Absolute rationality! There was no panic, no fear, not even restlessness—only rational analysis and response. Carl slowly propped himself up, looking at Adison’s disintegrating soul shards, his eyes devoid of any emotion. Adison was indeed strong, but what had appeared in the Divine Domain Fragment was merely a part of his main soul. His strength had been weakened to the level of a First Circle Wizard, and from beginning to end, he hadn’t cast a single Second Circle Magic. Without a Magic Wand, Potions, Demonized Items, or Inheritance Witchcraft, his spiritual power was finite, depleting with every use. Moreover, the Divine Domain Fragment was Carl’s domain. Under the continuous bombardment of various methods, even a Grey Robed Wizard would have been brought to their knees. If it had been any other Wizard Apprentice just entering the Wizard Realm, they would have undoubtedly been powerless against Adison’s encroachment. It had to be said, Adison had picked the wrong person! What a mess! Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥 Looking around, the entire Divine Domain Fragment resembled a chaotic ruin, with all sorts of items strewn everywhere. Shattered glassware, broken Demonized Items, opened wizardry Potions... Adison’s final suicidal counterattack hadn’t truly heavily injured Carl, but it had destroyed his arrangements within the Divine Domain Fragment. It had also consumed many of the Demonized Items accumulated over the years. The loss... At least a thousand Magic Stones! Compared to these lost items, the memories of a Second Circle Wizard are clearly more valuable. Carl murmured as tentacles extended from his body, reaching for the soul shards in the area. Talent Wizardry—Devour! Unlike before, when he could only devour life force, now he could even devour the memories within soul shards. After advancing to First Circle Wizard, his Abyss Bloodline Fusion reached a certain degree, and his Talent Abilities gradually awakened. Lesser Spiritual Power Immunity (Unlocked) Dream Walking (Locked) Abyssal Whisper (Locked) Contrary to Carl’s assumption, the Abyss Giant Squid was not a Second Order Creature, but a Third-tier Abyss Creature. This was actually quite normal. Its juvenile form was a Second Order Creature; after maturing, its strength would naturally increase by another tier. However, Carl had only obtained the corpse of a juvenile. Currently, relying on his bloodline, he could only advance to the Second Order. To reach the Third-tier, a specific opportunity was still needed. Although I can’t directly advance to the Third-tier, having a Third-tier foundation means my advancement potential is much greater than ordinary people’s. Besides, the Third-tier is still too far from my current self; there’s no need to consider it for now. The massive influx of memories into Carl’s consciousness felt like being struck in the head by a heavy hammer, causing him to groan involuntarily. 「After a long while.」 Exhaling a long, turbid breath, Carl’s eyes gradually regained their calmness. That he could withstand the mental impact so quickly was due both to the absolute rationality imparted by the Divine Domain Fragment and the potent adaptability of the Abyss Bloodline. No wonder Marian brought me to the Magic Forest instead of the Kaliem Continent. It was Adison’s idea. He stored his Inheritance Witchcraft and treasures in the Gando Kingdom, planning to retrieve them after taking over my body. This way, he could quickly recover his original strength. If we had gone to the Kaliem Continent, returning would have been troublesome. What a clever scheme! So, Adison didn’t actually trust Marian; he even hid his Inheritance Witchcraft himself. It seems that bootlickers, regardless of gender, always meet the same fate—never truly earning sincerity in return! Rubbing his forehead, Carl slowly walked to the center of the Divine Domain Fragment and sat down on the huge stone chair. With a wave of his hand, the data panel appeared before his eyes. Level: Legendary Knight, First Circle Wizard Abyss Bloodline Fusion: 30% Both his Constitution and Spiritual Power had slightly increased, and his Abyss Bloodline Fusion had crossed the 30% threshold. Judging by the data, the improvement didn’t seem significant. But Carl knew very well that his current self was far superior to what he had been just a few hours ago; it was, in fact, a world apart. As the Source Sea Meditation Method operated, wisps of Star Realm Energy flowed into his Spiritual Inner Sea via the Divine Domain Fragment. Although the data hadn’t changed, he could feel his spiritual power increasing. This enhancement was incredibly potent! When casting the same witchcraft, the power he could now unleash was double what it was before. His resistance to witchcraft, physical immunity, and mental reflexes were all significantly enhanced. The current Carl could easily defeat several versions of his former self. Ordinary Wizards find it very difficult to sense the Star Realm, and drawing upon Star Realm Energy to strengthen themselves is an extremely slow process. Carl’s eyes flickered. The Divine Domain Fragment is located deep within the Star Realm, allowing me to easily draw upon Star Realm Energy and increase my spiritual power more quickly. If I were to make a comparison... Other Wizards are like apprentices with third or fourth-level talents, while I possess talent equivalent to the second or even first level. In other words, I, too, have become a genius in cultivation! Closing his eyes, the knowledge about First Circle Wizards from the Grey Robed Wizard Adison’s memories surfaced in his mind. The cultivation of a First Circle Wizard involves using Star Realm Energy to strengthen spiritual power and gradually modifying the body to adapt to the environment of the Star Realm. Carl’s eyebrows twitched slightly. So, a Wizard’s cultivation seems to be a process of adapting to the Star Realm. A First Circle Wizard makes contact with the Star Realm, a Second Circle Wizard adapts to it, and a Three-Circle Wizard can survive within it to some extent. The Star Realm? What exactly is the Star Realm? Carl had already sensed that these two things, the Star Realm and Source Material, seemed to hide the most fundamental secrets of the world.
