Lin Li had just obtained the debris of the stars, Nothingness, from Osric, which contained the Laws of Space. However, with Lin Li's current strength, he could not exert the power of Nothingness at all, nor could he comprehend and master the Laws of Space in Nothingness. If he had the Immortal King's robe that sealed the Laws of Space, Lin Li would be able to strengthen his mastery of Nothingness through learning the Laws of Space in the robe, thereby allowing him to exert more of the power of Nothingness, which was the most bizarre of all the debris of the stars. That was definitely a great temptation for Lin Li, and it was not inferior to reading the Light Bible or the Darkness scripture.
Seeing that Lin Li was tempted, Nefa smiled smugly, and continued, "You can rest assured that I need you to help me get that thing. At least before you get it back, I won't harm you. That won't do me any good at all." He now knew that he was facing a cautious person. If he were to constantly express how friendly and unhostile he was, Nefa would not believe him. Hence, it was better to prioritize his own interests.
However, although the Immortal King's robe that sealed the Laws of Space was tempting, it was not enough to make Lin Li forget his caution. Although Nefa made it sound easy, and it seemed that even an ordinary person could retrieve that thing safely, Lin Li firmly believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. However, Lin Li firmly believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. One had to give as much as they wanted to get. If things were really as simple as Nefa said, why didn't he let the Minotaurs do it? They were all Legendary-level creatures. If one didn't work, then two would do. If two didn't work, then 10 would do. Although he couldn't move, he believed that it wouldn't be a problem for him to control the Minotaurs.
Hence, although Lin Li was a little tempted, he did not agree to it right away. Instead, he quickly regained his composure, and stared at Nefa warily. "It's not bad, but it's not up to you to decide whether it's dangerous or not. You'd better not hide any details from me. I'll judge for myself if that robe of yours is worth the risk," he said impolitely as he stared at Nefa warily.
"You're very cautious. Although I don't think it's necessary, it makes me more confident in you." There was a hint of approval in Nefa's eyes, and he continued, "If you want to talk about the thing I asked you to retrieve, we have to talk about this space first. Do you know the origin of this space?"
Legend had it that when chaos gave birth to Anril, it also gave birth to countless spaces of various sizes. Due to the fact that those spaces were not supported by perfect and balanced Laws like those in Anril, some of them had long been destroyed and died after thousands of years of evolution, while some of them relied on Anril to survive, such as the Undead Realm where countless Undead creatures gathered, and the Shadow Realm that was known as the reverse of the world. In addition, it was said that the Endless Abyss created by the Ancient Demon Gods was created by gathering some relatively stable spaces together.
Outside of Anril, the space that floated in the turbulence of time and space was like the stars in the sky. Not to mention Lin Li, a young Legendary-mage who had just arrived in Anril for a few years, even existences like the Immortal King and Geresco did not dare to say that they knew every space in the turbulence of time and space. Hence, Lin Li did not interrupt Nefa's question, and simply stared at him coldly while waiting for him to continue.
Nefa did not care about Lin Li's attitude, and continued in a calm tone, "This space is a space located between the four Elemental Worlds of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. It also relies on the balanced and stable World Laws of Anril to exist. In fact, since the birth of Anril, the relatively unstable spaces have already collapsed and died, while the remaining spaces are all inextricably linked to Anril. A rather delicate balance has long been formed. If there are no accidents, this balance will change with the passage of time. Perhaps after thousands of years, these worlds might even merge with Anril. However, the collapse of the Tree of Eternity had a great impact on the World Laws of Anril, which then led to the collapse of the delicate balance between these worlds. "
Lin Li had already heard about the impact of the Tree of Eternity on Anril from Tutankhamun when he was in the Blackstone Mountains. In fact, Geresco had long expected such a situation, but at that time, the most important thing was to prevent the High Elves from reviving. As long as the Tree of Eternity did not fall, the High Elves would not perish. Even if all the High Elves were killed at that time, as long as the Tree of Eternity still existed, it would be able to continuously breed new High Elves. It would be wishful thinking for humans to end the Dark Age.
