Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

One day later, deep in the eastern wilderness.

The outline of the rift valley was faintly visible in the morning mist, like a scar on the earth.

The two rock walls are thousands of feet high, and the gray-black rock surface is covered with wind-eroded gullies.

The valley floor was quiet, with no birdsong or insect chirps; even the wind was whistled into thin threads by the mountain walls on both sides.

Ian sat cross-legged in the middle of the valley.

He had already smoothed the ground with witchcraft, carving out three concentric circles.

Each line flows with a dark silver luster, intertwining with each other to form a three-layered shielding magic array.

Gaga stood on a protruding rock, thirty meters away from the witch's formation.

It tucked its wings in and its silver heterochromatic eyes scanned its surroundings warily.

His left eye was fixed on the valley entrance, while his right eye was fixed on the sky.

The little claws gripped the edge of the rock tightly, the nails digging into the crevices.

"Ian..." it whispered, its voice very low.

"It's so quiet here."

"It's alright, just keep an eye on the perimeter for me. If anything seems amiss, immediately send a telepathic message."

"Received!" Gaga nodded its little head, its body gradually disappearing into the shadows.

Ian opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils, the phantom of three star orbits slowly rotated.

After a day of exploration and preparation, he confirmed that the surrounding area was quiet and there were very few extraordinary creatures of the second rank or above.

He took the jade box out of the ring and opened the lid.

A pale golden crystal lay at the bottom of the box, its surface shimmering with fine star-like patterns, like a sleeping star.

Let's begin!

He picked up the crystal, put it in his mouth, and the crystal turned into a cool liquid the moment it entered his mouth.

It slid down his throat and exploded silently.

Ian's body trembled slightly as energy spread to his limbs, torso, and head...

Every muscle, every bone, every blood vessel resonates with this energy.

Pale golden lines appeared on the skin's surface.

The lines spread along the direction of the muscles, like an extremely precise energy network.

Connect every part of the body into a whole.

A panel prompt appears at the edge of the field of view.

[Balance Water is in effect... Duration: 2:00:00]

Ian closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking completely into his mental sea.

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, three concentric star orbits float, and a miniature star map is spinning at an accelerated rate.

Hundreds of points of light moved along mysterious trajectories, like a miniature galaxy.

Ian's mind "stood" in the center of the star map, looking up at the void boundary above the sea of ​​consciousness.

That place leads to the void and is the passage to the origin of the stars.

"I hope everything goes well."

A silent whisper echoes in my consciousness.

With meditation fully activated, the array of stars in the mind's sea simultaneously lit up.

The light intertwined, transforming into a silver beam that pierced the sky.

The instant the beam of light touches the boundary.

hum!

The barrier of the spiritual sea silently cracked open, revealing an endless void beyond.

Ian's consciousness probed into the void along the beam of light.

Passing through layers of spatial folds, through distorted energy turbulence, and through the frigid vacuum zone.

Like a thin thread, stretching further and further into the darkness...

Suddenly, he sensed it.

In the distance, countless stars are calling out, faint yet crystal clear.

Like a lighthouse in the dark, it guides the way.

The call of one of the stars was the strongest.

Ancient, vast, and possessing a primal rhythm, it was the stellar origin suitable for him to guide.

Ian's consciousness slowly moved closer to that star.

Just as it was about to touch.

A dark purple light suddenly appeared deep within the void.

The light appeared without any warning.

Like a drop of ink falling into clear water, it spreads instantly.

"The will of the abyss? This feeling..."

It far surpassed the level five aura of the Burning Canyon; that mother entity was merely an Abyss Ruler.

The sight before him... Ian's consciousness suddenly froze, and his scalp tingled.

He "saw" it.

Deep within the dark purple light lies an indescribable "being".

It has no form, no boundaries... only pure "will".

Madness, chaos, carrying with it millions of years of antiquity and hunger.

"This...this is a true wisp of the will of the abyss."

Wandering in the deepest reaches of the void, it captures and corrupts the most elite predators of countless worlds.

He sensed Ian's presence.

To be precise, it sensed the aura of the [Abyss Soul Pact] in his spiritual sea.

Although the contract had long been purified into information seeds by the panel, that unique rule imprint remained.

Like a brand, etched into the deepest part of the soul.

The will of the abyss "looked" at Ian.

He has no eyes, but Ian felt that he was being "watched".

That gaze was filled with curiosity, with distortion, with a certain...amusement.

Then, it transformed into a stream of information and entered Ian's mental sea without warning.

