Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Cola Novels makes reading always a chapter faster than others.

As delegations from various factions poured into Silvermoon Highlands from all parts of the Central Continent.

Ian remained unusually calm and was not affected by Azshara's promotion.

He summoned Isera, who was struggling to adapt to her new environment.

The chief Summoner of the Exoc world was now wearing a blue robe prepared for her by the moon elves, which softened her cold and aloof aura considerably.

The dark gold vertical pupils between her brows no longer held much fear and confusion, but rather a sense of composure and a thirst for new knowledge.

She was already able to communicate with Ian in basic terms using accurate Wizard Common.

"Have a seat," Ian said calmly, gesturing to the seat opposite him.

This temporary dwelling is simple, with elfin-style openwork window frames and furniture, making it exceptionally elegant.

Isera obediently sat down, placing her hands flat on her knees in a respectful posture.

She could tell that Ian was in a good mood.

"In the next few days, many envoys from different factions will arrive at Silvermoon Highlands."

Ian got straight to the point, his gaze landing on Isera's face.

"They are ostensibly there to congratulate the World Tree on its ascension, but they may also be inquiring about everything concerning the world of Exoc."

Ysera's dark gold vertical pupils contracted slightly, and her body tensed instinctively.

She understood what Ian meant. Compared to the vast civilization of the wizarding world, the world of Exoc and she herself were like children who had suddenly stumbled into a land of giants.

Every move they make will be scrutinized and analyzed by countless eyes.

"What do you need me to do?" Isera's voice was dry, tinged with nervousness.

"Don't worry about anything," Ian said calmly, his fingertips tapping lightly on the armrest of his seat.

"When the official delegation of the Supreme Wizarding Alliance contacts you, you only need to do three things."

"First, clearly and objectively state the current state of the Exoc world."

"The Zerg invasion, the Abyss pollution, the world's will damaged and dormant, the birth of the Awakener and its past sins, the reality that the world is on the verge of collapse, there is no need to hide it or beautify it."

"Secondly, it clearly expresses the desire of the world of Exoc, including the world's will, to join the Wizarding Alliance."

"Third, and most importantly."

Ian's gaze sharpened as he stared directly into Isera's eyes.

"My value lies in discovering Exok, in saving this world from the gap between the Zerg and the Abyss, and bringing it to the Alliance."

"As for how I did it..."

He paused slightly, allowing Ysera to fully grasp the weight of his words.

"For now, let's not mention any details about my ability to enslave the Mother or severely damage the Void Hive itself."

This involves some of his trump cards, which he can't keep hidden for long, but he doesn't want to reveal them to too many people immediately.

Ysera nodded vigorously, a look of understanding flashing in her eyes.

Ian wanted to focus all the attention of all factions on the immense value of the world of Exoc itself.

Those magical "fragments of the cosmic subconscious" are the "Awakener's Talent" that can bypass the barriers of the world.

These are the core values ​​that truly moved the wizarding civilization and made them bring Esok under their control.

Ian himself only needs to appear as a "lucky and powerful discoverer and mediator".

"I understand, my lord," Isera's voice regained its composure.

"I will be the 'showcase' of the world of Exoc, allowing the League to see its value and potential."

"But at the same time, we will keep the secret about your true power."

Ian nodded in satisfaction. Ysera had grown rapidly during her time in Silvermoon Highlands.

She was no longer the chief who begged him for protection in her desperate situation; she had begun to understand the operating logic of the wizarding civilization.

Knowledge, contracts, rules, and interests.

This is a vast system based on reason and order, where barbarity and chaos have no place.

"My lady..." Isera hesitated for a moment before asking.

"How can I advocate for your interests during negotiations?"

She knew very well that everything she had now, including the future of the world of Exoc, depended on Ian.

If you can secure more benefits for him, your own status and value will also rise accordingly.

Upon hearing this, Ian's eyes showed a hint of appreciation. "You don't need to fight for me."

He slowly shook his head, his voice calm.

"All you need to do is fight for the most favorable conditions for yourself and for the world of Exoc."

"A strong, stable Exok that has enough value in the league is in my best interest."

"Remember, you are now the Supreme Commander of Esok. This is your identity and your responsibility."

Isera was stunned; she hadn't expected Ian to answer like that.

It wasn't about making her a puppet or a mouthpiece; it was about truly entrusting the future of the world of Exoc to her.

A heavy sense of responsibility, mixed with inexplicable excitement, welled up in her heart.

She took a deep breath, her eyes growing even more resolute. "Isela understands, thank you, my lord!"

After Ysera left, a shadow swept in through the window and landed lightly on Ian's shoulder.

"Once the league confirms Exok's value, they will definitely reward me, the Trail Blazers player."

