The three underground floors of Wisteria Lane.

Ian stood before the Abyss Altar, his eyes calm.

"Let's dismantle it first, and rebuild it in a safe place after we break through."

He reached out his hand, his fingertips landing on the edge of the altar.

The spiritual energy transformed into countless pale golden threads, extending from the fingertips.

The fine threads, like living things, burrowed into the crevices of the altar, traveling in reverse along the veins of the runes inscribed inside.

The vortex at the heart of the altar began to ripple, like the surface of water rippled by the wind.

Ian's movements were slow and steady.

Each time a piece of void anchor was peeled off, it was carefully wrapped with mental energy to prevent all energy from leaking out.

Then carefully place it into the dimensional ring.

The altar began to disintegrate little by little, starting from the top layer.

Those complex runes faded the moment the Void Stone separated, turning into ordinary markings.

The central vortex collapsed and vanished with a pop when it was halfway through dismantling, and the resulting impact was blocked by the isolation magic array.

Half an hour later, only a few faint carving marks remained on the ground.

All the abyssal energy was completely sealed away, without a single trace leaking out.

Ian checked it three times to make sure it was correct.

He walked to the center of the laboratory and activated the isolation magic array in the corner.

hum!

A pale silver light curtain rose from the corner of the wall, rapidly expanding to envelop the entire third basement level.

The outermost layer isolates energy, the middle layer distorts and probes, and the innermost layer stabilizes space.

After doing all this, Ian sat down cross-legged, and Gaa jumped down from his shoulder and squatted next to his knees.

The little guy tilted his head back, his silver-gray pupils staring at his face.

"Ian..." it said softly, with worry in its voice.

Ian didn't speak, but a silver light began to flow deep within his pupils.

The scenes from the daytime replayed in my mind frame by frame.

"What if Soren had reacted even a fraction of a second slower today?"

He muttered to himself, his voice exceptionally clear in the silent laboratory.

A level one peak-level guardian, a level two late-stage burst-power magical artifact.

That's enough to deal with him when he's at "Level 2, Early Stage".

Fortunately, he remained cautious and never revealed his true abilities or trump cards.

Aside from Gaga, even Edel didn't know his current strength.

"But that's not enough, far from enough."

Ian took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly.

"Today was just a test, but what about next time? He's the direct grandson of the Morning Star Wizard, I can't just kill him directly..."

"But if I don't kill him, he'll keep bothering me."

"I must become stronger..." A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"So powerful... that even the Morning Star Wizard didn't dare to retaliate."

Gaga squatted down beside him, its little paws tugging at the hem of his clothes.

His silver heterochromatic eyes were also filled with murderous intent.

"Ian, let's secretly kill that Collins and then run away."

The little guy's voice was childish but very earnest.

"He shouldn't have gone far yet; we'll definitely catch up with him."

Ian looked down at Gaga and reached out to rub its little head.

"There's no need to take such a risk." He chuckled, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"Once I break through to level three, I'll have my own way of dealing with it."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the top of the laboratory.

There, the light barrier of the isolation magic array rippled slightly, like moonlight reflected on the water.

"It's time to take the final step."

The integration of witchcraft requires simulation and deduction within the mental sea.

If the deduction is successful, the physical body will be fully elementalized and can then be directly condensed...

Ian closed his eyes again, and deep within his mind, countless miniature stars slowly rotated.

At the core, three rings of star orbits floated quietly.

The innermost ring is silver-gray, representing gravity; the middle ring is light gold, representing purification; and the outermost ring is transparent, representing time.

The three orbits operate independently, yet subtly echo each other, like three planets revolving around the same core.

Ian "looked" at the three rings of star orbits and began to deduce the scenario according to his previous plan.

"The first step is to use the rules of gravity, which I am most familiar with, as the framework."

The rules of gravity are the most basic and the most fundamental.

It ensures the plasticity and growth potential of the true form.

With a slight thought, the silver-gray gravitational orbit in his mental sea began to spin faster.

The twelve black gravitational spheres on the star trail gradually elongate and twist as they rotate.

In the end... it transformed into twelve thin, long black threads.

The threads intertwined and coiled in the sea of ​​consciousness, outlining a blurry human skeleton.

Inside the skeleton, the "spacetime curvature" property of the [Gravity Collapse Sphere] is gradually incorporated.

Every inch of the skeleton begins to possess the ability to distort space, and can be compressed, expanded, and twisted at will.

It's like a lump of clay being kneaded by an invisible hand, but it's far more resilient than clay.

Ian's mind stirred again.

On the surface of the skeleton, fine silver patterns emerge, which are traces of the manifestation of the laws of gravity.

