Chapter 294: Third Tier Crystallization, the Power of Law

November 25, 2024

When the Star Alliance was mentioned, the deputy's expression turned peculiar, and after hesitating for a while, he spoke in a low voice:

"The Star Alliance... is still the same as always."

In the past three hundred years, the Wizard World has been through tumultuous times, filled with constant turmoil.

However, the Star Alliance, also caught in the vortex of war, presented a starkly different picture.

Despite attacking four planes simultaneously, the Star Alliance has maintained a steady and unhurried pace throughout these years.

Despite their apparent numerical advantage, they have shown no signs of launching a large-scale offensive, instead opting for a slow and steady approach from the very beginning.

Compared to the battered and bloody battles of the Thousand-headed Bird and the Blackthorn Tower, the Star Alliance seemed to be employing a strategy of using stillness to counter motion.

Hearing the deputy's words, Roning furrowed his brows slightly.

He, too, was puzzled by the Star Alliance's intentions.

"What is Su Nan up to?"

Although the Star Alliance was an affiliated organization of the Codex of Wisdom, their relationship was more like a cooperative partnership based on mutual interests. With the Star Alliance already fulfilling its obligation of containing a portion of the Blackthorn Tower's forces, the Codex of Wisdom could not force them to take any specific actions.

Roning, despite his dissatisfaction with the Star Alliance's actions, could do nothing about it.

After pondering with a frown for a long time, he looked up and said to the deputy, "Go to the Star Alliance yourself and ask Su Nan about his thoughts. If the Star Alliance is willing to intensify their offensive and put more pressure on the Blackthorn Tower, we can provide them with some resource support."

"Yes, sir!"

Ulam Plane, Ulana City.

At the top of the Starlight Wizard Tower, in front of the Elemental Furnace.

Su Nan sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes tightly shut and unmoving.

Dense energy particles surrounded him, almost condensing into a solid mass, appearing like a faint mist of various colors enveloping him entirely.

Invisible to the naked eye, countless energy particles were pouring into his body every second.

After an unknown amount of time, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly emanated from Su Nan's body.

In that instant, the surrounding energy particles seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rushing towards Su Nan as if competing to enter his body and disappearing without a trace.

Within just two or three breaths, the energy particles within a ten-meter radius of Su Nan were completely absorbed, and those farther away had not had time to replenish the area, creating a brief vacuum zone around him.

After a moment, Su Nan opened his eyes, and a fleeting glimmer of joy flashed in them.

"I've finally broken through!"

Nearly four hundred years had passed since he broke through the Third Tier Liquidization, and he had finally reached the Third Tier Crystallization.

Gazing into the depths of his Mind Sea at the three Talent Crystals and the granular Psychic Energy surrounding them, Su Nan's face broke into a smile that came from deep within.

Since becoming a Wizard Apprentice, over fourteen hundred years had passed, and he had finally reached this stage.

With this, as long as he successfully comprehended the Power of Law, he could break through the realm that countless wizards dreamed of, ascending to become a True Spirit Sorcerer.

After a while, Su Nan finally snapped out of his joy and began contemplating his next steps.

Comprehending the Power of Law was no simple task.

The Law was the foundation of the Multiverse, the original source of the planes.

For this reason, the Power of Law was the deepest and most essential force in the Multiverse.

To control this power, one must delve deep into the essence of the Multiverse.

Wizards often used a single word to describe this enigmatic essence—Truth! Wizards claimed to be seekers of truth, and many even boasted that truth was power. This was not without reason, as the Power of Law, symbolizing truth, was fundamentally the most potent force in the Multiverse, without exception.

The divine duty, divinity, and divine power of deities were, in essence, also forms of the Power of Law.

In the vast Multiverse, there were numerous types of Laws.

There were elemental laws like Fire, Thunder, Ice, Wind, and Earth.

There were also rule laws such as Shadow, Death, Life, and Plants.

Even higher were the two existential laws of Space and Time.

Strictly speaking, existential laws were stronger than rule laws, and rule laws were stronger than elemental laws.

The difficulty of comprehending different tiers of laws varied greatly.

Consequently, the strength of True Spirit Sorcerers who ascended through these laws also differed significantly.

Throughout the countless epochs since the emergence of wizards, no wizard had ever been able to master the existential laws of Space and Time.

Only a few exceptionally gifted individuals had even come close.

