Chapter 690: Chaos of Time and Space

Lin Li had made plenty of gains in the Sky Castle, but the most valuable one was the knowledge he obtained in the Seven-Realm Spiral. Lin Li was well aware that the others were external objects, after all. Regardless of how much power they could supply, he would be left with nothing once the power was stripped away from him. The power he mastered through his own understanding would be the most reliable.

The Seven-Realm Spiral was the ultimate form of Magical Domains that contained the knowledge that powerhouses of the Sanctuary-realm had about the usage, change, and creation of nomological power. Lin Li managed to use his Light and Darkness Domain to create his Light and Darkness Sword through his understanding of the Seven-Realm Spiral. With his sword, he cut and destroyed Stephen’s Soul-devouring Domain, and the understanding was also the reason Lin Li could manipulate the power of the three pieces of the debris of the stars that was near the Sanctuary-realm, defeat Thunderbolt, and destroy the mana-condensed Stars of Fury.

The enlightenment and knowledge that Lin Li got from the Seven-Realm Spiral was to be of great help to him in his promotion to the Sanctuary-realm. In fact, when he stepped into the Seven-Realm Spiral, the gains that he obtained in the Seven-Realm Spiral would still aid him in increasing his power and abilities.

In addition to the gains from the Seven-Realm Spiral, another important item he obtained was the book of magic that he found in the library of the Central Tower, which were just like textbooks. The books might not be important to Lin Li himself, but they were essential and significant for the Tower of Dusk.

After all, the Tower of Dusk had only been established not too long ago. Despite Lin Li’s efforts that gave them a good start, a force with money but no competent manpower would only be a commercial organization, and not a Guild of Magic.

The books of magic that seemed basic were like precious books that would help the mages grow. Although the content wasn’t that profound, it was enough to ensure that the learners would successfully reach the Legendary-realm. Lin Li was sure that it would definitely give the Tower of Dusk an advantage over other forces when it came to training and nurturing mages.

The development of a force would only be healthy if there was a continuous cultivation of excellent talents because manpower was fundamental, and everything else was just the icing on the cake. Although Lin Li had 20 alchemy puppets that could immediately become a powerful force after their cores were modified, the demise of the Tower of Dusk would only be a matter of time if they had to rely on this force to survive.

Lin Li was still thinking about himself and the future development of the Tower of Dusk, and pondering how he could take advantage of the benefits gained from the Sky Castle. On the other hand, Cheyenne, Elder Randy and the rest who entered the Teleportation Portal before him had already appeared at the Teleportation Portal deep inside the cave.

Looking at the familiar scene around the Teleportation Portal, Cheyenne couldn’t help but feel emotional and thankful for the fact that he had invited the young mage Lin Li along. Otherwise, the various obstacles that they’d encountered along the way might’ve posed a bigger threat to him, and he might not have been able to even pass through the Dragon’s Cave, let alone the murderous traps in the Sky Castle.

Indeed, sometimes a choice might change the destiny of an entire family. He initially only had a minor conflict with Lin Li during the cooperation in the Scar of Death. Later on, he received an invitation to attack the Syer Bandits. For most forces, it would be good enough if they did not add fuel to the fire. However, the Malfa Family made some counter-intuitive choices by sending Hutton and the elite mages of the family to participate in the siege of the Syer Bandits.

The reality had proven their initial choices correct. He was originally the weakest party out of all who participated in the expedition, yet he was the one who made the greatest gains. The hundreds of high-level Elven Magic Legion magical equipment sets, a Legendary Demon Winged Angel, various magic books that contained esoteric magic knowledge and lost forbidden curses, and the blueprint of the Tower of Death would all bring about drastic changes to the Malfa Family.

Cheyenne thought about it while slowly walking down the Teleportation Portal. However, he did not leave immediately, and instead turned around to wait for the young mage Lin Li to appear.

Elder Randy and the elves followed Cheyenne out, but they all seemed rather confused and dumbfounded. They did not seem happy to be out of danger at all, because they all knew that they would have been left behind in the Sky Castle if not for the Gravitational Skill.

Are humans, particularly that young mage, really despicable, shameless, selfish and cunning? Even Elder Randy had doubts about his long-established mindset because what happened just now was proof that he and the rest would not be able to leave the Sky Castle if it weren’t for Lin Li who rescued them.

Yet, the young mage Lin Li ended up being trapped in the Sky Castle because he chose to save them. The Undead Heaven was level-27, and they reckoned that it would be difficult for Lin Li to escape even if he had power that was at the peak of level-22.

