Chapter 159: The Unnameable Ruler

Standing behind the living room door, Gune's source vision unfolded.

The powerful penetrating nature of source vision easily saw through the door before him and the iron door at the end of the quiet corridor.

Gune breathed a sigh of relief. It was Veya.

Besides Veya, there was another transcendent.

After opening the iron door, what met his eyes were Veya, wearing a deep blue spellcaster's robe, and a middle-aged man in his early thirties, dressed in a double-breasted gray robe and a black top hat.

"And this is?" Gune looked at Veya, then his gaze fell on the middle-aged man.

"Dr. Gillard, an expert in biology," Veya said crisply.

"And this is the alchemy master we are meeting this time, Gune Lawrence!"

"Good morning, Master Gune." Dr. Gillard took off his hat to salute Gune, a hint of surprise flickering across his face, but it was well concealed.

Before coming, he had heard from Veya that Master Gune was very young.

But he hadn't expected him to be this young.

"Good morning, Dr. Gillard," Gune replied.

A moment later, the three sat down in the small living room.

"If you hadn't come, I'd have thought you'd forgotten me here," Gune teased as he poured coffee for Veya.

"There are so many things to deal with. Recently, the Sog Ruins City seems calm on the surface, but in secret, several battles have occurred."

"Dealing with those who rely on concealment abilities to hide in the Sog Ruins City?"

"Yes," Veya nodded.

"Those clever fools died miserably."

"A few days ago, we used a very powerful 'wonder item' and found quite a few shadow transcendents, eliminating a large batch. Although some fish slipped through the net, they are still lingering in the Sog Ruins City. Finding them is only a matter of time."

"A powerful wonder item? Then those fellows really were a bit too clever."

"Wonder items, sometimes, possess miraculous powers that completely transcend conventional rules."

Gune had considerable trust in the execution capability of the Vanguard Group.

On Winter Extinction Night, they killed some heretics and alien races, and also captured a batch.

Using those captured individuals, combined with wonder items, it shouldn't be a problem to trace and find those hiding in the Sog Ruins City.

As he pondered, Veya spoke again.

"Also, the issue of the potion experiments you mentioned earlier—the higher-ups take it very seriously."

"While cleaning up the remnants, they have already started building a new potion laboratory, larger and better than Deep Castle."

"In another three to five days, we can basically move in."

"This time, I brought Dr. Gillard over mainly to see if you have any important matters to discuss."

After a moment of deliberation, Gune looked at Dr. Gillard and slowly spoke.

"Dr. Gillard, how is the construction of your laboratory coming along?"

"Setting up the laboratory is much simpler than building the secret chamber for the arcane potions. Mine is fully prepared; I just need to wait for your potions," Dr. Gillard replied.

"That's good." Gune nodded lightly, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

"On Winter Extinction Night, Dr. Henry came to see me. At that time, his experiment should have achieved a phased breakthrough."

"Unfortunately, he died at the hands of that fallen flame demon." Gune sighed softly.

"Dr. Henry was indeed a very dedicated and respectable doctor. He had an extremely rigorous and meticulous work ethic." Dr. Gillard gave Dr. Henry high praise.

"Fortunately, I have recorded all the formulas and methods for the arcane potions at this experimental stage."

"Also, I have backups of all the experimental potions."

Gune's words made Dr. Gillard pause.

"So that means..."

"Yes, you can go ahead and start the experiments now." Gune nodded with a smile.

Dr. Gillard felt a surge of joy.

To witness the birth of arcane potions in his hands—this was the highest honor.

He knew very well that the Vanguard Group and even the higher-ups of the Yulan Transcendent Association.

Many important figures had their eyes on Master Gune here in the Sog Ruins City.

Within the Yulan Empire, there were over a dozen laboratories for arcane potions, but only Gune's here was making steady progress and constantly approaching the goal.

In fact, Dr. Gillard had even heard that because Master Gune had achieved quite a few results,

Many master pharmacists had their experimental materials and funding significantly reduced.

