The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 971 A Plea for Help from the Ghost and Monster World

"They just can't stop for a moment."

Looking at the chalk that was constantly emitting soul fluctuations, Richard realized that this was definitely not a signal to get the hammer.

For the past three years, neither side has engaged in large-scale warfare. Both the attacks by the Civilization Devourers and the Wizard Alliance have exercised considerable restraint.

The Wizarding Alliance is training its troops, while the Civilization Devourers need to devour war.

Richard thought the Civilization Devourer had chosen to focus on restoration, but he didn't expect that it would set its sights on the Ghost World.

Without hesitation, Richard's rationality instantly led him to make the most correct judgment.

The runic gate slowly opened, and Richard entered the council hall of the City of Eternal Truth. The Keeper of Secrets stood beside him, holding his small brass bell.

"Your Excellency, shall we convene a meeting?"

"Summon them."

thump -- thump -- thump --

The melodious chimes emanated from the conference hall, traveling through dimensions to all civilizations of the Wizard Alliance. Immediately afterwards, the avatars of each dimension relayed the message to all the rulers of the Wizard Alliance.

"Hmm? Miracles are holding a meeting?" The Energizing Crown looked up, a hint of doubt flashing across its face.

"They've probably found something or some news again," Alchemy Crown said calmly beside him.

"Fate will watch over everything that might cause fate to deviate from its course."

As he spoke, the Alchemist Corona looked into the hands of the Evocation Corona, where an extremely complex rune model was in motion.

"As expected, I still need your advice on energy science. I spent three days working on this, but you solved it in less than a day."

The Energizing Crown casually tapped the model a couple of times, changing the order of several runes.

"It's not finished yet; it can still be optimized. Once I've finished optimizing it, the energy loss rate of the World Ring should be reduced by three percentage points."

……

The vast world of the abyss.

Boom--boom--

Hearing the slightly jarring sound of the bell, Beelzebub stopped what he was doing, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"A meeting right after you get back? Did you hear some bad news?"

Beelzebub knew that Richard had some information channels that were not publicly disclosed, but that was all he knew about their existence.

Beside him, several pot-bellied demons, almost identical to Beelzebub, were bustling about.

In the center of their room, a huge cauldron was cooking something, and the job of these bloated demons was to keep the flames burning beneath it, fueled by cursed creatures.

Inside the crucible, a colorful liquid was boiling continuously, with psychedelic smoke drifting out.

Beelzebub glanced at the cauldron, and a wicked smile immediately appeared on his face and belly.

"Hehehe, almost done, almost done."

……

The front line of the civilization of gods.

"How many believers do you still lack? How many more from God?"

Before the Eternal God-King, a chief god dressed in armor and resembling a centaur whispered, "We still need three more high-level gods and God-Kings."

"Only three left?"

The Eternal God-King's voice held a hint of surprise, but that surprise quickly turned into delight.

"I'll arrange for a few kids to go over there."

The centaur god bowed slightly: "Thank you for your guidance and the other two god-kings. I will remember it."

“It’s not that we’re cultivating you, it’s that we need you,” the Eternal God-King corrected. “The Pantheon needs power now, especially the power of the God-King.”

You have the ability and the talent, that's why we chose you, do you understand?

Merck nodded slightly: "I understand. I will devote all my energy to the construction of civilization."

A red light flashed across the Eternal God-King's body, which could be considered a nod.

Boom--boom--

The sound of the bell echoed in the soul of the Eternal God-King, who glanced at the sky.

"I have something to do. You are in full charge of matters on the battlefield."

"Yes."

……

The border between the Cursed Demon Empire and the Natural Federation.

“I never imagined that we could all be gathered together in a room by ourselves.”

Looking at the clones of the rulers of the Cursed Demon Empire before him, Youming's voice carried a hint of mockery or self-deprecation that was hard to define.

"I never thought of that either." Across from him, Ye Feng's voice also carried a hint of sigh.

"In my imagination, the only room where we could possibly meet peacefully would be the collection room, and you should be a head sealed in amber, or a wax figure mixed with flesh and blood."

"Alright, I've heard enough of this boring talk today. Cherish your time, you short-lived creatures."

The World Tree's clone impatiently interrupted the boring conversation between the two rulers. The technological advancements in the Abyss were not something that only wizards feared.

Defenses can not do without.

Although the Natural Federation and the Abyss are separated by a wizard, in the eyes of other civilizations, the wizards and the Abyss are like brothers.

Who knows if these two civilizations will eventually merge?

If they merge, the Federation will naturally face the direct impact of the most powerful civilization in this civilization cluster.

Under this pressure, the Natural Federation had no choice but to abandon its past hatred and unite with the Cursed Demon Empire.

As for why the Great World Tree unified this plan...

"The vision of a short-lived species is still shortsighted."

The Great World Tree looked at the two rulers who were once enemies and sighed inwardly.

As a ruler who had witnessed the war between the previous civilization alliances and the civilization devourers, he was well aware of how dangerous the war that awaited them would be.

