Rise of The Anti God

Yuria felt ripples in her soul as she felt her surroundings starting to fade, and instead, she was beginning to feel emotional as various precious memories she held dear began to play right before her.

She then saw her parents from her past life looking proudly at her with smiles, conveying that they were happy to see her alive and healthy.

She felt nostalgic and wistful, missing their warm embrace and love and the happy days they all spent together.

She missed her usual bickering with her mother and how she always hides behind William to shield herself from her mother\'s lectures.

Before she could realize it, a tear trickled down her cheek, and it seemed like minutes passed in her perspective.

However, on the outside, barely a few seconds had really passed, and when the head alchemist saw the tear trickling down the princess\' cheek, he frowned and looked at Tristen, "Your Highness, what kind of pill—"

"Thank you…" Yuria said in a low voice while conveying her complete sincerity in appreciation for making her relive some good memories.

The head alchemist had a stupefied look as he clearly heard what the princess said, especially the moved tone in which she said them.

Yuria then realized that she was getting too emotional and reeled in her mind as she cleared her throat and said, "This pill...though being just a Rank 3 Pill has really miraculous effects. What is it?"

Hearing her words, everyone, including the other participants, were shocked, wondering what kind of pill Tristen gave her to make her cry and then have her truly appreciate the pill he concocted.

At first, they were angry that Tristen made her cry, but now it seemed as if she shed a tear of happiness before and not sadness.

Maximus felt needles stabbing into his heart, seeing how Yuria clearly liked the pill Tristen concocted and how it moved her heart as well.

Kale\'s face contorted into an ugly expression, not understanding how his useless brother was able to make his way into Yuria\'s heart with just his pill.

King Krisen furrowed his brows, wondering what this Tristen was up to and how he made his daughter shed a tear using a pill.

He had seen Damien accompanying Tristen before and thought that these two might be friends or allies with some common interests though he would rather Damien not be a friend of someone like Tristen.

Everyone was impatiently waiting for Tristen\'s answer to the princess\' question to know what kind of pill he exactly made.

"It is a pill for which I came up with my own medical formula. So I named this pill the Soul Touching Pill since it practically stirs the deepest and happiest memories in your soul and brings solace to those who might have a tinge of s...well I will only say this much for now, and I hope this gave you an idea of what kind of pill mine is Your Highness," Damien said in a polite tone.

Kale was surprised to see his usually arrogant brother acting so dignified with a mature tone, unable to believe how good of an actor he was.

However, just like others and him, Maximus couldn\'t believe that Tristen was able to create his own medical formula even though it was just a Rank 3 Pill.

The most shocking thing was how Tristen made a simple yet complicated pill. It was simple because it was a Rank 3 Pill but complicated because it was something that affected the soul.

Not even he had the ability to create a medical formula of his own that affected the soul since anything related to the soul was a dangerous matter and would require fine knowledge and skills to master creating formulas for such.

"I understand...this is really a beautiful pill in every sense. How come no one ever made one like this before?" Yuria asked with pure curiosity while the others were surprised since this was the first time she spoke more than just a single line, and they could sense the eagerness in her tone as if she was really interested in knowing more about this pill.

"Actually, 300 years ago, there once lived a senior alchemist who was quite knowledgeable but only had enough cultivation to concoct Rank 3 pills. He was a sentimental person and wanted to concoct a pill to bring peace to his heart after losing his wife. So he made one such pill for himself. But even after others knew about the existence of this pill, they never paid attention to it since it had no practical use or anything that could help people increase their cultivation. So the medical formula of this pill disappeared along with the death of this alchemist. I got the idea after reading this and came up with my own medical formula."

Yuria\'s eyebrows raised as she never thought that Tristen would be this kind of a genius but seeing his smile, she felt that maybe this was Damien\'s idea, and he passed it along to Tristen to concoct it in his place.

Even the audience nodded in appreciation, seeing how Tristen took cues from the history of alchemy to come up with his own medical formula, and many already started spreading the news that they just witnessed the birth of another alchemy prodigy.

Maximus suddenly felt a sense of inferiority for the first time since he never thought about using history as a means of inspiration and wondered why such a thought never struck him.

Even though he was feeling upset, he couldn\'t help but think that he might have misjudged some of Tristen\'s qualities, and maybe Yuria had caught on to them before.

She couldn\'t understand what Damien was thinking but felt that this was the best possible explanation and said, "You are right. This pill truly touched my soul, and I am glad I was the first one to test this pill. Can I ask for more later?"
