Chapter 235: Reward

It was a pity that this dean was not omnipotent after all.

The space teleportation gate beside him that had just been stabilized by everyone's joint efforts was completely destroyed by this terrifying self-detonation power that was close at hand.

The other wizards around couldn't react in time, and that Dean Avery Knight, who was the only one who could react, had all his energy at that time focused on dealing with the terrifying power emanating from the Destruction Demon God's self-detonation!

Thus, everyone could only watch helplessly as that gate to a new world shattered inch by inch under the impact of the destructive power like a mirror being smashed.

In the end, the black vortex completely collapsed and dissipated into the air!

It could be said to be... falling short of success!

Watching that black vortex leading to an unknown, rich world collapse completely before his eyes and dissipate into the most chaotic spatial turbulence, Dean Avery Knight's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

However, this level of accident was clearly not enough to shake his rock-solid state of mind.

He still appeared quite calm, just waving his hand casually, and completely imprisoned the remnant body of the Destruction Demon God, which had been sealed layer by layer, into a crystal constructed of pure soul power.

Afterwards, he precisely cut off a small part from the crystal, handed it to a Tier 5 wizard beside him who was good at reverse engineering, and began to issue a series of mission instructions in an unquestionable tone:

"Leave a small group of people, immediately start recording all the spatial change parameters just now. Although the spatial coordinates collapsed, the dissipated energy information still has huge research value!"

"Arrange another batch of people to conduct research on this sample, and give me the fastest speed to reverse-retrieve the plane coordinates where this thing is located!"

The dean's voice became serious: "The speed must be fast! Although I blocked most of his calls for help, such a powerful Tier 8 living being suddenly disappearing completely, the other party's civilization will definitely be alerted very quickly!"

"You must parse out the accurate coordinates again before the opposite side discovers the anomaly and makes a reaction!"

"Yes! Dean!"

The dozens of high-tier wizards floating in the sky nodded in unison.

Immediately, the wizards operated like precisely running machines, not even needing too much communication, and automatically divided their respective tasks according to the fields they were best at.

Those wizards who majored in spatial studies flew directly to the high altitude where the space storm had not yet subsided and began to release countless precision detectors to collect every bit of spatial energy that had just dissipated.

And those wizards who had extremely high attainments in biology and soul studies surrounded the remnant body of the Destruction Demon God, took out various strange alchemical instruments, and began preliminary research and dissection on the spot.

There were even two wizards who looked somewhat irritable who flew down directly and impatiently drove Gao Jie Ming and David, who were still standing blankly on the island, into mid-air like driving away flies.

Then, they collectively cast spells with several other wizards, actually forcibly moving the entire core island that had recorded the huge sacrificial array, along with the crust below it, up from the seabed.

Looking at these wizards, they seemed prepared to just carry it back to the laboratory for deeper analysis and research.

As for the Sage, whose mentality had completely collapsed and who was lying on the reef like mud, he was also casually "packed up" and taken away by a passing Tier 4 wizard using an energy shield.

Looking at his excited appearance, he should be wanting to see if he could research some bottom-layer technology about that unknown civilization from the Sage's polluted soul, and by the way, see if he could dig out some clues about spatial coordinates.

Gao Jie Ming and David floated in mid-air, watching the efficient sweeping actions of this group of high-tier wizards that could be called "scraping three feet deep."

For a time, the two of them didn't know what they should be doing now.

Just then, a figure appeared silently in front of the two.

It was Dean Avery Knight, who had finished dealing with everything.

Gao Jie Ming and David, after sensing the vast aura of the other party, instantly came back to their senses.

Immediately, with serious expressions, they bowed and saluted this legendary Tier 7 Great Wizard.

"Gao Jie Ming (David), greets Dean."

"No need for formalities."

Both sides exchanged simple greetings.

This Dean Avery Knight was clearly like a normal wizard, a person who acted decisively and didn't like to waste time.

He entered the topic very straightforwardly:

"Although there was a small mistake at the end, which led to us not being able to directly invade the opposite world. But that was our problem, and it has nothing to do with you."

"The intelligence you two provided this time was very accurate, and also crucial. Therefore, I intend to give you an extra reward in addition to the rewards settled by the academy's mission system."

