Thirty years later.
With a swoosh, the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft stopped in mid-air. With a squeak, the metal hatch opened, and Grimm and Little Eight slowly descended.
The ground was thousands of miles of Magnetite Star ore ruins, but it was not the Dagutha Tai or the Grand Peak Magnetite Star. Instead, it was one of the eight Magnetite Stars that were repelled by the World Force before the Sorcerers World discovered this world.
These ruins would be one of the important resources that the Sorcerers World would plunder in the future, and they would be transported directly to the Sky City.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Four intelligent Mechanical Marionettes flew over. They were the Demon-Hunter Guards that were on guard duty nearby. A Light Mausoleum Fortress that was tens of meters tall was built on this small piece of ruined hilltop. It shone brightly in this dark world where there was no sunlight or moonlight.
Ever since the Magnetite World lost its last Magnetite Star, the Magnetism Law of this world had gradually begun to fade. The Light Law of this world had obviously weakened, and the Rainbow Law of the ancient times had also disappeared. The world had begun to become dark and cold.
It was as if Grimm's attack on the Grand Peak Magnetite Star had inadvertently led to this world's cataclysm!
A large number of creatures that could not adapt to the rapid changes in the environment died, and only a few Level-1, Level-2, and Level-3 creatures struggled to adapt to the new environment.
Grimm's Awakening Ray had only been exchanged for a Magnetite Star Core, and the remains of the ancient Sevenfold Rainbow Ancestor belonged to Grimm alone. The four Stigmata Sorcerers did not even know that this had happened, but the consequences of this cataclysm had to be borne by Grimm.
The so-called consequences were to make up for the loss of the world's development.
On the Void Fortress of the Crimson Full Moon, the Stigmata Sorcerers and Demon-Hunter Sorcerers had all retreated, leaving only a few Arcane Sorcerers from the central region of the Holy Tower who were constantly shuttling through the World Teleportation Portal, looking for exploitable resources in this world.
The reason why Grimm stayed in this world was because after the Magnetite people perished, this world needed to find a new intelligent species to maintain the world's rule under the Sorcerer's Will and promote the Sorcerer Law.
Otherwise, relying on the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers and Mechanical Marionettes to harvest such a large amount of Magnetite Meteorite Ore was simply wishful thinking.
"Xiu!"
The desolate and bone-chilling wind raged. Little Eight, who was on Grimm's shoulder, sneezed. Little Eight wiped her mouth with one wing and said, "Young Master, I want more chili for dinner."
Grimm stepped on the falling black Magnetite Star Ore, and four mechanical golems flew over.
"Lord Wizard."
"Yes."
Grimm looked at the Prism Fortress in the distance. There were five Foreign Arcane Sorcerers from the sorcerer families in the central region of the Holy Tower. They were all Level-1 Sorcerers, and behind them were a large number of Soul Slaves with thick skin and flesh.
The five Arcane Sorcerers had been exploring foreign resource points for many years after the end of the expedition. They also had the ability of Sorcerer Barriers, and each Sorcerer's exploration ability and survival ability were very outstanding.
When the five of them sensed the fluctuations of the Rank-1 Honor Badge on Grimm's body, they were immediately moved. They hurriedly flew over and bowed.
"Greetings, Master."
A black aura drifted around Grimm's body. The sorcerer's robe was a kind of hazy and distorted elemental state. It was as if he would completely disappear in the next moment. Little Eight, who was holding a greyish-white Sabbatical Goat Staff, stood listlessly on his shoulder. Under the Mask of Truth, her eyes were deep and mysterious. It was as if she could see through the surface of all things in the world.
After Grimm nodded at the five Arcane Sorcerers, he looked at the thick-skinned Soul Slaves that the Arcane Sorcerers brought with them. He seemed to have found some clues. He asked in a calm voice, "What's with the wounds on these slaves?"
"It's a type of vampire bat. These slaves have rough skin and thick flesh, but their perception is very low. It's very attractive to these vampire bats. There are always some vampire bats that secretly suck the blood of the slaves. And when the vampire bats suck blood, they will secrete a kind of anesthetic on the wound. At the same time, it can effectively prevent the wound from clotting. In this way, after these bats fly away, these slaves will have some wounds that take a long time to heal. "
After Grimm nodded, he suddenly waved his hand. After a series of "Chirp Chirp Chirp" sounds, a Star Stone wrapped around a vampire bat that was sucking the blood of the slaves. He pulled it over.
"It's that damn disgusting bat again! Young Master, Little Eight, I firmly object. This world must not be handed over to this creature to rule! "
In Grimm's hand, the small bat with a circle of black fluff was very agile. Unfortunately, after Grimm observed for a while, he shook his head and said, "Although they can already adapt to the rules of this world after the cataclysm, their intelligence and evolution degree do not meet the requirements. Moreover, such a group of creatures can't fulfill the requirements of mining Magnets for the Sorcerer World."
After saying that, Grimm threw the small creature in his hand to the side. In shock, the vampire bat flapped its wings and disappeared into the dusky sky.
After asking a few Arcane Sorcerers about the situation of the exploration, Grimm once again flew into the distance.
…
Six months later.
The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft that was flying in the sky stopped once again. Carrying Little Eight, Grimm slowly descended from the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft, his figure distorted and unreal.
"This is the Southern Horizon World Gap that Black Orchid Garden Stigmata Sorcerer mentioned? It's not wrong to call it a gap, because it's really too narrow and chaotic. Even if a Level-1 creature wants to pass through, it would be extremely difficult, and Level-1 creatures can't resist the effects of the drastic changes brought about by the cataclysm. "
Shaking his head, Grimm found a few low-radiation stones nearby as souvenirs.
As early as when he was still a Sorcerer-Apprentice, low-radiation stones like this had no effect on Grimm's Refinement Body. However, in the process of refining some synthetic materials, this kind of ore would occasionally be used.
"The Fire Energy faintly coming from the gap is mixed with some highly toxic minerals. It feels like a radiation stone. Could it be that the other side of this narrow gap is connected to a Radiation World?"
Grimm speculated.
"Caw caw caw, a Radiation World? I remember that in ancient times, the Sorcerers World conquered a world of highly intelligent creatures that used radiation energy. That kind of world was extremely dangerous for low-level Sorcerers and Soul Slave monsters. Occasionally, there would be areas with high levels of radiation that were almost equivalent to maintaining attacks of tens of thousands of degrees at all times. "
Grimm had also flipped through the information on the few Radiation Worlds that the Sorcerers World had conquered. The laws of these worlds were indeed the most dangerous of all the Material Worlds that the Sorcerers World had conquered.
"Let's go. For this World Gap to evolve into a real World Gap, it'll take at least ten thousand years. Who knows, it might even disappear halfway through. There's not much value in observing it."
Finishing his words, Grimm brought Little Eight back to the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft and flew into the distance.
