The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 319:Law Node

A smiling face is hard to strike, and facing the goodwill of Morik and Ortiz, Su Nan responded with a smile as well.

"Lord Su Nan, this is your first time in the Realm of Truth, right? If you ever need any help in the future, feel free to reach out to me. We are, after all, comrades on the same front."

Morik expressed his active goodwill.

Not to be outdone, Ortiz smiled and said, "In the Realm of Truth, having more friends means more support."

"I will, thank you." Su Nan graciously accepted their kindness.

Meisha laughed, "Don't wait for the future. There's something I need your help with right now."

"I've been away from the Realm of Truth for over a hundred years. Has anything noteworthy happened during that time?"

In the outside world, a hundred years is but a fleeting moment for a True Spirit Wizard.

But in the Realm of Truth, where conflicts are frequent and competition is fierce, a hundred years is enough for many things to happen.

"If we're talking about noteworthy events, there is indeed one."

Morik and Ortiz exchanged glances and said, "Let's not stand here. Let's find a place to sit and talk."

Meisha nodded, "Let's go to my place."

As soon as she finished speaking, a wave of energy enveloped the four of them.

Advanced Teleportation Spell!

Recognizing the spell Meisha had cast, Su Nan and the other two did not resist, allowing the spatial force to pull them away. When they reappeared, they were in a spacious and bright living room.

The living room was simply decorated, with only a few sofas and a coffee table.

However, no one paid much attention to this, and they all sat down.

"Before we get into it," Ortiz looked at Su Nan and spoke first, "How much does Lord Su Nan know about the Realm of Truth?"

"Only some basic information," Su Nan admitted frankly that his knowledge of the Realm of Truth was superficial.

"Let me explain."

Meisha took over the conversation. She had originally planned to inform Su Nan about the situation here after entering the Realm of Truth.

"The most special thing about the Realm of Truth is that the strength of its laws far exceeds that of ordinary planes, and it's not just one or a few laws, but all kinds of laws."

"You must have felt it, right?" Meisha cast an inquiring glance at Su Nan.

Su Nan nodded slightly.

The moment he entered the Realm of Truth, he had already noticed this.

Under normal circumstances, a True Spirit Wizard must first contact the plane's origin with their true spirit to extract Law Power.

Even in the Fallen Spirit Plane, where the Law of Gravity is stronger, this process is unavoidable.

But in the Realm of Truth, Su Nan found that he didn't need to contact the plane's origin to extract Law Power.

Law Power filled every inch of the surrounding void like energy particles, allowing him to touch and manipulate it freely.

In such an environment, it's easy to imagine that the efficiency of comprehending laws would skyrocket! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"It's precisely because of the special environment of the Realm of Truth that the efficiency of comprehending laws here is several times higher than in the outside world!"

"However, at the same time, this environment also places a significant burden on our true spirits. So unless we discover a Law Node, it's best to leave the Realm of Truth every hundred years or so to adjust."

Su Nan's eyes flickered, "Law Node?"

"This is the crucial information I was about to share next," Meisha smiled slightly. "Apart from the overall environment that enhances the efficiency of comprehending laws, there are also some special nodes in the Realm of Truth that can further boost this efficiency, roughly by more than ten times."

Su Nan's eyes immediately lit up.

A tenfold increase in comprehension efficiency!

That's quite astonishing!

"Most Law Nodes appear randomly, and their duration is also irregular, ranging from over a hundred years to as short as twenty or thirty years."

"But there are also a very few Law Nodes that can exist permanently. These are called Permanent Law Nodes, as opposed to Temporary Law Nodes."

"However, most of the known Permanent Law Nodes are already claimed."

As she spoke, Meisha's hand swept through the void, and numerous green light lines appeared, intertwining to form a giant tree.

It was the same giant tree made of a starry river that Su Nan had seen before.

But now, the branches of the tree's shadow were no longer adorned with starry fruits but with egg-sized light spots, about twenty or so in number.

"This is a map of the Realm of Truth. Those light spots are the currently known Permanent Law Nodes."

Meisha waved her hand again, and the map changed. Two irregular, twisted lines appeared, dividing the map into three parts.