"A wizard whose soul contains the [Abyssal Soul Pact], yet remains uncorrupted..."

The moment the will of the abyss entered.

The panel trembled violently deep within Ian's consciousness!

The tremors were so intense that they almost tore apart one's mental sea.

At the edge of vision, scarlet words cascaded down like a waterfall of blood.

[Intrusion detected by the Abyss's primal will...]

[Intrusion source level...* level...]

[Activate the highest level of purification process...]

A silver vortex suddenly formed in the center of the mind's sea.

The vortex spun at an extreme speed, its edges tearing through space and emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

At the same time, the dark purple abyssal will also moved.

Instead, it transforms into countless fine threads, silently seeping into every inch of the spiritual sea.

Each thread carries with it mad ramblings, distorted illusions, and chaotic information about rules.

Like countless needles, they pierced Ian's consciousness simultaneously.

"Merge...forever..."

"Join...become one..."

"The abyss... is the final destination..."

Countless sounds overlapped, intertwined, and distorted...

It doesn't enter through hearing, but explodes directly in the depths of the soul.

Ian's consciousness was instantly dragged into an endless abyss of illusion.

He "saw" himself standing in the middle of a black ocean.

The seawater was as thick as blood, and countless broken stars floated on its surface.

Inside the star, creatures struggle, scream, and melt...

They were once the civilizations of the world, the hope of each race.

Now, only the lingering echo of pain remains.

The voice of the will of the abyss surged from all directions.

"...This is my final destination..."

"Join...and you too will become one of them..."

"...to become eternal..."

Ian felt his consciousness melting.

Like a candle exposed to fire, it softens, deforms, and gradually loses its self-identity.

Two higher-dimensional beings used his spiritual sea as a battlefield, fighting, devouring, twisting, and purifying...

He watched all of this with trepidation, but was powerless to do anything about it...

The mind is constantly being torn apart and then reformed, and consciousness becomes hazy.

He's about to collapse.

Just as consciousness was about to completely succumb.

From his abdomen, the crystal of [Balance Water] that he had just ingested burst forth with dazzling golden light!

Light emanated from within, penetrating the skin and illuminating the entire spiritual sea.

It was like an anchor, firmly anchored deep within Ian's self-awareness.

"I am...I am Ian Marcus."

"I am a free wizard."

"I am not a slave to the abyss."

The brief thought repeated itself again and again in the light.

With each repetition, my consciousness becomes a little clearer.

Taking advantage of the situation, the panel intensified its efforts, and the speed of the silver vortex's rotation surged once again.

At the edge of the vortex, countless pale golden runes emerged.

Those runes are part of the deep structure of the panel, and they are never usually visible.

At this moment, in order to fight against this ancient will of the abyss, they were activated.

The runes extended like chains, entwining themselves with the seeping abyssal threads.

It's sizzling!

The piercing sound of corrosion exploded in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The abyssal threads struggled violently, like snakes branded with a hot iron.

But the runic chains tightened more and more, and at the core of the silver vortex, a point of pure white light shone.

The light was so pure that it was completely unadulterated.

His appearance represents "order" itself.

The moment the white light touched the threads of the abyss.

hiss! ! !

A deafening roar, beyond description, exploded in the mind's eye.

That wasn't a sound; it was a lament at the level of rules.

The dark purple threads retreated frantically, trying to escape.

But it was too late.

The white light surged up like a tide, completely engulfing and purifying the silk threads.

The "information structure" contained in the will of the abyss is forcibly stripped, recombined, and transformed into comprehensible knowledge.

The entire fight lasted only ten seconds before it ended.

But for Ian, it felt like an eternity, even longer than a decade.

Finally, the last wisp of dark purple light was completely purified by the white light, and the sea of ​​consciousness returned to calm.

The prompt on the panel reappeared.

Purification complete!

[Obtained Abyss Civilization Knowledge Fragment (Level *)]

[Integrating...]

Integration complete

Ian opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils, a silver light flashed intensely, accompanied by a tremor of relief after surviving a catastrophe.

He looked down at his hands; his palms were still slightly numb.

Just a moment ago...

If the [Water of Balance] bursts out half a second later, or if the rune chains on the panel are slightly weaker.

He is now a walking corpse assimilated by the abyss.

"This is... a true higher-dimensional existence..."

He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse.

But the lingering fear in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by burning excitement.

The higher-dimensional knowledge of the abyss gained through purification of the panel...

