I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 139 Preparation
With the help of the wise man, a person of high rank and power, many things became much easier.

The reason why Jemin and his group's little schemes in the capital were able to land smoothly was partly because the sage used his abilities to help them cover them up.

But when David confirmed that Jemin and his group would make their move that night, preparing to contaminate faith in order to create an opportunity for the high-ranking wizards.

In order to gain an extra contribution at the end, David joined forces with the sage to make a final move:

They secretly gathered together the high-ranking members of all races—the mortal leaders who held the highest power among mortals and could mobilize armies and organize resistance.

Then, catching them completely off guard, the sage activated a magical trap he had prepared in advance, instantly annihilating everyone.

This explains why, when Jemin and his group successfully escaped the capital, although the city was in chaos, no one was truly in charge to take charge and organize an effective counterattack.

Because by then, all the high-ranking officials had already died in this silent "decapitation operation".

This is precisely the key reason why David ranks second on the contribution list.

He essentially participated in the faith-polluting plan of the five Jemins, and also made an additional huge contribution by eliminating mortal leaders.

Therefore, apart from Jemin, who was the leader, his contribution was the highest.

Sensing the message from the wizard camp transmitted through the magical artifact, David's lips curled into a confident smile.

He knew that his move was absolutely brilliant.

On the other side, the sage, who looked somewhat dazed, couldn't help but recall his first meeting with David.

The young man, using a perspective not belonging to this plane, clearly explained to him the power of the wizard civilization and the ultimate fate of the Erosian plane.

With the wisdom of a sage, one can naturally see that David's actions were a complete scheme to get something for nothing.

If the other party cannot convince you, then there is no point in talking about making a contribution, and naturally there will not be enough contribution to protect the beings of the Erosian plane.

However, he also acknowledged that what David said was true. After clearly recognizing the immense power of the wizarding civilization, the sage was well aware that the Erosian plane had no chance of winning.

Only by depending on others can there be hope for survival.

Of course, besides survival, he could also rise up in rebellion.

What truly moved him was David's soul-stirring words:
"Sage, are you a sage among the nobles of this world, or a sage among the living beings of this world?"

This is what David asked him.

The sage closed his eyes, and the other person's question made him involuntarily recall his past dreams.

So he made his own choice.

There is no place for nobles in the social system of wizards, and the nobles who are angry about this only increase David's disgust.

Therefore, the wise man readily agreed to David's plan to behead him.

He did it not for those nobles, but so that this plane could preserve its flame and continue to exist in another way.

……

……

Although the gods of the higher planes of Erosia have been completely captured by the high-ranking beings of the wizarding civilization, taking over the remaining planes is still a rather large and complex task.

This dimensional cluster contains many sub-dimensions, each of which requires meticulous integration and resource collection.

More importantly, the solutions for dealing with various intelligent and non-intelligent beings within the plane need to be carefully considered and evaluated to ensure that they are in the best interests and long-term plans of the Norren Workshop.

Therefore, for a short period of time, these wizard apprentices who came to participate in the trials actually had some free time.

Fortunately, the disappearance of the dimensional barrier allows them to leave this conquered dimension and return to the Norren Workshop at any time through the spatial teleportation device built in the camp.

At first, Jemin was hesitant.

He was deeply interested in the mysterious network of beliefs in the Erosian plane and wanted to stay and continue his in-depth research.

Since the chaos in the plane, the mortal energy he could collect seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, which he needed to explore further.

However, he still wanted to go back to Norren Workshop first and tell his mentor Clark and the others, since they had paid a lot of attention to him and he had been kind to them.

Unexpectedly, before he could even take any action, his mentor Clark contacted him directly.

Mentor Clark's voice was as steady as ever, with a hint of barely perceptible approval: "Jeming, we are already aware of your performance in this plane and are very satisfied. Your contribution this time has exceeded all of our expectations."

Jemin felt a warmth in his heart and humbly replied, "This is all thanks to my mentor's excellent guidance."

"Don't give me that." Instructor Clark chuckled, then changed his tone, "Noren 13 Academy still has a lot of things for us to do, so we'll be leaving now."

Jemin was slightly taken aback.

