Chapter 299: Constructing the Sea of Domains and Elements!

"Go get some more magic crystals!" Dennis said with a serious expression.

Kevin immediately complied. Alongside a dozen scholarly wizards, they swiftly brought crates of magic crystals as instructed by Dennis, placing them at various core points of the formation. Then Kevin asked further, "Master, what's happening? Is there some issue with this advancement ritual?"

Seeing the magical energy in the formation's center rapidly increasing, even Kevin, who wasn't adept in alchemy, sensed something amiss.

"Normally, this shouldn't require this much magic," Dennis pondered. "In the past seventy years, over ten grand wizards ascended through the Elemental Sight. Even in failure, such a situation has never occurred..." Dennis was perplexed. After a long pause, he spoke again, "But there are too few relevant examples. Everyone's talents, strengths, and constructed domains differ. My assumptions might not be accurate. All we can do now is wait."

Kevin anxiously gazed at the figure in the center of the alchemy array, hoping for smooth progress, feeling helpless otherwise.

Meanwhile, Lynn, bothered by Kevin's concerns, focused entirely on manipulating the alchemy formation. A massive influx of magic continuously poured into his body, significantly enhancing his mental strength under the array's influence.

Initially, his mental reach spanned about three meters around him, controlling elements within that range. Now, empowered by the alchemy formation, it expanded by more than tenfold.

The crux of ascending to a grand wizard lay in two aspects: breaking through in mental strength and constructing a small domain.

Within this domain, all elements were composed of magical energy. Grand wizards could easily manipulate and transform them, even creating vacuums with a mere gesture.

This bestowed grand wizards with immense control over formal wizards because all elements within the domain were under their command. It meant opponents couldn't directly access any elements in the air as assistance, yet dangers could arise from anywhere within the domain.

Lynn continually narrowed his mental reach, from enveloping the entire alchemy formation to distances of twenty, eighteen, fifteen meters...

Various elements present in the air became clearer to his perception. Though he couldn't directly see their forms, manipulating them became significantly easier.

When his mental reach reached approximately twelve meters around him, Lynn felt it was sufficient and paused. Then, he delved into the vast expanse of his conscious space.

Everything here was dark and void.

Yet within this void, faint glimmers of light emerged, akin to dazzling stars in a night sky—each representing a spell slot.

This was the embryonic form of a wizard's constructed domain, or rather, the outer projection of the domain within the conscious space...

Now, he needed to establish his own Sea of Elements, replacing external elements, and stabilize the entire domain, a crucial step in becoming a grand wizard.

With a thought, two dots appeared in the void of consciousness—hydrogen and oxygen elements! They were the two elements Lynn had used and encountered the most since his traversal. Following swiftly were nitrogen, phosphorus, fluorine, helium... More and more elements emerged in his consciousness, replicating incessantly like organized cells, soon filling every corner of the conscious space.

After condensing about a dozen basic elements, Lynn progressed to metal elements like copper, iron, aluminum...

This was Lynn's first attempt to transmute magical energy into metal elements without relying on an AI, an incredibly arduous process taking nearly ten times longer than producing other elements.

Fortunately, Lynn had previously recorded the processes using Advanced Material Deconstruction, so after some effort, he managed to mimic and fabricate nine common metal elements.

At this moment, the Sea of Elements had taken shape, showcasing a total of forty-nine elements. They were treasures of the magical world, crystallized from numerous wizards' explorations of the natural world. Yet, Lynn wasn't planning to stop there.

Leveraging the concurrent ascension and the alchemy array beneath his feet, Lynn aimed to further refine the Sea of Elements.

The prerequisite for a wizard to manipulate and mimic an element was using Material Deconstruction to fully analyze it. But could this process be reversed?

After understanding an element's model, could one skip the search and analysis process, directly mimicking it using magic?

This was undoubtedly a wild idea...

If feasible, theoretically, he could fabricate any element from the periodic table!

At that point, not just crafting a nuclear bomb by hand, but conjuring an antimatter bomb wouldn't be out of reach.

Thinking so, Lynn eagerly began his experiment, targeting the element "plutonium"!

Plutonium, a radioactive element crucial in atomic energy industries, serving as nuclear fuel and a fissile material in nuclear weapons, was extremely scarce in nature, usually separated from uranium ore.

Directly extracting federal research data on "plutonium" from his AI, Lynn attempted to replicate it using magic.

"The outer electron count and proton count for 'plutonium' element are 94, neutron count is 145, relative atomic mass is..."

Murmuring softly, Lynn watched specks of magical light shimmer within his conscious space, witnessing the gradual formation of a new element.

Everything occurring within his conscious space also projected into the steadily solidifying domain, consuming vast amounts of magical energy, being constantly transformed into various elements.

Finally understanding why the consumption of magic crystals was so staggering, Dennis murmured, "Ordinarily, the preliminary domain covers around five meters. But Lynn's embryonic domain has already surpassed ten meters."

Not only that, Lynn had created forty-nine elements to enrich the Sea of Elements. Was he attempting to achieve everything at once?

It was reckless. Stabilizing the domain and completing the ascension were the top priorities. Building the Sea of Elements could have been a gradual process!

Shaking his head, Dennis halted abruptly, his expression freezing as he stared at the center of the alchemy formation. He sensed a new force gradually forming, astonished as he uttered, "This is... a new element?!"
