Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

The spatial rift quietly closed behind them.

Ian stood on a barren, rocky plain, not in a hurry to move.

The gravity barrier that had been used to conceal his presence was removed, and his suppressed aura suddenly broke free from all restraints.

With a whoosh, the entire planet Ester began to tremble!

Centered on Ian, a fiery, pure, and boundless aura erupted!

This is the complete Morning Star Pressure, formed by the condensation of five rules into one.

It is order declaring war on chaos, and purification cleansing pollution.

The energy, like an invisible tide, instantly swept over the rock layers, seeped into the soil, and surged into every vein of the earth.

The entire world of Estelle fell into a deathly silence in that instant.

Inside Deep Rock City.

Lumina, who was maintaining the star barrier, suddenly trembled.

She felt an indescribable, vast will pierce through the thick layers of rock, gently enveloping Deeprock City like sunlight.

This will was not malicious; it only possessed a majestic power that wanted one to prostrate oneself in worship.

The star barrier spontaneously emitted a soft light, showing no repulsion but rather joy, like a child seeing its mother.

Lumina stood there, stunned, tears streaming silently down her face. "This is... Senior Ian has returned."

Meanwhile, in every corner of the underground world, there lurk in the darkness, those mutated beasts that have long since lost their minds.

Whether they were sleeping soundly deep in the earth or frantically devouring their own kind, they all froze at the same moment!

For the first time, fear appeared in their scarlet, chaotic eyes!

That stems from the deepest level of life, an instinctive awe of higher beings, and a natural fear of order.

Countless mutated beasts let out uneasy hisses, frantically pawing at the ground, trying to burrow deeper into the cave.

But this aura ignored distance and obstacles, clearly sweeping across every inch of the planet.

"Gaga, get ready to begin."

Ian spoke softly, and the little guy emerged from the shadows, raising his head.

"Understood!" The little guy's body instantly swelled, its wingspan reaching a hundred meters, and its pupils sparkled with excitement.

Ian closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the depths of his mind.

The fiery star core is rotating at a constant frequency, surrounded by a golden halo.

"Expand your domain." Ian's thoughts flickered, and invisible fluctuations of rules spread out.

The entire planet began to "bend" around him, with ripples automatically spreading outwards.

One hundred kilometers, one thousand kilometers, ten thousand kilometers...

Eventually, it stabilized at a boundary with a radius of 15,000 kilometers.

This is a direct qualitative change in the scope of the domain after the rules have been solidified and standardized!

Within this region, the five laws of gravity, heat, purification, time, and earth together constitute an absolute domain ruled solely by Ian's will!

Gravity sensing, like invisible tentacles, swept across the entire area in an instant.

Every mutated beast, every wisp of polluted energy in the air—everything is revealed in minute detail.

At the same time, thirteen "points of light" emitting strong pollution fluctuations clearly lit up in perception.

Thirteen Level 4 Aberration Beasts.

They are found all over the world, some nesting deep underground, others dwelling in ancient ruins.

And in the direction of the central continent... lies the location of the Eternal Starry Sky.

There was also an even larger and darker entity, emanating a chilling aura.

Like a lurking ancient beast, even from a great distance, Ian could sense the malice and vigilance it exuded.

"Start clearing from the outside." Ian focused on the northern permafrost region.

There, there is a "spot of light" moving at high speed, with an aura strength of mid-level four and specializing in spatial jumps.

"You're the first lightning-fast shadow monster." With a flicker, he stepped into the space and disappeared from the spot.

The northern permafrost is frozen solid for thousands of miles.

The dark purple fungal carpet grows exceptionally slowly here, but the pollution has already penetrated deep into the ice layer.

A blurry shadow was flashing rapidly across the ice, each flash covering a distance of tens of kilometers.

It looked like it was on patrol, but also like it was fleeing.

The terrifying pressure that had enveloped the heavens and earth just now made it feel a deadly threat.

Ian's figure appeared silently in the sky above the ice field.

The blurry shadow suddenly stopped, revealing a humanoid outline, its entire body covered in flowing shadows.

It has no fixed facial features, only two points of scarlet light flashing on its head, and tiny spatial cracks constantly appearing and disappearing on its body surface.

"Shadow Fiend." Ian's voice was calm, carrying clearly through the cold wind.

The Shadow Fiend's crimson dot flickered violently, emitting a sharp mental shriek.

"Human...you shouldn't...have come back..."

The intermittent fluctuations were accompanied by an overwhelming sense of panic.

It sensed that the human in front of it was completely different from the "insects" it had previously perceived.

It's a sense of overwhelming power at the level of rules.

