The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 823 Race against time
"Damn it, how did the Furnace People manage to sneak this kind of thing into the ruins?"

As he examined the black viscous liquid within the stagnant force field, he knew his guess was correct.

Before being sealed away, the civilization devourer had already prepared itself for being sealed away.

Fortunately, the wizards took great care in preserving these relics, using a stagnant field—a field that could repel all free elements and free energy—to preserve them.

Otherwise, the City of Eternal Truth would also be in trouble right now.

After sealing the slime, Richard didn't rush to clean up the slime that was rampaging inside the Wizarding World.

Wizards are not galaxies or mayflies; they don't have a mental network that allows memetic curses to spread.

Therefore, the slime inside the Wizarding World won't become a significant problem anytime soon.

He now needs to determine the extent of the damage to the wizarding civilization and crush the last remaining trace of this slime that could possibly become a significant force.

Richard didn't believe that all the relics of previous civilizations within the Wizarding Civilization had been explored.

Among those ruins that have not been explored by wizards, there must exist these civilization devourer fragments.

Upon arriving at the center of the City of Eternal Truth, the Archmage of the Blazing Sun, who was on duty, immediately stood up and bowed slightly upon seeing Richard's arrival.

"Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

Richard nodded slightly, his expression serious, and said, "From now on, all information channels will be under control, and no individual may use the magic network to upload information."

"Channel control?"

A look of astonishment flashed across the face of the Great Wizard of the Blazing Sun; he didn't understand why Richard had suddenly made such a request.

However, Richard's reasons for doing so were irrelevant to him; he was a wizard who knew the rules, and in this situation, he only needed to follow them.

"Controlling the entire civilization channel is a super command, which requires approval from the Council of Truth. Do you have any other tokens of the Crown, signatures, or..."

"Just do as I say."

Richard took out a scepter-like object from his pocket, and the moment the Archmage of the Sun saw the scepter, he instantly understood the importance of the matter.

"Information Department, Information Department, this is Chi Yang, this is Chi Yang. By order of the Truth Council, all civilian information channels are now under control."

"Repeat, all civilian information channels are now under control."

Upon hearing the command from the Great Wizard of the Blazing Sun, the members of the Eternal Truth City Information immediately fulfilled their duties.

"The Information Department has received it."

Following the Minister of Information's reply, the wizards of the Ministry of Information immediately suspended the use of all civilian information channels.

In an instant, all information and magical artifacts in the entire wizarding world ceased to function normally.

"what happened?"

"Your magical equipment is also having problems?"

"Is the base station broken?"

"Holy crap, what's going on? We're in a meeting!"

With the closure of the Wizarding World's information channel, other worlds of the Wizarding Civilization also began to implement information control.

In an instant, the neural network of the giant wizard civilization was largely paralyzed.

The City of Eternal Truth.

"Your Majesty, information control is complete. Are there any further instructions?" The Archmage of the Blazing Sun stood beside Richard and asked respectfully.

Richard nodded, a slight sense of relief washing over him.

Although wizards do not possess the mental web of galaxies and mayflies, their magical networks can still serve as a means of spreading meme curses.

Now that all civilian channels are under control, even if the meme curse spreads along the magic network, it won't cause any harm.

“Very good. Now activate the anti-meme curse on the military network, and then send a message to all the worlds,” Richard ordered again.

"Let the local world guardians patrol the world to see if any black slime has appeared."

If you discover the slime, do not attempt to handle it; immediately report it to the City of Eternal Truth. Isolate all creatures that have seen or come into contact with the slime.

If the guardian has come into contact with the slime, immediately seal itself away.

"Yes, Crown."

The Great Wizard of Blazing Sun relayed the order, and the next moment, the message was transmitted to all worlds of the wizarding civilization via the military information channel.

After hundreds of years of development, although there are only one or two thousand worlds that can serve as training grounds for demi-human wizards, there are far more worlds with demi-human wizards than that.

Demi-human wizards are creatures that can become world guardians; as long as they are released, world guardians will be produced steadily.

It's like getting a level 4 creature for free.

Wizards naturally go all out for such high-reward opportunities.

Apart from those worlds that have just been reclaimed, almost every world ruled by wizarding civilizations has a world guardian.

After delivering the message, Richard turned to look at the Great Wizard of the Blazing Sun.

"Notify Curse Mark to come over and have him execute the contingency plan for the meme curse disaster."

"Yes. The Crown."

After answering, the Archmage of the Blazing Sun hesitated for a moment, then asked Richard, "Your Majesty, what exactly happened? Is there a problem at the front?"

Richard sighed and said in a deep voice, "There are indeed problems at the front, but not the kind you're thinking of... I estimate it won't be long before we're fighting alongside the Star River Mayflies."

