Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

The Tower of Eternity, the Rules Training Chamber.

The interplay of gold, red, and silver light faded, and all the energy and fluctuations of the rules converged and gathered.

Ian sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and deep within his mind, a qualitative change was taking place.

[Dual-core growth rate: 100%]

When the numbers on the panel freeze, the accumulated essence of the soul and understanding of the rules are suddenly released.

At its core, a pure and primordial essence of the soul is collapsing and condensing inward.

"Condensing the soul's essence, escaping the void, and transforming into substance..." Ian was perfectly clear-headed at this moment, carefully guiding this crucial step.

His consciousness sank to the deepest part of his spiritual sea, feeling every pulse of the sun and moon cores, and his soul's origin began to change under immense pressure.

Deep within the Tower of Eternity, a vast source of magic connected to the roots of the World Tree emitted a deep hum.

Vast and pure energy was extracted and flowed into the rules training room through the pre-set rune channels inside the tower, providing a continuous source of power for Ian's soul transformation.

Compress, compress again… condense, condense again…

Time seemed to have lost its meaning.

After an unknown amount of time, the essence of the soul suddenly contracted inward, and a point of golden light appeared.

It was incredibly small, yet it filled the entire spiritual sea, containing the secrets of all of Ian's rules, and transcending the boundaries of matter and energy.

The essence of the soul condenses into a form, and spiritual power is no longer an ethereal extension of perception.

He can easily detach from his physical body and exist independently in the void, using his "soul particle" as the core, to wield the power of rules.

As long as the particle remains intact, even if the physical body is destroyed, his consciousness will not dissipate and can be quickly reshaped or transferred through a pre-prepared "container" (such as the core of the Wizard Tower).

After that, unless he encounters an entity capable of annihilating "soul particles" or encounters certain extreme rules targeting the soul, no means below level five can harm him.

This is one of the sources of the Moonlit Wizard's near-immortality.

"The most important step is complete." Ian remained calm; the advancement was not yet over.

The soul particle is merely the core, the engine. Next, a powerful "rule-based body" needs to be fitted to this engine.

With a slight thought, the super-energy crystals piled around him automatically flew up one by one, then shattered silently, transforming into the purest energy streams that surged into his spiritual sea.

The soul particle is like a miniature black hole, greedily devouring this high-quality energy.

Soon, the two cores of the sun and moon, which had collapsed to almost nothing, began to expand again.

A more solid and larger golden-red sun, with the soul particle at its core, slowly rose in the sea of ​​spirit.

Its diameter is an astonishing five thousand kilometers!

The surface of the corona burned with crimson-gold flames, while the nuclear fusion reaction inside became even more violent, and the rules of gravity, heat energy, and purification were further strengthened.

Immediately afterwards, a crescent moon with a diameter of a thousand miles, like a loyal satellite, began to slowly revolve around the newborn sun.

The moonlight is sometimes cool and clear, sometimes dazzlingly red. It forms a perfect gravitational balance with the sun, together constituting a stable and powerful "miniature celestial system".

【Dual Core of Sun and Moon, Shining Moon Form】!

As the new sun and moon emerged in the sea of ​​consciousness, Ian felt a qualitative leap in his control over the rules.

Without any deliberate prompting, the rules naturally spread throughout the domain.

With the amplification of the Eternal Tower, a massive spherical domain with a radius of 500,000 kilometers enveloped the entire Silvermoon Highlands.

At the very core, with a radius of approximately 100,000 kilometers, Ian had even greater authority.

With a slight thought, gravity suddenly increased a thousandfold in a certain core area, and the air was instantly compressed into a liquid state.

In another place, the temperature soared to tens of thousands of degrees; in yet another place, the propagation of light was distorted, creating an absolute blind spot.

He can even define the flow of energy on a small scale, making chaotic energy orderly, or causing orderly energy to descend into chaos...

This is no longer simply about manipulating or influencing the rules, but about defining and modifying them.

