Six-petaled snowflakes drifted down one by one, creating a snowy scene everywhere.
"It's snowing …"
Wu Ming extended his hand and let a snowflake fall onto his palm, letting the warmth melt it.
"New Year's Year 9996 of the God of Creation Calendar … It's been a year since I came to the Phantom World …"
He was currently sitting in a carriage of a merchant company. He opened the window and admired the snowy scenery as he hurried to the next city.
"I've gained a lot this year and recovered a lot of strength …"
Wu Ming counted his phantoms. "There's an outstanding breed, a beginner Warrior-level Green-eyed Evil Wolf, an outstanding breed, a beginner Warrior-level Iron-winged Golden Eagle, and a beginner Warrior-level Divine Netherworld Phantasm, a beginner Warrior-level Divine Ghost Celestial Star. Finally, I just obtained a Silver-type Lava Tyrant, a peak Warrior-level Warrior-level Lava Tyrant … In terms of strength, an ordinary Commander-level Spirit Controller is no longer my match …"
This might be the peak of other spirit masters' lives, but Wu Ming had achieved this in a short year!
"I should have the strength to fight for the Child of Providence now, right?"
The chaos was just the beginning. The true peak of the chaos would come in Year 10000 of the God of Creation Calendar. This would be a holy disaster that would affect the entire Phantom World! The four divine spirit masters were the Children of Providence!
Wu Ming's goal was to disrupt this process and obtain the greatest benefits for the Main Shrine!
He hadn't dared to interfere before because he wasn't strong enough. But now, he felt that he had some capital and could give it a try.
After all, even a divine spirit master couldn't improve as fast as he did!
"Although the Flame Continent's Divine Level Spirit Controller was at the Monarch level right from the start, according to the rumors that spread later, he once appeared in an important historical event!"
Wu Ming slowly clenched his fists.
"Year 9996 of the God of Creation Calendar, during the New Year's Celebration in Giant Tree City!"
Giant Tree City was the capital of the largest country on the Flame Continent, the Forest Alliance!
According to its shape, the Flame Continent could be divided into three cores. The smaller cities in the northeast were mostly ruled by family clans like Boulder City, and their branches were fragmented.
The central region also had Central State City, as well as many business alliances.
As for the west, it was the largest Forest Alliance that occupied almost a third of the Flame Continent's land.
Unfortunately, due to the Flame Continent's terrain being too fragmented and the existence of various other factors and dangers, there had never been an empire that could unite the entire continent in the history of the continent.
The reason why Wu Ming remembered Giant Tree City was because this year was known as the Bloody New Year! Something big happened in Giant Tree City that would change the direction of the entire continent!
With the assassination of the Federation's Chief Consul, the entire Giant Tree City was burned to the ground, and the Flame Continent was thrown into chaos!
This tragedy would be one of the two major events that would mark the beginning of chaos on the Wind Continent and the fall of the Star Moon Empire!
"It was not long after this event that divine spirit masters began to make their debut. According to novels, the wheel of history began to roll forward …"
Wu Ming touched his chin and laughed involuntarily. "In comparison, I finally have a chance to intervene …"
"Master!"
The carriage door opened, and a gust of wind mixed with snowflakes flew in. Zuo Linling's expression was excited. "According to those merchants, we can enter Giant Tree City by tonight …"
"Very good!"
Wu Ming nodded. "In Jia Kongming's notebook, one of his laboratories is near Giant Tree City. We can also look for traces of ancient immortal arts …"
"Many thanks … Master …"
Zuo Linling was moved. She naturally didn't know about the Bloody New Year and thought that Wu Ming had come here specifically for her.
Creak! Creak!
Accompanied by the sound of the carriage axles rolling and a loud reminder from the front, the carriage slowly drove up a steep slope. After passing through a continuous mountain range, a magnificent city immediately appeared in front of Wu Ming.
It was different from the Central State City that had rivers running into the sea. Giant Tree City was built on an immeasurably large tree stump!
It was surrounded by lush vegetation, and a kind of hazy green light covered the entire sky. If it was a wood element phantom, it would be able to get a certain increase in power here.
"Rumor has it that … during the Dark Era, more than 9,900 years ago, this place was the territory of a Wood Element Phantom King … However, in the chaos that destroyed the world, the furious God Phantom King destroyed everything here. Even the King Phantom King was not spared, and all that was left was this huge tree stump …"
Wu Ming said in a chanting tone.
"Master … You mean …" Zuo Linling obviously hadn't heard of this secret, and her eyes were full of surprise as she looked at Giant Tree City.
"Yes … That king phantom used to be an ancient tree. Even now, there are still huge remains left …"
Wu Ming said the truth, and his eyes were filled with amazement.
