Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2883: 586: Meeting the Netherworld Ancestor, the Secret of Lifespan!

The speaker declared that should the Nora Civilization evolve into a colossal world down the line, it wouldn't turn into a dull, decaying domain overrun by ancient relics. Instead, it would boast the swiftest pace of renewal and expansion. No entity endures forever without end; clans, empires... everything gets swept aside by the relentless flow of time, giving way to superior successors."

Levi remained a bit puzzled and inquired:

"So why don't the astral world and the abyss curb their own growth?"

"The abyss is by nature a consumer, a lingering scar from the ancient troubles of the Land of Darkness; it emerged among the very first, thriving by swallowing raw worlds. By the time the Land of Darkness stirred from its primordial turmoil, the abyss had already taken shape.

It's akin to a persistent ailment in the human body; restraint is possible, but eradication isn't. Through wild and haphazard sprawl, it carved out its domain, gobbling up supplies and enduring via endless strife.

Regarding the astral world and nightmares, they arose in a similar era, pioneering a fresh contest for assets—namely, spiritual ones. One embodies the light, the other the dark; they split devotion and dread between them, rising as the sole pair of core spiritual realms."

Levi absorbed these revelations.

A greater insight into the universe's grand laws dawned on him.

With a heavy sigh, he responded, "I get it now; thanks for the enlightenment, Lord Nether Ancestor."

Yet the gray-robed woman interjected:

"That said, the Holy Dragon could enter the Underworld."

"Wouldn't that drain a ton of life force from the multidimensional plane's inhabitants?"

"Lately, several Nether Emperors have perished. Two spots now sit empty; one's taken, but the remaining one could go to the Holy Dragon."

"What costs come with this?"

"No toll needed; simply hunt down extra demons. Booty can be claimed; the abyss raids elsewhere, and we can wrest provisions right from its jaws too."

"In that case, I'll depart now; gratitude, Lord Nether Ancestor."

Levi spun around to exit.

Suddenly, the gray-robed woman called out:

"I look forward to the day we battle side by side."

Levi glanced back with a grin:

"That'd be my privilege, Madam."

...

Nelarayan World.

The Emperor of Ten Thousand Beasts and his spouse appeared fraught with worry.

The Holy Dragon's head hung limp, its massive form curled near the Emperor, resembling a fallen ally on the verge of eternal rest amid the fray.

The Emperor stroked the enormous dragon's flank.

"Hang in there, old companion."

The Star Horse wore a tense expression too.

"Is that individual truly capable?"

Lady Olisa replied:

"Right now, alternatives are scarce; put faith in Levi. From what we witnessed; he's undoubtedly a key player in the Underworld."

Rowling shut her eyes in contemplation, awaiting the outcome.

The sound of rippling waters, so familiar, roused Rowling. Her gaze lifted to the celestial vault.

A silhouette strode across the surges, flanked by a Hell Warhorse. Looming over was a towering form clad in ebony armor, the Six Paths Reincarnation Sword whirling at his rear.

Reincarnation Emperor!

Levi regarded the Emperor and offered homage: "Appreciate it, senior."

The Reincarnation Emperor gave a faint nod and a smile: "Thanks aren't necessary."

He'd figured Levi's bid would flop, yet to his surprise, the Lord Nether Ancestor consented.

From the pair of open slots, one awaited the Spirit Monarch, while the other had been eyed by a potent force from the multidimensional planes, but that one declined it.

The Reincarnated Saint Emperor eyed the Holy Dragon and spoke calmly:

"Perfect timing; merely seven days of life remain for you. If you're resolved to cut bonds with Nelarayan, then follow me."

Joy surged through the Emperor of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Hurry, Augustus, set off!"

As it prepared to depart, the Holy Dragon fixed its gaze on the pair, brimming with intricate feelings.

"Farewell, Rockel, farewell, Olisa..."

It exchanged goodbyes with every longtime ally, offering earnest thanks to Levi and Rowling.

Turning to Levi, it murmured gently:

"Young one, thanks for granting me a glimpse of this astonishing wonder. I detect echoes of known presences within you.

May you uphold their legacies.

Press on to the Ultimate!"

With those words spoken, it trailed the Reincarnation Emperor into the Underworld.

Their next encounter would hail Augustus as a Nether Emperor!

Matters resolved, Levi eased his frame and queried:

"Has the Brilliant Prison Dragon God arrived yet?"

Rowling denied it with a shake of her head.

"Negative; prioritize the merging process; postponements might breed troubles."

The Emperor of Ten Thousand Beasts brimmed with tangled sentiments.

His ally departed, leaving him with just a level-10 early-stage Star Horse and a level-9 late-stage Legendary Creature known as the phantom beast.

Even at level-10 middle stage himself, his true battle strength hovered at early stage. Such are the constraints of a Beast Master. Fortunately, his partner held level-10 middle stage, and some heirs among the Twenty-four Heavenly Kings promised potential. His remaining years ought to suffice for the civilization's resurgence.

Upon blending into Nora, prospects loomed unclear. Still, through dealings with Levi, he felt this might not spell doom, but instead a chance for the Beast Master lineage.

One day, Nelarayan could spawn its very own:

Super God Beast Master!

...

Astral world.

Chaos Wasteland.

In this realm, Divine Kingdoms cluster densely, surpassing even those under the Father and Blood Fire Dominator. The Lord of Chaos's might may not top the astral world, yet his sway undoubtedly does.

His devotees, often branded as malevolent deities by the common folk, lack the splendor and righteousness of the seven orthodox gods, leading to constant oppression from those seven in Nora.

In the end, merely the Wilderness Brotherhood clung on, fighting for endurance.

Sure, subdued within Nora, but elsewhere, the Lord of Chaos wields fierce authority, never curbing his lesser gods, letting them rampage freely.

In due course, four among those lesser gods amassed infamous notoriety spanning the multidimensional plane, dreaded as the famed "Four Evil Gods of Chaos."

Father of Plagues, Lord of Doomsday, Grand Duke of Death, Lady Famine... all wield intermediate divine power, save the Father of Plagues, whose God's Incarnation met destruction, toppling him from his status to mere weak divine power, stripping away his former haughtiness.
