Chapter 237 The Final Step

Benjamin returned to his private laboratory in the Golden Garden.

The air, which was filled with a faint scent of metal and potion, made him relax completely.

He walked slowly past the rows of precision instruments that were operating automatically.

After carefully checking the operating status of all the core instruments in the laboratory and confirming that everything was normal, he once again devoted himself to the research on the transformation of the "lava giant" race that had lasted for decades.

Time is indeed the best medicine to heal everything.

The two-year hunting mission was like a forced vacation, pulling him out of the emotional quagmire caused by the departure of his friends.

Now, with the passage of time, Benjamin no longer worries too much about the deaths of Victor and Amy.

He has been able to calmly treasure this memory in a corner of his heart.

His research status has therefore returned to its peak.

Moreover, perhaps because he had gone out for a walk and changed his mood, Benjamin found that his research efficiency had improved significantly compared to before.

Many technical bottlenecks that once troubled him now seem to have been cleared up.

Time flies by rapidly in this immersive research.

A few months later, just when Benjamin had successfully solved the problem of stabilizing an element sequence and was about to take a break, he suddenly received a "express delivery" sent directly to him via space transmission technology.

It was a suitcase-sized box made of a special alloy, gleaming with silver light.

Benjamin raised his eyebrows and walked over.

After the permission authentication is passed, the box automatically opens with a "click".

Inside the box, within the soft energy field, quietly lay a gorgeous crystal test tube with complex seals applied to it.

And, a message note condensed by spiritual power.

Inside the test tube, there was a brilliant and colorful fluid light, like the aurora.

It is not motionless, but rather it is constantly changing its shape and moving slowly in that small space as if it were a living thing.

Benjamin picked up the note and probed into it with his mental power.

The sender was none other than the seventh-level wizard, Dean Avery Knight.

In his message, he mentioned that the test tube contained a strand of the origin of the "water element" rule that he had just extracted.

This can be considered as a "deposit" paid to him in advance.

The reason for doing this is that after several months of frantic analysis day and night, the academy has successfully reverse-engineered the coordinates of the plane where the "Demon of Destruction" is located!

Considering the strength of the civilization on the opposite side, it should not be weak, and there may even be other level eight creatures.

Therefore, in the next few dozen or even hundreds of years, the main focus of the Norn Academy in the Eloshia plane will be on conquering the powerful plane opposite.

Dean Avery Knight felt that during this period, he probably would not have enough time to continue refining the "Origin of the Planes" for Jemin and the others.

So I specially sent the first reward in advance and told Benjamin to wait patiently.

After reading it, Jemin wrote a letter back to Dean Avery Knight, expressing his gratitude in the most sincere words.

At the same time, he also said that the dean did not need to be too anxious. After all, compared with major events such as the Plane War, his reward could be postponed.

Then he turned his gaze back to the crystal test tube on the table that was emitting a dreamy light.

Looking at the pure "water element" rule origin flowing in the test tube, Benjamin's eyes burst into a terrifying light!

This thing, as the most widely circulated super "hard currency" in the wizarding world, has an extremely exaggerated price.

Benjamin himself had also seen the sales information of this thing on the material sales platform within the Nolen Workshop.

Because the number of planes occupied by the Noren Workshop is large enough to provide a steady supply of various types of resources, the price of top-level resources such as "Plane Origin" is relatively fixed.

Each strand costs “only” 100 million internal points.

The selling prices of other wizarding forces are similar.

If converted into the military merit system commonly used in wizard civilization, the price is basically maintained at 10 million "low-level military merits".

You know, for a normal second-level wizard, his total wealth is only a few tens of thousands to a few hundred thousand military merits.

It can be said that just this strand of "Origin of the Plane" is worth hundreds of times the total wealth of most second-level wizards!

So under normal circumstances, if a second-level wizard wants to rely on the "Origin of the Plane" to assist in his advancement, there are usually only two ways.

The first is to participate in the cruel plane battlefield and hope that your luck is good enough.