"At that time, I will apply to the alliance to try and secure a level four shadow attribute resource or inheritance for you."

A look of surprise and gratitude flashed in Gaga's eyes, and she gently tugged at Ian's collar with her little paws.

"Ian! The Alliance's rewards must be very valuable! They should be used to buy you materials to build the Wizard's Tower, or to improve your own strength! I'm not in a hurry..."

The little guy didn't say what he was going to say next, but the meaning was clear: Ian was the most important person, and resources should be prioritized for Ian.

Ian felt a warmth in his heart and tapped Gaga's little head with his finger.

"If you become stronger, you can help me with some of the tasks in the future, wouldn't that be helping me?"

His eyes deepened slightly. "What I need is not just resources, but also time."

"When I'm building the Wizard's Tower, I won't have time to look after anything else, so I'll need you to keep an eye on my men for me."

"Do you have any subordinates I can manage?" Ga Ga muttered.

"It will be ready soon. I can't build the Wizard Tower by myself; it would take forever."

He already had a plan: to consolidate all his resources.

The family and Silvermoon, even the entire Anriria, the Just family of the Eastern Realm, Wei Song and Lumina of the Xuanhuang World, and others.

These people can help with many basic construction tasks, such as smelting basic materials and laying rune arrays...

Gaga seemed to understand, but when it heard that it would benefit Ian, it stopped objecting and disappeared again with a flap of its wings.

With a slight thought, Ian sent out an invisible message.

A moment later, Kerrigan replied with a hint of languor and ingratiation.

"Master~~ You finally remembered me!"

"Reporting to my master, my people have fully adapted to the environment of Silvermoon Forest!"

"All fifteen level-four guardian insects have entered a deep hibernation state, with energy consumption reduced to a minimum, and can be awakened at any time."

"1,200 combat units, divided into ten squads, will conduct alternating stealth patrols outside and inside the restricted area."

"I didn't disturb any fairies, and I didn't even eat a single bird! (Proudly)"

"To conserve energy and better conceal myself, I've compressed my form to only one meter long!"

"Now I feel like a beautiful little beetle of similar color, hiding in a crack in the heart of the oldest 'War Tree' in the forbidden area—it's so comfortable!"

Kerrigan's report was well-organized and contained a hint of self-aggrandizement.

Ian felt a slight tremor in his heart. Kerrigan had indeed managed the troops very well and done a very good job in the infiltration work.

But this deliberate change in emotion surprised him greatly. Was this still the cold and ruthless Zerg?

The Zerg's evolutionary learning ability is always surprising, no matter how unintentionally it is displayed.

"You did a great job." Ian's eye twitched slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he still conveyed his approval.

"Continue to lie low and remain hidden. Do not make any unusual movements without my orders."

"Once my own wizard tower is completed, you can move in with your troops. It will be safer and freer there."

Kerrigan's mind immediately became excited.

"Really, Master! That's great! The forbidden area is safe, but it's so boring..."

"By the way, Master, when can I start 'mass production'? I feel like my biomass and energy are about to overflow, I really want to have babies..."

Ian: "..."

He was once again speechless at Kerrigan's erratic thoughts and her bizarre request for "reproduction".

The Zerg's instincts are truly powerful.

"Soon," he replied blankly.

"When I need you, I will naturally let you mass produce troops. For now, stay put and accumulate energy; this is also part of evolution."

"Yes, Master!" Kerrigan was a little disappointed, but she still obediently listened to him.

Having severed contact with Kerrigan, Ian breathed a sigh of relief and refocused his attention on reality.

……

As the emerald nebula and the chanting of rules entered their most stable phase above the Silver Moon Highlands.

The first truly significant mission has arrived.

It wasn't one of those "congratulatory delegations" trying to find out the truth, but a civilization expansion mission from the headquarters of the Supreme Wizard Alliance.

They descended directly through the external teleportation array of Silvermoon Highlands.

There was no grand display, but the aura emanating from the highest authority of civilization commanded the entire Silvermoon Council to awe.

The mission was small, consisting of fifteen people.

The leader was a female wizard, dressed in a star-patterned robe, with a face as white as the moon and an air of elegance and wisdom.

She simply stood there, and an invisible field of rules flowed naturally around her, causing the surrounding moonlight to bend slightly towards her.

Alleria, a mid-level 5th-tier Moonlit Realm cultivator, is one of the twelve rotating chairpersons of the Alliance Council, specifically responsible for civilization expansion and interdimensional affairs.

The real bigwigs.

Beside her stood a tall, imposing male wizard with a full beard, casually dressed in leather hunting attire, and with eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

Morton, a fourth-level Morning Star peak, is the deputy director of the Alliance's Otherworld Affairs Department, renowned for his accurate assessment of the value of otherworldly resources.

