2026-01-20 10:46:41 +0000 UTCYes but it will turn them into " lesser primeval floorboards ( legendary)"

2026-01-20 09:03:40 +0000 UTCIndeed a work of pure art and genius. This story is well written with great world building and every side character is interesting in its own. The foreshadowing is insane and i have yet to find a single plot hole lol. i like the fact that we only get status updates on the MC yet vague updates on the other powerhouses, it leaves much room for imagination. Sylphie is the absolute bestest character BESIDES MINAGA and the bloodline cheater. This story deserves an anime and i can hardly wait ;;D

2026-01-20 06:45:51 +0000 UTCKind of hilarious to know he blew up his lab like thousands of times though! ;;D Proper alchemy stuff right there! But from inferior to mythical is OP!

2026-01-19 23:06:35 +0000 UTCBy the time we see Jake’s nephew again he will be in his 20’s if not older depending on when he visits with them again. I’m loving this buildup and upgrading to his alchemy. I look forward to seeing what kind of nonsense Jake creates that breaks the multiverse economy with his lesser primeval energy. Should prove to be hilarious if Zog deems it worthy to give us. TFTC!

Aidan Moltrup
2026-01-19 22:55:58 +0000 UTCI think the real question here is whether Jake is still going to be able to get blood out of his floorboards with this upgrade. 🤔
Don Peligro
2026-01-19 21:01:51 +0000 UTCI feel like it would have been more impactful if it upgraded to unique rarity. Makes it in line with the lesser primeval origin energy skill. I am not sure though. By the way I am not trying to say this chapter is bad by any means, in fact I love these kinds of chapters, just that it feels less impactful otherwise. I do feel like just including the lesser primeval origin definitely puts it in the realm of mythical, just that mythical might not be the best fit in the naming convention to keep it impactful.

2026-01-19 20:58:13 +0000 UTCit'd lowkey be hilarious if he can't do basic purify water anymore bc of this primeval stuff lol
Josie
2026-01-19 19:20:24 +0000 UTCI don't know how to feel about it becoming Mythical. The Mythical rarity is starting to lose its luster to me. I don't know if that is good or bad as it just seems to be happening more and more now. Maybe it shows his growth but who knows?
Azayrian105
2026-01-19 19:04:49 +0000 UTCEh Vilas actually discouraged him from reaching out to the Gate more than necessary as he is still vastly underprepared and underpowered to deal with the purity and multitude of concepts there. He told him to meditate, thats completely different. Just because Jake can use Meditation to visit the gate again, he should do so very sparingly and cautiously as he still incurs soul damage if exposed too long. Also, he is not walking in the footsteps of the First Sage at all, he is using his guidance and teachings but for his own path. Again, something completely different.

2026-01-19 18:58:37 +0000 UTCTFTC :) Suggested edits: "yet with a single one, he’d *create* that Gold Mote" should be "created"
Xander
2026-01-19 18:54:58 +0000 UTCThe creativity needed to write these kinds of chapters is really impressive We're all sitting here reading about a fictitious guy in a fictitious world who's trying to improve a fictitious skill in the fictitious art of alchemy Yet there's so much detail about the experimentation, methodology, course correction in mindset, and finally success that we're able to nod along at the logic of the whole process and go "Oh, impressive. Look what this guy accomplished!" All that to say, thank you for the depth of this chapter 🙏
Josie
2026-01-19 18:53:56 +0000 UTCinferior straight to mythical, moving crazy
Jelani Willock
2026-01-19 17:34:55 +0000 UTC"wasted" brother he is a B grade. A year is fuckin light speed for this kind of endeavor
AetherBoye
2026-01-19 17:29:00 +0000 UTCHe wasted a whole year at this?
Keldra
2026-01-19 17:22:22 +0000 UTCWhile sitting over a cauldron is Duskleafs favourite ... Jake should listen to Vilastromoz, and go to the Gate of Enlightenment, as pure strength without concepts will weigh him down. After all, he is literally walking in the footsteps of the First Sage.
Bjarne Hansen
2026-01-19 17:06:23 +0000 UTCYeah this skill sounds suspiciously like what happened in that fight. Using lesser elements or whatever as fuel? Check. Using the energy to crack into higher level concepts and records (his theory on how origin energy works) check.
Nathaniel France
2026-01-19 16:56:53 +0000 UTCThat's true. An explosion that only lightly obliterated all the skin off one hand is hardly enough to be a danger to his new super palate. He should 100% keep some iron flakes in there for a while to see if palate and sageacity can glean some hints towards their potential usage and maybe even refine them to a more stable/usable ingredient.
Shandlar
2026-01-19 16:56:40 +0000 UTCNah, he 100% doesnt care about the price of these items at all.
Numbzy
2026-01-19 16:45:53 +0000 UTCI’m right there with you. Imagine what he’s going to do with all those skills you mentioned when he stays using all the amazing materials he’s been stockpiling. He has the dragon heart, desolation core, El Haken heart, and the yip-of-yor snack that Villy made him! As a side, I know I’m missing way more stuff too. Could definitely use an entire week’s worth of chapters so Jake can sit down and make an inventory of all his hoarded goods and make a high level plan about what he will do with them all!
Anomander_Rake
2026-01-19 16:15:49 +0000 UTCMaybe he can use the lesser primeval energy on his skills, maybe on his race or maybe try to replicate what happened against valdemar. Im excited
tomtom
2026-01-19 16:15:22 +0000 UTCI am very highly expecting Jake to do something more ridiculous than normal relatively soon

