With Sachy and Lulianmian, Green set out on his journey to the World Tree Base.

Leaving the Moonlake Holy Tower Base far behind, the sprawling remnants of mechanical flesh began to thin out, occasionally revealing patches of bare earth now dotted with craters. While these were not Stigma Craters, possessing destructive natural rules, neither could they easily regain their natural vitality.

"Proceed with caution ahead and try to suppress your presence."

Green advised Sachy and Lulianmian, who nodded grimly. Only Xiao Ba seemed indifferent, continuing to play with Leafy.

Here and there, teams of Wizards were on missions, flying low and fast close to the ground like Green, disappearing quickly into the distance. They made no unnecessary contacts, in a hurry, trying to minimize their time outside the base.

Several days later.

"These radiation beasts are quite interesting. I wonder what kind of powers the Swaying Soul Supreme Overlord of this world commands."

At this moment, in Green’s hand, an eerie creature composed of what seemed like countless hair roots struggled within a space cage. This furry mass, surviving by devouring radiation, was the lowest level of radiation creatures in this world, not yet evolved intelligence, fluttering with the wind like dandelions.

Unlike the Metal Destroyer Civilization.

The significance of the Wizarding Alliance’s formation lies in the alliance of the strong, realizing the Wizard World’s short-term surge in power, thereby achieving the dream of the Demon Hunting Expedition for which an internal power-respecting alliance organization was constructed.

Under the guise of protecting free development, the Skynet Metal Destroyer Civilization is an endless resource plunderer, inciting industrial efficiency seizure, emitting waste gases that harm the world’s essence, reducing the chances for World Masters and World Guardians to be born, potentially leading to complete extinction.

The strengths and weaknesses of both paths have no right or wrong, this is the road of civilization’s development!

For this reason, the Wizarding Alliance still maintains a massive number of Alien World Lords internally, leading legions from the rear of the world cluster to support further, whereas the side of the Metal Destroyer Legion consists solely of Void Legions roaming the Endless Void, contending with the Wizarding Alliance for dominion of this world cluster across various large, medium, and small worlds.

"The Dominator’s Power..."

Sachy sighed, his thoughts entirely consumed by the Road of Stigmata. If he couldn’t overcome his Heart Tribulation, he feared he would fall from the Soul Fire’s peak, entering the late stages of the Wizard’s journey.

...

A month later.

Two shadows interweaved across the ground, two rapidly fleeing Wizards, both at the third level, one transformed into the Element of Light, extremely fast, the other displaying Elemental Teleportation with Life Energy continuously.

However, as their escape speed exceeded the limit, their Magic Power consumption was severe, leaving them pale-faced and panting heavily, clearly at the brink of exhaustion.

Rumble...

The mechanical tail flame’s sound pierced the air, splitting elemental airflows, sending sound waves ripple in all directions. A Metal Terminator led over a hundred varied-level Metal Robots in pursuit, moving in perfect synchronization, their icy and merciless eyes revealing rows of streaming data in their low-level robot cameras.

Although the Metal Terminator’s liquid Immortal Body had been counteracted by the Wizard World using Negative Magnetic Pole Metal Powder, diminishing its original terrifying power, its reaction ability and attack power still far exceeded those of a typical Third-Level Great Sorcerer.

"Angelina, if we continue like this, neither of us will escape. I’ll hold them while you fly east. Head to the Life Tree Base and ensure the intelligence reaches there."

The Light Element Wizard, evidently faster, had been waiting for the Life Element Witch, and now he made his decision.

"No!"

The Witch screamed, but could only watch as a brilliant light burning its Soul Magic Power broke through the sky in another direction. No Metal Robots pursued her anymore.

...

Less than half of an hourglass later.

The quietly flying trio of Green, Night Shadow Sachy, and Raindrop Clone Lulianmian encountered a Magic Power-exhausted, fatigued Witch in agony. Green’s Truth Mask confirmed she was indeed a Human Wizard, prompting Sachy and Lulianmian to intercept her.

"Huh? Trouble ahead?"

Xiao Ba’s first reaction was to look at Green, who immediately employed the Eagle’s Eye to probe the distant region, finding nothing amiss.

"Honored Stigmata Sorcerer, please, save my partner! He led the enemies eastward alone to ensure my survival. His Magic Power is depleted. I beseech you, save him no matter what, I’m willing to offer everything, even my life!"

Tears streamed down the Witch’s face as she spoke with sobs, heartbroken and pleading, her body involuntarily spasming in pain from Magic Power exhaustion, yet seemingly unbothered.

This scene, while Green did not immediately respond, startled Sachy, who showed a complex face of deep-seated memory, recalling a moment he once experienced like this in his distant past...

"The strength of the enemies?"

Green’s voice was very calm, maintaining absolute rationality.

"A Metal Terminator and between one hundred and fifty to two hundred Metal Robots..."

With these words, the Witch collapsed from physical weakness, body convulsing painfully.

As Green pondered the risks and rewards in silence, Night Shadow Sachy suddenly spoke in earnest desperation, "Stigmata Sorcerer of the Oblivion Tower, I think I’ve realized my Heart Tribulation. I must try, no matter the outcome. If I fail..."

Green, Xiao Ba, Leafy, and Lulianmian looked at Sachy with surprise. Could it be that, once upon a time, his partner sacrificed her life and hope of survival for him?

Green’s expression shifted slightly. If it involved Sachy, then this affair couldn’t be ignored. Whether it was crossing the Heart Tribulation to let Sachy walk the Road of Stigmata, adding a Stigma Sorcerer to the Wizard World, or Sachy’s devoted service as Green’s trusted Wizard for so many years, Green could not stand idly by.

"Let’s go!"

Without delay, Green’s low shout placed the group within a space cage, akin to when Green and Peranos traveled to the Secluded Ground of Hexuota under the guidance of a Black Tower Stigma Sorcerer, traversing True Time.

The surroundings changed swiftly between intertwining scenes, as Sachy and Lulianmian stared in astonishment at the rapidly receding scenery.

Could this be the power of a Stigma Sorcerer?

Or is it the power of the Oblivion Tower Grimm himself?

Half an hourglass later.

Utilizing the Stigmata Power of Wind Sweeping Remnants to obliterate the Metal Robot squad, they rescued a Magic Power-exhausted, grateful male Wizard, barely clinging to life.

Under the watchful eyes of Green and Lulianmian, Night Shadow Sachy smiled easily, never before had this elder Wizard, perpetually wearing a black mask, smiled so genuinely, so sweetly.

"Master, I think... I am about to advance."

The previous moment’s words, now saw Sachy’s soul undergoing an astonishing transformation in Green’s eyes—this was the shift from Wizard Soul to Saint Trace Soul!
