Chapter 1069 Someone's Ascending

Ten times.

Lith failed a total of ten times to make the [Soul Cleanser] pill.

At the eleventh time when he succeeded, he couldn't celebrate or rejoice as Lizbeth was close to finishing her [Smooth Foot] pill.

It was over for Lith from the get go if Lizbeth took things seriously, but with her doing things at her pace, he got a chance to learn, adapt, and master some of the basics of alchemy.

"Huff… huff…"

Lith breathed heavily as he sat on the ground with four pills in his hands.

Lizbeth walked over to him with a shiny silver pill and crouched down to be at Lith's level.

Her gaze fell on the four pills in his hands and sniffing them, she said, "I can't believe you could make something so potent in such a short time. That too four of them."

Initially, Lizbeth did not believe that her God was good at alchemy like her. It was fine to not excel in all fields, but he proved to her that he could do anything if he wanted to.

Lizbeth felt ashamed of her past self for doubting her God. Her faith in Lith had amplified and was at levels he couldn't even imagine.

"Ahem," Fei cleared her throat as she stood beside Lizbeth. "Master did not cheat."

"I can vouch for that," Meryl added.

Lizbeth nodded her head. "I know."

There was a strong stretch of burnt herbs coming from Lith along with pleasant ones. This could not be achieved without doing alchemy. There was also the fact that her God would not stoop so low to cheat.

Lith took a deep breath and corrected his breathing. Having calmed down, he looked at Lizbeth and showed her the four pills in his hands.

"Here, have a look."

Liz took the pills and analyzed them. Her eyebrows flickered with interest immediately as she felt the potency of the pills.

Lith smiled as a sense of accomplishment flooded over him. Getting up and dusting his hands, he said, "Master it is from here onwards."

Lizbeth turned her gaze up and stared at Lith for a few seconds.

This man… he went through this whole trouble because he didn't want to be called God.

Lizbeth wondered why he was so bent on not being called that, but with how much effort he had put in to appease her, her heart was moved.

Lizbeth kneeled in front of Lith and put her palm on her chest. "I'll accept God as my master from here onwards."

Lith blinked in befuddlement. He didn't expect Liz to suddenly kneel like that.

"However," Liz looked up at Lith. "Whenever I challenge God for an alchemy battle, God has to answer it. If I win, God won't be my master anymore."

Lizbeth was aware that Lith wasn't a true alchemy master. He wasn't proficient in it and did everything on a whim.

Lizbeth wasn't against this, and she was fine to call him Master as long as his skills were better than hers, and that he could add value to her life.

Lith found the clause fair and nodded his head. "I accept."

Lizbeth smiled brightly and bowed.

"Lizbeth pays her respect to Master."

…..

On the rooftop of the castle, as Lith reminisced the memories of taking Liz as his disciple, he couldn't help but sigh in exhaustion.

He had to raise his level in alchemy otherwise he would be beaten by Lizbeth. If this happened quickly, it would be quite embarrassing.

It wasn't about being called God or not anymore, but about face. He couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Apart from her, there were Hyunsuk and Shi too.

Unknowingly, Lith had taken three disciples who looked up to him.

He had to hone his skills and work hard otherwise he would fail as a Master.

The other important thing he had to take note of was that he needed to learn how to teach. He had to provide Hyunsuk, Shi, and Lizbeth with appropriate knowledge and raise them.

These three had enormous potential and could become great entities in future that would be capable of destroying worlds without even lifting their fingers.

It didn't hit him until now, but this feeling of raising powerful disciples wasn't so bad.

From saving children to raising disciples to fighting the Evure God Clan, Lith was starting to have ambitions in life. A long term goal he looked forward to achieving.

Previously he lived a carefree life without much thought. If one had to compare this feeling, it was similar to the state of mind one was in during the gap between graduating college and starting a job. There's no stress or any workload for a certain period of time. One is fully free to do whatever they want.

certain period of time. One is fully free to do whatever they want.

Taking a sip of tea, Lith looked at the ones sitting around the round table.

Lizbeth was reading and taking notes, studying about flames used in alchemy.

Fei was doing some work on her tablet while rubbing an orange cat's underbelly who was lazily resting on her lap.

Such moments of peace and quiet was what Lith enjoyed the most.

After finishing half a cup of tea, Lith took out his tablet and began working.

Lately, he was feeling a sense of crisis. It probably had to do with the Evure God Clan.

He wasn't ready to take on such a big clan yet. Even the world wasn't ready to take such a head-on challenge.

Sighing, Lith looked at his tablet and thought, 'I need to wind up the world war quickly. I have to venture outside soon.'

On the tablet, Lith was looking at scenes from around the world.

Taking out another tablet and tapping on them a few times, he saw scenes of gates. There were a variety of different colored gates that led to other worlds on the screen.

From these gates, creatures that did not belong to this world were coming out one after another. The energy they were emitting could be felt by Lith through the tablet screen.

The tablets were made through special materials that allowed for such a thing to take place. It was exclusive to the Royal Clan.

Lith spent the next half an hour staring at the two tablets in his hands. While he was absorbed in it, the sky suddenly turned crimson and thundered.

Lith, Liz, Fei, and Meryl all looked up to see the anomaly.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Suddenly, red drops of rain fell down from the sky. It was as if the clouds were crying blood.

"Hm?" Lith tilted his head and wondered what was the cause for such a strange occurrence.

It didn't take him long to find an answer once he felt multiple strange fluctuations of elemental energies in the surroundings.

Meryl jumped from Fei's lap into another seat and appeared in her real form.

She looked at the sky and said, "Someone's ascending…"
