More and more power converged on Nemus, and these forces broke through the boundaries.

Then the sky darkened at that moment, as if the sun had been blocked.

But the next moment, another 'sun' lit up.

It was an eye, a huge eye that seemed to contain endless light.

Yet it seemed as if countless rays of light were rushing toward that one eye.

In the Land of Slumber, Nemus opened his eyes, and Menghe beside him immediately sensed something.

A surge of spiritual power suddenly erupted, and then the compressed space rippled, from which a corpse was squeezed out.

The corpse was charred black all over, with one hand severed. It was the corpse of the underworld, namely the saint Dartmenley from six or seven hundred years ago!

On his remaining arm, a line of silver writing was shimmering.

When Nemus looked down, his single eye covered the entire silver lettering.

Through this handwriting, Nemus saw the entire Silver City.

Ritual nests within space, and space forms ritual.

“I see. When you escaped from the End of the World, Dartmenley had already established a ‘connection’ with the outside world along with you, a stable passageway for leaving.”

"After all, you can't leave the Philosopher's Stone in the End of the World."

"It seems that Saint Dartmenley doesn't trust you either, and has kept some information to himself for his grandson."

"The second generation used this method to bring his grandfather's body out of the End."

According to the D'Artemli family records, after consulting various documents and other materials, the second generation seemed to have discovered something, activated the Holy Path, and then left.

From this perspective, it is likely that they saw the information left by Saint Dartmenley and learned of the existence of the Land of Slumber and the Land of the End.

As the person involved, the second generation is currently transformed into a roaring 'Ghoul King', running wildly through the Silver City.

His body rapidly changed, and the entire ghoul event around him began to expand further.

The power of the corpse surged into his body, using him as the sharpest blade to cut into the Silver City's system, and then further corrupt the entire Silver City.

Now that things have come to this, the second generation has no other purpose but only one thought: to explode with Jina.

He took the body away, intending to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone.

He lost to Dina in the struggle and died here, he admitted.

However, Dina was too disgusting. In order to increase efficiency, she actually made him eat his grandfather's corpse in a roundabout way.

“There is no difference.” Dina’s body slowly condensed, and countless alchemical phenomena and rituals overlapped to form his body.

He barely made a move, yet the entire Silver City began to change.

The internal alchemical rituals progressed layer by layer, and the previously broken and stagnant Silver City began to function once again under the influence of this force.

“Saint-Datemenli lost to me back then, and you lost to me too.”

"And today I have only lost to another True Spirit."

He continuously used his own power to curb the pollution of the underworld corpses brought by the second generation.

But the next moment, another heavy blow came.

The spacetime system within the entire Silver City is becoming disordered, and the refresh of various events is starting to change.

The city lord stood on the land of the Silver City, and her image began to transform into that of a dragon.

The existence of the five clans in the Silver City each has its own significance.

The Dragon Blood lineage is associated with 'time'.

The reason why events can be continuously read and refreshed is that time records everything.

And this record is history.

The existence of the Dragon Bloodline makes the event refresh process smoother.

But now, the city lord has betrayed us.

Dina frowned slightly, and then a luster resembling gold, yet surpassing gold, emanated from him, a luster that exuded an even more noble aura.

The originally chaotic events were forcibly suppressed.

Upon seeing that glimmer of light, Nemus naturally understood what it was.

He himself had something similar.

However, this aspect of Dina has the feeling of flowing water, vast and mighty.

What Nemes possessed, however, was pure gold, so pure that it seemed to set aside something else, thus creating an extreme change.

The number of divine beings!

"Dragonborn, will you also betray me?" Dina asked.

"It's not that I want to betray you, but that you've already decided to betray us," the city lord said, his figure approaching from afar, his voice overlapping with countless others.

That is the echo of time.

On a time scale, the city lord is the city lord at this moment, but in the more distant past, the city lord was a 'Dragonborn'.

After the Dragon God died, almost all the dragons were killed.

A small number of dragonborn can only preserve themselves by manipulating the time scale.

“Be careful, his goal is to manipulate time and attract that being’s tentacles.” The Dragonborn warned Nemus as he spoke.

They didn't care about the dispute between Nemus and Dinai; they only cared about one thing: who would take down the sun god.

“I understand!” Nems nodded, not becoming complacent just because the victory was already secured.

Dina's current understanding leans towards a win-lose mentality.

He couldn't accept losing, nor did he want Nems to 'win'.

As the two were about to determine a winner, Nems guessed that his opponent would definitely cause trouble.

The best way to extend this concept to others is to introduce a powerful third party—the God of the Sun.

