The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

"The progress of the Resonance Anchor is complete... Next, I only need to increase my mental strength to break through to the mid-stage of the fourth-level Morning Star Wizard!"

Lynn's eyes shone brightly; he already had a plan on how to quickly improve his mental strength.

On the other side of the Spirit Eye plane, the Lord of Life and the Spirit of Azure Sky have been absorbing the power of faith for a long time. The essence of each strand of faith power is an extremely small amount of spiritual energy, which accumulates little by little until it becomes a tower.

Once he goes there in person and harvests the faith power accumulated by the Azure Sky Spirit, transforming it into his own spiritual power, he will undoubtedly experience a tremendous boost.

However, Lynn did not rush off, but instead chose to calm down and reflect on what she had gained from this training.

A pure blue crystal ball floated slowly in mid-air, and the figure of the Mad Thorn Wizard could be seen faintly inside.

“I only used one-tenth of the Berserker Thorn Wizard’s soul essence… which means I still have nine chances left to activate the Rogers family’s secret techniques…”

Lynn muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with calculation.

"But I've already extracted one-third of his understanding of the rules of life..."

The Berserker Thorn Wizard is a powerful mid-stage Morning Star Wizard.

Based on his understanding and insights into the rules of life, if measured by a progress bar, it would definitely have already exceeded 20,000 points.

One-third, or seven thousand points of understanding of the rules of life.

Lynn used his seven thousand points of life rule insights to burn and attract other life types. Through his own insights, he gained approximately four thousand points of progress.

The conversion rate is less than half.

"hiss……"

Lynn frowned slightly, clearly sensing a considerable "loss".

"Indeed, while using this secret technique of rules to enhance one's understanding of the rules of life is convenient, the cost is also extremely high."

He shook his head, already having made his judgment.

"Does this mean we have to capture a Morning Star Wizard every time we cultivate? And it has to be a Morning Star Wizard of the Life Rule type, that's quite difficult..."

Lynn muttered to himself, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

Even with the protection of the Azure Sky Spirit, which allows him to challenge opponents of higher levels, he still lacks complete confidence in facing these difficulties.

After all, he deeply understood the saying, "If you walk too much at night, you're bound to encounter ghosts; if you walk by the lake often, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

However, Lynn wasn't entirely worried.

He took a deep breath and slowly analyzed:
"Fortunately, the Berserker Thorn Wizard still has two-thirds of his rule insights that haven't been extracted. If I continue to refine and extract these rule insights, I estimate that I can sense a progress of seven or eight thousand points."

In the short term, at least in terms of understanding the rules, he doesn't need to be too anxious.

....................................

In the Spirit Eye Plane, time has passed. Some time has gone by since the Lord of Life issued the divine decree to completely occupy the Spirit Eye Plane.

During this period, the Lord of Life and his army swept across the entire Spirit Eye Plane like a torrent.

Originally only one-third of the population, the Church of Life quickly spread to other countries, sweeping across the land with unstoppable momentum.

In particular, the news of the fall of the old gods spread wider and wider.

The kingdoms and duchies were shaken and terrified, and they desperately wanted to seek confirmation from the empire.

However, that one vast empire did not respond.

That empire, which has stood since ancient times, is silent and reserved, as if it were a testament to the divine message of the Lord of Life.

What followed was that the once powerful kingdoms and duchies collapsed as if they had fallen into the hands of the Church of Life, and rolled toward unification.

Within just one month, the spread of the Church of Life's faith had almost reached the last bastion, the only empire.

However, what was unexpected was not the heroic counterattack of the imperial army, but the powerful ministers, generals, and high-ranking figures of the temple who originally held high positions.

They almost entirely defected, handing over the lineage of the former empire's king to the expeditionary force and offering it up to the Church of Life.

These surrendered forces were quickly absorbed by the Church of Life, and the remaining bloodline of the empire's rulers was strictly imprisoned and eventually sent to the Church's original temple.

The entire empire, no, the entire Spirit Eye plane, ultimately fell into the clutches of the Cult of Life.

From the Principality of Bulma onwards, the expeditionary force of the Church of Life, like a raging flood, tore apart the boundaries of the world, struck at the heart of the nation, and conquered the One Empire.

