Chapter 782 -777: Alchemy Emperor
The Imperial Palace.
Thanks to the protection of the Holy Light Guard and the Shadow Guard, Bai Qi and his group easily entered the royal palace.
“Worthy of being the inventor of alchemy, this palace is simply the epitome of alchemical achievement!”
Bai Qi quietly observed his surroundings. After seeing all sorts of alchemical creations, his curiosity was piqued, nearly exposing himself.
“Human, please stay calm. Our objective is to find out who the traitor is, so don’t sweat the small stuff.”
With a serious face, Schuck warned Bai Qi. Bai Qi sulkily turned away his gaze, but when he saw the soldiers looking around as if they had ADHD, he couldn’t help but criticize them internally.
“Before you critique me next time, first dispel your abilities.”
While one person and one pet quarreled surreptitiously because of their contract, both the Holy Light Guard and the Shadow Guard halted their steps.
Bai Qi sneakily looked ahead and found two middle-aged men standing quietly in front of a great hall.
Both men had blonde hair and blue eyes, and even their facial features were quite similar. However, their attire was starkly distinct—one wore pure black, while the other donned pure white.
“Are they the leaders of the Holy Light Guard and the Shadow Guard?”
Bai Qi recalled the information he had extracted from the other soldiers and immediately restrained himself from paying them too much attention.
Without having met the Dark Emperor yet, he couldn’t stir up trouble. After all, anyone who could lead both military forces couldn’t possibly be easy to deal with.
Fortunately, neither man noticed anything unusual about Bai Qi and company. Seeing that both guard units had arrived, they advanced toward the grand hall.
Boom, boom.
They lightly knocked on the palace’s front door, which swung open.
Seemingly accustomed to this, they entered the palace first, followed by the Holy Light Guard and the Shadow Guard.
Seeing the others’ actions, Bai Qi and his companions promptly followed. However, they were stunned by the view within the hall.
It wasn’t that they had seen something horrifying, but rather that the palace was completely different from what they had imagined.
According to the records, the Dark Emperor was unpredictable, often punishing those around him impulsively, and thus was given the name ‘Dark Emperor’.
As such, Bai Qi had expected the Dark Emperor’s palace to be filled with mystery or an evil aura.
But in front of them was a wide palace filled haphazardly with items of uncertain use.
This messy place didn’t resemble a hall in the slightest—it was clearly a large otaku’s room!
“Bai Qi, why do I feel like this place is very similar to your studio…”
After carefully looking around a few times, Zhuge Chen spoke to Bai Qi via Husky’s soul connection.
“Don’t slander me, my studio is very tidy!”
Bai Qi snapped at Zhuge Chen, then looked curiously toward the front.
Peering past the piles of miscellaneous items, Bai Qi could vaguely see a young man in a short robe who was engrossed in carving something. He seemed unaware of the group’s arrival.
The two leaders appeared unsurprised by this behavior and strode forward, bowing in deference to the young man.
“Your servant, Luke Bog.”
“Your servant, Seth Bog.”
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
The sound of their voices seemed to disturb the young man’s concentration. His right hand slipped, leaving a long mark on the block of wood he was working on. The block of wood started vibrating rapidly, and a burst of intense power could be seen emanating from it.

Seeing this, Luke Bog acted swiftly, releasing a ball of light that enveloped the block of wood.
Immediately, the block of wood exploded within the ball of light, completely shielded and causing no harm to the engrossed youth.
“Your Majesty, it’s fine for you to be passionate about alchemy, but you still need to pay attention to your own safety.”
With a hint of reproof, Luke Bog looked at the young man, who seemed to have yet to awake from his studies. He lifted his head blankly, and upon seeing the Holy Light Guards and Shadow Guards, a hint of life finally returned to his eyes.
This is the Dark Emperor?
A spark of curiosity flashed in Bai Qi’s eyes as he studied the young man before him.
His hair was unkempt, his look seemingly vacant, yet his eyes held a unique gleam.
Bai Qi was familiar with this gleam—it was like that of his own parents, a spark that came from being engrossed in one’s work.
This Dark Emperor was different from the one mentioned in the records.
“Ah, my beloved subjects, is it already the routine inspection day for the Holy Light Guards and Shadow Guards?”
The Dark Emperor scratched his head and strode over to a Holy Light Guard, inspecting him from head to toe. He then rushed over to inspect a Shadow Guard.
It seemed that he planned to inspect all the guards in the exact same way.
“Bai Qi, what should we do? Should we make a move?”
Bai Qiucha asked urgently upon seeing this, but Bai Qi showed no sign of panic, signaling them to stay still.
Soon, the Dark Emperor came over and inspected them. However, as before, he swiftly checked them and returned to his desk without any delay.
“As I had expected, the energy transfer of the Holy Light Guards is still not smooth, and the bodies of the Shadow Guards are still affected by the Shadow Department Power.”
