Golden Crown Mountain reveals the corridor of the Saffron Peach Garden. Locke greets his three Star Ring Wizard colleagues, then enters his research group’s laboratory and sits in his office, reviewing the progress of experiments on mushroom-type magical plants sent by the Celtic wizards.

He circles the experiments related to the *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* genus in the data, indicating that they should conduct more experiments in this area. The

*Gynostemma pentaphyllum* genus is numerous and diverse, with new species appearing every year. There are also many cultivated subspecies with different mystical meanings. From planting and growth to mycelial reproduction, various diseases, and the unique points of mycelial fusion, each differs. This work is tedious yet fundamental, requiring sufficient sensitivity and magical skill to perform.

Locke then had his team members do these things, and then checked the articles he had asked the wizard Gordon to write.

“Gordon has practiced; the quality is very high, and the speed is fast. According to his resume, he entered Golden Crown Mountain using this skill, which has really helped me a lot. This is faster than asking a generalist wizard to help me.”

Locke read through the six articles on the new structure of Garden Cavern written by the wizard Gordon.

“After a few more proofreadings, it can be submitted.”

Locke glanced at the numerous invitation messages sent to him by the editors of the journals in Lingzhi Magic Plants. Obviously, those editors had keenly anticipated that he had articles to submit and therefore wanted to invite him in advance.

However, Locke still decided to submit to “Raize,” because this was Raize’s favorite area, and it was a perfect

match for his major.

Yunze and Yuze had other inclinations.

Locke found the invitation message from Raize’s editor and replied to him.

The Razer Lowlands, the Wizarding Lands, are home to a cluster of wizarding markets. The wizards’ communities are relatively concentrated because the wizards here have spent millennia gathering underground magical veins, searching for areas with naturally concentrated magical tidal gradients, and using the earth magic of the Life School and the wind and water magic of the Evocation School to locate suitable natural energy points.

This infrastructure has shaped the lifestyle of the wizards here, making it completely different from that of wizards in other wizarding lands.

This has also resulted in the Razer Lowlands being vast and dispersed; the mortal areas have virtually no wizards, while the number of wizards in the wizarding lands is unimaginably large compared to other wizarding lands.

Meanwhile, in an editor’s office at the headquarters of the Razer Journal, a Moon Ring Wizard editor saw Locke’s reply and immediately understood that Locke was preparing to submit an article to Razer. He excitedly stood up, “Great! This month’s performance is definitely guaranteed!”

To maintain Razer’s prestige, the journal needed to invite reputable and skilled wizards from relevant fields to publish each month.

Razer particularly favored new Garden Cave structures, or entirely new creations like new magical fire, magical sources, and magical lightning

. This editor, realizing that Locke would definitely return to publish articles after leaving the Rain Swamp, immediately extended numerous invitations to Locke.

The journal strictly prohibited privately promising magic stones as incentives to invited wizards; otherwise, the invitation system would quickly become a competition of who had the most money.

Razer, concerned with the prestige of a wizarding land, would never do such a thing.

But this editor, Wizard Kevin, was even prepared to secretly use his own magic stones to subsidize Locke.

Fortunately, Locke replied.

Even if he secretly used his own money to subsidize Locke, if this behavior were discovered, he could easily lose his job and face fines.

Kevin Moon Ring Wizard pondered, “I wonder how many papers this wizard plans to submit this month?”

“By the way, I’d like to ask Wizard Augustine if he’d be willing to be a reviewer. I happen to have two papers that need reviewers, one on the new structure of Garden Cavern, and the other on a new application of an old structure. In this field, the wizard who created the Ten Kings Bottle Garden Cavern should be the most authoritative.”

In his office at Golden Crown Mountain, Locke saw the reviewer invitation Kevin Wizard had sent him. He guessed that it was probably because he had recently published too many papers on the new structure of Garden Cavern, so people might mistakenly think he was an expert in this area, hence the invitation for him to provide evaluation as a junior colleague.

