[Please be advised!!!

Early stage: Academy + Tycoon style.

Mid stage: Wizard Lord + Farming style.

[Thirty-two thousand nine hundred and eighty-eight years ago.

The "top-tier medium plane cluster of the Sanctuary" was developed to its peak by wizards and knights.

Faced with the shackles of cultivation realms caused by world limitations, and the internal conflicts that would sooner or later erupt due to the visible lack of resources.

Thus,

The "Great Expansion Era" was born under the leadership of the top powerhouses of the Sanctuary, and under the guidance of several powerful,

Level 7 "True Spirit Wizards" and Level 7 "Holy Dragon Knights,"

It lasted for thirty thousand years, conquering countless planes.

History calls it—

The Great Expansion Era favored by fate.]

Seeing this,

Wayne gently set down the ancient paper in his hand and slumped back, relaxing his entire body.

"Whew~

No matter how many times I read it, it remains just as shocking."

As everyone knows,

The fewer the words, the bigger the event, like "The six kings ended, the four seas united."

Everyone knows who that refers to.

And placed in this different world of swords and magic,

The same logic naturally applies.

Through that brief description, Wayne seemed to see the blood and fire of thirty thousand years of warfare,

Or to put it briefly.

A "meat grinder."

Fortunately, however, the Great Expansion Era had already ended,

Now is the "Age of Great Development,"

And today is,

The year 33,000 of the Sanctuary Calendar.

It is also the twelfth year since Wayne came to this different world,

That's right,

He is a transmigrator,

Thinking back to his past life, he was just an ordinary person on the blue planet, scrolling through Douyin, when a daydream multiple-choice question appeared.

"If you were to transmigrate, which of the following would you choose as your golden finger?"

(Choose one of five)

1. Immortality: You can live forever without any external forces.

2. Infinite Slots: Every time you break through a realm, you unlock a slot; place any item inside to achieve infinity. (Example: Gold*)

3. Teleportation: Wherever the eye can see, the body can reach.

4. Heal Everything: With this, any injury is no longer a nightmare for you.

5. Pay-to-Win Gacha System: Haha, lucky or unlucky, you know how it goes!

Faced with the five choices,

He had originally intended to just laugh it off, but looking up, the sky outside was clear and sunny,

Tsk tsk,

It was a perfect day for daydreaming,

So he chose with a playful attitude.

However, Wayne wasn't in a hurry,

He opened the comment section,

It was filled with people choosing option four, the "soft rice" style,

All kinds of fantasies,

Even though Wayne was in "Great Sage" mode at the time, he still stood up, but fortunately,

Sage mode,

Still in its cooldown state, it forced Wayne to snap out of it, and he began to think seriously.

These few golden fingers,

To someone like him who loved reading novels, were not very unfamiliar.

Number one—the longevity and survival path.

Number three—the wild and reckless path.

Number four—the soft rice path.

As for number five, Wayne didn't even glance at it; after all, he knew his own luck best.

He was the type of person who would bite his own lip while eating,

He didn't expect himself to have such good luck, and most importantly, what if he transmigrated to a non-magical parallel world?

He wasn't confident he could earn that much money.

Back to the point,

The choice that satisfied Wayne the most, or rather, the one his terrifyingly rational brain chose while in sage mode,

Was choice number two.

It wasn't the heaven-defying infinite grid that attracted him, but rather the hidden side he saw,

Which was,

One extra grid for every level gained.

This meant that if he transmigrated, it would certainly be a world where one could cultivate.

Tsk tsk,

It was equivalent to finding a cheat in a game, so without a doubt, Wayne opened the comment section and selected choice number two.

Just after commenting,

His vision went black, and his consciousness began to dissipate; at that moment, only one thought remained in his mind.

"This blogger has some real skills. Once I become a sovereign and return to Blue Star,

I will reward him handsomely!"

The result was obvious; he had transmigrated,

And it was a rebirth.

The world he transmigrated to was the Sanctuary World, a paradise for wizards and knights.