"Finished talking? Then you can go die."

Ian spread his five fingers wide, and the silver-gray gravity rules were activated at full power, directly distorting and reinforcing the spatial structure of this area.

The shimmering spatial cracks on the surface of the Shadow Demon's body suddenly went out.

Its most powerful spatial jumping ability was forcibly locked down by Ian!

"Aww!"

The Shadow Demon let out a roar of shock and anger, its form suddenly blurring as it attempted to forcibly tear through space.

But the surrounding space was as hard as solid, and when its claws slashed across it, they only produced a screeching sound, without even a ripple.

"Perfect for practicing with you, time prediction."

A faint golden halo flickered deep within Ian's pupils.

Within the field of vision, the trajectory of energy flow within the Shadow Fiend's body, the signs of muscle exertion, and even the "possibility" of its next "attempt" to move...

Everything is presented clearly, like a scene in slow motion.

This is the ingenious use of time rules combined with other rules after they reach 100%.

It's not about simply predicting the future, but about capturing "probability".

But Shadow Fiend was no ordinary mutant beast; its figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

Instead of attempting spatial jumps, it pushed its speed to the limit, transforming into a blur that was impossible to detect with the naked eye.

The sharp shadow claws tore through the air, carrying the power to cut through space, and pierced straight for Ian's back.

If this strike hits, it would be enough to silently slice a mountain in two.

But Ian simply reached behind him casually and said, "Got you."

Five fingers precisely gripped the Shadow Fiend's wrist!

"What?!" Shadow Demon's crimson eyes widened to the extreme.

It simply couldn't understand how its attack, which exceeded ten times the speed of sound, could be so easily captured.

Ian tightened his grip on Shadow Fiend's wrist with his right hand, unleashing a burst of intense heat from his palm.

This is a pure thermal energy rule condensation.

The Shadow Fiend's arm, composed of shadows and fragments of space, instantly turned crimson and softened.

"Ugh!"

It let out a piercing scream and struggled frantically, but its wrists were as if welded to the metal pincers.

Ian raised his left hand and made a half-closed gesture in front of his chest.

A point of pure white light appeared and instantly expanded into a miniature "sun" with a diameter of one meter.

The eternal blazing sun!

Ian gently pressed the miniature sun into its chest.

"No!!!" The Shadow Fiend's scream came to an abrupt halt.

A blinding white light burst forth from the Shadow Demon's body, igniting and purifying it from the inside out.

Three breaths later, the light dissipated, leaving only a pale silver, crystalline gem in place.

Inside the gemstone, it seemed as if a constantly twinkling starry sky was sealed away.

[Obtained: Pure Level 4 Soul Gem (Space/Speed ​​Attribute)]

Ian put the gem away and turned his gaze to the southwest, where a large number of dense life signals were gathering.

"Second stop... Darkwing Dragon Bat." His figure disappeared again.

To the southwest, a basin shrouded in dark purple spore clouds, thousands upon thousands of flying aberrant beasts hovered in the air.

They come in various shapes and sizes; some resemble rotting giant eagles, while others look like worms with fleshy wings.

Without exception, their scarlet eyes were fixed on the center of the basin.

A giant dragon bat with a wingspan of over a thousand meters hovered in mid-air, its entire body covered in jet-black scales, and the edges of its bony wings were as sharp as knives.

Its head resembled a combination of a dragon and a bat, and its mouthparts dripped corrosive venom.

Darkwing Dragon Bat, mid-level tier 4.

It possesses considerable intelligence and can even command its flying herds to hunt in unison.

But at this moment, its scarlet vertical pupils were filled with unease and rage, and the overwhelming pressure that enveloped the heavens and earth made it feel a strong threat.

It summoned all its servants and stood ready for battle.

As soon as Ian's figure appeared on the mountain peak at the edge of the basin, the dragon bats let out a sharp screech.

"roar!!!"

As if receiving a command, all the flying mutant beasts changed direction in unison.

Overwhelming, like a black tide, it spread towards Ian, numbering over five thousand, including many at the peak of the third level.

This is a true swarm tactic.

"A fearless struggle."

Ian remained expressionless, gently extending his arms to his sides.

Gravitational tides!

An invisible gravitational wave spread out from him, and wherever it passed, space began to distort and fold.

The sounds of those rapidly approaching flying mutant beasts—the cracking of their broken wings and the muffled thuds of flesh exploding—filled the air.

Then Ian clasped his hands together and suddenly lifted them upwards.

"Purification Nova".

A pale golden halo erupted from him!

