The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 978 Double Limit Break
The types of resources required for breaking through mental limits are not many, but the rarity of these resources is unparalleled in the entire world.

To gather the resources Richard needed, old Abel mobilized almost the entire wizarding civilization. Even so, nearly half of the materials were still missing.

Left with no other choice, he had to turn to other civilizations for help.

Fortunately, Richard was the one promoted this time.

After Richard's name was invoked, the other civilizations agreed to cooperate.

The various treasures didn't even travel across world routes, but were transported directly into the Wizarding World via dimensional transport.

Within the Wizarding World, millions of wizards reconstructed a plain of three million square kilometers.

The soft soil hardened, and mithril-forged wires drew intricate geometric patterns across the land. Furthermore, these wires didn't confine themselves to the surface; they penetrated deep into the earth, constructing a three-dimensional magic circle.

The amount of mithril consumed by this magic circle is almost comparable to a war against a medium-sized world.

Fortunately, the Four Elements Creation Machine is already running at full speed, and the scarce resources are no longer cherished by wizards or even the entire Wizarding Alliance.

Moreover, these mithril wires will be removed after Richard's promotion, so it can't be considered a waste.

Richard stood in the sky, quietly watching the countless wizards below him busily working like worker ants.

These people came to this plain in droves because of a single sentence from his subordinate, and carried out work for which they themselves did not even know the purpose.

"...That's power."

Richard sighed softly. He was now the most powerful person in the entire Wizarding Alliance. Even the Overlord would obey his orders.

The feeling was wonderful, but he felt no joy whatsoever.

Behind this power lies immense responsibility and pressure.

The governor is not an emperor; he must lead the wizarding civilization, and even the wizarding alliance, to victory. If they fail, not only will he die, but countless members of the civilization behind him will also perish.

Richard shook his head, clearing his mind of those jumbled thoughts.

He needs to be completely calm now; breaking through mental limits requires absolute stability, and any slight emotion could lead to his failure.

The massive array was set up in just seven days, and once everything was complete, all the engineering wizards left.

On the vast plain, only Richard, the wizard, existed.

Richard fell from the sky, landing directly in the center of the formation—the most important position in the entire formation.

Regarding the breaking of soul limits, there are numerous records from wizards, other civilizations, and even previous civilization alliances. Taking into account these records, as well as the preparations of those who had broken through mental limits, Richard designed the magic circle before him.

This magic circle utilizes the earth's ley lines; once activated, the entire array will form its own world.

Everything and every rule within this realm is under the control of the array's master. The array master's soul is equivalent to the world's origin within this array.

On this basis, Richard also incorporated the application of the world's primal power into the formation—as a blessing of the Wizarding World, he was capable of doing this.

The power of the world's origin is a magical force that can do almost anything.

After the power of the world's origin is added to the formation, the fake world created by the formation begins to resemble the real world.

If all goes well, the power of the world's origin will act as an adhesive, binding his shattered soul together and leading him to a new level.

The moment he stood in the center, Richard suddenly looked behind him.

He felt a gaze, a gaze so cold it was almost inhuman.

This gaze did not come from any direction in the spatial sense; it came from fate, and no matter which way Richard faced, this gaze was always behind him.

Richard knew that this was the gaze of a civilization devourer.

He was watching to see what level this creature, destined to kill itself, had reached.

Richard wore a mocking smile; the previous civilization devourers wouldn't have stared at him for so long.

After its clone was killed, the monster finally began to take its destined one seriously.

"Go ahead and look, see if you can watch me die here."

Richard made a sarcastic remark, then began to compose himself.

At the same time, the formation on the plains also began to operate.

hum!
A subtle hum of energy echoed across the plains as massive amounts of energy flowed into the mithril-constructed array along the earth's veins.

In just a short while, this inanimate metal structure took on a texture that was almost like that of a living thing.

dong dong!dong dong!
Richard could hear a rhythmic fluctuation, which was the fluctuation of the formation and also the fluctuation of his heartbeat.

His body had now become the central hub of this formation, and his soul was slowly merging into this enormous magic array.

At eight minutes and seventeen seconds, Richard's soul completely mastered the formation, exactly as he had predicted.

"Then, let's get started."

Richard surrendered his mind completely to reason, and the soul transformation that had been repeated hundreds of times in the past occurred once again.

But this time, as soon as he made the change, his entire soul trembled violently.

It was as if he was shaking the very foundation of the towering building that is the soul.

The tremor of the soul would normally be terrifying, but at this moment, it was exactly what Richard needed. Without hesitation, Richard used his mental power as a tool to shatter the last piece of his original soul.

In an instant, the edifice of his soul began to collapse.

Richard found it hard to describe the feeling. He could feel himself disappearing, he could clearly feel his soul breaking, his memories fading, and even his IQ declining.

If growth is a gradual process from childhood to maturity, then at this moment, he is gradually returning from maturity to the most primordial nothingness.

In Richard's eyes, time seemed to be going backward.

