Divine Domain Fragment.

The data panel quietly hovered in midair.

Name: Carl

Constitution: 5.4

Spiritual Power: 5.85

Source Material: 0

Level: Legendary Knight, Advanced Wizard Apprentice

Abyss Bloodline Fusion: 15%

A Constitution of 5.4, in numerical terms, was ten times that of an average person, but the actual gap was far more than tenfold. With the enhancement of Battle Aura and Battle Skills, his flesh was comparable to a machine forged of steel. Even a hundred armored average mortals were not a match for a Legendary Knight.

And a spiritual power of 5.85—many newly advanced Official Wizards did not possess such a profound foundation.

However, spiritual power was one thing; realm was another.

An Official Wizard could sense the Star Realm, and their witchcraft was far more powerful than that of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice, not to mention they also wielded One-Circle Witchcraft.

Soon!

Carl waved his hand to dismiss the data panel.

Even if the cultivation of spiritual power becomes very slow, in no more than two years, I should be able to completely master the Spiritual Inner Sea. By then, the Abyss Bloodline Fusion should also be able to reach 30%.

With sufficient spiritual power, one could attempt to advance to an Official Wizard, but Carl had no plans to do so.

Too risky! Advancement failure could be fatal. Even with my spiritual power, there's a high likelihood of success, but what if something goes wrong? What if there's an accident? With perfect control over my body through the Divine Domain Fragment, taking the path of a Bloodline Wizard at least means I don't have to worry about death. The chances of breakthrough are also higher.

No rush! No need to rush. It's just a year or two; I'm still young, I can wait.

Withdrawing his thoughts, a quill pen rose by itself, recording various experimental data in a tome of witchcraft.

Research on the wish-realization mechanism of the Divine Domain Fragment.

One: Divination is a major taboo!

Carl had once tried to divine his own future. It was a simple attempt that almost destroyed the Divine Domain Fragment. Divination might involve unknown entities. The cost of divination, depending on the entities involved, is not necessarily less for simpler divinations. For example, if Carl divined whether heading north was safe for himself, the journey might be very safe, but he could encounter a terrifying entity along the way. The cost of divination, then, would be determined by that entity and could be substantial even if no harm came of it. Therefore, since then, he no longer conducted divination or foresight experiments.

Two: It can enhance Cultivation.

Since it is a wish-realization mechanism, of course Cultivation can be enhanced, but at the cost of the Divine Domain Fragment.

And it's not cost-effective at all!

Carl tried to increase his own spiritual power and Abyss Bloodline Fusion. It was achievable. But unlike using Source Material to increase strength, leveraging the Divine Domain Fragment would result in over ninety percent of the power being wasted in transmission. Given the current size of the Divine Domain Fragment, even if all of it were sacrificed, it would not significantly increase his strength. If the Divine Domain Fragment were a hundred kilometers or tens of thousands of kilometers in size, it would be possible to directly become a Second Circle and even a Third Ring Wizard. And so on. The size of the Divine Domain is almost equivalent to the strength of a Divine; the stronger the Divine, the broader Their Divine Domain undoubtedly is.

Three: The devout will not remain so forever.

Apart from Carl himself, two people had now successfully called upon the Taiwei Jade Emperor. They were Quincy and Ayala. Quincy achieved a breakthrough to Legendary Knight through this. However, not long afterward, he was killed by a Red-eyed Sharkman, and as a devotee, everything of his was Devoured by the Divine Domain Fragment. As for Ayala, she used the Divine's power to resolve her water bondage; she had no faith to begin with.

Initially, Carl could, through the Divine Domain Fragment, freely observe Ayala's thoughts, life, and exert influence. But if ignored over time, the connection between the two would weaken. Gradually, it became difficult to sense her. Now, even if Ayala met with an accidental death, her soul, her memories, would not belong to the Taiwei Jade Emperor.

No wonder those bothered by Evil Gods often have nightmares and are influenced; it must be for fear of losing the connection. Faith!

Carl pondered.

Divine beings need long-term faith; such devotees are meaningful. Casual believers are less significant because there's no certainty they won't change their faith. Also... those on the brink of death have more worth than the living because everything of theirs will belong to the Divine upon death, while the living might change their faith. No wonder some Churches are so keen to persuade the dying to worship Divine beings, even claiming that converting a dying person is worth more than turning ten young people into followers. So that's how it is!

Four: Nothing can be created from nothing.

This point was quite straightforward. One could make a wish to the Taiwei Jade Emperor but could not receive something that did not already exist; at least Carl couldn't. However, if it was something within the Divine Domain Fragment, it could be sent out through space.

Five: Cannot create life.

Six: ...

Simply put, as the master of this Divine Domain Fragment, there's not much I can do, Carl reflected. To do more, I must gain more believers, develop more followers. Gather Source Material from them, expand the Divine Domain, then continue to perform 'miracles' to attract more followers, eventually achieving a virtuous cycle.

Stroking his chin, Carl shook his head in resignation.

No, it won't do! I'm just the master of a Divine Domain Fragment, not the master of a Divine Domain. I have functions similar to those of Divine beings, but they are incomplete.

He lifted his head to look at Quincy's memories, trapped in the dimensional prison.

Just Quincy's memories had a profound effect on him.

With ten or eight more memories of other people... the dimensional prison might not hold.
