The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 932 The war escalates
"Ok, I know."

Richard's expression returned to normal, and he replied calmly.

Although Lionhead Moko's words were highly unreliable, Richard genuinely did not believe that a super-community-level civilization was some kind of pushover.

Even if he were to go, it would certainly be after he becomes the leader.

"Our contract is complete. Do you have any last words?"

Richard conjured a gravity blade in his hand, his voice tinged with greed.

His deal with Deer-Head Moko was complete; to him, only Deer-Head Moko's spine and his soon-to-dissipate soul were of value.

Especially the soul.

Even if the soul of a Limitless Ruler is shattered, it can still serve as nourishment to cultivate undead creatures.

"Hehe, there's no need for the master to take action; I will pass away peacefully on my own."

As he spoke, Deer-Headed Moke's face became calm, and specks of gold suddenly drifted from his body.

Richard casually waved his hand, and a large net completely intercepted the fragments of gold. Once the fragments were gone, the body of Deer-Headed Mokha was devoid of any trace of a soul, leaving only a vibrant, lifelike form.

Richard pulled the large net back in and glanced at what the pieces of gold were.

"...Shards of a soul mixed with dimensional power? That's interesting."

While theoretically, the soul of a ruler is equivalent to the world will within a ruler's dimension, this refers only to ability, not substance.

But these fragments of soul before us seem to have merged dimensions and souls.

"Is this another road?" Richard wondered to himself.

Richard carefully collected the fragments and then extracted the spine from the temporary body of Deer-Headed Mokham. According to Deer-Headed Mokham, this bone was the foundation of his true nature and the basis of his spiritual practice.

It is a superior material.

In what Deer-Headed Moke had seen and heard, he had heard that in the Endless Demon Kingdom, a Heavenly Demon had used the Foundation of True Nature to refine a puppet, and the puppet's power was comparable to that of the Heavenly Demon.

"Good stuff."

Richard sighed slightly, then put it into his pocket. Now was not the time to study this thing.

Upon arriving at the self-destructed core area, Richard looked at the remaining library and a slight smile appeared on his face.

The octopus monster's self-destruction was not unstoppable. In fact, if the dimensional barrier had disappeared earlier, Richard could have even stopped the self-destruction with the dimensional threads.

However, even so, the silk puppet technique has preserved quite a lot.

Richard arrived at the library and found that none of the sovereigns intended to enter.

"Gentlemen, why have we stalled? Is it because you look down on these things?" Richard asked curiously as he approached the assembled rulers.

At the forefront, the Old Ape Sovereign slowly spoke, "These are your spoils of war. Since you have generously shared them, why should we compete for first place? Besides..."

The old ape overlord suddenly drew his sword, and a golden sword light struck the library the instant it was drawn. But something surprising happened: the golden sword light did not collide with the library at all; it simply merged into it.

"That damn thing seems to still be alive."

Richard remained silent, all four eyes snapping open. In his vision, the spatial structure seemed to have been reorganized, filled with the power of numerous dimensions.

What's even more surprising is that this unique structure was actually built using his silk puppetry technique as its framework.

This structure will not loosen unless the silk puppet technique is dispelled.

"Interesting, they actually pulled this trick at the last minute."

Richard was pleasantly surprised. As a user of the Silk Puppet Technique, he immediately noticed that something should be hidden in the center of the Silk Puppet Technique.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the remnant soul of the octopus monster.

However, he did not make a fuss. He turned to look at the rulers with an apologetic expression on his face.

"I'm sorry everyone, I don't have a perfect solution for this at the moment. However, since you have all signed a contract, you can participate in the knowledge exchange within the Wizard Alliance after joining."

We are very willing to engage in technical discussions with you at that time, if you are willing. And I believe you will be satisfied with the results of such discussions.

The various rulers did not react to this. They had all tried to break through this space during this period, but all their efforts were in vain.

Although they were all interested in these things, they couldn't simply take them back as their own.

Moreover, with so many people, who will go and get it?

The Overlords did not react, and Richard, as was his duty, took the fragment of space into his dimension. After giving the Overlords a coordinate, they dispersed and returned to their respective civilizations.

Having been lost for so long, they had a lot of things to do within their civilization.

Richard also handed the Crown of Thorns to Wildwind.

"Your crown."

Richard removed the thorn crown from his head and handed it to Wildwind. Wildwind took it with both hands and put it on his head.

The next moment, the Thorn Crown suddenly erupted with dimensional power, and crimson thorns grew from the crown, piercing into Wild Wind's body like roots.

In just a few moments, Wildwind's body was completely replaced by Crown Thorns. "How does it feel?" Richard asked curiously.