"You rascal, seize this opportunity," Professor Clark's voice carried a hint of advice. "The faith network there is a treasure trove. I've done some research on it before, but progress has been slow due to a lack of sufficient materials. Your current conditions are good; perhaps you can forge a path." "Thank you, Professor." All of Jemin's worries vanished.

After saying goodbye to his mentors, Jemin stayed at the wizard camp.

The tense atmosphere that was originally there has vanished, replaced by a triumphant relaxation and busyness.

Some wizards specializing in resource inventory and dimensional integration have arrived one after another and have begun a massive statistical operation.

Jemin didn't get involved in these trivial matters; he returned to his private cabin assigned to him at the camp.

He meticulously organized and compiled the rare materials and items he had collected in the Erosian plane, such as stones with ancient patterns, unique plant samples, and relics from the temple.

Then, he took out his thick notebook and began to carefully record the important knowledge and insights he had gained during this period.

His pen danced across the pages, writing down his deeper insights into the collection and application of worldly energy.

He discovered that the stronger and more complex a person's emotions are, the more worldly air they generate.

However, the worldly energy generated in this way is extremely unstable, and it is very dangerous to use it to temper one's will.

On the contrary, the mortal energy generated under stable conditions, although low in quantity and low in effect, is highly safe.

Therefore, there are different ways to utilize different kinds of worldly energy.

He also meticulously documented his ideas for improving the talismanic artifacts.

This interdimensional war allowed him to verify the potential of the runes in actual combat, and also revealed that there was still room for improvement.

He devised a plan on how to make the seals better adapt to the energy systems of different planes, and how to extract energy more covertly.

Of course, the most important thing is his research findings on the divine power belief network, and his plans for further research.

He even began to envision how to establish a new system for observing and experimenting with faith within his own territory.

Just as Jemin was engrossed in his thoughts and notes, his magical artifact suddenly vibrated slightly.

He opened it and found that it was a communication request from David.

Jemin was somewhat surprised, but answered the call immediately.

David's figure appeared in the projection of the sorcerer's artifact. He was no longer the barbarian he had been when they first met, but had regained the unique aura of a sorcerer.

“Jamin, congratulations on becoming number one.” David got straight to the point, his voice calm and direct. “I guess you already know about my contribution to this mission.”

"You mean those high-ranking beings from other planes who died in the hall?" Jemin raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly amusement.

The deaths of these high-ranking officials could not be kept secret from the wizards, and the news quickly spread throughout the camp.

David's lips curled slightly: "Exactly. However, there is one more thing I need your help with."

Jemin gestured for him to continue.

David's gaze became somewhat complicated, and he briefly explained the agreement he had made with the sage.

He emphasized that this was not a simple transaction, but a promise he made to leave a "seed" for this plane.

“So, my purpose is to make a deal with you,” David said in a deep voice. “I can offer a certain price as payment—my research notes. These notes are mainly what I gained after entering this plane, including my in-depth research on the power of faith, disguise magic, and some characteristics of native creatures.”

He paused, his tone pleading, "I hope you can help me take in some of the native intelligent beings of the Erosian plane and settle them in your future territory. I will provide a detailed list to ensure that they are all chosen by the sages, willing to accept modification, and benevolent towards the wizarding civilization. Rest assured, I will provide the necessary modification potions and assist you in modifying them."

Jemin tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.

David's research notes... He knew that David was a genius of Norren Academy, and that his research happened to be conducted after entering the Erosian plane, so his research results were just right for him.

More importantly, Jemin suddenly realized that after he gained territory in this plane, there seemed to be even more things to do.

He needs people to manage his territory, people to assist his experiments, and even some loyal "test subjects" to observe the effects of the modifications.

These native intelligent beings, selected by the sages and willing to integrate into the wizarding civilization, are undoubtedly the best choice.

“I agree.” Jemin looked up, his gaze deep. “Your research notes are indeed very valuable. As for those intelligent beings, I can place them in my territory and ensure that they can be nurtured in the manner of wizarding civilization.”

A barely perceptible hint of relief and gratitude flashed in David's eyes: "Thank you very much, Jemin. I will send you the research notes as soon as possible."

The transaction between the two parties was carried out swiftly and decisively, without even a written contract.

However, both sides are aware that the other will not go back on their word, as this would benefit both parties.

The communication was cut off, and a smile appeared on Jemin's face.
