Chapter 2342: Chapter 495: The Witch Joins, A New Millennium, A New Ancient Dragon Continent!

[Star Cluster Legal Newspaper: Today, our newspaper interviewed the former Endless Sea Law Enforcement Department’s head, Golden Walker Florio. The Golden Walker expressed some concerns about this acquisition: top wizard organizations are the confidence and backbone of many grassroots wizards and civilians. This move has two major risks: first, some emerging organizations that have not been historically tested are growing wildly, affecting the healthy landscape of organizational ecology, which does not align with the congress’s anti-monopoly stance. Second, it further reduces the credibility and authority of top wizard organizations. It is suggested that the Wizard Council consider this move from a broader perspective, and if necessary, revoke the merger.]

[Witch Independent Daily: Throughout history, the Witch’s Family has been renowned for its female characteristics, being a sacred land in the hearts of many Ocean School of Thought witches. With a new leader now, it is feared that it will lose this advantage and fade into obscurity.]

…

There are many similar comments.

Apart from the blood battle, there is finally something new. Bored wizards have seemingly found an outlet for their grievances.

Those in favor and against the merger have split into two factions, making opinions clear.

However, the Supreme Council, which holds the decision-making power in such matters, has remained silent.

Levi is not worried at all.

He took two years to announce the merger because he was seeking opinions.

For such a significant matter, he didn’t dare to make decisions lightly.

He consulted the Black Abyss Sovereign, Frost Witch, and some respected Grand Wizard seniors.

The Old Witch also sought multiple connections, consulting on the feasibility of this matter.

Historically, top wizard organizations being acquired has never really happened. They’re usually dissolved or directly annihilated.

Eventually, even the busy Grand Council Chairman Edmund issued a statement:

[The merger is feasible, but the details need to be handled well, and the affected personnel properly arranged to avoid potential negative impacts. The Black Abyss Sovereign will supervise the merger.]

This is the confidence behind the Ancient Dragon Continent’s acquisition of the Witch’s Family.

The highest position in the Wizard World agreed. What is that Golden Walker worth anyway?

Also, that Witch Independent Daily always advocates for maintaining the Witch’s Family’s characteristics, calling it a sacred land for witches.

But over the millennium, the enrollment quota of the Witch’s Family has declined year after year, and this group hasn’t supported the sacred land.

They sound like they’re thinking for the witches, but behind the scenes, it’s a business.

So Levi completely disregards these remarks.

He knows Golden Walker Florio is from the Letney Family, formerly titled as Divine Gold Wizard.

He once served as Clan Leader, later transferred to the Central Realm.

Recently, he was promoted to Grand Wizard, becoming one of the Great Councilmen, earning the title Golden Walker.

The Letney Family celebrated extensively, inviting many people to the feast, creating a great spectacle.

Their intention was to let everyone know the Golden Lightning family now has a Grand Wizard.

Then, the feast was ambushed by demons, causing significant casualties.

The congress immediately ordered that during the blood battle, no organization shall hold large-scale promotion ceremonies, disrupting the order of resistance.

Externally, the Witch’s Family started a comprehensive relocation effort.

The previous location was somewhat far from the Ancient Dragon Continent, inconvenient for mutual support between organizations.

Additionally, the prior demon invasion caused substantial demonic aura pollution.

Although Oasis One was planted, it would take a long time to purify.

The Ancient Dragon Continent doesn’t lack land now.

A circle of New World territories surrounding it has been acquired with a fortune, turned into satellite continents, forming a structure like stars clustering around the moon.

These New World territories are mostly within ten thousand miles of the Ancient Dragon Continent.

After Herman advanced to the seventh-circle, the upgraded Sky Dome Defense System’s scanning range further increased.

Essentially, with the Ancient Dragon Continent at the center and these satellite continents, they can be included in the alert range.

Thus, if a demon catastrophe occurs anywhere, other places can respond swiftly.

Level 8 Guardians can use Void Travel and other means to reach and rescue within moments.

All members of the new Witch’s Family must take the oath through Excalibur.

This is the prerequisite for joining the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Additionally, Levi conducted thorough inspections.

Every member, from primordial soul wizards to mortal rookies, underwent strict scrutiny.

In this process, many demonic spies, mainly Mind Flayers and Formless Demons, were discovered and eradicated.

The inspection method is simple.

Including relevant clauses in the oath achieves it.

As long as the demon’s methods don’t surpass this rare treasure, Excalibur, don’t think about lying.

The Ancient Dragon Continent used this method to inspect and eliminate demon spies, proving effective.

After ensuring there are no issues.

The Witch’s Family’s own treasure vault, knowledge, teaching system, and organizations like the Tower of Dawn and Dusk Holy Temple gradually integrated.

From then on, students and teachers can attend lessons at any organization without barriers.

Resources and treasures from major organizations could be exchanged using the Ancient Dragon Continent’s contribution points.

These points are termed Ancient Dragon Points.

As the organization leader, Levi instantly owned the knowledge base of a top wizard organization, feeling very pleased.

Besides, Eight-Circle Magic was no longer scarce; he could just pick and learn selectively.

Regarding the Witch’s Family’s treasure vault, he didn’t interact with it much.

There were many good items inside, but those weren’t particularly useful for someone at his level.

He’d rather leave them for the organization members to exchange.

Of course, while being the organization leader brings numerous rights and benefits, it also entails corresponding responsibilities.

In the future, excluding the mortals, thousands of mid to lower-level wizards, even apprentice wizards, within the Witch’s Family would need his shelter.

This responsibility is a heavy burden.

That’s why the overwhelmed Old Witch decided to withdraw.

Levi did attempt to retain her, but she seemed to have found a place in the Central Realm in advance.

Or maybe she’s worried that her influence as the “old leader” at the Witch’s Family might cause misunderstandings with Levi.

In any case, the Old Witch chose to leave.

Levi’s first action upon taking over the Witch’s Family was to abolish the outdated rule of accepting only female wizards.

From then on, all promising talents, regardless of gender or background, could qualify for selection interviews.

Initially, this move encountered substantial resistance, as the organization of witches has formed some inertia, which temporarily couldn’t accept it.

Yet, he ignored it as if he never saw it, proceeding like a Great Dictator.

Gradually, people saw the Dusk Palace Master’s firm decision and accepted this fact. Of course, more witches expressed support.

Firstly, they believed the Witch’s Family needed new vitality. Secondly, without the Dusk Palace Master, they would have long become Demon Blood Food during the previous demon catastrophe.