Dragons soared through the sky,

Elves roamed the lands; this was a world of sword and magic.

And the place where he resided,

Was one of the four great continents,

—The Myriad Clans Continent.

Twelve years since his birth, he had gained a basic... well,

To be precise, a little bit of understanding of the Myriad Clans Continent where he lived.

The Myriad Clans Continent, as the name suggested, was where ten thousand clans gathered.

For example, Goblins,

Centaurs, the Troll Clan, and others all converged here.

However, this was not what surprised him the most.

What surprised him the most,

Was the sheer vastness of this world.

Taking the Atlantis Empire where he lived as an example,

Using the capital at the center of the Atlantis Empire as a point, its territory covered about 52 billion square kilometers.

Even if Earth were flattened out,

Turning into a flat, square world, its surface area would only be about 510 million square kilometers; one could imagine the disparity.

Yet even so,

Such a vast Atlantis Empire only occupied one percent of the Myriad Clans Continent,

And this proportion was still constantly shrinking.

That's right,

You heard that correctly.

It was constantly shrinking,

because the Myriad Clans Continent was still expanding outward.

"Young Master, it is time to eat."

The voice pulled Wayne from his memories back into reality.

Wayne lay on his chair,

turning his head to look in the direction the voice came from.

He saw a golden-haired old man,

looking at him with kind eyes.

"I am coming right away, Grandpa Zoltan."

After saying this,

Wayne stood up.

A moment later,

Wayne sat at the dining table in the living room, eating bread and drinking milk.

As for Butler Zoltan,

he stood to one side.

"Young Master, tomorrow is the day of the Tower of Truth test.

You must wake up early tomorrow.

I believe the Master and Mistress will watch over you, and you will manifest unparalleled talent."

Hearing this,

Wayne froze for a brief moment, then nodded. He thought of his family in this life.

In this life,

his father and mother were commoners who tested for high-level talent, studied at the Tower of Truth,

and eventually fell in love.

Neither of them had a surname, which was why he was called Wayne.

The rest of the story was cliché.

The place where he currently lived was called Rose Territory, or rather, the central city of Rose Territory,

"Rose City."

The master of Rose Territory was the Rose Marquis, Anne Hathaway.

She was not only a "Level 5 Full Moon" lord wizard,

but also a marquis enfeoffed by the Atlantis Empire.

People called her the "Rose Marquis."

In this current Age of Great Development, "lord wizards" were the protagonists.

His father was a knight,

and his mother was a metal-element wizard.

Upon graduating from the Sanctuary Knight Academy and the Elemental Academy of the Tower of Truth,

they were recruited by the Rose Marquis into Rose Territory. Then, when Wayne was ten years old,

they died during the pioneering period.

From that point on, Wayne became an orphan.

Fortunately, both of them were transcendents, and they left behind an inheritance.

Coupled with the fact that the Rose Marquis

provided preferential care for the descendants of the meritorious, he had no worries.

He had never been mistreated either.

At first, he had suspected some sort of conspiracy, since when he read novels in his past life,

the tropes were always like that.

However, after observing, he realized there was no such nonsense, because the descendants of the meritorious living in this area

were numerous.

They were considered the lucky ones, having the protection of the Rose Marquis.

Tsk tsk,

the descendants of the knights and wizards recruited by other academies had it much worse. Although they were not abused,

But that was limited to just having enough to eat.

They had nothing like the affluent lifestyle Wayne and his peers enjoyed, where they could go and eat whatever they wanted for all three meals a day.

They simply had to report to the Rose Council Hall to collect it.

As long as one did not go overboard, any request within reason would be satisfied.

As for why they were treated this way?

The reason could be summed up in a single sentence.

"The higher the talent of the parents as transcendentals, the greater the probability that their offspring will be born with high-level talent."

Not to mention,

the parents of these descendants of Xun Lie living in this area were all graduates of the Sanctuary and Truth Tower Academy.

Anyone capable of entering the Tower of Truth,

possessed at the very minimum a High-Level Primary Talent, without a doubt.

Their offspring were a treasure trove.
