Synthetic Wizard

If we don’t clarify the context, we might unintentionally conflict with other forces in the future.

Although Lize knew numerous forces thoroughly during her time in the Starfall Association, information about the Starlight Continent has lagged due to its two-thousand-year blockade, so she must gather the latest intelligence.

As for how to gather it, the traveling Wizard Tanner who is stranded on the Starlight Continent and All Things City are undoubtedly excellent channels for information.

Coincidentally, All Things City was established by a group of traveling Wizards, maybe Tanner could be a link to find the ’intelligence merchants’ in All Things City.

After delegating future matters to Lize, Sunan returned to the top level of the Wizard Tower.

Having successfully become an affiliated organization of the Wisdom Code, he felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off his heart.

The preparations made by the Star Alliance over hundreds of years have finally yielded results.

However, it’s not yet time to relax completely.

Having caused such a major setback for the Dark Throne, it goes without saying that they will surely not let it go easily.

Even with the protection of the Wisdom Code, it’s not necessarily 100% safe.

The best way to protect oneself is to enhance one’s own power.

If the Star Alliance becomes strong enough to match or even surpass the Dark Throne, then the latter would be the one to worry.

"It’s not time to be arrogant and complacent yet."

"This time, the attack was only on a substitute Wizard in royal robes from the Dark Throne; above them are Wizards in royal robes, crown Wizards, and the Three Thrones!"

"Compared to these entities, Youxi is merely a somewhat stronger ant."

Despite these words, Sunan was not overly concerned.

For large forces like the Dark Throne, their focus is either on the Realm of Truth or on conquering new plane communities. They won’t devote much attention to the Starlight Continent, which is still just a small locale right now.

At least in the short term, there’s no need to worry about retaliation from the Dark Throne.

"What needs to be done next is to enhance our strength while quickly advancing to become a True Spirit Wizard, and at the same time, strengthen the Star Alliance."

These two aspects complement each other.

"I recall that after the Starlight Calendar year 2000, there were several significant events in the multiverse, perhaps we can make use of them."

Sunan recalled that there seemed to be three particularly noteworthy major events.

The first was the internal war of the Wizard World.

The war broke out with the Lawful Faction led by the Deep Blue Alliance, Wisdom Code, and Star Spirit Bell Tower fighting against the Evil Faction led by the Dark Throne, Bloodline Jungle, and the Spirit of the Wild.

This war affected thousands of planes!

Even in the eternal history of the multiverse, this was a rare large-scale war!

Meanwhile, some Divine Spirits took advantage, stirring the situation further, making it even more chaotic.

And the second major event was related to the Divine Spirits—a battle where Wizards jointly ambushed a Divine Spirit!

The ambushed party was none other than the Spider Goddess Queen, whom Sunan had encountered twice.

The cause of the ambush was that the Spider Goddess Queen was injured during a fight with other Divine Spirits, and some Wizards somehow got the information and teamed up to attack, intending to seize the opportunity to kill the Goddess.

But the final outcome was the complete annihilation of these Wizards.

Many people later analyzed that it was suspected to be a conspiracy set by the Spider Goddess Queen, given her notoriously cunning and evil nature in the multiverse.

Sunan felt this was worth focusing on; perhaps he could act as the ’oriole watching from the behind’ when the time came.

The third event was related to the Ancient Insect Race.

The Ancient Insect Race is a species of alien insects from the Ancient Insect Plane community, extremely aggressive and destructive, often invading other planes, bringing death and destruction.

However, this race previously only caused harm in remote areas of the multiverse to some isolated planes, so neither Wizards nor Divine Spirits paid much attention to them.

Until later, the Ancient Insect Race suddenly seemed to go wild, attacking many planes indiscriminately, not even sparing the domains of Wizards and Divine Spirits, which led to a joint counterattack from both sides.

As for the final outcome, Sunan had no idea.

Before that, he had already traversed over.

"The Wizard internal war seems to have occurred around the Starlight Calendar year 2600, while the ambush of the Spider Goddess Queen happened after the Starlight Calendar year 3500, the specific time..."