2026-01-19 15:53:07 +0000 UTCVilly's quietly chanting, "keep using basic ingredients."
Aaron Hicks

Mikerz
2026-01-19 15:43:30 +0000 UTCCan't wait for Jake and Arnold to make a new katar of of primeval voidiron or something batty like that

Arieh Sochaczevski
2026-01-19 14:48:57 +0000 UTCHmm.. Can he eat his new creations to learn their alchemical uses? Palate hasn't really debuted its improved skills, so it'd be fun to test it here. Or since the motes/flecks have his Bloodline would eating them just give him a tummy ache? Jake's good at surviving explosions anyway, so I'm sure it'll be fine 😅 Also, I wonder which Legacy he used Invocation on? Pride I guess? I hope Villy got some fun Records from it
Josie
2026-01-19 14:46:35 +0000 UTCI feel like it's important to remember that Jake is literally one of the best new talents in his entire new universe, he does a crap load of things at high conceptual levels and his bloodline gives him an extra push in the things it helps with which is practically everything boosting him even further. Most of his skills didn't even make sense to have as a "normal" C-Grade.
Ben Cox
2026-01-19 14:41:39 +0000 UTChonestly wouldn't be shocked if the lesser primeval energy skill also upgraded along side purification
phil
2026-01-19 14:39:25 +0000 UTCCan u imagine giving arnold some of those primeval metals… i think he might kiss jake…

Ben Cox
2026-01-19 14:38:36 +0000 UTCA jump in skill upgrade similar to the arcane soul flame. Look forward to the shit Jake makes with this. Scared meditation, supreme soul flame, now primeval purification. Jake has a lot of strong fundamental skills that can bring him farther up. There is so much potential here.

Mitha
2026-01-19 14:14:39 +0000 UTCLol, you know full well that he doesn't even notice levels when he's that zoned in. After all he missed nearly an entire floor in Nevermore when leveling one of his archery skills.
Chelsa Roberts
2026-01-19 14:09:37 +0000 UTCWhy give a B-grade an item that was created from a creature that walked on the empyrean steps?
Ray Light
2026-01-19 13:40:55 +0000 UTCI'd rather see him make a piece of armour that grows with him. Perhaps even transmuting his cape to detect umbra's location instead of the other way around (making it detect it's origin hehe)
Ray Light
2026-01-19 13:39:36 +0000 UTCHe must have gained a lot of levels and a title for making so many legendary alchemical reagents. Also interesting that origin conceptually is so much stronger than successive iterations through evolution. Usually things grow and get better than being watered down and the origin isn't better just more pure with less weight.

IntenseSushi
2026-01-19 13:33:42 +0000 UTChope there is a title related to make a inferior rarity skill end mythical in a single upgrade
zran
2026-01-19 13:31:44 +0000 UTCNice , I hope he can use these skills to preform more transmutes, I really miss his experience when he made Eternal hunger , how cool if he made a new katar since he already have 2 pinnacle weapons that grows with him
Saleh Alhasan
2026-01-19 13:30:34 +0000 UTCWould be cool if jake could replicate something like upgrade tokens but make for origin stuff. To give out or use
Sammot
2026-01-19 13:30:10 +0000 UTCHe's a feeler, not a thinker. I'm impressed he managed to realise that the Almighty Best Stat Perception wasn't the guy for the job, or that he didn't just keep using Perception and instincts only anyway
RedFaux
2026-01-19 13:29:04 +0000 UTCI wonder if the version for full on Primeval Origin Energy will be the skill rarity above mythical that isn't divine related that Villy couldn't tell Jake about

Ty Cooper
2026-01-19 13:19:44 +0000 UTCBit off topic, but I can't help but wonder when Villy is gonna give Jake the Yip of Yore snack he set aside for him. I always had the idea it was gonna be early B grade for some reason

Meir Banon
2026-01-19 13:16:50 +0000 UTCEven if Jake had taken all the energy inside of a million such gold bars and merged them into a single one, he would never have met the threshold in Records or energy to become a legendary item, yet with a single one, he’d create(d) that Gold Mote.

2026-01-19 12:50:18 +0000 UTCJake actually annoyed me with this one. Did he at any time ask himself, "why didn't sylphies egg blow up?". Seems like he could have gotten somewhere a lot faster with a little more thought.

Loststar7
2026-01-19 12:41:30 +0000 UTCwhat do you reckon is the highest increase in skill level in all of history? cause jake got inferior all the way to mythical. the only way i can see this being beat by a god that has a random inferior skill and upgrades it to sacred on above.
Dhia
2026-01-19 12:39:14 +0000 UTCI think his alchemists flame did as well when he incorporated his soul flame.
Fyrtue
2026-01-19 12:38:15 +0000 UTCWell then good to see that he’s finally starting to truly forge his own personal alchemy legacy and that purification skill looks great but yeah I really can’t wait to see how op his potions and poisons become after he upgrades his potion crafting with primal ingredients heck he might straight up upgrade his potion crafting skill maybe even poison crafting oh man imagine how strong his poisons are going to be
Phoenixdrop
2026-01-19 12:32:28 +0000 UTCI can see a great future for his bow
