Lize stared at Su Nan with a strange look in her eyes.

“I saw it in a book.” Su Nan casually replied.

The Starfall Society was an insignificant force among the many wizard factions, barely even considered a third-rate organization. The only thing they were known for was their exquisite craftsmanship in creating alchemical constructs.

Coming to think of it, Falling Star City was probably manufactured by the Starfall Society.

Except, Su Nan’s memory indicated that the Starfall Society had been destroyed because of internal strife. Could this have been related to Falling Star City?

Seeing that Su Nan wasn’t planning to elaborate, Lize didn’t press further. She sighed and said, “Yes, I am indeed a member of the Starfall Society. Falling Star City was created by our organization.”

Hesitating for a moment, she finally chose to tell the truth.

“After Falling Star City was built, the Starfall Society had a disagreement on how to handle it. External forces took advantage of the internal conflict and interfered in the Starfall Society’s affairs, leading to a battle that resulted in heavy casualties for the entire organization. Only I survived.”

“But I was also severely injured. To prevent Falling Star City from falling into the hands of external forces, I had to activate its teleportation program and hide in the depths of the Rainbow Sea. By then, I was already at the end of my rope, on the brink of death.”

“I couldn’t bear to die like that, so I merged my soul with the book I carried with me. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to survive in a spectral form.”

Su Nan asked, “Then what about the key held by the Russell family?”

“When I first became a specter, my power was insufficient, and I fell into slumber. When I woke up, the wizards had already left the Starlight Continent. I was unwilling to live as a specter forever, so I found a way to send the method to enter Falling Star City and the Sun Melting Orb to the Russell family. I hoped that a genius would emerge from the family, ascend to become a wizard, and find a way to resurrect me. Unfortunately, for over two hundred years, I couldn’t find anyone suitable.”

“You didn’t tell them about your existence?”

Lize remained silent for a moment before replying, “Even within the same family, I couldn’t guarantee that everyone was pure of heart.”

Su Nan understood.

Even the most loving families couldn’t avoid having wayward descendants.

If a scheming individual appeared in a certain generation, coveting Lize’s soul, her situation would become extremely dangerous.

The soul of a formal wizard was probably the most valuable treasure in the entire Starlight Continent.

Unless a suitable candidate emerged, she would continue to patiently wait.

“Then why was the Russell family unable to enter Falling Star City later on?” Su Nan continued to ask.

Lize glanced at the crystal clear orb and sighed, “The environment of the Starlight Continent has had a major impact on Falling Star City’s Star Core. Over the years, the energy absorbed by the Star Core has been insufficient to meet its needs. To maintain its operation, Falling Star City closed the entrance channel seven hundred years ago. After that, it gradually shut down most of the facilities inside the city. Only this tower remains operational.”

Hearing this, Su Nan couldn’t help but feel confused.

If Falling Star City had closed its entrance, how did he get in?

Could it be.

As if she had guessed Su Nan’s thoughts, Lize said, “Yes, I was the one who lured you here.”

“Even though I can’t fully control Falling Star City, I still have some authority. For example, I can make it respond to the Sun Melting Orb’s connection.”

“I didn’t have high hopes, but you’re more capable than I thought. You quickly found your way here.”

Speaking of which, Lize couldn’t help but glance at Amy, who was perched on Su Nan’s shoulder.

She suspected that Su Nan’s ability to find Falling Star City might be related to this little thing. Why else would he bring a cat?

This little thing didn’t seem to possess any fighting strength.

Noticing Lize’s gaze, Amy shrunk her body back towards Su Nan’s neck.

“You contacted the Siren Mermaid through this method as well?”

“Yes.”

“What’s your goal?”

“I want to rebuild my body!” Lize emphasized and added, “A body that will allow me to continue my path on the way of a wizard!”

Su Nan furrowed his brow.

If it were just a simple matter of rebuilding a body, even if Lize was a specter, it wouldn’t be too difficult.

Just a legendary knight-level body would be able to accommodate a wizard-level soul.

The Siren Mermaids and the Deep Sea Naga had been at war for so long, surely they could find a complete corpse from a deceased warrior.

However, if she were to be resurrected in that manner, due to the incompatibility between the soul and the body, her power would inevitably plummet. Forget about becoming a wizard, it would be a miracle if she could maintain the level of a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice.

