The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 322:Promotion to Level Five, Domain of Laws

After perfecting the long-range firepower and the Sky Tower, Su Nan immediately began the formation of the golem legion.

In his vision, the main force of the golem legion would consist of legendary puppets such as iron golems, high-level spider puppets, and adamantine golems.

Using these legendary-level puppets as the backbone, he would build an entire golem legion.

As for the core combat power, it would be composed of wizard-level puppets like shadow steel golems, diamond golems, master puppets, secret puppets, and Supreme Golems.

However, considering the cost of wizard-level puppets, their proportion would not be too high, initially estimated at around 3%.

The proportion of wizard-level puppets could be gradually increased later.

Although it's only about 3%, it's important to note that in Su Nan's plan, the number of puppets in the Sky City's golem legion would reach as many as 200,000.

3% of that is 6,000!

To put it into perspective, the Star Alliance, excluding the built-in golem legions of the wizard towers, only has a little over 10,000 wizard-level puppets in total, including the Witch Hunter Legion, the regular legions, and the plane defense forces.

A single Sky City's wizard-level puppets would be equivalent to half of the Star Alliance's, which shows just how staggering the number is.

Given the large number of puppets, Su Nan directly assigned the manufacturing of all legendary-level puppets and most wizard-level puppets as tasks to be handled by the wizards under his command.

The Star Alliance has grown to the point where the total number of wizards has surpassed 7,000 and is rapidly approaching 10,000.

Not long ago, four planes, including Yake Plane and Bear Eye Plane, were successively transformed, increasing the number of human planes in the Star Alliance to ten.

After that, three more planes joined the transformation process.

With a solid foundation of sufficient population, the number of wizards in the Star Alliance has been growing rapidly.

Su Nan estimates that in at most three to four hundred years, the total number of wizards in the Star Alliance should break through the 10,000 mark.

In addition, the total number of second-level wizards in the Star Alliance is approaching 300.

And not long ago, Scepter, Fakado, and Rose had all advanced to become third-level wizards.

Thus, below Su Nan, the Star Alliance now has a total of four third-level wizards.

The lack of high-end combat power has been greatly compensated for.

The manufacturing of wizard-level puppets is also mostly entrusted to these second and third-level wizards.

As for the Supreme Golems and construct lifeforms, only Su Nan himself can manufacture them.

In the entire Star Alliance, he is the only one with the ability to create third-level puppets.

The Supreme Golems are relatively easier; Su Nan has prior experience in manufacturing them, and with sufficient materials, it's only a matter of time.

As for the construct lifeforms, although they are precious, they are not prohibited strategic materials among the major wizard factions.

Even without blueprints, he could simply purchase a construct lifeform, disassemble it for research, and eventually reverse-engineer the blueprints, though it would take more time.

However, Su Nan didn't want to waste too much time and directly spent magic stones to purchase the corresponding blueprints from the Wisdom Codex.

In addition, there were the experimental notes that Meisha had promised to give him.

With the blueprints and experimental notes, Su Nan quickly became familiar with the structure of the three types of construct lifeforms.

His [Puppet Crafting] skill level, though not as high as his [Magic Item Crafting], was still at level 7, close to level 8, which was sufficient for crafting construct lifeforms.

"I can start by crafting Supreme Golems. The experience points provided by 100 Supreme Golems should be enough to level up my [Puppet Crafting] to level 8, making it easier to craft construct lifeforms later."

After careful consideration, Su Nan decided to choose the Mana Mechs as the final combat sequence for the Starlight Sky City.

In terms of combat power, Mana Mechs are superior to both Mithril Sages and Arcane Guardians.

In terms of cost, with his ability to synthesize soul crystals, the cost of manufacturing Mana Mechs is lower for him compared to other wizards.

Overall, the cost-effectiveness of manufacturing Mana Mechs is undoubtedly higher.

Su Nan initially planned to manufacture 30 Mana Mechs.

However, the difficulty of crafting these construct lifeforms is not much lower than that of divine golems, and the materials are also hard to collect. It would likely take a considerable amount of time to achieve the planned goal.

"I can slow down the progress of plane exploration and transformation slightly, allocating more resources to puppet manufacturing, aiming to complete it within a hundred years."

"Once the golem legion is complete, and the Skyborne Device is manufactured, the Sky City will be considered finished."

Su Nan let out a long breath and left the Sky City to enter the Realm of Truth.

Time flies, and years pass like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, it was the year 4328 of the Starlight Calendar.

It had been over 400 years since Su Nan first entered the Realm of Truth.

