Given their strength, if they are not careful, they might die silently in those dangerous, remote places.

"It's alright. I hope you can all be good people in the future." Ember patted the shoulders of the four Abyss members earnestly. "Don't use slimes to block the well anymore. Unblocking the well is a hassle."

“Uh…” Yuan Shang felt that agreeing was wrong, and not agreeing was also wrong.

The responsibilities of the Order tormented it, but it soon changed its mind. For it saw Ember's fist waving before its eyes.

The Order's responsibility? What is that? Yuan Shang decisively threw it away somewhere.

"Definitely! Don't worry, boss, we'll definitely be good people from now on!" Yuan Shang said, puffing out his chest.

"Does this mean betraying the cult?" Yuan Zuo muttered to himself upon seeing this.

"Wh...what? Where did you hear that? Wasn't it about being a good person? I thought it was pretty good." Yuanxia looked shocked because it couldn't hear any hint of betrayal in its voice.

Yuanyou looked at its two companions, one blue and one purple, and couldn't help but cover its face. After thinking for a while, it said somewhat uncertainly, "This shouldn't be considered betrayal."

"You have already betrayed us." Dvalin thought to himself as he watched the Abyss Quartet from afar.

However, he didn't point it out. So what if they betrayed him? Anyway, Dvalin thought the Abyss Order couldn't possibly defeat the Embers.

"Who said you betrayed us?" Yu Jin crossed his arms and slowly coaxed, "Look, your cult has been plotting this for so long, is there any sign of it coming to fruition?"

"No." ×4. The Abyss Quartet shook their heads like rattles.

"That's right!" Yu Jin clapped his hands and said, "Do you know why?"

"Why?" the abyss mages asked curiously.

"Because there are too many parasites in your cult!" Ember waved his hand and stated a completely wrong conclusion.

However, the abyss mages listened with great interest. Within the cult, no one discussed such matters, as many were unaware of the cult's actual plans.

"It's precisely because of so many parasites that your cult's plans have been so slow!" Ember pressed on, continuing his deception:

"Look at your previous boss, he was ugly, stupid, and arrogant. How could you possibly make a good plan working with such a worm!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Yuanxia leaned closer, and the more Yu Jin spoke, the more it agreed. Yuan Huo looked down on everyone and was arrogant and conceited; it had long been fed up with him.

If Yuanxia weren't outmatched by Yuanhuo, he would have taught this guy a lesson long ago!

"Of course we'll take it down!" Yu Jin said viciously, making a gesture with his hand.

"Alright! Take it down!" Yuanxia immediately chimed in. Then he noticed that everyone's eyes were on it.

Is it always this silly?

It's just that silly.

With just a glance, Ember and Abyss completed a perfect exchange.

"Hey! Why are you all looking at me? Are you scared? It bullied us so badly, we should have taken revenge a long time ago!" Yuanxia thought that Yuanshang and the others were scared, so he kept advising them.

"No, it's just that you shouldn't leave us anymore, Yuanxia." Yuanyou looked at Yuanxia and said earnestly.

“Yes, you’ll stay by my side from now on.” Yuan Zuo nodded. It thought it was stupid enough, but it didn’t expect Yuan Xia to be even stupider.

"Good! Very impressive!" Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction, greatly admiring Yuan Xia's spirit of daring to resist.

"Bye-bye, see you in a couple of days." Then Ember said goodbye to everyone and walked out of the secret realm.

He still needs to keep an eye on Lance Sanx.

"Goodbye... goodbye." Yuan Shang and the others stared at Yu Jin's departing figure, somewhat bewildered. Yu Jin's thoughts had jumped too quickly. Just a moment ago he was praising Lei Fa, and the next second he was saying goodbye and leaving.

After Yu Jin left, Yuan Shang and the others also left the secret realm. However, when they came out, they could no longer see Yu Jin.

"Are we really going to do what he said?" Yuan You asked Yuan Shang with concern as he approached him.

They are caught between the Order and the Embers, and neither can refuse them.

Yuan Shang did not answer Yuan You's question; instead, it picked up the book that Yu Jin had given it.

As the papers fluttered, they were filled with profound and obscure theories and mysterious and powerful spells.

But soon, its hands stopped turning the pages. It looked at the illustrations in the book, which depicted a scene of humans confronting a dragon.

The illustrations are exactly the same as those in Dvarin's original masterpiece. Equally grand, equally breathtaking, and equally captivating.

When did he find out? This question popped into Yuan Shang's mind.

Had it been lurking nearby since then? Yuan Shang thought it impossible. It suddenly recalled that scene of time flowing backward, and a suffocating feeling washed over it.

"Phew—" Yuan Shang closed the book, then nodded and said, "Do it! Why wouldn't we do it? I've been fed up with it for a long time! You want to kill me? Let's see who kills whom!"

Yuan Shang recalled the scene of Yuan Huo sending him to his death, and felt extremely angry. Since that guy didn't value his life, then he shouldn't blame it.

……

A deafening roar of air currents echoed from high above, causing pedestrians on the ground to look up at the sky.

Unfortunately, there was nothing in the sky except for a clear blue and white expanse.

If someone could break through the limits of their eyesight, they would see a moving white dot high in the sky.

