The aftermath of the plane war was remarkably peaceful in the wizard camp of the Nolun Workshop. There were no deafening cheers or grand ceremonies to celebrate the victory. Wizards had always been rational and practical, placing far greater value on knowledge and achievements than on celebrations or empty displays of honor.Even during this trial, the honor-contribution list might never have been compiled if not for the need to determine how the ownership of the Lingyuan Plane would be divided afterward.However, the unexpected victory brought an additional benefit to all the wizard apprentices who had participated in the trial. Their year-long trial had come to an early end, giving them an extra six months of valuable free time.For wizards, this was an excellent opportunity to consolidate their knowledge and improve themselves. Knowledge and wisdom were far more important than simply advancing in levels. Only by accumulating enough knowledge and gaining a thorough understanding of

The Lingyuan Plane had now become an excellent “living dissection table,” its divine spirits stripped away and its remaining energy network exposed for study.Several months passed in the blink of an eye as Rayn eagerly immersed himself in research, absorbing as much knowledge as he could. He devoted nearly all his time and energy to studying the remnants of the Lingyuan Plane’s energy network.At the same time, he repeatedly entered his Sea of Spirit to simulate rune models, incorporating the new knowledge he had gained into his existing witchcraft system.The results were astonishing.Through his continued research into the plane’s energy transfer and transformation system, the three witchcraft models within his Sea of Spirit underwent three rounds of automatic optimization.Each round brought a qualitative improvement. When cast, the witchcraft consumed less spiritual power, covered a wider area, and produced greater intensity.After finishing a test in the testing chamber, Rayn ex

Rayn and David submitted the application for ownership of Golden Harbor after their discussion.As expected, the application was approved quickly. Rayn had made exceptional contributions during the plane trial, and the area was now largely desolate, making it relatively easy for the camp to grant him ownership.Without wasting any time, Rayn used the Space Transmission Device in the camp and returned to the basement of the mansion he had carefully renovated.Inside the secret chamber, several critically wounded Beastman leaders remained trapped in cages. Their faint breathing was particularly noticeable in the otherwise silent space.Rayn glanced at them with satisfaction, reassured that his research materials had been preserved.He quickly made his way through the secret passage and emerged on the ground floor of the mansion.Although the city outside had been reduced to ruins, the mansion remained just as he had left it. The courtyards were tidy, the buildings had escaped the fires

“Rayn, everything is ready.” David’s voice came through the communication rune, carrying an unusual sense of ease. “The people have been delivered to the designated boundary of Golden Harbor and can be received at any time.”“Thank you for your hard work.” Rayn smiled faintly.He immediately made his way to the outskirts of Golden Harbor, where a gigantic wizard construct resembling a freight airship hovered silently in the sky.Several large hatches beneath the airship slowly opened, and groups of people began disembarking in an orderly manner.The crowd numbered in the tens of thousands. Most were healthy young civilians, with a relatively balanced ratio of men and women. Although they appeared confused and tired, there was little fear or resistance in their eyes.Rayn looked over the crowd and noticed the remarkable diversity of their racial backgrounds. Alongside ordinary humans, Beastmen, and dwarves were graceful elves and even several Zor Elves with dark skin and red eyes.Davi

Golden Harbor, once Rayn's private estate, was now preparing for the initial construction of the “Golden Garden.”Outside the city, tens of thousands of residents worked under strict planning, sweating as they gradually transformed the vast stretch of cleared land into the outline of the garden.Meanwhile, Rayn had effectively “exiled” himself to the depths of the estate's underground laboratory.This was his true paradise. Cold metal countertops, towering piles of rune scrolls, and an assortment of precise, complex alchemy instruments filled the space, creating an environment he knew better than anywhere else.David's research notes lay quietly on his workbench, providing a new foundation for Rayn's in-depth study of the Divine Power Faith Network in the Lingyuan Plane.Although David's research did not examine the Divine Power Faith Network as deeply as Rayn's own work, it offered an entirely different perspective.David had focused on the underlying logic of mortal emotions, the es
Chapter 174
Although every wizard kept their core technologies closely guarded, the publicly available knowledge that Rayn could purchase suggested that no wizard had yet discovered a “plundering” effect while researching the Divine Power Faith Network.This made sense. The Divine Power Faith Network was fundamentally an energy transmission and transformation system, not a plundering system. The two served different purposes and operated on different principles.After considering the matter for a while, Rayn contacted Professor Clark and ordered a standard Sixth Level Small Elemental Pool.The Elemental Pool was a relatively standardized, mass-produced product with numerous modules that customers could modify according to their own needs. Rayn intended to use it as a comparison model to verify his hypothesis.A few days later, the standard Small Elemental Pool was delivered to him through the camp's Teleportation Array.Rayn immediately disassembled it and began attempting to incorporate the same

