Chapter 362 Enlightenment
"What is that! ?"
Seeing the emerald green pillar of light soaring into the sky, Vivian's first reaction was to pull Jia Na and quickly run towards Turin City.
Jia Na, who also saw the pillar of light, did not react as strongly as Vivian. Instead, she kept turning her head, looking somewhat lost towards the Academy.
"This is—the aura of Life."
Under Vivian's urging, Jia Na also successfully arrived at Turin City with the main group.
After being doubly baptized by dark sun contamination and plague, Turin City at that time had long lost its former splendor. Although it was the height of summer,
all the leaves on all the trees in Turin City had already withered away.
Even the tree trunks showed signs of decay, completely devoid of Life.
"Jia Na, you should go hide at my house first. As long as my father is there, he can definitely ensure your safety."
As Turin City was in deep crisis, the major Wizard Families had already set off the day before, hiding in their family's Secret Realm.
For example, the Rose Family, led by Hermann-Rose, had all the people of Rose Manor moved into the Extreme Cold Secret Realm in advance.
The reason Vivian did not follow her family to the Secret Realm, besides her own personal wishes, was also because Hermann-Rose himself suggested that she should not leave White Coral Academy for now. "No need, Vivian, I'll stay here."
After politely declining Vivian's suggestion, Jia Na continued to cast her gaze towards the emerald green pillar of light soaring into the sky above White Coral Academy.
Vivian, who was rejected by Jia Na, just shrugged helplessly, and then, following the other party's wishes, stayed in Turin City South District.
"La la...—"
Just as Jia Na continued to use the Mental Perception wizardry to comprehend the Life energy emanating from the emerald green pillar of light, suddenly,
a singing voice, as if from the void, appeared by Jia Na's ear.
"Vivian, did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
Vivian, who had just cast a spell behind her to freeze two ice-sculpted chairs, was momentarily stunned when she heard Jia Na's sudden question.
"Singing."
"Singing?"
Hearing Jia Na's answer, Vivian's expression grew even more puzzled.
"I didn't hear any singing. Did you mishear—"
Vivian, thinking that Jia Na was experiencing auditory hallucinations due to extreme fatigue, was about to pull her to sit on the ice chair when she immediately stopped her movements and quickly retreated.
"What are you doing?"
Bell-Moonshadow, who had just settled the residents of the South District, was about to look for Jia Na when she saw Vivian, who had been standing next to Jia Na, quickly retreat, almost bumping into her.
"Don't make a sound. Jia Na seems to have entered some kind of enlightened state."
"Enlightenment?"
Hearing Vivian's explanation, a hint of surprise also flashed in Bell-Moonshadow's eyes. Immediately, thick fog rose, and under Bell-Moonshadow's control, an isolation barrier made of thick fog gathered around Jia Na.
However, before the isolation barrier could fully form, a surging torrent of energy, like a flood impacting a dam, directly dispersed the mist.
"It's useless—I just ran this far to avoid the violent magic power around her."
As Vivian said, just as she was about to pull Jia Na to sit on the ice chair, a terrifying magic power field that made Vivian's hair stand on end suddenly appeared around Jia Na.
The Ke Shi Na Royal Serpent bloodline's instinctive perception of danger made Vivian not hesitate at all, jumping directly to a distance of ten meters from Jia Na before finally stopping.
"If I'm not mistaken, what's happening around Jia Na isn't just ordinary magic power riot, but rather an outward manifestation of a Law power."
"You said—Law?"
Hearing Bell-Moonshadow's words, Vivian's brows furrowed. Then, as if she had thought of something, she turned her head and stared intently at Bell-Moonshadow.
"You can feel the power of Law?"
"No."
Upon hearing this, Vivian breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost thought that Bell-Moonshadow, like Jia Na, had also comprehended the power of Law.
Although Vivian had already chosen the Bloodline Warlock path for promotion, as one of her hypothetical enemies, Vivian sincerely did not want the other party to surpass her.
"What are you two doing gathered here?"
Hugh-Stone and Malo-Haige, who had also finished settling the residents of Turin City, walked over when they saw Vivian and Bell-Moonshadow, as well as Jia Na in the distance.
"Of course, we're guarding Jia Na—?"
Looking at Hugh-Stone and Malo-Haige walking towards her, Vivian replied indifferently. However, before she could finish speaking, the surrounding strange phenomenon successfully attracted the attention of Vivian and the other three.
"The trees—they've come back to Life?"
The trees that had clearly withered and died, at this moment, surprisingly sprouted new branches and leaves, growing emerald green foliage.
"La la—la la la—"
At the same time, Jia Na, whose attention was completely drawn by the singing voice from the void, entered a state of complete detachment, forgetting herself and her surroundings.
It was as if a call from the depths of her soul. As the singing became clearer and clearer, a sense of familiar déjà vu constantly filled Jia Na's heart.
"This is his voice."
After a brief discernment, Jia Na quickly recognized the owner of the singing voice: it was Evefresia, who often appeared in Jia Na's dreams.
As for why the singing voice appeared out of thin air, Jia Na guessed it might be related to the "finger bone" that emitted strong Life energy fluctuations.
"Could it be that the owner of that 'finger bone' is actually—?"
Thinking of this possibility, Jia Na felt a sense of absurdity about her own guess.
However, associating this with the various strange occurrences within the Magic Tower Barrier, this conjecture instead gave Jia Na a sense of clear understanding that it was indeed true.
"With the Nature and Life Law wielder having fallen, it's highly abnormal that Life can still be sustained within the Magic Tower Barrier—."
Due to the influence of the dark sun, all living beings outside the Magic Tower Barrier were severely contaminated.
Just like those trees obscured by illusory appearances, they were already as dead as can be.
However, inside the Magic Tower Barrier, all the trees showed no signs of Life dying off. Instead, they maintained vibrant vitality throughout the changing seasons. "Ding—" Just as Jia Na fell into deep thought, a familiar system prompt suddenly sounded in Jia Na's mind—