This allowed him to gain an unprecedented level of understanding of the Abyss Civilization.

This is not simply a record of a world being eroded.

Rather, it's the entire abyss's "rule framework," "evolutionary logic," and "hunting methods"...

Although it's just a fragment within a fragment, its value... is immeasurable!

"And also, the purified source of will... uh!"

Ian discovered that the abyssal essence purified by the panel was gone... gone.

"That's true, even I couldn't digest the very essence of this existence."

After this incident, Ian truly witnessed the power of the panel.

This is an existence that even the entire wizarding civilization fears immensely...

The intensity in his eyes was almost impossible to conceal.

"I knew it, you've never let me down!"

After the will of the abyss was purified, the passageway was reopened.

Ian meditated again, and his consciousness finally touched the ancient origin of the star.

hum!

A pure silver beam of light descended from the depths of the void.

It passed through the gaps in his spiritual sea and flowed into his body.

The moment the beam of light touched the skin, the flesh began to turn transparent.

It begins to transform from a "matter state" to an "energy state".

The limbs are the first to change.

The muscle fibers in the arms and legs gradually transformed into countless tiny silver specks.

The points of light flowed like stardust, connecting with each other to form new energy structures.

Next is the torso.

Chest cavity, abdominal cavity, spine... every inch of flesh and blood undergoes a transformation under the illumination of the silver beam.

The elementization progress is steadily improving under the monitoring of the panel.

10%、30%、50%、80%、100%。

The entire process lasted a full hour and went very smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

The pale golden energy net formed by the 【Balanced Water】always enveloped the entire body.

It acts like a precise bridge, allowing the energy of the stars' origin to flow smoothly to every part.

There was no difference in elemental density, no tearing stress; everything was proceeding in perfect balance.

When the last piece of flesh and blood has been transformed.

Ian opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils, there were no longer human pupils, but two swirling silver nebulae.

He raised his right hand, his palm transparent as crystal, with liquid starlight flowing inside.

Clench your fist gently, and your knuckles will resonate crisply, like stars colliding.

"This is... energy flesh and blood."

It is both an energy state and retains the texture and vitality of flesh and blood.

It can be deformed, dispersed, and recombined at will, just like energy.

It can also carry consciousness, perceive the world, and perform witchcraft, just like flesh and blood.

Level 3 wizard, physical elementalization complete.

"Now, it's time for the final step: to fuse the three rules and the five great spells."

With the strongest divine body of order, he completed the ultimate leap.

Ian closed his eyes again, and in his mental sea, the gravitational star orbit expanded first, with starlight spreading out of his body.

A silvery-gray light rose slowly, outlining the skeleton of a hundred-foot-tall phantom in the sky above the valley.

Each bone in the skeleton is made up of pure gravitational laws.

The surface is covered with patterns of spacetime curvature, which can be twisted, compressed, and expanded at will.

Purifying the star trails followed closely behind.

Pale golden energy flowed into the skeleton like water, filling every gap and transforming into "flesh and blood".

Within the flesh and blood, the imprint of the stars of order is etched.

……

Three hours later.

Above the valley, Ian transformed into a hundred-foot-tall figure, hovering in mid-air.

His body seemed to be composed of countless silver stars, each of which was slowly rotating.

Facial contours appeared blurred under the halo of the [Entropy Increase Domain].

All that could be seen were two rotating nebula pupils.

He held a pale purple whip in both hands, and the spiral patterns of ice and fire moved as if they were alive.

Clad in a crystalline cloak, it is surrounded by 365 crystal satellites, resembling a miniature galaxy.

On the surface of the skin, the crimson furnace patterns flickered, emanating a terrifying devouring property, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted.

Three concentric star orbits encircle the divine body.

Gravity warps space, purifies and dissolves the abyss, and the difference in the flow of time makes the divine body seem to be in another dimension.

With a slight thought, Ian slowly raised his right hand, his palm loosely clenched.

hum!

The space within a kilometer radius suddenly distorted.

Light bends, dust settles, and even sound slows down.

With another movement, the god's left hand lashed out with an ice-blue whip.

The long whip swept through the air, leaving a pale purple trail of light.

Wherever the light streak passed, energy particles scattered wildly, as if being drained by an invisible hand.

"This is the body of the God of Order..."

Ian muttered to himself, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Feeling the immense power within the divine body, this was a monstrous existence that surpassed ordinary level three wizards.

He could sense that this divine body of order was far more powerful than the thousand-foot-long star trail avatar condensed from the projection...

