Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Hidden in the valley, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Within the space formed by multiple arrays, a small gray tower lay silently buried in the soil, without any disturbance.

Occasionally, small insects crawl around, but they automatically ignore the small tower, seemingly unaware of its existence.

Inside the training room, in front of Ian, there were fist-sized super-energy crystals and bottles of [Purple Soul Potion].

He picked up a super-energy crystal, guided the pure energy within, and slowly poured it into the depths of his spiritual sea.

The dual cores of the sun and moon rapidly devoured and transformed, the outer golden halo became even more intense, and the internal regular patterns became increasingly clear.

The data on the panel flickered at the edge of the field of view:

[Dual-core growth rate: 93.1%...93.3%...93.5%...]

Every small improvement is accompanied by a subtle expansion of the soul's origin, a deeper understanding of the rules, and an increase in the potential strength of the domain.

When the super-energy crystal's energy absorption temporarily reached saturation, Ian took out a drop of [Purple Soul Potion], tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

A familiar tingling and stinging sensation came over him, beginning to expand the structure of his soul, making the "foundation" of the Sun and Moon dual cores more solid and expansive.

The rotation speed of the sun and moon dual cores increased again, and the efficiency of the absorption crystal was further improved.

Time passed day by day.

Ian's aura became increasingly restrained and profound, like a volcano gathering power.

After hundreds of super-energy crystals were absorbed and ten drops of the [Purple Soul Potion] were used, the numbers on the panel finally jumped to a critical point: [Sun and Moon Dual Core Growth: 99%]

Morning Star Limit!

At this moment, within Ian's mental sea, the light of the sun and moon dual cores had condensed to its extreme.

The solar core is like a real star, radiating terrifying heat and light, while the lunar core is like a bright moon, slowly rotating around the solar core.

The capacity and strength of the soul have reached the theoretical pinnacle of a fourth-level morning star.

This final 1% is beyond the reach of ordinary energy accumulation; the soul must collapse again, transforming the intangible into the tangible, and condensing into a real "point mass".

In terms of rule control, it has also undergone a qualitative change from simply carrying out rules to altering and evolving them.

Within the realm of rules, he can change some rules in an instant, such as prohibiting flight, prohibiting fire, and imposing a hundred times the gravity...

While it cannot permanently change the rules like the Sun Wizard, it would still be a devastating blow to the Morning Star Wizard.

Ian slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within him and an unprecedentedly clear control over the rules.

"The path to the morning star has come to an end."

He muttered to himself, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, but mostly calmness.

Breaking through to the Moonlit Realm requires an opportunity, accumulation of experience, and a relatively safe and stable environment.

Moreover, he estimated that his breakthrough might be even more significant than that of an ordinary morning star, which wouldn't be possible in this starry world.

In addition to obtaining the method of faith conversion, which is of great value to the wizarding civilization, there is an even greater gain upon arriving in this world.

His gaze shifted to the Zerg plains, the scene now completely different from three months ago.

The once barren plains are now covered by a dense array of highly efficient biological structures.

At first glance, it seemed as if one had arrived at the lair of the Void Zerg, with hundreds of more efficient mixing chambers and hatching pools standing in a dense forest.

The entire plain was filled with a vibrant atmosphere, yet also exuded the cold order unique to the Zerg.

At this moment, Kerrigan floated silently in the form of a human goddess.

She still maintained her elegant appearance with black hair and a silver dress, but the originally colorless divine crystal on her forehead had transformed into a warm amber color.

The oppressive aura, belonging to the level of a medium-sized deity, silently enveloped the entire plain.

Below her, more than a hundred Level 4 "mother insects" of various shapes and sizes lay neatly prostrate.

They differ somewhat from ordinary Zerg queens; after being imbued with Kerrigan's divine power, their genetic templates have been further optimized.

These new fourth-level queens each possess an independent network of hives, yet are absolutely subservient to Kerrigan.

Moreover, they have more independent authority and can command a large Zerg army on their own to carry out complex tactical missions.

Their existence allowed Kerrigan's command structure to evolve from the previous two-tiered "Brood-Zerg" structure into a more efficient and flexible three-tiered pyramid structure of "Mother Goddess-Mother Commander-Zerg Forces".

The number of Zerg forces reached an astonishing figure: 20 million!

Furthermore, over 70% of them are genetically optimized combat units, making them even more powerful.

