Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

"This feeling... it's terrible."

The shattering of the Life Core brought a tingling sensation all over Richard's body, and the restructuring of the Life Core made this feeling penetrate his soul even deeper.

Evolution isn't courting death, and the shattering of the Life Core certainly isn't complete destruction.

The main part of the Life Core still remains, maintaining the core that makes Richard human. As long as he holds on until the moment the Life Core is restructured, his evolution is equivalent to halfway completed.

After the World Tree Fruit took effect, the Life Spring and Soul Spring began to exert their effects.

A nearly incessant flow of Life Energy surged into Richard's body, providing energy for the vitality of his cells. The spiritual power formed from the Soul Spring constantly surged into Richard's soul, helping him control the increasingly frenzied Rule Body due to the energy infusion.

While Richard's body was restructuring, his Rule Body was undergoing almost complete reformation.

The two rules infused into the Rule Body had started to exert their effects. If the Composite Rule Body were likened to a newly opened world, then these two rules would be akin to the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Under the influence of the rules, runes as vast as stars began to vibrate and then move.

One, two, three... The movement of the runes generated a domino effect, and soon, the runes of the entire Rule Body began to shift.

The Rule Body was swaying in the winds and storms at this moment.

But soon, a mutation occurred. When the Rule Body was disrupted to a certain extent, it unexpectedly halted its changes. If examined closely, the constantly moving runes seemed to be following a specific path.

The rune model of the Rule Body changed from a static equilibrium to a dynamic balance!

If it were spiritual evolution, Richard should be meditating now, completing his soul leap under the guidance of the Rule Body.

But Richard clearly didn't plan on experiencing another Soul Mysterious Realm.

He didn't meditate but instead merged the three-headed dog into the Rule Body to assist him in controlling it. This Composite Rule Body was too complex, and the spiritual power he had not yet transformed was far insufficient to control it.

The power from the Rule Body began to continuously inject into his flesh, allowing his body to better adapt to the Rule Body, while accelerating the restructuring of the Life Core.

The ultimate goal of Physique Evolution is to counteract the environment, to adapt to it.

Under the stimulation of energy, the restructuring of the Life Core became particularly intense, with large patches of cells disintegrating, but simultaneously, many cells survived.

Life will find its own way.

After a long time, the restructuring of the Life Core was finally completed. Along with the end of Physique Evolution, Richard's soul also emitted the sound of breaking through the cocoon. With the effect of feedback, Richard's soul also completed a leap, and the quality of spiritual power began to rapidly increase.

Simultaneously, Richard's final test arrived.

Hunger, hunger from the soul; lust, lust penetrating to the bone; and the fighting spirit emerging from every inch of flesh, every cell.

The backlash from wild instincts was more ferocious than any spiritual attack Richard had ever encountered. Richard felt as if a person was standing before a flood, the wildness striking his reason like a massive hammer.

His reason was continually retreating, and his gaze gradually became as fierce as that of a hungry beast.

But how could Richard be willing to become a beast?

A battle of will is about quality, not quantity.

Richard panted heavily, his teeth grinding with a crunch, and his muscles thundered. Instinct drove him to hunt, to breed, to fight — but he refused!

He stared dead ahead, although his consciousness had no idea what he was looking at. His keen hearing brought countless tiny sounds to him, but he could hear none of them at the moment.

His will was like an immovable reef within the tide of wildness!

The reason Wizards become Wizards is that their reason transcends their emotions. If they abandon reason, no matter the strength they hold, they are nothing but raging beasts.

No one knew how long it took, but the wild impact finally ceased, and Richard collapsed to the ground.

He could feel his body being incredibly weak at that moment. But his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Suddenly, a ray of light shone on his face.

In the distance, the sun was gradually rising.

Dawn had arrived.

...

"Ga, you finished your ascension?"

In the Temple of the White Wolf God at Wolf Plain, Ulysses looked at the suddenly appearing Richard and exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course."

Richard carelessly sat on the ground in front of the White Wolf God, his body slowly recovering under the rules, with energy in the space surging toward his body like a tide.

"My dual physiques are at their peak, and the Life Rule most suitable for Physique Evolution is within the rules. If I were to drag this out for ten years or eight years, what would become of it?"

"But you ascended less than a month ago!"

Listening to Ulysses' response, Richard was also momentarily stunned. Completing an advancement in one month is indeed somewhat exaggerated. According to the information, even for students with the Physique Crown, the fastest took three months.

But Richard quickly put that aside.

"But I've already completed it. I can't be just hallucinating, can I?"

Ulysses still couldn't believe it. Completing an advancement in one month is also unheard of in the Gods World.