Although the scope and duration are limited by his own power, and he cannot permanently change the underlying rules like the Sun Wizard, it is still a devastating blow to enemies below level five.

After breaking through to level five, the golden soul's control over the rules soared, and even a casual strike carried the attribute of annihilation.

Ian sat quietly in the training room, adapting to the surge of power and familiarizing himself with the changes in the particles and the new Sun and Moon dual cores.

As the morning sun once again shines upon Silvermoon Highlands, the gates of the Tower of Eternity open silently.

Ian walked out slowly, still wearing that simple gray robe, but his whole demeanor was different.

Its aura remained deep and restrained, but it possessed a profound and imposing weight, as if it were subtly resonating with the surrounding heaven and earth.

"Ian!" A squealing scream rang out as she pounced on him.

"Lord Ian!" Little Emma called out excitedly, her eyes filled with joy.

"I did it." Ian smiled and nodded, feeling the genuine joy of the two little ones.

Almost simultaneously, dozens of figures flew in from all parts of Moon God Peak.

Elf Queen Serafina and High Priest Karendil arrived together, their gazes toward Ian filled with complex emotions.

The commotion surrounding Ian's promotion and the aura he exuded at that moment made them realize that the chief elder's strength had probably surpassed theirs.

Adele and Ysera followed closely behind, their faces beaming with undisguised excitement and pride.

Ian's successful advancement to the fifth level of Radiant Moon signifies a more secure backing and a broader path ahead.

"Congratulations, Elder Marcus, on your successful advancement to Level 5 Radiant Moon!" Serafina's clear voice conveyed sincere congratulations.

Karendil nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his aged face: "The Silvermoon Council has gained another Pillar of Radiant Moon, which is a cause for great joy."

Soon, more high-ranking members of the Silvermoon Council, elven elders familiar with Ian, family members who had heard the news, and representatives of other forces gathered near Mount Moon to offer their congratulations.

Ian's promotion to Silvermoon as Chief Elder is not only a personal breakthrough for him, but also a significant boost to the overall strength of the Silvermoon Council, which will further expand its influence.

Ian responded calmly, thanking everyone for their congratulations with a dignified yet respectful attitude, maintaining the authority of the chief elder without being impolite.

The noise lasted for most of the day before the crowd gradually dispersed.

"Ian, come to me," Azshara's voice rang out.

Ian nodded to Serafina and Karendil, then, with Gaga clinging to him, vanished in a flash.

Azshara gestured to the wicker chair beside her, her expression serious. "Sit."

"Your promotion comes at the perfect time. The Alliance's preparations for war against the Void Race have entered the final stage. At most two months later, the all-out war will begin."

Ian's eyes narrowed: "So fast?"

Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt a sense of urgency when I heard the exact time.

"The Zerg Queen Bervis is becoming increasingly active, and the Alliance cannot wait for her to be ready."

Azshara said in a deep voice, "The area around your Purple Mist World will be the front line, and we need to strengthen the defenses as soon as possible."

Ian nodded: "I made some general arrangements when I came back. After this promotion, we can start upgrading the Wizard Tower and accelerate Kerrigan's expansion."

Aisa waved her hand, and several items appeared in the air in front of Ian.

"This is your reward for your mission to the Star Sea Divine Court. The Alliance has approved it and delivered it to me."

First, there is a rhombus-shaped crystal with seven-colored shimmering light, containing the complete knowledge of a level five wizard tower, which is priceless.

Secondly, there were three colorless, transparent crystals radiating gentle, regulated fluctuations—level six, attribute-less regulated crystals. Some had already been mentioned in the mission rewards; this time, all of them were delivered. They were remarkably effective in stabilizing the Radiant Moon Realm and accelerating comprehension of the rules.

Next are ten fist-sized Void Origin Stones, used to expand and stabilize the Void Energy Pool of the Wizard Tower, and are one of the key materials for upgrading the Wizard Tower's energy system.

