Chapter 2097
Under Laurent's leadership, the Wizard Society soon flourished, but there was always a problem: wizards were a bit crazy and unwilling to be bound.
Laurent simply didn't bind the wizards; he only needed to find like-minded people among the many wizards.
Five years later, led by Laurent, Dawn, and Gus, they led more than 76,000 wizards to crusade against the Dominator.
This grand battle ended two days later. Or rather, they marched for two days, and after seeing the Dominator, they were defeated before the battle officially began. After drinking magic potions to become wizards, they simply didn't have the qualifications to oppose the Dominator.
More than 76,000 wizards were all killed in battle. Laurent was pierced by a tentacle that appeared out of thin air during the battle. Before turning into a lump, he said one sentence: "There is also, the White Goat."
Fortunately, after turning into this state, Laurent's combat power soared, successfully covering Dawn and Gus's retreat.
After this, Dawn became the leader of the Wizard Society. The three of them "yielded" to the Dominator and, using commoners as coolies and the knowledge left by Laurent as a foundation, built Heru City and the Wizard Society headquarters.
Since then, the Wizard Society became a looser organization. The only thing that kept it going was the magic potions of the Morn family. After all, they were Laurent's descendants and knew more things.
Dawn ordered the closure of the tenth floor and above of the Wizard Society, and the Old God Church was the residence of the three.
After the three fought the Dominator, they were more or less affected by the opponent. They discovered that their deaths were postponed. This was a warning, telling them what the consequences of resistance would be.
Not only that, the Dominator also came to Heru City and slept here. This was the second warning.
For a long time, Dawn and Gus were in despair. Their spiritual leader, Laurent, had turned into a lump. The blow to them was imaginable.
It was during this period that Dawn became paranoid. She firmly believed that quantity was useless and only powerful individuals could deal with the Dominator.
Constantly searching, Dawn finally found a young girl. This girl was not only a born wizard but also had some divinity of "them," which gave Dawn hope.
As for Gus, he chose to let go of selfishness and believe in Dawn one more time. Gus had found a way for Old Gods to deal with "darkness" long ago, which was Holy Silver. To get Holy Silver, one needed to burn Old Gods, extract "iron" from the Old God's body, and combine it with pure silver.
To face "them" directly, the most basic requirement was not to be eroded by darkness. Gus burned himself and obtained a small amount of Holy Silver, but it was far from enough.
Therefore, Dawn and Laurent both lay in the furnace. They had failed once and could no longer face the Dominator directly, so they pinned all their hopes on Nia.
Nia did not let the three down. She was the light that grew in the darkness. To avoid the Dominator's gaze, Nia, only 12 years old, lived in the dungeon at the deepest part of the Wizard Society.
To keep her from being lonely, Dawn created the Sorrowful Maiden and entrusted the blacksmith, Hughes Archid, to forge the Holy Silver into a headpiece, wrapped in ordinary silver, and worn on the Sorrowful Maiden's head.
And the blacksmith, Hughes Archid, was the old wizard Su Xiao had seen sitting in a wooden wheelchair.
Nia didn't talk to anyone except the Sorrowful Maiden. Every time she saw Nia, Dawn felt guilty. She was even prepared to die at Nia's hands.
Until Nia reached adulthood at 18, stronger than any known wizard, and reached a certain limit, she left the dungeon.
"Come back, okay? I'm waiting for you here."
This was the last sentence Dawn said to Nia. Nia just smiled at Dawn. That kind of pure smile made Dawn want to cut off her own head and kneel in front of Nia to compensate for the other party's dark childhood and flower-like beautiful youth.
Nia had only one puppet, a firm heart, and a sword mixed with trace amounts of Holy Silver, the "Crescent Moon Light." Other than that, she had nothing.
Nia failed. She failed after cutting off half of the Dominator's head. This made the Dominator even angrier, so it deprived the world of almost all sunlight, making the world damp and cold.
"We are truly selfish."
Dawn sighed. She had resisted and failed, but she didn't regret it. The only thing that made her feel guilty was Nia.
"Finished?"
Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke. Beside him, Bubu Wang, Baha, Amu, and Caesar each held a bucket of popcorn.
"Ah?"
Dawn looked at Su Xiao in a slightly dazed manner. Su Xiao's cheek twitched visibly.
"Where is the Dominator? We were talking about that."
"Have you decided to face it directly? It is in Bone Port, in a room in the third block. You can find it there. Or rather, it will take the initiative to pull you to 'that side.' Specifically... when you get there, you will understand."
Dawn's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the stone chair. With a *click*, a small silver bottle popped out.
"Take it. Our hope is already dead, and keeping it is useless. This was originally prepared to deal with the 'White Goat'."
Dawn's withered, branch-like hand picked up the small silver bottle and handed it to Su Xiao.

Seeing the data of the 【Holy Silver Diluted Solution】, Su Xiao basically understood what was going on. The Dominator was an Ancient God, similar to the Moon God; they were all divine creatures of the same breed.
That's right, in Su Xiao's view, gods were actually just creatures, and Ancient Gods were just a category of gods, while the Goddess of Luck was another category of gods, tending toward kindness, good luck, etc.
The Moon God was actually quite innocent, staying well in the Earth City before Su Xiao came to his door and hacked him. Clearly, in that matter, Su Xiao was the villain, and he even gave the Moon God a "cranial ultra-high temperature."
As for the Dominator, it didn't belong to the innocent ranks. This guy's claws reached a bit too far, snatching things from the Reincarnation Paradise. Otherwise, Su Xiao wouldn't need to search the world for him.
"So it is an Ancient God."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Dawn's dim eyes brightened a little. In the distance, Gus's eyes widened.
"Kid, Ancient Gods are more terrifying than you imagine. In some aspects, they are almost omnipotent. You have seen the state of this world; this is the consequence of being invaded by Ancient Gods."
Gus's voice came with slight dissatisfaction. This guy had a foul mouth, but this old man was a good person. He saw that Su Xiao didn't belong to this world, so he hinted many times: leave this place, this is not a good place, and don't go looking for the Ancient God Dominator; dying for this matter is not worth it.
"So you know of the existence of Ancient Gods."
Dawn was different from Gus; she always wanted to get rid of the Ancient Gods.
"I know. I killed one not long ago. That thing was quite strong."
Su Xiao walked out of the Old God Church. Since he already knew where the Dominator was, he would naturally go straight to it. It wasn't as if he hadn't killed Ancient Gods before.
"Eh?"
Dawn was stunned for a moment. She was clearly more sober at this time, looking at Su Xiao, who had already walked far away, in astonishment. In her judgment, a person like Su Xiao was unlikely to tell such a lie.
"Dawn, it seems this time... a monster has come. I hope those Ancient Gods experience the despair we felt back then."
Gus, hanging upside down, laughed loudly, but as he laughed, the smile on his face disappeared because he saw Nia's sculpture in the center of the church.
