Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Lynn listened quietly, his mind racing with analysis.

He still has many things to finish.

Record and analyze all the knowledge in the second layer of the "Hidden Bones Treasury", create a meditation method that best suits you, organize and strengthen your own army of the undead, improve the witchcraft and combat system, and so on.

There's also the matter of disposing of the massive resources within the "dimensional space," converting all one's "battle merits" and "contribution points" into resources or strength...

Of the several options offered by my mentor, the safest and most secure was to become a "researcher" at the academy. It was a simple and easy job, perfect for coasting along.

But... I can't just think about safety and ease.

The most important task in my training after this is to analyze as many Stigmata as possible before advancing to the Stigmata Wizard level, laying the foundation for the "Path of All Things".

Upon promotion to a full-fledged wizard, the number of job slots for the [Analysis] ability will expand to thirty.

However, there are only seven main bodies and twelve secondary bodies, totaling nineteen stigmata, above the Eternal Night Graveyard.

These stigmata are indeed the essence of the Bone Spire system, enough for wizards in the academy to observe and learn throughout their lives, but for Lynn, who aspires to "all things," they are far from sufficient.

Nineteen stigmata mean that eleven workstations will be vacant.

This is a huge waste and will affect the time it takes for me to advance to "Stigmata" in the future.

More importantly, these nineteen holy marks are all manifestations of the rules of the "Scars of Truth" of the Holy Mark Wizards such as the Tower Master and Deputy Tower Master, and they have owners.

Lynn's previous analysis of the surface ripples was acceptable, but if he were to delve deeper into the core rules, it would very likely alarm the owner of the mark.

It's hard to predict what will happen then.

"Mentor," Lynn asked.

"If I choose the garrison mission and go to the main world... are there enough Stigmata there? And... are they all unclaimed?"

Gregor glanced at him, seemingly understanding his intention: "The main universe is one of the cornerstones of the multiverse, with the most perfect and stable rules."

"The traces of truth that have evolved naturally there are extremely comprehensive, and the vast majority of them are 'manifestations of the origin of the world,' belonging to things that are ownerless."

He paused, then added:

"The downside is that the concentration of negative energy in the main world is far less than that in the Eternal Night Graveyard, which will somewhat inhibit the growth of you and your undead army."

"Moreover, the rewards for garrison missions... are indeed not high, basically just a fixed amount of magic stones plus a small amount of resource bonuses."

Lynn nodded, then asked, "If we participate in wars and invade other planes... do those worlds also have something similar to the Holy Mark?"

Gregor smiled, a smile that carried the weariness of someone who had witnessed the vastness of the world: "The world is full of wonders."

"The rules of each world manifest in ways that are completely different from our own."

Some condensed into 'World Runes,' some merged into mountains and rivers to become 'Earth Vein Spirits,' and some were called 'Heavenly Way,' 'Law,' or 'Origin' by the indigenous people...

"In some worlds, the rules are seized by so-called 'gods' and refined into 'godhood'."

He tapped the table: "According to records, the strongest beings in some small worlds can even integrate the core rules of the entire world into themselves, reaching a state similar to 'body becoming rules'."

"Of course, those are just the rules of a small world, and their strength is limited. Some 'world masters' may seem to have boundless power, but if they were really brought to the wizarding world, they might not even be able to defeat a senior Saint Mark wizard."

Lynn was deeply shaken, and his thoughts flew together like lightning.

The Way of Heaven?

Is this the Heavenly Dao that I know?

A world of cultivation? Or... the primordial world?

Hmm... I guess it's just a small world for cultivating immortality.

If it were truly the primordial era, then this wizarding world would probably have become one of the worlds under that primordial era long ago!

It is important to know that the primordial world in mythology, besides the main world, also includes three thousand great worlds.

Each great chiliocosm contains three thousand medium chiliocosms. (A total of nine million medium chiliocosms)

Each middle chiliocosm contains three thousand smaller chiliocosms (a total of 27 billion smaller chiliocosms).

As for the countless microcosms, they are even more numerous.

Although the Endless Abyss is called endless, it only has more than a thousand layers now, which is far inferior to the Primordial World.

The hierarchy of the primordial world is not something that this wizarding world or the abyss can challenge.

That guy... all those holy marks, true spirits, demon kings, and will of the abyss are nothing compared to a saint.

However... there's no need to worry about not having "Stigmata" analysis in other worlds.

Every world has similar manifestations of rules called "Traces of Truth," only their forms and names differ.

Isn't the "Primordial Heavenly Dao" in the myths of the past essentially a kind of "World Sacred Mark" that is so vast as to be unbelievable?

And that "Hongjun Laozu" who was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao...

If this were truly the world of wizards, he would probably be a "super invincible supreme holy ancestor-level true spirit wizard" who controls "all things".

Hmm... after all, how many years has the entire wizarding world existed? And how many eons has the Grandmaster Hongjun cultivated?

There is no comparison at all.

"I understand." Lynn took a deep breath and made her decision.

"Mentor, I choose to go to the main world first and serve as a resident wizard. Once I have perfected my skills, I will consider other options."

Gregor was somewhat surprised:

"Have you thought it through? There's not much guarantee for the garrison mission; if something unexpected happens, the academy might not be able to provide timely assistance."

"If you really want to focus on development and research, you can continue to stay at the academy as a researcher."

"I've made up my mind." Lynn's eyes were clear. "I want to see what the wizarding world is really like."

"I need time to reflect, refine my methods, and enhance the strength of my legion."

"More importantly—if I want to achieve the [All Things] Stigmata, I can't stay in the academy; I must go to the main world to observe the true [Stigmata of Truth]!"

Looking at Lynn's resolute attitude, Gregor seemed to see a reflection of his younger self.

The same high spirits, the same arrogance...

Unfortunately, I was defeated by reality. I hope this kid can succeed and achieve the true path of "all things".

Gregor did not stop him; he also hoped that his own "all-encompassing" path could blossom in Lynn.

Just like the "death bloom" that I have persisted in for over a hundred years, it is as magnificent and colorful.

"Now that you've completed your apprenticeship, you'll have to walk your own path from here on out. I won't interfere with your choices."

"But...you'd better live on, kid. I look forward to the day you become a true spirit, if I can still see that day..."

Lynn paused, then spoke firmly:

"Don't worry, mentor. You know my personality. I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do."

"Once I complete a garrison mission and have developed my strength to a sufficient level, and have enough means to protect myself, I will participate in war missions to plunder the special rules and resources of other planes. That way, I will achieve [Holy Marks] more efficiently."

Plundering is always the fastest way to collect resources, and Lynn hopes to snowball his strength through war.

Most importantly—he also wanted to test his Star Demise Domination Heart in another world and see what kind of undead calamity it would unleash...
