The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 806 Three Trials
"The three dimensions are actually intertwined, which is really good news."

As he examined the three intertwined dimensions, his smile gradually broadened.

Putting aside everything else, even the weakest of these three dimensions, if he were to swallow it, he would immediately become the Eighth Ring Truth.

Now, the three dimensions are intertwined.

If he were to devour them all, his miracle dimension would likely be comparable to that of a wizarding civilization.

"No, no, I need to calm down."

Richard rubbed his face, calming himself down.

He knew that these three dimensions would not be allowed to be devoured like a corpse.

Especially the dimension of the furnace people.

Although the civilization of the Hearth People no longer exists, the race of the Hearth People still exists.

Even after a million years of decline, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

The dimensional backlash triggered by devouring a dimension was something that a newly promoted Star Realm Overlord like him could not withstand.

The guiding line extends from the mark on Richard's forehead into the main trunk of the Hearthman dimension, seemingly guiding Richard into it.

"Shall we go in? Fine."

Looking at the guiding line, Li thought to himself, "Now that I've come this far, I can't leave empty-handed." He turned around and followed the guiding line into the dimension.

Upon entering the dimension, one is immediately met with a scorching wind.

The gale whipped up the flames, sweeping across the land like waves.

On the vast plains, countless charred furnace-men wandered aimlessly. A gust of burning wind blew by, and mournful howls echoed across the plains.

"Is this the dimension of the Furnace People?"

Li surveyed his surroundings, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

This hellish scene is clearly not what a civilized dimension should look like.

Something unusual must have happened.

Looking up at the sky, the sky of the Furnace Dimension was pitch black, but in that abyss-like depth, there was a blazing sun.

To be more precise, it is a furnace that constantly overflows with fire.

The moment Richard saw the fire, he felt a jolt of electricity run through his body.

A gaze was projected from the furnace!
The next moment, the furnace, which resembled a giant star, seemed to lose its power and crashed towards Richard's location like a meteor.

At the same time, endless crimson flames surged from the furnace. Richard felt a deadly sense of danger emanating from those flames.

"Has this dimension been contaminated?"

Richard frowned slightly, and in a flash, he arrived outside the point where the furnace would land.

The first possibility Richard considered was that the dimension had been corrupted by the power of the civilization devourers.

After all, this furnace dimension is part of the furnace human inheritance, so there's no reason for it to be so dangerous.

unless……

Flames engulfed Richard, the crimson flames and scorching winds engulfing his body.

Richard remained expressionless. Although his body cells were constantly turning to ashes under the furnace fire, he did not immediately use his dimensional power to resist.

boom!
With a low, booming sound, golden flames of miracle instantly enveloped Richard's body.

The moment Richard was enveloped in golden flames, the previously dangerous fires instantly avoided him as if they had encountered an emperor.

During this process, not a single fire was ignited by the Miracle Fire, nor did the slightest bit of civilization-devouring power appear.

"It doesn't seem to be contaminated; that's just how the process works."

Boom!

With a deafening roar like an earthquake, the furnace fell from the sky.

The near-tangible impact swept across the plain in an instant, turning countless charred furnace dwellers to ashes under the shockwave, but Richard didn't even flinch at the hem of his robe.

"So, what happened?"

Richard looked at the furnace that had fallen from the sky and asked calmly.

A ball of fire flowed from the furnace, which then transformed into a giant furnace man the same size as Richard's real body.

"Nothing happened."

His gaze swept across the land, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

"Everything here is a reflection of what the people of the furnace have experienced over the years."

Richard was somewhat surprised. His gaze swept around, and as far as he could see, not a single furnace dweller was no longer suffering.

Could it be that the final forging by the furnacemen drew the souls of all the furnacemen into the Miracle Forge and burned them?

But that doesn't make sense either. The furnace people aren't purely physical beings; if a furnace person doesn't have a soul, they will definitely die.

Moreover, it's not like wizards haven't studied the Hearth People; they know the Hearth People have souls.

Not to mention, the newly formed furnace people did not participate in the final forging at all.

"So, what exactly happened?" Richard asked again.

The Spirit of the Furnace sighed softly: "This is the price. The furnace fire needs souls to sustain it. At the moment the forging is completed, all the furnace workers are bound to the Supreme Furnace. In order for that flame to continue, a portion of the souls of all the furnace workers will be separated and enter the furnace."

Richard frowned slightly: "A congenital soul defect? ​​If so, then everything makes sense."

Intelligence is a very common ability for living organisms. As long as they reach a certain level of strength, almost any living organism can develop advanced intelligence.

However, all of this is predicated on the soul being intact.

