When Jeming finished his communication with Master Roland and repaid the hefty knowledge loan for the current phase.

The transformation of the Elorcia Plane refugees in his territory finally reached the last step.

These former refugees, who had suffered so much, underwent multiple rounds of bloodline optimization and soul remodeling led by the professional team from Nolun Academy over more than twenty years, and have been completely transformed.

Not only have they adapted to the laws of the Wizard World, but they now also possess the foundational potential to become wizard apprentices.

Jeming notified Nolun Academy to send the last batch of people over to conduct the final inspection and evaluation of all the modified subjects.

Once everything was confirmed to be in order, the academy’s transport ship descended outside the Golden Garden, systematically taking away all these modified refugees who were now registered as “academy assets.”

After sending off these “historical legacy issues,” Jeming sent a message to David explaining the situation, thus settling a concern in his mind.

To fill the labor gap they left behind, he also conveniently purchased a large batch of new model alchemical “mechanical dolls” from Nolun Workshop.

These tireless metal creations were set to replace the refugees in the tedious task of maintaining the entire Golden Garden.

After completing all this, he remembered the senior Viola, who, although difficult in temperament, had indeed helped him quite a bit during his time in the Ice and Flame Plane.

Thinking of the request she made before he left, and the possibility that she might still be tirelessly working for Professor Clark, Jeming bought some highly effective invigorating magic potions and sent them to the Ice and Flame Plane as a token of “regard.”

After handling all these chaotic matters, Jeming finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Now, he could finally start dealing with those special spoils he acquired in the Ice and Flame Plane, which he valued the most!

In the Elorcia Plane Community, within the plane named “Purgatory Sulfur.”

Jeming hovered in mid-air, looking at the vast lava pool before him, radiating a continuous crimson glow, and shook his head in dissatisfaction.

This expanse, so enormous that calling it a “pool” seems inadequate and referring to it as a “sea” of lava is more fitting, is a magma gathering point.

This was formed by Jeming forcing the majority of active earth veins to converge here through the basic infrastructure he had previously set up on this Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

But, with comparison comes disparity.

The Flame Sun Realm of the Ice and Flame Plane and the environment of this Purgatory Sulfur Plane seem similar, both being fiery seas, but the energy reserves of the two are completely on different levels.

Jeming spent several months, painstakingly gathering a lava sea in the target area.

However, after his detection, the energy intensity of the core area of this lava sea barely reached the energy level of some small earth veins in the Ice and Flame Plane back then.

“Well, this level of energy is barely sufficient to support the basic usage of the Incubation Pool. I’ll continue with the transformation when the academy’s Seventh Level Elemental Pool is in place.”

Jeming sighed, taking out the most special spoils he acquired in the Ice and Flame Plane from his personal storage space – the “Second Level Incubation Pool” from the Magma Giant race!

After years of research, Jeming has barely managed to understand the operational principle of this thing.

The Magma Giant race’s Incubation Pool possesses a unique technology, presumably integrating the innate abilities of the Magma Giants, allowing it to directly link to the projection of the Fire Elemental Plane, drawing energy from it.

This is also why there is a faint interference around the Incubation Pool’s space.

Jeming looked at the Incubation Pool levitating before him, his expression complicated: “If it weren’t for this thing, I wouldn’t have had to fight the Third Level Magma Giant desperately…”

“But thinking it through, getting this item after just a battle with two Third Level Magma Giants could be considered lucky, right?”

Shaking his head, Jeming no longer dwelled on these matters and proceeded toward the energy gathering area of the lava sea with the Incubation Pool.

The Incubation Pool’s ability to connect to the Fire Elemental Plane projection means that external energy is mostly utilized as a “switch” to activate and guide energy to the Incubation Pool.

Once the Incubation Pool is operational, most of its consumed energy is supplemented by its built-in link to the elemental plane projection.

Of course, depending entirely on the Incubation Pool’s own energy for operation, without external energy infusion, its incubation efficiency will inevitably decrease significantly.

Moreover, without the external energy supplements, the potential for its continued evolution wouldn’t exist.

But at this stage, Jeming didn’t have any better options and had to use it in this manner for now.

As a “switch,” as long as the energy in this magma pool is stable enough and its energy peak can reach the minimum threshold to activate the Incubation Pool, it is adequate.

