The next day, when Huai Shi woke up from the continuous nightmares, he smacked his mouth full of dog fur and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Unexpectedly, he didn't dream of the ghost coming to visit him to pay his condolences.
It was as if he had just woken up from a long nap in the afternoon. His body, which had been heavily injured in the past few days, was recovering quickly.
For some reason, he felt suffocated when he was sleeping.
He had only slept for a few hours, but it felt like he had been suffocating for twenty-four hours.
In the room, Skeleton was still happily playing with Lord of the Flies. He was like a child playing with a pad, trying out all kinds of random functions.
It even learned how to control the voice.
"Hello? Xiaobie, play some music! "
Lord of the Flies rolled his eyes on the cover. "No, thanks."
"Xiaobie, show the picture!"
"No, goodbye."
Skeleton was not angry. Instead, it said patiently, "Xiaobie, tell me a story!"
After being annoyed by this curious kid for the whole night, Beelzebub was about to break down. He yelled, "WDNMD, are you done?"
Skeleton was stunned. Then, it became curious. "What does WDNMD mean?"
"…" Beelzebub was silent.
Feeling Huai Shi's condemning gaze, he felt even more guilty. He coughed for a long time and said, "Uh … this … is … short for 'I have to get a mother tape'!"
After a flash of inspiration, he started to think and started to talk nonsense. "Well … don't you want to listen to songs and tell stories? My body is quite old. I can't play it without a tape!"
"Oh!" Skeleton suddenly understood. Then, it asked curiously, "What's a tape? Is the mother tape its mother? "
"F * ck …"
Beelzebub's steel body twitched for a long time. He almost broke his non-existent teeth.
Tears were streaming down his face.
I'm Osiris's main intelligence. How did I become a parenting robot? It would be fine if it was a child, but it was a skeleton that did not even know what it was …
For the whole night, from the present world to the border, from daily necessities to the Internet, and all kinds of terms, he was almost driven crazy by Skeleton's questions.
Do you really think you're an electronic dictionary?
Huai Shi looked at him with pity and made a hand gesture, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll add another gigabit to your broadband when we get back!"
They had no choice. They were alone in a foreign land with no help. It was rare to find a local in a place like Helios. Even if he might be the grandmaster behind all this, they still had to unite.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know what was going on.
After Skeleton finished asking his questions, Huai Shi finally found a chance to interject while he was cooking for the white mouse, Fish Ball.
He began to inquire about the information he wanted.
The first and most crucial thing was the escape pod.
"What's that?"
The skeleton scratched its skull. "Uncle, what are you talking about? Are you talking about my cousin? I don't know … "
After a long time, Huai Shi finally explained that the escape capsule was not his relative. It was the kind of thing that could breathe in space after leaving Helios.
"Oh, oh, oh, you're talking about those big iron balls, right?"
Skeleton suddenly understood. Huai Shi's eyes suddenly lit up. Then, he clapped his hands and shrugged. "Gone! Gone! "
"What the hell?" Huai Shi's eyes darkened not long after it lit up.
"Gone?!"
"Yes." Skeleton nodded. "When I first woke up, I saw a lot of people rushing into the cabin. They were squeezing and squeezing into the cabin. After they squeezed in, they didn't fly far before they all exploded … If you didn't tell me that it was an escape pod, I would have thought that it was some kind of automatic cremation machine!"
What the f * ck automatic cremation machine!
Hearing that the escape pod could be turned into a bomb, how could Huai Shi not understand that the group of refugees had most likely stepped into someone else's trap!
But the question was, what exactly happened on Helios? What was the grandmaster Pubrilius trying to do?
He couldn't figure it out at all with this skeleton who didn't know anything!
He was getting more and more bald.
But soon, after disappearing for a night, Tongi's phantom returned once again, and words appeared in the Book of Destiny.
"This is also alchemy, Huai Shi."
Huai Shi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Could everything be alchemy? Everything can be alchemy. You can alchemy gold, he can alchemy silver, I can alchemy … iron. As long as one has the heart, anyone can become a grandmaster!
"What else do you think alchemy is?"
Tongi laughed. "It's the 'last magic' left behind by the gods of the old era.
It's a ritual that imitates the authority of the gods. To put it simply, it's no different from the Great Spirit Dance. But it's different from the Great Spirit Dance because the object it uses is not the present realm, but the abyss itself. "
"Huai Shi, alchemy itself is a tool created by the gods to explore the mysteries of hell!"
It was the embodiment of the dual nature of disaster and miracle. Because of this, as long as it involved the transformation of disaster and miracle, it would inevitably belong to the system of alchemy.
Even the Sacred Mark was a crystallization created by alchemy.
The Ascendant transcended the Silver Sea and obtained his own soul. Wasn't this also a type of alchemy reaction?
Tongi said indifferently, "Now, what you see before you is a miracle furnace rarely seen in the entire realm. It's a great ritual that's almost on par with the Tower of Babylon."
Was this Publius' work?
Huai Shi came to his senses and immediately looked at the skeleton.
Suspicion appeared in his eyes.
This guy can't be playing me, right?
"Don't waste your time, Huai Shi."
Tongi flapped her little wings and said sympathetically, "That's just a remnant of the past. It's hard to say whether it's Publius or something else now.
Moreover, have you ever felt any malice from it?
Even if you've obtained a little bit of Publius' memory, it's just a newborn that's only been in this world for half a month … Please quickly reflect on yourself. Isn't your heart too dark? "
"… Aren't you the one who led me to think that?!" Huai Shi was angry. Why was he taking the blame again?!