Golden ripples spread rapidly, and wherever the halo swept across, all the mutated beasts disturbed by the gravitational tides, regardless of their level, had their flesh and blood vaporized directly in the golden light, leaving not even ashes behind.

With just two simple moves, more than five thousand flying mutant beasts were wiped out.

The air above the basin cleared, leaving only the lone Darkwing Dragon Bat.

In those crimson vertical pupils, this wasn't a GG (game over), but rather a recommendation for the treasure book "The Wizard: My Skills Can Be Limitlessly Improved":

A deep sense of fear arose.

"Your turn." Ian swayed.

The time rule accelerated itself, and the gravity rule stretched space, causing it to appear directly a hundred meters above the dragon bat's head.

The dragon bat was terrified and spewed out a dark purple, corrosive torrent.

At the same time, it emitted a sharp mental shock, attempting to disrupt Ian's consciousness.

A pale golden purifying glow appeared on Ian's body, mixed with thick, earthy yellow textures.

The corrosive torrent crashed into the light barrier, making a hissing sound, but it could not penetrate even a little.

The mental shock was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, causing not a ripple.

Ian made a fist with his right hand, and thermal energy condensed, forming a spear made entirely of crimson light in his palm.

"break."

He pulled his arm back and then threw it out with a thud!

The crimson spear transformed into a streak of light, easily tearing through the dark shield erected by the dragon bat and precisely piercing its chest.

"Roar!!!" The dragon bat let out a desperate roar, and its huge body began to convulse violently.

No blood flowed from the wound; only a blinding white light burst forth from within.

Ian gave it no chance, and clasped his hands together again in front of his chest.

The eternal blazing sun has appeared in the world for the second time.

The miniature sun fell, completely engulfing the dragon bat.

After the light faded, a dark blue soul gem floated in mid-air.

[Obtained: Pure Level 4 Soul Gem (Dark/Wind Attribute)]

"Great, this one is perfect for Gaga, let's keep it for now."

After the two warm-up matches, he also figured out his own strength level.

Against Morning Star opponents with only one or two rules, it can almost completely crush them.

His "Eternal Sun" in particular can combine gravity and heat energy, and can also incorporate rules such as purification to amplify its power.

Ian had only been at the breakthrough stage for a few months, yet he already possessed this level of strength, which made him very satisfied.

I just killed two level-four aberration beasts in succession, especially the Darkwing Dragonbat, a leader with a large number of servants.

The resulting fluctuations in rules and the impact of ordered energy thoroughly enraged all the sources of pollution in this world!

Ian realized that the remaining eleven level-four mutant beasts, as well as the massive "shadow" in the central continent, had all awakened!

They stared in Ian's direction, their murderous intent surging skyward.

"Awooo..." All the level four leaders roared to the sky.

The entire world, all the mutant beasts, were engulfed in a frenzied counterattack.

They no longer hide, no longer fear, and begin to attack any "foreign object" they perceive without regard for anything else.

Deep underground, countless mutated beasts began to swarm toward human settlements.

Above the ground, flying monsters that blot out the sky began to gather, and they had only one target... Ian!

"It seems we need to speed things up." A cold glint flashed in Ian's eyes.

He no longer held back, his figure slowly rising, passing through the thick clouds, and arriving in the high sky of the world of Estelle!

This was the first time he had truly appeared in the "sky" of this world.

Above us was a dark red, cracked sky, and below us was a vast land covered with a fungal carpet.

In the distance, one can see twisted mountains, crumbling city ruins, and hordes of mutated beasts surging in from all directions!

They were densely packed together, and their numbers were too numerous to count.

At that moment, all the filth of the world rushed toward him.

"How dare ants defy the might of Heaven?"

Ian hovered high in the air, his eyes closed.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the blazing star core began to spin wildly, and its golden halo burst forth with dazzling light.

hum! ! !

Centered on him, a spherical domain with a radius of 15,000 kilometers unfolds in full force.

This time, it's not about sensing gravity, but about the true crushing power of rules!

Within the territory, all aberrant beasts below level four, no matter how deep they are hidden underground or how high they fly in the sky, are subject to the law.

At the same instant, everyone froze.

then……

Thud! Thud! Thud! ...

It was as if they were simultaneously crushed by an invisible giant hand.

Flesh, bones, and internal organs collapsed and shattered under the sudden surge of gravity.

Dark purple blood splattered onto the earth like a torrential rain!

The golden light of purification transformed into a gentle drizzle, falling from the sky.

Every drop of light fell on the remains of the mutated beast, on the fungal carpet, and on the earth.

All pollution and filth, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, quickly melt and evaporate!

