Parallel wizard civilization¶
| Kind | Civilization 1 |
| Base | Core plane with a scorched central continent and ruined temple 3 |
| First appearance | Ch5921 |
A second wizard civilization whose "First" never reached the ninth level, so it never laid down a knowledge-protection treaty, has been at war with its neighbors ever since its expansion drew a backlash, and loses knowledge between generations.4 Deduced by Avery Knight as the "wizards" the Demon God of Destruction's civilization feared, it has survived seven world-ending wars with its planes modified into warships.16 After the four major powers' fusion plan and the capture of both its ninth-levels, it is formally incorporated into the wizard alliance.47
Overview¶
Its warships are pieced from plane fragments and fueled by corpses and wailing souls; its wizards are withered, deformed, mad and greedy, with sixth-levels weaker than their counterparts and very few eighth-levels.2 Its best fighters have stronger fighting instinct than present-world wizards but output multipliers an order of magnitude lower.5 The term "research assistant" does not exist in its thinking, only slaves and experimental subjects.4 It obtained the Fictional Law by studying ninth-level creatures and developed fate-discipline laws toward combat, such as the guaranteed hit.5 Its biological modification is far more radical than the present world's, and its Core Database is opened to David and Jie Ming.8
Structure¶
- No ninth-level wizards; very few eighth-levels.12
- Eighth-level leadership: One wizard covered in runes, one fused with biological armor.3
- Core plane with a scorched central continent and ruined temple; a final combat module costing a third of its slaves.3
- Slave population fueling warships and modules.23
- Core Database.8
Notable members¶
| Member | Role | Notes |

| Armor-fused eighth-level wizard | Delegation leader | Enters the Folded Palace with him.3 |
Relations¶
- The four major powers: Conquerors turned partners; fusion rather than extermination, settlements and re-education, then incorporation into the wizard alliance.467
- Surrounding civilizations: Perpetual enemies since its expansion drew their backlash.4
- Demon God of Destruction's civilization: Feared it as "the wizards" and held its spatial coordinates.1
History¶
- Ch592: Deduced and located by Avery Knight; expected to be more backward than the present wizard civilization.1
- Ch597-598: Warships and wizards sighted; three days fail to open or destroy the sealed rift; every wizard above the sixth level recalled and the final combat module activated; eighth-levels enter the Folded Palace for talks.23
- Ch599-600: Accepts fusion; wizards bring their families to the dueling arena once they see the mild contracts.45
- Ch601: Wizards move into the four powers' settlements and begin re-education.6
- Ch610-611: Formally incorporated after both ninth-levels are captured; wizards seek contracts of their own accord; Core Database opened.78