Bound by these shattered soul arrays, at the same time, the power of the world's origin began to enter Richard's body.

These primal forces of the world flowed within the array, constantly binding together the fragments of souls, ultimately converging at the center of the array, which was Richard's body.

Everything went very smoothly... until Richard completely stripped away everything about this world, revealing his true nature.

"Where am I?"

Richard looked around blankly. Oh no, at this moment he wasn't called Richard yet, but Li Cha.

Logically speaking, breaking the limits of the soul should result in the complete shattering of the soul. But Richard is an exception.

His soul was formed by combining two souls. Although the soul from another world merged with Richard's soul, the two souls were still two souls, and their original structures were not the same.

The long-term growth of spiritual power actually refers to the part that originally belonged to the physiological investigation. And now that it has been shattered, it is naturally the part that originally belonged to the physiological investigation that has been shattered.

The part belonging to another world was far too insignificant to Richard.

To Richard's soul, the otherworldly soul was like a grain of sand in the desert, insignificant.

Therefore, it has been neglected for a long time.

But now, this neglected part has become a fatal problem.

The center is a crucial location; once the soul leaves the center, the formation becomes completely useless.

Although this was merely a defeat for Richard, not death, failing at this juncture would make it almost impossible for him to achieve his mental breakthrough before the final battle.

Li Cha looked around, his memories still stuck in his previous life, at the moment when his great fortune rushed towards him.

Is this the underworld or heaven?

Looking at the emptiness around him, Li Cha felt lost and helpless. His soul was too weak; he couldn't even project his spiritual power outwards. Everything around him was an empty void.

Soon, a nameless fear entered his heart.

"A...person? Or a god...ghost?"

Overwhelmed by fear, he even became somewhat at a loss for words.

In the territory occupied by the civilization devourers, that cold, immense will suddenly trembled, and the entire world of the occupied territory shook under its influence.

Just now, He actually saw that the thread of fate was not on the shattered original soul of the Primordial Life Cha, but was connected to Li Cha who came from another world.

Li Cha's part was too insignificant; not only did Richard overlook him, but even the Civilization Devourer ignored him.

At this moment, as long as He takes away Li Cha's soul, this thread of fate will no longer be a problem.

At this moment, the civilization devourer unleashed all its power. It knew that this was its last chance. Once Richard broke through his limits, Li Cha and Richard would completely merge and become inseparable.

But at the same time, a light appeared in Li Cha's eyes.

He felt a warmth from that light.

"what is this?"

Li Cha looked at the light and almost involuntarily walked towards it. Living things are attracted to light, just like moths to a flame.

However, as he approached the light, the inexplicable gravitational pull began to intensify.

It was as if some force was binding his body.

"what is happening?"

Looking at the light, Li Cha suddenly felt a surge of recklessness.

He had to go and see what that light was.

Under the influence of this psychology, even gravity cannot stop it.

step!
Within the formation, the souls that were bonding and converging suddenly trembled, as if their very foundation had been shaken.

In the Abyss Archives, the Titan King suddenly stood up.

All six of his eyes turned toward Richard, and a murderous aura that seemed capable of tearing the world apart instantly filled the entire archive.

"So eager to die?"

He suddenly waved his hand, and Richard's Forge of Miracles trembled.

Immediately afterwards, Li Cha saw a flame.

A golden flame.

Golden flames ignited on his body, and the pain brought him back to his senses almost instantly.

"No! No!"

Li Cha suddenly became clear-headed. She could sense that she had just experienced some mental issues.

That light is deceiving me.

"What exactly is going on?" Li Cha's voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth.

The pain of the golden flames did not cease with his awakening, nor did the allure of the light disappear with the appearance of the golden flames.

In an instant, pain and allure nearly tore his mind in two.

Does he choose the pain that should be safe, or the seemingly beautiful light?

"Pah, do you think I'd even get to taste the good stuff?"

Li Cha looked at the light and immediately turned around.

Although the pain brought by the Miracle Fire was intense, it brought him a great sense of peace. Moreover, Li Cha's simple understanding from his previous life instilled in him a certain concept.
Good things are never given to you in a rush.

Any benefit that seems readily available is bound to have a hidden problem.

The allure of the light grew stronger and stronger, and even if Li Cha didn't look at it, it would keep appearing in his field of vision.

This further solidified Li Cha's idea.

At the same time, the soul reorganization at the center of the formation has begun.

The shattered soul began to reconstruct itself around Li Cha, like a foundational point. And Li Cha, enduring the flames of miracles, gradually began to transform back into Richard.

Looking at those unfamiliar memories, Li Cha felt a little lost and even resistant for a moment.

But as his memories accumulated, he eventually accepted everything.

After all, he did it all; he just temporarily lost his memory.

The souls were constantly being reassembled, and with the binding force of the world's origin, everything proceeded incredibly smoothly.

When the last piece of soul was successfully attached, Richard suddenly touched his chin.

"Was I really this stubborn?"
