Chapter 725 - Blade Emperor (1/2)
”The reason we're setting up the alliance is to take back our lost freedom. Freedom flows in the blood of every wanderer. All of us have freedom imprinted within our very souls! The stronger the abilities of a wanderer, the more he longs to freely wander across the various dimensions. The stronger the wanderer, the more he hopes to understand the secrets surrounding the laws of the universe!” The Starry Sky Castle Master Cameron continued after a pause, ”In order to boost our strength, in order to one day achieve our common goal, we hope that every powerful wanderer can band together and be united!”
”Oh, to think that there might exist such a powerful alliance. I hope that you'll achieve your goals one day!” Yang Ling smiled slightly. He understood the intentions of the Starry Sky Castle Master even without him having to elaborate. He said after a pause, ”However, my life is carefree now. I do not feel deprived of my freedom and thus am not interested in joining your alliance. I'm sorry!”
The almighty Creator was the ultimate enemy of the Ancient Wizards according to the information he'd grasped. Yang Ling would naturally wish to face off against the Creator, who had abilities that were deep beyond comprehension, together with the Wanderer Alliance. However, as a precaution, he would not make a decision rashly.
He took a step back as a means of advancement!
Yang Ling had quickly come to a decision without having to think too much about it. If the Starry Sky Castle Master was sincere in his invitation for him to join the Wanderer Alliance, he would naturally produce an even greater incentive and further explain the situation to him. Otherwise, if he was forced to join the group, he might be sent to the front lines as a target or cannon fodder!
”Another Dimensional Wanderer might not be too interested in joining our alliance, but…” The Starry Sky Castle Master smiled with confidence. He shot a meaningful look at Yang Ling and Grand Wizard Houtu behind him, then continued, ”A long long time ago, there was a saying in the various large dimensions. There are only Wizards who died in battle, not Wizards who surrendered. If you had chosen to surrender, the Ancient Wizards would have accepted the invitation of the Creator, and there would never have been a Great Battle of the Deities and Demons!”
There are only Wizards who died in battle, not Wizards who surrendered?
Yang Ling was alarmed. He looked at the Starry Sky Castle Master Cameron, whose words seemed to have a double meaning. He had mentioned the Ancient Wizards multiple times. It was obvious that he already knew of his identity. More importantly, it seemed as though he knew many things about the Ancient Wizards. Yang Ling might be able to obtain many pieces of insider information if he could find a way to get in Cameron's good books.
”We can choose to cooperate if it is inconvenient for you to join the Wanderer Alliance. We can support each other in terms of information and resources. This way, we would both benefit!” The Starry Sky Castle Master Cameron deliberated for a moment when he saw that Yang Ling was a little hesitant, then offered an alternative.
He knew that a rare opportunity had presented itself before him once he realized Yang Ling's true identity. He could only reclaim his lost freedom and accomplish the million-year-old wishes of the Alliance if he joined forces with the unfathomable Ancient Wizards, who had been said to have severely injured the Creator so long ago!
”All right. It is my honor to have met you, Lord Cameron!” Yang Ling smiled, no longer hesitant.
The search for Skyreach Towers, the destruction of the City Amongst the Clouds, and the fight against the almighty Creator required a robust set of information. The Magical Beast Divine Branch was still lacking in that area. The Wanderer Alliance, on the other hand, had been resisting the Creator in the shadows for a long time and had to have a great web of intelligence! It would be immensely beneficial for Yang Ling to cooperate with them.
They reached an agreement instantly!
…
Yang Ling followed the Starry Sky Castle Master to a mountain at the back of the Starry Sky Castle after they reached the agreement. They sat down in a secluded spot and discussed the details of the partnership. They talked about everything after they ate their fill, and soon, they became well acquainted with one another.
As it turned out, the Starry Sky Castle Master Cameron had reached the level of Dimensional Wanderer a long time ago and had set up a Wanderer Battle Squad with a gang of buddies. They fought together in battle, traversed the dimensions, and had freely learned about the mysterious laws of the universe.
One day, an accident had happened while Cameron and his squad were about to explore the deeper regions of the Unending Sea. A few envoys of the Creator had led a group of elites to launch a surprise attack on them. They unleashed a merciless massacre. Caught off guard, Cameron and his group suffered heavy casualties. After an intense battle, Cameron was fortunate enough to avert the crisis with the help of his captain's protection and overwhelming speed. However, the friends who had gone through thick and thin with him had all died in a pool of blood.
”I only realized later that the almighty Creator was the mastermind behind the incident!” The Starry Sky Castle Master Cameron had a cold expression. He said slowly, ”Thus, I joined an alliance made up of a bunch of top-notch Dimensional Wanderers without hesitation. It was many years later that I slowly became one of the nine Great Elders of the Alliance!”
