Chapter 384 - Chapter 384: Chapter 364: Philosophers Stone (2/2)

“It is a miracle itself.”

“It is nearly an omnipotent Wishing Stone, as long as there is a sufficient amount of the Philosopher’s Stone, anything can be done…”

The Chairman’s tone finally had a slight fluctuation, as if his emotions were also stirred up.

“Even becoming a god is not impossible!”

“However, it took me many years to finally make a small portion of the Philosopher’s Stone, and my time is running out. It’s very difficult to gather more resources to refine more of the Philosopher’s Stone.”

Byrne suddenly recalled the many fragmented souls he had once seen in the purplish-red stone and instinctively furrowed his brow slightly.

He dared not probe into the composition of the Philosopher’s Stone because the Chairman was right there, and if he analyzed it without permission, he might infuriate the Chairman on the spot.

Although Byrne’s strength was now not weak, he was very clear that he was no match for the Chairman.

That mysterious and unpredictable person was likely the most powerful being in the Eastern Four Kingdoms.

Byrne pondered for a moment and asked, “Chairman, since you already have the omnipotent Philosopher’s Stone, why do you still need my help to break through?”

The Chairman gave his answer.

“Of course, it’s a matter of conversion rate and cost-effectiveness. I could use all of the Philosopher’s Stone to complete the breakthrough, but I don’t want to do that.”

“Listen, Mithril, I can use half of the Philosopher’s Stone I currently possess to restore your lifespan and then keep the remaining half.”

Such a powerful Philosopher’s Stone was indeed a critically important and scarce resource. After listening, Byrne nodded lightly and finally asked the most crucial thing.

“So, what is my reward?”

The Chairman did not hesitate to make a promise.

“Once I become a stronger being, I can protect the Fischer family for hundreds of years to come. Although I won’t be able to enter the Eastern Four Kingdoms directly at that time, I have many ways to help you become stronger.”

“Rest assured, Fischer, I can establish The Oath with you.”

In the depths of his heart, Byrne knew clearly that the Chairman’s level of power was very likely high-level Monarch, meaning he would probably help him become a Heavenly Enlightenment powerful expert.

Without a doubt, those of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level, also known as ‘demi-gods,’ possess the power to change the world and nearly all leave their names in history.

And Extraordinary Exponents at the Monarch Level are hardly worth mentioning in front of them.

If they don’t employ the mighty power of a Forbidden rare artifact, or a similar special power, even dozens of Monarch Level experts working together would hardly be a real threat to a Heavenly Enlightenment Level legendary expert.

Protection for hundreds of years from a Heavenly Enlightenment strong expert?

Byrne fell into deep thought, and at the same time, he sniffed a hint of conspiracy in the air.

“Actually, I have a proposal.”

“Oh?”

He looked deeply at the Chairman and continued, “I hope you can give the Philosopher’s Stone to my daughter, Lilian.”

“Her life is coming to an end, and rather than extending my own life, I wish for Lilian to live on… I have lived long enough.”

He paused for a moment before adding, “For an Eternal Being with exceptional memory, living too long might just be a terrible and tragic Curse.”

Nevertheless, another thought existed in Byrne’s mind.

Perhaps the power of the Philosopher’s Stone could awaken the great Lord of the Lost?

Maybe…

The temptation from both thoughts, whether to keep his daughter Lilian alive or to awaken Him, made the transaction irresistible to Byrne!

At that moment, the Chairman suddenly laughed out loud.

“Hehe, I see, Mithril, no, Byrne Fischer… you are indeed such a person.”

“You’ve always been this way, hmm, I can agree to your request.”

Byrne was silent, not responding.

He finally understood something—why the Chairman didn’t contemplate forcing him but instead let him “take the bait” willingly because the allure of the Philosopher’s Stone was truly too great!

Byrne nodded slightly and said calmly, “Very well, Chairman, let us establish The Oath.”