Examples include the "Destroyer," which has enhanced carapace and acid spray capabilities; the "Shadow Striker," which possesses short-range spatial teleportation abilities; the "Fortress Bug," with its thick carapace designed specifically for frontal assaults; and numerous purple hydras and Voidwarks serving as the backbone of the force.

Twenty million Zerg, not including the massive number of drones that serve as logistics and production units.

The power of faith they provide is pure and boundless, without any impurities, like a golden ocean that ceaselessly flows into the divine essence between Kerrigan's brows.

It was this massive nourishment of pure faith that allowed Kerrigan's artificial divine nature to leap from weak divine power to medium divine power in just three months.

Ian was thrilled. Intermediate divine power corresponds to the Sun Throne in the wizarding world!

Even disregarding his own strength, Kerrigan's current ability to mobilize power has already firmly placed her among the upper-level deities of the Star Sea God Court.

Of course, true combat power also involves many aspects such as the breadth of divine authority, divine artifacts, and combat experience, but the foundation has already been laid.

This is the biggest and most unexpected gain Ian has made since he arrived at the Star Sea Divine Court!

A "Zerg God" who is completely under his control, possesses the power of the Sun Throne, and can snowball his army!

Kerrigan slowly opened her eyes, the previous coldness gone, replaced by a divine majesty.

She felt Ian's gaze and bowed slightly.

"Master, your divine power has been stabilized at the intermediate divine power stage. The Zerg army has completed its reorganization and expansion and is ready to be deployed into battle at any time."

Her voice became ethereal and calm as she continued to report on the results.

"Based on the current resource and faith production rates, maintaining the current scale is the optimal solution. If we need to continue massing troops, we need to acquire new stable resource points."

Ian's consciousness swept over Kerrigan, sensing the immense power of the rules.

"Very good." Ian affirmed her plan. "Then maintain the status quo, continue to digest the accumulated knowledge, and optimize the divine magic system. Your growth has exceeded my expectations."

"Yes, Master." A hint of satisfaction flashed in Kerrigan's eyes.

For her, increasing her power would allow her to better serve her master; this was the highest command rooted in her soul contract and the instincts of the Zerg.

Ian turned his attention away from the Zerg plains and refocused on the current predicament.

The Path of Morning Star has reached its limit, and Kerrigan has also completed a crucial breakthrough; this place is no longer of much value to him.

Continuing to stay would be risky, as the Bright Continent is the core area of ​​the Star Sea Divine Court, and the long-term disappearance of the "Graceful Ones" would inevitably arouse suspicion from higher levels of the church.

He needs to return to the Wizarding World to digest all the gains from this trip and prepare for breaking through to the fifth level of the Radiant Moon.

At the same time, he will also hand over the secret of faith conversion to the higher-ups of the alliance, which is of great value to the Wizarding Alliance.

But how can we cross the dimensional barrier and connect with the wizarding world?

Ian pondered for a moment, and a plan took shape in his mind.

He got up and began to act. First, he reinforced the barrier with several more layers to ensure that no energy fluctuations could be transmitted.

Then, inside the barrier, he began to construct a small, complex magic array.

This magic array does not directly connect to the wizarding world, but rather further enhances his soul connection ability based on the Myriad Realms Descent Technique.

The target was none other than his other projection, Wei Song, who resided in the Xuanhuang World.

The Xuanhuang World is located on the edge of the Star Sea Divine Court, and Wei Song, as his projection, shares the same soul origin, making the connection the most secretive, stable, and with the least fluctuation.

Using Wessun as a relay station to contact Azshara is the safest option.

Ian focused intently as he embedded pieces of rare materials—used to stabilize the soul channels and shield against interference—into the array's core.

This enhanced communication spell combines his research on subconscious runes, some techniques from divine arts, and traditional wizarding knowledge of space and soul.

Several hours later, a complex witch formation with a diameter of only three meters was formed.

At the core of the formation, Ian directly sacrificed a level-four soul crystal, the massive soul energy of which could briefly penetrate the dimensional barrier.

He took a deep breath, activated the formation, and simultaneously focused all his attention into the depths of his soul, following the shared connection with the projection, and transmitted a thought containing a wealth of information to it.

In the message, Ian clearly marked his location so that the other party could easily pinpoint it.

He also detailed the commotion he had recently caused and briefly explained the secrets of his faith.

He instructed Wei Song to immediately contact World Tree Azshara, relay this information, and request the Alliance to reopen the temporary dimensional portal to guide him back.

