"This place is too desolate and backward. The life-forms here are naturally weak and don't have much intelligence. I haven't seen any ultimate existence which had integrated with the natural order."

The two curved-horn foreign creatures were wrapped in the power of the natural order. They were incredibly fast. The creatures scanned their surroundings and immediately detected the life-forms in the surrounding dimensions, but all of them were very weak.

"Hehe, have you forgotten what the Honorable Lord mentioned? Back then, the reason the Vestigial Tribe built confinement dimensions was to imprison some of the Lord Gods and ultimate existences, so that they cannot sense the power of the natural order. Therefore, confinement dimensions are generally located in very remote areas with sparse resources. Due to the remote location and scarcity of resources, how can a powerful life-form be born? However, this is a good place to imprison the captured ultimate existences and allow the Vestigial Tribe to study them carefully. If not for the Thirty-six Emperors back then, perhaps the entire Void Zone would have been conquered by the Vestigial Tribe."

One of the Curved Horn Creatures showed a look of disdain. He was confident that the life-forms in this place was too weak. These isolated life-forms were definitely not comparable to them.

"Haha, true, the Vestigial Tribe was very powerful. The confinement dimensions they created were originally meant to imprison some ultimate existence, so they were somewhat important. Nevertheless, the real reason Sir Honorable Lord was so tempted to find it was because, when the Vestigial Tribe was finally defeated, they transferred their ultimate powers, knowledge, and strengths inside the confinement dimensions. Perhaps it was because the confinement dimensions were also a relatively strong fort. It was because Sir Honorable Lord managed to control two of the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions and obtained a lot of knowledge and inheritance of the Vestigial Tribe, that he managed to create a prosperous Great Light Region."

Whenever the Curved Horn Creatures mentioned the 'Honorable Lord,' there was a look of reverence on their faces. Apparently, the mysterious Honorable Lord was most revered.

"Okay, let's use the Vestigial Tribe's Aurora warship and hurry up. We must help Sir Honorable Lord locate the third Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension. Then, we will have the ability to overshadow the other Light Envoys, and perhaps become the leaders of the Seventy-Two Light Envoys!"

The two Curve Horn Creatures increased their speed. Amidst the Void Zone, only two small undetectable streamers of light were vaguely visible. Their speed was several times' faster than any ultimate existence.

…

In a huge empty space amidst the vast Void Zone, numerous powerful existences from the Spell Caster civilization were gathered together. Even the least of them was a two ultimate Maxim Lord.

"Swish swish".

Another few figures that flashed with the power of the natural order landed in their midst. It was Titan Giant Chronos and the ultimate existence of the Avian Tribe, the Avian Monarch.

Both of them represented the Avian Tribe and the Giant Tribe respectively. After all, the God Alliance and the Rock Tribe had been exterminated, so these civilizations were the nearest to the Spell Caster civilization. This time, Flarite from the Spell Caster civilization was taking his final step and a new ultimate existence might be born, so naturally, they would not stay away.

"Chronos, Avian Monarch, welcome to the ceremony!"

Merlin was dressed in a plain black robe that did not seem to exude any terrifying aura, but his status was unequivocally the top contender among the surrounding civilizations. Thus, the Avian Monarch and Chronos hurriedly replied, "Glory Lord, you're being too kind. We are grateful to be invited to witness Flarite take the final step. We even brought with us a few strong contenders from our tribes to observe the ceremony. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience."

As soon as he finished speaking, strong contenders from the Giant Tribe and Avian Tribe began to file in behind the two of them. Being able to observe the process of integrating with the natural order at such a close range was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Merlin nodded and turned his gaze towards Flarite. The main highlight of the day was Flarite. He would be taking the final step, which attracted everyone's attention.

"I heard that in order to take the final step, one must first activate the origin of the natural order. It is the most essential core of the entire Void Zone and the source of all power. Only by integrating one's willpower into the origin of the natural order and earning the acknowledgment of the origin of the natural order, the process would be considered successful. Only then, one can wield the power of the natural order and become an ultimate existence!"

In the last few days, Merlin had been asking Arcane Wizard Augustus, Arcane Wizard Ceci and so on about how the ultimate existences accomplished their final step. He was no longer ignorant.

In fact, no matter what type of civilization, the process of taking the final step was the same. Whether it was the Spell Caster civilization, Tree Tribe civilization, Giant Tribe and so on, they observed the final step of integrating with the origin of the natural order and earning its acknowledgment.

Of course, the Vestigial Tribe was different. They developed external objects which did not have to integrate with the natural order, yet capable of unleashing powers that were stronger than the ultimate existences. Perhaps, due to this reason, the natural order of the Void Zone indirectly influenced every foreign tribe civilization in the Void Zone to join forces and fight the Vestigial Tribe.

"Wizard Augustus, Wizard Ceci, as for the final step of integrating with the origin of the natural order, how can someone ensure that they will be acknowledged by the origin of the natural order? Or perhaps, how can you increase the chances of earning acknowledgment from the origin of the natural order, in order to integrate your willpower with it?"

Merlin noticed that in order to integrate with the natural order, the most critical step was to earn the acknowledgment of the origin of the natural order.

Augustus knew that Merlin was only a Lord. However, he could not evaluate Merlin's Mind Power System properly and assumed that eventually, Merlin would also have to take the final step to become an ultimate existence. Therefore, he explained everything he knew to Merlin in meticulous detail.

