Age of Adepts

Steeply, Grim understood why those Grand Sorcerers were always out of touch with the bitonal consciousness.

At the Grand Sorcerer level, the illusory and hazy mystery and sublime feeling that the Bit World used to have was gone. Even a great being like the Bit Consciousness is just an object worth studying and dissecting in the eyes of a Grand Sorcerer.

Great Shamans have their own independent self-consciousness, and are never willing to be seduced and manipulated by the plane consciousness like puppets on strings. Their powerful and resilient spirituality has developed to a bit extreme, allowing them to resist the encroachment and inspiration of the bit consciousness.

More importantly, the power they hoarded on their own was too great, and the rules they controlled could profoundly affect the rules of the world. The existence of such overly powerful individuals within the bits was not a blessing to the bits, and often times even became the biggest burden to the bit world.

As a result, the Great Shamans are like a negative couple between them and the bitmain consciousness. The Great Sorcerer is powerful enough, but he is restricted by the rules and doesn't dare to make a fuss inside the bit plane. On the other hand, the consciousness is like a nagging old woman, whispering in their ears every day that they can't do this or that, and they can't stand each other.

As a result, the great sorcerers were forced to leave the world, cutting off most of their ties with the original plane. The bit consciousness, on the other hand, dispelled some of the hidden problems and was able to continue to maintain the normal operation of the entire huge bit rule system.

From this and from the other, Grim could also deduce that the bit consciousness' care for him would never last.

Now that the world was facing the Devil Tide, it needed a strong fighter to defend itself against the invasion of foreign civilizations. Therefore, at this moment, the relationship between it and Grim was simply honeyed, so good that it made everyone feel envious and jealous.

However, once the crisis of the foreign invasion was lifted, then a top existence like Grim would again become a thorn in its side, and it would definitely use all sorts of means to exclude it. If Grim bided its time and stayed hidden, perhaps this process of exclusion would be long and gentle.

But if Grim does not know how to restrain himself, and relies on the blessings of his past consciousness to do whatever he wants, then the process will become intense and urgent, and will even spread to those close to him whom Grim loves and trusts.

Processes like this one erupt in the bit world almost every few hundred years.

And the last time, the one who was expelled from the bitworld in the middle of the continent was that Sarubo Grand Sorcerer, the first Grand Sorcerer that Grim had ever come into contact with in his life.

Originally, Grim was still slightly surprised in his heart, the Sarupo family had produced such an amazing Grand Sorcerer, the family power should have risen strong, right! But from the feelings he had experienced along the way, he could realize that the Sarupo family was barely even a middle wizard family in the middle of the country, it was a bit unworthy of its name.

In the past, Grim was blissfully ignorant, always unable to think through the reasons behind it.

But now he somewhat understood that the reason for this was probably the strong suppression by the bit consciousness.

And it seemed that him, as an alternate soul who had crossed the multiverse, being able to appear inside the Sarupo family was not some kind of accident, but a means for the bit consciousness to divide and disintegrate the power of the Sarupo family!

By this estimation, the fact that he was able to rise covertly and eventually break with the Sarupo family might have the credit of the bit consciousness infesting and fueling the situation.

However, the current Grim's rise is too fast, to the point where it's unsettling for the Bit Consciousness. It may not be long before it's time for the bit consciousness to begin to suppress and divide it.

It was precisely because the dimension of the station was high enough and the horizons were wide enough that Grim possessed a forward vision far beyond the narrow horizons of ordinary sorcerers. But then, the position consciousness had lost its mystery and its original lofty status in his eyes, and had instead become a potential future enemy.

Thus, while the other sorcerers were fervently 'fighting' the Calamity Breath invasion, Grim was carefully calculating his gains and losses, appearing somewhat out of place with the keynote atmosphere of the scene.

The Calamity Breath was retreating in steps.

The Calamity was entrenched underground above the Murky Valley and was frantically hoarding and struggling, trying to break through the suppression of the Witch World's bit consciousness. The 4 small Calamity Lords were also beginning to stir, slowly moving towards the battlefield front.

An earth-shattering Armageddon was imminent!

And at this moment, Grim's brow furrowed slightly, vaguely sensing a hint of danger.

At the moment he pounded his chest, preparing to transform into a Flame Giant, a somewhat old and familiar figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the Rift Valley.

"Don't be nervous, little one, I didn't come here to fight with you this time!"

The familiar old face, the familiar plain witch robe, the familiar pointed hat, and the familiar smell of rules... Heck, it was the mysterious old wizard who had once fought with Grim!

