Chapter 516
"Three hundred years," Adam couldn't help but sigh when there was only one transition left before the World of Mages.
Even though he had long known that the war against the cataclysmic zone would be a protracted war, Adam still didn't expect that he would actually be fighting outside for nearly three hundred years. This time was even longer than the total time it took for him to advance from a mage apprentice to a Hyperdimensional mage.
"It's already very short. Now, foreign wars are much easier than before," Naeem said with a smile. "When we just had the ability to walk out of the plane, the simplest planar war would take hundreds of years to complete. If the war against the cataclysmic zone appeared in that era, let's not talk about whether we could win or not. Even if we could, it would take at least tens of thousands of years. The longest war I've experienced took a full three thousand years to capture a plane. "
Although time didn't mean much to mages with long lifespans, Adam still couldn't imagine how a war that lasted for thousands of years would be such a huge suffering.
Shaking his head and throwing his complicated thoughts aside, the two had already arrived outside the World of Mages. Due to the great victory in the war against the cataclysmic zone, batches of high-quality planes were sacrificed, causing the World of Mages to be in a state of large-scale magic tides for the past three hundred years.
The war was indeed very important. The current World of Mages was obviously much larger than before he went on the expedition, and there were also many sub-planes in the world's orbit that he had never seen before, among which there were countless creatures with tyrannical auras.
At this time, the World of Mages' crystal wall system opened a huge portal, and Adam knew that this was to welcome Naeem's return.
Most Necromancers were promoted in the World of Mages, and very few were promoted in the process of war like Naeem. Having an extra Necromancer was naturally not a small matter. It should be celebrated without restraint, to boost the morale of the other mages, and to intimidate the minions and slaves. Naeem was impatient with those trivial matters and refused all of them, but the official return still required a ceremony, which Naeem couldn't avoid.
After greeting him, Adam took the lead to enter the crystal wall system. It seemed that Adam was relaxed after returning from the war, but in fact, he was very busy. In addition to the calculation of his own war achievements, the most important thing was the handling and use of the Heavenly Axiom.
Seven days later, Adam sorted out his work matters and received a summons from Croft.

"This thing is equivalent to an alchemy item."
In the Inner World, in the isolated space opened by the Necromancers, the Heavenly Axiom was quietly floating in the air.
"Even an ordinary person can display the power of the Immortal path as long as they get it." Croft stepped forward and knocked on the Heavenly Dao. Immediately, a myriad of immortal spells shot out. "Moreover, its function is very powerful. As long as it is placed in an empty plane, it will quickly give birth to a new Daluotian."
The Taichu Skylord refined the origin according to the method of refining immortal tools and magic treasures, and the Heavenly Axiom was the materialization of the Taichu Path. This thing was very powerful, but there was no way to integrate it into the origin of the World of Mages.
"There is a conflict between the two. The Heavenly Axiom is too complete, so complete that it no longer has the potential to continue evolving. It will even assimilate everything that is still changing and operate according to its model. Forcibly integrating it into the origin of the World of Mages is not worth the loss."
Croft continued, "What do you think of putting it into the virtual world you built?"
After more than three hundred years of development, the various functions of the virtual world were already very mature. There were a large number of mages who didn't like to go out. In other words, they were very introverted. For these people, the virtual world had already become an inseparable part of their daily lives.
Be it virtual socializing, virtual trials, or the most important virtual research, or even the endless variety of games and dungeons, countless mages were addicted.
The dungeon of the Third Era, which had been the most important, had almost become a real Third Era world due to the influx of information from the cataclysm. It had already developed its own history. However, as more and more mages participated, the strength of the NPCs was no longer enough. After all, the power system inherited from the Martial God of the Qianyuan Realm and other samples could only reach level-3 at most. Therefore, the dungeon urgently needed to be upgraded and replaced with a new expansion pack.
Adam said, "I think this is a very good idea. However, the Heavenly Axiom is the materialization of the Taichu Skylord's own rules. It's on the conceptual level. After it is integrated into the virtual world and becomes the engine of the Third Era, the dungeon will become a real world. This is a hidden danger."
No matter what the Taichu Skylord's attitude was, his foundation was still a super void lifeform. As the materialization of the rules he grasped, the Heavenly Axiom was naturally suitable for the Third Era. With the addition of the Heavenly Axiom, level-4 NPCs would definitely appear in the dungeon very quickly. Furthermore, there was a high chance that they would become real conceptual lifeforms.
Croft smiled and said, "Your worries are very reasonable, but we can solve this problem. It's just that I don't understand the algorithm. I believe that no one in the entire world of mages knows it better than you. Is it possible to integrate it? "
"It's possible. It's not as difficult as you think." Adam thought for a moment before continuing, "I think it has some other uses."
Croft revealed an expression of listening.
"Using the refining methods of immortals to create magic treasures is different from the alchemy products of mages. Their immortal artifacts don't require the user to have much power."
Croft nodded. The immortal path of immortals was at most useful for mages to comprehend by analogy. However, the forging methods of immortal artifacts had direct value. It could bring about a huge leap in the knowledge of alchemy in the world of mages.
"You must have understood my Magic Construct products. If the Magic Construct is modified in the way of magic treasures and then a system is written in it, the core and server of the system is the Heavenly Axiom. This can solve the problem of ordinary people not being able to use high-grade magic tools. If this problem can be solved, the mortals of the world of mages will have even greater value."
This was an idea that Adam had thought of a long time ago. However, he had put it aside because he was busy with work. But now, the combination of magic treasures, Heavenly Axiom, and Magic Construct was beyond his expectations. The technical difficulty of achieving this idea was almost instantly overcome.
Moreover, it was very promising. Three hundred years was nothing to mages, but to mortals, it was many generations. The physical fitness of the mortals on the Academy Continent had greatly improved. After their horizons were broadened, their thirst for extraordinary power continued to rise. This group of people who suffered from the lack of talent to obtain power would definitely be willing to pay any price once they found something that could let them obtain power not inferior to that of a mage apprentice.
