Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree
Chapter 703 - 694: Transplanting the Moon Well
Duke’s plan was to first try planting the Moon Well inside the Light God Court, and then guide the dark attribute energy out of the Moon Well for storage.
This way, he could obtain an Energy Well with dark attributes and still maintain the Moon Well.
In theory, this was the best result, but its implementation would naturally be quite challenging.
Duke could only combine various sources of information and began to research, study, and explore the possibilities for realization.
In the Light God Court, Duke’s brow was sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed.
He constantly retrieved stored relevant knowledge from his mental core for deduction, his fingers unconsciously sketching complex energy flow diagrams and rune structures in the air.
"Rule compatibility is the primary issue..." he murmured, his gaze directed towards the distant World Tree Seed that exuded an aura of all-encompassing inclusiveness.
"Perhaps... the key is here, as the World Tree itself has the ability to harmonize and nurture different rules, serving as one of the cornerstones of many planes. Using the power of the World Tree as a buffer and intermediary to guide the laws of the Moon Well into the Divine Court system might be the most secure path."
"Energy balance... adjustments must be made in the selection of the site for the Moon Well, ensuring it is neither too close to the World Tree and the Spring of Life, to avoid direct competition, nor too far away, to take advantage of their harmonizing abilities. Perhaps it could be placed at a higher elevation within the Divine Court, where the simulated stars are clearly visible at night?
Although there’s no real moon, the sky rules of the Divine Court are my simulation, and perhaps I can attempt to adjust the rules so that the nights in the Divine Court also have a faint moonlight characteristic that the Moon Well can absorb."
Duke’s thoughts became increasingly clear, and a grand and complex plan for planting the Moon Well within the Divine Court began to take shape.
This was not just a simple resource placement, but a profound research project involving Plane Study, Energy Study, Rune Study, and even rule-level investigations.
He put away the moonstone shards and most materials, leaving only a few scrolls about advanced rune arrays and energy grafting techniques.
Then, his gaze fell once again on the gentle moonlight prism.
"I mustn’t rush things," Duke admonished himself. Such a significant project requires the most meticulous preparation.
His current understanding of the Moon Well was not deep enough, and the rune knowledge needed for the transformation and unsealing ceremony required further study.
"The next step is to thoroughly understand the structure and sealing principles of the moonlight prism, attempting to gently sense its internal energy rhythms with spiritual power without triggering unsealing, and conducting initial resonance tests with the Divine Court environment. Simultaneously, I must fully study the necessary knowledge and select several potential sites within the Divine Court to start small-scale experiments of depicting basic rune arrays that simulate moonlight energy environments..."
With a clear short-term goal, Duke felt assured.
He carefully put the moonlight prism away, walked outside, and looked at the lush and infinitely potential world around him.
This place was not only his safe haven and resource warehouse but could also become his experimental ground and foundation for merging the essence of multiple planes to create a unique, exclusive plane rule system.
Having clarified his goals and initial ideas, Duke embarked on months of focused research and experiments between the suite at the Serene Corridor Hotel and the Light God Court.
He first spent considerable time utilizing the powerful calculation and analytical capability of the mental core, combined with profound materials obtained from the Star Dome Commerce Association, the Empire Library, and his own collection, to thoroughly analyze the encapsulation structure and principles of the moonlight prism.
Like the most patient surgeon, Duke meticulously and carefully perceived the energy rhythms and spatial anchor point information emitted by the dormant Moon Well essence within the prism using extremely subtle and gentle spiritual power tendrils, without touching the core seal.
Meanwhile, he gained deeper insights and conducted tests on the existing rules of the Light God Court.
Duke attempted to make minor adjustments in a local area of the Divine Court’s sky, simulating an extremely weak but nature-close soft silver-white glow resembling the moon of the Suren on the night elf plane.
This was not the true moonlight rule but a simulated illumination based on Duke’s understanding of moonlight energy and utilizing the authority of the Lord of the Divine Court.
Initially, this simulated moonlight was rigid and unstable, but as Duke continuously adjusted and calibrated using the rhythms within the moonlight prism, it gradually became natural and smooth. Although its energy level and rule integrity were far less than a real moon, it already possessed certain moonlight characteristics, enough to serve as the inducement environment for preliminary testing.
The intensive learning of knowledge progressed simultaneously.
Advanced Rune Array Study, Energy Grafting and Separation Technology, Heterogeneous Rule Harmonization Theory... Duke frantically absorbed, understood, and constructed numerous theoretical models using these profound and obscure pieces of knowledge through his mental core.
He particularly focused on how to utilize the World Tree Seed’s characteristics. Although it was still just a seed, far from grown, its nature as a plane foundation was already evident, emanating a primal rhythm of inclusion, nourishment, and harmonization of all things.
Duke repeatedly tried to use his spiritual power to evoke this rhythm of the World Tree Seed to contact and embrace the energy breath simulated by the moonlight prism, observing the reactions between the two. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
The initial attempts were filled with repulsion and fluctuation, but as Duke adjusted the frequency and approach of contact, he discovered with delight that the rhythm of the World Tree Seed could indeed play a buffering and initial assimilation role, making the simulated moonlight energy appear less out of place in the Divine Court environment.
