Chapter 1776 - 1195: Liberation Ritual
Unlike the past in the Source World, on the Akasha continent, Reiger only needs to use the [Wish Upon a Star] super-level magic to easily cross dimensions and return to the outside from the Hidden Land.
After all, the Akasha continent is not like the Source World; firstly, it doesn’t have the power of the three holy swords sealing it off; secondly, the outside and the Hidden Land are not like the Source and Abyss, which belong to the inside and outside of a world.
The Source and Abyss are truly separated by a dimension, making entry and exit extremely difficult.
Whereas the Hidden Land is merely a different space; although it is an independent space, it ultimately still depends on the Akasha continent.
Thus, for the Source and Abyss to interact, a great cost is often required, especially after the three holy swords sealed the Abyss, a cost so great that even the Abyss dared to launch merely one large-scale invasion to destroy "that empire".
Such a great cost, such strong barriers, with the power of [Wish Upon a Star], even consuming five full levels of experience value as a price couldn’t easily open a passage between the two.
But it is different between the Akasha continent and the Hidden Land.
It’s merely transferring from a different space to the continent outside; even a temple can accomplish it via a large-scale transfer magic array, Reiger only needs to consume a small amount of experience value, it is something that can be easily done.
Returning to the outside from the Hidden Land is also not as difficult as reaching the Hidden Land from the outside; otherwise, the price Reiger needs to pay could be even larger, but this is ultimately achievable.
One could say, if not for not wasting valuable experience value, back then Reiger could completely not seek the transfer magic array in the Kazafeagle Mountains, and had directly used [Wish Upon a Star] to transfer to the Hidden Land.
Under such circumstances, naturally, upon activating [Wish Upon a Star], Reiger could easily take everyone back to the Akasha continent through wishing.
"Zheng!"
At a certain borderline of the Tistis Kingdom, a magical glow appeared without any premonition.
Reiger, Liz, Yuloli, Charity, and Lilith quickly took form in the magical light and appeared here.
The magical glow accomplished its mission and receded, and Reiger felt the blessing on his back slightly heating as if something was being drawn away.
Reiger knew, this was the sensation caused by the price paid for activating [Wish Upon a Star], the consumption of experience value.
Just as Reiger silently felt the reaction from the blessing on his back, Liz suddenly let out a small gasp.
"What is that?"
The princess’s surprised voice immediately attracted Reiger’s attention.
"This is...?"
Reiger instinctively raised his head, his pupils slightly contracted.
The scene before his eyes, besides the Northern Polar Regions’ endless snow and ice, also had an incredible sight.
The snowstorms that previously often ravaged the entire Northern Polar Regions unexpectedly stopped.
The sky was no longer a white expanse, nor layered with gray clouds, but a boundless blue sky.
However, this boundless sky had seemingly transformed into an invisible lake, now exhibiting rhythmic ripples.
Those ripples resembled some kind of wave, or some kind of tremor, appearing round after round in the sky, quickly spreading outward, gradually expanding towards the entire world.
"What an astonishing power..."
Reiger activated his transparency to gaze into the immense magic power, unbelievable in size.
That magic power was like a surging tide in the sky, sometimes coming from the east, sometimes from the west, sometimes from the south, even appearing in these Northern Polar Regions, and transmitted towards the other three directions.
"What kind of magic is this?" Lilith muttered in shock: "Such enormous magic power, where exactly is it coming from, and what is it intended to trigger?"
Yuloli was also staring intently at the circle after circle of magic ripples in the sky, her gaze imperceptibly growing heavier.
"... Has it already started?"
Among everyone, only Charity remained calm, looking at the sky’s strange spectacle, and uttered this low whisper.
Reiger immediately turned to look at her.
"Is this what you mentioned as caused by the so-called liberation ceremony?"
Reiger asked aloud.
"Probably correct." Charity replied mildly: "Though I haven’t seen what it looks like after the liberation ceremony is triggered, according to the ’Fire Maiden’, once this ceremony officially starts, the whole continent will transform into the venue for the ceremony."
"All the ancient ruins with technological essence that we had reached before, once the ceremony is triggered, will become gigantic ceremonial devices as the base for the liberation ceremony."
"These odd magic ripple phenomena we are seeing now are actually erupting from those ancient ruins."
"The Zinas Kingdom, Leiblu Kingdom, Walker Kingdom, and Tistis Kingdom as well as numerous small countries on the continent, even locations like the Neutral Zone, wherever ancient ruins exist, now these ancient ruins are just like this, erupting with enormous magic power."
"This magic power, at its peak of eruption, will quickly spread in all directions and intersect with the magic ripples spreading from other places."