The left and right sides each occupied about two-fifths of the area, while the middle region took up roughly one-fifth.

It's worth noting that those twenty-plus Law Nodes were all distributed in the left and right regions.

"After years of war, we Wizards and the gods have basically divided all the Permanent Law Nodes and formed roughly fixed territories."

"That's the region occupied by the gods," Meisha pointed to the left area.

As for the right side, it was naturally the Wizards' territory.

From the map alone, the territories occupied by the gods and the Wizards were roughly equal in size, and the number of Permanent Law Nodes was also similar.

The Wizard realm only had two more than the gods, giving them a slight advantage.

"Whether it's us Wizards or the gods, we have a high level of control over our own territories. So under normal circumstances, we don't venture deep into each other's territories to avoid being surrounded."

"So our usual area of activity is this buffer zone in the middle. Searching for Temporary Law Nodes is also generally done in this area."

"The same goes for the gods."

Meisha spoke in detail, and Su Nan listened attentively.

In short, the left and right regions are the strongholds of the Wizards and the gods, respectively. Neither side would easily set foot in the other's stronghold.

And the middle region is the battlefield.

It's the battlefield where both sides fight and kill over Temporary Law Nodes! "In addition, there are some dangerous places in the Realm of Truth where the laws are chaotic. Unless necessary, it's best not to approach those areas."

Meisha waved her hand, and more than a dozen red skulls appeared on the map's shadow, scattered across various locations.

"Chaotic laws..."

Su Nan's gaze slightly narrowed.

Laws are the most primitive essence that constitutes a plane.

The prerequisite for a plane to accommodate living beings is the stable operation of its laws.

If any law falls into chaos, it would have a huge impact on the entire plane.

Take the Fallen Spirit Plane, for example. Just because the Law of Gravity is more prominent, the entire plane has become a high-gravity environment where ordinary creatures cannot survive.

And that's just a case of a law being more prominent, not chaotic.

The latter would bring even worse effects!

A plane with chaotic laws is something even True Spirit Wizards dare not set foot in lightly.

Who knows what disasters might occur there? At this point, Meisha turned to Morik and said, "The map I have hasn't been updated in over a hundred years. Most of the Temporary Law Nodes are probably outdated. Do you have the latest map?"

Morik nodded, flicking a point of light into the void's shadow. Instantly, the map changed again, with many silver light spots the size of longan eyes appearing.

"These are the latest discovered Temporary Law Nodes."

"Generally, within a thousand kilometers of a Temporary Law Node, there won't be another Temporary Law Node. So if there's already a Temporary Law Node marked on the map, you don't need to explore the surrounding area."

Su Nan nodded in understanding.

This saved him a lot of trouble. He could focus on exploring areas without Temporary Law Nodes, avoiding aimless wandering.

As for those Temporary Law Nodes, it goes without saying that the ones already discovered are likely claimed.

If he had any ideas about them, he would have to fight for them first.

On the other hand, although Meisha and the other two didn't explicitly say who controlled the Permanent Law Nodes in the Wizard territories, Su Nan could guess that it was probably those large Wizard factions.

Under the explanations of Meisha and the other two, Su Nan finally gained a general understanding of the situation in the Realm of Truth.

After that, Morik and Ortiz began to talk about recent events.

"Not long ago, a few True Spirit Wizards discovered a Temporary Law Node in the southwest of the buffer zone. But shortly after they occupied it, a god came to contest the Law Node. After a fierce battle, one of the three True Spirit Wizards died, and the other two were injured."

Meisha was visibly shocked, "To achieve such a result against three opponents, was it a mid-level god?"

"Exactly," Morik sighed. "The three True Spirit Wizards who fought were all fourth-level Wizards, not weak by any means. But they happened to encounter a mid-level god, which was just bad luck."

Meisha's expression turned serious.

In the Realm of Truth, the most numerous are fourth-level Wizards and low-level gods.

Fifth-level Wizards and mid-level gods are extremely rare.

With sixth-level Wizards and high-level gods staying in their Permanent Law Nodes and not emerging, fifth-level Wizards and mid-level gods are essentially the pinnacle of power in the Realm of Truth.

