"What about the Supreme’s inheritance?" Richard continued to ask.
The appearance of the Furnace Fire Spirit changed again; this time, it morphed into a gigantic spherical crystal.
"The Supreme’s trial is a trial of will. Do you remember the Soul Darkness you encountered during your Spiritual Evolution at the Low Tier of life?
The Supreme’s trial is an upgraded version of that."
"An upgraded version?" Richard was somewhat taken aback.
The taste of Soul Darkness, even now as a Dominator, recalling it makes his scalp tingle.
The Supreme’s trial is indeed a strengthened version of it.
The voice of the Furnace Fire Spirit was very serious: "Yes, during the trial, your sense of time will not only be distorted, but you will also suffer various torments and temptations.
This is the most difficult and most important hurdle among the three trials.
The attack of the Civilization Devourer is never confined to the material realm; the mind is also a battlefield against it."
"There’s even added torment?"
Richard’s expression twisted somewhat; distorted senses of time combined with torment, wouldn’t this be equivalent to entering Hell?
What exactly can such a cruel trial bring?
"What about the Supreme’s inheritance?"
"A Civilization Treasure, a calculation chip that can accelerate Dominator calculations."
"Accelerate Dominator calculations?"
Richard listened to this ability with a feeling as though he had heard incorrectly.
Isn’t this ability too simplistic?
The Titan Civilization Treasure—crafted with legendary and dimensional skills, a mythical treasure embodying the essence of Shepherd Star Titan Civilization.
The Supreme Civilization Treasure—a calculation chip that can accelerate computation.
The style of those two things seems completely different!
"The ability is indeed as stated," the Furnace Fire Spirit calmly said.
"How much can it accelerate?" Richard asked tentatively.
With such a single ability, the numbers must be extremely exaggerated.
Listening to this answer, Richard’s face was full of disbelief.
"Isn’t this number a bit too low?"
"Low?" The Furnace Fire Spirit shook, seemingly mocking Richard for not recognizing a precious item.
"From my perspective, anything that can increase computational power has an upper limit. No matter how strong it is before hitting the limit, once at the limit, the amplification stops at that limit.
But this calculation chip is different; even past Leaders have never touched the amplification limit when using it.
Do you know how many times more computation power a Leader has compared to a typical Eighth Ring spiritual power limit Dominator?"
The Furnace Fire Spirit paused, and under Richard’s shocked gaze, revealed a terrifying number.
"Five hundred times. A single Leader’s computational power is equivalent to five hundred times that of an Eighth Ring spiritual power limit Dominator."
Hearing this figure, Richard swallowed hard.
This number is indeed rather terrifying.
A computational power gap of five hundred times—a number that seems exclusive to another tier of being.
This computational power gap is larger than the gap between human and dog computation.
Yet even so, this calculation chip still hasn’t reached its limit.
"This...certainly deserves to be called a Civilization Treasure."
The Furnace Fire Spirit reverted back to the Furnace Man.
"The calculation chip is excellent, but for your current situation, it’s not very useful. Your spiritual power is only a scant six hundred points; this base, even enhanced by the chip, won’t show a significant improvement."
Richard nodded slightly; indeed, he hadn’t had the chance to enhance his spiritual power.
However, enhancing spiritual power is not a difficult task for him.
With his current strength, just a visit to the Ghost Soul Dimension or Nightmare World can garner substantial Soul Essence.
Though Soul Essence’s effect appears somewhat weak to beings at the Dominator Level—the strength of the Star Realm Master not only dims ordinary harm but also similarly diminishes the benefits applicable during the Great Wizard phase.
However, as long as the quantity is sufficient, even if the effect is faint, it doesn’t matter.
As for the contract with the Dominator of the Nightmare Wizard World... Richard might as well not go to the Nightmare Wizard World.
For a Dominator, entering the Nightmare World of different worlds is not a difficult affair.
And reaching an agreement with the Dominator of the Nightmare Wizard World is merely because ordinary Wizards can’t achieve this.
"Things have multiplied," Richard sighed inwardly.
Although his strength continuously increases, his time grows ever more insufficient.
A rare situation, indeed, for a Star Realm Master.
Richard turned to look at the Furnace Fire Spirit, asking, "Now that I’ve passed the Furnace Fire Trial, can I freely devour this dimension?"
This month’s high-pressure evolution, along with nearly a thousand-point increase in physique, has also made his Life Core resemble a skyscraper with an unstable foundation, liable to collapse at any moment.
Currently, Richard must stabilize his Life Core before attempting further evolution.
Therefore, the Titan Trial has to pause temporarily.
"Devour?" The Furnace Fire Spirit shook its head sharply, "Devouring won’t work; if you wish to grow the dimension, I can infuse it with Power of Dimension.
Devouring is too stimulating for me; I might react instinctively and kill you."
The Furnace Man Dimension, although weakened, is spread across the World Community, making its speed of decline much less than the other two dimensions.
Even after a million years, the power mastered by the Furnace Fire Spirit is still enough to crush any non-Breaking Limit Sovereign.
"Input? How to input?" Richard asked curiously.
"It’s simple." The Furnace Fire Spirit smiled slightly, "You just expand your dimension."
Following the spirit’s instructions, Richard complied. The weak Miracle Dimension expanded from the center around Richard, instantly opening up a space belonging to him within the Furnace Man Dimension.
