Abel didn’t know how faithful the Holy Continent was becoming with his Potions. Everything was being managed by Thief God Milton. Abel had no skills when it came to those matters.
He focused all his attention on stabilizing the Laws of his Territories. After two days, their energy finally became balanced to his three Wizard Patterns.
He didn’t know what would happen if he stopped during the process, so he did not even enter the Dark World.
—
After some time he could finally train again, but the Spirit Connection Circle sounded the moment he wanted to enter the Dark World again.
He connected to it and realized it was a message from the God of Wealth.
It was a call for help!
The God of Wealth wasn’t too close to Abel, but he had still shared his holy knowledge with Abel in exchange for Abel’s protection. Therefore, Abel could not pretend he hadn’t seen the message.
After all, holy scriptures were a god’s most important asset, and he would not have shared it with Abel if the world wasn’t so dangerous.
The God of Wealth did not mention too much in the message, instead asking if he could chat in person. Of course, that meant chatting through the Spirit Communication Circle.
Abel thought for a moment and activated the Spirit Communication Circle.
“Great Headmaster Abel, I’m sorry for disturbing you!” The God of Wealth got down on his knees humbly. As far as he knew, even the Wizard Union couldn’t do anything against Abel, so he had to put his ego aside and show some respect. In a private meeting like this, leaving a good impression was more important than anything else.
Abel bowed back politely. “God of Wealth, what are you looking for? I’ve been in seclusion lately, and I won’t be able to come out for at least a month!”
He was in the most crucial part of his training, and his Territories were extremely unstable. Also, if the Wizard Union found out that he had advanced from Rank 32 to Rank 35 in no time, they might want to kill him again!
“Headmaster Abel, a month ago God Rank Wizard Mosley requested that he be allowed to enter my Realm in search of some precious item. Of course I rejected him, but a few days ago a few of my most loyal followers were attacked.
“Yesterday Wizard Mosley made another demand. If I don’t let him enter my Divine Kingdom, he will fully suppress my followers!” the God of Wealth continued helplessly.
Indeed, the God of Wealth was the perfect target, since he was the weakest god and his faith was the easiest to suppress.
Wizard Mosley was going crazy trying to find the World Stone Heart, and most places in the Central Continent had already been searched through many times.
The only places left were the Kingdoms of the Gods!
Of course, Abel was still the most suspicious target, but they couldn’t do anything to offend him!
If all the gods’ Kingdoms were searched through and they found nothing, Abel would become even more suspicious. The one who obtained that information would become the Wizard Union President’s disciple!
However, entering a Divine Kingdom was not easy. It was basically messing with the entire God Alliance!
This would have been impossible in the past, but now that the Wizard Union had nineteen God Rank Wizards, they had started the process with the weakest god!
Gods like the Goddess of the Moon and the God of Death had entire races on their sides, so it was much harder to pick on them. As for the Goddess of Earth, all her followers were farmers and it would be very dumb to threaten people so poor, unless the Wizard Union intended to kill them.
On the other hand, the God of Wealth’s followers were businessmen, and a bit of intimidation would do the trick!
“God of Wealth, what do you want me to do?” Abel frowned. He knew what the Wizard Union was looking for, as he was the one who had caused all of it.
“Headmaster Abel, you don’t need to make a move. Please represent the God Alliance and object to the Wizard Union for us!” the God of Wealth bowed to him again.
“That’s it?” Abel was a little confused. He thought he might need to send out his God Rank Summons for a fight, but just raising a little objection would do the trick?
Indeed, he had totally underestimated his influence. Unless the Wizard Union ordered him to proceed directly, Wizard Mosley couldn’t do anything about it. After all, Abel was no longer that Potion Master who could only gain respect through what he had offered for sale.
“Headmaster Abel, are you agreeing?” the God of Wealth asked excitedly.
He had heard Abel’s tone and it had made him very happy. A god’s Realm was their safest place, and a wizard entering would put them in great danger. It was the God Alliance’s bottom line, and they would fight for it, even if all their followers died!
Losing their followers was very bad, but they could still recover after thousands of years.
“I will let the dragons know as well!” Abel replied firmly.
