Chapter 1165: 363. There’s another core_2

“However, it’s always better to be prepared than to wait for an unknown Plane Core to reach out to you. You should be clear about that,”

“If in the end, you manage to leave the cage without my help, then our deal can be renegotiated. It can be voided or modified, as you wish.”

After reading the message, Noland Lee let out a wry laugh to himself.

The existence of something like the Plane Core was indeed not common, using just a few words to expose His own background.

Perhaps it was because the disparity between them was just too great, or maybe it had already seen many similar cases, the Escape Core of the Plane remained very calm and composed after discovering Noland’s details, without a trace of surprise.

This was probably a direct reflection of the disparity between the levels of life.

Noland gathered his senses and said,

“I am willing to accept your terms. What should I do next to possess a Sub-Dimensional Plane?”

Ring Characters appeared in Noland’s mind, the Plane Core responded.

“You need to arrange a higher-level ceremony. During the ceremony, I will transmit a ‘Plane Fragment’ to the space where you are.”

“This ‘Plane Fragment’ will take the form of a stargaze, hanging in the heavens. Once it has absorbed enough Primal Fire, it will take on the initial form of a Sub-Dimensional Plane.”

“At that point, you can use the ceremony I taught you to enter the Sub-Dimensional Plane. You need to stabilize its framework and repair any gaps as quickly as possible.”

“You must be extremely cautious, and act quickly because other life creatures in your world can discover this Sub-Dimensional Plane by observing the stargaze.”

Noland nodded solemnly,

“Understood.”

Thinking of the astronomical cost required to purchase the Plane Device, Noland asked,

“Regarding the step of repairing the Sub-Dimensional Plane, do you have any good suggestions?”

The Ring Characters floated for a moment, the serrations on their surface changed into new shapes, revealing new content.

“Normally, a Sub-Dimensional Plane can perfect itself by passively absorbing the light of Primal Fire, eventually becoming a space that only allows those with specific identities to enter and leave. However, this passive process of absorbing Primal Fire is very lengthy for you humans, possibly taking decades.”

“To speed up this process, you will need to use the methods of your world to channel a large amount of Primal Fire into the Sub-Dimensional Plane. I believe you should be able to find a way to accomplish this.”

Noland frowned slightly.

It all came back to the extremely expensive Plane Device…

It seemed that the principle behind the Plane Device was to channel the light of Primal Fire into the Sub-Dimensional Plane.

Perhaps by coming into contact with the Plane Device, He could catch a glimpse of Primal Fire’s true form?

While Noland thought about this, He chatted with the other party for a few more sentences, and then withdrew His right arm.

The Escape Core of the Plane sent Noland’s consciousness out, returning it to His body on the Magic Inflatable Raft.

With that, His first contact with the Plane Core was successfully completed.

Noland opened His eyes and looked down at the Array.

The Soul Gem was nearly dim and lifeless, all three portions of the active materials were dried up, and the Array was close to being scrapped.

Judging by the rate of energy decay, He had spent about half an hour communicating with the Escape Core of the Plane.

With a wave of His hand, Noland used [Mage’s Hand] to quickly clear the Array.

After a while, He destroyed the Magic Inflatable Raft with several ‘Death Rays,’ letting the sea swallow its pieces, while He himself used ‘Death Flight’ to fly towards the land.

Before formally ending the conversation with the Escape Core of the Plane, Noland confirmed the date of the next communication ceremony with it.

In the next ceremony, the Escape Core of the Plane would transmit the ‘Plane Fragment,’ allowing it to hang in the sky in the form of a stargaze.

Considering that other wizards could also detect the presence of this stargaze, Noland had to be ready to face the wizards’ greed before He could officially initiate the next ceremony.

Before that, He might need half a year, or even longer, to prepare the materials, crafting Magical Items, Mechanos, and Thunderclouds.

So, conservatively estimated, the next communication ceremony would take place in half a year.

Was the Plane Core willing to wait?

Absolutely, no problem at all.

To an existence like it, half a year in the eyes of humans was but a flick of the finger.

If Noland felt uncertain, then there would be no issue even if He prepared for three to five years.
