Chapter 667: Chapter 208 Satisfaction Gold_1

Is purity useful?

It is very useful.

Gold of high purity indeed possesses the power of "purification," and the higher the purity, the stronger its purification ability becomes.

Just as high-purity gold ground into powder and mixed into gold paint made from palm oil and fine medicine can be used to dispel impurities—should the purity of gold reach a certain threshold, it can indeed be used to reduce the erosion of the soul.

Even Mr. Radiance has a special ritual for using gold to eliminate erosion.

It is a high-tier ritual in the field of "purification."

—In principle, this approach can certainly work. If there were almighty and invincible pure gold, then in theory, it could be traded for a purification power even purer than that of Mr. Radiance.

But that is only "in theory."

The problem lies in how to obtain such a fantastical thing?

"Gold with a purity exceeding one hundred percent... How could such a thing exist?"

Annan subconsciously retorted, "Even the legendary ’Pure Gold’ cannot be used to reverse the path of corruption."

Are they dreaming?

Do they intend to make the gold jump up and shout, "I have reached sempiternity"?

With current technology, it is absolutely impossible to obtain real pure gold through mere technology—because gold at 100% purity must be obtained through the "Philosopher’s Stone."

That is why another term for the Philosopher’s Stone is "touchstone."

And all the Philosopher’s Stones in the world have already been used up.

This incomparably precious "Pure Gold" must be stored through complex methods. It is the most valuable ritual object in the field of "purification" and can be used to conduct the highest level of purification rituals. With it, one can borrow purification power that is on the same level as the True God.

Today, only two pieces of Pure Gold exist, both stored in the grand cathedral of Mr. Radiance.

Yet even Pure Gold of such caliber cannot be used to reverse the path of corruption—it can completely purify a Transcendent with 99% erosion, but once erosion reaches 100% and demonization occurs, it is absolutely impossible to revert.

Just as spilled water can be caught with another cup or poured back—because that is still a "process." But if water has been poured into the mud, it is not possible to simply use another cup to "retrieve" it.

For its essence has undergone a change.

When the corrupted from the Bronze Tier choose the path of corruption, they have already turned their backs and fled. Before their erosion reached 100%, they had already begun the process of demonization.

They did not pour water into the mud, but from the very beginning, they mixed mud into the water.

Simply pouring the muddy water into another cup and back again would not make it revert to clean water.

Because their essence has been altered. This is not something the realm of "purification" can accomplish.

—This was the great feat that only the "now deceased god" could achieve. But since He has died, the truth He held has crumbled and vanished from the world, irreversible.

This is the reason for the birth of demons and the fundamental cause for the irreversibility of the path of corruption.

To retrieve a fallen soul with "Gold," it would be necessary to obtain purification power that surpasses Mr. Radiance.

Using "Utmost Pure Gold" can trade for Mr. Radiance’s complete power; therefore, following this logic, if the "quality" used for trading were further improved, the power obtained could indeed become further purified.

But the problem is, how could an element with a purity exceeding one hundred percent exist? Let alone surpassing a hundred percent purity, even if they could mass-produce "Pure Gold," they could obtain Mr. Radiance’s power... allowing The Holy Nation to intervene directly and interfere with the Winter Duchy is not an impossible task either.

Why go around in such a big circle?

"No, they cannot produce Pure Gold precisely because it is something that truly requires technology to achieve,"

Longjing Tea contradicted, "And according to the documents, the North Brothers Society seems to have devised a plan and even created a prototype. They have named this gold ’Satiety Gold’."

"Satiety Gold..."

Annan repeated.

His perception suddenly caught something.

From that name, Annan vaguely sensed an ominous feeling.

"... Tell me more."

Annan fell silent for a moment, then added, "Is there any other information about this ’Satiety Gold’?"

"It is precisely because of their introduction that I thought this thing could be made, that I have solemnly reported it to Your Highness,"

Longjing Tea earnestly said, "I believe they truly can succeed."

"This matter relates to something else... Do you know of something called ’curse energy’?"