During this time, he had been teaming up with Meisha and the others to search for Temporary Law Nodes, but unfortunately, they had found nothing.

Along the way, they had also encountered many deities.

However, in the absence of conflicting interests, both they and the deities wisely chose to avoid conflict, merely exchanging glances before passing by.

Although they hadn't found any new Law Nodes, thanks to the unique environment of the Realm of Truth, Su Nan's speed of comprehending laws was still quite impressive. The Law of Gravity was just one step away from reaching the Manipulation level.

In a tower in the northwest of Wizard Town, Su Nan sat cross-legged, completely immersed in his cultivation.

In the invisible void, strands of Law Power rushed into his body, synthesized by the Magic Cube, and then slowly circulated through his limbs and bones before gradually dissipating over time.

With each strand of synthesized Law Power dissipating, his comprehension of the Law of Gravity deepened slightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Nan's consciousness suddenly trembled, and in that instant, he felt an indescribable sensation rise within him. The subtle barrier that had existed between his true spirit and the Law of Gravity in the void seemed to dissipate, and the connection between the two deepened significantly.

Su Nan's heart stirred, and he opened his eyes to summon his status panel.

[Su Nan·Yanest, Male/True Spirit Wizard (Manipulation Level)]

[Mastered Laws]

Law of Gravity: 100 Energy Level

Law of Thunder: 6.89 Energy Level

"Finally, I've broken through."

A smile appeared on Su Nan's face.

From the time he advanced to a True Spirit Wizard until now, nearly 700 years had passed, and he had finally raised the Law of Gravity to 100 energy levels.

Although he had advanced as a True Spirit Wizard with dual laws, as long as any one law reached 100 energy levels, he could advance to the Manipulation level, which is the fifth level of wizardry.

To be honest, this speed of advancement was already quite astonishing.

It's not uncommon for ordinary True Spirit Wizards to take tens of thousands of years to reach the Manipulation level, let alone in just under 700 years.

If this were to spread, the halo of genius around him would only grow brighter.

Coming back from his joy, Su Nan began to experiment with his newly enhanced power.

The Manipulation level refers to a True Spirit Wizard's ability to proficiently apply a particular law, with a significant improvement in the understanding and application of Law Power.

The most obvious sign is the ability to temporarily exclude other laws within a certain area, leaving only the law they have mastered, thus forming a Law Domain.

As Su Nan willed it, the void within a kilometer radius around him suddenly stagnated, as if some invisible change had occurred.

In Su Nan's perception, in that instant, most of the laws within the kilometer radius had been expelled, leaving only the Law of Gravity.

A Law Domain!

This was the signature ability of a fifth-level True Spirit Wizard.

Within the Law Domain, unless countered with Law Power or similar forces, the True Spirit Wizard was nearly invincible.

Even within a deity's divine realm, a fifth-level wizard could use the Law Domain to resist the divine realm's power suppression.

"A powerful ability!"

Su Nan nodded to himself.

With this ability, he could even single-handedly confront a large wizard tower and potentially destroy it!

"The precision of my control over the Law of Gravity has also improved significantly."

Su Nan willed it, and in the void around him, more than a dozen fist-sized Gravity Black Holes suddenly appeared, distorting the surrounding space like wrinkles.

In the next moment, the more than a dozen Gravity Black Holes suddenly converged, merging into a single, larger Gravity Black Hole, the size of a human head.

As the black hole formed, the distortion of the surrounding void became even more pronounced, with countless spiderweb-like spatial cracks appearing.

Just by looking at it, one could feel its terrifying power!

After experimenting for a while, Su Nan reluctantly stopped.

"The Law Power at the Manipulation level is indeed formidable."

"I wonder what the Law Power at the Dominion level would be like?"

Su Nan's eyes flashed with longing, but he quickly shook his head.

"Divine Sparks, Enlightenment Potions, synthesized Law Power, Law Nodes, and the special environment of the Realm of Truth—with all these methods, it still took me 700 years to raise the Law of Gravity to 100 energy levels."

"And now the Divine Sparks are all used up. Without new Law Nodes, it would be wishful thinking to raise the Law of Gravity to the Dominion level in less than ten thousand years."

The Manipulation level corresponds to 100 to 999 energy levels, a span nine times that of the Mastery level to the Manipulation level! Without the assistance of Divine Sparks and Law Nodes in cultivation, raising a law by 900 energy levels would take at least ten thousand years, and that's a conservative estimate.

Not to mention, Su Nan also has the Law of Thunder to raise.

