A Wizard’s Secret

“Naya?”

 Merlin was slightly stunned as he remembered that several of Aruba’s Free Being friends were killed by Naya.

 Unexpectedly, he met Naya here.

 “It’s you guys.”

 Naya casually glanced at Aruba and the others. To him, killing two Free Beings was not considered a big deal at all.

 Furthermore, to compete for a Latitude Cosmos, no price was too heavy to pay.

 Aruba and the others were livid but they knew that they could not do anything in the Central Region Major Cosmos. Even if they did, they were no match for Naya.

 “Naya, are you here to receive a mission for a Latitude Cosmos with a broken will again? You’re in luck as there’s a mission which rewards you just that.”

 The Central Region Controllers Alliance elder seemed to be very familiar with Naya as he said with a smile.

 “Oh? What mission is it?”

 Naya was a Controller. He would not give up any Latitude Cosmos with broken wills.

 “The mission isn’t difficult. Ever since Polo died, the Polo Latitude Region has become masterless. However, Polo had a long history with our great Sir Tyron and Sir Tyron had promised that he would cultivate a Free Being for Polo Region. After so many years, the Polo Region had been taken care of by Sir Tyron, so it’s naturally a thriving scene. Recently, the Bluewater World in the Polo Region is about to produce a Free Being but that might take hundreds or even thousands of years. This mission is to help that prodigy in the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos become a Free Being!”

 It was indeed a simple task. Since Tyron already believed that that man in the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos had the chance to become a Free Being, it was most likely true.

 However, this period was also very critical. A slight mistake might lead to a total loss of previous efforts. Therefore, someone had to constantly guard and guide him.

 This task was not difficult but slightly troublesome. Furthermore, it took a long time. If it was completed, getting a broken Latitude Cosmos was worth the effort.

 “Alright, I’ll…”

 Just as Naya was about to accept the mission, a loud voice interrupted Naya’s words.

 “Huh?”

 Naya turned and fiercely glared at the person who spoke. It was Aruba.

 Aruba ignored him and said calmly, “The five of us will accept this mission. Is it against the rules?”

 “That…”

 The elder hesitated before his gaze finally fell on Merlin. “If you’re a Controller and join our Central Region Controllers Alliance, they can accept this quest along with you. Otherwise, you can’t accept this quest.”

 “Haha, you have my thanks, elder.”

 Aruba was in a great mood.

 “Wait. Elder, I accepted that mission first.”

 Naya stared at Aruba while saying coldly.

 However, the elder was not worried and chuckled. “There’s no need to fight. This mission doesn’t have a limit on persons or teams. As long as you can help the person in Polo Region’s Bluewater World become a Free Being, it’s considered as completing the mission. You’ll get the reward of a broken Latitude Cosmos as well.

 “In other words, we can all join the mission? How will the one who contributed the most be judged? More specifically, how would you judge who helped the person in the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos in becoming a Free Being?”

 Naya asked calmly.

 “It’s very simple. When that person becomes a Free Being, he’ll naturally know who helped him the most. At that time, he’ll naturally be able to differentiate who truly helped him become a Free Being.”

 This method was very fair. To become a Free Being, besides an opportunity, enlightenment was necessary. He would naturally know in the future who it was who helped him be enlightened.

 “So, are all six of you accepting this mission? In that case, you should quickly go to the Polo Latitude Region. Sir Tyron is paying close attention to this mission.”

 This elder was very straightforward. Many people could join this mission. Although it was not challenging and there was no danger involved, the amount of time and energy needed was immense.

 It could take anywhere from a hundred years to several thousand years. As long as the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos did not produce a Free Being, the mission would still be in effect. Furthermore, the reward was a crippled Latitude Cosmos. However, what was more important was that there was a chance of Tyron noticing them. This was something that countless Controllers and Free Beings had dreamed of.

“Right, there’s something else. You mustn’t fight in the Polo Latitude Region. Otherwise, Sir Tyron won’t be courteous.”

 “Fine. I’ll wait for you in the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos!”

 The killing intent in Naya’s eyes was extremely clear and everyone could sense it. Then, Naya left the Central Region Controllers Alliance.

 “Aruba, I’m afraid Naya is already intent on killing us.”

 The other three Free Beings frowned, vaguely worried.

 Aruba did not comment and instead said to Merlin, “Brother Merlin, join the Central Region Controllers Alliance first. When you’ve officially become a member, we’ll go to the Polo Latitude Region together.”

 Even though Merlin wanted to ask Aruba’s plan, now was not the time. He had to first join the Central Region Controllers Alliance.

 The elder also said, “Come, come, come. Let’s see if you’re a Controller. If you join our Central Region Controllers Alliance, there’ll be many benefits. Sir Tyron attaches great importance to the cultivation of talents. As long as you have enough potential and are very talented, he might even directly give you a Latitude Cosmos for you to devour.”

 “What? Performing well can even directly earn me a Latitude Cosmos that I can devour?”

 Merlin was extremely shocked. He was gradually understanding the differences between Free Beings and Controllers. Free Beings required a long time to accumulate before only improving slightly. The process was quite slow.

 Perhaps a few hundred or thousand years was only the blink of an eye to a Free Being. If they wanted to advance and improve, they had to calculate in terms of “latitude years”.

 However, Controllers only needed to devour a Latitude Cosmos. After devouring ten, he could expand his Latitude Cosmos into a Minor Cosmos and his strength would also be greatly enhanced.

 Therefore, a Controller’s strength did not depend on the amount of time but whether the world he owned was large or not.

 If he could devour a Latitude Cosmos after just becoming a Controller, then Merlin’s strength would certainly greatly improve.

 “Yes, as long as you perform well. Hehe, generally, Controllers, especially those in control of Latitude Cosmoses, are very ordinary. The Latitude Cosmos is the basis of a Controller. Therefore, you need to demonstrate your Latitude Cosmos and let us see just how far your world has developed.”

 Aruba also said, “Yes, Brother Merlin, don’t be afraid. Just show them your Latitude Cosmos. There’s no need to think too much. Would it be that easy to obtain a broken Latitude Cosmos? Only the one-in-ten-thousand kind of extremely gifted person would be able to obtain this fragmentary Latitude Cosmos as a reward. However, no such Controller has appeared in the Central Region Major Cosmos in many latitude years.”

 A few elders also smiled upon hearing Aruba’s words. There was indeed a reward but it was almost impossible to get.

 Merlin took a deep breath. He did not know how powerful or ordinary his Illusory World was either. However, since there was a reward, he did not need to hide it.

 “Illusory World, descend!”

 With heavy pressure, the Illusory World immediately descended and enveloped the entire Central Region Controllers Alliance.
