The Wizarding Age

Grimm was still standing there thinking silently until Hegel had left for a long time.

Under the command of the Cinderweb Spider Mother, all the busy fire creatures avoided Grimm's location and did not dare to disturb him at all.

After a long while, Grimm finally broke free from his thoughts and returned to normal.

It was unexpected, but not so unexpected. The other party's arrival seemed reasonable.

It was just that he came so early, which was a bit unexpected!

Want to become the King of Fire? The way is actually very simple... Pull a large plane into the Fire Elemental Plane and let it merge into a part of the Fire Elemental Plane, that's enough!

But Grimm clearly knows the true value of a large plane...

The wizard world is a large plane. Although it is older and has a higher level of power, its plane level is an indisputable large plane...

The Arcane Empire that Grimm once invaded and witnessed the destruction of is also a large plane. Its huge size almost gave birth to a huge Arcane Empire that can rival the wizard civilization!

Even in the multiverse where material planes are as numerous as stars, large planes are rare, and each of them is the core of war coveted and fought for by those powerful cosmic races.

With Grimm's current power, invading a small plane is not a big problem. But invading a medium plane becomes extremely difficult, and often ends in failure.

For example, the plane of Lance, the dragon kingdom, which has long fallen into the hands of the Crimson Family, wizards are still in a difficult situation of development and in the gap. Once you provoke those 4th-level dragon lords, even the steel city with amazing defense will be pressed down by the dragons and rubbed continuously.

Let alone the large plane, even such a medium-sized plane that is still under development has made the Crimson Family earn a lot of money and bulge their pockets. Then the benefits of ruling a large plane alone... that is something that makes people jealous!

And if you want to become the king of the fire element plane and be recognized by the plane consciousness here, the most direct and simple way is to pull a large plane and let it be assimilated by the fire element plane...

This simple and crude method simply makes Grimm speechless!

If there is such a good thing, why not just become the king of the world yourself? Why bother to use a large plane to exchange for the identity of the king of the fire element plane?

However, if you think about it carefully, the king of a world in a large plane may really not be as powerful as a fire king in the fire element plane in terms of power and strength. And this is determined by the plane level and power limit of both parties.

The four elemental planes of earth, fire, water and wind are combined into a super-giant plane, which is two levels higher than the large plane. And speaking of it alone, the plane of fire element is also a super-giant plane, which is one level higher than the large plane.

Therefore, it is understandable that the status of the Flame King is more noble!

However, no matter how noble the status of the Flame King is, Grimm still thinks it is not worth it to exchange it for a large plane under his control. However, if it is not his own large plane, it may be worth considering sacrificing it to the plane of fire element.

Of course, Hegel traveled thousands of miles to the Molten Altar not only to tell Grimm the way to become the Flame King, but also to mark the border with him.

The territory of King Zetas is 7,000 miles northeast of the Molten Altar.

According to the agreement between Grimm and Hegel, before he became the king, the scope of his direct territory could not exceed a thousand miles around the Molten Altar, and the number of level 4 subordinates could not exceed 3. Once a violation occurs, the surrounding fire kings have the power to expel them from the fire elemental plane at any time.

Of course, the reason for such an agreement is most likely that the fire kings made rules to protect the native creatures of the fire elemental plane. Only in this way can we avoid the foreign strongmen from wantonly hunting and plundering those wild high-level fire lords.

However, in this way, Grimm's intention to make a big splash in the fire elemental plane was somewhat shattered. On the contrary, he had to be prudent and carefully plan the allocation of the quotas of these three level 4 subordinates.

After thinking for a while, Grimm put all these troubles behind his mind and turned to concentrate on studying the strange movement of Hegel, who was like a ghost.

He had a feeling that the other party's movement did not use any props or spells, but was a pure skill of using the power of rules. This is also the future development direction that Grimm has never been able to enter.

Grimm stood there quietly, and the chip in his mind replayed the stored image of Hegel over and over again. The playback speed was even slower than usual, breaking down almost every tiny movement of Hegel into countless tiny displacement rubbings, and then carefully studying them frame by frame...

In addition, it also contained various subtle changes in the energy in Hegel's body as revealed by the chip.

Combining the two, Grimm finally found some clues.

Rules...

As a rule wizard, the so-called source of power must always be based on rules!

When the chip slowed down every movement of Hegel to the extreme, Grimm finally saw how the rule power in his body was coupled with the plane laws of the outside world, thus integrating the whole body into the plane system, and then breaking free at a specific location.

