Decades passed quietly in the busy research and preparation for dimension modification.
In the laboratory, the light was adjusted to a slightly dim state, with only a giant cylindrical reinforced glass tank in the center emitting a faint red glow.
Jeming stood in front of the tank, frowning slightly, unconsciously running his fingers through his somewhat messy hair, his eyes carrying a tinge of frustration typical of a research inertia and bottleneck period.
Inside the tank was filled with a glistening, viscous liquid resembling melted rubies, with energy phantoms, seemingly alive, swimming and spiraling leisurely within, like fish.
These energy phantoms emitted pure and active elemental fluctuations.
And in the center of the liquid, a slightly thin and lean male Wizard Apprentice was quietly floating with eyes closed.
His body, like a black hole, was greedily absorbing the energy from the surrounding liquid and those swimming "fish."