The empire's last line of defense crumbled without a single bloody conflict.

At this moment, the Spirit Eye Plane has completely converted to the Lord of Life, and the Church of Life has become the only church in this world.

However, the Lord of Life did not pay much attention to the mundane political aspects.

He did not interfere much, but instead dismantled the empire's territory, dividing it into multiple duchies and kingdoms.

He then declared the Principality of Bulma as the new empire and established His Primal Temple there as the religious and political center for the entire Spirit Eye plane in the future.

In the days that followed, the Lord of Life completely disappeared from the world, and believers only needed to pray devoutly before His statue to receive a divine response.

He no longer appears in the mortal world in person.

As for those mundane matters, He no longer intervenes directly in them.

The nobles of the newly established duchies and kingdoms have the power of free judgment, and everything they do is guided by the doctrines of the Church of Life, becoming the cornerstone of the new order in the Spirit Eye Plane.

In the depths of the boundless sea, lies a massive, uninhabited island.

This tranquil sea was once the place where Lynn and Tina came to obtain the origin of the world.

However, times have changed, and now this isolated island has become a haven for the Lord of Life.

Although the deity dwells here for a long time, almost no one other than Himself can come into contact with Him.

Even those saintly Messiahs who had converted to the Church of Life and received divine life and longevity, or high-ranking members and new believers in other religions, dared not set foot in this place without divine permission.

………………

call out!
Suddenly, a gray flash streaked across the sky.

It approached from afar, as if tearing the sky in two.

This gray line was clearly formed by the rule-based sorcery "Close to Heaven" cast by Lynn.

boom!
Lynn's figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star, forcibly cutting through the thick clouds and instantly revealing a clear blue gap in the sky, the lingering power of the gray line still present.

The next moment, he sped forward and arrived above the boundless sea.

Beneath the surface, raging waves surged and towering columns of water shot into the sky, the waves being cleaved at his feet, splashing seawater everywhere.

Where he passed, the bottom of the deep ocean was revealed, like a dark crack.

Lynn stopped abruptly when he reached the uninhabited island. His feet lightly touched the beach, yet it felt as if he had become one with the island. There was no inertial thrust, no howling wind, and the sand on the island lay there quietly, without any ripples.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Life, far away on the island, had already sensed the news and came to greet Lynn.

A rustling sound came from deep within the jungle, and then a figure emerged.

The figure, dressed in a blue robe, was solemn and holy, radiating a powerful divine aura; he was none other than the Lord of Life.

The most striking feature is the rhomboid mark on the forehead of the Lord of Life.

It presents a deep and rich cyan color, as if it is breathing, with light and dark alternating with each breath, subtly shimmering with a mysterious radiance.

Lynn's gaze lingered on the mark for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Such abundant divinity...it seems the accumulated power of faith must be considerable."

He gently curled his finger, and immediately, the blue rhomboid mark on the forehead of the Lord of Life began to vibrate slightly, as if sensing a summons, and gradually detached from His forehead.

The mark floated in the air like a stream of light, swirling into a true prism before hurtling towards Lynn.

As the cyan rhombus appeared, an incredibly rich life force instantly filled the world.

The aura surged and gushed forth like a tide from all directions, filled with an inexhaustible power, as if the entire world was being drawn by this power and quietly changed.

"Spirit of the Azure Sky, do not disappoint me."

Lynn murmured to himself, his eyes burning with anticipation.

He gently grasped the Azure Sky Spirit with his palm and then infused it with his spiritual power.

In an instant, Lynn felt the immense power emanating from the Spirit of the Azure Sky.

That force was so powerful that it almost broke through the boundaries of his consciousness, like a vast ocean rushing towards him.

"As expected, the power of faith in the Spirit Eye plane is exceptionally abundant." Lynn was shocked.

His thoughts drifted back to the interdimensional expeditions he had participated in in the past.

Although that plane was also a rudimentary civilization, it could absorb far less faith power than this one.

At that time, he had only absorbed the faith accumulated from two or three temples, which restored a great deal of power to the Spirit of the Azure Sky.

Now, however, he is absorbing the power of faith from an entire plane. Although the time is short and the accumulation of the power of faith is not yet enormous, it has already far exceeded the gains from the last expedition.