Although he used the strength of Reincarnators to classify, this king phantom was only a Level Five Reincarnator, similar to an Earth Immortal. But even if it came in person, it might not be able to achieve this.
Not to mention anything else, just this body was enough to make the Celestial Immortals of the entire Dazhou World stare helplessly.
The reason for this was naturally because of the world.
"This phantom world is extremely supportive of phantoms … Even if the strength of the various phantoms is the same as that of the Dazhou World, the destructive power of the phantoms is greatly increased, as if it has been amplified …"
A gloomy light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes.
In the Dazhou World, even Celestial Immortals could not destroy the world, unless it was their own grotto-heaven.
But here, the entire world was almost destroyed by the phantom of the four gods!
This was not a gap in strength, but a difference in the support of the world. This phantom world suppressed the immortal path and other external forces, but was very tolerant of the power of the phantom.
"This kind of influence …"
He murmured, and a wisp of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had made an important decision.
"Master …" Hou Yong also came to the side of the carriage. "We've arrived at Giant Tree City …"
"Yes!"
Wu Ming replied and nimbly jumped off the carriage.
Only here did he discover that the walls of Giant Tree City were ridiculously tall, as if they were left behind by the remains of the original king level phantom. They were very sturdy, and many of the walls had green sprouts and vines growing on them, giving off the smell of vitality.
"Those who enter the city, remember to abide by the rules of the city. Outsiders who enter must stay in designated commercial hotels. If you meet them in the middle of the night, you will be treated as thieves and demoted to coolies!"
In front of the huge wooden door, there was a group of Forest Alliance guards loudly reading the rules.
"This is the western forest, right? It's really rare … "
Wu Ming carefully sized up these soldiers.
There were spirit masters and ordinary people among them. Putting aside their strength, their appearances were very unique. Their facial features were exquisite, their skin was white and delicate, and they were slightly androgynous. It was hard to distinguish their gender, and their ears were even a little pointy.
All in all, they were similar to the elves that Wu Ming had heard of in his previous life.
"Rumor has it that the humans who live here moved here after the king phantom of the giant tree died. After thousands of years of evolution, they have gradually come into contact with the original king's spiritual energy, and their physiological structure has changed …"
This kind of change naturally couldn't be considered a complete change. At most, it was the difference between the yellow, black, and white races in Wu Ming's previous life.
But the ordinary people living in this area had given themselves another name – the 'forest race', flaunting that they were a race that had received the care of the forest.
"It's very clear … this kind of flaunting that they are superior and wanting to separate themselves from the human race, it would be strange if the other humans didn't like it …"
"This is only one aspect. The other aspect is that the conflicts that have accumulated over the years have finally erupted in this new year … The Alliance Magistrate was assassinated, Giant Tree City was burned to the ground, and the Forest Alliance that has occupied almost a third of the Flame Continent has fallen into the flames of war. This has also announced the beginning of the chaos of the Flame Continent …"
Wu Ming obediently paid the fee and entered the city with Hou Yong and Zuo Linling. The light in his eyes was still flickering. "In this incident, there are monarchs and even king-level spirit masters appearing. It's better for me to keep a low profile …"
"I remember that the ones who instigated this incident were the rebel army of the Forest Alliance, right? Rumor has it that they were led by a king-level spirit master, and many talents appeared later on. Of course … they were destroyed by that godly spirit master in the end, and they were just stepping stones … "
"Of course, I don't need to get involved in the open and covert struggle between these two forces. I just need to silently observe and wait for that child of destiny to appear …"
… …
Just as Wu Ming settled down, a spirit master with bright eyes was holding a portrait in the distance. His eyes shone like fire, and he seemed to have made up his mind. "Dongfang Shuoming!"
"I know, I already told you. Please let me go …"
Next to him was a youth from the Dongfang family. From his appearance, it was actually Dongfang Song, who had trained with Wu Ming in the Starry Firefly Mountains!
At this moment, he looked miserable, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.
Even though Wu Ming had the Divine Ghost Heaven's Secret Star, and any divination would be ineffective, he had already displayed the Evil Wolf and the Iron Winged Golden Eagle in Waterfall City. Adding on his disdain to disguise his appearance, Lord Lan had still tracked him all the way here.
"Where is he?"
Lord Lan asked the last question.
"I know … I heard him say to Dongfang Die Yu that he was going to the Forest Alliance!"
Dongfang Song immediately shouted.
"If that's the case, then you have no value …"
Pu!
Extreme fear appeared on Dongfang Song's face. A crack appeared on his forehead, and he fell to the ground.
"The Forest Alliance?"
Lord Lan took a deep look at Boulder City, then turned around and left.