Saying this, the Dark Emperor quickly jotted down some notes on a piece of paper and handed it to the two leaders, saying, “Simply remake them according to my notes.”
“We understand.”
Luke Bog stepped back with a slight nod, while Seth Bog effortlessly came forward and said, “Your Majesty, there have been increasingly frequent activity from ferocious beasts in our vicinity recently. I suspect there may be some movement from the tribes. Please grant me command of the military to prepare for any uncertainty.”
“The tribes? The old fox, perhaps?”
Upon hearing the name of the tribes, the Dark Emperor’s eyes suddenly lit up. He casually took out a token from his bosom and threw it to Seth Bog.
“Seth, my dear minister, I entrust the matter of the tribes to you. Make sure to intercept the ferocious beasts outside our borders. As for the safety of our citizens around us, let that be a burden on Luke.”
“This is our responsibility, Your Majesty. You overly praise us.”
Both of them kneeled down in unison, their neat movements were as if they had rehearsed it in advance.
“Okay, that’s it. I have to continue my research; you should both leave.”
The Dark Emperor seemed disinterested in these matters. He yawned, signaling them to leave. Without being surprised, they both slowly exited the palace.
However, Bai Qi and the others stayed behind.
The soul shielding of the Husky, the illusionism from the Cordyceps, Delta’s spatial transfer.
The Boh brothers, under the perfect cooperation of their Beast Controls, did not realize there was an issue with their own team.
“Truly the Bo Ge family, they seem to stand on a high social status.”
Bai Qiucha glanced in the direction where the Boh brothers departed, a trace of doubt flickered across her eyes.
“However, how come their power is so weak? Not even on par with these Holy Light Guards.”
“Didn’t you see that they are Beast Masters? They’ve already gained control of their power, and wouldn’t risk conducting human-alchemy.”
Bai Qi was not surprised. Based on the situation he understood, although the way the Holy Light Guards were made differed from those in the underground palaces, they similarly affected a person’s mentality.
Judging from their conversation with the Dark Emperor, they might be waiting for the Dark Emperor to perfect this technology before integrating it.
However, considering that the Bo Ge family used the Paradise Bird to carry the Angel’s Power in future generations, it seems they did not succeed.
“Should the uninvited guests reveal themselves now?”
At this moment, the Dark Emperor’s voice suddenly entered Bai Qi and the others’ ears. The three of them were startled.
“Bai Qi, your concealment technique was discovered?”
Ah woo ah woo!
(Impossible, my Spirit Power is stronger than anyone here, he couldn’t possibly detect it!)
Upon hearing this, Beta’s hair bristled, while Delta and the Cordyceps expressed that they did not sense being detected.
“While your concealment is good, it’s unfortunately in vain. No matter how concealed, the change of material within this room reveals all.”
The Dark Emperor opened his eyes, and a silhouette of a balance appeared in his gaze, focused on the place where Bai Qi and the others were hiding.
“Matter change? Equivalent exchange? I see, it seems we were deceived by the law of conservation of energy.”
Looking at the Dark Emperor’s peculiar eyes, Bai Qi quickly deactivated the concealment and appeared in front of the Dark Emperor.
“I apologize for appearing in front of you in this manner, Your Majesty. However, we are not enemies.”
Bai Qi bowed slightly to the Dark Emperor, and explained.
“I know. If you were enemies, I would not have waited until now to call you out.”
The Dark Emperor nodded, took a look at Bai Qi and the others, then returned to his previous position to continue with his tinkering.
Had they been discovered long ago?
Bai Qi was slightly surprised by the sight, while Beta lay remorsefully on the ground with evident shock on its face.
Ah woo ah woo…
(How could my hiding skills possibly be discovered…)
“This silly dog, who knew it could be so despondent.”
Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing this, yet didn’t find it surprising at all.
Alchemy calls for equivalent exchange, making it highly sensitive to changes in matter.
He was unsure whether the Dark Emperor possessed a special talent or had formed a contract with a monstrous beast. However, it was clear that the Dark Emperor could easily detect changes in the surrounding matter.
They had indeed used various methods to hide themselves, which inevitably affected the surrounding energy. It was reasonable for the Dark Emperor to discover them.
However, from their brief encounter, the Dark Emperor did not seem to fit the brutal image historically recorded but more like a researcher.
However, if that was the case, what was the explanation for the Dark Armor on the South Sea Small Island?
Bai Qi looked up at the Dark Emperor who was immersed in his alchemical work, shook his head, and put aside his doubts.
History does not lie, but records can.
Given what they observed from the outside, it would be abnormal if the historians depicted him as a good person.
“Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?”
“Was it your intention to conduct human-alchemy on humans and ferocious beasts?”
Bai Qi stared fixedly at the Dark Emperor, and Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen held their breath, waiting for an answer.
Hearing Bai Qi’s question, the Dark Emperor’s face revealed an understanding look. He lifted his head to look at Bai Qi and said,
“Yes, it not only it was my idea, but I also developed the enchantment of human alchemy.”
