The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 805 Dimensional Exploration
Although the wizarding civilization is nominally a unified whole, in reality, each school of thought has its own domain under its control.

Without the orders of the Evoking Crown, a significant portion of the wizarding legions cannot be mobilized. And without the orders of the Alchemy Crown, the factories of the Alchemy World will simply run idle, without producing a single piece of equipment.

The power of the Truth Council comes from the Truth Wizards within it. Therefore, orders from the Truth Council are often not issued directly to the corresponding departments, but are first approved by the school and marked with the school's seal before being executed.

In the past, these orders were usually issued to the corresponding high priest.

However, due to the war, all the great wizards went to the front lines, so these orders were all piled up at headquarters and handed over to the Truth Wizard's clone to handle.

"No wonder the Crown Prince wanted to throw the school of thought at me."

Looking at the mountain of documents in front of him, Li couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Although processing these documents wouldn't take him much time, many of them had expiration dates in those days.

If the deadline is missed, then even if it is approved or rejected, it will be meaningless.

This requires that there must be a backup system to deal with emergencies at all times.

Listening to Richard's complaints, the Cursed Archmage felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard such words many times before.

"These things shouldn't be a problem for you, right?" the Cursed Archmage asked cautiously.

"It's not really a problem. But... who would want to waste their energy on this?"

Richard reluctantly broke off a finger and sculpted a clone identical to himself. Then, he added a soul seed into the clone to ensure it could freely use magic.

As the soul seed entered the body, the clone's eyes suddenly became lively.

Without a word, the clone quietly approached the documents and began processing them with astonishing efficiency.

Richard turned to the Cursed Archmage: "From now on, you can have all your affairs stamped by him."

The Cursed Archmage looked at Richard's clone, who stamped the document without even reading it, his expression conflicted, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Your Majesty, this is far too perfunctory."

“Perfunctory?” Richard raised an eyebrow, patted the Cursed Archmage on the shoulder, and said solemnly, “Cursed Archmage, I am deeply moved by your responsibility to the school. Therefore, I now grant you the authority to review all future documents. Once you have your opinion, you can submit them here for stamping.”

"what?"

The Cursed Archmage was somewhat bewildered by Richard's words; he felt as if he had heard those words before.

Without giving the Cursed Archmage a chance to argue, Richard simply took out a scroll from his pocket, wrote a Crown Decree as proof of the Cursed Archmage's authority, and then disappeared from the room without looking back.

This kind of boring job is for whoever wants to do it; he definitely won't do it.

The Cursed Archmage looked at the vanished Richard and had a strange sense of déjà vu.

It seems that a wizard did this in the past.

"Was that cursed crown prince also such a lazy wizard in the past?"

……

In the endless dimensions, the Cursed Crown, who was exploring a labyrinthine region, suddenly felt an itch on its nose.

He rubbed his nose, thinking to himself, "It seems that Curse Scar has already discovered the problem. Once he does, the council should also realize that I've disappeared... Hopefully, not too much time has passed."

Within this labyrinth, his sense of time was severely distorted.

He could no longer tell whether he had been in this labyrinth for tens of thousands of years or had just entered.

However, even so, the Crown of Curses remained steadfast in its gaze, showing no sign of panic.

He had already disregarded life and death when he embarked on this path.

He gazed at the labyrinth before him, which resembled a mirror, his eyes swirling with a mysterious power.

"This maze is a trap, but it is also an opportunity. If I can discover the secrets of this maze, my chances of winning will definitely increase."

……

After leaving the headquarters of the School of Curses, Richard checked his to-do list and decided to start with the most important and simplest task.

"Let's go find the Furnace People Dimension first," Richard said softly, closing his notebook.

Although it's not a good thing to say it like this, the fact that the rulers of the Cursed Crown are now trapped and devoured by the Civilization Devourers presents him with a good opportunity to explore the endless dimensions.

At this point in time, the civilization devourers certainly wouldn't have the energy to pay attention to him.

Richard opens the gate to the dimension and enters the endless dimension.

In a space like the depths of the universe, countless rainbows stretching across the sky filled Richard's field of vision—each rainbow representing a dimension.

Even though this wasn't the first time Richard had seen it, he was still somewhat shocked.

As dimensional power was channeled into the mark on the forehead, a flame flowed from the mark, transforming into a guiding line that extended into the depths of endless dimensions.

"Is there really such direct guidance?"

As he examined the guiding lines, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

He had originally planned to use divination extensively, but with this guiding thread, he no longer needs to go through all that trouble.

With a thought, Richard's body instantly transformed into a streak of light and flew in the direction indicated by the path.

Its speed is so fast that, in the blink of an eye, it has reached a speed a hundred times faster than light.

Moreover, this speed is still increasing!

