Back when Vexthra pried too deeply into Kent’s past, she triggered a Karmic Backlash that was ant to kill her. But Kent took it upon himself to give her his good karma in exchange for her good life.
However, while it worked and Vexthra was spared, the rule of Karma deed Kent too precious to die in her stead, so they compromised.
The rules allowed him to maintain his good Karma but also Vexthra’s bad Karma, which he would have to pay for in the future.
From that day onward, Kent had been waiting for Lord Karma to call.
However, the call never ca until a few minutes ago.
When they arrived on the platform, Kent lost consciousness for a second. However, within that second, he spent 10 minutes with soone who called himself Lord Karma.
According to him, every Karma in life is a result of his actions. He is in charge of determining who deserves good Karma and who deserves Karma in return.
Kent saw it as weird, but he said nothing.
However, Lord Karma inford him that the ti for him to pay for Vexthra’s Karma had co. Naturally, Kent wasn’t ready, so he bargained.
Perhaps due to coincidence, the lady who was killed by Pill Monarch Jackson’s disciple 75 years ago had good Karma to her na.
So to repay what was owed to him, he asked Kent to exact revenge in his stead, and, depending on how satisfied he was, he would grant Kent an extension on when he would have to pay for Vexthra’s Karma.
Kent accepted the offer, aning that, regardless of what happened, Kent was prepared to kill two people. Thankfully, Pill Monarch Jackson created an environnt that allowed him to look cool while killing him.
He managed to buy himself five years in the end.
Now, he can focus on growing stronger because in five years, Lord Karma will co knocking again, and there will be no extension next ti.
’Change of plans: after I go back and take part in the Interplanetary Sect competition, I will ascend to a High World. Ti for to move past the Core formation stage.’
He scared many people... That much is true. However, he had to do that to win so brownie points from Lord Karma.
According to him, the more dramatic the kill, the more ti he got.
Naturally, Kent was born for drama, so he went for it, and he managed to secure himself so more ti.
Initially, he was planning on giving his ladies and the legion the ti until they couldn’t climb the floors of the dungeon anymore before ascending. However, now, he knew he had to forgo that plan.
’I will use Alchemy to help them. After all, with the kind of pill recipes I have, it is only a matter of ti before I start making heavenly pills.’

Three hours later, a fluctuation appeared at the center of the platform, drawing everyone’s attention.
Kent opened his eyes and stood up.
He looked toward the center of the platform and saw the space there warping.
’The gate is opening.’
Like everyone else, he also thought that. His focus was rooted in the shifts in the air. He didn’t even notice the thousands of eyes looking at him.
Five minutes later, the space shifted, and two large pillars ca from the ground. They stood tall, and within them, a green portal ford, exuding a distinct aura that, when Kent felt it, caused his expression to shift.
’This is not the Aura of the Primordial Era; however, it is of the Divine Era.’ Instinctively, he knew which era the aura ca from. In fact, his very being was filled with excitent as he gazed at the green portal.
’I have lived during the Divine Era, that much is true. But I don’t yet know which kind of existence I was in back then.’
Kent sighed, then asked Pill Monarch Nefeli a question using the soul map.
’Big sister, what can you tell about the Divine Era?’
The beautiful Nefeli blinked a few tis, not expecting Kent to ask such a question. However, she seed to connect the dots quickly...
’Do you think the Pill Ascension Realm ca from that Era?’ she asked...
’It is a working theory. But yes. I believe it is from that Era, and hopefully, I might learn sothing from your answer.’
’I don’t know much. However, from what I know, the Divine Era followed imdiately after the Chaos Era.
Of course, many people are unaware of this, but the Chaos Era was largely a response to the aftermath of the Great War during the Primordial Era.
Imdiately after the Chaos Era, a more peaceful and relaxing Era erged, where gods rose and ascended, bringing order to the Universe.
It was a peaceful Era to so degree; however, it also had its dangers.’
’I see. Then, can you tell so notable people who rose through that Era and what they were known for?’
Kent wasn’t looking to learn more about himself; he just wanted to learn more about the Era he felt so form of familiarity with.
’Now that you ntion it, I believe your theory about the Pill Ascension Realm being from the Divine Era might just be correct.’
’How so?’ Kent felt happy hearing this.
’Because the first ever to ascend to the ranks of a Pill Celestial was from that Era. It was through him that Alchemy developed to the stage it is now.’
’Do you know his na?’ Kent held his breath as he waited for an answer...
’From the records I read, he was called many nas, and he had many titles. However, the most common na I saw was Pill Celestial Kevin Sage.’
Kent’s body shuddered at the sound of a familiar na.
When Vexthra sent him to Sonox, the pill records he received were from a person called Pill Celestial Kevin Sage.
Initially, Kent didn’t put much thought into the na. However, when he began receiving mories of his life as Jest (Lord Genesis), he couldn’t help but wonder if he was, in fact, the Pill Celestial who was the first to reach the Pinnacle of Alchemy.
’I an, it is no coincidence I have the Pill Records from him. And while Nana intentionally said nothing about the na of her master in the past, I believe my theory might just be true...
’In that case, Kevin Sage, or whoever your na is, please have so relationship with this Pill Ascension Realm. It would be nice to learn more about my peaceful past.’
’Thank you, Big sister,’ Kent transmitted, and Pill Monarch Nefeli nodded.
’Just be careful when you go in there. There are a lot of people who want you dead, so watch your back.’
Kent smiled, ’I will do as you say, Big sister.’
A couple of minutes later, the portal completely ford, and a pillar marked with two colors appeared through the portal.
The bottom part was silver, and the upper had a golden hue.
A voice then ca from within the portal. "Channel your soul energy into the Soul Pillar. All who reached the Golden Soul barrier will be allowed entry."
The words were simple and easily understood.
Right when it faded, a Pill Legend from the Solaryn Pill Alliance appeared above the soul pillar.
"As we all know, the order in which we take the trial will be based on the rank of our respective Pill Alliances. Now, the first-rank Pill Alliance should start."
The Solaryn Pill Alliance qualified disciples stepped forward, and soon, the trial to enter the Pill Ascension Realm began.
