Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

[System Prompt: The host has successfully used the Heavenly Gate. The Heavenly Gate is now bound to the host.]

[System Prompt: Please break the barrier surrounding the Eslar Continent to connect the passage between the two realms.]

At this moment, inside the Heavenly Gate, there was a golden barrier blocking the way forward.

Upon hearing the system prompt, Sylvus understood that this barrier must have been set up by the Angel Race back in the day.

"Break for me!"

Crack... Crack...

Without hesitation, Sylvus focused his mind.

Cracks appeared on the barrier in front of him.

Since they were in his shop, no matter how powerful the barrier was, it was of no use.

...

When the golden barrier shattered, Sylvus felt a surge of powerful energy coming from behind the Heavenly Gate, and then the system's voice rang out again.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have received a fragment of the Forbidden Codex, which has been added to the system space. Please check it yourself.]

"Finally completed the mission," Sylvus said with a slight smile.

He didn't rush to check the newly acquired Forbidden Codex. Instead, he looked inside the Heavenly Gate.

Now, the Eslar Continent was being filled with a large amount of Deity power.

Soon, the entire continent would be filled with Deity power.

At that time, the rules of the world would also change, allowing it to accommodate Deity-level beings.

"Let's take a look at the Divine Realm first."

Without hesitation, Sylvus flew directly into the Heavenly Gate, disappearing from the Eslar Continent in no time.

"Such dense Deity power..."

It didn't take long for Sylvus to pass through the Heavenly Gate and find himself in a forest.

Dense Deity power surrounded him, causing his divine core to glimmer.

However, Sylvus quickly realized that it wasn't that the Deity power here was incredibly dense;

it was just that there was no Deity power on the Eslar Continent, making the difference stand out.

With a thought, Sylvus caused the Heavenly Gate behind him to merge into the space around.

Only those with great power would be able to detect anything unusual.

Sylvus then set up the mother formation of the sub-mother teleportation array, to ensure he could immediately return to the Eslar Continent if he encountered any danger.

"First, let's find a quiet place and see what this newly acquired fragment of the Forbidden Codex is."

Thinking this, Sylvus flew into the air.

Soon enough, he found a mountain stream within the forest.

After making sure there was no danger, Sylvus sat down.

[System Prompt: Would the host like to merge the fragment of the Forbidden Codex?]

"Yes!"

As soon as Sylvus took out the fragment, the system's voice sounded.

Although the system was still updating, most of its functions were still usable—only the system store was unavailable.

...

Once Sylvus confirmed, the surrounding Deity power quickly surged into the fragment of the Forbidden Codex, merging in less than ten minutes.

[System Prompt: The fragment of the Forbidden Codex has been successfully merged. Please check it yourself.]

Without hesitation, Sylvus opened the Forbidden Codex to take a look.

He was curious to see what kind of forbidden magic he had gained this time.

Riotous Will: Forbidden magic that summons a will of chaos. Anyone within a hundred-meter radius of the user, whose cultivation is not more than three major levels below the user, will enter a frenzied state, indiscriminately attacking until they die.

"Whoa, this is awesome!"

Sylvus's eyes lit up as he read the description of the fourth forbidden magic spell.

This thing was incredible!

Especially when facing an ambush.

Once he used this magic, he would suddenly have many helpers.

Plus, using this spell in combination with Void Spirit Magic would be unstoppable.

Everyone in its path would turn against their own allies.

"Though it only works on those whose cultivation is not more than three levels below mine, it's still pretty impressive," Sylvus thought to himself.

If any race in the Divine Realm provoked him, he could simply activate Void Spirit Magic.

Then, by using Riotous Will, he could cause significant damage—even if the race wasn't wiped out, they would suffer greatly.

"Now I can explore the Divine Realm and look for materials to build my battleship."

After putting away the Forbidden Codex, Sylvus looked outside.

But just then, he noticed two figures flying in from the distance.

"It should be around here. Strange, I clearly sensed a spatial fluctuation just now, but now it's gone."

"Could it be that you sensed it wrong? The Divine Domain is about to open, so some anomalies are normal."

The two figures hovered over the place where Sylvus had just placed the Heavenly Gate.

Sylvus, in his void state, approached them quietly.

"Oh? Could they be from the Beastman Race?"

Sylvus was a bit surprised as he looked at the two figures.

They both had dog heads and human bodies, and their cultivation level wasn't low—they were Middle Deities.

"Forget it, let's go back. When the Divine Domain opens, we'll have a chance to gather some treasures. This time, I must break through to an Upper Deity," one of the dog-headed beings said.

The other nodded and was about to leave.

But as they turned around, they saw a young man standing in front of them with a smile.

"Who... Who are you?"

The two were initially stunned, and then became alarmed.

The dog-headed people were known for their keen sense of aura, able to detect even Celestial Deity beings.

But when had this young man arrived, and why hadn't they noticed?

Could this young man be a True Deity?

The young man was, of course, Sylvus.

In his void state, not even dog-headed beings could detect him.

Even a real dog wouldn't be able to sense him.

"What is this Divine Domain you mentioned?" Sylvus asked the two of them calmly.

"Divine Domain?"

Hearing Sylvus's question, the two were visibly stunned.

This person didn't know about the Divine Domain?

Was he really from the Divine Realm?

"The Divine Domain is a unique space. There are many such spaces in the Divine Realm—some are inhabited by powerful beings, and others contain numerous treasures," one of them said after hesitating.

It wasn't a secret, so there was no harm in sharing.

Besides, they couldn't gauge the extent of this person's power.

With the Divine Domain about to open and many powerful beings around, they thought it best to avoid trouble.

"Treasures?"

Sylvus's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

He came to the Divine Realm to find materials, after all.

"Where is this Divine Domain?" Sylvus asked.

"Over there, on that mountain peak. It will open at midnight tonight."

Sylvus nodded and looked in the direction they pointed.

Indeed, there were many hidden auras in that direction.

"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."

The two were about to leave, but for some reason, they felt an immense sense of danger.

"Did I say you could leave?" Sylvus said with a faint smile, his eyes suddenly glowing red.
