The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 880 Meeting the World Tree

Upon entering the World Tree, Carlo easily made his way to the Mother Tree.

As the progenitor of the Tree Spirit race, the Great World Tree naturally also possesses Tree Spirits. Or rather, Tree Spirits were an unexpected creation of the Great World Tree in its attempt to escape its predicament.

The interior of the World Tree is very vast, with passages leading in all directions.

The tree spirits coming and going bowed to Carlo, clearly indicating that Carlo was a regular visitor here.

At the end of the road was a palace, a palace of immense size; when Carlo entered, it was as if a tiny man had entered the room of a giant.

However, the palace was completely empty. There was nothing in the vast palace.

In the center of the palace, there was something that resembled a flower bed.

In the flower bed, a tree spirit that looked somewhat old stood quietly.

The tree spirit's bark was black, and its leaves were sparse. The leaves, which should have been emerald green, now had a hint of yellowish-green.

However, this Tree Spirit Mountain exudes an unimaginable and immense vitality.

He stood there, his aura blending perfectly with the surrounding environment, as if he had been there since time immemorial.

"Mother tree".

Carlo came to the side of the Great World Tree and gently shook the canopy, making a rustling sound.

The Great World Tree opened the eyes on its trunk; its eyes were somewhat yellowish, like the eyes of an old man.

"Carlo, why do you think there are always people who want war?"

Carlo replied respectfully, “Because war is in their favor, Mother Tree. I once heard a saying: ‘Some people will do a job that risks their life, but no one will do a job that loses money.’ What does war matter as long as it’s profitable?”

"What does it matter..." The voice of the Great World Tree carried a deep sense of helplessness. "This war was already extremely dangerous, and in the end, even this old man like me had to go to the battlefield."

Now that things have finally stopped, instead of recuperating, Youming wants to reignite the war.

"Have the stench of corpses spurted out of the minds of the Ghost Horde?"

Carlo remained silent upon hearing this; he was not yet qualified to comment on a ruler.

The Great World Tree ignored Carlo and continued to ramble on, "Youming said that the reason the Cursed Demons stopped their attack this time must be because there is some major problem inside."

We must seize this opportunity and strike first, otherwise we'll be doomed once the cursed demon recovers.

But didn't he consider that war might help heal the internal problems of the Cursed Demon?

Moreover, no one knows whether the cursed demon has actually encountered any problems.

He was rash and reckless, without considering the consequences if his guess was wrong.

Alas, these short-lived creatures, their vision is always so narrow…

Carlo remained silent, listening only to the Great World Tree complaining about the foolishness of the Netherworld rulers of the Netherworld.

He knew his advice was useless, and listening quietly was the only thing he could do.

The Great World Tree complained for a long time, but finally, he stopped and looked at his child.

Carlo was His favorite child because Carlo looked most like Him.

"Little Carlo, what brings you here today?"

Carlo shook the tree canopy and replied, “Mother Tree, I met the ruler of an alien civilization a few days ago. I offered him treasures in exchange for knowledge, but he did not agree. In addition to the treasures, he hopes that I can act as a go-between to meet you in private.”

Carlo did not hide his purpose; the Great World Tree was his father, his mother, his mentor, and the object of his reverence.

He would not tell any lies to the Great World Tree.

"Oh, the ruler of an alien civilization wants to see me in private?"

The Great World Tree listened to Carlo's story, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.

Meeting him is not difficult, but to meet him privately as the ruler of an alien civilization is something worth mentioning.

According to the Windcatchers, the entire world is at war. Their wizards are said to have formed an alliance with several civilizations to fight against a terrible one.

"Little Carlo, what did that ruler look like to you?" the Great World Tree asked slowly.

"A fleshy human, an upright creature, with four limbs, and it seems to have four eyes as well."

Four?

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Great World Tree. Carlo's previous description had almost convinced him that this ruler was a wizard.

But the sight of four eyes made him hesitate for a moment.

If he remembers correctly, the wizard should only have two eyes.

However, the alchemist once said that wizards are a race that likes to modify themselves, so a wizard with four eyes is not unusual.

“Then let him come over,” the Great World Tree said. “I also want to hear what he has to say and why he insists on meeting in private.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Mother Tree,” Carlo said respectfully.

The Great World Tree remained silent; the eyes on its trunk closed, as if it were asleep. Seeing this, Carlo quietly withdrew from the vast, yet empty palace.

……

News of the agreed meeting quickly reached Richard's ears. At the time, he was hunting wandering spirits and mist spirits in the Bewitching Dimension.

"……okay, I get it."

Richard responded with a casual flick of his wrist, and the dark mountain and sea shattered a Mist Spirit comparable to a level six creature.