Locke decisively declined the request and sent a message to Kevin Wizard.

“I think I need some more time to reflect. I won’t mislead anyone. Besides, I’ve been very busy lately, and I really don’t have time to review other people’s articles. Editor Kevin, let’s forget about this.”

Editor Kevin immediately sent an understanding emoji.

Locke glanced at it and thought it was strange that the other party only sent him emojis in each reply.

At this moment, Queen Ella had already made a video call request. After Locke agreed, an image of Queen Ella riding on the back of a white tiger and a dwarf moon-ring wizard appeared immediately.

Locke and the dwarf wizard bowed to each other.

Queen Ella then introduced Locke, “Locke, this is the powerful wizard of the Conjuration School I introduced to you. He is a wizard of the third-level discipline of Replication in Conjuration.”

“His name is Simpson Lucky. He is a wizard from the medium-sized world of the Dwarf Giants. He rarely operates in the native wizarding world, but rather in the colonies of the wizarding world.” “

When I first contacted him, his first reaction was to refuse, saying that he was too busy. However, thanks to your current reputation, he heard that I came to him because of you, so he agreed to meet with you and discuss helping us produce wizard shoes.”

Locke bowed to the dwarf wizard. “Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Lucky. What

kind of deal do you wish to complete with me?”

The dwarf wizard Lucky scratched his head and said, “No need for such formalities, Augustine Wizard.”

“Although I am a great wizard of replication, our lineage has long since declined. There are very few wizards studying replication now. I am already considered one of the few remaining moon-ring wizards of replication,”

Locke raised an eyebrow. “Why is this?”

The dwarf giant wizard, Lach, chuckled憨厚ly. “Copying magic is extremely complex to learn, requiring a vast amount of knowledge. One’s understanding of various disciplines alone is comparable to that of a generalist wizard. It also demands a deep understanding of psychic magic, and the spell models used require extensive calculations. This magical discipline is heavily reliant on exceptional wizarding geniuses, but our copying magic naturally has a lower ceiling than others.” “

For a long time, we haven’t been able to attract wizarding geniuses, and mediocre wizards simply lack the ability to learn.”

“Over time, the number of wizards in our lineage has dwindled. We are already the last lineage of this third-level discipline. Moreover, once the number of students in a discipline decreases to the point where its foundation begins to decline, it enters a slow death phase. Unless a truly exceptional talent emerges within this discipline, it’s difficult to reverse this decline.”

“Alas, our discipline was at its strongest during the Dark Ages. Back then, our lineage copied the foundations of others, constructing our own Golden Age.”

Locke thought for a moment and understood why. “The overall ceiling was low in that era?”

The dwarf wizard Lucky nodded. “Yes. In the Dark Ages, everyone’s ceiling was only the second ring. So

the biggest disadvantage of copying magic was gone. On the contrary, everyone hovered around the second ring, allowing them to focus on studying things within that realm. And in order to fight against those enemies who mastered high-ring magic, the value of copying magic became apparent. Or rather, our school’s magic was born in the Dark Ages; it was a case of starting strong but ending weak.”

Locke nodded. “Thank you, Wizard Lucky, for introducing me to the history of your copying magic. Wizard Lucky has said so much, you must be trying to tell me how rare someone like you is. I wonder what Wizard Lucky wants in return for helping me?”

Wizard Lucky opened his eyes, and for a moment, his honesty vanished, revealing a cunning glint in his eyes. “This is my ultimate magic—Copy Magic.”

He opened his right hand, revealing a series of square energy spheres resembling black Rubik’s Cubes in his palm. These spheres collided with each other, each collision causing phase interference and overlap.

Each phase interference revealed extremely complex spell models.

Locke scanned these complex spell models; even he struggled to memorize them instantly. No wonder Lucky had said that copying was too difficult and inefficient, leading to a decline in the number of wizards studying it. The basic spell models of this third-level discipline of conjuration magic were indeed far too complex. Locke

suspected that this wasn’t just a matter of whether one could learn it or not.

