While Lacius spent most of his time managing and stabilizing the situation in the Sacred Kingdom, six years quickly passed by.

  Ihe Divine Space, Cedric stood in front of a floating elven body he had just copied from a random elf in the Crystal Cube world.

  After years of study, he has finally attained a preliminary uanding of elven and dwarven anatomy.

  As a race with a longer lifespan pared to humans. Although all three of them are simirly humanoid species, their internal an and energy circution pathways are quite different from each other.

  Let's take the dwarves as an example.

  Cedric found out that their muscles and some ans recover faster than humans, which should allow those dwarves to train their muscles faster. Their livers are also much more resilient and strohan average humans which should be one of the reasons they could live much lohan humans.

  Except for their an, the dwarves' energy circution paths are also wider and faster around the body while being slightly slower around the head area pared to the average humans. He isn’t sure why that happens at all for now and might study it more ih iure.

  As for the elves, their overall energy circution path is wider than that of humans. However, the speed of energy circution is much slower aurbulent. Their energy circution is also more ied with their body which should be able to repair their body and increase their natural regeion more than the humans.

  pared to humans, the elves and dwarves also have a better DNA prote thingamajig whose exact official name Cedric doesn't know. He suspected those things should be the main reason for them to have much longer lifespans pared to humans.

  No matter how he saw it, humans seem like some kind of cheap knock off produpared to elves and dwarves.

  While thinking so, Cedric digested the knowledge he had just learned and waved his hand to disperse the elven body floating in front of him.

  He turned his head towards the cloear him and checked the date.

  "It's been half a year since I st checked the Crystal Cube world. So, let's do a che every race." Cedric closes his eyes and sends his mental power into the world.

  First, Cedriced through the human's territory.

  When he is sure it isn't in chaos, Cedric ges his focus and searches around the pace to look for Lacius.

  Like the st time Cedric saw him, Lacius is currently busy managing the kingdom while occasionally doing some experiments on a blessed.

  To be ho, Cedric is a bit ed with Lacius's experiments, as he actually used many high level blessed as experimental material.

  However, the result of Lacius's experiment has greatly satisfied Cedric. He has actually found two other trainihods and has eveed what's basically alchemy by mixing magical pnts as in the world.

  Because the result from Lacius's experiment greatly satisfied Cedric, although he felt a bit in a dilemma, he finally chose to ignore Lacius's inhumane experiments.

  Cedric has previously done a preliminary study ohod Lacius ied, which is one of the reasons he hasn't fiudying the elven and dwarven physiology. He has eveed the tinuation for the earth elemehod that be used up to level 2.

  But this time, he decided not to share the Level 2 trainihod with Lacius.

  It’s mainly because he is still a bit traumatized from An's death. Especially since Lacius has a much higher status and seems to be much more talehan An.

  He doesn't want such a genius to die from a magical version of qi deviation, and Lacius's death will definitely cause massive chaos in the Crystal Cube world.

  Furthermore, Cedric realized that wheried to meddle in things, the situation would often spiral beyond trol. So, he is curious how things will ge when he doesn't intervene during important moments.

  ***

  After another check around the Sacred Kingdom, Cedric's mental power left the human's territory and moved toward the dwarf's magical mountain.

  When the dwarves, Cedric found their pce is currently full of otion. Occasionally, there are fire and explosion noises ing from the mountain’s surfad interior.

  After the dwarves for an hour, Cedric has seen five big explosions ing from several buildings. One of the explosions has even heavily injured a dwarf at Mid Level 0.

  Cedric activated Past Observation and found that the dwarf had somehow created gunpowder-like explosives when he hadn't seen them.

  Different from gunpowder oh, the gunpowder those dwarves created is mostly bckish red, dark purple, reen colored. It's made using a mixture of magic metals, coal, some magit seed that could gee air, and other random things, and those materials caused the color of the dwarf's gunpowder to be much more varied.

  Another important thing to note is that the dwarf king who Cedrice pulled into the Dream Space is the ohat has first crafted a magical gunpowder.

  What a pity though, that dwarf has already died during one of his experiments.

  Cedric saw the dwarf king had added too much certairemely preagic metal that someholified the explosion by several thousands of times.

  Although the explosion it caused isn't enough to cause a mushroom cloud to appear. But, the stone house of the dwarf king has exploded into smithereens from the explosion.

  Even the armor he often wore has been turned into brokeal pieces that are currently dispyed in the dwarf's cil hall as a warning to other dwarves when they py around with explosives.

  After the death of the current dwarf king, the other dwarf elders discussed for a long time and decided to not nominate another king. Instead, they'll use a cil system to mahe kingdom.

  Cedric closed Past Observation and rubbed his forehead. "Guess I o check the dwarves more often too. I am afraid they might actally go extinct after starting an untrolled explosion."

  "Everyone in the Crystal Cube world is getting more and more troublesome," Cedric said as he moved toward the elves' territory. "I just hope the elves haven't ged much. My heart 't take any more surprises."

  Once he arrived at the elven magic forest, Cedric looked around the pce where many elves gathered and saw they were currently busy crafting potteries, singing, weaving grasses, crafting clothes, or smithial accessories.

  He looked at several other elf gathering spots and found all of them were pretty much still the chill elf he knew.

  Cedric then activates Past Observation and skims through what the elves have been doing while he hasn't seen them.

  When he saw those elves were still doing the same b thing, Cedric closed his Past Observation and finally breathed a sigh of relief. 'As expected of the elves, they're indeed dependable.'