On one hand, it was because those laboratories indeed consumed enormous funds and materials, like gold-devouring beasts.

On the other hand, naturally, it was because some master pharmacists, under the guise of research, embezzled materials.

As a result, many master pharmacists spontaneously developed hostility toward the newly risen master pharmacist named 'Guné Lawrence.'

After speaking, Guné took out a storage bracelet specially used for experiments and placed it before Dr. Girard.

'More than thirty doses of the potion are inside.'

Dr. Girard picked up the storage bracelet, examined it carefully, and nodded cautiously.

'After returning this time, I will conduct the experiment as soon as possible. Once I succeed, I will come here to report to you.'

'I look forward to your good news,' Guné replied with a smile.

Having obtained the Arcane Pattern Potion, Dr. Girard did not stay any longer; he rose and left first.

With the Arcane Pattern Potion in hand, he himself was somewhat eager to begin the experiment.

'The Arcane Pattern Potion will soon be out, and I... must step up the acquisition of materials,' Guné thought to himself.

Before, when he had no gold pounds, Guné thought thirty to fifty thousand gold pounds' worth of materials would be enough.

Now, in his hands, he had good items worth nearly two hundred thousand gold pounds that were easy to liquidate.

Naturally, Guné wanted to turn those thirty to fifty thousand gold pounds' worth of materials into seventy to eighty thousand.

After all, no matter how much he bought now, it was a sure profit with no loss.

'You... not busy today?'

Looking at Veya, who was sipping coffee on the sofa and enjoying the warmth of the fireplace, Guné asked.

'I'm taking a rest day today. Tomorrow I'll be busy again,' Veya shrugged.

'This time...'

Guné hesitated for a moment before asking.

'What were the results?'

Since the Night of Winter's End, Guné's only source of information had been the Transcendent Daily.

But the Transcendent Daily did not report detailed information.

Now that Veya had arrived and had free time today, Guné naturally wanted to learn more about the results of the Night of Winter's End.

After deliberating for a short while, Veya slowly spoke.

'On that Night of Winter's End, the Sog Ruins City was only a hair's breadth away from annihilation.'

Guné's expression shifted slightly as he listened carefully.

'At that time, there were as many as five Transcendent Masters in Sog Ruins City.'

'Originally, they thought they could deal with the Barbarian Saint and the arriving Scion of the Evil God.'

'But they never expected that, accompanying the Barbarian Saint and the Scion of the Evil God, there were as many as twelve Transcendent Masters from alien races and heretics who came to Sog Ruins City, plus the Barbarian Saint and the Scion of the Evil God.'

'They had a total of fourteen Transcendent Masters' combat power.'

'But their plan was even more terrifying—they directly called for the descent of the 'Unnameable Dominator.''

'Furthermore, they even tried to use certain things sealed beneath Sog Ruins City to bear the will of the 'Unnameable Dominator' in that sea of blood.'

'Unnameable Dominator?' Guné's heart trembled slightly.

'Yes, that existence in the sea of blood is a sleeping Unnameable Dominator,' Veya said softly.

If it were an Evil God, its power could still be traced.

But a Dominator—that was a great existence that once ruled the stars. Though the reason for their slumber was unknown.

Even while sleeping, they themselves were still unnameable, unrecordable, indescribable terrifying existences. To this day, no one knows their true names; what is known are merely appellations people give them.

Even Evil Gods are merely their subordinates.

The Dominators, who once ruled the stars, possessed means so powerful they were unimaginable.

From the Dominator's remains, the 'Unnameable Flesh,' Guné had deeply experienced those terrifying and bizarre powers.

There was simply no omen, nor any principle.

Touch meant death.

It was almost like a Flag.

There was simply no way to resist; the form of existence of this power completely transcended common sense.

'Just calling upon a sleeping Dominator nearly caused the destruction of Sog Ruins City.'

'They truly are unnameable!'

Guné sighed inwardly.
