with his own inner desires.

As such, in recent years, his research into the fusion of powers has deepened significantly. He has already explored the highest sorcerer formation–the Witch King Multi-Phase Array–as well as the Combined Array that incorporates the Green Azure Flame Vine, achieving notable progress.

Life is like a song, sometimes resounding, sometimes tranquil; each person has their own rhythm.

And everything about Ivan moves forward harmoniously with the ever-turning wheel of time, progressing steadily yet without the second prophecy from the Prophet’s Treasure Tome making an appearance.

On this matter, he no longer forces the issue.

Throughout these years, Antoinette has proven herself while her strength advanced in leaps and bounds.

As one of the outstanding figures among the second-generation Four Seasons Heavenly Girls, she was born at the lord-tier level, entering the Ancient King realm within mere years, and then effortlessly ascending to the Spring Throne of the Four Seasons.

With her talent and potential, few in this world could rival her.

Previously, due to her personality, she limited her own development; now, it seemed as though a checkpoint had been cleared, and the power she had suppressed for so long began to rebound, with progress naturally earning attention.

Ivan could feel that every time he met Antoinette, the pressure she caused him would increase slightly.

This situation was undoubtedly a joyous one for all involved.

…

In August of the same year.

While traveling outside, Ivan met the young Heavenly Girl, Anjie, whom he hadn’t seen for a while that morning.

“Mr. Ivan.”

“Good morning, Miss Anjie.”

“Finally found you.”

Anjie directly revealed her purpose for coming; she had something important to tell him.

“There’s… there’s news,” she announced, barely able to contain her excitement.

“What?” Ivan asked, uncertain.

“The World Tree–it’s news about the Wood Ancestor, the World Tree.”

Anjie’s following response confirmed Ivan’s hypothesis.

“Are you sure?”

“Actually, I’m not too sure. But you’d better hurry and come with me to confirm its authenticity yourself; otherwise, I fear the situation might change.”

Anjie nodded and then quickly shook her head, appearing very anxious.

If she weren’t normally so particular about manners, she would have grabbed the sorcerer’s hand and dragged him along at that moment.

“Alright, let’s go see it together.”

Ivan thought this made sense and did not refuse.

He sent out a message to Mavis and gestured for Anjie to lead the way. The two of them transformed into streaks of light, flying high into the sky and disappearing beyond the horizon in an instant.

Unbeknownst to them, just hours after their departure, Antoinette arrived at the place they had met.

“That guy, so cautious in normal times, surely this isn’t fake.”

Antoinette tracked their aura several times, even utilizing divine authority, yet to no avail–not even achieving other kinds of contact.

She had no choice but to give up, her expression dark and uncertain as she stared into the distance.

In terms of Anjie’s coincidental appearance during their escape route, she harbored suspicions–not for any other reason, but simply because it was far too coincidental.

The Grey Crow’s Haven seemed specifically prepared for their rest.

The identity of the Heavenly Girl was targeted to align with her status as the Four Seasons Heavenly Girl, making the two of them the only remaining members of the same race.

The Seven-leaf Wisdom Grass’s ultimate goal was Ivan.

As for the Grey Crow that could traverse the Annihilation Guts, in her memory and cognition, such a race had never existed there, nor had there ever been anything like the Grey Crow’s Haven.

This was entirely contrary to the rules of the Annihilation Guts, which were forbidden considering the entire plane’s nature.

Yet there was one point that left her uncertain. After all, to set up such an elaborate scheme was beyond ordinary individuals; she herself wouldn’t be able to accomplish it. Hence, she didn’t dare to recklessly speculate or casually say anything.

However, the events unfolding at this moment made her feel that things were confirmed–Anjie’s identity was indeed suspicious.

“Sigh! Hopefully, you sorcerers can uphold your principles and maintain that unfailing sense of vigilance.”

Having reached this point, Antoinette was powerless and could only hope the sorcerer would realize something was amiss sooner.

On the other side.

Led by Anjie, Ivan arrived at a place surrounded by radiant rose-red light–such places were not uncommon high in the skies of the Elf Plane.

“Go this way; hopefully, the path is still there.”

Under Ivan’s puzzled gaze, Anjie approached the glowing light, as if pushing aside a rock, and shifted a small portion of the light to the side.

Inside, there was indeed a path winding into the depths, with an entrance less than two meters wide. Its design was exquisitely crafted.

More importantly, Ivan felt a stirring–something faintly called to him from the path’s end–a sensation that hadn’t existed before Anjie shifted the light.

“Be careful; follow me from behind.”

Seeing Anjie about to dive into the passage, Ivan quickly stepped forward to stop her, signaling that he would go in first.

Afterward, the two of them entered the deep passage one after the other.

Anjie thoughtfully shifted the glowing mass back into place before accelerating to catch up.

The rose-red light was merely the outer layer of the glow. Pink, vermillion, emerald green, dark blue–various dazzling colors reflected off the inner walls of the passage.

Each color corresponded to distinct forces, all of which had transformed into pure light, growing increasingly concentrated the deeper they ventured.

Gradually, Ivan realized the passage’s overall shape resembled an extended tree branch–exceptionally large in scale. No wonder Anjie mentioned its possible connection to the World Tree.

“You truly are the Luck Goddess’s favored child.”

“No, I’m the child of the Four Seasons.”

“Almost forgot–you’re a messenger of the Four Seasons. Naturally, there’s no need to concern yourself with the Luck Goddess.”

As they delved deeper, the attraction Ivan felt grew stronger, prompting him to praise Anjie. It was remarkable that they found such an unusual place.

Regardless of the final outcome, this was no ordinary location.

Anjie’s willingness to bring him here earned his sincere acknowledgment of her kindness.

“That’s not entirely accurate–I still hope to receive the Luck Goddess’s blessing and remain this lucky forever.”

“Haha, you will, you will.”

The two pressed forward along the passage, ignoring occasional narrow offshoots, focusing single-mindedly on paths that grew ever more spacious.

This journey lasted eight to nine days.

Finally, aChu Kou emerged ahead. Ivan flew out first, only to stop short, stunned.

“Wait–Don’t—”

“Don’t what, Mr. Ivan?”

He didn’t have time to stop her before Anjie followed him out, and the original passage abruptly vanished without a trace, leaving only a vast expanse of blinding whiteness in its place.

This was a realm of spatial distortion and chaotic forces.

Many elements within this location overlapped with the scenes Ivan had glimpsed in the Prophet’s Treasure Tome’s prophecy, proving that they had indeed come to the right place.

However, this was evidently not a safe area–especially for Anjie, who faced innumerable dangers; Ivan knew he would have to keep a closer eye on her moving forward.