"The origin of the natural order. First and foremost, only those who have reached the critical point of becoming an ultimate existence, such as the Lords in our Spell Caster civilization who are able to consolidate five ultimate Maxims, would be able to activate the origin of the natural order. In theory, everyone only has one chance to activate the origin of the natural order. Hence, if you fail to earn the acknowledgment of the origin of the natural order the first time, it would be considered a failure. Then, it's almost impossible to become an ultimate existence, because the person will no longer be able to activate the origin of the natural order again."

"No matter how powerful an existence is, it's impossible to activate the origin of the natural order by force, so everyone only has once chance. For this reason, they must work hard to accumulate their odds. No one knows how to increase the chances of earning the origin of the natural order's acknowledgment. The origin of the natural order is a mystery, the biggest mystery of the Void Zone, as well as the source of all power. In other words, anyone who takes the final step is, in fact, taking a gamble!"

Merlin's eyes widened. He said incredulously, "Taking a gamble? On sheer luck?"

"That right, in theory, it's a gamble of luck."

Augustus smiled wryly, while Merlin stared at Flarite with an expression of disbelief. He did not expect that many of the ultimate existences took the final step gambling on sheer luck.

If a Spell Caster could consolidate five ultimate Maxims, he would be eligible to activate the origin of the natural order. However, whether or not he received an acknowledgement from the origin of the natural order was a wild gamble, no one knew what would happen.

Merlin shook his head. If it was a mere gamble of luck, then it was truly difficult to become an ultimate existence.

"I wonder if Flarite will succeed?"

Merlin looked at Flarite anxiously. Both he and Flarite broke out of the Flare Emperor's prison together, so he knew of Flarite's wishes.

Flarite's dream was to develop the Flare Tribe. The Flare Tribe was not a special race, as long as one cultivated the methods left behind by the Flare Emperor, it was possible to become a Flare Creature. However, it had strict restrictions.

Up to now, Merlin even opened up the entire Spell Caster civilization for Flarite to select any candidates. As long as the person fulfilled the conditions of becoming a Flare Creature and was willing to become a Flare Creature, Merlin would allow it.

Nonetheless, after all this time, Flarite had not found anyone that fulfilled the conditions of becoming a Flare Creature. Right now, becoming an ultimate existence was actually the first step of Flarite's plan. Only by becoming an ultimate existence, he would be able to travel further away to search for people who were suitable to join the Flare Tribe.

This first step was extremely arduous and no one could help him.

The Void Zone suddenly quietened down. Despite the number of people, it was completely silent. Everyone was staring intently at the figure in the middle of the Void Zone – Flarite!

"Boom".

The Void Zone which did not contain time and space jolted violently. Perhaps it was a feeling in everyone's heart, but the ultimate existences in particular, felt a sense of indescribable joy. Even their powers of the natural order seemed eager to break free, that they had to suppress them with all their might.

"Merlin, Flarite is mobilizing all his strength to activate the origin of the natural order!"

The expressions of the ultimate existences, including Augustus, were extremely solemn. They had only witnessed the origin of the natural order once in their life, which was when they took the final step and integrated with the natural order.

"Hum".

The flames on Flarite's body turned into a sea of fire but at this very moment, a ball of white light gradually appeared amidst the sea of fire. The light was misty, like a cloud.

However, this white cloud was expanding rapidly and no one could see what was inside.

Merlin's heart ticked. He condensed his Mind Power and extended it towards the giant cloud. He knew that this was the source of the power of the entire Void Zone, the origin of the natural order with infinite powers!

However, when Merlin's usually infallible Mind Power touched the origin of the natural order, an unimaginable force slammed into his mind and restrained him forcefully.

Meanwhile, Merlin's Illusory World was completely powerless against this massive force. It was almost ready to collapse.

"Hum hum hum."

The cloud layer over the Void Zone began to quake fiercely. Multiple bursts of power descended in a frenzy. No one saw that Merlin's face paled all of a sudden.

This burst of power that came from the origin of the natural order seemed to be aimed at Merlin's Illusory World. It unleashed a frenzied oppression, as though it would not rest until the Illusory World was destroyed.

It was at this moment that Merlin was discreetly horrified. He already knew that the Illusory World was in direct conflict with the Void Zone's natural order, so he should not have used it to investigate the origin of the natural order. Now he was digging his own grave and was incapable of resistance. The Illusory World was yet to succeed, let alone have the power to resist the power of the origin of the natural order?

"Golden Ray Armor!"

Merlin's body flashed goldenly. He could only rely on the Golden Ray Armor and see whether it could block the origin of the natural order's siege on the Illusory World.

This was a testament as to the extent to which the Illusory World posed a threat to the Void Zone. As soon as the origin of the natural order sensed the Illusory World, it tried to destroy it frantically.

"In the future, even if I want to integrate with the natural order and give up on transforming the Illusory World from illusion into reality, I'm afraid it will be impossible…"

Merlin shook his head helplessly. Everyone else could activate the origin of the natural order, except Merlin. If he were to activate the origin of the natural order and possess the Illusory World, he would be attacked by the entire Void Zone's power of the natural order.

For others, activating the origin of the natural order was a golden opportunity, yet for Merlin, it would be catastrophic!