The sheer complexity of these spell models, even just constructing them in one’s mind, would create a severe mental burden, hindering casting speed, energy consumption, and the overall difficulty of construction. This was something only a truly exceptional genius could master.

Locke asked, “Mr. Lucky, if I’m not mistaken, you want me to force your Great Power Magic back to its current state.”

Lucky’s eyes flickered; how could a dwarf giant capable of copying be an honest man?

“You surprise me, Wizard Augustine.”

“How did you guess?”

Locke said, “I realized it when you demonstrated your Great Power Magic.”

The witch Ella, riding the white tiger, had only just learned of Lucky’s purpose. She glanced at the dwarf giant wizard with his憨厚 (honest and simple) smile, then looked at Locke and nodded slightly. Indeed, Locke’s Great Power Magic had demonstrated the ability to regress a fake forging during the competition.

And this ability was enough to attract many wizards.

The wizard Lucky bowed to Queen Ella to express his apology, then said to Locke, “Because I lacked sufficiently qualified teachers, I had to explore on my own. While researching replication using my own abilities, I was too eager to engage in pseudo-forging to increase the confidence of other wizards within my lineage in this magical field. Even if the foundation is incomplete, if confidence is lost, then no one will truly study replication. But because I was too hasty in the pseudo-forging stage, I went down the wrong path.”

“My ultimate spell, Replication Magic, pseudo-forged a special phase space. When you cast your spell, I didn’t copy your spell, but rather the space in which you cast it. By manipulating phase and time, I made

this space constantly switch between different phases, causing a spell that appeared in this space to repeatedly reappear.” “

Therefore, I should be able to imitate thirty percent of the power of your ultimate spell, Tree of Prosperity.”

“So, I’m confident I can help you and Arthas complete that order of wizard shoes.”

“I can even do it for free,”

the wizard Lucky said, looking at Locke with eager anticipation.

“But my ultimate magic was rushed and prematurely forged, leaving me stuck in this limbo, unable to progress further. No matter how I forge this magical space, it’s useless; I can’t truly forge it. As for how to truly forge it, I can’t figure it out right now.” “I

have no specific direction.”

“However, I think I should focus on the core of replication, the relativity of spiritual touch. But that would require me to readjust my virtual forging.” “

But my ultimate magic is already forged, possessing constancy. Minor repairs are fine, but such a major overhaul…”

Wizard

Lucky scratched his head, revealing a simple yet helpless expression, saying, “I’m truly helpless.

I’ve tried for a long time, but I can’t get my ultimate magic back on track.”

Wizard Lucky stared at Locke, swallowing hard. “Wizard Locke, no, Lord Locke. You previously defeated Edgar’s ultimate magic in the Probus Truth Unveiling Competition, knocking it back from its false forging stage.”

“As long as you’re willing to help me, I can help you not only this time, but in the future too.”

Locke remained silent, then after some thought, he said to Wizard Lucky, “Wizard Lucky, I need to correct something. I didn’t use my ultimate magic to knock Edgar’s ultimate magic off the fake forge. Instead, I used a combination of my, Macedon’s, and Edgar’s ultimate magic to achieve this. The reason I dared to do this was because it was during the competition, in that special space, where everything could be salvaged.” “

But outside of the competition, it’s completely different. Moreover, Edgar’s ultimate magic itself used my fake forge – Little Leather, and it was an ultimate magic built around the Tree of Life.” “

Under these special conditions, I was able to do it. And during the competition, Edgar David even came close to death twice.”

“I don’t think I’m capable of doing this for you in the wizarding world right now. Your fake forge – copy magic isn’t breeding magic, and it doesn’t have my fake forge – Little Leather. I don’t think I can help you.”

A moment of panic flashed in Wizard Lucky’s eyes, then his gaze calmed, and he stared at Locke, saying, “How could that be?”

