Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Deep within the Kunlun Mountains, the purple fissure slowly closed.

Ian stood before the rift, his eyes thoughtful, his fingertips lightly touching the spatial barrier.

He keenly sensed that this journey across the two realms was somewhat different from the one he had taken before.

The first time you enter, you need to forcibly tear open the passage and rely on the rules of gravity to stabilize the path.

Now, in his perception, this crack is like a clear "address".

Just now, the soul connection between his consciousness and Wei Song, deep within his mind, was like an invisible thread that pierced straight through the barriers of the world, connecting the two worlds.

"I see. I'll have the rift between Wei and Song cleared when we get back."

The soul positioning provided by the Phase Weaving Technique, combined with the Morning Star Wizard's control over space, meant that Ian no longer needed this rift as a "fixed passage."

All we need to do is follow this soul connection and locate the coordinates of Wei Song's Xuanhuang world.

Then it simply tears open the space and descends into the past, as naturally as walking from one room to the next.

"It's time to go back."

He took a step forward, disappearing into the space. A moment later, the scene before him suddenly changed.

The familiar alloy walls, the familiar energy fluctuations, the familiar intense heat.

The underground secret room of Jiangzhou Administration Office.

Ian casually dispersed the remaining spatial ripples, walked to the stone chair inside the secret room, sat down, and got straight to the point.

"Let me tell you about the arrangements and progress here."

Wei Song sat down opposite him, and with a light tap of his fingertip in the air, a pale golden light screen unfolded, densely filled with recent data.

"The Global Defense Alliance was officially established last month, spearheaded by the Great Yan, with 147 countries signing the agreement."

"Resource quotas are allocated among countries according to their contributions, including raw materials, rare metals, and technical data..."

"We have collected 1,200 complete source crystals and more than 3,000 fragments so far."

"In addition, several newly discovered rare mineral veins in China are somewhat similar to the metals you specifically marked. Once the exploration is completed, we will immediately begin the mining phase."

Wei Song began to recount the events one by one, and with each number he mentioned, the light in Ian's eyes shone brighter.

"Not bad." Ian nodded slightly. Every small world has its unique resources.

"What about over there?" Wei Song turned his gaze to Ian.

Ian was silent for a moment. "That world is more complicated than I expected."

He didn't speak, but instead transmitted the memory directly through a soul connection.

Ruins, pollution, struggling humans, and... the faint plea for help from the world's will.

All the information was exchanged in an instant, and Wei Song's pupils contracted slightly.

"The world's will is still resisting? You want to complete the rules as soon as possible, and then go back and remove those anchors."

"Not only that." A glint of light flashed in Ian's eyes.

"Removing the nails is also the best opportunity to collect astral gold and knowledge, and in the end... perhaps even greater rewards can be obtained."

Wei Song nodded slowly, his expression turning serious. The entrustment from both worlds needed to be handled carefully.

"Oh, there's one more thing." Wei Song suddenly remembered something and turned to walk to the corner of the secret room.

They opened a specially made safe and took out a crystal box the size of a fist.

Wei Song placed the box on the table, gently pushed open the lid, and found a layer of soft black velvet inside.

On the velvet, three transparent stones, smaller than grains of rice, lay quietly, in irregular polyhedral shapes.

If it weren't for the light shining in the enclosed room, reflecting an extremely faint, prism-like halo of seven colors, their existence would be completely unnoticeable.

The strangest thing is that these stones, even though they are clearly in the box, give people an eerie feeling that they are hard to touch.

It seems to exist in multiple locations simultaneously, yet it also seems to not exist in this world at all.

"What is this?" Ian raised an eyebrow.

Even with his Morning Star Wizard's perception, he couldn't immediately determine the nature of these stones.

"It was submitted three days ago by a level two 'space-time perception' ability user." Wei Song's tone was somewhat complicated.

"That kid was originally an archaeology major in college. After awakening his superpower, he could vaguely perceive the 'time trajectory' of objects."

"Last month, I went to the northwestern desert for a field study. In a dried-up ancient riverbed, I inadvertently 'sense' that something was 'shimmering' underground."

"He dug for three days and found these three stones deep underground."

Ian reached out, his fingertips hovering above the box, and in his mental sea, the star trails representing the rules of time trembled slightly.

These transparent stones actually contain extremely pure fragments of spacetime attribute rules.

