Silvermoon Highlands, deep within a demiplane.

This is no longer the verdant plains where Ian first set foot, but a place where the rules manifest.

There is no sky, no earth, no boundary between light and darkness.

A ball of light floats silently, its interior woven with nine rules that create a dazzling array of colors.

This is Azshara's immortal soul after ascending to the Sun!

Space distorted slightly, and Azshara's figure materialized, still exuding an air of elegance and maturity.

"You've arrived." Azshara's voice rang directly in Ian's mind.

Ian bowed slightly: "Congratulations, sir, on advancing to the Radiant Sun Realm."

Azshara's aura was even deeper and more stable than when she first ascended, and she had completely merged with the rules of this world.

"We don't need to do this, sit down."

She slightly raised her hand, and two chairs woven from emerald vines grew out of thin air.

She sat down first, her emerald green eyes looking at Ian with a hint of emotion and inquiry.

"Do you know why I was able to get promoted so smoothly?"

Ian sat down opposite him, pondering for a moment: "You have accumulated a foundation of hundreds of thousands of years..."

"Not only." Azshara shook her head gently, her long hair rippling in the void.

"Accumulation is just the foundation, and binding is the necessary condition, but what really made my promotion so smooth was the crystallization of the source that you brought back."

Her gaze fell on Ian. "They gave me a large enough and pure fuel at the moment of my breakthrough."

"Otherwise, just condensing an immortal soul would consume most of my resources; how could I possibly solidify the domain immediately?"

Ian secretly noted this down. It turned out that the Origin Crystal had such a wonderful use, allowing her to exceed her promotion expectations and immediately display the power of the Sun.

"Only after advancing to the Sun God realm did I truly understand how the wizarding civilization operated."

Azshara lamented, "As the World Tree born in the Void, if I remain there forever, I will always be just a tree."

"But if I were to merge into the wizarding world, I could become a forest."

Her gaze pierced through the void, as if she could see into the distant future.

"I returned from the Wizarding Alliance yesterday, reviewed some core documents, and learned some higher-level information."

Azshara's tone became serious. "First and foremost, it's about other civilizations."

"The Wizarding Civilization currently controls dozens of world clusters, but in the endless void, there are at least three other civilizations of the same level as us that are also constantly expanding."

"One of the civilizations, called the 'Starry Sea Divine Court,' recently had a conflict with us on a certain edge world."

"Although a full-blown conflict has not yet broken out, the situation has already become tense."

Ian's pupils contracted slightly. The Starry Sea Divine Court? He had been exposed to it at too low a level before and had never heard of this civilization.

"Secondly, it concerns the Voidlings." A hint of seriousness flashed in Azshara's eyes.

"According to the Alliance's most core data, the Void Queen Bervis of the Zerg is... at a level higher than a level seven True Spirit Wizard."

She deliberately lowered her voice, as if afraid of being overheard.

"He is also one of the highest-level threats to wizarding civilization."

Ian's heart skipped a beat. It had surpassed the seventh level of True Spirit?!

No wonder the Void Queen almost obliterated him with just a wisp of her will when she was enslaving the Mother Insect.

"I joined the alliance yesterday, officially establishing my position as the seventh throne."

Azshara looked at Ian, her gaze deep.

"Every sun is a node in the expansion of civilization, and has the obligation to open up new worlds for civilization and acquire resources and knowledge."

"But in return, the Alliance grants the Sun Throne a core power: the right to grant fiefdoms."

"We can bestow the small and medium-sized worlds we have conquered upon our subordinates as their private territories."

"Each day of the sun can be granted a maximum of five such territories."

"And I have obtained the Alliance's approval to make the two middle worlds direct territories of the Silvermoon Council."

Ian was shocked again. The Alliance was really generous. Perhaps it was this policy that prompted those Suns to keep exploring the Void.

Azshara looked at Ian with sparkling eyes.

"The Silvermoon Council is a force I built from scratch, and I need more strong individuals who can stand on their own."

"I appoint you as the Chief Elder of the Silvermoon Council, second only to me in rank, alongside Serafina and Karendil."

"You want to build a wizard's tower? You can use the Silvermoon Council's resources as you see fit."

"I still have a world in my hands..."

Azshara paused deliberately, looking at Ian, who looked nervous, with a smile in her eyes.

"I will grant you this as your private territory, but of course, the exploration and development of the world will be your own responsibility."

"But if you can successfully conquer that world, it will be yours."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire vacuum of rules fell silent.

Ian sat in the wicker chair, his breath hitched for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise.

He didn't really care about that world, but he couldn't show it.

He cared more about the position of Chief Elder of the Silvermoon Council, standing alongside the Elf King and the High Priest!

This means that he will leap to become the core decision-making body of the seventh top power in the Central Continent.

The magnitude of this identity leap is practically like riding a rocket!

It also comes with a promise of a private world territory, which he needs to explore and conquer himself, but it is a world that can be made public and is entirely his own.

Ian did not accept it immediately. He sat quietly, golden light swirling deep in his pupils as he quickly analyzed the meaning, responsibility, and risks behind it.

Azshara didn't urge him, but just watched him quietly.

She knew that this young man was far more composed and cautious than he appeared.

After a long while, Ian slowly raised his head, his eyes regaining their calm. "Thank you for your trust and kindness, sir."

He did not refuse, but went straight to the practical issues.

"I am very happy to accept the position of Chief Elder, but there are a few small requests that require the assistance of the Silvermoon Council."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Azshara's eyes. She remained calm and composed, focusing on practical matters first—this was the proper attitude for getting things done.

