Overall, both sides have their share of victories and defeats. Compared to the scale of both factions, these casualties are insignificant. Yet the Nightmare Will may feel no pain for its people, but Nora cannot ignore the vivid lives lost.
The Supreme Council pushes forward the Dream Wall project with all its might, relying on official coordination to devote more manpower, material, and financial resources. The Aether Stone consumption, each year reaching trillions, is more terrifying than the costs when Levi ascended to legendary.
The official battle groups rush to major battlefields twenty-four hours a day, rescuing afflicted groups at the first moment, and sometimes the Emperor appears on the scene personally.
This lets Nora Citizens witness the attitude of those at the top.
Thus, the vast majority fully support the official work.
Civil war inevitably means deaths and sacrifices.
With the School of Death growing stronger, and the Underworld’s covert support, the wizard groups possessing Heroic Spirit Hall multiply. The authorities strive to ensure those who die for civilization and make contributions become heroic spirits, supporting their subsequent cultivation.
Their families benefit as well.
Under these measures, the will of Nora Citizens to resist has not diminished due to sacrifice—instead, their resolve grows higher, and the front lines see endless volunteers.
...
Time flies, twenty years pass.
Nora Calendar 3350.
Ancient Dragon Continent.
As the sacred land of the Mechanical School and a highly developed region for the School of Dreams, relying on a powerful defense system, casualties have remained low here throughout the war.
Whenever Nightmare Creatures emerge, they are quickly exterminated.
On this day.
The Golden Lion Knight and Divine Light Knight couple return from the battlefield.
Their most outstanding daughter, Peacock Knight Raya, is undergoing tribulation.
High in the sky.
A giant bird, like a phoenix, lets out a triumphant cry, breaking open the gates of Undying Heaven.
"Wonderful, Raya has reached level 9."
The couple look at her with comfort in their eyes.
The Golden Lion Knight holds Raya, saying:
"Now you can fight shoulder to shoulder with us."
The Divine Light Knight says:
"Consolidate your cultivation first, then the three of us will head to the battlefield together."
Three months later.
Fire Dragon Knight Mansion.
Howling black wind and blazing fire sweep forth, then transform into a wind and fire divine dragon ninety thousand meters long, coiling through sky and earth, an awe-inspiring sight!
"After two thousand years, I have returned to the Great Wizard Realm. Though this life practices dual cultivation, my cultivation speed surpasses my previous life’s single path."
The Wind and Fire Dragon Witch sighed.
In this grand era, seizing opportunity allows one to soar; it isn’t difficult, for it is a fortune opened by Sauron, co-created by Emmon, Levi, and others!
It benefits all Nora life!
True, part is the era.
The greater reason is that he is Legendary Reincarnation, well prepared; unlike his first life, forging the path from nothing, cultivation now is much faster.
"My efforts these years are not merely for this."
After some rest, a month later.
Lei Long becomes a giant beast, similar in form to his wizard forms—a wind and fire divine dragon. He has deer antlers and eagle eyes, his body like a serpent, five strong claws, a dragon’s tail resembling a fish.
Supreme Bloodline · Dragon God!
The Dragon God roars to the heavens, with unstoppable momentum, charges into the Level 9 Catastrophe, flying toward Destruction Heaven, making heaven and earth change color.
Compared to the other eighteen riders,
Lei Long’s tribulation process is much smoother.
Legendary experience is a boon for every profession’s cultivation.
Spirit and body are two paths, yet the strength of one benefits the other—they are not completely severed.
On the plaza within Destruction Heaven, divine palaces stand tall; before each, statues represent different symbols—the center, most imposing, is the Crimson Emperor Dragon.
It is the master of Destruction Heaven.
Surrounding it are Great Sun Dragon, Divine Prison Beast, Behemoth, Zouwu, Zhu Yan, and other mythical and legendary figures, as if myth manifests anew—utterly awe-inspiring.
"Today, the Dragon God assumes his place!"
With a thought, Lei Long raises the Dragon God’s divine palace from the earth.
After resting, he gazes at the quiet Destruction Heaven.
