Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

As the tentacles on Action swung, a spiral black hole emerged in the void.

In the black hole, countless faceless, cracked Divine Statues fell from it, like rain.

From the outside, these Divine Statues appeared tattered, akin to scrap. But to any creature that has studied the Power of Faith, this pile of Divine Statues is priceless.

These Divine Statues are faceless and cracked, indicating that the Divine beings behind them are already dead. However, the fact that they have been preserved intact indicates that they contain a considerable amount of Power of Faith.

Moreover, this Power of Faith has infiltrated the material structure of the Divine Statues, altering their nature, thereby preserving them when they should have exploded.

For a Divine being, these statues can be imbued with the Power of Faith and then thrown into temples, shrines, or similar places as sculptures. Alternatively, the Power of Faith within them can be directly extracted.

However, these are relatively simple methods.

In the Ten Directions Buddha Land and Endless Demon Kingdom, the Great Demons of the Demon Kingdom and the Arhats of the Buddha Land discovered that these abandoned Divine Statues themselves make excellent array bases.

Arrays based on these Divine Statues not only have great effects but also serve as teleportation points or avatars when necessary.

Based on this, the Dominators of the two civilizations researched and developed the Palm Buddha/Demon Country.

Richard's spiritual power swept over these unowned Divine Statues, carefully observing each one.

Faceless Divine Statues also have different qualities, and the fewer the cracks on the statue, the higher its quality, making it more suitable as an important node's array base.

Those completely covered in cracks, seeming as if they might shatter at any moment, naturally can only be used as array bases in irrelevant peripheral areas.

"Good, you've done well."

After examining these faceless Divine Statues, Richard couldn't help but praise.

This instance of Action delivered a total of 17,000 Divine Statues. If the faceless Divine Statues were divided into five levels, the vast majority of these are at the Third Level. Level Four and Level Five, though fewer, are also less required, while the inferior Level One and Level Two faceless Divine Statues are hardly present.

This is undoubtedly a display of efficiency and capability.

Action slightly bowed to Richard.

"Duty calls."

Then he asked, "Is there anything else you need collected?"

"No, go tend to your own tasks."

With that, Richard waved casually at Action, causing his aura to surge slightly.

Action is an Abyss World Guardian, and the source of his strength wholly depends on how much access the Abyssal Will permits him. As the King of Abyssal Titans, Richard holds the highest authority in the Abyss, so he can easily enhance the strength of these Abyss World Guardians.

"Thank you, My Lord."

Action bowed again, expressing gratitude to Richard before melding silently into the space.

Richard's gaze swept over these Divine Statues, his abdomen suddenly tore open, transforming into a gigantic mouth. Then, immense gravity burst from the mouth, drawing all the surrounding Divine Statues into his abdomen.

"One nation seed requires 15,998 array bases, and these 17,000 Divine Statues are sufficient.

As long as the nation seed succeeds, the Power of Dimension will no longer constrain me. Even if I encounter creatures like tentacle monsters that can nullify dimensions, I will be fearless."

Speaking of which, the Divine Statues that entered Richard's body had already reached a cellular dimension.

This cellular dimension, specially cultivated by Richard, expanded to the size of a small country in just three days.

Its internal Four Elements Rift had already been divided by Richard—the sky is Wind Element, underground is Fire Element, with Water Element and Earth Element occupying the middle.

After slightly adjusting the rules, this world already possesses the basic rules necessary for biological survival.

Next, all Richard has to do is arrange the nation seed and then secretly bring people in from the Wizard World to complete the most basic Palm Buddha/Demon Country. Once one is accomplished, the rest will follow.

The most powerful feature of the Palm Buddha/Demon Country lies here—once a nation seed is completed, the Power of Faith it generates will cause the nation seed to spread outward, continually expanding.

And as a nation's territory grows, the speed of expansion accelerates.

It is akin to a rolling snowball; once it starts, it becomes unstoppable.

"It's just the timeframe that's a bit too short." Richard rubbed his temples with a headache, "If I had a few million years to develop, relying solely on this Palm Demon Country, I could equate to a civilization.

But now, I have at most a few hundred, even just a few decades."

Time is a major problem for Richard.

The power of Dominators often relies on time to accumulate. Even those whose physiques evolve require vast amounts of time to collect various treasures to assist in their evolution.

But unfortunately, time is the most mysterious element in this world.

Even Dominators find it difficult to grasp its essence.

If time truly follows rules, they unquestionably belong to Level 9 Creatures.

...

"Retreat, retreat! Hold the high tower!"

The command from the command center echoed repeatedly through the Mind Network; on the battlefield, ancient Magic Support Vehicles continuously executed magic concentrated fire.

