Book 6: Chapter 69:2: Have You Ever Heard of the Philosopher’s Stone? Part 2

Root always had high expectations for Chen Heng because you never knew what kind of crazy ideas he would come up with. For instance, making a new world consciousness call him Papa

Wanna know? Im not telling you.

Since youre so curious, how about a guessing game with prizes? Each person gets one chance. Chen Heng extended a finger toward the three in front of him.

Just one chance? There are so many things in the Dimension Administrators Associations store; one chance isnt enough, Root objected.

You can guess or not; its up to you. If you dont guess, Ill start, and once I start, there wont be any rewards if you guess correctly later.

Elder Brother, give us a hint, Sirin urged with a hint of seduction, trying to coax information out of him.New novel chapters are published on

No use. You have ten seconds, or rather, ten, nine, eight Chen Heng began counting down without succumbing to Sirins ploy.

Well, I guess its a Pok Ball, Root suggested. She figured that Chen Heng had been using Pok Balls to solve problems quite often recently, to ridiculous effect, and although the odds of using a Pok Ball to capture the All the Worlds Evils werent high, it was still a better guess than nothing.

Ill go with Pok Ball, too, Sirin said, thinking her elder brothers antics could lead him to try using a Pok Ball to capture the All the Worlds Evils.

What about you, Little Li? Chen Heng turned to the only person who hadnt hazarded a guess.

A Philosophers Stone.

[TL note: The Philosophers Stone is a powerful transmutation amplifier. One of the known ways of creating a Philosophers Stone is by sacrificing human lives. It gives the illusion of making ones alchemy abilities stronger or being able to ignore equivalent exchange, but that is not true, as the price is the consumption of the Philosophers Stone. The Philosophers Stone does not last forever and can get used up. Here is more information about it: /wiki/Philosopher%27s_Stone.]

Only if a small fragment were left might that be viable.

The second option was to take the Holy Grail and find Aqua. Despite Aquas somewhat lacking intelligence and luck, her status as a goddess of water was undeniable. She was skilled in purification.

However, this method had its downsides. First, Chen Heng wasnt well-acquainted with Aqua. Second, there was no guarantee that Aqua could purify the All the Worlds Evils contained within the Holy Grail, which was a reservoir of the wicked thoughts of 6,000,000,000 people. Aquas previous performances didnt inspire much confidence.

The third option was for Chen Heng to trigger his necklaces life-saving sword strike. The advantage of this method was that it would ensure the destruction of the black mud. However, Chen Heng was afraid that he might accidentally destroy the Holy Grail itself. Moreover, this life-saving sword strike could only be used three times in total, even though it would regenerate in a month. Squandering it on a whim was not an option.

Chen Heng had been wrestling with the question of how to deal with the All the Worlds Evils until he became an alchemist. It was while searching for information on alchemists in the Dimension Administrators Associations cultural section that he stumbled upon an anime called Fullmetal Alchemist.

Initially, when Chen Heng started researching alchemists, he hoped to find similar abilities in the vast multidimensions that might inspire him. After all, the multidimensions were full of incredibly imaginative geniuses.

The first result he found was Fullmetal Alchemist. A brief look at the synopsis revealed something interestingthe Philosophers Stone.

The Philosophers Stone, in that world, was a red stone created through the alchemical processing of living human souls in a transmutation circle. It required a large number of human sacrifices and contained the hatred, enmity, and anger that erupted at the moment of death.

Chen Heng believed that in some sense, the All the Worlds Evils could also be used to create a Philosophers Stone. Souls? Since the Holy Grail could achieve the Third Magicmaterialization of soulsthe All the Worlds Evils should have a similar nature to souls.

[TL Note: The Third Magic is a magic that prevents the dispersion of souls once they leave the physical body, losing their anchor. This allows for the souls to transform into a higher form of existence, attaining true immortality and an unlimited source of Magical Energy (mana is a type of Magical Energy). /wiki/Third_Magic.]

Hatred, enmity, and anger? Werent these synonymous with the All the Worlds Evils?

With a mindset of just giving it a try, Chen Heng tried searching for the option to exchange for a Philosophers Stone in the Dimension Administrators Associations store, using the stores intelligent scanning function. Then the following exchange option appeared:

1. Exchange for one Philosophers Stone with 10,000 points.

Chen Heng felt this choice was not viable. It would be a huge loss! After all, even though the Philosophers Stone had a wide range of uses and was incredibly versatile, wasnt it more sensible to use those points to purchase items directly from the Dimension Administrators Associations store? Furthermore, items bought from the store came with quality assurance and after-sales service, as for the Philosophers Stone
