The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 862 Spirit Desert Civilization
Crossing the territory occupied by civilization devourers to reach that unknown civilization is no easy task.

Richard had to keep his anti-divination magic active at all times, and he also had to ensure that when he left the endless dimension, he would arrive in the region of that unknown civilization.

Otherwise, he would almost certainly have been discovered by the civilization devourers.

According to intelligence gathered from the wizards' attack, the occupied territories of the civilization devourers are teeming with wandering legions.

These legions must be making some kind of deployment, but neither the wizards nor the rulers of the Abyss of Gods could discern what the Civilization Devourers were doing.

However, one thing is certain: the civilization devourers are plotting a massive conspiracy.

After leaving the world of ghosts and monsters, Richard flew for almost two more years.

In his calculations, this distance was more than enough. Unless that unknown civilization had collapsed, this distance would definitely not be the territory occupied by civilization devourers.

If things have already collapsed, then even if he flies forward, it will be of no use.

Upon leaving the endless dimension, the raging ether instantly filled the space around Richard.

This substance, which was harmful to Richard when he was still a mortal, is no different from air to Richard now.

With each breath, Richard felt his body become more active.

Although the void of endless dimensions has no restrictions, it is too vast for beings in the material world.

The space inside is so empty that the energy is almost negligible, and the matter is so sparse that it is almost non-existent.

Even though Richard had an abundance of energy and matter due to the annihilation of elements, staying in this environment for an extended period would still cause him discomfort.

Of course, it was just discomfort.

Richard glanced around and sighed. He wasn't having much luck; as far as he could see, there wasn't a single world from which he could observe the World Wall.

"Sigh, my luck isn't very good."

However, although he did not observe the world up close, the world existed in all directions around him.

He just needs to go out a few more times, and he will eventually get closer to the world.

With a thought, a dimensional rift appeared before Richard. A second after entering the material world, he returned to the endless dimension.

Enter, come out, enter, come out...

In less than three days, Richard traveled back and forth between the endless dimensions and the astral plane dozens of times. Finally, on his forty-second journey, he arrived at the outskirts of a world.

“Phew, that was really tough,” Richard wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead. “I really don’t know how those illusory dimensional beings managed to find the world so precisely.”

Less than 100,000 kilometers away, there exists a dazzling world. Judging from the thickness of the world wall, it should be a medium-sized world.

Generally speaking, even if a war is taking place in such a world, there will certainly be important figures from that civilization.

"Let's sneak in and take a look, see what's going on with this civilization," Richard thought to himself.

Although his visit could almost be considered "humanitarian aid," it's always good to be cautious and gather as much intelligence as possible.

After thinking it over, Richard casually snapped off a section of his little finger. This section of the little finger floated in the air and quickly transformed into an avatar at the level of a world lord.

Richard's strength was already formidable, and sealing himself off would be too troublesome. Moreover, he was constantly pushing his body to its limits with the power of the mountains and seas, which, now infused with the power of the abyss, weighed as much as a giant continent.

If he were to seal himself off now, he would inevitably have to abandon the suppression of the mountains and seas, which would be tantamount to wasting all his previous efforts.

As the clone took shape, Richard separated a wisp of his soul and entered it. In an instant, the clone's previously lifeless eyes suddenly became lively.

Sealing a ruler is difficult, but sealing a world lord is much easier.

Richard casually waved his hand, and hundreds of thousands of wizard runes sealed away the clone.

After learning the Ghost Craftsman's Ghost Forging Techniques, his understanding of runes improved significantly.

He can now absorb the essence of the Hearthstone runes and then supplement and expand the Wizard's rune system.

Although this may seem like a waste of time, since he was using advanced applications of the Hearthstone Runes, it would not be applied to mid-to-low-level combat forces.

However, its greatest significance lies in expanding the rune system.

To become a leader, one should ideally possess both strength and contribution.

Once the seal was complete, Richard's clone merged into the World Wall like a meteorite.

After passing through layers of scrutiny by the World Wall, this clone fell from the sky like a real meteorite.

boom!
Richard's clone landed, partially releasing the seal, and took a look at this unfamiliar world.

“...It’s actually a world of imbalance.” Richard said with some surprise.

All around him, the boundless yellow sand and bizarre boulders set the tone for this world.

Richard could clearly sense that there was a severe imbalance of earth element within a unit of space in this world.

Without a doubt, the world before us is a world with a slight imbalance of earth element.