These Magic Support Vehicles are no longer the versions Richard once designed. After numerous iterations, they are no longer the kind that required swapping parts after every few seconds of extreme firing.

The current Magic Support Vehicles can continuously fire 3,000 energy level Fireball Techniques for tens of minutes. And with the inclusion of Fire Element Gems, even in the Elemental Forbidden Area, they can fire regularly.

However, as the battlefield gradually escalated, the Magic Support Vehicles have also gradually withdrawn from the stage of war.

Currently, magic support is divided into two types: one is close-range spell support from the Sky Legion, and the other is destructive spell support from the Floating City or even the Floating Fortress—a single shot of Twelfth Ring Witchcraft, which under normal circumstances, can cover an entire city.

However, the civil war is not the front line; although the Magic Support Vehicle is old, it is very effective for suppressing Wizards without Alchemy Power Armor and depleting Magic Barriers.

On the battlefield, everywhere there are the limbs of Wizards and Wizard Apprentices who died due to Magic Concentrated Fire.

Boom!

Scarlet Fireball Techniques descended from the sky, constantly exploding atop the academy tower. The shockwaves from the explosion caused the sign of Academy No. 77 on top of the tower to tremble.

Yet, it was merely trembling.

Any building of a Wizard Academy in the Wizard World is designed to fortress standards, with fortress-grade construction materials. The combined materials plus enchantments mean that not to mention the spell fire from a Magic Support Vehicle, even a group of Three Rings Wizards performing concentrated fire cannot bring down the tower.

Inside the tower, the students of the academy are constantly moving between levels, manually passing messages.

The Mind Network is not omnipotent; Wizards have many methods to interfere with the Mind Network, or even invade it.

During large-scale battles, using the Mind Network is a last resort, but now with only the tower left, there is no need to use such an unreliable method of communication.

On the seventy-seventh floor of the tower, a Wizard in charge of reconnaissance suddenly called out to his student.

"John, notify the command center; they've brought in a Gustav III Mortar. Where the hell did these bastards get this thing, when I couldn't even with ten friends back in the day."

Beside him, John, who was only as tall as the Wizard's waist, had a dazed look in his eyes. After hearing his teacher's call, he didn't respond.

"John? John!"

The Wizard quickly turned to look beside him. Upon seeing John's dreamy expression, his own expression instantly changed dramatically.

"Damn it, a widespread Enchanting Spell, and those with low intensity didn't even react with their Soul Barrier!"

He said this while suddenly slapping John, snapping him out of the Enchanting Spell's interference.

Slap!

"Ah!" John clutched his cheek, looking bewildered at his teacher, the dreamy look in his eyes vanishing instantly.

"Go notify the command center; they've brought in a Gustav III Mortar. Plus, they've used a widespread Enchanting Spell."

The Wizard's voice was hurried, his actions also exceedingly swift. As he issued the command, he took out a crimson syringe from his pocket and directly injected it into John's body.

"Ah, Teacher, this is...?"

"Don't worry, it's a military stimulant we use to boost our spirits. The widespread Enchanting Spell can't be blocked by willpower alone; external assistance is necessary."

After finishing, he patted John on the shoulder.

"Don't stand there dumbly, hurry up and go."

John steadied his mind and then quickly ran out of the room.

The moment he ran out, a massive rumble erupted from behind him.

The violent shockwave, even through the door, caused him to cough up blood.

Boom!

After regaining his composure, he quickly turned back. Through the shattered door, he saw the room inside was already in shambles, and his teacher had vanished.

"Teacher... is gone?"

An immeasurable fear surged into John's heart; he was only seven years old, and the teacher was the person he trusted the most.

Now his teacher was actually dead.

Other Wizards from the rooms had already walked out. Upon seeing John collapsed on the floor, one immediately strode over to him.

However, his words were not comforting, but rather anxiously asked, "John, what did Anka discover? What message did he ask you to convey? Stay calm, stay calm, don't forget!"

John looked dazedly at the Wizard, who was familiar to him as his teacher's friend.

But now, this Wizard seemed to not care about his teacher's death at all.

"Teacher, teacher said, they brought a Gustav III Mortar. He also said, also said they released a widespread Enchanting Skill."

"Gustav III Mortar? And a widespread Enchanting Skill!?"

Upon hearing John's message, the Wizard's face instantly changed. He did not comfort his friend's only student, but instead flew straight up the passage to the top of the tower.

John watched him, tears suddenly streaming down uncontrollably.

Helplessness and grief drowned his heart like a tide, turning the whole world gray.

"Little guy, wipe your tears, don't cry anymore."

An unfamiliar voice made John lift his head, in front of him, a stranger Wizard handed him a handkerchief.

He then calmly said, "Little guy, welcome to the battlefield.

The battlefield does not believe in tears."
