Chapter 031
"I have a task for you."
Li Mu looked at Snape and said, "I need you to refine a potion that strengthens the human body's skin in the shortest possible time. Don't worry about the preciousness of the materials. I only have one requirement: the stronger the effect, the better."
Snape glanced at Lily. Although still grieving Dumbledore's death, he nodded without hesitation.
"Borgin and Burkes will provide you with assistance."
Li Mu vanished with Apparition.
Now that the tasks were assigned, he didn't need to handle everything himself.
While Snape was preparing the potion, he could take the time to consider how to deal with the Alien Races in this world.
At Spark Academy, there was a dedicated course on the relationship between Humans and Alien Races.
The opening statement of the course declared that the relationship between Humans and Alien Races was one of conquest and destruction.
Many students found it strange at the time. There were good and bad people among Humans, and good and bad among Alien Races. Was it not wrong to treat all Alien Races as enemies without distinction? Couldn't Humans coexist peacefully with Alien Races, besides conquest and destruction?
The teacher didn't say anything at the time, but instead showed a large number of photos and videos.
These included Humans killing each other, Humans slaughtering Alien Races, and Alien Races slaughtering Humans.
Based on these, the teachers at Spark Academy drew some conclusions.
Even among Humans, they would still kill each other for ambition and profit, and could not truly unite.
Let alone between Humans and Alien Races. In the beginning, Humans had established friendly relations with many Alien Races. In fact, due to the friendly exchanges between the high-level officials of both sides, Humans and these Alien Races enjoyed a honeymoon period of several hundred years.
However, even between Humans, there would still be conflicts. It was even more impossible for there to be no disagreements between Humans and Alien Races.
Even though the two races were generally in a honeymoon period, the relationship between some Humans and Alien Races was not good at all.
Eventually, one day, the ruling class of the Alien Race that was in a honeymoon period with Humans changed.
The newly ascended ruling class was at odds with Humans and was very dissatisfied with Humans. The original honeymoon period ended immediately. Under the influence of the ruling class, the relationship, which was originally friendly exchange, turned into enmity within just a few years. Ultimately, a tragic war broke out between the two sides, resulting in countless Human casualties.
There were many similar incidents. In the end, Humans reached a conclusion.
Whether Humans and Alien Races could coexist peacefully depended entirely on the ruling class.
When the attitude of the ruling class changed, war could erupt at any time.
And as long as there was war, there would be casualties, and with casualties came hatred. Moreover, Spark World had devoured many life planets in the universe. The aliens who fled to Spark World naturally harbored hostility towards Humans. There were even many instances where aliens feigned friendship with Humans only to stab them in the back at critical moments.
Countless bloody lessons, coupled with numerous wars with Alien Races, gradually led to the rise of the war faction and the iron-blooded faction within Humans.
Humanity had ultimately completely changed its relationship with alien races, either complete subjugation or complete annihilation.
This was akin to humans raising cattle and sheep. If, one day, cattle and sheep suddenly gained intelligence, humans would still not give up eating meat and switch to vegetarianism. Therefore, both humans and alien races in the Spark World all adhered to the universe's Dark Jungle Law.
Since it was impossible to determine if an alien race would become an enemy in the future, it was better to strike first, either demanding submission or annihilation.
They would absolutely not give alien races a chance to develop, because even a weak and friendly alien race could potentially become a new great enemy of humanity after developing and growing strong. Therefore, humanity chose to conquer or destroy alien races when they were still weak.
Precisely because of this, Li Mu showed no mercy when destroying Dementors and Giants.
Dementors fed on human happiness; such a race had no value for conquest.
Giants were the same. Giants could interbreed with humans, which was considered an original sin in the eyes of the Human Race in the Spark World.
Because the Spark World did not allow humans and alien races to produce offspring, violating this rule incurred astonishing fines. Furthermore, mixed-breed offspring were not recognized as part of the Human Race. For this reason, humans had even deployed an unknown powerful Spark Artifact to ensure these mixed-breed offspring could never awaken their Innate Spark.
If mixed-breed offspring couldn't awaken their Innate Spark, those alien races would have created countless mixed breeds just to obtain the Innate Spark.
This rule, though seemingly heartless, actually ensured that the Human Race would not be plundered by alien races to forcibly produce mixed-breed offspring.
After careful consideration, Li Mu decided which alien races he would conquer.
House Elves could be kept; they were alien races successfully domesticated by human wizards in this world.
Goblins could also be kept. Goblins had excellent alchemy skills and could serve as outstanding craftsmen. Although their appearance didn't meet his aesthetic standards, Goblins could be kept, provided their control was strengthened to eliminate any possibility of future rebellion against humans.
Besides them, there were also Werewolves, Leprechauns, Flower Fairies, and other alien races that had value for preservation.
But the rest, such as Trolls, Mermaids, Centaurs, Acromantulas, Boggarts, Gnomes, and Ghouls, were either unattractive, hostile towards humans, or lacked significant value. They could all be transformed into HuoZhong Source Power to enhance his strength.
With a detailed plan, Li Mu Apparated to a valley in the desolate mountains.
His Wizard Bloodline had already been upgraded to LV9, but the various magic spells he mastered were at most LV6.
While not all spells needed to be upgraded to LV9, practical spells like the Killing Curse, Imperius Curse, Fiendfyre, Iron Skin Charm, Illusionary Body Curse, Vanishment Charm, Polymorph Spell, and Repair Spell absolutely had to be upgraded to LV9.
Furthermore, he needed to further refine and master the techniques of wandless casting and spell-less casting.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the valley had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The troublesome plants were all completely incinerated by Fiendfyre.
The obstructive boulders were first pulverized into gravel by the physical impact of the Killing Curse. Then, this gravel, through the power of the Polymorph Spell, was transformed into houses and flowers and plants that were many times smaller, ultimately forming a miniature town that was also many times smaller.
Although the buildings were all miniature, the Vanishment Charm had been cast within them.
As long as one got close, even a Giant could live in the houses of this miniature town.
This was not all; there were also many Miniature Humans in the town.
The Miniature Humans split into two groups, fighting to the death within the Small Town.
Moreover, each Miniature Human could use simple magic, like the Iron Skin Charm, Illusionary Body Curse, and Polymorph Spell, casting them just like real Wizards. The only difference was that after these Miniature Humans died in battle, they all turned into pebbles.
Li Mu hovered in the air, looking at the Small Town, which was the size of a basketball court, constantly using his Magic Power to maintain its normal operation.
Through the power of magic, he had created this miniature Small Town.
And through the miniature Small Town, he was in turn practicing the usage techniques of various magic spells.
In just a few days, his main spells had already reached LV7.
Coupled with the Elder Wand's two-level amplification, he had directly reached a level close to the ceiling of this world.
If he advanced further to LV10, taking the Polymorph Spell as an example, he could even create truly existing creatures. Although the creatures created would be difficult to reproduce, they could indeed possess permanent life, which was also the highest level of the Polymorph Spell recorded in this world.
But this was not his end goal. His ultimate goal could reach LV10 plus the Elder Wand's amplification level.
By then, creating life that could reproduce with the Polymorph Spell would not even be impossible.
