...

Boiling lava and fiery red light formed the only luster of the Lava World. And yet, even under this dazzling redness, life was growing stubbornly.

There were stubborn grassland, and little steel trees filled the area, along with vegetation whose leaves had jagged edges. A few slender channels of lava could be seen every once in a while, flowing past like little streams in the grasslands. Yet, they could not harm the area at all.

The plants that were like grass that had their roots firmly and deeply in the ground, even boring into the lava and absorbing its energy for their growth.

"You-How dare you! His Majesty won't let you"

"Too much nonsense!" Leylin cold voice rang as he killed the first speaker in cold blood. His attack shook the sky and earth but strangely no aura was emitted outside as Leylin has already isolated the space.

Leylin body was emitting dark orange flames as a breath taking Vermilion Bird shadow was behind him. The shadow looked extremely live like and it held a shining prestige and an unyielding pride.

Leylin looked around him, he was in a magnum cave with a river flowing with scorching lava. There were numerous dead bodies all around him, all of these bodies were of elemental beings or lava organisms and each looked as if all vitality was sucked out of them.

In the center of the mountains of corpses, a gigantic element beast was laying down with gaping holes all over the body, right before Leylin. This was the one who was screaming and threatening Leylin, unexpectedly the undulation emitted from his copse was of Star rank!

This world naturally did not have the same classification system as the Magus World, but several beings with extraordinary strength still existed here, though the differences in ranking were not as distinct.

Individuals who had exemplary abilities only had a few divisions. Exemplary, Earth, Sky, Star!

'Exemplary' referred to knights and acolytes, and they were beings which possessed the slightest bit of extraordinary strength. They were the lowest stratum. Earth referred to the equivalents of official Magi, or perhaps those who could reach rank 2. Similarly, Sky were the strong ones, as strong as rank 3! And those of Star rank were beings who existed in legends and myths, and were on par with the Magus World's Morning Star Magi.

One such legendary being was slayed easily by Leylin, as he was devouring the sentient force and using the A. I. Chip to fulfill his goals.

Over five years of progress and the addition of a large amount of information on the soul Leylin acquired from Sky City, the A.I. Chip's analysis on the soul and it's application had reached a whole new level.

He could perform many unbelievable deductions and integrations.

Things like altering the soul undulations being emitted by him were only one part of it. The concentration of fire elemental particles is the highest here. If Leylin modify the spell models of the Magus World, He would achieve an even more astounding bonus to his power but he didn't took that route only rather he went a step further.

As the huge corpse in the center was shrinking, Leylin aura had already begun to change. A dim layer of light flickered into existence and quickly covered his body, his soul undulation were covered as if some put a film on them. The entire space seemed to distort for a while, but at the same time, it seemed as if nothing has happened.

Leylin suddenly sighed deeply, and his body seemed to incorporate itself seamlessly into the surroundings.

"Finally! The spying of the World will is definitely a hassle but now, I don't need to worry." he sighed, tone showing his relief.

The protector of Lava world is similar to the consciousness of Gaia, and not some living being. If not, Leylin wouldn't have been able to dupe them so easily.

After travelling to another world, there was an issue of how to deal with the ill intent from the world.

The undulations of Morning Star Magi were as obvious as a lit torch in the darkness. It would definitely attract the attention of the world, and things would be even more troublesome in a world that was not their own.

If someone completely infuriated the World Will, it was like inviting a god of death to their side. It would bring about unceasing bad luck.

Even Morning Star Magi would be played to death, forget anyone else.

Leylin's aura changed, and he was now just like the occupants of this world, not standing out in the least. Leylin wasn't only able to imitate the Aura but he actually took it a step further and integrate the feeling of being a life form of the Lava World. Leylin used the sentient force obtained from the Star rank elemental being and used it to form his own connection with the world will. Now, he is not a bit different from someone born and raised here.

"My Lord!" Suddenly a black scaled humanoid appeared from the opening of the gate and looked at Leylin with reverence, respect, awe, fear and worship.

"Arai, Take care of the corpses this is my gift to the Allied Kingdom. I would be taking my leave for now." Leylin said indifferently as he disappeared in a blaze of fire.

...

The Lava World was vast, and a few hundred years would not be enough to traverse the entire world.

Based on the information Leylin knew about, this continent that Leylin was on was the largest in the Lava World, called 'Blazing Crown'.

Around Blazing Crown, was an ocean formed of lava. Within this lava ocean were all kinds of terrifying high-energy beings, and it was a much more dangerous place than the oceans in the Magus World.

Hence, communication between Blazing Crown and the other continents was minimal. Even the most powerful extraordinary ones rarely left the continent.

Blazing Crown was the heart of the Lava World. The other 'continents' were merely slightly large islands.

This was a world of flames. Fire elemental beings and lava creatures occupied over 80% of the area here. The one-horned race, as well as the ant race, wing race etc, could only somewhat survive at the edges of the continent.

Three organisations stood at the apex of Blazing Crown.

There was the Divineflame Empire made entirely of fire elemental beings. The Atlan Union was made up of the Emberwing race, a life form similar to humans, and then the Allied Kingdom was made up of the rest. There weren't any others at the same level as them.

Of these three, the Divineflame Empire was the most powerful. The Atlan Union and Allied Kingdom had to collaborate to stave off their invasions.

Wars were incessantly fought as they tried to seize good territory from the lava and fire elemental beings. It was to the point that huge military campaigns were launched every few years.

Leylin was operating in the Allied Kingdom, He has sent Lita in the Altan Union to keep an eye on the commotion, as well as extract all the benefits from the Altan Union especially the Emberwing technique and the firesource stone. Leylin has ordered Lita use all the firesource stone she gather to increase her fighting prowess.

