Chapter 140

The aftermath of the plane war appeared exceptionally calm in the wizard camp of the Noren Workshop.

There were no deafening celebrations, nor were there grand award ceremonies.

Wizards have always been rational and practical creatures; they value knowledge and results more.

Even for this trial, if it weren't for the fact that it related to the division ratio of the ownership of the Aelossia plane afterward, I'm afraid even that contribution leaderboard symbolizing honor wouldn't have been listed.

However, this sudden victory also brought unexpected gains to all the wizard apprentices participating in the trial—they ended the year-long trial ahead of schedule and gained an extra half-year of precious free time.

This is an extremely precious time for settling down; for wizards, knowledge and wisdom are far more important than simple level elevation.

Only by accumulating enough knowledge and mastering it thoroughly can a wizard truly be worthy of their current stage and prepare for the impact on a higher level.

Jie Ming did the same.

After settling down in the camp, he immediately threw all trivial matters to the back of his mind and plunged into knowledge research.

He knew that these six months would be the golden period for his self-improvement.

Looking at his research notes, Jie Ming drew a circle around the content related to the divine power faith network: "Let's prioritize research on knowledge in this area..."

To discuss the divine power faith network, one must first start with the existence of "gods."

Even in the infinite multiverse, worlds with living beings that are genuine "gods" are in the minority.

In the vast majority of worlds, those "gods" worshipped by mortals are merely living beings of a slightly higher level, or projections of some powerful creatures; they have not truly mastered the core laws of the plane.

True gods, regardless of their strength, at the beginning of their birth, naturally master a certain special rule of the plane and can use this as a cornerstone to form a unique divine office.

And gods are divided into two types: primordial gods and faith gods.

These two types of gods, whichever one it is, represent great benefits and research value.

For example, primordial gods, in the eyes of wizards, are completely living "embodiments of rules."

It is no exaggeration to say that one primordial god, regardless of their strength, as long as they can be thoroughly researched, is enough to allow a wizard to advance to level 6 smoothly all the way.

Because the birth of a primordial god means their deep integration with the plane's origin; they themselves are a certain manifestation of the plane's laws.

Researching them is equivalent to directly learning the most core secrets of the plane.

And faith gods, although slightly weaker than primordial gods in strength and power stability, are in no way inferior to primordial gods in value.

And generally speaking, the number of faith gods is actually fewer than that of primordial gods.

Because the conditions for the birth of faith gods are more stringent, far from what simple powerful creatures can achieve.

Many people think that gods existed first, then faith; there are also a small number of people who think that faith existed first, then gods.

But in reality, through in-depth research on the divine power faith network, Jie Ming has already confirmed that both of these views are wrong.

He can now be certain that an efficient energy transmission system existed first, then faith, and then gods.

Simply put, the prerequisite for a god to be born in a plane is that the plane inherently possesses a certain special, extremely efficient energy transmission and conversion system.

Then, this system can enrich a certain special energy, and under certain coincidental circumstances, combine with a specific living being, or even the energy itself gives birth to a will, and subsequently becomes a faith god.

And to achieve this step, the efficiency of the energy transmission and conversion system possessed by the plane must be extremely high, so high that it can be called extremely exaggerated.

It can be said that in every plane with faith gods, there is a divine power faith network with extremely local characteristics... or rather, an energy transmission and conversion system.

If researching the rules on primordial gods thoroughly can allow a wizard to rise directly to level 6, then a naturally formed energy transmission and conversion system like this is completely enough for a wizard to use forever.

Its theoretical depth and application prospects may even exceed simple level elevation.

The best way to research this naturally formed energy transmission and conversion system is naturally to research the already formed gods themselves.

After all, the energy operation paths within these gods can almost be said to be a perfect replica of the plane's conversion system.

But even if the gods have been captured, staying in the plane and continuously researching the residual characteristics of the plane itself can also have good effects.

The Aelossia plane is now just such an excellent "living dissection table" from which the gods have been stripped.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and Jie Ming researched and absorbed this knowledge hungrily.

He devoted all his energy to the research of the residual energy network of the Aelossia plane.

At the same time, he went deep into his mental sea again and again, deducing rune models, and integrating the various new knowledge he had recently acquired into his own wizardry system.

The gains were astonishing.

Through continuous research on the energy transmission and conversion system of this plane, just the three wizardry models in his mental sea were automatically optimized three times!

