Age of Adepts

This is a lonely space deep in the void.

The dark and deep sea of ​​stars twinkles in the sky, and each beautiful and bright star represents a healthy and perfect plane world. It was only because of the distance that they were too far away that they shrunk down into an undetectable faint spot of light on the pitch-black sky.

But in the eyes of those life forms who stepped out of the plane for the first time, these twinkling stars seem to be close at hand, as if they can reach out and grab them. In fact, this is just an illusion.

Even the star closest to them is probably hundreds of millions of miles away. If those planar creatures are bewildered by the beauty of the stars and want to get close, they will be horrified to find that even if they fly for ten or eight years, they will never even think about getting close to these stars.

So close to the sky... The vastness and majesty of the star sea world is beyond the comprehension of plane creatures!

The void is not empty.

Most of the voids look empty on the surface, as if there is nothing inside. But only those who have experienced it can truly understand the true meaning expressed by emptiness and non-emptiness. The void is not empty, it is full of ups and downs of energy tides, they sometimes converge and sometimes dissipate, forming a magnificent energy ocean wonder.

It's just such a scene, ordinary plane creatures are not qualified to appreciate and get close to it!

Under the endless erosion and grinding of the energy tide, those substances that lack the protection of the energy system will be decomposed, reduced to various tiny element particles that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, and reintegrated into the void.

However, at this moment, there is a huge meteorite with a radius of about 100 meters rolling and drifting in the void. The surface of the meteorite intersects with the ubiquitous energy tides, splashing out dazzling sparks and steaming clouds.

The tumbling and oscillating energy tide is like a greedy monster, constantly washing and grinding this huge meteorite, biting some gray-black powder from it from time to time, and flinging them profusely into the depths of the void beyond sight .

If there were no accidents, this fragment of the continent that fell from a broken plane would be swallowed up by the void storm in three to five years, and not even the last residue would be left.

But at this moment, it has become a foothold for some strange beings to live in.

Wrapped in a hazy, pale, dead air, Lich Conganus stood quietly on a relatively flat place on the surface of the giant rock. At its feet, a small talisman array with a radius of 5 meters is running flashing and flashing, sending out some strange fluctuations that are difficult for outsiders to detect.

It has been waiting here for a year, and judging by its appearance, it seems that it can wait forever indefinitely.

Of course, its waiting is not meaningless!

Finally, with the slight vibration of the energy tide, a tiny spot of light in the dark sky was getting closer and closer, and slowly approached the foothold floating in the depths of the sea of ​​stars.

A moment later, the smoky cloud of fire on the surface of the meteorite suddenly parted, and a strange creature with a particularly strong physique broke in.

This is a strange creature resembling a scorpion, with a body length of 5 meters. The surface of the body is covered with a layer of light golden hard carapace.

Its body is divided into three sections: front, middle and back.

The torso in the middle is the narrowest, surrounded by four pairs of sharp jointed limbs shining with metallic luster. The head at the front is short and flexible, with a pair of huge and terrifying insect pincers sticking out from both sides of the head. Behind him was a terrifying scorpion tail with distinct joints, and the half-meter-long tail needle at the end was pitch black, with an unpleasant bitter taste faintly wafting out.

Coming from the void, its body surface propped up a khaki-yellow mask, protecting itself within it, without being eroded by the ubiquitous energy tide.

As soon as it broke into here, this weird scorpion flashed its green compound eyes, and stared firmly at the Lich Congnas. The latter didn't seem surprised by its arrival, but instead 'communicated' in a slightly lazy tone.

"Sand King, you are early! Those guys haven't arrived yet, you should rest here first!"

"Congnas, I hope that you will invite tough players this time, otherwise...that ice dragon is not easy to deal with!" The 'Sand King' Scorpion also responded with spiritual words.

"Don't worry, the ones invited this time are all selected experts, there won't be any mistakes..." Lich Congnas shrank into a golden cross-like condensed soul fire that penetrated the two huge rubies Projected out, the strength of mental power is simply staggering.

And as the initiator of this mission, it naturally has convincing authority.

Therefore, after hearing the Lich's guarantee, the scorpion stopped talking, swayed its body to the corner of the meteorite, lay down on the ground as hard as steel and closed its eyes to recover.

