Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Leaving aside the impact of Luo Kunlun's divine manifestation, the hopes of the remaining nations of the Southern Continent were completely shattered after the Silver Blood was destroyed.

The army, already demoralized by Luo Kunlun's previous power, crumbled completely. Many even took their confidants and wealth and set sail for foreign lands overnight.

In September of the nineteenth year, after a brief respite, the Tree of Order launched its final offensive against the remaining southern nations.

This time, there was no suspense whatsoever.

The once high-ranking kings and nobles either committed suicide when the city fell or were hanged, paying the price for their past sins.

Thus, the entire continent of Volo came under the banner of the Tree of Order.

High in the sky, Luo Kunlun looked down upon this vast and boundless land.

The roots of the Split Tree have long since spread like a spider web to every corner of the continent, connecting countless towns and villages into a whole.

This is a brand new land, which, under his design, will embark on a path completely different from the wizarding world.

It's not about a single extraordinary path, but about relying on technological innovation to develop the continent's hidden resources and truly make this land prosperous.

Factory chimneys will rise everywhere, railways will connect east, west, north, and south, and knowledge will no longer be monopolized by a few, but will be available to every ordinary person.

And Luo Kunlun could also extract what he needed most from this prosperity: the power of the souls of the deceased.

There is no reincarnation in this world. When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. If no one collects the scattered souls, they will completely disappear in time.

Luo Kunlun's Soul Gathering Witch Array is designed to effectively recycle and utilize these rare energy resources.

However, for Luo Kunlun, who has now broken through to the second ring, the improvement of his spiritual power by these mortal souls is negligible.

The root cause lies in the low quality of the soul.

Even the soul of a formal wizard is just a drop in the ocean for him, better than nothing.

If it weren't for the sheer number of them, which compensates for the lack of quality with quantity, Luo Kunlun would have even suspected that the path of devouring souls had reached its limit.

At this rate, he'll probably be stuck at the Second Ring Road level for quite some time.

That's normal.

According to Dores's memory, it took him seventy-eight years to become a first-ring wizard, and another two hundred and thirty-seven years to barely open the door to the second ring.

After that, he stayed in the Second Ring for 985 years before he honed his spiritual power to the peak of the Second Ring.

That was during a golden age when resources were far more abundant than they are now. Now, with the extraordinary environment deteriorating and resources monopolized by various forces, the possibility of another peak-level second-ring cultivator emerging is virtually zero.

Unfortunately, due to environmental limitations, relying solely on meditation is inefficient.

Second-circle wizards have very long lifespans, which is the reason for the spiritual body's transformation once again. Even with the wear and tear of time, they can hardly leave many traces.

But they are helpless in the face of such a snail's pace of growth.

To achieve a breakthrough, relying solely on arduous practice is a pipe dream; external assistance is necessary.

Special magical arrays, spirit-refining potions, ancient bloodlines, special energies or techniques...

Anything that can unlock the limits of mental power is worth trying.

These things are all rare treasures in the world, most of which are non-renewable or have a regeneration cycle that is so long that it is despairing.

This is the predicament faced by all native second-circle wizards since the departure of the ancient invaders.

Where there is difficulty, there is a way to overcome it.

Luo Kunlun has a Soul-Gathering Witch Array, which can absorb the soul power of the deceased to increase spiritual power, which is a pretty good method.

Besides, there might be similar routes in other parts of the Second Ring Road.

For example, other worlds.

Having a world with a relatively high energy level means the probability of finding something useful within it is definitely not low.

At the same time, there are also extraordinary local forces.

Regardless of the form in which it is presented, wizards can always find something useful to them.

Allowing different power systems to collide and merge may produce some unexpected benefits.

This is also one approach.

Unfortunately, Luo Kunlun did not have a spatial passage leading to a world with a high energy level.

Those four major powers may exist, but that's their fundamental interest.

If Luo Kunlun wants it, he has to spend time waiting and searching for it himself.

Fortunately, Luo Kunlun possesses the Soul Gathering Witch Array, a unique trump card that is difficult for others to replicate.

The entire continent of Volo covers an area of ​​7.2 million square kilometers and has a population of over 100 million.

But this is by no means the limit.

As long as he passes on advanced technology and systems, the population will experience explosive growth within one or two generations. At that time, the number of souls that can be collected daily will also increase accordingly.

Quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change.

Moreover, the wizarding world is vast. In addition to the Wizarding Continent and the Southern Continent, there are seven other overseas continents like Volor.

Not to mention the distant lands, there is the continent of El.

As long as he continues to expand and spread the network of the Soul Gathering Witch Array to more distant lands, the soul power he can control will accumulate like a snowball.

If the quality is lacking, then make up for it with quantity!

"Let's set a small goal first." With that in mind, Luo Kunlun began to plan, "In five-year periods, we will advance this continent of Volo, which is still in a backward agricultural society, into an era with a preliminary industrial base."

The draft ten-year development plan was directly delivered to Charlie and the newly formed administration. The plan clearly outlined the knowledge base, development roadmap, and implementation strategies...

In addition, there were orders to organize manpower to excavate and collect all the extraordinary relics on the continent.

This is not a problem for the Tree of Order now.

Just as the officials in the administrative department received the blueprint, a faint but peculiar mental fluctuation traveled along the roots of the split tree and entered Luo Kunlun's senses.

This information comes from the Thorn Islands.

Luo Kunlun raised an eyebrow and connected the information to his mental space.

The message was brief: "Reporting to my lord, someone in the waters near the archipelago wishes to visit, and also..."

"Have you already met the standards for becoming a full-fledged wizard? That's pretty fast."

In just three or four years, Rhine, who stayed behind on the islands, had reached the peak of his apprenticeship.

She already had the spiritual water and the magic model given to her by Luo Kunlun, so she had all three elements required for advancement.

That said, Luo Kunlun has spent most of the past few years on the Volo Continent and hasn't returned to the archipelago very often.

Perfect timing! Now that we have the entire continent of Volo under our control, the number of talented individuals of the right age on the entire continent is not small, which can greatly increase the number of apprentices on the archipelago.

However, with the increased number of items, the original framework also needs to be changed accordingly.

Besides that, there are those who come to visit.

There is a connection between the continent of Volo and the archipelago, but this connection is not very strong.

Upon careful observation and reflection, one can discover that the archipelago and that mysterious, newly established second ring road have a close relationship.

In this way, it's not surprising that someone would take the initiative to come to you.

Lost in thought, Lo Kunlun headed towards the archipelago.

They made very little noise along the way.

Because this is different from previous demonstrations.
