The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 325:The Ancient Insect Disaster

"In the past two months, the number of forces expressing goodwill towards us, both overtly and covertly, has increased significantly."

"Not only Wizard forces, but also many non-Wizard civilizations are actively contacting us."

"Thanks to this, Star Alliance's business has been getting better and better recently."

"Whether it's selling Magic Stones or purchasing materials, it's much smoother than before."

Lize's pleasant voice echoed in the study, her face bearing a joyful smile she couldn't suppress.

Since the news of sky city's completion spread, Star Alliance's situation had undergone a dramatic change.

Many forces, like hungry wolves smelling meat, flocked around, wanting to connect with this rising star, a young force with unlimited potential, vividly illustrating the principle that power is truth.

Su Nan smiled faintly, not surprised by this result at all. After pondering for a moment, he asked:

"What about Wisdom Codex?"

Lize's smile deepened. "I just spoke with Wisdom Codex's envoy. From now on, they will open up more exchangeable resources to us at lower prices, in addition to a series of other collaborations."

"Now we can say that we are completely differentiated from other affiliated organizations of Wisdom Codex. It's more like a strategic partnership than an affiliation."

Su Nan nodded slightly. "There are still discerning people in Wisdom Academy."

With Star Alliance's current strength, it no longer needed Wisdom Codex's protection.

The resources that Wisdom Codex opened for exchange to its affiliated organizations were no longer as attractive to Star Alliance as before.

After years of development and accumulation, Star Alliance already had many other channels to acquire or trade resources.

If Wisdom Codex still treated Star Alliance as an affiliated organization, he would consider leaving Wisdom Codex.

But obviously, Wisdom Academy wasn't so short-sighted. They immediately showed goodwill to Star Alliance, directly elevating them to an equal level of partnership.

In this way, the two sides were essentially equivalent to an alliance.

And it was a closer relationship than a typical alliance.

It was beneficial to both Wisdom Codex and Star Alliance.

"Wisdom Codex also placed a large order for Magic Stones with us, about one-tenth of our annual output," Lize added.

The number of Magic Stones that Star Alliance sold annually was staggering. Even one-tenth of the output was a huge deal.

Su Nan didn't hesitate and immediately decided: "Agree to it."

A Magic Stone sold was a Magic Stone sold. Selling to Wisdom Codex could also consolidate the relationship between the two sides.

In fact, as Star Alliance explored and controlled more and more Planes, the number of Sub-grade magic stone veins under its jurisdiction was also growing at an alarming rate. After all, a considerable number of Planes only had the value of developing Sub-grade magic stone veins.

Therefore, the number of Magic Stones sold by Star Alliance was also gradually increasing every year.

If it weren't for the fact that Magic Stone synthesis required Su Nan's personal involvement, and considering that too many Magic Stones entering the market would lower the price of Magic Stones, Star Alliance's annual output of Magic Stones could be several levels higher.

"Star Alliance's strength has increased a lot, but there is still a significant gap between us and large Wizard forces. For now, the output of Magic Stones shouldn't be increased too much, so as not to attract the covetous eyes of those large Wizard forces."

Su Nan pondered silently.

Currently, the profits from Magic Stone transactions were still enough to support Star Alliance's continued rapid development, and there was no need to rush.

"Has anything else noteworthy happened recently?"

After discussing business, Su Nan routinely inquired.

It was just a casual question, but Lize's answer made him slightly startled.

"Nothing major, but there is something interesting." Lize seemed to suddenly remember something, a smile playing on her lips. "Dark Throne recently encountered a large number of insect beasts while exploring a Plane, and the entire exploration team was annihilated."

Lize's tone carried undisguised schadenfreude.

After all, Dark Throne and Star Alliance were enemies. Hearing that Dark Throne had suffered a setback made her very happy.

Su Nan's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Insect beasts? What kind of insect beasts?"

"I'm not sure about the specifics, but they shouldn't be ordinary insects." Lize shook her head. "According to the information I received, Dark Throne's Plane exploration team was quite strong, led by three Tier 3 Wizards, including a Descendant of True Spirits!"

