Blacksmithing is next

When Ragna heard Huifen's pledge he was stunned by the words, and the conviction she had displayed. The system suddenly spoke in Ragna's mind.

"Hey partner, your able to gain another wife aren't you happy?" The system with its upbeat voice started teasing him, but Ragna was too focused on Huifen to care about what the system was saying. Ragna closed his eyes and sighed, he looked at Huifen assessing her. Huifen looked into his eyes, staring directly at him, her smile never fading.

"Will you be able to follow me as I conquer all?" Ragna suddenly asked, ever since he got the Overpowered System he always wondered what he would use it for. For now he still had no clue what the system wants nor what he himself wants. Yet Ragna felt something deep down... There was an unknown passion that suddenly surface telling him to conquer or destroy. Some part of him is telling him this was a ploy of the system, but even so the pull was too great.

The people who heard Ragna were stunned, saying something like that was equivalent to treason. Still for some reason when the people heard Ragna's deep voice, and the authority his presence was emitting, the people started to feel excited as if Ragna could truly do as he said.

'Ding' "Congratulations host for earning 50,000 O.P points. Heh your actually saying some cool lines."

The system added something new to his usual lines, yet Ragna still ignored him.

Huifen hearing what Ragna said, looking at his serious eyes, as well as feeling the authority in his presence, she started becoming excited. 'This person who knows unknown knowledge wants to conquer? I wonder what kind of place will be produced when he rules? Will he bring a new age and show me the path closer to the truth?'

"It doesn't matter where you go. I will follow you and witness the day you conquer all, I will do so for you and the truth I seek." Huifen then stood tall and replied to Ragna with utmost confidence.

"Then will you not flee, as I crush the heavens itself, and shatter it under my anger?" Ragna said as he looked upward, lifted his right arm, and clenched it.

This time the crowd grew even more frenzied. They knew everything Ragna was saying right now was blasphemous, yet they started to grow excited. The couldn't understand what they were feeling at the moment. Ragna was an enemy of the Empire based on what he said, he was an enemy to the very heavens, and most of all he was an enemy of themselves, as he took their Goddess away. Yet for some reason Ragna was pulling them in his pace, they wanted to see the future were he would lord over everything. Even the Transcending Mortality experts found it strange that they were actually feeling excited at every crazy word Ragna said, it was as if some invisible force was compelling them to do so.

'Ding' "Congratulations partner that's another 50,000 O.P points. Just keep this up and you'll be able to regain all the points you just used." The system chortled.

"I will not back down, even if you make the very heavens itself your enemy." Huifen answered with no hesitation. Ragna nodded his head, and looked at Elise and Reki.

"How about you two? What will you do if I ask you the same thing?" Surprised by the sudden question Reki started to think, and immediately came up with an answer, but before she could say anything Elise spoke.

"Kukuku, what are you saying Big brother, aren't we husband and wife? Of course I'll stand by you no matter what. If you want to conquer, then I will be your General and offer the lands to you, I will make everyone kneel before you. If you want to destroy the very heavens itself, then I will bring it down for you to reach. It doesn't matter what you wish I'll be sure to accomplish it." Elise said so with that bright smile on her face. Even though she said something amazing, her innocent looking face made it feel out of place. Ragna was surprised by Elise aggressive statement, but still nodded his head in acknowledgement.

Such a domineering answer, the crowd was in awe that such a little girl said something like that.

Ragna then looked at Reki, noticing everyone was now focusing on her, Reki started to feel nervous.

When she looked at Ragna's serious gaze, Reki was able to strengthen her determination. "I might be the weakest in this group, and I know I have done nothing to prove I can walk beside you... But I still wish to go onward and prove my worth to you, so that I can better myself. It doesn't matter if you want to conquer everything, nor does it matter if you want to lay waste to the heavens, I will do my best to stand by you."

When Ragna heard Reki's determination, he smiled at her. The system then spoke at the moment when Ragna was feeling good at what was said.

"Hey partner, when did you turn into such a ladies man?" Ragna could imagine the system snickering at him, for actually following the flow the system itself laid. Still Ragna denied that what he was feeling right now was created by the system, he believed what he was feeling right now was his and his alone.

The audience who heard the answers of the three were bewildered. Even Huifen who had met Ragna but moments ago, was actually following with this nonsense. They couldn't understand what the Genius of alchemy, their Goddess Huifen was actually thinking. Was she really in love with that crazy youth?

The elders of Immortal Cauldron sect on the other hand, knew that their sect leader wasn't truly in love with the boy. What she loved was the knowledge the boy had, it was the unknown knowledge which was closer to the truth, that attracted Huifen.

When Ragna heard all their answers he was satisfied.

"Ok then follow me, this time we're heading towards Burning Flame sect." Once Ragna said those lines, a notification popped up.

'First mission: Find a random sect, and make them admit that their ants beneath your feet. *note you cannot kill any member of the sect you attack, has been completed will you accept the reward or link the mission to another sect for bigger rewards?'

'Of course, I'll pick continue mission.'

'Warning: Failure to conquer any subsequent sect will make the mission a failure.'

'Penalty for failure: Decrease of one level.'

'Will you still continue?'

Ragna didn't even think before he answered 'of course.'
