The Wizard's Pursuit of Truth

'Selecting three targets for analysis means splitting my processing power evenly. The analysis time will be standard, which means it will be a rather lengthy process.'

The smile that played on Wang Ya's lips revealed his current mood.

Inside the Level 2 Laboratory, as Energy was injected, the various Wizard Instruments began to activate.

Wang Ya had the Tower Spirit teleport an item from the cold storage chamber.

Soon, a glass case about the size of a watermelon appeared on the workbench, radiating an icy-cold aura.

It was impossible to tell how long it had been in cold storage. A thick layer of ice caked its surface.

This was the very thing Wang Ya had never dared to handle—the Evil God's Heart!

The Magic Plant Gendas fusion experiment was also reaching its final stage. After numerous tests confirmed the feasibility of mutation, Wang Ya used his Wizard Cultivation methods to fuse multiple sub-bodies into a single, mutated Magical Plant core.

The best way to influence a plant is through grafting. This was precisely the method Wang Ya used, and just as he had anticipated, it was proving remarkably effective.

Having just emerged from seclusion, Wang Ya wasn't yet sure what level the Blood-sucking King Vine's transformation had reached.

The feedback from his Consciousness Brand had remained stable the entire time.

Harak's Dream Infinite Genome fusion experiment was nearly a success; all that remained was to wait for the transformation to complete.

As a result, Wang Ya had to consider a great many more things—namely, the future!

He had to plan ahead for his own Wizard Path, for Harak, and for the future advancements of the Blood-sucking King Vine.

The Evil God's Heart had become an inextricable part of Wang Ya's journey. So many of his current achievements were tied to it.

Gundas' Dog was completely gone, but a fair amount of Gendas Flesh remained. He had tried cultivating it, but it was no longer sufficient for his current needs.

He had learned all he could learn and seen all there was to see from it.

He now needed more of the unknown.

The Evil God's Heart still contained unknowns—things that Wang Ya did not understand.

The essence of being a Wizard was to explore the unknown. Wang Ya had a premonition that his research on the Evil God's Heart might lead to an unexpected harvest.

And now, he finally had the Ability to work on the Evil God's Heart.

The transformation of his Eye of Truth provided a timely boost, which was what truly cemented Wang Ya's resolve.

As for his current Wizard Experiments, the only one remaining was his research into the transformation of Particle Energy properties. That, however, didn't require much consideration for now.

It had taken the White Bone Wizard one or two hundred years just to create the White Bone Particle Energy.

Wang Ya's goal wasn't merely to master an existing Special Particle Energy. He aimed to research, discover, and ultimately create a new one that was entirely his own.

One could only imagine the time this would take. It was a true long-term endeavor, a testament to the fact that Elemental Wizards only grew stronger with age.

As the outer layer of ice thawed, the contents within were reflected in Wang Ya's pupils.

His pupils contracted sharply. The state of this Evil God's Heart looked no different than before. When the temperature dipped slightly, some of its tentacles even began to tremble instinctively.

'It's been almost twenty years, and this thing can still maintain its original substance and activity.'

Wang Ya was at a loss for words. 'As expected of something suspected to be from an Evil God's true body.'

'It could also be an Evil God Origin…' After absorbing the knowledge from every book on the second floor of the Lower House Library, Wang Ya's perceptive abilities had become frighteningly sharp.

The mysterious veil surrounding beings like Evil Gods was gradually lifting before his eyes.

'There's nothing to be afraid of.'

'On the operating table, all life is equal.'

Wang Ya licked his lips, his hands clenching in excitement. 'Dissecting an Evil God… now *that* would be a truly thrilling event for any Wizard.'

The exact circumstances, the balance between the illusory and the real, the secrets of the Evil God Origin... all of it was waiting for him to analyze, piece by piece, with his own two hands.

If he could uncover the essential balance between the illusory and the real within the Evil God's Heart, and from it, grasp a similar balance for himself, then the path to becoming an Official Wizard would be thrown wide open before him. It would be like forcibly carving out a shortcut.

The ice melted completely, sending water vapor billowing into the air. The Crimson Heart within regained some of its activity, its color shifting from a cold Gray back to a vivid crimson.

Wang Ya reached out his right hand and dispelled the Witch Array Technique sealing it.

The next moment, a crisp throb echoed from the Crimson Heart. A terrifying blast of Spiritual Power erupted from it, instantly overwhelming Wang Ya.

Meanwhile, in an unknown underground palace, upon a towering Altar, a lifelike canine sculpture stirred. Fleshy tendrils writhed violently as the excited roar of Gendas echoed, "BARK! BARK! BARK! I've found you, the thief who stole my Origin! Even if it means consuming the last shred of my consciousness left on that thing, I will destroy you!"

Faced with this sudden turn of events, a strange smile crept across Wang Ya's face.
