《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret

"Slothful Beast?"
Merlin and Setoh had almost forgotten. Following Flarite's fingers, the two Wizards saw the Slothful Beast. This time, the Slothful Beast's skin had scorch marks, and there was even an unpleasant smell lingering in the air. It must have been the burns left behind by the Flare Emperor's light blue flames.
If the Flare Emperor came in person, perhaps the Slothful Beast would not have lasted this long.
Fortunately, as soon as the Slothful Beast returned to the Void Zone, it also quieted down. It was originally a monster with a very gentle temperament, and generally only acted by instinct. It had struggled for a very long time in the Flare Region Dimension and was extremely tired, so as soon as it returned to the Void Zone, it fell asleep and remained motionless.
Back then, the Three Great Arcane Wizards laid siege to the Slothful Beast because they wanted to keep it in captivity. The beast was a terrifying creature not inferior to ultimate existences, and was perhaps even more useful.
However, the Three Great Arcane Wizards failed in controlling the Slothful Beast. As a result, the Three Great Arcane Wizards gave up. However, now, Setoh was full of confidence in Merlin.
"Wizard Merlin, you're now the Glorious Lord. The Mind Power system you've created is truly amazing. It might be possible to keep this Slothful Beast in captivity now!"
Wizard Setoh said expectantly.
Keeping a Slothful Beast was something that a regular foreign civilization would not even think of doing. After all, the Slothful Beast would occasionally wake up and devour countless dimensions. Who could stop it?
Furthermore, the Slothful Beast was so powerful that even several ultimate existences could not control it, much less ordinary Wizards. Therefore, it was impossible to keep a Slothful Beast in captivity.
Merlin hesitated for a moment. He was naturally very interested in the Slothful Beast.
"It's still very difficult to keep a Slothful Beast in captivity. After all, I can't control the Slothful Beast now. However, I can use Hallucinating spells to make the Slothful Beast work in unimaginable ways, especially on the battlefield!"
The more Merlin thought about it, the more feasible it was. His Hallucinating spell could confuse the Slothful Beast's weak consciousness. Although it could not be controlled by Merlin, it could be affected. It was precisely this method that had allowed Merlin to lure the Slothful Beast into the Limbo Prison so that they could escape.
As long as they were careful not to be swallowed by the Slothful Beast when it had "woken up", then they could rest easy!
Thinking about this, Merlin's heart raced. He had never thought that Mind Power would have such a role. The uses of a Slothful Beast could be quite terrifying.
"Do we still go to the Giant Tribe now?"

Merlin asked in a low voice. After all, they were still a long way from the Giant Tribe, and he had to be very cautious in using the Hallucinating spell to lure the Slothful Beast along the way.
"Yes, we have to. I didn't have much confidence before but now, with the Slothful Beast, I have more assurance!"
A smile appeared on Setoh's mouth. He believed that with the Slothful Beast, even if it was just for show, it would be enough to shock others. The Giant Tribe would naturally understand that now that the Spell Caster civilization had the Slothful Beast, even if they suffered heavy losses, they would not be destroyed. The possibility that the Giant Tribe would agree was very high.
Merlin also nodded secretly. The Giant Tribe did not compete with the Spell Caster civilization. They were far from each other, and there was even the God Alliance between them. They were generally not concerned about each other at all. Now that the Spell Caster civilization was in peril, the Giant Tribe would have to consider that if the Spell Caster civilization was defeated and there was only the Giant Tribe left, then their situation would be in danger as well.
Therefore, it was necessary to demonstrate the Spell Caster civilization's strength. Without an ultimate existence, they had not much assurance. However, with the Slothful Beast, its significance was no less than an ultimate existence being personally present.
"However, the Slothful Beast is too huge a target. It'll be easy to catch the attention of the God Alliance!"
Setoh's worry was not too large. Both Merlin and Setoh were comparable to Great Lords. Therefore, as long as it was not the powerful upper rank gods or a Lord God, then there would not be any danger.
"Will you three be coming with us?"
"Of course. We want to follow you and see how much has changed in the Void Zone."
Flarite and the others also wanted to follow them to the Giant Tribe, and Merlin and Setoh naturally welcomed them.
"Alright, we'll fly on the Slothful Beast's back."
Merlin and the others swiftly flew to the Slothful Beast's back. Since the Slothful Beast was so large, its back was naturally extremely wide. As they stood on its back, they looked small and significant. They would go completely unnoticed unless someone observed carefully.
"Alright, let's go!"
Merlin started using the Hallucinating spell to slowly awaken the Slothful Beast, and its huge body began to move. Although the Slothful Beast's body seemed to be moving slowly, that was because its body was too large. In reality, the Slothful Beast's speed was no slower than an Atlan civilization empire-level warship.
Flarite and the others, who had left the Flare Region world for the first time, seemed to be full of curiosity about everything around them. They looked at the cold and dark Void Zone around them, feeling deeply moved.