He was still dressed in the same outfit, but his breath seemed less solid than last time. Through this, Grim was also becoming more and more certain that this was just a projected bilocation of one of the great wizards.

The old sorcerer hovered in mid-air, poking his head to quietly look down into the Rift Valley. When he sensed the extremely strong calamity scent of those 4 Calamity Little Lords, he couldn't help but have a cold and harsh smile appear on his face.

"Little fellow, let's have a discussion. If I help you deal with these monsters, can you give me the heart of that multi-armed giant?"

"The heart of a multi-armed giant?" Grim retorted strangely.

The other party's size was as small as a mosquito in his eyes, as if a slap could kill it on the spot. However, Grim could sense a majestic and vast magical energy in the other party's body, its energy was simply unprecedented.

Only after the last rules battle, the other party seemed to have suffered too much loss of spiritual energy, and rolling up this magic energy that was absorbed from nowhere appeared to be a bit 'calf pulling a big cart', becoming extremely active and violent and extremely unstable.

"Yes! There were a total of 4 monsters down there, the Multi-Armed Giant and the Ten-Headed Horror Ghosts were of the 5th rank, while the Giant-Winged Serpent Dragon and the Sand Dust Evil Spirit were of the 4th rank. If they were outside the interface, I'm afraid that a collection of wizards from the entire bit would find it difficult to slay one of them, let alone wipe them all out." The old sorcerer sneered heedlessly, "Now that they're brave enough to burrow into the Sorcerer World, we'll just take advantage of their suppressed strength to leave them all behind..."

"That's a 2-headed 5-step and a 2-headed 4-step!" Grim couldn't help but stammer, "Although their strength is greatly reduced, it's impossible to slay them one by one. My ontological attack power may be enough, but my defense is far inferior. If I rush down and get set on fire by them, I'm afraid that I won't be able to carry two rounds and will be blown away by them!"

The old wizard continued to sneer heedlessly.

"Nonsense, I only want to work with you because of the extraordinary power of that 5th stage flame divine technique of yours. As you can see, this is just an elemental billet that I projected into the Sorcerer's Plane, and even if I don't fight to the death today, I can only survive within the Plane for half a year at most. So, with a rare opportunity like this, I'll charge into their ranks later and blow myself up, and with the magical energy I've just sucked out of three witch towers, I'll definitely be able to give them a good look..."

"At that time, a few of the Calamity Little Lords were absolutely either dead or crippled, and with your ability, it's still no problem to slay one or two of them. I don't want much else, I only want the heart of that multi-armed giant, and the rest of the loot goes to you... How about this, is this condition generous enough?"

"Hiss..."

Grim sucked in a breath of cold air, his huge body couldn't help but fall back two steps, looking at the old sorcerer as if he was looking at an even more terrifying monster, the muscles on his face popping even harder.

No wonder the energy atmosphere on his body was so unstable, an elemental billet that was no more than the peak of the 4th stage had gone and sucked up all the magical energy of the three witch towers, and managed to barely maintain them within his small body....

I'm afraid that the old wizard in front of him is more of a monster than the few calamitous little lords below!

In addition, the other party had done so, transforming himself into a super terrifying elemental **, and his purpose was definitely not pure . If he wasn't hunting for the heart of that multi-armed giant, I'm afraid that he would have been more interested in dying with himself....

At the thought of this, even Grim couldn't help but have cold sweat drenching his forehead, once again feeling the hundred and one restrictions and skyrocketing nature of the Great Wizards' actions.

"Will it work or not, give a quick word of pain! This body of mine won't last long..." the old wizard was impatient, "Hey, you're going to refuse, and you know what the consequences are!"

Grim negotiated helplessly, "Give me one more day, I need to prepare something properly. After one day, we'll do it!"

"Okay, one day at a time! It's a deal, after I self-destruct, you keep that multi-armed giant's heart for now, I'll naturally come to you for it afterwards..."

As he spoke, a strange fluctuation in the space around the old sorcerer's body, the entire person disappeared again.

The entire conversation was very concise, and the old wizard's invisibility was even more bizarre, resembling both sorcery and supernatural powers without the slightest elemental fluctuations leaking out. If it wasn't for the wonderful sensing of the rule powers with each other, it would have been difficult for even Grim to detect his presence.

Since he was going to take on the Calamity creatures, Grim really needed to prepare something in advance. Also, before making a move, all of those 4th rank in the central part would have to find a chance to move to the rear, so that they wouldn't be affected.

The central part was full of just this much bone and blood, and after this period of grace, they had gradually bowed to Grim. Therefore, if it's not necessary, it's better not to use them as cannon fodder!

Grim thought grudgingly.
