On a slightly barren plain, the forests were sparse, the vegetation was not rich, and the weather was unusually cold. A group of green-skinned goblins were noisily rushing through the jungle, chasing a wild boar.
All of the goblins were waving spears in their hands. However, they looked as if they were not hunting, but were rather involved in some grand dance.
“Ah ah ah ah!”
“Lu Gai! Lu Gai!”
The goblins shouted in a meaningless language. Although they had started to record their language, there was still a long way to go before their language system was perfected.
Dressed in leather skirts, they rushed at the wild boar with wide steps. At this time, a giant monster emerged from the forest.
The monster was carrying a huge stone hammer, which it used to smash the boar to death! As the monster roared in triumph, other giant monsters rushed out of the forest with heavy steps. Seeing this terrifying scene, the goblins immediately dispersed.
More than 200 years had passed since the birth of the first goblin. The normal lifespan of the average goblin was about 60 years, which was much lower than the lifespans of human beings.
There had already been 20 generations of goblins. This was because their fertility was much stronger than human beings’. A goblin could give birth to three to six pups at one time. This strong fertility enabled them to occupy the entire plain and beyond.
However, they were not the overlords of this plain. Instead, it was the giant monsters who had dominion here. In the forest, in addition to a large number of magical beasts and monsters, there was a kind of creature called the dwarfs, who often clashed with the goblins. This was because the dwarfs posed a threat to the survival of the goblins.
In addition to giant monsters, dwarfs, and magical beasts, in the southern forests, the goblins encountered a peculiar group of fairies. Fairies, like giant monsters and magical beasts, could use magic.
Goblins called the forest that the fairies stayed in the Forest of Fairies. In addition, in the depths of the woods, there were all kinds of strange things. All kinds of unknown creatures, each species of which had a high degree of wisdom and a variety of magical powers.
The goblins called the land underfoot the Titan Continent. At present, the goblins had only begun to form a rudimentary language that consisted of very basic words.
But, according to their ancestors’ stories, the world was created by a powerful titan who was as tall as a mountain. He created everything in the world. Moreover, the goblins, the giant monsters, and the dwarfs were the direct descendants of this titan!
Compared with other species, goblins and dwarfs did not have any extraordinary powers. Thus, they did not have any advantages over the others. As such, they had to make a variety of tools and weapons in order to protect themselves.
Goblins used obsidian to forge weapons and stone to build appliances and houses. The dwarfs living in the mines begun to melt copper ore to produce copper tools. Their disadvantage forced them to arm themselves with wisdom.
“They are really talented. At this early stage, they’ve already learned how to make and use tools so quickly! That is much faster than the human beings.” Lu Zhiyu was impressed with the goblins.
At present, most intelligent creatures on the Titan Continent lived in the Starsoul World. The name of the continent had been decided by the goblins.
Lu Zhiyu did not realize that, when the first goblin saw him at its birth, it remembered him as being a giant. Then, this became a popular legend that was told to all of the following generations of goblins!
Nowadays, this world had more diverse species than even Maria’s World, which only had humans and orcs.
On the plain of the Titan Continent, clashes between goblins, giant monsters, dwarfs and fairies often took place. After Lu Zhiyu made sure that there were no major problems in the life system he created, he did not pay much attention to it, deciding to let it develop on its own.
When Lu Zhiyu made goblins and dwarfs, they did not have any special abilities. However, Lu Zhiyu did make them highly talented in manufacturing and creating vital things, which was a skill that even exceeded human beings. Although they did not have the extraordinary abilities like other species, they were considered to be full of potential in Lu Zhiyu’s eyes.
At this stage, this standard model of this world was almost complete. However, since the remaining continents and oceans still needed a lot of improvements, the semi-perpetual machine couldn’t stop running yet.
Seeing this, Lu Zhiyu left Starsoul World, as the world had basically been completed. So, Lu Zhiyu had to start preparing for other things. Specifically, it was time to fulfill his promise to Catherine.
Lu Zhiyu planned to let the wizards who were reluctant to leave Maria’s World immigrate here. In this world, without the constraints of gods and various conditions to restrict the development of wizards, they would be able to fully develop their potentials.
