The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 889 The Second Federal Conference

Although the Great World Tree claimed it would take three days to decipher, his cracking actually took a full half month.

Although most of the internal structure of this interdimensional communicator is based on the technology of the previous civilization alliance, the part that has been modified happens to be related to the information storage of the communicator.

If the Great World Tree hadn't been constantly exploring the truth and increasing its knowledge over the years, this machine would probably have had to be handled by the sovereigns of the Wizarding Alliance.

……

The Great World Tree removed a tiny tumor from the interdimensional communicator that it had disassembled into parts.

Sprouts sprouted on his hands, tiny, white fibers connecting with the tumor and continuously supplying energy to it.

Soon, a layer of fluorescence appeared on the surface of the tumor, and the information stored inside was transmitted into the Great World Tree through the fibers.

"It's done."

The Great World Tree breathed a sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from its shoulders.

"Although this monster has changed the storage medium, the new technology it uses is still the technology of a certain extinct civilization from the past."

Richard nodded slightly, then asked somewhat urgently, "What are the coordinates of this communicator?"

"Don't rush, let me translate it carefully."

The Great World Tree closed his eyes in deep thought, as information from the tumor collided in his mind, transforming into coordinate data.

"a4561, b4587, c7584... How could this world exist!"

Suddenly, the Great World Tree, which was translating coordinates, exclaimed in surprise. Richard, seeing this, immediately asked, "Which world is this?"

The Great World Tree opened its eyes, its face filled with disbelief.

"These coordinates are the mother world of the Youha Clan, the true mother world! This place is watched over by the Netherworld and the Ghosts every day, how could it possibly be corrupted?"

Although the Great World Tree had suspected that the Dark Horde were the traitors, when the facts were laid bare before him, he still felt a sense of disbelief.

Youming was a proud, even arrogant, ruler. Even before he became a Limit Breaker, he showed no weakness in resisting the mental enslavement of the Cursed Demon Emperor of the Cursed Demon Empire.

How could such a creature possibly side with a civilization devourer?!

But just as the Great World Tree was in shock, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

Richard burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Richard suddenly burst into laughter, and in that laughter, the Great World Tree detected a hint of mockery.

"As expected, as expected. In the end, the investigation still traced it back to the Youhai Clan."

Upon hearing this, the Great World Tree was stunned for a moment.

"You expected this all along?"

Richard stopped laughing and looked at the Great World Tree with wisdom in his eyes.

"I did have some suspicions about this, but it was still somewhat unexpected to confirm the news. 145, the Youhai Clan should be fine as expected. But if we investigate, we will definitely find something wrong."

The Great World Tree was completely bewildered by Richard's words.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by saying that the Youhai Clan is likely not the problem, but if we investigate, we're sure we'll find something wrong?"

Richard composed himself and slowly explained, "What I mean is that the Haunted Ones most likely have something hidden in their mother world, and that thing is related to the monster that devours civilizations."

However, this thing had no effect on the Ghost Clan; the Ghost Clan remained normal.

The Great World Tree was stunned again. He couldn't understand why Richard could come to such a conclusion.

To be honest, based on the intelligence he has obtained and the behavior of the Youhai Clan, the Youhai Clan can basically be labeled as traitors.

Richard smiled slightly and recounted what Ulysses had seen and heard.

Upon hearing this, the Great World Tree was so startled that its branches and leaves trembled.

"If you hadn't secretly sent someone to investigate, wouldn't we have been completely outmaneuvered by that traitor?"

The traitor had calculated that the Mechanical Overlord would invite Richard to inspect the contamination, and that Richard would be able to find the Tide Spirit Merchant Guild. He had also calculated that Richard would recognize the interdimensional communicator and that Richard would be able to decipher its information.

If Richard can decipher the information, the coordinates of the Darkworld's mother world will surely be discovered.

If the Haunted Creatures have indeed hidden something belonging to the civilization devourers in the mother world, then regardless of whether the Haunted Creatures agree to the investigation, they will attract suspicion towards them.

At that time, as long as an opportunity is created, Richard can infiltrate the Mother World of the Haunted and "accidentally" discover that thing.

The Youhai Clan has now been branded as a traitor.

“Isn’t that how the plan works?” Richard said softly. “If we don’t do anything outside the plan, then everything we’ve done is part of someone else’s scheme.”

Unfortunately, the biggest fear with any plan is unpredictability.

The Great World Tree looked at Richard: "What do you plan to do?"

Richard smiled slightly: "Since he's set the stage for us, why don't we just go along with it? Their scheming is definitely not limited to just targeting the Youhai Clan."

Dirty water is still dirty water. As long as the Youhai Clan is truly clean, clearing their name later won't be a problem.

I suspect their true target isn't the Haunted Clan; the Haunted Clan is merely a disguise. Their real purpose must be something else entirely.

