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

Chapter 235 Reward
Unfortunately, this dean was not omnipotent.

The spatial portal next to him, which had just been stabilized by everyone working together, was completely destroyed by this terrifying self-destruction force that was so close at hand.

The other wizards around them didn't have time to react, and the only one who could react, Dean Avery Knight, was still preoccupied with dealing with the terrifying power released by the self-destruction of the Destroyer!
And so, everyone could only watch helplessly as the portal to the new world shattered into pieces, like a broken mirror, under the impact of the destructive force.

Finally, the black vortex completely collapsed and dissipated into the air!

It can be said that... all efforts were in vain!
As the black vortex leading to the unknown and rich world completely collapsed before his eyes, dissipating into the most chaotic spatial turbulence, Dean Avery Knight couldn't help but frown slightly.

However, this level of unexpectedness was clearly not enough to shake his rock-solid mind.

He remained remarkably calm, and with a casual wave of his hand, he completely imprisoned the remnant of the Destruction God, which had been sealed layer by layer, within a crystal constructed from pure soul power.

He then precisely cut a small piece from the crystal, handed it to a level five wizard beside him who was skilled in reverse engineering, and began issuing a series of task instructions in an unquestionable tone:
"Leave a small group here immediately to record all the spatial change parameters. Although the spatial coordinates have collapsed, the energy information that has escaped still has enormous research value!"

"Arrange for another group of people to study this sample. Get me to reverse engineer the coordinates of the plane in which this thing is located as quickly as possible!"

The dean's voice turned serious: "We must be quick! Although I blocked most of his distress signals, the sudden and complete disappearance of such a powerful level eight being will surely alert the other civilization quickly!"

"We must re-analyze the accurate coordinates before the other side notices anything amiss and reacts!"

"Yes, Dean!"

The dozens of high-ranking wizards floating around them all nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the wizards, like precisely operating machines, automatically assigned tasks based on their areas of expertise without much communication.

The wizards who majored in spatial science flew directly to the high sky where the spatial storm had not yet subsided, and began to release countless sophisticated detectors to collect every bit of spatial energy that had just dissipated.

Meanwhile, the wizards, who were highly accomplished in biology and spiritual science, immediately surrounded the remains of the Destroyer God, took out all sorts of strange alchemical instruments, and began preliminary research and dissection on the spot.

Two wizards, who seemed to have rather bad tempers, even flew down and impatiently shooed Jemin and David, who were still standing dumbfounded on the island, into the air, as if they were shooing away flies.

Then, together with several other wizards, they cast a spell and actually lifted the entire core island, which was inscribed with a huge sacrificial magic circle, along with the crust beneath it, off the seabed.

Judging from the way these wizards looked, it seemed they were preparing to carry it back to the laboratory for further analysis and research.

As for the sage whose mentality had completely collapsed and who was lying on the reef like a rag doll, he was also "packed up" and taken away by a passing level four wizard with an energy shield.

Judging from his enthusiastic expression, he probably wanted to see if he could study some of the underlying technologies of that unknown civilization from the sage's corrupted soul, and also see if he could dig out some clues about spatial coordinates.

Jemin and David hovered in mid-air, staring in disbelief at the group of high-ranking wizards' efficient sweeping operation, which could be described as "scraping the ground three feet deep."

For a moment, the two of them didn't know what they should do.

Just then, a figure appeared silently in front of the two of them.

It was Dean Avery Knight who had handled everything.

After sensing each other's vast, ocean-like aura, Jemin and David instantly snapped back to their senses.

He immediately adopted a serious expression and bowed respectfully to the legendary seventh-level archmage.

"Jermin (David) greets the Dean."

"No need to be polite."

The two sides exchanged brief greetings.

Dean Avery Knight was clearly a decisive and efficient person who didn't like wasting time, just like any other wizard.

He got straight to the point:

"Although we made a small mistake at the end, which prevented us from directly invading the other world, that was our problem and has nothing to do with you."

"The information you two provided this time was very accurate and crucial. Therefore, I plan to give you an additional reward on top of the reward settled by the academy mission system."

