Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 486 - 281: Outbreak of Civil War (2)



After supplementing the puppet battle losses in the Divine Corpse contest, the Star Alliance quickly began forming the fifth group army.

In addition, the restoration of the Wizard Tower was also swiftly put back on schedule.

To expedite the enhancement of the Star Alliance’s power, Sunan specifically issued a new policy permitting his Wizards to prepay a portion of Contribution Points, enabling them to redeem a Wizard Tower in advance, with the balance to be paid in installments over the next century.

This policy immediately earned the support of all Wizards.

Especially Wizards like Cole, Attila, Tajana, and Fleming, who had already accumulated most of their Contribution Points, redeemed their Wizard Towers at the first opportunity after the policy was issued.

Those like Fakado, Rose, and others who had already exchanged for a Wizard Tower promptly upgraded their small Wizard Towers to medium-sized ones.

Lize was no exception; the only large Wizard Tower seized from the Black Rope Tower naturally became hers.

Besides the Wizard Tower, the construction of the Stellar Fortress was also in full swing.

In the battle against the Black Rope Tower, the Stellar Fortress had already proven its combat prowess.

While the Star Alliance needs time to gradually accumulate Wizard Towers, the Stellar Fortress is undoubtedly the best supplement to the power of war constructs.

Similarly, the flying fleet needs continued formation.

In other aspects, the expansion of the Demon Pattern Knight Order can only proceed step by step.

After all, even with support from Dragon Blood Fruits and Dragon Blood Potions, training Knights cannot be done overnight; it ultimately requires time.

The dragon troops are no exception.

After establishing trade channels successively with the Wisdom Code and All Things City, Sunan procured many resources to expedite the cultivation of High-tier Sub-dragon Species.

For example, Dragon Crystals.

These are peculiar crystals occasionally born from the corpses of deceased Dragons, containing the essence of the entire dragon corpse, capable of significantly accelerating the growth of Sub-dragon species creatures.

Thanks to this, the acceleration in the bloodline concentration enhancement of High-tier Sub-dragon species groups leapt a considerable notch.

Now, there are dozens of Sub-dragon species groups in the Dragon Forest with bloodline concentrations exceeding 90%, totaling in the thousands.

That being said, bloodline evolution remains a difficult milestone to surpass.

The Star Alliance currently only has over fifty Giant Dragons.

Sunan estimates that they’ll have to wait a bit longer, until the bloodline concentration of the Sub-dragon species groups increases again to reach the evolution point, after which the Giant Dragon numbers might see an explosive growth.

The Witch Hunting Legion also needs continued expansion.

In plane wars, Wizard-level puppets have always been core forces.

Especially as the Star Alliance’s current number of Wizards is far fewer than most second- or third-rate Wizard Influences, they need Wizard-level puppets as supplements.

Sunan’s goal is to expand the Witch Hunting Legion to a scale of thousands.

This is a challenging goal requiring enormous resources.

"The Star Alliance currently has just two planes, the Starlight Continent and Wolf Tide Plane. Just these two planes are enough to support a third-rate Wizard Influence, but if we want to expand, it is still far from enough."

"For the Star Alliance to develop rapidly, at this stage we still rely on profits from selling magic stones."

The premature outbreak of the Wizard civil war disrupted Sunan’s plans.

Originally, he intended to attempt to capture one or two planes before the civil war arrived.

If successful, with more territory and resources, the Star Alliance’s development speed could reach a new level.

Unfortunately, plans can’t keep up with changes.

"But looking at it positively, this Wizard civil war may not be a bad thing for the Star Alliance."

Sunan mused silently.

Under normal circumstances, without hundreds or thousands of years, the Star Alliance would find it difficult to enter the ranks of second-rate Wizard Influences.

But if in this war they can conquer several planes and seize more Wizard Towers, they could significantly shorten this time.

There’s a chance, once the Wizard civil war ends, the Star Alliance could squeeze into the ranks of second-rate Wizard Influences.

This is not an impossible feat.

All in all, with adequate resource backing, everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

After arranging all affairs and delegating specific tasks to others, Sunan turned to immerse himself in cultivation.

Atop the Starlight Wizard Tower, beside the Elemental Pool.

