The mysterious mage known as Blue was sitting at the head of a long table. On his right was the limitless mage Firelover, and to his left was the limitless mage Ropemaster. The other 22 people in the room were all Pioneer Mages. This room was used for conferences that took place every 100 years or during extraordinary situations.

Ropemaster, the mage, said, "We can capture her and use her abilities for ourselves."

Blue shook his head and responded, "That won't work. I have already cast the Destiny Vision spell, and I have determined that it will fail." Everyone nodded in disappointment.

Rank 10 was the peak for normal mages. To advance beyond that, one had to combine their soul with other mages to reach rank 11. There was no way around this.

However, after reaching rank 11, mages could progress normally by consuming enough resources and fulfilling certain conditions.

For example, to reach rank 12, a rank 11 mage must create a spell that can affect an entire medium-sized world. When that spell is successfully cast, they are immediately promoted to rank 12.

However, the conditions are difficult. Each world has resistance to foreign creations, and if mages try to force their way in, the world breaks and everything is wasted.

The world's resistance increases as stronger mages attempt to enter. There are ways around this, but they are very time-consuming and difficult. That's why Hao Gongming is so important to them. She can enter worlds directly without any resistance. If mages can have access to her methods, many more Pioneer Mages can be promoted to limitless mages.

Ropemaster sighed and said, "There is no other way. Let's give her 25% of the resources. After all, what we really want is to promote mages to rank 12. The resources are just an extra."

Firelover, a mage who appeared to be a young woman with orange pupils, said, "But we can't ignore the invasion from the Abyss World! She should be punished for that!"

Blue replied, "No, I don't want to scare her away. Too much is at stake. If it succeeds, we can have many more rank 12 and 13 mages. So everyone, be respectful to her and don't scare her away. If she runs, we can't get her. This has already been confirmed by the Divine Mages Unification."

Nobody objected.

"Now let's move on to the next matter," Mage Blue declared.

"We suspect that a piece of the Mage Primordial Secret is in the Abyss World. Divine mages are planning an invasion," he continued.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was shocked.

"Wasn't the location of the Abyss World deleted?" a Pioneer Mage asked.

"It was for us, but not for divine mages and above," Mage Blue explained.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

“Shatter Mage named Void, who is rank 17, discovered that a piece of Mage Primordial Secret is in the Abyss World," blue said

"Does the Abyss World have a Rank 17 individual?" another Pioneer Mage inquired.

"I don't know that much, but they must have the ability to resist. Otherwise, the Shatter Mages would have already stolen that piece," Mage Blue responded.

Initially, the Mage Primordial Secret was in the Mage World.

However, one day, a Rank 18 creator mage stole it, tore it apart, and scattered its pieces throughout the multiverse.

When he was captured by a Rank 19 moderator mage and interrogated, it was revealed that the Mage Primordial Secret contained a method to be promoted to Rank 20 Administrator Mage.

This ancient story is now known to all high ranking mages.

Mages have already discovered how to promote to an Administrator Mage.

However, the Mage Primordial Secret still holds immense research value, and many believe that the Rank 20 method is not the only secret it holds.

"This battle is too high-profile for us. However, in the event that they want the help of lower-level mages like us, I just wanted to give you a heads up," Mage Blue informed them.

Many mages expressed their gratitude, and Mage Blue smiled before moving on to the next matter.

...

Hao Gongming looked serious. Her clones had excavated and obtained many essences, and now she was attempting to add the iron essence to the core. With great care, she slowly infused the iron essence without touching it and successfully dropped it onto the main core.

Soon, the iron essence merged, and the space of the world began to expand once again. Now, there were more than 30 essences in this core.

Light essence, dark essence, shadow essence, stone essence, and many more essences were added to the core. Each essence granted the world the ability to support supernatural powers related to that essence. For example, before adding the shadow essence, there were still shadows, but the world lacked the supernatural powers associated with shadows. However, after obtaining the shadow essence, it became possible.

Hao Gongming smiled as she teleported away to the Hao Harem Sect.

...

The Hao Harem Sect had grown significantly in size. The billion disciples she had brought had all settled in, making the sect extremely busy. She called for Su, and after a while, he arrived.

"Long time no see, Su. Brief me about the situation of the sect," Hao Gongming said.

Su looked serious and replied, "Hongming, we are in a pretty good situation, except that all our immortal resources are exhausted, and many disciples are unable to progress."

Hao Gongming reassured him, "Soon, there will be so many resources that you won't know where to put them." She sent Su away with a smile and then opened portals with the help of her clone to the agreed-upon place with the mages.

...

More than ten pioneer mages and a limitless mage were waiting with dissatisfaction. At that moment, a portal opened, and Hao Gongming emerged.

"Now, fellow mages, I'm ready to open gates to another world," she announced.

The rank 12 limitless mage named Green was the first to speak, asking, "Do you have control over which world you open?"

Hao Gongming replied, "I won't answer questions."

Mage Green sneered but didn't say anything more.

Hao Gongming continued, "Now, the first portal!" She waved her hand, and a portal opened.

Green asked, "What kind of world is it?"

Hao Gongming smiled and replied, "You have to go in and see for yourself."

A pioneer mage volunteered and entered the portal. After a while, she returned, clearly surprised. "This world is full of monsters, all kinds of mindless creatures," they reported.

Mage Green decided to venture into the world himself. After some time, he returned with a smile on his face. "This world is very suitable for us. You will get your 25% share when the looting begins," he declared.

Hao Gongming smiled, leaving a clone behind to maintain the portal, and then departed.

Mage Green examined the new world and called for support from mages of higher ranks.
