The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 898 The Expanding Alliance

A year is a very short time for a ruler; it might not even be enough to complete a short-term experiment. And for a civilization, this amount of time is even less significant.

But for the Natural Federation, the changes this year were nothing short of earth-shattering.

The Spectral Ghost left the dimension and returned to the Natural Federation. In the mother world of the Spectral Horde, he encountered the Netherworld.

"Chief, I'm back."

Inside the church, the ghost bowed slightly to the underworld, showing no disrespect despite its sudden increase in power.

Youming stood up, turned around, and examined Yougui's body.

"Not bad, that Miracle Wizard's skills with flesh and blood are indeed impressive."

Miracle Wizard?

The ghost was somewhat bewildered upon hearing this. Wasn't it the alchemist who gave him the body?
Youming saw the doubt in his heart and explained, "Alchemist is a pseudonym he used to fool us. His real name is Miracle Wizard."

As he spoke, he walked to the ghost's side and spat out a blood-red crystal.

"This is a backup of your memories. This purification process took a full year, so the pollution must have been extremely deep. You'll probably lose a lot of your memories during this purification."

Ghost was taken aback. Did he have a backup of his memories?
Without hesitation, he immediately absorbed the memory backup, and the next moment, a tidal wave of memories flooded into his brain.

Only then did Phantom realize that he had lost almost half of his memories.

A moment later, the ghost's memories returned, and he immediately asked about the Natural Federation.

"I heard from the Miracle Wizard in the dimension that there are no longer any Netherworld Clan members, only Netherworld Councilors. What's going on?"

“It’s very simple,” Youming said calmly. “The Natural Federation joined the Wizard Alliance, and in order to compete with other civilizations for influence, the Natural Federation’s structure was adjusted.”

The previous purely racial divisions no longer exist. Now, all the worlds where the Natural Federation is located are federal worlds, shared by us, the Tree Spirits, and the Winged People.

The ghost was startled by these words. He instinctively patted his head to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. But he didn't.

His scheme completely wiped out the Youhai Clan.

“Ghost, broaden your perspective,” Ghost said calmly. “The natural federation’s racial integration is not necessarily a bad thing.”

We no longer need to seek living space through war as we did in the past.

The reason why the Youhai race is so eager for war is not only because war is the source of their racial prosperity, but also because their own position is particularly awkward.

The territory of the Youha Clan is located near the edge of the World Cluster, and their expansion into the world is directed towards the Cursed Demon Empire and other races of the Natural Federation.

In the past, every time the Yggdrasil expanded its territory, it was by stealing food from other races.

However, after racial integration, this biggest problem for the Youha race disappeared.

All worlds are federated worlds, and the Yggdrasil race has opened its doors to both living space and future development opportunities.

The ghost was speechless for a moment; this change had a significant impact on him.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "So, we've joined that Wizarding Alliance now?"

"Correct."

"What about us and the Cursed Demon Empire?"

Youming Yun said calmly, "That's something the Cursed Demons need to consider. If they want to restart the war, the other members of the Wizard Alliance will join us as allies."

The Wizarding Alliance is not just an alliance against civilization devourers; it will also provide support to its members if they are attacked by other civilizations.

For a moment, the ghost was at a loss for words.

This is such a big change.

In just one year, the Youhai Clan solved the problem of living space and also solved the problem of the Cursed Demons.

"Let's go for a walk. We got a lot of good stuff from the Wizarding Alliance. I'll take you to see it," said Youming.

The ghost nodded.

He really needs to rethink the Natural Federation.

Their first stop was the original Tree Spirit Mother World, now the capital of the Natural Federation.

Stepping out of the dimensional portal, the Great World Tree saw the Phantom and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's purified so quickly? It looks pretty good."

The Great World Tree walked up to the Spectre, looked the Spectre up and down, and looked at it with a hint of surprise in its eyes.

"There is absolutely no pollution left."

The ghost stared blankly at the wooden giant before it.

Is this the Great World Tree?
Why did he start using humanoid forms?
Youming noticed Yougui's confusion and explained to him, "This old thing has concealed his past. His true identity is the World Tree, the world fortress of the Shepherd Titan."

Now that the Titans have returned, he has naturally returned to his own kind.

"The Titans have returned!?" Phantom's eyes widened suddenly. "The Titans still exist?"

"The old Shepherd Titans are gone; now it's the Abyss Titans," the Great World Tree replied with a smile.

As he spoke, he looked at Youming and asked, "What brings you here this time? I haven't heard that there has been any major progress in the construction of the artificial bone pit."

Artificial ossuaries?

Upon hearing this word, the ghost froze in place once more. He looked at the underworld, only to see the underworld nod slightly.

