Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1239 - 500: Kingdom and Cultivation_3

Uther’s expression turned somewhat disgusted:

"The traditional spread of civilization typically adopts gradual and peaceful methods—trade, intermarriage, technological exchange, cultural infiltration.

Though this method is slow, it is stable and safe."

"However, Cassandra chose direct military conquest, forcibly implementing the values and social structure of Wizard Civilization."

"The advantage of this approach is its speed and scale, capable of gaining massive Favor feedback in a short period."

The old professor’s tone became serious:

"But the cost is extremely high risk.

Forced conquest often incites strong resistance from the conquered and easily draws the attention and intervention of other powerful civilizations."

"The current predicament of the Fourth Quadrant is the inevitable result of this extreme strategy."

Uther looked again at Ron, a profound light in his eyes:

"After hearing all this, your path should become incredibly clear."

"Your visit to Vinard is no longer merely as Cassandra’s ’spy’.

Observing firsthand how a Great Wizard perfects his colony, how he establishes his ’realm’, is more important for your own development."

"Regardless of the development path you choose, establishing an Otherworld base is an unavoidable step if you wish to go further on the wizard’s path."

On the bottom of the parchment, the old professor wrote a line:

"True strength is not merely individual martial prowess; it’s an existence that can influence an entire civilization’s progress."

"While strength can conquer the body, only wisdom can conquer the soul."

"And the way to conquer the soul is to spread your values, making others willingly live by the rules you set."

These words were enlightening, allowing Ron to thoroughly understand the essence of the Wizard World.

Here, it’s not about morals, but about interests and influence.

Every wizard strives to expand their influence, and civilization’s progress is merely a byproduct of this individual competition.

"Now I understand."

A new light ignited in Ron’s eyes:

"Vinard’s base is the best textbook for learning how to establish my own realm."

"And obtaining the ’Pioneer Certificate’ is my passport to a higher world."

"What about the Witch King?"

He continued to inquire, his inner desire for this level growing stronger.

"A Witch King is no longer merely an ’individual’ in the simple sense."

Uther’s voice became more profound:

"A large part of their power comes from the ’seeds of civilization’ they have planted in the Otherworld."

In the center of the parchment, he drew a symbol of a throne:

"When the civilizational influence of some top-level Great Wizards becomes broad enough, they can ’redefine’ the operational rules of reality within a certain scope.

Causing flames to burn in water, time to reverse, the dead to resurrect...

These things, which seem impossible to ordinary people, are just the exercise of ’jurisdiction’ to them."

"And a Witch King has extended this jurisdiction to an almost absolute extent."

"Therefore, at this level, sheer combat power is no longer the only standard.

Mastery of knowledge, understanding and the ability to spread civilization become crucial."

Uther gazed back at Ron, his eyes holding a certain deep meaning:

"This also explains why true powerhouses place such importance on the accumulation and transmission of knowledge."

Hearing this, a long-suppressed doubt rose in Ron’s heart.

If the passage and proliferation of knowledge are so important, then the "Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide," which claims to contain all Extraordinary Systems and Mysticism, is of undisputable importance.

Logically, it should not be so easily granted to him, a mere Moonlight Level Mage.

How could those Dark Sun Level Wizards or even Great Wizards not covet such a precious knowledge treasury?

He even faintly suspected that what he held might not be the original, but the King of Absurdity did not provide any specific explanations when he gave it to him.

After pondering for a moment, Ron decided to tentatively express his doubts:

"Professor, I have a confusion I’d like to consult with you."

He carefully took out the "Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide" from his storage space, its cover embedded with a large eyeball:

"You know, I was given this tome by the King of Absurdity after healing Eve, but truthfully, I feel incapable of using it effectively.

At times it shows certain content on its own, yet other times it completely ignores me, as if it possesses its own will."

Upon seeing the book, a knowing smile appeared in Uther’s eyes.

"It is indeed the style of the King of Absurdity."

The old professor sighed softly:

"Telling you nothing clearly, letting you think for yourself, to verify your own insights.

Ron, you must have realized for yourself that what you’re holding is not a unique piece, not even a ’book’ in the strictest sense."

While speaking, Uther retrieved another, even more ancient and weighty tome from the depths of his Void Remains.

The cover of this book was made of a deep brown, leather-like material.

Just by gazing at it, Ron felt a tremor deep within his soul.

It was a feeling more terrifying than facing death.

As if his very existence was being questioned, judged, gazed upon by some incomprehensible great will.

"I received this copy when I just became a Dark Sun Level Wizard, having successfully obtained the ’Blessing of the Apocalypse’, granted by the then reigning Witch King, the King of Late Bell."

Uther’s tone turned solemn and cautious:
