As Tandari shouted in berserk, the sky above Lange City that was initially quietly flowing with winds and clouds suddenly became turmoiled. Hurricane roared and shattered the clouds, sweeping the billowing clouds into a formation that seemed to be able to envelop the entire sky and earth. Then, a vast city that was surrounded by lakes and seas appeared in the gushes of the green flow of winds.

The city in the cloud looked precisely like the Lange City, but a kind of indescribable dead silence was being emitted out of it. It gradually descended from the sky like it would crush the city on the ground.

At the same time, countless complicated runes began to faintly show in on the streets of Lange City that reflected each other with the city of the cloud. Echoing with the colossal city descending from the sky, faint brilliance flickering continuously.

Looking through the crystal ceiling of the study room, Zhang Lisheng, who looked like he was well-prepared, had a subtle change of expression on his face.

“I can’t believe that I’ll play this ‘good card’ in the end, Wizard Li Majesty!” Looking at the young man’s more and more dignified expression, Tandari shouted as he laughed maniacally, “After Yassen’s ‘artillery infantry squad’ won the century-old war with Fran, my position in the hearts of the people was in no way inferior to that of the great Dignity King! Inspiration with the reverence of hundreds of millions of people, I painted a rune full of divine power in Lange City. With this as the beginning, I finally relied on alchemy formation as a medium to create the most brilliant work in my life! The embryonic form of my divine kingdom—the City of Cloud. When it appears, the sky and earth of the Lange City will become my celestial kingdom’s territory. That’s right! It needs a little preparation time to show itself from its invisible state. Speaking of it, I’d like to thank you for asking so many questions and giving me a chance to take a final plunge…”

“Lord Tandari, you’ve actually created the embryonic form of your divine kingdom. This has indeed greatly exceeded my expectations,” Zhang Lisheng had had a premonition that the alchemist would resolutely launch a fight of death with himself after venting out his anger, so he interrupted. “Looks like you were modesty when you said that you have a mediocre brain and only relied on a lot of contemplation and arduous hard work to become a demigod. However, I really can’t understand why a smart person like you is so extreme in personality. I just came…”

“No matter what your initial purpose is, Your Majesty, you’ve started to have the idea of ​​usurping my ability after hearing my power,” Tandari said gloomily with his eyes blood-shot, “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have become so overcome with emotions just now. I can tell from your expressions and words that my ability to manipulate the elements of fire must have a special meaning for you.”

“Tandari, you’ve guessed correctly. Flame manipulation is indeed the divine attribute that I am most eager to get, but I don’t have to rely on killing you to snatch it away like a robber…”

“Stop insulting my wisdom, Wizard Li. I’ve already had a sense of priority in the control of divine power. You will never allow me to live, never…” Tandari snarled and activated the divine power in his entire body. His flushed face turned into a pale green as his body began to become blurry and illusory, like a water curtain projection that was blown by the intense hurricane.

Upon seeing that the alchemist was not moved by his own lies, Zhang Lisheng sighed and had no choice but to remove the scale belt from his waist while doing giving his last try, “Mr. Tandari, since you have predicted your own destiny, I will not lie to you anymore. I’ll not tolerate the existence of any ‘divine creatures’ other than myself in the Gaia World. Your death is inevitable, but if you’re not so extreme, you can exchange that for a lot of my gratitude. Oh, by the way, don’t you love your daughter very much? Do you want to take away her life now? Calm down, I will give you a happy death and guarantee that her future life will be happier than any princess on the mainland, oh, respected…”

Before the young man could finish his temptation, the study room’s door was opened from the outside using a key. Mosha ran in panic. “Dad, fast, there is a storm that we have never seen coming from outside. Everyone is heading to the cellar…”

However, her remaining words were lodged in her throat when she saw the ferocious and peculiar image of her father.

“Look, at such a precious time, your daughter still wants to take risks with you, such a well-behaved, filial child. Do you really want to tear her into pieces?” Zhang Lisheng took the opportunity to point at the girl.

At this moment, the city at the cloud that was transformed by the hurricane was only several dozens meters away from the ground and started to suck the howling pedestrians who could not dodge in time on the streets into the air, transforming into a meat puddle of fresh red and pinkish white.

In the roaring wind, Tandari looked back at his pale-faced daughter, who was standing at the door with a melancholic and tender expression on his face. Reaching out a hand, he seemingly wanted to pull her into his arms, but his face gradually faded in upon seeing her fear instead. Just as she was about to run into his embrace, he abruptly turned around without warning.

The alchemist’s face became ferocious and manic again as he issued a final resolute roar at Zhang Lisheng, “The demigod is also an extraordinary existence, so what is there in the mortal world that can’t be abandoned at all?! Since you want to take my life, then let us die together in my divine kingdom…”

The alchemist offered his life and body as a sacrifice to his own embryonic divine kingdom and violently crashed into the ground.

At that instant, the wind roaring in the city of the cloud grew still at once. After it fell from the sky and overlapped with Lange City, it finally resonated faintly in “pa—” before starting to flow and spread out again.

