Chapter 484 - 289: The Reason Behind the Failure (Double-Length)
Luther’s face was bitter as he narrated to Rogel the history of the alchemist profession and its fate in the Sea of Confession.
But before that, Luther also explained to Rogel a key point he intended to inquire about next—"era".
The eras of the world of the Mysterious Sea.
Before the Church’s influence touched the Sea of Confession, the extraordinaries called this period the [Chaos Era].
The [Chaos Era], as the name suggests, was an era defined by chaos.
The records left by the extraordinaries about this era are filled with fear and unease.
During this period, the Mist borders often shifted and transformed, changing the entire world’s structure continuously.
Numerous monsters, horrors, and unknowns unveiled themselves in the chaos, creating calamities.
All extraordinary races, the Church, and kingdoms were affected, with relentless natural disasters, wars, and succession changes...
The community of extraordinaries benefited from this era because their residing Sea of Confession was relatively peaceful.
But they were also victims of this era, because the peace of the Sea of Confession attracted the Church; some of them turned their attention towards the Sea of Confession, leading to its current fate...
Before the [Chaos Era] was the sparsely documented [Dynasty Era].
That was a radiant yet obscure era.
The extraordinary l group was born from there.
The most notable feature of the [Dynasty Era] was the flourishing dynasties in various regions.
The world at that time was like a blooming garden, great empires and renowned powerful figures emerged during that time.
The "Church" was just starting to sprout then; more were the "Faithful Creatures" such as "spirits" and "totems", while the actual powers controlling the world were the extraordinary races in each region.
But afterwards, due to the Mist border’s anomalies, the [Dynasty Era] also came to a close, paving the way for the [Chaos Era] to continue and begin a new cycle...
Even earlier than this, there was an even older era—the [Abyssal Sea Era].
Unfortunately, neither the extraordinaries nor the Church knew much about it.
Perhaps there are records of it in the flourishing dynasties like stars.
But as time passed, the erosion of years caused the distant past to sink into the mysterious sea along with the downfall of the dynasties, leaving it untold...
In the once vast community of extraordinaries, numerous brilliant works were born, naturally including exploration of the world and salvaging history.
Unfortunately, the community of extraordinaries was merely a fleeting meteor in the vast tide of the era, eventually leading to today’s end...
And the reason for all this lies in weakness.
At this point, Luther involuntarily shared another very important piece of information with Rogel.
That is—human bodies cannot bear the Tier Power of ’gods’!
Throughout the community of extraordinaries’ development, countless pioneers and warriors have tried to break this constraint but have all failed, some perishing instantly, some degenerating into monsters...
With such cautionary tales, there were naturally fewer latecomers.
This has undoubtedly determined the upper limit of the human race.
Therefore, regardless of how much the extraordinaries researched and progressed, they were unable to advance further, achieving that supreme... "god".
Unless a new path was taken.
But in that case, it’s another road altogether.
So Luther did not elaborate further but shifted the conversation.
"...However, Mr. Rogel, I must tell you that the extraordinary magic potion, this important path, may not have begun in the Chaos Era."
Luther looked gravely at Rogel.
"The extraordinary magic potion is merely a relatively suitable path discovered by the extraordinaries through countless attempts over a long period."
"Though the extraordinary magic potion path is now halted at the Angel Tier, it is merely the ceiling of the extraordinary magic potion, not the actual limit of this path..."
After speaking, Luther seemed to find his explanation unclear, paused, pondered, and spoke again.
"What I mean is, the concept of extraordinary magic potion does not have to stop at the angel."
"Despite the difficulty of this path, it definitely has a future!"
At this point, Luther was a bit emotional, placing both hands on the desk in front and slightly propping up his body.
"Back when I was at Purple Agate Academy, I once read an ancient text in the library, though I don’t know who left it, I clearly remember the records in it!"
"Once, a pioneer entered the Mist border, accidentally entered a mysterious territory, and saw some mysterious murals in the giant sea-rift cave there!"
"It depicted a legendary human, who through a secret technique merged Divine Blood and eventually became the supreme ruler of all people within his tribe, possessing power comparable to gods!"
"So... maybe we’ve just taken the wrong path!"
By this point, Luther’s expression was extremely excited.
Beside him, Gaisinya noticed and tugged at him.
Luther then came to his senses, took a breath, sat down, and apologized to Rogel.
"... I apologize, Captain Rogel, I was out of line."
"It’s nothing."
Rogel shook his head, but his eyes still flashed with thought.
After a long time, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows, still finding it hard to believe.
