After deceiving the Crown Princess into joining them, Fang Xingjian and Ulpian headed off to find their next target.
"Silver Mage King?" Fang Xingjian asked, "Is he up to it?"
Ulpian said, "The Silver Demonic God's strategy has always been to break the bigger structure from a small point. Rather than waste a tremendous amount of resources on influence, it's better to create a top-notch character to guide the flow of the entire world's revolution.
"Therefore, every person who is favored by the Silver Demonic God won't be too weak. It's the same for this world's Silver Mage King. He has reached tier six of the Divine level and can clear the trial together with me to reach tier seven of the Divine level before our next attempt."
At the next moment, the two of them arrived in the sky above a tribe in the northern ice plains.
This was the biggest tribe amongst the northern barbarians and was where the Frostwolf Tribe was located.
However, right now, several hundred people wearing white robes—both men and women— surrounded the Frostwolf Tribe. The people emitted the thick aura of a demonic god. It was White's aura.
Clearly, these people were from the Church of Universal Truth.
They had the Frostwolf Tribe surrounded was because the Frostwolf Tribe was currently the only influence across the entire frozen desolate land in the north that did not acknowledge the Church as their ruler. Only the Frostwolf Tribe had yet to convert to believing in the God of Universal Truth.
This group of people from the Church was clearly here to force the Frostwolf Tribe into submission.
Fang Xingjian looked at the two teams who were engaged in a confrontation and said, "He's backing up this tribe?"
"It's not really back up, " Ulpian said."You might not understand the situation in the northern desolate land. Due to the abominable natural environment, food is scarce and resources are lacking. Therefore, since ancient times, the bigger tribes have always implemented the rule of the survival of the fittest.
"The strong live, and the weak die. Even if they are siblings or parent and child, they will be eliminated if they aren't strong enough.
"Only the strongest warrior will be able to live to the very end. Ordinary virtues and morals aren't suitable to be used here. Over the thousands or ten thousand years, this place has always had a slavery system. The members of defeated tribes become the private possession of the victors.
"Therefore, on this frozen land, the lives of the people are extremely harsh. Other than a minority of people on the upper echelon, most people live in misery and suffering.
Hearing Ulpian's words, Fang Xingjian immediately recalled the Silver Army's concept in the world with rings. Fang Xingjian started to understand this a little.
"The Silver Mage King wants to change the situation here? He wants to save those people?"
Ulpian nodded "Salvation from tragedy is his justice."
As the two of them spoke, the two teams of people on the ground had already engaged each other. There were clearly Divine level experts from both the Church and the Frostwolf Tribe. Both side's martial will collided and created explosions that blasted large areas of snow to create snowflakes in the air as well as aerial explosions.
A silver-haired young man stood at the front of the Frostwolf Tribe. Streams of silver light soared into the sky, and he managed to single-handedly fend off 99% of the powers coming from the people from the Church.
The three bishops in the lead took a step forward concurrently, and a brilliant white glow flashed, colliding fiercely with the silver-haired young man's martial will. It immediately caused the entire world to tremble.
These three bishops had merely been Demigod-level existences before the world's metamorphosis. However, ever since the world's metamorphosis took place, they improved by leaps and bounds, and now all of them had reached tier three of the Divine level. At this moment, the three of them were attacking concurrently with a great force that seemed to shatter the entire world.
Despite this, they were still unable to deal with the silver-haired young man.
Just as both sides were going to engage in battle, the entire battlefield was suddenly taken over by two colors—black and white. All martial will, experts, air, and light had sunk into a motionless state.
"Time stop?" Standing outside the perimeters of the black and white, Fang Xingjian raised his brows. His high-dimensional sensory abilities allowed him to understand the principles behind the phenomenon occurring right before him."It's some kind of matter stagnation field. It stopped the movements of all atoms. A divine art? Or is it a martial technique?"
Simultaneously, a silver-haired middle-aged man slowly appeared from void space and walked toward the people from the Church of Universal Truth.
Within the area where time had come to a standstill, everything was in white and black. Only the things on the silver-haired man continue to remain lively like he was the only living creature amidst the dead silence.
Strolling in the quiet domain, as the silver-haired man passed by each member from the Church, they would instantly disappeared into void space as if having never appeared before.
Fang Xingjian was able to sense that they had been sent to some other space using Spatial Translocation.
Within a short moment, the people from the Church had all disappeared without a trace. Matter started moving once again, and when the silver-haired young man saw this scene, he called out, "Master!"
The Frostwolf Tribe members behind him also dropped to their knees.
The silver-haired middle-aged man paid them no need and soared into the sky, disappearing from their vision. At the same time, he appeared before Fang Xingjian and Ulpian.
Clearly, this silver-haired middle-aged man was the Silver Mage King from the Mage Association. He was also the target that Ulpian and Fang Xingjian were looking for this time around.
The Silver Mage King appeared before the duo, but his gaze was fixed on Fang Xingjian.
As the one who was possibly the strongest Mage King in the Mage Association, the Silver Mage King's life could be said to be legendary yet arduous.
In fact, before he turned 30 years old, he had been living in the frozen and barren land in the north as a slave.
During those 30 years, the world presented to him an extremely brutal reality. He lost his lover, his best friend, his parents, and even hope.
At 30 years of age, his countenance had appeared haggard and his heart had seemed dead. Regardless of whether it was his limbs, heart, lungs, or brain, they had all suffered permanent damage during those 30 years.
It was the first time in his life that he had felt despair.
However, it was at this moment that he—who had plunged to the deepest level of hell—was saved.
The previous generation's Silver Mage King saved him and taught him martial arts and divine arts, allowing him to become a Silver Mage. He obtained great power that ordinary people would find hard to imagine.
After crawling out from the lowest level of hell, he did not sink into wanting to seek revenge. Instead, he learned to save others.
In the next ten years, he saved countless people, families, and countries. He saw many moments of tragedy, happiness, and despair.
However, regardless of how hard he tried, he was unable to save everyone.
Vengeance and conflict seemed to form an endless rhythm in this world. Even if he used all he had, he could not stop people from harming each other.
From that instant, he understood one concept. Salvation alone was unable to prevent the next tragedy from occurring. The entire northern barren land, and even Miracle World, needed a complete and thorough revolution. He wanted to change the way people tried to survive and obtain benefits through conflict, oppression, and exploitation.
However, the Silver Mage King was once again stumped over the method he should use to change this world.
He could use violence to rule a country, but he would not be able to govern this country well. It was because even the youngest child of the herdsmen would know how to snatch another person's bread.
Therefore, he made use of some smaller-scale tribes, cities, and towns to test out his idea.
However, the many experiments made him feel increasingly hopeless about mankind. No matter how hard he tried, people would always be greedy and cruel. They would never be satisfied and would forever chase after their endless desires. No matter what system was implemented, there would always be a day when the system would break down.
He experimented over and over again over several decades. There was even a time when he felt that he held no hope for mankind.
This was the second time he felt despair in his life. It was also during this time when he met a woman by the name of Fang Yueru.
