Reports flew across the continent, command chambers were alerted, and emergency councils were convened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew why he had entered the Soaring River Secret Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they all knew this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone in alone and had come out with a woman at the Mana Vortex Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was supposed to be impossible. Only Mana Foundation Magi could enter and exit the secret plane, yet he had broken that rule as if it did not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that terrified them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what frightened them even more was that seven Mana Core Magi had gathered at the square, fully prepared to confront and apprehend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet none of them had made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be more accurate to say they were unable to make one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just how great was the gap between Adam the Deceitful and the rest of the Mana Core Magi, that they stood frozen in horror?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Dark King's sudden return, no one could predict how the fate of the Ulier Continent would change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Royal Palace, Acryon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the grand courtyard, two figures walked side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…He's become a Mana Core Magus, Your Majesty,\" Old Ani reported. \"Duke Lovelace claims he is very powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused for a moment, then softly added. \"He believes Adam might be as powerful as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian walked calmly, hands clasped behind his back. His golden eyes flashed with an intrigued light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How old is he?\" he asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ani deliberated for a moment, then said. \"He should be in his seventies. I'm not certain of his exact age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian chuckled lightly. \"To become a Mana Core Magus in his seventies. Even I took almost a hundred years to become one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We never doubted his talents.\" Old Ani sighed. \"But to think the Duke would hold him in such high regard… that is truly surprising.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Berger said Adam had been undercover in the Haynam Empire for a long time,\" Lucian began. \"If he's finally revealed himself in Ulier, that should mean the foundations of Operation Constantine have been fully established.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed. \"I suppose it is time to move to the next step of the plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, I believe we should confirm it with Adam before making any move.\" Old Ani raised a valid point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the scale of Operation Constantine was far too great to base decisions on assumptions alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly Diviner was about to continue, but suddenly her eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone is trying to enter the defensive barrier,\" she murmured. \"A spirit world messenger…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian's lips curled into a smile. \"Allow entry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ani frowned, but nodded nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, the space beside them tore open, revealing a small portal. From it, a tiny serpent emerged, clutching a letter in its maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light chuckle escaped Lucian. \"He moves quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ani's frown disappeared as she retrieved the letter from the snake. The snake cutely hissed at her, then slipped back into the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then respectfully passed the letter to Lucian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor opened the envelope and read the letter. His brows arched in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does it say?\" Old Ani curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's an invitation,\" Lucian said as he burned the letter away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ani sighed. She knew there was no stopping the Emperor now. So instead, she suggested, \"Your Majesty, it would be wise not to let others know of your absence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian nodded. \"I'll be back soon. If anyone asks, tell them I'm practicing mindfulness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he cast a concealment spell on him, then disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your wish is my command.\" Old Ani offered a respectful bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, she couldn't help but sigh as she gazed at the drifting clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder I couldn't divine anything about him…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerian beat his massive wings and soared through the clouds, cutting across the sky with steady, powerful strokes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, a colossal tree came into view. Its trunk was thicker than any tower, its branches stretching outward like a second skyline. The canopy was so vast that it covered nearly half the city beneath it, casting a wide shadow over its streets, rooftops, and plazas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From above, it looked less like a tree and more like a living monument towering over the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna gaped in surprise. \"My goodness, what is that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd never seen a tree so grand and majestic before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerian's topaz eyes gleamed with brilliance as he stared ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's the tree Brother planted!\" he said, his voice deep with pride. \"It's huge now! And the Town of Constantine… it's become a real city!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Town of Constantine?\" Anna was taken aback. \"As in Adam Constantine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerian laughed boisterously. \"The residents named the town after Brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam chuckled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he turned in a specific direction. His lips curled into a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Val, find a way to enter the city hidden. And take Anna with you.\" With that said, he leaped off the dragon's back and plunged through the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna was taken aback by Adam's sudden reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the next moment, Valerian cast a simple illusion spell, completely concealing both his and her presence as they descended toward the city below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wide road stretched toward the gates of Constantine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tall, vibrant trees lined both sides of the dirt path, their leaves thick and healthy. Sunlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colorful birds hopped from branch to branch, chirping freely. Small animals darted through the underbrush, rustling the grass as they moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place felt warm and alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam descended from the sky and gracefully landed in the middle of the road. Dust stirred faintly around his boots, and the hems of his cape gently fluttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he began walking calmly toward the city gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, an unfamiliar voice sounded beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it that, as the ruler of this land, I was completely unaware of this settlement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam's lips curled into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking beside him now was a towering man with a powerful build. He had thick blond hair, his eyes glowed with a golden hue, and there was a golden sun emblem resting on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam turned to the Emperor of Acadia and let out a light laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Grace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-05-29T04:45:42.573Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.309Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea49910db02906271ea26622549c694c6dcafef1b728f7aae4db583a4e052796","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-1587","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-1585",1765,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-cover.jpg"]