"To be able to annihilate such a powerful team shows how strong those insect beasts are. No known insect race currently possesses such astonishing combat power. I'm curious where they came from."

Su Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood.

It was highly likely that the ones who annihilated Dark Throne's exploration team were the ancient insect race.

The ancient insect race was an alien insect race from the ancient insect Plane cluster. They were extremely aggressive and destructive, often invading other Planes, bringing death and destruction.

However, this race used to only wreak havoc on individual Planes in remote areas of the Multiverse, so neither Wizards nor gods noticed this race.

It wasn't until later, when the ancient insect race suddenly went crazy and attacked many Planes, even the territories of Wizards and gods, that it attracted the attention of many forces in the Multiverse.

In Su Nan's memory, this war initiated by the ancient insect race spread across most of the Multiverse and was later called the Ancient Insect Calamity.

As for the final result of the war, he had no way of knowing.

Until he transmigrated, the Ancient Insect Calamity showed no signs of ending, and the war against the ancient insects was still raging.

Although the ancient insect race was not well-known, the fact that they could make both Wizards and gods feel overwhelmed and exhausted showed how strong their combat power was.

It was a pity that Su Nan only remembered the Ancient Insect Calamity but not the specific time it occurred.

He didn't expect that there were already signs of it at this time.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Su Nan's expression suddenly become very serious, Lize couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Su Nan said solemnly, "The insect beasts that attacked Dark Throne's exploration team are a dangerous race called the ancient insect race."

Lize was stunned. "You recognize those insect beasts?"

Su Nan didn't hide anything and roughly explained the information about the ancient insect race.

After listening, Lize was somewhat incredulous.

An insect race that even Wizards and gods had difficulty fighting against?

If such a race really existed, why hadn't Wizards and gods noticed it before? What Su Nan said was really unbelievable.

If it weren't for Su Nan's impressive past achievements, Lize's first reaction would have been to think he was talking nonsense.

Seeing the change in Lize's expression, Su Nan didn't mind.

He could understand Lize's reaction.

Back then, until the Ancient Insect Calamity fully erupted, no one would have expected that these insects could bring such a terrifying disaster.

Before that, the ones standing at the top of the Multiverse's food chain had always been Wizards and gods.

No one expected a group of insects to almost capsize these two groups.

"The ancient insects that attacked Dark Throne's exploration team are just the vanguard. There should still be some time before the ancient insect race launches a large-scale invasion. Before that, we need to be prepared, stockpile enough war materials, and strengthen our military power as much as possible."

Su Nan said with a solemn expression.

Lize hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Since the beginning, Su Nan's judgment had never been wrong, so even if she still had doubts in her heart, she still chose to trust Su Nan's judgment at this time.

Seeing this, Su Nan didn't explain further. The future would prove everything he said.

The Ancient Insect Calamity was a huge disaster, but it also contained opportunities.

If they prepared early, Star Alliance might be able to use this disaster to reach a higher level.

Throughout history, war had always been the strongest driving force for the rapid development and growth of forces.

After leaving the study, Su Nan returned to the top floor of Central Crystal Tower.

After sky city was completed, he only rested for a few days before he threw himself back into strengthening sky city.

According to his plan, there were quite a few core facilities in sky city that needed to be strengthened.

These included the Skyborne Device, Mystic Lock Defense System, Ultra-Large Energy Shield Barrier, various Turrets including the Magic Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon, and magic mechs.

To complete the strengthening plan would take a considerable amount of time.

Currently, Su Nan was strengthening the Mystic Lock Defense System.

It wasn't that he didn't want to upgrade and expand sky city, upgrading it to medium or even large scale, but the upgrade of sky city was a process that required a massive investment of resources and was extremely lengthy.

Even for large Wizard forces with deep foundations, the time spent upgrading sky city was often tens of thousands of years.

The main reason was that upgrading core facilities required a large number of rare materials, and just collecting and accumulating these materials was a long process.

As far as Su Nan knew, among the current large Wizard forces, only Deep Blue Alliance, with the longest heritage, possessed a large sky city, which was also the only large sky city in the entire Multiverse.

