"Then what are you waiting for? Go to sleep and start inhaling. Anyway, with me here, he can't assimilate you."
Upon hearing Leo mention the possibility of pushing her Bloodline Power to its limit, resulting in the 100-meter form, Yaoyao couldn't wait to see what such a physique would look like.
"No, absorbing too much will lead to frequent disasters on the New Earth, and could even cause a huge catastrophe. We must be fully prepared before we start absorbing." Leo shook his head and refused. He couldn't give up on this matter, but only if he was prepared.
"Don't worry, I have a way to handle this," Yaoyao said confidently, patting her tummy.
"What can you do?" Leo looked at Yaoyao in surprise. He didn't have any good ideas, so what good ideas could Yaoyao have?
"Currently, there are over 13,000 Wizard Apprentice of intermediate or higher level in the Wizard World. As long as we control the number and avoid mass deaths, we can increase the number of Intermediate Wizard Apprentice to 50,000 to 70,000 within ten years. Am I right?" Yaoyao looked at Leo.
"That's right." Leo nodded.
"The next time you enter the Land of Rules, send all these Intermediate Wizard Apprentice back to New Earth and use them to deal with those natural disasters."
"Bringing in some more Gulu Beast, the two working together, will be enough to stabilize the world situation. Even if natural disasters occur, casualties will be minimized."
Leo's pupils focused. He had to admit that Yaoyao's method was indeed a good one, but the strength of the Intermediate Wizard Apprentice was a bit weak, and many might die if things went wrong!
"Not only that, I also discovered something else," Yaoyao whispered furtively in Leo's ear.
What did you discover?
"I've detected a faint energy in the atmosphere of the New Earth," Yaoyao whispered.
"Are you sure?" Leo asked Yaoyao with a serious expression, lowering his voice. This matter was no small thing.
"I'm certain that after those Wizard Apprentice died on the New Earth, the energy from their bodies dissipated into the air. Not enough people have died yet, so the energy concentration is extremely low; only I can sense it now," Yaoyao said quietly and seriously.
Seeing that Yaoyao didn't want to lie, Leo still found it unbelievable. The New Earth itself did not possess elemental energy, which meant that it did not produce energy.
There are many such planets in the universe. According to the wizard's records, even if such worlds briefly produce energy, they cannot be preserved and will quickly dissipate into the universe.
However, the energy here on the New Earth did not dissipate like in other worlds; instead, it participated in the operation of the world.
"Could this also be the reason for the awakening of World Consciousness?"
Leo pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a specific reason. He could only guess that it was related to himself and the World Consciousness.
After all, this planet has been in the hands of the Supreme Lord years, and humans have been here for over a thousand years, yet these changes have not occurred.
So many changes only occurred after I arrived.
Clearly, I am the variable that is changing this planet!
If the New Earth is able to retain energy and allow it to participate in the world's operation, the biggest reason is that the World Consciousness wants to develop towards an energy-based world, rather than a purely technological world.
World Consciousness is already changing the rules of the planet.
Leo pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Yaoyao, "How did you discover that the energy of Wizard Apprentice remains in the world after death?"
Yaoyao: "???"
"If you tell me voluntarily, I might not pursue the matter. But if I find out, I'll send you back to the Wizard World." Leo's threat was blatant.
"Um... um, before you left, didn't a huge typhoon break out? You sent some Wizard Apprentice to participate in the training, and I went too... Then a little accident happened," Yaoyao said shyly, her voice growing softer and softer.
How many died?
"Not much."
"Give me specific numbers."
"More than one hundred."
"More than a hundred, how much more?"
"Three hundred more," Yaoyao Yao whispered.
Leo laughed out loud, amused by Yaoyao's words. Before leaving, she told him not to go too far. Although she didn't blow up the academy, she did kill more than four hundred Wizard Apprentice.
No wonder I found some changes in the academy after I came back. If they cause any more trouble, the academy might be wiped out.
Leo reached out his finger as if to tap Yaoyao's head, but then lowered his finger.
Four hundred isn't many. If they're dead, they're dead. In the Wizard World, how many years don't thousands of apprentices die?
Those apprentices who died were all because of his orders. If we're talking about ruthlessness, Yaoyao is no match for him at all.
"You made a major discovery, so I'll let it go this time, but you're not allowed to do it again." Leo patted Yaoyao's head, turning the punishment into a warning.
"Hehe, I got it."
