Buzz...

Accompanied by a low buzzing sound that gradually subsided, the giant forge towering hundreds of meters high, engraved with countless intricate energy circuits, finally ceased operation.

The heavy gate at the furnace mouth slowly opened upwards under the dual drive of hydraulic mechanics and runes.

In an instant, the remaining particle stream inside, reaching a temperature level of millions of degrees, erupted like a long-bound furious dragon, rippling layer upon layer against the laboratory’s specially crafted protective force field.

A hand as if made of jade suddenly reached out from the not yet fully dissipated chaotic flow of energy, tightly gripping the scorching edge of the furnace mouth.

Soon after, Jeming’s head emerged.

Having completed his daily body forging, he wore a trace of fatigue on his face, yet more so an ease after refining.

He exhaled a long breath of hot white steam, casually taking the brand-new wizard robe respectfully handed over by a long-waiting Black Giant Priest and smoothly donned it, covering the body that had undergone countless refinements under the Body Refining Technique, where an understated brilliance seemed to flow.

As soon as Jeming finished tying the robe strap, another Black Giant Priest standing by stepped forward at the right moment.

Holding a small crystal display flickering with streams of complex data in real time.

"Master, during your body forging, the seventh project team completed the third round of verification on the Elemental-Spiritual Power Conversion Efficiency Threshold, and the data matches expectations; the third project group has broken through the bottleneck on Elemental Shield Folding, reducing energy consumption by 17% in the new rune array; progress on constructing the Incense Fire Divine Dao ’Automatic Collection Module’ has been pushed to 42.7%..."

The voice of the Black Giant Priest was clear and steady, reporting line by line achievements.

While Jeming stretched his somewhat sore neck and listened to the report, a satisfied expression unwittingly appeared on his face.

The deep sense of comfort within was utterly indescribable.

After all these years!

He finally felt firsthand how blissful it was to have a group of efficient, smart, and absolutely obedient ’qualified oxen and horses’ as research assistants!

The excellence of these Black Giant Priests far exceeded his initial expectations.

Perhaps it’s because the Black Giant as a foundational race was designed to be extremely superior, leading every priest born to possess astonishing intelligence.

More importantly, they seem to inherit the race’s innate special affinity with energy and time, with an exaggerated talent in learning within these two domains.

Often needing only slight guidance and a supplement of basic knowledge, they quickly grow into highly outstanding assistants in related fields, capable of independently completing fairly complex experimental tasks and data sorting.

Furthermore, the birth probability of a Black Giant Priest is quite considerable, supported by a large base.

Essentially, with every ten million Black Giants born, one Black Giant Priest naturally emerges.

Given the current exaggerated growth rate of Black Giants, five to six priests can be stably added each year.

Relying on this ever-expanding ’Priest Think Tank’, Jeming has finally been able to classify and form different project teams to simultaneously propel the myriad research ideas accumulating in his mind.

This not only greatly improves research efficiency but also finally allows him to escape some tedious foundational work, freeing up more time and energy to focus on building the Incense Fire Divine Dao system.

Glancing over the last few lines of the report on the display, Jeming’s eyes suddenly sharpened, landing on a seemingly inconspicuous data summary.

The next second, an uncontrollable excitement burst in his eyes.

"It’s finally completed?!"

Almost immediately, he dashed into the teleportation array beside him, leaving the priest who was still reporting.

In a flash, he appeared in the core area of the main laboratory.

The report that excited him so, confirmed the ultimate completion of the Mutated Spider Snake Crystal Shell Space Stabilization Element Model!

The establishment of this model means he has finally completely unraveled the mysteries of the magical shell stabilizing space, and quantified and datafied it, forming a witchcraft theoretical foundation that can be understood and applied.

Next, not only can he develop brand new spatial magic based on this model.

More importantly, he can apply its core principles to improve Space Distortion, that unstable destructive force!

The reality matched Jeming’s expectations.

With solid spatial knowledge and the guidance of this key model, Jeming successfully constructed two brand-new spatial magic models in less than a month.

The first is named [Space Stabilization].

As its name suggests, it can form a stable space in a designated area.

Though it may not show much power when used alone, if confronting enemies skilled in spatial attacks or preventing them from using space teleportation skills to escape, this invisible barrier becomes the most solid shield and effective cage.

The second model mimics the advanced application of Mutated Spider Snake’s concealment ability: [Phase Space].

The effect of this magic is actually quite simple; it can temporarily separate the space at the target area from the main space, creating a temporary parallel phase space.

Jeming enthusiastically ran to the testing zone in the laboratory to conduct preliminary tests.

After casting [Phase Space], Jeming used [Space Stabilization] to stabilize the space he was in and hid between the gaps of the two spaces.
