It won’t be long before the Star Alliance gains a True Spirit Wizard!

Recalling the scene when he first followed Maisy into the Starlight Continent, Cyril couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.

At that time, although he held quite a bit of hope for the Star Alliance, he never expected the Star Alliance to develop so rapidly, stepping into the ranks of second-tier Wizard Influences in just over two thousand years.

And now they have successfully slain a god!

Even if it was because the Star Spirit Bell Tower and the Dark Throne severely wounded the Spider Goddess Queen first, the Star Alliance still successfully killed a Divine Spirit, which was truly astonishing in strength.

...

Giant Peak Plane, Star Spirit High Castle.

In the spacious council chamber, Gunter Sharp sat at the head of the table, looking at the arguing crowd below, his face silent, giving no sign of his thoughts.

"The timing of the Dark Throne’s action was exceptionally precise, indicating that they must have had a detailed plan. We’ve got a traitor in our ranks for sure!"

"That’s right, and the traitor’s position must not be low!"

"It’s not surprising to me that the Dark Throne has placed agents within our organization, but what’s with the Star Alliance?"

"I’m puzzled by that too. I still can’t figure out how the Star Alliance obtained the intelligence."

"Rather than that, I think we should focus on dealing with the Star Alliance. This operation cost us dearly, yet we gained nothing, and the Star Alliance reaped all the benefits. I’m not willing to suffer such a huge loss!"

"What can you do if you’re unwilling? The Star Alliance is, after all, an affiliate of the Wisdom Code. If we take action against the Star Alliance, the Wisdom Code definitely won’t stand by idly."

"Does that mean we just give up?"

As the debate grew intense, a light cough suddenly rang out.

The crowd seemed to have a pause button pressed, ceasing to speak, and all eyes focused on Gunter Sharp at the head of the table.

"After the meeting, immediately conduct an internal investigation. We must root out that traitorous rat!"

Gunter Sharp’s gaze swept around the room, landing on a young man with a head of red hair.

"Bernie, you’re in charge of the investigation."

"Yes, sir."

Bernie responded respectfully, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"What about the Star Alliance..."

Gunter Sharp waved his hand and said, "We lost this match, admit it."

The crowd exchanged glances and eventually fell silent, saying nothing more.

They all actually understood in their hearts that if it were only the Star Alliance, they could have used their power to press them, reclaim the Divine Corpse of the Spider Goddess Queen.

But behind the Star Alliance is still the Wisdom Code.

If they forcibly act, the Wisdom Code will definitely interfere. One carelessness, and it’s easy to escalate into a war between two Wizard Influences.

The Wizard civil war has just passed, and the Star Spirit Bell Tower has not fully recovered; it’s not wise to engage in a second large-scale war.

The Divine Corpse is precious, but the council will not go to war with the Wisdom Code over it.

The issue must end here.

...

Moonlight Plane, City of Utmost Darkness.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was heavy.

Sitting at the head, Jude wore a dark cloud on his face, and anyone could see that this True Spirit Wizard was in a foul mood.

The wizards below all hung their heads, not daring to breathe too loudly.

They had schemed for a long time for this operation, mobilizing vast resources, thinking they could profit like a fisher, but who would have thought it would end in failure while a third-rate Wizard Influence took advantage?

Failing where they planned to steal just makes the outcome all the more frustrating, akin to biting off more than they could chew, and anyone would be in a bad mood in such circumstances.

After a long pause, Jude coldly broke the silence.

"Tell me, how did the Star Alliance get word of our plan?"

Once the plan was underway, the Dark Throne sealed off the plane space surrounding the Blood River to ensure no other wizards could interfere.

Yet they never once detected Sunan’s presence.

That left only one explanation: Sunan had infiltrated the Blood Abyss earlier than they and the Star Spirit Bell Tower and hid near the ambush site.

Moreover, after they were repelled by the Spider Goddess Queen, the Star Alliance’s troops entered the Blood Abyss in quick succession, proving that the Star Alliance was already well acquainted with their plan.

