The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 969 The Imminent Breakthrough of Mental Limits

Cross-world support strike?
Upon hearing this name, all the rulers present were stunned.

Although the Eye Demon Command's report mentioned that the Abyss was researching inter-world teleportation technology, inter-world teleportation technology and inter-world support strikes are two different things.

Energy strikes are not stable organisms. Organisms can maintain stability through means such as sealing, feigning death, or other methods, but attacks cannot.

Attacks are never stable; powerful attacks will inevitably cause the collapse of spatial structures and even dimensional structures.

Unless the attack is the type that requires entering the target location before detonating.

But judging from Samael's appearance, this kind of cross-world strike is obviously not that simple.

“I read that report. That kid is well-informed, but not well-informed enough. In fact, Beelzebub’s research institute is just something that assists me.”

Of course, they themselves didn't know.

Samael's voice carried the composure of a mastermind, as if everything was under his control.

Samael's belligerent nature often makes people overlook the fact that he is also a demon from the abyss; cunning and cruelty are also his traits.

"I have completed this technology, of course, only the initial version. This technology is just a byproduct for me, so I have no interest in continuing to study it."

Beelzebub's institute will continue its research to mature and popularize this technology.

“This is truly a pleasant surprise,” Richard said sincerely. “If this technology can be stabilized, our war technology will enter a new chapter.”

“This is the reward.” Samael looked at Richard, his blood-red eyes filled with seriousness. “The gifts of the abyss often come with a price. Although you are indeed selfless, rules are rules.”

"Getting something for nothing is not a good habit."

“This is an investment, Samael,” Richard replied with a smile. “I need you to work for me, so you get the technology. This isn’t something you can get for nothing.”

"That's perfect."

After saying that, Samael fell silent again.

"Gentlemen, is there any other good news?" Richard asked the other rulers. "There's never too much good news."

"The technology we are researching concerns weapons against the Overlord," the Eternal God-King said. "If successful, I will inform everyone."

After the Eternal God-King, the ruler in the hall remained silent.

“It seems we’ve covered all the good news for today.” Richard stood up first. “Then, gentlemen, let’s conclude this meeting here.”

Richard acted as if he were the host of the meeting, but none of the dominant figures present objected.

After the meeting concluded, the rulers went about their own business. While many rulers departed, the seven rulers belonging to the wizarding civilization remained.

"Don't you all have anything to do?" Richard asked, glancing at the several crowns. His voice sounded somewhat flippant.

The Energizing Crown spoke up: "What are your thoughts on the technology of the Abyss?"

"Great technology. I hope this technology can be widely used."

"...Didn't you think about what would happen after the war?"

He glanced at the sculpted crown and sighed softly.

"When will you stop fighting amongst yourselves? This technology is extremely important to the Alliance, and as for its impact on the post-war period... we'll have to survive until after the war before we can talk about that."

"This is foresight, a miracle."

“Don’t overthink it, Energy Shaping.” Richard then looked at the other Crowns. “The same goes for you. What we need is to unite and get through this difficult time.”

We'll deal with the post-war issues after the war.

"Thinking about this so early and so much—what if you don't survive? Wouldn't all that thought and energy be wasted?"

……

After leaving the Wizarding Dimension, Richard went directly to the Hearthman Dimension.

He now needs to accelerate his spiritual progress as quickly as possible so that he can demonstrate the true power of this path of evolution.

The Furnace Man dimension remained unchanged, and the Furnace Fire Spirit-like dimensional avatar looked at Richard with eyes full of surprise and satisfaction.

"It seems you've come a long way on the path to becoming king."

It was no coincidence that the Titan King developed the Titan Body cultivation method; he himself was exploring the evolutionary path of the cellular world.

"With others paving the way, it's naturally easier for me, a latecomer, to walk on it."

Richard looked at the dimensional avatar and said softly, "The real war is about to begin. Our story with that monster is coming to an end, and your promises will be fulfilled."

"Really? That's wonderful." The dimensional avatar sounded happy, but there was no joy in his tone.

"But our era has passed."

"If I survive, the Wizarding Alliance will accept the Hearthstones, just like the Titans did."

"Thank you for your promise, new king."

The dimensional avatar's body suddenly transformed, eventually taking on the form of a supreme being as clear as crystal.