He appears rugged, but is as shrewd as a fox.

Behind them were twelve highly skilled level three wizards, their movements meticulous, each carrying professional equipment such as recording crystals and analyzers.

The meeting place was set in the Moonlight Palace in the core area of ​​Silvermoon Highlands.

Only four people attended from the Silvermoon Council: Queen Serafina, High Priest Karendil, Ian, and Ysera.

After both parties took their seats and exchanged a few simple, polite greetings, the atmosphere quickly turned to the main topic.

Aurelia's deep blue eyes first fell on Ian.

Her gaze was calm, filled with curiosity, inquiry, and a hint of admiration.

A level four Morning Star Wizard, alone, ventures into a strange world ravaged by both the Zerg and the Abyss.

Not only did they successfully turn the tide and greatly change the fate of that world, but they even brought it to the forefront of the alliance.

This cannot be explained by "good luck" alone; there must be extraordinary abilities involved, and many secrets are hidden within.

Aurelia had a preliminary judgment in mind, but she did not say it aloud.

Everyone has secrets, and as long as they don't affect the alliance's interests and can contribute to the alliance, she's happy to maintain respect.

"Lord Marcus," Aurelia said gently.

"Could you please tell us in detail about your experiences in the world of Exoc, and the current state of that world?"

All eyes were on Ian.

Ian remained calm, nodded slightly, and began to speak, his tone steady and his arguments clear.

From the basic situation of the world of Exoc, to its tragic state of being corrupted by the abyss lord Baal Behemoth for three thousand years and then invaded by the Voidlings.

Then, the birth of the special group of World Awakeners, especially their extraordinary talent of being able to bypass world barriers and communicate directly across worlds, is the focus of the discussion.

Throughout his presentation, Ian highlighted the unique value of the world of Exoc.

He portrayed himself as a keen discoverer, a decisive pioneer, and a successful mediator.

As for the details of how to severely damage the Mother Nest, deal with the Summoners, and communicate with the World Will, they were glossed over or attributed to "luck" and clever tricks.

Aurelia listened quietly, her eyes sparkling.

Her pupils contracted slightly when she heard about fragments of the cosmic subconscious and communication that bypassed the barriers between worlds.

Morton had already pulled out a notebook, his magic pen flying as he jotted down keywords.

"Cosmic blind spot... shielding of the world's will perception... lossless communication across worlds..."

He wrote while muttering to himself, his breathing slightly rapid.

As a resource assessment expert, he knew all too well what these things meant.

After Ian finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the Moonlight Palace, broken only by the faint hum of the recording crystal.

"Morton." Aurelia didn't immediately respond, but instead looked at her deputy.

"Let's do a preliminary assessment."

Morton took a deep breath, closed his notebook, and his eyes gleamed.

"Your Excellency Speaker, gentlemen."

His voice was hoarse with excitement, but his thoughts were crystal clear.

"The strategic value of the world of Exoc... is extremely high, even surpassing most of the worlds we have already developed!"

"First, its 'cosmic blind spot' characteristic means that it is extremely difficult to detect by conventional means in the void."

"If a covert outpost or observation post were established within it, it would become an excellent 'intelligence sentinel' for the Alliance to monitor the surrounding void and provide early warning of invasions from the Abyss or the Zerg!"

"Second, the Awakener's talent and its origin: fragments of the cosmic subconscious."

Morton's speech quickened.

"This ability to bypass the perception of the world's will and directly establish cross-world connections..."

"If we can analyze and replicate it, and even apply it industrially."

"Then, all existing models of the wizarding civilization—including cross-world warfare, intelligence infiltration, resource plundering, and cultural exchange—will undergo a revolutionary breakthrough!"

"Costs will decrease dramatically, and efficiency will increase exponentially!"

A rare hint of fanaticism appeared on his face: "This is a cosmic-level fragment of the subconscious!"

"Its status far surpasses that of ordinary world-class treasures, involving the concealment and deception of underlying rules."

"Its research value cannot be measured by conventional resources!"

"Once we crack its underlying principles, we might be able to fully understand the perception mechanisms of any world, and even the mysteries of the underlying logic of the universe's rules!"

His analysis slightly moved both Serafina and Karendil.

They knew the world of Exok was special, but they never expected that its value would be so high in the eyes of the Alliance's professional evaluators.

Morton even proposed a bold concept: every world has its own will, that is, conscious awareness.

But the will of all worlds may very well share the same subconscious: the ocean of the cosmic subconscious.

The subconscious fragments of the Exoc world are just a piece of this sea of ​​subconsciousness.

The Awakener connects directly to the subconscious of the universe through fragments, thus bypassing the conscious control of the will of a single world.

This hypothesis is extremely imaginative.

