Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 395 [395] The Dark Transformation: The Root of Space Rules

In the virtual laboratory.

The white mist exists within a special instrument. Through centrifugal separation using the wizard's instrument, the tiny substances within the mist are distinguished according to their extraordinary properties and different tendencies.

Microscopic organisms also vary. It should be said that white fog is produced by the mixture of microscopic active organisms with some associated substances, dust, and gases.

"Fog is just the most superficial form of manifestation. When it becomes so small, even extraordinary perception cannot detect it."

Wang Ya manipulated the instruments in the virtual laboratory, where he could work freely with multiple restarts as a backup, which would bring him greater gains.

Soon, the white mist gradually separated into different substances, which, through the transmission channels of the wizard's instrument, arrived at different sealed areas.

His pupils gleamed with a white, pulsating arc of light.

The area on the left was a thin white mist, its color even more somber, the white appearing more like spots, in an irregular pattern. Wang Ya maintained the Eye of Truth as usual, observed for a while, and then shook his head.

Initially, he thought that the white mist's phagocytic, replicative, and highly active properties were formed by two different microscopic substances, and that the white mist was similar to a special micro-ecological balance zone, equivalent to the Deep Blue Secret Realm world.

Three isolation zones were separated. The thin white mist on the left was just the secretion of microscopic substances, similar to biological excrement. It did not have much effect and did not have any extraordinary properties.

Wang Ya's gaze fell on the isolation zone on the right. There was nothing visible to the naked eye inside, only emptiness. However, as his extraordinary spiritual power approached and gradually attached itself to the glass enclosure of the isolation zone, a subtle sense of crisis made Wang Ya raise his eyebrows slightly.

This is the most valuable thing: the true nature of the white mist—a group of microscopic, extremely small, special organisms. After ten years of experiments, Wang Ya has figured out its essence.

"Extraordinary viruses possess the ability to self-replicate and transcribe, invade the cell nucleus, attack bacteriophages, and alter the nature of an active microscopic entity. Extraordinary bacteria invade target individuals, can absorb nutrients, and rapidly self-divide until more extraordinary bacteria are produced."

"A special extraordinary individual named White Mist Micromatter possesses characteristics shared by both extraordinary viruses and extraordinary bacteria. Interesting. No wonder it can pose a considerable threat to the Star Wizard. The Dark Spore also possesses some duality, altering its own physical properties. This is the self-replicating ability of extraordinary viruses and the strong activity of extraordinary bacteria that can support this change without causing the collapse of the micromatter individual."

"A stronger transcendental property can enhance the dual properties of the Darkspore, especially since the Darkspore's dual properties are not perfect."

As for how to do it, Wang Ya already had a plan in mind and had tried it many times in the virtual laboratory, with many different successful experimental results.

Wang Ya selected the best result.

The Dark Spores acquire the dual properties of the White Mist microscopic matter to complete themselves and possess the ability to invade even the Star Wizards.

"Is this our destination, a wizarding faction in an online region?"

Diana emerged from the massive forest and gazed at the towering buildings in the distance. It was a vast city, with flying wizards radiating particle energy as they moved in and out.

"Why not go directly to the powerful wizarding forces instead of choosing these weak ones? If you want to acquire resources to restore your strength, those places have better access."

Hans Christian Andersen stepped forward, his tone carrying a deeper meaning, "Powerful wizarding forces are much stricter in their investigation of personnel, making it extremely difficult to infiltrate them."

"The wizarding forces in the online region have their own advantages and benefits. Moreover, this wizarding force is not simple. Their access to resources is not as scarce as it appears. They possess some special hidden resources that even the most powerful wizarding forces in the inner region do not have."

Hans Christian Andersen, with his arms crossed, strolled leisurely toward the ancient and vast city, his voice reaching Diana's ears.

"Those special resources can have a significant effect on me, and can also restore the original power of your level 3 sublimated magical artifact."

"Only after regaining my strength will I be qualified to do more things. I left some arrangements in the Frostland, hoping that everything has not changed. However, this is unlikely. The wizarding world is changing rapidly, and even I cannot predict or understand it."

