Decades had passed, and the Wizard Tower was no longer the same as before. It had been greatly expanded on its original foundation. In the beginning, there had only been the Wizard Tower and the castle halfway up the mountain. Later on, several smaller Wizard Towers had been built, which were used by the tutors to conduct experiments and teach official students.
Only the official students under Lu Zhiyu could be considered to have formed a contract with their mentor. They were considered to have received the teachings of their mentor, just like the disciple that Lu Zhiyu had accepted. He had received an elite education, while the other apprentices of the wizard tower were only here to receive wizard training.
This was different from Lu Zhiyu's previous free-range breeding. After all, Lu Zhiyu only needed knowledge. He had no interest in building or managing an organization. On the other hand, Frank and the other wizards had the goal of building the wizard tower into a large-scale organization.
The entire Wizard Tower was becoming more and more like a small city. There were many more buildings on the mountain, and many wizards and students were walking back and forth. It seemed to be much more lively than the first batch.
The miasma caused by the Devil Camphor that Lu Zhiyu had planted had been strengthened by Frank and the others. Now, there were more illusions. Ordinary people would not be able to resist the miasma, and even wizards would have a hard time dealing with these illusions, as they could kill people without leaving a trace.
At the foot of the only entrance, there was a huge and majestic cave that was directly connected to the underground cave. This was not only the entrance above ground, but it was also connected to the transfer station of the underground tunnel. Any movement would alert the Red Dragon.
Lu Zhiyu found Sargon's grave in the cemetery behind the mountain. He had met Sargon's son the day before. His son was not very talented, and it had taken him twenty years to become an official wizard. Lu Zhiyu thought that his future achievements would be limited.
Most of the slaves that Lu Zhiyu had brought here had died after more than thirty years. The second generation of ant-people that Lu Zhiyu had left behind had also gradually died out. Their jobs had been replaced by wizards and apprentices.
Standing in front of Sargon's grave, Lu Zhiyu looked at the rows of tombstones. Lu Zhiyu remembered some of the names, while others he did not. However, when he glanced at them, he felt a sense of familiarity. What surprised Lu Zhiyu was that he saw the tombstones of Li Weisi, Henry, and a few other first-generation wizards. Frank had built graves for them and placed their belongings on them before they died, acknowledging them as members of the Wizard Tower.
In front of the cemetery, Lu Zhiyu looked at the rows of tombstones. Suddenly, Lu Zhiyu saw a scene. His future path would be the same as if he were standing in front of this cemetery. As time passed, everyone he knew and knew would die. At his feet, there would be a huge mountain of tombstones that could not be counted.
As Lu Zhiyu stood on such a tall mountain of tombstones and looked at the endless names that he was familiar with, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Lu Zhiyu had just started on the path of evolution, but he could already feel the loneliness and coldness of this path.
Would it be to be like Sargon, busy all his life and dying like an ant, completing his peaceful life, or would it be to advance alone in the brilliance of eternal life and the evolution of life?
"Is it worth it?"
Lu Zhiyu touched the tombstones of Sargon, Li Weisi, Henry, and the others. He did not know if he was asking them or himself. Lu Zhiyu stayed in the cemetery for a long time. When night fell, all he could do was sigh.
A few days later, Lu Zhiyu left the Wizard Tower. Not only that, but he also took the SS Eternity alchemy ship with him. The current wizards had already mastered some supernatural powers through blood witchcraft and spell-casting organ transplants. They already had the ability to travel on the sea. Leaving the SS Eternity alchemy ship to them would not be of much use. However, for Lu Zhiyu, it would be of great use.
In the future, when the wizard tower recruited apprentices, it would be up to them to pick them up on their own. Over the past few decades, some of Lu Zhiyu's previous arrangements had slowly begun to show their effects. Extraordinary powers had really begun to blossom everywhere, and this world had begun to transform from an ordinary mortal world into a world of extraordinary powers.
Lu Zhiyu steered the SS Eternity alchemy ship to sail on the sea and begin the transformation plan. The white life alchemy ship had not changed much from when Lu Zhiyu had first created it. The exterior details and internal structure, apart from the decorations, were not much different from thirty years ago.
However, compared to when Lu Zhiyu had first created it, its mind power had increased by a lot, reaching the level of five hundred. Although it was still far from being able to transform its entire body into a mythical alchemy ship, it was still much stronger than before.
When Lu Zhiyu first created the SS Eternity alchemy ship, he had a hope that one day, this alchemy ship would not only be able to sail on the sea, but could even fly in the sky. In the end, it could even become a starship that could sail in the universe.
Lu Zhiyu would ride it to soar in the sea of stars, or travel between the astral planes. However, this was not an easy task. To build a starship, it involved a wide range of scientific and technological aspects. Just looking at the aerospace technology of various countries, which could drive a large number of industries and even promote the development of the economy, it was obvious that this was not something that could be achieved by one person or one country alone.
If Lu Zhiyu had been the only one to design it, it would have been possible to build a ship in the sky. However, if he wanted to build a starship, Lu Zhiyu was afraid that it would not even be able to reach the second cosmic speed of 11.2kms and escape from the gravitational shackles of the earth, let alone rely on a starship to reach the third cosmic speed, rush out of the solar system, and travel in the universe.
Moreover, it was not as simple as obtaining a so-called blueprint to complete the construction of a spaceship. The details of the construction required the participation of professionals, in order to ensure that there would be no problems. When it came to following the blueprint, one could only listen to legends.
The first step in Lu Zhiyu's long journey to transform the SS Eternity into a real starship was to make it into a real alchemy life. At the very least, one could not expect a wooden ship to sail in the universe. When Lu Zhiyu was upgrading the Sword of the King, he spent nearly ten years exploring the pattern of the metal cells and completing the structure of the metal cells.
Now, he needed to apply the metal cells to the SS Eternity and refine it into a real alchemy life. At the same time, Lu Zhiyu also made a new plan for the life template of the SS Eternity. The original SS Eternity was only a ship that could sail on and under the water. It had two extraordinary abilities: the control of water currents and the vibration of sound waves.
