Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 281 [281] Black Steel Metal, Witchcraft Advances Simultaneously

Passing through the entrance to the ruins, you will appear at the feet of a giant wizard statue.

Wang Ya tried again, using the Eye of Truth to see through things, but still got no results.

What kind of methods could prevent even the Eye of Truth from seeing through them?

Just like a reset, the marked points are the statues.

He frowned, his gaze falling on the enormous statue before him. If he were to leave the dream world, he would soon face the water pressure at a depth of 30,000 meters and the potential dangers posed by the ruins.

The six wizard puppets might also trigger his presence, with unknown consequences.

The advantage is that you can enter the analytical state through the Eye of Truth.

Even if there were any secrets, they couldn't escape Wang Ya's eyes.

His hand unconsciously touched the gold pocket watch on his chest.

In a 24-hour reversal, he can appear directly on the glacier.

Only 40 minutes have passed so far.

Without the aid of the dream world and Harak, the difficulty and time required to descend to the 30,000-meter-deep seabed from reality would be unacceptable to Wang Ya.

The gate to another world disappeared, but Wang Ya could still sense its presence.

As long as you have a thought and release the particle energy in your body, once you sense the fluctuations in the energy flow, the gate to another world will appear directly.

Wang Ya made up his mind and cut off the supply of pure dream power. The world of colors and lines that had stabilized before him began to crack.

Click!

Wang Ya's figure appeared in reality. In just an instant, a large amount of seawater squeezed in, which would kill even a beast king instantly, turning its internal organs into a bloody mess.

Chi Chi!

As water vapor evaporates and the radiation temperature reaches terrifying levels, a shield of incineration particle energy is formed as the incineration particle energy explodes.

Standing on the real plaza ground, the hundred-meter-tall wizard statue is even clearer, as if the hazy ripples of color have been removed.

Reality is reality. Without the strangeness and uncertainty of the dream world, the Eye of Truth operates instantly, and information within a hundred meters is constantly scanned and analyzed with the support of the algorithm database.

With the immense consumption of particle energy within his body, the need to resist such terrifying water pressure, and the potential dangers posed by the ancient ruins, led Wang Ya to determine a safe exploration period of two hours.

[Hint: Extraordinary fluctuations detected, particle energy fluctuations, witch array cycle fluctuations... The 100-meter-tall wizard statue is entirely made of black steel. The right hand part contains a large amount of rule power aura. According to the database comparison, the probability of it being the Book of All Things is 52%... Scan completed. Would you like to proceed with a deeper analysis...?]

While the dream world is safe and some environmental dangers are ignored, it cannot detect subtle fluctuations.

Good and bad are relative; it all depends on when and how you use them, and how well you use them.

The ancient ruins' shamanic array is extremely well hidden, and the surrounding environment also plays a role. Even some formal shamans might not be able to sense it when they come here. At least with Wang Ya's sensitivity, he didn't notice anything unusual.

Wang Ya's expression changed, and her pupils contracted; it seemed impossible to analyze her expression.

His appearance seemed to trigger something. The six figures standing at the entrance of the ruins walked towards him. Although their speed was slow, it was as if they had measured the length of the path, with no difference of even a centimeter.

The abilities and methods of the wizard puppets of the legendary era are unknown to anyone. Some mad wizards even loaded them with a large number of runes that sublimated witchcraft, turning the wizard puppets into a mobile army of witchcraft cannons.

They even created an entire wizard puppet conquest legion, conquering and crushing world after world, using every available resource like locusts, and then creating even more wizard puppets.

Only wizards of that era could afford to use ebony metal for their entire bodies.

However, compared to the path of the mechanical wizard, the puppet wizard path relies more on talent, and creating puppets is too troublesome.

Those who truly popularized the troop-rush tactic were blood wizards and mechanical wizards who studied flesh and blood and biological organisms.

Flesh and blood are worthless; genetic mutations, coupled with a certain amount of particle energy, allow for rapid growth, which can then be applied in warfare.

