The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 800 Advancement! The Crown of Miracles!
"He looks pretty good, what a miracle."

In the sea of ​​souls, a gigantic soul mimicking a whale spoke to Richard.

Opposite him, Richard's soul had transformed into a giant octopus, its main body bearing a simple, cartoonish face, much like the anthropomorphic animals in cartoons.

"It's alright. After all, I'm about to get promoted, so I definitely need to be on my toes."

Richard and the Soul Crown reside in the deep sea of ​​the Sea of ​​Souls, an area that ordinary souls can rarely descend to.

Only beings like the Overlord or Richard, who embody the rudiments of dimensions, have the power to come to this region.

Of course, this does not mean that Richard was weak in this area.

In this deep-sea area, in addition to these outsiders, there are also many indigenous people living there.

Most of the native creatures of these Sea of ​​Souls are harmless to outsiders, and many are even beneficial to the Overlord and quasi-Overlords like Richard.

The Soul Crown's favorite thing to do is to swim swiftly in this deep sea, devouring the creatures of the Soul Sea to strengthen its own soul.

In the midst of their conversation, the enormous whale that the Soul Crown had mimicked swallowed a group of small fish glowing with an eerie green light.

Looking at this scene, Li asked with some curiosity, "Your Majesty, you spend most of your time in the Sea of ​​Souls, so your spiritual power must have reached its limit long ago."

Without breaking the limit, will absorbing these soul sea creatures still be effective?

"Haha, of course."

The Soul Crown did not hide anything from Richard's questions and directly resolved his doubts.

"You should know that the difference between a level 7 and a level 8 being lies in the maturity of their dimension. There is no leap in quality after a level 7 being advances to level 8."

Richard's tentacles twitched slightly.

"I know that."

When Richard first encountered the Council of Truth, he had doubts about the council's structure.

Because of the difference in life levels, the seventh-ring truth is simply not enough to sit down and talk with the eighth-ring truth.

The Council of Truth should only have two Crowns: the one who embodies energy and the one who embodies alchemy.

Even if we take into account contributions, at most we could add the cursed crown and form a three-person council.

It wasn't until later, when he asked the Constitutional Crown, that he learned that the difference between a seventh-level ruler and an eighth-level ruler was merely the amount of dimensional power.

In battles between rulers, dimensional power tends to favor the exchange of pieces.

It means that you have dimensions, and I have dimensions too, so the two of us essentially cancel each other out.

Before the dimensional power is completely exhausted, the battle between the two rulers is actually a contest of basic qualities, knowledge, and combat experience.

This is also why the Seven Rings of Truth can be served.

Before the dimensional power is completely exhausted, the Eighth Ring Truth Wizards and their combat strength are not significantly different.

"Have you ever thought that the quality of the Sovereign's Soul can also be improved?" the Soul Crown asked with a smile.

In an instant, Richard shuddered as if he had been electrocuted.

Indeed, although the quality improvement brought about by promotion has disappeared, this does not mean that quality cannot be improved.

"Then, Your Majesty... wouldn't that be a disguised breach of your limits?" Richard exclaimed.

The Soul Crown shook its head slightly, its voice tinged with a sigh.

"It's not that bad yet. Even though the quality of my soul has improved by half, the gap between my quality and that of the Shaping Energy still exists."

This was after he broke through his limits, without paying much attention to improving his mental strength.

If he were to immerse himself in the sea of ​​the soul like I do, his spiritual power would probably have far surpassed mine by now.

“Why doesn’t the Corona of Energy do that?” Richard asked instinctively.

In terms of physical evolution, improving physical constitution is the highest priority for enhancing strength.

"Because we are spiritually evolved, no matter how much spiritual power you have, without sufficient knowledge you're still a weakling. The power of magic won't increase because of your spiritual power; it will only change because of the change in your physical form."

As she spoke, the Soul Crown looked at Richard with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Richard's physical evolution means that as long as his physical condition improves, his combat power will also increase.

If spiritual evolution could be like this, then he would probably be able to challenge the Alchemist Crown now.

The small talk quickly came to an end, and Richard explained the purpose of his visit.

"Your ritual is a bit crazy."

The Soul Corona reacted to the Richard ritual in exactly the same way as the Energy Corona.

However, he had a good relationship with the Coronation of the Cursed, and after some thought, he was surprised to find that Richard's ritual was still quite feasible.

Richard's purpose for this trip was to sequence the souls. Although souls may look the same, they are different in their internal structure.

These differences can affect a soul's resistance to certain attacks, and even give rise to talents on the soul.

Once the sequencing is complete, he can calculate the size of the enclosed space in which he is most likely to complete recombination.

Soul sequencing is not complicated, or rather, it is not complicated for the Soul Corona.

As the dimensional power of the Soul Crown entered his soul, Richard felt as if his soul had become "transparent," and everything within it could be seen clearly.

Even the Forge of Miracles can be seen directly.

This peculiar feeling lasted for seven days, and on the eighth day, the Soul Corona gave Richard a diagram of his soul structure.

