Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots

Chapter 1238: Chapter 500: Kingdoms and Cultivation (Part 2)

”Each failure means a regression of progress by months or even years.

Moreover, the pain and risk during the compression process are enough to make those without strong will give up completely.”

Uther’s tone became more serious:

”Wizards who manage to achieve tenfold compression, breaking through the minimum threshold of Dark Sun Level, account for less than one percent in the Moon Level group.”

This data shocked Ron.

He initially thought that with enough perseverance and resources, compressing Magic Power was just a matter of time.

He didn’t expect the failure rate to be so high.

”Second, accumulate contributions and experience, exchange for rare knowledge and resources.”

Uther pointed to the second circle:

”Not just for material assistance, but also as preparation for being elected as Associate Professor.”

”In Wizard Society, academic standing often surpasses pure personal strength in importance.

A Moonlight Level Mage with the title of Associate Professor has a social status and ability to access resources far beyond that of a peer without a title.”

”Because a title represents recognition, indicating your professional authority in a certain field.

And authority is the foundation of influence.”

This perspective differed slightly from Ron’s previous understanding.

Due to the recent disruptions by the Conquest Faction, he originally thought Wizard Society was solely based on strength, but didn’t realize that academic prestige still held such significance.

”Third, participate in the logistics and defense work of Otherworld bases.”

Uther pointed to the third circle, his tone becoming more earnest:

”This is to obtain the qualification for the ’Pioneer Certificate,’ preparing for the future establishment of one’s own colony.”

”You must understand, exploration in the Otherworld is not an adventure game, but the core mechanism of Wizard Civilization’s expansion.”

”Every successful base is an extension of civilization’s influence.

And the wizard who establishes the base will receive unimaginable favor feedback.”

At this point, Uther drew an upward arrow on the parchment:

”This is why Moonlight Level Mages are so eager to gain Pioneer Qualification at the root.”

”What about Dark Sun Level Wizards?” Ron asked.

”Dark Sun Level Wizards are truly ’lords of a region.’

Uther’s finger moved to the middle upper layer of the pyramid:

”When a wizard reaches this level, they are no longer a mere individual but start to have many followers.”

”Their main objectives have three, each requiring massive resources and energy.”

The old professor drew three larger circles on the other side of the parchment:

”First, perfect their ’Void Remains.’

”You must know that the initially condensed Phantom Skeleton Prototype is merely a rough framework.

The truly powerful Void Remains needs decades to hundreds of years of careful polishing and refinement.”

”This process requires a large amount of rare materials, deep ventures into dangerous Exotic Realms, and life-and-death struggles with other strong beings to test and enhance the stability of the Void Remains.”

”Second, find or create a perfect ’Soul Anchor.’

Uther’s eyes showed a hint of nostalgia:

”This is a necessary condition for impacting the Great Wizard realm.

The Soul Anchor not only must bear the wizard’s complete spirit but also provide stable mental support at critical moments.”

”Creating such an item usually takes a lifetime’s accumulation for Dark Sun Level Wizards.

Moreover, the compatibility between the Soul Anchor and the wizard directly dictates their future development limits.”

”Third, find a suitable, potential realm in the Otherworld.”

This is the most critical point, Uther’s tone became exceptionally solemn:

”This realm will become the base for future ’civilization seeds,’ also the starting point for a wizard to establish their own ’nation.’

”What kind of realm is chosen, what development strategy is adopted, will determine how much favor feedback the wizard can receive.”

Ron pondered over this information carefully, starting to understand Wizard Society’s real operational logic.

This isn’t just simple personal cultivation but a grand plan of civilization expansion.

Every wizard is a participant and a beneficiary of this plan.”

”Then what about the Great Wizards? They should have already established their complete colonies, right?” He continued to inquire.

”You’re right, real Great Wizards have all successfully established stable bases and spread the ’civilization seeds.’

Uther nods affirmatively:

”Their bases are their unformed ’nation.’

There, they are the absolute rulers, the creators of rules.”

”They can expand civilization’s influence by ’educating’ natives, encouraging intermarriage and reproduction.”

”Every native baptized by Wizard Civilization, every mixed-blood descendant with wizard lineage, every technology and knowledge spread in Otherworld, provides favor feedback to the base creator.”

”This feedback is the cornerstone for a wizard to reach higher realms and the source of their powerful strength.”

At this point, Uther drew a complex cycle chart on the parchment:

”The wider the civilization spreads, the stronger the favor feedback;

The stronger the favor feedback, the stronger the individual strength;

The stronger the individual strength, the larger the base they can establish, the wider the civilization influence they can spread.”

”This is a perfect positive feedback loop and is the fundamental reason why Wizard Civilization maintains a transcendent status in the universe.”

Hearing this, Ron suddenly thought of a question:

”Then about Cassandra’s conquest wars...”

”Cassandra’s conquest wars are actually a very extreme method of ’civilization seed’ propagation.”