The Wizard Loading Factory of the Mechanical Wizard can manufacture various mechanical assistants and automated intelligent weapons like a wholesale business.

What a nuisance!

Wang Ya frowned, and the four-colored luster in his pupils intensified. He actually chose to forcibly analyze the giant hundred-meter-tall statue.

They didn't care about the hidden dangers of the six wizard puppets.

According to Wang Ya's judgment, the fact that the statue always returned to the 100-meter-tall wizard statue proved that it might be the core of everything.

The aura of the power of rules was present in the right hand of the statue. Wang Ya was somewhat surprised. He had initially thought that the ancient, huge book was just made of special material, like the statue.

In the extraordinary world, the size of matter can be changed, and it is reasonable that the Book of All Things can grow larger.

[Target: A 100-meter-tall wizard statue]

[Detailed analysis: Analyzing the internal structure of the wizard statue, whether there are hidden dangers, whether the Book of All Things is real, and whether the power of the rules can be activated...]

[Analysis Level: Triple Computing Power]

Estimated analysis time: 3 hours

Rather than analyzing it, it's more like checking whether the Book of All Things can be obtained and whether the power of rules exists within the Book of All Things.

This isn't too difficult for the Eye of Truth; if there are unknown hidden dangers, it will most likely determine that it cannot be taken.

Wang Ya will also choose to enter the portal to another world and return to the wizarding world.

After all, the main goal is to advance to a formal wizard and achieve perfect balance.

The Heart of Harak, containing 108 fragments of rule power, can also provide considerable assistance to Wang Ya's [Experimental Preparation for Advancing to Level 4 Wizard].

The three-hour analysis time has already exceeded the two-hour security exploration time.

Wang Ya's gaze was fixed on the six figures in black robes, who were only about two hundred meters away from his location.

[Target: Unknown Wizard Puppet]

[Detailed analysis: Internal structure of the wizard puppet, its combat threat level, and related ability measurements.]

[Hint: It has been confirmed that the target's body is made of black steel, with a hardness capable of withstanding 100-degree energy magic, and possesses a first-level indestructible attribute. It possesses multiple core spells of sublimated magic, including: Floating Fire, Fiery Dragon Purgatory, Corrosive Poison Dragon Heart… The heart is constructed using a cyclical magic array, confirmed to be an ancient, high-level retrospective magic array, now lost…]

[Estimated combat strength: Formal Wizard level.]

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes. Because of the wizard puppets, the fighting style was too rigid, and only when the wizard puppets were manipulated and controlled by someone could they unleash their full power.

Also during the legendary period, they plundered the multiverse of space and brought back a wealth of technological knowledge, which led to the emergence of wizard puppets with intelligent systems.

It's stronger than the older generation of wizard puppets, but I don't know if this black steel puppet has a smart engine core loaded.

However, given the power and status of the Great Wizard of Deep Blue, even a wizard puppet should be stronger.

Ancient texts record that in the legendary era, the wizard puppets, when used in mass troop tactics, were only considered to be at the captain level, even though they were actually wizard-level puppets.

Wang Yadu planned to use the Dream Mirror to entangle them, consuming the accumulated pure dream power to bewitch these mindless, cold creations.

If that's all there is to it... The Dream Mirror emerges from the void, its yellow light shining through the darkness, revealing a unique, dreamlike passageway, shimmering with iridescent colors.

The six figures did not react at all, walked straight in, and finally disappeared into the passageway.

Wang Ya raised an eyebrow, somewhat disappointed. "It seems to be the oldest wizard puppet, perhaps the most backward product of the wizard puppet army. It doesn't involve any technological intelligence, and even the spiritual soul under the soul transmission technology has not produced any intelligent judgment enhancement for the wizard puppet."

"Ultimately, it's been too long, and following specific procedures has taken away the ability to think critically."

It could become one of Wang Ya's collectibles, and could be rated as a two-star superior item.

The passageway leads to the Land of Bubbles, which is Wang Ya's territory. With the advantage of the terrain, the six puppet creations, which have no consciousness or intelligent programming, can only blindly use attack magic and have no chance of breaking free.

