I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world

Chapter 537 Post-War Inventory

The war is over.

Standing at the edge of the makeshift giant teleportation array, Jemin looked back at the land behind him that had been completely transformed.

The once gray and white wasteland is no more.

Instead, there are countless deep ravines, black rock layers formed by solidified lava, and bizarre crystalline landforms created by repeated erosion from the aftershocks of energy.

In the sky, the four "suns" have disappeared, leaving only a few spatial rifts that are slowly healing, like permanent scars on this plane of existence.

This war, which had lasted for months, came to an end.

The two sides deployed more than three million troops. If we include the constructs and biological weapons used as cannon fodder, the number of dead would probably be in the tens of billions.

And all of this began and ended simply because...

A single sentence from an eighth-level wizard.

Jemin remained silent, a complex and indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

He had already witnessed the importance of strength on other battlefields.

Without power, one can hardly move an inch in this extraordinary world.

But it wasn't until this moment, until he personally experienced such a massive war and witnessed the loss of countless lives simply due to the will of a few at the highest levels, that he truly gained a new understanding of the word "power".

Strength is indeed very important.

It is important enough to determine the fate of billions of lives.

"Let's go, what are you spacing out for?"

Viola's voice came from behind.

She had already stopped in the center of the teleportation array, her silver-gray eyes looking at Jemin. Unusually, she didn't tease him, but just waited quietly.

Jemin looked away, and suddenly felt a little mocking of himself.

In reality, the wars he experienced in other civilizations were far more brutal than this, but this time he felt inexplicably moved.

"Is it because...this is a war within the wizarding world? It turns out, I've subconsciously stopped considering beings from other civilizations as intelligent beings." Having reached this conclusion, Jemin felt surprisingly calm: "So, am I now...a wizarding civilization supremacist? It seems that without realizing it, I've become a qualified wizard too."

Nodding to Viola, Jemin stepped into the teleportation array.

Clark was already waiting in the lineup.

His expression remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation, as if he wasn't the one who had single-handedly become the core of the plane and reversed the entire battle.

The teleportation array slowly lit up.

Jemin took one last look at this battlefield, this land that had witnessed countless battles, countless sacrifices, and countless partings of life and death.

Then, the light engulfed our vision.

When everything became clear again, they were already standing in a safe plane belonging to the Norren Workshop.

Behind them, the abandoned plane that served as a battlefield began to slowly collapse after losing all its supporting forces.

The dozen or so fragments of the plane that had been forcibly pieced together finally returned to their destined fate: to fall apart and turn into dust in the endless chaotic void.

No one looked back.

Because everyone knows that it was just a battlefield that had been used before.

Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

The familiar dark red sky, the familiar smell of sulfur, the familiar hellish volcanoes and lava rivers.

Standing atop the laboratory in the core area of ​​the plane, overlooking his territory, Jemin finally felt a sense of relief. "Master."

A deep voice came from behind.

Jemin turned around and saw a huge figure slowly descending from the sky.

That was Lava Mountain, one of the two leaders of the Black Giant Legion.

But now, he's the only one left.

"Are the inventory results out?" Jemin asked.

Lava Mountain nodded and handed a recording crystal to Jemin.

His movements were more steady and more... weighty than before.

Because the current Lava Mountain is no longer level six.

After that brutal battle, the Black Giant leader, Lava Mountain, finally broke through the limits of his race and reached the level of a seventh-level creature. Jemin took the crystal, probed it with his mental energy, and rows of data appeared in his mind.

Then, his brows furrowed tightly.

When he set off, he took with him one million level 5 black giant warriors and eight hundred level 6 black giant priests.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of ordinary level six black giants as the backbone of the force.

On the way back...

All the black giants combined numbered just over ten thousand.

Judging from the information on the crystal, the remaining 10,000-plus black giants have all reached the level of a level six creature, and not just the level of a newly entered level six creature. Through their frenzied devouring of enemy lives on the previous battlefield, each of these remaining veterans has reached the level of a senior level six creature.

Unfortunately, one of the leaders of the Black Giants, Rockhammer, also died on the battlefield.

Although it was just a cannon fodder creature, it was still his first creation, and they had been together for so many years; it would be a lie to say he had no feelings for it. After a moment of silence, he put the crystal away.

"We'll assign these warriors who survived the battlefield to various Black Giant tribes and have them teach the next generation of Black Giants the skills to fight and survive on the battlefield," Jemin said.

Rongshan bowed slightly, without saying anything more.

Jemin took a deep breath and looked at the Lava Mountain before him—the black giant leader who had just advanced to level seven, whose appearance was completely different from before.

Lava Mountain follows the path of being dominated by conventional elements, and its size increases rapidly with each advancement.

After advancing to level seven, his height exceeded 10,000 meters, more than dozens of times greater than before.

