Domenico and Francis, who had specially returned from other planes, stood in front of the Magic Crystal Platform, concerned as they looked at Vincentia on the platform, prepared to rescue him at any moment.
Breakthroughs for a Mechanical Wizard are never smooth sailing.
Even other Mechanical Wizards can encounter accidents when breaking through from apprentice to First Ring Wizard, causing chaos and collapse in the counter-model inside the Small Energy Furnace.
Although Vincentia had never had an accident during breakthroughs, they were naturally not neglectful where caution was needed.
"Hoo hoo—"
Sitting cross-legged on the Magic Crystal Platform, Vincentia began absorbing magic crystals to replenish Elemental Energy, while strands of a Destruction aura emerged around him, making Francis and Domenico's hearts race with fear.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
"Ka ka—"
Suddenly, several crisp cracking sounds echoed from within Vincentia.
At the moment they heard the cracking sounds, Domenico and Francis's expressions changed.
Francis quickly took out a body identical to Vincentia from the Space Ring, prepared in advance, and released Life Element to envelop it.
Domenico raised his right hand, intending to extract Vincentia's soul from his original body.
"I can fix it!" Vincentia managed to stabilize the Destruction Element inside him and took the time to speak.
Upon hearing this, Francis and Domenico shared a glance, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately halted their actions.
After all, Vincentia is unlike Sanchez, he wouldn't gamble with his life... would he?
Certainly, though they've stopped, they are still ready to rescue him at any point.
Once it's confirmed that Vincentia can no longer control the internal Destructive Energy, or if the Tier Five Small Energy Furnace completely shatters, they will forcibly transfer Vincentia's soul immediately.
"Kada—hum—"
At this moment, a peculiar sound came from within Vincentia, seemingly indicating the Energy Furnace had healed itself.
In the next instant, a very strong Destruction aura was about to erupt from Vincentia, but before it could fully explode, Vincentia forcibly suppressed it.
Simultaneously, Domenico sensed Vincentia's soul aura rise a level.
"It's done." Domenico breathed a sigh of relief, speaking with a smile.
"Fortunately, it was just a small mishap." Francis nodded, but his expression remained serious, "No idea what caused the mishap this time, or if it can be avoided."
"The stability of the Tier Five Small Energy Furnace isn't sufficient."
Vincentia opened his eyes and looked at Francis, "If successors still follow this extreme Destruction system and use the current Tier Five Small Energy Furnace as the drive, as long as their Elemental Control Talent is below mine, it'll be impossible for them to succeed."
"Even for me, it was barely stable just now."
"To improve this situation, we must strengthen the material of the Tier Five Small Energy Furnace."
"But it's not urgent right now, let Ernie focus on researching the Tier Six Energy Furnace, after all, besides me, there aren't any Mechanical Wizards above Third Ring."
"Okay." Francis nodded, "I'll instruct Ernie to try to find sturdier materials to forge the Tier Six Energy Furnace, when they research a Small Tier Six Energy Furnace, you'll be the one to evaluate its usability."
He's not certain Ernie can find suitable replacement materials, so he can only leave it to Vincentia to decide if they are usable.
"Understood," Vincentia replied.
...
Wizard Calendar 3920, March 2nd.
Central plane of the Wizard Plane Group, inside the grand Silver Wolf Statue.
"Mmm, how comfortable!" Silver Wolf awoke from slumber, stretched lazily, feeling refreshed.
It felt as though it had never slept so comfortably since it was born.
"It's time to visit the Second World." Moments later, Silver Wolf composed its mood, flipped its front paws, and took out a jet-black ornament resembling an anklet, extending part of its perception into it.
"Hoo—"
This part of its perception seemed to enter an extremely long, dark passageway, constantly moving forward under the guidance of an unknown force.
Moments later.
In the Second World, a silver wolf identical in appearance to it awoke in a magnificent hall.
"Long time no see, Second World." Silver Wolf glanced around, its eyes showing deep nostalgia.
This world was built by powerful beings from the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization.
Once you possess a ticket to enter the Second World, as long as you're within the Crystal Domain, regardless of where you are, you can enter this world by spending a thousand Illusion Dream Value.
In the Second World, as long as you have Illusion Dream Value, you can exchange it for all kinds of rare delicacies you can't afford in reality, live in places you can't reside in reality, play countless games, etc., for a very low price.
Simply put, as long as you have resources to exchange for Illusion Dream Value, you can enjoy everything in the Second World.
Besides enjoyment, you can also use Illusion Dream Value to buy anything that exists in reality here.
Like large planes, plane groups, Plane Seeds, even various slaves, Exotic Treasures for repairing the Origin Container, and so on, besides buying the opportunity to have Tier Seven experts help you, as long as you have enough Illusion Dream Value.
After placing an order based on value, items would be delivered by Tier Four to Tier Seven experts under the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization's subsidiary civilization.
Exchanging resources for Illusion Dream Value is simple too, you simply place resources in front of the 'ticket', convey the intention of tribute, and the ticket will auto-assess and take them in.
Besides exchanging resources, there's another way to obtain Illusion Dream Value, which is by achieving various accomplishments in specialized 'games'.
Or rather, obtaining achievements from these specialized games is the most favored method among members of large civilizations to acquire Illusion Dream Value.
Exchanging resources may seem fine, but the amount of Illusion Dream Value you can get is extremely small, the cost-effectiveness is pitifully low.
For instance, handing over one trillion magic crystals can exchange for one point of Illusion Dream Value, but one point of Illusion Dream Value can only exchange for ten thousand magic crystals.
So, when large civilizations trade, no one chooses to go through the Second World route, they all trade in reality.
Silver Wolf gently exhaled, suppressing its nostalgic feelings, its thoughts racing, it vanished from the hall.
In the next moment, it appeared in a vast grassland.
This grassland was exceptionally empty, the stars twinkling in the sky, very peaceful and beautiful.
"Hoo hoo—"
A gentle breeze came, blowing Silver Wolf's fur, making it enjoyably close its eyes.
"Cid, you advanced to Tier Six? Didn't you purify belief?" Just then, a very surprised voice sounded beside its ear.
Even though after purifying belief, the plane's strength isn't enough to become a Tier Seven great being, it retains a bit of hope.
Advancing directly without purifying belief leaves no hope at all.
"Hmm?" Cid opened its eyes and looked towards the direction the voice came from.
A silver wolf, similar in appearance but slightly slender, looked at it in surprise.
"Oh, it's been a while, Daire."
Cid grinned, meanwhile, subconsciously released a Power of Faith power that appeared to be filled with clutter on the surface but was pure and immaculate at its core, feigned lament, "Oops, just broke through, lost control for a moment, didn't scare you, did I?"
On the surface, the clutter of this Power of Faith power was the pollution from advancing from Tier Five to Tier Six, which would take ten thousand years to wear off slowly.
Its pure core was enough to prove to this long-unseen friend the achievements of countless sleepless nights spent.
"You actually purified the Power of Faith from the Tier Four to Tier Five advancement?" Daire exclaimed with shock, "If I recall correctly, you seem to have left the Silver Wing Plane Group for less than five thousand years?"
The purification of Power of Faith is a laborious task, generally taking at least three thousand years to purify the pollution caused by the Tier Four to Tier Five breakthrough.
But Cid had been away for less than five thousand years total, yet managed to complete the Tier Four to Tier Five purification, it was astonishing.
Finding a suitable advancement plane alone would typically take quite a while.
"Did you find a large plane or go crazy?" Daire suspiciously eyed Cid.
Besides these two possibilities, she couldn't imagine the reason for Cid's efforts.
