“So most of you here know me. How nostalgic.” Alice saw every single face that presents at that place. She could see the deal they had through and it reminded her of herself.

“No way. The goddess had disappeared for long and you claimed yourself to be one. What makes you think that you are one?” a doubt appeared and of course someone expressed it through his words.

It was the person who admired her for a long time. As someone who made various tools, Ye Xiaobai aspired to make one which could shake the world. But someone claimed herself to be one and in front of him.

“Please forgive him.” Said Ye Shui.

“Quickly apologize to both of them!” he continued. His words were directed to Ye Xiaobai. The person that received it all was more surprised to hear that.

“It’ alright. Someone does not believe something immediately is good so from this point onward, I will tell you my story.” Because of this that Alice decided to say those words.

“Do you know where your defense formation came from, young man?” asked Alice. As someone who made it up, she knew every single part of it and of course the weakness of that formation.

“It was used by my family and passed down from generations. As for the one who gives it to us, it was obviously The Goddess of Artifact that gave it.” Said Ye Xiaobai proudly. As for the rest of them, they just let him talked.

‘Cousin, that’s really your idol.’ Ye Yingyuan wanted to say this but would not let it out. He wanted to watch just how this would turn.

“Yes, and I’m the one who creates it. Don’t believe me? Then tell me the weakness that formation has.” Said Alice.

“There were several weaknesses that I noticed from experiences and actual practice. The first one should be the minimum requirement for the power the user has. If that person does not pass the requirement then the result will be severe.” Explained Ye Xiaobai.

‘That’s basically correct. But it was the result of something else.’ Wang Yu wanted to add.

‘But his observation was sharp. Then I just said it all!’ Alice decided to say it when a figure appeared in the middle of their good conversation. When Manstein appeared and heard that Ye Xiaobai had a talk with Alice, he felt pity for Ye Xiaobai.

“Do you ask her if she knows The Interceptor Nascent Formation? You are ridiculous!” shouted Manstein. This made Ye Xiaobai surprised as well as a spark of anger started to form a fire.

“What is the meaning of your words!? I want a proof, a definite one.” Ye Xiaobai did not accept something easily but still, he got rekt by some strange people that led him to the present.

“A definite one, alright. Then asked your grandfather with soft voice if the person standing beside her is someone he knows! That is first.” Manstein did all of this because if the situation continued, he worried that some unexpected factor happened.

“Is that true?” this time, even Ye Xiaobai could realize the intention behind Manstein’s word, to get this done as soon as possible.

‘If that was true then..’ then Ye Xiaobai did not have anything to cover his face due to shame.

Ye Shui rolled his eyes and if he could, he wanted to smack that grandson of his as an apology! But he only nodded and even everyone soon followed. Then every person there except for Ye Xiaobai laughed out loud.

“Look at how our Cousin became skeptical, so funny.” Ye Yingyuan then unleashed his buried emotion and laughed. Even his father, Ye Guhan also laughed at him.

“Why did everyone not tell me sooner!?” anger with embarrassment mixed as one, Ye Xiaobai felt like crying if he could. Because of his bad luck being deceived that he had grown suspicious of anything strange that he encountered.

“Poor child. Anyway, you are soon-to-be my younger brother it seems.” Manstein then told Ye Xiaobai.

‘Unexpectedly, they did this to balance the number each brother have.’ Manstein also started to use Wave Vision skill which enabled him to see more about this closed space.

Ye Shui’s eyes lit up when he heard the words that Manstein had said. But Alice then said, “Hmmph, Senior really broke my good moment now.”

Then she continued, “But because the person himself had appeared, I can proceed to the next step.”

Actually, all of them even wanted to properly pay a respect to Alice but was stopped by Manstein. No matter what, this was too overboard and he did not accustom to excessive reverence.

Before she wanted to move, someone asked a good question. “Do you perhaps also wanted to do it?” it was Hou Fei who asked. Since the once Goddess of Artifact was here and even one of her people also accompany her, why don’t he asked something?

“Do you mean Body Creation and Body Incarnation?” Wang Yu was the person who replied. ‘So there is someone who has the same interest as me.’

They could see from each other that their interest coincidentally the one and the same. So they train of thought instantly connected to one point.

“Yes! I wanted to learn from senior about it all. Please, please let me become your disciple!” the strong intention from Hou Fei made everyone there astonished. Just how far was he going to do that?

Especially Wu Qing. Seeing her attendant like that made her think again about her own circumstances. She also wanted something that she currently lacked, knowledge.

“Of course you can! But we need to do it after we solve this. And also because this is where Ye family resides so I won’t object.” Wang Yu calmly replied. But inside, his excitement was exploded by the old spirit of camaraderie.

“Thank you!”

“First, Senior Manstein. We need to gather these essential resources otherwise you cannot have your body.” Alice then showed the resources that they needed to construct a body.

“But I never heard that soil can be used as a major component for Body Creation. How did Senior know that?” Hou Fei was like a student that just entered a new class.