"Yes, through technology sharing within the Wizarding Alliance, we have acquired many new technologies. In order to absorb these new technologies, we established the Natural Federation Research Institute."

The artificial skeletal remains pit is a key project in this endeavor. If the research is successful, then the reproduction of our Ghostly Race will no longer be confined to the Mother World.

The ghost was completely at a loss for words.

The biggest factor limiting the development of the Dark Horde is their reproduction mechanism based on the Corpse Pit of their mother world. If they could create Corpse Pits in other worlds, the Dark Horde's potential would be fully unleashed.

Following Youming, we arrived at the Natural Federation Research Institute, a truly magnificent building. A towering colossal tower, built amidst countless tree spirits, stood atop a cold-colored concrete base and an enchanted metal frame.

Standing beneath its feet, any living being would marvel at the greatness of civilization.

“It must be said that no race is perfect.” Youming looked at the tower with a hint of helplessness on his face. “While wizards are highly skilled in technology, their aesthetic sense is rather… pragmatic.”

"Was this designed by a wizard?"

"Yes, and it was designed by that miracle wizard. He said the structure was just right, simple and clear, which perfectly matched the research institute's atmosphere."

But if you ask me, how can something without even a relief sculpture be called architecture?

Youming entered the tower with a sarcastic remark. Inside the tower, researchers from different races were conducting different research experiments in different areas.

The ghost stared blankly at the black-robed wizard hurrying past him and the obese abyssal demon experimenting with potions not far away. But he quickly realized that these were researchers from other civilizations.

"These are members of other civilizations? They all look... quite unique."

Youming glanced around and pointed to the abyssal demons, saying, "There's not much to say about the other civilizations. Just remember these guys. They're members of the abyssal demon civilization. It's not comfortable being around them, but don't kill them all at once."

The ghost nodded, remembering the ghost's words.

The two strolled around the research institute, and along the way, Youming began to explain the specific details of the technology sharing session.

“We obtain technology from the alliance, so naturally we should share our technology.”

As he spoke, he pointed to a group of wizards not far away who were studying a blood-red crystal.

"Although our technology is somewhat behind that of the Wizard Alliance, we still have some unique advantages. The Corpse Blood Stone technology is nothing special to us, but it is different for other civilizations."

"Corpse Blood Stone?"

A look of astonishment flashed across the Ghost's face. Corpse Blood Stone was a common supply for their Ghost Clan, used to restore the Ghost Clan soldiers' bodies and replenish their energy.

Is this thing even worth studying?

"That's the wonder of civilizations," Youming sighed softly. "What we consider insignificant is a priceless treasure to other civilizations."

For us, Corpse Bloodstone technology is merely a strategic supply. But in the eyes of wizards, it is a stable aggregate of negative energy.

According to them, the Corpse Blood Stone is very valuable and has great potential as both an energy source and a weapon.

The ghost looked at the wizards who were studying and nodded thoughtfully.

"...like an artificial burial pit."

"Correct."

Ghost scanned his surroundings and suddenly sensed a very peculiar aura within the research institute.

A vibrant and energetic atmosphere.

"Chieftain, what should I do next?"

Youming patted him on the shoulder and nodded in satisfaction.

“You are one of the few intelligent people in our Youhai clan. This research institute needs a director to oversee it, so as to prevent any trouble from happening.”

The ghost bowed slightly.

"Your will."

……

The expansion of the alliance has brought about tremendous changes to the Natural Federation, but its impact on the course of the war will take some time to materialize.

Although the Wizarding Civilization and the Natural Federation are adjacent, they are actually separated by thousands of light-years. A considerable number of indigenous worlds exist in between, yet to be explored.

This means that both civilizations must expand to establish connections between them.

Secondly, due to the existence of the Cursed Demon Empire, the ruler of the Natural Federation cannot go to the front line to fight against the Civilization Devourers.

After all, no one knows whether the Cursed Demon Empire will suddenly launch an attack.

The Natural Federation is not a civilization devourer; the ordinary world is undefended for the ruler.

Although the Natural Federation has joined the Wizard Alliance, it cannot abandon its home.

The dimension of miracles.

Richard's spiritual power surged like the tides, constantly altering the souls before him.

A vast collection of memories and complex information gradually wove a web within the soul.

Suddenly, the soul's body trembled.

Richard then withdrew his mental energy, his face showing exhaustion, but his eyes held a hint of anticipation.

The next moment, the soul's form began to change, eventually transforming into a clearly defined Titan.

He looked at Richard, his eyes shifting from confusion to surprise.

He hurriedly performed a Titan's salute and said respectfully:
"Greetings, my king."
