The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 904 The Future of the Mayfly Spirit

Richard nodded solemnly as he listened to the advice given by the dimensional avatar.

However, he did not leave immediately, but instead took something out of the Miracle Dimension.

"Elder, you are wise and sagacious. Please help me figure out what to do with this."

The dimensional avatar stopped moving and suddenly looked at Richard's right hand. In Richard's hand, an egg that looked like it was carved from mutton-fat jade was emitting a faint aura.

"This is... an unfinished treasure of civilization!?"

The dimensional avatar exclaimed in surprise. What Richard took out was none other than the Mayfly Spirit that the Mayfly dimensional avatar had given to Richard back then.

This egg was born because of the success of the Star River Mayfly War, but it was also difficult to produce due to the defeat of the war. After the Star River Mayfly's complete defeat, the egg's aura began to weaken, and it only improved slightly after the Truth Council finalized the matter of the Star River Mayfly.

"Yes, this is a precious treasure of a civilization that has not yet fully developed."

Li looked at the dimensional avatar, his words tinged with a hint of nervousness.

"What should I do with this?"

"How to do how to do……"

The dimensional avatar listened to Richard's question and was momentarily at a loss for words. After a moment's thought, he looked at Richard and asked, "What do you want to do?"

“Of course, it’s about maximizing profits,” Richard replied immediately.

"Maximizing profits requires taking risks."

Richard smiled upon hearing this: "Could any risk be greater than that of a civilization devourer?"

The dimensional incarnation remained silent. Indeed, compared to the civilization devourer, this risk was nothing.

"If you want to maximize your profits, then use the power of dimensions to hatch this thing. This thing has tremendous potential; once hatched, it will become a ruler. If it can absorb enough dimensional power, it can quickly reach the limit-breaking level."

If the civilization he belongs to can grow strong, then it wouldn't be impossible for him to become its leader.

"Can't one become a leader by absorbing dimensional power?" Richard suddenly asked.

“Of course.” The dimensional avatar glared at Richard. “Do you think a leader is someone you can just be? The most direct ability of a civilization’s leader is the ability to mobilize all the power of the civilization’s dimension.”

He doesn't even have a civilized dimension, how could he possibly be a leader?

Richard's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "So that means that, apart from this, His abilities are comparable to those of a leader, right?"

The dimensional avatar looked at Richard and said, "Then it's up to you."

If He is willing to be your kin, His abilities will rival those of a leader. But if He is not willing, His strength will only be at the level of a dual-limit-breaking Dominator.

"What about the risks?"

"The risk is whether He is willing to obey you," the dimensional avatar replied. "If He is willing to become your kin, then there is no risk."

But if He is unwilling, or only feigns submission, then you must be wary of whether He might betray you.

"He can feign submission?" Richard raised an eyebrow. "Could he possibly evade the contract of fate?"

“My king, do not be deceived by His appearance,” the dimensional avatar said softly. “His essence is a treasure of civilization, an artifact.”

A contract of fate binds living beings; you cannot use a contract of fate to bind an object or a puppet.

Richard was stunned. Indeed, this mayfly spirit was not a living being, but a precious treasure of civilization, equivalent to a puppet.

The premise of a fate contract is that the other party is a living being with a fate. Objects, however, do not have a fate.

"Do you have any way to teach me?" Richard asked earnestly.

But the dimensional avatar shook its head.

“If I had a way, then it wouldn’t be high-risk. You are the new king of the Titans, and this thing is a test for you.”

A king needs not only power, but also charisma.

The king of the past unified all the Titan tribes by himself, and I believe you can too.

certainly……"

The dimensional avatar paused for a moment, a cold glint appearing in its eyes.

"If you really have no other choice, then just swallow it whole. After merging it into your dimension, something similar will be born in your dimension, but its potential will be greatly reduced."

Think it over carefully yourself.

Li examined the mayfly spirit in his hand, his gaze shifting with changing meaning.

There is no doubt that the high-level combat power of the Wizard Alliance will always be lacking, and from a strategic perspective, hatching the Mayfly Spirit is the right choice.

However, being right for the Wizarding Alliance does not mean being right for the wizards, nor does it mean being right for Richard.

The Spirit of the Mayfly is, after all, a product of the Star River Mayfly. Since the Star River Mayfly is not yet extinct, adding another Spirit of the Mayfly would inevitably change the status of the Star River Mayfly.

There isn't a single player like this in the entire Wizarding Alliance who has achieved dual limit breaking.

From a wizard's perspective, to be on the safe side, it would be more sensible to devour the mayfly spirit and create a mayfly spirit with lower potential but greater control.

From a personal perspective, the more controllable spirit of the mayfly is also more in Richard's interest.

