Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

"Quite a good haul, a lot of spiritual materials, and a huge amount of divine crystals..."

Sylvus quickly examined all the storage rings.

Inside were plenty of cultivation resources, and just the divine crystals alone amounted to over thirty million.

"Not bad, this much cultivation resource should be enough for me now."

Sylvus smiled slightly. The pills from his shop were no longer sufficient for his cultivation needs, but fortunately, he had obtained quite a bit of resources.

Next, Sylvus began to review the divine abilities he had obtained this time.

But after only a short while, he gave up.

"More than a thousand divine abilities? How long will it take to go through all of this?"

Sylvus shook his head helplessly.

He realized that having too many divine abilities wasn't necessarily a good thing—just reviewing them was incredibly time-consuming.

It took him a full two hours to go through all the abilities.

Although all of them were divine-level abilities, some of them were rather impractical, useful only in specific situations.

"Never mind, I'll deal with the divine abilities when I need them; for now, let's start cultivating."

With that in mind, Sylvus took out a fruit and ate it to increase his cultivation level.

For the next few days, he decided to stay here without leaving, planning to ambush at the gate when the time was right.

While Sylvus was focused on cultivation inside the cave, the divine realm was anything but peaceful.

Though Giant Spirit Peak had lost its value, there were still many treasures throughout the divine realm, and each day, people either died or became stronger.

Time flew by, and soon it was the seventh day.

This day, Sylvus's divine energy surged violently within his body.

The surrounding divine power rushed into his body, and before long, he successfully broke through to a new level.

"I finally broke through, but the speed is still too slow. Only two small stages?"

Sylvus opened his eyes, looking dissatisfied.

This pace was far too slow compared to when he used pills.

He would have to wait for the system update to see if the quality of the pills would improve.

"Today is the final day of the divine realm's opening—it's time to go reap the rewards."

After tidying up a bit, Sylvus flew towards the exit.

Before long, he arrived at the divine realm's exit, where quite a few people were already waiting, each of them warily watching their surroundings.

Although the divine realm was coming to an end, they all knew that the danger was far from over; in fact, this was the most dangerous time.

Sylvus's arrival didn't attract much attention, and he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

This time, tens of thousands of people had entered the divine realm, but there were only a few hundred here.

He didn't believe that the rest had all died.

Moreover, the divine realm exit had yet to open—he would only strike when everyone gathered, to maximize his gains.

As time passed, more and more people arrived at the gate.

Sylvus even noticed someone familiar—Lancelot, whom he had previously met at Giant Spirit Peak.

Lancelot also saw Sylvus and, after a moment of hesitation, walked over to him.

"Were you the one responsible for what happened at Giant Spirit Peak?"

Upon reaching Sylvus, Lancelot asked directly.

Sylvus glanced at him with a hint of playfulness.

"What? Are you looking for revenge?"

Lancelot frowned—so it really was him.

He hadn't expected Sylvus's methods to be so powerful, and he had never heard of someone like this before.

"Their deaths have nothing to do with me. Besides, I know what you're planning to do next, but I don't want to be involved."

Lancelot said seriously, looking at Sylvus.

Sylvus paused, slightly surprised by the response.

"So, you're asking me to spare you?"

Lancelot narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't want to admit it, what Sylvus said was indeed true.

He knew Sylvus's abilities, and he knew he couldn't possibly defend against him.

Since it was certain death, he had to find a way to change the situation.

"You could say that."

After a few seconds, Lancelot nodded.

Though he had a special identity, he wasn't foolish enough to try and threaten Sylvus.

After all, there were people of similar status to him in the divine realm, like the Beastman prince.

Sylvus hadn't spared them, which meant that Sylvus didn't care about such things.

Sylvus looked at Lancelot with interest. This guy was indeed amusing, even going so far as to ask him for mercy.

"What's your relationship with Horas?"

Sylvus asked next.

Lancelot looked at Sylvus, surprised.

"You know my master?"

Horas was indeed his master, and he had been the one who sent Lancelot into the divine realm this time.

Moreover, he was tasked with reaching the top of Giant Spirit Peak.

Although Lancelot had climbed the peak, he hadn't gained anything worthwhile from it, and instead had seen thousands of bodies.

Still, his master was a Deity Emperor, so how did this person know his master?

Upon hearing Lancelot's response, Sylvus nodded in realization.

No wonder he had sensed a familiar aura on Lancelot—so they were master and disciple.

"When you return, pass on a message to your master: don't forget his promise to me."

Sylvus waved his hand as he spoke.

Lancelot frowned. From Sylvus's words, it seemed like his master owed Sylvus something.

Although he didn't understand the relationship between his master and Sylvus, he knew that he had just saved his own life.

As for the rest, he could only ask his master personally after leaving the divine realm.

As the two were talking, a booming sound echoed, drawing everyone's attention to the gate.

The gate was slowly opening.

"Look, the gate is opening! We can finally leave—I've gotten quite a lot this time."

"Shut up. The danger isn't over yet—the real divine realm trial starts now."

"When we leave, we should leave quickly. If we get ambushed on the way out, we're finished."

As the gate opened, many people started talking.

Sylvus stretched lazily, knowing that his time to collect had arrived.

With that in mind, he glanced at Lancelot.

"If you don't want to die, leave as soon as the gate fully opens."

With that said, Sylvus disappeared.

Lancelot took a deep breath and couldn't help but look around at the people gathered.

He knew that soon a great melee would erupt here.

Of the many who had entered, few would make it out alive.

At that moment, Sylvus moved to the front of the crowd.

Looking behind him, he saw that there were already more than twenty thousand people gathered, with more flying over constantly.

At that moment, the gate fully opened, and everyone unleashed their divine power, rushing out of the gate as quickly as possible.

"Rage of Chaos!"

With a faint smile, Sylvus, standing at the very front, let his eyes flash with blood-red light as he cast his Rage of Chaos.