Sunan shook his head; he had initially considered these matters mere anecdotes and didn’t pay attention to the specific timing, now he could only recall a rough outline.

"Forget it, I’ll just pay closer attention when the time comes."

Setting aside the Ancient Insect Race, the Wizard internal war and the ambush of the Spider Goddess Queen, if utilized well, could greatly accelerate the development of the Star Alliance.

Especially the former; such a large-scale war would inevitably drag the Star Alliance into it whether Sunan wanted to stay out of it or not.

Rather than be caught off guard at that time, it would be better to prepare in advance to turn a crisis into an opportunity!

"Setting a small goal for myself—to lead the Star Alliance in conquering a plane community and become a large Wizard force!"

"In this way, even if we break away from the Wisdom Code, we will have the power to confront the Dark Throne alone!"

Having decided on future goals, Sunan felt a bit relieved and turned to pondering cultivation matters.

After advancing to a Level 3 Wizard, he immediately absorbed all the divine energy he had accumulated previously.

However, due to the short time from Level 2 Crystallization to advancing as a Level 3 Wizard, there weren’t many Elemental Crystal Cores accumulated, so the Spiritual Refinement Level didn’t change significantly after absorption.

The Spiritual Refinement Level of a Level 3 Wizard progresses frustratingly slow; even with the three layers of buffs—sixth-tier potions, ultra-large Elemental Pool, and divine energy—stacked, the cultivation speed is still not very ideal.

Sunan cultivated for more than two months, and the Spiritual Refinement Level increased by only 0.01%.

"Next, I could procure Elemental Crystal Dust from the Wisdom Code; daily maximized divine energy absorption should significantly speed up the cultivation rate."

Sunan roughly estimated that if sufficient divine energy was available for absorption, he could break through to Level 3 Liquidation within two to three hundred years.

If things go smoothly, he might break through to Level 3 Crystallization in four to five hundred years.

After that, he can start perceiving the Power of Law.

If things go smoothly, he might advance to become a True Spirit Wizard before the ambush of the Spider Goddess Queen!

As a True Spirit Wizard, intervening in the god-killing action would undoubtedly have more assurance.

"There’s also Witchcraft Artifact synthesis and upgrading and continued learning of five-ring spells."

In fact, at Level 3, the boost spells provide to a Wizard’s combat strength is not very noticeable.

The combat among Level 3 Wizards involves more use of Talent Abilities and Witchcraft Artifacts.

And reaching the level of True Spirit Wizard, the impact of spells is even more insignificant.

The true key influencing strength is the Power of Law.

But even so, Sunan doesn’t intend to give up on learning spells.

In his view, the greatest role of spells is not enhancing combat strength but their applicability in specific situations.

A truly powerful Wizard must have comprehensive abilities without weaknesses.

No matter the situation encountered, there should be a way to resolve it, not just a brute obsessed with combat and slaughter.

And spells can often play unexpected roles.

Taking five-ring spells, for example, when encountering barriers likely impossible to break through with brute force, one can cast [Remove Barrier].

If wanting to control Otherworldly Creatures, one can cast [Minor Otherworld Bond].

For long-distance teleportation spanning hundreds of kilometers, one can cast [Teleportation Skill].

If wanting to remotely monitor a certain area or target, one can cast [Peeping Demon Eye].

There’s even [Demon Soul Pot], allowing possession of another creature!

The roles of spells are varied and peculiar, with attack and defense only being the two most numerous categories; besides these, there are many other types with unique functions.

Perhaps they come in handy at some crucial moment.

Therefore, Sunan doesn’t plan to give up on spells.

After all, learning spells is not hard for him, far easier and simpler than it is for other Wizards.

A small bit of daily time, accumulated over years, will result in a significant number of mastered spells.

"Next, I also need to find time to visit the Astral Tide Realm once."

Sunan took a deep breath, sat cross-legged beside the Elemental Pool, and began training after taking out the Elemental Crystal Core.