Other forms of magic cannot be used in the dream world; only dream power and extraordinary mental power can be effective.

A wizard's bio-field and extraordinary nature can also influence the dream world.

Holding the Dream Mirror, Wang Ya looked at the image on the mirror. Six wizard puppets were wreaking havoc all over the Bubble Land. The magic array emitted light, but no special effects were produced.

Giant, multicolored trees sprouted their roots from deep within the earth, entwining the wizard's puppet.

Finally, it disappeared into the large pit that appeared in the ground, where the soil closed in and buried it.

If he were a true, formal wizard, Wang Ya would certainly not have let him into the Dream Territory so easily.

Unfortunately, it's just a tool with fighting power but no intelligence or thinking ability.

It is still a tool that has lost its human control.

Three hours later, the hundred-meter-tall wizard statue was successfully deciphered. Wang Ya was somewhat surprised that no accidents or other dangers had occurred during this time.

That's a bit too simplistic.

As my palm touched the hundred-meter-tall wizard statue, the touch was moist, with the unique slipperiness of seawater grime, and the result confirmed by the Eye of Truth.

Surprisingly, there were no witchcraft formations or seals inside the 100-meter-tall wizard statue, nor were there any arrangements of rules or powers.

Made of ordinary, extra-large ebony metal, this statue is worth at least tens of millions of magic stones in the Underdark.

In addition to its inherent hardness and indestructibility, ivory metal also possesses excellent energy transfer capabilities.

Even different, equivalent, heterogeneous energies can accommodate each other and forcibly maintain a balance.

Even in the legendary era, their value was generally high, and they were rare mineral veins that were created only when the world was plundered and influenced by the world's core essence.

Excitement appeared in Wang Ya's eyes. If a wizard who has broken through the limits of his abilities successfully advances to the level one wizard after sublimation, his growth-type wizard artifact can also be transformed into a level one sublimated weapon.

Although this method is widely known, very few people can actually do it. The most crucial point is that it requires the use of black steel... If this hundred-meter-tall wizard statue were melted down, it would definitely be able to support the transition of the Dream Mirror and the Magnetic Silence Mirror to first-level sublimated wizard artifacts.

Wang Ya's eyes lit up more and more. This is good stuff!

As for the power of rules present in the right arm and the enormous book that appears to be the Book of All Things, it seems that they can be taken directly.

Water pressure and seawater corrosion have no effect on it whatsoever.

Wang Ya was eager to try it out. He had already done everything he could, and the Eye of Truth had been analyzed, so there were no security issues.

The prepared protective measures, while not foolproof, would make it impossible for even the Ghostlight Wizard to kill him in a short time.

Wang Ya does not hesitate in making his own judgments; he pays attention to every detail and the unknown.

The body slowly rose to about eighty meters. The right hand of the statue, which was outstretched, was very clean. The Book of All Things seemed to possess a rule-based power that was willing to isolate the influence of the seawater.

The book is antique, entirely black, with no pages separated, resembling the texture of a tree root carving.

This is the Book of All Things. Wang Ya could sense the burgeoning power of the rules, though it was hidden and almost completely contained. Through Harak's soul imprint, it was stored in the Heart of Harak in the Infinite Black Core, which is the location of the true heart. Each fragment of the power of the rules emitted a faint light and was present.

Even the many superhumans imprisoned in the Foam Land were burning with heat, letting out piercing screams, as if their blood was about to burst from their veins and return to its true home.

They are fragments of the power of rules; their superpowered genes are simply another manifestation of that power.

"Indeed, this is the source, the truly good thing, including the very purpose of the World Experiment Field."

With an excited expression on his face, Wang Ya covered his right hand with a layer of blood energy shared by Harak and grabbed the Book of Myriad Phenomena.

……

Sorry, the last chapter disappointed many readers. I'll refine the writing and plot in the future, focusing more on the main characters and weaving in foreshadowing for the supporting characters. (This chapter was written on my phone, and I spent three hours typing it out by hand. I wrote it very carefully.)
