Novel Full Chapter232-The Impact of the Eastern Wastes
Daniel officially went into seclusion within the mini world,
dedicated to studying the magic array and striving to master the one capable of nurturing a Will of World.
Meanwhile, Big White slept soundly, blissfully unaware that Daniel had already prepared everything for its future.
The nurturing magic array, the yellow clay to enhance its strength—
everything was nearly in place.
Now, all Daniel needed was time.
In addition to the nurturing magic array,
the relics of the Divine Dynasty that Daniel had previously acquired also required deciphering their magic arrays.
Initially, Daniel needed three days to unravel a single relic,
a pace that severely hindered his expectations.
Learning magic arrays was partly motivated by this frustration.
Thus, he entered seclusion.
Before doing so, Daniel sighed.
He had hoped to avoid seclusion in the God Realm, planning instead to enjoy its sights.
But upon arriving, it seemed unavoidable after all.
There was no other choice—he needed to focus.
While Daniel was in seclusion,
the God Realm was shaken by significant waves.
Previously, people had only worried about when the calamity might arrive.
What they hadn’t anticipated was that it would come so soon.
Because…
The battle in the Eastern Wastes,
though it resulted in no deaths and only four injured,
was a clash of god kings!
The battle between god kings,
the highest-ranked beings in the God Realm,
was nothing short of earth-shattering.
And not just one or two—there were four.
The scale of such a confrontation needed no elaboration.
Many god kings sensed the terrifying energy fluctuations,
all emanating from the Eastern Wastes.
Moreover, those near the Eastern Wastes even felt a power far more fearsome than that of a god king…
Speculations ran rampant:
What ancient monster, unseen for countless years, could be responsible for this?
In a God Realm already plagued by anxiety,
this event only heightened the chaos.
The lack of any response from the Court of Divine King,
the dominant force in the Eastern Wastes, further fueled the unease.
Some god kings couldn’t resist visiting the Court of Divine King to inquire,
but the response was always the same:
They didn’t know what had happened.
By the time they arrived, the battle was already over.
And it was true—
the battle had ended incredibly quickly.
When the four god kings had launched their strongest attacks,
followed by summoning their avatars,
Daniel had swiftly subdued them all.
The fight concluded so quickly it seemed almost unbelievable.
As god kings, they typically had numerous life-saving measures,
and defeating an opponent of the same rank was notoriously difficult.
But they hadn’t accounted for Daniel—an utterly unexpected force.
In a single move, he rendered all four god kings powerless.
Naturally, the Court of Divine King couldn’t disclose the true outcome.
As long as they kept quiet,
they avoided public humiliation.
However, their silence only deepened the growing panic among the people.
If such powerful beings were already clashing at the start of the calamity,
would the fighting eventually spread?
A clear sign of the unease was evident in the markets.
Anything related to strength enhancement, self-preservation, or combat
was immediately purchased in bulk as soon as it hit the shelves.
This frenzy reflected just how terrified the God Realm had become.
Nobody wanted to risk missing resources that could save their lives in the calamity.
With no one knowing how long the calamity would last or when it might end,
everyone began making preparations for their survival.
Chaos began to emerge in other areas of the God Realm, too.
At a mining site:
“Who are you people? This is our family’s mine! What are you planning to do?”
A young woman confronted a group of strangers.
This was her family’s ancestral mine.
Recently, rumors within the family spoke of strange people being spotted near the mines.
These strangers appeared more frequently as of late,
raising suspicions that they sought to seize the mines.
Determined to uncover their intentions,
the young woman brought her family’s strongest fighters to investigate.
But it seemed the strangers had been waiting for this very moment.
As soon as the young woman and her group arrived near the mine,
a larger group emerged from the surrounding area, encircling them.
“You… the Wins Family, the Seahaven Family… what are you planning to do?”
“What we’re planning? Can’t you see for yourself, Lady of the Moraine Family?
“For generations, your family has controlled the ice stone mine.
Have you ever considered the plight of others in the city?”
The mine in question was the ice stone mine,
a site that produced ice stones—
crystals that greatly accelerated the learning of ice magic.
These crystals were highly effective and valuable,
not only for personal use but also for trade.
The Moraine Family had maintained their position as the city’s leading family
thanks to this mine.
But now, that prestige was no longer enough to deter others.
The neighboring families, like the Wins and Seahaven families,
had grown bold enough to unite against the Moraine Family.
“This mine was discovered by our ancestors! Why shouldn’t it belong to us?
“And you—do you intend to defy the Moraine Family?”
The young woman stared at the encircling group,
her voice unwavering.
“Brothers! This is our chance! Think of the Moraine Family,
and now think of the lives we live!
“We all have families—don’t you want better lives for them?”
A voice from the crowd rallied their resolve.
“How dare you!
“If you dare attack the Moraine Family today,
aren’t you afraid our allies will retaliate against you?”
The young woman’s voice rose, full of defiance.
The Moraine Family, after generations of controlling the ice stone mine,
had not done so without forging alliances.
The ice stones they mined were sold to families in neighboring cities,
forming a vast web of interconnected interests.
If this chain were disrupted,
the retaliation would be devastating.
It was this network of alliances that gave the young woman her confidence.
Her words caused a moment of hesitation among the surrounding group.
They feared the possibility of retaliation from the Moraine Family’s allies,
which could jeopardize their own families.
“Don’t worry! Those families don’t care about the Moraine Family—
they care about the ice stone mine!
“As long as we control the mine,
it won’t matter who holds it.
“The Moraine Family is barely hanging on!”
With those words, someone from the crowd struck first.
The already tense situation exploded into full conflict.
Magic erupted on both sides,
spells of various colors clashing violently.
It was as if everyone had lost their reason,
intent only on eliminating their opponents.
Before long, both sides were gravely wounded.
Although the Moraine Family’s forces were stronger overall,
they were vastly outnumbered.
Moreover, the Moraine Family was in a period of transition, Explore new worlds at empire
lacking a powerful figure to turn the tide.
Amidst the looming calamity,
other families saw this as an opportunity to strike.
The Moraine Family’s forces were gradually overwhelmed,
with many suffering serious injuries.
On the opposing side,
several had already died.
Yet neither side showed any signs of retreat or compromise.
