Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 462, Chapter 469: Dumbledore and Tyrell's Get-Rich-Quick Deal
“I see…” Tierra nodded, looking Dumbledore up and down. “I remember your Patronus is a phoenix.”

“Yes,” Dumbledore nodded.

"So, if you die... you'll most likely become a new phoenix?" Tiera asked.

"It's a sure thing," Dumbledore said, using an idiom.

“What if it can’t be changed?” Tierra asked.

“If it can’t be changed,” Dumbledore smiled, “I don’t know why, but as I’ve grown older, my spiritual and mental dimensions have also been growing. My two dimensions soon combined into a form that resembles a demon. Alas, I don’t know why.”

Tiera:
Thunderbird Chieftain:
Tierra didn't know whether this was Dumbledore's own extraordinary talent or a safety net Grindelwald had placed on him.

So Tyrell couldn't tell whether Dumbledore was showing off his extraordinary talent or his boyfriend.

"Alright, so you've met Tyella, one of the members of our Golden Book Council." Dumbledore continued, knowing when to stop. "We're actually a rather loose organization. The only requirement for joining is having a wealth of knowledge and living long enough. Once you join, you don't need to pay dues or swear an Unbreakable Charm. Knowledge is shared among members. As you said, knowledge only becomes knowledge when it flows."

“Besides the exchange of knowledge, members of the Golden Book Council also offer each other assistance.” Dumbledore glanced at Tyrell, then pulled out a list—

For some reason, Tiera suddenly felt a jolt in her heart—

“Tiera recently obtained an artificial life form from Venda Rosie, Grindelwald’s little henchman,” Dumbledore said casually. “And our little Tiera has plans to push that artificial life form onto the path to godhood soon.”

"So fast?" Ms. Wu Peirong said in surprise. "Didn't you just finish your own ritual? Is it really possible to design another ascension ceremony so soon?"

"Is the calculation complete?" Nicholas Flamel asked. "Is there enough time to verify it?"

"Are the anchor points and ties set up?" Chief Thunderbird asked.

"How stable are these artificial life forms?" Maka-Fal-Monkasa asked. "Can they withstand the immense impact of the ascension ritual?"

"Where is Hathaway Romanoff's ascension ceremony progressing?" Dumbledore stroked his beard, looked at Tyella, and asked frankly, "Tell us about your plans. We old folks can offer our advice. Everyone can contribute money or effort. Don't underestimate us just because we're old; we have all the necessary materials."

Tiera:
That old rascal is wicked. Tyella knew that Dumbledore gathering his old friends and trying to recruit him was definitely not a good thing.

Tierra really needs these materials—

To be precise, Tierra really needed these materials before the end of the school year.

Tiera's plans are formulated year by year, and some plans even take shape several years in advance.

After all, plans have to be made step by step; otherwise, if you take too big a step, "snap—" it's easy to go astray.

“You really want to know my plans?” Tierra asked with a smile. “Tell me,” Nicholas Lemaire, who was relatively familiar with Tierra, said, taking a sip of his black tea. “We old folks all want to hear your plans.”

All eyes in the room instantly focused on Tierra.

This gave Tiera the feeling of giving a research proposal.

Tierra had no choice but to use his clever little brain to make up a temporary solution:
“There are still many things that are not clear about the ascension ritual.” Tiera paused and then said, “To be precise, my ascension ritual is not representative. It is an extremely rare case. My case is not common. If you were to write a paper about it and submit it, it would be the kind of case that would be immediately thrown into the trash by the editor.”

“If we consider this whole thing as an experiment, the success of the ascension ritual is strong evidence for the three-dimensional theory of magic. However, my ascension ritual is just an isolated case. I need to repeat the experiment a lot more to get more accurate data,” Tiera said. “But Hathaway Romanoff is a rare experimental subject.”

“She’s lazy, so her level of learning in magical theory and basic mathematics is no different from that of other students,” Tiera explained with a smile. “At the same time, she has a bad temper and her mind is full of pointless fighting. Most importantly, she is just an artificial life form, so we don’t need to bear any engineering ethics burdens at all.”

"In conclusion, all of her attributes are below those of a normal wizard," Tierra said with a smile. "Therefore, I don't plan to use such a rare experimental subject to verify some boring basic theories for the time being."

“I plan to use this experimental subject, who is clearly below the average level of wizards, to explore a more universal path to godhood,” Tiera said with a smile. “Then we will obtain more detailed data from future godhoods to corroborate our theory and further analyze the ritual of godhood, or the true attributes of the divine dimension.”

"Because the experimental materials themselves are subpar, I need a large amount of precious materials to elevate them to the divine dimension," Tiera explained in conclusion. "Of course, not all of these materials will be used up; any excess will be refunded, and any deficiency will be replenished. Preparing some things in advance is definitely not a problem."

“I can understand everything else…” Now that the list has reached Chieftain Thunderbird, “but what about these 573,400 Galleons…?”

“It’s used to exchange for Sky Gold, Flowing Silver, and Pillar Copper,” Tiera said. “These are three unique metals that briefly separated the staircase from the god during the first collapse of the god, and were incorporated into the god’s body as a neutralizing agent during the second collapse to coordinate the conflict between the three staircases.”

“Of course, it doesn’t have to be Galleons. An equivalent amount of gold, gems, or a sufficient number of slaves can also be exchanged for it,” Tiera added.

The others nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Actually, Galleons are not necessary. Tiera has already become a divine being, and she ascended to that level through legitimate means. She can even create magic stones from Tiera. It's just a matter of turning stone into gold.

But that's gold, weighing the same as 350,000 Galleons!

Tiera just does nothing all day; it would take three to five months to accumulate that much gold. It's better to just mine it directly.

The same applies to most of the precious medicinal herbs and materials inside. Tierra had absolutely no need to ask Dumbledore or the members of the Golden Book Council for them. With Tierra's current abilities, a trip to Gringotts, Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, and even Nicolas Lemena's vault in France, which was practically within her reach, would have been enough for her to easily gather ninety percent of the items. However—

Come on, Tiera has become a god. If we go back to the top, Tiera is an evil god who walks on Earth. How many evil gods have you seen who personally rob and buy things?
Isn't it shameful? Isn't it beneath me?
Moreover, Tyra had to study time magic, prepare lessons on Defense Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, and Muggle Studies, and calculate and verify the details of the ascension ritual for Hathaway and Romanoff again and again. In addition, she also had to squeeze out some time to monitor and send intelligence to Voldemort. She didn't have time to haggle or rob shops.

So the picture was simply thrown at Dumbledore, who then doubled it back—

It was handed over to the Golden Book Conference.
