CHAPTER 474: CHAPTER 401: PREY CAUGHT IN THE SPIDER’S WEB (4K)_2

He is the most orthodox successor of the Truth Council.

Therefore, he has always treated dealing with the Titan Divine Race as his lifelong mission, continuously striving towards this goal.

That he could ascend to immortality did not surprise Ivis.

But the timing was wrong. If he ascended in ten or twenty thousand years, Ivis could understand, but the Fire Wizard had only reached the peak of the Holy Spirit a hundred years ago.

Having become the thirteenth Supreme Wizard of the Truth Council, it made no sense for him to break through so quickly; there was only one possibility.

"You exhausted your potential to reach this step prematurely?"

"But by doing this, there will be no more advancement for you in the future, you might even forfeit your life... all for just a Half-step Immortal, you can never achieve eternity."

"I know."

The Fire Wizard looked up at the stars in the night sky above the Tree Sea Fortress.

"Even if it’s just for that fleeting moment of brilliance, I will spare no effort to go for it without hesitation."

"There must be something in life that exemplifies the value of existence."

"I am merely one of the dream pursuers."

"Now that you have attained immortality, if I die in this battle, please look after the Truth Council for a while. If the Abnormal Blood Saint also dies, then you may leave."

Ivis fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Indeed, he was the God of Knowledge from the ancient Padolon era and had already proven his immortality, though he never showed it.

He never told anyone his purpose, hiding among the wizards while waiting for the person he had encountered back then who traversed through history.

He has now found that person, and all he is missing is the precursor to his mysterious plan.

Just as the Fire Wizard was about to say something, a wobbly shadow appeared in the sky.

"Thea is here."

"For her father."

Lin Suo’s Eagle of Time had brought not only the Black Emperor but also caused a great stir within the Truth Council, for the proactive invasion by the Titan Divine Race sent a terribly ominous signal.

Now the Wizard World is lacking an immortal to hold its ground.

In a head-on clash of raw power, they would certainly not match the Titan Divine Race, and if the enemy has found a way to temporarily escape the constraints of the World Tree, or if the World Tree’s domain has unknowingly expanded to the Corona Star System.

Then a second battle between the wizards and the Titans will be utterly inevitable.

This hangs over everyone’s head as a Sword of Damocles, a danger signal that is enough to trigger the nerves of every powerful wizard.

Because of her dual existence intertwined with Xi.

During this time, Thea was also affected to some extent because the Fire Wizard had forcibly awakened Xi’s bloodline memories, which is the fundamental reason for her recent abnormalities.

The recurring memories of the former World Tree being destroyed in her mind is akin to continuously watching oneself being slashed by a thousand cuts, one can imagine the tremendous pressure she is facing.

Now that Lin Suo has been captured by the Titans.

It is within reason for Thea to come to the Tree Sea Fortress seeking help out of desperation, and perhaps the Fire Wizard has a way to help her, considering Xi’s relationship.

Little did she know, this was part of their scheme.

Thea’s true identity had already been discovered by the two, which is why they never opposed Thea and Xi spending time together.

As a key to the Divine Twilight.

Both are indispensable.

Both voluntary and involuntary emotions could affect the success rate of the plan, so it would be fitting to give it a push along with the current.

"Lord Fire Wizard!"

Thea stumbled and fell onto the ground.

"Please save my father."

The once lively and cheerful girl was now utterly disoriented. Lin Suo had always portrayed an invincible image, which is why the forces established by Lin Suo, including Thea, had never envisioned an insurmountable problem.

But... it happened.

Before she could explain the situation, Thea caught sight of Xi’s bizarre state, her shocked expression undisguised.

However, the Fire Wizard waved his hand and pointed at Xi, saying,

"I already know what happened, this is the solution."

"The Titans’ aggression is not just your father’s issue; it concerns the survival of the Wizard World. Even if you did not come, I would have intervened."

"Then... what is this?"

"Method."

Fire approached Thea, extending his right hand.

"Xi needs your help. Only by relying on your power, can I be sure of defeating Titan God King Uranos..."

"I understand."