After an unknown amount of time, the entire surface of the skeleton was completely engraved.

The silver patterns flickered like breathing, and with each flicker, the surrounding space distorted slightly.

"After the skeleton is formed, the second step... is to use purification as the flesh and blood."

The purification rules are the core of combating the pollution of the abyss.

Ian's mind shifted.

Purifying power flowed out like a stream from the pale golden star trail in the center.

A pale golden light slowly seeped into the gravity skeleton.

The silver patterns on the surface of the skeleton began to turn pale gold, as if it were plated with a thin layer of gold.

The power of purification permeated every inch of the skeleton, merging and intertwining with the rules of gravity.

The entire process requires solidifying his unique power of celestial order into his elemental true form.

Every inch of its true form is marked with the imprint of the Order of the Stars.

This is also an elevation of the purification rules, an absolute restraint on the abyss.

Any abyssal energy that gets close will be automatically dissolved.

"I've been able to purify the abyss for a long time, could you...?"

Suddenly, Ian remembered his meditation method, the "Starry Night Ritual".

During his first meditation, his spirit merged with the void, and the [Abyss Soul Pact] resonated with a trace of the Abyss's will.

From then on, a long-term process of guiding and purifying the will of the abyss began.

"Now... I can do more and better."

With a slight thought, Ian activated the [Starry Sky Festival] slowly.

After a while, the silent [Abyss Soul Contract] trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar, faint "connection" spread from the soul contract, seemingly trying to link with some lofty being.

At the same time, he "saw" the abyssal wills that had been drawn in, black, viscous, and filled with chaos and madness.

The panel vibrates silently.

"Link or not?"

In the past, he would immediately clean the panel after connecting.

Now, he wants to try to take control.

"Anyway, I have the best firewall...give me the connection."

Within the [Abyss Soul Pact], there seems to be an invisible thread that pierced through the star array in the spiritual sea and plunged into the depths of the void.

Suddenly, from the other side of the silk thread came a cold, viscous stream of information carrying countless frantic whispers.

Ian was on edge, and the power of the Order of the Stars, under his mental control, transformed into a pale golden vortex.

At the same time, the panel was activated immediately, and another silver vortex appeared instantly.

Two vortexes, one gold and one silver, slowly rotated, gradually devouring the abyssal will they had drawn in.

He did not completely purify it, but separated a tiny wisp and sent it into the golden vortex.

Even this slight strain was extremely difficult for him to harness with his power of order and stars.

When the last drop of information disappeared from the other side, Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew! It's still a bit of a stretch."

Looking at the golden ball of light before him, Ian's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"This ability... will definitely come in very handy at crucial moments."

After processing the purification rules, the next step is the third step: integrating the time rules.

"The rules of time are the most mysterious and the most difficult to control."

Ian focused his attention on the outermost ring of transparent star trails, and the power of time spread out like a thin mist.

Transparent and colorless, yet it slows down everything around it.

The power of time is infused into the core of the true form, merging with the gravitational skeleton and the essence of purification.

With just a thought, you can accelerate your thinking and make your actions faster and more swift.

It can also slow down enemies, causing them to get stuck in a "slow motion" quagmire.

"Let's see how it goes?"

With a slight thought, the flow of time at the core of the true body suddenly accelerated three times.

Everything around you slowed down instantly.

Gaga squatted beside her, her blinking motion stretched into slow motion.

The arc of the wings as they were raised clearly showed the trembling of each feather.

Three seconds later, Ian decelerated, and everything returned to normal.

Gaga tilted its head, its silver heterochromatic eyes filled with confusion.

"Something seemed a little off just now?"

Ian pretended not to hear and continued to refine his true form.

"The final step is to integrate all the witchcraft."

Ian's mind swept over the magical models in his mental sea.

First is the [Frostbite Ray].

It can manifest in both ice and fire forms, or it can be combined into a complex pale purple spiral whip.

These witchcraft techniques haven't yet reached the point of touching the rules, but the speed of integration has clearly accelerated.

Ian integrated it into his true form's hands, with a pale purple spiral pattern appearing in each palm.

The lines extend, transforming into a long, barely visible whip.

The whip can split into two forms, ice and fire, or it can remain spiral-shaped.

Next, the special effect "Entropy Change Domain" merged into the star trails, transforming into a halo around the true form.

Any enemy enveloped by the aura will be attacked by both ice and fire simultaneously, and the energy structure will become unbalanced at an accelerated rate.

"Next up is the recently unlocked [Furnace Body Refinement Technique], and the new special effect 'Furnace'."

Ian incorporated it into his real skin.

On the surface of the true form, fine, blood-red patterns appeared.

