Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 590 - 298: Luoning’s Problem_2

Of course, for someone as powerful as Baiyi, these so-called darknesses are insignificant matters.

At least in Dongwu City, any darkness that Baiyi doesn’t allow won’t be born; his Spiritual Power is more effective than surveillance. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in his city will truly perish if swept by his Spiritual Power.

Although he doesn’t monitor the entire city all the time, it’s normal for him to sweep it occasionally.

The two walked around for a long time without speaking; Diane emanated an invisible force field that prevented players and passersby from seeing them as they wandered through the Inner City District.

Eventually, they arrived at the top of a building, overlooking the increasingly prosperous city.

"If things could always be like this, it seems pretty nice," Diane softly said, sitting atop the high building and looking down.

"There will be a day like that, once we achieve the Supreme," Baiyi sat beside her, somewhat wistful.

The goal is grand—peace and tranquility.

Without strong power or influence, these two words are difficult, especially against the backdrop of Xia.

If we want perpetual peace, we must surpass all Ancient Gods, so those gods dare not set foot in Xia.

And that’s Baiyi’s ultimate goal.

He loves Xia, which carries so much weight.

Actually, his goal is different from many Alchemists; he doesn’t want to study the world’s truths or explore the limits of technology.

It was just from watching the Guard Brigade’s live stream that he knew Alchemists had the most stable brick-moving job, so he chose to be an Alchemist.

By the time his memories awakened, he could no longer change Profession.

With the gods’ crisis, the Dark Side was also chosen to quickly gain maximum combat power in his Specialty.

His current goal is to achieve greatness, to shape the world into what he likes, and to live a calm life with Diane that lasts eternally.

Perhaps after experiencing much more, he will embark on a journey across All Heavens, but for now, his goal is very clear.

Become a god and then... transcend gods!

"I agree, Baiyi," Diane said calmly, "Long ago when we were still young, your intelligence and resilience attracted me. I like you, so I’m willing to be deceived by your lies."

"But you’re right, we can’t stop; the gods are approaching, and the world is constantly in crisis. We could certainly leave this world, find a corner in a Small World for the eternal peace of my dreams, but... that’s not a long-term solution."

"Once the Ancient Gods recover, the entire All Heavens will revert to the Ancient God Era."

"Worlds will collapse because of this, and we can’t escape."

"So, as long as I know your..."

Diane extended a hand, gliding across Baiyi’s neck, finally pointing to his heart, "hasn’t changed, that’s enough."

Baiyi was silent, seemingly understanding something, "Are you talking about Luoning? There’s no need for that; she’s just a child... at least in heart. She doesn’t want this; it’s a sickness...."

In this world, polygamy is normal; the strong always have more options, but Baiyi isn’t particularly enthusiastic in this regard. He values emotional resonance more than physical pleasure.

This might be an Alchemist’s consensus. Once an Alchemist left a saying in their travels: ’The Alchemist who dies for lust is the dumbest. Potions, machines, modifications all bring me equal joy, even more intense joy. Why indulge in the pleasures of another’s body?’

Even the schools teach this, and Baiyi agrees wholeheartedly.

"It’s up to you, but just this once," Diane blinked, extending both hands with a smile, "Hug me."

Baiyi leaned in, embraced her, and a spatial ripple flashed.

Until dawn rose in the sky.

Baiyi stepped out of the room, heading to the laboratory.

A slight ripple of Destiny passed by; Baiyi paused, turned his head to take a look...

Leave it to fate...

Entering the laboratory, Baiyi looked within the Demon Realm, and the Soul Crystal Core was now gone.

And Diane hadn’t started any godly business yet, so Baiyi didn’t ask her for one.

Thinking it over, Baiyi took out the Soul Lantern. Its progress had been closed off when hunting that demigod Ghost.

It seemed the god’s soul hinted that this item was about to advance.

He pondered, if it’s just a restoration of the soul, the effects of a large Soul Crystal, though not the best, should suffice...

Baiyi lowered his head and started making potions.

Mermaid Capital.

After a night, Demacia finally emerged from the Divine Secret Realm.

The demigod told him to wait in the Secret Realm, saying that after the Sea Race’s revival, he’d be rewarded.

But Demacia couldn’t wait that long; an hour after the demigod left, he started searching for the exit of the Secret Realm, but couldn’t find it.

Finally, when even the Guard Brigade couldn’t withstand it and went to sleep, he found a crack, and followed it out.

He didn’t linger at all. After the demigod appeared, the Mermaid Capital no longer had Corpse Ghosts.

He headed straightforwardly in one direction.

Demacia’s eyes were full of urgency.

He didn’t want to arrive only to find the Little Mermaid’s body buried underwater.

"Ah, how amazing, I thought I would drown, but I didn’t. Is this your ability, Summoner?"

Demacia: ...

He was somewhat unwilling to communicate with the Raven now. This guy was a chatterbox, a pure chatterbox. The initial cool aura had disappeared, and Demacia was a bit annoyed with this chatterbox.
