The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Chapter 142 The Fifth Plane
Chapter 142

"Is this the inevitable phenomenon encountered during an expedition to another world?"

Lin En whispered to himself, his eyes slightly focused, and spread out his palms.

Suddenly, he squeezed hard, and the protective magic circle in his palm loosened slightly.

Instantly, a pain like a bomb exploding surged into his heart, and the burning pain made him gasp.

You know, even though his physical condition is now at ten points, he still can't completely avoid this severe pain.

"The world, the heavens and the earth, the air, everything... all seem to be hostile to me, as if they are trying to expel me..."

Lin En frowned and stretched out his palm. Tiny cracks appeared on the palm of his hand, as if it had been cut by countless sharp blades, and the blood had almost no time to flow out.

He quickly activated the magical protection, and the protection wrapped his palm again.

Those tiny cracks healed quickly under the effect of his strong physique, leaving almost no trace.

"This is just a simulation. A real expedition to another world... will probably be more than ten times more intense than this."

Lin En took a deep breath. The energy factors of the two permanent witchcraft marks in his mind, "Echoes of Vitality" and "Being Empty and Tranquil", were slowly consuming the strength in his body.

He withdrew his hand, walked towards the inside of the platform.

This is a spacious square with various tables, instruments and research materials piled around it.

There is a strong academic atmosphere in the air.

Lin En walked to his own work desk, took out a piece of metal and began to study it carefully.

The metal surface is smooth and cold, as if unresponsive to the unique fluctuations between heaven and earth.

After about ten minutes, several figures entered the area one after another.

As the figures flickered, a blonde witch with thick black glasses and a few freckles on her face walked in.

She looks like a young woman in her twenties, like a young and ignorant female college student.

But for wizards, appearance cannot be used to judge age at all. After all, wizards are affected by energy factors differently depending on their different practice directions.

Like those wizards who study negative energy factors, most of them have ugly looks, similar to rotten corpses or corpses.

Some wizards who study positive energy factors have various ways to change their appearance and stay young even when they are old.

Like the witch in front of me, on the surface she is a young and ignorant female college student, but in fact she may be an old lady who has lived for more than a hundred years...

Of course, age is a closely guarded secret for any female creature.

Even female wizards are no exception.

Therefore, Lynn would not be stupid enough to ask others such a private and sensitive question.

"Lin, why are you here so early today?"

The witch greeted gently, her voice soft but with a hint of intimacy.

Lynn looked up at her and gave her a polite yet distant smile.

"Good morning, Terra. After all, I just got promoted to a full-time employee, so I want to get used to the new job as soon as possible."

He answered while fiddling with the metal material in his hand, his tone relaxed and somewhat polite.

"Our research project has just been established for less than a month. The members are all drawn from various places. We are all newcomers, so there is no need to put too much pressure on ourselves."

Terra smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples on her face, and said so.

The two chatted while quietly waiting for the arrival of the project leader.

As time went on, other researchers arrived and greeted Lynn and Terra.

"Good morning, Lynn, Terra."

"Good morning, Duke."

Lynn smiled in response, watching Duke walk towards his table.

"Good morning……"

Lynn nodded and exchanged greetings with another researcher.

Lynn's research team consists of twenty researchers, plus project leader Vidal and deputy director Kalk, a total of twenty-two people.

As time passed, when it reached ten o'clock, the two persons in charge, Vidal and Kalk, also arrived together.

Kalk's entire body has been transformed into metal, and he looks as dull as metal.

Vidal is a little old man with white hair, always with a kind smile on his face, giving people the image of a friendly wise man.

Although he didn't look like a powerful wizard but more like an old man in the world, Lynn was not fooled by his appearance.

He had seen Vidal lose his temper.

At that time, he angrily scolded the researchers around him as "stupid fools", but the aura displayed by Vidal's mental power was horrifying.

The spiritual power surrounding him took on a viscous liquid form, emitting a powerful sense of oppression.

This spiritual power in the three forms of gaseous, liquid and solid corresponds to the first-level wizard, second-level wizard and third-level wizard respectively.

It is obvious that Vidal has reached the level of a second-level wizard and has gone a long way on the road to becoming a second-level wizard.

Although he looks amiable on the surface, he is actually a powerful man with terrifying strength.

Vidal first briefly checked the progress of the project, and then analyzed each person's work report one by one.

Finally, he let out a long breath and slammed his palm on the table, making a loud "pa" sound, which made everyone's nerves tense and their eyes stern.

"It's been a month and the project hasn't made any progress at all! You guys are such a bunch of losers!"

Vidal was furious, his voice like thunder, and he listed everyone as a target of attack without favoritism.

"I really don't understand how you can become a full-fledged wizard with your brains! I've explained this simple thing so many times, yet you're still so confused!"

His angry words were full of insults. Sticky mental forces appeared beside the furious old man, emitting suffocating pressure with great momentum.

Lynn had just arrived, and although Vidal's anger did not directly affect him, the strong feeling of oppression still made him feel helpless.

The scene of being scolded by the teacher in the classroom seemed to reverberate in his mind, and he could not help but clench his fists. Vidal vented his anger mercilessly for a full half hour, and during this time, the deputy director Kalk remained silent, quietly waiting for him to finish venting.

Finally, Vidal took a deep breath and seemed to calm down a little, but the anger in his eyes still remained.

He shook his hands, decided to face reality, and explain it to these "stupid" researchers again.

"Okay, I'll tell you again from the beginning."

His tone was grim. “You must have a deep understanding of this simulation environment before you can come up with targeted improvement plans.”

As his voice fell, Vidal seemed to adjust the pressure around him, and the malice in the entire space suddenly rose sharply.