Use the plane rule system as a bridge for short-distance transmission...

This method of transmission can ignore any magic shield or spell barrier, and can also ignore obstacles such as walls, earth, trees, rocks, etc. As long as the plane rules extend to a place, you can come and go freely as you please...

The only thing that can block this kind of transmission is probably the rule barrier or rule protection!

But how many people can have such high-end protection inside the plane?

If the wizard tower supports all the protection and isolates all internal and external connections, it is possible to block the rule penetration. But this closed state is also extremely energy-consuming for the wizard tower. There is no problem in supporting it for ten days or half a month, but after a long time, the energy pool will always be exhausted.

At that time, what can be relied on to block this rule penetration?

The more he analyzed and thought, the more Grim felt that this rule utilization technique was more powerful. If it can be used flexibly in actual combat, then his enemies will be in big trouble!

"Chip, immediately establish a new research topic, and make every effort to deduce the high-level application of the flame rules, as well as the coupling compatibility issues between the flame rules and the plane rules..."

"Ding, the task has been established... The deduction task model requires the collection of relevant rule information... The task has been broken down, and the subject needs to complete the correlation rule test before the next step can be carried out..."

Swish, swish, swish...

The light screen projected by the chip in Grimm's mind was immediately flooded with a large amount of transportation data. Densely packed witchcraft formulas and calculation data rolled down from the top of the screen like an avalanche, piled up at the bottom of the screen, and piled up higher and higher, with a tendency to submerge the entire screen.

"Chip, there is no need to show these intermediate processes in the future, just show me the final result!"

"Ding, the order has been accepted..."

The next moment, the entire light screen was instantly cleared, leaving only three prerequisites flashing green.

"1. Regularize the body (78% completed)..."

"2. Condense the flame will (current progress is 0%)..."

"3. Complete the related coupling rule integration experiment (not yet expanded)..."

Grimm's eyes slowly swept over the three prerequisites, thinking silently.

Regularize the body, this is what he has been doing since he became a 5th-level wizard. It's just that he used the rule energy in the Fire God Pearl to radiate the body to adapt to the intensity of the flame rule.

And now, it is simply required to completely regularize the entire body to achieve complete integration with the rule level!

After completing the first step, Grimm actually already has the foundation for integration into the rule system. But the second step of the flame will is also indispensable. Otherwise, without the control of the flame will, it is easy to integrate into it, but how to separate it becomes a problem.

After all, Grimm just wants to borrow the rule system, not to give everything he has to the other party. If there is no self-will, then the so-called integration into the rules is better to say that he is swallowed by the rules.

Therefore, it is most important to condense the will of fire that transcends the rule level!

However, how to condense the will is also an extremely illusory question. If Grimm wants to start research, he will probably have to visit those old masters in various planes or old wizards in his own camp.

Such things cannot be rushed, so we can only take one step at a time and explore slowly.

Anyway, with the life of a 5th-level great wizard for ten thousand years, there is still a lot of time for him to squander.

As for the third point, we can start some related experiments in advance.

However, if the regularized body is not completed, it is too risky to rashly conduct such an experiment. Therefore, it seems that the matter of the regularized body must be grasped.

Just when Grimm was about to return to the Giant Rock Castle after dealing with some affairs in the Fire Element Plane, the brain-split Sok received an interesting message.

The message was transmitted from the inside of the wizard world plane, and the content of the message was also very simple, just one sentence.

"The demigod lich Congenus has returned to the corpse plane, and is said to be striving for level 5..."

To be honest, Grimm was not surprised to receive this message.

In terms of qualifications and strength, the demigod lich Congenus is not inferior to him in all aspects. Especially after obtaining the Winter Box, its basic strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and it is improving in a leap-forward manner.

It took so long to prepare for the promotion, not because of its poor qualifications, but because of the special nature of the lich!

Lich belongs to the undead, a typical undead creature.

They have no flesh and blood, no tendons and veins, and no life energy to nourish the soul. In this case, their promotion is almost entirely achieved by the transition of the soul.

Soul transition may not be the most difficult, but the lich life box can be remodeled to accommodate new souls... This is the most difficult part for liches to advance.

Moreover, if the promotion fails and endangers the lich's life box, even if it is still a terrifying demigod lich standing proudly at the top of the plane, it may be reduced to ashes and its soul will no longer exist.

Therefore, the difficulty and trouble of the lich's promotion are several times that of human wizards.

Unless they are absolutely sure, they dare not try it easily!