“How will you know it won’t work if you don’t try?”

“Just try it,”

Locke said. “I refuse.”

“Because I judge that it’s definitely impossible, and failure will have a backlash, which is very dangerous for you, and very dangerous for me as well. Destroying a Great Magic spell, especially a Great Magic spell at the Pseudo-Forging stage—that would trigger very serious magical ripples and backlash. Strictly speaking, a Great Magic spell at the Pseudo-Forging stage is already a finished product; its framework cannot be changed at all.”

“Once damaged, it cannot be restored, only repaired.”

“If I destroy your Pseudo-Forging Great Magic spell, it might even lead to your death, or even cause you to regress to the first stage. Who knows? After all, I haven’t tried it before, and related research needs to go through an ethics review committee, so there’s relatively little data.”

Wizard Lucky stared at Locke, seemingly judging whether Locke was lying.

Wizard Lucky became somewhat angry. “Wizard Locke, you’re not lying to me, are you? I know this will take a lot of your time and energy, and you’re just making excuses because you don’t want to help me? I saw you were capable of doing it in the competition.”

“Combining our strengths, I can even fully replicate your ultimate magic through replication. If we use large-scale magical equipment, I should be able to replicate a peak-state Tree of Prosperity in 0.1 seconds. With two trees working together, is it impossible?”

“If other wizards are needed, I’m willing to use my savings to invite the Macedonian witch and Wizard Edgar.”

Locke glanced at Wizard Lucky. He knew what Wizard Lucky was thinking, but he had to shatter his impossible hopes immediately. Otherwise, giving someone false hope would only create enmity when their hopes were dashed, and cooperation would be impossible.

Locke said, “I know you’re eager to reforge, Wizard Luchi. But my Tree of Prosperity really can’t help you for at least a while.”

“You can propose other deals; I’m not making excuses, I’m just stating the facts.”

“If I were deceiving you, that would be the real excuse.”

Wizard Luchi and Locke locked eyes.

Queen Ella sensed something was wrong and was about to speak to ease the tension.

Wizard Luchi hesitated for a moment, then sighed to Locke.

“Please forgive my rashness and skepticism. I was simply too impatient. Once the forging is complete, it’s very difficult to make fundamental changes to it.”

“Making such changes might even prematurely trigger the collapse of my great magic. Just because Wizard Locke can’t help me now doesn’t mean he can’t help me later. I can offer another deal.”

Queen Ella breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face. “Even if the deal falls through, the favor remains. There’s no need for you two to be in such a hurry.”

“Mr. Lucky, do you have any other requests?”

Lucky bowed to her, knowing she was reminding him not to offend Locke now, as he wouldn’t be able to ask for help later, even if Locke could do it himself.

Lucky said to Locke, “I request a certain percentage of the net profit from this deal.”

“I also request that Mr. Augustine give my lineage an online open course on breeding.”

Locke was surprised by this request, but quickly understood. For wizards of the Replication School of Conjuration, learning more about the magic of wizards from different regions and schools would greatly benefit their Replication skills.

However, with their lineage declining, they seemed to have entered a vicious cycle, making these resources difficult to obtain.

Lucky scratched his head and said, “Would that be alright?”

Queen Ella asked, “What percentage?”

Queen Ella was very concerned about the profit; after all, she was running a business, not a charity.

“I want 30%!” said Wizard Lucky. Locke’s

brow twitched. This was a deal worth nearly 400 million in total sales, and the other party was asking for 30%.

This seemingly honest and simple dwarf giant wasn’t as easy to talk to as he appeared; the other party really dared to ask for a high price.

Queen Ella frowned, then, expressionless, calmly and decisively said, “20%. After all, Wizard Lucky, you need to use the Great Magic – Copy Magic Space to replicate the spell energy of the Great Magic – Tree of Prosperity. You’ve done a great service. I hope you can go to Golden Crown Mountain as soon as possible to complete this task. Mr. Locke can also use Little Peach Mountain to enter the dwarf giant world and give lectures offline, without needing to go online.”

Queen Ella turned to look at Locke with a smile on her face.

“Locke, your Little Peach Mountain in Golden Crown Mountain is a well-known void port in the wizarding world, and the dwarf giant world is in near-Earth orbit in the wizarding world, a satellite world of the wizarding world. You can directly go to the dwarf giant world by renting a void warship through Little Peach Mountain. The whole process will only take about a day.”

Locke pondered for a moment. “Alright, I agree.”

The dwarf wizard Ratchet was about to speak, wanting to secure an extra 10% of the profits, when Queen Ella spoke up: “Let’s consider this 20% of the net profit as part of Arthas’s rightful share. In other words, Arthas can sign a contract with Ratchet, and Arthas will pay this portion.” “

Similarly, we will supervise Ratchet’s completion of the contract and provide appropriate working environment support.”

Ratchet hesitated, and Queen Ella, still looking at him with a kind gaze, somehow felt pressure. Arthas was a massive, top-tier business alliance, its shareholders’ meeting organized by numerous third- and fourth-circle wizards—an unshakeable behemoth to Locke and Ratchet. Under the pressure from Arthas and Queen Ella’s aura, Ratchet yielded, bowing to her and saying, “Since you’ve said so, how could I dare to insist? I’ll just take 20% of the profits.”

“Wizard Locke, give Arthas the cultivation techniques and seeds.”

“Now cast the Great Spell – Tree of Prosperity, and I will use my magical space to capture it.”

Locke looked at Wizard Ratchet with surprise, but didn’t say much. It seemed that the copying magic of the Conjuration School was more complex and magical than he had thought. No wonder it required exceptionally talented wizards to pass it down; it meant that the other party only needed the information to copy.

Locke took the Tree of Prosperity wand from the collar of his wizard’s robe and waved it. Immediately, the Tree of Prosperity shone with golden magical light. Mirror copy, subtraction copy, restoration copy—after removing the power of the Persepolis gods, using the Three-in-One Cultivation Method as its core support and the False Forged Leather as its body, the Tree of Prosperity released unparalleled life magic power. Under this golden light, everything seemed to be growing wildly. The

surrounding spiritual energy became fresh and light, and the air became clean and sweet.

Wizard Ratchet opened his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“What immense power, what dazzling life magic! It shines like a pearl!”

If Wizard Locke continues to improve, he might be able to solve my problem. I need to befriend him.

Wizard Lucky extended his left hand and chanted a spell, “Only an inexperienced copying wizard needs the copied object to stand before him when using magic.”

“The founder of our copying science believes that the fundamental attributes of information precede matter and energy; information is the inherent

and only true attribute of space.”

The black cube energy body in his hand flickered and split, forming sixteen in total, constantly creating phantoms. These phantoms surrounded his palm, and the space surrounding these phantom cubes was modified by the dwarf wizard Lucky, who defined all the information attributes of the space to be basically the same as Locke’s original space. Then he chanted another spell, and after obtaining Locke’s consent, the Ganoderma lucidum plant released a spiritual breath to indirectly search the surrounding spatial attributes. Immediately afterwards, he adjusted the spatial attributes in his hand, using magic to adjust the various attribute information to the state of the space after Locke used the Great Magic – Tree of Prosperity.

After obtaining the initial attributes of the space where Locke was located and the attributes Locke altered using magic,

the sixteen phantom cubes in his hand began to merge one by one. Then, the phantom cubes devoured the space in his palm, and a radiant light emanating from a Tree of Prosperity appeared in his hand. Locke could vaguely see the Tree of Prosperity’s true form within this golden light, though it was merely an illusion.

After all, the wizard Lucky had only adjusted the key attributes of his magical space through some means, then simulated the effect of his Tree of Prosperity.

