Chapter 293: The Triangular Plane Cluster

Gao Jie Ming was probably experiencing for the first time just how popular logistics-system wizards were.

Even though he had deliberately chosen a corner with fewer people, the moment his feet touched the ground of the Assembly Square, cast from an unknown metal, Gao Jie Ming clearly felt countless gazes focusing on the alchemy emblem on his chest like searchlights.

The meaning contained in those gazes was one of fervent need and urgent desire.

On a plane battlefield fraught with danger and difficult resource resupply, logistics-system wizards specializing in alchemy could not only quickly repair equipment, manufacture consumables, and utilize battlefield resources according to local conditions, but they also possessed combat power far exceeding that of combat-system wizards of the same level.

It could be said that among all logistics-system wizards, alchemists and potion-makers were the most welcomed group.

After waiting a moment, seeing that Gao Jie Ming seemed to have no teammates, the surrounding wizards began to act.

The quickest-reacting wizard instantly transformed his body into countless feathers of light that scattered.

Almost simultaneously, these feathers of light recondensed before Gao Jie Ming, revealing their true form—a man whose aura reached that of a Level Three Wizard, and on his chest prominently wore an alchemy emblem as well.

"Fellow colleague," the Feather-of-Light Wizard spoke with extreme speed, carrying clearly visible sincerity, "I am the captain of the 'Furnace Heart' squad; our team lacks an alchemy expert like you. Resources will be supplied with priority, security protection will be at the highest level, and spoils will be distributed according to contribution. How about it?"

Feeling the opponent's substantial aura and recognizing his fellow status as a logistics-system wizard, Gao Jie Ming's heart stirred slightly.

But he still slowly shook his head, his tone peaceful yet firm: "Thank you for your invitation, but I have no intention of forming a team at this stage; I am accustomed to acting alone."

Hearing this, a trace of obvious regret flashed in the Feather-of-Light Wizard's eyes.

However, he also saw that Gao Jie Ming was not putting on airs, so he stopped pressing, nodding instead: "What a pity... then might we exchange contact information?"

"Certainly!"

Gao Jie Ming extended his Magic Network Terminal and exchanged contact communication codes with the other party.

Just now, he had also instantly observed that the opponent's squad contained quite a few logistics-system wizards, while the combat-system wizards were all existences above Level Three, making their strength quite impressive.

"Then, I look forward to meeting you on the battlefield." Having said this, the wizard's body once again turned into feathers of light, vanishing from the spot instantly.

Taking advantage of the fact that other eager wizards nearby had not yet approached, Gao Jie Ming deliberately raised his voice slightly, letting it clearly spread across the small surrounding area: "Everyone, I am not forming a team for now; there is no need to ask further."

At these words, most of those scorching gazes focused on him withdrew with regret, turning to seek other targets instead.

Only then could Gao Jie Ming breathe a slight sigh of relief and begin to observe this vast assembly ground.

Just then, a pressure so immense it was indescribable, as if originating from the world itself, swept over the entire square above like an invisible tide!

All noisy sounds vanished instantly.

The "sky" originally simulated at the junction point cracked open with three huge fissures like fragile glass!

Three figures descended slowly from the cracks, carrying a calmness that disregarded all things.

They were precisely the supreme commanders of this expeditionary force—three Level Seven Wizards!

They spoke no superfluous words, merely sweeping their vast spiritual sense over the entire venue to announce their titles: "Arbiter" Dixon, "Spellweaver" Merist, and "All-Things-to-Silence" Obolos.

The wizards collectively held their breath; they had indeed guessed that this plane war would be grand in scale, but they had not expected the deployment of three Level Seven Wizards!

Immediately afterward, the three lords raised their hands simultaneously.

Boom!

The environment above the entire Assembly Square changed completely!

In its place appeared a boundless, huge plane phantom seemingly composed of pure energy; like the most magnificent starship, it obscured the "sky," emitting a majestic aura that made one feel both reassured and alarmed.

Looking at the phantom in the sky, Gao Jie Ming could not help but swallow hard.

That should also be a ship-plane, but unlike those desolate-surfaced ship-planes he had ridden before, this plane had undergone even deeper modification!

Rather than saying it was a modified plane, it was more accurate to say it was a warship forged using a plane as material.

"Board the ship."

A simple command entered the mind of every wizard via the Magic Network Terminal.

Requiring no excessive direction, a million wizards, like a well-trained military formation, turned into streams of flowing light and entered the huge "ship" plane above in an orderly fashion.

Gao Jie Ming followed the crowd, entering this incredible "plane warship."

The moment he entered, Gao Jie Ming felt as though he had been transported to a certain region, along with over ten thousand other wizards.

Clearly, he had been automatically assigned to this wizard formation.

This space was vast beyond imagination; Gao Jie Ming could not help but activate his All-Purpose Eye: "This... is truly an exaggerated display of scale."

Judging from the spatial fluctuations detected by the All-Purpose Eye, the internal space of this entire plane had utilized spatial expansion techniques.

Just like the region where Gao Jie Ming currently stood, it possessed mountains, rivers, cities, and plains—everything one would expect of a complete small world, except that all matter flowed with rich rune brilliance.

Very soon, everyone's Magic Network Terminal received a detailed pre-war intelligence report.

【Target: Triangular Plane Cluster】

【Structure: Trinity, stable triangular configuration, interconnected origins.】

【Threat Level: Extremely High (possesses high-speed learning evolution and cross-plane colonization capabilities)】

【Main Hostile Forces:

Giant Spirit Realm: World Master "Kog" (Level Eight). Worships absolute power; the civilization's main body consists of giant war constructs and flesh-modified warriors.

Mind Realm: World Master "Shira" (Level Eight). A soul civilization specializing in mental control and illusion attacks; its social structure is a collective consciousness network.

Proliferation Realm: World Master "Fungus Lord" (Level Eight). A biomass civilization known for infinite evolution and devouring; the boundaries between individuals and civilization are blurred.】

【Combat Order: Complete destruction.】

【Note: The enemy possesses an extremely exaggerated learning ability; every one of your failures and every death may become the next sharp arrow the enemy fires at our compatriots. Therefore, in this war, once defeated or killed during combat, leave no prisoners, leave no corpses, leave no traces whatsoever for them to learn from!】

"Complete destruction..." Gao Jie Ming repeated these four words in a low voice.

Even with his calmness, his heart could not help but tighten.

This meant that this was no longer a normal resource plunder or territorial conquest, but an extinction on the level of civilization!

As for the reason, it was very simple: naturally, it was the learning and evolutionary abilities of these three plane creatures!

It was no exaggeration to say that the reason the wizard civilization had developed to its current state also relied on its ability to learn, absorb, and evolve from the knowledge of other civilizations.
