Chapter 570 368: Meeting
Chapter 570 368: Meeting
Second World, Lor's private space, top floor of the Wizard Tower.
On both sides of the long table in the living room, the legislators of the Wizard Alliance were already seated.
And at the very end of the long table, sitting prominently, was Lor.
The expressions on the faces of most of the legislators present were particularly grave, with only a few managing to maintain a facade of calm.
"Speaker Lor," Francis, who sat first on the right side of the long table, addressed Lor as soon as everyone was present, "concerning the announcement just released by the Butterfly Emperor, what do you think we should do?"
He had just communicated with Lor immediately after seeing the Butterfly Emperor's announcement and jointly initiated an emergency meeting.
Since most of the legislators of the Wizard Alliance were not on the Wizard Plane, this meeting obviously couldn't be convened through the Continent Communication Device, and hence was held in the Second World.
Regarding the issue of the collapse of the Three Domains barriers, Francis didn't lack an emergency response plan, but out of respect for Lor, he felt it necessary to consult him first.
"Immediately initiate the special emergency recall plan," Lor responded without hesitation, turning to Van and saying, "Van, you should now go to the outer Plane Group to guide the returning wizards."
The so-called emergency recall plan is when the Wizard Alliance faces a powerful adversary; all external legislators and councilors should, depending on the severity of the situation, do their utmost to bring back to the Wizard Plane Group all the talents, resources, and mortals they can.
The special emergency recall plan means that the situation has reached the most critical point, and the legislators and councilors stationed in the Plane Group territories, except for the dispatched genius wizards and particularly talented students, need to temporarily leave everything else behind.
There was no other choice. According to the Butterfly Emperor, the barriers between the Crystal Domain and the other two domains would completely collapse in at most half an hour.
By then, who knows if the creatures of the other two domains will cross the Distanceless Spatial Layer to enter the Blood Domain 758 Plane Sea... perhaps only Blood knows, and that can be inquired later.
In short, with half an hour's time, it would be quite fortunate if these guys could gather all the talents and particularly promising students into the cross-plane group spaceship.
As for whether they can subsequently reach the outside of the Wizard Plane Group smoothly, that depends on how strong the creatures invading the 758 Plane Sea from the other two domains are and whether they might encounter the Wizard Alliance's cross-plane group spaceship.
Actually, the likelihood of such an encounter happening is very small, and the risk of them being able to instantaneously stop the cross-plane group spaceship from fleeing after encountering it, and even destroy it, is even smaller.
Therefore, Lor wasn't overly worried about the safety of these legislators and councilors themselves.
Additionally, over the past ten thousand years, besides being responsible for guiding other wizards into the Wizard Plane Group, Van had a more important task.
That was to reinforce the space around the Wizard Plane Group.
Over these ten thousand years, with Lor's nearly unlimited support through Illusion Dream Value, he had barely managed to consolidate the twelve spatial nodes around the Wizard Plane Group to the point where, even beings of the Eighth Ring would be unable to enter unconsciously without specific coordinates.
Therefore, even if the other two domain's creatures invade the 758 Plane Sea, they cannot directly launch an attack against the Wizard Plane Group, leaving a bit of buffer time.
With this buffer time, Lor believed he had the leeway to take the Wizard Plane Group and flee... unless an Overlord-level enemy appeared directly around the Wizard Plane Group.
And in the instant they discover the Wizard Plane Group, they would launch a devastating attack against it.
Such a possibility exists, but it's really small.
If it indeed happened, Lor felt that he wouldn't be able to escape no matter where he was.
"Yes, Mentor." Van immediately nodded in acknowledgment, though his figure didn't disappear from the right side of the long table.
Leaving a bit of perception in the Second World when doing things that don't require total concentration is not difficult.
"Received."
"Understood."
...
At the same time, the other legislators responded one after another.
Immediately after, Vincentia, the only Seventh Ring Mechanical Wizard of the Wizard Alliance, looked at Lor and asked with a hint of concern, "Do you need me to go out and help?"
"If needed, I can break through to the Seventh Ring right now," Sanchez also stated without hesitation.
He had long become a Tier Six, Nine Stars, and breaking through to the Seventh Ring posed no difficulty.
The reason he hadn't done so yet was that he wanted to take advantage of Lor's influence to glimpse the threshold of Transcender.
According to his prediction, even if the output of Abyssal Demons continues at the current level, he would reach the threshold of Transcender and become the second Transcender of the Wizard Alliance and this era of the Crystal Domain in about another thirty thousand years.
At that time, he would also have a ticket to step into the Eighth Ring.
However, if he were to break through now, his future only held a one-tenth chance of becoming the Eighth Ring.
But if the Wizard Alliance needs it, he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice his potential.
Because he clearly knew that his purpose lay therein, and he had to live up to the resources the Wizard Alliance initially invested.
As early as during the Silver Wolf raid, he had already prepared himself mentally.
"If someone indeed encounters a crisis during the return transition, and if I can save them, I will step in."
Lor shook his head towards the two of them, then earnestly said to Sanchez, "Legislator Sanchez, my expectations for you are in the future, not the present."
"Currently, any Seventh Tier being poses no threat to me, and as for Eighth Tier beings, whether it's I or you after breaking through, we would be powerless."
"Therefore, I advise you not to easily give up—only if there's a sliver of hope of becoming a Transcender."
"The help that an Overlord-level trump card can provide the Wizard Alliance is incomparable to that of a top-tier Seventh Tier."
Although by the time Sanchez breaks through to the Eighth Ring, I would have already broken through beforehand.
But I can't always guard the Wizard Plane Group, just as before when I went to the Vortex Plane Sea.
And Sanchez, is the ideal future guardian of the Wizard Plane Group envisaged.
As for Vincentia and Domenico, the difficulty of them breaking through to the Eighth Ring is not on the same level as Sanchez, and whether they can break through remains uncertain.
"I understand." Sanchez nodded solemnly.
The other legislators, one after another, cast envious glances at Sanchez, understanding the deeper meaning behind Lor's words was, of course, impossible to miss.
To them, the Seventh Ring is a significant barrier, but Lor and Sanchez's sights are already set on the Eighth Ring; such a gap makes it hard for them not to be envious.
As for jealousy, it's there but not much.
In the Wizard Alliance, power, strength, and obligation are interrelated.
The strong shield the weak, while the weak contribute their wisdom and spiritual light to the strong— none can do without the other.
For all the legislators present, Sanchez achieving the Eighth Ring is a net positive, not to mention the gains of Lor.
