The world is burning, and life is fading away.

"Having taken countless lives, do you regret it?"

No, this is my plan, this is everything I've done to achieve my goal.

My dream is a paradise that belongs to us, a perfect kingdom where there is no place for anyone else.

Finally, upon reaching the core of the Earth Transmutation Array, Edward could activate this alchemy technique that brought both destruction and rebirth simply by placing his hand upon it.

The possibilities of the future unfolded before his eyes.

The most powerful alchemy ever created by an alchemist. Once activated, the four kingdoms that were sacrificed will be covered up and turned into a deathly silence within a few breaths.

"No, why us..."

"Please, you can't do this..."

"Did you hear their call?"

Yes, but I won't stop.

"All great things are forged through sacrifice; they need not understand, they will obey."

Opening his eyes, Edward was filled with determination.

With his palm touching the core, the immense spiritual power required to forge the land was no longer a problem.

He had previously designed his own brain wet component in Terminator Titan to aid in calculations.

Now, for this plan, he has created an even larger, more powerful blank brain.

Spiritual energy is injected and activated; the national territory forging array is initiated.

"Buzz..."

On this day, everyone in the world witnessed a miracle.

White light burst forth from the ground beneath their feet, and the people on the borders of the El Empire would find that a white wall of light isolated them from the outside world.

The other four countries also discovered the problem, because in addition to the light wall, there were also pillars of light rising from the ground in various places around them.

They didn't know what this was, but it gave them a very bad feeling; it might be some kind of terrifying force that could affect life.

"That place isn't the one the alchemists attacked before... Oh no, what are these guys trying to do? What other schemes are they plotting?"

Although the intelligence work of the El Empire was done very well, some people still realized the problem at this time.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

They felt an irresistible force even as they were trying to do something.

That power is draining their life force and robbing them of their souls.

Whether weak or strong, human, dwarf, orc or any other race.

Even beings like the Dharma Emperor and the God of War couldn't stop them.

Because the transmutation of the land is a transmutation technique that uses the world as a transmutation array, this power relies on the world and also benefits from the cooperation of those nodes.

The combined power is so immense that no one can resist it.

"No... Alchemists, it must be you! What do you want to do?"

The lower half of a war god had disappeared; before his consciousness faded into darkness, he was still looking in the direction of the El Empire.

He couldn't understand why they would launch an operation at this time when the war was already over.

The land-transformation array covers almost the entire continent, so even hiding in the wilderness is of no use.

"Brothers, I heard the war is over. Can we try going back?"

"Probably. Hopefully, they won't investigate the matter of us running away."

When Alice's Earth Devourer attacked the city, a few warriors who managed to escape were hiding deep in the mountains and forests.

They should be safe here.

I'm currently considering whether or not to go back.

"Maybe we should hide for a while longer. I have a bad feeling lately, maybe something bad is about to happen?"

"No way, it's not like a rock will fall from the sky and kill us, is it?"

They were still talking when they saw a burst of white light on the ground.

Good news, there was indeed no attack from the sky.

Bad news: the attack originated from the ground.

Soldier: Send.

The first step in the creation of the nation has been completed, and boundless vitality and soul have been gathered together.

Following the previous modification steps, Edward used a transmutation circle to inject the purified and refined power into the El Empire.

"What does this feel like?"

An elderly man, bedridden and knowing he was nearing the end of his life, wanted to make a will, but found that the wrinkles on his body had disappeared, and his frail body was filled with boundless strength.

"What's wrong with me?"

A bewildered soldier on the border suddenly found himself jumping five meters high with a single burst of strength; he had previously been just an ordinary person.

"What exactly is this power?"

An alchemy apprentice is battling wits with a task assigned by his mentor. One second he feels that the content in front of him is like a book written in heaven, and the next second, he seems to be able to understand part of it.

At the same time, in different places, everyone in the El Empire was evolving towards perfect life, just as Edward had envisioned.

His plan was undoubtedly a success.

OK, it's the third update. Just in time to finish the plot of "Forging the Nation," so as not to leave everyone in suspense with such a small amount of story.

Then, we'll handle the plot after the creation of the land, which involves returning to the real world and the next simulation. I'm not sure if I can make it through the fourth update.
