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

Chapter 185 Realm Gains
Chapter 185

The great world upon which the civilization of gods rests is called the Kingdom of Heaven.

In this vast and boundless universe filled with divine radiance, the world is structured into five planes, layered upon each other, each distinct.

These five planes are: the inner plane; the etheric plane; the material plane, which is the real world and is the closest to mortals and has the most regular form; the outer plane; and the astral plane.

The material plane is the thirteenth plane world we are in now, which has been extensively modified by mechanical wizards using an interdimensional purification device, and has almost become a "real battlefield" dominated by wizards.

However, on this material plane that had been completely reconstructed by the "poison pill plan," a rift of holy light suddenly tore open the sky.

The Goddess of the Magic Network, along with her avatar possessing the qualities of a formal deity, directly summoned her divine kingdom from a higher-dimensional outer plane!

Therefore, the mechanical wizard's plan can clearly not be considered a success.

While they did alter the rules of the material plane, the Goddess of the Magic Net led her followers into the outer plane.

Currently, the goddess army and the wizard army are still locked in a standoff, but the conflict has shifted from the material plane to a cross-plane confrontation.

At this very moment, on the horizon, the enormous fortress, floating high in the sky like a floating mountain range, hangs silently.

Deep within the floating fortress, the will of the city lord of the mechanical capital resides.

At his command, the entire Thirteenth Dimension underwent a dramatic transformation.

With a single word, he could change the world and control everything, almost like a creator.

However, even though the Goddess of the Magic Network opened up an outer plane and led her to her divine kingdom, thus thwarting his plan, it was still a failure.

But the city lord of the mechanical city did not change color in the slightest, nor did he show any frustration at the failure of his plan. Instead, he remained calm and deep in thought.

"...something's wrong."

"The thirteenth dimension seems... to be much more special than I imagined."

he thought.

Based on previous monitoring of multiple battlefield planes, the avatar of the Goddess of the Magic Network can only maintain a demigod level at most, regardless of which plane it is on.

Only in the thirteenth dimension did her avatar achieve the authority and power of a formal deity, capable of splitting realms to summon a divine kingdom.

This phenomenon cannot be explained simply by "abundant faith energy".

The price difference between summoning a demigod-level avatar and a full-fledged divine avatar is like heaven and earth.

Who would lightly start a war of this magnitude unless absolutely necessary?

So, what exactly did she see in him?
Is it the seat itself?

He quickly dismissed the idea.

Since their arrival here, the Mechanical City has repeatedly explored the spiritual vein structure, material resources, time flow, and spatial depth of this world...

All are below average, with no characteristics of exceeding the upper limit.

In other words, her goal is not "the world itself".

Then it can only be... a certain "existence"!
The city lord of the mechanical capital slowly raised his head.

His will pierced through the fortress's metal walls, passed through layers of floating systems and sensing satellites, and shot straight toward the Eastern Theater Command.

That place was where the Goddess of the Magic Network first arrived in the divine realm.

That was also the place where she repeatedly used her divine power to intervene.

She seemed to be searching for something, refusing to give up, and even went so far as to project the first round of the divine kingdom onto the battlefield.

"What is on that battlefield that warrants her personal intervention?"

"Is it some mysterious relic? Or some important individual?"

With this in mind, the city lord of the mechanical city issued his order once again.

This time, the order was directed at the entire Thirteenth Dimension.

Whether it was the scorched desert front in the west, the rift valleys along the southern coast, or the long, iron-clad defensive corridor in the north.

All the mechanical wizard legions have been redeployed and are being assembled in the Eastern Theater Command!
The lord of the Mechanical City has decided to mobilize the entire military force of the city and launch an extremely risky operation:

A direct assault on the divine barrier of a legitimate deity!

"Hurry..."

"We must get there before that goddess of magic finds what she wants..."

His voice was deep and cold, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness.

Despite still having limited information, they relied on a vast computational matrix, a profound understanding of the gods, and a sliver of accurate intuition.

He has pieced together more than 80% of the whole story.

The goal of the Goddess of the Magic Network is not territory or resources, but "a certain existence".

And she has already opened the gates of the divine realm and is now locking onto it.

At this moment, the city lord no longer hesitated.