For fourth-level True Spirit Wizards like them, encountering a mid-level god in the buffer zone would mean turning tail and running immediately.

"Even for a mid-level god, to kill a fourth-level Wizard while fighting three opponents is quite impressive. Such strength would rank in the upper-middle tier among mid-level gods."

Meisha pursed her lips and asked, "Which god was it?"

Morik solemnly replied, "Firemane King."

At the mention of this name, Meisha's expression immediately turned grave.

Su Nan also raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He had heard of Firemane King's reputation.

This god also had the nickname King of Beasts.

His Divine Authority was over fire and beasts.

This made him equivalent to a True Spirit Wizard who had mastered dual laws, and he was among the best.

Moreover, he was a combat-oriented god, known for his ferocity in battle.

Thus, even though he was only a mid-level god, his combat power was extremely formidable.

Even some veteran fifth-level Wizards were reluctant to face Firemane King head-on.

"If it's Firemane King, no wonder."

Meisha sighed softly.

"Who was the True Spirit Wizard who died?"

"Zorn Mason from Savage Spirit," Ortiz shrugged. "They suffered quite a loss this time."

Any True Spirit Wizard is a valuable asset to a Wizard faction.

Even the loss of one is a huge blow to any Wizard faction.

Especially for factions like Star Alliance, which only have one True Spirit Wizard. If that True Spirit Wizard dies, the entire faction could collapse.

Even for a large faction like Savage Spirit, losing a True Spirit Wizard is a significant blow.

"In any case, when exploring outside, it's best to stay away from that Law Node in the southwest to avoid running into Firemane King."

Morik shook his head with a sigh, then looked at Meisha and Su Nan.

"Ortiz and I are planning to go out exploring next. Do you want to join us?"

Meisha agreed without hesitation.

When Wizards go out exploring, it's rare for them to go alone. Most of the time, they go with familiar companions so they can support each other if they encounter enemies.

Meisha had teamed up with Morik and Ortiz several times before.

Su Nan thought for a moment and also agreed.

After all, it was his first time entering the Realm of Truth, so it was better to be cautious and find a few teammates.

Once they reached an agreement, the four of them decided to set off immediately without delay.

Meisha casually made a copy of the map for Su Nan.

"The Truth Council updates the map periodically, and any True Spirit Wizard can get a copy for free."

After leaving Wizard Town, the group headed in the opposite direction of the southwest.

On the way, Su Nan asked the three of them, "How do you usually search for Law Nodes?"

Meisha spread her hands, "By luck."

Su Nan was taken aback.

That's it?

"There's no other way. The environment in the Realm of Truth is quite special. Many magical tools, even Wizard Artifacts, lose their effectiveness here, or at least their effects are greatly diminished. We can only rely on our senses to find Law Nodes."

"Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

"Not exactly. The law strength of a Law Node is much higher than its surrounding environment. As long as you get close enough, you can sense it."

Su Nan twitched his lips.

From this perspective, it really is a matter of luck.

Shaking his head, Su Nan didn't say more and began to look around.

The terrain of the Realm of Truth was quite peculiar. It wasn't flat but rather three-dimensional, as shown by the map's shadow earlier.

Essentially, the Realm of Truth could be seen as an enormous tree-like space, divided into countless smaller spaces connected by plane channels.

Thus, it was common to see plane channels along the way.

On the other hand, the terrain of each small space was vastly different.

One moment you might be in a wind-swept wilderness, and the next you could find yourself in a lush green plain. The sense of disconnection was quite pronounced.

It's worth noting that along the way, Su Nan didn't see a single living creature other than themselves.

Even in some small spaces with suitable environments,

there wasn't a single creature to be found.

When Su Nan asked Meisha about this, the answer was that the Realm of Truth had no native life forms.

"Here, the only enemies we need to be wary of are the gods."

After a pause, Meisha hesitated, as if she felt her statement wasn't entirely accurate, and added, "But sometimes, we also need to be cautious around unfamiliar True Spirit Wizards." (End of Chapter)