"I think you should understand the necessity of this trial by now," the dimensional avatar said loudly. "That monster is something without weaknesses. Even the Miracle Fire only seems to have a miraculous effect on it because its strength has dropped."

As His opponent, you must be flawless in every aspect.

“I know.” Richard nodded slightly. “Let’s begin.” The dimensional avatar suddenly disappeared, and the familiar darkness enveloped Richard once again.

The familiar pain returned, but this time, Richard was exceptionally confident.

The pain deepened little by little, but those heart-wrenching pains had almost no effect on Richard, who had already experienced them once.

Soon, the pain level reached the elite level.

This time, Richard, who had already undergone soul modification, successfully withstood the first wave of pain.

The unspeakable sorrow and pain were held back by his iron-like rationality. Even though tears still streamed down his face, this time he held on.

As Richard endured his suffering, his soul underwent a constant transformation.

His soul began to crumble from its most basic structure, only to be healed by the power of dimensional forces.

This is not only due to the effects of the trial, but also because of his bloodline.

Those dimensional life cores began to spontaneously maintain the stability of the soul and alter its structure. The collapse of the soul structure caused by the Trials of the Supreme Beings was perfectly utilized by the dimensional life cores.

The direct consequence of this was that Richard felt his pain and emotions were gradually diminishing.

"What's going on?" Richard realized his situation and wondered if this was a new method of the Trial of the Supreme Being.
Did you use endless emptiness to make him leave?

As the pain of the trials intensified, Richard's soul structure continued to change. These new soul structures gave Richard an extremely high tolerance for pain and various emotions.

Or rather, Richard's soul is losing its ability to perceive emotions such as pain, loss, sadness, and joy.

And all that remained for him was... normal greed and the desire to survive.

"Is this what the monster looks like?"

Richard suddenly remembered the closest thing to his current situation; in his memory, the Civilization Devourer was in such a state.

Almost absolute rationality, with only the desire to survive and the greed for evolution in their hearts.

"Is this the only way?" Richard had another thought.

The limit of biological evolution is domination; if a creature wants to reach a higher level, it must undergo metamorphosis.

Just as ordinary wizards and great wizards are like two different beings, and great wizards and truth wizards are two different beings, so too are level eight and a half beings and overlords.

The new soul structure greatly accelerated Richard's thinking speed, and he understood his situation almost instantly.

However, reason led him to make a decision that seemed rather irrational.

"Terminate the trial."

As Richard announced the end of the trial, the darkness around him vanished instantly.

"Why did you stop?" the dimensional avatar asked, somewhat puzzled. "I can see that this is far from your limit."

"Because if it doesn't end soon, I'll turn into that monster."

The moment Richard proposed the trial, he began to examine his soul, and as he expected, his soul structure had undergone a tremendous change.

His soul, modified by his bloodline, is now almost a soul pieced together from countless fragments of his soul.

Each cellular dimension is anchored to a fragment of the soul.

Richard slightly raised his hand, and the power of dimensions transformed into a line of the highest quality dimensional energy in his hand.

Before the trial, he would have had to expend tremendous effort to condense such a dimensional line. But now, condensing it is as simple as eating and drinking.

“I cannot continue the trial, elder.”

Richard turned to look at the dimensional avatar, trying his best to make his voice more emotional.

"I must break through my limits before participating in the trial, otherwise I will inevitably become that monster-like thing."

Even if that monster is killed, this civilization will only face a new monster.

Hearing Richard's words, the dimensional avatar was also somewhat taken aback for a moment.

But it could tell that Richard wasn't joking.

"Those who forge new paths will always encounter various situations." The dimensional avatar bowed slightly to Richard. "New King, is there anything I can do for you?"

Richard paused for a moment, as if he was thinking.

"I need to break through my mental limits as soon as possible. If you really want to help me, then lend me that computing chip."

"Although the computing chip was prepared for you, you will not pass the trial..."

“I’m just using it, right here,” Richard interrupted. “I need computing power to help me adjust my soul structure; it’s crucial.”

My time is limited, elder.

"This... fine. You sign the fate contract, and I will allow you to use that chip in this dimension."

After a moment's hesitation, the dimensional avatar made his decision. Richard was the chosen one, so it was only right to give him the chip. Although he hadn't completed the trial yet, he also didn't hand over the computing chip to Richard.

Everything was in accordance with the rules.
