Many of you must have read about the Book of Worlds
before. The book says there’s a giant aggregation of consciousnesses in the wizarding world. It’s both real and not real. It does not think, it has no emotion. It follows the primal rule. Someone call it nature, others call it the origin. But all in all, it’s a great being that keeps the world stable.
Plane fusion means two worlds are joining each other. It’s a destiny for wizards, but it’s also a double-edged sword for our world. A joining new world means the original limit of our own world will be expanded, but at the same time, much origin power will be lost. It both improves the future and costs something at present. Which is better or worse, we cannot say.
The Path of Infinity is a tunnel between two worlds that are slowly established after the world’s consciousness stops the black hole from expanding, by using its own origin power. That white vortex is the tunnel itself.
They say this is the biggest destiny for wizards because the two-way tunnel created using the origin power of the consciousness contains many wonders you can see, such as a distant plane, or the coordinate of a plane. You can even locate one of the worlds by using a small scent it leaves behind. The path connects to a large number of worlds and extends beyond any boundary, thus its name ‘Path of Infinity’.
Now everyone understood why the second stage was the biggest destiny. With the help of the original power of the wizarding world, looking for unknown planes and new expeditions meant limitless profit. Also, Lady Danae mentioned
the coordinate or a plane
, which meant they could spend materials to build a stable tunnel in the path that led to the coordinate!
Even Sunders showed a hint of desire in his expression. If he could go into the Path of Infinity and look for the coordinate of the Nightmare Realm, could he make a stable tunnel towards it?
Some people were getting restless while those who already knew these sneered at them.
But it’s not easy to enter the Path of Infinity. You must be a Level-5 Wizard or stronger. In other words, only legendary wizards can go inside. Anyone else will be forcefully shaped into an emotionless part of the origin by the world’s consciousness and never to come out again.
Those words silenced everyone.
Ever since Barzel the Great Twisted Wizard left one thousand years ago, there was no other legendary wizard in the southern region. Even Level-3 Wizards were scarce.
Legendary only? What should we do then? Just watch?
asked someone.
The same person yelled,
Unacceptable!
Lady Danae glanced at the speaker.
Of course you can force your way in. But as I said, the world’s consciousness will use its origin power to build the Path of Infinity. If someone goes in there or intervenes the process because of a fight, the consciousness WILL turn you into a small shard of origin power and use you as another stepping stone to build the path. You all be careful about your behaviors, so you don’t drag us all into oblivion.
‘Dryad’ Boko had been wearing a sad face ever since Lady Danae was here. His workmates were angry at him for losing most Fragments of Eternity to Sunders, and no one spoke to him. Yet, when he heard Lady Danae speaking about the impossibility to seize profit during the second stage, his greedy nature made him step up to ask,
What about the third stage, Lady Danae?
Danae looked at Boko and felt both angry and powerless. He made the right choice by paying something for his life. That was the common rule among wizards. Secondly, Boko discovered the plane fusion by chance and did something to quicken the process. Boko did nothing wrong. He even helped people notice the incident.
Yet, every time Danae thought about the fragments which should have been the property of Gravity Forest, she could not help but to cast a cold eye at Boko.
Danae let out a sigh. She was about to explain the third stage anyway.
The third stage was the final stage of plane fusion. The tunnel between two planes will become fixed, but there’s a time limit for it, during which we can go through the tunnel to retrieve resources from the other world. When the time ends, the other world will fuse itself onto the wizarding world as an appendage, and it will be difficult to find its entrance again. Wizards call this stage as the Time of Plunder.
Are you saying we can find destiny by plundering?
Someone asked.
Lady Danae nodded,
Correct. The disaster caused by the fusion will eliminate most powerful beings in the other world, and it’s a perfect chance for us to seize their resources.
Without powerful locals, plundering resources was an easier and safer task compared to the plane expedition. That was why many wizard organizations sent their people here.
Of course, there were both good and bad resources. They did not know anything about the other plane. Like Schrödinger’s Cat, nobody could tell what was inside until they opened the box.
Jajajaja… Who was the first one to discover the plane fusion? You can see the other world at the beginning of the fusion. Tell us what you saw, or… jajaja…
The speaker was the team leader of Floating Mech City, ‘Puppet Master’ Bogula, one of the three Level-2 Wizards on the scene. He was a man with red hair and full-cover soft armor which released a dark-violet glimmer.
Bogula spoke with his head tilted to one side. His stylish red hair hid half of his face, and he was licking at his lips with a slim, snake-like tongue. Combined with his occasional, terrible laughter, his handsome face was totally ruined.
Everyone went silent when Bogula spoke. Every wizard in the south more or less heard about his terrible endeavors. The man adored beautiful women because beauty could help him get new innovations. There was a rumor that every puppet he ever made was once his lover.
Hearing Bogula asking for the first witness of the fusion spot, Boko tried to hide behind others. Who knew whether Bogula would suddenly see him as another
beauty
and do something terrible?
Lady Danae would not want Boko to become the center of the attention either. She was angry at him but Boko was still on her side.
Sunders and Flora knew who was the witness. When Boko found the trace of the plane fusion, he immediately sent a familiar to Gravity Forest to contact them, but the familiar was intercepted by Sunders. That was why he and Flora arrived before everyone else, saved Boko, and earned a big share of the Fragments of Eternity.
Too bad the familiar was not Boko’s only way to convey the message, so Lady Danae still made it in time. Otherwise, Flora would totally get all of the fragments by blackmailing Boko.
They chose not to reveal Boko’s name.
Lady Danae sighed in relief. If Sunders would not do it, then no one else would sell Boko out.
However, in the next second, a sharp male voice came up aloud.
Boko? You were the first one to see the fusion, no? Then tell us about the opposite world!
