Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

"...This sounds quite interesting."

Richard listened to Ulysses' description, feeling that this Divine Country was a very fascinating skill. In contrast, the Wizard's domain seemed much less flashy.

The Wizard's domain is essentially a variant of field witchcraft, but with the addition of rules, the effect of this witchcraft is greatly enhanced, and the Wizard's control over the domain becomes much more adept.

"It's not that interesting," Ulysses mercilessly interrupted Richard's thoughts, "Besides the rules, the architecture in the Divine Country also requires corresponding divine positions. And as for divine positions, except for a Racial God, any other requires a ritual, which I cannot disclose to you."

"This is not interesting," Richard said somewhat disappointedly, "Does architecture also have to be bound to divine positions? Isn't this discrimination?"

"...I don't see any discrimination. You're an Alchemy Wizard and you delve deeply into shaping... Alright, you do delve deeply."

Ulysses wanted to use Wizards as an example, suddenly remembering that the person in front of him is someone who delves into everything.

"In any case, just build the Divine Country as I said. Of course, this is different from Heroic Spirit Technology, and we must establish a contract to ensure you won't spread it."

"Ah? Do we need a contract with our relationship?" Richard smiled slyly at Ulysses, but was met with a shake of the head.

"Matters involving the core technology of civilization must have a contract. Otherwise, if the Divine King finds out, I'll definitely face Divine Punishment."

Ulysses' voice was also helpless. The two Divine Kings had already shown anger at the disclosure of trivial matters like the miracle of becoming a god. If core technology like Divine Country architecture were to leak, he would definitely face Divine Punishment.

Adding a Destiny Contract might allow him to have some say.

Seeing Ulysses' seriousness, Richard did not continue to argue. As both were World Masters, they understood what could be negotiated and what could not.

After signing the Destiny Contract, Ulysses handed over the technology regarding Divine Country architecture to Richard. After receiving the technology, Richard couldn't help but sigh; the Gods Civilization's research in the area of rules was indeed unique.

Unfortunately, these insights couldn't be recorded. Once he completed the construction of the Divine Country architecture, all his memories regarding the construction must be completely erased, with not a single record left.

Don't think about exploiting loopholes; the Destiny Contract is something even Star Realm Masters must abide by. If violated, regardless of how comprehensive your defenses are or how powerful your strength is, you will fall in an instant. Such a terrifying risk, Richard clearly had no intention of taking.

After spending half a year, Richard completed the construction of the Divine Country along with its architecture. Upon completion, he could only reluctantly delete his memories regarding the technology.

The establishment of the Divine Country marked Richard's true ascension to a Divine. Through Holy Spirit Technology and Heroic Spirit Army Technology, Richard could now establish his own Heroic Spirit army within the Divine Country. Furthermore, with the Divine Country, it could be officially written in the sect's canon that any devout believer would surely ascend to the Divine Country, providing the ultimate assurance for the believers' faith.

Belief in the divine has to promise something; those who seek nothing are ultimately few. With this promise of ascension to the Divine Country, the Miracle Sect could finally move away from the old doomsday rhetoric in persuading people to embrace the faith.

...

"This should be the last piece, right?"

Richard looked at the constantly twisting light and shadow before him and asked the White Wolf God beside him.

The White Wolf God nodded slightly, "It is the last piece, my lord."

After completing the establishment of the Divine Country, Richard began a task he had delayed for a long time—searching for the Immortal Village Fragments.

Back then, when the Immortal Village fell into the Immortal Country, it was not the only fragment; besides the small piece found by the Daoist Xuan Qing, there were several other Immortal Village Fragments in the Immortal Country.

In the past, these fragments could only be found bit by bit by luck. But with the White Wolf God, the World Guardian, it was much easier for Richard to find the Immortal Village Fragments.

Through the Power of the World held by the Guardian, the White Wolf God easily found the locations of the remaining fragments.

These fragments varied in size, some small with only a few hundred square meters, others large with several hundred square kilometers. Moreover, due to the presence of the large fragment of the Immortal Village, these fragments had not been consumed by the world and were thus all extracted from the world's interior.

With these fragments, Richard's Secret Realm expanded significantly in scope, finally looking like a proper Secret Realm.

"Then let's do it. Solve this, and you can also take a rest."

The White Wolf God nodded slightly, then suddenly grew in size, transforming into a giant white wolf over a hundred meters long in an instant. The giant wolf howled to the sky, then leaped forward and entered behind the veil.

The world is like an onion, with layers one after another. And in the crevices between layers are where the world fragments exist.

Richard did not delay either; with a surge of Power of Dimension from his body, he arrived in the crevice behind the veil.

The world within the crevice looked identical to the surface world, except that there were no longer free elements in space, only invisible and intangible spatial storms. However, having visited many times, Richard knew very well these were merely projections. Otherwise, the raging spatial storms in the crevices would have turned these things into dust long ago.

