The crackling sound of the dry firewood in the fireplace as it licks the flames from time to time brings a hint of warmth to the room on a winter day, and it is truly refreshing to pour in a sip of cold spirits. It's a pity that several people in the room are all spellcasters, and almost all of them have a respectful attitude towards drinking, especially spirits, and among them, there is Liu Li, a lip-touching and pour-over product, because there is no smell of wine in the room.

"Hey, Blazer, this is the first time you've brought Tina-senpai out to our party, aren't you going to say something?" The pale red liquor in the glass in front of Ella exuded the fragrance of flowers, she had a soft spot for low-alcohol wine made from flowers, and was one of the only two spellcasters who liked to drink among the few people here, "I thought you were bragging, but I didn't expect you to really hook up with Senpai." ”

"Ella, how do you know it's not Blazer I'm hooking up with?" Tina often pesters Landolia to learn spell-casting techniques, and Ella is one of the witch's favorite young spellcasters, thanks to this relationship, the two girls have long known each other, and none of the people present are strangers, and it is Tina who seems unscrupulous when she jokes.

"Wow, sister, how did I not know you were such a person!?" Ella's funny scream of surprise caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter, even Sally, who had always been as timid as a bunny.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh!" Although Tina usually looks full of energy, she is not the kind of girl who is too flamboyant in essence, and she is embarrassed by everyone's reaction. However, this clever girl did not lose her cool because of this, she knew that at this time, it was possible to get out of the predicament only by changing the subject and causing trouble, "Well, don't talk about me, how are you, Ella, is Thor usually silent like this when he is alone with you?

"I, of course, with perseverance...... Hey, wait, no! Why did it suddenly get on me!?" Ella wasn't a gifted spellcaster like Wells, and even if the wine in the glass wasn't spirits, it affected the girl's reaction speed somewhat, and she didn't realize that something was wrong until she blurted out a sentence, and she knew it was too late.

"Oh, perseverance?" A purple hair, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, instantly raised his interest, and lightly picked Ella's chin with his index finger, "Let me tell you in detail, how did you hook up with this dull big man with perseverance?"

Fei Li, who once pretended to be a mentor, is still there, and coupled with the suppression of the rank, poor Ella can't afford to resist for a while, so she can only succumb to obscenity.

......

"Thor, congratulations on being promoted to the fourth rank. Liu Li didn't have the heart to participate in the gossip between a group of girls over there. Not only him, but even the taciturn Thor and the funny Blazer didn't plan to get involved and set themselves on fire...... None of the three were interested in it.

"Yes, Thor, you're finally fourth-order, I really didn't expect you to suppress the rank for so long. Blazer has now restrained a lot, at least on the surface, the comic spellcaster has now become calmer, of course, what his nature is, at least at this time, everyone in the room knows, "Although it is important to lay a solid foundation, but you ...... It's been a little too long. ”

"Hehe, who's to say it's not, but it's not without gain, at least in terms of actual combat ability, an ordinary fourth-order spellcaster is not my opponent. Thor chuckled, he was not as dull in front of his acquaintances as he once was, at least the smile on his face was no longer stiff and rigid.

"Yes, it's been so long......" Liu Li said secretly in her heart.

Time flies, and five years have passed since Liu Li gained control of the "Origin Realm". Thanks to the return of the flaws and the running of several primeval dragon kings, the invasion of the "evil of this world" has not appeared in these years, and there is no new spatial rift anywhere, as if everything has returned to calm, and the clouds of cataclysm have dissipated.

However, Liu Li is very clear, the calm in front of him is just an illusion, and the calm is only floating on the surface. He could often see the four primeval dragon kings coming and going, going back and forth between the main world and the various secondary worlds, and more than once a goddess suddenly woke up from his divine soul and left in a hurry without even saying a word.

Not only that, but the world will of the Aode Continent seems to have loosened the restrictions on the lives that exist here, whether it is a martial artist or a spellcaster, the promotion speed is much higher than before - the martial artist can more easily detect his own state, and the elements are also more receptive to the mobilization of spiritual power, and the accumulation and polishing of all foundations consumes nearly half of the time compared to before. It's as if the whole world is squeezing its own potential, turning it into combat power, so that the lives that thrive here can have more power to protect themselves in the coming catastrophe.

The information about the cataclysm is no longer a secret that belongs exclusively to the sixth-order peak and super-rank powerhouses, with the tacit approval of the gods and the primeval dragon king, all the mid-level warriors may not know the details, but they have heard of it somewhat.

"Hey, Liu Li, what do you want?" Blazer called, then lowered his voice, and continued mysteriously: "Have you two heard rumors about the 'cataclysm'? Liu Li, you are the most well-informed here, is there any detailed information, will there really be such a catastrophe?"

"I'm afraid it can't be faked. Liu Li hadn't spoken yet, but Thor suddenly interjected, obviously he was also very concerned about this topic, "Otherwise, Xius and Colin would not have left the academy and returned to their hometown, it is said that one of the elders in their family has reached the sixth order." ”

"Hmph, two cowards who only know how to escape!" Blazer was displeased at the mention of the twins. He didn't really feel resentful because the two of them "escaped", but more felt sorry for the two of them, "Alas...... If they hadn't left, they would have all been promoted to the fourth rank by now. ”

"Everyone has his own aspirations. Liu Li didn't have much thought about the two brothers' decision, "The news about the 'catastrophe' is true, and I only hope that the two of them can survive this catastrophe safely under the protection of the elders in the family." ”

"Well, I'm not really ...... Whew, forget it!" Blazer waved his hand, drank the juice in the cup in one gulp, and exhaled heavily before calming down, "But Liu Li, since you are so sure, is there any specific news?" ”

"The specific news is indeed there, but it is far from the time to make it public, I can't trust your big mouth, maybe I told you today, and tomorrow the whole city of Eleno will be spread. ”

"Hey, why do I have a big mouth!"

"Well, funny. Thor stabbed Blazer with a stab.

"Thor, you...... You've learned badly, too!"
