"Master?"
The sphinx guardian seemed to be lost in his memories. A long time had passed before he slowly replied, "Master calls himself Aruba. It seems that he came here a long time ago. When I was born, there were still no Spell Casters. The entire dimension was very savage. I don't know the reason but Master stayed in this dimension for a long time until three thousand years. He always said that he was unsatisfied, and finally left, leaving us to defend this place."
Merlin looked at the sphinx guardian's memories. The word "Aruba" was quite extraordinary in the Molta language, meaning "origin" or "beginning".
What surprised Merlin even more was that there was someone already here when the Glorious Land was still an uncivilized territory. There would be tens of thousands of years ago or even longer.
Thinking about the large stone carvings from before, Merlin asked, "Were those stone carvings carved by Aruba?"
"Yes, Master made those stone carvings when he was bored. Back then, he seemed to pay close attention to you Spell Casters."
Merlin fell silent as he digested what the sphinx guard had said. It was truly shocking and incredible. If what he said was true, then Aruba was extremely terrifying. He had witnessed the development of the Glorious Land as well as the rise of Spell Casters.
"He left three thousand years ago. Wasn't that when the Molta Empire collapsed?"
The sphinx only knew about these things. He seemed to have been given "life" by Aruba. He did not have Elemental fluctuations, and could not cast any spells. He did not have divine energy fluctuations either, which excluded the possibility of him being a Spell Caster or a god.
Aruba was full of secrets. Merlin hated that he could not reveal the truth immediately.
"Merlin, before Master left, he said that he left some things in the Mobata world. As long as someone defeats me, they can choose to enter the Mobata world. However, the Mobata world is beyond my control. I don't even know how to get in or out, so it's very dangerous. Master said that you're free to choose to enter or not. If you don't enter, you can leave. Of course, you won't get any treasures."
Merlin smiled wryly."If I don't enter, then what was the point of defeating you?"
"Alright, I'll lead you!"
The sphinx guardian seemed to have guessed Merlin's choice, and immediately took Merlin to another passage with a stone gate.
"Rumble."
The stone gate immediately opened, and this time, Merlin felt a more intense Dimension Origin force. His heart also felt excited. It seemed that this Dimension Origin was on the other side of the passage. Otherwise, there would not be such a strong force.
After walking for half an hour, Merlin saw a huge light gate. Around the light gate was a vast, powerful, and familiar life force. It was the Dimension Origin that Merlin yearned for even in his dreams. As long as he controlled it, he could control the entire Glorious Land.
Merlin's Mind Power quickly spread out and approached the Dimension Origin.
"Boom."
However, just as Merlin contacted it, he felt a hot force like a burning flame. Even Merlin's Mind Power started to burn.
"Oh no, Merlin. Cut off this Mind Power immediately!"
Titus suddenly emerged from the Illusory World and exclaimed.
Merlin immediately cut off the Mind Power, and his Mind Power world instantly shook. This was equivalent to him personally abandoning a portion of his Mind Power, and deeply hurt Merlin.
"What was that power? It can burn and attack the illusory Mind Power?"
This was the first time Merlin had encountered something that could cause damage to his illusory Mind Power. He used to be successful as long as he used the formless Mind Power but this time, he suffered a great loss. A part of Mind Power that he painstakingly cultivated was lost just like that.
"So, your goal was the Dimension Origin. Don't waste your efforts. This Dimension Origin had long been used by Master to connect the Mobata world and the Glorious Land. There's also the power left behind by Master. Even the unsurpassed Arcane Wizards among you Spell Casters won't be able to do anything, much less you."
The sphinx guardian laughed when he saw Merlin dare to touch the Dimension Origin. He knew the strength of his master, Aruba.
"Even Arcane Wizards who came before couldn't do anything?"
Merlin was in disbelief. In the entire Void Zone, Arcane Wizards were the ultimate existences. Apart from the unique creature that was born in the Void Zone, the Slothful Beast, what was more powerful than an ultimate existence?
Even the Slothful Beast did not exceed the category of ultimate existences.
However, now, Arcane Wizards could not control a mere Dimension Origin. Merlin found that difficult to believe.