"However, it shouldn't be too difficult for it to be effective and retain some of its original functions."

Diana asked curiously, "What is its function?"

"A complete rule, concerning an old friend, which I killed with my own hands, obliterating most of his consciousness and soul, and stripping him of the rule, suppressing him beneath the frost and snow. Countless years have passed, and this spatial rule should now only have its pure origin left."

A touch of emotion appeared on Hans Christian Andersen's face. "It was just a trick I left behind casually. I never thought I would need it one day."

"Bearing the rule origins of others will limit me to the upper limit of the rule origins. However, the rule power of a fifth-level wizard is enough for me to deal with all hidden dangers and welcome back my own wizarding path power."

Diana's eyes widened in surprise. Through Andersen's stories over the past few days, she had learned a great deal about the secrets of the upper echelons of the wizarding world.

The rules of a fifth-level wizard have surpassed the power that Hans Christian Andersen possessed in the Underdark.

"Where in the Frosty Lands did you seal that source of the rule?" Diana's eyes flickered, and she didn't hide her true thoughts; she was genuinely curious.

Hans Christian Andersen turned his head, squinted his eyes, and moved his lips. "It doesn't matter if I tell you. The source of that rule is in the ley line node of this Frosty Land. The existence of the line area is because of this source of the rule."

"Because of your methods, the online region was created. So, wouldn't the leyline nodes be the leyline nodes of the online region?"

"The inner area is different from the outer area; it has a deeper foundation and is much larger, and more eyes are watching it. I need to master the ley lines of all the online areas in order to unlock that source of the rule."

Hans Christian Andersen looked at the majestic wizard city ahead. "This wizarding power has the resources I need, and it also has a ley line node."

"Let's go. The wizarding forces are weak, and so are we. This is an opportunity. Let's seize control of this wizarding force, swallow up all the online wizarding forces, and secretly take control of and unlock all the online ley lines."

"The wolves are watching, and their greed will make the sheep grow up. But they don't know that when the sheep grows up, it will be a ferocious tiger when it sheds its sheep's skin."

"You've told me your entire plan. Aren't you afraid it will fail? What if I leak the information?"

Diana slowed her pace and spoke in a cool tone.

"You won't, I believe. You don't have many choices, do you?" A faint sneer appeared on Hans Christian Andersen's lips.

Looking at the familiar figure ahead, Diana's eyes darkened, then she composed herself.

She concealed it well, her face regaining its composure, and chased after him.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

As the autumn and winter wizard walked unhurriedly down the street leading to the tower, clutching a stack of parchment scrolls, she felt a surge of joy as more and more wizards came and went, even experiencing a strange sense of returning to the Underdark.

Upon entering the Conquest Tower, I couldn't help but feel a chill. I didn't sense any extraordinary fluctuations, but there was an invisible sense of oppression.

A figure in a black wizard's robe sat in a chair in the center of the first-floor hall, flipping through a handwritten notebook.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Nightmare Wizard."

"Autumn/Winter Wizard, what's the matter?"

"Respectfully informing you, Nightmare Wizard, these are the relevant extraordinary resources compiled by the Martial World, all clearly recorded in the parchment atlas."

The autumn and winter wizard bowed slightly, spread his hands, and the parchment book in his palm flew straight toward Wang Ya.

With a slight twitch of his brow, Wang Ya said, "It seems the harvest is even greater than I expected. Not bad, the categorization is very clear. As for items that can have a positive effect on extraordinary life forms, they are all listed as tradable."

"The details of the campaign against natural disasters have all been finalized, right?"

When faced with Wang Ya's question, the Autumn and Winter Wizard was clearly well-prepared and had a prepared answer in mind.

"In this Nightmare Calamity, a total of twenty-one people were selected. In accordance with your requirements, Lord Nightmare Wizard, we have been very strict in our selection process. Those who meet the criteria are: Spectral Wizard, Machine God Wizard, Withered Wood Wizard, Is Wizard, and Polaris Wizard. The apprentice wizard level includes 'Freddy Wizard' from the Anton family."

Wang Ya was deep in thought, his long, slender, and fair fingers gently tapping on the stone armrest of the chair.

