“Whoosh.”

Following behind the puppet, Merlin suddenly saw two peculiar zones suspended in the pitch-black void. Among these two zones, one of them was filled with a chilly sensation whereas the other felt earthy.

“We’re here. This is what Master deliberately left behind. It contains Master’s insights from when he consolidated his Maxims. Inside, you’ll witness the evolution of Maxims. Every single transformation of the evolution of spells into Maxims are manifested inside. Back then, Kleis also entered both places, and slowly collected insights for a few months. Merlin, these two places that Master has left behind are merely from his most ordinary Maxim. They’re not his Ultimate Maxim. If you want to receive insights into a more powerful Maxim, you’ll have to pass the second challenge.”

The puppet said cautiously as it pointed toward the two zones.

“Evolution of Maxims?”

Merlin furrowed his brows. He did not know what the evolution of Maxims was supposed to be.

“Correct, evolution of Maxims. It’s okay if you don’t know what is it now. Once you enter, you’ll understand. Nevertheless, I must remind you. Even if you don’t derive any insight from it, you must memorize the evolution process of the Maxims meticulously. The evolution process of a Maxim is highly sought after even in the Void Zone. In fact, if you pass the second challenge, the evolution of an Ultimate Maxim is something that even the Great Legends would fight to get their hands on.”

Upon finishing speaking, the puppet left and disappeared without a trace. Its hiding place was indiscernible.

Merlin took a deep breath and flew toward the earthy zone. Then, he entered it.

“Boom.”

Upon stepping his foot inside, Merlin had sensed that his surroundings had shifted. Before his eyes was an endless Earth Maxim. In this zone, the Earth Maxim was in every corner.

Merlin’s Mind Power examined his surroundings. The Earth Maxim in this place seemed to be circulating continuously. Merlin’s consciousness began to penetrate the Earth Maxim.

It was the evolution process of a Maxim. In the beginning, there were only the Earth Elements. They existed everywhere and floated around in the air like dust. The Earth Elements could not be seen with the naked eye. Only a Spell Caster’s Mind Power could sense it.

Then, the Earth Element was absorbed into the Spell Caster’s body and was converted by the Earth-type Spell Model into Magic Power. Subsequently, the Spell Models grew stronger and stronger, until they eventually fused together as one. At this moment, the Earth-type Magic Power began to undergo a qualitative transformation.

For an unknown period of time, the Earth-type Magic Power was slowly transforming. Then, the Earth-type Magic Power became more solid, just like real earth.

This was the essence of the Earth Element, solidness!

Upon discovering the Essence of Element, the Earth-type Magic Power would soon become a Maxim that was superior to all the Earth Elements.

Merlin carefully watched the entire evolution process of the Earth Maxim. It felt extraordinarily personal. Merlin had never seen the evolution process at such a close-up before.

However, there was an obvious impact. The Earth-type Wizard Heart in Merlin’s body was trembling violently, and he felt a strong urge.

Merlin still remembered that in the beginning, constructing an Earth-type Spell Model was arduous. Later, he gradually fused his Spell Models and consolidated the Earth-type Wizard Heart but he never really understood the Essence of the Earth Element.

Now that he saw the entire evolution process of the Maxim, he seemed to have gained a significant insight. He gently shut his eyes. Currently, the Earth-type Wizard Heart no longer held any secret in Merlin’s eyes.

Merlin had seen a fair share of Maxims but the evolution of a Maxim could not be reenacted by just anyone. If an ordinary Legend were to reenact the evolution of Maxim, there would be a huge price to pay.

The Origin Lord had deliberately left behind the evolution process of Maxim to help Spell Casters. Although he paid a great price, he was able to withstand it.

The evolution of Maxims was indeed immensely beneficial to Spell Casters who were yet to consolidate a Maxim. In fact, it might even increase their chances of consolidating a Maxim.

