Chapter 204: The Artifact Maker (Please Subscribe)

Aaron bid Clark farewell and returned to his carriage.

Seeing that the streets were under martial law again, he, knowing what had happened, couldn't be bothered to listen to the coachman's complaints and had him drive him back home.

"After I return, I can set about preparing to open the Third Primordial Substance... Fortunately, the main material is already in hand, there are no difficulties..."

Golden Rose Street.

After entering his home, Aaron saw William Mark waiting in the living room.

His expression was one of despair mixed with agitation and unease; he ignored the tea and scones Sylvia had served, simply pacing the living room in circles.

"Mr. William Mark came early this morning and has been waiting for three hours..."

Aaron comforted him.

Sylvia felt slightly more at ease and bowed, saying, "I will certainly guard the property well for you, Young Master."

"Oh, my friend..."

Aaron sighed and said to the returning Sylvia, "Sylvia, I won't be staying here for long. Have you thought about your future?"

"I obey your will."

The pure white sunlight was dazzling, vast and great, yet carried an indescribable mystery and eeriness.

"Alright... please do so as soon as possible."

With a single thought, Aaron's consciousness returned to the real world, and he opened his eyes, which were filled with pure white.

After placing Sasuluofei's remaining core of Spirituality in the center of the Ritual Array, Aaron poured in his Spirituality and activated the Ascension Ritual!

Roar!

They enveloped the crimson core, slowly and firmly melting it to form strands of pure 'Radiance' Spirituality, which flowed along invisible Mysterious channels into Aaron's body.

'It seems the factory shares have depreciated now; perhaps they were subjected to malicious price suppression?'

Boom!

In the bedroom.

His consciousness, at this very instant, seemed to arrive in the Spirit World, where he saw a pure white sun!

"Your relatives and friends are all in Green Forest City; it wouldn't be good to leave here..."

Aaron smiled and said, "Before long, I might take over a fixed asset. You can transition into a professional manager and handle it for me..."

For a wealthy man like Aaron, there would certainly be a specialized butler at his ancestral home; Sylvia dared not hope for such a thing.

William Mark's expression was slightly unnatural when he saw Aaron, appearing ashamed: "I regret not listening to your advice... that 'Eugene' is a fraud! He swindled a large sum of money from me... If I can't pay back the bank loan, I'll go bankrupt. My house, carriage, and fields will all be auctioned off... My wife and children will have to go to the slums and squeeze into public housing..."

William Mark's eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't rested for a long time. After describing the situation briefly, he sighed: "I originally thought the other party was a gentle and wise Extraordinary, but in reality... his so-called 'Witchcraft' was just a Trick!"

Aaron nodded inwardly, recalling that when he left last time, he had given each of those fellows an Evil Spirit Mark.

William Mark looked at Aaron hopefully.

He continued to listen to William Mark's grievances: "I even specifically found a middleman for the transaction, my friend Jackson, whom you also met at the gathering... but he betrayed me too! Aaron... my friend, I truly regret it so much!"

"Please trust Glamorgan Field; those swindlers won't be able to run away."

"Indeed, one must be cautious when investing..."

'Using this clue for divination, not one of them will be able to escape. Perhaps I can let Sylvia act as a concerned citizen later?'

At this moment, that endless light suddenly intensified.

In this pure white perspective, all things in the world seemed to be decomposed and dismantled to the level of the smallest particles, revealing unique laws.

"Go back!"

The naked Aaron stood up slowly and discovered that his body seemed to have undergone some kind of recasting; his physique was beautifully streamlined, his muscles slightly bulging but not appearing overly developed, concealing terrifying power within.

"My path's ascension is, after all, much more difficult than the ordinary 'Radiance' path... If a 'Child of Light' wants to open the Third Primordial Substance, devouring another 'Radiance' Extraordinary of the Third Primordial Substance is absolutely sufficient, and even sacrificing a few 'Children of Light' of the Second Primordial Substance would suffice..."

Relying on his own 'Wuxing Bianzhi' and his ability as a master craftsman, Aaron drew a complex Ritual Array on the floor without any auxiliary tools. Every spirit number symbol and Mysterious symbol on it represented different meanings, with a level of precision that would make even Clark dizzy and fall into a semi-mad state if he were to look at it.

"I no longer hold any hope; I just want to scrape together the funds as soon as possible to avoid bankruptcy liquidation... Are you still interested in the 5% stake in the textile factory I mentioned last time? It's only 1300 pounds!"

Aaron chanted slowly in the Spirit World Language, feeling his body and Spirituality as if they had turned into Firewood, ignited by strands of flame, his body surface directly enveloped by pure white flames.

Aaron's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "What does that 'Eugene' look like? Have you gone to Glamorgan Field to report it to the police?"

'But... nothing is more important than my ascension right now.'

From above the firmament of the Spirit World, the gaze of an even greater existence was disturbed, about to descend along the light...

"Burn everything that is flammable!"

It seemed as if a white-gold ray of light descended from the infinite radiance and pierced into Aaron's eyes.

'Hmm, judging by the description, it sounds like the leader of that fraud ring.'

Judging by the fact that William Mark had waited for him for several hours, he had few paths left to take.

He grabbed his hat and cane and walked out the door as Sylvia saw him off.

"Let's begin!"

Sylvia's service during these days had been diligent, and now she looked as pitiful as a puppy about to be abandoned by its master; he didn't mind helping her out in passing.

Night.

'It seems poor Mr. Mark has fallen into a trap again.'

Sylvia stepped forward, took Aaron's hat, and explained softly to him.

Aaron sighed: "Please let me consider it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

After tossing a coin and performing a divination, Aaron sealed his room and took out various Spirit Materials, among which a crimson core was continuously radiating astonishing heat and light.

Mentioning this issue, Sylvia's expression turned slightly pale, and she asked with anticipation: "C-can I go with you, Young Master? Perhaps your manor doesn't need a butler, but it should need a butler's assistant or a head maid?"

Whoosh!

His clothes instantly turned to ash and scattered in all directions.

Streams of pure white, illusory flames suddenly manifested from the Ritual Array.

"That was close... but the next time I ascend to a Non-human Existence, I will inevitably collide with that one."

His expression was grave, carrying a deep sense of worry.

At this moment, Aaron had remarkably unlocked the Third Primordial Substance—【Sublimation】, becoming a 'Maker'!
