"Invited to take part in trying their luck…?"
Tina's lips curled with a smile that said that she was screwed.
Concocting a pill made out of the core of a realm using the body of the realm as the cauldron and the apocalyptic flames as the cauldron flame?
Even without any prior knowledge, she could figure out how ridiculous this statement was.
Dalila, Sophie, and Bylai were also at a huge loss.
They had come here as alchemists and forgemasters. Was this what they were called here for?
What knowledge did they have about realms? What knowledge did they possess over refining such a huge realm core while controlling the apocalyptic flames? How under the heavens could they use the realm itself as the cauldron?
So many questions flew past their head, but the incredulity of this notion left them speechless and thoughtless.
Particularly, Bylai's expression sank.
Although Bylai couldn't forge, she had immense experience in aiding Sophie in smithing armaments and artifacts, and she had made sure to learn the appropriate knowledge with her Solitary Soul Avatar as well.
In essence, she was like the sharpener of the forge.
But this… she felt it was way above her paycheck, as Mingzhi would say. After all, how was she supposed to act as the sharpener here and smoothen the process of forging?
The others also gulped ever so lightly, finding it difficult to understand the implication of this matter.
Even the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder, Fairy Thunderblaze's head, leaned back as though she couldn't believe such a thing and that Davis was just kidding.
However, his expression didn't exude such intent.
After smiling wryly, Davis released a heavy sigh, his expression turning normal.
"It seems some Minor Realms and all the Lower Realms and Upper Realms have been invited to the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm to test their ability in this concoction, and each realm is allowed to bring five people with at least one alchemist and one forgemaster among them."
"And these youths really came here to test their ability against a realm?"
Myria's lips twitched, causing Davis to nod.
"It seems to be the case."
"If they are here, then they must at least have some kind of confidence, even if the concoction success rate is less than five percent."
Myria felt that if the success rate was any lower, then no one would dare try. However, it should still be too low, meaning that if it failed— a cauldron explosion at this level would be…
"…!"
Myria shuddered, unable to believe that there would be such a mad person out there who devised a way to be able to concoct this kind of pill as it would wipe out everyone in the realm if it failed. But at the same time, her eyes shone, wondering what kind of pill would be born from such a concoction.
"Indeed. The necessary preparations seemed to have been made by a legendary character whose name or title is not known as this idiot from the Crimson Pathflame Lower Realm seems to be unaware, but it seems like the Astral Pill Upper Realm and Forgeheart Pill Upper Realm both fought for this legendary character to become their Patriarch."
"Oh? That means he mastered both the arts of alchemy and forging?"
Davis shrugged, "I presume it's safe to assume that this character was born in the past few million years since you seem to have not heard about them."
Myria nodded.
She really hadn't heard of such a genius, although she still perceived this person as a mad person to have devised a way to be able to concoct a pill like this. As an alchemist herself, she was curious, but it seems like this work of that person requires both alchemists and forgemasters to work.
She turned to look at Tina, wondering if she was up to the task.
"The human race's ability to adapt, learn and overcome is truly remarkable…" Cyclonis Blizzara sighed ever so lightly.
She didn't know much but felt this was like one of the monumental achievements of the human race.
From inferring the energy circulation of Magical Beasts, Spirits, and the so-called heaven's favorite Seraphim all the way here, she couldn't help but feel intrigued. Her gaze also fell on Davis, never having seen someone like him in the human race.
"The human race is still lacking compared to the magical beasts who have conquered four Greater Realms from time immemorial."
"…"
Myria uttered, causing Cyclonis Blizzara to feel some pride and shock.
"I assume these beasts are the most direct descendants of Paragon Magical Beasts…?" The latter asked in a hesitant tone.
Myria nodded in response.
Although the others could only take a heavy breath at this stunning information, understanding that they were nowhere near giants to a profound level, they also gazed at Myria deeply, coming to understand that she was an outsider no matter how one looked at it.
She was too knowledgeable about the true immortal world for them to consider if she had just soulscoured some outsider in the First Haven World.
If it weren't for Davis saying nothing but even relying on her input, they would've started doubting if she was their ally. But on the other hand, Fairy Thunderblaze seemed very intrigued.
"Can I soulscour them?"
She asked, causing Davis to turn to look at her.
"No."
"…" Fairy Thunderblaze blinked, "On what condition would you allow me to gain information from them?"
"Hmm…" Davis pursed his lips, wondering what her intent was. However, it wasn't like he didn't realize how important information was in order to survive here. His gaze flickered as he pointed behind.
"If you can catch him, I won't have a problem as he would no longer be my prey."
"…?"
Fairy Thunderblaze turned to look past him when she saw the unconscious Eiren abruptly jump and dash into the distance. He instantly gained a few thousand kilometers in the distance, breaking through all obstacles in space, leaving Fairy Thunderblaze speechless as she turned to look at Davis.
Was he going to let him leave just like that, expecting her to go chase him?
"Fair enough~"
*Booom!~* *Bzzz!~*
With a thunderous explosion underneath her feet, Fairy Thunderblaze left a crater in her wake, her figure transforming into a trail of crimson-black lightning.
The annihilative properties of her lightning had Davis's eyes gleaming, slightly astonished to see that she had really mastered the use of annihilative heavenly lightning as it wasn't easy to absorb, much less to use, causing him to wonder what kind of constitution she possessed.
'Since she is possibly an Anarchic Divergent, she must have a strange physique…'
He imagined that she could've just kept the heavenly lightning as some sort of boosting pill, but it didn't seem like the case as she truly seemed to be in control of black-crimson annihilative lightning.
Trying to gather information on her, he closely kept an eye as his soul body walked out of him and followed.
Meanwhile, he stretched his true body and got to soulscour the other three disciples from the Crimson Pathflame Lower Realm, hoping to find some other information he could've missed.