Even so, these individuals, without exception, became renowned as great beings in the Multiverse.

Next were the rule laws, which were extremely challenging to comprehend, but those who ascended to True Spirit Sorcerers through them possessed strength and potential that far surpassed those who ascended through elemental laws.

Like the Azure Alliance, Shadow Wizards, and Celestial Tower, the core upper echelons of large Sorcerer organizations are primarily Rule System True Spirit Sorcerers.

Of course, True Spirit Sorcerers who can advance through Rule System Laws are few and far between.

Most often, they gain insight into Elemental System Laws.

Typically, Tier Three Crystalized Sorcerers choose a specific Law to focus on and dedicate themselves to comprehending it for a breakthrough.

However, a tiny fraction of geniuses attempt to comprehend two Laws simultaneously.

In ninety-nine percent of these cases, they fail, wasting vast amounts of time.

But the few who succeed reap immense rewards.

A True Spirit Sorcerer who comprehends two Elemental System Laws simultaneously can rival or even surpass the strength of those who master a single Rule System Law.)



If a True Spirit Sorcerer comprehends both an Elemental System Law and a Rule System Law, their power far surpasses the previous two.)



As for those who master two Rule System Laws, it goes without saying that they are even more exceptional.

Only a few rare individuals can achieve this feat.

For an ordinary Tier Three Crystalized Sorcerer, comprehending a single Law is already impressive, and the success rate for comprehending two Laws is discouragingly low.

"Which Law should I choose?"

Su Nan's expression turned contemplative.

He had actually pondered this question numerous times.

To reduce the difficulty of comprehension, Tier Three Crystalized Sorcerers typically consider their own power system when selecting a Law, with Talent Abilities being the most crucial factor.

For instance, a Tier Three Crystalized Sorcerer with Flame-type Talent Abilities would likely find it easier to comprehend the Flame Law.

A Tier Three Crystalized Sorcerer with White Bone Talent Abilities would face a relatively lower challenge in comprehending the Death Law.

Su Nan also planned to follow this approach.

Despite having the Fusion Cube as a cheat, he didn't consider himself a prodigy capable of comprehending existential Laws like Time and Space.

If he attempted it, the most likely outcome would be wasting a few thousand years before having to switch to a different Law.

However, Su Nan didn't want to settle for an Elemental System Law either.

After careful consideration, he decided to focus on comprehending a Rule System Law, at most adding an Elemental Rule.

After all, even after becoming a True Spirit Sorcerer, he could continue to comprehend more Laws or fuse them to create higher-order Laws, albeit with increased difficulty.

For now, he sought stability, knowing he could make changes later if he had the strength.

"Liquid Metal, Absolute Forbidden Zone, and Falling Star Shower."

"With three Talent Abilities, it's best to choose a Law that has good compatibility with these abilities."

Su Nan's eyes flashed with an idea.

Gravity!

Liquid Metal aside, the Absolute Forbidden Zone already has gravitational attributes.

Additionally, the falling stars in the Falling Star Shower are also related to gravity.

Comprehending the Gravity Law using these two Talent Abilities would undoubtedly double the efficiency.

Furthermore, gravity is a manifestation of universal attraction, and universal attraction is a geometric effect of spacetime curvature.

By mastering the Gravity Law, he might be able to use it as a foundation to comprehend universal attraction and potentially advance to comprehending the Time and Space Laws.

Overall, while the Gravity Law may seem less impressive compared to Death and Life Laws, it has greater potential and can be highly effective in combat.

Ideally, it should be paired with an Elemental System Law.

Su Nan didn't deliberate for long before deciding on the Thunder Law.

The most notable characteristic of the Gravity Law is its ability to slow and suppress enemies with heavy pressure. If he could simultaneously enhance his speed with the power of thunder, the advantages he could gain would be astonishing.

Moreover, the Thunder Law is renowned for its formidable damage, and when combined with the Gravity Law, they complement each other perfectly.

"I'll choose the Gravity and Thunder Laws."

Su Nan quickly made his decision.

"Next, I'll focus on comprehending the Laws."

During his time in the Earth Crystal Plane, Su Nan obtained a Law Crystal.

Law Crystals significantly aid in enhancing one's comprehension of Laws.

Typically, the initial stage of comprehending a Law is the most challenging.

To perceive the existence of a Law from the veiled void is an incredibly difficult task.

