Cultivating in the Wizard World

What exactly have we done?

To cause such a huge commotion?!

Jeming and David's expressions were somewhat distorted.

Fortunately, Dean Avery Knight wasn't as malicious as Viola:

"Do you still remember the illegal wizard you were tracking back then?"

Avery Knight's words instantly brought Jeming back to nearly a thousand years ago.

When the Nolun No.147 Plane had not yet been conquered, there was a Sage among the plane's natives.

At that time, it served as a trial plane for the elite combat units of the wizard apprentices.

The reason the wizards could win the battle, besides Jeming cramming "crap" into the faith of the plane's deities, was that David persuaded that Sage to decapitate the native leaders.

It was quite a contribution to the wizards' effort to capture the main plane of the Nolun No.147 Plane Community.

Everything should have moved forward smoothly. After all, the wizards didn't intend to violate the agreement that David had made with the Sage.

The local natives continually transformed, integrating into the wizard civilization, accepting new rules, and starting a new life.

But unexpectedly, in the end, it was that Sage who became the problem.

He became an illegal wizard, attempting to open a space portal through sacrifice to summon a Destruction Demon God from another civilization to destroy the wizard civilization.

Of course, although he was a Sage among the natives, he was limited by his knowledge.

Confined by his perspective, he didn't realize that even if he succeeded, the so-called "Destruction Demon God" and his invading army would only cause limited damage to the Nolun No.147 Plane.

Indeed, that was the case.

When Jeming and David tracked down his plan, they chose to go along with it.

After the space portal was truly opened by the enemy, they appeared with the High Tier Wizards to capture him.

As for the opened plane portal and the civilization on the other side, they naturally became the spoils of Dean Avery Knight.

"I remember," Jeming nodded.

Although it was just an inconspicuous matter, events like this, where someone delivers something to you, are extremely rare, so it left a deep impression on him.

David also nodded, as this matter had left quite an impression in his heart as well.

But then he showed a bewildered expression: "But what does this have to do with today's gathering?"

Avery Knight didn't answer directly but continued asking, "Do you still remember the reaction of that Destruction Demon God to the word 'wizard' when he first invaded?" (Chapter 232)

Jeming frowned as he recalled.

The creature summoned over had a terrifically fearful expression when it heard the Sage refer to them as wizards...

"After hearing the word 'wizard,' it displayed extreme fear," Jeming said. "It probably escaped after its civilization once encountered the wizard civilization."

Avery Knight nodded, then shook his head.

"Correct, but not entirely,"

Jeming and David exchanged a puzzled glance.

"The strength of a Ninth Level Wizard requires no further explanation from me," Avery Knight's voice was calm. "All civilizations that are aware of the concept of the wizard civilization are put on a watch list by any means. If a civilization was truly strong enough to survive an encounter with wizards, then the Ninth Level Wizards would certainly personally deal with it."

He paused, "Since none of the Ninth Level Wizards really took action, it means the strength of that plane isn't significant. And that's indeed the case; the strongest beings from the other civilization were merely a group of Eighth Level Creatures."

David pondered, "Could it be that the civilization had communicated with other civilizations and learned about the wizard civilization?"

"That's what I initially thought as well," Avery Knight said. "But later, after examining all knowledge of that civilization, I found that's not the case."

Jeming and David both showed puzzled expressions.

Avery Knight looked at them, speaking carefully and deliberately: "Strictly speaking, this is a misunderstanding. Although the other side shouted 'wizard,' pronounced it as 'wizard,' and even meant 'wizard,' they were not referring to our wizard civilization."

Jeming was stunned.

What does this mean?

His brain quickly spun, trying to understand Avery Knight's logic.

According to his explanation, could it be that the civilization of the Destruction Demon God had encountered another civilization in the past, one that used writing, language pronunciation, even self-referencing and combat methods identical to those of the wizard civilization?

So they meant 'wizards,' but not our wizard civilization...

David also realized it, but he didn't know what to say at the moment: "This..."

"Could such a civilization truly exist?" Jeming frowned.

David couldn't help but let his thoughts wander: "Is it possible that the wizard civilization has scattered forces elsewhere? After leaving the initial plane, did other wizards develop in different places?"

Avery Knight chuckled: "When the wizard civilization left the initial plane, it was under the protection of the Ninth Level Wizards, so naturally, there couldn't have been scattered forces. As for other possibilities... indeed, there exists a world that calls themselves wizards, but they are not referring to our wizard civilization."

"?"

Jeming and David heard this and slowly typed a question mark.