What do you call a numerical monster?This was what a true numerical monster looked like!The most terrifying part was that as the cultivation levels of both sides increased, the multiplier effect Rayn could achieve would grow exponentially!“It's a pity... at this stage, there's only one perfect combination method like this.” After thinking it over for a while, Rayn couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.Since cultivators primarily relied on Spiritual Qi, finding a way to combine the two systems perfectly was no easy task. Even the Talisman Witchcraft had only come into existence through a fortunate coincidence.Nevertheless, this research had revealed the future potential of Talisman Witchcraft to Rayn.With this realization, he became even more enthusiastic about his research, spending nearly all his time buried in the laboratory.While Rayn devoted himself to studying the new discoveries surrounding the Divine Power Faith Network, Red Dust Qi, and Talisman Witchcraft, the Gol

After seeing the residents working in an orderly manner under the supervision of several managers, Rayn nodded with satisfaction and quietly returned to the mansion's basement.He still had some preparations to make.At dawn, the first rays of sunlight pierced the thin mist and fell upon the petals throughout the Golden Garden. Dewdrops covering the flowers glistened in the morning light, sparkling like tiny crystals.Rayn finished his daily cultivation routine after absorbing a strand of Eastward Purple Qi produced at sunrise. Rather than immediately returning to his research as usual, he slowly rose to his feet.After enjoying a long-awaited breakfast, he left his residence and followed the garden paths deeper into the vast sea of flowers.Many residents were already busy collecting Hundred Flowers Dew. However, even with nearly ten thousand people assigned to the task, gathering all the dew from such an enormous garden before sunrise was a considerable challenge.As the sun climbed

Two months passed in the blink of an eye while Rayn immersed himself in research, barely noticing how quickly time was slipping away. Inside the mansion's underground laboratory, strange energy fluctuations continued without interruption. Every successful experiment helped him refine his theories and build a more complete understanding of the knowledge he was studying. Meanwhile, the renovation of the Golden Garden, built upon the ruins of Golden Harbor, continued in an orderly manner and progressed even faster than Rayn had expected. Motivated by the prospect of earning money, the transformed residents worked tirelessly, collecting Hundred Flowers Dew every morning and maintaining the garden to keep its plants healthy and flourishing. As Rayn had intended, the beginnings of a new social structure had gradually emerged, built around labor and trade. The residents' daily joys and sorrows, their pursuit of material comforts, and their various desires for life flowed together li

Rayn's eyebrow twitched, and he immediately gathered a fireball in his hand by manipulating the surrounding elements. “Never mind that weird title you've given me. If you two keep talking in riddles, do you think I won't beat you up?!” “Alright, alright, don't get worked up!” Lily leaned closer to Rayn and lowered her voice, her eyes shining with a hint of gossip. “Do you know? The Elves from the Lingyuan Plane are all the rage at the academy now! A lot of people couldn't contain their excitement after returning.” Victor coughed lightly to remind Lily to watch her words, though he couldn't quite hide the faint smile on his face. Lily continued without paying him any attention. “Wizards pursue knowledge and power, and although they don't completely reject worldly pleasures, they're not as easily controlled by physical desires as ordinary people.” “But the Elves we captured this time are exceptionally attractive! Their appearance is one of the few things that can rival that of us wi
