《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret

"Swoosh."
A black-robed figure flew out of Setoh Arcane City. He did not care about the collapsing Setoh Arcane City and instead, stared at the dark Void Zone with intense eyes.
"What's going on?"
The black-robed figure forcefully stopped a Legend and asked in a heavy voice, "What happened here? Where are the three Great Arcane Wizards?"
As soon as the Legendary Wizard saw the black-robed wizard, he hurriedly said respectfully, "You're the Legend Lord. The three Arcane Wizards left Arcane City together and seemed to have gone to the front line. It had something to do with the Rock Tribe. Only the three Great Arcane Wizards, so we're not very clear about what happened either. How could Setoh Arcane Wizard collapse for no reason?"
It turned out that this black-robed figure was the Maxim avatar Merlin had left behind in the Spell Caster civilization. For fear of being seen through by the Rock Tribe Progenitor, Merlin's Maxim avatar did not show up but stayed in Setoh Arcane City the entire time.
As a result, Setoh Arcane City was crumbling now but Merlin did not know that Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar with his real body had died as well.
"The three Great Arcane Wizards went to the front line?"
Merlin's Maxim avatar's heart shook. It seemed that something had happened. Thus, without regarding the danger, he quickly flew forward.
Soon, Merlin's Maxim avatar reached the front line. He saw only the two Rock Tribe Progenitors and the Lord God of Light as well as Arcane Wizard Ceci and Arcane Wizard Augustus.
However, Arcane Wizard Augustus was being besieged by the two Rock Tribe Progenitors and the Lord God of Light, and Wizard Setoh was nowhere to be found.
"Arcane Wizard Ceci, where's Arcane Wizard Setoh? What happened?"
Merlin's Maxim avatar hurriedly asked Ceci beside him.
Ceci looked at Merlin. His gaze was full of coldness as he said heavily, "Setoh… was killed! The despicable Atlan civilization created a new powerful warship and used underhanded methods to kill Setoh!"
"He died?"
Merlin's expression went pale. Although his heart was already sure, he still found it difficult to accept the information. How could the great Ultimate Arcane Wizard die?
"The new warship the Atlan civilization created is likely a void-level warship! Augustus has already fought for a chance for us. Go, I'll take Arcane City and join the Giant Tribe with your real body!"
Despite Ceci's reluctance, he needed to leave now. Otherwise, Augustus' actions would have been meaningless.
"It's a void-level warship… Arcane Wizard Ceci, you don't have to leave the Spell Caster civilization. Our Spell Caster civilization isn't defeated yet! I hope for Arcane Wizard Ceci to come forward to help Wizard Augustus and hold back the three ultimate existences. My real body will be arriving soon."

Merlin suddenly opened his eyes, apparently having communicated with his real body. What he had just said were the words of his real body.
"Legend Glory, what's the use of your real body even if he comes back?"
Wizard Ceci was somewhat startled. The Spell Caster civilization was down one Ultimate Arcane Wizard while the Atlan civilization still had the mysterious void-level warship hidden in the dark. It was possible that another Ultimate Arcane Wizard might be killed at any time.
Therefore, even if Merlin could control minds, what was the use of being here? At present, there was no one in the front lines except ultimate existences.
"Soon, he's almost here. Arcane Wizard Ceci, listen to me and hold on for a while. Don't forget what we set out to do."
Merlin said lowly.
"You went to invite the Titan Giant of the Giant Clan. Did you…"
Ceci seemed to suddenly recall something. An incredulous look appeared in his eyes as well as… A glimmer of hope!
...
On the Slothful Beast's back, Merlin also opened his eyes. However, everyone could feel that the chilly aura on Merlin's body had become worse.
"Wizard Setoh is dead. He died to the Atlan civilization's void-level warship…"
Merlin looked at Roman, Flarite, and the others but did not tell them this news. A warship able to kill ultimate existences was much more threatening than the intervention of the God Alliance.
It was not that he did not believe in Flarite or Roman and the others but at this time, no accidents could be allowed, otherwise, the Spell Caster civilization would truly be in danger. Therefore, even if he was a little "selfish" in this matter, he could not tell the others this news.
Merlin would only reveal the news when they had arrived at the Spell Caster civilization and fought with the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization.
"According to the information given by my Maxim avatar, Wizard Augustus and Wizard Ceci are still struggling to support. However, it seemed that the enemy's void-level warship did not attack again. It might not be able to launch a second attack in a short period but it may not be the case in the long run."
Merlin's heart was burning but there was no other way. Currently, his strength was once again insufficient.
"Titus, can I fuse the Illusory World now?"
Merlin immediately thought of fusing the Illusory World. It was a huge leap from the Illusory Heart to the Illusory World, and the strength would also be very strong. An ordinary Lord would not be able to resist being enveloped by the Illusory World.
Furthermore, Titus also mentioned that if the Illusory World was perfected, it might be comparable to an ultimate existence. Even if it was not, it would still be able to affect ultimate existences.

