All the apprentices, including the proud or scrutinizing prodigies from earlier, gathered themselves and stood solemnly, ready to listen.

“Apprentices!” The governor’s voice was fervent and resounded beneath the vast dome. “You have gathered here not only for yourselves but for the grand expansion of the Wizard Civilization. To better test your strength and wisdom, this time, you will enter a brand new plane!”

The apprentices were not too surprised by this method of testing, as for today’s wizards, no test could compare to the real combat on the frontlines of a plane invasion.

“This is different from the pretend games you’ve had in your academy! This is a true war of plane invasion!” The governor’s voice rose by several decibels.

“This plane possesses a set of unique rules, a powerful indigenous civilization, and divine spirits formed from its faith!”

As the governor spoke, a giant translucent map of the plane slowly unfolded in the center of the square, depicting the majestic outline of the Elorcia Plane.

“This plane is known as ‘Elorcia’.” The governor continued to introduce, his voice calmly analyzing the entire plane.

“It is rich in elemental energy and nurtures various intelligent races — the Beastman Tribe in the north that believes in primitive totems, the graceful Elves who have established a kingdom in the ancient forests, the stubborn Dwarves residing in the mountain depths renowned for their forging skills, and the Human Kingdom with numerous cities and Knight Orders established on the plains.”

“Moreover, according to some ancient rumors within the plane, descendants of creatures known as Giant Dragons and Titans also linger here. Their power system is primarily based on magic power and divine magic, worshiping a massive pantheon of gods, from the Netherworld’s lord who governs life and death to the Earth Mother Goddess who grants harvests, encompassing everything.”

Highlights on the map gradually increased, showing the areas of influence between the wizard’s vanguard and the indigenous civilizations.

“Currently, our vanguard has established a solid foothold on the Elorcia Plane,” the governor’s voice carried a subtle but noticeable gravity. “However, the war is at a stalemate. The main gods of the Elorcia Plane are Sixth Level creatures native to the plane. Led by the Seventh Level creatures they refer to as Gods of Gods, they are in a delicate balance against the high-tier wizards of our Workshop.”

The apprentices’ expressions changed somewhat upon hearing this.

To be able to bring the high-tier wizards of the Workshop to a standstill, the plane’s divine spirits are evidently formidable.

Even though the wizards are not weaker than their opponents, they are simply cautious of the indigenous creatures perishing together with the plane.

But these reports of Sixth Level or even Seventh Level creatures are indeed real, and for these apprentices who are not even official wizards yet, these indigenous entities are quite dangerous.

“Your task is simple,” the governor’s gaze swept over each apprentice present, “break the balance and turn the tide of the war!”

He paused, granting a great degree of freedom for the task: “Whether you choose to capture strategic points, weaken the divine faith, convert indigenous people, hunt down formidable magical beasts, or explore unknown ruins for valuable data, each contribution favorable to the plane invasion will be counted as points for your score in this trial!”

“The trial’s time limit is one year, and the final result…” The governor’s voice became low and seductive at this moment, like the devil’s whisper, yet it made every wizard’s heart sway, “will be the allocation of permanent ownership of the plane based on contribution points!”

“This…!”

“What?!!”

An outbreak of disbelief swept through the square.

Plane ownership!

The apprentices were aware of the generous rewards for this trial, as the Workshop had mentioned in the summons that this was an unprecedented “opportunity”.

Furthermore, the basic information about the Elorcia Plane had already been handed to everyone — it is a middle plane.

The most crucial detail is that a Seventh Level creature, whom the Elorcia beings call the “God of Gods”, has naturally emerged within this plane, along with over a dozen Sixth Level creatures and hundreds of Fifth Level creatures.

The capacity to naturally give rise to such powerful creatures illustrates the plane’s abundant resources.

In Jeming’s perspective, this middle plane is even on par with the Nolun13th Plane, which has been reformed and expanded by wizards over years!

No, rather it should be said that the Nolun13th Plane can’t match this middle plane.

Because besides its main body, the Elorcia Plane also has over a hundred smaller planes gathered around it, qualifying it as a middle plane community!

What does this imply?

This signifies that it is not just a plane but an entire resource system!

The apprentices were boiling with excitement!

“Permanent ownership?!” someone exclaimed, eyes filled with fervor, “Even getting a small piece of the core area would be enough to establish a small Wizard Clan!”

“My gosh, I always thought it would be like before, where receiving some resources or points was the pinnacle!” another apprentice’s voice trembled, “I didn’t expect the Workshop to be so extravagant this time! They’re aiming to cultivate a group of plane lords outright!”

“To control a domain…” someone murmured, eyes filled with a hunger for power and resources.

Amy and Victor were completely shocked as well. Amy covered her mouth, eyes full of disbelief: “Permanent ownership? Victor, did you hear that? Did I hear that right?”

Victor’s eyes instantly lit up, breathing heavily, and his hands clenched into fists.

As for Jeming, while his eyes didn’t show fanaticism, a trace of subtle amazement passed through them.

He wasn’t fighting for the expansion of the Wizard Civilization; he was only seeking the utmost benefit for himself.

But honestly, from an individual’s perspective, the ownership of an entire middle plane community is excessively luxurious.

Even though these would be allocated according to contribution, those ranked at the top will certainly gain plenty of benefits.

Rewards of this level… one can only say that this time Nolun Workshop is truly spending generously!

“There is nothing like a Wizard Civilization in its exploratory phase — truly wealthy and imposing,” Jeming contemplated silently.

He knew this wasn’t merely the Workshop’s generosity but a reflection of the Wizard Civilization’s overall expansion strategy.

Only a power in constant ascent would dare offer such extravagant rewards.

If a force at the level of Nolun Workshop can offer such a substantial stake, Jeming could hardly imagine what larger powers could achieve.