He looked at the two of them and slowly uttered four words: "Parallel World."

Jeming and David were momentarily astonished, and after understanding Dean Avery Knight's words, they both gasped.

Parallel World.

This concept was not unfamiliar in Jeming's previous life; whether in fantasy or in serious science, relevant ideas or settings were abundant.

But in the Wizard Civilization, which had already explored the essence of extraordinary power, the concept of parallel worlds, or more accurately the terminology, had completely become a mathematical probability issue.

This mathematical problem is somewhat akin to a variation of the infinite monkey theorem: a monkey randomly hitting keys on a typewriter, given enough time, could eventually type out the complete works of Shakespeare.

Similarly, planes are composed of particles, and particles are made up of elements.

Theoretically, if the arrangement of all elements on one plane, even including trajectories, is exactly the same as another plane, then the external manifestations of these two planes would also be identical.

This is the so-called parallel world.

Jeming also encountered this kind of theory in his previous life, and its mathematical concepts were similar.

However, for him, this mathematical parallel world theory was primarily used to explain the difference between the real universe and the observable universe to those who did not understand.

And in the Wizard World, within the endless chaotic void, the arrangement of all elements is also random.

Theoretically, as long as the chaotic void is large enough, this situation could indeed occur.

According to the existing mathematical models of the Wizards, there is indeed a high probability that parallel worlds exist in the chaotic void, and their number is not insignificant.

"Yes." Avery Knight nodded, "And it's because of this discovery that I subsequently mobilized the entire faculty of Nolun No.147 Academy to carefully clean up all the knowledge of that civilization. Finally confirmed — they indeed had dealings with 'another' Wizard Civilization."

He looked at Jeming and David, his gaze becoming profound.

"In other words, the Wizard Civilization has once again discovered a parallel world. More importantly, from that knowledge, we obtained the spatial coordinates of another Wizard Civilization."

Jeming felt his heartbeat skip a beat.

The sounds of the crowd in the square seemed to disappear at that moment, leaving only the words of Dean Avery Knight echoing in his mind.

But he caught a keyword from Avery Knight's words.

"Discovered again..." he stared at Avery Knight, "Has the Wizard Civilization previously discovered other parallel worlds?"

Viola's voice floated over from beside him, carrying a hint of laziness.

"That's right. And it's been discovered twice."

She held up three fingers: "Counting this time, it's the third. However, one discovery was of a parallel world from another civilization, not the Wizard World."

Jeming gasped.

Upon hearing this, his first reaction was... how vast is the Wizard Civilization's territory?

Even though the existence of parallel worlds is purely a probability issue, encountering them twice in succession implies that the Wizard Civilization's current territory might be vast indeed!

But soon, Jeming thought of a troublesome issue and his expression turned serious.

"If it's indeed a parallel world, wouldn't the opposing Wizard Civilization also have Ninth Level Wizards?"

If it's just ordinary Ninth Level Creatures, the Wizard Civilization is not afraid.

But if it's Ninth Level Wizards...

It's precisely because they are Wizards that they know how terrifying Ninth Level Wizards can be.

Viola shook her head.

"No need to worry about that. Ninth Level Wizards can consolidate their own probabilities, preventing the appearance of twins."

Jeming's pupils contracted slightly: "Ninth Level can actually achieve this step?"

Avery Knight picked up the conversation: "Not quite. According to earlier intelligence from other civilization's parallel worlds, only Ninth Level Wizards can consolidate their own probabilities. It seems Ninth Level Creatures cannot achieve this."

Jeming pondered for a moment.

If there are no Ninth Level Wizards, then the developmental trajectory of the other Wizard Civilization might be completely different from theirs.

For example, the most important covenant for the protection of Wizard knowledge originates from the Star Orbit Arbitration Court.

And the Star Orbit Arbitration Court is composed of the only nine Ninth Level Wizards in Wizard Civilization.

Without this covenant, how much slower would the development speed of the entire Wizard Civilization be?

In this guess, Jeming very decisively determined a premise: the opposing Wizard Civilization does not have Ninth Level Wizards.

Because, with the existing resources of the Wizard Civilization unable to advance to Ninth Level, it is even less possible in other parallel worlds.

"Exactly." Avery Knight nodded, "Based on inference, the parallel worlds of Wizards relative to us are generally more backward."

Jeming let out a breath upon hearing this.

Under the same combat system, if the opposite side is more backward than theirs, the difficulty of battle would be greatly reduced.

In this case, there's no need to worry about the battle problem...
