However.

For about four hundred years, there has been no Wizard from the "Life Tree School" advancing, and although this "Mysterious Source" hasn't encountered problems, its operational status is clearly somewhat sluggish.

If, at the last moment, the guidance from this "Mysterious Source" arrives a bit later, Aiven might have no choice but to become a Wild Mage to avoid assimilation...

As one of the oldest Extraordinary Professions, Wizards do not need to rely on additional Extraordinary Traits to break through; it is a unique profession.

And in this sort of advancement ritual.

School Wizards connect with the school's Extraordinary Source, while Wild Mages mostly connect with the world itself or, more accurately, the surrounding chaotic "Sea of World Consciousness."

As for what can be fished out from this sea, it all depends on luck; one might even accidentally "drown" within it entirely.

It's evident that Aiven's relighting of old flames to forge a new path is not without risks.

"So, what should be the next step?"

The Inheritance Secret Scroll only says that at this point, one will naturally understand what they should do, as the "Mysterious Source" will guide the trial road for the advancing person.

Just as he slightly moved his thoughts.

The swirling wind within the space already lifted Aiven, and in the blink of an eye, he seemingly crossed an unreachably vast distance, suddenly merging into the thick trunk of the Life Tree, which seemed to support the world.

Whoosh—

In an instant, Aiven was enveloped in endless radiance.

When the surrounding light dissipated.

Aiven was amazed to find himself in an entirely new space.

It seemed to be... the material world he was extremely familiar with.

Standing mid-air, looking around.

The blue sky above seemed to faintly carry a wooden texture.

Below was vast land, verdant sea of trees, endless mountains, magnificent oceans, and crystalline glaciers... a magnificent and primordial natural landscape, with barely any human trace.

The scene gradually changed before his eyes.

It was as if a "Creator" was bringing forth all things in the wilderness.

Animals living in the natural world gradually became active, and even many unimaginable entities appeared.

Shapeless anomalies from the ocean depths, coldly gleaming metal Golems, and more bizarre plants and animals, as well as some wondrous beings, half-human and half-Demon-like.

They filled the land, sea, and even the sky...

A sudden insight.

He instantly realized that this was the knowledge once belonging to the school's Wizards, encompassing their understanding of this world and various research achievements.

He even saw within it giant Rock Golems like "Mountain Giants" and beings similar to the last "Great Wizard" of the Life School, Heber Crete, with serpent tails.

Evidently, these were the last traces and final wealth left by former school members in this world.

And he also knew that this seemingly material world was actually the first layer of Life Tree's four-layer world, the "Material Realm."

Concept/Extraordinary Source: The Life Tree that created all things.

The four layers or realms forming the Tree of Life.

First Realm: "Material Realm" or the "Material World"

Symbolizes the earth among the four foundational elements of the world.

Corresponds to the world where humans live. The soul gains a body here; the primordial light shatters, beginning to crystallize into matter, the natural world, and human existence.

Abstract concepts turn into concrete things. Corresponding to the lowest layer are the three essences: "Radiance," "Foundation," "Kingdom."

Second Realm: "Forming Realm" or the "Forming World"

Symbolizes water among the four foundational elements of the world.

The domain of the human soul, beginning distinctions between male and female here.

Considered the elemental world, material from the "Creation Realm" starts forming, shapes start manifesting.

Represents the mind of God. Corresponding to the middle layer are the three essences: "Severity," "Beauty," "Victory."

Third Realm: "Creation Realm" or the "Creation World"

Symbolizes wind among the four foundational elements of the world.

Here lies the realm of spirit and soul. Light from the "Divinity Realm" begins organizing, thoughts and concepts start receiving form.

Represents the heart of God. Corresponding to the upper layer are the three essences: "Wisdom," "Understanding," "Compassion."

Fourth Realm: "Divinity Realm" or the "Formative World"

Symbolizes fire among the four foundational elements of the world.

The highest order, most perfect world; other worlds were created from here, belonging to the pure world of soul and thought.

Represents the will of the Primordial God (Creator)! Corresponding to the topmost essence "Crown."

From the "Flesh Sacrifice," Aiven knows clearly.

Only by reaching the appropriate level can one ascend to the worlds corresponding to the Life Tree during advancement.

Unless one can achieve "Truth Embodiment" and truly take its place after becoming a Crowned Wizard, no one can linger here for long.