However, medium-sized worlds with elemental imbalances are rare. At least in Richard's recollection, worlds with elemental imbalances of this magnitude do not exist.

Worlds with elemental imbalances are considered flawed creations among worlds. As these worlds grow, their elements become increasingly unbalanced. When this imbalance reaches a certain point, the entire world will fall into the elemental domain and become part of it.

A medium-sized world with elemental imbalance has theoretically exceeded the critical value for falling into the elemental realm.

Unless… the environment he's experiencing right now is man-made. "Is this civilization some kind of semi-elemental being? Or is this some kind of natural refuge for semi-elemental beings?"

Although the term "nature reserve" sounds strange, at a level of civilization, some degree of species protection is necessary.

After all, nobody knows whether these things will come in handy in the future.

Richard shook his head, brushing the sand out of his hair and banishing his thoughts from his mind.

He has too little information to make any judgments. If he forms a preconceived judgment at this point, his subsequent information gathering will definitely be biased.

Richard raised his hand and cast a concealment spell on himself, from optical invisibility to sound concealment, and then to odor elimination and mental shielding.

After a complete set of witchcraft, even if the Sovereign arrives, he might overlook Richard's clone if he doesn't look closely.

With everything prepared, Richard began his exploration. He flew as close to the ground as possible, then sped off in a due east direction.

There, he vaguely saw traces of some man-made objects.

……

the weather is nice today.

Shi Dangdang felt the warmth of the sun on his body and thought to himself.

As a pure sand spirit, the sun is of paramount importance to him. The sun's radiance not only keeps their bodies dry, but is also an essential source of energy for young sand spirits.

Shi Dangdang shifted her body slightly, allowing every grain of sand on her body to be exposed to the sunlight, thus expelling moisture from her body.

But not long after, a shadow that appeared out of nowhere suddenly covered most of his body.

"Huh? Where did these clouds come from?"

Shi Dangdang was a little annoyed. Just when she was enjoying the sun, a cloud came along. What bad luck!

He lazily shifted his body, trying to escape the shadow. But strangely, no matter how he moved, the shadow remained on him.

As he moved around, Shi Dangdang grew increasingly agitated. Finally, he leaped up from the sand, sending countless black grains of sand soaring into the sky and transforming into something resembling a gargoyle.

"Yu Dingdong, aren't you annoying me?!"

"Yu Dingdong, aren't you annoying...? You communicate by voice too?"

The unfamiliar voice snapped Shi Dangdang out of his anger. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person in front of him was not his friend Yu Dingdong, but a strange creature in black robes.

Judging from the exposed features of this creature, it should be a flesh-and-blood human.

But shouldn't flesh-and-blood people be kept in underground protected areas?

"How did you get up here? Get back to the reserve right now."

Following the example of the elders he remembered, Shi Dangdang sent a mental message to the figure in black robes.

But the message the figure in black robes sent him left him somewhat bewildered.

"Back to the protected area, it seems you are the main race of this civilization."

Suddenly, Shi Dangdang sensed an indescribable, terrifying pressure. Under this pressure, he looked at the black-robed figure and spoke to him via mental message:

"Hello, I am a miracle wizard from the wizarding civilization. Now, please introduce this world to me."

……

"So that's it."

Richard nodded thoughtfully. Before him, the sand sculpture that Shi Dangdang had transformed into was trembling.

According to Shi Dangdang, the civilization he currently belongs to is called the Spirit Desert Civilization. The main race is the sand spirit, like Shi Dangdang.

This civilization's great expansion began relatively late, even about an era later than the wizards. However, it possessed many powerful individuals, including five rulers alone, and above them, there was a mysterious prophet named Desert.

However, perhaps because he was just a cub, Shi Dangdang was not very clear about the situation of the war on the front lines.

"Alright, stop using shockwaves to send messages."

Li Kan looked at the trembling Shi Dangdang and calmly spoke.

"Your little tricks can't fool anyone with a little knowledge. If you want to tip someone off, just be direct."

Upon hearing Richard's words, Shi Dangdang, who was trembling, immediately froze.

He thought he had disguised himself well enough, but the fleshy man who called himself the Miracle Wizard saw right through him.

However, it was too late to stop him at that moment.

He had already passed the information to his best friend Yu Dingdong, and the law enforcement team would arrive soon.

As the thought crossed his mind, subtle shockwaves traveled through the soil.

Richard opened his four eyes, and as far as he could see, a group of enormous creatures that looked like half-elemental beings were flying toward him.

"Dragon?"
