Divine Emperor of Death

Davis had already blinked many times at Sophie, wondering why she kept this matter a secret but then imagined the weight she must be feeling over being able to refine and forge it into a weapon. After all, the Gensiumite Ore seemed to be a High-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Ore, which can't be refined easily by the likes of an Immortal King.

Since Sophie was at Peak-Level Immortal King Stage and had dazzling prowess, she might barely be able to handle this Gensiumite Ore, so allowing her to enter the Immortal Emperor Stage and upgrade Lancelot would be better, lest she break Lancelot and cause its soul to disperse.

"Lereza, come here."

Davis rubbed his cheeks and called out, causing a pink-veiled, black-green-haired, busty female dragon woman to manifest in front of him from nowhere.

"You called me Master?"

"Don't act like you weren't watching." Davis almost rolled his eyes, "Tell me you helped Sophie back then."

"Of course. With her cultivation level, Sophie wouldn't be able to handle the corruption from the death-attributed ore and the vitality from the life-attributed ore, so I helped her. What? Are you going to say that I hindered her cultivation?"

"No, thank you very much." Davis waved his hand, causing Lereza to blink.

"I hope you will continue to protect Sophie in her upcoming forge sessions. And then— how dangerous is it to refine this so-called Gensiumite Ore? And where was it obtained?"

"…"

Lereza was speechless for a moment before she opened her mouth.

"Well, you wouldn't find this ore here or anywhere else in the true immortal world, as this is an exclusive ore of the First Haven World. I don't know much about it either other than the information written in this book."

Lereza lazily waved her hand, and a book appeared, but she waved her hand again, causing it to disappear.

"You're all not allowed to view it as it was only presented to me!"

She yelled out, causing Davis to raise his hands in surrender before he pointed, "I don't care as long as Sophie is safe during the time she upgrades Lancelot, this spear. Do you think it's doable?"

"Sigh…" Lereza's lips parted as she heaved a soft breath, sitting up straight on her cloud.

"The chances are very less than what Sophie stated. After all, unlike the death-attributed ore, Dreary Grave Woe Ore, made from Immaculate Sovereign Subsuming Ore and the life-attributed ore, Vitalroot Womb Bliss Ore, which were deadly and tame but perfectly canceled out each other when mixing the refined ores together, the chaos-attributed ore, although not explosive, is extremely difficult to refine and could not be forged easily as it is difficult to mend into shape and etch runes on it."

Lereza's curled, "I mean, how is a blacksmith supposed to be able to refine a chaos ore? The very notion is ridiculous that I'd say she only has a ten percent chance of succeeding even if she entered the Immortal Emperor Stage, and when I say ten percent, I'm being optimistic."

"But I'm not kidding. I am confident I can refine it after I am able to read the Timed Drain Scroll from the new Forging Table I obtained!"

Sophie argued her case, causing Lereza to narrow her eyes at her.

"I've already read a bit of it, but I can't understand anything as it is nothing but the musings of a forgemaster."

"Well, you're not a Forgemaster and don't know runes, so don't bother studying it."

Sophie pouted as she stood her ground.

Looking at the two argue, Davis smilingly shook his head. Instead, he was suddenly interested in the Timed Drain Scroll.

"Lereza, did you see anything about a pill recipe on it?"

"Pill recipe?" Lereza shook her head, "There was only the introduction to forging and scribbles, which I couldn't understand, and considering I couldn't read it for more than half a minute before losing focus or losing consciousness in three minutes, I don't like to look at it anymore. Most likely, there is information embedded in runes, just as Sophie said. I respect this forgemaster who could secure his legacy with such secure and indecipherable runes, but I don't see how anyone can learn the art of refining chaos-attribute ores, so my opinion stays the same."

"Understood." Davis nodded, feeling joyful as the pill-making method for the realm concoction wasn't present.

Otherwise, he would've felt that it was a bit regretful.

Nevertheless, he turned to look at Sophie, "But I believe my Sophie will forge it if she says she could."

"Well, she can try, considering she could only have one or two tries for refinement before the Gensiumite Ore collapses and creates a vacuum that tears space and causes everything within its surroundings to be pulled into it, meaning certain death for Sophie."

Lereza's voice was chilling, causing Sophie to shudder.

It made Sophie remember how she only achieved a state of refinement for the life and death attributed ores only after sixteen tries, but those ores were able to bear the refinement until then.

As for the Gensiumite Ore, it might not go the same.

Davis's expression also fell, making him wonder if he was too confident in Sophie and put an unneeded burden on her to perform so she could craft this ultra-powerful chaos-attributed spear for him.

"I will forge it. If not, that's the end of my path in forging.

"You-!" Lereza pointed at Sophie, "Not even the greatest Forge Emperors or Forge Sovereigns would dare to try their hands on this ore and would keep it as a treasure that they would protect with their lives just for the sake of owning it. You're— too— arrogant!"

She emphasized her words at the end, causing Sophie to smirk.

"If my goal is to surpass these so-called Forge Emperors and reach greater heights, then I must succeed in what they would deem to be impossible."

"…"

Lereza trembled but then disappeared, appearing like she didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, but Davis sensed that she was elated and prideful as though she aided the birth of such a forge master.

Still, he understood both parties and their arguments.

The chaos ore wouldn't be an easy rock to crack, so he understood the difficulties and dangers involving it, but his Sophie was even prepared to risk it in the realm concoction, so he couldn't possibly stop her from trying at least once.

He informed Yama and Lancelot in her care to upgrade them.

The death-attribute ore, Dreary Grave Woe Ore, made from Immaculate Sovereign Subsuming Ore, and the life-attributed ore, Vitalroot Womb Bliss Ore, were all High-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Ores, so there was still room for Yama to grow,

He knew the current Sophie would be able to bring Yama to the High-Level Immortal Emperor Grade, allowing him to subdue even Peak-Level Immortal Emperors without relying on Fallen Heaven.

Nonetheless, they ignored all the treasures and began to focus on the treasures given by Saintess Lunaria and Fairy Thunderblaze, wondering what could be inside as they wondered with expectations.

Sometime later, Davis left to meet Saintess Lunaria to return the favor and also to imbue karmic virtue on Lea and Everlight.

Perhaps he could even bring back Everlight if she was ready to return!