If the existence of the subconscious ocean of the universe can be proven, then the wizard civilization will have found the underlying operating system of all worlds.

Mastering this operating system is equivalent to having administrator privileges over all worlds!

Of course, this is just Morton's assumption.

However, even with only initial contact, the anticipated applications already possess significant strategic value.

For example, core runes that shield the perception of the world can be extracted from the subconscious fragment structure.

Then, based on the differences in the rules of the target world, different versions of the [Blind Spot Rune] are developed.

Its applications are very wide. It can be used to carve [Blind Spot Runes] all over the body of the Wizard Tower, so that when it descends into another world, the world's will cannot see it.

The legion infiltrated, its soldiers equipping themselves with armor engraved with runes. The entire army silently slipped into another world, unnoticed by the world's will.

Strategic materials are smuggled out of the world, with runes engraved on the transport containers, allowing large amounts of resources to be transported out of the world without provoking a backlash from the global will.

A world-class intelligence node, deploying "beacons" engraved with runes in another world to establish a permanent, invisible world intelligence station.

……

Watching Morton speak fluently and eloquently, Ian couldn't help but sigh, "This is what a professional is like!"

He immediately thought of his wizard tower. If he could inscribe it with [Blind Spot Runes], he could take the entire tower and directly descend into another world...

This is the true arrival of all realms.

Aurelia listened quietly, pondered for a moment, then glanced at Ian and Ysera before her gaze settled on Seraphine.

"Your Majesty the Elf Queen, the Silvermoon Council has done its work as a bridge connecting the world of Exoc.

Her voice returned to calm.

"Based on the initial assessment of Deputy Director Morton and the statement of His Excellency Ian Marcus."

"In my capacity as the twelfth speaker of the Alliance Council, and the person in charge of civilization expansion and interdimensional affairs..."

A resolute glint flashed in her deep blue eyes.

"The world of Exoc meets all the basic requirements for joining the Wizarding Alliance, and its unique value is of great strategic significance to the development of the Alliance."

"On behalf of the Alliance Council, I formally welcome the world of Exoc to the wizarding civilization family!"

She made the final decision, sealing the future of the world of Exoc.

Ysera's body trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with an uncontrollable excitement.

The world of Exoc is finally saved! And it has found such a powerful backer!

Serafina and Karendil breathed a slight sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Although the Silvermoon Council does not hold the reins, Esok's joining the Alliance is a huge political asset for the ascending Sacred Tree and the Silvermoon Elves.

Aurelia announced the initial deployment and contractual framework.

As a military sanctuary, the Alliance will establish a permanent large-scale teleportation array in the world of Exoc and station a permanent legion led by a level 5 Moonlit Wizard, consisting of at least twenty level 4 Morning Stars and a large number of level 3 or higher wizards, to defend against possible counterattacks from the Zerg and the Abyss.

Resource assistance: The Alliance provides technical, material, and knowledge assistance to help the world of Exoc repair its damaged origins and rebuild its civilized order.

For research collaboration, the world of Exoc needs to grant the Alliance access to study its "cosmic blind spot" characteristics.

Talent management, including the Summoner's talent and its subsequent development, will be planned and managed uniformly by the Alliance's Interdimensional Affairs Department. Ysera will serve as the first liaison officer, responsible for coordination and communication.

In terms of political seats, the Exoc world enjoys a secondary councilor status within the Alliance...

"Lord Ian Marcus, your achievements as the explorer of the world of Exoc and your successful introduction of this world to the Alliance are truly remarkable."

Aurelia turned to Ian, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"According to the Alliance's New World Exploration Reward Regulations, you will receive an exploration reward commensurate with the value of the world of Exok."

"The specific amount will be determined and allocated by the Alliance Evaluation Committee after a detailed evaluation."

She said meaningfully, "This reward will definitely not disappoint you."

Ian bowed slightly, his expression tinged with excitement: "Thank you for the Alliance's fairness, and thank you for Speaker Aurelia's recognition."

This composure and confidence deepened Aurelia's admiration.

Ysera listened quietly, her eyes gleaming, memorizing the terms.

Military shelter, resource assistance, research cooperation... all of this far exceeded her initial expectations.

This is the attitude of a super civilization towards "new members"—there are rules and constraints, but even more so, there is a sincere desire to protect and support them.

She knew that the world of Exoc had truly been reborn.

Suddenly, a silver moon elf rushed in to report:

"Your Majesty, High Priest, the sacred tree... has blossomed!"

The group exchanged glances, then went outside together and looked up at the sky.

In a clear green sky, countless silvery-white flowers bloom on every leaf of the World Tree.

The fragrance of the flowers spread for miles, and everyone who smelled it felt a sense of clarity deep within their soul.

Azshara's promotion has entered its final sprint.

Good books and good stories accompany you every day.