They made a remarkably decisive decision in a short period of time, directly gathering the wizarding power of the entire plane world to invade the divine kingdom of the outer plane.

At this moment, with the complete contraction of the Goddess of the Magic Network, if it were a normal interdimensional expedition, this would be the time for the wizards to seize territory on a large scale.

But this is not an ordinary interdimensional expedition. Whether we can occupy the entire plane or harvest its resources is not important.

The most important thing is actually only one thing, and that is this clone of the Goddess of the Magic Network, nothing more.

For this reason, instead of taking advantage of the dramatic changes in the material plane to seize more territory, the wizard army abandoned its previous territories and continued to gather in the eastern war zone.

In fact, not only the wizard army, but also the powerful figures in the goddess army had no intention of occupying the plane.

At the same time, the goddess faction also made a mirror-symmetrical response:
Those goddess legions that were once stationed in various war zones, shouldering the responsibility of purification and spreading divinity.

Upon hearing the "divine revelation" from the goddess's avatar that pierced their souls, they all took action without prior agreement.

Even if they are in the frozen far north, or on the fiery islands of the south; or surrounded by mechanical wizards...

As long as faith remains, divinity will respond.

They need no means of transportation, nor do they need to cross battlefields; they only need to loudly call upon the name of their faith to receive the "guide" to God's kingdom.

Thus, figures of believers rose from all corners of the plane, flying like shooting stars toward the eastern sky, where they echoed and resonated with the goddess's divine kingdom.

The entire landscape of the thirteenth dimension underwent a dramatic transformation in just a few days:
Almost simultaneously, the two massive factions abandoned all struggles for peripheral territories and converged entirely on the east.

One sought to invade the divine kingdom, the other to protect it.

All the spearheads, all the power, and all the wars converged on the eastern war zone, which was shrouded in the divine kingdom projected by the goddess.

In other abandoned areas, silence and tranquility returned.

The wind blew across the empty ruins, and blades of grass sprouted from the scorched earth. Some of the world's original inhabitants, having long enjoyed freedom, looked up at the sunlight. They no longer saw the wizard's steel golems, nor did they witness the divine messengers walking.

The world seemed to have suddenly returned to its original state, quiet and unfamiliar.

An old man who had lived for hundreds of years lingered on the ravaged battlefield, staring blankly at the empty, clear sky, and murmured softly:

"If it weren't for the different rules governing this world, I might really have thought... all of this... was just a dream?"

Without the oppression of gods and wizards, those long-forgotten memories seem to resurface.

They seemed to have returned to a very, very long time ago, to an era before the civilization of the gods had swallowed them up...

....................................

"...We are now within the divine kingdom of the Goddess of the Magic Network."

The voice of Maple Tree came from within the Spirit of the Azure Sky; he had been urging the Spirit of the Azure Sky to cooperate with Lynn.

Therefore, he naturally knew what had happened throughout the entire process, and at this moment he spoke slowly, with a hint of unease in his voice.

"The divine realm... is this the outer plane...?"

Lynn murmured to himself, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings, his expression grave.

Without hesitation, he immediately activated his Gray Eagle Armor. The cold metal plates quickly covered his entire body, with fine runes crisscrossing in the air.

A faint blue light emerged from his chest, reflecting the energy fluctuations of the Azure Sky Spirit.

Being in this place, he was more aware than most of the kind of existence he was facing.

Lynn had previously led a research project on the "Civilization of the Gods" in the City of Machines, and possessed a professional understanding of the world and civilization levels of the gods that rivaled that of wizard scholars.

He still remembered what the project's chief coordinator, old man Vidal, had told him:
"The civilization of gods is based on a five-fold structure, the most mysterious and unpredictable of which is the 'outer plane,' also known as the realm of the gods."

This is the final destination of all deities, the convergence point of power, faith, spirituality, and mystery, the ultimate space where extraordinary rules intertwine to form a web and abstract reality into mysterious totems.

It is the end of illusion, the fortress of divinity.

Lynn looked up and saw that there was no earth, no river, and not even the sun, moon, or stars around him.

Only the rolling sea of ​​clouds, dense and thick, radiated a faint glow, like an illusion woven from some transcendent law.

These clouds intertwine and overlap, forming a boundless land.

