One day later.

Basil activated all twelve Magic Arrays in the control room.

Three defensive Barriers of different colors, plus a Perception Shield Barrier, layered around the War Fortress, with the Perception Expansion Magic Array applied to Basil. Five terrifyingly powerful Attack Witchcraft slammed precisely towards Legislator Cassie thousands of miles away.

"Buzz Crack—"

At the moment the five Attack Witchcraft were released, the inscriptions on the surface of the War Fortress suddenly became chaotic.

Then they suddenly tangled with each other, completely messed up, and the three defensive Barriers and the Perception Barrier, along with the Perception Expansion Magic Array, all shattered.

"Puff Puff Puff—"

At the same time, the five energy beams also hit the full version of Cassie's 'Jade Wave Strong Wall,' leaving several scorched marks before disappearing without a trace.

"What is this?" Amy looked at the others around her, confused, not knowing what went wrong with the War Fortress.

"Too many Magic Arrays engraved."

Balin sighed, "Originally, we planned to engrave twenty Magic Arrays at once, but we found that the Magic Arrays interfered with each other, causing them to collapse before they were even activated."

"We later reduced them gradually to twelve Magic Arrays, and only then did it stabilize completely."

"Now it seems that although twelve Magic Arrays can stabilize to some extent, if run together, they still collapse."

"Then let's optimize it further," Amy said indifferently.

It's normal for experiments to fail; there's nothing to be surprised about.

And in this case, it doesn't even count as a total failure; it's just a few small issues that need fixing, which is even less surprising.

...

Wizard Calendar 1482, March 5th.

Eastern Milton Continent, top-level laboratory of the Domenico Wizard Tower.

Domenico, holding a deeply blue metal bracelet engraved with complex runic patterns, walked slowly to a black, fluffy, spherical creature caged in front of him.

"Coo-coo — Bang—"

When Domenico approached, the small sphere cried out in terror and bounced backward, only to hit the iron bars behind it with a dull thud.

"Calm down, don't be afraid." Domenico smiled faintly, inputting a trace of Bloodline Power into the Translation Bracelet toward the small sphere, "Speak something."

"Say... what?" The small sphere, looking at the seemingly ordinary creature in front of it, though it might secretly be terrifying, stammered nervously.

It had been living well in the Ash Lord's territory in the Dark World until one day, a giant made of the wind stormed into the territory, unleashing a storm of countless Wind Blades.

Following a resonating howl that shook the entire territory, the Ash Lord submitted to the giant made of the wind.

The scene that transpired deeply shocked its spirit.

The once-invincible Ash Lord submitted so easily under the Wind Giant's attack.

After the Ash Lord expressed submission, the Wind Giant transformed into a creature not much larger than it, just like the creature in front of it now.

The creature before it had always been beside the Wind Giant, so it must not be weak, making it unavoidable to fear.

"Done." Domenico nodded in satisfaction, opened the cage, and released the small fuzzy ball, "From now on, this is your home, go play."

The small black fuzzy ball, merely Second Order, was a pet gifted to him by Aisling. To prevent it from causing trouble during his experiments, he had to cage it temporarily.

If a Soul Contract were signed with the small fuzzy ball, this wouldn't be a concern, but it would also take away the joy of having a pet, somewhat betraying Aisling's intentions, which didn't feel right.

"Ah?" The fuzzy ball blinked its big black eyes, filled with confusion.

It originally thought this terrifying creature intended to eat it, yet it was being told to play?!

Was it hearing things?

Domenico no longer paid attention to the fuzzy ball and instead took out the Continent Communication Device, initiating an urgent communication with Francis.

Soon, the communication connected, and a light screen unfolded before Domenico.

"Speaker Francis, the Soul Translator is completed."

Domenico raised the deep blue bracelet in his hand, "Wearing it gives the same effect as bringing me along... well, at least in translation."

"Later, I'll make one for all the Speakers so there won't be a need to call me every time we go to other planes."

Currently, he struggled even against ordinary Fifth Order creatures, relying on the Translator to obtain his share of resource distribution when venturing to other planes.

With the Soul Translator, he felt he could take resources while lounging like Lor.

"Can this be mass-produced?" Francis asked.

Providing the Soul Translator to all Speakers was still inconvenient in his mind.

The goal was for even Legislators and Third Ring Wizards to have access to a Translator.

Otherwise, it would remain troublesome for young ones to execute tasks like resource collection and issuing commands in the future.

"Uh..."

Domenico's mouth twitched, "If you mean mass-producing just for the legislators, I can spend more time on it."

"However, if it includes Third Ring Wizards or even First and Second Ring Wizards, that could be challenging."

"Because activating this thing requires at least Fourth Ring quality Elemental Power."

"Of course, if the youngsters all carry Fourth Order Energy Furnaces, this issue can be resolved, but that's quite unrealistic."

Third Order Energy Furnace materials are manageable with many substitutes.

But stable Fourth Order Energy Furnace materials only come from the Deep Dark Plane, making them relatively rare and unsuitable for being wasted on Third Ring Wizards and below.

"How about researching a degraded version?" Francis suggested, "I know your time is precious, so you don't have to handle the research yourself. Assign this task to the young ones below."

"No problem." Domenico agreed swiftly when he heard he didn't have to research it.

He really didn't want to waste more time on this; he hadn't even figured out the path to the Fifth Ring yet, and Aisling was already approaching the Sixth Ring.

...

Wizard Calendar 1497, June 7th.

Far west of the Wizard Plane, a thousand miles from the Plane Barrier.

"Finally completed." Lor expertly buried the last Void Stone into the spatial layer, exhaling slowly.

It took him 31 years to finish burying Void Stones around the Plane Barrier of the Wizard Plane.

This wasn't the end but a beginning.

If a complete plane shift were truly desired, Void Stones would have to be buried throughout the Wizard Plane and Plane Barrier.

However, for the initial experiment to determine if plane relocation posed dangers, this was sufficient.

"Now to find Francis and Cody." Lor stepped out, vanishing into the lifeless sky.

Back then, Francis convinced Cody and sent a message saying to include him during the experiment.

Lor had no objections to that.

He stepped forward, entering the spatial rift suddenly appearing before him.

...

Western Milton Continent, above Cody City.

A spatial rift quietly emerged, and then Lor, still maintaining his Elemental True Body form, stepped out of it.

He was about to take out the Continent Communication Device to notify Cody when a red light shot out from the top of Cody Wizard Tower, rapidly flying towards him, eventually stopping by his side and transforming into Cody's appearance.

"Speaker Lole, you're finally here, can we start the experiment now?" Cody hurriedly asked as soon as they met.

Since Francis revealed the truth about the plane transfer experiment to him, these past thirty years had left him restless.

He desperately hoped for Lor to finish preparations and start the experiment.

After all, the experiment concerned his livelihood and future, making it hard not to be anxious.
