The Mage of Eternity

Within the secluded forest that isolated the Seven Desert Countries.

There was a stagnant lake near the Kingdom of Shaq.

Rotten branches and leaves covered the lake, and countless bones were scattered all over the lake. The stench of decay assaulted their senses.

It was dark around the lake, and one could not see one’s surroundings clearly.

At this moment, a ” person ” whose face could not be seen clearly walked toward the lake from afar. In the blink of an eye, he arrived above the lake and stepped on it!

“Still not waking up?”

An emotionless voice came out of the mysterious man’s mouth.

In the next moment, the skeletal hand reached out from the rotting lake.

Then, his entire body, a greyish-white skeleton that emitted a stench, rose from the lake.

Above the lake, the mysterious person who was standing in the air quietly took a step back as if he also disliked this smell.

“Dong Lin, you have been eliminated. You should know what your next mission is. There is no need for me to say more, right?”

” Help me level up!” The rotting skeleton was silent for a long time before it slowly opened its mouth.

The mysterious man who was hovering in the air did not answer immediately. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly smiled disdainfully. “Are you negotiating with us?”

As soon as he finished speaking, waves of mournful roars came from around the mysterious person. It was as if a ferocious beast was out of control and was about to charge out.

Dong Lin, who had been resurrected and turned into a rotting skeleton, remained unmoved. He stood above the rotting lake of stagnant water and raised his head to look at his former ‘comrade’.

“I’ll use the secret technique of the spirit endowment to exchange for it.”

“Oh? Are you sure it’s the secret technique to endow the spirit and not the heaven-blessed or god-bestowed endowment technique?”

“Yes!” The rotting Dong Lin skeleton shook his head with a determined expression.” It’s the most mysterious spirit endowment technique-Spirit Awakening!”

” Wait for me!” The mysterious man’s expression suddenly froze. He then said in a serious tone.

Then, waves of indescribable fluctuations spread out from his body.

Dong Lin knew that he was communicating with the organization.

After ten minutes, the fluctuations around the mysterious man who was standing in the air above the stagnant lake disappeared.

“Five years later, you can enter the [Forging Spirit] realm!”

“Forging Spirit? How appropriate.”

Dong Lin muttered to himself. A ray of grey-white light shot out from his head and landed in the hands of the mysterious figure above the lake.

The mysterious man quickly reached out to grab the spiritual light and pondered for a moment.

” Dong Lin, you can make another request. This isn’t from the organization but from me. It’s my present to you.”

” Kill An Kai!” Dong Lin said without hesitation.

” You should understand that your little benefit is not worth me risking my life to enter and be trapped in the Wasteland.”
Dong Lin fell silent. Indeed, it was just as his companion had said. It’s easy to enter the wasteland but not easy to leave.

Just like how he had been trapped in the Wasteland for more than 500 years!

Dong Lin’s organization was different from other organizations.

Everyone in the organization had their own mission. Some wanted to dominate a region, while others wanted to destroy a country on their own.

There were also people who had gone into seclusion. Dong Lin was different, but he also shared some similarities with.

He chose to enter the Wasteland. Even in the organization, it was a rare choice.

Dong Lin had made this choice because he had enough confidence because his ancestors were a branch of the Wasteland.

Thus, Dong Lin’s understanding of the ‘Wasteland’ was higher than that of others.

In the beginning, everything went smoothly. With the help provided by the organization, Dong Lin successfully completed his own arrangements. He also personally participated in the construction and reconstruction of all the cities in the seven kingdoms of the Wasteland, according to the formation passed down in his family.

It was just nearing the final stage.

An Kai, this unreasonable person who was out of Dong Lin’s control, suddenly jumped out.

In the end, Dong Lin’s 500-year-long plan was destroyed, along with the Undead Town he had built.

If it weren’t for the organization’s acknowledgement that An Kai wasn’t a member of the organization, Dong Lin would have thought that An Kai was a representative sent by the organization.

However… An Kai wasn’t part of the organization, so he was even more terrifying to Dong Lin.

Unfortunately, his suggestion was not approved by the organization. In the organization, there was no lack of geniuses and monsters. An existence like An Kai would not attract the attention of the organization.

Dong Lin’s failure led to the abandonment of the organization. After being abandoned by the organization, Dong Lin only had one mission left.

Destruction!

Destroy all traces of his former existence.

This was Dong Lin’s mission and also the final mission given to him by the organization.

The reason why Dong Lin and the others had joined the organization was to walk the path from stage one to stage five again so that they could have a firmer foundation for their future longevity.

The organization would plan the most suitable path for each person according to their situation. Some would fight for hegemony, while others would hide in the mortal world.

Some people presented a charitable face, while others were pure evil existences. They existed in various fields.
