After changing rooms, filling out several forms, and signing a contract, Dole officially became a member of the Potion Studies Association under Unwounded City's Professional Association.
One benefit of becoming a member was that he could live in accommodations arranged by the association. Behind the Professional Association stood the Wizard Tower complex of the Imperial Association Alliance. Dole was assigned a private laboratory in the Sacred Hand Tower.
That was the treatment afforded to a Level Seven apothecary.
Once all the procedures were completed, Dole met many people and saw many things that could not be found in Elfa World. He found it all quite novel.
A greater world truly was a greater world.
Through his observations over this recent period, he had come to understand that spatial laws in the greater world were comparatively powerful, causing all other laws to become indistinct. Comprehending them was far more difficult than in lower worlds. Thus, although the greater world had such a vast population, it did not possess as many high-level powers as one might imagine. There were still huge numbers of low-level professionals. Though many people possessed Level One power upon reaching adulthood, nearly ninety percent of them remained stuck at Level Six, unable to advance further.
What puzzled him was that in the greater world, there was no heavenly tribulation when advancing from Level Six to Level Seven. He could guess why: there was likely no world will. The world will might already have transformed into a divine spark, leaving it unable to send down lightning tribulations.
Therefore, in higher worlds, Level Sevens could still rule as kings, and Level Eights could still act with domineering arrogance. But one had to be careful upon reaching Level Nine, because a god might set its sights on them at any moment.