Gao Jie Ming and David's eyes lit up instantly!

However, before they could start fantasizing about how generous this "extra reward" would be, what Dean Avery Knight said next left the two completely shocked.

He asked casually in a tone as flat as asking "what do you want to eat for dinner":

"Tell me, what type of 'Plane Origin' do you need?"

"Hiss—!"

Even though the two had long known that this reward would definitely be quite generous.

But upon hearing the four words "Plane Origin" spoken so lightly from the mouth of a Tier 7 wizard, they still couldn't help but gasp in unison.

The so-called "Plane Origin" could almost be said to be the top-level strategic material for assisting Tier 2 to Tier 6 wizards in advancing!

None other!

Because wizards above Tier 2 who want to continue advancing must have some understanding and perception of the "laws" of the world.

But wanting to study this thing out of thin air is not such a simple matter.

The essence of a wizard is a group of scholars who observe, learn, summarize the laws of all things, and try to use the power of weak individuals to pry the rules of the entire world.

And "laws" are the most fundamental and bottom-layer expression form of all rules of a world.

One can imagine how high the difficulty of wanting to study this thing is.

Unlike other core knowledge that is cherished by major factions.

In the Wizarding Civilization, knowledge related to "law research" is almost countless, and most of it is even in a semi-public state.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy it in the academy's database.

The most fundamental reason for this situation is that the nine great Tier 9 wizards standing at the pinnacle of the Wizarding Civilization have all completely published their understanding and research insights on all laws, from shallow to deep, for future generations to learn and refer to.

But even in such a superior, near-"spoon-feeding" educational environment, wizards who can truly rely on themselves to independently learn and study laws are still very few.

After all, some knowledge is not something you can definitely learn just because you have a textbook.

(Law textbooks of this world)

For this reason, wizards began to look for various auxiliary methods.

This includes keeping the soul and body in a state of extreme activation to significantly strengthen one's learning ability.

Or... using a more direct, more brutal method—finding a way to let the wizard's soul directly "understand" knowledge related to laws!

The so-called "Plane Origin" is such a thing.

"Plane Origin" can be understood as the collection of all "information" of a plane from birth to destruction.

The various laws born in this plane are also completely recorded within it.

The method wizards thought of was for high-tier wizards to take action and forcibly extract these "Plane Origins" from a complete plane.

Then, through special technology, inject it directly into the souls of those low-tier wizards!

The law information contained in those plane origins will naturally soak and assimilate the wizard's soul.

This means that the wizard who is injected, in theory, is equivalent to instantly mastering all the law information contained in those plane origins!

As long as the high-tier wizard responsible for extraction can precisely select and extract plane origins containing "single law" information.

Then, the injected wizard is naturally equivalent to mastering a massive amount of knowledge related to this law out of thin air!

In theory, as long as enough plane origins are used, it is entirely possible to let a wizard who knows nothing about laws master all knowledge related to a complete, single law in an instant!

Of course, such a convenient thing that is close to "cheating" naturally also has extremely huge troubles.

The primary one is that extracting "Plane Origin" will cause a certain degree of irreversible damage to that plane.

Although in theory, as long as the amount extracted is small enough, the damage suffered by the plane itself can slowly recover with the passage of time.

However, with the number of wizards growing rapidly like a snowball, the demand for "Plane Origin" by wizards has also become more and more.

It is said that the "Original Plane" of the Wizarding Civilization, which has already disappeared in the long river of history, was completely destroyed because it was excessively extracted of its origin.

And the reason wizards are so obsessed with constantly waging war on other planes, besides the desire for knowledge.

The most main purpose is to obtain new, healthy planes to extract "Plane Origin" to cultivate their own descendants.

Moreover, the preciousness of "Plane Origin" does not stop there.

Contacting Plane Origin is something only Tier 6 wizards can do, and wanting to safely and precisely extract "Plane Origin" from a plane requires at least a Tier 7 wizard!

And this is also a technical job; not every Tier 7 wizard is good at it.

Therefore, Dean Avery Knight's meaning at this moment could not be more obvious—he could take action personally to specifically extract the "Plane Origin" of the single law they needed most as a reward!