It is dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful.

Li Xing's star orbit Dharma form is merely a product of bloodline awakening.

The Order God Body... is a unique "true form" forged by the rules, witchcraft, and the panel.

After the formation of the Order God Body was completed, Ian's mental sea began to expand wildly.

The boundaries of the miniature star map appear to be pulled outwards by an invisible hand.

New points of light emerged from the void and joined the rotating array.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred... the range of mental perception began to increase dramatically.

Ten miles, a hundred miles, five hundred miles... eventually, it stabilized within a radius of a thousand miles.

Within this range, he can sense all the general energy fluctuations.

Magma flows deep within the mountains, life teems in the rivers, and monsters roam the wilderness…

With more refined perception, one can "see" the veins of a leaf ten thousand meters away.

You can "hear" the rustling sound of a small insect crawling hundreds of meters underground, its segments rubbing against the soil.

The spiritual energy also transformed from pale gold to pure gold, with each strand of spiritual energy solidifying like a tangible thread.

Resilient, sharp, with the texture of stars.

At the same time, the essence of life is also undergoing a leap.

Lifespan... skyrocketed from a thousand years at level two to three thousand years.

Because of the special nature of his divine body of order, he had an extra thousand years compared to ordinary people.

The body is no longer just pure flesh and blood, but a perfect fusion of "energy flesh and blood".

It can be infinitely reshaped like energy, and it can also carry the soul and emotions like flesh and blood.

Ian slowly exhaled, his aura condensing into a silver pillar of light that flew a thousand meters away before slowly dissipating.

"Level 3..."

He murmured those two words, a smile playing on his lips. .

This is the exhilarating feeling of controlling power, controlling destiny, controlling... the future.

Just as the body of the God of Order was completely stabilized, Ian officially stepped into the realm of a third-level wizard.

The sky suddenly changed color.

The "rules" above the entire valley began to distort.

The sky suddenly changed color.

The "rules" above the entire valley began to distort.

An invisible pressure descended from the sky.

Every stone and every grain of dust in the valley seemed to have stopped moving, as if time had been paused.

Gaga squatted on the rock, its feathers bristling, its silver eyes filled with terror.

But it couldn't even make a sound; it could only stare intently at Ian in the center of the magic array.

Ian looked up; he "saw" it.

From the depths of the sky, an indescribable "will" descended.

That is the wizarding world itself, a recognition of the "newly promoted third-level wizard".

Each breakthrough to a higher realm will attract the brief presence of the world's will.

The time is extremely short, perhaps only a moment, but that moment is crucial.

Ian felt that he had established a subtle "connection" with the world itself.

Like a tree, its roots have penetrated deep into the earth.

He can sense the pulse of the planet beneath his feet, "hear" the flow of magma deep within the Earth's crust, and "see" the trajectories of stars outside the atmosphere.

More importantly...

He sensed that the newly formed divine body of order was being "examined" by the will of the wizarding world.

It seems... there's a certain... curiosity?

It's as if the world itself is observing a "new species" that has never appeared before.

The examination lasted only a brief moment.

hum!

With his will fully in place, Ian immediately decided to seize this opportunity.

Solidify the divine body of order into your innate sorcery for advancing to level three!

The panel responds synchronously deep within my consciousness.

[The arrival of the world's will has been detected...]

[The divine body of order is solidifying...]

[Curing progress: 10%...50%...100%...]

[Order God Body: (Tier 3 Talent) Solidified]

From then on, all witchcraft was unified under the core skill of [Order God Body].

However, each component can be used independently.

Gravity skeleton, purified flesh and blood, time core, ice and fire whip, crystal wall outer garment, furnace skin...

It can be summoned as a whole or used separately.

With a slight thought, Ian noticed the panel reappear.

Name: Ian Marcus

Age: 22

[Level: Early Stage of Level 3 Wizard]

[Innate Sorcery: Orderly Divine Body]

[Rule Progress: Gravity Rule 32%, Purification Rule 18%, Time Rule 5%]

When all three rules reach 100% progress, you can break through to level four Morning Star.

A clear path, well-defined metrics.

Ian stared at the words, the nebula deep in his pupils slowly swirling.

The Path of the Morning Star... For the first time, he saw the direction so clearly.

The will of the world slowly recedes.

The rules above the valley distorted, then gradually returned to calm.

The oppressive aura dissipated.

The gravel started rolling down again, and the wind blew into the valley floor once more.

Gaga can finally move.