The dark purple spore cloud that filled the air was dispersed by the gold CD player.

The creeping fungal carpet on the earth's surface was forcibly peeled off and purified.

The pus and blood flowing in the river were restored to clear water.

All pollution across the entire area is being forcibly "cleaned up"!

At this moment, Ian's figure began to fly around the planet.

Like a blazing sun, it trails a golden tail that stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Wherever it goes, the rules and regulations are advanced in tandem.

Mutant beasts below level four exploded and died in droves, then were completely wiped out by the light of purification.

This process lasted for a full hour.

When Ian orbits the planet once and returns to the starting point.

The entire world of Estel fell silent, becoming "clean" like never before.

There is no longer a putrid stench in the air, and no longer a fungal carpet on the ground.

The river became clear again, and the mountains reappeared.

The pervasive oppressive and polluted atmosphere... has disappeared by more than 90%!

Only the eleven Level 4 Aberrant Beasts and the two "shadows" in the Central Continent remained.

They rely on their own powerful rules to resist and barely survive the crushing power of the domain.

Apart from the two at the central continent, the rest were all wounded and their auras were weak.

The outcome of the ensuing battle was a foregone conclusion.

Ian, like a messenger of death, came after the Level 4 mutant beasts.

Faced with overwhelming strength, any struggle is futile.

Gravitational confinement, time prediction, crimson blade piercing through, purification and annihilation...

Aside from the lack of a wizard tower, this is the terrifying power of a fully-fledged Morning Star wizard.

When the rules create an overwhelming advantage, numbers, terrain, and even the so-called "home advantage" become a joke.

Ian didn't even use his full strength.

By simply combining the five rules, a "great cleansing" of the entire world was easily accomplished.

As the last Level 4 Aberrant Beast turned to ashes in the Eternal Sun, Ian hovered high in the sky and slowly exhaled.

At the edge of my field of vision, the text on the panel quietly appeared.

Global pollution levels have decreased by 71%.

[Progress of World Will Recovery: 29%]

He had just noticed that the golden light deep within the earth, which was entwined by vines, had become much brighter.

It even conveyed a faint sense of "gratitude".

"It's time to deal with the last one." Ian looked towards the central continent.

Above the ruins of the old kingdom, a massive, mountain-like shadow looms, exuding a chilling aura.

It seemed to be completely enraged by Ian's killings.

No longer hiding, no longer lying dormant, like a demon god awakening, it slowly "stood up".

The mere surge of energy caused the sky in that area to completely distort and shatter, revealing a dark purple spatial rift behind it.

"It's actually a separate space fragment."

Ian did not go immediately; a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

With a slight shift in consciousness, a clear mental message was transmitted directly into the minds of all survivors within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.

"I am Ian, all survivors. You have two weeks to assemble in Deeprock."

Inside Deeprock City, Lumina was filled with fear and unease because of the dramatic changes that had just occurred.

The moment that voice appeared in my mind, my whole body trembled.

Without any hesitation, she immediately issued the highest-level rallying order to all known human outposts through the gravity channel network that Ian had previously established.

"The Eternal Sun Crown descends with a decree! All humanity, assemble at Deeprock!"

"The road ahead is clear; light is on the horizon!"

This order spread like wildfire throughout the underground world.

Thirty-seven large and medium-sized human settlements, with over six hundred thousand survivors, erupted in thunderous cheers after a brief moment of hesitation and disbelief!

They set off for Deeprock City with their families and the last of their supplies.

Along the way, they saw sights they had never seen before.

The tunnel was clean and tidy, the air was fresh, and even the rock walls emitted a faint golden glow.

All traces of the mutant beasts vanished, as if they had never existed.

Many people, as they walked, knelt down and burst into tears.

They knew that the long darkness... was finally over.

Ian hovered high in the sky, silently "watching" the underground world, an unprecedented migration in human history over the past thousand years.

Then his gaze fell back to the central continent, where the aura of that "shadow" had reached its peak.

It even caused tremors in some of the existing rules of the world.

"Peak of Level 4, it seems, this is the last 'cancer' in this world."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ian's eyes.

"Once I get rid of it, I should have the astral gold and knowledge of floating cities I need."

He closed his eyes slightly, began to adjust his state, and digested the insights he had gained from the previous battle.

Within the spiritual sea, the blazing star core, having continuously killed numerous sources of pollution and absorbed a portion of the purified world's essence, became even more solid and active, its golden halo shining ever brighter.

Ian could sense that his strength was steadily improving.

Opening his eyes, deep within his golden pupils, a terrifying "shadow" was reflected in the distance.

"The last cancer should be eradicated."