Each optimization brought a qualitative leap.

They consumed less mental power when released, had a wider range, and higher intensity.

In the testing room, Jie Ming, who had finished releasing wizardry, looked at the results displayed on the instrument before him and couldn't help but let out a breath:

"Not bad, it's a pity that the precision of the manipulation didn't have time to improve, otherwise these three types of wizardry could have officially advanced to level-1 wizardry."

It was just that the three wizardry models Jie Ming constructed at the current stage were all logistics-based; beyond pure energy output, they also required excellent operational ability to improve effects, which is why the improvement was "not very obvious."

If he were to autonomously construct an attack-type wizardry model now, its combat power could directly exceed the vast majority of pure combat-type level-1 wizards!

However, for Jie Ming, this was not a big problem.

Through modifications to his rune wizarding tool, he could also achieve or even exceed the combat effects brought by pure attack-type wizardry.

Thinking of this, he took out something that looked like a metal bracelet, with external rune patterns scattered on it.

This somewhat crude-looking bracelet was the "prototype" of the new rune wizarding tool; it was mainly because his research on the energy transmission and conversion system represented by the divine power faith network at the current stage had not reached a bottleneck, and the modifications to the rune wizarding tool changed almost every day, so he didn't pay much attention to the external appearance.

"It was clearly made just a week ago, but looking at it now, there are quite a few flaws."

Even without fully researching all the mysteries of this energy transmission and conversion system, just the knowledge Jie Ming possessed now, after being retrofitted onto the rune wizarding tool, under the condition that the level of the rune wizarding tool remained unchanged, the instantaneous explosive energy intensity and the efficiency of extracting elemental power from the surrounding air for his own use had both increased by more than double!

This meant that the energy endurance and instantaneous explosive power of the rune wizarding tool had been significantly enhanced.

Most importantly, the rune wizarding tool most suitable for this extremely high energy conversion efficiency was not attack-type or defense-type, but the element storage-type rune wizarding tool developed by Jie Ming!

If this efficiency could be applied to the element storage-type rune wizarding tool, then his future element reserves and the efficiency of wizardry release would reach an astonishing level.

However, time was still too tight; the modification of the element storage-type rune wizarding tool was more complex than the rune wizarding tool itself, and Jie Ming didn't have time to carry it out for the time being.

Just as Jie Ming was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, his wizarding tool vibrated again, displaying a communication request.

He took a look; it was David.

Jie Ming accepted the communication.

David's projection appeared before him, still the same calm and slightly fatigued scholar image.

"Jie Ming, sorry to keep you waiting." David's voice carried a hint of hoarseness, "I have already delineated all the areas for the native intelligent living beings of the Aelossia plane that need to be received and submitted them to the camp. You can go to receive them at any time."

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Jie Ming's eyes, "You handled it so quickly?"

Jie Ming heard this, but felt somewhat troubled.

His space in the camp was limited, and he couldn't receive and settle these living creatures in large quantities.

David seemed to see his concerns and smiled slightly: "Don't worry about the space problem. Although the entire plane cluster hasn't had time to be fully sorted out, the main plane of the Aelossia plane has been roughly cleared."

"In areas like the human kingdom, the wizard camp has already completely occupied them and carried out preliminary planning. You can now completely carve out a piece of territory to use first; if you need more areas later, you can also carve out other territories based on contribution."

Jie Ming heard this, and his eyes lit up sharply!

Because he suddenly thought of an excellent place.

The mansion he bought in Golden Port had undergone extensive modifications.

Not just the underground laboratory, but even the entire manor was shrouded in a level-6 magic array, secret and safe; it was a very suitable base in itself.

Most importantly, most areas of that city had already turned into ruins, a mess, which was instead very suitable for his large-scale reconstruction and modification later, and it was also more convenient for him to unfold some unknown experiments.

"Golden Port!" Jie Ming blurted out, a sincere smile appearing on his face, "David, I've decided to choose Golden Port as my first territory! I will apply to the camp management to receive the entire area where Golden Port is located. By then, send the people and the notes there."

A hint of a smile also appeared on David's face: "Golden Port? That's a pretty good place; no problem, I will arrange everything. Rest assured, I will send the subsequent modification potions one after another."

The communication was interrupted, Jie Ming stood up, looked toward the land of the Aelossia plane outside the camp, and took a deep breath.
