The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 980 Dominator Evolution Potion
"Is this your finished product?"

Li looked at the remaining layer of colorful slime in the large pot in front of him, his face full of shock.

Although he did believe Beelzebub could produce a finished product, his product did exceed his expectations.

"So, you only used mysterious power, concentrated abyssal power, and those... materials that I can't quite name, to mix and create this potion?"

Beelzebub stood beside Richard, a serious expression suddenly appearing on his fat, lewd face.

"My Lord, those indescribable materials you mentioned are extremely rare dimensional treasures, many of which are extinct."

I used all my savings, plus all my connections across countless dimensions, to gather all this stuff.

“Okay, okay,” Richard nodded slightly, then glanced at Beelzebub, “How many can you make?”

"It depends on the timeframe. If war breaks out within ten years, I can only concoct one potion for domination at most. But if we extend the timeframe to a hundred years, then perhaps we can ensure that every civilization has a leader."

“We don’t have that much time,” Richard said in a deep voice. “We need to mobilize all civilizations to search for materials.”

"My Lord, this thing..."

“There will be no leaks,” Richard interrupted. “Although I have always advocated for technical exchanges, you have been the one doing the research on this, so there is no need to share anything other than the finished product.”

The contract will guarantee the safety of the formula.

“My Lord, that’s not what I’m talking about.” Beelzebub shook his head slightly. “This recipe can be given away openly, but they will never figure out the steps with just the ingredients.”

What I want to say is that this medicine has a side effect.

Remember the concentrated abyssal power in the ingredients? I haven't eliminated its transformative properties. Taking this potion will inevitably cause the Overlord's body to be corrupted by the abyss.

Richard's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately asked, "Can it be removed?"

“They’ve all broken through the limits, so the transformation of the Abyss can definitely be reversed.” Beelzebub chuckled somewhat sheepishly. “However, this process will be extremely time-consuming. If we rush into starting the war, we won’t have time to undo these transformations.”

“This side effect is indeed somewhat… misleading.” Richard rubbed his temples. “But as long as it can be converted, the other rulers will definitely tolerate this small flaw.”

However, before that, we need to produce concrete evidence.

……

Parliament Hall.

"This is the formula for the Overlord Evolution Potion. Let's see if you have any means to find the materials."

Richard presented the recipe for the Overlord Evolution Potion to the many Overlords. Upon seeing the recipe, almost all of the Overlords frowned.

“These materials are quite rare,” said the Cursed Demon Emperor Yefeng. “I can only get two of them at most, and the exact number is yet to be determined.”

“I do know a few presidents of dimensional chambers of commerce in the trading dimension,” said Rakkat, the leader of the Eye Demons, in a calm tone. “I should be able to get these things, it’s just a matter of how much.”

"Transaction dimension?"

Upon hearing this unusual name, all the rulers present were slightly taken aback, except for the Great World Tree, whose eyes flashed with surprise.

"You can freely enter that dimension? That place is not easy to get into."

Lakat's voice was calm: "By chance, I saved the president of a dimensional chamber of commerce and helped him deal with a dimensional giant."

In return, he gave me a transaction receipt.

"What is the transaction dimension?" Richard asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just a magical dimension within an endless series of dimensions," the Great World Tree explained. "The dimensional beings in that dimension are something called dimensional merchants."

These things have the ability to freely enter any dimension and any world, and with them, you can buy almost anything you need.

Even if you made this up.

However, entering this dimension is very troublesome. Its dimensional coordinates are constantly changing, and only the dimensional merchants themselves and creatures with transaction certificates can find it.

All three leaders possessed this item, but unfortunately, the transaction documents became invalid after their deaths.

“Besides that, this dimension is also a large trading platform,” Lakat added. “There you can trade with the rulers of other civilizations, but the quality of the trade cannot be guaranteed.”

I've been scammed, and I've also scammed others.

"Wouldn't that mean we could hire some help?" the Sculptor Crown suddenly said. "As long as the reward is sufficient, I think a ruler would come to our aid."

“I’ve already tried that.” Lakat’s eyes darted around, a gesture that seemed to indicate a shake of his head. “Even with the constraints of a fate contract, no ruler is willing to go to an alien civilization to participate in a war.”

Most of the rulers who can reach the Dimension of Transaction are exceptionally powerful, and these people are not lacking in resources... Oh, it seems we now have something they are interested in.

The Overlord Evolution Potion is something that is absolutely unique even in the trading world.

At least to Lakat's knowledge, such a thing had never existed before.

Trading something like this would almost certainly get the approval of the target leader's sovereign.