Unlike the Ghost Mask, which was almost destroyed by the Dimensional Annihilation Cannon—the Ghost Mask was almost completely destroyed after the Dimensional Annihilation Cannon, and it is currently in Richard's soul, recovering together with Richard's soul.

Although the Mountain and Sea were almost completely destroyed in the Dimensional Collapse Cannon, their essence changed after merging with the Dimensional Threads.

As long as one link in the mountain and sea system still exists, it's as if the system hasn't suffered any damage.

As long as dimensional power is injected, the mountains and seas will soon return to their original state.

In the final moments before Richard's Dimensional Collapse Cannon struck, he placed a portion of the Mountain and Sea into the dimension. Therefore, the Mountain and Sea can still be used by Richard at this moment.

As for the Hermit's Robe, which caused all of this, it, like the Mask of the Demon, merged with Richard's soul. But unlike the Mask of the Demon, the Hermit's Robe only requires dimensional power to restore itself, and it has now been restored to its original state, currently concealing all of Richard's fate.

He pulled the body of the level six Mist Spirit into his hands. In a sense, the Mist Spirit is a parasitic organism.

They parasitize the bodies of creatures that enter the mist, gradually mutating these creatures' bodies until they become half flesh and half mist.

[Material: The body of a Level 6 Mist Spirit]

[Refinable Substances: Soul Essence, Mist Matrix]

[Refining Cost: 500000000 Mana]

Upon selecting the refinement option, the Level 6 Mist Spirit's body vanished instantly, replaced by Soul Essence and Mist Matrix that floated above the Miracle Furnace an hour later.

After consuming the soul essence, Richard's mental power was enhanced once again.

"Three thousand points of mental energy... should be enough."

After several months of hunting, Richard had successfully restored his mental strength to 3,000 points. This mental strength was sufficient for him to use most of his abilities.

Moreover, he also had the Overlord Puppet Core sent by Carlo.

Richard had already extracted the blueprints for the puppet's core, and its perfect construction left him in awe. Furthermore, Richard unexpectedly discovered that this core also possessed the ability to self-heal.

If Richard provides it with enough of the four elements and enough energy, it can multiply into a Dominator-level puppet body.

After discovering this ability, Richard solidified four rifts leading to the four elemental realms in Ral's world, and used his own flesh and blood to create a stable functional machine to assist in the core's recovery.

Once the core of the puppet had fully multiplied, Richard would have a Dominator-level puppet.

With this level of strength, even if the World Tree wanted to harm him, he could escape unscathed.

After thinking it over, Richard casually opened a dimensional rift and returned to the astral plane.

Three months later, in the Tree Spirit Mother World.

"You are the Miracle Lord?"

Before the passage leading to the Mother Tree Palace, the tree spirit steward looked at Richard, who was following behind Carlo, and asked very cautiously.

“Yes, it’s me.” Richard nodded slightly.

"Greetings, Lord Miracle, your master has been waiting for you for a long time."

As it spoke, the tree spirit approached Richard and gestured for him to come in. Meanwhile, Carlo was completely ignored by it, standing outside.

Carlo was about to say something when the tree spirit interrupted him, saying, "Lord Carlo, this is the master's order. He does not wish for a third person to be present during his meeting with this lord."

"This is."

Richard looked around at the structure inside the magnificent World Tree. The Tree Spirit's mother world was a medium-sized world, but the moment he entered this world, he sensed that it was actually the World Tree's world.

The origin of the world and the World Tree have reached a symbiotic relationship, and the evolutionary level of this World Tree far exceeds that of the one in the Corona.

Everything about this tree was a rare and invaluable piece of knowledge for the wizard.

"My Lord Miracle, please follow me."

Richard looked down at the tree spirit and calmly replied, "Mm."

As Richard followed the tree spirit, he could feel the life force around him growing stronger, accompanied by an increasingly intense pressure.

When he reached the end of the passage, he saw an old tree spirit.

All the vitality and pressure he saw came from the seemingly frail old tree spirit before him.

"Hehe, as expected of a wizard." The Great World Tree chuckled. "I am the World Tree, the head of the Natural Federation."

"Miracle Wizard, what brings you to me in private? I heard you're at war with a terrible civilization."

Richard smiled slightly and slowly walked to the Great World Tree.

"I have two purposes for coming here, and the latter must be based on the completion of the former."

"Oh?" The Great World Tree's voice carried a hint of curiosity. "So what is your essential goal that you must accomplish?"

Richard stood before the Great World Tree.

"I want to mediate the war between the Natural Federation and the Cursed Demon Empire."