Many Tier Three Crystalized Sorcerers spend thousands of years without taking that first step, let alone improving their comprehension afterward.

With the Law Crystal in hand, the difficulty of the first step was greatly reduced.

"To comprehend the power of the law, it's best to find a suitable environment."

"The Thunder Law is easy, just find a Thunder Element Space."

"As for the Gravity Law, we need to find a plane with high gravity."

Su Nan quickly searched for a suitable plane in his mind, but after much thought, he had no clues.

However, he wasn't worried. With countless planes in the multiverse, there must be an appropriate one. With some time and effort, he was confident he could find it.

If necessary, he could always purchase information.

Planes with extremely high gravity were often not resource-rich, so acquiring information about such planes shouldn't be difficult.

With a plan in mind, Su Nan left the top of the Sorcerer Tower and headed to his study, sending a quick message to Li Ze along the way.

Before long, Li Ze arrived.

"You're out of seclusion already?" Li Ze asked, surprised to see Su Nan.

Su Nan had recently told her about his plan to seclude himself for a breakthrough, and she had expected it to take at least a few hundred years. She hadn't anticipated his swift return.

"You've reached Tier Three Crystallization?"

"Indeed."

Seeing Su Nan's smile and nod, Li Ze couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Su Nan's progress was as rapid as ever.

It was common for Tier Three Sorcerers to take a thousand or even two thousand years to advance from the Liquidization stage to the Crystallization stage.

But Su Nan had done it in less than four hundred years.

Even among the True Spirit descendants, few could match Su Nan's talent.

Having witnessed Su Nan's 'miracles' many times, Li Ze quickly regained her composure and asked the most crucial question.

"Which law do you plan to comprehend?"

Su Nan, seeing no need to hide anything from Li Ze, replied frankly, "Gravity and Thunder."

Li Ze was taken aback, surprised by Su Nan's choice of the less popular Gravity Law.

But considering Su Nan's exceptional talent, she soon understood his decision.

Li Ze wasn't shocked by Su Nan's intention to comprehend two laws simultaneously.

Every genius set high standards for themselves. Many True Spirit descendants chose to comprehend dual laws when harnessing the power of laws.

And Su Nan, even more extraordinary than the True Spirit descendants, would have been the odd one out if he hadn't chosen dual laws.

"Do you know of any plane suitable for comprehending the Gravity Law?" Su Nan asked.

Li Ze thought for a moment, shook her head, then added, "I can send people to Omnipresent City to acquire information. Such a plane shouldn't be hard to find."

"Then let's do that," Su Nan agreed, nodding. Then, changing the subject, he inquired about recent developments.

Having been immersed in cultivation for years, he hadn't paid much attention to external affairs. After listening to Li Ze's account of the changes in the Sorcerer Civil War over the past three hundred years, a glint of insight flashed in his eyes.

The situation had unfolded much as he remembered, with only minor differences in the details. The overall direction hadn't changed significantly.

"Do you think the Sorcerer Civil War will end like this?" Li Ze asked.

"No," Su Nan replied firmly.

In his memory, the Sorcerer Civil War had lasted for a full five hundred years.

Since the current situation was largely in line with his recollections, it implied that the future developments wouldn't deviate much either.

The end of the Sorcerer Civil War was not yet in sight.

The war's true conclusion might not come until after the year 2800 of the Starlight Calendar.

Li Ze gave Su Nan a puzzled look, unsure of the basis for his confident assertion.

However, Su Nan's past judgments had rarely been wrong, and subsequent events had always validated his foresight. So, despite her doubts, Li Ze, as always, chose to trust Su Nan.

"By the way," Li Ze suddenly remembered something.

"The Codex of Wisdom sent people over, asking us to quickly conquer one or two planes. They're willing to provide some resources to the Star Alliance."

Su Nan's eyebrows rose, and he smiled wryly. "It seems the Codex of Wisdom is getting anxious."

It was clear that the Codex of Wisdom was on the verge of collapse and desperately needed support from its affiliated organizations.

Given the current situation, the most promising second-rate Sorcerer power to free up resources was the Thousand-Headed Bird.

Hence, the Codex of Wisdom was urging the Star Alliance to intensify its offensive, putting more pressure on the Blackthorn Tower and giving the Thousand-Headed Bird a better chance to gain the upper hand.

"The people from the Codex of Wisdom are waiting for our response in Ulana City," Li Ze said. "What should we do?"