"—The Blood of the World. The imperfect power of creation. A limited ’ability to make wishes come true’. Or it could also be called ’currency to exchange all things’."

Annan slowly replied, "I am indeed aware of it, and I know that the Brotherhood of the Far North is trying to master it."

"... But even if they obtained the curse energy, they should be unable to create such a thing."

Simply put, curse energy is the ’Holy Grail’."

It is the ability to bypass ’ingredients’ and ’process,’ directly obtaining the ’result’."

In Annan’s view, if used properly, this thing could indeed be considered a resource of interstellar value... and yet the elves wasting it on building grand mega-cities, prolonging lifespans, and producing entertainment products was undoubtedly an immense waste.

But it is merely a ’bypass’, not the ultimate power of wish-fulfillment.

If both the starting point and the journey are nonexistent, then naturally, one cannot reach the end.

In other words,

To create something with curse energy, the creator must know what ingredients are needed and how they should be processed.

"So, what does the Brotherhood of the Far North want to do?"

"They are trying to use the Curse Cellar, this Wedge of the World, to fix multiple worlds together... like the Dream World, for instance,"

Longjing Tea said gravely, "First, create a Curse Cellar, then induce a Curse Cellar to appear in someone’s nightmare—at the same place, prepare a piece of Utmost Pure Gold in reality, and have the same piece of gold appear in the same location in the nightmare."

"Then, use ’curse energy’ to elevate this nightmare to an ’Otherworld Tier’ nightmare—this is indeed possible to achieve, as long as the Twisted Tier nightmare devours enough Transcendent souls, it could possibly turn itself into an Otherworld."

"Then the Curse Cellar would become a ’real World Wedge,’ and everything within the nightmare would become reality. It is simultaneously nailed to two worlds, turning them into two sheets of paper that overlap and are nailed together."

"If there are more than three Curse Cellars, then it is possible to totally determine the location of this man-made ’nightmare world.’ The predominant feature of an Otherworld Tier nightmare is that it can truly materialize in other worlds—just as those beings from other dimensions do."

Having said this, Longjing Tea paused briefly, then continued with an unchanged expression: "So, as long as the nightmare is destroyed through the power of the Curse Cellar, the gold could potentially fall into the real world."

Longjing Tea slowly continued: In that case, there is a possibility—just a mere possibility.

"Because the coordinates and essences are absolutely identical, the gold in these two worlds could possibly stack together. Then, it would become a piece of gold with the mass and volume of ’one piece of gold,’ but it is indeed ’two pieces of gold’... also known as the ’Satiated Gold.’ The gold that has devoured its other self.

"If this possibility becomes reality, it won’t be just as simple as ’reversing the path of corruption.’

"... This means, the fallen ones would directly reach the same rank as Transcendents, or even further."

Annan said in a deep voice.

Unlike the ’upward’ path of Sublimation, which demands talent, the ’downward’ path of Corruption requires only time, and a demonization can eventually be completed.

Yet through this method, what manifests will obviously be more than just a piece of gold—even if a nightmare can only be used once this way, they could obtain ’a batch’ of Satiated Gold.

This means, if everything goes smoothly, they could even purify all the demons in the world—turning them into Transcendents of the same rank.

"This is simply ludicrous!"

Annan couldn’t comprehend where these people got the audacity from.

All of this is just conjecture?

There isn’t the slightest bit of evidence!

If curse energy were actually drawn away, then the world itself would begin to weaken gradually. Even if they think nothing of a posthumous world flooded with disasters, completely ignoring this point...

Even if the overlap of coordinates and identities brings about ’mutual stacking’ and not ’mutual destruction’...

What falls from that ’nightmare world’ may not only be gold, right?

How can they ensure that they will never appear in the nightmare? Will their Curse Cellar turn into an Otherworld? If the Curse Cellar in this world is destroyed first, would a breach to that ’temporary artificial world’ appear in this one? Could other ’stacked’ materials also come into existence?

Going to such lengths, could they be aiming for merely a large number of Gold Tier soldiers?

But if so... why not just wish for it with curse energy?

Although Annan now knew what they were doing, he felt even more puzzled.