Because uncontrolled forces are meaningless.

Is it better to choose high returns and high risks, or low returns and low risks?
Richard's mind was swirling with chaotic thoughts, making it difficult for him to make a decision. His dimensional avatar, standing by, didn't urge him; this was Richard's own business, and he had already offered advice. Richard's decision was unimportant to him.

“This decision is a bit difficult,” Richard suddenly said. “I need to go and talk to those mayflies.” The dimensional avatar didn’t say much, but simply bowed slightly.

May your path be illuminated by a hearth fire.

……

The territory of the Star River Mayfly is still within the original Star River Mayfly civilization, but it is much smaller now than it was in the past.

Under the rule of the swarm of insects, all the customs and habits of the Milky Way mayfly have changed.

Ironically, the Great Mayfly ideology became the mainstream ideology of the Galaxy Mayfly after their defeat.

Because the wizards don't care whether they have two or four wings, or whether they have red or black tails, they all refer to them as mayflies and treat them the same as mayflies.

Moreover, the swarm overlord also intended to kill those stubborn races.

The Milky Way Mayfly has already failed; now it cannot be denied even the right to be used.

Following the dimensional portal, Richard arrived at the current mother world of the Star River Mayfly.

"You finally came."

This was the first thing Richard heard as he passed through the dimensional portal.

"Finally here?" Richard asked rhetorically.

The avatar of the swarm's ruler stood before Richard, looking like a giant worm.

They were now in a huge insect nest, with the surrounding walls covered in vein-like structures.

“I know that thing is in your hands.” The insect overlord uttered a deep, insect-like sound. “I thought you had already eaten it, but since you came to me today, it seems you haven’t touched it yet.”

Richard raised an eyebrow: "Then it seems I don't need to waste my breath. What suggestions do you have?"

The swarm of insects wriggled its body, making gurgling sounds as if some liquid was surging within it.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a pure white insect egg.

"The suggestion is to fuse that thing with this insect egg. That way, it can be bound by the fate contract."

As he examined the insect eggs, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

"It can be like this? I have a feeling this isn't as simple as it seems."

"Of course it's not that simple." The insect chirping of the swarm's ruler remained deep. "This is a deal. The Star River Mayfly needs a king, and you need a subordinate."

You are the chosen one; you are destined to become the leader of the wizarding civilization.

He can serve as your subordinate, assisting you in ascending to that throne.

The Overlord of the Swarm was a veteran Overlord, and he had heard somewhat about the leader level. To become a leader, one must first become the undisputed king of a civilization.

Richard's current situation is not so good.

Richard was too young, lacked experience, and his only ally was the School of Curses. Moreover, the Crown of the School of Curses was an inherited position of Dominion, and their actual combat strength was far inferior to that of a normal Dominion.

Although the Abyss Civilization is Richard's faction, introducing external forces in order to seize power is a decision made only when there is no other choice.

But now, the swarm of insect overlords has given Richard a new direction.

Although the Star River Mayflies hold a seat in the Wizarding Alliance, they are essentially part of the wizarding civilization, a kindred race.

They are qualified to participate in the internal struggles of the wizarding civilization.

Once the Mayfly Spirit hatches, Richard will have a dual-limit-breaking Overlord as his subordinate. This represents a significant boost to Richard's power within the wizarding civilization.

And the Milky Way mayfly can also gain a king through this, and incidentally gain the merit of following the dragon.

Once the war ends, Star River Mayfly will have no problem returning to its homeland based on this achievement.

This is a win-win situation.

"Looks like you've been prepared all along." Richard looked at the Insect Overlord with interest. "If word gets out about your scheme, the Galaxy Mayflies will definitely be wiped out after the war."

The wizard demanding that his followers participate in the struggle, and the followers actively participating in the struggle and even attempting to influence it, are two completely different things.

If the former wins, the entire family will share in the glory. But if the latter encounters problems, the family may face the inevitable conflict of internal strife and external threats.

“But we will not be wiped out,” the Swarm Overlord replied in wizarding language, “for you will surely ascend the throne.”

Richard didn't say much, but simply threw the insect egg into the dimension of miracles.

“Sign a contract, swarm of insects.” Richard crafted a contract of fate with his soul. “Once the contract is signed, we will be allies.”

The swarm of insects transformed into a smooth humanoid creature, swiftly leaving its soul imprint on the contract.

Then the contract ignited, and an invisible chain linked the two together.

The insect overlord bowed slightly to Richard.

May the spirit of the mayfly protect you on your journey.

Richard turned around, and a runic gate appeared before him.

"No, you should say, 'May I protect the mayfly in the Milky Way on its journey.'"
