Chapter 337: Chapter 337

"If I die, the Divine Domain Fragment collapses, and vice versa."

Putting away the data panel, Carl didn’t rush to consume Potions to make a breakthrough but instead looked up at the space above the Divine Domain Fragment.

A complex labyrinth, interwoven with mathematical formulas and Wizarding theory, resembled a captivating curtain.

The complexity of the Star Realm is beyond imagination. Based on the experiences of others, most entities attracted by a breakthrough don’t have a physical form, similar to a human’s soul.

The Dimension Cage should be effective.

Although he was within the Divine Domain Fragment and unlikely to attract other beings, it was better to be safe than sorry.

It’s always wise to be cautious.

As the thought crossed his mind, the Dimension Cage above him transformed accordingly.

As Carl’s spiritual power increased, the complexity of the labyrinth also intensified, and its range expanded ever more widely.

「After a long moment.」

That should be enough!

Carl took a deep breath, rubbing his somewhat tired forehead.

With the boon of those mathematical formulas from my previous life, this level of Dimension Cage, in terms of complexity, should be no worse than that of an Official Wizard.

He slept for a full day and night.

Revitalized, Carl returned to the Divine Domain Fragment and consumed several restorative Potions one after another.

Useful or not, he decided to consume them first.

These were Potions the Six Rings Tower prepared for its disciples; each person had two opportunities to claim them in their lifetime.

The key point was, they were free!

Eyes closed, he quietly waited for the Potions to take effect.

About half an hour later.

Carl took out the Green Potion and the Silence Potion. After a moment of contemplation, he resolutely downed both Potions one after the other.

Instantly, Carl grunted, "HMPH!" His body trembled slightly.

Stimulated by the Potions, his once peaceful Spiritual Inner Sea began to churn violently. His consciousness felt as if it were being dragged into a giant millstone, constantly compressed and ground, impurities being squeezed out bit by bit. For origınal chapters go to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

His physical body also writhed uncontrollably under the stimulation of the Potions, the value of his Bloodline fusion degree flickering nonstop, until, with the combined reinforcement of his spirit and body, a certain boundary was forcefully shattered, and a glimmer of light appeared in his perception.

His sea of consciousness trembled violently.

The agitated spiritual power transformed into a sharp spike, piercing the void and connecting with some indescribable existence.

With a spiritual power of 6.2, already comparable to many Official Wizards, the breakthrough seemed almost a matter of course.

Light burst before Carl’s ’eyes’.

A multicolored, vast, and endless ’world’ entered his perception, with countless strange auras drifting around him.

Huh? This was different from the records provided by the tower.

The records of other Wizard Apprentices undergoing a breakthrough described the Star Realm as a void filled with chaos.

If there were indeed so many strange auras nearby, souls would probably have been devoured clean long ago.

Carl frowned slightly, then quickly regained his composure, ’lowering his head’ to look beneath himself.

Deeper into the Fragment!

He was now the Divine Domain Fragment, observing the Star Realm through the Divine Domain Fragment.

The Star Realm existed on a dimensional plane far higher than the real world, comparable to the cosmic void from his past life’s memories.

Whereas ordinary Wizard Apprentices, upon advancing, would only appear in a region akin to near-space, he was now in the depths of the cosmos.

What he saw and felt was naturally different.

The divine conceals itself!

Indeed, the Divine Domain Fragment has the ability to hide spiritual fluctuations. My breakthrough didn’t attract anything else. Had I known, I would’ve kept the Silence Potion.

"Heh..." Carl chuckled lightly. This kind of hindsight was meaningless, but the thrill of a successful advancement invigorated his thoughts, and for a rare moment, he allowed himself a joke.

An unusual sensation suddenly surfaced in his mind, causing Carl’s expression to change drastically.

Something has appeared in my Spiritual Inner Sea! The Divine Domain Fragment didn’t work! When did a Star Realm Creature get here?

As he gathered his thoughts, he instantly returned to the Divine Domain Fragment.

A wisp of black smoke, which had appeared at some unknown point, twisted and writhed as if it possessed consciousness.

Carl’s expression turned solemn. With a slight gesture of his hand, the Dimension Cage immediately enveloped the black smoke.

The potent aura emanating from the black smoke made him hesitate to act rashly; instead, he began to take out everything he might need, one by one.

This was his Spiritual Inner Sea, his Divine Domain Fragment. There was no escape, only confrontation. Fortunately, this was his home ground, so there was no need to be overly anxious.

Like someone awakening from a century of slumber, the black smoke stretched out in all directions, slowly coalescing into a human figure.

This was a gaunt, grey-robed elder, plain in appearance, save for a pair of eyes that were deep and vast.

Carl’s eyes twitched, a myriad of thoughts flashing through his sea of consciousness.

Grey Robed Wizard Adison!ŸŸŸ

The gaunt elder who had appeared in the Divine Domain Fragment was not some so-called Star Realm Creature, but the founder of Black Swamp, the Second Circle Legendary Wizard who had sacrificed his life to open the Star Gate—Grey Robed Wizard Adison.

"I feel like I’ve been asleep for a long time."

Adison touched his forehead, then extended his hand forward gently. A Magic Wand resembling a walking stick materialized in his grip.

Wielding the Magic Wand, he peered into the darkness ahead, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Is this... that little fellow Strele’s Dimension Cage?"

"Indeed!" Carl’s voice came from the darkness. "Grey Robed Wizard Adison, so you’re not dead. Did you tamper with the Green Potion I consumed?"

"Was it you who had Marian deliberately give me the Green Potion? Your soul was hidden inside, waiting for me to consume it as I attempted to advance to Official Wizard, then entering my Spiritual Inner Sea, and finally, to take over this body of mine?"
