Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 485 Uncontrollable Memories

The great wizard Sura placed his palm on the Worldstone and infused it with his emotions. Even wizards specializing in ghostly arts knew that splitting one's soul was extremely dangerous; one wrong move and one could drive oneself insane.

Therefore, he could not split his soul and stuff it into the World Stone. The act of splitting himself was dangerous enough, but forcibly stuffing his soul into the World Stone would be another extremely dangerous thing.

Therefore, the correct approach is to insert oneself—as an extension of the soul—into the Stone of the World, and use these emotional fragments to create a branch of one's own soul.

Grand Wizard Sura had practiced this step countless times in private.

His numerous emotional fragments, along with some memory fragments, surged into the Worldstone, causing the entire Mage Plane to tremble. Earthquakes occurred in some places, tornadoes appeared in others, tsunamis struck in still others, and panic gripped some regions.

As Grand Wizard Sura channeled his emotions into the Worldstone, corresponding changes occurred within the core of this plane, affecting the Mage Plane.

This process is actually extremely dangerous, like trying to fit one's thoughts into the core of another dimension.

No one can really say what will happen during the whole process.

That's why advancing to the second ring is so difficult.

As the emotions of the Great Wizard Sura entered the Worldstone, a large number of wandering spirits converged and formed special beings that appeared in this world. These beings were neither life nor non-life, with human-like appearances, long arms and legs, no heads, an average height of 2 meters, and bodies that were some kind of shadow, wandering meaninglessly in this world.

At the same time, the great wizard Sura was showing a slight joy. The next moment, his expression changed slightly, because a fragment of memory fell into the Worldstone along with his emotions.

That fragment of memory was of him holding Yuriel's article and going to publish it in the journal "Yunze". Along with this fragment of memory came his jealousy and unbearable emotions.

Grand Wizard Sura was suddenly startled. 'This is bad! I must control my emotions. What I need to corrupt the Worldstone with are my positive emotions, only then can I create normal, powerful magic.'

'If too much negative emotion is allowed to flow into it, it could potentially create a distorted form of magic, or even make things worse.'

'I need to control my emotions.' The great wizard Sura hurriedly activated the techniques of advanced meditation, trying to suppress the most negative emotions flowing through his mind. However, the more he suppressed them, the more those negative emotions surged into his heart, appearing in his mind like forced memories, and then entering the Worldstone with his hands.

Outside the World Hall, a black lightning bolt, formed from the corruption of the Worldstone by the negative emotions of the Great Wizard Sura, ripped through the sky.

With a thunderous roar, black lightning struck the ground, and everything that touched it—soil, plants, trees, buildings, and even the natives of the mage plane—turned into a pool of black liquid.

The mages, who were standing outside the World Hall and didn't know what to do, were all stunned.

"What's going on? Will that demon god from outer space really destroy our world as he said?"

"Is Grand Mage Sura really that kind of person? I still can't believe it. Even if he's from another world, would he really do that?" "It's not a question of whether he would do it or not. You see, Jer Fisher only said that once the Demon God corrupts the core of our world's plane, it will eternally rule our plane. But he didn't say that our world would become like this after the Demon God enters the World Hall."

In the sky, every time a black liquid lightning bolt strikes, a corresponding substance turns into a black liquid.

Locke, through the True Sight Crystal, perceived that the black lightning was likely a self-destructive force born from the World Power, corrupted by the negative emotions of the Great Wizard Sura. Any creature or matter in that world that came into contact with this power would instantly disintegrate and turn into black water.

"Injecting negative emotions into the Worldstone can cause such a huge side effect," Locke pondered. "However, while ordinary meditation can help to control one's thoughts, advanced meditation can basically prevent any fluctuations in emotions."

"Strange."

"High Wizard Sura has mastered advanced meditation techniques. In theory, as long as he uses advanced meditation techniques, he can precisely control his emotions and prevent a large amount of unnecessary negative emotions from flowing into the World Stone."

Locke activated the image on the True Sight Crystal again to observe Sura's attempt to advance to the second ring.

In the scene, within the majestic Great Hall of the World, a figure appearing relatively small—the Grand Wizard Sura—revealed a look of astonishment. "Wait a minute, I know, it's the Dark Cave Scorpion Woman… there's a problem with the Dark Cave Scorpion Woman's bloodline."

The Great Wizard Sura's true form is currently undergoing constant bloodline recombination in order to construct a second-circle level magical creature bloodline.

The ultimate spell is the choice for all wizards to advance to the second circle, but the details of creating ultimate spells differ for wizards of different spell categories.

In the study of bloodlines, there are many magical creatures with bloodlines at the second ring level. However, their bodies are only at the first ring level and cannot have a second ring bloodline transplanted from the outside, as that would result in a backlash. But they can create a second ring bloodline through postnatal modification and combination, thereby further enhancing their physique and soul.

In other words, a second-circle bloodline wizard will simultaneously possess both a great magic spell and the blessing of a second-circle bloodline. Of course, the prerequisite for possessing a second-circle bloodline is still to have at least one great bloodline spell.

At this moment, the great wizard Sura immediately realized that this phenomenon was due to the inherent flaws in the design of his second-circle bloodline, the Dark Cave Scorpion Woman.

Therefore, he encountered a serious problem in the final step of completing the ultimate magic: corrupting the Worldstone.

'The Dark Cave Scorpion Woman triggers my negative thoughts. Normally, it wouldn't matter, but now, the Dark Cave Scorpion Woman's bloodline will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.' Grand Wizard Sura's forehead was covered in sweat, and he felt that he was in extreme danger.

Another fragment of memory from the Great Wizard Sura, wrapped in negative emotions, drifted toward the Worldstone. It was a memory of the Great Wizard Sura discussing the Dark Cave Scorpion Woman bloodline with Yuriel.

The design draft for the Dark Cave Scorpion Woman bloodline was conceived by the two of them together.

A chill ran down the spine of the great wizard Sula.

Did Yuriel foresee that things would turn out this way?
