Chapter 731 Thoughts and Audience
In the laboratory, Jemin sat at his workstation, a long list of unfinished tasks densely displayed on the semi-transparent light screen in front of him, but he couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.
His gaze fell on the light screen, but his thoughts sank deeper into the sea of his mind.
His Ring of Truth has been completely wrapped in pure gold by the golden threads of law, and the nascent form of the solidified law domain slowly rotates within it, like an embryo sealed in a womb, needing only one final push to fully take shape.
Logically speaking, he could be promoted to level six at any time.
All four elemental laws have been controlled beyond 100%, with the abyss-type laws and life-type laws even far exceeding them.
Any one of these principles is sufficient to serve as the core rule for advancing to level six.
But Jemin wanted to use the laws of spiritual energy to complete his advancement.
After all, that was the root of his entire power system.
It is the only place where the cultivation system and the wizarding system truly intersect, and it is also the most fundamental link between him and the Great Dao Library.
If he advances using the four elemental laws, he will become a powerful level six wizard, or even an absurdly powerful level six wizard.
But that's not enough.
He was going to take a different path.
To support that path, the foundation must be something entirely of one's own, something that is not bound by any existing system of rules.
Only the laws of spiritual energy meet the requirements.
However, the laws of spiritual energy do not exist in the wizarding world.
There is no concept of "spiritual energy" in the wizarding world, there are no ready-made laws to refer to, and he even has to build the basic theoretical framework himself from scratch.
He pushed the spiritual energy law from zero to eighty percent, relying on the construction of incense and divine paths, and on the passive comprehension of the Great Dao's origin by the Dao Integration Realm. However, after reaching eighty percent, the progress of the Dao Integration Realm slowed down significantly.
The laws of spiritual energy are not native to the wizarding world, and the enhancement they provide in the state of Dao Integration is far less significant than their effect on the four elemental laws. The remaining twenty percent will have to be determined through his own research.
To be more specific, it means installing a new subsystem for the incense and deity system.
Incense offerings and religious practices are currently the most successful application of the laws of spiritual energy, and also the core experimental platform for his research on the laws of spiritual energy.
With each new subsystem he builds, his understanding of the laws of spiritual energy deepens, and his control over these laws increases accordingly. He has already installed three.
Interspatial energy transfer system (divine descent system).
Fate system.
Dao Bing System.
These correspond to the application of spiritual energy in different dimensions, and also constitute the most basic framework of incense and deity worship.
However, to increase his control over the laws of spiritual energy from 80% to 100%, he would need a new subsystem.
A direction that would allow him to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of Reiki during his research.
The question is, what should be installed in this subsystem?
Because there were too many options to choose from, Jemin became troubled.
He raised his hand to rub his temples, then casually opened the light screen and began to review his long-piling unfinished tasks.
He scanned through the items one by one, and suddenly his fingertip stopped on a certain item.
Subsequent processing of the Tentacle Tree plane.
This matter was shelved several years ago.
Although the Tentacle Tree Plane and the Purgatory Sulfur Plane have completed their initial fusion, the current state is only a transition, and it will take a long time for the laws of both sides to slowly merge.
Therefore, the continent of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane now resembles a giant floating island, embedded in a star sector of the Tentacle Tree Plane.
He had been busy learning about reflection dimensions, so the subsequent plan had not been finalized.
Jemin stared at this line for a few seconds, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The Tentacle Tree Plane is a super-large cosmic plane containing 50 billion stars.
Five hundred billion stars...
Jemin's eyes slowly brightened.
He's thinking about installing some kind of subsystem on the temple's sacred grounds!
In the time that followed, Jemin's life became extremely monotonous.
The automated factories in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane operate 24/7.
Batch after batch of liquid refined gold was cast from the element pool into standard sizes, and then flowed into the Star Ring Federation's arms trading market through Black's channels, in exchange for massive amounts of low-level military merits and rare materials.
At the same time, he also sold large quantities of high-purity spiritual energy extracted from the Purgatory Sulfur Plane through the trading platform on the Magic Network terminal. Ever since the Starfall Wizard obtained the Level 1 Cultivation Agreement by studying the properties of spiritual energy, spiritual energy has become a rare resource in wizarding civilization, and its price has remained consistently high.
His batch of goods had only been listed for a short time when it was snapped up by several research teams of level six wizards.
