The Saint Kings of the Sacred Realm react with shock to Nora's victory in the Shadow Battlefield, where the Dusk Palace Master ascended to level-10 and forced the Nightmare Army's retreat despite their overwhelming numbers. As Nora merges with its Dark Side, becoming a quasi-Giant world with over fifty Supreme powerhouses, the council debates awakening the Golden Will and preparing for potential invasion, with Heavenly Wisdom Saint King urging calm and trust in intervention from other realms. In the Abyss, the Succubus Queen agrees to ally with Nightmare's Lost and Ignorant Monarchs against Nora after secretive negotiations. Meanwhile, in the Underworld's Netherworld Ancestor Hall, the Sorren Quotations advises abandoning neutrality to join Nora and strike at the Abyss-Nightmare alliance.

Madam, please treat this with utmost gravity!

——————Sauron.

The Netherworld Ancestor shut the "Sorren Quotations," maintaining a serene expression, yet inner waves stirred subtly. Even after his demise, this individual persisted in shaping events throughout the Multidimensional Plane.

This figure stands as the forebear of all wizards.

Though not the mightiest, he remains the most puzzling. Under his wild facade hides a soul brimming with enigmas.

The Netherworld Ancestor understood Sauron’s amorous advances as mere facades; his true aim centered on the pursuits of Nora and the Underworld, thus she harbored scant grudge against him.

...

Time flowed onward relentlessly.

As darknesses merged, the Realm of Nora appeared as if a world-builder tool had sprung to life, forging seas and fresh territories through immense might.

The count of emerging landmasses surged past one hundred and eighty thousand. These fresh continents stayed as pristine canvases, devoid of societies or lineages, echoing the pristine state of the cosmos at its genesis.

In these places, the essences of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water abounded densely, alongside countless natural Aether Stones and ore deposits, overflowing with riches that thrilled the council's leaders.

Brimming with such wealth, Nora now resembles a youthful adolescent, transforming rapidly in mere moments until it's scarcely identifiable.

To date.

The count of Grand Wizards had climbed to 240, encompassing over twenty who completed the Nine Rings, and should progress remain steady, numerous Legendary Wizards might emerge within the coming thousand years.

Certain Legendary Reincarnators, such as Lucy, have reclaimed the Nine Rings Perfect Realm once more. Given her solid base, attaining legendary rank poses no great challenge, and she might even advance beyond.

Nora’s string of triumphs has ignited resolve among every lineage in the Pan-Plane, particularly as the Dusk Palace Master unveiled tenth-level might, inspiring countless to pursue studies within Nora.

The tally of level 9 foreign species has surpassed 300 and continues to expand swiftly. Projections suggest that by Nora’s third millennium's close, it could top 500!

Levels 9 and 10 form the pinnacle pillars of any society. In contrast, levels 6 through 8 constitute the core strength, the blade that dominates each conflict.

Lately, the solitary tenth-level mid-phase expert [Giant Wood King] aligned with the interim assembly, acquired a pinnacle artifact, and pledged loyalty to Nora.

The gravely wounded Fire Bear Emperor has vanished from sight. The Supreme Council showed scant concern, knowing hired fighters are by nature fickle.

Provided it aided the conflict in any measure, Nora suffered no true setback; losing one pinnacle artifact is trivial, and recovery awaits the downfall of the Devouring Sky Demon Lord.

Supreme Council.

Around the circular table, Edmund sat in quiet contemplation, eyes shut. Levi’s ascent to level 10 had notably eased his burdens.

Yet he refused to relax, since Levi still couldn’t rival the Supreme Tier.

Minimally, Levi must elevate both his wizard and knight paths to level-10. Only then could Edmund slowly withdraw, passing Nora’s vast vessel to the rising younger leader.

A soft glow of white emanated from the round table.

[Message from the Netherworld Ancestor, kindly review.]

...

Three years passed.

In the year 2215 of the Nora Era, marking 2103 in the Blood Battle.

Across the recent hundred years, bolstered by council aid and individual diligence, the Dusk Eighteen Riders saw a massive surge in strength:

Snapping Turtle Knight, Jade Elephant Knight, Feather Knight, and Green Bird Knight have one by one attained the level 8 domain; veterans like Blood Knight, Black Knight, and Ash Knight span from level 8 pinnacle to level 8 advanced, close to breaking into level 9.

The intermediary cohort had all ascended beyond level 8 mid-phase, and with lengthening timelines, a gap of hundreds of years holds no significance.

In essence, they all belong to the ’Heading to Thirty Party,’ striving toward the three-thousand-year goal.

Saint Ape Knight’s route within the Energy Sect hit level 8, and following the forging of the Chaos Seal, he opted to pursue Chaos Mage as an auxiliary role.

In a way, Emperor Mu ranks as the most versatile among the Eighteen Riders... level 8 knight, level 8 Energy Sect, level 3 wizard, level 1 magician.

Even Levi was compelled to admit:

The command of four elements, I cannot match.

Naturally, Emperor Mu chased these for pleasure; his core proficiencies rest in the knight’s way and the Energy Sect, where his gifts shine brightest and his potential soars highest.

Steel Dragon Knight lately progressed to eighth-circle wizard, discovering his unique flow in dual path refinement.

Through over two centuries, Mr. Silver’s reborn form as [Silver Thunder Knight] has become a fifth-rank dual refinement knight and wizard.

Emulating Wind and Fire Dragon Witch, he intends to elevate the Silver Mountain Family lineage to Mythical, or perhaps Supreme, when he reaches level 6. Details hinge on the hurdles of his breakthrough.

This existence will eclipse his previous life’s feats by far.

Inside the sacred hall, twenty-eight varieties of Mythical Bloodlines now exist.

Lately, fueled by Nora’s prosperity, backing for the sacred hall and knightly pursuits has intensified, seeking to forge more level 6+ knights prior to the all-out conflict.

Levi anticipates every Dusk Eighteen Rider attaining level 9, enabling them to join him on civilization war’s elite fronts, displaying the splendor of knighthood.

At present, Fire Dragon Knight boasts the highest promise; he’s lingered at level 8 pinnacle for ages, pausing his realm for supreme bloodline readiness without pushing forward.

Levi currently wields authority over Strength control and the defensive dimensional Great Tribulation. At the moment of truth, even with some shortcuts, Fire Dragon Knight will prevail.

That said, he trusts Fire Dragon Knight won’t need such aids.

Meanwhile, at the Starfire Wizard Academy.

Black Pearl Boy Garcia has stealthily progressed to Eight Ring Completion, with roughly five hundred years remaining in his vitality. Considering the landscape, hope lingers for him to touch Nine Rings.

After learning of [Seven-colored Scale Master]’s exploits, Levi tasked Leon with probing Garcia’s former incarnation; indeed, it proved to be him, underscoring fate’s unfathomable twists.

Still, with Garcia’s aptitudes, hitting Nine Rings in this incarnation may mark his ceiling, and echoing his prior life’s level-10 journey appears improbable.