Wizard Setoh suddenly said to Flarite, "Flarite, your strength should've reached the point where you can sense the natural order, right? Can you sense the natural order?"
"Sense the natural order?"
Flarite thought for a long moment before nodding solemnly. "Yes, I can sense the natural order."
Merlin was also slightly surprised. He knew that Flarite was extraordinary and was comparable to Great Lords with five ultimate Maxims. An existence like that should be classified as a quasi-ultimate existence.
If he could sense the natural order, then he had the chance to become an ultimate existence!
Merlin and some other Lords could not sense the natural order. They would only be able to sense it when their strength had hit a certain critical point. At that time, there would only be two choices – the first was to fuse with the natural order. If they succeeded, they would become ultimate existences and possess terrifying power.
The other choice was to ignore natural order and not fuse with it. If they could continue increasing their strength regardless, then they would become a Greatest Lord! Unless an ultimate existence interfered, a Greatest Lord would be able to completely reverse a huge civilization war.
"So, will you choose to integrate with the natural order? If you choose to, I can explain some of my understanding of the natural order to you."
As an ultimate existence, Wizard Setoh naturally had some insights about merging with the natural order. This was a very valuable experience, and it was also directly enticing Flarite.
After a long moment, Flarite shook his head. "How difficult will it be to integrate with the natural order? Everyone who had integrated with the natural order only managed to do so after various chances, experiencing hardships, and finally getting a stroke of luck. I'm not sure if I can succeed yet. When I was still with Sir Flare Emperor, I heard some matters about integrating with the natural order. It's extremely dangerous. I won't easily choose to integrate with the natural order until I'm absolutely confident."
Flarite did not want to merge with the natural order now because he had a deep understanding of the natural order. It seemed that the Flare Emperor treated Flarite and the others well to tell them such a secret.
Merlin, on the other hand, was confused. He looked at Setoh with some doubts.
Setoh only smiled and said without concealing anything, "Wizard Merlin, you're a Lord now. If one day, you've reached the point where you can integrate with the natural order, then you have to be careful. Integrating with the natural order isn't dangerous because you'll die. You might not suffer any harm at all. However, the only regret is that you'll never be able to integrate with the natural order ever again!
"You can imagine the natural order to be a living creature. It can give any being a chance to integrate with it, but if you fail, then it'll remember you. In the future, you'll no longer be able to sense the natural order. Therefore, those who can sense the natural order will not rashly choose to integrate with the natural order, since they're only given one chance."
Merlin nodded thoughtfully. No one would reveal a secret like that until his strength had reached a certain level. This was one of the benefits of belonging to a powerful civilization.
At the very least, there were ultimate existences in powerful civilizations who could tell him secrets like these. In weak civilizations like the Golden Light Tribe, even if Maya were able to sense the natural order in the future, if he did not know these secrets and recklessly chose to integrate with the natural order, once he failed, he would not have a second chance.
Flarite also nodded approvingly and said, "Indeed, there's only one chance. Therefore, I can't rashly choose to integrate with the natural order. I need to have some assurance before I choose to do so. However, it's still very difficult. Those who can sense the natural order are all prodigies among prodigies. They're at least top beings in their civilizations. However, only a few of them can truly succeed."
Setoh smiled. He knew very well that the Spell Caster civilization was extremely lucky to have been able to come this far. Since the birth of the Spell Casters until the present, there were only three Wizards in the Spell Caster civilization who could truly reach the realm of being able to sense the natural order. Those were the current Three Ultimate Arcane Wizards.
They were extremely lucky to have integrated with the natural order, and successfully became Ultimate Arcane Wizards!
Now, the closest one to sense the natural order was the Fowell Lord from Augustus Arcane City. He had already tried to form his fifth ultimate Maxim, but he still encountered many difficulties and was unable to succeed thus far.
"Wizard Merlin, you should also remember this for the future. If you're not certain, then don't choose to integrate with the natural order!"
Wizard Setoh also solemnly warned.
Merlin smiled but disagreed in his heart. After seeing Aruba, Merlin already knew that integrating with the natural order and becoming an ultimate existence was not the best choice.
Perhaps he would never choose to integrate with the natural order!

Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel (An Irreverent Fanfiction)
Fates Parallel is a gripping cultivation story, following the adventures of a half-spirit girl with nothing as she grows both as a cultivator and as a person after arriving at the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial and Arcane Arts. It features fleshed-out, believable characters, wonderful world-building that informs the course of the plot, and girls who hold hands. Fates Parallel is a very good story, and you should read it! Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at this same world from a different angle, following a totally regular girl who brings bad luck with her wherever she goes. It features shallow, joke-name characters, a focus on the least interesting parts of a fantastic world, and girls who hold hands (potentially). Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel is an amazingly hilarious (so says me) fanfiction and you should read it! (This is a Totally Author Approved Spin-Off (Fanfiction) for Fates Parallel, which you can find in a number of places including here on RoyalRoad! Please do read it!)

To Blunt The Sharpest Claw
The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels are a series of New Fable genre novels that involve cats and dogs and high adventure and romance and espionage and food-fights and hotels and explosions and car chases. With large casts, exotic locations and an absurdity only possible in the absence of human characters, the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels blend Wind in the Willows with James Bond, though with more cafes and fewer badgers. This submission is the third title in its Morigan Trilogy, beginning two-thirds of the way through the series' longest adventure yet. Here's a quick recount of what's happened so far: When Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a Velvet Paw of Asquith, is ordered to investigate how a mysterious poet, the Ar'dath-Irr, is able to travel instantaneously around the world, two very bad things happen. Firstly, he meets Lydia, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, and secondly, the Ar'dath-Irr reveals he is intent on taking over the world. Although this second thing might be considered worse than the first, Oscar feels differently following Lydia’s destruction of a cafe, a library and his face in one afternoon. In comparison, thwarting world domination just seems easier. Along with Binklemitre, a fellow Velvet Paw of Asquith, and Lydia, Oscar infiltrates the Ar’dath-Irr’s realm of dark poetry to discover the dog not only intends wrenching the world apart but has no intention of cleaning up afterwards. As a result, Oscar decides it’s all too hard and goes home to have a bath. After lots of arguing and the sort of food fight that posh restaurants were invented for, Lydia and Binklemitre convince him that they must stop the Ar’dath-Irr for several reasons, one of them quite serious. A vibrant cast of characters collide as Oscar, Lydia and Binklemitre battle the Ar’dath-Irr and his disciples in an adventure involving exploding cafés and appalling hotels, car chases and inadvertent surgery, dreadful poetry, lots of arguments and at least one temper-tantrum, all of which draw the three into dark and convoluted corners of a world they weren’t aware existed. Moreover, any chance of sitting down and discussing things over some buns disappears when Lydia punches the Ar’dath-Irr in the face. This results in her having a psychotic episode and Oscar getting run over by an ambulance. Although Binklemitre suffers neither, he witnesses both, which is almost as dreadful, though not nearly so messy. An enormous battle ensues, followed by a dinner party and then everything explodes.