"Direct absorption!"

Lynn's eyes gleamed with determination, and he began the transformation without hesitation.

He found a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion, quickly mobilized his spiritual power, and ordered the Lord of Life to patrol the surroundings to ensure there were no disturbances.

Fortunately, there were no followers of the Church of Life present, otherwise, if they had seen a deity personally guarding a stranger, their faith might have crumbled due to wavering.

As time passed, Lynn steadily used the Spirit of the Azure Sky to transform the massive amount of faith power into spiritual power, gradually enhancing his spiritual strength.

That power of faith, like a rushing river, surged into Lynn's body, and his mental strength began to steadily increase.

Level 4 Morning Star Wizards are divided into four stages: early level 4, mid level 4, late level 4, and peak level 4.

The final peak stage does not bring an increase in combat power; usually, the combat power of the late stage of level four is almost the same as that of the peak stage.

In the early stages of Level 4, Morning Star Wizards can only passively listen to the power of the rules.

The practice of rule-based witchcraft often places a great burden on mental strength, making it impossible to control one's own body and forcing one to passively accept the effects. This stage is known as the "Anchor of Echoes".

By the mid-stage of level four, the Morning Star Wizard had become more skilled and adept at controlling the power of rules.

They are no longer just passively listening to the whispers of the rules, but are able to actively resonate with them.

The power of the rules seemed to flow naturally into the wizard's body, allowing the wizard to control this power more freely.

This stage is often referred to as the "anchor of resonance," which belongs to the mid-level of level four.

As the resonance deepens, the power of the rules no longer remains confined to the external world; it begins to subtly influence the essence of the wizard.

Personality, temperament, and even physical characteristics will gradually align with the rules one has mastered.

For example, a fire wizard's body temperature will remain constant at the edge of scorching heat, and the blazing flames seem to burn eternally within them.
The emotions of water-based wizards are as calm, deep, and clear as a lake, and no storm can shake their hearts.

Earth-type wizards possess a calm and steady aura, like a majestic mountain, whose heart remains as steadfast as a rock no matter where they are.

The operation of power underwent a qualitative change at this stage.

At this point, the Morning Star Wizard was already able to skillfully control the power of rules and could activate them at will, no longer needing to cautiously test the waters as he did in the early stages of Level 4.

For them, the rules have become an integral part of their being, readily available to be invoked.

At the same time, the Morning Star Wizard can also create a weak but stable "rule field" around himself.

Although this rule field has a limited range, only a few feet, it can still enhance the power of the spells cast by wizards, increasing their strength.

Other power systems outside the rules field will be slightly suppressed.

If you go any further, you will reach the late stage of level four, also known as the "Anchor of the Mind Realm".

This stage requires a deeper integration of the power of rules and spiritual power, thereby opening up one's own mental realm.

The Mind Realm is actually a superior replacement for the permanent magical imprint that a wizard acquires after entering the formal wizard stage.

Once the Mind Realm is opened, the wizard's permanent magical imprint will enter the Mind Realm, which will be filled with the wizard's unique rules.

Take Lynn as an example; at that time, his rules of creation will flow within the mind realm.

If he needs to trigger the creation of rules, he only needs to think about it, and his mind will respond naturally. There is no need for complicated incantations, gestures, or even the power of the rules as a medium.

Of course, Lynn is still some distance away from opening up his mental realm; he is currently still in the mid-stage of striving for the fourth level.

He has fully mastered the power of the Echo Anchor, and the resonance of creating rules is complete, but he still lacks the final step of enhancing his mental strength.

As the power of faith continuously transformed into spiritual strength, Lynn felt that he was gradually approaching the mid-stage of level four, getting closer and closer.

Time flies, and I don't know how much time has passed.

Suddenly, Lynn opened his eyes, and a vast and mighty spiritual energy settled on him, causing the color of the Azure Sky Spirit to dim.

Correspondingly, this vast and mighty spiritual energy immediately combined with the creative rules emanating from his body.

In an instant, a rule field driven by the creation of rules suddenly took shape!

With the formation of the rule field, Lynn's realm has advanced further, breaking through from the early stage of level four to the mid stage of level four! (End of this chapter)