The vibrant colors swirled in the air, their density so intense they resembled liquid.

In the distance, some eerie colors pulsed, a mix of deep blue, blood red, and pitch black, as if slumbering in some divine dream.

This divine kingdom does not welcome mortals.

It rejects logic, science, and all worldly knowledge.

What made Lynn most uneasy was that there was no one else there except him and Maple.

There was no outline of a war fortress, no sign of an army of mechanical wizards, no trace of the Awakening, and even the worshippers of the goddess were nowhere to be found.

It was as if, the moment they entered the divine realm, they were filtered, reorganized, and stripped away by the "divine will," and each was thrown into a different divine realm space.

Now, he faces a dream world where he is isolated and helpless.

Lynn slowly withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath of the slightly cold air, and his mind quickly replayed everything that had just happened.

He quickly made a calm judgment:

One good news, one bad news.

The good news is that, on their side, within the wizarding camp, there is indeed a powerful figure who is no less formidable than the Goddess of the Magic Network.

Not long ago, the world outside the divine realm trembled violently; it was a clash of extraordinary wills, a collision of power and rules.

The presence of that powerful wizard clearly held back the Goddess of the Magic Network and exerted a certain influence on her, preventing her from continuing to track Lynn and Qi.

However, bad news also emerged:

The competition between top experts is like a game of chess, with each player taking turns to clash.

Just now, the wizards had the upper hand.

But now, the scales have begun to tip.

The will of the Goddess of the Magic Network once again prevailed, and Lynn happened to be in the "God's Domain" of this terrifying god!
Lynn knew that this goddess of magic was so crazy, tracking him all the way from the Seven Star Temple, just to find the culprit, him and Qi.

Therefore, one can imagine the psychological pressure Lynn was under at this moment.

"At this point, we can only take it one step at a time... I hope that powerful wizard can traverse this divine kingdom before I am discovered..."

Lynn took a deep breath, and three permanent sorcery marks on his body shimmered with a faint light.

Lynn certainly took a great risk in this plunder of faith, and is still in the aftermath of that risk, at any moment he could be discovered by the goddess and his life would be in danger.

But Lynn's gains during this plunder of faith were also immeasurable.

If we convert that into time, it would probably take an ordinary level one wizard one or two hundred years to catch up with him in a single night.

Even using himself as a model, Lynn felt that he had skipped at least ten or even several decades of arduous training to reach the level of a second-level wizard.

Moreover, it's not the ordinary early stage of a level two wizard, but the mid-stage of a level two wizard!
Lynn sensed his current state through the feedback from the Gray Eagle Armor.

"Lynn, Mental Strength: 249 points, Physical Fitness: 20 points."

The second-level wizard realm is divided into three levels: early, middle, and late.

At the initial stage of a Level 2 Wizard, one's mental strength is between 200 and 225 points. During this period, the vaporized mental strength will begin to liquefy.

At the mid-stage of a level two wizard, mental strength will increase from 226 to 250 points. During this period, mental strength will be completely liquefied, thus freeing up a large amount of space.

In the late stage of a level two wizard, with a mental strength of 251 to 275 points, the mental domain is completely filled and liquefied.

"At the mid-stage of a Level Two Wizard, one more step and you can break through to the late-stage of a Level Two Wizard!"

Lynn took a deep breath; the improvement this time was truly enormous.

If we can return safely, then the risks we've taken are entirely acceptable compared to the risks involved.

"Besides my mental strength, my physical constitution has also been further enhanced..."

Lynn recalled how the energy radiation transformed his body when the Level 2 permanent sorcery mark took shape, further enhancing his physical abilities.

"A second-level wizard apprentice is a preliminary improvement, but due to the limited amount of energy radiation, the improvement is only a meager three points; a first-level wizard, on the other hand, possesses a permanent first-level wizarding mark, resulting in enhanced energy radiation and a greater improvement in physical strength..."

"However, a level two permanent sorcery mark stores more energy factors than a level one permanent sorcery mark, and correspondingly, the improvement in physical strength will be greater... My body is still adapting, and it may take some time before it can fully adapt..."

Lynn clenched his fist; twenty points of physique wasn't even his current limit...

“My level two permanent sorcery mark is different from my level one permanent sorcery mark…”
