It's not difficult to have ninety percent certainty. Using all three Fourth-Ring Sorcery Positions and three Fifth-Ring Sorcery Positions to strengthen the Space Jump Witchcraft should be enough.

The remaining Fourth-Ring Sorcery Position will serve as a Time Sorcery Seed, and after discovering the Space Rune, it will be constructed into witchcraft and fused into the appropriate Core Witchcraft.

Besides the Fourth-Ring Sorcery Position, he actually also has one each of the First-Ring, Second-Ring, and Third-Ring Sorcery Positions, and he also keeps two Apprentice Sorcery Positions.

They can all be used as Space-Time Sorcery Seeds to fuse into the three Core Witchcrafts, altering the nature of the Origin Container.

"Better wait a bit longer." Lor rubbed his temples, closing the 'Space Rune Supplement Details and Evaluation' category with some headache.

He didn't rush to communicate his decision to Francis; instead, he first looked through the messages stacked in the message panel.

His eyes quickly skimmed over the daily reports sent by Levan and Kateya, focusing on the message from Francis.

"Oh, has the Fourth-Ring Energy Furnace completely stabilized?" Seeing this good news, Lor's mood slightly improved, and he continued to scroll down.

After a while, his gaze settled on a message from Agular, and he hesitated to open it.

The title of this message was: Lor, thank you for the Elixir of Breakthrough, allowing me to glimpse a fourth-ring landscape.

If it weren't for the words "Elixir of Breakthrough," Lor would have been delighted.

Because it would mean Agular achieved the breakthrough on his own, ensuring a long life of about fifty thousand years, with the road ahead unimpeded.

But with those four words, everything changed.

"Did it ultimately fail..." Lor's eyes drooped, as he glanced at the notes piled on the desk.

All along the way, he had never slackened for a moment, yet the things he most wanted to hold on to had somehow slipped away one by one.

This left him feeling a bit helpless, with an emptiness in his heart.

Ten thousand years might seem long, but compared to how a single study could last hundreds or even thousands of years after advancing to the Fifth Ring, it was almost ephemeral.

Most importantly, he couldn't stop moving forward, because the future of the Wizard Alliance was in his hands.

Raising a hand could see it ascend to the sky, turning into a star, a moon, or even a sun illuminating everything.

Lowering a hand could result in it being covered in dust for long, perhaps leading to an even worse outcome because of his changes, like becoming one with the dust.

After a long time, Lor sighed lightly and opened Agular's message to read it.

[Lor, I was unsurprised by my failure to break through the Fourth Ring on my own. To say I'm not regretful would be a lie.

But what is meant to happen has happened; regret is useless.

I only hope to see your future go further, possibly surpassing Speaker Francis and becoming the first Seventh Ring of the Wizard Alliance.

By then, while strolling in the Wizard World... wrong, it should be the Wizard Plane Group, even the Tier Six lives from the Vassal Race should have to greet me with respect, right?

Haha, so it's decided, for now, I'll just wander around the Wizard Plane, and hopefully, after about ten years, you'll be out to join me for a drink.

—Agular

Wizard Calendar 1433, September 1st]

In this message, he could clearly read an emotion named relaxation, as if letting go of everything.

As he read on, Lor's heart lightened significantly, and a smile appeared on his lips, "It's already Wizard Calendar 1466, August 7th, now. The mentor must have been back for quite a while, right?"

"Hmm, after informing Speaker Francis of my subsequent plans, it's indeed time to find some time to have a good drink with the mentor."

Although he couldn't spare much time, having a drink wouldn't be a problem.

To be honest, he rather envied his own mentor, who could casually find ten years to wander and travel.

"Tsk, no, this way won't do, it's too complacent. I must find something for the mentor to do, since idle hands are the devil's plaything." Lor clicked his tongue, making up his mind, closed the message list, and initiated an emergency communication to Francis.

Not long after, a light curtain manifested before Lor.

