When Jie Ming’s communication with Master Erwin ended, and he had repaid the hefty knowledge loan for the current phase, the transformation of the Elosia Plane’s remnants in his territory finally reached its final stage.
These remnants, who had endured great hardships, underwent over twenty years of multiple rounds of bloodline optimization and soul reshaping led by Noren Academy’s professional team. They had been completely reborn.
Not only had they adapted to the laws of the wizarding world, but they also gained the foundational potential to beco wizard apprentices.
Jie Ming notified Noren Academy, and they sent a final team to conduct thorough inspections and evaluations of all the transford remnants.
Once everything was confird, the academy’s transport ships descended outside the Golden Garden, thodically taking away the remnants, now registered as “academy assets.”
With these “historical issues” resolved, Jie Ming left a ssage for David to update him, finally putting one matter to rest.
To fill the labor gap left by their departure, he purchased a large number of new-model alchemical Construct Puppets from the Noren Workshop.
These tireless tallic creations took over the tedious tasks of maintaining the Golden Garden that the remnants had once handled.
After tying up these loose ends, Jie Ming recalled Senior Viola from the Flafrost Plane. Despite her abrasive personality, she had helped him considerably.
Thinking of her request before he left and the likelihood that she was still slaving away as ntor Clark’s “workhorse,” Jie Ming bought a batch of highly effective alertness potions and sent them to the Flafrost Plane as a gesture of “condolence.”
With all these miscellaneous tasks finally handled, Jie Ming let out a long sigh of relief.
Now, he could finally focus on the most unique and valuable spoils he had gained from the Flafrost Plane!
In the Elosia Plane Cluster, within the plane nad Infernal Sulfur, Jie Ming hovered in midair, gazing at the massive magma pool surging with crimson light. He shook his head, dissatisfied.
This vast expanse, more akin to a “magma sea” than a re pool, was the result of Jie Ming forcibly gathering most of the plane’s active ley lines using the infrastructure he had built here.
But comparisons revealed disparities.
The Blazing Sun Realm in the Flafrost Plane appeared similar to this Infernal Sulfur plane, both seas of fire, but their energy reserves were on entirely different levels.
Jie Ming had spent months painstakingly creating this magma sea in the target area.
Yet, after probing, he found that the energy intensity at its core barely matched the smaller ley lines of the Flafrost Plane.
“Forget it. This level of energy is just enough to support the basic operations of the incubation pool. I’ll wait for the academy’s seventh-tier elental pool to be set up before further modifications,” Jie Ming sighed.
From his personal storage space, he retrieved his most unique spoil from the Flafrost Plane—the Second-Tier Incubation Pool of the Lava Giant clan!
After years of study, Jie Ming had roughly grasped its operating principles.
The Lava Giants’ incubation pool incorporated a unique technology, likely derived from their innate talents, allowing it to connect directly to a projection of the Fire Elental Plane to draw energy.
This explained the faint spatial interference around the pool.
Looking at the incubation pool floating before him, Jie Ming’s expression was complex. “If it weren’t for this thing, I wouldn’t have had to fight that third-tier Lava Giant to the death…”
“But on second thought, getting this just by fighting two third-tier Lava Giants? That’s pretty lucky, isn’t it?”
Shaking his head, Jie Ming dismissed those thoughts and brought the incubation pool to the energy convergence zone of the magma sea.
The pool’s ability to connect to the Fire Elental Plane’s projection ant that external energy was primarily used as a “switch” to activate and guide the pool’s energy.
Once operational, the pool relied mostly on its link to the elental plane for energy.
However, without external energy supplentation, its incubation efficiency would plumt, and further evolution would be impossible.
For now, Jie Ming had no better options and had to make do.
As a “switch,” the magma pool only needed stable energy and a peak output sufficient to activate the incubation pool.
After securely installing the massive pool at the center of the magma sea, Jie Ming took out a vibrant Lava Giant core, pulsing like a heart with powerful fire elental fluctuations.
This was the core he had “picked up” from the fourth-tier Lava Giant corpse in the Snow Monster city!
Originally, the core had lost all vitality due to the giant’s death.
However, after the Lava Giant King surrendered and joined the wizarding faction, the wizards gained access to several exclusive technologies from them.
Among them was a technique to reactivate well-preserved high-tier cores.
The core in Jie Ming’s hand had been partially reactivated by professionals in the Flafrost Plane, at the cost of a hefty sum of military rits.
Jie Ming couldn’t help but marvel, “In a way, elental beings have far greater vitality than most flesh-and-blood creatures.”
Though this core’s vitality wasn’t enough to fully resurrect the fourth-tier Lava Giant, its vast life essence was sufficient to serve as a “template” for incubating new Lava Giants in the pool!
Using Alchemy Technique, Jie Ming carefully extracted a grain-sized fragnt from the fourth-tier core.
As the fragnt’s light began to destabilize, he swiftly tossed it into the slowly activating incubation pool.
Over the next two months, Jie Ming stayed in the Infernal Sulfur plane, ticulously recording the entire process of the core fragnt gestating a new Lava Giant.
During this ti, he gathered a wealth of invaluable data on elental being gestation.
Jie Ming’s luck held, and the newly incubated Lava Giant, fully mature after two months, reached a solid second-tier strength.
Among the Lava Giant clan, it was already considered a minor elite.
“Roar!”
The ten-ter-tall second-tier Lava Giant let out a savage bellow upon its birth.
Before it could display its power, an invisible hand of pure ntal energy casually suppressed it, lifting it from the pool and restraining it in midair.
Using the All-Purpose Eye and Alchemy Technique, Jie Ming carefully examined this perfect elental creation, his eyes lost in thought.
The old Jie Ming would have considered a stably producible second-tier Lava Giant a decent asset, a considerable force.
But now, he found their strength… lacking.
Even third-tier Lava Giants posed little threat to him now.
Unless he could produce them in the hundreds or thousands, their contribution to his combat power was limited.
He needed to find a way to enhance the individual combat strength of these Lava Giants!
His first thought was biochemical modification.
But after careful analysis, he abandoned the idea.
Biochemical modification depended on the base quality of the “raw materials.”
Using several second-tier Lava Giants as material, he could, at best, create units with early third-tier combat strength.
The input-to-output ratio wasn’t worth it.
True, with this fourth-tier core as a “template,” he could reliably produce large numbers of second-tier and a few third-tier Lava Giants.
But the core was a non-replicable consumable!
Unless he got extraordinarily lucky and a newborn Lava Giant underwent a miraculous mutation to form a new fourth-tier core, once this core’s essence was depleted, he’d have to use third-tier cores as templates.
At that point, the production of second-tier Lava Giants would plumt, and most newborns would degrade to first-tier.
High-tier wizards with vast resources wouldn’t face such issues.
They could release the Lava Giants into an entire fire-based plane suited for their reproduction, letting them multiply freely.
With luck and a large enough base population, they’d eventually produce more fourth-tier, or even fifth-tier, Lava Giants.
But Jie Ming lacked the resources to sustain an entire plane of elental beings.
So, he turned to another approach.
His second idea was still biochemical modification.
But unlike before, where he treated the Lava Giants as re “raw materials” or “biological weapons,” he now aid to fundantally elevate the biological essence of the Lava Giant race—from their genes to their souls!
