Two hundred and ten years ago, Publius, who was born in Helios, met Garland, who was present.

This may be the intersection of their destiny.

Unfortunately, there was no storm, nor did the two sides look at each other and know that the other was their destined enemy at first sight. It was just a simple encounter.

The alchemists from the present realm came to Helios. The alchemists of Helios welcomed them diligently and bid farewell to the previous group of arrivals.

From now on, they have been together for seventy years.

For Prublius, Garland, an alchemist from the present realm, was too boring, serious and meaningless.

For Garland, a existence like Purbulius that is too free is a real alien in the alchemist's holy land, chatting endlessly and in great trouble.

It can be said that we are disgusted with each other.

However, in order to study cooperation on the topic and the directions that each other is good at, the two sides have to maintain superficial peace and close relationship, and even secretly have some cross-line cooperation.

As the inheritor of the holy name of the Blessed Family, Garland violated the ban of the previous chief and secretly shared the books he had carried with Purbulius.

And Purblius gave back to Helios's mystery.

Both sides take the needs.

A good deal.

But at the same time it became more and more like a ridicule from fate.

It was clearly born in a holy land like Helios, inheriting the blood of the Olympian gods and also having talents that ordinary people cannot reach. But Publius did not want to stay in a dry and monotonous place like Helios, and he dreamed that he yearned for the prosperity of the present situation.

However, the alchemist who came from the present situation was limited by a short period of time, his identity and strict bans, and could not see the true inheritance of Helios...

It was like two frogs meeting in the darkness. The frog at the bottom of the well wanted to go to the outside world, but the frog in the outside world wanted to stay in the well in his dreams.

They all live in their own hell and in other people's heaven at the same time.

So, they made an agreement.

The last deal was reached...

“—We carried out the [Eleusismith].”

Garland calmly explained: "Although it was stealing from Hecate's authority, it pointed to the realm of Demeter, the mother of the Four Seasons... In other words, it is 'reversal of gains and losses'."

Under the witness and hosting of He Di, a common friend of both sides, they exchanged the price of their destiny.

And unlike others...

They exchanged twice!

"Once, the 'lost' was exchanged, and once, the 'obtainment' was exchanged-"

Garland calmly told Huai Shi, "It's not just a simple exchange of his own identity, but a complete exchange of fate and talent and even souls."

Using the secret ritual as the transit, at the same time, from both positive and negative directions, a comprehensive exchange of consciousness, soul, body, and even destiny is realized.

From then on, Publius became Garland, and Garland... became Publius!

"etc!"

In contemplation, Huai Shi suddenly realized something was wrong: if the soul was just exchanging the body, the soul would not be able to escape from Helios's law? But if even the soul and consciousness were exchanged...

How do you know who you are?

Just rely on a memory?

If an apple has the shape of an orange? It has the structure of an orange and the taste of an orange? Even the shelf life and taste are exactly the same as that of an orange? Then it should be an orange!

It was like the ship of Theseus.

After the two ships replaced their decks, rails, sails, equipment and even crew, except for the replacement records and an illusory memory? What is the difference between this and not changing them!

"Since that's the case, why do you say that you were once Publius? Maybe? You are just Garland, who has Publius' memory!"

"Is this alchemy? Isn't it, Huaishi?"

Garland's cold face smiled for the first time, so calm, but it made people feel cold inside: "If you have gains, you have to give up? But sometimes? What matters is not what you get, but what you lose."

Is the mortal iron that has turned into gold still the same piece of mortal iron?

Fan Tie doesn't care!

As long as it can become gold, it's enough!

Philosophical thinking is never important in alchemy. The so-called replacement is nothing more than a process, and the most important thing is the result.

For Publius? This is the greatest initiative and jailbreak in his life.

Long before escaping from the Moon Prison.

He had already escaped from the fateful cage of Helios!

From that time on, their fate was misaligned? It was like two interlaced straight lines that continued in the original direction after entangling and knotting each other.

In that tiny intersection? What kind of entanglement happened? This is not important, what is important? They got the results they wanted.

What’s ridiculous is that Eleusismith, a secret ritual used by devils and liars to steal other people’s wealth and life? But by chance, the birth of two great masters was led to the birth of two great masters.

Garland, who is eager for alchemy, has no inheritance, and Publius, who has inheritance, has no freedom. If they have never exchanged their destiny, they may not be able to achieve something...

It's as ridiculous as if it won the first prize twice in a row.

Exchange the future of a grandmaster for the future of a grandmaster...

This wave is the original TP!

But then, Huai Shi couldn't help but feel creepy: He finally realized the real serious problem!

To interfere with fate with alchemy, it is necessary to follow the rules of alchemy.

There are gains and losses, and disasters and miracles are one side.

Since the exchange of fate has led to the emergence of two great masters, it will inevitably be accompanied by the cost!

“But what is the price?”

"Fate itself is the price, Huai Shi, isn't it?"

Garland seemed to be smiling and mocking, "I am 'Garland'. What I get is everything Garland originally enjoyed, reputation, ability, expertise, experience, blood...

And what ‘Publius’ got is the future of Publius.

From hundreds of years ago, the future is destined—that is, what you see now, now.”

With his words, bloody light rose into the sky.

Finally, I climbed to the edge of the sun wheel.

Touched the boundaries of the gods.

Hold tightly!

The hurricane swept over Helios, and a ecstatic laughter came from the roaring wind.

He finally touched the edge of the ‘dream’!

Holding the fate of "myself"!

Even this fate, this dream, and this self... are just fakes exchanged from others!

From the beginning, the existence called Purbrus was the crystallization created by the alchemists in Helios.

The "miracle" created through genetics, source science, through hell bloodlines, and through the secret instrument of fate!

It can be said that he himself is an existence specially created for alchemy!

The final result specially achieved to meet the taboo prayers and goals in the hearts of Alchemists of Helios in history...

This was a secret that should have been hidden before the exchange.

Just like the signs of Garland's own blood fever and the many dark heritages of the Blesser Family.

But after learning about it, both sides did not hesitate at all.

It's like Purbulius doesn't care.

In this regard, Garland was happy!

"The so-called life, no matter how rich and colorful or powerful it is, is just a short century of time, and it goes away in a blink of an eye... When you come, you have nothing, and when you leave, you will be silent. In the end, even a handful of ashes cannot be retained.

Too embarrassed, compared to his own creation, the alchemist is too pitiful and too humble."

Garland once asked, "Don't you feel unwilling to accept it?"

He said, "I want to be eternal!"

"But there is nothing that lasts forever in this world. This is what life is like. As long as you live a wonderful life, I don't think there is anything wrong with having an end."

Publius shook his head, "You know, even a god cannot last forever."

"Then become a god first!"

Garland said flatly, "One day, I will be able to reach immortality..."

"So, make an exchange, Purbulius."
