BXBX NOVEL Chapter 667 - (2/2) Concoct
Draco was panting heavily, he had long stopped his brew and let it ruin as his mind rumbled. He thought rapidly as he realized that he had finally found the path forward that had not only eluded him, but hundreds of Grandmasters since time immemorial had agonized over.
How to become a God of a Tradeskill?!
In truth, some Grandmasters had achieved the way forward, due to special bloodline abilities or something similar that allowed them to view into the atomic realm. However, Those bastards had either kept it themselves or had not even capitalized on it.
Just knowing the way forward wasn\'t enough. It also required practice, talent, and skill. How most Gods of Tradeskills even came about was those who ascended to Divinity through both Combat Rank and Source Origin while practicing a Tradeskill.
For example, take Draco. Without this enlightenment, he would still have become a God of Blacksmithing and co because, at Rank 6, he would obtain the Source Origin of a Divine Rank Dragon.
When he became a god, any Tradeskills at the Grandmaster Rank would automatically ascend to godhood because he would have divine Power and Divine Energy with which to forge, concoct, etc.
This was what most Grandmasters and Tradeskill practitioners assumed, because it was the only difference between the two Ranks. Master and below used Worldly, Grandmaster used Aetheric and God used Divine.
It was simple enough to understand, wasn\'t it?
However, Draco had just found that there was an alternate path. One that was just as tough as ascending to Godhood, but would yield arguably the same results!
Draco coined this Atomic Crafting on the spot, while he labeled the \'traditional\' method, Divine Crafting. Since this was only theory and hadn\'t been achieved, there were no system announcements or acknowledgment by the AI, but Draco knew it was likely furiously working and calculating everything.
Taking a deep breath, he decided to pursue this later. As of now, he worked on his Gender Change potion stoically, taking it seriously while he worked so as to ensure perfection.
Due to the sheer level of focus and the quality of available energy in the Morningstar World, this was a grand success! In fact, Draco was pleasantly surprised by what came out.

It had been a while since he had caused a system announcement for creating something new, and it couldn\'t help but bring back fond memories of the times he had caused hundreds of players worldwide to cough blood in anger and defeat at his superiority.
Back then, they had lived in perpetual fear of the next announcement, beaten day by day until they became numb.
Draco couldn\'t help but sigh… such good times!
However, he refocused on his task. With this potion in hand, he gathered Eva and Roma and teleported onto the nearest hospitable planet where Roma had placed the Sentinels.
It was a lush green wood element-type planet with endless forests, pools, lakes, and small seas here and there. The Sentinels seemed to be completely at peace here, living life slowly and banally as they created on territory and lived each day without any stress due to abundant food and resources.
This was good, Draco thought. The less they had to struggle and fight, the more they would be domesticated and lose their furious and murderous edge, allowing them to be harvested with ease.
Draco looked around and saw that the Luck Sentinel was currently milling about near a secluded location, waiting for a certain glowing herb to ripen.
｢Power Breaker Divine Flower – Consumable
Rank: Divine (50% effectiveness)
Effect: This herb allows a person to break any seals or shackles on themselves and exercise their full power regardless of where they are.｣
Draco and Eva\'s faces became colorful while Roma\'s face changed. When the Luck Sentinel noticed that it was being watched, it froze like deer caught in headlights, realizing that it had severely fucked up in its impatience.
It tried to grab the unripe herb and consume what was there, its movements halted as time was stopped around it. It was then dragged over to hover before the White-haired Duo, where Eva slowly pressed a hand to its forehead.
Immediately, the time for the Luck Sentinel resumed, but it rather knelt before Eva subserviently. Eva nodded with satisfaction as Draco tossed the Procreator Potion down its throat.
They watched in morbid fascination as the Luck Sentinel began to shiver and tremble in pain and agony, its body slimming slightly as muscle mass was consumed to create functioning reproductive organs.
Eventually, it grew a long donger that was about twice the size of a human leg, but quite average for something of its relative size. Draco realized that he would have to work a bit more on the potion so that the consumers to achieve better sexual prowess than this.
Done suffering, it rose to its feet once more and knelt before Eva. Eva turned to Draco who nodded to her. Then, the Homines was summoned over from another part of the inner Universe, where Eva kept it and the dark miasma from her time at The Bazaar.
The Homines. They were remnant species of a race that a True God tried to craft but got bored halfway and dropped the matter. Hence, they had no facial features or aside from being humanoid. They could switch between male and female at a whim, and they never aged, never ate, never slept, never thought, never spoke.
They could be whatever you wanted them to be at any point in time, the perfect servile race. They were a featureless race that looked like a mannequin without a face. If anyone of any race mated with them, they would give birth to a perfect bloodline descendant with no traits from the Homines since they were incomplete and only had a cloning genome.
When the Homies appeared, it was in male form. Eva pointed to the Luck Sentinel that was standing there like a brainless idiot.
"You are to continually mate with that thing and drink this potion after each insemination and then this one right after that."
Eva tossed two potions towards them right after the other. One was emerald in color while the other was golden-white.
｢Instant Gestation – Consumable
Rank: Legendary (100% effectiveness)
Effect: This potion severely decreases the average gestation time for any female species by 95%, at a cost of their lifespan for exactly how much time is cut down.｣
｢Goddess\' Kiss – Consumable
Rank: Legendary (100% effectiveness)
Effect: Restore 100% Health, Mana, Stamina, Focus, Lifespan, and all organic energies. Increase Health, Mana, Stamina, Focus, Lifespan, and all organic energy regeneration by 100% for 1 day.｣
The first was to shorten the birth time, obviously and the second was to restore the damage dealt by using the first potion. Whatever the case, once the Homines received the items, it suddenly grew in size to match the Luck Sentinel and transformed into a voluptuous female with crazy curves, but no features.
Draco then accelerated time around the two, creating a new dilation. It was not the same as when he did it for himself and Eva, because the AI had to match time with reality and not let their minds shatter.
However, these sentinels and the area in which the dilation covered was its own resources, so it could easily speed up time as that was merely simulation for it in a meta sense.
So for Roma, Eva, and Draco, all Draco did was turn his hand clockwise, but for the Sentinel and the Homines, they got busy, then one got pregnant, drank the first potion, gave birth, then drank the second.
So when the fast forward stopped, the Luck Sentinel was standing by the side idly, while the Homines was cradling a mini Luck Sentinel that was a baby. Draco and Eva were satisfied by the success of their experiment, and the baby Luck Sentinel was taken by Draco.
The Homines didn\'t seem to care as it had no personality, and would only follow orders, while the Luck Sentinel was completely mind-controlled by Eva.
Draco then put the baby in its own time dilation and fast forward until it grew to adulthood. An adult Luck Sentinel with 100% the same looks and stats as the previous one stood there, looking around with confusion.
It then saw Draco and Eva, then its \'parents\', and understood. It immediately tried to channel its powers of Luck inherited by its father, but Roma simply smiled and brought a cauldron out.
｢Cauldron of Evil – Active skill
Effect: Forcefully capture every enemy within a 5-mile radius, bringing them into your cauldron where they would be set on boil. Once done, they may either take damage if they pass a Luck check, or they would be turned into random resources or items of any kind or grade.
Cooldown: 1 hour.｣
"Everyone, into the pot!
Boil until it is searing hot,
Until sweet and succulent for my sot,
Everyone, into the pot!
Simmer within the brew,
Your meat will be soft to chew,
Stir rigorously for a nice stew,
Everyone, into the pot!"