Sunan sat cross-legged on the spot, contemplating the Seven-Colored Crystal in his palm.

This crystal, bearing the power of law, although only as large as an egg, was significantly more valuable than a large Wizard Tower.

At least, if Sunan took this law crystal out for a transaction, many Wizards would eagerly exchange a large Wizard Tower for it.

After all, with this law crystal, the chance to advance to a True Spirit Wizard can increase by at least one or two percent!

Despite seeming like only one or two percent, it’s worth considering that the normal chance for a Level 3 Wizard to ascend to True Spirit is less than one percent.

For this one or two percent chance, most Level 3 Wizards are willing to pay a steep price.

Even True Spirit Descendants are no exception!

However, under normal circumstances, no Wizard Influence would risk damaging the law source veins just to manufacture a law crystal considered a consumable.

Sunan was fortunate, with the ability to synthesize divine energy crystals on site as carriers, he was hence able to obtain one.

After contemplating for a moment, Sunan put away the law crystal and summoned the panel.

[Spiritual Refinement Level: 32.42%]

Sunan estimated that at the current cultivation pace, it would take roughly three hundred more years to break through to Level 3 Crystallization.

The fortuitous encounter with the Earth Crystal Plane directly shortened his breakthrough time by over a hundred years!

This was the biggest gain aside from the law crystal.

"Speaking of which, according to the original timeline, if the Wizard civil war erupted around the Starlight Calendar 2600, I should’ve broken through to Level 3 Crystallization by then."

"Then again, if that were the case, I might not have had the chance to discover the law source vein, resulting in an additional hundred years needed for the breakthrough."

His thoughts scattered briefly, Sunan shook his head to clear his mind, closed his eyes, and began cultivating.

...

Despite leaving the Earth Crystal Plane, Sunan continued to follow subsequent developments closely.

The appearance of a Divine Abomination on the Earth Crystal Plane caused a significant stir within the Wizard World.

The last appearance of a Divine Abomination dates back over three thousand years.

In that event, the Divine Abomination destroyed three separate planes, with countless species wiped out.

It took five True Spirit Wizards to finally kill that Divine Abomination.

However, this time the Divine Abomination was less fortunate than its predecessors, unexpectedly encountering the various Wizard Influences battling over the Divine Corpse, and was jointly killed by over ten True Spirit Wizards immediately upon its emergence.

Nevertheless, the Divine Abomination had still caused significant losses to the various Wizard Influences before its demise.

According to intelligence gathered, in the battle against the Divine Abomination, the number of Wizard Towers destroyed by various Wizard Influences reached double digits, with casualties of Wizards in the hundreds.

Even for large Wizard Influences, these losses were considerable.

Notably, the True Spirit Descendant from Spirit of Desolation fell in this battle, alongside the Black Rope Tower, marking the only two Wizard Influences whose True Spirit Descendants died in the war.

Shortly after the Star Alliance troops departed, the armies of various large Wizard Influences successively occupied the Earth Crystal Plane.

What transpired in the plane afterward remains unknown to outsiders.

It wasn’t until three months later that numerous Wizard Influences allied again to seal the Earth Crystal Plane.

However, this didn’t signify the end of the conflict; the various Wizard Influences simply didn’t want the war to devastate the Earth Crystal Plane, thus agreed to relocate the battlefield to other places.

Starlight Calendar 2269, Spirit of Desolation raided the Green Grass Plane, which is a critical sub-plane of the Celestial Sea Plane Community.

The Celestial Sea Plane Community is precisely the territory of the Deep Blue Alliance.

This sparked a war between the two sides.

Starlight Calendar 2270, Star Spirit Bell Tower and Bloodline Jungle erupted in conflict on the Wind Spring Plane, transforming this unlucky standalone plane into a bloody battlefield in less than two days, with native species nearly wiped out.

In the same year, the Dark Throne frequently interacted with Black Rope Tower, Pale Mask, Flame Pattern Association, and other Black Wizard Influences, seemingly preparing to declare war on the Wisdom Code.

The successive wars among major Wizard Influences plunged the entire Wizard World into immense turmoil.

A tense atmosphere prevailed, making everyone feel insecure!