"Tell me about it."

Ian nodded his thanks and began to explain earnestly.

"I need the Silvermoon Council's assistance in setting up several stable inter-world teleportation arrays to connect Anoria and the Eastern Frontier."

At this point, Ian looked a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"In addition, I came across a world by chance while exploring the void, and I also want to bring them to the Wizarding Continent."

"These people will be the foundation for me to build the wizard's tower and manage the territory."

Azshara looked at Ian, and after a while, slowly nodded.

"Yes, the Silvermoon Council will set up a permanent teleportation array for you, connecting these three areas."

"Thank you, sir. I need the support of the Silvermoon Council's construction wizards and craftsmen, which may require some basic materials."

Azshara nodded again: "I will have Kyrendir coordinate it personally."

Ian was secretly pleased; with so many people helping to build the wizard's tower, the time would be greatly shortened.

"I think we must be at the forefront of further research on fragments of the cosmic subconscious; there will definitely be tremendous changes in the future."

A glint flashed in Azshara's eyes.

"It seems Alleria has already spoken with you. Your proposal is excellent and far-sighted. The Silvermoon Council's Rune Library is now fully open to you."

Ian rose to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

Azshara nodded, her emerald eyes flickering slightly, as if sensing something.

A moment later, a smile appeared on her lips. "That little guy next to you has good potential."

She raised her right hand, and a point of pure blackness appeared out of thin air.

The black spot rapidly expanded, transforming into a fist-sized, jet-black, heart-shaped crystal.

Shadow Heart, a top-tier resource with level 4 Shadow attribute!

Azshara handed the Shadow Heart to Ian, saying, "Take this as a little gift for the little guy to keep me company."

Ian took it; it was icy cold to the touch, like holding a piece of ancient ice, yet containing a violent shadow energy within.

"I thank you on its behalf, sir." He put away the Shadow Heart.

"Since you intend to build a wizard's tower..."

Azshara suddenly stood up, walked towards the emerald orb, placed her hand on its surface, and softly chanted.

With a soft hum, the chains representing the earth and space trembled slightly.

Then one end of the chain flew out of the ball of light and disappeared into the void.

On the outskirts of the Silvermoon Highlands, a Moon God Peak, thousands of meters high and shrouded in moonlight and mist year-round, suddenly trembled slightly.

At the base of the mountain, the rock strata silently cracked, and a World Tree root, tens of meters thick, emerged from the depths of the earth's crust and sank deep into the core of Luna Peak.

The roots, with their regular silvery-white patterns, blend seamlessly into the entire mountain peak.

"I extended one of my vital roots to the base of Mount Luna." Azshara withdrew her hand and looked at Ian.

"That will be where you build your wizard tower, and this root will provide a permanent anchor of rules for your wizard tower."

"As long as I am still in Wizarding Continent, your Wizarding Tower will never be torn apart by spatial turbulence."

Her voice carried a hint of solemnity.

"You help me advance to the Radiant Sun level, and I'll give you a wizard tower foundation that can grow to level six."

Ian was deeply moved; this return gift was more precious than any resource.

With a radiant root of a World Tree of the Sun level as its anchor, his Wizard Tower stood at the pinnacle starting point that countless Morning Stars dreamed of from the very beginning.

Azshara gave him too much; it was too much for him to handle, and he needed to give something back.

"In the Shadow World, I once encountered a Mother Tree of Eternal Night that was 100,000 years old. It seemed to be deeply bound to the rules of the Shadow, but its state was somewhat special."

Azshara's emerald eyes suddenly lit up, and her voice was no longer calm.

"The Mother Tree of Eternal Night? Ten thousand years?!"

That was a life as ancient as hers, but one that walked a path of shadows and nothingness.

"If I could establish a connection with it, or even integrate some of its rules..."

Azshara's eyes flashed as she rapidly calculated something.

"This news is extremely valuable!"

She looked at Ian and said solemnly, "Once I have fully stabilized my realm, I will personally go to the Shadow World."

"If all goes well, my rule system will be greatly expanded."

Ian nodded, explaining that he had provided this information with the intention of further strengthening his connection with Azshara.

In retrospect, the results have exceeded expectations.

……

Ian left the demiplane, holding the Heart of Shadow in his hand.

"Ian." A dark figure darted out from the shadow of the branches and landed on Ian's shoulder.

Gaga stared intently at the Shadow Heart, drooling almost dripping onto Ian's shoulder.

"Is this for me?" The little guy's voice was distorted.

Consuming it is enough to allow it to complete its final bloodline transformation and truly enter the fourth-level Morning Star stage!

Ian chuckled and flicked its little head.

"Who else would I give it to? Go absorb and evolve it, don't embarrass me."

"I'm sure I can succeed!" Gaga snatched the Shadow Heart in its mouth and turned to disappear into the shadows.

"Little one, wait a minute." Azshara's voice came from the void.

Immediately afterwards, a tiny spatial rift unfolded in front of Gaga.

On the other side of the crack was a small space filled with dense shadow energy.

"Your promotion environment is somewhat special, go here." Azshara's voice was gentle.

Gaga grunted gratefully and, without further hesitation, plunged headfirst into the spatial rift.

Ian stood on the tree trunk, gazing into the distance, his gaze piercing through layers of space, looking towards Anoria, the Eastern Realm, and the Xuanhuang World…

"Next, it's time to gather everyone together."

He muttered to himself, a look of anticipation in his eyes.
