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

Chapter 140 Research
The aftermath of the interdimensional war was unusually calm in the wizard camp of Norn Workshop.

There was no deafening celebration, nor a grand award ceremony.

Wizards have always been rational and practical beings; they value knowledge and results.

Even if this trial hadn't been related to the subsequent division of ownership of the Erosian plane, the contribution list symbolizing honor probably wouldn't have been published.

However, this unexpected victory also brought an unexpected benefit to all the wizard apprentices who participated in the trial—they ended their year-long trial early and gained an extra six months of precious free time.

This is an extremely precious period of reflection. For wizards, knowledge and wisdom are far more important than simply leveling up.

Only by accumulating enough knowledge and integrating it into a coherent understanding can a wizard truly be worthy of their current rank and prepare to advance to a higher level.

That's what Jemin did too.

Once he settled in the camp, he immediately put all other chores aside and plunged headlong into his research.

He knew that these six months would be a golden period for his self-improvement.

Looking at his research notes, Jemin circled the section related to the Divine Power Faith Network: "Let's prioritize studying this area..."

To discuss the network of beliefs in divine power, we must first start with the existence of "gods".

Even in the infinitely diverse planes of existence, worlds with genuine "gods" are few and far between.

In most worlds, the "gods" worshipped by mortals are merely beings of a slightly higher level, or projections of powerful creatures; they have not truly mastered the core laws of a plane.

True gods, regardless of their strength, are born with a special rule of that plane, and can use this as a foundation to form unique divine offices.

Deities are divided into two types: primordial deities and deities of faith.

Both of these deities represent immense benefits and research value.

For example, the primordial gods are, in the eyes of wizards, living "embodiments of rules".

It's no exaggeration to say that a primordial deity, regardless of its strength, can allow a wizard to advance smoothly to level six as long as they can thoroughly study it.

The birth of primordial deities signifies their deep integration with the origin of the plane; they themselves are a manifestation of the laws of the plane.

Studying them is tantamount to directly learning the most core secrets of the plane.

While the deities worshipped may be slightly weaker than the primordial gods in terms of strength and stability, they are in no way inferior in value.

Moreover, overall, the number of worshipped deities is actually less than that of the original deities.

Because the conditions for the birth of a deity are much more demanding, far beyond what a simple, powerful being can achieve.

Many people believe that gods existed first, followed by faith, while a minority believe that faith existed first, followed by gods.

However, through in-depth research into the divine power belief network, Jemin has confirmed that both of these views are incorrect.

He is now certain that an efficient energy transmission system came first, followed by faith and then deities.

Simply put, the prerequisite for the birth of gods in a plane is that the plane inherently possesses a special and extremely efficient energy transmission and transformation system.

Then, this system can accumulate a special kind of energy, and under certain coincidences, combine with a specific living being, or even the energy itself can give birth to a will, and thus become a god of faith.

To achieve this, the energy transmission and conversion system of this plane must be extremely efficient, to an extent that can be described as extraordinarily efficient.

It can be said that in every plane with a god, there is a unique local network of divine power and belief... or an energy transmission and transformation system.

If thoroughly understanding the rules governing the primordial deities could allow a wizard to instantly reach level six, then a naturally formed energy transmission and conversion system like this would be more than enough for a wizard to use indefinitely.

Its theoretical depth and application prospects may even surpass simple level upgrades.

The best way to study this naturally formed energy transmission and transformation system is, of course, to study the already formed deities themselves.

After all, the energy circulation pathways within these deities are almost a perfect replica of the transformation system of the plane.

Even if a god has been captured, staying in that plane and continuing to study the remaining characteristics of that plane can still be quite effective.

The Erosian plane is now a perfect "living dissection table" stripped of its gods.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and Jemin devoured the knowledge with great eagerness. He devoted all his energy to studying the remaining energy network of the Erosian plane.

At the same time, he repeatedly delved into his spiritual sea, deducing the rune model and integrating the various new knowledge he had recently acquired into his own sorcery system.

The harvest was amazing.