They are not fragments, but rather solidified "spacetime nodes".

Wei Song added, "That kid said that every time his finger was about to touch the stone, the stone would 'dodge' to the side, as if it was deliberately avoiding him."

"In the end, he used his supernatural abilities to create a miniature spacetime trap, which barely managed to 'trap' them inside the box."

Ian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingertips slowly descended. When they were less than a centimeter away from the stones, with a hum, the three transparent stones flashed simultaneously.

The next second, they vanished.

Ian clearly "saw" that they hadn't really disappeared, but had simply "jumped" to where they were half a second ago.

It's like a videotape rewinding a frame and then returning to its original position; this process is extremely brief and ordinary people can't even perceive it.

If you continue to touch them, they will keep flashing and trying to escape.

"Interesting..." Ian's lips curled up slightly.

He manipulated the rules of time, and the space around his right hand began to become "viscous," forcibly slowing the flow of time by ten times.

Reaching out again, this time, just as the three stones were about to "flicker," their trajectory was captured by the slowed-down time.

Ian's fingertips finally touched one of them, but the sensation was strange.

What I felt at my fingertips wasn't the physical sensation of a physical object, but rather a cold, solidified mass of time, creating an awkward sense of "dislocation" in my heart.

It's as if the finger and the stone are not in the same flow of time.

"This is... the Sands of Time," Ian murmured to himself, recalling an ancient book he had once read.

The Sands of Time and Space are born in places where the rules of the world fluctuate violently, such as when two worlds collide and large spatial rifts exist for a long time.

It contains pure fragments of spacetime rules, which can help you comprehend time and space-related rules.

It is also a top-tier material for constructing high-level sorcery and forging sorcery tools, and it is usually only possible to generate a small amount of it after a world-class catastrophe.

He looked at the transparent stone in his hand, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

The Xuanhuang World has a history of rifts spanning two hundred years, with countless spatial cracks existing for a long time and its rules fluctuating violently.

It is indeed reasonable that the Sands of Time could be created, but ordinary people simply cannot touch them.

"These three are still too few; we can't make anything big with them."

Using it to improve time and space rules would be an extremely wasteful act.

If you could only read one fantasy novel in your life, it would probably be "The Wizard: My Skills Can Break Through Infinitely".

Ian put the stone back in the box and looked at Wei Song.

"This is an important clue. Have that superhuman lead the way to the place where he found the stone, and conduct a comprehensive survey within a 100-kilometer radius."

"In addition, a global announcement will be made that anyone who discovers similar transparent stones, regardless of size or quantity, can exchange them for a complete source crystal ten times its volume."

Wei Song was taken aback. "A source crystal ten times the size? That's the price..."

"It's totally worth it." Ian was thrilled. Although source crystals were even rarer, they weren't that rare in Xuanhuang.

He looked at his right hand, where the power of the five rules flowed slowly in his palm.

"If I collect enough Time Sand, perhaps I can use it to forge a real 'Time Wizard Tool'."

A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes; time-space magical artifacts were legendary in the wizarding world.

With it, whether it's cleaning up pollution in the world of Ester, building wizard towers in the future, or exploring the void, it will be a great help.

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away." Wei Song nodded emphatically.

Ian closed the crystal box and carefully stored it deep inside the dimensional ring.

Let's first complete the rules of time and the earth, and continue to improve our strength.

"Let's begin."

He got up and walked to the center of the secret room, took out the earth-yellow soul gem, and piled thousands of source crystals in front of him.

Soul Gems can not only be used to create the control center of a Wizard Tower, but can also be used to directly absorb the pure essence within it.

He sat down cross-legged, his consciousness sinking into the depths of his mind, and the prompts on the panel appeared at the edge of his vision.

[Absorb Level 4 Soul Gem?]

"Yes." Ian's thoughts fell, and the Soul Gem instantly melted.

It transformed into a stream of earthy yellow light and disappeared into his brow.

The sea of ​​consciousness trembled violently!

The yellowish-brown light surged like a rushing river, frantically flowing into the outermost ring of star trails.

The progress bar for "Rules of the Earth" started jumping rapidly from 75% to 76%, 78%, 82%...

With each pulsation, a new layer of texture appears on the surface of the blazing star core, its aura becoming increasingly profound, stable, and indestructible.

At the same time, Ian began to channel the energy of the source crystal.

