Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

Chapter 161: Return to the Aslar Continent

Above the Alchemy Shop in the Holy City of the Aslar Continent, the shop was bustling with activity, with thousands of people lined up. Compared to when Sylvus left, many had already advanced in their cultivation levels, becoming stronger than before.

At that moment, a spatial ripple appeared in the sky. The crowd queuing below turned their gazes upward, noticing a portal gradually forming. Upon seeing the portal, Meylan's eyes lit up. He knew the boss had returned.

In the next second, Sylvus's figure stepped out from the portal, with Deced following closely behind.

"The boss is back!"

"It's the boss! We thought you had abandoned us."

"I heard the boss went to the Divine Realm! That boy next to him… could he be the boss's son?"

"Nonsense! The boss was only in the Divine Realm for a few days. How could he already have a son this big?"

As soon as Sylvus appeared, the crowd of thousands started chattering. Sylvus couldn't help but glance at Deced after hearing their comments. How could this chubby boy be his son?

Deced, meanwhile, looked around in surprise. He hadn't expected Sylvus to bring him to an entirely different world, and the people here seemed incredibly weak.

Sylvus led Deced into the shop, with Meylan looking at Sylvus excitedly. Although Sylvus had only been gone for about ten days, Meylan had felt as if he were without direction.

"What's going on here?" Sylvus asked, noticing the massive plaza outside the shop. While the rest of the shop seemed unchanged, the alley had disappeared.

"Boss, the number of people lining up to buy pills every day became too much and was affecting the flow of traffic. So, Emperor Boone ordered the surrounding buildings to be demolished and built a plaza," Meylan explained.

Sylvus nodded. The plaza outside the shop wasn't a bad idea—it could hold tens of thousands of people, making it much less crowded than before.

"When you finish up here, tell Boone to notify Ronald and Elena to come over," Sylvus said.

Meylan nodded, and Sylvus led Deced upstairs.

"Elder, what's going on in this world?" Deced asked curiously as he looked around. The people here were very respectful toward Sylvus, but their strength was too weak, and the presence of divine power was rare.

"This world was once the homeland of the Titan Clan, but it later separated from the Divine Realm. I only recently connected it to the Divine Realm," Sylvus explained casually.

"The Titan Clan? Elder, are you saying the Titans are in this world?" Deced asked in surprise. The Titans were once the War Gods of the Divine Realm, alongside the Angel Clan and Asura Clan, but they had disappeared long ago.

"Not just the Titans. The Angel Clan is also in this world. They'll be coming over soon," Sylvus said with a smile.

"Elder, are you serious? The Angel Clan is here too?" Deced's eyes gleamed with excitement. While the Demon Clan didn't have much interaction with the Titans, they were close allies with the Angel Clan. Deced had originally planned to seek out the Angel Clan after his emergence, but had chosen to follow Sylvus due to his own strength limitations.

Sylvus nodded, then opened his system interface to check the progress of the update, seeing that there were still two days left until completion.

"For now, find yourself a room and get some rest," Sylvus said, before heading to his own room.

He hadn't yet had the chance to review the divine abilities he had taken from the Dark Temple members. Upon entering his room, he found everything neat and tidy, indicating that Meylan had been cleaning regularly during his absence.

Sylvus closed his eyes, allowing his divine soul to enter his godhead. Compared to when he first acquired the godhead, it now shone with starlight. He had accumulated around 40,000 divine abilities. While he possessed so many abilities, it wasn't possible for him to use all of them, as divine abilities required divine power to activate, and his current divine power wasn't enough to sustain them all.

"Let's take a look at the ability I got from Lal," Sylvus thought to himself as a massive black star flew into view, and a surge of information flooded his mind.

Great Dark Heaven: A god-level divine ability that allows the user to create a world in which they become invincible.

Seeing this ability, Sylvus's eyes lit up. Another invincibility skill!

"This ability is excellent. With this, even if I leave the shop, I can act with impunity," Sylvus thought. However, there was a drawback: the ability required a constant drain of divine power to maintain. With Sylvus's current strength, he could only sustain the Great Dark Heaven for three seconds.

"I'm just a lower deity and I can already manage three seconds. Once I break through to the Deity Emperor level, I should be able to maintain it for five minutes or so."

For an ability like this, even three seconds was enough for Sylvus to kill anyone.

He then examined the other divine abilities he had acquired. Though some were impressive, none could compare to the Great Dark Heaven.

"Boss, Emperor Boone, Clan Leader Ronald, and Queen Elena have arrived," Meylan's voice called from outside. Sylvus returned from his divine soul state and slowly opened his eyes, heading outside.

When he arrived in the living room, he found Boone, Ronald, and Elena waiting. Upon seeing Sylvus, the three of them bowed in unison.

"Boss, we didn't expect you to return from the Divine Realm so soon. What can we help you with?" Elena asked with a smile.

"Do you know of the Demon Clan?" Sylvus asked as he looked at the three of them. Boone looked confused, but Ronald and Elena froze, then nodded.

"Boss, according to the Titan Clan's ancestral memories, the Demon Clan was a powerful race in the Divine Realm. It's said they had a method of refining death guards, which was incredibly strong," Ronald explained.

"The Demon Clan was once the most reliable ally of the Angel Clan," Elena added. "Boss, have you encountered members of the Demon Clan? I thought they were wiped out."

Sylvus smiled and nodded, then waved his hand, and a figure appeared in the living room.

"Introduce yourself," Sylvus said, looking at Deced.

Deced first glanced at Boone, recognizing him as a weak human, so he ignored him. Then, he looked at Ronald, sensing a trace of the Titan Clan's aura. But when his eyes fell on Elena, they lit up, and he hurried to her side.
