Chapter 144: Chapter 139: Research

The aftermath of the plane war appeared exceptionally calm in the wizard camp of the Nolun Workshop.

There was no deafening celebration, nor any grand reward ceremony.

Wizards have always been rational and practical beings, valuing knowledge and achievements more than anything.

Even in this trial, if it weren’t for the matter of deciding the ownership proportion of the Elorcia Plane afterwards, the honor-contribution list might not have even been compiled.

However, this unexpected victory brought unforeseen gains to all the wizard apprentices participating in the trial—they concluded their year-long trial early, gaining an additional half-year of precious free time.

This is an extremely valuable period of consolidation, as for wizards, knowledge and wisdom are far more important than mere level upgrades.

Only by accumulating sufficient knowledge and thoroughly understanding it can a wizard truly earn their current rank and prepare for ascending to higher levels.

Jeming did just that.

After settling in the camp, he immediately put aside all miscellaneous tasks and plunged into knowledge research.

He knew this half-year period would be his golden time for self-improvement.

Glancing at his research notes, Jeming circled content related to the Divine Power Faith Network: “Let’s prioritize studying this area of knowledge…”

To discuss the Divine Power Faith Network, one must start with the existence of “divine spirits.”

Even in the infinite multiverse of planes, worlds possessing real “divine spirits” are rare.

In the vast majority of worlds, those worshipped by mortals as “gods” are merely beings of a somewhat higher level, or projections of some powerful creatures, without truly mastering the core laws of the planes.

Real divine spirits, regardless of their strength, are naturally bestowed with a certain special rule of the plane at their birth, allowing them to form a unique divine office.

Divine spirits are divided into two types: original deities and belief-based deities.

Both types of divine spirits represent significant interests and research value.

For instance, to a wizard, an original deity is essentially a living “embodiment of law.”

It is no exaggeration to say that thoroughly researching an original deity, regardless of its power level, can allow a wizard to advance straight to the Sixth Level without hindrance.

The birth of an original deity signifies its deep integration with the plane origin, embodying certain laws of the plane itself.

Studying them is tantamount to directly learning the most core secrets of the plane.

Belief-based deities, though slightly weaker than original deities in terms of power and stability, are no less valuable.

Moreover, the quantity of belief-based deities is actually less than that of original deities overall.

This is because the birth conditions of belief-based deities are stricter, far beyond what a simple powerful creature can achieve.

Many people believe that divine spirits come first, followed by faith, while a small number believe that faith comes first, then divine spirits.

However, through in-depth research on the Divine Power Faith Network, Jeming has confirmed that both views are incorrect.

He can now assert that an efficient energy transmission system comes first, followed by faith, and then divine spirits.

Simply put, the prerequisite for a plane to spawn divine spirits is that the plane must innately possess a certain special, extremely efficient energy transmission and conversion system.

Then this system can accumulate a certain special energy, and under certain fortuitous circumstances, combine with a particular being, or the energy itself can give birth to a will, thereby becoming a belief-based deity.

And to achieve this, the energy transmission and conversion system of the plane must be of exceedingly high efficiency—so high that it can be deemed extraordinarily exaggerated.

It can be said that every plane with belief-based deities has a highly localized Divine Power Faith Network, or rather, an energy transmission conversion system.

If studying the laws within an original deity can allow a wizard to ascend to the Sixth Level, then studying these naturally formed energy transmission and conversion systems is enough for a wizard to rely on perpetually.

The theoretical depth and application prospects may even surpass mere level advancement.

The best method to study these naturally formed energy transmission and conversion systems is naturally to study the already formed divine spirits themselves.

After all, the energy pathways within these divine spirits are almost a perfect replica of the plane’s transformation system.

But even if divine spirits have been captured, continuing to research the residual characteristics within the plane itself can yield significant results.

The Elorcia Plane is now an excellent “living dissection table,” stripped of its divine spirits.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed as Jeming eagerly absorbed and researched this knowledge.

He devoted all his energy to the study of the remaining energy network of the Elorcia Plane.

Simultaneously, he delved into the Sea of Spirit again and again, simulating the rune models, integrating the new knowledge he had acquired into his witchcraft system.

The gains were astonishing.

By constantly researching the energy transfer and transformation system of this plane, the three witchcraft models within his Sea of Spirit automatically optimized three times!