"I didn't expect you to have a talent for the soul, but it seems you haven't developed it. It's a bit of a pity."

The Soul Crown handed Richard a ball of light that recorded the structure of the soul and casually gave him a piece of advice.

"Your soul talent is actually quite good. If you have time in the future, you can come to the Sea of ​​Souls and find a kind of purple-light batfish to eat."

This creature is very beneficial for developing soul talents. Even if you have ascended to the Truth realm, this creature will still be effective, although a larger quantity will be required at that time.

"If this talent is fully developed, it will not only allow one to see the flow of energy, but also to see through veils and even the barriers of dimensions." Richard slightly moved his tentacles to indicate that he understood. He then memorized the structure and left the Sea of ​​Souls.

With the soul structure established, the remaining task is to perform calculations based on the theories of the soul school.

Calculating how a soul's structure can reassemble under external conditions after it has dissipated is a problem that requires enormous computing power.

Fortunately, the wizard civilization did not lack computing power.

Lan input the structural diagram and calculation formulas sent by Richard into the array of ruins.

"Sir Richard, is this your ceremony?"

“Yes.” Richard nodded calmly.

Lan sighed softly, "I didn't expect you to choose such an ability. You should know how difficult this ability is, right?"

"Difficulties?" Richard raised an eyebrow.

"You mean the probability of death?"

“No, I mean the probability of success.” Lan shook her head slightly. “There are some information storage units in this computing array that have not yet been damaged.”

Some of this information is a perfect match for what you need to do now.

I must remind you that even if the soul disintegrates and reassembles in a confined space, this ritual may not be completed.

Miracles happen because they are impossible. If you try to make everything seem inevitable, even if it's accomplished, it won't work.

Richard seemed to be deep in thought when he suddenly asked, "Did the Supreme Being leave behind the highest probability?"

"One in ten thousand. That's the probability of that ruler succeeding."

Richard paused for a moment, his voice low.

"In other words, I only have a one in ten thousand chance of succeeding."

"High risk, high reward. If you can accomplish this, you will undoubtedly become the leader of the wizarding civilization."

"What do you mean?" Richard's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

"Based on existing information, the ruler who completed this ritual successfully became the leader of the Supreme Beings, one of the three civilization leaders of the Civilization Alliance."

"……Yeah."

Richard's voice returned to calm, without the slightest ripple.

"Then let's calculate it."

Lan bowed slightly, then performed a special gesture that Richard had never seen before.

"Your will, Your Excellency the Leader."

……

"Although I don't know your calculation formula, I can confirm that the probability of survival in your environment is less than one in a thousand."

In the astral plane, the Alchemist Corona looked at the request Richard had given him, his voice somewhat serious.

“The Crown Prince’s knowledge is truly vast,” Richard said with a smile. “In this environment, I have only a one in ten thousand chance of surviving.”

"One in ten thousand!?"

The Alchemist Crown's voice was somewhat surprised, but then he realized that there was a significance to this number.

"Highest probability?" "Yes."

The Alchemist looked at the young wizard before him with some amazement. A thousand years ago, this wizard was just a lowly third-ringed wizard. But in less than a thousand years, he was about to become one of his own.

And now he even has a vague premonition.

Perhaps, this little wizard will become someone even he will have to look up to in the future.

"Good luck to you then."

Having said that, Alchemy Crown slightly raised his hand, and a vast ocean of dimensional power erupted within him, subsequently transforming into a massive cubic structure in the astral plane.

As the ether is expelled from the structure, the entire structure is entering a state close to absolute vacuum.

This barrier isolated the ether, energy, and even those illusory dimensional beings that liked to roam freely. The entire interior space became extremely stable, like a pure block of iron.

At the same time, a fluctuation of dimensional power emanated from the mark on Richard's hand.

That was the Crown of Curses casting a spell through a medium to make Richard's "luck" a little better.

The Daoist patriarch of the Immortal Realm once said that the Great Derivation Number is fifty, of which forty-nine are used. And that one useless one is destiny.

In wizarding civilizations, luck was once criticized as superstition. Wizards believed that as long as the data was detailed enough, everything in the future could be calculated.

However, with the arrival of war, a large number of old wizards died in battle, and new wizards, freed from the constraints of old ideas, began to conduct research, and this mechanical materialism was thus shattered by new discoveries.

Luck is recognized as a real thing.

Luck doesn't affect reality; the one in ten thousand chance of survival is indeed true. It doesn't affect reality itself, but only the choices we make in reality.

Li looked at the cube, and without hesitation, he separated his soul from his body and entered it.

With a faint sound emanating from the mechanical cube, the environment inside it completely stabilized.

No one knows what will happen until the results are in.

Time ticked by, and the Alchemist Crown gazed at the cube, quietly awaiting the outcome.

Seven days later.

A tremendous bell tolled in the hearts of all the wizards.

In the Wizarding Dimension, billions of wizards, their faces indistinct, emerged from the cold, dark buildings of the Wizarding City. They bowed in a wizarding salute to the City of Eternal Truth, and the billions of voices from both worlds merged into a single title.

"See the Crown of Miracles."
