"So this is how one must ascend to the Supreme Lord," Black Soluo remarked after reading all the information.
"Since ascension to the Supreme Lord requires the world World Will World Cluster as a vessel, then elevating the Barbarian World to World Cluster to facilitate your ascension to the Supreme Lord is the only way. Abandon the original plan; you will develop in the Barbarian World, and Black Soluo and I will provide you with as much assistance as possible."
After repeatedly reading the information transmitted by the Little Bookworm, Leo made his final decision to Baturu.
"If there's only one path to becoming Supreme Lord, then it's the easiest Supreme Lord Baturu, followed by me, and the hardest is actually for you," Black Soluo, looking at Leo's true form.
According to information provided by Little Bookworm No. 001, only worlds at the World Cluster level can support Supreme Lord, and only within World Cluster can one ascend to Supreme Lord.
To ascend to the Supreme Lord, one needs the approval of the World Cluster World Will Cluster. Leo needs the approval of the Wizard Will to ascend to the Supreme Lord Ruler, while Black Soluo needs the approval of the Returning Breath World Will to ascend to the Supreme Lord!
Although the Returning Breath World has now surrendered to the Wizard World, it is much easier for Black Soluo to gain the Returning Breath World's recognition than for the Wizard World to be embroiled in internal strife!
If Leo wants to gain the recognition of the Wizard World, the first thing he needs to do is to subdue the Great Wizard schools. Given the domineering nature of the elemental and body-refining schools, it is almost impossible for other wizards to advance to the Supreme Lord.
Conquering Great Wizard is harder than becoming Supreme Lord!
The information provided by Little Bookworm No. 001 also mentions that a large world must integrate with the World Will of other worlds to advance to World Cluster.
The word 'integration' is too simplistic and easy to use.
Devouring is more accurate!!
Only by absorbing enough World Will will can a large world advance to the World Cluster!
This is why Little Bookworm No. 001 explored the life forms surrounding the Barbarian World; these worlds are the resources prepared for the Barbarian World to advance into World Cluster.
All World Cluster conquer other worlds, still for resources, only their levels differ, and the resources they seek also differ.
Lower life forms desire resources, higher life forms desire the entire world, and the World Will desires to devour the wills of other lower worlds to strengthen itself.
The Barbarian World lacks the means to conquer other worlds and cannot allow its own World Will to devour the World Will. That's why they tried other methods, only to find that all other paths were blocked.
Don't assume that other worlds can do the same just because the Wizard World and the Returning Breath World can lead countless armies across the universe.
Very few can achieve this; it's the standard for World Cluster, something other lower-level worlds shouldn't even dream of.
However, the Barbarian World of large worlds have limited knowledge and lack the means to traverse the universe.
Expeditions cannot be carried out.
It cannot devour the World Will.
It does not devour the World Will.
Barbarian World cannot advance to World Cluster.
Without advancing to World Cluster,
Barbarians are trapped and die in their Barbarian World.
This is an extremely contradictory closed loop, so when the Little Bookworm No. 001 saw Baturu, he couldn't hide his excitement.
He saw in Baturu the hope of the expedition, the dawn of advancement to World Cluster, and even more so, his own future of regaining freedom!!
Perhaps Baturu cannot ascend to the Supreme Lord, but as long as Baturu takes the ability to conquer with him, then even if Baturu dies, other barbarians can continue the expedition as long as they learn the same methods and abilities.
So, while it seems like Little Bookworm No. 001 has put in a lot of effort, in reality, all that effort is just talk. Without advancing to the Supreme Lord, Baturu will gain nothing.
As for the price paid in the early stages, it was nothing more than providing full support.
But so what? It's just a negligible part of all the costs.
"If you can advance to the Supreme Lord, it will also be a way out for us. The Wizard World and the Returning Breath World are becoming increasingly dangerous. The Supreme Lord negotiations have been going on for so long without any results. Who knows if we will start fighting again?"
"If I can't make it here, I'll come and seek refuge with you," Black Soluo said to Baturu with a smile.
Compared to the conflict between the two major schools of wizardry, the few remaining Lord of Souls they possess are simply insufficient to support a large World Cluster structure.
If those Supreme Lord were to finish their meeting and decide to eliminate them all, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape, as they are currently all concentrated in one world.
"It would be great if you could come and help me. It's too hard for me to do it alone. We're about to embark on an expedition, and I need to train these barbarians first. They know nothing and are still in a primitive state. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen when they go to the battlefield."
All his plans were disrupted by the information and requests provided by Little Bookworm No. 001, and he would be extremely busy in the days to come.