That was Lance Sanx in flight.

"I'm exhausted! I'm exhausted!" Lance Sanx kept complaining about being tired as he flew.

As for why? Well, it's because Lance Sanx was carrying a lot of stones of all sizes on his back.

She's been busy with this for days. To avoid being discovered, she keeps changing locations to dig for stones, which has made her dragon claws rough.

Lance Sanx looked down and saw the ruins below. He flew down as if granted a pardon.

From afar, Lance Sanx spotted the embers in the ruins and immediately moved closer.

"Here, these are the stones I found." As Lance Sanx spoke, he put down a huge amount of stones.

Including what she had brought before, the area around the ruins was now densely packed with all sorts of stones.

“This place is quite spacious, Your Majesty. How did you find it?” Lance Sanks squatted on the ground in her dragon form, looking at the ruins before her with admiration.

This place is open and spacious, even a dragon can move freely here. She was originally worried that she might not be able to move freely when sparring with Dvalin, but now it seems that as long as it is reinforced, it will be a good arena.

"Do you know how this place became ruins?" Ember glanced around and said with a touch of emotion.

"How did it become like that?"

"It was me and the Wind Demon Dragon who did it," Ember said, picking up a huge stone brick and running into the distance.

The renovation project of the Thousand Winds Temple is launched!

Chapter 164 A Reminder from the Abyss

2023-09-11

As the new day dawned, sunlight once again shone on Alex's desk.

The light was neither dazzling nor dim; it was just right to wake Alex from his sleep.

"Hmm..." Alex woke up from his drowsy state in bed.

After a quick wash, he began his new day.

Familiar machinery, familiar streets, and familiar people. Alex glanced around briefly, then turned and headed towards his machine factory.

Alex had walked this road countless times; he knew it like the back of his hand. Opening the tightly closed gates, everything inside the factory remained perfectly orderly.

Everything here exists for him; he can fully display his talents here.

Alex walked to his desk and eagerly pulled out a document. It contained Catherine's data—data that Ember had collected and given to him.

Alex was quite invested in his first "masterpiece." He took out a notebook and kept writing something down while looking at the data.

These are all improvement plans in Alex's mind, but for now he's just noting down the general direction and will elaborate on the details later when he has more free time.

The rustling sound of paper and pen rubbing together continued for quite some time, and if nothing unexpected happened, this faint sound should have continued until noon.

"Knock knock knock!" Suddenly, a loud and rhythmic knocking sound came from outside the factory gate.

Alex put down his pen and looked up in surprise. Clearly, he hadn't expected anyone to find him at this time.

"Please come in," Alex said casually to the person beside him, and then the doors of the machine factory opened automatically.

Alex looked towards the door and saw a woman standing there stiffly.

The woman had somewhat emerald green eyes and wore a wide purple robe. Her long, flaxen hair was styled in an updo, and the glasses she wore gave her an air of competence and intelligence.

"A rare guest indeed. I didn't expect someone from the Alchemy Academy to come here." Alex raised an eyebrow, judging from the visitor's attire that he was clearly an alchemist.

And the alchemists of Kyria all come from the Alchemy Academy. However, alchemists and mechanical engineers have never gotten along, so what does this unfamiliar alchemist want with him?

The visitor didn't answer Alex's question. She walked into the factory and looked around. Then her gaze was drawn to the enormous Trillion-Year Eternal Dragon Beast in the center.

"Did you create this?" The unfamiliar alchemist looked at the enormous mechanical dragon with interest and asked casually.

Alex sensed something was amiss. He sat down again and continued writing.

"Shouldn't you let people know who you are before you ask a question, ma'am?"

“Bayetta. Black Soil Alchemist from the Alchemy Academy.” Bayeta nodded slightly to Alex and walked to his side.

Alex looked at Bayeta with some surprise upon hearing this; she appeared to be only thirty years old. If she hadn't used any alchemy to extend her lifespan, reaching the Black Soil level at such a young age was undeniably a testament to her exceptional talent.

"Why are you coming to me instead of creating new life? Do you think the underground ecosystem is diverse enough?" Alex asked without even looking up, not paying much attention to Bajetta's achievements.

One of the major responsibilities of alchemists in Kanria is to oversee the expansion of the underground ecosystem.

Kyria, built underground, started with nothing, but human creativity is limitless.

If there is no sun, then create your own; if there is no life, then create life! This is one of the reasons why the alchemy of Kanria is so different from that of the seven kingdoms on earth.

“Creating new life?” Bayeta looked up, her gaze passing through the crisscrossing pipes of the factory ceiling and into the distance.

“But what’s the point?” Bayeta chuckled self-deprecatingly, seemingly dismissing the idea of ​​“creating life.”

Upon hearing this, Alex paused, his hand, which had been writing rapidly, and then shook his head, saying, "That's not how it works."

"Actually, I still envy you alchemists. The transformation and creation of life are all in your hands."

As he spoke, he took out an exquisite doll from the drawer. Winding it up, the doll came to life.

"Unlike us, creating purely mechanical life is like a pearl on a mountaintop for us mechanical engineers, dazzling yet unattainable."

Alex patted the puppet, and it instantly froze, having been moving. He put the puppet away again and resumed his work as if no one else was around.