"...It hurts a lot." Wild Wind paused for a moment before replying, "But it's alright, I can get used to it. Wizard, take out your contract. I am now the only Cursed Demon Emperor of the Cursed Demon Empire."

Richard smiled and then produced a contract of fate. With the signing of the contract, an invisible shackle instantly fell upon the two individuals, and even their two civilizations.

"Excuse me, where is your brother? I don't seem to have seen him."

"He hasn't arrived yet."

"Not there yet?"

Richard was slightly taken aback. It had been so long and he still hadn't arrived. Was this Wild Cloud Overlord's luck a bit too bad?

Wild Wind casually remarked, "No need to be surprised. If you were being hunted down by a dimensional overlord comparable to one who has broken through limits, you wouldn't have arrived so quickly."

……

The addition of the Cursed Demon Empire has further strengthened the Wizard Alliance. In the past, the Cursed Demon Empire had four Cursed Demon Kings and two Cursed Demon Emperors, which was exactly equal to the Natural Federation.

Now that the Cursed Demons have joined the alliance, the rulers of the Natural Federation and the Cursed Demon Empire have been freed.

With the addition of these ten rulers, the war situation of the Wizard Alliance is bound to be stable and improving.

With Richard having rescued numerous Overlords from the labyrinth, the outcome of the war seemed inevitable.

Civilization Devourers Occupy the Zone.

In the desolate and boundless Aether Sea, massive fleets are constantly conducting warp jumps.

Beside them, the vast Star River World had lost its former brilliance. At this moment, the Star River World looked more like a gigantic, indescribable entity.

The world barrier that was once used to keep out outsiders has now turned a dark red, with veins resembling blood vessels faintly visible within it.

Fleets that came and went entered it, continuously pouring dimensional treasures from endless dimensions into the body of this behemoth.

Suddenly, the Sea of ​​Ether began to tremble violently.

No, that wasn't the tremor of the Aetheric Sea; it was the tremor of the space of the Astral Plane.

Is there some terrifying being that is leaping from endless dimensions into the astral plane?

At the same time as this tremor occurred, a massive fleet emerged from the vast interstellar world. These ships were enormous, and all those moving within them were towering Titans.

Azure beams of light shot out from the Titan fleet, as if a scalpel had precisely and swiftly sliced ​​through space.

As that terrible wound appeared, the horrible thing about to leap into the astral plane also revealed its form.

It was a behemoth that surpassed any fleet.

The massive gravitational thrusters, as large as mountains, continuously released ripple-like gravitational fields in the endless void, yet these enormous gravitational thrusters were merely a tiny part of the entire array of this colossal machine.

Just by approaching the rift, the aftershocks of its movement stirred up towering waves in the Ether Sea.

Within the fleet, the Titan commander let out a gasp of surprise.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I'm still amazed. The world leaps forward... Haha, it's truly an unimaginable masterpiece."

……

After seeing off the various rulers, Richard quickly left the Dimension of Change.

Although he desperately wanted to search for the traces of those seven civilization treasures—the octopus monster's self-destruction could shatter the civilization treasures, but what if some treasures survived? However, the commotion caused by the octopus monster's self-destruction was too great; if it attracted the attention of a giant, even he would be doomed.

For safety reasons, Richard thought it best to lay low for a while.

Back in the dimension of miracles, Richard was now safe. However, he didn't relax at all.

On the contrary, he felt a sense of tension.

Every gift from fate is not without meaning. The fact that things are going so smoothly for him in the Cursed Demon Empire suggests that the war situation may have changed dramatically, and fate needs these forces to maintain Richard's side's strength.

"We must strengthen our forces," Richard sighed softly.

After calming himself down, Richard began to outline his path to improvement.

Whether we look at the information about Deer-Headed Mok or Lion-Headed Mok, the path he took was an extremely difficult one.

In the ten directions of Buddha lands, there were Arhats who attempted to follow this path to attain Buddhahood, but ultimately met a tragic end, their bodies and minds extinguished. In the endless demon realms, there were also celestial demons who attempted this path, but the results were also unsatisfactory, ultimately ending with their souls annihilated, leaving only empty shells.

Therefore, his promotion must be carefully considered.

Therefore, his short-term improvement should focus on adjusting his soul structure.

Of course, Richard turned his head to look at the spatial fragment beside him, where the octopus-like library was floating.

If he can break through this library, then breaking the limits is not out of the question.

However, regardless of whether he breaks through the limits, adjusting the soul structure is imperative, so the soul structure can be the main focus.

For him, completing the Trial of the Supreme Being as soon as possible and obtaining the Supreme Being's civilizational treasures would be a clearer path.