Walking down the Teleportation Portal, Elder Randy looked at Princess Elune who was beside him before glancing at the other two subordinates. He could not help but sigh and think to himself, I didn’t expect there to be kindhearted and noble humans too.

Like Elder Randy, Princess Elune, Culofen, and Gildor were all filled with complicated emotions. They’d never thought that they would be rescued by a human being, which was even more shocking than getting rescued by other elves. They turned around in unison and stared at the Teleportation Portal, waiting for the portal to light up again.

However, after Norfeller and Ujfalusi exited, the Teleportation Portal no longer lit up again for a long time. With the passage of time, their hearts began to sink.

Everyone knew how tense and urgent the situation was at that time. Lin Li could only escape the attacks from the Undead Heaven by following them into the Teleportation Portal. If that had been the case, the young mage should have already come out after some time. However, they still did not see any signs of the Teleportation Portal being activated after a long time. Could it be that he had…

As time passed, everyone gradually lost all hope because they had been waiting for a long time.

Cheyenne walked towards Norfeller and Ujfalusi, and said, “I’m sorry, I’m afraid your master… There’s no point in waiting any longer. Why don’t you two go back with us?”

Cheyenne was saying that out of goodwill. After all, those two Undead creatures were Lin Li’s servants. Although they were rather competent, it would still be difficult for them to leave the Haiga Mountain Range safely; hence, it would be better for them to follow the team. In Cheyenne’s opinion, Lin Li could have very likely already gotten trapped in the Undead Heaven, and he reckoned that bringing Lin Li’s Undead servants away from the Haiga Mountain Range safely would be a form of gratitude.

However, Norfeller and Ujfalusi shook their heads at the same time, and coldly said, “It’s alright, Master will be fine.”

“I know what you guys are thinking, but the Undead Heaven…” Cheyenne paused when he saw their firm expressions.

Everyone knew that there was definitely something like a Soul Contract between Lin Li and the two Undead creatures. Otherwise, they would never be willing to be a servant to a human being. In such contracts, the servants would die together with their master in order to allow them to forever prioritize their master’s safety.

Since Norfeller and Ujfalusi were not dead yet, it could indeed mean that Lin Li was not dead. However, Cheyenne and Elder Randy knew that the power of the Undead Heaven did not lie in killing enemies, but in turning them into Undead creatures. It would use soul fire to turn enemies into undead puppets that would belong to the Undead Heaven forever. Hence, they knew that Lin Li was still alive, but that did not prove that Lin Li was unscathed.

How could Norfeller and Ujfalusi not have thought of that? Cheyenne believed that they were also well aware that it was actually a good chance for them to regain freedom. However, the two of them were clearly loyal to the young mage Lin Li, and were no longer restrained by the Soul Contract.

With a soft sigh, Cheyenne said, “Well, I’ll take my leave then. I’ll do my best to help take care of Mage Felic’s Tower of Dusk.”

Although the Elder Randy and the elves had always seen the Undead creatures as filthy beings, they had a change in mindset and opinion of the Undead creatures when they saw Norfeller’s and Ujfalusi’s reaction. However, they did not speak to the Undead creatures, and simply looked up at the Teleportation Portal before leaving quietly with Cheyenne.

No, why haven’t I arrived yet!? Lin Li suddenly frowned and snapped out of his thoughts. Although he had no idea how long it had been, it was definitely more than a minute. He wondered, Why am I still in the chaos of time and space? Could it be that Holy Light and Undead Heaven have collided and caused an unknown effect on the Teleportation Portal?

Lin Li immediately panicked. It was not a laughing matter, for he was now in the chaos of time and space. If the Teleportation Portal were to fail or malfunction abruptly, he would definitely be ripped into shreds by the storm.

Lin Li hurriedly scanned his surroundings until he finally confirmed that the power around him was still within the normal range. He was finally relieved. However, he suddenly thought about the long journey that he had when he was transported to Anril. He wondered if he would be transported to another place again after this long journey. If he were to return to his hometown, would his magic powers still work? If he were to be transported to another mainland, what would things look like…

Sensing the unusual changes in the teleportation, Lin Li allowed his imagination to run for a long time, but he eventually calmed down again. In any case, his magic powers could never be stripped away from him. Regardless of whether he returned to Anril or another place, his abilities would be what allowed him to continue surviving.