Therefore, Merlin eagerly wanted to enhance his strength!
"Fuse the Illusory World now? Merlin, you just broke through the Illusory Heart realm. Fusing it now will be very difficult, and it's certainly not the best time…"
Titus had not even finished speaking when Merlin interrupted. His voice was cold as he said, "Even if it's difficult, I still have to try. What time is it now? At this critical moment where the Spell Caster civilization is facing life and death, even Arcane Wizard Setoh died, and Setoh Arcane City collapsed. When will there be a 'best time' now?"
Titus fell silent for a moment. He could feel Merlin's rage.
Arcane Wizard Setoh was a symbol of the Spell Caster civilization. He was an Ultimate Arcane Wizard! However, now, the symbol that was Arcane Wizard Setoh was dead. This was a huge blow to the entire Spell Caster civilization!
Therefore, at this time, as a member of the Spell Caster civilization, Merlin needed to speed up and make every effort to improve his strength. Otherwise, if the Spell Caster civilization was destroyed, it would be difficult to say whether Merlin's Mind Power realm could be further improved without the backing of a powerful civilization, much less reverse the natural order.
The demise of a civilization was deeply related to everyone in the civilization!
As if feeling Merlin's determination, Titus finally nodded after a long moment and said, "Alright, you can try to fuse the Illusory World now. I'll tell you the trick to forming the Illusory World. Of course, you don't need to form an Illusory World but instead fuse the Illusory World, and then perfect it. However, knowing the process of forming the Illusory World would also be helpful in your fusion."
Merlin only knew the general state of the Mind Power system. He might be able to superficially explore the method of forming the Illusory World but it would certainly not be as perfect as the trick that Titus had summarized over the years.
Therefore, with Titus' help, Merlin would be able to fuse the Illusory World faster.
Soon, with Titus' careful explanation, Merlin gradually learned the trick to forming the Illusory World. The Illusory World was just creating a mental subspace with Mind Power.
This mental subspace must be built on the foundation of a Mind Heart. That was because a Mind Heart was the symbol of a Mind Power Master, and was the source of power for a Mind Power Master.
After being enlightened on the Illusory Heart realm and becoming a Ninth-level Mind Power Master, the next step would be to establish a mental subspace in the Mind Heart.
This mental subspace would be the foundation of the Illusory World, and apply everything one saw and heard as well as one's understanding of the world into the mental subspace.
A Mind Power would be creating a world. It was a world, and not a dimension. The world could be understood like Aruba's Latitude Cosmos, which contained its own natural order.
In general, it was extremely difficult for a cultivation system contender to become an ultimate existence, let alone surpass or reverse the natural order. As for Mind Power Masters, as long as they started to form an Illusory World and reached the Tenth-level Mind Heart, they could even "make" a natural order themselves. Of course, this natural order would only be suitable for the Illusory World, and was imaginary.
However, even if it was imaginary, it was beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Not everyone would be able to experience a "created" natural order.
Of course, it was also very difficult to reach the point of forming an Illusory World. Even the present Merlin had not reached this point. Only Titus had created an Illusory World belonging to him. However, it had not been perfected in the end.
As long as there was a basic framework and the "natural order" of the Illusory World was created, this small mental subspace could be expanded using the Mind Power Master's Mind Power. It could be constantly expanded, and if the Mind Power Master had some enlightenment, the Illusory World could be expanded countless times. The Mind Power at this time would have a very strong impact.
If one day the Illusory World was perfected, then the entire Illusory World would be no different from the Latitude Cosmos except that it was made from Mind Power and was imaginary. At that point, even ultimate existences enveloped by the Illusory World would be affected.
As for how powerful it was, Titus was not clear either since he failed to perfect his Illusory World. He could only make predictions that it would be infinitely close or even comparable to ultimate existences.
According to Titus, the final step was to use Mind Power to change the imaginary into reality. The entire Illusory World would then become real, and this Illusory World would become a huge Latitude Cosmos.
Creating a Latitude Cosmos and reversing the natural order would not be a big deal because at that time, the Mind Power Master would have already created the natural order!
