Chapter 127: Chapter 101: Visiting Members and Red Flame Realm

The process lasted for three hundred years. They tormented themselves, transforming from a glorious Interstellar Empire into a massive blanket of flesh that covered an entire Fixed Star System. It continuously squirmed, yet could never unify its thoughts.

They were still squirming to this day, still pondering the answer to that question—the question the Great Wizard had asked on their behalf.

Afterward, this Great Wizard turned himself in.

However, there was nothing the Pan-Wizard Alliance could do to him.

First of all, that Spiritual Civilization had yet to join the Pan-Wizard Alliance, so at most, he could only be charged with the crime of genocide.

But this charge... no one cared about it at all. Even the other races within the Pan-Wizard Alliance believed that if one hadn’t joined the Alliance, they couldn’t enjoy its protection.

As for the Wizard World, there was even less need to mention it. The Wizards, primarily those of the Flesh Abyss, collectively agreed that this was merely an experimental error and that Visari had no subjective intent to kill anyone...

In any case, those old monsters were currently engaged in a heated exchange of insults with the Governor of the Pan-Wizard Alliance.

Finally, there was the matter of specific punishment.

Since he had come to turn himself in, it meant he was still willing to abide by the rules of the Pan-Wizard Alliance. Could they really take coercive measures against him?

Who could possibly take coercive measures against a Ninth Level Great Wizard? Unless multiple Great Wizards joined forces, or a higher-level Wizard stepped in...

Neither of those two scenarios was very likely. No one had the free time to do such a thing. The Pan-Wizard Alliance was originally the product of multiparty compromises; there was no single absolutely dominant Wizard who could lead everything.

Besides, since Visari hadn’t destroyed the Wizard Civilization, it was far more likely that those Great Wizards would choose to discuss the experimental process and improvement plans with him.

Therefore, the final punishment was to first freeze that monster, carve out a small Space in the Wizard Celestial Net to upload their Souls, and have Visari find a way to restore them—which was also a disguised way of letting him continue his experiments.

Of course, there was also a Space-Time Great Wizard who volunteered to perform a time reversal to save that civilization, but this was collectively opposed.

It was said that the Governor of the Pan-Wizard Alliance bluntly pointed out that this was simply causing trouble in disguise, and told that Space-Time Mage to go cool off somewhere else.

It seemed there were still insider secrets to this that Low Level Wizards didn’t understand...

Chen Shang shook his head and tossed those questions aside. Such matters were too far removed from him. No one knew how much gaming and compromise were involved; the fact that everyone could sit down and talk right now was already for the best.

If they ever actually came to blows, everyone would suffer.

After Chen Shang finished compiling the information on the Red Flame Realm, he thought for a moment and sent messages to Ella and Twilight respectively.

The message was very brief, simply asking if they were interested in teaming up to explore the Red Flame Realm.

Both Ella and Twilight owed him a promise, forged when they fought side by side in the assessment world. He didn’t bring up the promises, merely listing out the basic situation and potential gains of the Red Flame Realm.

Fire Source Crystal Cores, Fire Elemental Eyes, and bodily samples of High Tier Fire Elemental Spirits—each one was something a Wizard Apprentice researching flames would dream of.

Ella replied very quickly, almost instantly. "I’m going. Time and place."

Twilight’s reply came a bit later, but she didn’t make him wait too long either. "Sure."

Chen Shang thought for a moment and sent another message to Evelyn.

Evelyn was a Second Level Apprentice specializing in the Flame Element, and he had learned his Flame Compression Technique from her. Therefore, she would be even better adapted to the environment of the Red Flame Realm, and there was a very high probability that she would be interested in joining the team.

Sure enough, Evelyn’s reply arrived swiftly. "I was just worrying about not having good flame materials. When?"

Chen Shang set a time to meet at the seventy-third branch of Elemental Storm, preparing to discuss the route and division of labor in person.

He then turned off his Crystal Plate, opened the trading platform, and began browsing Defensive Witch Artifacts. He needed protective gear that could withstand the high temperatures of the Red Flame Realm.

The Monatomic Heavy Water Shield could block some attacks, but it couldn’t block ambient temperature. The surface of the Red Flame Realm ranged from 300°C to 800°C, and the core area might be even hotter.

Of course, after undergoing Body Refinement three times, his Constitution allowed him to survive in such an environment. However, a good Defensive Witch Artifact would allow him to face any potential dangers with greater ease.

There were plenty of Protective Robes suitable for Apprentices on the trading platform. He opened a page focused on Elemental Resistance and scrolled for a long time before finally finding a suitable one.

Frost Mage Robe.

The material was a blend of Frost Spider Silk and Cold Jade Silk, and its inner lining was embedded with thirty-six Frost Runes. The spider silk came from Tier Three Frost Spiders, while the silkworm silk came from Tier Two Cold Jade Silkworms. Both were specialty products of Extreme Cold Planes, possessing a natural counter-effect against flames.

Its effect increased flame resistance by 65%. When the ambient temperature exceeded one’s tolerance limit, it automatically activated a thermal insulation layer, maintaining the body’s surface temperature within a comfortable human range.

In high-temperature environments, the wearer’s movements would not be affected, and Magic Power consumption would not increase due to heat dissipation.

At the same time, it came with the Witchcraft [Frost Armor].

It could be activated three times a day, condensing a layer of Ice Crystal Armor on the body surface that lasted for fifteen minutes. The Ice Crystal Armor could absorb fire damage up to 1,500 degrees. Upon absorbing excess damage, it would shatter, but it could be reactivated after a one-hour cooldown.

Price: Twenty-eight thousand Wizard Coins.

Chen Shang looked at the price in silence for a moment. His account currently only had a little over fifty thousand, and buying this single Magic Robe would cost more than half of it.

However, he ultimately gritted his teeth and clicked purchase. When the payment interface popped up, the system automatically deducted twenty-eight thousand from his account. Balance: Twenty-three thousand.

The Frost Mage Robe was delivered the next day, packed inside a silver-white, temperature-controlled metal case.

Chen Shang opened the case, and a wave of cool air brushed against his face.

The Magic Robe was a deep blue—a deep blue just like the ocean. Its surface felt very smooth and light to the touch, like scooping up a handful of water, while the Frost Runes on the inner lining emitted a faint, silver-white glow in the dark.

He put it on to try. Its size adjusted automatically, and after activating the robe’s thermal insulation layer, he only felt a cool sensation clinging to his skin, completely isolating any heat on the outside.
