Synthetic Wizard

"Thank you all for your hard work. Once the task handover is complete, I will transfer the contribution points to everyone according to their efforts. You can all go back and have a good rest now."

Rose turned to everyone and said with a smile.

"Yes, Lady Rose."

As one of the only three Level 1 Crystallization Wizards currently in the Star Alliance, Rose’s prestige among the wizards was not low. As soon as she spoke, everyone immediately responded respectfully and gradually left.

After everyone left, Rose first went to the task hall to hand over the task and then returned to her cultivation chamber.

Sitting cross-legged, Rose began cultivating.

The most obvious change after the plane lockdown was lifted was that the resources on the Star Alliance’s exchange list had increased significantly, with more variety.

Take the Elemental Crystal Core, for example. Before the plane lockdown was lifted, it was impossible to see Elemental Crystal Cores on the Star Alliance’s exchange list. In fact, they offered extremely high prices for Elemental Crystal Cores.

It was only after the plane lockdown was lifted, and they gained the internal trading rights for the Wisdom Code, that Elemental Crystal Cores began to appear on the exchange list.

Thanks to this, Rose’s cultivation speed increased considerably over the years, allowing her to break through to Level 1 Crystallization in just over eight centuries and successfully construct a second Talent Crystal Model.

Once she completes the step of filling her Spiritual Power, she can advance to a Level 2 Wizard.

"After advancing to a Level 2 Wizard, the contribution points I’ve accumulated should be enough to exchange for a small Wizard Tower."

Thinking of the Wizard Tower, Rose couldn’t help but feel a slight excitement.

Apart from the medium-sized Wizard Tower taken by Xingyun—no, it should be called Lize now—the Star Alliance’s exchange list has a total of four small Wizard Towers, each set with corresponding contribution points based on their equipment.

Although this contribution point is undoubtedly a ’discounted price’ compared to the value of the Wizard Tower itself, it is still an exaggerated number for ordinary wizards.

Currently, across the entire Star Alliance, only the Scepter has exchanged for a Wizard Tower.

Rose has also been accumulating contribution points for nearly two hundred years, and only now does she see a glimmer of hope.

"With a Wizard Tower, I can begin plane exploration."

Another change brought about by the lifting of the plane lockdown is that the Star Alliance has added quite a few plane tasks.

There are many planes in the multiverse that are either resource-poor and not worth conquering, or have indigenous forces that are too powerful, making the cost of conquest far exceed their inherent value, so no Wizard Influence is willing to dispatch armies for large-scale invasions.

They are more inclined to send small troops into the planes to collect resources.

The Star Alliance naturally followed suit, releasing various resource collection tasks over the years.

Moreover, the task rewards are generous.

After all, when collecting resources, besides potential battles with indigenous forces, conflicts with other Wizard Influences can also arise.

However, what puzzled Rose was that, logically speaking, which planes have resource points should be a secret kept by each Wizard Influence, but Sunan seemed to have opened heavenly eyes. He knew which planes had precious resource points, their specific locations, what powerful indigenous forces were nearby that required attention, and so on, all without any restriction.

Where did he get this information from?

Besides resource collection, there is another type of plane exploration task.

As the name implies, it involves exploring unknown planes.

This type of task is mainly divided into two categories.

The first category involves known plane coordinates, directly traveling to the plane for exploration and intelligence gathering.

The second category involves unknown plane coordinates, directly embarking on a Star Realm journey to find new and undiscovered planes in the vast Star Realm.

The multiverse is vast, with countless planes. Even now, wizards have only explored a portion of it, with new planes being discovered every year.

Of the two types of plane exploration, the second type is naturally the most difficult.

The vast Star Realm is home to countless dangerous creatures, with occasional void turbulence occurring. Even the strongest wizards can lose their lives in a moment of inattention.

Therefore, the Star Alliance stipulates that only Level 2 Wizards with a Wizard Tower can take on the second type of plane exploration task.

As for the first type of plane exploration task, any wizard can take on.

Rose has taken on many of these tasks over the years, earning enough contribution points.

"With a Wizard Tower, I can start attempting to conquer a small plane."

Rose’s eyes sparkled.

The resources needed for a wizard’s advancement are truly immense. Without a plane under their control, it’s challenging for a wizard to progress further on the wizarding path.

Most wizards, once they advance to Level 2 and have a Wizard Tower, will start looking for a suitable plane to invade.

Fortunately, in this regard, the Star Alliance actively supports its wizards.

As long as one has enough power, Sunan will provide suitable plane coordinates.

In fact, from what Rose knows, the Star Alliance, after fully digesting the gains from the Wolf Tide plane, has already set its sights on other planes.

It probably won’t be long before the Star Alliance launches a new plane war!

Knock, knock!

As she was pondering, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Rose came back to her senses and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and Tajana walked in.

"Teacher." The Dark Elf girl slightly bowed her head in salute.

"You are now a wizard too, so there’s no need to be so formal. We can treat each other as equals."

Rose smiled slightly.

She had great admiration for her student.

Although not human, her talent was astonishingly high.

Despite entering the Starlight Academy later than Fleming and others, she ascended to become a wizard almost simultaneously with them.

If Tajana were human, she would have probably surpassed Rose’s level by now.

"Was there something you wanted to ask me?"

"The Stellar Fortress has arrived at Dragon Forest Zone 3. It’s right outside. Would you like to take a look?"

The Stellar Fortress is a newly developed War Fortress by the Star Alliance, specifically designed for plane wars.

The entire fortress is equipped with over a hundred Spell Tower III types and ten Dissociation Cannon III types.

Both turret types are newly developed by Sunan, with firepower only slightly higher than the II type, not significantly different, but with energy consumption at half the latter’s cost.

The total firepower is even greater than several dozen Level 3 Magic Ships combined.

In addition, the Stellar Fortress is equipped with a mini Floating Ring, Elemental Pool, and Maze Lock Protective Energy Field, making it essentially a simplified version of a Wizard Tower.

After the successful development, Lize ordered that all wizards taking on plane exploration tasks could temporarily receive a Stellar Fortress to handle combat during plane exploration. The condition was that they had to submit a detailed report on the Stellar Fortress’s combat performance afterward.

"Let’s go take a look."

Rose nodded slightly and got up to leave the cultivation chamber.

In Dragon Forest Zone 3, a vast open space was occupied by more than a dozen metal structures resembling palaces, radiating strong Energy Particles.

The metal walls, more than 200 meters high, shimmered with a cold sheen under the sunlight, giving off a heavy sense of oppression.

That was the Stellar Fortress!

More than ten wizards were gathered around the Stellar Fortress, speaking softly.

Sherman and Cole were among them.

They, too, had taken on plane exploration tasks.

Attila was also on site, but she was the leader responsible for transporting the Stellar Fortress.

Not long after returning from All Things City, Sunan had set about reshaping Attila’s body.

Besides restoring her human form, with the unrelenting resource assistance from her friends Sherman and Cole, she also successfully advanced to become a wizard.

Though her strength has increased slowly since then, and she is still just at the Level 1 Vaporization stage, she has at least taken the most important step.

"You’re a wizard now too, so why not take on a plane exploration task?"

Tajana approached Attila and asked quietly.

Attila smiled and shook her head, "I’ve accumulated too little. It’s not too late to take it on later. Besides, Lize has been busy in seclusion recently, and there are many affairs I have to handle. I can’t leave for a while."

"Is Lize also about to break through?"

Tajana was slightly startled, a sigh passing over her face.

"It seems the Star Alliance will soon have a second Level 3 Wizard."