Those who can cross the vast sea of ​​stars and come here through the storm of the void will naturally have no faults. Even this inconspicuous scorpion is full of powerful power of the fourth level. With its powerful physical strength and the strength of its carapace, it can travel tens of thousands of miles in the void storm without losing much strength.

It's just that in this empty, temporary foothold with nothing, it really can't find anything else to do except to close its eyes and rest!

The arrival of the different scorpions was like a beginning. In the next half a year, two more powerful beings broke in one after another. After a brief exchange with the lich, they began to rest on the ground.

So far, this small meteorite with a radius of less than 100 meters has already carried 4 powerful beings from different planes. They each occupied a corner, waiting silently, communicating silently, as if they didn't care about the passage of time.

Finally, another two months passed, and no outsiders came, and the earliest Scorpion Sand King who came from the other side couldn't hold back anymore.

"Hey, Congnas, is the person you called coming yet? If no one comes, we should discuss how to act later!"

"Don't worry, that person will definitely come! Moreover, his power is very helpful to our operation, so..."

"Hmph, he's so arrogant that he made my lord wait for him for so long... I'll have to see which plane he is a powerful person from!"

"Hehe, look, just as he was talking...he came!"

As the sharp spiritual words of the lich Congnas echoed in this small space, a dazzling fire ignited in the void in the distance, and then amidst a huge roar, the fire flickered and flickered. Quickly approach here.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the center of the meteorite burst into flames, and a strange human figure with a height of only 2 meters suddenly emerged. After a while, the flames dissipated, and the figure of this strange visitor was seen clearly by everyone.

The last visitor turned out to be a human being!

The visitor was wearing a set of strange black dragon skin soft armor, wrapped in a dark cloak, and the hood covered most of his face, only revealing a sharp white chin and two flashing dark red hairs. Glossy sideburns.

His stature is only 2 meters, neither fat nor thin.

Such a height may be regarded as a big man among human beings, but in this strange gathering place, he has become an out-and-out 'little person'.

Even Lich Congnas is nearly 3 meters tall, and the others are even bigger and stronger, with daunting stalwart bodies.

This human wizard was holding a strange red witch staff with a bland magic orb inlaid on the head of the staff. And there was a thick big book hanging from his waist with a silver chain, looking at the corner of the book inlaid with gold and silver, it seemed that it was very convenient to hit people.

The face of the visitor was very young and handsome. However, those present are all old monsters who have experienced hundreds of years of suffering, so naturally they will not judge people by his appearance, thinking that he is a fledgling new wizard.

When the Lich Conganus saw the arrival of the human wizard, the scarlet soul fire spun around him. When the 'eyes' fell on the thick big book beside him, his soul flinched suddenly, and his mental power fluctuated.

Is it the Book of Wisdom?

But this breath is not right! Does this fire witch have a second powerful book-type auxiliary witch in his hand?

Any individual's own ability and portable equipment are part of its strength, and it is also a secret that cannot be coveted and pryed by outsiders. So even though the Lich Congnas had some doubts, he couldn't investigate further in detail, so he stood up and greeted him seemingly indifferently.

"You're finally here!"

This young human wizard was naturally Greem who had traveled thousands of miles after receiving the message. Among the many beings present, he only 'knew' the Lich Congnas, so he nodded and smiled and said, "My plane is a little far away from here, and I spent more time on the road..."

"It's good if you come, it's good if you come...Time, hehe, what does it matter in the eyes of us'people'!"

While saying polite words, Lich Congnas calmly felt the energy overflowing from Greem's body.

My dear, it's only been less than a hundred years, this guy who didn't take it too seriously at the beginning has already jumped to the 4th intermediate level!

Even with the experience and knowledge of Lich Congnas, he couldn't help but feel a little horrified at such a terrifying advancement speed.

Seeing that the always arrogant and ruthless lich also showed such 'enthusiasm', the three first comers couldn't help but look at me and you, all of them cast their eyes on this human wizard who had just arrived.

"Hey, latecomer, I'm Sand King, what do you call me?" The Scorpion Sand King, who has always been fiery and stubborn, couldn't help being the first to speak.

Sand King is just the title of this scorpion, and obviously no one cares about its real name.

After all, everyone was just invited to complete a task, and they couldn't trust each other, let alone reveal all their privacy.