The sky cities owned by other Wizard forces were all medium and small scale.

As for the super-large sky city known as the Star Fortress, it only appeared in the ancient times several epochs ago and had been destroyed and fallen in the long war.

So far, no Wizard force had been able to reproduce the glory of that time and build a new super-large sky city.

Compared to the long time required to upgrade sky city, strengthening sky city could undoubtedly and immediately improve Star Alliance's combat power and prepare for the upcoming Ancient Insect Calamity.

"After the upgrade and strengthening of sky city is completed, the half-Plane should also be put on the agenda."

The energy particle concentration of ordinary Planes could no longer meet Su Nan's needs.

Even the environment of sky city could only make Su Nan slightly more comfortable and was far from reaching the conditions of the Realm of Truth.

Therefore, many True Spirit Wizards would open up a half-Plane with a high energy particle concentration as their usual resting place.

In addition, the half-Plane was also the key for True Spirit Wizards to break through to higher realms.

The larger and more complete the half-Plane opened up, the higher the probability of breaking through to a higher realm in the future.

Of course, Su Nan was still far from breaking through to a higher realm, which was something that Tier 6 True Spirit Wizards needed to consider.

Furthermore, opening up a half-Plane was no less difficult than building a sky city, and the resources invested were equally astronomical.

Before the upgrade and strengthening of sky city was completed, Star Alliance didn't have the spare capacity to carry out the half-Plane development plan.

Realm of Truth.

As soon as he entered Wizard Town, Su Nan received a message from Meisha and immediately rushed to the meeting place.

Meisha, Morik, and Ortiz were already waiting there.

"Congratulations, Su Nan."

As soon as they met, Meisha offered her congratulations.

Morik and Ortiz then also offered their congratulations with smiles, showing more enthusiasm, even respect, than before.

Today's Su Nan, in terms of status, had already surpassed them and was no less important than Meisha, a Great Scholar of Wisdom Codex.

After some pleasantries, the four quickly got down to business.

"Recently, several Temporary Law Nodes have appeared in the buffer zone near Wizard Town, and the searchable area has been reduced again."

Meisha stretched out her hand, and a map of the Realm of Truth immediately appeared in the void.

The areas where Temporary Law Nodes might appear in the buffer zone were marked in green.

The searchable area of the half of the buffer zone near Wizard Town was only about two-thirds left.

"I suggest we search this area first."

Meisha pointed to the green area on the map. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"If we don't find anything, we'll search towards the area occupied by the gods."

Su Nan and the other two nodded.

In fact, this wasn't the first time they had done this.

They had previously tried to search deeper in the direction of the god-occupied area, but they hadn't found anything.

But in any case, doing so would increase the probability of finding a Law Node.

However, the risk of conflict with the gods was also greater.

All four present were fully prepared.

"Then it's decided. Let's set off now."

Without delay, the four immediately left Wizard Town and went deep into the buffer zone.

Not long after they left, four figures also quietly walked out of Wizard Town.

"When do we make our move?" one of them asked.

If someone familiar with Dark Throne were here, they would be surprised to find that the four people here were all Crown Wizards of Dark Throne.

Since the end of the Wizard Civil War, Dark Throne had never had an operation involving four Crown Wizards at the same time.

If someone saw this scene, they would be shocked.

"No rush," Jude said with an expressionless face. "Let's follow them first. After they encounter a battle and consume most of their power, we'll make our move."

Although Jude was confident that with the strength of the four of them, they could definitely kill Su Nan and the others.

But the targets were, after all, four True Spirit Wizards, including Meisha, a tricky target who had comprehended the Law of Life. If they fought head-on, even if they could win, they would have to pay a considerable price.

It would

be better to follow them secretly and wait for the targets to reveal a flaw before striking decisively. This would undoubtedly be safer.

The other three Crown Wizards looked at each other and agreed to Jude's proposal.

"Alright, let's follow them. Be careful not to be detected by them."

The four quickly followed in the direction Su Nan and the others had left.