Furthermore, her lifespan would decrease significantly.

After her natural death, she wouldn’t be able to transform into a specter in the same way again.

It was understandable that Lize was unwilling to resurrect using this method with so many drawbacks.

But to rebuild a body that perfectly matched her soul, a wizard’s soul at that, the difficulty was no less than ascending to the wizard realm.

“I haven’t delved into that area, so I can’t help you.” Su Nan shook his head.

“I know a method to rebuild a body, but I lack the necessary materials.”

Su Nan’s expression shifted slightly, “Such as the Heart of the Sea?”

The Heart of the Sea was the essence of the ocean’s power.

The ocean itself had the power to rebuild bodies—like the Siren Mermaids, who were resurrected by the ocean as semi-undead beings—so the Heart of the Sea could also serve as a material for rebuilding a body.

Lize nodded, “The Heart of the Sea is only one of them. I also need Blue Lotus Flame, Sun Phoenix Grass, World Tree Branch, Blackthorn Marrow, Silver Thread Spring Water.”

The more Su Nan listened, the more speechless he became.

Each of these materials was more precious than the last.

The Heart of the Sea was already considered a highly valuable material, yet it only ranked at the bottom of the list.

“The materials you mentioned might have been possible to gather a thousand years ago, but it’s simply impossible on the current Starlight Continent.”

“I know.” Lize pursed her lips, “I can wait. Once the dimensional barrier fully recovers, the Starlight Continent will be able to connect with other dimensions, and collecting these materials will become possible.”

“You’re quite patient.”

“After all, I’m a specter. As long as the book remains, I won’t die.”

At this point, Lize suddenly noticed something amiss. She looked at Su Nan with astonishment.

“You don’t seem surprised at all about the dimensional barrier. Do you already know about the dimensional lockdown?”

“I saw records of this in the Starlight Tower’s archives.”

“Starlight Tower? I remember that’s the legacy left behind by the Dark Throne.”

Lize’s expression changed slightly, and she stopped talking.

The Dark Throne’s modus operandi was well known. They would never generously leave behind knowledge and resources. They must have left a hidden hand, ensuring that whoever received the legacy would be controlled by them.

Since Su Nan had entered the Starlight Tower and emerged from it safely, didn’t that mean he had already

Just as Lize was filled with uncertainty, she heard Su Nan say:

“I destroyed the Starlight Tower.”

Lize was stunned, followed by an expression of disbelief.

Destroyed?

How is that possible?

But Su Nan had no reason to lie to her about this.

She could be considered in his hands now, at his mercy. He had no need to deceive her.

“.You’re not worried about the Dark Throne’s retaliation?”

“Should I be willing to be enslaved by them just because I’m worried?” Su Nan shrugged, “Besides, the multiverse isn’t just the Dark Throne, a single wizard faction. Actually, they have more enemies than friends. If you want to escape their retaliation, there are plenty of ways.”

Lize fell silent.

The more she spoke with Su Nan, the more she realized how inscrutable he was.

He had never experienced the era a thousand years ago, yet he seemed to know everything. This left her baffled.

“You’ve talked so much, but you haven’t mentioned the most important thing.”

Su Nan’s words snapped Lize out of her contemplation.

He looked at Lize with a playful glint in his eyes.

“Collecting so many precious materials is no easy feat. If you want me to help, what kind of reward are you prepared to offer?”

Lize seemed to have a plan ready. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, “I have the Starfall Society’s ‘Falling Star’ Talent Crystal Model, an Advanced Talent Crystal Model. If you agree to help me, I can give you this Talent Crystal Model.”

Su Nan shook his head, “Not enough.”

“An Advanced Talent Crystal Model is nothing special to me. It’s not enough to compensate for my future efforts.”

Lize furrowed her brow, thinking that Su Nan was going to be greedy. She was about to speak, but she saw Su Nan reach out and tap the air, causing countless beams of light to appear and intertwine, forming a mysterious and intricate Crystal Model.

It was the ‘Liquid Metal’ Talent Crystal Model!

Not the Super Talent Crystal Model that Su Nan eventually synthesized, but a ‘semi-finished’ product that was one level higher than Advanced but hadn’t yet reached Super level.

When he synthesized it, he had recorded each of the semi-finished products, thinking that he might need them in the future.