The city of cloud slowly shattered and transformed into a seemingly soft cyan airflow that brushed across the streets, ripping everything that it encountered in its pathway into pieces. In just a short span of a few minutes, it wiped out the cities, mining areas, and millions of people in the surrounding hundreds of kilometers, forming a huge pit with a diameter of several dozens of kilometers.

When the dust finally settled, the cyan wind transformed by the crumbled city of cloud spread out to its ultimate, vast expanse of leather in the crater. It suddenly rose from the dust and rolled up to wrap everything up.

At the same time, the statues in the ten thousands of Wizard Li temple on the entire Green Leaf Mainland, and the towering stone pillars in the Hellfire Archipelago began to ignite in a brilliant yellow, red, and blue hues in unison. The brilliance gushed into the sky and spread out to intertwine with each other, forming an outline of a vast human-headed snake totem.

Under the totem, a bloody figure staggeringly stood up from the huge pit that was formerly the Lange City. It gradually recovered its form in the turbid water flow in the air and the nourishment from the mud gushing up and steadily formed into the shape of Zhang Lisheng.

“The shattering of a divine kingdom is really horrifying. Just the suicide attack of a demigod alone was enough to inflict serious injuries on me,” The muddy water turned into clothes on the Wizard Li Gods’ body as he muttered in Earth’s Mandarin language with a lingering fear, “Had the gain been minimal, I’d have just crushed him to death directly already.”

As he was speaking, the scaled leather that had rolled into a ball in the air shrank rapidly and gradually floated down. The young man reached with a hand, and at once, he felt his body stiffening right away. A powerful and weak, cool, and warm, power was transmitted from the leather to his body.

As the two forces swam in the flesh and blood of the Wizard Li God, his figure unconsciously grew bigger. His feet stuck together to become a snake tail while red, blue, and yellow scales appeared on his body. Then, the scales on his body began to lit up with vivid colors and faint firelight.

At the same time, intense green and faint fire red color also started to appear in the brilliance emitted by the statues in the 10,000 temples on the Green Leaf Mainland and the totem poles on the Hellfire Archipelago.

After a long time, Zhang Lisheng’s body trembled as an ecstatic expression crept upon his face. Gently rubbing the scales in his hand, he began to laugh loudly more and more smugly. “Tandari had indeed managed to trace back the bloodline of the ancient wind god through alchemy and mastered the inheritance of the ancient god of the wind. Not only that, but he had also gained some power to manipulate the flame. What a genius! He’s really a genius! Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time and encountered me. Everything that he possessed was now drifted away with his life, and his divine kingdom was shattered and looted by the Leather World, allowing his enemy’s world to become even more perfect and obtained the ability to manipulate ‘wind’ and ‘fire’! Hahahaha…”

He longingly savored the changes in the Leather World. The new addition of fire and wind elements allowed the sometimes hot, sometimes cold temperature to become controllable. The steaming water vapor no longer dissipated for no reason, but it would form a humid airflow that dropped from the sky to into a cloud that would turn into raindrops in succession, making the land to no longer dry up and forming a natural cycle, which in turn made the entire ‘world’ environment to improve faster than before. Zhang Lisheng stood absent-minded the whole time until the paladin from the surrounding cities gathered in the ruins of the Lange City that he finally retrieved the scaled leather and tied it at his waist.

After that, he waved his hand to summon a hurricane to take himself up the sky. Looking down at the ground, he savored the wind around his body and whispered, “Compared to the ability to manipulate ‘soil’ and ‘water,’ I’m basically a mess in manipulating the wind element. I believe I’d be terrible at manipulating the fire element too. Hopefully, my control of these two powers can be significantly improved through the absorbing of power of faith…”

At the same time, he relied on his unusually sharp eyesight and searched for the nearest airship station. Soon, he disappeared into the distant sky…

In the next three months, the young man led the Wizard Li army to defeat the Atandin Dynasty, wiping out the last obstacle between his plan of devouring the Green Leaf Mainland. At the same time, by relying on the nourishment from the power of faith, he continuously improved his ability to control ‘wind’ and ‘fire.’

Unfortunately, the improvement of the power of fire element manipulation had reached its peak in just a few dozen days, so it could no longer be improved anymore. Perhaps it was similar to the dead alchemist.

Fortunately, his control over the wind element was progressing fast and seemed to have been endless. Very soon, he added a new spellcasting power to the Wizard Li high priests, but even so, it would take more than ten years if he wanted to achieve a balance with the ‘water’ and ‘earth’ power.

After realizing that it was impossible to find a balance between his divine power overnight, Zhang Lisheng began to fill his own world with living creatures. In just ten days, he had already traveled all over the mainland and absorbed countless species into his Leather World. The divine kingdom that was established after the natural circulation system was built did not let him down. In the end, the animal and plant species that eventually survived were more than a thousand times more than before.

At this point, the fruit of plundering the alchemist had finally been digested. The theocracy ruling shrouding the entire Green Leaf Mainland had been established as well. By just relying on weapons and magical powers far beyond the times, his believers could carry out the conquest of other mainlands by themselves after the theocracy was stabilized. At once, Zhang Lisheng, who had nothing to do now, began to unwittingly turn his attention back to earth.