Currently, Merlin had derived some insights but he did not try to consolidate a Maxim. He was yet to become a Great Wizard. Without consolidating the multi-colored Wizard Heart, it was impossible to consolidate a Maxim.

However, the insights about the Earth Element still brought about a great change for Merlin’s Earth-type Wizard Heart. Previously, the reason Merlin had not been able to fuse the Earth-type Wizard Heart with the Four-Elemental Wizard Heart was precisely due to his lack of understanding of the Earth-type Wizard Heart.

Perhaps he did not fully understand the Earth-type Wizard Heart, a forced fusion would cause the Wizard Heart to collapse. Right now, however, he was very insightful about the Earth-type Wizard Heart. His understanding was secondary only to Great Legends who had consolidated a Maxim.

Merlin gently shut his eyes. Since he had gained some insights, he did not need to forcibly memorize the evolution process of the Earth Maxim. It would naturally be filed away at the deepest part of his brain.

“Hum hum.”

Soon, in Merlin’s Awareness, the Four-Elemental Wizard Heart and the Earth-type Wizard Heart began to tremble and edged closer to one another. This was a very natural reaction that Merlin did not even have to activate by force. The time was right!

“Fuse!”

In Merlin’s mind, he replayed the entire evolution process of the Earth Maxim. It felt extremely personal, almost as if it had happened to him.

Thus, he gained a comprehensive understanding of the Earth-type Wizard Heart. When the two Wizard Hearts came together, his entire Awareness shook. They fused very quickly.

This time, the two Wizard Hearts did not vibrate precariously like the last time. In his last fusion attempt, the moment the two Wizard Hearts got nearer, they seemed ready to collapse.

The Four-Elemental Wizard Heart was now incredibly powerful and was practically engulfing the Earth-type Wizard Heart. In fact, in the process of combining a Wizard Heart, once one side became more dominant, it would no longer be a fusion. Instead, it would almost be an engulfment. The more powerful Wizard Heart would engulf the weaker Wizard Heart.

The only difference was whether the Spell Caster could maintain control over the weaker Wizard Heart. If he could not control it, the Wizard Heart would collapse, and the fusion would fail.

Therefore, it was because Merlin watched the evolution of Maxim here that he gained an understanding of Earth Elements and was able to fully control the Earth-type Wizard Heart. This was why the fusion went so smoothly.

“Boom.”

The fusion process only took up a few hours and was perfectly fused. At this moment, Merlin’s Wizard Heart was further strengthened. This powerful feeling made Merlin feel like he could tear apart the Earth Maxim willfully.

Bearing in mind this was a Maxim that belonged to a Great Lord!

Although this Maxim was not comparable to an Ultimate Maxim, it was still a Maxim of a Great Lord. Hence, it was far more powerful than an average Legend’s Maxim. The fact that Merlin could entertain the thought of tearing apart this Maxim shed light on the might of his Five-Element Wizard Heart.

Maxims of the same type could be either strong or weak. Other than achieving an Ultimate Maxim and becoming an Honored Legend, a Maxim could range from strong to weak.

The Maxim left behind by the Origin Lord was fast approaching the level of an Ultimate Maxim. This Maxim was so tremendously powerful that Merlin’s Four-Elemental Heart before this could not tear it.

Coming to this thought, an eagerness sparked in Merlin’s heart. Abruptly, he opened his eyes and stood up. Then, his hands stretched forward and grabbed.

“Swoosh.”

The newly-consolidated Five-Elemental Wizard Heart immediately coalesced into two giant hands that forcefully grabbed the Earth Maxim.

“Skrak.”

The giant hand conjured by Merlin’s Five-Elemental Wizard Heart clutched the Earth Maxim and tore with all his might. In an instant, the originally rock-solid Maxim had been torn apart, and the entire subspace shook.

“What happened?”

The mysterious puppet from before appeared in a flash. It stared anxiously at the Earth Maxim evolution zone where Merlin was in. A look of astonishment lit up on its ice-cold face.
