“Whoosh—”
After crossing the magic teleportation gate, Jia Na, led by Hai La - Herheim, arrived at the Fallen Star located on the eighteenth floor of the White Tower.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh—”
“Is this the Lower Starfield within the Fallen Star?”
Looking at the dim stars occasionally streaking across the pitch-black universe, Jia Na couldn't help but frown.
In fact, from the eighteenth floor all the way to the fortieth floor of the White Tower, it all belongs to the Fallen Star.
And where Jia Na was located belonged to the Lower Starfield within the Fallen Star, which is the bottom layer of the entire Fallen Star.
As a Fallen Star that accommodates all Wizard Apprentices and all Formal Wizards' stars in the current Primary Material World, its area is quite vast.
Just like the Lower Starfield where Jia Na is currently located, its area is as large as hundreds of millions of Main Material Worlds.
Of course, as the main “residents” of the Lower Starfield—the Fallen Star—their positions are not so scattered, mostly concentrated in the same starfield.
Just like the dim stars Jia Na is seeing now, they are actually Fallen Star controlled by Wizard Apprentices from other secondary Wizard Gathering Places.
“There are far fewer Fallen Star here than I imagined.”
Looking at the surroundings, which were completely unlike the “multitude of stars gathering” scene she saw behind the Realm Gate last time, Jia Na felt both confusion and a slight disappointment.
“The Fallen Star in the Lower Starfield are actually not few, and the reason we can't see other Fallen Star is because our current position is too low, and we haven't reached the true ‘Crawling Zone’.”
The Crawling Zone is a jocular term among Wizard Apprentices for the Lower Starfield.
After all, before the Fallen Star truly “ascends,” these Wizard Apprentices piloting the Fallen Star can only constantly wander in the bottom layer of the Fallen Star like crawling insects, unable to reach the true resource zone in the universe—the Upper Starfield, also known as the Soaring Zone.
Of course, above the Soaring Zone, there is also the Divine Zone, which is a Starfield that only the Plane World of a secondary Wizard can ascend to.
At the same time, it is also a mysterious area that many Formal Wizards can only dream of reaching their entire lives.
Legend has it that only Wizards who reach the Divine Zone are truly considered to have jumped out of the Fallen Star centered on the Primary Material World,
and then see the super Plane Worlds of other Fallen Star.
This also means that Wizards entering the Divine Zone must also formally face the threat of “Outer Gods” from other Fallen Star and truly bear the responsibility of guarding the Wizard Starfield. What Hai La - Herheim just said meant that because the two of them had just acquired their respective Fallen Star, before their Fallen Star could give birth to a law seed, they were still in the “infant stage” and could not drive the Fallen Star, thus naturally unable to enter the Crawling Zone.
“It seems I'll have to wait a while longer to witness the true Fallen Star—”
Although she felt a bit disappointed, Jia Na, having rarely entered the Fallen Star, still explored a small area in her spiritual body form with Hai La - Herheim.
During the exploration, she also discovered many dormant Fallen Star.
“After all this time, your spiritual body doesn't seem to have consumed much.”
About half an hour had passed since the two entered the Lower Starfield.
However, due to the excessively dark surroundings, Jia Na and Hai La - Herheim couldn't actually see each other's spiritual body forms.
But Hai La - Herheim could clearly feel that compared to her current fatigue, Jia Na's spiritual body state was still very full, without any abnormality.
“After all, I am a Summoning Apprentice, and the spiritual body form is also a form I frequently use.”
Because the two of them were still unable to pilot the Fallen Star, they could only explore the Lower Starfield in their spiritual body form, and the efficiency was very low.
Therefore, this time, apart from the unchanging darkness before their eyes, the two did not see any other Fallen Star in the Lower Starfield in the end.
“If you feel tired, we can go back first, and then come again next time.”
“Okay.”
After sensing that Hai La - Herheim's soul power was almost exhausted, Jia Na suggested leaving the Fallen Star.
Hearing this, Hai La - Herheim, whose spiritual body was indeed showing signs of fatigue, no longer insisted and agreed to go back.
“Hold on to me.”
“Whoosh—” Before Hai La - Herheim could react, Jia Na directly pulled Hai La - Herheim and used her Spiritual Body Shuttle talent.
In just an instant, their spiritual bodies returned to the coordinates of the magic teleportation gate.
“Is this your ‘Mystic Side’ talent ability? How did you do it?”
After their spiritual bodies returned to the White Tower through the magic teleportation gate, Hai La - Herheim, who was originally sitting cross-legged in a meditative state at her meditation spot, now opened her eyes and looked at Jia Na, who also opened her eyes, with a look of surprise.
“I just marked the coordinates of the teleportation gate in advance—it's not convenient to talk here, let's go out first.”
Looking at the other Wizard Apprentices still in a “spiritual body out-of-body” state on the surrounding meditation spots, Jia Na had no choice but to lower her voice and leave the eighteenth floor of the White Tower with Hai La - Herheim, returning to the apprentice dormitory area on the third floor.
“Hai La, I'm very happy to have met you today.”
Because the two were apprentices who arrived at the White Tower at the same time, their dormitory locations were not far apart.
As they were about to part, Jia Na also extended her hand proactively, smiling at Hai La - Herheim.
“I'm also very happy to have met you, and I hope we'll have opportunities for deeper cooperation in the future.”
Seeing Jia Na's outstretched hand, Hai La - Herheim also took it proactively, and when she said the words “cooperation,” she deliberately emphasized her tone.
“Moreover, you are truly the most talented Wizard Apprentice I have encountered so far, so I am also very curious about what you will cultivate your Fallen Star into in the future.”
To Hai La - Herheim's praise, Jia Na still responded with a polite and proper smile.
“Thank you for your compliment, I also look forward to our future cooperation.”
After their final farewell, Jia Na also parted ways with Hai La - Herheim and returned to her own dormitory.
“Next, it's time to study again.”
Looking at the time, which was already approaching noon, Jia Na took out a sandwich from the cooler to simply fill her stomach, and at the same time, she took out the new wizardry scroll she had exchanged at the White Tower's resource exchange point today, as well as the crystal ball recording the “Harp Learning Tutorial.”