As if seeing Merlin's thoughts, the sphinx guardian did not continue to argue about this issue, and instead pointed to the huge light gate of the Dimension Origin and said, "You'll reach the Mobata world that Master had created through this gate. Think carefully."
"The Mobata world..."
Merlin closed his eyes. He suddenly recalled the Molta Empire. In the Molta language, "Molta" meant "perfect" or "perfection".
However, in the Molta language, Mobata meant "defect", "imperfection" or "regret".
Was there any connection?
Merlin did not know but he wanted to enter and see what this world created by Aruba was like, especially the things that he left in the Mobata world. Merlin wanted to obtain those things.
"Say no more. I've already thought it over!"
Merlin took a deep breath, and looked at the Dimension Origin. He did not dare to try using his Mind Power to control the Dimension Origin again. Therefore, his figure flashed, and he stepped into the large light gate.
"Hum."
Like ripples, Merlin felt an irresistible force that viciously pulled him to the other side of the gate. Then, his figure disappeared from the light gate.
"He went in. I hope you can return..."
The sphinx guardian looked at the light gate deeply before returning to the stone room and turning into a sphinx statue. No one knew how long it would be until it woke again.
...
"Whoosh."
At the edge of a small river, a black hole appeared, causing a whirlwind. Then, a figure was flung out of the black hole.
"Splash."
The figure fell into the stream, covered in stones, completely soaked.
"Is this the Mobata world?"
The strange figure in the stream did not seem to care that he was sopping wet at all. He held out his hand, and his figure slowly rose to the air, and then fell back onto the riverbank.
This person was Merlin, who had just exited the light gate. He looked down at his soaked body, and a flame appeared.
Immediately, the hot temperature instantly evaporated the water, and the robe was dry.
"No Elements."
Merlin frowned. While he was familiarizing himself with this strange world, he realized that there were no Elements.
Fortunately, Merlin still had a large number of elemental crystal stones. There were unimaginable numbers of elemental crystal stones, especially in the warship. Besides, with Merlin's strength, he could still cast Hallucinating spells against an enemy even in a place without Elements. There was no need to consume Elements at all.
Spell Casters relied heavily on Elements but when they formed Maxims and became Great Legends, then Elements would no longer be essential. Great Legends could completely rely on their Maxims to fight against enemies. Besides, even if the Maxims were worn out, they could slowly recover. There was no need for Elements at all.
Therefore, Great Legends were claimed to be comparable to gods. As long as they were responsible and did not cause destruction, Great Legends were immortal. This was similar to gods where the most important thing to them was their divinity.
"Crack."
Merlin flicked his finger, and terrifying power immediately erupted from his multi-colored Wizard Heart. However, it was amazing that the space here was incredibly solid. Merlin could not break it even when attacking with all his strength.
After all, Merlin was now second only to Honored Legends. He was not below Legend Zado but he could not even break a bit of space. Although he could shake the space a little by attacking at full power, only Honored Legends who had formed an ultimate Maxim would be able to break the space at once.
"The space here is very solid. The person who created this world, Aruba, really is a mysterious existence!"
Merlin also felt somewhat regretful. Who knew how much effort was spent to make the space so stable.
Since he could not break the space, he could not travel via subspace, and could only slowly fly.
Thus, he slowly flew in the sky, and his Mind Power spread out to the surroundings. With Merlin's current Mind Power, it was easy to shroud a large city.
This mountain forest looked vast and boundless but under Merlin's Mind Power, it was completely clear. Through continuous exploration, Merlin had discovered some oddities.
The wild beasts in the mountain forest were especially strong. Their strength and speed were outrageous. Perhaps the reason why was because there were no Elements and could not cast Spells, so their bodies had to be more powerful.
Merlin spread his Mind Power to the extreme but was disappointed. He had not found the end yet. There seemed to be no end to the mountain forest.
"Hm? What a powerful life force!"
Merlin's Mind Power probed freely when he suddenly seemed to have detected a surging vitality that was as vigorous as fire somewhere in the mountain forest.
"Boom."
The surging vitality seemed to have sensed Merlin's probing. Then, the fierce life force immediately erupted, and a formless gaze quickly locked on Merlin.
"Interesting. It seems to be a powerful living creature of this world. Let's see how strong it is."
Merlin was not afraid but rejoiced instead. He swiftly flew in the direction of the strong force.
