Chapter 536 Philosopher's Stone

Duran was stunned.

His deep blue eyes, like gemstones, reflected everything in the church, and his face was full of disbelief!

The statue of truth on the church had turned into fragments all over the ground. This magnificent building, which was seven or eight stories high, was now filled with countless rare metal materials, and gold covered the ground, making the whole church shine.

And the impact of all this on Duran was not as great as the mercury moon hanging high in the sky. As the ripples on the surface of the mercury spread wildly, the sphere was constantly undergoing material transformation...

Duran could feel that within half a second of a ripple spreading, at least more than 300 materials appeared out of thin air, including metals, non-metals, organics, and even composite materials that were so complex that Duran could not perceive them. At the same time, nearly a thousand substances disappeared and transformed. It was like a ball of creation that mixed everything!

"Wuji Jun?" Duran said in shock, "Wuji Jun has awakened? Doesn't that mean that Wuji Realm..."

"Don't worry, Wuji Jun's condition is more stable than you think."

Brand walked forward, knelt on one knee in front of the mercury moon, lowered his head, and said respectfully:

"Lord Wuji Jun, I brought him here... This is Duran, the most talented young man in the [Alchemy] path. After he joins, our efficiency may be greatly improved."

As Brand's voice fell, the mercury moon full of ripples suddenly became violently disturbed, and a huge eyeball spun out of it, as if it was made of some material similar to glass, looking down at Duran at the door indifferently.

The moment he was stared at by this eye, a sense of oppression instantly descended on Duran's heart, his brows unconsciously frowned, and his deep blue eyes were instinctively alert.

"Duran, do you know what the authority of Wuji Jun is?" Brand turned back to look at Duran.

"...What?"

Brand smiled slightly, he stood up from the ground, and spoke to the mercury ball as if praying: "Lord Wuji, please show your great power to the ignorant believers."

The next moment, strange hands extended from the mercury ball. These hands were slender and thin, with a silver metallic luster all over, like perfect works of art... But at this moment, thousands of hands extended at the same time, like dense mercury snakes swimming through the void, making people's scalps numb unconsciously.

These hands stretched out dozens of meters and grabbed things randomly in the church. Some were gravel in the corner, some were wooden chair legs, some were a handful of soil, some were water drops falling from the sky, and even a few began to grasp in the air, as if grabbing dust in the wind...

These thousands of mercury hands that took in different substances clenched at the same time, and when they opened again, the substances in their hands changed.

Berkelium (BK), fermium (F), californium (CF), helium-3 (HE-3), uranium-235, plutonium (PU)...

Countless rare elements are gently held in the hands of mercury. Some are ultra-rare elements that humans have discovered but are extremely difficult to obtain, and some are even unknown to humans. They are all transformed from countless materials that can be found everywhere...

Thousands of mercury moons hold countless rare elements, like gods holding the authority of all material materials and descending to the world.

With the casual rubbing of these palms, several materials fuse and react with each other under its control, and a fist-sized sun blooms in the center of the church. Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, which humans spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to achieve, can be achieved by it with a light rub.

The artificial sun hung high in the church. Under Duran's stunned gaze, Brand laughed loudly:

"How about it?! Isn't it ironic?"

"The peak of alchemy that we have been pursuing all our lives, the path of [alchemy] we have stepped on, and the rules of material conversion that we believe in are nothing more than toys in the hands of Lord Wuji. What a bullshit equivalent exchange! What a bullshit complicated technique! It's all bullshit!!!"

In Brand's almost crazy laughter, Duran gradually recognized the reality. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down:

"The authority of the Nine Lords is beyond cognition... But I don't understand why Wuji Lord is in this form?"

"Because Wuji Lord is undergoing a transformation." Brand said, "He is trying to create a new body, get rid of the life limit of carbon-based organisms, and pursue immortality."

"Human body transformation?" Duran was stunned for a moment, then shook his head He shook his head, "No... Human body refining is to refine a human body out of thin air. He wants to refine a body that transcends organic structure... But how is this possible? It is easy to refine a composite body that can replace human functions, but what about the spirit? Without a container to carry the spirit, even if he succeeds, he is just a walking corpse."

"Haha, Duran, you are worthy of being our most talented alchemist. You realized the key to the problem at once... However, this problem has been solved."

"How was it solved?"

"Philosopher's Stone." Brand opened his arms, "Philosopher's Stone is the only known substance that can carry the soul, and it is also the pinnacle of the [Alchemy] path... As long as enough Philosopher's Stone is refined to carry the spirit and soul of Wuji Jun, he can achieve immortality!"

Duran was stunned. After a moment, he seemed to realize something and grabbed Brand's collar with force!

"Refine the Philosopher's Stone... So, the large-scale alchemy formation that massacred two large regions was done by you?! Are you using the lives of people in the Wuji Realm to refine the Philosopher's Stone for Wuji Jun??"

"Dulan, don't be so excited." Brand said helplessly, "As long as Lord Wuji can gain eternal life, what does it matter if some civilians die?"

"But can't he create anything at will? Why not turn it into the Philosopher's Stone himself?"

"The existence of the Philosopher's Stone is too special. It is not the aggregation of some kind of substance, but the concentration of human souls... so even Lord Wuji cannot convert it now." Brand smiled, "This point , only the [Alchemy] path can do it.”

"But Mr. Wuji is a ninth-level demigod! What size of Philosopher's Stone is needed to perfectly carry his spirit and soul? Refining two large areas is not enough... Do you plan to refine the entire Wuji Realm?"

"The Wuji Realm is our base camp. If we weren't anxious to stabilize Wuji Lord, we wouldn't have taken action against those two regions... We already have other goals for refining the materials for the Philosopher's Stone."

The corners of Brand's mouth raised. He looked back at the mercury moon hanging above the church and said slowly:

"The population of that realm is enough to supply enough Philosopher's Stone to allow Lord Wuji to complete his transformation and become the only immortal being among the Nine Lords...

And the infinite realm will also be eternal. "