Emberwing Technique was used by the Emberwing race. It could be said to be found everywhere, and practically everyone knew it.

There was nothing special about levels one to three of Emberwing Technique, and was similar to the breathing techniques of the Magus World. It could increase one's vitality and endurance slightly, with some tolerance towards fire elements.

Once one got to the fourth level of Emberwing Technique, it would be similar to a meditation technique and allow the Emberwing clansmen to have a rapid increase in strength.

The fourth and fifth level was the strength of an Exemplary rank, while six and seven meant Earth rank. Eight and nine were considerably powerful existences and were comparable to the Sky rank. Once one advanced to the tenth level, that was the door to the Star realm!

Though the fundamental parts of Emberwing Technique could be found everywhere, the fourth and fifth levels were kept somewhat secret, and were considered the essence of the race. As for the next few levels, they were kept secure, and could only be passed on in a few places. The reason why so many young people wanted to enter the Military of Altan Union especially Special Task Force was probably because they wanted information on the later levels of the technique.

As for the tenth level, that was something only the family of the head of Atlan Union possessed. Most had never even heard of it.

Out of all the mega powers, Leylin knew the least about the Allied Kingdom which was made up of various races and he choose to pay a visit here because Lita was already in Altan Union and Divineflame Empire is very unwelcoming of the other races and they also possess quite a high military strength.

Leylin won't find any benefits in short time there, he needs to establish a proper base and he knows what state the Altan Union would end up in so, he welcome himself here. The situation here in Allied kingdom isn't very simple, there is too complexity but one comforting fact is that the person with the strongest fist always has the strongest voice.

Leylin found various new races here, like the one he just ordered was from the searing draconian race known for their great body strength and fire resistance. After searching around for an identify he finally found an impeccable disguise for himself Matarisvan race.

The people of Matarisvan race are very similar to humans, they just have glaring orange hair and eyes along with a black line marked between their eyebrows all the way to the crown of the head.

The Matarisvan race used to be an extremely powerful and domineering race with existence equivalent to the emberwing race of Altan Union. They were the overlord of the Allied Kingdom as it was previously called Agni State. But as fate would have it, they eventually withered with time. The Matarisvan eventually weakened with time as the main descendants of the Royal Family were caught in a conspiracy of Divineflame empire and Altan Union. All of the main carriers of their race complete mediation techniques in their hands were lost as all of the main family was killed and their family treasure was robbed.

The other members of the Matarisvan race still tried to keep the nation together but they were victims of a coup d'etat and they were mercilessly butchered but a race so impressive is not so easy erase, the Matarisvan race still had various loyal subject who exposed that the usurpers were actually spies.

All the killers were eventually cleared out, the loyal races to the Matarisvan race as well as the common public held the remaining members in high regards but the actual fact was the Matarisvan race was all but a figurehead.

Without true strength, they had no option but to agree to the formation of Allied kingdom and also consent the crowning of various races heads. The Matarisvan race wasn't treated badly as they were the legendary hero's and protectors of the previous nation and many felt gratitude for them but little by little they slipped out of the inner circle and become just a myth.

Leylin was very intrigued by their story especially their race treasure, the attack on them being encircled and eradicated as well as the sudden rise of Scarlet Eye of the Altan Union doesn't it all just add up perfectly to point towards a certain possibility.

Leylin assumed their racial characteristics and joined their circle as the once great race is just a whole bunch of weakling with not even a single star rank amongst them.

Matarisvan race lives in seclusion in a rather good environment but they are just a shell of what they used to be.

Leylin used his charismatic personality and enigmatic charm to easily manipulated them to become their leader. The members of race doesn't have much value but their name does!

As soon as rumours of a hidden genius was emitted many other loyal families came and swear allegiance to them, one such was the searing draconian family.

Leylin establish his strength by taking on various missions from the Kingdom and made sure the people knew that the once glorious race is back. Leylin was able to get the mediation technique of the Matarisvan race even through it wasn't complete it was still a great referential material.

Leylin just finished his voluntarily accepted mission as he eradicated the whole bunch of a elemental being nest including one with the fighting ability of Star rank.

'The Allied kingdom has deep undercurrents and it is very complicated but the revival of the race which has a place in the common people hearts is still not easy to suppress. The Allied kingdom was equal to Altan Union in strength once and this was only possible because of the Matarisvan race existence. Many would want to see the rise again but many more would want my downfall. So be it, the more that comes the more I would enjoy it.' Leylin flied as thought, he has taken this path because it is filled with blood and gore and Leylin isn't afraid of it. Leylin with his cover wouldn't be targeted by the World will no matter how much chaos he makes as long as he doesn't trouble the world itself, he wouldn't be in trouble.

"Let's take care of the Dukes now, the time has come to take a bite at the shares of the Triserpent sect." Leylin body changed from the characteristics of the Matarisvan race and he turned his previous self as he streaked towards the upcoming battlefield.

According to the information, The Triserpent Sect, which was also called the Triserpent Resistance Army, was an up-and-coming organisation, and its development was rapid. With the goal of overthrowing the rule of the Atlan Union, their operations were unpredictable and very much supported by the lower class commoners.

It was said that there were three heads of the Triserpent Sect, and they were terribly powerful, the Atlan Union's attempts at cornering and annihilating them were to no avail.

Compared to the Divineflame Empire that was against all foreigners and full of fire elementals, the Atlan Union formed of the Emberwing race similar to humans were easier to manipulate.

On top of that, their strength was only second to the Divineflame Empire in Blazing Crown, and was more suited to the needs of the Morning Star Magi of Jupiter's Lightning as well as the three dukes. The amazing treasure firesource stone only make it more appealing as it has the ability to increase the soul force of a morning star Magus.