The agreement between Geresco and Tutankhamun was also to find and groom a candidate who could make up for this problem. However, at that time, Tutankhamun said that when Lin Li reached the Sanctuary-realm, he could use the magic incantations in the Book of Eternity to seal the cracks in space on Geresco's behalf. However, now that he thought about it, things were probably not that simple. For Anril that had lost the Tree of Eternity, sealing the cracks might only be a temporary solution.
"Under this influence, the relative position of the fire Elemental World has shifted, and a portion of it has overlapped with this space now. The overlapped position is at the bottom of this volcano. The power that you saw just now that produced the Elemental Storm came from the power of the entire fire Elemental World. If I hadn't been suppressing it with my own power, the entire space would have collapsed in an instant once the power of the fire Elemental World erupted. In fact, even Anril would not be able to escape the fate of destruction. "At this point, Nefa finally looked a little worried and helpless.
Upon hearing this explanation, Lin Li finally came to a sudden realization. It was no wonder that the volcano would erupt with such violent and terrifying power when Nefa moved a step away just now. The four Elemental Worlds of earth, fire, water, and wind were, as their names suggested, worlds that were completely composed of a single elemental Law, just like how the Shadow Realm only had the Laws of Darkness. That was the same as the Laws that constituted Anril. It was a true World Law that even the gods could not fully control. What Nefa said was definitely not an alarmist statement. If this power really surged into Anril, it would definitely affect the balance of the Laws of Anril itself, and the entire Anril might really collapse because of it.
However, Lin Li didn't think that Nefa was the kind of person who would be willing to sacrifice himself. If it were Tutankhamun, it might be more believable. Hence, he was not moved by Nefa's great spirit of sacrifice. Instead, he said in a mocking tone, "I really couldn't tell that the descendant of the Dragon of Destruction is actually a savior who is willing to sacrifice himself to save the world. Your spirit is really great."
Lin Li's words seemed to have finally made Nefa unable to take it anymore. The calmness on his face disappeared, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He cursed in exasperation, "Do you think I want to do this!? If it weren't for that despicable human mage who lied to me and said that my father's bloodline was left in this place, I wouldn't have been harmed like this! If it weren't for the fact that once the power of the fire elemental world surged out, I would be the first to suffer. I don't care if this world will be destroyed or not, I don't care if Anril lives or dies! I've been fighting with this damned fire elemental power for thousands of years. If this goes on, my power will be depleted by this damned fire elemental power sooner or later. "
Nefa's sudden outburst shocked Lin Li, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is that human mage Geresco?"
Rogge had entered this world after Nefa. Hence, apart from Rogge, the only human mage who had the ability to bring Nefa here seemed to be Geresco, who was known as the God of Mages. After all, even if it was a lie, it would be impossible for Nefa to believe it without sufficient strength.
However, what made Lin Li even more puzzled was why Geresco only managed to trick Nefa here given his strength. At the end of the Dark Age, Geresco could already be considered the most powerful mage in Anril. Killing the High Elven queen and destroying the Tree of Eternity was not something that an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse could do. Although Nefa was a descendant of the Dragon of Destruction, he was still just a descendant, after all. Besides, he was hatched from a magical crystal that was split into two, and did not inherit the true bloodline of the Dragon of Destruction. If Geresco really wanted to get rid of Nefa, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to do so. Why would he go through the trouble of tricking Nefa here? Could it be that he wanted Nefa to suppress this power?
"That's right, it's that despicable bastard. Who else could it be other than him!?" Nefa immediately cursed, as if he wanted to vent all the anger and resentment that he had accumulated for thousands of years. It was not the first time that Nefa had cursed Geresco like that in the past 1,000 years, but this time, he seemed especially carefree, perhaps because someone was listening.
"Are you done cursing? If so, let's get down to business," Lin Li said impatiently. At the same time, he became even more wary of Nefa. Lin Li often read Geresco's Book of Eternity, and had also heard many legends about Geresco. Although he dared not say that he understood the God of Mages very well, he at least felt that Geresco was not an evil person. In that case, Nefa, who had been trapped here by Geresco, was obviously not as innocent as he appeared to be.
