Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Looking at the small patch of muddy land, barely ten square meters in size, Lynn felt much more at ease.

Although the area is small, it is like a seed; under the evolution of rules, it will always grow bigger and more perfect.

Moreover, this is only a part of the rules of a small world.

As long as one continues to invade the world and devour its rules, the speed of evolution will become faster and faster.

Having learned from his success, Lynn followed the same approach and extended a second chain—water.

A pale blue band of light emerged from his palm, drifted into space, floated above the soil, and condensed there.

The chains twisted in the air, slowly dissipating and turning into a cloud of mist.

The fog grew thicker and thicker, condensing into water droplets. The droplets gathered together, forming a small puddle that floated in mid-air.

Lynn used his mental power to guide the puddle, causing it to fall next to the mud.

The water droplets landed on the ground, seeped into the soil, and formed small puddles.

He squatted down and reached his hand into the puddle.

It was cool, wet, and real water.

The third chain—temperature.

A dark red band of light drifted into the space.

He let it adhere to the soil, slowly releasing its energy.

The soil was slightly warm, emitting a wisp of steam, and the water in the puddle was heated, evaporating into mist.

A warm and welcoming environment has emerged.

Lynn became more and more excited as she tried, as if she were playing a little game of creating a world.

The fourth chain—nature.

The fifth chain—the wind.

The sixth chain—light.

...

Each chain integrated into the space makes that little world more real and its area seem to grow larger.

The area of ​​the mud expanded, the puddle turned into a small pond, the air began to flow, and light refracted into faint shadows in the space.

Problems arose when the fifteenth chain was joined.

Lynn felt a wave of dizziness.

He suddenly opened his eyes and found himself covered in sweat, his energy almost completely drained, and his mental strength mostly depleted.

He looked down at his hands; the chains were still inside his body, but they had clearly faded considerably.

"The energy expenditure is too high..."

His experiments with those two hourglasses consumed more energy than a major battle.

The manifestation of the guiding rules chain requires the simultaneous consumption of mental energy, one's own magical power, and physical strength.

Each chain that integrates into space and forms "matter" is not created out of thin air; it requires energy from it.

Moreover, although those chains were integrated into the space, they were not completely stable.

They are still fluctuating slowly and require a continuous supply of energy to maintain.

Once he stops supplying energy, the soil, water, and air will slowly dissipate.

Was all that effort wasted?

No, it won't be in vain.

Lynn sat on the wooden chair, took a few breaths, and then began to think.

Transforming a world is not simply a matter of throwing rules into it.

Those rules require energy support, a complete system, and a balance between them.

He currently only has thirty rules, all of which come from the same inferior world, making them weak and unsystematic.

Soil needs water, water needs temperature, and temperature needs light and wind...

These rules must work together to form a stable cycle.

If any link is missing, the entire system will collapse.

More importantly, space itself needs a "world heart," a core rule to govern all other rules.

Just like the trace of truth in the main world, just like the world will of the world of Aila.

Without that core, the rules are just a mess, and could fall apart at any time.

Lynn leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

Although this experiment failed temporarily, it at least proved that there is a path that can be taken.

The chains of rules can be integrated into space, can be materialized into real matter, and can become the foundation of the world.

It just needs more rules, more energy, and a more complete design.

"After conquering a few more worlds..."

He muttered to himself.

As long as he accumulates enough rules, one day he will be able to transform that undead space into a real world.

A myriad of phenomena that belong to him, where all things converge.

After completing the two experiments, Lynn felt much more at ease.

Having confirmed the rule that it was permissible to plunder other worlds, Lynn's enthusiasm for the war missions surged instantly.

A rule is a force.

After the thirty rules are integrated into the body, the physical body will be greatly improved, and there is even a chance to create a small world inside the body.

What if there are thirty more? A hundred? Three hundred?

What would it look like if all three thousand lines were completely filled?

Lynn sat in the laboratory, opened the communication tablet, brought up the war mission panel, and scrolled down one by one.

Mission 1: Reinforcements for the Seventh War Zone in the Bone-Eating Starfield

Status: In progress, urgently needs combat power of level 3 or above.

Details: The Abyss Demons have recently made significant moves, increasing pressure on the front lines and necessitating the replenishment of combat power.

Risk level: Extremely high

...

Lynn swiped past it.

Mission Two: Radiant Battlefield - Holy Light Dimension Strategy

Status: Recruiting, requires level 3 or above, necromancers should apply with caution.

Details: The allied forces have breached the outer perimeter of the Holy Light Plane and need to clear out the remaining resistance forces in the rear.

Risk level: High

...

Mission 3: Investigation of Small World X-882

Status: Pending investigation, available for acceptance

Details: The academy received an unknown signal, initially identified as originating from a small world inhabited by life. No in-depth investigation has been conducted; the world barrier strength is estimated to be mid-to-peak of the third ring. Mission Objective: Infiltrate and investigate the world's details, assess its value, and attempt to conquer it if conditions permit.

Risk level: Unknown (under estimation)

Note: There is no direct teleportation array to this world. You must first teleport to the conquered world X-779, and then travel across the void to reach it. The distance is approximately 30 million miles, and the void path is relatively stable.

...

Lynn's gaze lingered on the task.

Unexplored, unknown, risks unknown.

This kind of mission is the most dangerous because you know nothing about it.

But it is also the most valuable.

No one knows what's going on there. If he can be the first to go in and directly seize the rules, then all those rules will be his.

He continued scrolling down.

Task 4: Resource Gathering in the Lava Plane

Status: Open indefinitely

Details: The plane has been conquered; resources such as lava cores need to be collected periodically.

Risk level: Low

...

Mission 5: Exploring the Void Rift

Status: Recruiting

Details: A newly discovered void rift, suspected to lead to an unknown dimension, requires a team to explore.

Risk level: High

...

After flipping to the last page, Lynn placed the communication tablet on the table and pondered for a while.

Those major missions that are currently being tackled are either already halfway through, so if he goes in, he can only get the scraps; he can't openly plunder the rules.

Either the intensity is too high, or his resources are insufficient.

Those low-risk collection missions are safe, but they've been pretty much developed by the academy, so the benefits are limited.

Only this world, X-882, is a true "pioneer".

Because it is unknown, there is opportunity.

There is less risk, therefore less competition.