Even he dared not say that he could survive this war.

Not to mention rulers like Netherworld and Wild Wind who haven't experienced this before. "After this cooperation, the relationship between the Federation and the Cursed Demons should normalize," the Great World Tree murmured to himself. "The Alliance's power has grown even stronger."

The Great World Tree is an ancient ruler who knows perfectly well that hatred between civilizations is meaningless.

Even ironclad alliances can crumble when the benefits are great enough. Even mortal enemies can become friends if the threat is strong enough.

Therefore, he did not care about the hatred between the two civilizations.

All he cared about was power—the power that the two civilizations could use in the war to come.

He is a ghost of the past, someone who should have died honorably in that war. But he did not die, and the war is not over yet.

Boom--boom--

The chimes, transmitted by the dimensional avatar of the Great World Tree, caused the wooden, morphing eye to suddenly look up at the sky.

"The consul has summoned us; let's continue this meeting after the conference."

……

The Eternal Darkness Great World, Central Sky Island.

"Leader, according to the gods' method, the abyss pollution has been temporarily halted."

In the council chamber, an elder with an eye demon was reporting on the post-war reconstruction of the Eternal Darkness Great World.

The Eye Demon leader, Lakat, glanced at the elder and asked softly, "Can he still be saved?"

“It’s difficult. According to the gods, our world is too large. Even if we can save it, it will take a huge amount of time.”

"We have plenty of time."

Rakkat looked at the wall, his gaze passing through it to the land tainted by the abyss.

"This is our mother world. We are willing to pay any price for her."

"Yes, leader."

"...By the way, how's the recent recruitment of clansmen going?"

After a moment of silence, Rakkat suddenly asked a very strange question.

Is it still possible to recruit members of one's own clan?
"The Alliance has given us a lot of support. It has provided us with more than 30 billion in first-level natives and about 3 million in high-level natives."

“Yes, don’t stop recruiting tribesmen,” Rakat replied calmly. “Make sure the brainwashing is thorough; these people are going to the battlefield, so don’t let them cause trouble.”

The Eye Demons' research on the soul is not limited to laboratories and theories; they have long since begun to apply soul technology.

In the past, they were limited by the limitations of flesh-and-blood technology and were unable to perform large-scale eye-demon conversion. But now, the Wizarding Alliance's technological support has broken this shackle.

The current Eye Demons can mass-produce high-grade bodies.

With the transformation of souls and the addition of bodies, the Eye Demon can be transformed into batches of Eye Demons as long as there are enough natives.

However, this is only an emergency measure.

The transformation of the soul can never be complete, otherwise the Eye Demon would have already begun mass-producing those who break through the limits of the spirit.

The descendants of these transformed bewitching demons have a chance to revert to their original race, so in the bewitching demons' plan, they will all die on the battlefield.

Boom--boom--

A clear chime rang in Lakat's soul. He glanced at the sky, and a dimensional gate appeared before him.

"The governor is going to have a meeting; it seems bad news is coming."

……

In the conference hall, doors to different dimensions slowly opened.

These entering rulers were either clones or their original forms, and each of them arrived very quickly.

They hadn't heard anything significant, and Richard's summons at this juncture suggests that the news originated from Richard.

As Richard was the chosen one, his news was naturally of paramount importance.

Many rulers took their seats.

"I won't waste any more time on pleasantries," Richard said directly. "I have some information here for you all to take a look at."

As he spoke, a light screen appeared in front of the many rulers.

"The Great World of Ghosts and Monsters?" The God of Change looked at Richard. "Why are you bringing them up? These guys have been missing for a while now."

“Yes, they have indeed disappeared for quite some time.” Richard sighed, his voice somewhat low. “But coincidentally, I still have some contact with them.”

They came to me for help; the civilization devourers had come for them.

The civilization devourers have come after them... This news startled all the rulers.

“If this information is accurate, this world is a large world,” Lakat said. “It seems this monster has a particular fondness for large worlds.”

Richard shook his head slightly: "I don't know. But there's no doubt that devouring this world would be of immense benefit to Him."

"Then let's provide rescue."

"The Eternal God-King spoke."

“Those guys are very skilled. If we can get them to join us, our skills will reach a new level.”

Li looked at the Eternal God King, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

“I thought you would be furious. After all, they betrayed you.”

“We are indeed very angry,” said the Sun God King, “but anger cannot buy technology and craftsmen.”

Richard's gaze swept over the various rulers.

"Gentlemen, what are your opinions?"

Beelzebub's voice was completely indifferent: "The Abyss has no objection, Overlord."

The Great World Tree also said almost simultaneously, "The Natural Federation has no objection."

"The Cursed Demon agrees." Wild Wind's voice was hoarse but carried a hint of calm.

Lakat opened his mouth wide, his huge eyes revealing a hint of resentment.

"The Eye Demon agrees to anything that can disrupt that guy's plans."

“Alright,” Richard clapped his hands, “In that case, the Alliance Council will unanimously pass the proposal to support the Ghost World.”

The rescue operation is now underway!