Essentially, he wasn’t simulating the Tree of Prosperity itself, but rather the space influenced by it, and not even directly simulating the space, but rather simulating its attribute information.

Locke suspected that the science of replication had serious problems from the beginning, such as theoretical flaws, which led to the gradual extinction of almost all branches of this doctrine after the Dark Ages, resulting in a continuous outflow of genius wizards.

From the magic Lucky had just cast and his own explanation of replication, Locke believed that the entire science of replication seemed to be based on a priori assumption: the essence of space is information.

Locke secretly used the Ganoderma lucidum plant to research papers on replication. Sure enough, he discovered that this a priori hypothesis had only been theoretically and computationally verified, never proven experimentally, and even the calculations themselves had significant problems.

In other words, this ancient magic was likely in a state of spurious forging, or even a poorly done one.

The real dilemma for the wizard Lucky was that if he followed replication theory completely, he would never be able to achieve true forging because the theory was flawed and experimental proof was elusive.

He ultimately used a shortcut: instead of forging the theory itself, he forged a space.

Locke glanced at a Zone 1 journal article published by Lucky, which argued that a portion of the crystal wall system of the Great World could be directly borrowed and used to create a kind of portable space. This article seemed to be a rare Zone 1, second-tier publication in replication.

However, this article didn’t use replication; it used spatial science within the conjuration school.

The fact that a theory was so difficult to publish in Zone 1 and 2 journals suggested that it inherently had problems.

In other words, the wizard Lucky was using the spatial science of the Conjuration School to forge a pseudo-ultimate spell, but his pseudo-forging of ultimate spells was still based on replication—a theory that was likely impossible to forge in the first place, a theory heading in the wrong direction.

After reviewing his articles, Locke finally understood why the wizard Lucky was so anxious.

Replication was a dead end, and while spatial science had a promising future, because he started with replication and directly and forcibly forged a pseudo-forging success, his replication magic space couldn’t escape the scope of replication; otherwise, the pseudo-forging would immediately break down, falling out of the second ring.

This was simply a dead end.

And that wasn’t the worst part.

The worst part was that the wizard Lucky still seemed unwilling to give up replication, believing that the fundamental theory of replication wasn’t wrong, just that it couldn’t be experimentally proven.

After reading his articles, Locke understood everything, and then he began to compare himself to the wizard Lucky.

The foundations of his two ultimate spells were both breeding, earth magic, potion-making, and a little bit of archaeology and gold magic.

He was lucky; he had followed the broadest path, which was why he hadn’t encountered the same embarrassing problem as the wizard Lucky.

His pseudo-forging technique, Little Leather, was based on reverse potion refining and spiritual energy cultivation.

However, upon reflection, he realized he was right not to make empty promises to Wizard Lucky about solving his problems.

The wizarding world was vastly different from the Creation Lotus World. Every wizard here was a powerful figure, and the higher the level, the more extraordinary their abilities. His own Tree of Prosperity could form a celestial tribulation within the Creation Lotus World, torturing all the elves. But currently, his ultimate magic was only effective against wizards specializing in potion refining and breeding.

For the replication science of this conjuration school, it was indeed somewhat inadequate for the time being.

The fundamental problem with replication science was that its creator himself might not have even attempted pseudo-forging using replication alone. The entire theory was a failed, unrealistic forging.

Locke pondered: The wizarding world was indeed far too vast; this civilization was incomparable to ordinary civilizations in the endless void. If I started with spiritual energy cultivation, could I help Wizard Lucky? He actually started thinking about it.

It seemed he had no ideas for the time being. Wait a minute, starting with spiritual energy might indeed be able to help Wizard Ratchet.

The flow of spiritual energy represents the flow of life force; perhaps it can be used to assist a wizard in finding a theoretical breakthrough, or rather, to adjust his physical and spiritual state, allowing him to better pursue a particular path.

A flash of magical lightning appeared in Locke’s eyes.