The endless dimension is not the material world; its speed limit is infinite, at least according to the wizard's records, there is no such limit.

If he has the ability, Richard could achieve speeds ten thousand times faster than light.

The material world is practically an infinitely large cage for beings of the dominant level; endless dimensions are the most suitable world for them.

...The infinite dimensions are as endless as the astral plane, but compared to the world cluster structure of the astral plane, the distribution of dimensions in the infinite dimensions is much more uniform.

And uniformity means that the chance of encountering living organisms becomes very small.

Even illusory and cursed creatures are extremely rare in the vast, endless dimensions.

Richard traveled through endless dimensions at a speed a thousand times faster than light for nearly a year, and during that year, he didn't see a single life.

This made Richard somewhat frustrated.

Dimensional exploration is also a highly profitable activity for the Overlord, as most of those illusory and cursed creatures can be used as research material.

If you're lucky, you might even encounter various monsters banished from the material world.

While the secrets of these things won't significantly improve Richard's strength, discovering even one secret that could enhance his power would be a huge gain.

But he encountered nothing along the way.

It was as if... something had scared them away.

Roar!
Just as Richard was pondering, a roar that directly impacted his soul suddenly rang in his mind.

He turned his head and looked, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Suddenly, a rift opened in the void, and half of the body of a worm-like monster, resembling a sand worm, was banished into the endless dimension.

This worm-like monster was entirely yellowish-brown, and its enormous body, which was over five thousand meters long, was covered with tentacles that resembled bone spurs.

For some unknown reason, this worm lacked intelligence. However, its extraordinary physique more than compensated for its intellectual deficiencies.

Without the blessing of the world's origin, even a typical level six native world lord wouldn't be able to defeat him.

"Hold on a little longer! This monster is about to be banished!"

Inside the world, several world lords, led by a level six world lord, are working hard to maintain a formation the size of the sky.

The array contains intricate runes, making it appear profound and unfathomable.

However, if there were even one great wizard present, the efficiency of this formation would more than double.

Suddenly, the worm that was being exiled began to struggle violently.

It was as if they had encountered some kind of heaven and earth.

The world lords who maintained the formation changed their expressions drastically. The impact of the struggling worms on the formation was something even they could not withstand.

boom!
Suddenly, a world lord at the edge of the formation exploded, his azure blood staining the sky. With his explosion, the collapse of the entire formation accelerated by dozens of times.

In less than a millisecond, two more world rulers exploded and died.

The collapse of the formation was inevitable.

A hint of despair appeared in the eyes of the World Lord who was in charge of the formation. Could it be that even with all their preparations, they still couldn't banish this ferocious beast nurtured by the origin of the world?
The next moment, the worm monster that was struggling to burrow into the world suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterward, as the formation was on the verge of collapse, the worm's body began to retreat rapidly.

It was as if someone was grabbing it from behind.

Endless dimensions.

Richard held the worm in one hand, slowly pulling it out of the world. The slow extraction wasn't because the worm was particularly strong, but simply because Richard wanted it to come out intact.

As the last segment of the insect was pulled out, Richard laughed heartily.

"Haha, finally found something, and it's even a level six creature, not bad, not bad."

After swallowing the worm, Li checked and saw the dimensional rift that had not yet healed, and glanced at it with some curiosity.

Inside the world, the world lords who were in charge of the formation stared stiffly at the sky.

At the gap where they had exiled the worm-like monster, a huge eye watched them as if observing worms in a bottle.

"Perhaps a beacon can be left in an indigenous world."

Although he hadn't entered the world, Richard keenly sensed that the rules of this native world were somewhat unusual.

After the war ends, he might be able to come to this world and do some research.

After thinking it over, Richard didn't hesitate and simply used his dimensional power to condense a dimensional beacon commonly used by wizards and threw it in.

It's just a casual thing anyway.

But within the world, the world's rulers gazed upon this strange creation from beyond the heavens, and countless thoughts raced through their minds.

The difference in their levels of civilization meant they couldn't understand what this beacon was at all.

Finally, the world lord who was presiding over the formation spoke up: "Let's enshrine this. That nameless being helped us defeat that beast, so it's unlikely to be an evil being."

Perhaps we'll see him again someday.

……

The distance between the furnace-people dimension is extremely far.

Following the directions, Richard flew for a full ten years before finally finding the place. Converted to the material world, this is equivalent to a distance of ten thousand light-years, roughly the diameter of the territory occupied by the wizarding civilization.

But thankfully, it was all worth it.

Looking at the crimson dimension before him, the mark on Richard's forehead became intensely hot.

The Furnace Man Dimension was right before him, and two even weaker dimensions were wrapped around it.

The civilization dimensions of the three major civilizations in the Civilization Alliance still exist!
