Some people, like Maier, even moved directly to the laboratory during this period.
Now Jiuzhou Territory had developed several high-level knowledge branches, and the alchemist was simply learning like crazy, completely immersed in his research.
Toji Hisami himself only had the opportunity to study after he was admitted to the Holy Academy.
In the Jiuzhou Territory at night, in addition to the light of torches, there were many places with dense starlight.
That was the balance energy well. After the territory expanded, it was immediately covered across the entire territory.
The equilibrium place that Toji Hisami bought at the auction had already been activated and arranged.
When the balance coefficient of his territory reached within plus or minus one, the efficiency of the entire territory would increase.
With the effect of territorial balancing and the abilities brought by the original knowledge, the territorial population would begin to explode.
Seeing this situation, Toji Hisami calmed down.
Suddenly, he remembered a gadget he had bought at an auction.
[World Hall Illusion Stone]
Toji Hisami took out an oval-shaped stone. The surface of the stone was glowing with starlight, like a star.
It was very similar to the aura exuded by the Phantom Star suit on him.
"Lyra, you said that I have already tried world evolution once. Is there any chance I can use this thing again now?"
Lyra walked over and looked at the illusion stone in Toji Hisami’s hand.
She knew what Toji Hisami meant by opportunity.
It was the opportunity to enter the World Palace by triggering the Illusion Stone, which was so low that it was almost negligible.
The reason why this stone was valuable was that it was related to the World Palace.
However, the price was so cheap, which showed how low the probability of it being triggered was.
If there were a chance of more than 5%, the price would be estimated to increase many times over.
"I don’t know. The three major palaces are the most mysterious places in the world."
"I think you can give it a try. After all, you have already gained some insights."
The purple-haired beauty answered honestly.
This was different from when Toji Hisami had noticed the travel notes left by the first dean in the library.
At that time, due to the age of the notes, the records about the Hall of Knowledge had tended to disappear.
Naturally, its passive forgetfulness characteristics also weakened.
So Toji Hisami was able to see the travel notes by chance.
And this stone, in Lyra’s view, was at best tainted with the atmosphere of some world palace.
We don’t even know how it was born. It’s easy to imagine how difficult it is to enter the World Hall just by relying on this.
But she knew that when Toji Hisami took it out at this time, he must have wanted to try it.
If you don’t give it a try, who knows if it will work.
When Toji Hisami was at the auction, if he hadn’t insisted on giving it a try, where would the situation be today?
Toji Hisami was not surprised when he heard Lyra’s answer.
He smiled, lifted the stone, and shook it hard.
The seemingly solid stone shattered into pieces, and the aura contained in the stone continued to escape, wrapping him up completely.
Lyra, as before, silently walked aside to protect Toji Hisami.
She gently pinched a little loli who was secretly hiding outside the wall of the Lord’s Palace.
Then she threw her outside, ignoring the little loli’s resentful voice.
Toji Hisami could no longer hear any movement from the outside world at this time.
He felt that his surroundings became dreamy, as if he were standing in the universe of stars.
It was the same as entering the world behind the curtain at the auction.
This quickly calmed him down.
An illusory, hazy, and huge palace suddenly appeared in front of him.
When you thought it was small, this palace really seemed very small, so small that your finger was bigger than it.
But when you thought it was big, it was like a huge sun that you couldn’t even see to the side!
In this way, the strange conflicts blended together naturally, making no one feel strange at all.
Toji Hisami felt awe-struck, knowing that this was the illusion of the World Palace.
The original function of the Illusion Stone was to make people look up at this palace to see if they could comprehend anything.
However, Toji Hisami’s goal was not merely this.
Although he couldn’t see his body, he just took a step forward.
After taking this step out, the surrounding illusion suddenly trembled violently, as if someone had stretched their feet into a lake, causing ripples.
If the movement were any bigger, the illusion would dissipate immediately, and the effect of the illusion stone would disappear.
During this turmoil, no extra breath flowed out at all.
It made people wonder whether the Illusion Stone truly made it possible for people to enter the World Palace.
Toji Hisami’s footsteps did not stop; he took another step.
With this step, he suddenly arrived in front of the distorted illusion of the World Palace.
Just like when he had entered the dimension fragments.
Seeing the illusion twisting and accelerating, parts of the outside world had begun to appear.
Toji Hisami’s eyes even met Lyra’s, who was guarding him, and they both saw each other.
At this point, it could actually be declared that this attempt had failed.
But for some reason, Toji Hisami suddenly felt blessed.
From the depths of his soul, a throbbing from the origin appeared silently.
Toji Hisami seemed to have returned to the fragmented world he was in when he was at the auction.
The whole world was evolving at an extremely fast speed.
He hadn’t understood it at the time, but now he realized that the dimension fragment world at that time really had almost collapsed.
At the moment when the fragmented world was in turmoil, the ancient and prehistoric aura disappeared in a flash.
That was the breath of the origin of the world.
Human beings have origins.
The world also has its origin.
The origins are interoperable, compatible with each other, and mutually reinforcing.
When you understand the origin of yourself, you are actually close to the origin of the world.
The necklace hanging on his chest glowed faintly.
The illusion that was about to be shattered was suddenly frozen.
From the outside, Lyra was already ready to welcome Toji Hisami back, but her eyes suddenly froze.
Her red lips couldn’t help opening slightly, with a surprised expression on her face.
At this moment, her world mark from the soul world trembled slightly.
In the torn world of illusions, Toji Hisami felt the fluctuations coming from Lyra, and he raised his hand along with the fluctuations.
A hard touch appeared on his hand, and Toji Hisami smiled immediately.
Raising his other hand, Toji Hisami raised his hands in front of him and pushed hard!
Boom!
Starlight burst forth!
Lyra was shocked to find that Toji Hisami disappeared in front of her after this push.
The Illusion Stone really gave people the opportunity to enter the palace of the world!
But this opportunity did not lie in the so-called aura it contained!
Rather, it lay in the phantom of the World Palace it displayed!
This world possessed transcendent power.
All projections of transcendent things must have the projection power area of the ontology.
Like a divine weapon, it exists due to the projection of divine power.
As one of the three major palaces, the World Palace itself was the supreme existence.
Without the projection of its power, how could the illusion of the World Palace be shown?
By grasping the connection of power projection hidden within it, one could find the path to enter the World Palace.
Lyra’s own fluctuations from the soul world had just demonstrated to Toji Hisami how the path transmitted power.
So at that moment, Toji Hisami adjusted his own fluctuations to the detected frequency, placing his hands directly against the phantom surface of the palace door.
Push the door, enter—everything was so logical.
The surrounding space folded and compressed around him like shifting starlight, drawing his consciousness beyond the mortal domain.
Lyra understood what had just happened in a short period of time.
Precisely because she realized the sheer improbability of it, her expression remained one of absolute astonishment.
This amazing understanding, the accuracy of grasping the fleeting opportunity, and the decisiveness when the opportunity arose—all of it defied convention.
No matter what, Toji Hisami had shown a level of comprehension far beyond others.
Lyra even believed that Toji Hisami would still be ranked among the absolute top figures even if he didn’t possess the incredible talent granted by heaven’s reward.
Such a person had no possibility of failure.
Standing alone in the quiet meeting hall, she looked up toward the vast night sky with a deep, complex gaze.
"The soul world asked me to follow you. Could it be because of this..."
She murmured softly, her thoughts drifting across the starlit expanse toward the distant, legendary realm of souls.
