How to use the Philosopherâs Stone?
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
After consuming some high-energy food, Green, much like the Mountain Savage Strongman, chewed on a small piece of the Philosopherâs Stone, swallowed it, and then squinted his eyes, quietly feeling the effect of the reduced time for passive evolution that the Philosopherâs Stone brought to his body.
After a short span of an Hourglassâs time.
"Hmm, the effect is quite astonishing."
Green felt that the passive evolution effect within such a short time was nearly equivalent to several months of passive evolution, reduced by hundreds of times!
And this is just regarding passive evolution alone. Considering the double evolution from Greenâs Male Poison Body Refining and the Ancient Giant Chi Demonâs amplification of internal sorcery instrument gestation, the combined effect practically equates to Green reducing the time by over a thousand times!
"Try this."
Xiao Ba brought over a seedling, a frequently seen carnivorous ferocious plant guard in Space Fortress, known for its loyalty, being an extension of the Wizardâs Will, the most faithful sentinel in the Space Fortress.
After Green nodded, he took out a grain-like Philosopherâs Stone and shot it into the stem of the seedling, watching intently with the Three-Colored Light Eyes under the Face of Truth.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the seedling quickly developed, yet only after a dozen breathsâ time, the seedling doubled in height, its leaves started to yellow, wilt, and fall, the entire process smooth, yet not due to reaching growth limitations followed by demise.
"Dead?"
Xiao Ba gently touched the plantâs withered stem, which dispersed like ash.
"Wow, what was the cause of death, Green Beast, you ate quite a lot, didnât you?"
At the center of Greenâs forehead under the Face of Truth, the Eye of the World was enhanced with the Bio-Mechanical Microscopic Eye and Life Probing Eye, conducting the most meticulous observations in True Time, yet at this moment, there was no unusual expression regarding the death of this plant.
"This life formâs level was too low; during its growth, the energy supplementation speed was far inferior to the growth speed. For a life form like me, even if consuming ten thousand times the Philosopherâs Stone at once, as long as food energy supply is sufficient, everything is not an issue."
Saying this, Green surprisingly took out another piece of the Philosopherâs Stone, putting it into his mouth, crunching it like a candy bean, swallowing it, and then consuming a high-quality energy liquid without a change in expression.
"Even without high-level energy food, the Source of Oblivion can substitute, but itâs slightly troublesome, lacking the enjoyment process."
Following, Green started experimenting, using the Philosopherâs Stone to refine Alchemy Marrow of the Alien, rare alloy, low-level skeleton upgrading to high-level skeleton, surprisingly succeeding!
However, the cost was quite substantial.
Using hundreds of grams of the Philosopherâs Stone, barely refining a trace of Alchemy Marrow of the Alien, Green abandoned the idea in this regard. Compared to the time saved in civilization war through Body Refinement passive evolution, supplemented by Male Poison Body Refining and Ancient Giant Chi Demonâs sorcery instrument tempering enhancement, at this phase, Green found no better use of the Philosopherâs Stone.
A series of urgent experiments were completed in just over a dozen days, due to temporarily not obtaining more Philosopherâs Stones for experimental research, and not finding better utilization methods, Green finally decided to use the remaining Philosopherâs Stone to shorten passive evolution time.
"Ka ka ka, so thatâs how it is, seems like the Wizard World is intentionally cultivating you guys, after all, these Philosopherâs Stones have considerable use for True Spirit Wizards as well."
Xiao Ba held his chin with his wing, appearing to be in thought.
"Let Master Eight speculate for you, looks like itâs like this, these Philosopherâs Stone rewards are open only to elites among Sixth-Level Stigmata Wizards and Fifth-Level Stigmata Wizards, aimed to produce a few True Spirits in the civilization war, so Green Beast, youâve already been listed as potential True Spirit Wizard candidates by those old folks in Wizard World?"
Green glanced at Xiao Ba, then slowly nodded.
"Highly possible."
