I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 168 Returning Home (Part Two)

At the same time that the artificial abyss was successfully created, beings from other dimensions also sensed the anomaly.

"They actually succeeded."

Within the Abyss Wizard Academy, in the deepest, most secluded places, two beings are secretly communicating.

However, their communication is very subtle, so even if you know it, it doesn't affect you.

"However, this matter is not important, and it doesn't matter if we know about it, but it is still of some benefit to us."

"That's right. I actually knew these secrets a long time ago, but I didn't tell anyone. After all, we're all from the same academy. If they can succeed, we might be able to learn from them and create our own Abyss."

Legendary wizards approach problems from a different angle. While some beings are pondering how to resolve a situation, these wizards have already considered deeper issues.

The abyssal demons were merely looking to get a share of the spoils, while the wizards were considering how to replicate this experiment and then create a new artificial abyss.

In their view, the greatest advantage of wizards' experiments lies in their replicability.

The fundamental reason why wizard civilization was able to develop so rapidly is that wizard civilization possesses wisdom! Here, wisdom refers to the fact that many experiments among wizards can be replicated or learned on a large scale.

This is a huge advantage.

The ability to copy and learn means that they can be repeated continuously.

Repeating the process allows for faster formation of combat effectiveness.

"When the Dean wakes up, if he can really break through that level, he might be able to try for that position."

"There are only one or two spots available in each era; perhaps the Dean could try to take one."

Thoughts in the void constantly communicate.

The Abyss Wizard Academy is generally quite harmonious. Although the wizards below may see a lot of competition and factional strife, isn't this actually a kind of wisdom?

If everything is stagnant and calm, there will be no competitiveness. The golden age of explosive technological development is the period of war, because only war is the ladder of human evolution.

The same applies to wizards; only pressure can create motivation.

Peacetime is like a stagnant pool; even if there is progress, it is basically just a slow development based on the work of predecessors.

Therefore, not only the Abyss Wizard Academy, but also many forces within the entire wizarding civilization, exist to varying degrees of competition!

This kind of competition is permitted.

It is also recognized by them as a healthy form of competition.

As long as the competition doesn't get out of control, even if some wizards die, it's within acceptable limits.

This is all part of everyone's ambition.

However, in the eyes of the truly elite, top wizards, this competitive relationship is necessary.

They tacitly approved of it; they neither stopped nor refused it, since such competition would also benefit them if it were to spread.

Meanwhile, in the city of machines.

This vast floating continent, entirely composed of machinery, is known to many wizards who have never been to the City of Machines as a massive city built by wizards who follow the path of machinery. However, many wizards have no idea just how big this city is.

Before them stood a vast, floating city of metal and machinery, suspended in the sky.

Countless tiny flying machines, as small as ants, flew back and forth in the sky, shuttling through the void.

This massive mechanical sky continent stretched into the distance, reaching the very edge of the void, and its deeper parts were completely hidden in the vast depths of the sub-plane.

Above this enormous city, a colossal mechanical construct hovered in the sky.

An eye made entirely of machinery is staring intently at the distant sky.

—The Eye of Data.

These are the eyes of the mechanical city.

However, although this eye is suspended in the sky, very few people can see it.

Many spaceships and wizards passed by, completely ignoring the eye, as if they hadn't noticed its existence at all.

This eye, resembling an eye demon, with countless data chains extending into the depths of the void from its enormous eye's edge, slowly rotated, observing the surrounding void.

In reality, it wasn't monitoring the Divine Annihilation Continent. As one of the strongholds of the wizard civilization, the Divine Annihilation Continent had numerous wizarding forces, and the wizards' methods were extremely diverse, so there was no need to be on guard here.

There's no need to worry about enemies sneaking out from other places.

Therefore, most of the data eye's energy is used to detect the void further away, while the data eye here is the only one monitoring the local area, using only a very small portion of the traffic.

But today, this data eye has undergone some changes.

Countless data streams suddenly appeared inside the originally pale blue and transparent eyes, and the information torrent generated by these data streams every second was an extremely terrifying number.

A few seconds later, the torrent of data stopped, and the pale blue, transparent data eye suddenly turned red!

After turning completely red, the Eye of Data has undergone some evolution!

This change only occurs when the data eye is operating at high power.

"What happened?" In that instant, countless intelligent machines on the vast floating continent of the Mechanical City paused for a mere 0.1 microsecond.

Everything returned to normal in the next moment.

Only a very small number of people know this.

"A second abyss?" Almost simultaneously, a unified voice emerged from the depths of countless intelligent machines in the mechanical city.

……

Not long after returning to the Demon City of the Abyss Wizard Academy, two uninvited guests arrived. Lynn received them, for the two were none other than Harlin and Serena. Upon seeing Harlin again, Lynn noticed that his aura was even more profound than when he had met him recently, clearly indicating that Harlin had gained considerable benefits during the creation of this artificial abyss.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If there were no benefit, these wizards wouldn't have gone to such lengths to create an artificial abyss.

"Hmm." A hint of wistfulness flashed in Harlin's eyes as he looked at the two younger men before him, a sense of accomplishment appearing in his eyes.

Harlin looked at Lynn, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "I thought you would follow in the footsteps of those who came before you, but I didn't expect you to have forged your own future so early."

Lynn was not arrogant; he bowed slightly to express his respect for Harlin.

"But there's nothing wrong with following in others' footsteps. At least the path ahead will be clearer." Harlin shook his head. "We wizards aren't like other professions where we completely copy other people's paths. Every wizard will eventually develop their own unique style."

"But it's rare for someone like you to develop their own unique style so early. However, you're not the only one researching the fusion of divine and demonic powers. I remember that other wizards have also studied this direction before. I'll look for relevant information for you later," Harlin said after a moment of contemplation.