The information that Dina had revealed earlier came in handy at this moment.

The number of divine attributes possesses an 'origin'.

In the different possibilities of the world, each number of deities has its own origin.

With the split of the divine personality, an endless 'war of gods' will inevitably begin.

Although they were in the Land of Slumber, the power of the Sun God dared not forcibly descend to launch a surprise attack.

However, this does not mean that there are no other ways to 'circumvent' the problem.

The divine battle between Dina and the opposing side was a roundabout tactic.

If Dina uses this to introduce the sun god, then in the end, the philosopher's stone will probably not be so easy to obtain.

He himself also had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and turn his single loss into a small loss.

The Dragonborn naturally saw this, which is why they decisively turned against the Dragonborn.

Anyone can win, except the Sun God, who cannot continue to win.

The Dragonborn will forever remember the grudge of the enemy killing the Dragon God, and will do everything in their power to seek revenge!

It was at this moment that Nemes made his move.

He reached for the 'corpse of the underworld's' hand, and the silver on its hand began to emit a terrifying light.

Chapter 769 The Philosopher's Stone

At this moment, Dina is completely abandoned by everyone.

No one was on his side.

Comparatively speaking, no one is willing to risk their life for someone who is willing to do anything as long as they can win.

The Dragonborn were so quick to betray their cause because they were very clear about Dina's methods.

If the Dragonborn hadn't intervened first, Dina would probably have already dragged the Sun God down with him.

At that time, the Sun God would certainly not mind wiping out the Dragonborn, beings who harbor hatred towards Him.

Dina knew this, but didn't care.

Since that's the case, the Dragonborn doesn't care about the alliance with Dinah.

This is a mutual choice.

Many people never understand why they were betrayed, or why they would remain loyal to someone else even though that person would betray them.

This is a barrier between hearts, a gap in cognition.

It also formed between Nems and Dina.

“Nemus, I lost this time, but I won’t next time!” Dina said, and then the entire alchemical ritual changed rapidly.

A silver hue began to change, causing slight fluctuations in space, which then swiftly took away Dina's core.

His final strategy failed; he couldn't draw the sun god into the battle, and staying any longer would bring him no benefit.

Since that's the case, it's better to leave.

The key is to find other materials as soon as possible and get the Philosopher's Stone out in a short time.

However, before leaving, Dina still took most of the ritual with her.

The entire process of refining the Philosopher's Stone came to a standstill.

Although Nemus possesses considerable alchemical skills, recreating the alchemical ritual on the corpse and completing the refinement of the Philosopher's Stone is not an easy task.

Looking at the half-finished 'corpse', Nems was not in a hurry.

He did not change his initial strategy and remained determined to reach the mythical realm as a demon prince.

“It’s barely enough.” Nemus grasped the corpse’s hand and then gently moved it.

The remaining silver from the corpse quickly flowed into that hand.

The writing in his hand changed rapidly, then coalesced, and a stone appeared in Nemus's hand.

This stone appears to be silver, red, or gold.

It looks like a stone, weighs about the same as a stone, and even feels like a stone to the touch.

However, if Nemes wanted to, this stone could be deformed arbitrarily within a certain range.

Nemus can turn it back into the Silver City, turn it into a weapon, and even turn it into a 'person'.

This person can even possess a sense of self and consciousness, and is capable of thinking.

Therefore, in alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone is also known as the universal cauldron.

This is the alchemist's best tool, allowing them to quickly set up alchemical rituals wherever they are.

Nemes grasped the Philosopher's Stone, slightly shifted its position, and then activated the stone in his hand.

The elements in the air were absorbed by the stone, and then quickly transformed into what Nemus needed.

These things complemented each other and then merged together, and that's how Nemes created bodies dressed in clothes.

Then, within the Philosopher's Stone, those 'Refreshers' who had previously completed their self-completion and sublimation through the use of authority were mobilized and injected into those bodies.

"Is this... the real world?" The city lord stood on this land, breathing in the fresh air, and felt that everything seemed to have changed.

Everyone felt a sense of curiosity about the new world.

Then Nemus, holding the Philosopher's Stone, waved his hand slightly, and the people saw familiar cards flying towards them.

"The real world is not bound by alchemical rituals, nor by the constraints of action time, so combat does not require complete reliance on cards."

"I've made minor adjustments to your cards."

"You may need some time to adjust."

"Then you can prepare to be promoted to a Gold-tier."

Nemus said, "Of course, in exchange for keeping you alive, I expect you to obey my orders and carry out some combat commands."
