Chapter 145

Still, there was no time to appreciate the true appearance of The Fifth Element Holy Tower. Before everyone got off the airship, the supervising sorcerer had already instructed everyone not to wander around and to complete the assessment together.

After hearing the news, everyone except for Adam was shocked. The Holy Tower was never stingy with its rewards. One thousand merit points was just the passing standard. Every bit of merit points represented a huge benefit.

These benefits might be resources or knowledge, but they would allow everyone to deal with the upcoming planar wars with greater ease.

The sorcerer stopped Adam and opened a portal. "Apprentice Adam, Priscilla Hyperdimensional wants to see you."

— — —

"Apprentice Adam, welcome back."

"It's an honor to see you again, the great Priscilla Hyperdimensional Sorcerer."

Every time Adam saw the Hyperdimensional Sorcerer, he had a different feeling. This was an instinctive exploration of higher life forms as his knowledge and experience deepened. However, this exploration was obviously impolite. Adam forcibly suppressed his curiosity and bowed respectfully to the Hyperdimensional Sorcerer.

The Hyperdimensional Sorcerer waved his hand dismissively. "Before you complete the assessment, you need to level up first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the active crystal seal on Adam's chest shattered, and the Devil was ejected from his mind. Ether's Gift, which had been suppressed for more than ten years, ignored the dense runic enchantments inside and outside the Holy Tower and turned into a beam of light that reached the sky and the earth. It was projected onto Adam's body.

Adam did not expect that the first thing the Hyperdimensional Sorcerer would do after seeing him would be this. While he was still in a daze, Ether's Gift slowly rose into the air.

This time, there was no suppression or forced to stop. Adam did not hesitate to open his soul, allowing Ether's light to interact with his soul and the knowledge engraved on his soul.

The incomparable pleasure made Adam involuntarily close his eyes. The gentle, high-grade, and abundant energy poured into his soul and into his body. The mysterious elements that made up his soul and spiritual power, as well as every cell and gene in his body, were all cheering.

The first thing that changed was the Mage Armor.

The Mage Armor, which had previously been completely constructed out of spiritual power and was independent of the body and soul, began to fuse with the soul. Psychokinetic armor pieces fused into one, and the Mage Armor changed from the materialization of spiritual power to a hybrid structure of electricity and magnetism.

Adam could feel that the knowledge he had studied as an apprentice had now become a kind of innate magic. From now on, the conversion of electromagnetism would no longer rely on runes. Adam's soul was the embodiment of electromagnetism.

When the Mage Armor completely fused with his soul, the quality of his soul began to change.

At this moment, knowledge was truly transformed into energy and power. The equations written in the rune language were integrated into Ether, and in the next moment, he received a multifold gift from Ether. For the first time, mana directly entered his soul.

He had been reborn, and looked completely new.

There was no doubt about the existence of the soul in this world. Ordinary people could not sense it, but apprentices could sense and use it. Now, the soul had become a real body for Adam, and its sense of existence was even greater than that of a physical body.

"This is it, the knowledge that Anne Croft was looking forward to, the knowledge that even the world itself covets!" Priscilla muttered to herself as she looked at the equations that were illuminated by Ether's radiance. "The knowledge that can strengthen the Weave!"

Adam did not hear the Hyperdimensional Mage's voice. At this moment, his soul broke through the limits of his body and the material world, transcending endless latitudes and arriving in a mysterious and vast space.

There was no front, back, left, right, up or down, and he could not sense the passage of time. There seemed to be no colour, yet there seemed to be all colour. Ether was clearly visible, and mana was within reach. The elements had never been as real as they were now.

"Where am I?"

It was very strange. It was clearly Adam asking himself, but the moment he asked this question, his existence became real. The world entered his soul, or rather, his soul encompassed the world.

The next moment, Adam saw a net, a densely packed net that flickered with fluorescent light.

It was difficult to describe how big this net was. Adam only felt that any existence would seem insignificant in front of it.

"The Weave, this is the Weave of the Mage World!"

No one explained to Adam, and this knowledge naturally appeared in his mind. Pulling his vision closer, Adam discovered that every point was emitting the radiance of knowledge, and the patterns of the knowledge structure.

Pulling his vision even further, Adam saw the first line of the Weave, and the existence that was so great that it could not be named — the origin of the world, the heart of the Mage World.

On the origin, countless runes flickered. Every time they flickered, it was as if they were breathing, absorbing and releasing energy.

The Weave was an amalgamation of intelligence, knowledge, and energy. This was a network formed by all the mages. Every point of knowledge was connected to each other, and together, they achieved the strengthening of the origin of the world and the search for the ultimate truth.

Adam could feel the 'heart' beating vigorously, full of high-spirited vitality. It was happy for every piece of knowledge that was verified as real, and after containing the knowledge, it became stronger, and then generously rewarded the verifiers and discoverers of the knowledge.

This was the secret of Ether's gift!

Adam was deeply shocked. At this moment, Adam could feel that the world was alive. It was like a living creature that was seeking to evolve, transform, and transcend.

Adam couldn't imagine how great of an existence he would become if he obtained all the knowledge in the world one day. And on that day, the Weave and the wizards who made up the Weave, who were interdependent with him, would share the immense glory they would enjoy.

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Adam immediately heard a question from the unknown. This was a contract initiated by the world's Origin, there were no complicated terms, no harsh responsibilities, the world's Origin simply asked Adam with such a gentle question — — — 'Live together with me, share glory with me. You verify my existence, and I will bestow you with infinite power, is that possible?'

"Of course, it's an honor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the origin of the world emitted a gentle light, and the Weave began to expand, gently wrapping Adam's soul. The equations of electricity and magnetism turned into threads, connecting Adam and the Weave. The protection from the origin entered his soul, merging with the Mage Armour.

"It's an honor."

"The contract is established."

It was as if he was hugged by a mother, accompanied by endless joy and emotion. His soul sublimated at this moment, and Adam completed his promotion, breaking through from zero to one. He had completely transformed from a mortal into an extraordinary being!

At the same time, greetings from all the nodes of the Weave gently sounded in Adam's heart.

Hello.

Mage Adam.
