The moment Ian passed through "World Gate", he was keenly aware of something strange.
He stopped, closed his eyes, let his essence Divine Power spread out, and felt everything in this strange space.
"There's... magic in the air?" he whispered to himself.
That energy is extremely weak and almost undetectable, but it does exist.
Ian frowned. "Did I really travel to another world? But this went too smoothly."
He raised his wand and whispered, "Incendio--Incendio."
The tip of the wand flashed with light, but the moment the flame rose, it automatically absorbed the surrounding magic power, and its volume increased by about 20%.
Ian squinted his eyes and tried several spells from different factions one after another - including Dark Magic.
The result is without exception: the magic in the surrounding environment is passively involved, significantly increasing the power of all spells.
"So that's it." He murmured, "An environment with the presence of external magic can double the wizard's spell casting efficiency."
Later, he tried the Dragon Language spell. "Difei--Difei."
The flames erupted again, this time the growth was even more exaggerated.
"Sure enough, Dragon Tongue Magic is more efficient in this environment." He concluded thoughtfully, "It seems that the resonance frequency between Dragon Tongue Magic and the external magic power is higher, and it is more suitable for this system than ordinary language spells."
After the experiment, Ian raised his hand to open World Gate, and Apparition reached the moon.
There are still familiar rock formations under his feet, indicating that he is still within the earth system.
"At least I can be sure that I traveled to a parallel world on Earth."
He said in a deep voice, then leaned down, dug a deep pit on the moon, and placed World Gate in it.
"Morgana, enter stealth mode."
"Confirm the order." As the mechanical female voice sounded, the huge World Gate gradually disappeared into the air.
Ian looked up at the boundless universe and fell into deep thought.
"I can't always hide it on the moon. Some worlds may not have a moon at all, or they may have been colonized by intelligent races. The most ideal solution is to hide it in a completely independent dimension. That space only belongs to me."
He thought and added, "If World Gate can be bound to my soul, when I encounter a crisis, it can pull out my soul and I can resurrect by simply reshaping my body."
He sighed, "Okay, I'll put this research on the list first."
After that, he Apparition returned to Earth and began to collect information about this world.
He read a lot of wizards' and Muggles's memories, and the result made him slightly startled.
"As expected, I couldn't travel to the future... but it seems that I can move between different parallel universes."
His eyes became deep, "The timeline of this world is in the late tenth century - the time when Hogwarts and four Founders were still in the world."
He continued to flip through the memory fragments, his expression gradually becoming complicated.
"But the history here is different. Gryffindor and Slytherin are enemies of life and death. They have never cooperated to establish Hogwarts. Wizarding World's pattern is completely different..."
Ian smiled, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
"Interesting. It seems that I am going to see these 'Founders' in person - but before that, I have to study the magical ecology of this world."
He came to the nearest Leyline Nodes.
The concentration of magic power under his feet was obviously higher than that in other places, but instead of being released as he expected, it was slowly absorbing the surrounding energy.
"I see," he said solemnly, "This is Source--Leyline Nodes, whose magic power has been exhausted in my era, absorbing magic power in reverse."
He continuously inspected multiple nodes and the results were the same.
"I understand... the flow of magic has been completely reversed."
Disappointed, he looked up at the forest in the distance.
The towering trees glowed with a bluish luster under the light, and every leaf exuded a strong breath of life.
"Because they are nourished by magic, the plants of this era are much healthier than those of our time."
He stared quietly, and suddenly an idea flashed. "Wait a minute... If you can create a plant that actively absorbs magic power from the earth's veins and releases magic power into the air through photosynthesis - wouldn't it be possible to rebuild the magic power ecology?"
Ian became more and more excited as he thought about it, muttering to himself, "I can call it 'Magic Tree'. As long as they are planted around the world, the magic of the world can flow again."
He took out his notebook and quickly recorded his inspiration.
"There are many ways to artificially cultivate magic plants in Herbology. If that doesn't work, I still have genetic engineering technology. After all, I have obtained enough scientific and technological knowledge from my future self."
Ian closed the note and showed a smile, "Magic and science will eventually Fusion. rebuild the magic world from now on."
He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and his expression changed.
In the air, there is a faint trace of the aftermath of space-time energy remaining.
"Has anyone been here?" He frowned slightly and raised his hand to move in the air.
He tore a crack in the texture of time and space, and he saw an afterimage - that of a woman with black hair and pale hair, coughing up a mouthful of dark red blood.
"... This fluctuation is not like that of an ordinary wizard."
Ian whispered, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
"It seems that this world is not peaceful either."
