Chapter 2254: Chapter 1129: Senior Sister’s Magic Eye (2)

But, in reality, being a Peak Witch is already the pinnacle of many witches’ lives. Until the Peak Period, you can still rely on accumulation and hard work. In theory, as long as you live long enough and are willing to settle down and study magic diligently, every Great Witch has the opportunity to become a Supreme Peak. It’s merely a matter of time.

However, the Wise Man’s Barrier is truly a great divide.

Among the tens of thousands of Peaks, there are four to five thousand Supreme Peaks qualified to participate in the Sage assessment. After all, the older Peaks generally manage to persevere to the Upper-Level, and Peak witches have means of resurrection, easily escaping death. Therefore, barring accidents, this number will only gradually increase over time.

Yet, even with such a large number of applicants, the total number of Sages in the Witch World is still less than fifty.

This shows just how difficult it is to comprehend Authority.

Everyone has heard that Authority is differentiated into various classes, for instance, the Destiny Authority of the God King, the Heavenly Heart Authority of the Dragon King, and the Original Sin and Contract Power of the Devil King are all among the highest of Authorities.

While Elemental Authority, like Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, is relatively common and lower.

Of course, even the lowest Authority is still Authority, and for those below the Sages, they can handle it with ease. However, there are distinctions among Sages, and if one can comprehend a higher Authority, it’s usually more formidable than a lower one.

It’s said that the combat power difference among Sages no longer relies on just the level of Magic Power or the intensity of magic as ordinary witches do. Instead, it largely depends on the level of Authority and the degree of comprehension. Those like the Three Kings who comprehended heaven-defying Authority early on, once promoted to Sages, become nearly invincible among them.

In any case, the Grand Inquisitors present were undoubtedly the geniuses of geniuses. They are not like those old folks who became Peaks through age and accumulation. Most of them are quite young, many are under ten thousand years old, yet even so, few dare to guarantee that they will comprehend Authority in the future.

Not to mention any Upper-Level Authority; they would be content even to comprehend some relatively common Elemental Authority.

However, the glance Lord Black Impermanence just gave was definitely not some ordinary lower Authority. What does this signify?

It only suggests that Lord Black Impermanence is a strong figure even among the Sages.

If they could gain the favor of Lord Black Impermanence, receiving a bit of guidance from this great figure, they would surely take fewer detours in comprehending Authority in the future.

So it’s not just for a bit of merit points that the Grand Inquisitors are compromising; what they really crave is the opportunity with Lord Black Impermanence himself.

The reason they choose to join the Judgment Court as Judges is not purely for executing justice, but also for the better development of their futures.

Though Judges are typically inheritors, the original Judges all came from relatively humble beginnings. Even now, they can’t be considered children of truly top families, for a family without even one Sage cannot be called a True Rich Family.

For those witches with ordinary backgrounds but excellent talent, the best path is to take the exams and climb up, and the Judgment Court is considered a desirable position.

In other units, you may have to compete fiercely for a top spot to get a chance to sit in on the Council of Sages and get a few words of advice from them. However, the Great Judges of the Judgment Court are frequently Sage leaders, and becoming a Grand Inquisitor allows easy access to the Great Judges.

Nevertheless, Sages also have preferences in Authority; they are not truly Omniscient and Omnipotent, hence can’t offer guidance to everyone easily. Even Lord Pan, the oldest and strongest among the three Great Judges, doesn’t know many things.

Therefore, there are always those unlucky ones with rare and special Strengths who couldn’t receive excellent guidance.

They thought they might have to rely on themselves, slowly exploring on their own. But then, the Judgment Court suddenly expanded, adding the Underworld Faction and a new Great Judge, Lord Black Impermanence, sparking hope in many once again.

Though reason tells them Lord Black Impermanence is likely no stronger or more knowledgeable than Lord Pan, what if?

Well, hope is better than no hope.

Thus, many Grand Inquisitors are eager to jump ship to the Underworld Faction.

Unfortunately, the last Vampire Clan task, although issued by Lord Black Impermanence, was led by Lord Clown. Now, they finally see the mysterious new Grand Judge with their own eyes.

Yes, they must perform well, striving to make a name for themselves in front of the distinguished figure.

These were the thoughts in everyone’s mind.

Of course, Dorothy observed everyone’s behavior, a slight smirk forming beneath her mask.

Good, the fish are biting.

Today, she wasn’t merely here to show off, but to find reliable allies for the future.

The Grand Inquisitors before her could indeed be a force to win over, but since they were still not familiar with each other, she needed to think of ways to win their hearts first, lest they become a problem in the future.