  Then, Cedric activated Divine Sight to check their progress while frowning. 'It's just that their progress is much slower than humans.'

  Actually, the progress of both the dwarves and elves has greatly fallen behind the humans who have received a boost in life level from surviving a demon king attack.

  pared to the human race which has close to fifty Level 1 blessed. The amount of Level 1 blessed in the elven race or the dwarven race hasn't even reached 5.

  With how messed up the humans in his world are, Cedrida fears what would happehey meet the dwarf and elf.

  He has read enough fantasy novels where elves became an expensive sve for mankind, and knows things definitely won't end up peacefully.

  Luckily, the area surrounding the human's territory is filled with some escaped demons.

  Although they keep on geing NE by killing and t the animals in the wilderness, the amount isn't too much. So, Cedric didn't warn the human kingdom for now. He even hoped those demons could get stronger. In that case, the humans won't be able to eher race's areas anytime soon.

  But Cedriew that was just a deying tactic. He still o find a way to bahe three race's bat power.

  After cheg the situation of all three intelligent races in his world, Cedriehow lost the will to tiudying and became stressed over the power baweehree races instead. 'How do I increase the power of the two races so they could tend against the humans when the iable first tact began.'

  While Cedric ending time in thought, the System suddenly appeared.

  [When your world leveled up, the bance of your world will greatly increase for a short time and allow you to do more things like using GP to create or move things in your world.]

  [At that time, you just send a few NE ied creature into the elves and dwarves' territory to start a NE camity. You evee a mohat will fight and kill those races so they gee ive Energy.]

  "Eh? I do that?" Cedripted. "Are you saying I should artificially increase the y in those areas and summon demon kings to wreak havoc so the dwarves and elves increase their level by killing demons ied with NE?"

  [That's pretty much it. Anyway, do you wish to see a suitable monster in the shop?]

  "Damn it, so you're just pitg your product?!" Cedric rolled his eyes and sprawled in his chair.

  With a wave of his hand, Cedric created some pizza to eat while watg the explosion show on the dwarves' mountain to pass the time and rex.

  After he felt more rexed, Cedric created a copy of a dwarf’s body and began studying it.

  ***

  While Cedric is busy studying dwarven anatomy.

  Ihe Sacred Kingdom, Hars has returo the Winter City.

  Right now, he successfully reached the peak of Level 1.

  The momeurned, Hars immediately visited the pace's throne room.

  When Lacius saw Hars who had tanned after beihered by the sun, he asked everyone else to leave the throne room.

  Once everyo, Lacius smiled and greeted him. "Well, it's good that you've finally reached the limit too. Now, we only o finish the st step and wait for those blessed to reach a suitable level. Then, we'll have a ce to be reborn!"

  Hars looked a bit exhausted but still nodded with a smile. "It's good then, you're finally getting closer to your dream."

  "Yeah." Lacius nodded "I have checked those blessed, and the first batch sisting of three people should be ready in around two more years. Then, the sed batch with even more people should be ready in anht to ten years."

  Hars nodded and walked toward the pce where he usually stood.

  Seeing Hars standio his throne, Lacius asked the guard to recall the nobles and tiheir meeting.

  While Lacius and Hars mahe kingdom and occasionally researched alchemy, two and a half years have passed.

  On this day, the third and final Level 1 blessed he has sent to train has finally reached Peak Level 1.

  When the blessed returo Winter City, Lacius sent a messeo that blessed and summoned him to the pace.

  After Lacius cluded the day’s audience, he ordered everyone except Hars and that blessed to leave the throne room.

  Staying aloh Lacius and Hars, the blessed quickly kneeled and said, "Jonas has met Your Majesty."

  "Mmhm." Lacius just nodded his head and said toward Hars, "Give him the gift I've prepared."

  Jonas immediately locked his eyes on Hars and watched in anticipation as Hars walked towards him.

  Once he stood in front of Jonas, Hars pulled a vial of potions and ha toward him. "This is a bonus reward for your hard work. After you drink that, we'll let you meet the other two blessed who've arrived before you and then all three of you shall be rewarded with a le at the same time."

  Jonas thanked Hars and took the vial of potion. Once he drank it, he felt his body and mind turn heavy.

  Before Jonas could ask what was happening, he fell forward and turned unscious.

  The ime he opened his eyes, Jonas found himself inside a dim room.

  He tried to move his body but found most of them had paralyzed and turned numb. All he do is slightly move his eyes to check his surroundings.

  While he tried to look to his right side, Jonas saw the corpse of a te middle-aged woman. The woman looks quite familiar, but he 't exactly remember when or where he saw her.

  Suddenly, Jonas recalled who the woman was. 'Is that… high priestess Tsukiko from creatod's temple?! Where am I right now? Someone help me!!!'

  He felt a great danger and tried his best to tinue his surroundings and looking for clues to escape. But suddenly, he felt areme pain akin to having all of his ans shattered. It's extremely painful to the point he unsciously lets out a scream.

  When he screamed, Jonas could hear a familiar voiearby him.

  "Eh? He woke up already?" Lacius stopped cirg his energy inside Jonas and looked toward Hars.

  Hars quickly prepared two potions ahem to Jonas.

  One of the potions quickly healed all of his wounds, while the other one knocked Jonas unscious.

  "Well, now he has tio sleep, let's tihe experiment." Lacius studied Tsukiko's corpse and then tried another cirethod on Jonas.
