In Golden Harbor, Jie Ming’s forr private mansion now awaited the preliminary completion of the “Golden Garden.”
Outside the city, tens of thousands of residents toiled under strict plans, their sweat shaping the flat land into the outline of a garden.
anwhile, Jie Ming had “exiled” himself to the profound depths of his mansion’s underground laboratory.
This was his true sanctuary—a world of cold tal surfaces, stacks of runic scrolls, and an array of intricate alchemical instrunts.
David’s research notes lay quietly on his workbench, serving as a new cornerstone for Jie Ming’s deep dive into the divine faith network of the Elosia plane.
While David’s work didn’t match Jie Ming’s depth in analyzing the divine faith network, it offered a radically different perspective.
David focused on the underlying logic of mortal emotions, the essence of faith power, and how to efficiently incite and guide these forces.
This incisive analysis of the “source” opened Jie Ming’s eyes, as if a new door had been flung wide.
Previously, his research on the divine faith network centered on energy transmission.
But in truth, the official term for the divine faith network was the energy transmission and conversion system—encompassing not just transmission but also conversion.
This realization propelled Jie Ming’s research into the energy conversion system of the Elosia plane’s divine faith network, like dry tinder eting a blazing fire, yielding astonishing results in no ti.
“Here it is… this adjustnt should do it…”
At the laboratory’s center, Jie Ming focused intently on tuning a floating tal disc.
This was his elental storage runic artifact.
Compared to before, the disc now bore additional, obscure, and complex patterns in a slightly different hue.
These new patterns were the latest fruits of his recent studies into the divine faith network.
Interwoven with the original runic system, they coexisted like two distinct lifeforms in a single vessel, creating a marvelous harmony.
His improvents not only increased the storage capacity of the elental storage runic artifact but, more crucially, dramatically enhanced its recovery effect and significantly reduced the difficulty of replenishing its elental pool.
Previously, filling the artifact required a specialized charging device or Jie Ming’s prolonged guidance.
Now, with his newly developed technology, it could autonomously absorb elents from the environnt to recharge!
This ant the artifact could operate independently, nearly self-sufficient.
Soon, Jie Ming finished calibrating the disc, confirming all runes were activated and the energy circuits stable.
He carefully brought it to the lab’s depths, into a testing ground enveloped by multiple protective sorcery arrays.
These arrays, set up by his own hand for high-risk experints, isolated all internal energy fluctuations to prevent accidents.
“Self-charging mode, activate.”
At his command, the disc’s new patterns lit up, emitting a faint glow.
The artifact humd lowly as it began to operate at high speed.
The next mont, the monitoring instrunts clearly showed that the elental forces within the testing ground were instantly drained, leaving the once elent-rich space as empty as a vacuum.
This phenonon didn’t surprise Jie Ming—other runic artifacts could achieve similar effects upon activation.
But then, sothing truly astonishing happened!
The protective sorcery arrays surrounding the disc began to tremble violently, their runic glow rapidly dimming.
The barriers visibly thinned, as if on the verge of collapse!
Jie Ming’s pupils contracted, but his face soon lit up with uncontainable excitent.
“This… this is…” His mind raced, countless thoughts flashing through his ntal sea like lightning.
Rushing to the monitoring instrunts, he studied the data, his face breaking into an irrepressible grin.
“After integrating the divine faith network technology, this elental storage runic artifact, in self-charging mode, forcibly plunders elental forces from pre-ford sorcery structures around it?!”
This wasn’t re “absorption”—it was “plunder”!
Ordinary absorption drew free, unutilized elental forces from the environnt.
Plunder, however, tore elents directly from bound, utilized sorcery structures!
Though the artifact’s plundering effect wasn’t yet strong enough to destroy a powerful sorcery array, it hinted at a terrifying possibility.
When activated, this artifact could create a formidable anti-magic field, weakening any sorcery cast nearby by siphoning its elental forces.
“This isn’t right…”
After the initial thrill, Jie Ming’s eyes flickered with doubt.
While core technologies were closely guarded, available knowledge suggested no wizard researching the divine faith network had achieved this “plundering” effect.
This made sense—the divine faith network was fundantally an energy conversion and transmission system, not a plundering one. The two were inherently different.
After so thought, Jie Ming contacted ntor Clark, ordering a standard-model small elental pool.
Elental pools were mass-produced, standardized products with modules for user modifications.
Jie Ming planned to use it as a control to test his hypothesis.
Days later, the elental pool arrived via the camp’s teleportation array.
Jie Ming eagerly disassembled it, applying the sa technology to it.
He cautiously activated the modified pool for a test run.
As expected, it boosted the efficiency of charging from the elental plane, collecting energy several tis faster than before.
This aligned with other wizard civilizations’ findings on faith networks.
Yet, it lacked the astonishing “plundering” effect of his runic artifact.
The protective arrays remained unshaken.
“There’s definitely sothing off.” Jie Ming’s heart sank.
This proved the issue wasn’t solely with the divine faith network technology.
The answer was clear—the elental pool’s structure was purely wizard civilization runes, without any cultivation civilization seals.
His runic artifact, however, combined wizard runes with cultivation seals, sparking a unique chemical reaction.
“But… why this result?” Jie Ming disconnected from the magic network, frowning, and dove back into his runes and notes.
Retracing every research step, inspiration, and detail over sleepless days and nights, he finally found a plausible explanation.
The key lay in the differing approaches to power between wizard and cultivation civilizations.
Wizard civilization relied on ntal strength to manipulate external elents.
They constructed precise sorcery models, combining ntal strength with elents, amplifying energy through these models.
In terms of energy, wizards manipulated external elents at roughly a 1:1 ratio.
Their dominance in the multiverse stemd from their precise control and efficient energy use.
Through understanding world rules and accumulated knowledge, they multiplied the effect of elental forces manifold.
In simple terms, wizards turned one unit of force into ten, a thousand, or even millions.
Cultivation civilization was entirely different.
Cultivators used their own power to resonate with the world’s natural forces, harmonizing with external energies.
One unit of their force yielded only one unit of effect.
But that unit could resonate with hundreds or thousands of tis the world’s power, achieving the sa result!
Thus, cultivators excelled at resonating with and mobilizing external forces.
“This is my true edge!” Jie Ming slamd the table, his eyes blazing with unprecedented light.
The energy collection technology derived from the divine faith network enhanced transmission and conversion efficiency.
When paired with cultivation seals’ ability to mobilize external forces, it triggered an unexpected “chemical reaction”!
The cultivation seals amplified the artifact’s resonance with environntal energies, drawing them in more deeply.
The divine faith network’s conversion technology further boosted this, making the energy absorption not only efficient but “aggressive,” plundering even from occupied energy structures.
This wasn’t just a technical breakthrough—it was the most brilliant spark of two civilizations colliding within Jie Ming!
He finally understood why his runic artifact’s effect was so extraordinary.
If a first-level wizard could amplify one unit of elental force tenfold, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator could use one unit to draw ten units of external power.
Jie Ming’s runic artifact combined both strengths, drawing ten units of external power with one unit of force, then amplifying each unit tenfold!
