Chapter 1146: Urging for Manuscripts, Plane Corpses

Currently, the coverage of the Daxia Territory's Land Grant System-Order Force is not large, and the number of people it affects is not many; it simply cannot compare to the development system led by the Princess.

Only after one ritual assistance did Xia Duo fully master the 【Land Grant System-Order Force】.

Even for other Order Forces, even without ritual assistance, as long as there are no major mishaps in the Territory, they can complete the Order Cycle in a relatively short time under the push of daily Spellcasting, thereby bringing them under control.

Xia Duo estimates that he can complete the circulation of the 【Xia Duo Order System】 Order Force by the end of this year at the latest; if there are a few more purposeful rituals during this period, it might even be earlier.

He can still wait for this amount of time, so he does not intend to specifically hold any rituals; as long as the Territory is managed well, that is better than anything else.

Order Force is ultimately rooted in order; with order as the foundation, as long as the order remains unchanged, the Order Force will naturally not be in danger of changing.

Deliberately shaping rituals might instead disturb people's hearts, just like the annual meetings on Earth; they are said to be for employees to relax, but in the end, the ones who are most tired and least want the annual meeting are the employees themselves.

Forms can exist, but formalism must not.

……

After the ritual.

Under the direction of the security officers, the residents left in order; Xia Duo glanced at Laidun, who had already begun to handle the follow-up matters of the land grant, and called Niya to leave first.

However, before leaving, he still sent a Sending to Lawrence and the others who were mixed in among the residents watching the ceremony, reminding them not to forget the submission deadline in two days!

After returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo suddenly felt that he had become idle; recently, apart from going to see the simple literacy teaching materials created by those seven Bards in two days, there was nothing else that had to be done immediately.

"Finally, I can go to the Yellow Sand Semi-Plane!"

In fact, going to the Yellow Sand Semi-Plane does not take much effort, but over this past period, Xia Duo has always been tied up by various matters; if he were just to go and come back, there would really be no need to waste this time and energy.

After telling Niya, Xia Duo teleported directly to the Plane Exploration Layer and then walked to the Preparation Teleportation Hall; all Other Planes discovered by the Exploration Array have their Portals opened here.

Of course, if one records the Plane Coordinate and has mastered the corresponding Teleportation Spell, one can also cast spells to teleport on one's own in any area that supports plane teleportation.

Xia Duo naturally has such a Teleportation Spell; for suitable teleportation areas, choosing any place outside the Tower of Time where the Magic Net is normal is feasible.

But not using a ready-made, safer Portal—wouldn't that be stupid!

Moreover, the Portal of the Tower of Time lasts longer, which is very suitable for Xia Duo's current situation of single-person experimentation; if he needs anything temporarily, he can also enter and exit to retrieve it at any time.

After ordering the Tower Spirit to open the Portal, Xia Duo waited for a few seconds, observed the mirror surface of the Portal for a moment, and only walked in after confirming there were no problems.

……

After more than a year, the Yellow Sand Semi-Plane welcomed Xia Duo's visit again, but in this year or more, there has been no change here at all.

It is still a space the size of a basketball court; looking around, apart from sand, there is only sand.

Of course, the pits, wooden supports, and withered plants left behind by Aiboke's experiments here previously still exist to this day.

Aiboke's experiment was not an experiment on a Plane Domain, but rather wanting to see if this place could be transformed into a place similar to an Arcane Garden.

The result is self-evident; naturally, it was not possible!

This Semi-Plane has a structural deficiency at the Plane Root; specifically, this Semi-Plane does not contain any water.

If it were just a lack of water, that would be one thing, but the key is that the deficiency in the plane structure affects the Magic Net; any Spell related to water cannot be cast due to the lack of necessary elements.

That is to say, in this Yellow Sand Semi-Plane, if one wants water, one can only introduce it from the outside or use Arcane Energy to create water.

For this kind of water resource, if it were only used for planting, then what kind of precious plant would be worthy of it!

After determining that transforming it into an Arcane Garden was not feasible, Aiboke wanted to transform this Semi-Plane into a warehouse, and this is already the worst kind of application for a Semi-Plane; after all, where can a warehouse not be built? Must it be a Semi-Plane?

But the idea of transforming it into a warehouse was rejected by Xia Duo, and the reason was the same: where can a warehouse not be built? Instead, this pristine Semi-Plane is very rare, and its research value is greater than its use value.

In the future, if the Tower of Time masters more Semi-Planes, it won't be a pity to take a few and transform them into warehouses, but for now, it is better to maintain the status quo.

Of course, this is mainly because the research direction Aiboke selected was not in the Plane Domain; otherwise, he would certainly be reluctant to waste such a pristine, natural Semi-Plane at will.

……

After observing roughly for a moment, Xia Duo quickly determined that here, apart from the plane environment visible to the naked eye, its internal Magic Net environment and Plane Root had not undergone any changes.

Although theoretically the lifespan of a Semi-Plane is very short and collapse is its final outcome, this lifespan is compared to a normal Plane.

Like the Main Plane, it has existed for who knows how many years, and now one cannot see any possibility of collapse; at least in the foreseeable future, it will continue to exist.

To say this Semi-Plane has a short lifespan—perhaps Xia Duo won't even live to see it reach the end of its life!

Xia Duo has only been away for a year or so; how much change could have occurred? There certainly is some, but it is indeed beyond the scope of simple observation.

There must be more accurate measurement methods to discover those almost negligible changes.

However, this time, Xia Duo came only to verify the feasibility of plane transformation, which belongs to a qualitative experiment, not a quantitative experiment.

……

In order to save time and facilitate Spellcasting, Xia Duo simply unfolded his Arcane Fire and controlled the Micro Magic Net to cast spells, rather than adapting the Spells to the Magic Net environment here.

The Magic Net of this Semi-Plane is affected by the deficiency in the plane structure and also has a deficiency in elements (not a structural deficiency, but an inability to constitute a certain element); the Spells he wants to cast might really not be able to adapt here!

It is better to use the Micro Magic Net and Arcane Energy he possesses to cast spells.

This is the convenience of an Arcanist; if it were an ordinary Archmage, even one close to a Legendary existence, coming here would require first adapting to the Magic Net environment; otherwise, they might not even be able to release a single Spell!

Currently, Xia Duo is casting an 8th-ring unknown Spell, the only function of which is to forcibly link to the Inner Plane; perhaps after using it this time, there will never be another chance to use it.

The so-called structural deficiency at the Plane Root, in layman's terms, is that at the beginning of the plane's birth, it did not receive "capital injection" from any Inner Plane, and it has never been linked since.

Like the 【Blue Crystal Plane】 discovered by the Tower of Time, although it is full of water and presents an obvious Water Element affinity, this plane does not lack any elements at the root.

Therefore, the Blue Crystal Plane is a Plane and can continue to grow; in contrast, a Semi-Plane has been going downhill since its birth and has no room for any growth.