Every formal wizard is forged through fierce competition and battles with their peers. Their wizarding hearts and wills are not firm enough, so it's not surprising that Wang Ya could meet the requirements.

The members of the apprentice wizards generally possess the strength of a maximum wizard apprentice, with only a few having weaker strength.

To Wang Ya's surprise, a new face appeared. A new wizard entered Nightmare Calamity and became a core member of the Heart of Conquest.

"Da Vinci Kara, I remember him. Freddy the Wizard mentioned him to me."

"There's also Caron Meorgie, a well-known apprentice wizard back when the Dreamline was still around. He was from the same batch as Green Forest, and in the competition for the secret realm, he even surpassed Green Forest and ranked higher."

Wang Ya smiled and said, "Autumn and Winter Wizard, you did a great job. This is one of the best news I've heard in a long time."

The Autumn and Winter Wizard glanced at Wang Ya's expression out of the corner of his eye and tentatively asked, "These two have already met the requirements to enter the Nightmare Calamity. What do you mean, Nightmare Wizard?"

"Let's proceed according to the original plan. I will recruit these two little ones as disciples, but the black and white bubbles will serve as the test. If they fail, they will lose the opportunity to inherit the Nightmare Dream legacy."

"Understood, Lord Nightmare Wizard, I will take care of it."

"By the way, Nightmare Wizard, I have another piece of news that I might need you to confirm." As the Autumn Winter Wizard was about to leave, she mentioned the matter that Galio had once pleaded with her.

"A baby born with unique features, with a sea-blue pattern on its forehead, possessing astonishing wizarding potential." Resting his chin on his right hand, Wang Ya's eyes clearly showed interest as he said directly, "Interesting. Have that Galio bring the child to me in a few days."

"As you command, Nightmare Wizard."

As the figure of the Autumn and Winter Wizard walked out of the Conquest Tower, Wang Ya's figure, sitting in the chair, slowly faded away.

This is merely a clone of consciousness, possessing very little power, enough to maintain basic thought and memory storage. The main body is completing the metamorphosis experiment on the dark spores, and the process has reached its most critical moment.

Inside the bubble world.

A gray light pierced through the earth and shot straight into the sky, as if to tear a huge hole in the entire bubble world. The ripples along the way even pushed away the power of Nightmare Annihilation Dreams.

Many wizards still exist in the bubble world, preserved through the Nightmare Mark.

"That's coming from the Foam Tower, it seems to be the result of the Nightmare Wizard."

Some people gasped in surprise, stunned by the situation.

The coverage area was so vast that from a distance it looked like a giant gray eye in the sky, radiating a continuous stream of particle energy—it was terrifying.

"Is the Nightmare Wizard conducting an experiment? The supernatural fluctuations are terrifying. I think we should get away from him as soon as possible."

An experiment by a level two Star Wizard showed that no matter how the experiment went, even the slightest leakage of particle energy could kill or severely injure an ordinary wizard.

"An eye! Look! An eye has really appeared in the sky of the bubble world, right inside the gray hole."

Following the person who exclaimed, everyone turned their gaze in that direction. Sure enough, within the vast, gray void, they saw eye sockets formed of pure black, with white pupils—incredibly realistic. Many began to feel a chill run down their spines, sensing the impending danger of death.

"That eye was so evil, so terrifying. It felt like it was about to devour me at any moment. Even though it wasn't looking at me, my body was trembling instinctively."

"The Nightmare Wizard has appeared! He's going to suppress that eye! That's great!"

Amidst a multitude of gazes, a figure emerged from within the foam tower. Clad in a black wizard's robe, radiating a faint white glow, he seemed to echo throughout the entire foam world. Without displaying any extraordinary power, he simply waved his hand gently towards the gray eye in the sky above.

The next moment, all traces left by the gray light vanished without a trace, as if they had been directly erased.

A fist-sized gray crystal with a smooth surface and a transparent interior like agate or gemstone, its hardness and texture are similar to both.

Click!

Wang Ya crushed the gray crystal, instantly surprising everyone. Many wizards stared wide-eyed and gaped.
