The Low-key Evil Wizard BOSS

Originally, Zorn had only planned on seizing seven or eight Independent Star Realms before stopping.

After all, he didn’t have enough time or energy to construct so many Crystal Wall Nest Lands.

However, the gods of the Border Region retreated, willingly ceding their territory.

So, Zorn had no choice but to seize them.

Fortunately, aside from the five most important regions, the others only required the simple construction of a Crystal Wall Insect Bridge.

Moreover, these were all excellent Independent Star Realms, perfect for the Tree of Calamity Magic Ring to take root and flourish.

Placing a portion of the Tree of the Magic Ring’s power in these regions posed absolutely no problem.

Zorn wasn’t worried, even if someone tried to sever the Crystal Wall Insect Bridge to cut off an Independent Star Realm and annihilate the power of his Tree of the Magic Ring.

With his Insect King Curse, he could secretly construct a Starry Sky Insect Path.

This was more than enough to guarantee the safety of these Independent Star Realms.

As time passed.

Zorn began to conquer one Independent Star Realm after another.

The Tree of the Magic Ring also began to bloom across one Material Plane World after another.

As the Tree of the Magic Ring took root in numerous Material Plane Worlds, new Evil Spirit Worlds began to emerge one after another.

And as Zorn grew stronger by the day, he began to meticulously explore and refine his path to becoming an Ancient God.

The major conditions for ascending to the rank of Ancient God were well known to most Upper Rank Gods.

But the sheer difficulty of this path was evident from the small number of Ancient Gods in existence.

First, one must reach the peak of Level 30. This is the most basic requirement.

Second, one must be supported by a sufficiently powerful Tree of the Magic Ring.

This could be a Tree of the Magic Ring one cultivated personally or a pre-existing one.

Although Zorn’s Tree of Calamity Magic Ring was already quite powerful, it would likely still be difficult for it to support his ascension to Ancient God.

Fortunately, Zorn had long ago merged the Cosmic Magic Net with the Disaster Court Magic Ring Tree.

Furthermore, the Disaster Court Magic Ring Tree had now expanded over a vast area.

It could absolutely support the ascension of two or three more Ancient Gods without any issue.

Third, one must possess a sufficiently powerful Ancient Sacred Mark.

The more Ancient Sacred Marks one possessed, the greater the impetus for their ascension.

Fourth, one must possess a certain amount of Cosmic Essence.

This resource is necessary to break through the upper limit of the level barrier.

Whether one is ascending to the rank of Ancient God or an existing Ancient God is trying to raise their level, a sufficient amount of Cosmic Essence is required.

Fifth, one must find an opportunity for a breakthrough during the Mythical Wave era of the Star Realm Cosmic.

All five conditions were indispensable.

Even many top-tier Upper Rank Gods met these conditions.

Some, like those with the title of Ancient Sacred Mark·Upper Rank God, fulfilled the requirements completely.

But those who could actually ascend were few and far between.

Even Zorn, who was already quite strong in every one of these aspects, didn’t dare claim he had a 100% chance of ascending within this millennium. He could only say his chances were slightly better than most.

...

「Star Dust Plateau, on the front lines of the battlefield.」

Across the endless domain.

A colossal Ancient God’s Hand, hundreds of meters in size and glowing with a stardust halo, was locked in combat with a thousand-meter-tall, gleaming golden skeleton giant that wielded a bone War Axe.

RUMBLE...

Every strike from the skeletal giant’s War Axe tore through space itself.

But the starlit Ancient God’s Hand steadily blocked all of its attacks.

In the heat of battle, it relentlessly forced the skeletal giant to retreat.

At this moment, on either side of the fierce battle, legions of Lower Rank Gods led by Middle Rank Gods were observing the fight.

Every move made by this top-tier Upper Rank God contained terrifying power, enough to annihilate a Middle Rank God with ease.

Therefore, these Lower and Middle Rank Gods could only watch from a great distance.

As they watched, the Lower and Middle Rank Gods discussed the battle in hushed tones.

"Which Upper Rank God is that fighting now?"

"You don’t even know? That’s Lord Zorn, the most famous god in our Divine Kingdom for the past few centuries!"

"The Evil God Zorn?"

The one who asked was horrified.

"That’s right. The very same Lord Zorn who has reached the peak of the Upper Rank Gods and has even slain the 9 Holy Stars."

"*Hiss*... Lord Zorn is so powerful and holds such a high position. Why would he come to the front lines to fight?"

"That’s what you don’t understand!"

A Lower Rank God who was a Warrior chuckled.

"Nowadays, many of the Upper Rank Gods are on the front lines, seeking opportunities to fight against the powerful Upper Rank Gods from the other two great kingdoms."

"It’s just like how we try to carve an immortal War Sacred Mark for ourselves in the tide of battle. The Upper Rank Gods also need to carve their own Sacred Marks within the Mythical Wave sweeping across the Star Dust Plateau."

"That’s why there have been so many duels between Upper Rank Gods these past few decades."

"I see! No wonder our offensive has weakened so much in recent decades, while duels between Upper Rank Gods are breaking out all over the battlefield. So... they also want to gain something from this war!"

"Of course. Why else would the Upper Rank Gods start a war that offered them no benefits?"

"Look! The duel is about to be decided!"

In the center of the battlefield.

The Ancient God’s Hand slammed down fiercely. Explosions rang out continuously, and the resulting shockwaves rippled across the land for a hundred kilometers in every direction, effortlessly leveling mountains and rivers.

KRAK KRAK KRAK...

The gleaming golden War Axe on the skeletal giant, which had been withstanding the assault of the Ancient God’s Hand, was now covered in a dense network of cracks and creaked audibly.

After another brief, fierce exchange.

The War Axe came crashing down.

With a deafening BOOM!
