Chapter 295:The Law of Gravity, the Most Critical Step
Chapter 295 - 295:The Law of Gravity, the Most Critical StepIn response to Lize's inquiry, Su Nan did not answer immediately but instead asked about the military expansion of the Star Alliance over the years.
In recent years, the Star Alliance's offensive against Blackstone Tower had slowed significantly, but there was no sign of relaxation in their military expansion.
After such a long time, the military strength of the Star Alliance had seen an astonishing increase.
Taking the report handed to him by Lize, Su Nan quickly flipped through it.
First was the golem legion, which had expanded to twenty-two army groups and was now in the process of establishing the twenty-third army group.
Next was the magic knight order.
Over the years, the Star Alliance had been purchasing magic constructs in large quantities from the City of All Things.
More than eighty percent of the magic constructs from the entire City of All Things had ended up in the pockets of the Star Alliance, causing the price of magic constructs there to rise by more than thirty percent.
The changes brought about by this were also quite significant.
With ample supplies of magic constructs, a large number of reserve members were able to be promoted to formal members, leading to a substantial increase in the number of formal members in the magic knight order.
Due to the sharp decrease in the number of reserve members, the Star Alliance simply removed the reserve members from the Brigade, retaining only the formal members.
Now, the Star Alliance had twelve Legions, which meant sixty Brigades and six hundred thousand formal members.
In addition, there were still over five hundred thousand reserve members, expected to gradually be equipped with magic constructs and promoted to formal members in the future.
In total, including both formal and reserve members, the magic knight order had over one hundred and ten thousand members.
This was already the upper limit for the Star Alliance at present.
The lifespan of a Magic Pattern Knight is limited; as new Magic Pattern Knights enter the army, older ones retire due to injury or age.
As time passes, these two factors will gradually reach a balance.
Ultimately, the total number of members in the magic knight order will stabilize around a certain number, fluctuating slightly.
Unless a war occurs, there will be no significant increase or decrease.
And this number limit depends on how many mainstream races the Star Alliance controls for human civilization's planes.
Currently, the Star Alliance only has two human planes: the Ulan dimension and the Starlight Continent. Having this number of Magic Pattern Knights is already the limit.
Regarding the Witch Hunter Legion, the number of Puppets had surpassed five thousand.
Including all Wizard Tower Internal Golem Legions, the current number of Wizard-level Puppets in the Star Alliance was nearing eight thousand.
Due to Su Nan being busy with his training, he had no time to modify Twilight Valley, so the upper limit of the wolf pack remained unchanged.
However, after more than three hundred years, the twilight wolf finally reached the upper limit of six hundred and two.
In terms of war constructs, due to the slowdown in offensives, the Star Alliance had captured very few wizard towers in recent years, mostly building their own.
Now, the number of wizard towers had grown to seventy-one, most of which had been reinforced.
Outside of the wizard towers, the numbers of star fortresses and the Flying Fleet had increased significantly.
The former had surpassed five hundred.
The latter had also surged to sixty-five.
This was mainly because the intensity of war had not been high in recent years, resulting in relatively low losses for war constructs, hence the noticeable increase.
However, what pleased Su Nan the most was the growth in the number of Wizards.
After more than three hundred years of operation and development, the population advantage of the Ulan dimension had been thoroughly tapped.
Currently, the total number of Wizards in the Star Alliance had reached one thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven.
Overall, compared to the time when they had just conquered the Manluo Plane and the Xige Plane, the military strength of the Star Alliance had more than doubled.
Excluding True Spirit Wizards, the current comprehensive strength of the Star Alliance was already sufficient to qualify as a second-tier Wizard force.
Once Su Nan advanced to True Spirit Wizard, he would immediately become a member of the second-tier Wizard forces.
"Not bad."
After reading the document, a satisfied smile appeared on Su Nan's face.
"Reply to the Wisdom Codex and tell them we agree to their request."
After developing for so long, it was time to show their fangs.
In any case, Su Nan had originally planned for the Star Alliance to launch a major offensive soon to capture the four planes of Blackstone Tower, and it was a perfect opportunity to demand some resources from the Wisdom Codex.
Lize asked, "What resources should we request from the Wisdom Codex? Magic constructs or materials?"
"Neither." Su Nan's eyes flickered, "We want a fruit of the law."
Lize was slightly taken aback, then quickly showed a look of realization.
Although the fruit of the law had the word "fruit" in its name, it was not a real fruit but a collective term for the crystallization of Law Power, primarily sourced from the Realm of Truth.
Under normal circumstances, Law Power was an abstract and elusive existence that could only be understood through feeling, not physically touched.
However, in the Realm of Truth, known as the holy land of laws, the dense Law Power could manifest as a physical entity under certain circumstances, allowing people to actually come into contact with it.
