Chapter 507: New World
“Does anyone have any thoughts?”
Ace asked, his voice slightly low.
Everyone frowned, and no one answered immediately. After a long time, Betty said:
“Lord Ace, the Other World has already engaged in war with Our World. Two Titan Main Gods have betrayed us. This is a tremendous and earth-shattering change. Although we High Tower Wizards have developed, our strength is still meager, and we cannot participate for the time being.
“I believe we should continue to develop in a low-key manner. Using the acceleration effect of ‘Fantasia,’ we should develop theories and summarize experiences to the maximum extent. Only by cultivating a large number of Level 3 Wizards and having you advance to a Level 4 Wizard can we possibly gain a foothold in the Inner World.”
Before Ace could speak, Bayen shook his head and said: “Her Excellency Betty’s judgment is not bad, but it is too conservative. We should not contract fully but should vigorously develop wizard forces taking advantage of this chaos.
“The development of wizards requires people. More magical population means more diverse thinking, academic collision, spell improvement, and experience summarization.
“If there are Magic Councils everywhere on the New Continent, calculating at a ratio of ten to one, with nearly fifty million people on the New Continent, nearly five million magical population can be born.
“How many geniuses will there be among these five million magical population? What amazing theories will be born, and what changes will be produced?
“I believe time waits for no one. We are in this era of great change. This is the first war with the Other World since the birth of the Kaya World. We cannot retreat.
“We must seize every opportunity to become stronger with all our might. Otherwise, once a sudden change occurs, no matter how much potential we have, it will be in vain!”
Bayen’s words were forceful. Ace couldn’t help clapping his hands and said loudly: “It is precisely this kind of imposing manner that we need, but Betty’s consideration is not unreasonable. I think we should make preparations for both hands. I have already created a shelter in the Outer World, which is a secret and remote place.
“Betty, hear my order.”
Betty hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly to Ace.
Ace said: “As the Chairman of the Magic Council and the Firelinker who founded the Path of Magic, I order you to serve as the Grand Administrative Officer of the shelter. Select suitable candidates and go to the shelter to preside over administrative affairs, preserving the tinder for the wizards!”
Betty was both happy and ashamed. She bit her lip and said: “Betty is unwilling to go to the shelter. If Lord Ace believes that high-profile development is the correct path, I am willing to go to the God-descendant ruled areas to open up local Magic Councils.”
Ace smiled slightly and said gently: “I believe you have no selfish motives, but wizards need tinder; we need a glimmer of survival. Your theoretical level is very high. You not only survived multiple theoretical innovations but also established new theories after breaking the old ones. You are the best candidate.
“I am very reassured to have you guarding the tinder.”
Ace turned his head and said to Daina: “I want you to assist Betty and go to the shelter together as the Vice Administrative Officer.”
Although Daina was reluctant, she consistently executed Ace’s orders, so she nodded immediately.
After determining the retreat of the tinder, Ace discussed with everyone for a long time. Finally, it was decided that Bayen would take the lead and be fully responsible for the expansion work of the Magic Council.
As for Ace himself, he would not deal with these specific affairs. He would sit in the High Tower and concentrate on improving his strength, which was the greatest support for the entire group of High Tower Wizards.
The next day, as the wizards were preparing for action, Ace suddenly discovered a strange message coming from his mental imagery world.
In the Dream Starry Sky Universe of the mental imagery world, above the Dream Earth Center, there was a huge altar.
The Astral Compass floated on the altar. On the star chart, there was a pitch-black phantom. A dim cyan light spot and a bright golden light spot were in the center of the phantom.
Infinitely below the phantom, a red light spot suddenly flickered slightly. The star chart also became scalding hot, seemingly receiving some kind of information.
Ace’s mind was already immersed in the Dream Starry Sky Universe. His mind merged with his True Spirit, appearing under the altar in an instant, gently touching the Astral Compass with his hand.
almost instantly, he understood the content of that message.
“Who are you?”
The dream bubbles scattered in the lower layer of the Astral Plane finally yielded results. A childish question, but it was not just a question; it exposed the coordinates of the questioner’s world.
Ace looked at the flickering red light spot and did not reply. The clone presiding over the altar said to Ace: “This is not the first time receiving information from another world, but the worlds that sent information the previous few times were too low in level. Many worlds didn’t even count as Level 1 Worlds. Only this time, the world is just right.”
Ace nodded, pondered for a while, and said: “A Level 2 World is indeed the best choice. The individual upper limit of this world should be Level 4, which is Demigod. For me, there are opportunities, and it is not too dangerous. However, the distance is too far; going there in my true body is probably impossible.”
The clone replied: “It’s not impossible. As long as a stable altar can be established in that world, you can go there in your true body.”
Ace nodded and then shook his head: “I thought of a better plan, perhaps better than going in my true body. But no matter what, an altar needs to be established in that world.
“The true body cannot go, but the clone can turn into an information stream and go. The goal is to establish an altar. Only by establishing an altar can better plans be implemented!”
The clone and Ace looked at each other, then turned into a dream state, becoming a stream of information light, and plunged into the Astral Compass.
Like a dream bubble, carrying Ace’s expectations, it headed towards that flickering red light spot.
That light spot was so charming that Ace watched it somewhat entranced for a while.
Meanwhile, Ace’s clone turned into a dream, which meant becoming dream information. The mysterious power of the Astral Compass shrouded this information, using a method of warp that Ace could not understand to fall rapidly.
If Ace were a physical entity, without a tunnel, the energy consumed by this kind of warp would be extremely large. But information was different; information had almost no physical substance, so the energy consumption was extremely small.
During that rapid fall, Ace’s clone felt as if he was being stripped away bit by bit. In fact, to adapt to this process, he had already abandoned the vast majority of energy.
Apart from the pure information body, very little remained.
Unknown how long it passed, Ace’s clone felt as if a century had passed, yet it also felt like just an instant. He crossed the layer membrane from a higher layer of the Astral Plane. Feeling a jolt, he completely lost contact with the main body.
“The connection between the main body and the clone seems unable to break through the layer membrane? Is it because I am too weak, or is this the rule?”
He couldn’t figure it out and didn’t think too much about it. Drifting along, he warped in the direction marked by the coordinates. Just as his energy was about to run out, Ace finally arrived beside the World Crystal Wall.
He lingered outside the crystal wall for a long time, finally finding a gap. He leaped in, passed through the narrow passage, and finally entered the world.
As an information body, Ace could not stay for long. The moment he entered the world, he felt the world spinning and lost consciousness. When he regained consciousness, he smelled a burst of foul odor.