Each optimization brought about a qualitative leap.

When released, they consumed less spiritual power, covered a wider range, and had higher intensity.

In the testing chamber, after finishing the release of witchcraft, Jeming looked at the results displayed on the instruments in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh:

“Not bad, but it’s a pity I didn’t have enough time to improve the precision of manipulation; otherwise, these three witchcrafts could have formally advanced to First Level Witchcraft.”

At this stage, the three pieces of witchcraft Jeming constructed were all of the Logistics Element; aside from pure energy output, excellent operation skills were required to enhance the effect, so the improvements seem “not very noticeable.”

If he were to autonomously construct a combat-type witchcraft model, then its combat power could directly surpass that of most pure Combat Element First Level Wizards!

However, for Jeming, this was not a big deal.

Through modifying his Talisman Witchcraft, he could achieve or even surpass the combat effects brought by pure combat-type witchcraft.

Thinking of this, he took out something that resembled a metal bracelet, on which there were scattered visible rune patterns.

This somewhat rudimentary bracelet was actually the “prototype” of the new Talisman Witchcraft. Primarily, his current research on the energy transfer and transformation system represented by the Divine Power Faith Network had not hit a bottleneck, and the modification of the Talisman Witchcraft changed almost daily, so he didn’t pay much attention to its external design.

“It was just made a week ago, yet now it seems to have several flaws.”

Even if he hadn’t fully comprehended all the mysteries of this energy transfer and transformation system, the knowledge Jeming currently possessed, when applied to the Talisman Witchcraft, doubled the instantaneous energy intensity and the efficiency of extracting surrounding elemental energy for personal use without changing the Talisman Witchcraft’s level!

This meant that the energy endurance and burst power of the Talisman Witchcraft were significantly enhanced.

Most importantly, this extremely high energy conversion efficiency was not best suited for attack-type or defense-type but for the Element Storage Talisman Witchcraft developed by Jeming!

If this efficiency could be applied to the Element Storage Talisman Witchcraft, both his future element reserves and witchcraft casting efficiency would reach astonishing levels.

However, time was still too short, and the modification of the Element Storage Talisman Witchcraft was more complex than the Talisman Witchcraft itself, which Jeming had not managed to undertake for now.

As Jeming was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, his witchcraft artifact vibrated again, indicating a communication request.

He glanced at it, and it was David.

Jeming accepted the communication.

David’s projection appeared before him, still embodying the calm yet slightly weary scholar image.

“Jeming, sorry to keep you waiting.” David’s voice was slightly hoarse, “I have already delineated the areas for receiving the native intelligent creatures of the Elorcia Plane and submitted them to the camp. You can proceed to receive them at any time.”

“Oh?” A hint of surprise flashed in Jeming’s eyes, “You’ve handled it so quickly?”

Jeming was a bit troubled by his words.

Within the camp, he had limited space and couldn’t receive and accommodate a large number of these living creatures.

David seemed to perceive his concern and smiled slightly: “Don’t worry about the space issue. Although the entire plane community hasn’t been fully sorted out yet, the main plane of the Elorcia Plane has undergone rough cleaning.”

“Regions like the Human Kingdom have been entirely occupied by the Wizard Camp, with preliminary planning conducted. You can now designate an area for use initially; if more areas are needed later, you can also apply for additional territories based on contribution points.”

At these words, Jeming’s eyes lit up suddenly!

He suddenly thought of a perfect place.

The mansion he purchased in Golden Harbor, which had undergone extensive renovation.

Not only the underground laboratory but also the entire manor was covered by a Sixth Level Array, making it both secretive and secure, highly suitable as a base.

Most importantly, most of that city had turned into ruins, desolate and ravaged, making it very suitable for his large-scale reconstruction and modification later, facilitating some experiments not known to others.

“Golden Harbor!” Jeming blurted out, a genuine smile appearing on his face, “David, I’ve decided to select Golden Harbor as my first territory! I will apply to the camp management to receive the entire area where Golden Harbor is located. By then, send both the people and the notes there.”

David also smiled: “Golden Harbor, huh? Not a bad place, sure, I’ll arrange everything, don’t worry, I’ll send the subsequent transformation potions there gradually.”

The communication ended, and Jeming stood up, looking at the land of the Elorcia Plane outside the camp and taking a deep breath.