The model before Lize was an illusory projection condensed by his Spiritual Power.

However, even though it was just a semi-finished product that hadn’t reached Super level, it completely captivated Lize’s attention.

Although she had lost her physical body, she still possessed the keen eye of a wizard. She could naturally see the intricacy and complexity of this Talent Crystal Model.

Among all the Advanced Talent Crystal Models, this one could definitely be ranked among the top few!

Su Nan’s next statement further plunged Lize into intense shock.

“This is a Talent Crystal Model that I created.”

Su Nan shamelessly took credit for the Cube’s creation.

“Whether you believe it or not, creating an Advanced Talent Crystal Model is nothing difficult for me. So, the ‘Falling Star’ you mentioned doesn’t have as much value as you think.”

Lize fell silent.

She wanted to question Su Nan’s words, but her reason told her that it was impossible for Su Nan to have come into contact with this kind of top-tier Talent Crystal Model on the Starlight Continent.

It was very likely that, as he said, it was something he had created himself.

If that were true, the ‘Falling Star’ really wasn’t that valuable to him.

At least, if he wanted it, he could easily create another Advanced Talent Crystal Model.

While she was shocked, Lize also realized another thing.

Talent Crystal Models were highly important secrets for any wizard.

Since Su Nan had dared to tell her that he had created a top-tier Advanced Talent Crystal Model, he was undoubtedly trying to convey an attitude.

Either come up with enough compensation and become his partner, or disappear with the secret.

In short, he was playing her like a fiddle!

After a long silence, Lize finally spoke again, her voice strained, “I can give you all the knowledge I possess.”

“For example?”

“The design diagrams of Falling Star City, the design diagrams of the Tentacle Master Puppet, some methods for crafting Fourth-Rank potions and artifacts, and some information about other wizard factions.”

Her resources and magical artifacts had been destroyed in the passage of over a thousand years.

Apart from her soul, the only compensation she could offer now was knowledge and information.

Su Nan’s eyes flickered as he heard this.

After unifying the Starlight Continent, he had diligently collected all sorts of wizard records.

It could be said that his knowledge of the Wizard Apprentice stage was already complete, no different from the wizard era.

But his knowledge of the wizard realm was seriously lacking. He only had a small portion of knowledge from the Starlight Tower.

Spells were alright, with everything up to Fifth Rank.

But the knowledge related to wizard-level puppets, Fourth-Rank potions, and artifacts was scarce.

After all, Lize was a person from the golden age of wizards a thousand years ago, and she was a member of the Starfall Society, so her knowledge must have been vast. Perhaps she could significantly improve the situation in this area.

Of course, that wasn’t enough.

His thoughts raced, but Su Nan remained calm on the surface. He spoke calmly, “Besides that, you will serve me for a thousand years. Even after you successfully rebuild your body, you will continue to serve.”

“You want me to be your subordinate?” Lize’s brow furrowed in displeasure.

Su Nan smiled slightly, “Assistant would be a better description.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything that compromises your dignity or principles. You just need to help me manage the Star Alliance when I’m busy, and occasionally assist me with some experiments. After all, you have nothing to do while you wait for the dimensional barrier to recover. Might as well find something to do, it won’t be so lonely, right?”

Lize fell silent again, her expression shifting back and forth. It was obvious that she was having a mental struggle.

In the end, the lure of rebuilding her body prevailed. She sighed deeply and looked at Su Nan with complex emotions before nodding.

“Alright, I agree.”

“A wise choice.” Su Nan’s lips curled into a smile.

A mere verbal agreement wouldn’t be enough to put someone’s mind at ease. The two of them then finalized all the details, including the various duties of Lize’s role as an assistant, as well as the things she was prohibited from doing that would harm the Star Alliance or Su Nan’s interests.

Most importantly, they had to keep everything a secret.

Even after the thousand-year service period ended, she couldn’t reveal any secrets of the Star Alliance or Su Nan.

After confirming that nothing was overlooked, the two of them signed the Oath Contract.

As the oath’s light flickered and disappeared, Lize breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the future remained shrouded in uncertainty, at least she now had hope of rebuilding her body.

She no longer had to worry about Falling Star City completely running out of energy, trapping her forever in the extradimensional space. (End of Chapter)