After securely installing the enormous Incubation Pool at the center of the lava sea, Jeming pulled out a lively Magma Giant core, emitting strong fire elemental vibrations, beating slowly like a heart.

This was precisely the core from the Fourth Level Magma Giant corpse he “picked up” in the Yeti city!

Initially, due to the giant’s death, this core had completely lost its activity.

However, ever since the King of the Lava Giants surrendered and joined the wizard camp, the wizards had acquired considerable unique technology from them.

Among them, there was technology that allowed those well-preserved High Tier Cores to be reactivated.

The core in Jeming’s hand had a portion of its activity restored by paying a hefty amount of military merits and hiring professionals from the Ice and Flame Plane who used this technology.

Jeming couldn’t help but sigh, “In some ways, the life energy of elemental creatures is truly much stronger than most flesh creatures.”

Although this core’s activity is still far from being able to completely resurrect that Fourth Level Magma Giant.

Its vast life essence, however, can serve as a “mother source” to support the re-incubation of new Magma Giants within this Incubation Pool!

Utilizing alchemy, Jeming carefully detached a tiny fragment from the Fourth Level Core, about the size of a grain of sand, with precision.

Watching the fragment’s glow rapidly destabilize, Jeming decisively tossed it into the now slowly operating Incubation Pool.

Over the next two months, Jeming stayed almost entirely in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, meticulously documenting the complete process of this core fragment incubating a new Magma Giant within the pool.

During this process, Jeming recorded an immense amount of valuable data concerning the incubation of elemental creatures.

Jeming was fortunate; the new Magma Giant born from this incubation reached the Second Level in strength after fully maturing in two months.

Among the Magma Giant tribes, it is already considered a small elite.

“Roar!”

The newly born Second Level Magma Giant, standing nearly ten meters tall, let out a ferocious roar.

However, before it could demonstrate its power, an invisible giant hand, composed entirely of spiritual power, suppressed it effortlessly and lifted it out of the Incubation Pool, confining it mid-air.

Jeming, using the “All-Purpose Eye” and “Alchemy,” carefully examined this perfect elemental creation, a contemplative look in his eyes.

If it were him before, he would have thought such a reliably mass-produced Second Level Magma Giant was quite formidable and a considerable combat force.

But now, Jeming felt these creatures’ power… was still too weak.

Even a Third Level Magma Giant wouldn’t pose much of a threat to him now.

Unless they could form a scale of hundreds or thousands, they would provide limited enhancement to his combat power.

Thus, he must find a way to enhance the individual combat power of these Magma Giants!

And the first method Jeming thought of was, of course, bio-engineering modifications to the Magma Giants.

However, after careful deduction, he ultimately abandoned this idea.

After all, bio-engineering modifications depend on the “base level” of the “raw materials.”

Using several Second Level Magma Giants as material, the best he could achieve was a unit with Third Level Initial Tier combat power.

The cost-benefit ratio is not high.

Indeed, using this Fourth Level Core as a “mother source,” he could certainly consistently produce a large number of Second Level and a few Third Level Magma Giants.

But the problem is, this core is a non-replicable consumable!

Unless by sheer luck, during the incubation process, a Magma Giant exhibits miraculous mutations and re-coalesces a new Fourth Level Core.

Otherwise, once the essence of this core is exhausted, he will have to use the cores of those Third Level Magma Giants as new “mother sources.”

By that time, the output of Second Level Magma Giants will significantly decrease, and most new individuals will regress into First Level Magma Giants.

If it were those resource-rich High Tier Wizards, they wouldn’t have such troubles at all.

They could fully release these Magma Giants into an entire suitable Flame Plane and let them reproduce freely.

By relying on luck and a sufficiently large base number, they could always mutate more Fourth or even Fifth Level Magma Giants.

But Jeming truly doesn’t have the resources to support an entire Plane’s worth of elemental creatures.

Thus, he could only look for other methods.

The second method Jeming thought of was still bio-engineering modifications.

However, unlike the previous approach of treating the Magma Giants as mere “raw materials” and “bio-weapons,”

what he now wanted to do was to undergo a complete transcendence and enhancement of the “biological essence” of the Magma Giant race itself, from their genes to their souls!