"Fighting alongside the mayflies of the Milky Way!?"

The Great Wizard of Blazing Sun was utterly astonished; the news was simply too shocking.

The wizards and the mayflies fought for over a thousand years. On the mayfly side, two rulers died, and hundreds of great wizards and mayfly kings perished, not to mention countless lower-level mayflies and wizards.

In the eyes of the Blazing Sun Wizard, even if the Star River Mayfly were willing to surrender, it would only be used as cannon fodder.

This hardly qualifies as fighting side by side.

Seeing the Grand Wizard of the Blazing Sun's astonished expression, Richard said earnestly, "There are only interests between civilizations, you should understand that. Adjust your mindset, and there will be more alliances between civilizations in the future." The Grand Wizard of the Blazing Sun's heart tightened, and he bowed solemnly to Richard.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I will adjust my mindset."

Richard nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared into the City of Eternal Truth.

As the Archmage of the Blazing Sun watched Richard disappear, he suddenly felt a vast current carrying him toward the future.

"Another huge wave is coming."

……

While Richard's clone dealt with the civilization devourer's fragments, Richard's main body was gathering mayflies world by world on the front lines.

Just as the dimensional incarnation of the mayfly said, wizards also need cannon fodder.

These mayflies of the world are ready-made cannon fodder.

As Richard gathered the mayflies, the wizarding army behind him began to advance.

Because of the existence of wormholes, wizards don't even need portals; they can simply rush forward through them.

They don't know what they're supposed to do, and they don't need to know what they're supposed to do.

They are a wizard legion, and all they can do is war.

As a member of the vanguard, Gao Wen piloted his war airship, leading his Dalian along with the main force.

"Hey boss, what do you think we're going to do here?"

Asu communicated with Gao Wen via a communication channel.

"We haven't seen a single insect along the way; this is clearly the work of the Crown Prince. Are we going to attack their home base?"

Gawain's voice came from Asu's helmet.

"Although I don't know what we're going to fight, I'm sure you're wrong. If it's an attack on the mother world of the Star River Mayfly, then we definitely won't be the ones to make the first move."

Such a scene, worthy of being recorded in history, would inevitably involve the personal presence of students from all the great wizards.

But neither I nor the other airship commanders had heard any rumors of a great wizard coming from the rear.

and……"

Gao Wen's voice carried a hint of worry.

"We're moving too fast, so fast that we're about to lose track of logistics. The materials we're carrying are all for defense."

This doesn't seem like an attack; it's more like a race against time—a race to set up a defensive line in some other world.

"Set up a defensive line? How is that possible?" A look of astonishment flashed across Asu's face. "Could it be that those insects were fighting on two fronts and are now being attacked from both sides?"

“I don’t know about that,” Gao Wen said truthfully, “but judging from what we brought, that should be the case.”

Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to bring so many fortification materials with us.

"This is really weird. It's not over after we've finished fighting the bugs, now we have to fight other things too." Asu's tone was a bit of a complaint.

"Will this war never end?"

"Shh, watch your words, Asu. Although the military law department doesn't really handle thought crimes anymore, you'd better be careful what you say."

I don't want to go to court-martial for you.

Gao Wen's voice suddenly turned stern, and Asu, realizing he had broken his promise, stopped talking nonsense.

In silence, the vast army began to travel through the wormhole to the next world.

……

Gulu, Gulu...

Bubbles gurgled on the black ocean, and apart from this tiny sound, the whole world was silent.

Using wormholes, the civilization devourers' fragments infected one world after another with astonishing efficiency.

Under the corrosive influence of the black liquid, the mayfly king could barely escape, but the minions could only become nourishment for the civilization devourers, becoming part of this black ocean.

Suddenly, a command from an endless dimension entered this silent world.

The command was sent into the ocean, but initially there was no response.

But as time went by, the bubbles in the black ocean began to increase, and ripples began to appear on the surface of the sea.

More and more bubbles appeared, the ripples grew larger and larger, and finally, a life emerged from the sea.

This is a furnace person.

Subsequently, more and more furnace dwellers emerged from the water.

These furnace workers were fully armed, and their equipment was almost identical.

It appears to be a legion.

Ten thousand people, twenty thousand people... one hundred thousand people, one million people!

In just six months, tens of millions of furnace dwellers appeared on the Black Ocean.

At the same time these furnace people were born, their war machines also emerged from the ocean.

A majestic war fortress, a fleet of warships that blots out the sky, and war chariots that resemble a horde of beasts.

The furnacemen boarded their war machines and then slowly rose into the air.

A crack appeared in the wall of the world, and war machines flew out of the world through the crack.

It was like an expedition.

……

The civilizations adjacent to the Milky Way mayfly were not limited to wizards.