Through continuous research into the energy transmission and conversion system of this plane, the three sorcery models within his mental sea were automatically optimized three times!

Each optimization has brought about a qualitative leap.

They consume less mental energy when released, have a wider range, and are more intense.

In the testing room, Jemin, having finished casting the spell, looked at the results displayed on the instrument and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief:

"Not bad, it's a pity that the precision of the manipulation wasn't improved in time, otherwise these three spells could have been officially upgraded to level one spells."

In other words, all three spells that Jemin has constructed at this stage are logistics-based. In addition to simply outputting energy, they also require excellent operational skills to enhance their effects, which is why the enhancement is "not very obvious".

If he were to construct an offensive magic model on his own right now, his combat power would directly surpass that of most pure combat-oriented level one wizards!
However, this was not a big problem for Jemin.

By modifying his own rune artifacts, he can achieve or even surpass the combat effects brought about by purely offensive magic.

Thinking of this, he took out something that looked like a metal bracelet, with scattered runes on it.

This somewhat simple-looking bracelet is the "prototype" of the new talismanic artifact. The main reason is that his research on the energy transmission and conversion system represented by the divine power belief network has not yet reached a bottleneck. The modification of the talismanic artifact changes almost every day, so he has not paid much attention to its appearance.

"It was made just a week ago, but now it has quite a few flaws."

Even though he hasn't fully figured out all the secrets of this energy transmission and conversion system, the knowledge that Jemin currently possesses, when modified onto the rune artifact, has more than doubled its instantaneous burst of energy intensity and its efficiency in absorbing surrounding air elements for its own use, while keeping the level of the rune artifact unchanged!
This means that the energy endurance and burst power of the talismanic artifact have been significantly enhanced.

Most importantly, this extremely high energy conversion efficiency makes the most suitable rune artifacts not offensive or defensive types, but rather the element storage type rune artifacts developed by Jemin!

If this efficiency could be applied to elemental storage-type rune artifacts, then his future elemental reserves and spell casting efficiency would reach an astonishing level.

However, time is still too short. Modifying the elemental storage type rune artifact is more complex than the rune artifact itself, and Jemin doesn't have time to do it yet.

Just as Jemin was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, his magical artifact vibrated again, displaying a communication request.

He glanced at it; it was David.

Jemin accepted the communication.

David's projection appeared before him, still the same calm yet slightly weary scholar.

“Jermin, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.” David’s voice was slightly hoarse. “I have already designated all the areas for the native intelligent beings of the Erosian plane that need to be received and submitted them to the camp. You can go and receive them at any time.”

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Jemin's eyes. "You finished so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Jemin hesitated.

He had limited space in the camp and could not accommodate a large number of these living creatures.

David seemed to sense his concerns and smiled slightly: "There's no need to worry about the space issue. Although the entire plane cluster hasn't been fully sorted out yet, the main plane of the Erosian plane has been roughly cleared up."

“In areas like the human kingdom, the wizard camp has already completely occupied them and made initial plans. You can now designate a piece of land for your use. If more areas are needed later, additional land can be allocated based on your contribution.”

Upon hearing this, Jemin's eyes lit up!
Because he suddenly thought of a perfect place.

The mansion he bought in Goldenport underwent extensive renovations.

Not only the underground laboratory, but the entire manor is shrouded in a level-six magic array, making it secluded and safe, and a very suitable base in itself.

Most importantly, most of the city had been reduced to ruins and was in a state of chaos, which made it very suitable for him to carry out large-scale reconstruction and renovation later, and also made it easier for him to conduct some unknown experiments.

“Golden Harbor!” Jemin blurted out, a genuine smile spreading across his face. “David, I’ve decided to make Golden Harbor our first territory! I’ll apply to the camp management to take over the entire area where Golden Harbor is located. When that happens, you can send the people and the notes there.”

David smiled slightly: "Golden Harbor? That's a nice place. No problem, I'll arrange everything. Don't worry, I'll send over the remaining modification potions one after another."

With communications cut off, Jemin stood up, looked out at the land of the Elosian plane outside the camp, and took a deep breath.