In the crevice where the space storm rages, Richard saw a huge, lustrous bubble. This bubble floated in the air, with several chain-like beams of light connecting it to the void—these beams were the Power of the World.

The world, through the Power of the World, trapped the world fragment in this crevice. Without the White Wolf God unbinding it, once the Immortal Country completely devours the Immortal Village, this fragment would be on the Immortal World's platter.

The White Wolf God was already beside the world fragment at this moment. Through the power of the World Guardian, he cut off the chains of the Power of the World that imprisoned the world fragment with ease. Once all the chains were severed, the gigantic luminous bubble began to move along with the space storm.

Yet at this moment, it was still inside the world. The World Barrier spanned multiple layers of veils, and just beyond the first layer, it was far from the point where the World Barrier could be ignored.

Richard waved his magic wand, and several giant energy chains tightly bound the world fragment. The White Wolf God timely flew into the sky, opening a door through the World Barrier. Then, aided by Richard's guidance, the world bubble gradually ascended and finally passed through the door, arriving outside the world.

Next came the most arduous step.

Ether, unlike other elements, is a substance that transcends many dimensions. Even behind the veil, there exists a Sea of Ether in the Star Realm. Due to the disturbance of the space storm, the Sea of Ether here is even more frenzied, with ether undercurrents everywhere.

What Richard needed to do now was to anchor the world fragment in place, waiting for the World Mushroom to come and retrieve it.

Ether undercurrents surged like tidal waves, impacting Richard one after another. These ether undercurrents had different strengths, with the powerful ones reaching nearly 100,000 energy levels, while the weaker ones only a few thousand energy levels. Therefore, Richard had to keep a sharp mind at all times to gauge the potency of each undercurrent, ensuring he wouldn't be blindsided.

Buzz!

The ghostly blue Composite Magic Barrier shattered suddenly in front of Richard, and an ether undercurrent roughly estimated at 100,000 energy levels struck through the magic barrier like a heavy hammer, landing heavily on Richard.

With a "boom," Richard's figure flew back several hundred meters. But soon enough, Richard stabilized the broken magic chains as if nothing had happened and returned to his original position.

"It seems Lan's suggestion was quite good," Richard murmured to himself as he looked at the bone scales on his body that were continuously recovering.

After heeding Lan's advice, Richard shifted his focus to defense and recovery in the development of his bloodline. In the vast sea of life information, Richard found many life information fragments that met the conditions.

After a decade of research, the battle body named "Perfect Wizard" by Richard had initially taken shape. Through the inner barrier formed by scales, skin membranes, tendons, muscles, and energy cycles, Richard could currently withstand energy attacks of up to 80,000 energy levels.

And this was just the initial "Perfect Wizard." If he continued to research in this direction, Richard felt that he wouldn't even need to study defensive witchcraft; using his body to withstand them would suffice.

The meticulously researched energy barrier couldn't compare to the well-honed flesh.

Of course, this was just a thought Richard had. To not get hurt was not the same as not being in pain.

If an energy barrier can block it, it's best to use the energy barrier.

A few hours later, the World Mushroom finally found Richard.

Like tentacles, the World Mushroom's mycelium wrapped the world fragment tightly like an octopus. Behind it, several other unconsumed world barriers dragged behind like a string of beads in the Secret Realm.

"Alright, Master,"

The World Mushroom gestured an 'okay' sign with its mycelium, and Richard promptly released the energy chains and dove headfirst into the Secret Realm.

"Gah, did you collect all the fragments?" Ulysses flew over to Richard with curiosity.

Richard nodded slightly, "They've all been gathered. We'll move them out in a couple of days, but the World Mushroom might take another few decades to patch the world together."

Although the World Mushroom had evolved once, its size was still too small. Devouring fragments of a few hundred square meters, or even a kilometer or two, was manageable. But when encountering fragments dozens, tens, or even hundreds of square kilometers, it still required a lot of time to complete the patchwork.

However, as the World Mushroom grows larger, devouring fragments will become easier. Once these fragments are patched together, future encounters with fragments might just take a few days to resolve.

"Gah, this world has really made you a fortune," Ulysses sighed, "Once this patchwork is complete, the old mushroom might reach the small sixth level. If he can directly root into the Four Elements Territory, then your Secret Realm might actually become a world. And one that can move at that."

Richard waved his hand, all of this was still too far in the future. Even when the patchwork was finished, the Secret Realm would only be a few hundred square kilometers. In the world, even the smallest miniature worlds have tens of millions of square kilometers.

The disparity in this magnitude means the World Mushroom would need several epochs of effort to even remotely catch up.

"Is there anything important to report below? If not, inform everyone I'm conducting research and shouldn't be disturbed for the next ten years."

Richard yawned; he had been busy non-stop recently and hadn't been in the laboratory for a long time.

"Gah, let me see... there is indeed something. The Floating City Research Institute reports that there's been new progress on the 'Wizard Refining Technique' project."
