(w for today, seeking monthly votes~)_2 “Yes and no.”

Ian knew that Adalbert definitely did not want to restart the Deceased Monarch technology that destroyed the Avak Domain, but his goal was never the Deceased Monarch: “I scoff at the design philosophy of the Deceased Monarch, treating everyone’s souls as components to assemble the strong, making people become subordinate to others, it’s simply a blind struggle in the most desperate times.”

“This kind of foolish act, a waste of the future of Humans, is exactly why the Duke of Solin is not sufficient to reach the Fifth Energy Level.”

Ian mercilessly criticized the Duke of Solin: “But his technology is very useful—everyone has a soul, and each soul has a specific pattern, which can correspond to various needs and effects…

There’s a lot that can be done with this.”

“I will gradually prove to you the superiority of this path in the future, but for now…”

Sensing that Adalbert was still somewhat cautious, Ian couldn’t help but sigh: “Indeed, I still need to show you something concrete.”

The young man lifted his hand, the Dual Origin of Water and Soil intertwining and spinning in his palm, forming a blue-brown double vortex.

Centered on him, all natural origins in the surrounding space gathered from all directions, with fine streams of light and flashes of lightning flowing and trembling within.

Even Adalbert couldn’t control the flow of essence around him at this moment; his eyes widened, showing an incredulous expression.

Although the young researcher wasn’t good at combat, under the enhancement of the Deceased Monarch, he possessed the strength of a Third Energy Level expert, at least in terms of basic qualities…

But even he, once Ian took the initiative, was actually unable to mobilize the natural origins around him?

Could this mean…

“You’re close to the Third Energy Level?!”

Adalbert instinctively lowered his voice, his shock beyond words, but Ian’s expression was utterly unperturbed: “Of course, I have already prepared half of the materials required.”

Indeed that was the case.

The Third Energy Level ‘Lord of Stone’ at the Unyielding Fortress, emphasizes ‘control over nature and origins.’

In this level, Ian will experience his first area attack ability.

Essentially, it is still throwing stones…

but the power of the Lord of Stone is definitely not just throwing stones; the ‘Essence Manipulation Ability,’ ‘Material Manipulation Ability,’ and ‘Essence Domain’ it provides are some of the most core powers of the Third Energy Level.

As the name implies, the Lord of Stone can control the majority of inorganic materials in the material realm, using them as his armor and armament.

Within his domain, he can even raise a tower and defenses out of nowhere, instantly creating an army of rock puppets, achieving one person as a lord, one person as an army.

Used for infrastructure, it can also directly raise a stone foundation at the speed of light, but more refined structures like buildings might still need to be specifically set.

Of course, this also depends on one’s preference; as Hiliard left for Ian in his path, it all depends on the imagination of the Lord of Stone himself—originally it’s rock puppets, but if powerful enough and the soul can handle the load, then why not an army of stone-armored troops?

Moreover, if this power is used to strengthen oneself, it’s entirely possible to use the Heart Light Body to condense an extremely large giant Armor Suit, transforming into Titan, and crushing the land.

Such formidable ability comes at the cost of extremely expensive materials.

The Lord of Stone requires four main materials.

Of these, a large amount of ‘Moren Steel,’ a spirit metal capable of shaping Spirit Quality Nerve Networks, is essential.

The other materials are more flexible.

For example, a type of Sublimated Metal that is tough enough to support immense essence pressure as the core material for organs.

A Third Energy Level dragon type Magical Beast organ controller like the ‘Sandstorm Dragon,’ capable of controlling sand and rock, and even some iron sand metals—Fluorite Dragon would also do, which Hiliard himself used, but according to him, he somewhat regrets it because though the Fluorite Dragon is strong, it’s also too heavy, limiting many subsequent organ modifications and causing mobility issues.

Ian felt that indeed there needs to be some adjustments, with his Seer’s Ability, he is fully capable of fine-tuning the Magic Potion for the Lord of Stone to make it even more perfect.

And the fourth material specified a special Spirit Substance treasure, also a material very familiar to Ian.

[Earth Pulse Source Crystal]

The rarity of Moren Steel, comparable to Third Energy Level Magical Beast Materials, has a very high malleability.

But Ian already had it—his Crystal arm is essentially an embodiment of Aether Crystal carried by Moren Steel, fused with Ian’s Body, so deeply integrated that it even eliminates the need for Magic Potion.

As for the metals at the Third Energy Level…

not to mention, materials like Heavy Abyss Iron from the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword, or even Finegold Mithril could count.

If all else fails, Ian would directly return to the South Sea Great Labyrinth to dismantle, risking some low-value relics, it could always be obtained.

This is the effect of profound accumulation—Ian’s Second Energy Level still required purchases and preparation, but by the Third Energy Level, Ian had already resolved half of the material sources.

By the time he reached the Fourth Energy Level, Ian wouldn’t even need the Demi-Magic Potion; he could directly achieve Domain of Extremes with Aether Crystal!

As for the Fifth Energy Level…

with the hardest core organs already obtained, Ian’s subsequent advancement would only become smoother and smoother.