"Oh yeah! Waga ga, Master Eight knew it, you wouldnât let me down, worthy of being my strongest Green Beast, Master Eight seems to have seen the day I stand at the peak of Wizard World! Oh yeah, olala, waga ga..."
Ignoring this fellow already fallen into self-delirium, from the first time met after advancing to a wizard, this guy never acted normal, let it live in its dream.
After storing the experimental items safely, Green left the Space Fortress Stigmata Hall.
The Space Fortress had been uniformly governed by Mechanical Wizards, Greenâs current task with the penal squad belonging to True Spirit Wizardâs special missions, carrying only a few followers from Shadowspy Star Meteor-Fall Third Grade Great Sorcerer, this Space Fortress was Greenâs detour, bringing war resources to the front line.
One wizard after another, one squad after another, upon seeing Green, paused briefly, respectfully saluting, extending heartfelt reverence, as there were too many low-grade wizards here, even ignoring all along made Green feel weary, once flying a while, Green started fully sealing his aura, the situation then improved.
Flying silently over several hundred-meter tall metal walls, Green arrived at the site of a colossal metal robot wreck.
Tens of thousands of Mechanical Wizards surrounded this metal robotâs wreckage, busy conducting some kind of research; Green had already discovered these extraordinary robots upon arriving at the base.
Disregarding these Mechanical Wizards, Green went straight towards the giant metal robotâs wreckage.
"These strange radiation sources..."
With the Face of Truth, Green could discern things invisible to ordinary people. At this moment, these robotsâ wrecks likewise produced a similar Endless World source rune effect akin to the Philosopherâs Stone, only visible to Green through the Eye of the World, an insight into the Endless Dominatorsâ perspective of Endless Worldâs fundamental rules, composed of basic runes forming the worldâs canvas paper.
"Hmm... could it be that the reason the Metal Destroyer civilization failed to grasp the transcendent Mysterious Power beyond Endless World, is because Skynet was pursuing complete analysis of Endless World, rather than the omnipotent high-dimensional beings sought by Wizards?"
Vaguely, Green seemed to see the essential strength pursued by this civilization!
Pursuing essential strength, is the direction guiding the biological groupâs development for civilization tribes, a systematic framework explanation for the groupâs all powers.
No matter Elemental Wizard, Mechanical Wizard, Dark Sorcerer, Nightmare Wizard, or even Abyss Refining Body Sorcerer, what everyone pursued was speculation about more advanced dimensional beings. In Wizardsâ knowledge system, regardless of the bio-groupâs powerful development within Endless World, as long as a person masters high-dimensional powers in Wizard World, they could overturn the Endless World!
Therefore, from the moment the ancestor of humans created Wizards, all Wizards have been striving for this goal.
Biological groups, no matter how they develop, often only control a few world clusters at the end of myriad cycles, dissolving into the historical stream, even True Spirit Wizards touring Endless World discovered countless civilizations vanishing, Xiahe civilization being just one among them.
Antonioâs ambitious phrase "If given endless knowledge, using myself as leverage, to pry open Endless World," is based on this, hence Wizard World never aimed to publicly open the Holy Tower Book, try to obtain more lower-tier combat strength, reducing the preciousness of knowledge.
As if touching something vaguely, Green was about to enter the giant metal robot, but was stopped by a guard wizard.
"Sorry, samples collection research is underway here, unrelated personnel are prohibited from entering."
Green looked up at the wizard standing in mid-air, slightly released a trace of Stigmata Wizardâs fluctuation, immediately causing the wizardâs expression to change drastically, hurriedly landed with a salute, escorting Green step by step into the giant robotâs cabin.
"Hmm? Why does the setup structure here resemble a Space Airship?"
Greenâs inquiry caused the Mechanical Wizard behind to be stunned, shortly thinking of something, murmured, "Master has just arrived in the Radiated World, right?"
"Yes."
After hearing Greenâs affirmation, the Mechanical Wizard sighed, "Because this robot was originally a Space Airship. However, due to radiation from the Metal Fire Seed, it became a metallic slave of the dreadful Metal Destroyer Skynet Avatar!"