Wizard Ratchet looked at Locke, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He didn’t know what Locke was thinking, only that Locke’s magical pressure seemed to have improved again.

Queen Ella looked at Locke with surprise and amazement.

“Just by understanding the current predicament of Wizard Lucky and quickly gaining a preliminary understanding of the difficulties of the Replication School of Conjuration, he has made such progress. Is this the level of a wizard who can forge universal truths on his own? Given time, his achievements in breeding will surely surpass mine.”

Queen Ella sighed inwardly. Fortunately, this kid’s research path does not overlap with mine, so I don’t need to worry about encountering a rising star competing with me for the representative species and dominant representative species in my research on the breeding of holly-type holly magical plants.

Wizard Lucky said to Locke, “Alright, I have copied a portion of your Great Magic – Tree of Prosperity. I used my full strength, and it’s about 20% of its level.”

Queen Ella asked, “Is it because we didn’t meet?”

“If we copied it in person, could the level of the copied magic be enhanced? We in Arthas have strict requirements for product quality. Although Arthas is just a platform, how many platforms in the past have been abandoned by wizards because they didn’t pay attention to product quality?”

Queen Ella curled her lips into a faint smile. “Arthas has been trying to forge the fake version, but he always fails,”

Wizard Lucky explained. “It’s not a problem of not meeting him. It’s that the Tree of Prosperity is too powerful.”

“And also—”

“Nothing.”

Locke looked at Wizard Lucky, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said, “Is it because the fundamental theory of replication is flawed, resulting in a huge discrepancy between the simulation and reality?”

Wizard Lucky narrowed his eyes, quite dissatisfied.

“I don’t know how long you’ve been involved with replication, Wizard Locke. Your viewpoint is truly absurd. Once you delve into replication, it’s like entering a deep sea. That means our books on replication are vast, with countless works, articles, and experimental projects. Even though it has declined in modern times, just digging into the materials from our theories during the Dark Ages would be enough to keep a wizard busy for a lifetime. It’s not something someone can comment on after glancing at our replication materials a few times.”

Locke was glad he hadn’t agreed to spend time helping Wizard Lucky try to recreate part of his fake forging spell; judging from his reaction, it was hopeless.

If he were to team up with this wizard to solve the problem of replication, wouldn’t he be letting him waste decades of his time?

Moreover, what the wizard said wasn’t without merit, making it difficult for him to refute it.

Besides, they were all seekers of truth; who knew if this dwarf wizard, Lucky, could actually achieve anything on this path?

Queen Ella coughed. “So, is it possible for Lucky to enter our Arthas soon to assist us with production?”

The dwarf wizard Lucky scratched his head and immediately apologized to Locke, saying, “I’m sorry, Locke. I’m rather sensitive about this. You know, for wizards of declining doctrines like us, if we lose even this much persistence, we truly have no spirit left. We might as well not live. I’m sorry, I overreacted just now.”

Locke nodded, not holding it against him. He had just been testing Lucky’s attitude towards replication, intentionally saying that.

The wizard Lucky said to Queen Ella, “Very well, I can go to Arthas at any time. This level should be sufficient for now. It’s just that my work efficiency will be a little lower. I can bring wizards from our lineage to help, using enchanted magic arrays to enhance my ultimate magic. Combined with the strength of hundreds of people in our lineage, we can increase the replication efficiency to 50%

to 80%.”

“That’s good enough.”

Queen Ella looked at the wizard Lucky with surprise.

The wizard Lucky said, “That’s why I initially wanted 30% of the reward. That way, I could afford to invite so many wizards. However, our replication skills are indeed not as good as before, and in addition, I want to make friends with Locke, and to give Queen Ella face, so let’s say 20%.”

Locke and Queen Ella nodded.

Locke said to Queen Ella, “I will give the Dream Flower and the seeds of the Golden Dragon Claw Pineapple to Witch Scarlett, who will then deliver them to you, Witch Ella.” “

In addition, she will also provide you with the processing standards and cultivation plan.”

