The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 925 Collusion
"Perfecting the path of evolution?"

Richard frowned slightly at the answer from Lionhead Moko.

"You mean editing the rules within your body, transforming yourself into the evolutionary direction of the world?"

“Yes,” Lion-headed Moko affirmed, a look of surprise on his face as he spoke.

"I didn't expect that despite your ordinary background, you would have such extraordinary knowledge and skills. You've even heard of the evolutionary path of incorporating rules into the equations."

Richard didn't answer the question; instead, he asked, "Is this road even passable?"

"How would I know?" Lion-headed Moke sneered. "Even among the Great Heavenly Demons, I've never heard of anyone successfully traversing this path. However, I did hear a certain Great Heavenly Demon say that this path is traversable, but the process is extremely difficult, and if one were to actually attempt it, only one in ten thousand would succeed."

After saying that, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Lion-Headed Moke's face.

"You wouldn't be thinking about that, would you?"

Richard remained silent; he wasn't just thinking about it, but had already embarked on that path.

“You’ve made a mistake,” Richard said. “He can see everything inside this lab, and he’s seen right through your little schemes.”

Lion-headed Moke smiled, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Richard suddenly "opened" his eyes.

The laboratory was still the same laboratory, but there was not a trace of the Lion-Headed Moko around him.

"He can indeed monitor everything, but he can't monitor souls. He can't see through the supernatural power of telepathy."

He surveyed his surroundings without a change in expression.

It was as if he had just been in a daze.

"So this is the supernatural power of telepathy?"

The information that Deer-Headed Mokho gave Richard included a great deal of information about the supernatural powers of the Endless Demon Kingdom. Although the supernatural powers of the Endless Demon Kingdom and the supernatural powers of the Ten Directions Buddha Land are both called supernatural powers and are essentially the same, they are very different in their manifestation.

The supernatural powers of the Ten Directions Buddha Lands tend to have simpler effects, but their power is greater. The supernatural powers of the Endless Demon Kingdoms, on the other hand, are more complex due to the inclusion of more rules, but their power is weaker.

However, his Mind Reading ability is a rare single-rule supernatural power in the Endless Demon Kingdom.

This supernatural power uses only the rules of the soul, and its effect is quite simple. As long as there is no malice, telepathy can allow for seamless communication with any kind of sentient being. Those who are proficient in this supernatural power can even use it to create illusions.

In the Endless Demon Kingdom, this supernatural power is an essential choice for siege warfare.

Because most defensive soul magic armor relies on malice, killing intent, or some intense soul impact to activate, his mind-reading ability is just right to bypass this layer and create illusions in front of the enemy.

Recalling how Mocha the Lionhead had manipulated his emotions, Richard's vigilance towards Mocha the Lionhead rose to a new level.

If it weren't for the sneak attack, I probably wouldn't have gotten away with it in that battle.

Soon after, clones began to appear out of thin air around Richard.

These clones seemed to emerge from the air, continuously merging into Richard's body—they had already begun to merge during the process of gathering, and by the time the billions of clones reached Richard, only a few thousand remained.

After absorbing all of these clones, Richard's mental power quickly returned to a near-perfect state.

"Alright, you've met all your requirements. Now let's talk about the experiment."

After the clone was separated, another ghost-like creature appeared out of thin air.

His body glowed with an ominous green light, and he looked exactly like the slime that had brought Richard in.

"Before we begin the experiment, I'd like to ask: have you successfully navigated this path?"

Richard shook his head slightly: "No. It's reasonable to assume that even if this path is successfully completed, one will never be able to gather the necessary four elements in a lifetime."

“Very good, this is no different from my deduction.”

The slime wriggled toward Richard. Although it had no eyes, Richard still sensed a gaze upon it.

"Your body is perfect."

"Thank you for the compliment," Richard said, his expression unchanged.

Slime looked away and steered the conversation back to the experiment.

"Just because the physical world doesn't work doesn't mean this path is blocked. I've found a new way, and I think you should listen to it."

"Appreciate further details."

"I plan to integrate dimensions into my body."

Upon hearing the slime's idea, Richard was stunned. In that instant, he felt no joy, only fear of his fate.

Did fate even anticipate his thoughts?
Or perhaps, this was the inevitable path, whether he wanted it or not.

Richard didn't know, but since fate had presented him with this path, it meant that this path must be helpful to him.

“I had the same idea,” Richard replied. “I think we could work together.”

"You had the same idea!?"

The slime's voice suddenly rose to a high pitch, and in that voice, Richard heard an unimaginable ecstasy.

“I knew this was the right path. Come, let me show you my plan.”

As he spoke, Richard felt the space around him vibrate with the slime's voice.

An unimaginable pressure appeared from the void, instantly causing Richard's body to tense up.