Moreover, his body proportions were exceptionally robust, with every muscle bulging like a mountain, and the black liquid metal layer on the surface of his skin was even thicker, gleaming with a deep luster.

He simply stood there, and he exuded an exaggerated sense of oppression—the natural pressure of a level seven being.

"How are you feeling?" Jemin asked.

Lava Mountain looked down at his hands, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Very strong."

He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts:

"But I'm not quite used to it yet. My strength is increasing too fast, and it's a bit difficult to control."

Jemin nodded.

"Take it slow," Jemin said. "Focus on consolidating your strength during this time. Don't rush into battle. I'll take some time to carefully examine your current physical condition."

He paused, a thoughtful glint in his eyes:

"If we can thoroughly study your breakthrough path, we might be able to further improve the Black Giant race and raise the racial ceiling of the entire race." Lava Mountain nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Jemin glanced at him again and sighed inwardly.

Studying lava mountains is easier said than done.

Although his physical and mental strength have reached the sixth level, his knowledge accumulation is still far from sufficient.

After advancing to the seventh level, every tissue structure, every energy circuit, and every imprint of law in his body had exceeded his current level of knowledge.

To conduct research, one must first learn.

"Go and rest first," Jemin waved his hand. "I'll call you if I need anything."

Lava Mountain bowed again, its massive form slowly rising as it flew towards the volcanic cluster deep within the plane.

Jemin watched him leave, then turned and walked back into the research room.

Back in the lab, he conducted another comprehensive self-examination.

The results were satisfactory.

Through the frenzied evolution of his physical strength in battle using body tempering techniques, he has completely surpassed the scope of a regular level 5 wizard and has firmly reached the level 6 standard.

In terms of strength, speed, and recovery ability, he is on par with an ordinary level six wizard.

His mental strength also surged after the soul was reshaped, and he now stands firmly at the threshold of level six.

Although there is still a slight gap between him and a true level six wizard, it is enough for him to perform various high-difficulty spells.

Under the combined pull of his physical and mental abilities, Jieming's spiritual cultivation is also increasing at an astonishing rate.

Based on the current progress, it is estimated that it will take less than a year to catch up and reach a level that matches the physical and mental strength.

In the days that followed, Jemin locked himself in the laboratory.

He has too many things to do.

First, there are improvements to the God of Light.

In this battle, the Light Godhood displayed astonishing power, allowing him to suppress a level six fictional wizard head-on while still at level five.

However, it also exposed a fatal problem: it started up too slowly.

That one second of preparation time, in the ever-changing battlefield, was enough to kill him ten times over.

If Augusta hadn't arrived in time and risked her life to buy him that extra second, he wouldn't have had a chance to complete his Light God transformation and would have been forced to endure the illusory pursuit in his normal state.

"The startup time must be reduced," Jemin wrote in his lab log. "Ideally, it should be instantaneous."

He began to re-examine every step of the transformation into a god of light, looking for areas that could be optimized.

The information transformation of the Five Aggregates into the Rainbow Mirror cannot be shortened.

That's an inherent characteristic of magical artifacts; you can only adapt to it, not change it.

"Unless... this magic weapon is upgraded another level."

Jemin stroked his chin thoughtfully, then rejected the idea.

Although the first two stages of the Five Aggregates Transformation into Rainbow Mirror were easily completed in the earlier levels.

However, the difficulty of reforging magical artifacts increases as you progress, and the consumption of various resources also becomes quite staggering.

The Five Elements Transformation into Rainbow Imagery, reaching its third stage, requires consuming certain resources unique to the cultivation world. He is currently powerless to do so and can only seek alternatives later. As for the remaining resources…

The filling time for the Extinction Light of Fire can be compressed through pre-charging.

The steady-state maintenance of Guixu Jia can be further simplified.

The manipulation of causal information can be accelerated through pre-programming.

The energy resonance of the Tai Xu Step can be synchronized with the information processing.

As he pondered, Jieming mentally considered various possible solutions.

Besides the transformation into a god of light, he also needed to analyze the problems exposed in his entire combat system during this war.

Each idea was recorded in the experimental log.

But soon, he had no choice but to stop.

"no·……"

Jemin leaned back in his chair helplessly: "My knowledge level is too low right now; I can't think of any good solutions!"

There are quite a few problems to deal with, but based on Jamin's existing knowledge, he can't think of any good solutions.

In the center of the laboratory, looking at the mountains of books and research materials around him, Jemin fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally let out a long breath.

I got up, deleted all the thoughts I had previously recorded on the screen, and instead wrote down two large characters: Study.

"For a long time to come..." he murmured to himself, "I'll be spending it acquiring knowledge."

At the very least, one must reach the level of a regular level 5 wizard.

At the very least, one should be able to use their knowledge to study the physical changes of lava mountains.
