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

Chapter 167 Departure and Information

It wasn't until now, when facing these high-level wizards from other forces who hadn't deliberately concealed their power, that Jemin suddenly realized just how vast the gap was between himself and those high-level wizards.

That was an insurmountable chasm, a chasm between mortals and gods.

At this moment, he was merely a tiny presence on the edge of this chasm.

No one knew the turmoil in Jemin's heart. While he was in a daze, the level six wizard had already descended above them.

Wizards are among the most rational and ruthless species in this multiverse.

All their actions are based on the pursuit of truth, knowledge, and resources.

Under the general training system for wizards, wizards know why they fight and what they seek on this journey.

Therefore, the large-scale expeditions of wizards are different from those of other races.

There were no lengthy and impassioned pre-battle mobilizations, no emotional oaths, and none of the morale-boosting pronouncements common in the armies of ordinary people—everything was simple and efficient.

The same is true this time.

When the imposing sixth-level wizard appeared, he didn't waste any words, but simply and calmly introduced himself:

"I am Augustine from the Tower of Annihilation, one of the leaders of this expedition."

His voice was deep and powerful, and through the resonance of spiritual energy, it pierced through the clamor of tens of thousands of wizards, echoing clearly throughout the entire hall.

He offered no words of encouragement, nor did he paint a picture of future victory. After introducing himself, he simply and directly issued the order: "All participating wizards, board the ship within fifteen minutes. Set sail!"

At the command, tens of thousands of wizards surged toward the hall's exit like a tidal wave, flying toward the vast, desolate continent in the sky.

They either used their respective flying magic, their bodies surrounded by flowing elements that transformed into streaks of light.

Or they can ride their own tamed flying mounts of various shapes and sizes, such as giant vultures or winged monsters, and roar into the sky.

Even more extreme, some pilot various bizarre vehicles, such as ancient-looking spaceships, floating platforms carrying alchemical golems and bio-beasts, or even being carried by their own cloaks.

Even without anyone directing them, the wizards still took off in an orderly fashion, following the correct sequence.

The area above the boundary point instantly transformed into a massive, sky-covering torrent of wizards.

Jemin and Viola also rose into the air along with the crowd.

The floating cannon array silently circled behind Jemin, flying alongside him.

Viola sat gracefully sideways on a long, shimmering staff.

She turned her head to look at Jemin, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a 'boat ride,' the real excitement is yet to come," she said softly, but there was a barely perceptible hint of excitement in her voice.

Jemin nodded; he could feel his blood rushing through his body and his adrenaline surging.

This is not out of fear, but rather the excitement of facing the unknown and challenges.

As they continued to climb, once Jemin and his group broke through a certain critical point, Jemin clearly felt a subtle change in the surrounding gravity.

The familiar downward pull of gravity disappeared, replaced by a potential energy that descended upside down.

They were no longer flying towards the sky, but rather slowly falling as if towards a vast, independent continent.

Jemin reacted instantly, turning his body and gently and steadily landing on the scorched and desolate "ship".

This bizarre shift in gravity is a direct experience of the distortion of the laws of space, representing a transition from a "world" governed by physical laws to another independent "world".

The desolate plane is extremely vast, with an uneven surface, scorched rocks and cracked earth everywhere, and a faint smell of sulfur and death permeating the air.

As the last wizard landed safely, Augustine, the sixth-level wizard of the Tower of Annihilation, suddenly radiated light around his body.

He hovered in the sky above the plane, arms outstretched, eyes slightly narrowed.

A massive surge of spiritual power erupted like a tidal wave, instantly connecting with the very core of the desolate plane's origin.

He was not manipulating the rules of the plane, but rather like a skilled captain, imprinting his will, carrying the corresponding spatial coordinates, deep into the "ship" of the plane.

"set sail."

Augustine's voice was deep and resonant, as if it were merging with the hum emanating from the plane itself.

As soon as he gave the order, the vast, desolate land that covered the sky above the border point reacted.

To the wizards and shopkeepers from other races who were still at the border, the desolate land that had been hanging over the sky suddenly contracted inward like a rubber band stretched to its limit!

The entire plane began to twist and fold at a visible speed, starting from the edges. The originally flat spatial structure became like a crumpled piece of paper. Then, with a silent roar, that enormous land vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

It was as if it had never existed, leaving only the chaotic void background above the boundary point.