Once the information transmission was complete, Ian immediately severed the connection and put the array into a standby state with minimal power consumption.

The entire process was brief and secretive, and the resulting fluctuations were weakened and distorted by layers of arrays, making it almost impossible for outsiders to detect.

Now, all he can do is wait.

A world of mystery and wonder.

Wei Song, who was dealing with his daily affairs, suddenly paused. Deep in his soul, a connection that had been dormant for a long time was gently stirred, and then a huge flow of information surged into his consciousness.

He quickly processed this information, his expression gradually becoming quite interesting.

"The main body... is incredibly audacious, even creating a Zerg god with mid-level divine power?"

Wei Song was shaken, but more than that, he felt excited and understood.

This is very much in line with the original's style of doing things; without realizing it, things will get bigger and bigger.

Without any delay, he immediately went to the depths of the secret chamber and activated the encrypted communication array with Silvermoon Highlands.

"Emergency communication, requesting direct contact with Lady Azshara." Wei Song injected the authorization verification and emergency marker into the magic circle.

A moment later, the magic circle glowed with a soft emerald light, and Azshara's phantom slowly coalesced.

She seemed to have just stepped away from something, a hint of inquiry in her emerald eyes.

"Wei Song? What's the matter that's so urgent?"

"Lord Azshara," Wei Song bowed respectfully, then quickly relayed all of Ian's information, emphasizing the secret of faith conversion.

Azshara listened quietly, a hint of surprise flashing across her face at first, then turning into deep thought, and finally her eyes widened, revealing an incredulous expression.

"I see..." Azshara murmured to herself, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The Star Sea Divine Court's recent unusual retreat at the border and its sudden hardline stance towards the Zerg have led the few Hao Ri to suspect that the other side has some kind of conspiracy, and they are on guard.

So that's where the root of the problem lies.

"What a clever move by Ian Marcus! He quietly gave us all a 'surprise'."

She looked at Wei Song and said, "Tell Ian to hide where he is. The Alliance will reopen the temporary passage to his location as quickly as possible."

She still needs to discuss the specific timing and signal for the reception with the other throne holders.

"Understood!" Wei Song replied solemnly.

The next moment, deep within the Supreme Alliance's headquarters on the Central Continent, a verdant light shone from a hall with only seven thrones.

Immediately afterwards, the blazing light of the furnace, the deep light of the starry sky, the heavy golden dragon breath, and the ethereal light of destiny... all lit up one after another.

The projections of the wills of the seven Sun Thrones have gathered once again.

"Gentlemen," Azshara's voice rang out, carrying a rare hint of relaxation, "I am already aware of the reasons behind the recent movements of the Star Sea Divine Court."

She then shared Ian's information with the other six throne holders.

A brief silence fell over the hall.

Immediately, the War King Braum let out a loud laugh.

"Hahaha! Good lad! I knew he wouldn't stay put! He ran into the Divine Court's lair, ate four divine avatars like tonics, and even cracked the faith conversion method. This audacity and these methods are just my cup of tea!"

Orensor, the Golden Dragon, said with a hint of helplessness, "So, all our previous precautions, simulations, and tests... were actually all for naught?"

"That's not how it works," said the great scholar Orion, stroking his beard, his eyes gleaming.

"This unexpected outcome is to our advantage. With the Star Sea Divine Court shifting its main focus to the Void Zerg, the pressure on our borders will be reduced, and we will even have more room to maneuver."

"The key is the method of faith conversion that Ian mentioned, which has greater strategic value. You know, we have quite a few war legions in our Wizard Tower."

"The most urgent task is to safely bring him back," Azshara concluded.

"The information he carries is extremely important and cannot be compromised in any way. I propose that we open another temporary passage to directly locate the coordinates he provided and bring him back to the Wizarding World."

I second that.

"Can."

……

The will of the seven Sun Thrones was quickly united.

A new rescue operation was quietly launched, this time to bring back Ian, who had made great contributions, on his own.

As for the other three genius wizards who were on a mission, the Thrones also wanted to bring them back, but their coordinates were unknown, so they had to give up for the time being.

After waiting for about a day, Ian finally received a short message through a small communication spell array, containing clear spacetime coordinates and precise time.

A glint flashed in Ian's eyes. "The passage is about to open... It's time to go back."

He quickly got up and began to clear all traces from the valley, burning anything that might be tracked.

Then they quietly left the valley and sped off toward the coordinates specified in the message.
