Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

As the sun began to set, three small mountains of corpses, all of them top-quality "materials," piled up around Lynn.

He collected all the corpses into the undead realm, then continued deeper into the royal city in search of other valuable loot.

This world must have some valuable "special products," and the royal palace has the highest probability of producing "gold."

Royal Palace Treasury

Lynn stood in front of the collapsed palace gate, raised his hand and waved, scattering the rubble.

The treasure vault's door was revealed; it was a heavy iron gate, engraved with warning and defensive runes.

He raised his right hand, and death energy transformed into a sharp blade. With a few slashes, the runes shattered, and the iron gate crashed to the ground.

The treasure vault was overflowing with things.

Gold bars, silver coins, jewelry, artwork...

These worldly riches are of little significance to wizards, but in large quantities they can be traded for supplies.

With a wave of his hand, Lynn collected them all into the "Dimensional Space".

After advancing to the third ring, the ability to control space is greatly enhanced, and the dimensional space and the undead space are also ridiculously large.

Magical materials area.

Dozens of shelves were filled with various materials.

The bones, scales, and blood of magical beasts; rare ores; energy-containing plants; and crystals that seal away magic.

Lynn's eyes lit up slightly as he scanned the messy materials and collected them all.

It can be used to study the species of this other world.

Documentation section.

Millions of ancient books filled several bookshelves.

There are historical records, cultivation techniques, magic research notes, and alchemy recipes.

Lynn scanned through the books one by one, adding all the analysis to his memory library, and also taking all the physical books with him.

For wizards, knowledge is extremely valuable, even knowledge from other worlds.

Equipment area.

Dozens of top-tier weapons and armor pieces hang on the wall, mostly for melee classes. Judging from their magnificent appearance, some are exclusive to royalty.

These should be the weapons and equipment of emperors throughout history.

Nothing more to say, I'll take them all.

Deep within the treasure vault, there was a small door with even more intricate runes engraved on it, clearly indicating that the real treasure lay within.

It's unknown whether the royal family took anything with them when they fled.

Lynn broke open the door with a few slashes and went inside.

There were only three stone platforms inside, and one thing was placed on each platform.

Not bad, it wasn't a waste of time.

On the first stone platform was a fist-sized crystal with flames burning inside.

Lynn leaned closer and saw that the flames were golden and exuded a sacred aura.

This is a Holy Fire Crystal, a top-tier material of the Holy Light type, which can be used to forge weapons that counter the undead.

On the second stone platform was a thin booklet with a cover made of an unknown animal hide, on which were written four words: "True Explanation of Holy Light".

Lynn opened it, and inside was recorded the world's top-tier Holy Light cultivation technique.

It seems to be a cultivation method practiced by royalty.

He was scared away by the army of the undead while cultivating holy light; how cowardly!

He scanned it with the [Analysis] tool, added it to his memory library, and also took the physical book.

On the third stone platform is a ring.

The silver ring is set with a pale blue gemstone, within which clouds seem to flow.

Lynn picked up the ring, [Analysis] Feedback.

The ring contains life energy in its mist, which slowly nourishes the spirit and heals injuries. When wearing it while sitting quietly, the mist will automatically surround the body, accelerating the recovery of physical strength and magic.

It's just so-so.

He left the treasury and continued his search throughout the royal city.

Three days later, he had searched the entire royal city thoroughly.

Take all the valuable treasures, materials, documents, and equipment you can.

He had no interest in the survivors and let them continue to hide, since the undead were still hunting them down anyway.

We can just wait until the undead minions take them down before reaping the rewards.

With nothing else to do, Lynn began to study the abilities of his "pseudo-world will".

Lynn sat cross-legged atop the ruined tower, closing his eyes and concentrating.

His consciousness sank into the depths of the world, into that hazy space, where thirty chains of rules glowed within him, echoing the remaining bands of light deep within the world.

He tried to concentrate and focus on a specific area.

A picture came to mind.

Three hundred miles north of the capital, in a valley, a group of survivors hid in a cave, the entrance of which was blocked with a huge rock.

The dead are searching the vicinity, but have not found them.

With a thought, Lynn caused the boulder to roll down from the cave entrance, revealing the hidden opening.

The survivors screamed in terror, thinking a monster had arrived, and desperately tried to crawl back into the cave.

Lynn opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He truly has the potential to influence the world.

Although it's only a very slight effect, it changes the nature of a stone, changes the direction of the wind, makes it rain in one place, and makes it sunny in another.

These changes are not significant, and their effects are far less than those of witchcraft, but they do indeed involve manipulating the world through one's own actions.

Moreover, he can use the power of rules to perceive the movements of the entire world.

Is this what the way of Heaven feels like?

Lynn was immersed in this state, constantly trying out various abilities.

By mobilizing the earth's veins, a small mountain trembled violently.

It stirred up the winds and clouds, causing a rare torrential rain in a certain area.

Connect with the power of the stars and light up an exceptionally bright star in the night sky.

He also discovered that he could use the rules to suppress other wizards who entered this world.

Although the effect is limited, he at least has the advantage of terrain if someone wants to make a move against him here.

The only limitation is that these abilities can only be used within this world.

Once he leaves, his connection with the world will be severed, and these abilities will disappear.

"What a pity." Lynn shook his head. "If I could fully refine these thirty rules and take them with me, that would be the real gain."

However, he also knew that was unrealistic.

The rules are integrated into the body, but that doesn't mean he can carry the world around.

Unless... it can be refined into a "small world within the body" that belongs to oneself.

...

On the fifth day, the communication stone slab vibrated.

Isaac's voice came through: "Lynn, the main planet has been breached, and the main resistance has been eliminated. How's the situation on your end?"

Lynn stood up and said to the stone slab, "The entire world of Ella has fallen, and the resistance has been largely eliminated. This planet has been captured."

Isaac's tone carried a hint of surprise:

"Good efficiency. The main planet is too big. I need some time to deal with it. You continue to stay here until the academy sends people to take it over. You can come back when they arrive."

"clear."

Communication was cut off.

Lynn put away the stone tablet and continued his scavenging and research.

Invading other worlds in the future will inevitably lead to clashes with the will of the world, and the suppression of wizards by the will of the world will have a significant impact on him.

He wanted to figure it out completely here and see if there was a way to circumvent this suppression.