"Such a weak dimension." The Furnace Fire Spirit evaluated unceremoniously.
After speaking, the spirit looked at Richard and said earnestly, "Although dimensions often do not play a crucial role in battles at the Dominator Level, the rules within the dimension do need to be added.
These rules can increase your power, and some rule combinations are greatly beneficial for Dominator Level battles.
For example, the creation and annihilation of the Four Elements Rules, the status maintenance of Life and Death Rules, life and death transformation, and the black hole of the Gravity Rule and Space Rule—these are all good abilities."
Richard nodded slightly; this suggestion was indeed worth implementing.
The rules are not only beneficial for the dimension but also a necessary material for the Titan Body Cultivation Method.
Since Richard understood, the Furnace Fire Spirit said no more, and with a slap on the furnace, endless furnace flames surged from the furnace mouth, enveloping the Miracle Dimension.
At the next moment, Richard felt another connection added to his dimension.
"Oh? Already three dimensions. It seems you have quite the opportunities."
The Furnace Fire Spirit noticed the three Civilization Dimensions connected to the Miracle Dimension and couldn’t help showing some surprise.
Civilization Dimensions are not easy to connect with.
It’s hard for outsiders to establish a connection with a Civilization Dimension if they are not main members of the native civilization.
"Indeed, some opportunities." Richard smiled.
With the connection established between the Furnace Man Dimension and the Miracle Dimension, Richard immediately sensed the surging Power of Dimension enter his dimension.
If his dimension were to be compared to a Secret Realm, now it was expanding outward at an astonishing speed.
If this speed were maintained, Richard could ensure that in less than three years, his dimension would mature completely.
By then, the size of his Miracle Dimension would be comparable to a large world, and it would give birth to Illusion Creatures and dimensional wonders.
The dimensional power within the dimension would form a large cycle; even if Richard faced death or the dimension disconnected from the Civilization Dimension, this dimension would continue to exist.
This also implies that the dimension will become something that can be inherited.
"Alas, it’s growing faster and faster."
Richard looked at the continuously expanding Miracle Dimension and sighed slightly in his heart.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and as he grows faster, he will face real difficulties sooner.
However, this is the path he chose, and he has no regrets about it.
The growth of the dimension requires no concern from Richard, so he simply left it and focused on stabilizing his Life Core.
Using the Abyssal Evolution Field, Richard began to correct the dislocated fragments of the Life Core.
As the dimension grew day by day, Richard’s strength also continued to improve.
Stabilizing the Life Core caused Richard’s physique score to drop by more than a hundred points, yet his physique still reached three thousand points.
Then came the continuation of the trials and further stabilization of the Life Core.
The Furnace Fire Spirit was not displeased with Richard’s behavior, dutifully acting as Richard’s whetstone.
Through repeated trials, Richard’s physique soared at an incredible speed.
Moreover, while stabilizing the Life Core, Richard employed Dual-Mind to continue studying the Furnace Man legacy.
The runes of Furnace Men and Wizards have many similarities, and during research, the thought processes of both civilizations can mutually compensate and promote each other.
After a round of research, not only did Richard strengthen the study of Furnace Man Rune, but his own Wizard Rune Studies progressed significantly.
This made Richard sigh; the Path of Truth has different approaches that lead to the same result.
Though the forms differ, truth remains unchanged, never changing its essence.
Three years passed in a blink.
Accompanied by a movement from the soul, Richard, who was stabilizing the Life Core and studying the Furnace Man legacy, suddenly opened his eyes.
After three years of intense infusion from the Furnace Man Dimension, his dimension was finally fully formed.
And now he was also called Eight Rings of Truth, or simply Eighth Level Star Realm Overlord.
Richard stood up and slightly bowed to the Furnace Fire Spirit not far away: "My dimension is mature; you no longer need to continue inputting dimensional power."
"Oh? Already matured?"
The Furnace Fire Spirit seemed somewhat surprised, turned around, slapped the furnace, and ceased the infusion of dimensional power.
Compared to three years ago, the flames on the Furnace Fire Spirit were visibly dimmer.
Though Furnace Men still exist in the Furnace Man Dimension, the dimensional power brought by them can only slow the decline of the Furnace Man Dimension.
The Furnace Man Dimension is far weaker than it was a million years ago. Nurturing Richard’s dimension to maturity truly wasn’t an easy task.
"Go replenish your spiritual power and rules." The Furnace Fire Spirit said softly, "The most important thing in Physique Evolution is the experience of life and death trials. I won’t kill you, so under me, your Physique Evolution can only reach this degree."
In three years, Richard’s physique was enhanced from over two thousand points when he first arrived at this dimension to seven thousand points now.
To further improve, the stimulation from the Furnace Fire Spirit is no longer sufficient.
To continue this rapid enhancement, Richard must truly engage in life-and-death battles, forcing his body to evolve between life and death.
Richard retracted the dimension and performed the most respectful salutation among Furnace Men to the Furnace Fire Spirit.
The Furnace Fire Spirit reciprocated with the same gesture.
Richard turned around, and a Rune Gate appeared before him.
Two years ago, the Truth Council had already notified him to head to the frontline, but he had deferred due to critical business that couldn’t be left unattended.
Now that his dimension is formed, he should proceed to the frontline to fulfill his responsibilities as the Crown Throne.