If one's soul is congenitally flawed, wisdom instantly becomes an unattainable dream. Even acquired soul defects can affect intelligence.

The Fire Spirit looked at Richard, and in those fiery eyes, Richard saw scrutiny and a deeply hidden disappointment.

Richard is too young and too weak.

"Later generations, although you possess the furnace, in order to ensure that you are truly qualified and capable of inheriting this final legacy..."

You must pass a trial.

Richard narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious.

"What trial? What are its contents?"

The Fire Spirit raised his hands high, and in the next moment, the endless fire of the furnace transformed into countless furnace runes.

These flame-like runes intertwined, forming a massive, self-changing rune model that trapped Richard within it.

"The trial has three stages, this is the first. Break this seal and you'll pass. If you want to give up, you can do so at any time... huh?"

With a loud "bang," the seal, comparable to a thirteen-ring self-changing rune model, was easily broken by Richard.

Furnace Spirit stared dumbfounded at the broken seal.

Before he could finish speaking, the seal was broken.
Did he get his rune model wrong?
Richard stretched his body slightly, allowing his cells, which had become somewhat sluggish from the long flight, to slowly revive. He said calmly, "Alright, now let's talk about the second stage."

Furnace Spirit snapped out of her shock and asked incredulously, "How did you do that?"

"What? How did you do that?" Richard frowned and asked. "Does breaking this seal require a special method?"

"There's no specific solution, but how did you crack it so quickly?"

The way the Fire Spirit looked at Richard was as if he were looking at a monster.

"Even if the high priest is trapped in this seal, it is impossible to break the seal so quickly."

Richard raised an eyebrow. The High Priest that Furnace Spirit mentioned was the Furnace Person who was in charge of the highest furnace sacrifices among the Furnace People, and was the most knowledgeable person among the Furnace People.

To receive this evaluation, it seems his speed is indeed somewhat beyond the norm.

“It’s simple, I used dimensional abilities,” Richard replied calmly. “Although this complex rune seal has a huge redundancy to resist errors caused by the flow of runes.”

However, it is undeniable that every mistake increases the probability of subsequent mistakes.

And I happen to be able to influence the probability.

The Miracle Dimension grants Richard the ability to elevate low-probability events to high-probability ones. With this ability, Richard can cause a massive number of rune errors simply by attacking the rune seal at a high frequency.

He himself is quite knowledgeable about the runes of the furnace people, and he can break the seal as long as there is a slight flaw in it.

"Influence probability? This seems to be the ability of those crystal leaders. It seems they left something behind as well."

The Fire Spirit's gaze was filled with surprise. Although Richard's approach was somewhat opportunistic, it was Richard's own ability, and there was nothing wrong with a creature making good use of its abilities.

Moreover, even if one possesses the ability to influence probabilities, without a deep understanding of Hearthstone runes, it's impossible for an average person to accumulate so many mistakes so quickly.

It's even less likely that they could break the seal by taking advantage of that fleeting opening.

"You've passed this test."

The scrutiny and disappointment in Furnace Spirit's eyes disappeared, replaced by a hint of anticipation.

With a casual wave of his hand, all the surrounding flames vanished, and the flames of the entire plain flowed into the furnace like rivers flowing into the sea.

The Fire Spirit came to the furnace, hoisted it onto its back, and transformed into a giant Titan.

"The second challenge is to defeat me without using the Supreme Forge, but with your current strength, that's absolutely impossible."

As he examined the furnace fire spirit, every cell in his body became unusually active.

He felt an unprecedented pressure from the Fire Spirit, a pressure that made him feel suffocated, but at the same time it made him full of fighting spirit.

The abyssal power within him flowed ceaselessly, transforming into an energy cycle complex to the cellular level.

This is the Abyss Evolution Field recorded by the Titan Body Cultivation Method. Although the Titan Body Cultivation Method has taken a new path, Richard's current physique has not yet reached that fork in the road.

Before that, he still had to follow the old path of conventional physical evolution.

And this Furnace Spirit in front of him is the best catalyst for his evolution!
Why jump to conclusions so early?

Richard took out Titan's Hammer, its runes shining like stars.

"Oh? It seems that the Titan King left something behind."

Furnace Spirit looked at Richard, and flames that seemed to be real flowed from the furnace on his shoulder. The flames wrapped around the furnace and turned into crimson chains.

"Since you insist on this, I won't stop you. If you feel you can't hold on, remember to admit defeat in time. Otherwise..."

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Furnace Spirit, and the furnace in his hand was thrown out like a meteor hammer, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth was crumbling, unstoppable.

"Otherwise, you will surely die."
