Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

"Fear Demon King?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

Having lived in the Magic World for several years, he was, of course, no stranger to that name.

Five hundred years ago.

It was the Fear Demon King who, with sheer power, forcibly pierced the world plane, tearing open a spatial rift near the Skeleton Wasteland.

As the Master of the Abyss, it not only possessed formidable strength but also commanded billions of demons.

Even though Lu Yuan did not know what that tier-over Dark Forbidden Curse was exactly.

But from the fact that the Fear Demon King risked being erased by the Magic World Will just to descend with an avatar.

It indicated that this tier-over Dark Forbidden Curse was undoubtedly significant.

If it were to succeed, it would most likely lead to another world-ending catastrophe!

"What does the Holy Light Empire have to say?" Lu Yuan asked with a frown.

Since even Norton could get wind of this, with the means of the Holy Light Empire, it’s impossible they don’t know.

Moreover, as the most powerful force in the Magic World, the Holy Light Empire has stood for over a thousand years.

Now that the Fear Demon King is making a comeback.

They surely cannot sit idly by and expect a mere skeleton to save the world?

"Centuries of peace have made the Empire forget the horrors of war; His Majesty the Emperor and the nobility know only how to indulge in drinking and pleasure, and won’t take this matter seriously."

"Perhaps only when the Demon Legion reaches the Imperial Capital will they awaken from the soft bellies of their maids."

Norton shook his head and said.

The Holy Light Empire appeared mighty and prosperous, yet it was riddled with internal strife, already decaying.

Moreover, the Empire wages wars everywhere, resorting to brute force.

Its relations with other races have become a state of deep hatred, a never-ending battle.

It would only take a single spark to ignite all the conflicts and crises.

"The Holy Light Empire ignores this? Then we shall ignore it as well." Lu Yuan stated plainly.

Even though his power had surged considerably after Elemental Refinement.

In front of the Fear Demon King, whose strength rivaled a Tenth-tier Magic God, he was no different from an ant.

Since the Holy Light Empire wasn’t concerned, why should a small skeleton like him be anxious?

Norton hesitated to speak as he lingered long at the Blood Castle, reluctant to leave.

Lu Yuan observed this and asked again, "Do you have something else to discuss?"

"Master, I would like to ask your help with some alchemy materials." Norton scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.

Although Lu Yuan’s innate Elemental Affinity was lacking, he was exceptionally talented in Alchemy, even surpassing Norton.

"What materials do you want to refine?" Lu Yuan didn’t refuse, as he happened to have some free time in these few days, and helping wouldn’t take much time.

Yet when he saw the alchemy materials Norton produced, his expression turned somewhat grim.

Norton brought out a palm-sized crystal ball filled with dense black mist.

As the black mist roiled, a middle-aged man’s face suddenly appeared on the crystal ball’s surface!

The man’s features were distorted, his expression terrified, and he occasionally let out exceedingly shrill wails!

"The Soul-Catching Crystal can absorb and preserve living souls, often used in dark sacrificial rituals. You aren’t planning to summon an Abyss Demon, are you?"

Lu Yuan’s pupils trembled as he unceremoniously questioned.

Fearing a misunderstanding from Lu Yuan, Norton quickly began to explain, "Master, you misunderstand. This matter is related to the Fear Demon King."

Because of the Fear Demon King’s notoriety and vile deeds, the Magic World Will had long regarded it as an enemy.

If it wished to descend into this world, it had only two options.

The first option was to forcibly penetrate the world barrier, personally crossing the spatial rift and descending into the Magic World.

But by doing so.

It would inevitably face interception from the Holy Light Empire.

The second option was Soul Refinement.

Through a large-scale Alchemy Matrix, the Fear Demon King’s soul could be disassembled and reformed, thus evading the Magic World Will’s surveillance.

However, Soul Refinement violated the laws of birth, old age, sickness, and death, viewed as taboo by the Magic World Will.

Should it be pursued recklessly, it would lead to unpredictable consequences.

Therefore.

The Original Dark Organization, to ensure the ceremony’s success, had gathered all its Dark Alchemists.

Instructing them to collect alchemy materials and participate in this Soul Refining Ceremony.

The venue for this Soul Refining Ceremony.

Was at the Skeleton Wasteland!

Given that the Skeleton Wasteland was located near the Abyssal Rift, it could significantly weaken the influence of the Magic World Will, further facilitating the descent of the Fear Demon King’s soul avatar.

"Soul Refinement?"

After understanding the entire situation, Lu Yuan chuckled in disbelief.

The Original Dark Organization was playing such a risky game; weren’t they afraid of anything going wrong?

Soul Refinement was considered taboo for a reason, accompanied by countless risks and perils.

Among all the elements.

The Spirit element is the most mysterious and the most powerful.

Bar none!

The Spirit Element towers over all elements, possessing the power to suppress all others.

If.

The basic elements of earth, wind, water, and fire form the framework of the Magic World.

Then the Spirit Element is the soul of the Magic World!

In the long River of Time.

Countless alchemists have relentlessly pursued Soul Refinement as their ultimate goal.

Moreover, Soul Refinement is related to an alchemy tool that exists only in legend.

The Philosopher’s Stone!

According to records in the Ancient Alchemy Scripture.

The Philosopher’s Stone embodies the power of laws and gods, the ultimate mystery of all things.

It possesses various incredible magical abilities.

It can transmute stone into gold, grant immortality, and elevate a person to become a Tenth-tier Magic God!

However, creating the Philosopher’s Stone is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

At least from the many ancient alchemy scriptures and records Lu Yuan has read.

He has yet to hear of anyone achieving this feat.

"Master, here are the documents and tomes from the Original Dark Organization, which might be of help to you."

Norton took off a Space Ring from his finger and respectfully handed it to Lu Yuan.

This time, to ensure the successful descent of the Fear Demon King’s avatar, the Original Dark Organization had gone to great lengths.

They not only made all their alchemy books available for free consultation by their members.

But also generously provided every alchemist with a temporary Space Ring.

Moreover, the Original Dark Organization also promised.

If the Soul Refining Ceremony succeeded, these Space Rings would be given as a reward, freely distributed to all alchemists!

With great rewards, there would be brave men willing to take risks.

All the alchemists who heard this news were overjoyed.

Even Norton was no exception.

After all, in this Magic World.

Even the most basic Space Ring is a priceless treasure, enough to exchange for a small city with a population of twenty to thirty thousand!

Yet even so.

Space Rings remain invaluable, with many nobility fighting tooth and nail, only to fail to purchase one.

But this time, the Original Dark Organization was willing to spend lavishly, offering dozens of Space Rings in one go.

This shows the depth of their resources and how highly they regard the Soul Refining Ceremony!
