The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 984 War begins

"What is the structure of this soul?"

In the vast world of the Abyss, on the World Tree, Richard and Samael stood on that familiar platform.

Since Beelzebub was unwilling to become the leader of the Abyss, the position undoubtedly fell to Samael. The other Titan Overlords were no match for Samael.

"They even managed to suppress their emotions."

Samael's voice was somewhat cold; he was currently using the ultimate evolved soul structure that Richard had mastered.

However, the effects of the abyss were somewhat beyond Richard's expectations. Under these circumstances, Samael's emotions were merely suppressed, not completely isolated like Richard's.

"Is it because he is a naturally born abyssal demon?" Richard wondered to himself.

Samael continued, "This state lacks passion; in this state, even the enjoyment of combat diminishes. I definitely won't use this form in battle."

“It’s up to you,” Richard said indifferently. “This form is to help you break through your limits. Reason is crucial for the breakthrough of the soul.”

"Alright, matters of the soul are such a hassle."

Samael's voice carried a hint of annoyance. He was the purest physical evolver Richard had ever seen, and his development of the soul was only superficial.

This dedication, while making him the strongest physical evolver in the entire world, also resulted in Samael's magical abilities being inferior to even the two Titan Overlords.

Following Richard's instructions, Samael began to calm himself down and prepare for the final breakthrough.

Samael's breakthrough was accompanied by lavish treatment.

This breakthrough was orchestrated by Richard, the true ruler of the Abyss, and also drew upon his own ascension experience. Furthermore, the very essence of the Abyss would provide Samael with full protection throughout the process.

This kind of treatment is practically equivalent to being guaranteed admission.

Not everyone has the ability to protect the very essence of this vast world.

Of course, this is just theory.

If fate is against you, even Richard cannot solve it.

Of course, fate's interference isn't entirely a bad thing. Because fate's interference means their strength is already sufficient; even if Samael doesn't become the leader, their power is enough.

As Richard pondered this, the thought even crossed his mind that it would be best if this promotion failed.

Of course, he immediately dismissed that thought.

He and Samael are allies; he'd better not even entertain the idea. Once you cross the line, there's no such thing as a line anymore.

Richard is connected to the Abyss, but he cannot directly control the primal power of the Abyss world. He can only issue commands to the Abyss, which then controls the primal power of the world.

In fact, this was Richard's first real connection to the abyss.

His previous connections were all directly connected to the Abyss Archives.

The moment Richard entered the abyss, he sensed a hazy will so vast it defied description. This will was even larger than that of a civilization devourer, yet it was as thin as mist.

Richard could sense a certain logic within this will. But this logic was so different from that of ordinary living beings that even Richard couldn't understand it.

Richard issued the command, and the next moment, this immense will began to operate.

Within the Abyss World, the primal power of the Abyss World began to enter the magic array. Sensing this, Samael shattered his soul very quickly, without any hesitation.

The enormous soul began to shatter little by little, and was then bound by the primal power of the Abyss World, circulating within the formation.

As his soul shatters completely, these fragments begin to coalesce, eventually transforming into a new Samael.

Outside the World Tree, Beelzebub watched this scene and shook his head slightly.

"Sigh, how could I possibly beat someone with that level of authority?"

As he was thinking this, a rumble came from his stomach, and a vial of virus targeting the cellular level was instantly swallowed up by his gastric juices.

The breakthrough lasted for three days, and everything went very smoothly.

Under the binding force of the Abyss's primordial power, Samael's soul was reconstructed. At the same time, Richard also sensed the change in the Abyss's will.

That thin will seemed to thicken after Samael successfully broke through his limits.

Opening his eyes, Samael immediately threw a punch at Richard. Surprisingly, the punch was completely silent, and even the space around him remained motionless.

Richard raised his hand to catch it, but the power contained in the fist vanished from his body as if it had disappeared into the sea.

"You've improved quite a bit," Richard exclaimed in surprise. "To be able to limit your power to such an extent, this punch could easily kill a ruler who has just broken through to the limit."

“But you just raised your hand and took it,” Samael said calmly.

Richard shrugged: "This is suppression on the path of evolution. I've gone further on the path of evolution than you. Speaking of which, how's your progress in the cellular world?"

“I plan to take a more traditional approach.”

Samael smiled. The information Richard had given him was very useful. After receiving Richard's information, he was able to deduce the next step in the path of evolution with almost no difficulty.

However, he did not follow the cellular dimension like Richard.

He is a creature of the abyss, and creatures of the abyss have no dimensions, only the abyss.

He could not possibly integrate the entire abyss into his body.

Therefore, he took a more traditional approach, which is the most orthodox cellular world.

“I have already programmed the rules to construct the cellular world. However, it will take me a long time to expand these worlds.”

