"It's really fascinating," Rowena said. Ian finally came to his senses and realized that there were other people around. He looked around and could feel that a long time had passed.

"How long have you been writing?"

"It's been two weeks."

"It's been so long? How is the current war situation?"

"Everything is under control," Rowena replied while looking at the brand new model that Ian had just launched. She had also studied Rune Mathematics in depth, so she was fully able to keep up with his profound deduction ideas.

"That's good," Ian breathed a sigh of relief. Then he returned his attention to the model. "What do you think of this model?"

"With this extremely optimized version, it should be much easier to draw the star map of all the planes in the Astral Realm. However, it will still take an extremely long time. Not to mention the final calculation of the exact coordinates of other universes."

"I know it well. Therefore, I will leave all the remaining heavy deduction work to Morgana."

"Are you going to hand over this newly upgraded model to Havika?"

"No. The ultimate secret about Omniverse can only be in the hands of our own family - at least for now."

"As you wish," she responded, and then continued to immerse herself in examining the vast sea of formulas. After a few minutes, she said, "There are some logical deviations in this part."

"Where?"

"When considering the trajectory of Void Annihilation Energy, you can optimize the equation like this." Rowena moved his fingertips slightly, sketching countless complicated Arcane Runes in mid-air. "Is this your recent research result?"

"Yes."

Ian nodded slightly, and then perfectly integrated and revised the optimization plan she presented into the original deduction. "This may help me further strengthen Floating City's foundation," Ian commented in a deep voice while looking at the final perfect formula.

"In addition, this grand model of Omniverse still has a long way to go before we can accurately calculate any unknown coordinates."

"Then continue to purchase coordinates from 'Akashic Records' and use them to complete this ultimate star map. Start with those low-dimensional and weak worlds that do not cost too much."

"This is a good idea. A better plan is that we can use the clone that is about to sneak into 'Main God Space' to secretly collect the coordinates of various worlds."

"You are too calculating."

"After experiencing the near-hemorrhaging price before, I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are."

Rowena shook his head helplessly, then turned and left. They had been taking turns to look after him, and it was her turn just now. Now that he has exited that deep selfless deduction state, she can go back and continue her research with peace of mind.

At the same time, Ian also has many other important matters waiting for him to deal with. The news of his return is still top secret, and the mountain of government affairs he has on hand is even more arduous. The model calculation he recently conducted was just a time squeezed out of his busy schedule.

Therefore, the first thing he did after leaving the laboratory was to check the situation of Draco Malfoy. Draco was hit by an extremely weird time curse. Ian was trapped in a "Death Coffin" designed by himself ". This piece of Divine Artifact can make the dying person enter a "Death Stasis" state of absolute stillness, thereby Infinity delaying the onset of aging or death.

The curse in Draco is extremely special. It actually has the terrifying ability to adapt and evolve. After invading the body, it deeply merged with the "venom of Kairos" lurking in Draco's body, and eventually mutated into an unsolvable curse of the law of time.

Ian became somewhat interested in this mutated curse, so he used Law of Thunder to forcibly peel it out of Draco's body, and let Megicula (Magicula) swallow it and absorb it completely.

"Your Majesty, the Great Archon..." Draco murmured weakly after waking up.

"You still need a period of rest to fully recover."

"Thank you for saving my life."

"No need to say more," Ian responded calmly, "My return needs to be kept strictly confidential for the time being, so keep your mouth shut."

"As you command, Your Majesty the Grand Consul."

Ian then left the ward and summoned Lucius and Narcissa to visit their sons. After returning to the depths of the palace, he immediately entered a deep state of meditation. Since he returned to the Empire across the endless sea of stars Since the Base Camp, he has been able to feel that something is crazily gestating and transforming deep in his Soul Dimension. He knows very well in his heart that it is his "True Name". Merlin once revealed this high-dimensional secret to him back then.

During the selfless time when he was concentrating on deducing the model of the universe, this long gestation process finally ushered in the final consummation.

[Ian·Tebaos·Rikerevis·Hanchi·Daigeneldale·Beandir·Dakchi·Bones]

'Is this my True Name?' Ian thought secretly in his heart. At the same time, the vast law information about True Name flooded into his mind. True Name is usually this long, or even longer. In high-dimensional law games, True Name has extremely far-reaching strategic significance.

After condensing True Name, his most well-known regular name was endowed with incredible power on the level of Law of Causality. From now on, as long as someone pronounces his regular name with a strong intention to pray or communicate with him, he will be able to sense the other person's existence in an instant - even if there are endless dimensions and plane barriers between them!

Ian slowly closed his eyes. In an instant, he clearly sensed that in the worlds he had traveled across borders, there were countless beings who were passing on his deeds and reputation. Although his current realm was not enough to cross dimensions to directly intervene or respond to these people, he could already capture the ripples of fate with great sensitivity.

What is even more shocking is that Ian realized that his supreme title as "Arcane Empire Supreme Archon" has begun to occupy some absolute weight in the laws of the universe, accumulating a kind of frightening Authority power. 'The so-called name of a god cannot be used in vain, it should refer to this kind of causal pressure that transcends the ordinary world.'