The key to the Starry Golden Dragon Claw lies in the star formed from the divine power of the Persepolis gods within the Mountain and River World, so there’s no need to worry about technology leaks.

Queen Ella smiled, “In that case, the previous order issue will be perfectly resolved. We can complete this order within a month.”

“Everyone is happy.”

“I hope all three of us can maintain long-term cooperation.”

Locke and Wizard Ratchet both nodded, as cooperation was indeed beneficial to them. For Locke, it

would save him a lot of trouble, and he could use the immense magic of the Tree of Prosperity for a long time and quickly—an advantage of his lineage. If he were alone, simply expending his magic to the limit every day would leave him no energy to do or think about anything else.

As for the copying wizards, their lineage had long since declined, and finding work was not easy.

Locke’s situation was rather special; they couldn’t always find such lucrative work.

Locke said to Wizard Lucky, “Wizard Lucky, I am very grateful for the contributions your lineage has made to Augustus, so I will immediately find time to give a public lecture on breeding in the region where your lineage is located. I will go next Monday, is that alright?” Wizard Lucky

‘s face showed surprise and a smile. “Of course, that’s fine. Thank you for your trouble, Wizard Locke. If you need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask us for help. We are very honored to have made friends with Wizard Locke.”

The three had a friendly exchange when suddenly the entire Eastern Boundary World began to tremble.

The fifty-three wizarding lands and the natural barriers between them all shook and trembled continuously.

Even the image communication between the Ganoderma lucidum plants could not be maintained.

At Cloud Lake, in the Gourd Water Garden, on a small boat, the old wizard put away his fishing rod. He noticed that the fishing line had no hook, just a line. He sighed.

“Since the Ascension Project began, all sorts of demons and monsters have emerged. Things are getting worse every day.

Has the God of Truth of the Persepolis pantheon finally been completed? Is this the perfect god sought by the four pantheons of the Persepolis pantheon? Or is this a void weapon designed to target our wizarding civilization?”

In the Saffron Peach Orchard on Golden Crown Mountain, Locke saw two suns appear in the sky above the wizarding world, their scorching light burning across the entire realm. From the second, suddenly appearing sun, a divine being emerged from the radiance.

“Your Eastern Realm of the wizarding world wants to ascend to become the overlord of this endless void? Don’t you have to ask the Persepolis pantheon first?”

Two third-ringed god-kings had appeared before that divine being.

The fourth legion of the void warships immediately focused their aim on the three god-kings, but at that moment, something seemed to happen; the void warships’ aim suddenly shifted away.

Locke was astonished by this scene. “Did Mystic Heaven order the Void Warships to halt their return to defense?”

“Is it because the Persepolis gods are clearly targeting the Ascension Project in the Eastern Realm, not the entire Wizarding World? The God of Truth of the gods was originally created to counter the Ascension Project.”

“Starfield Sea and Mystic Heaven may have reached some kind of agreement. How will things develop now? Why did the gods suddenly descend at the moment when the Venom World intersected with the Eastern Realm? Is there some connection between them? After all, the Venom World is a world where the wizards would gain less than they would lose in resources from attacking it. Could it be that the gods guided them here? If so, this is essentially a war between the wizards and the Persepolis gods!”

Locke hadn’t expected the gods’ attack on the Wizarding World to be so sudden. Perhaps the Ascension Project in Starfield Sea was simply too stimulating

for the gods.

Locke realized that as he progressed higher, he became increasingly aware of the struggle between the entire wizarding civilization and its enemies in the endless void. His development seemed to extend beyond his own personal progress, beginning to impact the entire world.

Locke opened the Ganoderma lucidum plant and discovered that a wizarding vote had been initiated across the Starfield Sea, concerning whether the Eastern Realm should declare war on the Logos and Terra pantheons of the Persepolis gods

.
