Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Outside the world barrier, Lynn stood outside the barrier and, through the translucent light membrane, suddenly saw the scene inside the world changing.

Those rays of light converged from all parts of the continent to a single point, and then spread from that point to the boundaries of the entire world.

He sensed the gathering power, a power that was vast and stable, like a mountain rising slowly, heavily, and unstoppably.

The world is constantly trembling and expanding, and the world's barriers are also constantly expanding.

Like... a balloon being blown up bigger and bigger.

Lynn involuntarily took a few steps back. The Chaos Dragon spread its wings behind him, the scales at the edges of the wings slightly raised, and its voice was deep:

"I've seen this before. The world is transforming; its will is concentrating all its power to break through its bottlenecks."

Lynn's heart skipped a beat. A medium-sized world breaking through to a large-scale world? Did that mean he had a chance to obtain a large-scale world?!

He asked the chaotic dragon, "Is it possible to successfully break through?"

After observing for a while, the Chaos Dragon confirmed, "Yes, this world has reached its limit, so breaking through is only natural."

Lynn stood in the void, looking at the world barrier that was growing larger and even developing holes.

Through the gaps in the world barrier, one can see that there is another alchemical array inside, specifically designed to protect the world.

This alchemical array is also quite complex, far more intricate than the hidden alchemical array surrounding the barrier.

Watching the light flow, converge, and rise within the world, Lynn pondered for a long time before making a decision.

Let's observe the situation first, and once the world's transformation is complete and it becomes a large world, we can then decide how to conquer it.

A large world can significantly enhance one's abilities.

But... the indigenous people inside might be difficult to deal with.

On the third day of the world's expansion, cracks began to appear in the alchemical array inside the world barrier that was used for protection.

The first to encounter problems was the third array eye on the north side.

It was an energy node embedded in the void, fixed in the spatial folds by a set of complex runes. Normally, it only required a very small amount of world power to maintain its operation, but when the world expanded, the stretching it endured far exceeded its design limits.

The crack split open from the edge of the rune, first as thin as a hair, then as wide as a finger.

The disguise began to fail, and the covered void changed from complete black to a slightly lighter gray, like a piece of glass with dust wiped off, revealing the outline of the expanding world behind it.

The Chaos Dragon was the first to sense the crack; it turned its head slightly and glanced in that direction with its golden pupils.

Then it let out a low, short hiss, a sound that traveled through the void and reached Lynn's consciousness, with only one meaning: there was a way to get in!

Lynn's eyes suddenly lit up.

We can get in? Of course we can! This is a rare opportunity, let's go in and take a look first!

This world advancement may be my only chance to conquer this world; if I miss it, I'll truly miss it.

With his own strength, plus his six Saint Mark level underlings, there's nothing to be afraid of unless it's a Saint Mark peak or even a True Spirit!

Strength brings confidence!

Without hesitation, Lynn patted the side of the Chaos Dragon's neck, a spot where the dragon could more easily receive clear commands than from the top of its head.

The Chaos Dragon's body began to turn in the void, its wings slightly adjusted, and the airflow formed a fine ripple around it.

Lynn's analysis first revealed the weaknesses in the world barrier caused by its expansion.

It took the chaotic dragon a burst of chaotic dragon breath, burning half an hourglass, to burn a hole in the world barrier there.

After entering the barrier, it flew towards the crack in the alchemical array, its speed not slowing down but actually increasing.

The crack widened as it approached, splitting from a finger-width gap into a chasm as wide as a person.

From the crack, one can see the surging grayish-white light and the ever-expanding outline of the continent.

The tentacles of the world's will emerged from the edge of the crack, like countless thin gray threads, attempting to sew the crack back together.

The threads were moving very fast, but the Chaos Dragon was moving even faster.

It folded its wings when it was less than 100 meters from the crack, and its body shot through the closing gap like an arrow.

The gray threads brushed against its scales, leaving a few shallow white marks.

Lynn lowered his body and reached out his right hand from the dragon's back. A thin, grayish-white light shot out from his fingertip, severing the nearest few threads, which then retracted.

The moment Lynn passed through the crack, he felt an unfamiliar weight pressing down on his body.

That weight was invisible and intangible, like being submerged in water, requiring more effort than usual to complete each movement.

Even their control over the rules and the manipulation of various witchcraft and elements were greatly suppressed.

Their own strength was partially suppressed.

That was the suppression of the world's will, the will of a large world rejecting outsiders, trying to push them out or crush them.

The Chaos Dragon also sensed it; its flight speed decreased slightly. The frequency of its wing flapping remained the same, but each flap required greater force to maintain its original altitude.

Lynn was prepared and did not panic.

Previously, when they invaded those smaller worlds, the world's will suppressed them, but never this severely.

After all, it is a large or medium-sized world will, and it is indeed remarkable.

If the Origin Realm back then also had a world will, I probably wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily.

Lynn kept the Chaos Dragon at its current altitude and circled it once above the Alchemy World.

Looking down from the air, the outline of this world's continent was already larger than he had seen from the outside, and its edges were slowly extending outward, like a piece of animal hide being stretched.

Ridges are rising, rivers are changing course, and forests are spreading across the newly reclaimed land.

The world is still shaking, the tremors coming from underground, the entire space is constantly trembling.

Even the Chaos Dragon and Lynn on its back could feel the tremor.

As the world continues to expand, it also brings some natural disasters to the world's "indigenous peoples".

When the mountain range rose, it crushed the village at its foot, burying houses with rubble and trapping those who couldn't escape under the ruins.

The river changed course, destroying fields on both banks and settlements in low-lying areas. The floodwaters, carrying mud and sand, swept over crops and submerged livestock sheds.

The ground cracked open, and some livestock got stuck inside, while others were crushed by the closing crack.

The tide along the coast suddenly receded and then surged back, sweeping away some people who were picking up seafood on the mudflats.

Large swathes of trees at the edge of the forest have fallen, their roots and soil exposed above the ground.

The seabirds flew away in flocks, no longer returning to the original reef.

The entire continent was trembling, cracks and debris were everywhere, and casualties were happening everywhere.

This is a necessary "growing pain" during the world's advancement.