Such a spectacular sight, beyond the imagination of ordinary people, was nothing more than a common occurrence in the eyes of the wizards and alien races within the border.

They glanced up a couple more times to make sure the "ship" had left, then returned to their busy lives and noisy transactions.

After all, such dimensional shifts have occurred countless times and are no longer surprising.

Inside the plane, ordinary low-level wizards didn't feel much.

Because of his all-seeing eye, Jemin was able to "observe" the rapid changes in various coefficients of this plane.

“This is the power of high-level wizards; they can manipulate and control planes,” Viola said softly, standing beside Jemin, a hint of longing in her eyes.

As a level three wizard, she is qualified to access spatial power and can more clearly sense changes in the plane.

Inside the "ship" dimension, which was being manipulated and moved by Augustine, tens of thousands of wizards had gathered.

However, compared to a complete plane, it appears extremely empty.

The wizards searched for their own place to settle on the vast, desolate land and got busy with their own tasks.

After observing for a while, Jemin realized that this emptiness was not accidental, but rather something the wizards had deliberately created.

He saw that many wizards, after landing, immediately began to take out all sorts of bio-beasts or golems from their respective spatial equipment without any delay.

These man-made creations come in various forms, including giant beasts with thick skin and varied shapes, mechanical constructs clad in metal armor, and humanoid puppets emitting strange energy fluctuations.

Once summoned or released, they immediately follow instructions and neatly arrange themselves into cold, rigid legions.

Clearly, these bio-engineered creatures and other artificial beings are the first wave of cannon fodder invading other dimensions.

They are numerous, tireless, and fearless of death, making them the most suitable tools to wear down the enemy's strength or even directly break through the enemy's dimensional defenses.

Secondly, it is the proper combat-oriented wizards who break through the enemy's lines.

As logistics wizards, Jemin and Viola didn't need to make these pre-battle preparations.

Their missions are more focused on mid-stage battles within the plane, as well as cleanup, reconstruction, and resource management after the conquest. In the early stages of the battle, they need to focus more on self-preservation.

As soon as he settled down on the "ship" plane, Jemin couldn't wait to take out his magic network terminal.

The terminal interface has been updated with information about the plane we will be conquering.

However, the amount of this information is extremely small, but its depth is strangely limited.

The entire message can be summarized in just two brief points:

First point: There are two level-six beings in this plane.

Secondly, this plane itself is very peculiar. Among the four basic elements, fire and water are extremely active, but the remaining two elements—earth and wind—are very calm, or even inert.

Apart from that, there is no information about the races, terrain distribution, creatures, or even a simple map of the plane; there is absolutely no intelligence.

This made Jemin feel uneasy.

"How did they obtain such intelligence? Didn't they conduct any in-depth reconnaissance?" Jemin couldn't help but ask Viola beside him.

Viola had clearly anticipated his question, and she explained the reasoning in detail: "This information means that the level six wizard who discovered the plane did not actually enter the plane. He was merely observing it from a distance in the chaotic void through the plane's external manifestations."

"As I told you before, the so-called planes are actually miracles created by the coincidence of certain elements with specific laws coming together. The elemental composition, energy cycle, and even the operation of laws within each plane will eventually be manifested through the plane barrier."

Viola continued, “From the outside, in the chaotic void, one can naturally observe the elemental composition of this plane—for example, its fire and water elements are particularly active. These are manifestations of the plane’s characteristics on the surface.”

Jemin understood this, but then he was puzzled by another crucial piece of information: "Then how can you know the strength of the beings within the plane? For example, those two level-six creatures? This can't be known through mere external observation, can it?"

Viola nodded: "You've hit the nail on the head. This is indeed not something that can be grasped through mere external observation. It involves the characteristics of higher beings."

She paused, her tone becoming somewhat serious: "Level six beings, whether wizards, gods, or beings from other dimensions, are naturally able to communicate with the origins of their respective planes."

"Their existence is inherently bound to the laws of the plane, and their power penetrates deeper into the plane, resonating with the plane's origin. This resonance makes them even more conspicuous in the chaotic void, like two blazing lighthouses in the dark night sky."

“Of course, I’m not entirely clear on the specific mechanisms either, since this is already considered a level six wizard, or even a higher level of knowledge,” Viola added.

Jemin fell into deep thought.