He did not have any personal connections with the Wizard Union, but he had the entire dragon race on his side. Raising an objection through the dragons would definitely be much more impactful!
“Headmaster Abel, I will tell my followers to give more benefits to the dwarves!” the God of Wealth agreed quickly.
He had already shared his most valuable holy scriptures with Abel, so it was Abel’s duty to help him, but as the God of Businessmen, something he could also do was help the dwarves!
——
The God of Wealth ended the call. Abel put all his God Rank Summons in the Monster Ring and teleported over to Dragon Island without hesitation.
He would need to use the Communication Circle of the dragons to complete the God of Wealth’s request.
As for the dragons discovering his Rank, he didn’t mind since they were a secretive race, without the complex politics of the Wizard Union.
Also, with his eight God Rank Summons around, he should be safe!
—
He stood in the Teleportation Circle, and Dragon Island soon appeared before him.
“Greetings, Headmaster Abel!” Blue Dragon Bart bowed to him.
“Blue Dragon Bart, why are you guarding the Teleportation Circle?” Abel smiled back with a nod. Blue Dragon Bart was a Legendary blue dragon he had met before, but he was not expecting him to be guarding a Teleportation Circle!
“Headmaster Abel, didn’t you know?” Blue Dragon Bart was stunned, but he quickly realized how bad-mannered he was, so he quickly added, “Dragon Island is now on lockdown, and we have increased our defenses!”
“Dragon Island is in lockdown?” Abel was also stunned. No one had told him about it!
But it made sense. He had been in seclusion for two years and had not bothered to check the reports in detail.
Afterwards, Abel did not bother Blue Dragon Bart, and flew directly towards Dragon Island. Along the way, he saw many giant orb-shaped structures floating in the water.
Upon closer inspection, he realized they were entire dragon caves that had been dug out of the mountain, the rock still around them.
It was hard to imagine what kind of power it would take to do something like that!
As he kept looking around at the changes, Headmaster Eugene and Headmaster Carlos flew out to meet him. They had probably sensed his energy.
“Headmaster Abel, we finally met again!” Headmaster Eugene called out as he approached from afar.
“Headmaster Eugene, Headmaster Carlos!” Abel smiled back in greeting.
“Headmaster Abel, I’m so sorry, but your cave has been moved to the ocean without your consent!” Headmaster Eugene told him, looking embarrassed.
Abel quickly unleashed his Power of the Will and indeed, there was a den jutting out of the ocean that felt familiar. It was his own assigned cave!
“Headmaster Abel, your Rank…!” Headmaster Carlos suddenly gasped after Abel unleashed his Power of the Will.
“I’ve been training hard for the past year!” Abel couldn’t think of a better excuse.
The Dragon Headmasters exchanged gazes. If training could make someone go from Rank 32 to Rank 35 in just a year, what the dragons were trying to do was laughable. They would have been at the top of the God Ranks long ago!
“Headmaster Abel, congratulations!” Headmaster Eugene knew Abel had his secrets, so he could only smile stiffly.
“Thanks!” Abel replied, pointing at the dragon dens. “Why are the dragon’s caves in the ocean?”
“Headmaster Abel, Dragon Island is actually the Realm of the Dragon God. He only transformed it to ensure the safety of the dragons.
“Since the Demon from Beyond is about to Awaken, the Dragon God sent us a dictum saying that he was taking his World back!” Headmaster Eugene explained.
Indeed, the Dragon God and the Wizard Union President were both trying to find a solution for the same problem: how could they form life in their Worlds?
The Wizard Union President had chosen to sacrifice souls and let them merge with his World. As for the Dragon God, he had chosen to open his World up to the dragons.
One was for their safety, the other was hoping the powerful life force of the dragons could promote the creation of life in his World. It was just that the Wizard Union President’s methods had been a bit more effective.
Still, what the Dragon God had done was exactly the dragon’s style: use the laziest method to change steadily over time. The process might take tens of thousands of years more, but it was stable and life would eventually form under the impetus of the dragons’ life force.
At that point the Dragon God would be Rank 45, and he would have a shot to become even more powerful!