The expansion of the cellular world requires an enormous amount of energy, which can only be generated through the annihilation of the four elements. The resulting empty spaces also need to be filled with the four elements.

Furthermore, pioneering a new world is a delicate undertaking.

Not everyone possesses the World Tree talent. If one fails, the destroyed cellular dimension must start from scratch. This is a long process, so long that even the Titan King considered it impossible.

“This road is very long,” Richard said seriously.

"You're not going anywhere if it's too long?" Samael scoffed. "Besides, I've improved the plan a bit, using the power of the abyss to stabilize the space. I can create worlds much faster than you imagine."

Unfortunately... there wasn't enough time.

Five years have passed since the destruction of the Lingmo civilization. In these five years, both sides have made rapid progress in strength.

Reconnaissance reports from endless dimensions indicate that the civilization devourers are migrating worlds on a massive scale. According to the Alchemy Crown's estimate, the civilization devourers are now the size of three great worlds.

If this continues, the final size of the civilization devourer could reach around seven large worlds.

This is an extremely large territory.

The military force required to conquer it would be enormous.

As the civilization devourers grew, the Wizard Alliance also grew rapidly.

The world migration of the Great World Tree has been completed, and it is currently undergoing primordial connection.

With the technical support of the Ghost Craftsmen, the World Fortresses are progressing rapidly, and the Wizard Alliance currently has twenty fortresses with completed power systems.

The training of the new army was quite effective, and the new wizard legion was a huge improvement over the original wizard legion.

Two bottles of Beelzebub's Overlord Evolution Potion have been produced, and both the Eye Demon leader Lakat and the Cursed Demon King Wildwind have achieved double breakthroughs and become leaders.

As more and more potions are produced, the Eternal God-King and Horad will also reach the level of leaders.

In fact, if it weren't for the fear of delaying too long and causing the civilization devourers to launch a direct attack.

Richard really wanted all the Overlords to become dual-limit breakers.

"You should focus on your training during this time," Richard replied in a deep voice. "I'm going to check on things over there."

……

Back in the Wizarding World, Richard first sought out his student, Wuni.

Because of the Forge of Miracles, Wuni became a sixth-ring Archmage at a young age. During this time, he was helping Wuni become a Crowned Archmage.

Although becoming a avatar of the Crown Throne would mean facing the devourers of civilizations, it's still better than entering the ground battlefield as the ruler of the world and being killed by the aftershocks of a powerful being.

If nothing unexpected happens, this war will begin on the same battlefield, with the upper, middle, and lower levels of conflict all taking place.

Once the fighting gets out of hand, large numbers of people at the bottom and middle levels will die.

“Teacher.” Wuni bowed slightly to Richard.

Do you have any ideas about the ultimate question?

“I already have an idea.” Wu Ni nodded slightly. “My question is whether the power of faith can change the will of the world.”

Despite their name, the School of Miracles actually studies the power of faith.

Therefore, Wuni's ultimate question is naturally related to the power of faith.

"This question?" Richard was slightly taken aback. "This question... are you going to take matters into your own hands and decide fate?"

Wu Ni nodded solemnly: "Yes, teacher. Your path is good, but I... want to try another path."

Richard paused for a moment, then gently patted Wuni on the shoulder.

"Then go ahead and do it."

Three years later, the second Crowned figure of the School of Miracles was born, with the title of Divine Kingdom.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, the world splicing frequency of the civilization devourers has begun to decrease."

Richard's voice carried a heavy tone as he spoke around the round table in the council chamber. The decreasing frequency of the civilization devourer's piecing together meant that the worlds he could piece together were nearing depletion.

If the world were to completely disappear, and Richard's earlier prediction were correct, the civilization devourers would inevitably launch an attack.

“Then let’s start the war,” Samael said immediately, his fighting spirit high. “Once he attacks, we’ll be on the defensive.”

Richard's gaze swept over the various rulers around the round table.

Ten years have passed since the destruction of the Spirit Desert civilization. In these ten years, the alliance's combat power has greatly increased. In addition to each civilization having a leader who has broken through two limits, their world fortresses have increased to one hundred, and each fortress is equipped with a huge number of anti-dominant weapons.

These weapons were crafted by ghost craftsmen and skilled artisans from various civilizations, many of which even surpassed those of previous civilization alliances.

"What do you think?"

"Let's start the war," the Eternal God-King said. "Beelzebub's potion ingredients are no longer available in the short term. Continuing to delay will only result in the upgrading of two more world fortresses."

The civilization devourers can achieve this kind of advancement much faster than we can.

“I agree,” the Great World Tree said in a deep voice. “My editing is complete. Each of these world fortresses surpasses the fortresses we had back then.”

When Richard looked to the rulers of other civilizations, he received only one answer—

Go to war.

Richard leaned back and let out a long breath.

"Since everyone is so united in their opinion, then... let's start the war."