“We don’t even have enough of this stuff for our own people, so it would be a waste to trade it,” Beelzebub said quietly. “It’s very complicated to make, and even if we have enough materials, not everyone here will necessarily get a share.”

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully in the direction of the civilization of the gods.

“Speaking of which, we haven’t seen the effects of the potion yet, have we?” The God of Change looked at Richard. “Beelzebub is a greedy bastard; he should have tried this stuff before.”

“Of course.” Richard nodded slightly. “But there are some side effects, and I don’t know if you all can accept them.”

"What side effects?" "Abyss transformation."

"...Are you kidding me?"

Many of the stars in the Eternal God King's constellations glowed red.

"Although everything is for survival, if survival requires joining the abyss, then I think death is not out of the question."

Richard smiled and calmly said, "Let me finish. The Overlord Evolution Potion is for those whose physical limits have been broken, so the Abyss Transformation will not have a significant impact on your souls."

Even if they exist, the rulers who can use the potions are all rulers whose mental limits have been broken.

Your souls are not afraid of being transformed by the abyss.

Secondly, the Abyss Transformation is not irreversible. Breaking one's mental limits can eliminate the Abyss Transformation, so breaking one's physical limits can naturally eliminate it too... it just takes a little longer.

"How long?" asked Youming from the Natural Federation.

Richard shrugged: "It's unlikely to be resolved before the war ends."

"So, we have to fight while being eroded by the abyss?" The God King of Myriad Changes was somewhat amused and exasperated. "How can we fight like that? We'll be weakened before the battle even begins."

"For now, this is our only successful potion." Richard leaned back, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "Alchemy, any progress on your potion?"

Alchemist Crown shook his head: "Entering a critical state is easy, and improving one's physique is also easy. However, breaking through the limits is entirely up to the master himself."

Honestly, I don't quite understand, Beelzebub, how do you manage to consistently break limits?

“The power of change is reversible, my friend,” Beelzebub smiled. “The biggest problem with breaking limits is whether a stable system can be formed after the limits are broken.”

The potion's effect is to stabilize the state; breaking through is something you must control yourself.

"...I see." After a moment of silence, the Alchemist Crown sighed softly.

He looked at Richard and shook his head slightly: "My research on dimensional power is not as in-depth as Beelzebub's. Even if I could research it, I wouldn't have enough time."

Richard exhaled and glanced at the many rulers.

"The choice is yours. We are allies, not superiors and subordinates. You all have the freedom to choose."

“…I think this side effect is acceptable,” Rakkat said in the distinctive tremor of a beholder. “Besides, I’m also very interested in the corruption of the abyss.”

“There’s no choice, miracle,” Ye Feng said quietly. “We must increase our strength.”

Richard turned his gaze to the three rulers of the divine civilization.

The God of Changes' answer was straightforward.

"I refuse. You might as well kill me if you want to be tainted by the abyss."

However, the Eternal God-King is more flexible.

The Eternal God-King calmly said, "I can try, but I have serious doubts about Beelzebub's character."

“The contract guarantees safety,” Richard said solemnly. “And I will be keeping an eye on him.”

Seeing this, the Sun God King said indifferently, "A civilization can only have one candidate. Since Eternity is willing to give it a try, I won't get involved."

Finally, Richard turned his attention to the Federation of Nature.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" the Great World Tree asked in surprise. "I am the World Tree, and I don't follow the same path as you. That potion has no effect on me."

However, I do need some help to become a leader.

"What's the deal?"

"I need four medium-sized worlds, or forty small worlds to piece together, or four hundred micro-worlds would also work, but that would be a bit complicated."

Richard was somewhat bewildered by the questions asked by the World Tree.

"Are you trying to piece together half a large world?"

The Great World Tree nodded slightly: "That's right. The evolution of the World Tree requires a world. To become a leader, I must have the territory of at least half a large world."

Richard rubbed his temples: "...I'll arrange it. Your priority will be higher than World Fortress."

At this point, all members of the Wizard Alliance, except for the Spirit Desert Civilization, have passed the test for the Dominator Evolution Potion.

"Are we preparing for those people in Lingmo?" Lakat suddenly asked. "Although they don't attend the meeting, they are also members of the alliance."

Richard nodded slightly: "Get ready. However, their turn can be at the back..."

Suddenly, Richard's expression changed drastically.

"What did you say?"

"Okay, I see."

After he finished speaking, Richard's expression became extremely serious.

"Something's wrong. The Spirit Desert Civilization sent a message through the Wind Catchers: the Civilization Devourers have suddenly intensified their offensive, and the Spirit Desert Civilization is about to collapse."