It is possible to find special and unique objects in the world that are naturally formed and carry some information about the "origin of the plane" due to the intersection of plane rules.

The second method is more direct - loan.

Apply for a huge loan from the wizard force to which he belongs to purchase the origin.

The price is that for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future, you will have to travel around and perform various dangerous missions to repay your debts.

Of course, in addition to these two conventional methods, there are also some unconventional wizards.

For example, Senior Viola.

With her amazing talent, even without using any external tools, it would only be a matter of time for her to make a breakthrough in the rules of "life" and advance to the third level. It would be easy.

But on the eve of her advancement, Viola made a decision that surprised everyone - she gave up the smooth "life" rule that was so close at hand, and instead chose the "pain" rule, which was more rugged, strange, and more in line with her nature, as the main rule for her future.

The way she obtained the extremely rare origin of the "pain" rule was to rely on her equally abnormal ability to make money. She accumulated a huge amount of wealth at the second-level wizard stage, which was enough to make many fourth-level wizards ashamed!

Then, she emptied out all her savings and bought a strand directly from Mentor Clark!

Of course, wizards who can accumulate such terrifying wealth at the second-level wizard stage like Viola are rare after all.

Moreover, a genius wizard of that level generally does not need to spend money to purchase the origin to advance.

Therefore, Viola's action made her "famous" at the time.

...Though they don't have a good reputation.

In short, no matter through what channel it is obtained, this strand of "origin" is a very precious material and resource that can change the fate of any low-level wizard in his hands!

Benjamin reached out and gently took the cold crystal test tube in his hand.

He took a quick look at the brilliant and life-like light in the test tube.

Then, the next second, without hesitation, he used his five fingers to exert a little force and crushed the priceless crystal test tube directly!

Bang!

The crisp sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent laboratory.

Without the restraint of the seal, the brilliant light seemed to have found a home. The moment it touched Benjamin's body, it penetrated in silently like mercury pouring on the ground!

This strand of water element law quickly flowed along Benjamin's body, broke through the boundaries between spirit and matter, and began to permeate his soul!

Buzz!!!

Jieming felt his consciousness go blank, and he was instantly pulled into a vast and boundless world of pure blue!

A huge amount of knowledge about "water" and "time" poured into his mind like a torrent bursting through a dam!

He "saw" the birth of the first water element in the chaotic nothingness.

He "felt" how water nourishes life and how it turns into time, eroding everything with its gentle yet ruthless power.

He "understood" the changes in the most basic rules represented by the water element and understood the basic principles of the long river of time!

His soul seemed to have turned into a drop of water and merged into the cycle of the entire world.

He experienced the melting of snow-capped mountains, gathering into streams, rushing into rivers, and finally, merging into the endless ocean.

Under the scorching sun, he evaporated into clouds, drifted with the wind, and finally turned into rain and snow and returned to the earth.

This process seems long, but to the outside world it only takes a moment!

When Benjamin regained consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of azure divine light flashed across the depths of his pupils.

At this moment, he has completely mastered some of the rules about the "water element"!

Now he doesn't even need to cast a spell deliberately. With just a thought, the free water vapor in the surrounding air can condense into any form he wants!

Moreover, his control over time became more precise, as if a timer had been installed in his soul.

Of course, Benjamin didn't intend to rely on the "water element" rules to advance.

Anyway, when he is officially promoted to level three, he can freely choose any rule he has mastered as his core subject.

Therefore, absorbing this origin will not harm his future path.

What he really needs is the most basic logic and knowledge related to the water element that he acquires in the process of passively accepting knowledge!

Jemin had already completed the transformation plan for the lava giant race, but due to various reasons, he was still unable to achieve his design goals.

It can be said that the final transformation plan for the "Lava Giant" is just missing that finishing touch!

And now, the knowledge of "restraint", "inclusion" and "cycle" provided to him by the "water element" rule is like the last key to open the door to truth.

Help him complete this final step!