The Great World Tree scratched its head and broke off the branches that had grown on its head out of astonishment.

"Sigh, after so many years of leisure, my brain has really become a blockhead."

Richard laughed and said, "These little tricks are nothing but trifles. This place is not your battlefield."

"Then go and clean up these things. Once you're ready, I'll proceed with the second meeting."

How many coordinates are there?

“…quite a few, twenty-three, but I feel this number is definitely not the upper limit.” Richard sighed and stood up.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle."

……

boom!
Golden flames of miracle burned fiercely on the seabed, instantly incinerating an underwater city. The furnace people and Titans within were all transformed into part of the flames of miracle.

Richard watched all of this silently, his eyes unusually calm.

Even though he could hear the cries of the Hearthmen and Titans clearly, his mind did not waver in the slightest.

They are all just puppets and illusions of the past.

The traces of civilization devourers must be eradicated.

Soon, the city vanished into nothingness. Richard recalled the map and a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Finally finished."

It took Richard almost half a year to clear out these worlds. During this time, he kept discovering interdimensional communicators and finding new coordinates from them.

Just as Richard had predicted, all of these interdimensional communicators contained the coordinates of the Dark Horde's mother world.

Even a fool could see that there's definitely something wrong with the mother world of the Youhai race.

Meanwhile, Ulises' investigation continued to deepen.

Ulises traced the original Xiling Merchant Guild and discovered that the guild's management structure was extremely complex, with managers above managers and bosses above bosses.

Following the chain of events upwards, he also discovered a chamber of commerce alliance, whose sphere of influence just happened to cover the worlds he had consulted.

Moreover, even with Richard's world being wiped out, the guild continued to operate without any problems, as if their supplies were simply growing out of their warehouses.

This anomaly almost screams "the henchman of civilization devourers."

Both Richard and Ulysses could sense that they were only one step away from the truth.

After the cleanup was complete, Richard took out a palm-sized sapling from his pocket.

This is an avatar of the Great World Tree, containing a trace of its soul.

Richard said to the potted plant, "145, the cleanup is complete. Let's prepare to convene the Federal Conference."

"So fast? Okay, I'll notify them to convene a federal meeting right away."

Have you contacted him?

"I contacted him, and he said he would cooperate."

After the communication ended, Richard put the potted plant in his pocket, turned around, and left this world to enter the dimension of wonders.

In this dimension, an alter ego of Richard is editing the personality of a Titan's soul, with books about personality and soul standing beside him, each one taller than a person.

These books came from the Wizarding Alliance. After the technical exchange agreement was reached, the Alliance gradually relaxed its guard against technical exchanges.

The wizard opened the library of previous civilizations to other civilizations within the alliance, and the other civilizations also brought out their most treasured technologies.

The more the Wizard Alliance came into contact with the Civilization Devourers, the more cautious they became about their attitude towards them.

Under the pressure of civilization devourers, the selfish mentality within the Wizarding Alliance is disappearing, replaced by a spirit of unity and progress.

Survival is the primary driving force.

Richard arrived at Titan and took over the work of the clone.

This Dominator-level puppet body is far more useful than his own clone. With the assistance of the mind module, Richard's efficiency in personality editing has increased several times.

The meeting is still some time away, so he can take this time to catch up on his work.

Meanwhile, the clone who was replaced was not idle either. While the puppet Richard was editing his personality, he began to study the science of the soul.

Changing the soul's structure and enhancing its computing power are also on Richard's agenda.

Seven days later, Richard received a message from the Great World Tree that the Federal Conference had been convened again.

The theme of this conference... was the pollution caused by civilization devourers.

……

In front of the council hall, the several rulers who had recently been meeting together reunited.

But compared to the peaceful atmosphere last time, this time, every ruler could sense an undercurrent surging among them.

Suddenly, a dimensional gate opened, and Youming emerged from it, his face calm and composed.

"Ha, I'm the last one this time," Youming laughed.

The Great World Tree glanced at him and replied, "Let's have a meeting. We're all familiar with each other, so let's not waste time like last time."

Upon entering the hall, the rulers took their seats, in the same order as before.

Youming sat in his seat, his blood-red eyes suddenly narrowing.

His intuition told him that something was wrong in the atmosphere of the parliament hall.

The Great World Tree sat in the main seat and, as before, stated directly: "The theme of this meeting is the pollution from the civilization devourers. In the past period, this alchemist has found multiple instances of spreading pollution within our Natural Federation."

Within these contaminated areas, he found a special coordinate.

This coordinate system has appeared multiple times, and I personally deciphered it; its authenticity is beyond doubt.

As he spoke, the Great World Tree stared intently at the Netherworld Ruler opposite him.

"Youming, why do the coordinates of your Youha clan's mother world frequently appear in the interdimensional communicators of the civilization devourers' minions?"