For a moment, everyone felt as if they were surrounded by an invisible pressure. Their breathing became heavy, as if they were thousands of meters under the sea, with the air thin and breathing difficult.

"I'm now adjusting the simulation environment to half, so keep an eye on it."

As Vidal waved his hand, three virtual panels appeared in the air, each with a mirror image.

"This is our wizarding world."

The picture on the far left showed a familiar wizarding world. Vidal glanced at it briefly, as if he didn't want to waste time and didn't linger on this part for too long.

"This is what the target world originally looked like."

He pointed at the picture in the middle, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"The whole world is wrapped up. The energy world, the material world, and the outside world are all mixed together in a sphere. It is chaotic and disorderly, and it is impossible to distinguish them."

The picture is chaotic and complicated, like a tangled mass of threads, an indecipherable chaos.

"And this," Vidal pointed to the picture on the right.
"This is the target world after being transformed by alien creatures. It is also the content that we need to improve most now."

The picture is divided into five layers, each of which seems independent of each other but is closely connected.

It was a scene with clear layers and full of traces of alien life forms. It was so intricate and gave people an insurmountable sense of oppression.

Lin En's eyes were fixed on the picture, and he understood that this was the core research of his project team.

"According to the knowledge we have gathered about alien creatures, these five levels, from the inside to the outside, are: the Inner Plane, the Ethereal Plane, the Material Plane, the Outer Plane, and the Astral Plane."

Vidal's voice was serious and clear as he broke down these complex concepts word by word and explained them to all researchers.

"Inner planes."

He paused for a moment and glanced at everyone.
“In the civilization of alien creatures, this is the source of power and the place where various elements converge.

Besides the familiar 'earth element,' 'water element,' 'fire element,' 'air element' (also known as wind element), and so on, there are even more elements that permeate it. They intertwine and collide here, giving rise to the most powerful energy.

Then, Vidal pointed to the middle screen and continued:

"Next is the Ethereal Plane. This is a mysterious, misty dimension. Its 'shores' are called the Ethereal Borders, and certain areas overlap with the Material Plane and the Inner Planes.

In other words, any space that exists in the Material Plane and the Inner Planes can be found in the Ethereal Plane. Simply put, it is a central area connecting various planes and dimensions.

He continued:
"As for the material plane, this plane is similar to the real world of the wizarding world. It is where wizards live and survive. You can think of it as the 'middle layer' of our daily lives."

"Outer Planes,"

Vida paused, his tone slightly solemn.
"This is where supernatural powers converge, eventually transforming it into the ultimate space of illusion and mystery. This plane is also known as the 'plane where gods exist', and is called the kingdom of gods by alien creatures where countless ancient gods exist."

Finally, Vidal pointed to the far right screen:
"The astral plane is a vast silver sea. There is no clear distinction between up and down. Grayish-white bands of light roll in it, as if the stars are intertwined.

The Astral Plane is considered to be the outermost layer of the wizarding world, an endless sea of ​​the world. The vastness and mystery here are far beyond our imagination, and it is full of countless possibilities. "

However, the wizarding world's understanding of the outside world is completely different from these alien civilizations, and the rules of the world are also completely different.

Therefore, whenever creatures from the wizarding world enter the other world, they will naturally be suppressed by the rules of that world.

In such a passive environment, let alone the victory of the expedition, it would be a blessing to be able to keep your life.

Vidal waved his hand gently, and the virtual panel containing the five planes automatically floated above the other two panels.

And two downward arrows are generated.

Vidal pointed to the three panels beside him and said calmly:
"Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment is to transform the environment changed by the alien civilization. We don't have to transform it into the rules of the wizard world.
At least we should try to make it a neutral environment where no one interferes with the other. Only in this way can we create a fair environment for us and reduce environmental threats.”

"After our practice, we found that the effect of conventional otherworldly purification devices in that world may be only half or even lower.
Therefore, we need to carry out targeted improvements. We are responsible for the outer shell of the alien purification device and creating or finding the most effective metal material..."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire laboratory became extremely solemn.

Every researcher lowered their heads and began to think carefully about how to start from these complex levels and find a breakthrough.

"Every seven days is a cycle, and every cycle requires progress. No matter how big or small the progress is, it's better than nothing. I hope you won't let me down..."

Vidal spoke calmly, and then asked everyone to follow the normal process.

Of course, he did not adjust to the oppressive feeling of the surrounding environment, and it was still this dull and uncomfortable environment.

Since the energy factor is not enough, just go to the huge exposed stone next to it to replenish it.

Perhaps this can be considered as a spur to everyone's poor progress...

When Lin En attended his first class in the research project group, he was completely confused. There was no clear idea in his mind, and no feasible plan.

This is normal, as his research on the wizarding world, extraordinary civilizations, expeditions to other worlds, and even mechanics is not in-depth.

After all, he had just celebrated his seventeenth birthday a while ago, and it had been more than two years since he officially joined the wizarding world.

Even if he had natural talent, it would be impossible for him to cram so much knowledge into his mind all at once.

"take it easy……"

Lynn fiddled with the unique metal materials in front of him, rubbing the texture of the metal gently with his palms, trying his first formal research after being promoted to a wizard from scratch.

Although the Mechanical City is now in a state of war, the interior of the Mechanical City is as stable as before, not to mention researchers like Lin En.

If we have to say something different, it would be that the environment and atmosphere are a bit dull and serious, but for wizards who are dedicated to exploring knowledge, it doesn't matter.

Now that Lin En and his men are in the tightest defense of the Mechanical City, they have enough time to research and manufacture...

Of course, for Lin En, there is plenty of time to develop and practice.

After his birthday, the surge in his spiritual realm officially ended. It was time to detect his current spiritual power data and formulate a practice plan...
