"It's too early to say it's complete now," Aaron shook his head, but a smile appeared on his face as well, "But it is indeed time to send a communication request to Speaker Francis. After all, the issue with the Fourth-tier War Fortress has been completely resolved."

While speaking, he took out the Continent Communication Device from the Space Ring, found Francis's contact number, and initiated a communication request.

A minute later, a light screen appeared in front of the two of them.

"Greetings, Speaker Francis."

"Greetings, Speaker Francis."

The two of them bowed in salute together.

"Hmm," Francis nodded and asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that you've extended the duration of the Large Energy Furnace again?"

The only important matter he could think of for these two sending him a communication was the extension of the Large Energy Furnace's stable time.

"Yes, Speaker Francis."

Aaron hurriedly adjusted the light screen of the Continent Communication Device to face the Large Energy Furnace, which was still transmitting Elemental Energy to the Charging Magic Array of the Fourth Ring, and began to introduce, "We activated this Energy Furnace on November 5, 1435, of the Wizard Calendar."

"As of today, a whole year, one month, and twenty-five days have passed, and it remains in perfect condition without a single crack."

At this point, he wanted to take the opportunity to ask about what kind of contribution was needed to meet the requirements for getting the ranking slot for the Breakthrough Dew.

Even if a stable Large Energy Furnace for a year didn't reach the requirement, it would help to have a target to strive for later, wouldn't it?

But in the end, he still didn't dare to speak up.

He always felt that both he and Lawson were lucky to have become Honorary Legislators by taking advantage of Ernie's achievements, so his confidence wasn't really strong.

"Haha, very good!" Francis's eyes brightened, "Do you have any interest in changing your research direction and trying to elevate the Small Energy Furnace to the fourth-tier level?"

Currently, Ernie is still preparing for a breakthrough to the Fourth Ring, however, the most outstanding Mechanical Wizard Vincentia has already reached the Second Ring level.

It is believed that it won't take hundreds of years for him to officially become a Third Ring.

And after that, the path will be obstructed due to the current tier of the Small Energy Furnace.

Although Lawson and Aaron lack the talent of Ernie in Energy Furnace research, they are evidently stronger compared to other geniuses.

Anyway, the Fourth-tier War Fortress is sufficient for practice for the time being, and even if a Fifth-tier War Fortress is built, a regular Third Ring Wizard wouldn't be able to control it.

In comparison, letting them both first research the Small Energy Furnace is a more fitting choice.

"As you command," Lawson and Aaron both bowed in response simultaneously, then the two exchanged a glance, constantly hinting for the other to quickly ask that question.

"Are you trying to ask about the queue qualification for Breakthrough Dew?"

Francis instantly saw through their thoughts and smiled, "Focus on researching the Small Energy Furnace. I'll notify you when it's your turn."

After saying that, he hung up the communication.

"What does Speaker Francis mean?" Aaron looked at Lawson with some hesitation, not quite sure if his guess was correct.

"If nothing unexpected, he should be arranging it for us," Lawson couldn't help but grin as he spoke, then added, "Of course, we must also be dedicated to the research on the Small Energy Furnace, or else..."

He stopped midway, but Aaron fully understood the deeper meaning of his words. He immediately nodded firmly and said, "We definitely have to be dedicated, developing the Fourth-tier Small Energy Furnace for the Wizard Alliance has always been my dream."

...

August 5, 1465, Wizard Calendar.

Top floor of the Lor Wizard Tower, in the study.

Lor activated the Microscope Rune Model, observing the pitch-black domain firmly enclosing the Origin Container at the center of his Sea of Consciousness.

Under the microscope, this domain's protrusions resembled giant mountains, and its depressions appeared as Celestial Abysses – full of pits and hollows.

However, even such an imperfect-looking domain had taken him over fifty years to perfect.

"Without any actual gaps, it's now sufficient to support my breakthrough to the Fifth Ring," Lor gently exhaled, as his Spiritual Power left the Microscope Rune Model and directly dove toward the domain in his Sea of Consciousness.

As long as the domain has no cracks, it will allow a Wizard to successfully break through the Fifth Ring.

As for those pits and hollows, they can be gradually improved after ascending to the Fifth Ring.

"Whew whew—"

Lor's Spiritual Power passed through the domain's outer barrier without any hindrance, stopping between the domain and the Origin Container.

Subsequently, his Spiritual Power stretched, turning into a bridge that connected the domain and the Origin Container.

"Creak—"

At the moment the domain and the Origin Container linked, a sharp explosive sound echoed from the Origin Container.

Immediately, the Power of Origin within the Origin Container dispersed, slowly flowing towards the domain through the bridge Lor constructed.

Moments later, as soon as the Power of Origin contacted the domain, the slightly insubstantial Space Element rune structure within was completely compacted, establishing a mysterious connection with the Origin Container.

Ten days...

Three months...

In the blink of an eye, six months quietly passed, and the Power of Origin overflowing from the Origin Container finally completed its circulation through the domain.

"Buzz buzz—Clatter—"

The Origin Container, along with the domain, emitted a slight humming sound, entering an elevation state, while the outside Elemental Domain began to expand synchronously.

At this moment, the physical body in the external world was also enduring the baptism of the elements, rapidly strengthening while delivering severe pain.

Lor paid no mind to the turbulent Sea of Consciousness, enduring the pain from his body, and focused all his effort on maintaining the stability of the Spiritual Power bridge, slowly controlling the flow of Power of Origin back through the bridge to the Origin Container.