Jemin and David's eyes lit up instantly!
However, before they could even begin to imagine how generous this "extra reward" would be, Dean Avery Knight's next words completely shocked them.

He asked casually, in a tone as indifferent as if asking, "What would you like to eat for dinner?"
"Tell me, what type of 'dimensional origin' do you need?"

"hiss--!"

Even though the two of them already knew that the reward would be quite generous.

But when they heard the words "the origin of a plane" uttered so casually by a level seven wizard, they couldn't help but gasp simultaneously. The so-called "origin of a plane" was practically the most crucial strategic material for assisting wizards advancing from level two to six!
none of them!

Because if wizards of level two or above want to advance further, they must have some understanding and insight into the "laws" of the world.

However, trying to study those ethereal laws out of thin air is not such a simple matter.

The so-called wizards are essentially a group of scholars who observe, learn, and summarize the laws governing all things, and attempt to use their meager individual power to influence the rules of the entire world.

"Laws" are the most fundamental and basic form of expression of all the rules in a world.

One can imagine just how difficult it is to study this.

Unlike other core knowledge that is kept secret by major powers.

In the wizarding civilization, there is almost no knowledge related to "research on laws," most of which is even in a semi-public state.

You can buy it from the college's database as long as you're willing to spend the money.

The fundamental reason for this situation is that the nine great level nine wizards who stood at the pinnacle of wizarding civilization had all published their understanding and research insights on all the laws, from the shallow to the deep, for future generations to learn and refer to.

Even in such a superior, almost "cramming" educational environment, very few wizards are truly able to learn and study the laws independently on their own.

After all, some knowledge cannot be learned simply by having a textbook.

(The Laws of This World)
Therefore, wizards began to search for various auxiliary methods.

This includes keeping the soul and body in a state of extreme activity to greatly enhance one's learning ability.

Or... use a more direct and brutal method—find a way to make the wizard's soul directly "understand" the knowledge related to the laws!

The so-called "origin of the planes" is just this kind of thing.

"The origin of a plane" can be understood as the collection of all "information" from the birth to the destruction of a plane.

The various laws that arise in this plane are naturally recorded in their entirety.

The wizards' solution was for high-ranking wizards to forcibly extract these "plane origins" from a complete plane.

Then, using special techniques, it is directly injected into the souls of those low-level wizards!

The laws and information contained in the origins of those planes will naturally permeate and assimilate the wizard's soul.

This means that, theoretically, the wizard who was infused with the power had instantly grasped all the law information contained in the origin of those planes!
As long as the high-ranking wizards responsible for extraction are able to accurately select and extract the dimensional origins that contain information about the "single law".

Therefore, the wizard who is infused with this knowledge will naturally gain access to a vast amount of knowledge related to this law out of thin air!

In theory, as long as enough dimensional origins are used, it is entirely possible for a wizard who knows nothing about laws to master all the knowledge related to a complete, single law in an instant!

Of course, this kind of convenience, which is almost like "cheating," also has extremely large problems.

First and foremost, extracting the "original essence of a plane" will cause a certain degree of irreversible damage to that plane.

In theory, as long as the amount extracted is small enough, the damage to the plane itself can slowly recover over time.

However, as the number of wizards grew rapidly, their demand for "plane origins" also increased.

It is said that the "Primordial Plane" of the wizarding civilization, which has disappeared into the annals of history, was ultimately destroyed because its origin was excessively extracted.

The reason why wizards are so obsessed with conquering other planes is, aside from their desire for knowledge.

The primary goal is to obtain a new, healthy plane of existence in order to extract the "plane's origin" and nurture their offspring.

Moreover, the value of the "dimensional origin" is not limited to this.

Accessing the essence of a plane is something only a level six wizard can do, and to safely and accurately extract the "essence of a plane" from a plane, one must be at least a level seven wizard!

Moreover, this is a technical skill, and not every level seven wizard is good at it.

Therefore, Dean Avery Knight's meaning was all too clear at this moment—he could personally extract the "planeic origin" of the single law that Jemin and David needed most as a reward!