Either the Star Spirit Bell Tower had a slip-up,

or someone among them was secretly feeding information to the Star Alliance.

If it’s the former, so be it, but if it’s the latter... not skewering that person with a thousand cuts and burning their soul in the fires of the Blood Abyss for millions of years would not suffice to quell Jude’s fury!

With Jude’s voice trailing off, silence continued to fill the hall.

The people exchanged glances with one another, their gazes filled with suspicion and scrutiny.

Seeing the shifts in their demeanor, Jude narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yukeil, you’re in charge of the internal investigation. Root out the traitor who leaked the information!"

"Yes, sir!"

A tall, slender wizard replied earnestly, casting subtle glances at those around him.

Still, everyone maintained an air of calm.

Yukeil frowned slightly.

It seemed that unearthing this spy wouldn’t be easy.

"Sir, what about the Star Alliance?" a wizard suddenly asked.

Jude’s eye twitched slightly, and he coldly snorted:

"Let them swagger around for now."

No words passed between them—they all remained silent.

Yukeil’s gaze flickered, and his heart sighed softly.

The Dark Throne isn’t a monolith; rather, it’s more full of intrigue and strife than other Wizard Influences.

This time, Sir Jude faced a massive loss, and who knows how many people are secretly gloating.

Even if Sir Jude applies to the Throne Council to deal with the Star Alliance, the other crown wizards are sure to oppose it.

The reason is obvious: the Star Alliance is backed by the Wisdom Code. They cannot make a move that could potentially trigger a war between two large Wizard Influences due to Jude’s personal vendetta.

In short, they have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

If they want revenge, they’ll have to wait for another opportunity in the future.

"With the Star Alliance obtaining the Divine Corpse of the Spider Goddess Queen, their leader Sunan should soon advance to a True Spirit Wizard."

"Once they reach the Realm of Truth, the Wisdom Code won’t be able to shield Sunan at every moment."

"At that time, Sir Jude will have the opportunity to strike down Sunan!"

Thinking of this, Yukeil’s mood lifted slightly.

Just as Sir Jude said, let the Star Alliance have their moment in the sun for now. Once they enter the Realm of Truth, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with Sunan properly!

...

Thunder Element Plane.

Electrical currents coursed through the thick clouds, with bolts of lightning resembling dragons streaking between them.

Boom!

Strikes of thunder descended from above, crashing down on Sunan, who sat cross-legged, the brilliant lightning nearly engulfing him, forming a blinding sphere of light.

Yet Sunan remained unmoved, letting the electric arcs dance across his body, fully immersed in his training.

In invisible ways, through the connection with his divinity, he was wholly comprehending the Law Origin of the Thunder Element Plane.

With nearly every passing moment, his understanding of the Thunder Law deepened.

Since returning from the Blood Abyss, Sunan had entrusted all affairs to Lize for coordination, immersing himself completely in comprehending the Thunder Law.

He had to admit, the aid of divinity dramatically increased the efficiency of understanding the law, advancing by leaps and bounds.

Initially, he estimated it would take at least thirty to twenty years to grasp the Thunder Law.

But with the divinity’s aid, he managed to comprehend the Thunder Law in less than eight years.

In subsequent training, his progress in comprehending the Thunder Law accelerated astonishingly.

In just over ten years, his comprehension progress of the Thunder Law increased by about 10%!

Moments later, feeling that his body had reached its limit, Sunan opened his eyes and withdrew the Thunder-Attracting Wood, ending his training.

The clouds no longer echoed with thunder, and the lightning surrounding him faded from sight.

Feeling that his understanding of the Thunder Law had further advanced, Sunan couldn’t help but smile a bit more.

"At this rate, in another one hundred to one hundred and thirty years, I should be able to master the Thunder Law."

Originally, Sunan estimated that even with the Light Awakening Potion, it would take at least four to five hundred years to master the Thunder Law, but now that time had been more than halved.

The effect of the divine aid was undeniably astonishing!
