Chapter 723
The Spell Caster civilization, which had three ultimate existences and was once glorified in the Void Zone, was actually created by this Aruba before his eyes .
No matter how unbelievable it was to Merlin, it was the truth .
Aruba was unperturbed by Merlin’s revelations and continued to speak . “The birth of Spell Casters exceeded my expectations . I merely constructed some simple Spell Models for them based on the characteristics of the Elements . It was at this point that the creativity of intelligent life was manifested . With just a few basic Spell Models, the Spell Caster civilization developed further and further effortlessly . Thereafter, they have developed Spell Models that are much more advanced and complicated as well as alchemy, potions, runology and so on . ”
“However, the gods were powerful . Although the Spell Caster civilization’s development had exceeded my expectations, it had not been a smooth-sailing journey . A product of the Void Zone’s natural order still remained–the gods! Naturally, these gods had discovered the Spell Casters in no time . The fact that the Spell Casters were born seemingly without rhyme or reason also puzzled the gods . Nevertheless, similar to all the dimensions in the Void Zone, once the people ruled by the gods gained strength, they would retaliate against the gods . The Glorious Land was no exception!
“Hence, the Spell Casters began to retaliate . Alas, they have only developed so far, so their first and second attempts had been a failure . That, I believe you’ve already learned from my stone carvings . It was at this juncture that I intervened . Among this bunch of Spell Casters, I’ve nurtured a few people with strong inherent talents . I can still remember it very clearly . I changed my identity and went to instruct the first Spell Caster, Augustus . ”
Merlin was shell-shocked . This name was not unfamiliar to any Spell Caster and was especially well-known among the Great Legends . This was because he was the first Ultimate Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization, Arcane Wizard Augustus!
“The second one was called Ceci . His talents were not lacking compared to Augustus . Under their leadership, the Spell Casters finally overcame the rule of the gods and even began to step foot in the Void Zone . I knew then that the Spell Casters will finally become a powerful civilization . However, this wasn’t what I wanted to achieve . Both Augustus and Ceci were very powerful, but they chose to integrate into natural order and be bound by it . They are forever unable to break the bindings of the natural order, and this was not my original intention .
“Subsequently, I chose another few people among the Spell Casters and used different identities to instruct them . You Spell Casters are indeed perfect . You’re intelligent, powerful and brimming with potential . In just a short amount of time, you were able to develop into a powerful civilization which was almost beyond my wildest imagination . Nonetheless, you have not been able to give birth to an existence above the ultimate existences . I remember the last two people I instructed were named Diss and Setoh . The talents of these two were probably second only to Augustus and Ceci . ”
Merlin raised his head abruptly and a strange glint flashed across his eyes . Setoh was obviously Arcane Wizard Setoh . He chose to travel along the same road as Augustus and Ceci, which was to integrate into the natural order . Despite being bound by the natural order, they were able to have incredibly powerful abilities and become ultimate existences .
As for Diss, many people might not know him, but Merlin knew that Diss was the name of the Blackfire Lord . Merlin had been surprised that the Blackfire Lord and Arcane Wizard Setoh had such an intimate relationship with one another . Both of them had shared the same mentor . At that point, Merlin was also curious as to what kind of mentor could nurture an Arcane Wizard as well as a Great Lord .
It turned out that it was Aruba all along . In fact, it appeared that Aruba had single-handedly created the Spell Caster civilization . Even the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards had been instructed by him under different identities . Perhaps even they did not know that they had always been watched by Aruba .
“The Spell Caster civilization is now developed . They don’t need me anymore . As for my initial aspirations, they’ve been in vain… None of them could overcome the natural order or surpass an ultimate existence . I’m still alone . So, I finally decided to leave . After staying in the Void Zone for some time, I finally decided to leave and continue to explore the Latitude Cosmos, but I still felt a little dissatisfied when I was about to leave, so I laid down the secret place .
“This time, I don’t need to instruct anyone anymore . The Spell Caster civilization is already powerful enough . However, I must warn you all . If there comes a day when you’re qualified to integrate into the natural order, you must remember not to do so . Once you’ve integrated into the natural order, you’ll be bound by it and will never be able to break through your limits . The rest of the Latitude Cosmos is very exciting . The Void Zone is merely one out of billions of Latitude Cosmos . Only by overcoming, reversing and prevailing over the natural order, you’ll be able to leave the Void Zone and enter the vaster Latitude Cosmos . Although I’m aware that the chances of this happening are very slim and almost close to null, I still hope that one day I’ll encounter someone who can traverse the Latitude Cosmos freely like me . Remember, my name is Aruba, and I’m a traveler in the Latitude Cosmos!”
As soon as Aruba finished speaking, his figure started to fade and was about to disappear completely .
“That’s all? You’ve set up such an elaborate scheme and put me through so much trouble to find you . Don’t you have anything for me?”
Merlin looked at Aruba fading away with a sense of speechlessness . Perhaps this Latitude Cosmos traveler had lived for far too long, or his stay at the Void Zone was merely an insignificant speck in his long lifespan . He was just going to disappear after revealing the secret of the Glorious Land’s origins?
Despite the fact that Merlin had already received a priceless benefit, Aruba was an existence who has surpassed an ultimate existence . So, this was considered stingy of him . Aruba had left behind so many treasures in the secret place but did not leave them anything .
Aruba, who was yet to disappear completely, smiled . “You were able to find me, of course, you’re lucky . Back then, I’ve really mistreated the Mobata world by sealing them away from the rest of the world . From now on, Ruba’s Monument will disappear along with the seal on the Mobata world . You can now enter the Void Zone…
“As for the two of you, I’ll leave behind two Soul Medallions . The Mobatans will only need to drip a drop of fresh blood whereas the Spell Casters only need to imprint a strand of their Mind Power . The Soul Medallion can resurrect you three times after you die, and you’ll remain in the exact same condition before your death . These Soul Medallions are not easy to make . I’ve been spending all my free time in the past few hundred thousand years making these two Soul Medallions . Haha, hope you’ll be lucky…”
Aruba’s figure finally disappeared, and a golden stake appeared in both Merlin’s and Veron’s hands . This was what Aruba had called Soul Medallion .
“Resurrection…”