"You'll need to reach level four before you can launch an expedition. Before that, you have plenty of time to train them. Use this time to learn the black vortex of the Returning Breath World and the spatial passage ability of the Wizard World. I will give you a thousand shadows from the Shadow Plane. Without a mothership, we can only launch expeditions through the most primitive methods," said Leo in his true form.
"I understand. Looks like I'll be the busiest one next. When you get back, contact Little Bookworm No. 007 and ask who Little Bookworm No. 002 is. How come we haven't noticed him after he's been around us for so long? If No. 001 hadn't pointed it out, we don't know how long we would have been kept in the dark," Baturu complained.
"Okay, contact me if anything comes up. You don't need to suppress your level; just develop your body to its fullest potential for advancement."
Before leaving, Leo was still worried about Baturu and urged him to advance as soon as possible. Baturu's current situation was completely different from that of Black Soluo back then. Black Soluo suppressed his advancement time to avoid being noticed, but Baturu didn't need to. No one would find it strange if he advanced one level a day.
The three disappeared into the sea of consciousness.
Returning Breath World,
Leo slowly opened his eyes. Yaoyao tilted her head and asked with a sly smile, "What if Baturu can't control himself and really gives birth to a bunch of little barbarians?"
"He wouldn't," Leo thought, a chill running down his spine as he recalled the maid he had seen in Baturu's memories.
"Go and help him rearrange the thousand shadows. Little Bookworm No. 001 has already given the approximate interstellar locations of those worlds; we should be able to make contact soon."
"Don't worry, this little thing is no problem for me." Yaoyao said, tearing open the Shadow Plane and jumping inside.
Without a mothership, it's impossible to launch expeditions directly from the Barbarian World.
In this situation, the only option is to obtain the internal location of these worlds, then tear open space and forcibly invade, just like Leo smuggled himself into the Jeft World when he was promoted to a higher level.
Little Bookworm No. 001 provided general information about those worlds, and by throwing shadows, there is a high probability that we can make contact with the life forms in those worlds.
Once we can obtain accurate location information, all that's left is to wait for Baturu to advance to level four and then launch expeditions using various means. With the current strength of the Barbarian World, dealing with the surrounding worlds shouldn't be too difficult.
Although the process is a bit complicated, it is the best arrangement that can be made given the current situation.
Leo took out a piece of paper and, following the method taught by Professor Little Bookworm No. 001, wrote his unique language on it.
After writing, he brushed his palm across the paper, and the entire sheet burst into flames. Within a few breaths, not a trace remained.
Before fifteen minutes had even passed, Leo's head felt heavy, and he began to feel sleepy.
He immediately lay down, closed his eyes, and in the next instant, his consciousness found itself in a void, where a blue worm, no bigger than a fingertip, was floating in front of him.
It was none other than Little Bookworm No. 007.
"Who did you find?" Upon seeing Leo, Little Bookworm No. 007 asked eagerly. Leo's ability to contact him must have been learned from the other Little Bookworm.
"Don't you know all my secrets? Why don't you take a guess?"
Leo harbored resentment towards the fact that the Little Bookworm No. 007 knew about his clone Black Soluo, the existence of a cosmic-level Black Metal Module, and even Yaoyao's abilities, which had previously threatened him.
Last time, if the Little Bookworm in front of him hadn't threatened him with his secret, Leo would never have compromised with him.
"Look at you, how can you be so petty? Didn't we agree last time that as long as you find one of my brothers, I'll tell you how I found out your secret? I had no choice, it wasn't intentional. You're so amazing, how can you hold a grudge against me?" Little Bookworm No. 007 leaned close to Leo and pleaded in a low voice, almost mimicking Yaoyao talk and affectionate manner towards Leo.
"You have to answer two questions before I can tell you who we found." Leo didn't soften for a moment despite the Little Bookworm No. 007's pleas and immediately added demands to the originally agreed-upon terms.
"No problem, I'll tell you everything I know." Little Bookworm No. 007 was impatient, as if he would agree to any request Leo made.
Who is Little Bookworm No. 002?
Leo stared at the tiny eyes of Little Bookworm No. 007, completely baffled. How could he not have noticed a cosmic-level treasure beside him, and for such a long time?
" The Fate Wizard Book in your hand... that's my second brother! Did you think I came here so readily because I like your Wizard World? It's because my second brother is here!"
Little Bookworm No. 007 casually gave the answer.
Leo was immediately shocked. The Fate Wizard Book, a treasure passed down through generations in the Wizard World, was actually Little Bookworm No. 002!!
Countless images flashed through my mind, along with a long string of thoughts: every Stigmata Wizard has a clone of a Fate Wizard Book.
Thinking about the wisdom displayed by the Little Bookworm No. 001 whom I had met,
Leo immediately blurted out, "So all those secrets you know were told to you by the Fate Wizard Book, right?"