“Because the soil was like...uhm..semen?” Wang Yu did not want to say it but the fact that he got the result and it became fact forbade him from not telling it.

“Semen, what’s that?” Ye Yingyuan never heard of it before so due to curiosity he asked passionately but Ye Qingcheng who was beside him only acted like he never heard it in the first place. For those who were older, they coughed to feign the surprised expression they had.

“Because of that, we as the member of the research team at that time made an agreement that this soil should be called Semen Soil.” Wang Yu could only keep half of his face calm while the other side of his face, he wanted to laugh.

“The second problem was about the process. We don’t lack energy but we really lacked the person who will maintain the formation.” Alice then continued.

But Manstein then placed himself in front of Ye Shui, giving him a proper greeting.

“Sorry for my inconvenience. This time, I placed myself in front of you so you can see my appearance.” Manstein then placed himself lower than Ye Shui before he faced him.

Did not know why Manstein felt the sadness inside him grow every time he saw the person in front of him.

“I can’t believe it at first but looks like you have something to tell us, right?” Ye Shui calmly said. He felt happy to see that the person he had wanted to see was both his adopted grandson and also the friends of the goddess.

“It’s a long story to explain. Besides, she is my junior and I think that she will not change it.” Manstein answered.

“At that time, she warned me to leave the hall. I thought that she was someone like you but then she even used some strange technique to formed herself temporary and told the still standing person to leave. I really did not expect that she was the person that my family revered.” A little joy and sadness filled the face of Ye Shui.

‘If only I can live a bit longer...’ now he got to know the feeling of someone that still clinging to his or her life.

While the preparations were in progress, Manstein spent the time with the Ye family. This was the first time that he communicated with them all directly. The feeling of being alive again made Manstein glad.

But in the end, he had to tell the thing that became a thorn in his heart.

“Why did the patriarch wanted to witness this?” despite knowing the condition of himself but Ye Shui still came here. This made Manstein worry and at the same time did not know what to do.

“I don’t know. Even everyone here doesn't know about that.” Answered Ye Yingyuan.

“Same here. Why did you ask that for?” Ye Qingcheng also wondered why did this person ask such question.

“I have this feeling that The Patriarch want to do something. Hey, Alice...” Manstein felt that it was necessary to know it. Actually, he really did not want to do this but if the only one who knew about it was The Patriarch then he had to let them know it.

“Yes, what can I do?” Alice obviously knew about it but whether she wanted to tell it or not depend on herself.

“Tell them what The Patriarch of Ye family wanted to do.” Manstein then looked back at Ye Shui, muttering one sentence, “I’m sorry.”

When Ye Shui heard that, he trembled and then moved closer to Alice. “Please let me tell them myself.” He said.

“This is also my responsibility so I will go tell them with you.” Alice then accompanied him to explain it. After hearing that, all of them showed shocked expression. Yes, they did not believe what they just heard.

Meanwhile, Hou Fei received the tutelage from Wang Yu and they even did that wholeheartedly. As for Wu Qing, she then used the newfound knowledge to further enhanced her abilities as well as developed it on her own.

“Then you only need to do this. After I input the most basic blueprint of living beings, we can create the characteristic of that living being.” Wang Yu said with passion.

‘So it can be done this way too. That Manstein is really something.’ Wang Yu heard from Manstein that the soul also carried a trace of the data from their original body. This trace could be extracted just like a backup data when something unexpected happened.

‘Traces of DNA is imprinted in the soul. Then it is our task to decipher it and use it to create another body.’

He thought that this was the real intention behind the Soul Transfer method. ‘But I think he should consider changing its name.’ Wang Yu already thought about the possibility of this to become a new ability.

“And it’s complete just like that?” did not believe that the process was simplified by several degrees, Hou Fei then asked again for confirmation.

“Alright! Let’s begin the process. Everybody has the right to watch but don’t come too close.” Alice then announced the beginning of Body Creation process.

“So my little brother, see you in outside world.” Manstein just ended his topic when Alice announced that. He and Ye Xiaobai had engaged in an interesting discussion about a new method to refine a weapon.

“But will you really appear outside? I still have so many questions about it.” Although it was inevitable, Ye Xiaobai still wanted to ask.

But then a boy beside him then said, “Then do it quickly. And Cousin, we should go to the place where Grandfather currently is to accompany him. I’m afraid that we have to do it.”

After hearing that, Ye Xiaobai’s expression turned dark. Then he glanced at Manstein before left.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Manstein had to apologize to all of the people that would execute this process.

“No problem. We completed the assignment and ready to go at any moment.” Said Wang Yu. Manstein nodded and then turned to look at Wu Qing and Hou Fei. They had been assigned to assist the progress as well as to train them.

“Then please take care of me.” That was the last thing Manstein said before Alice called him.

“Please go to this place immediately.” With that, Manstein was forced to leave.
