Although Richard only had guesses about how to advance to a Level 8.5 lifeform, the Titan King's observations of the Civilization Devourer's advancement data had filled that gap perfectly.
With this data, Richard had a seventy percent chance of advancing successfully, and a ten percent chance of stabilizing after a successful advancement—the difficulty of becoming a Level 8.5 lifeform lay in stabilizing at that realm, not reaching it.
The Titan King had advanced through the Supreme Being's deductions alone, but even after advancing, he had no idea how to stabilize himself at that stage.
But now, Richard had some confidence.
"Lord of the Cluster?" Lakat, the Eye Demon Leader, was the first to ask. "What do you need us to do?"
At a time like this, worrying about personal gains and losses was foolish. If they did not help Richard succeed, the entire Wizard Alliance would be destroyed.
Richard said solemnly, "I need your Civilization Treasures. I need your Civilization Dimensions to acknowledge me as king. I need every dimension twisted into a single rope. I need the era of fighting alone to become history. This World Cluster will be unified—it will become a civilization under an alliance system."

For Richard to advance, he needed to cultivate a Great World-level Cellular Dimension within himself. With that Great World as its core, he would link all his other Cellular Dimensions together and form a cluster-like dimensional structure.
That required an oceanic amount of Dimensional Power.
Even a civilization like Wizard Civilization would have to drain its entire dimension dry... and even
