Chapter 317: Chapter 318: New World

"With an unstable foundation, you’ve indeed become a Morning Star Wizard at a pace several, even dozens of times faster than ordinary people. But what comes after?"

"You’ll have to spend immense effort and a massive amount of resources to correct your foundation, bit by bit."

"Each time you correct your foundation, the time required will be extremely long."

"This way, the time advantage you gained early on will be completely consumed during this process of repeatedly correcting your foundation."

The Dean looked at Andre, his eyes filled with helplessness.

The Cosmic Sea World had just been promoted to a Level 5 World. Many of its rare minerals and Magic Plants had not yet been nurtured. It was simply impossible to build a three-dimensional Witchcraft Array.

Did he not know this?

It was precisely because he knew this that he had decided to have Andre stay in the Cosmic Sea World to build the Cosmic Sea branch from the ground up.

Once Andre accepted the task of building the branch, he would have to wait in the Cosmic Sea World, wait for the resources needed to build the Witchcraft Array to be nurtured by the world.

During this process, Andre wouldn’t just be sitting around doing nothing, would he?

He could read books, concoct some Potions, forge a few Witchcraft Artifacts, and research Witchcraft.

Through such a process, Andre’s foundation would be solidified by time until it was unshakable.

Besides, Andre had already cleared the path to becoming a Morning Star Great Wizard.

Once his foundation was stable, Andre could break through to become a Morning Star Great Wizard at almost any time.

This was his plan. In the Dean’s view, the future of the White Sea Wizard Academy—whether it could return to the Wizard Ancestral Land and fight in the War of Tower Names—would very likely rest on Andre’s shoulders.

It concerned the War of Tower Names, the development of the White Sea Wizard Academy, and his own future.

He couldn’t let Andre continue to aggressively advance his Realm like this.

After hearing the Dean’s words, a wry smile appeared on Andre’s lips.

It was no longer him actively trying to advance his Realm; it was the Chaos Magic Power within his body that was ceaselessly and spontaneously raising it for him.

As the Chaos Magic Power cycled endlessly between creation and destruction, his Realm began to rise on its own, without him needing to do anything.

On the contrary, he had to travel to other worlds and experience their different environments, their different Laws and Rules, to slow down the speed of his Realm’s advancement and further enhance the essence of his Chaos Magic Power.

As everyone knows, enhancing the essence of any kind of Power is an incredibly difficult thing to do.

Once the essence of his Chaos Magic Power was enhanced, he would need more Magic Power and other forms of Power to convert into Chaos Magic Power.

Initially, the amount of Chaos Magic Power in his body would also decrease as its essence was enhanced.

From this perspective, the speed of his Realm’s advancement would gradually slow down.

Conversely, if he stayed in the Cosmic Sea World, he would constantly be the focus of the world’s consciousness.

Right now, he didn’t even need to actively absorb Magic Power from the Cosmic Sea World; the Magic Power was drilling into his body on its own, like sharks drawn to the scent of blood.

At this rate, even if he did nothing at all, in about 50 years he would reach the threshold of a Level 3 Wizard.

At that time, even if he didn’t want to break through, the Chaos Magic Power in his body would force the breakthrough. ℴℴ𝘮

"Dean, I really can’t stay in the Cosmic Sea World."

Andre shuddered helplessly, and streams of gray mist instantly billowed out from his body, enveloping him completely.

The Dean and the Captain watched Andre’s actions, not quite understanding what he was trying to show them.

But then, their eyes widened, and their pupils contracted to pinpricks.

At this moment, in the perception of the Dean and the Captain, the surface of the gray mist covering Andre was actually composed of countless, minuscule vortexes.

Now, these vortexes were continuously absorbing the Magic Power of the Cosmic Sea World.

"Right now, the Power born from my own path is constantly absorbing the Magic Power of the Cosmic Sea World. I don’t need to do anything myself, and my Realm rises on its own."

"I need to go to other worlds and use the suppression from other world-consciousnesses to slow down the absorption of Magic Power, thereby suppressing my own Realm’s advancement."

After Andre finished speaking, the gray mist slowly receded back into his body.

Andre’s face was full of helplessness.

"Hiss... Is a path like this Devouring? Or is it Parasitism?"

Seeing the difficulty Andre was facing, the Dean released his grip and frowned at him.

"It’s neither!" Andre said helplessly to the Dean.

He wanted to tell the Dean about the path he was walking.

But Red-haired Klein had repeatedly warned him against revealing his path before reaching the Morning Star Realm, so Andre’s hands were tied.

"It seems this ’Honorary Vice Dean’ title of yours can only be an honorary position in name only."

The Dean looked at Andre, a wry smile appearing on his lips.

He had originally wanted Andre to settle down in the Cosmic Sea World and solidify his foundation.

But as it turned out, if Andre were to settle down in the Cosmic Sea World, his own Realm would instead advance even faster.

Such a thing, from the appearance of the very first Wizards to the present day, was a special Ability rarely seen outside of a few extremely unique paths.

That was why he had mentioned paths like Devouring and Parasitism, which possessed similar abilities.

But Andre had denied that his path was any of those he suggested, which made the Dean extremely curious. Just what path was Andre walking?

"If you really want to know, you can ask my Wizard Ancestor."

"My Wizard Ancestor has a clone in the Multi-Body World, looking after my two senior apprentice-siblings and modifying their Ladders of Truth."

Andre said helplessly, looking at the very curious Dean.

"Contact your Wizard Ancestor? Alright, I will. But right now, there are very few worlds in this World Group suitable for you."

"For now, you’ll still have to wait here in the Cosmic Sea World."

When the Dean heard Andre mention Klein, he realized the order forbidding Andre from revealing his path must have come from Kron.

"Right now, in this World Group, according to our previous discoveries, there are a total of six Level 5 Worlds, and one Level 6 World."

"But that Level 6 World is far too dangerous, and it’s not suitable for you to go there now."

The Dean frowned, beginning to arrange Andre’s next destination.

But just as the Dean finished speaking, the portal behind Andre suddenly generated a massive suction force, pulling him straight in.

Then, the Morning Sky, which had been cruising in the sky, was also sucked in by this force.
