Chapter 441: Chapter 222: Density Difference and Bloody Battle

Above the Inner City of Chenxi City.

High in the sky, imperceptible to the naked eye of ordinary people, a massive fissure slowly tore open, and a tall tower emerged from within.

It was late at night. A silver disc of a moon hung high in the firmament, its light pouring down like water.

On the Stargazing Platform, Pei Ze gazed into the night, his eyes profound.

His trip to the Ancient Forest Plane had gone much more smoothly than he’d expected.

In just one day, he had successfully brought back the fey race.

He had also acquired a large batch of valuable and rare materials, securing the funds needed to build his Golem Legion.

’Once the Golem Legion is built, I can focus on my training.’

Pei Ze suddenly thought of the god-slaying operation.

’I wonder what the situation is like in the Dark Territory right now?’

After a moment’s thought, Pei Ze quickly pushed the matter to the back of his mind.

His teacher was there, after all. He just needed to focus on his training and wait for the god-slaying operation to begin.

...

Time flew.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

After processing the materials, Pei Ze made a grand gesture, using everything to procure the components needed to manufacture Thunder God Golems.

Over the course of the month, the number of Golems in his Wizard Tower’s Golem Legion had skyrocketed to seven hundred.

Battle Staging Area.

Looking at the dense rows of Thunder God Golems before him, Pei Ze broke into a satisfied smile.

An ordinary Medium-sized Wizard Tower’s Golem Legion rarely exceeded one thousand units.

Furthermore, the vast majority of them were Vajra Golems. They had few, if any, Supreme Golems, to say nothing of a powerful combat force like the Thunder God Golems, whose fighting capabilities rivaled those of an Elemental Mage.

It was safe to say that if he sent out his Thunder God Golem Legion, it would have no problem wiping the floor with the Golem Legions of more than ten Medium-sized Wizard Towers combined.

After instructing Tower Spirit No. 1 to fully charge all the Thunder God Golems, Pei Ze went to the Meditation Room, sat down cross-legged, and summoned the Eye of Omniscience.

[Elementalization (Thunder): 30.05%]

[Elemental Origin: 30.05]

’The progress on my elementalization is still too slow.’

It had been just over a year and two months since he had advanced to become an Elemental Mage.

To push his elementalization progress to just over thirty percent in such a short time was, frankly, a speed that far surpassed other Level 4 Wizards.

If word got out, most Level 4 Wizards would be so shocked their jaws would hit the floor.

But Pei Ze was still not satisfied.

Even with the boost from the Element Pool, his daily training only increased his elementalization progress by 0.012%.

At that rate, it would take him nearly three months to increase his elementalization by a single percentage point.

While this speed would be unimaginably fast for other Level 4 Wizards, to Pei Ze—who had experienced rapid progress using Stone Monument Patterns, the Thunderstruck Wood Block, and Divine Blood—it was excruciatingly slow.

At this pace, it would take him at least sixteen years to push his elementalization to one hundred percent.

And that was the most optimistic scenario.

After all, it was common knowledge in Elemental Mage circles that once elementalization surpassed 80%, the difficulty of making further progress would skyrocket.

Pei Ze estimated that if he continued training conventionally, it would take him at least twenty years to have a chance at advancing to Level 5 Wizard.

Although twenty years was nothing to a Level 4 Wizard with a lifespan of two to three thousand years, he would, of course, be much happier if he could break through and advance sooner.

’I still need to find a way to speed up my elementalization progress.’

Pei Ze looked at the task list of the Eye of Omniscience.

Currently, there was only one task on the list: calculating the method for Wuyu’s evolution to the fifth level.

As his elementalization progress steadily increased, the cost of this task continued to decrease.

Coupled with the Elemental Origin he had invested into it during this period, the required Elemental Origin for the task had now been reduced to just over thirty-eight hundred units.

If he fully committed to accelerating it, it could be completed in a little over four months.

However, Pei Ze wasn’t in a hurry.

It was obvious that Wuyu’s evolution to the fifth level would consume a massive amount of resources—an astronomical expense, without a doubt.

He had just finished building his Wizard Tower and had nearly exhausted his entire fortune. Even if he successfully calculated the evolution method, he wouldn’t have the money to purchase the necessary materials.

That matter could be postponed.

For now, the priority was to increase his own strength as quickly as possible.

A glint appeared in Pei Ze’s eyes as he issued a command.

"Omniscience, calculate a method to accelerate my elementalization progress."

The Eye of Omniscience and Pei Ze’s soul were one and the same; its calculation and refinement abilities grew stronger as his own power increased.

And with Pei Ze’s advancement to Elemental Mage, the Eye of Omniscience had begun to show glimpses of its true, all-knowing nature.

Even in fields he knew nothing about, as long as he provided a specific direction and requirements, the Eye of Omniscience could deduce a solution.

Of course, the amount of Elemental Origin required for that would be unimaginably vast.

However, if it had corresponding knowledge or an object to reference, the cost would be drastically reduced.

Therefore, Pei Ze generally tried to choose the second method whenever possible.

Almost instantaneously, the Eye of Omniscience provided its feedback.

[Task created. Beginning calculation of a method to accelerate elementalization progress. Estimated requirement: 139,205 units of Elemental Origin.]

’As expected.’

Pei Ze sighed, not surprised.

The Wizard Civilization had existed for so many years, producing an endless stream of astonishingly brilliant geniuses. If there were truly a simple way to rapidly increase elementalization progress, it was impossible that he wouldn’t have heard even a whisper of it.

Clearly, no such method existed.

Rather, the fact that the Eye of Omniscience could calculate one at all was a testament to its power.

It’s just that the cost was far too high.

Nearly one hundred and forty thousand units of Elemental Origin would take roughly eleven or twelve years to accumulate.

’Too slow.’

’It seems I really do need to give it a specific direction or some relevant knowledge as a reference to reduce the cost.’