"Remarkable, truly remarkable. How does it feel to become a Level 5 Creature?"

"How does it feel?"

Richard snapped his fingers, and suddenly a Light Ball appeared in the air. Under the illumination of this Light Ball, Ulysses and the White Wolf God both felt a gentle Life Energy nurturing their bodies.

"This is the complete Fusion of Rules. Before, I could only use one Rule at a time; now I can use two simultaneously."

Looking at the floating Light Ball, Ulysses exclaimed with amazement: "Radiation Rule, Life Rule... these two apparently unrelated Rules have been fused by you, and the effect is quite impressive."

"The impressive part is yet to come."

With a mysterious smile, Richard gestured with his fingers, causing Ulysses' body to suddenly tremble.

"Gah! What kind of trick is this!"

Ulysses stared at Richard in shock; Richard had just made his body disobedient.

"This is new Power." Richard stood up, beaming brightly, "I can now manipulate Life Energy. Although this ability can easily be broken free from, it can already determine the outcome of a battle if used unexpectedly."

Hearing Richard's explanation, Ulysses seemed to hear something unreasonable and immediately began yelling loudly.

"Gah, your ability is a bit over the top. Is there no Heavenly Dao left? Are you the Goddess of Destiny's secret child or lover? This is too unfair..."

Richard burst into laughter at those words, and the White Wolf God beside him couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

After a long time, Ulysses finally stopped yelling and perched on Richard's shoulder like a defeated rooster. Richard then put away his smile, stretched his body slightly, and said to the White Wolf God, "White Wolf, I'm going to trouble you for a while. The Werewolf Army needs to expand to a million level quickly.

I've broken through Five Rings, and it's time to commence the expedition."

The White Wolf God stood up, his expression becoming serious. He had heard Ulysses mention the expedition. His master belonged to a vast civilization, and the Immortal Country world was just a stepping stone for his journey home. And yet, they needed another such stepping stone.

"Yes, my lord."

...

Due to Richard's command, both worlds began rapidly mobilizing.

The goblin world, as Richard's industrial base, was constructing the improved second-generation Glory Floating City at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the armaments factory, countless weapon components were flowing off the assembly line, transforming into killing machines delivered to the soldiers.

The Goblin Army regrouped; after the last war, only the backbone of the Goblin Army was retained, letting ordinary soldiers retire and return home. Over the years, although new recruits were consistently being contracted, their numbers never reached that of the past.

This both reduced the army's expenses and injected new blood into the army while also leaving behind enough veterans among the populace, solidifying the societal values.

Now, as war resumes, these seasoned veterans naturally rejoined the ranks.

A hundred years may seem long, but these veterans have all embarked on the Evolution Road as First Level creatures. Even purebred First Level goblins have a lifespan of five hundred years. At an age between one hundred and two hundred years, they are in their prime.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Country world, the newly established Werewolf Army is conducting joint exercises with the Goblin Army. With different races, their battlefield strategies naturally differ as well. Through numerous combat simulations, the newly established Werewolf Army is constantly increasing its combat experience.

While those below were busy, Richard and Ulysses were not idle either.

"Gah, I didn't expect you to prepare such a good thing for me!"

Facing the Abyss Demon before him, a fierce aura suddenly emanated from Ulysses. To Ulysses, the Abyss Demons who invaded his world were all dirty scum that deserved to die.

"Actually, I should have given it to you earlier, but Lan was always checking where its soul was hiding. Now that the soul has finally been found, it holds no value anymore."

In the past, the Abyss Demon was most useful to Richard for its knowledge of Flesh. But unfortunately, since Richard mastered Life Editing, analyzing its Bloodline became more useful than its knowledge. Thus, the biggest use of this Abyss Demon was its method of hiding its soul.

Now that its soul has been found by Lan, it naturally holds no value anymore.

"How do you plan to deal with it?" Richard asked curiously.

"Gah, I'm pondering that question myself."

Looking at the Abyss Demon, the fierce aura in Ulysses suddenly vanished, replaced by a hollow sense of loss.

"There's no fun in killing such sheep awaiting slaughter. My friend, thank you for saving such a good thing for me. But now it belongs to you, and I trust it won't fare well under your control."

Richard shrugged, "I'll take that as a compliment."

With that, he turned his gaze to the Abyss Demon. This walrus-like Abyss Demon was shivering under Richard's gaze. After more than a century, this terrifying guy had become a Level 5 Creature!

He should have agreed to that deal back then.

"Relax, Abyss Demon, I'm not a perverse person," Richard said with a smile, "Once you're of no value, I'll make sure you die painlessly."