Thea’s expression turned resolute in an instant, and she decisively joined Fire Wizard’s plan.

Ivis, who had been watching from the sidelines, didn’t say a word throughout. He always felt that Padolon’s dual-world World Tree was somewhat special and that something unexpected might occur.

His plan was being carried out without the knowledge of the Supreme Council.

At this moment.

The information brought by Golden Son, Aslan, triggered a heated debate among the Supremes, and regardless of faction, they all united at this moment.

The only contention was whether to risk venturing to the depths of the Pantheon to rescue Lin Suo.

Golden Chairman took the initiative to speak up.

"I think we must rescue. The information brought by Rhein is critical; he is also a meritorious contributor to the Truth Council and has made indelible contributions."

"For the long-term perspective, we must rescue."

Sun King, however, had a different opinion.

"We can’t rescue. The number of powerful wizards is limited, Abnormal Blood Saint hasn’t shown up yet, and it’s already very difficult for us to confront Titan God King Uranos."

"If we further divide our forces, there’s no need to continue fighting, we might as well surrender and face the executioner."

Golden Dragon King Sword of Justice also spoke.

"Sun King is right. Moreover, shouldn’t Duke Rhein be reflecting behind the walls of the Forbidden Magic Tower? Who gave him permission to leave and who will be responsible for the rescue?"

This one was quite sarcastic.

Both overtly and covertly, they were accusing the Golden Lineage of abusing power, otherwise, such a situation would not have occurred. Nobody wanted to face the Titan just yet.

The question was, did the Titan Divine Race of the Pantheon really find a way to break free from the restrictions of the World Tree?

That was an unknown, and unclear to anyone.

Eternal Frost, perhaps due to the new royal family of Ice Plateau Lineage, actually spoke in favor of Lin Suo.

"Catherine is a student of Duke Rhein, and Duke Rhein himself has created the Electromagnetic System witchcraft and a great number of emerging technologies. He’s also the first wizard to refine the Titan Bloodline."

"Their reason for capturing him should be for this."

"Whether it is for Rhein’s personal potential or the knowledge he possesses, I believe we must rescue him."

Everyone held different views; some said to rescue, others said not to. Each had their reasons, and the final decision on what to weigh fell to the Golden Chairman, to be confirmed by a vote.

Just as he was about to propose a solution.

The person in charge of the Titan Research Institute, the Thousand Island Controller, spoke sardonically.

"What rescue? Rhein doesn’t have the heart of a wizard. The Titan Research Institute has approached him several times, and he has refused to divulge the method of refining the Titan Bloodline."

"He even beat up the person and left them drifting in the desolate vacuum of space. Now that he’s been captured, it would have been better to hand over the technology earlier. The Titans sealed in the Titan Tomb are almost at the end of their lifespans.

Once they die completely, we’ll have to look for living Titans in the Pantheon to extract the Titan Bloodline."

The Titan Tomb contained Titans who were turned into vegetative states by the Wizards, every one of them was research material.

The words of the Thousand Island Controller made the Golden Chairman swallow back the plan he was about to propose, defining directly.

"Then we won’t rescue. The Truth Council will now enter the highest alert state, double the manpower at the borders, and execute a comprehensive wartime ban."

That was what was said, but after the meeting ended.

Golden Chairman privately found Golden Son, Aslan, and gave him a token that could mobilize the power of the Golden Lineage, entrusting him with the task of rescuing Lin Suo.

Judging by strength alone, one Aslan Sara was surely not enough; more help would be needed.

This responsibility was substantial and difficult for Aslan.

When the perspective shifted to Lin Suo at the center of the storm, he was lying on a canoe, with a large number of web-like patterns on his skin.

Net of Destiny, used as a one-time consumable that lasted for a hundred years, was not a conventional restraint but rather a conceptual one in terms of rules.

As a result, Lin Suo was as powerless as a Muggle, unable to lift his hands or bear weight on his shoulders.

Yet his mood was rather relaxed after a long absence.

Because... he had discovered the intentions of Angel King Metatron, which suddenly gave him a lot of room to maneuver.