There is also an access token, which stores up to two million Alliance Contribution Points, as well as corresponding exchange catalogs and reading permissions for some more advanced knowledge.

Finally, there was a dark, unremarkable stone.

"This is a complete World Core, and a World Core from a mid-level world, as an extra reward for your mission."

Ian's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes suddenly burned with desire. This single World Core was worth all the previous rewards.

If he absorbs and refines it himself, the Sun and Moon Dual Cores will be greatly enhanced, and his soul pressure will carry a trace of Level 6 power.

If it were fused into the Wizard's Tower, not only would the internal space expand dozens of times, but the void boundary would also become incredibly solid, accelerating the growth of the World Tree...

"Keep these safe, they are all rightfully yours," Azshara said.

"Especially that world core, make use of it as soon as possible. Once the war starts, there won't be time for you to slowly digest it."

"Thank you, sir." Ian put away the rewards one by one, quickly planning the next steps in his mind.

Ian left the Emerald Dream without delay.

He first used the teleportation array set up by the Silver Moon Council to return to the Purple Mist World. Of course, there was no longer any purple mist around the planet.

Ian released all the Zerg, causing the world's will to tremble and sense the powerful aura emanating from Kerrigan.

Kerrigan maintained her human goddess form, and although she deliberately concealed her aura of moderate divine power, the divine might she unintentionally revealed was still terrifying.

After months of quiet development, the Zerg population has grown significantly, and their unit types have become more complete.

"Master!" Kerrigan bowed respectfully.

"Kerrigan, war is imminent. The Purple Mist World is a vital stronghold for us, and also the front line of the war."

He wanted Kerrigan to transform this place, using the mountains as a foundation to establish a permanent Zerg hive, utilizing the world's resources to mass produce troops, optimize unit types, and build defensive lines.

Ian's goal is to make this place a colossal world fortress in the event of war.

"This is also a springboard for the alliance's attacks. If necessary, I will provide direct support to you through the Wizard Tower."

"Yes, Master!" Kerrigan's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"I will build this place into the strongest fortress, and cultivate the most ferocious people. The flesh and blood of the Zerg on the other side will become the nourishment for my growth!"

Ian nodded, leaving behind the resources he had plundered from the Star Sea Divine Court, and returned to Silvermoon Highlands via the teleportation array.

Time was of the essence; he had to begin upgrading the Tower of Eternity immediately.

At the summit of Luna Peak, Ian loaded the upgrade core blueprint into the tower spirit. The massive data stream began to be analyzed, detailing the upgrade steps, material list, rune array, and more...

The first step is to expand and stabilize the energy system by using Void Originium to increase the capacity and efficiency of the energy pool in order to support greater energy consumption.

Next is the upgrade of the rule amplification matrix, which requires a more complex Moonlit Rune array to increase the amplification of the rule domain by twenty times.

Furthermore, the tower structure has been strengthened and the space folding has been optimized to further enhance the tower's defensive strength and optimize the internal space folding technology.

He ultimately decided to melt the core of the world into the Wizard Tower, expanding the demiplane's area to accommodate a potentially larger Zerg army or resource reserves.

Finally, the weapon system and detection array were upgraded, enhancing the power and range of the Void Annihilation Cannon's main weapon and improving the accuracy and anti-jamming capabilities of the detection array.

This is a systematic project that requires a lot of time, effort, and supporting materials.

Fortunately, the Alliance and the Silvermoon Council had already prepared the materials, and Ian himself had also stockpiled a lot of rare resources.

He immediately directed the Tower Spirits and the elite team of craftsmen sent by the Alliance to upgrade the hardware and lay out the runes according to the blueprint.

On the other hand, he himself was immersed in the newly acquired advanced knowledge.

In particular, the application of rules at the Moonlit level, the principles of large-scale war magic arrays, and the Alliance's latest research findings on the Zerg.

He needed to upgrade the Tower of Eternity into a true Level 5 war fortress as quickly as possible, while also integrating his newly acquired knowledge to prepare for the impending storm of war.