The patterns flickered and shimmered like breathing, each flicker exuding a terrifying, devouring quality.

When the "Furnace" effect is activated, it can dissolve and absorb the opponent's sorcery attacks.

"Hmm, the real body is still missing a piece of clothing."

With a slight thought, a layer of transparent crystal wall covered the surface of the true form.

Three hundred and sixty-five floating crystal guardians adorn the crystal wall like diamonds.

It can be reorganized, dispersed, and attacked at any time, just like a living suit of armor.

The final core meditation technique, the "Starry Night Ritual," was transformed by Ian into his true form's brain.

Inside the true form's head, a miniature star map appeared.

The star chart slowly rotated, guiding the power of the stars in the void to provide a continuous source of energy for the true form.

With this, all the witchcraft was successfully integrated.

Ian slowly opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils, silver, gold, and transparent light swirled.

He raised his right hand, and the pale purple spiral pattern on his palm lit up.

A long whip, barely visible, extends from the palm of the hand.

The surface of the whip is interwoven with ice and fire colors, exuding an aura of extreme cold and extreme heat.

With a slight thought, the whip vanished, and a pale purple halo appeared around him.

Within the area covered by the halo, energy particles in the air began to dissipate at an accelerated rate, as if being drawn away by an invisible hand.

With another movement, the transparent crystalline outer layer appeared.

Three hundred and sixty-five floating crystal satellites, like diamonds, shimmered slightly.

On the surface of the true form's skin, the furnace patterns flickered, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted.

Inside the skull, the star map rotated, drawing in the power of the void stars and infusing it into the true body.

Within the spiritual sea, three concentric star orbits encircle the true body, their gravity distorting space and purifying and dissolving the abyss.

The difference in the flow of time makes the real body seem to be in another dimension.

Ian looked at his hands, his heart filled with excitement.

Although the true form cannot be manifested yet, the fusion is complete, and it is only waiting for the physical body to complete its elementalization.

An elemental true form that is extremely restrained by the abyss and can switch between reality and illusion.

"How about calling it... the Divine Body of Order?"

He uttered the name silently.

This is the... Level 3 True Form he prepared for himself.

With a slight thought, Ian's true form dissipated, transforming back into three star orbits and returning to his spiritual sea.

"Phew... It actually took three days to fuse with the divine body."

He stood up and walked to the map in the corner of the laboratory.

The map was spread out on the stone platform.

The city of East is located in the center, surrounded by mountains, rivers, and wilderness.

Ian's finger moved slowly, finally landing on a deserted valley eight thousand miles from the edge of East City.

The map is marked "**Rift Valley", with a small note next to it: Energy disorder, rarely visited by humans.

"That place... is perfect for my breakthrough."

Ian muttered to himself.

"Breaking through to level three and bringing down the world's will would be too much of a commotion and would alert everyone."

He needs a place that is absolutely quiet and completely private.

This unnamed rift valley meets all the criteria.

Energy disturbance, natural shielding from detection, sparse human presence, and undisturbed.

The distance is far enough that even if there is any movement, it won't reach East City.

Ian turned around and began packing, taking all the potions with him.

[Balance Water], [Earth Tyrant Elixir], [Purification Potion]...

There were also some spare materials, all of which were stored in the dimensional ring without missing a single one.

Double-check the laboratory to make sure nothing is missed.

Finally, a message was left for Adele in the arcane mark.

He looked at Gaga, who was on guard outside the witch formation, and said, "Let's go on a long trip."

A shadowy figure darted across and landed on Ian's shoulder, its silver heterochromatic eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Ian, are we going on another adventure?"

The little guy's voice leaped with excitement, "Are we going to kill Collins?"

Ian rubbed its head, his eyes showing helplessness.

"Not now. I'll settle the score with him when I become stronger."

"So, are we coming back?"

"Of course, I'll be back soon."

A person and a bird walked out of the third underground level and came to the ground floor.

Ian pushed open the door; the night outside was deep.

The wind blew in from the depths of the alley, carrying a damp chill.

He glanced back at No. 7 Wisteria Lane, then silently activated his invisibility spell.

The figure gradually faded into the night, and the phase shuttle was activated.

With one step, his figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he was on a small hillside outside the city.

The night wind howled, and the shadows of the trees, varying in height, danced wildly in the wind.

Ian did not linger; the phase artifact continued to flash faintly.

The figure flickered in the night, each flicker covering dozens of miles, speeding towards the nameless rift valley.

The quack perched on his shoulder, its wings folded tightly.

The night scene was rapidly receding in her small eyes.

Excitement, anticipation, and a barely perceptible hint of nervousness welled up within me.

It knew that this departure, and its return...

Everything will be different.
