The connection between the Great Origin and the life of its world is extremely close.
Under normal circumstances, the Great Origin is formless and intangible, only silently improving as life proliferates and grows.
Many worlds even perish without their Great Origin ever reaching a level where it could express independent consciousness.
Most of the time, the Great Origin of a lower-tier world is akin to a plant, lacking sufficient responsiveness.
However, the Great Origin is of paramount importance. This is why Chen Luo never abandoned his mother world, choosing instead to have the people he cared about exiled into the void.
One of the fundamental reasons is that if the Great Origin perishes, all life nurtured by that Great Origin world will die simultaneously!
Whether it be the weak yet numerous common folk, or the rare Saints who have reached the pinnacle of life's evolution, their fate is sealed, with no exception but death.
Even Chen Luo, who has now stepped into the True Transformation realm, further consolidating and condensing his life and self, and is already subtly separated from his mother world, would be severely wounded, or even find his path to advancement forever blocked, if the Great Origin of his mother world were to perish!
Yet, this Irina from the "Wizard World," after her own mother world was confirmed to be destroyed, was still alive and well.
According to the description in [Status], she would even be completely assimilated by this world later, and her belonging world would completely change!
Chen Luo, still unaware that the Wizard World had been completely devoured by the Nine Heavens and Nine Lands, was lost in various conjectures.
But perhaps Chen Luo's gaze was too piercing, making the girl feel as if she were naked and seen through. Irina, who had been leaning against the cage with a blank expression, couldn't help but scold:
"What are you looking at! Invader! Haven't you seen a noble wizard from the Wizard World before?!"
Although also a prisoner, Irina could not muster any good feelings towards these invaders.
As a transcendent mage, she had been in the wizard tower the entire time, cooperating with the Tower Master to fight those monsters!
It was also after the battle, as a captive, that she watched those monsters plunder the entire Wizard World at will.
However, the girl's words piqued Chen Luo's interest. Make no mistake, Chen Luo wasn't...
Gazing at the blonde girl he couldn't communicate with, Chen Luo casually opened the cage door and walked out under Irina's stunned gaze.
Chen Luo casually picked up a stick and said to the stunned Irina, "I prefer to reason. Do you want to eat a stick or answer questions?!"
As he threatened her, Chen Luo lightly swung the wooden stick in his hand, but the piercing sound of it cutting through the air was enough to make Irina, whose power had been suppressed to mortal levels, turn pale.
However, realizing her fear, Irina felt an irrepressible shame and anger surge within her. Her fair face immediately turned crimson, and she furiously cursed Chen Luo:
"Despicable invader! You weren't actually being auctioned, were you?! Tell me, did you deliberately approach me?!"
"That's right! That woman said I was a genius, how could she bear to auction me off! Did you collude to trick me into joining your faction!"
"And you, you started by saying I looked peculiar, were you trying to deliberately attract my attention?!"
Chen Luo looked at the Western-style wizard girl with a face full of question marks. Your punch, your self-awareness is a bit excessive!
Chen Luo sighed and threw the stick aside. It wasn't that he didn't want to hit her, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his strength and would turn both the person and the stick into dust.
But seeing Chen Luo drop the weapon, Irina seemed to have her suspicions confirmed, and her arrogance grew a notch:
"Ha! I knew it! You trash were just eyeing me!"
"Heh! Give up! If you hadn't used some strange methods to restrain me, the great wizard Irina would only need one look to make your life worse than death!"
"But wait for me! As long as I'm alive, when I find an opportunity! I will definitely kill you to avenge myself!!!"
Looking at the woman whose mind seemed to have gone haywire, Chen Luo suddenly felt like fighting someone!!!
Or perhaps someone could remove her immortal dao seal, allowing him to slap her a few times! At least at the first-tier Purgatory level, it would be easier for him to control his strength without killing her!
After a moment of thought, Chen Luo sighed heavily and moved his hand to his mask:
"I really don't want to use this method..."
Seeing Chen Luo say that, Irina's heart tightened:
"What?! Finally can't resist and want to use violence?!"
"Heh! Go ahead, as a genius of the Nargoth Wizard family, I, Irina, will not yield..."
"Ah.... you...?!"
Looking at Chen Luo, who had completely removed his mask, Irina felt as if a beam of moonlight had shone into her heart.
As a renowned genius of the Wizard World, Irina had always believed that her past two hundred years of pursuing wizardly power were fulfilling and meaningful.
If not for the invasion of these powerful invaders, Irina believed she would have used the rest of her life to explore the endless path of a wizard.
As for romantic love, in Irina's eyes, it was merely a low-level behavior driven by instinct in inferior beings.
But at this moment, gazing at the handsome and refined young man before her, Irina knew she was wrong.
Only by gazing into the boy's eyes, which seemed to contain fragments of the galaxy, did Irina feel that she was truly alive.
Chen Luo looked speechlessly at the blonde girl who was now drooling and babbling, feeling fortunate that he had restrained himself from hitting her earlier.
This immortal dao suppression was quite potent; this woman's resistance was indeed as weak as a mortal's.
Chen Luo returned to the golden cage specially crafted for him by Gong Xiaoyan, closed the door casually, and sat cross-legged on the cold jade treasured by the Palace Master. He asked the entranced girl:
"Alright, stop babbling. Tell me about the so-called invasion, and what happened between the Wizard World and the Nine Heavens and Nine Lands!"