Also, what the hell was she talking about about the great ritual and the miracle furnace?
"It's the present Helios himself," Tongi replied. "Do you still remember the essence of alchemy?"
"Every gain must have a loss?"
"Yes. Although it's not exactly correct, it's not far from it. To a certain extent, this involves the foundation of physics, and is also the prerequisite for the establishment of alchemy.
And from this, the concept of the conservation of miracles was triggered. "
"Most of the processes of alchemy are to breed fertile soil that represents chaos in a closed environment. Then, the essence that one needs is extracted in all kinds of ways, and what is abandoned are meaningless residues.
In other words, if the meaningless residue is not removed, it's impossible to create a true work. "
Huai Shi rolled his eyes.
Every time Tongi wanted to keep him in suspense, she would say a bunch of nonsense that he already knew. But soon after, he came to a realization and understood what Tong Ji meant.
There were no miracles that were born out of thin air.
Matter or energy might be infinite, but if one wanted to obtain a miracle, they would inevitably have to pay a price.
As the clear air rose, there would inevitably be turbid air falling, and only in this way could the sky and earth be formed.
'Ascension' and 'Fall' were equivalent, and they both followed the principle of disaster and miracle being two sides of the same coin.
If the initial value was 0, then when 1 appeared, there would inevitably be the birth of -1 to maintain the balance of the total amount.
The difference was that a profound alchemist could use secret methods, techniques, and even experience to make the benefits of the work itself outweigh the drawbacks.
If it was a lousy newbie or a piece of trash that only knew how to mess up everything, they would probably only be able to hover around the ratio of 0 = 0. And an apprentice who had just entered the door could already extract the precious essence of one out of ten portions of Abyss sediment, which was 1 = 10.
This was also one of the hard standards of the Stoneware Society for alchemists' assessment. Although the criteria used to evaluate the results were complex, in the end, it could always be reduced to a direct result.
However, even though the standard of this Reality Realm was good, what made people uncomfortable was that it was created by those damn otakus from the Golden Dawn.
The group of solidifiers who threw themselves into the abyss were once talents that were hard to come by in a hundred generations. Naturally, they had great foresight, and their evaluation could not be said to be inaccurate. But the price of having great foresight was that they had never considered space for the incompetent.
The effort and talent required for every level up was almost equivalent to the previous level by several times.
It could not be said that it was not harsh.
In the Stoneware Society's evaluation, only those who could reach the level of 4 = 7 could shake off the title of apprentice and be called a true alchemist.
Huai Shi, on the other hand, was a problematic child who was severely biased in one subject. With the help of the Alchemical Fire, the Hand of Confinement, and the Forger's Skill, he barely managed to break through the threshold of 7 = 4 and touch the edge of 8 = 3. And this was only limited to the field of Metal Studies and his own Soul Equipment.
If it were any other target, he would immediately be caught off guard and beaten back to his original state.
He might not even reach the level of 6 = 5.
It was no wonder that the other alchemists who boarded Helios did not like him. How could a dog's heart and dog's face compete with the professionals who came from a professional class?
As for the hard standard of being a grandmaster, it was the threshold of 10 = 1.
And this was just an imaginary number. At this level, the conversion ratio could no longer be measured with numbers. According to one's own strengths, the former could be almost infinitely large, or the latter could be infinitely small.
The limit for ordinary people was just the starting point for alchemists.
Everyone had their own unique skills.
For example, the grandmaster Mikhail was an expert in group alchemy and large-scale blacksmithing. The more people there were, the better. As long as there were enough qualified alchemists, the items that could be created would be bigger and faster.
Huai Shi didn't know much about that old bastard Garland, but he had heard that he was an expert in the creation of Stigmata. Any Stigmata that he created was, without exception, a divine item that could make a Ascendant even more powerful.
And when it came to Pubrus, Huai Shi knew nothing about him other than that he was an expert in the study of Origin Substances.
"From the looks of it, he's probably an expert in the area of divine carving, right? Origin Substances are the seeds of divinity. That grandmaster is probably not an easy person to deal with. "
Tongi sighed softly. "You can tell just by looking at what's in front of you."
Huai Shi finally understood what she meant.
Right now, in the vast expanse of space on Jupiter, the Sun's Chariot, Helios, had been turned into a giant furnace by Pubrus.
Using the endless vacuum as a barrier, he had used the divine carvings of the Greek gods as a miracle furnace. After extracting the boundless energy from within, he had begun an unprecedented process.
In front of them was a strange world, a hell that had been completely transformed. This was the residue that had been extracted from the miracle furnace.
In fact, this wasn't even the limit. The depth was still decreasing at a frightening rate.
The secret furnace was still operating.
It still hadn't reached a conclusion!
In that case, what exactly was he trying to achieve by turning all of Helios into a living hell?
Huai Shi felt a chill run down his spine.
When he thought back to the gaze that had caused his scalp to go numb, he came to an unbelievable conclusion.
"Of course it's to create a god."
Tongi casually came up with an answer. "Apart from Helios, where else can we find a place that is far away from the Three Great Seals and is rich in divinity and divine power?"
Apart from this place, there was no other place that could allow him to achieve his goal.
To recreate the gods that had died in the past!
In the silence, Huai Shi turned his head stiffly and looked at the dumbfounded skeleton next to him.
He was dumbfounded.
He was so energetic!
