Chapter 154 Alchemy And Runes
Cyrus was left astounded after reading the function and restriction of the Dimension Gate and how his infinite growth type dimension has special authority over those rules.
Cyrus then asked the system another important question, "System, do these rules also apply to the other dimensions with temples?"
"[Yes. The Law of Dimensions applies to any and all growth-type dimensions, and those laws would be more and more strict as the dimension rank increases. But those laws have little effect over an Infinite Growth Origin Dimension. You\'ll find more about the Law of Dimensions as you increase your dimension ranks.]"
Cyrus nodded in understanding as he had a massive advantage now because he just confirmed that the other temple dimensions couldn\'t enter the Regal World as long as they couldn\'t match the power level of the Regal World.
Then a sudden realization dawned upon him, "Could it be all those dimension temples wanted to raise the human levels to a certain rank so their own people could also enter the Regal World?"
The more Cyrus thought about it, the more it made sense because he couldn\'t think of any other motives of the dimension creatures to spread their knowledge with humans and even put restraints on them.
If they really had such a motive, then it would finally make sense why they were giving power as well as putting restrictions on them. It was all because they could easily overpower them once the time came for the conquest.
The real war for the world was between the dimensions, not the natives, because, from start to finish, those natives were never worth a threat to them but only a key to unlocking the gates of hell.
Once they entered the world, they could easily destroy the other temple dimension gates. Cyrus was pretty sure those humans had no idea these temple dimension gates could be destroyed simply by overpowering them.
He was even willing to wager that those temples took in those families as overseers and let them build those massive cities around their gates because they wanted them to protect those gates from being sabotaged by other temples.
Despite the system\'s lack of response, now it all starts to make sense to Cyrus as he knows the dimensions more and more.
As someone who had played these small schemes all his life and seen them, he could easily guess their entire plot, and once he knew what that plot was, he could use them to his own advantage.
This is what it meant to have a mind of God!
Looking at Hilda\'s performance as she used the first move of Hymn of Awakening and cut those mannequins with \'0\' on their heads, his lips curled up as he asked, "My dear, Eve, do you want to see another world?"
"Of course. Wait, what?" Eve was caught off guard as she was watching Hilda\'s clumsy performance with relish.
Cyrus merely chuckled before he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the newly built dimension gate which led to the Behemoth World.
"Wait, when did this huge gate appear?" Eve exclaimed as she was the sole person who kept an eye on the dimension and knew about everything that happened in it. So, seeing this new structure was a surprise.
Cyrus didn\'t hide anything from her about the new world their dimension was connected with and how this gate will work.
In the end, Eve exclaimed, full of adventurous spirit, "Then why are you standing here? Let\'s go and explore this new world. I had never seen a new world before. I didn\'t even know it existed."
Cyrus chuckled, "You sound like a 3-year-old. But I naturally created it so we could explore. But we can\'t just leave the dimension alone, can we?
"Although this gate won\'t allow powerful creatures to enter, I still need someone to guard this place just in case something bad happens. Especially I can\'t let anyone discover this gate yet.
"So, I\'m going to create an illusion array formation to hide it and then let someone stand on guard here until we come back."
"Ah, I didn\'t think like this. Alright, let\'s quickly make that array thingy, and then let one of those vixens guard this place!" Eve quickly shot out her verdict.
Cyrus merely shook his head and cast an illusion spell on the gate, and it vanished, and the surroundings returned to normal.
But it was just a temporary solution, so he quickly got back to the first floor, the Ruler\'s Sanctum, which was actually a lush grassland that was as soft as a feather bed, with flowing rivers from a beautiful waterfall and colorful flowers arranged very carefully.
This place was filled with the scent of nature and a soul-calming view, this was the Ruler\'s Sanctum, where Cyrus could do as he pleased, but he didn\'t change it because he liked it this way, and even Eve agreed with him.
Any sort of building would taint this place, and Cyrus was planning to make it a real paradise once he started to have a large supply of materials, just like his old home.
Anyhow, reappeared in the middle of the grass field where were hills of all sorts of herbs and ores, while the most eye-catching thing was the small pile of gray pills, which were like marbles, and a mask lay beside the hill.
The mask was the Illusionary Void Mask, and those pills were all made with Hilda\'s pure destruction energy stored in the Mask, and he was planning on giving most of them to Hilda and distributing some to the other girls.
While the other hills were Qi materials he collected from all over the dimensions and goblins in these past months, and he was planning on using them to refine more treasures to put up for rewards.
However, he didn\'t get a proper chance because he was busy refining those Destruction Qi Pills, and there was still a small amount left in the mask unrefined. He wanted that mask to be empty because he wanted to use it as a storage space, not for Qi Bank.
If he wanted to travel in the other world, he needed to have storage space like the Void Mask so he could store anything he found there worth storing inside it, and that mask also had other useful functions.
But right now, he was back to make a simple Illusion Array Formation which will remain active as long as someone continues to supply it with Qi and will be able to last much longer than a spell.
The Array Formations in any power system were called the same, and they were the study of Runes that can be used and arranged in different formations to create powerful Instant Spell Talisman, Runic Treasures, Enchantments, and such.
Like the practitioner of Alchemy was known as Alchemist, the Rune practitioner was known as Rune Artist.
The Alchemy covered a wide variety of subjects, like pill making, potion creation, smiting, and even runes, and each discipline has its own and unlike path.
But the Runes were subject as vast as Alchemy, so that\'s why they both didn\'t speak under the same name.
However, their ranks were the same. Student, Teacher, Master, and Grandmaster were four ranked which covered the entire mortal grade of the power system of any civilization. Each rank was further divided into Initial, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.
As for Cyrus, he was at the panicle of both Alchemy and Runes. He was in a realm where he didn\'t even need the appropriate tools for refinement; Qi was the only tool he needed.
If he wasn\'t a mortal and had restrictions, he didn\'t even need materials because he could simply conjure another out of thin air, anything under the rank of God!
But unfortunately, he can\'t and will not be able to do it for a very long time, and that\'s why he was forced to collect materials.
But all these materials were only of Bronze Grade, and he only found eight Silver Grade materials, so he was also planning on searching for precious seeds on this trip and start framing those herbs in the dimension.
The environment of his dimension was excellent to nurture even Dark Silver Grade Herbs, and the Ruler\'s Sanctum could even nurture Golden Grade Herbs.
Right now, Cyrus\'s focus is on making the array formation of at least Silver Grade so only those above the Qi Core Rank can see through it.
Without wasting more time, Cyrus, with his eyes locked on certain materials, and all of those materials started to fly toward him.
23 materials levitated in front of him before he waved his sleeve and dark fire suddenly spread over all those materials, and they started to burn at a terrifying speed.
"Yin Yang Rune Creation, condense!" Cyrus\'s eyes glow in a dark hue as he mutters, and dark Qi suddenly gushes out of his hands and starts to envelop those materials in quick succession, creating a dark glob.
The next moment, out of thin air, golden symbols started to appear in that glob one after another before vanishing into it and compressing the glob into a flag-like shape!