When he finally stopped, his previously empty account had accumulated enough start-up funds to support the next phase of the experiment.
"Let's postpone paying off the mentor's debts; he probably doesn't need that much now."
With that in mind, Jemin used the funds to purchase the necessary materials and began planning the next round of experiments.
It was at this time that Luli, the former planetary governor of the Tentacle Tree civilization, received an order from Jemin.
At that time, he was at the community center of the seventh resettlement area, giving onboarding training to a group of newly grown tentacle trees.
He glanced at the meeting coordinates on the network terminal, and his tentacles involuntarily curled up.
Because those coordinates were neither the familiar main continent of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, nor the control room he had visited several times before.
Instead, it was a coordinate he had absolutely no recollection of.
Suppressing her doubts, Lu Li handed over the training to her deputy and stepped onto the teleportation array alone.
As the light from the teleportation array faded, the portable protective suit automatically activated, spreading a semi-transparent film around his body.
The scorching heat was kept out, but the sight before him still made his crystalline eyes widen involuntarily.
He stood on the surface of a planet with an extremely harsh environment.
Beneath my feet lies a semi-solidified lava crust, with dark orange light emanating from the cracks. In the distance, a volcano is erupting, spewing lava columns tens of meters high, and gray volcanic ash obscures half the sky.
Through the cracks in the volcanic ash, he saw the enormous star overhead.
Its apparent diameter was much larger than any star he had seen elsewhere, and its proximity was almost oppressive, like a giant crimson eye hanging in the sky. Based on his experience serving in the colonial fleet, he judged that this should be a lava planet with an orbit extremely close to that of a star.
The environment is extremely harsh, with the atmosphere mainly composed of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, and the surface temperature is high enough to instantly carbonize any carbon-based organism.
Yet this place, which is completely unsuitable for any living thing, seems to be thriving at this moment.
Massive black giants, some tens or even hundreds of meters tall, carried various materials and traversed back and forth across the lava plain.
Each step he took created a deep crater in the ground, spewing lava.
On several makeshift teleportation arrays, new black giants emerged carrying materials, while others returned empty-handed after carrying their loads. Their chests opened and closed slightly in the high-temperature air, emitting a series of low, resonant sounds.
A thin ring has already formed around the outer edge of the star overhead.
The ring looked like a star ring encircling a star, but it was not made of natural debris; rather, it was a complete magic array structure that reflected a dark golden metallic luster.
The surface was covered with dense runes, and the ring had already surrounded most of the star's outer perimeter, leaving only a small gap. It looked as if the star was wearing a metal ring that was not yet fully closed.
"Please follow me, my master is this way."
While Hearthfence was still in shock, a black giant priest emerged from the busy construction site and led him forward.
On a makeshift command post that had been leveled out, Lu Li saw Jieming.
Jemin was hovering on the edge of the flat surface, adjusting parameters on the light screen in front of him with one hand, and holding a clump of plasma sample that had just been collected from the surface of a star in the other hand.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw the fireplace. His attitude was much more peaceful than the other person had expected, and he even took the initiative to extend his hand in greeting. "Actually, you didn't need to make a special trip. It wasn't any particularly important order anyway."
Jemin casually tossed the sample in his hand to the black giant priest next to him, then turned around to face the hearth.
The fire fence immediately lowered the tree crown to a standard angle of submission, with its tentacles flat against the ground.
"This is to show my respect for you, Your Excellency."
Jemin neither agreed nor stopped him.
He could probably guess what Firefly was thinking.
Judging from the current situation, it's not that Jemin needs the Tentacle Tree Civilization, but rather that the Tentacle Tree Civilization needs Jemin.
This unequal relationship makes the weaker party instinctively want to gain a sense of security by showing more respect.
He didn't need the Hearthfence's respect, but there was no need to refuse it and unnecessarily increase the guy's unease.
"It's not a big deal," Jemin said casually. "Don't you still have many of your people stationed on planets? During the Dragonkin mission, I had the engineering team temporarily seal off several major colony star systems in the original Tentacle Tree plane. Now it's almost time to start the relocation." Furnace's crystal eyes blinked.
"Where will it be moved to, sir?"
"Transfer to the Heng galaxy I created."
Lu Li was clearly taken aback for a moment.
He had lived for nearly two hundred years and felt he had seen a lot, but the idea of "creating a new star system" was still somewhat beyond his expectations.
