Arcane Lord

But eternal life does not have to be obtained at once. Immortality itself can be regarded as one of the steps on the ladder of eternal life. Xia Duo has gone much deeper than ordinary people on this.

He believed that he had a chance to see true immortality. At worst, he could also take the path to godhood. However, there were too many black boxes and it was not yet certain whether there were irreversible hidden dangers on this path.

If it can be determined that there are no irreversible hidden dangers, and there is no arcane way to go, it may not be the last resort.

Although Xia Duo had no intention of ascending to the gods, he had not missed any of the relevant preparations. He had no shortage of the power of order and the power of faith. As long as he wanted to, he could perform the ceremony of ascending to the gods at any time.

It is precisely because of this that he pays special attention to the more common arcane path.

To use a metaphor that may not be appropriate, ascension to the gods is to reach the sky and become an elder in one step; while the arcane path starts from the grassroots, gradually promotes, and eventually becomes an elder, but every step in the middle is well-founded and traceable. And it can be a path for others to follow.

Although Xia Duo wanted to reach the sky in one step, honestly speaking, he still felt that step-by-step progress was more beneficial to his personal development.

In the magical world, gods may be the upper limit of the path to godhood, but being god-like is not necessarily the upper limit of the arcane path. It may even be possible to surpass gods!

Without an understanding of the key steps of advancement, everything that follows is based on an unknown black box, and the road will only get narrower.

But the arcane path is based on universal laws, and the road will only get wider and wider.

The most important thing is that the road to divine ascension is destined to be a one-man road. In the future, only one person can walk alone. However, the arcane road brings together the wisdom of an entire civilization. It is not difficult for Sha Duo to make a choice. make judgments.

Of course, the best situation for him is actually to have a trustworthy god to cooperate with him in various research on the arcane path.

The most ideal one is of course Ms. Mystery, but we can only think about this kind of thing. Even if it is a princess, Princess Xia Duo before she ascended to the gods might be able to discuss some cooperation with her, but he almost stayed away from the princess after she ascended to the gods.

The power gap is really too big to establish trust at all. The other party may trust him, but he may not necessarily trust the other party.

Similar to how mice and cats collaborate to study how to make mice become cat-like beings, it is unlikely that a normal mouse would come up with such an idea.

The next best thing is to wait for the arcane path to reach its final threshold, find a hostile god, capture it, study it or just attack it, maybe you can let the arcane path pass that threshold smoothly. .

However, fighting with gods or cooperating with gods is still too far away, but research on the Grand Arcanist is not far away at all. In other words, this should be a great cause for which Shado needs to invest more time, energy and resources. .

However, this subject is still too grand. Xia Duo has no clue at all and can only make some inferences based on the God Ascension Ceremony. Most of these inferences cannot be verified or are difficult to verify.

Only when civilization develops, gathers the strength and wisdom of more people, and works together can there be any hope.

This road is destined to be difficult, and may even subvert the existing order of the entire universe.

Think about it, in a large plane, only a few creatures may be able to successfully ascend to godhood, but if the arcane path is taken, countless god-like existences may appear in just one plane.

What an exaggerated and terrifying scene this is!

This road is not only difficult in itself, but also has many external factors. The biggest uncertainty factor is the gods. A bad thing may be the result of the destruction of the gods.

But no matter what, it is always right to accumulate strength first. The gods are still too far away. The biggest crisis in the main plane at the moment should be the collapse of the Dragon Madness Mystery Chain and the demon's change of time and space.

If you can't even pass the current level, then you won't be able to get rid of the gods, and it's very likely that there will be no future.

Especially the crisis of demons changing time and space, it is very likely that even if they escape from the main plane, they will be affected.

Therefore, after Xia Duo had settled the new apprentices, he immediately dispatched personnel to establish a plane exploration center. There was no need to find another location, just on the plane exploration layer of the Tower of Time.

There are a total of twelve high-level mages. Although they have not yet passed the level 10 mage class assessment, they can still perform operations according to his instructions without any problem.

The current director of this plane exploration center is Devine. Previously, as an astral mage whom Sha Duo vigorously trained, he had done a lot of paving the way for the establishment of this official organization.

Later, he was involved in Sha Duo's first inheritance ceremony at the Tower of Time. At present, Devine has not reached the level of a high-level mage, nor has he passed the class assessment of a level 10 mage, but as Sha Duo's weak time Partner, and currently the only astral mage candidate for the Tower of Time, if you ask Shado whether he supports Dwayne as the supervisor, then he definitely supports it!

In addition to twelve high-level or quasi-high-level mages, including Devine, the Plane Exploration Center also equipped each of them with two new mages as assistants.

At present, their main job is to continuously accumulate detection data to facilitate Xia Duo's summary. Of course, they can also try to summarize on their own.

As for how to accumulate, it is to use the plane exploration array to conduct "deep space exploration" in the etheric layer uninterruptedly. This is a huge consumption of plane crystals. Fortunately, Wade compensated Shado with a plane crystal for his previous actions against the Savile Territory, otherwise he really couldn't make this decision.

But only this spare one is not enough. Maybe he can buy it from the Seven Towers, but it is obvious that the Seven Towers can't sell it on demand, and the price of such important strategic materials is also worth discussing. If it is delayed a little, it may take months or even years to calculate.

Xia Duo doesn't want to delay the exploration, so the construction of the [World Incubator] is even more necessary. He wants to try to obtain plane crystals by destroying half planes.

It can be foreseen that this will never be a very smooth road, but Xia Duo has prepared himself to pile up with quantity, and even building a few more [World Incubators] is not a problem.

The time required for the real plane creation is too long, and it can be prepared now. This facility can only perform one task at a time. If you want to perform the real plane creation task, you can't do other things.

In summary, Xia Duo needs to build at least two [World Incubators] in the floating city.

One is for the future, dedicated to the creation of real planes, and the other is for the present, mainly used as a demiplane factory to support the construction of floating city infrastructure, plane storage chamber of commerce, plane crystal acquisition and other plans that require demiplanes.

If it is for the future, one is enough, after all, the cycle is too long and there are too many variables, but if it is for the present, only one [World Incubator] may be slightly insufficient.

The biggest consumption point of the demiplane in the future may be the plane crystal.

Xia Duo plans to decide how many [World Incubators] to build based on the "explosion rate" of the plane crystal after the destruction of the demiplane, and must ensure the continuous operation of the plane exploration center.

In addition, the plane exploration array of the Tower of Time also needs to be updated and expanded, which is also one of the things that need to be considered in the near future.
