Chapter 263: Chapter 234: Reward

It’s a pity that the dean isn’t all-powerful after all.

The space teleportation gate beside him, which had been stabilized through the joint efforts of everyone, was completely destroyed by this terrifying self-destructive force nearby.

The other wizards around were utterly unprepared, and the only one who could react, Dean Avery Knight, had all his attention focused on dealing with the terrifying power emitted after the Destruction Demon God’s self-destruction.

Therefore, all they could do was watch as the gate to a new world shattered inch by inch under the impact of destructive force, like a mirror being smashed.

Eventually, the black vortex completely collapsed and dissipated into the air!

It could be said… all efforts were wasted!

Watching the black vortex leading to an unknown prosperous world completely collapse before his eyes, dispersing into the most chaotic spatial turbulence, Dean Avery Knight’s brow lightly furrowed.

However, this level of accident was clearly not enough to shake his rock-solid mindset.

He still appeared quite calm and casually waved his hand, entirely imprisoning the remnants of the Destruction Demon God, sealed in layers, into a crystal constructed of pure Power of the Soul.

Then, he precisely cut off a small portion of the crystal and handed it to a Fifth Level Wizard adept at reverse engineering beside him, issuing a series of task directives in an undeniable tone:

“Leave a small number of people here immediately to start recording all the spatial change parameters just now. Although the spatial coordinates have collapsed, the scattered energy information still has immense research value!”

“Then arrange a group to study this sample, and quickly reverse-engineer the plane coordinates where this thing is located!”

The dean’s voice became stern: “Speed is crucial! Although I blocked most of its distress signals, the sudden complete disappearance of such a powerful Eighth Level Creature will surely alert their civilization swiftly!”

“You must resolve and retrieve the precise coordinates before the other side notices and reacts to the anomaly!”

“Yes, Dean!”

Dozens of High Tier Wizards floating in the air nodded together in agreement.

Immediately, the wizards, like precisely operating machines, allocated their tasks according to their expertise without needing much additional communication.

Those specializing in Spatial Studies flew straight to the high altitude, where the spatial storm had not subsided, and began to emit countless intricate detectors to collect every trace of scattered spatial energy.

And wizards with high achievements in biology and Soul Science directly surrounded the remnants of the Destruction Demon God, taking out various peculiar alchemy instruments for preliminary research and dissection on-site.

Even two seemingly short-tempered wizards directly flew down and impatiently drove Jeming and David, who were still standing dumbfounded on the island, into mid-air.

Then, along with several other wizards, they collectively cast spells, managing to lift the entire core island engraved with a massive sacrifice array, along with the crust beneath, from the sea floor.

These wizards appeared prepared to bring it back to the lab for deeper analysis and research.

As for the Sage, whose mindset had completely collapsed like sludge lying on the reef, he was conveniently “packed” and taken away by a passing Fourth Level Wizard using an Energy Shield.

Seeing his eager expression, he seemed interested in studying some foundational technology of the unknown civilization from the Sage’s polluted soul while possibly extracting clues about the spatial coordinates.

Jeming and David floated mid-air, somewhat dumbfounded as they watched this group of High Tier Wizards engage in effective sweeping actions akin to “scouring the ground three feet deep.”

For a moment, they didn’t know what they should be doing.

At this point, a figure silently appeared before them.

It was none other than Dean Avery Knight, who had just handled everything.

After sensing the vast aura of the person in front of them like an ocean, Jeming and David instantly came to their senses.

Immediately, they solemnly and respectfully saluted the legendary Seventh Level Grand Wizard.

“Jeming (David), greetings, Dean.”

“No need for formalities.”

Both parties exchanged a simple greeting.

Avery Knight, evidently a direct and action-oriented figure like a typical wizard, didn’t like wasting time.

He swiftly got straight to the point:

“Although there was a minor mishap at the end, which prevented us from directly invading the world on the other side, that’s our issue, not yours.”

“The intelligence you two provided this time was very accurate and crucial. Therefore, aside from the rewards settled in the academy’s task system, I plan to give you an additional reward.”

