Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

David could feel that as his mastery of Natural Witchcraft grew more refined, the once rampant turbulence began to become docile, eventually being completely restrained, restoring the passage to its original stability and order.

Liliana witnessed all of this, her eyes shimmering with surprise and admiration.

She hadn’t expected David to utilize his newfound strength so adeptly to deal with crises in such a short time.

This not only showcased his talent for Natural Witchcraft but also demonstrated his composure and courage in the face of challenges.

As the spatial passage stabilized, David and Liliana continued forward, advancing towards the projection of the World Tree.

After traversing the space passage filled with unknowns and dangers, David and Liliana finally reached the end of the passage.

This was a tranquil and solemn space, suffused with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

In front of them, a gigantic ancient stone tablet stood imposingly, inscribed with the three major trials of the World Tree Contract, the characters archaic and profound, seemingly containing infinite power and wisdom.

The surface of the stone tablet was covered with the marks of time, each crack seemingly narrating stories of the past.

At the center of the stone tablet, lines of archaic text were engraved, these words flickering with a faint glow, as if narrating the three major trials of the World Tree Contract.

David and Liliana gazed at this stone tablet, an inexplicable feeling of awe welling up in their hearts.

They knew that these three major trials would be the key to reaching the projection of the World Tree and achieving the transformation to a Divine Body.

The words on the stone tablet slowly flowed, finally settling on the detailed descriptions of the three major trials:

1. Natural Resonance

“Natural Resonance is the preliminary trial to establish a connection with the World Tree.” The text explained, “The Trial Taker must delve into the Heart of Nature, perceive the pulsation of the Power of Nature, and resonate with it. Only by truly comprehending the way of nature can one gain the acknowledgment of the Power of Nature, laying the foundation for subsequent trials.”

2. Life Sacrifice

“Life Sacrifice is the trial where the Trial Taker demonstrates determination and courage to the World Tree.” The words continued, “The Trial Taker must offer a part of their Life Power as a medium to communicate with the World Tree. This process will be accompanied by immense pain and sacrifice, achievable only by those with firm conviction.”

3. Time Travel

“Time Travel is the ultimate trial where the Trial Taker faces their past and future.” The words concluded, “The Trial Taker will be sent into the vortex of time and space, confronting crucial moments in their life and potential future challenges. Only by maintaining one’s true self amidst the trial of time, unbound by the past and undistracted by the future, can one truly comprehend the essence of life.”

Looking at the text on the stone tablet, David and Liliana fell into contemplation.

They knew that these three major trials would not only test their strength and wisdom but also their willpower and belief.

“David, are you ready?” Liliana asked softly.

David took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

This was a path filled with challenges, but he was ready to face any possible difficulties and dangers.

“Liliana, let’s face it together.”

David said, “No matter what awaits us ahead, as long as we join hands, nothing can stop our progress.”

Liliana smiled and nodded, feeling David’s determination and courage, and also filled with confidence in herself.

She knew that the two of them would face these three major trials together and reach the shore of success.

With their decision made, the words on the stone tablet began to flow again, finally transforming into a beam of light guiding them towards the trial site of Natural Resonance.

Under the guidance of the light, David and Liliana arrived in a vast forest.

The trees here towered into the clouds, lush with foliage, forming a green world.

The air was thick with Life Energy, imparting a sense of tranquility and harmony.

“This is the trial site of Natural Resonance,” Liliana said, “We need to delve into the Heart of the Forest and feel the pulsation of the Power of Nature.”

David nodded, gazing at the forest with a sense of inexplicable closeness in his heart.

He seemed to hear the trees breathing, feel the pulsation of the Earth.

This was the call of the Power of Nature, and his opportunity to establish a connection with nature.

They began to penetrate deeper into the forest, encountering all sorts of strange creatures and sights along the way.

Some creatures appeared grotesque and terrifying, yet their eyes shimmered with wisdom; some sights were like fairyland, mesmerizing visitors.

But David and Liliana remained vigilant, knowing these were only a part of the trial, with the real challenges awaiting ahead.

After days of trekking, they finally reached the Heart of the Forest.

This was an open clearing, at the center of which stood a massive ancient tree.

The ancient tree was lush with foliage and the trunk robust, seemingly containing endless Life Power.

Surrounding the ancient tree was an aura both mysterious and formidable, involuntarily inspiring awe in anyone nearby.

“This is the Heart of Nature,” Liliana said, “We need to establish a connection with this ancient tree, feel the pulsation of the Power of Nature.”

David stared at this ancient tree and could feel the Life Power contained within it resonating with the Pseudo-Divine Body in him.

He took a deep breath and slowly approached the ancient tree.

As he neared the tree, a warm and powerful force enveloped him, imparting a sense of unprecedented comfort and tranquility.

He began to close his eyes, focusing his mind, attempting to establish a deeper connection with the ancient tree.

He could feel the Life Power flowing through the tree merging with his own, as if they had become one.

He seemed to hear the tree’s breath, feel its heartbeat. In this moment, he felt like a part of nature, resonating with the Power of Nature.

As time went on, David’s connection with the ancient tree grew stronger.

He could feel the pulsation of the Power of Nature, seemingly able to command this force for himself.

As the bond between David and the ancient tree deepened, the surrounding natural environment began to change.

Initially peaceful and harmonious, the Heart of the Forest suddenly became turbulent and uneasy.

The sky became overcast with dark clouds, thunder roared, and a gigantic Storm Giant Eagle plunged down from the clouds, its sharp gaze fixed on David, its wings stirring up gales as if to destroy everything.

Simultaneously, the ground began to tremble as a massive Earth Vein Rock Turtle slowly emerged from the ground, its heavy shell covered with ancient runes, radiating a mysterious glow.

The Turtle’s eyes were like deep caves, gazing at David, emitting a low growl, seemingly warning him not to trespass upon nature’s domain.

“David, be careful!”

Liliana reminded from the side, “This is the rampage of the Spirits of Nature; they sensed your presence and are trying to expel you.”

David knew he was in a precarious situation, but he did not retreat.

He understood that only by establishing a spiritual connection with the Spirits of Nature and quelling this catastrophe could he pass the trial of Natural Resonance.

He took a deep breath, concentrating his spirit, attempting to establish a connection with the Storm Giant Eagle and the Earth Vein Rock Turtle.

However, the power of these Spirits of Nature was overwhelming, their will assailing David’s mind like a violent storm.

David felt his body beginning to overload, his skin gradually cracking, blood seeping through, enduring unbearable pain.

“David, if this continues, you’ll be devoured by the power of the Spirits of Nature!”

Liliana exclaimed anxiously, “You must find another way!”

David gritted his teeth, struggling to maintain clarity.

He recalled Liliana’s earlier words: “Abandon human perception, assimilate into the natural frequency.”

He realized he had been trying to understand nature with a human mindset, and this was why he couldn’t establish a deeper connection with the Spirits of Nature.
