Year 0

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

The world continued to turn and change.

For someone like Leylin or Gu Long, they often would not feel the passing of time once he wholeheartedly devoted his heart and soul to something.

While he was at work, hundreds of years could slip by stealthily. At the same time, while Gu Long slumbered, even millennia could pass.

Of course, to beings of laws who had life spans that were easily ten thousand of years long, such a tiny amount of time was perhaps considered just a nap. But to average humans, this meant more than ten generations of cycles of life and death.

This was a relatively long period of time, even for Magi. A few low-ranking Magi perhaps didn't even possess such a long life expectancy and would all perish to the sands of time like almost everything else.

Only the almighty high-ranking beings would pay no attention to the passing of time like that.

For the average Magus in the south coast or even the subterranean world, the news of the outside world that left the deepest impression on them in this long period of time was probably the sudden rise of the Ouroboros Clan to power and fall of the Sky City with the death of Monarch of Skies Zabofel.

The present-day Ouroboros Clan had long broken away from the embarrassing phase of having only two or three small fries. Instead, it had grown to become an influential power that spanned across the entire Magus World.

Its formidable influence even extended to the subterranean world.

The establishment of the Kingdom of Dalaran, which was ruled by Kirin Tor, whose center was the Ouroboros Clan.

The Bloodline Monarch has worked very hard in the past century to ensure the successful rise of the magocratic kingdom and the most powerful magus organization that existed on the surface world till the ages of the ancients.

Seeing the need and use for a powerful faction after the fall of the Monarch of Skies Zabofel, it was the magocratic kingdom of Dalaran and Kirin Tor that filled the emptiness after the fall of the stronger orthodox magus faction.

After the initial chaos that was created by the fall of Monarch of Skies Zabofel and his organization, wars erupted across the entire surface world.

That was to be expected, as his organization was the largest on the surface world and supported countless smaller magus organizations or circles.

After several years, Bloodline Monarch, on the day of his wedding to three snake women from the Purgatory World who settled in the Magus World and ruled the Alabaster City, he announced the formation of the Kingdom of Dalaran and Kirin Tor.

Dalaran served as a magocratic kingdom for Magi, Warlocks and other sub-groups that ruled the nation.

It encompassed large parts of the Central Continent, former territories of the Ouroboros Clan, the former organization of Monarch of Skies, territories under the control of Monarch of Flames, Warlock Union and other organizations.

Aside from that, it controlled the entire South Coast and almost half of the 1st Layer of the Subterranean World after they took it from the Arthur Empire that couldn't handle outbursts of magical beasts

While the Kingdom of Dalaran forced more on daily matters and people who administered it were directly appointed from the Kirin Tor, mostly composed of Magi who reached the end of their talent and couldn't progress any further.

Thus they were sent to the management.

On the contrary, Kirin Tor was the place where the real power was concentrated.

Kirin Tor or the Magus Senate of the Kirin Tor was built with the Ouroboros Clan in the center, around which the other groups that were slowly assimilated into the Kirin Tor were concentrated.

The entire organization was ruled by the Council of Six, which was personally appointed by the Grand Magus Lord of Kirin Tor, Leylin Farlier, who was the absolute ruler of the Kirin Tor. At the same time, he also bore the title of Emperor of Dalaran for the more "mortal" part of the organization.

The headquarters of the Kirin Tor were in the floating city that was ironically named Dalaran after Leylin obtained the blueprints from Gu Long for some price.

While it was impossible to construct the floating city on the same level, they managed to construct a downgraded version that still had the firepower to dispose of most Rank 7 Beings of Law when it was fully charged.

The entire system was designed in such a way it would give the Ouroboros Clan, respectively, the Farlier Family, absolute power, which naturally paid off.

With his bloodline being Half-Step to Rank 7 Being of Law, it wasn't a problem for the direct descendants of the Emperor of Dalaran and Grand Magus Lord of Kirin Tor to reach Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magus stage within one hundred years or even less.

Just the Farlier Family had several Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Warlocks in their folds, with the entire number of the Ouroboros Clan's number of Rank 6 exceeding more than forty. This was an absolutely frightening prospect compared to the past times when the Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magi were rare.

Obviously, the resources that Leylin got from Father of All Devils through Gu Long played a huge role in this fast development because if not for them, he wouldn't be able to develop the Clan to such a frightening degree.

The entirety of the Kirin Tor had more than 50 Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magi because most of them stemmed from the Ouroboros Clan and only a few of them were not from the Ouroboros Clan and Farlier Family.

Aside from that, he also had the advice of Gu Long, as he learned that the Dragon Prince was someone who got the best education that the entire worth of the Universe could produce and he was very wise and intelligent.

His advice often proved to be much more valuable, especially for Leylin, who didn't really know how to develop a faction properly.

So, with the help of Gu Long, who was cultivated to be the successor of Gu Yuena, everything was going as smoothly as it should.