What exactly will the wizard civilization look like?
Compared with the Starsoul World, which one will be better?
Lu Zhiyu was concerned about the future of the wizards.

Yala, Maria’s World
On the shore of the Lake of Life, a large number of elves were watching a ceremony. The elves and the elf wizards in the Sylve Empire, as well as the elf Queen Wendy and Wolfe were all present.
The city of Sylve was about to have a comprehensive foundation reconstruction. The Lake of Life would be reconstructed into a water source for the wizards. The Sylve Empire was going to transform the whole city of Sylve into a city of witchcraft!
The altar, which was originally between the Tree of Life and the Lake of Life, had to be relocated. As it was the oldest altar of the elves, the elves hosted a grand ceremony before it was relocated. As it was such a special event, the Queen and all of the high-ranking officials of the elf empire were present.
Among the ancient legends of the elves, the altar was the oldest relic in Sylve. It was said that the secret of the origin of the elves was within it. Some also said that the secret of the altar was somehow related to the agreement between the elves and the Lord of Natural Order.
But, most of the elves believed that it was only an old altar and that the Lord of Natural Order had gradually become a mere symbol of Sylve, rather than a solid and true belief.
“Be careful! It’s a relic that was left by our ancestors. Be respectful!” Some of the elves were not satisfied with the relocation project.
At the moment, flagstones were being pried open, revealing decayed and scattered coffins. All of the elves present were curious, so they surrounded the workers to see what was in the altar.
The officials and wizards of the Sylve Empire looked at the bottom of the altar. Each of them had grown up listening to the legends about the altar and the elves, and now, everyone was filled with curiosity! But suddenly, all of the elves and elf wizards gasped and stared in shock…
“Isn’t this a wizard servant?” An elf wizard immediately recognized the servant inside and asked.
“A wizard servant?” Windy frowned. “Whose prank is this? How can it appear in our altar?”
More elves were also making angry comments. After all, the altar was still very important to the elves of the Sylve Empire. This was their ancestral land, where they believed that their oldest ancestors’ bones were buried.
Now, it had become the location of the remains of some silly and humble wizard servants. None of the elves could accept such a thing!
Wendy, the Queen of the elves, had a better understanding of the legend of the altar. It was said that the altar was the tomb of the Lord of Natural Order, who had created the elves.
Wolfe stood beside the Elf Queen Wendy, a look of horror on his face. “How can this be? The emergence of wizard servants and the rise of wizards only happened a few hundred years ago, and here, it can be traced back to the era of the birth of the elves, so how can they appear here?”
“Whose prank is this?” A senior Druid raised his wand in anger, while looking around.
Wendy looked at the corpse in the altar. It was like an armored shell. Even after such a long time, it had still not decayed.
“How could this be? No one has ever moved anything here, as it’s a sacred burial ground. But, how could the servants bury themselves in our altar and allow themselves to be unknowingly worshiped by us? They shouldn’t be here!” A wizard still couldn’t believe that this was real!
“A wizard servant is a bloodline-transformed creature that was created by my mentor, the cultivation method of which started to spread from the wizard tower only a hundred years ago…” When Wendy said this, she stopped abruptly, as if she had just thought of something. She then started murmuring…
“How could it be?”
“How could it be possible?
“How could this be?”
She kept repeating those same questions. Her eyes was full of fear, doubt, and shock. She looked at the altar and felt that the world had become illusory amid the sunshine.
“The god? The altar? The Lord of Natural Order?” While she was still murmuring, Wendy looked back at all of this and suddenly felt that the world was spinning and becoming unreal.
As Wendy looked again at the prized altar, her wand fell to the ground. She felt like she had just discovered something…
Wolfe looked at Wendy, confusion filling his voice. “What’s wrong? Wendy?”
Wendy had a sad smile on her face as she said, “I’m just… I just don’t feel very well! Ha ha ha ha… All this… What the heck is going on? This world! Ha ha! Is it all a game or a hoax?”
Wendy’s words made everyone feel very confused. As they all watched her, completely perplexed, she staggered back to the palace. As they watched her retreating form, they all thought that she looked so lonely.
