"You had already anticipated that Dark Throne wouldn't let this go, didn't you?"
In the reception hall of Starlight Sky City, Meisha gazed at Su Nan with a knowing smile, her eyes sharp and piercing.
Su Nan smiled faintly. "The Black Wizard factions have always been the type to take advantage of others but never allow themselves to be taken advantage of. Dark Throne suffered a significant loss, with others encroaching on their Plane cluster. It would be strange if they could swallow that anger. Don't tell me you didn't foresee this situation."
Meisha smiled without responding.
In fact, it was clear to everyone that this incident was entirely an opportunity for the Order-aligned factions to weaken the Black Wizard forces.
Although the Black Wizards were displeased, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree in order to quickly resolve the Ancient Insect calamity.
Moreover, until the Ancient Insect calamity was over, Dark Throne couldn't reclaim that one-third of their territory.
And Dark Throne's decision to break their promise was also within most people's expectations.
Such behavior was all too typical for the Black Wizard factions!
Meisha also knew that the Star Alliance must have been preparing for this day. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted so swiftly the moment Dark Throne launched their attack.
"Do you have confidence in defeating Dark Throne?"
"Who can say for sure in matters of war?" Su Nan shrugged. "After all, our opponent is one of the major Wizard factions."
Meisha shot him a reproachful glance. From his demeanor, there wasn't a trace of worry or seriousness—he clearly had confidence.
"If you need help, don't hesitate to ask," Meisha said. "The Wisdom Codex would be happy to provide some resources to the Star Alliance at internal prices."
"Thank you," Su Nan nodded with a smile.
It was clear that the Wisdom Codex also wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate a competitor from the Black Wizard faction.
While they couldn't openly participate in the war to avoid provoking a fierce reaction from the Black Wizards, covert support was perfectly fine.
"The Star Alliance should still leave a portion of its forces in the Ancient Insect Plane to avoid giving the Black Wizards a reason to act."
"That's easy to handle. I won't redeploy the Star Alliance Legions from the Ancient Insect Plane."
The attitude of the Wisdom Codex reflected the stance of the entire Order-aligned factions.
After reaching a tacit understanding with the Wisdom Codex, the Star Alliance could fully focus on dealing with Dark Throne.
In the year 8902 of the Starlight Calendar, Dark Throne and the Star Alliance erupted into a fierce war over the Moonlit Plane cluster.
Both sides poured almost all of their forces into the conflict.
As an established major Wizard faction, Dark Throne had deep reserves. Even after suffering heavy losses in the Ancient Insect War, including the destruction of one Sky City, they still demonstrated formidable strength by deploying two Sky Cities at once.
In contrast, the Star Alliance had only one Sky City.
Facing two with one, the outcome seemed predictable.
However, the result left many stunned.
The Star Alliance's Sky City held its ground against two, not falling behind.
But what was even more shocking was the overwhelming power Su Nan displayed in this battle.
The two Throne Wizards of Dark Throne joined forces, yet they couldn't overcome Su Nan.
After a series of clashes, the battle ended in a draw.
These were two veteran sixth-level Wizards!
After this battle, Su Nan's reputation soared, and he was recognized as one of the Multiverse's top-tier great beings.
In the year 9234 of the Starlight Calendar, Dark Throne and the Star Alliance gathered their armies for a decisive battle on the main front. After more than two months of intense fighting, Dark Throne retreated.
The Star Alliance pressed their advantage, capturing over a dozen Planes in one go.
After this battle, Dark Throne's decline began to show.
In the year 9450 of the Starlight Calendar, the United Front Alliance completely occupied the Ancient Insect Plane, driving the Ancient Insects out of the Multiverse and jointly sealing the spatial passage.
With this, the Ancient Insect calamity, which had lasted over four thousand years, finally came to an end.
However, many factions had no time to celebrate, as they turned their attention to the Moonlit Plane.
With the end of the Ancient Insect calamity, the war between Dark Throne and the Star Alliance was also nearing its conclusion.
In the year 9534 of the Starlight Calendar, the Star Alliance army advanced to the Moonlit Plane. The two Throne Wizards of Dark Throne once again faced Su Nan in battle, but this time, Su Nan killed them on the spot.
Dark Throne's headquarters, the City of Eternal Night, was subsequently breached.
The news sent shockwaves throughout the Multiverse.
The long-standing Dark Throne was declared extinct, replaced by a new major Wizard faction.
Everyone knew that the Star Alliance's rise to the top tier of the Multiverse was now a certainty.
Moonlit Plane, City of Eternal Night.
The massive city, with its black theme, loomed like a dark mountain on the plain. Tens of thousands of golems moved in and out, working to transform the entire city.
Above the city, Starlight Sky City hovered.
At the top of the Central Crystal Tower, Su Nan looked down at the scene below, a faint smile on his face.
The Ancient Insect calamity was over, and the Moonlit Plane cluster had been conquered. Now was the time for steady development, as the Star Alliance focused on fully digesting the fruits of war.
Once they fully controlled the Moonlit Plane cluster, the Star Alliance would solidify its position as a major Wizard faction.
"The Law of Thunder is nearing 400 energy levels. In at most two thousand years, it should reach the Dominance level, and then I can focus entirely on breaking through."
Above the True Spirit Wizard lies the Sovereign Wizard.
A Wizard who fuses their True Spirit with the rules they've mastered, forming an internal Plane, can ascend to the Sovereign level.
Wizards at this level are equivalent to a Plane themselves, immortal and possessing power beyond the imagination of ordinary Wizards.
The last Sovereign Wizard appeared in the Old Era.
However, during the great war that marked the transition between the Old and New Eras, all Sovereign Wizards perished.
Since the New Era, no True Spirit Wizard has reached this level.
To ascend to the Sovereign level, the more types of rules one masters, the better, and it's ideal to have one's own semi-Plane.
When fusing the True Spirit with rules, having a semi-Plane as a foundation can at least double the chances of success.
Thus, many sixth-level Wizards strive to create their own semi-Planes.
Su Nan was no exception.
He was already making arrangements for this.
Although he had become one of the Multiverse's top-tier beings, the path of a Wizard in pursuit of truth and power was long. He wouldn't stop here but would continue to strive for even greater heights.
The same was true for the Star Alliance's development.
The appearance of the Ancient Insects, while bringing heavy damage to the Multiverse, also revealed new opportunities.
The spatial passage in the Ancient Insect Plane was a gateway to another Multiverse.
Su Nan knew that while all factions were currently recovering from the war, once they regained their strength, they would undoubtedly reopen the spatial passage and launch an invasion into the other Multiverse.
This would be both revenge and expansion.
When that ti
me came, the Star Alliance would also join in.
With the Synthesis Rubik's Cube, Su Nan believed that both he and the Star Alliance would eventually reach the pinnacle of the boundless universe.