As long as he concentrates his thoughts highly, any creature below Seventh Tier in the multiverse, as long as his name is mentioned, cannot escape his law perception. If he is willing, he can even directly eavesdrop on the other party's conversation - this kind of eavesdropping With the blessing of Law of Causality, he can ignore many worldly magical soundproof barriers. Of course, not all barriers can be penetrated, but most conventional protection will be ineffective in front of his Authority.

"Let me test the other Authoritys this thing gave me," he whispered to himself. Then, he waved his hand and summoned a short, green creature with a pungent stench in the room: a low-level Gnome. This creature stared at Ian with turbid eyes full of greed and desire, and made bursts of unclear and harsh screams from its mouth.

Ian just glanced at it indifferently, and an invisible pressure suppressed the Gnome in place, unable to move. He declared condescendingly, "As True Name of Authority, I hereby give you Blessing, and give you the name of 'Loksha'." In an instant, a pure and dazzling white light burst out on the filthy body of Gnome! Under the baptism of the white light, its originally short body began to rise crazily, soaring to a terrifying height of 2.5 meters!

"He actually evolved directly into a great Gnome warrior," Ian's eyes moved slightly and he commented calmly.

"The great Overlord..." The monster that had completed its transformation knelt down on one knee with utmost respect and made a steady sound of surrender.

"Its intelligence level has leapt directly from the Chaos state of a six-year-old child to the standard of ordinary humans. The most incredible thing is that I did not detect any traces of the Mind Control Parademons curse in its soul and consciousness, but it has developed an absolute instinct to swear allegiance to me.

"However, as a price, just for forcibly catalyzing such a low-level Gnome, the magic and essence Divine Power reserves in my body have experienced a significant decline visible to the naked eye. From the perspective of the conversion rate of strategic resources, this kind of transaction is simply not cost-effective."

Ian was deep in thought while examining the big Gnome warrior. "It seems that the underlying logic of Naming Law is: the higher the target creature's intelligence and the nobler and more powerful its bloodline, the less likely it is that this ability to directly grant evolution will be minimal. However, this is an excellent means to raise an army of fanatical believers in a very short period of time.

"Have you awakened any magical talent?"

"Yes."

"Show me your power."

"As you wish, Overlord."

The big Gnome warrior took a deep breath, tensed his muscles, and then rushed forward like an arrow, so fast that it left an afterimage on the spot. "Its legs can automatically absorb the free magic power in the surrounding natural environment to stimulate the muscle fibers, thus bursting out at extremely high speed. Not bad."

Although this ability seems a bit mediocre, it is definitely a good change for the Gnome family, which has always been considered to have zero magic talent. Ian casually took this Gnome was sent to the Empire's legion for training. Later, he summoned different creatures again and began to conduct more in-depth tests on Authority, who was given a name and forcibly catalyzed evolution.

As he deduced, this Authority has almost minimal effect on humans or powerful creatures like dragons. But for those low-level creatures with low intelligence and weak blood, it has shown extremely high effectiveness. Despite this, Ian firmly believes that as long as he can continue to break through his own realm, one day, this will also be effective for them.

In addition, all the creatures that were given names and evolved by him, without exception, have awakened a kind of magical ability - some are good, some are bad. 'The condensation of True Name seems to give magic users some exclusive Authority that only Abyssal Demons and gods have.'

Gods can bestow many talents or gifts on individuals by descending Blessing. In addition, they can ignore distance and sense believers calling their god's name anytime and anywhere.

At the same time, the powerful Demons also owns True Name. When signing the contract, if those Demons do not use their own True Name, then the contract will have no applicability to them; this is one of the tricks they use to deceive others when signing the contract.

And this point also applies to Ian. As long as he does not use his True Name, the binding force of the contract law on him will be greatly reduced. Although it is not as completely ineffective as Demons, it is enough for him to forcibly resist the backlash of most contracts that are not bound by True Name.

Another ability is that if someone knows a True Name of a Demons, they can control it. However, if someone knows a True Name of a Ian, they can cause serious harm to it.

Ian slowly raised his palm, and a small flame burned out of thin air in his palm. Then, the flame suddenly increased in power by about 30%! "So, imprinting my True Name as Blessing in the spell can increase their power. This is quite interesting."

For Arcanist who owns "Arcane Spark", this increase can be said to be useless, or it can be considered that it further strengthens them.

After conducting several tests, he connected to communication with Olivia. "Is True Name a problem?"

All Seventh Tier Arcanist in the Empire have a True Name, making their previous contracts virtually useless.

"Not really. After discovering its power, we informed everyone who wanted to use 'Time Chamber' to advance that they needed to re-sign the contract. Most people agreed after realizing they might need our help in dealing with 'Kailos's Poison'. Some had to be threatened, while those who didn't cooperate were dealt with.

"Additionally, we will pass a law that all future Seventh Tier Arcanist must do the same."

Ian nodded. Re-signing the deed will not expose these people's True Name. It will only leave a mark indicating that the person used their True Name to sign the deed.

He chatted with Olivia for a while, and then continued to devote himself to his work.