Merlin had explored the Void Zone, so he naturally knew that even the god could only triumph over death under specific circumstances . Once their divinity was destroyed, the gods would die .
It was the same for Spell Casters as well . The Great Legends have consolidated Maxims because as long as the Maxims existed, the Legends could not die . In reality, once a Maxim was destroyed, the Spell Caster would die as well .
Once they were dead, even the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards could not be resurrected . This was the constraint of the natural order which even the ultimate existences could not defy .
However, these two Soul Medallions could resurrect a person three times . This was obviously a reversal of the Void Zone’s natural order . Only a supreme existence like Aruba who prevailed over the natural order could create such a nature-defying treasure .
Therefore, Merlin and Veron did not hesitate at all and refined the Soul Medallions according to Aruba’s instructions . The Soul Medallions were quickly connected to the two of them . Wherever the Soul Medallion was placed, upon their death, they would be resurrected from it .
“Space is collapsing,” Veron said to Merlin . Merlin looked around, and true enough, the space around them began to collapse . The beautiful scenery from earlier was destroyed in the blink of an eye .
Hum…
Suddenly, a ray of light wrapped around Merlin and Veron, and they vanished without a trace .
It had been half a year since the three Sanctuary Contenders stood guard around Ruba’s Monument, but Veron had not returned .

Just as the three of them wavered, Ruba’s Monument began to quake furiously .
“The stone monument is moving . I wonder if Sir Veron is coming back?”
The three Sanctuary Contenders stared at the quaking Ruba’s Monument without blinking . The last time Ruba’s Monument moved was similar to what it was doing now .
Swish, swish!
A dark vortex appeared on top of Ruba’s Monument, and two figures flew out . It was really Merlin and Veron .
“Sir Veron, you’re finally back!”
“Half a year has passed . Does Sir Veron now know the secret of Ruba’s Monument?”
The three Sanctuary Contenders were overjoyed when they saw Veron . Obviously, Veron was the leader and spiritual pillar for these Sanctuary Contenders .
“It has been half a year?”
Veron did not answer these three Sanctuary Contenders . Instead, he looked towards Merlin . Veron still did not understand several parts of what Aruba said, but he believed that Merlin understood it completely .

Hum… Hum… Hum…
Ruba’s Monument did not stop quaking after Veron and Merlin had returned . On the contrary, its quivering had gotten even stronger than before .
Kchak!
A series of strange noises resounded from Ruba’s Monument, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the structure itself . The next moment, the monument crumbled into a pile of dust .
“Why did Ruba’s Monument crumble?”
“No power in the world was able to affect Ruba’s Monument . How did it crumble so suddenly?”
The three Sanctuary Contenders exchanged looks of bewilderment . However, Veron and Merlin looked calm . They both knew the reason . Aruba had left, so Ruba’s Monument naturally crumbled .
Moreover, the movement had not stopped . They could clearly see the surrounding space begin to weaken bit by bit as if the force that kept them imprisoned was rapidly disappearing .
Chi!
Merlin pointed a finger forward, and a flame began to burn . The space around them had collapsed in no time . This would have been completely unimaginable before this . Right now though, it was possible to shatter space even without the power of an Honored Legend .
After a while, the space in this world would be restored to normal . Aruba’s seal would also disappear . Any existence comparable to a Great Legend would be able to step into the Void Zone .