With the matter of four hundred lives lightly dismissed, Leo began to consider Yaoyao's suggestion.
All the Wizard Apprentice and some of the Gulu Beast were transferred to the New Earth, to be dealt with when the disaster occurred.
As long as there is no catastrophe of annihilation, everything is fine. Ordinary disasters are fragile and vulnerable in the face of wizarding power.
However, this is conditional: Leo must be able to re-enter the Land of Rules. If the World Consciousness prevents Leo from entering because of what happened last time, then all his plans will fall through.
Recovery from injuries and Bloodline evolution to their limit are all out of the question!
Leo first met with Tang Fei, dealt with some backlogged matters, and then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Leo drifted off to sleep.
This time, Leo wasn't taken into the Land of Rules without any preparation like last time. Before going to sleep, he had already left a hint in his soul, so that even though he was asleep, he still had a slight awareness of his own consciousness.
Not long after he fell asleep, a powerful suction force emanated from the planet beneath him, directly pulling his consciousness out of his body.
The moment his consciousness was sucked away and his body lost all sensation, Yaoyao suddenly appeared on his body.
Yaoyao sized up Leo, even swatting Leo a few times with her little paws. Finding no reaction, Leo murmured:
"He really did fall asleep, and his consciousness left his body. It seems he's entering the Land of Rules again. I need to prepare."
After speaking, Yaoyao vanished instantly, leaving no trace of her presence.
It was still that golden pool of water. Last time Leo came without retaining his consciousness, but this time it was different. His eyes were clearly clear, and he possessed the ability to think.
Leo surveyed the space; apart from the golden pool of water, everything else was in a state of chaos, devoid of any objects.
The golden pool continued to draw Leo in, making Leo instinctively want to step inside, just as catnip attracts kittens, chicks attract wolves, and beautiful girls attract bachelors.
If Leo were not conscious, he would inevitably be drawn into the pool and assimilated, just like last time.
"You should have the ability to communicate now, why don't you come out and say a few words?" Leo said to the small space within the Land of Rules.
There was no response.
"If you don't say anything, I'm leaving. The position of World Lord is desirable, but it's not something I absolutely need."
Leo made a gesture as if to knock on his own head; as soon as his physical body awoke, his consciousness here would leave.
"You... don't... go."
A faint, intermittent voice, perhaps a little socially awkward, drifted from the space, clearly afraid that Leo would leave.
"You are the World Consciousness born from the New Earth, aren't you?" Leo asked.
"Um."
The socially awkward girl said timidly.
"You want me to become the World Lord and help you complete your evolution, is that it?"
"Um."
"Do you know that I've suffered very serious injuries and am not yet the World Lord?"
"I can... heal you. Once healed... you can become... the World Lord."
"If you can heal me, I can become the World Lord and help you complete your evolution." Leo said with the most sincere and benevolent smile.
"Then you can go in."
As the World Consciousness spoke, the golden pool churned, as if welcoming Leo's entry.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Leo lifted his foot and walked towards the golden pool, immersing himself in it without hesitation, not even revealing a single hair.
As the golden water flowed over his body, entering through his nose and mouth, Leo slowly closed his eyes.
Leo tried to open his eyes several times during the journey, but his heavy eyelids made him close them unconsciously.
The powerful assimilative force of the golden pool made it impossible for Leo to remain clear-headed. Even though he had repeatedly told himself to stay alert before entering, he still underestimated the assimilative power of the golden pool.
This is the will of the world, a powerful force that Leo cannot resist on his own.
Just as Leo fell asleep in the golden pool, Yaoyao appeared at the location where Leo's soul was anchored in the Shadow World, in front of the statue where Yaoyao stood on Leo's feet.
At this moment, a patch of gold can be seen gradually expanding on Leo's small statue, starting from his calves and spreading across his entire body.
Yaoyao didn't rush to act, but instead kept examining the parts of Leo that had turned golden. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her expression became more solemn than ever before.
With claws raised, small shadows appeared beside the statue. As soon as these shadows appeared, they all twisted and changed their shapes, rushing towards the Leo statue.
To be precise, they rushed towards the part of Leo's statue that had turned golden!
These shadows yearn for the golden energy emanating from Leo!
If Leo could see this scene, he would surely be shocked, because the shadows mutated from the Shadow Talent had only ever produced this kind of change in the Planetary Core before. Apart from the Planetary Core, there was nothing else that could make these shadows show such a hungry state.