In the light curtain, Francis wore a face full of smiles, seemingly in a happy mood.

"Has something good happened just now?" Lor asked curiously.

"Hmm?!" Francis looked at Lor in surprise, "Isn't your breakthrough into the Fifth Ring a cause for celebration?"

During the past sixty-plus years, Francis had sent Lor many messages, some like the stabilization of the Fourth-Ring Energy Furnace were to report good news; others were to seek advice.

In the past, Lor used to reply to some messages every ten years, but from Wizard Calendar 1401 until now, he hadn't responded to a single one.

Even a fool could guess Lor was wholly focused on constructing the Domain.

Now, suddenly sending a communication request, Francis could think of no other reason than Lor having broken through to the Fifth Ring.

"Alright, you are as perceptive as ever." Lor curled his lips, then his expression turned serious, as he explained his previous conjectures and plans in detail to Francis.

"So your plan is that if none of them have broken through to the Sixth Ring by then, you'll go and hold back Silver Wolf?" Francis asked seriously, his smile gone after hearing it all.

"Yes." Lor nodded, "But on one condition, that is if Cody reacts intensely during the Plane Shift experiment."

"I'll have Cody on standby at all times, ready to cooperate with you in the experiment." Francis immediately took over the task of convincing Cody, the only place he could truly help Lor.

"Alright, I'll leave Cody to you." Lor acknowledged.

Then the two discussed various aspects of the Wizard Plane for a long time before ending the communication.

Lor continued to scroll through the communication list, found Agular's contact number, and dialed it.

...

Milton Continent, outside a grand hall near the center of Francis City.

A streak of green light flew into the grand hall filled with Teleportation Arrays, finally stopping in front of one near the inner hall, taking the shape of Francis.

"Greetings to Speaker Francis."

"Greetings to Speaker Francis."

The wizards in the Teleportation Hall halted and saluted Francis.

"Hmm." Francis nodded, then walked into the Teleportation Array in front of him, speaking to the Red-Robed Great Wizard controlling the Teleportation Array, "Activate the Teleportation Array."

"Yes, Speaker Francis." The Red-Robed Great Wizard responded, immediately injecting Elemental Energy into the black diamond-shaped crystal in hand.

"Buzz——"

The Teleportation Array emitted a gentle hum, and Francis's figure disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared in the Teleportation Hall located in Cody City in the southwest of Milton Continent.

Upon seeing Francis's arrival, the many wizards in the Cody City Teleportation Hall hurriedly saluted.

Francis nodded slightly, walked out of the Teleportation Array, and was about to take out the communication device to notify Cody.

At this moment, a resonant voice spread from the top of Cody Wizard Tower, "Oh, who do we have here? It's Speaker Francis!"

"I remember last time you came here to catch me, right?"

"This time, could it be you want to capture me again?"

"Just to clarify in advance, just like last time, I haven't involved myself in the affairs of other Faith Wizards this time, you should find the culprits to settle scores, don't keep implicating the innocent."

This voice spread widely, enveloping the entire Cody City.

Listening to Cody's sarcastic tone, Francis rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat of a headache.

This guy was getting more unruly, and without properly disciplining him, it might be tough to have a normal conversation.

Having decided, he ignored the shocked, bewildered, and perplexed gazes of the little ones around, and flew straight out of Cody City.

At the same time, he forced his perception to break through the Perception Defense Shield at the top of Cody Wizard Tower, transmitting to Cody within, "Legislator Cody, please come out, I have something to discuss with you regarding your promotion to speaker."

"Ah?!" Cody was completely stunned.

He initially thought Francis was here for some troublesome trifles, considering this person was known for not visiting without reason.

Since he couldn't avoid it, he thought he'd gain some advantage verbally beforehand.

Who would have thought Francis was here for his promotion, and the misunderstanding grew bigger.

But why was Francis asking him to discuss it outside the Wizard Tower instead of inside?