Jeming and David’s eyes instantly brightened!

However, before they could start dreaming about how generous this “additional reward” would be, Avery Knight’s following words left them utterly shocked.

In a tone as casual as asking, “what do you want for dinner,” he casually asked:

“Tell me, what type of ’Plane Origin’ do you need?”

“Hiss—!”

Even though the two of them knew long ago that the reward this time would definitely be quite generous.

When they heard the words “Plane Origin” so casually spoken from the mouth of a Seventh Level Wizard, they couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

The so-called “Plane Origin” can be said to be the most top-tier strategic material assisting a Second Level to Sixth Level Wizard in advancement!

There is none other!

Because Wizards above Second Level, wanting to continue advancing, must have some understanding and insight into the “Law” of the world.

But to study that elusive and intangible law from scratch is not such a simple matter.

The essence of a Wizard is a group of scholars who observe, learn, summarize the rules of all things, and attempt to leverage the rules of the world with their meager individual power.

The “Law” is the most fundamental, most basic form of expression of all rules in a world.

Imagine how difficult it must be to study this thing.

Unlike other core knowledge, which is cherished as treasures by major forces.

In Wizard Civilization, knowledge related to “Law research” is almost countless, most of which is semi-public.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy it in the academy’s database.

The fundamental reason for this situation is that the nine great Ninth Level Wizards who stand at the pinnacle of Wizard Civilization have all completely published their understanding and research insights on all laws, from the shallow to the profound, for others to learn and reference.

But even in such a superior, almost “cramming” educational environment, Wizards who can truly study and research laws independently are still very few and far between.

After all, some knowledge cannot be learned just because you have the textbooks.

(The world’s law textbooks)

For this reason, Wizards began to seek various auxiliary methods.

Among them is keeping the soul and body in a permanently active state, greatly enhancing one’s learning ability.

Or perhaps… using a more direct, more forceful method—finding a way to let the Wizard’s soul directly “understand” law-related knowledge!

The so-called “Plane Origin” is precisely such a thing.

“Plane Origin” can be understood as the collective of all “information” from a plane’s birth to its destruction.

The various laws born in this plane are naturally recorded in full within.

Wizards came up with a method where High Tier Wizards extract these “Plane Origins” forcefully from a complete plane.

Then, through special techniques, they directly infuse them into the souls of those Low Tier Wizards!

The law information contained within those Plane Origins will naturally permeate and assimilate the Wizard’s soul.

This means that, theoretically, the infused Wizard instantly masters all the law information contained within these Plane Origins!

As long as the High Tier Wizard responsible for extraction can accurately select and extract Plane Origins containing “single law” information.

Then the infused Wizard would naturally master a vast amount of knowledge related to that law out of thin air!

Theoretically, if enough Plane Origin is used, it can allow a Wizard who knows nothing about law to completely master all knowledge related to a complete, singular law in an instant!

Of course, this convenient thing, nearly akin to “cheating,” naturally comes with extremely huge troubles.

Primarily, extracting “Plane Origin” will cause irreversible damage to that plane.

Although theoretically, if the extraction amount is small enough, the damage to the plane itself can slowly recover over time.

However, as the number of Wizards snowballed rapidly, their demand for “Plane Origins” became increasingly more.

It’s said that Wizard Civilization’s “Primordial Plane,” which has disappeared in the long river of history, was completely destroyed due to excessive extraction of origins.

And the reason Wizards are so obsessed with continually waging wars on other planes, aside from their desire for knowledge.

The main purpose is to acquire new, healthy planes to extract “Plane Origins” to cultivate their offspring.

Moreover, the preciousness of “Plane Origin” is not limited to this.

Contact with Plane Origin is something a Sixth Level Wizard can do, but safely and precisely extracting “Plane Origin” from a plane requires at least a Seventh Level Wizard!

And this task is technical; not every Seventh Level Wizard is skilled at it.

So Dean Avery Knight’s meaning is already clear—he can personally intervene to extract the specific single law “Plane Origin” needed by Jeming and David as a reward!