Thousands of source crystals lit up simultaneously, transforming into golden threads of light that surged into his body.

Most of it poured into the fiery star core, driving the evolution of the rules.

A small portion flows towards the time star track, where light filaments wrap around it, and the transparent track band begins to rotate at an accelerated speed.

The rotation speed increased and became increasingly unstable, sometimes as fast as lightning, sometimes as slow as a snail.

The surrounding air distorted, and the scene inside the sealed room began to appear as double images.

Wei Song retreated to the edge of the secret room and erected a protective barrier around himself.

Within a ten-meter radius around Ian, the flow of time had completely spiraled out of control.

A small flying insect, whose origins are unknown, strayed into that area. The moment it flapped its wings, its movements suddenly accelerated a hundredfold.

It's like pressing the fast forward button; the body completes a lifetime cycle in 0.1 seconds.

They lay eggs, hatch, grow, mate, age, and then turn into a cloud of fine powder that falls from the sky.

Wei Song stared at that area, secretly surprised.

Is this the anomaly that occurs when the rules of time are broken? What if it was a person who just went in?

Just then, he sensed that Li Hao was rushing over with several high-ranking officials.

"Commander-in-Chief Wei, the fluctuations inside..." Li Hao was stopped by Wei Song raising his hand before he could finish speaking.

"The guardian is comprehending and cultivating."

Wei Song stood in front of the secret room door, his voice calm, "It's not convenient to see you now, maybe next time."

He didn't leave, but stood at the end of the corridor, looking at the tightly closed metal door in the distance, from which a chilling fluctuation of time emanated.

As time went by, the strange phenomena in the secret room became more and more obvious.

Within a radius of 100 meters centered on Ian, the flow of time has been completely disrupted.

Sometimes an hour passes outside, but only a minute passes inside; other times a day passes inside, but only ten minutes pass outside.

Gravity rules automatically solidify the surrounding area, making the spatial structure exceptionally stable.

Even the air becomes viscous like glue, and ordinary creatures that enter it will be instantly "fixed" in place.

Wei Song stood guard outside the door every day, absorbing the subtle fluctuations of the rules that seeped out from the cracks in the door. Although they were weak, they were of great help to him.

Late at night on the fifteenth day.

The golden light in the secret room suddenly began to contract, and all the disordered fluctuations in time subsided in the same instant.

Wei Song suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the door to the secret room.

The heavy alloy door was slowly opening inwards, and Ian stepped out.

Deep within the pupils, the five star orbits had completely merged, transforming into a golden halo that encircled the central, blazing star core, radiating an indescribable majesty.

"Did it work?" Wei Song asked.

Ian nodded, looking relaxed, as the words quietly appeared at the edge of his vision.

[Time Rule: 100%] [Earth Rule: 100%]

With the rules condensed into one, the fiery star core has entered a stable growth period. The next stage is to continuously nurture the star core and move towards the path of the radiant moon.

Ian felt the surging power within him, which was at least 50% stronger than before.

After the Earth's rules were perfected, a layer of rock texture grew on the surface of the blazing star core, bringing its defense to a whole new level.

Even if they stand still and let a level 4 early-stage mutant beast attack them with all its might, they probably wouldn't even be able to break through that layer of texture.

Ian looked up into the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, where the fissures were still slowly rotating.

This time, it's not needed. Just lock onto the coordinates of the Estelle world, then tear open space and descend into the past.

"When I return, it will be time to go back to the wizarding world," a glint of fire flashed in Ian's eyes.

The pollution of that world should be mostly cleaned up, and the knowledge of astral gold and floating cities should be in hand by now.

At that time, carrying precious resources from both realms, we can open up the situation as quickly as possible.

He raised his hand and swept it across his face; with a tearing sound, space was ripped open like a piece of cloth.

Across the crack, a hazy gray sky could be vaguely seen, with dark purple mist permeating the air.

Ian took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the crevice.

The crack slowly closed behind him, leaving no trace.

Outside, Li Hao and the others were still waiting there. When they saw Wei Song come out, he quickly went to greet him.

"Commander Wei, the guardian of him..."

Wei Song said helplessly, "The Guardians have a new mission and cannot meet with you for the time being."

"But he has new instructions: the collection of global resources and the operation of the alliance are now entrusted to you."

Li Hao paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically, "Understood!"

He knew that some things didn't need too much questioning; he just needed to do what he was supposed to do.
