Chapter 489: Chapter 245: Promotion to Level 6 Wizard, Comprehension of the Rules

「Chenxi City.」

All-Knowing Wizard Tower, Stargazing Platform.

The void suddenly split open, and a slender figure stepped out.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, a flicker of emotion crossed Pei Ze’s face.

In the blink of an eye, he had already spent more than five years in the Abyss. Although he could contact the Wizard Tower through the Tower Spirit at any time, he still felt a sense of daze from being away for so long.

However, Pei Ze quickly composed himself and summoned the Eye of Omniscience.

[Soul Fusion: 100%]

[Elemental Origin: 50,000]

’After participating in the Blood War for so long, I’ve finally raised my Soul Fusion to one hundred percent.’

A faint smile appeared on Pei Ze’s face.

’Next, I just need to convert the Elemental Origin into Soul Power, and I’ll be able to break through to the sixth level.’

’After the breakthrough, I’ll go back to the Abyss.’

When Pei Ze had left, the Blood War had shown no signs of ending.

Demons and devils were still locked in a fierce battle on the first layer of Hell. All of Avernus had turned into a meat-grinder of a battlefield where tens of thousands of Evil Demons died every day, only to be replaced by even more newborns joining the fray.

The war seemed endless, as if it would continue forever.

However, this was clearly good news for Pei Ze.

With a flash of light, Pei Ze vanished. When he reappeared, he was in the Meditation Room.

He extended his index finger and tapped the black bracelet on his right wrist.

The bracelet instantly shattered into a black mist, which then condensed into the form of a crow.

Compared to when he first entered the Abyss, Wuyu’s body was now even more profoundly black, like a small black hole. Just looking at it gave one the illusion that their body and soul would be devoured.

Moreover, it exuded an aura of death that was almost palpable.

This was a sign of a massive surge in power over a short period, resulting in an inability to control it with precision.

Over the past six months, Wuyu had absorbed large amounts of purified Death God’s Blood and other precious materials. It had long since reached Level 5 Peak and was just a single step away from the sixth level.

If Pei Ze hadn’t been worried that such a sudden, massive power increase might cause a backlash for Wuyu, it would have broken through to the sixth level even faster than him.

’It is the Death God’s Blood of a chief god, after all. The effect is much stronger than that of a Middle-tier Deity.’

Pei Ze stroked Wuyu’s head.

"Go on, get some fresh air outside."

’I’m about to break through. Wuyu can’t stay by my side with its power overflowing like this, or it could lead to unpredictable consequences.’

"Caw."

Wuyu gave a low caw and obediently flew out of the Meditation Room.

The room quickly fell silent again.

Pei Ze took a deep breath, took out a Danish Forest Crystal Stone, and held it in his palm. He then closed his eyes and began his breakthrough.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the Elemental Fire, which had already turned completely silver, suddenly surged and began to burn fiercely.

The Elemental Origin surrounding the Elemental Fire instantly began to roil violently, like hot oil splashed with water.

An extremely faint silver light emerged from the edges, spreading slowly but surely, gradually tinting the incandescently white Elemental Origin with threads of silver.

At the same time, the Danish Forest Crystal Stone held in Pei Ze’s palm rapidly faded in color, quickly turning grayish-white before finally shattering.

All the energy contained within the Crystal Stone was drained in an instant, merging into the Elemental Origin.

In the next moment, the violently roiling Elemental Origin quickly stabilized.

Like a rising sun spreading its morning light across a calm sea, the incandescently white Elemental Origin was gradually dyed with more silver.

Time passed, second by second, as more and more of the Elemental Origin was converted into Soul Power.

After an unknown amount of time, the Elemental Origin turned completely silver. The entire Sea of Consciousness trembled violently. The Elemental Fire suddenly burst apart, driving the Soul Power into a torrential flood that surged throughout his body.

By the time the flood subsided, the Sea of Consciousness was completely empty. Even the Power of Rules had vanished without a trace, returning to its most primordial state.

In the Meditation Room, Pei Ze opened his eyes, a slight smile on his face.

The breakthrough was a success.

He was now a Sixth-level Wizard.

’What a strange feeling.’

’My current self, both body and soul, inside and out, no longer has any connection to being human.’

’If I had to describe it, I guess I would be a creature made entirely of Soul Power?’

A contemplative light gleamed in Pei Ze’s eyes.

"Tower Spirit 1, how much time has passed since I began my breakthrough?" ℯℯ𝘭.

[105 days, 19 hours, 23 minutes]

"It’s been over three months? That long?"

Pei Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This breakthrough took quite a while.

But in any case, a successful advancement was a good thing.

’After the sixth level comes comprehending the rules.’

In terms of biological energy alone, a Sixth-level Wizard already stood at the pinnacle of all living beings.

To advance further, one could only master the rules and, like a Divine Spirit, become a part of the Multiverse’s origin, achieving immortality.

Therefore, the process of breaking through from the sixth to the seventh level was, in fact, the process of comprehending and mastering the rules.

And the vast majority of Sixth-level Wizards comprehended their corresponding Rule of Elements.

For example, a Wizard who achieved their rank through fire elementalization would typically comprehend the Rule of Flame after advancing to a Sixth-level Wizard.

This was because a Wizard who advanced through fire elementalization already had a certain understanding of fire, making it easier for them to comprehend the Rule of Flame.

By the same token, it would be easier for Pei Ze to break through by comprehending the Rule of Lightning.

"Omniscience, digitize my comprehension of the Rule of Lightning."

The Eye of Omniscience quickly gave its feedback.

[Rule of Lightning: 16.28%]

Pei Ze nodded to himself.

Generally speaking, a newly advanced Sixth-level Wizard’s comprehension of their corresponding elemental rule was less than five percent.

Yet his was over fifteen percent.