All manifested Law Power was uniformly referred to as the fruit of the law.
Most fruits of the law did not have specific attributes; any True Spirit Wizard or Level 3 Crystallization Wizard could absorb and transform them to enhance their understanding and control of the laws.
One could say that a fruit of the law could increase the probability of a Level 3 Crystallization Wizard advancing to True Spirit Wizard by one to two percent.
Although it seemed like only one to two percent, the average probability of a Level 3 Crystallization Wizard advancing to True Spirit Wizard was originally less than ten percent, and a fruit of the law could multiply that probability several times, highlighting its preciousness.
It was precisely because of its extreme rarity that the Wisdom Codex might not agree to this condition, and negotiations would be necessary to find out.
After handing the matter over to Lize, Su Nan returned to the top level of the wizard tower.
Having just broken through, he needed to stabilize his realm.
Before obtaining information about the gravity planes, it was just the right time to solidify his foundation.
"The fruit of the law?"
Upon hearing the conditions from the Star Alliance, Ronin was momentarily stunned, showing a look of astonishment.
Su Nan had broken through to Level 3 Crystallization?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Ronin instinctively wanted to dismiss it.
After all, as far as he knew, Su Nan had broken through to Level 3 Liquidation in less than four hundred years; it was simply unbelievable that he could break through again in such a short time!
Perhaps Su Nan had not actually broken through, and wanting the fruit of the law was merely a preparation for understanding the laws after a future breakthrough.
However, thinking of Su Nan's many astonishing performances to date, Ronin felt uncertain.
A prodigy like Su Nan was not something that could be measured by common sense.
With this thought, Ronin's mood became quite complex.
He never expected that he, who had always been recognized as a genius, would one day regard another young Wizard as a prodigy.
Ronin sighed.
First Meisha, and now Su Nan; there were indeed many prodigies in this world.
Shaking his head to dispel unnecessary thoughts, Ronin took out a crystal, pressed it to his forehead for a few seconds, then crushed the crystal, transforming it into a stream of light that vanished into the void.
About half an hour later, the stream of light returned and appeared out of nowhere, transforming into a large character in front of Ronin.
"Okay!" Seeing this, Ronin let out a breath and turned to his subordinate, saying, "Agree to the conditions of the Star Alliance, but they must conquer at least one plane within a hundred years."
"Yes, my lord!"
When the envoy from the Wisdom Codex arrived in Ulan City, Su Nan was no longer in the Ulan dimension.
As he had anticipated, the Star Alliance easily purchased information about several gravity planes from the three major merchant associations in the City of All Things.
As soon as the information was in hand, Su Nan set off for one of the planes.
"This is the Soul Plane?"
High in the sky, Su Nan floated in mid-air, surveying his surroundings.
As far as the eye could see, it was a desolate and bleak landscape.
The vast wilderness was filled with sand and jagged rocks, with not a single plant in sight, nor any trace of life; it was a scene of utter desolation.
"It seems this plane is extremely resource-poor. If it weren't, those people from the City of All Things wouldn't have so easily sold the information."
Su Nan didn't mind; he wasn't here for resources.
On the contrary, he was quite satisfied with another characteristic of the Soul Plane.
Upon entering the plane, he immediately felt an incredibly heavy pressure.
The terrifying gravity enveloped his entire body almost simultaneously.
This was not ordinary oppression; the pressure from gravity was all-encompassing, affecting every inch of flesh, every bone, and even every cell in a three-hundred-sixty-degree manner.
If one's strength was slightly lacking, one could be crushed into a pulp by the terrifying gravity in an instant! "The gravity here is probably over a hundred times that of the Starlight Continent."
"Creatures below the legendary knight level would probably perish in an instant upon entering here."
Su Nan clicked his tongue in amazement.
According to the information provided by the City of All Things, there were very few creatures in the Soul Plane, but the few that existed all had the formidable strength of a Wizard level.
It made sense; those who could adapt and survive in such an ultra-high gravity environment would certainly not be weak.
The information indicated the locations of these creatures, but Su Nan had no intention of making contact with them. He avoided those locations and began
Of course, the greater possibility was that they would struggle to take that crucial first step at all.
Even though he had personally experienced it, if asked to describe the process and experience of comprehending the laws, Su Nan still felt at a loss.
The previous experience felt like a dream; although his mind remembered it, he could not articulate it in words.
If he had to describe it, it would be abstract.
"No wonder over the years, no True Spirit Wizard has summarized the experience of comprehending the laws."
"It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't."
"Such matters can only be experienced personally; others cannot help much."
Su Nan shook his head and turned back into the house to continue his training.
For now, he had only taken the initial step in comprehending the laws; he needed to continue delving deeper until he truly mastered Law Power to advance to True Spirit Wizard.