Thinking of this, the joy from his breakthrough diminished somewhat.

"The energy level of the Law of Gravity can continue to increase, but there won't be a qualitative change in the short term."

"It would be better to raise the energy level of the Law of Thunder first. Once the Law of Thunder also breaks through to the Manipulation level, my power will increase significantly."

"Oh, I almost forgot about the Law Core."

Su Nan focused his senses and found that as his law energy level broke through, the faint sense of burden from the Law Core deep within his consciousness had weakened significantly.

"I can try to further strengthen the Law Core to accommodate more and higher energy levels of Law Power."

Su Nan had tried to create a second Law Core to contain Thunder Law Power, but the result had left him somewhat disappointed.

The capacity of his consciousness to accommodate Law Cores was limited. It wasn't that he couldn't accommodate multiple Law Cores, but the total capacity couldn't exceed that of the current Law Core.

In other words, the amount of high-energy Law Power he could control was limited.

Given this, Su Nan had to abandon the idea of creating a second Law Core, and the current Law Core would only be used to contain Gravity Law Power.

After all, at the same energy level, the Law of Gravity is clearly stronger than the Law of Thunder.

Having quickly made up his mind, Su Nan steadied his thoughts and focused once again on his cultivation.

In the following period, Su Nan returned to his previous routine of shuttling between the Realm of Truth and Starlight City, focusing entirely on cultivation and the construction of the Sky City.

He left the Fallen Spirit Plane and found another plane where the Law of Thunder was more prominent, using it as his permanent cultivation site.

It wasn't that the efficiency of comprehending laws in the Thunder Elemental Plane was low, but the entry into the Thunder Elemental Plane was irregular, and each time he entered, the Thunder Elemental Space was random.

This meant that every time he entered the Thunder Elemental Space, Su Nan had to choose a new cultivation site and set up defensive formations again.

This would undoubtedly waste a lot of time and energy.

So he simply found a suitable plane to use as his cultivation site, as the effect was almost the same.

The difficulty of comprehending elemental laws is lower than that of rule-based laws, and the energy levels can be raised more quickly.

Su Nan estimated that without other external assistance—such as Law Nodes and Divine Sparks—it would take about two to three thousand years to raise the Law of Thunder to 100 energy levels.

As for the Sky City, the construction of the golem legion was also progressing steadily.

"You've broken through?"

When they met again, Meisha keenly sensed the change in Su Nan and couldn't hide her surprise.

For high-level True Spirit Wizards, it's easy to sense the changes in the law fluctuations of lower-level True Spirit Wizards.

Before today, as a fifth-level wizard, Meisha could easily sense the flow of Law Power in Su Nan.

But now, she couldn't sense it at all.

In her perception, the law fluctuations in Su Nan had completely disappeared, as if he were a third-level wizard who hadn't yet advanced.

This meant that Su Nan had become a True Spirit Wizard of the same level as her!

Morik and Ortiz also quickly noticed the change in Su Nan.

Not long ago, they could still sense the law aura in Su Nan, but now they couldn't perceive it at all.

Almost immediately, they came to the same conclusion as Meisha and were equally shocked.

"I just broke through not long ago," Su Nan admitted frankly. "Thanks to the special environment of the Realm of Truth."

"..."

Meisha and the others were speechless, feeling a strong sense of awe.

While the Realm of Truth does significantly improve the efficiency of True Spirit Wizards in comprehending laws, it's not that exaggerated.

Morik and Ortiz, who had also been cultivating in the Realm of Truth, were still at the Mastery level, and they had been cultivating for much longer than Su Nan, yet he had quickly surpassed them and left them far behind.

Such a huge gap left them with nothing but shock and awe.

Even Meisha, who had always been optimistic about Su Nan, didn't know what to say at this moment.

Too monstrous!

After a long while, Meisha finally digested the news and looked at Su Nan with a complicated expression.

"This is good news for us as well. Our team's strength has increased, and we can now consider venturing deeper into the areas occupied by deities."

Morik and Ortiz exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Recently, they had been searching in the middle of the buffer zone and the areas near Wizard Town, but without any success.

Moreover, with several Temporary Law Nodes being discovered in this area recently, the searchable area had shrunk further, making the chances of finding a Law Node even slimmer.

If they could move closer to the areas occupied by deities, expanding the search area, the chances of finding a Law Node would be greater.

Su Nan thought for a moment and had no objections.

Seeing this, Meisha made the decision.

"Then it's settled." (End of Chapter)