He was certain that the guy in front of him was extremely strong, so strong that even Samael couldn't compare to him.

Richard thought to himself, "There's no mistake, this guy's soul has merged with the entire laboratory, becoming a pseudo-world will!"

From that indistinguishable sound, Richard began to suspect that the owner of this laboratory had merged his soul with the laboratory.

After all, the fact that a ruler of his level couldn't distinguish the source of the sound probably wasn't some kind of special technology.

However, due to his telepathic abilities, Richard wasn't entirely certain. Now, with this pressure, Richard was certain that the entire laboratory was actually the body of this slime.

But why would a ruler who is no longer able to follow his own path of evolution be so persistent in exploring this path of evolution?
Is it merely for the sake of knowledge?

Richard sensed that things weren't so simple.

Noticing his loss of composure, the slime quickly regained his composure and teleported Richard to a room that resembled a library.

Inside the room, the bookshelves were filled with all sorts of scrolls, books, and silk scrolls. In a corner, Richard even saw bamboo slips and clay tablets.

The slime walked toward the center of the library, and as he walked, books flew off the shelves and slowly opened in front of him.

"Come and take a look. I'm using only soul script. You'll definitely be able to understand it."

Richard stepped forward, looking at the books with a hint of wariness. But he quickly lowered his guard.

Simply put, this knowledge is too precious.

In these books, the slime had meticulously annotated a great deal of information, such as the results of an experiment behind a certain inference, or the records of an ancient race.

Undoubtedly, much of this knowledge comes from the ruler who enters this labyrinth.

Li observed for a long time, and during this time, the flesh slime did not urge him on.

He knew, of course, how valuable his result was.

After reviewing all the proposals, Richard fell into deep thought.

The slime's plan can be summarized in one sentence: integrate a fictitious rule into the body, thereby transforming the material world that was originally going to be formed into a fictitious dimensional world.

However, the dimension that the slime merges with is not the dimension that dominates it.

What he wants to integrate are replicas from other dimensions.

This is somewhat like taking the long way around.

If one is to merge with illusory rules, merging with the rules of the Overlord itself is clearly a more suitable choice. This rule is inherently closely connected with the Overlord, and merging with it will inevitably be easier than with unfamiliar rules.

Although the explanation given for the plan was to leverage the dimensions of civilization for rapid growth, Richard was certain that there was something fishy going on.

However, Richard did not make a fuss.

This slime's mental state is extremely unstable; provoking him at this time will definitely not end well.

So he calmly pointed out a few mistakes in the plan and began to think about how to overturn the laboratory with Lionhead Moko.

Upon seeing the error Richard pointed out, the slime's body trembled violently, and that familiar pressure once again emanated from the void.

And this time it lasted longer than the previous one.

"An error has occurred! How could an error occur! How could an error occur at this crucial moment!"

The slime's body trembled as if it had been electrocuted, and its entire body was covered with sharp spikes.

Fortunately, the slime didn't completely go berserk. After calming himself down, he immediately said to Richard with great excitement, "Hahaha, thank you for your guidance! I told you, this time it would definitely succeed!"

Richard smiled, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

This guy's strength... is pretty strong.

"Sir, I think you should be able to fix these few errors. Before that, I'd like to say a few words to my competitor."

"An opponent? You mean that guy? No problem."

A snapping sound came from inside the slime, and Richard immediately appeared in front of the lion-headed Moko.

Moko the Lion was in a room that resembled a prison. When he saw Richard appear, he grinned.

“I told you, you had to come too.”

Richard remained silent. Besides the greeting, he heard another voice in his ear.

"What do you think?"

“He’s very strong, it’s a bit dangerous for just the two of us.”

"Of course I know he's strong, otherwise I wouldn't be cooperating with you. This guy's path is to act on behalf of Heaven to control destiny. Although this path is powerful, as long as we make good use of its weaknesses, we can also kill the Heavenly Demon."

Acting on behalf of Heaven to control destiny?

Richard noted down the term; it sounded like a path leading directly to a level eight and a half creature.

What are the weaknesses?

"I can't say everything; I need to show some sincerity."

Richard remained silent, then replied, "That guy is revising the plan. His plan is quite good, but it just feels like it's being prepared for someone else."

I suspect he intends to use this experiment to possess my body.

"Possession?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lion-Headed Moke's eyes. "Then it seems he went astray. In that case, our chances of winning have increased significantly, now we have a 30% chance."

So what's the answer?

"The answer is that the dominant force in this type of path recovers very slowly. As long as we disrupt its energy circuit, it will become weaker and weaker with each attack."

"it is good."

The exchange between the two seemed long, but in reality it was only a fleeting moment.

Upon hearing the greeting from Lion-Headed Moko, Richard calmly replied, "Of course I will come."

"I won't have peace of mind until I kill you."
