Chapter 609 The Human Race's Weapon Refining Master
Venerable Guiyi stood respectfully before the Lord of Chaos City, his heart filled with trepidation.
He knew that his teacher was extremely busy and would not easily summon him. This time, the exception must be for those high-level treasures.
"Master, I have heard that thirty-five new high-grade treasures have been added to our clan's treasure vault. Is this true?"
Venerable Guiyi asked cautiously, afraid of offending the Lord of Chaos City by speaking out of turn.
The Lord of Chaos stroked his beard, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes, but his face remained calm as he said, "That is indeed the case."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Guiyi became even more curious and pressed on, "May I ask, Master, where did these treasures come from? Could it be that some cosmic lord encountered something extraordinary in the cosmic sea?"
The Lord of Chaos City smiled mysteriously and shook his head. "No, it was crafted by a newly joined master craftsman who contributed all these treasures to our race."
"A newly joined master craftsman?" Venerable Guiyi exclaimed in surprise, then lowered his voice and said, "Could it be the God of Crafts? But he's not..."
"Not the master of the God of Crafts."
The Lord of Chaos interrupted him, saying, "It is not convenient to reveal the identity of this master for the time being. You only need to know that our human race now has a master who can refine high-grade treasures. Moreover, the materials needed to refine high-grade treasures only require 80% of the materials of the God of Crafts!"
"Of course, this is a requirement for our human race and the Hong Alliance. If other alien races come to request the crafting of supreme treasures, then their material requirements will be the same as those of the God of Crafts!"
Although Venerable Guiyi had doubts, he dared not ask any more questions and could only respectfully withdraw.
No sooner had he left than the founder of the giant axe walked in, laughing loudly.
"Chaos, the news you released has really scared those old guys half to death! Hahaha!"
The avatar of the founder of the giant axe sat on a stone chair, his eyes filled with joy.
The human race has gained another master craftsman, and in terms of value, this is no less than gaining an additional supreme treasure.
"It's good to intimidate them, so they won't keep eyeing my human territory all the time," the Chaos City Lord said calmly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
The founder of the giant axe stopped laughing, and his expression became serious. "However, I'm afraid the God of Crafts will not let this go so easily."
All the conditions proposed by Chu Yang were benchmarked against those of the God of Craftsmen, and were much more lenient than those of the God of Craftsmen. Anyone could guess that this move was intended to steal the limelight from the God of Craftsmen.
The Lord of Chaos City nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to negotiate with him. I hope he can understand."
At the same time, a message spread throughout the universe at an astonishing speed:
A mysterious master craftsman has emerged among the human race, capable of forging high-grade treasures!
Of course, if you want this master to refine a supreme treasure, you must join the human camp, namely the Hongmeng!
Moreover, the conditions for refining supreme treasures are much more lenient than those under the God of Crafts!
The news sent shockwaves throughout the universe.
The eyes of countless strong individuals from weaker groups ignited with the flame of hope.
They have always been hampered by a lack of treasures, making it difficult for them to improve their strength.
Many cosmic lords of various races have been hesitant to venture out due to the ties they hold onto, resulting in a pitifully small number of treasures in their possession. Some even lack any treasures altogether.
Such examples are not one or two, but many.
The entire primordial universe contained billions of races, and there were thousands of races that possessed a cosmic ruler.
However, not all races occupy vast territories like the six top races.
Most of them rely on these top-tier clans, and some clans have formed several alliances, such as the Nine Domains Alliance and the Northern Frontier Alliance.
Of course, the majority are those free groups that have not joined any alliances or top powers, but similarly, they lack the source of supreme treasures.
In fact, almost no race would complain about having too many treasures, even the most powerful races are no exception.
Now, the human race has produced a master who can refine high-level treasures, which is undoubtedly a very good thing for the many races in the primordial universe.
In an instant, powerful figures from various free races flocked to the human territory, eager to find out what was going on.
Among them are some cosmic overlords, or even cosmic masters!
Of course, there were also some alien races who harbored ill intentions towards the human race. They secretly sent spies to try to find out the true identity of this weapon-refining master.
There was even a lord of the universe who went to the God of Craftsmanship to seek an audience with the Lord of the God of Craftsmanship and ask if it was related to him.
Craftsman God Star, a planet entirely composed of strange metals, also contains a top-tier treasure.
This place is not only the residence of the God of Crafts, but also a sacred place for crafting weapons in the universe.
At this moment, however, a gloomy atmosphere prevailed.
The Master of Crafts, this great being who stands at the pinnacle of the weapon-refining world in the primordial universe, is listening to his disciple's report with a gloomy expression.
"Teacher, according to the latest intelligence, the human race claims to have a new master craftsman who can forge high-grade treasures. Moreover, powerful individuals who join the Hong Alliance can apply to this master to forge treasures for them. The materials required are 20% less than what you would need, and the process will take no more than a thousand epochs!"
The reporting cosmic venerable was trembling with fear, as if he were facing not his teacher, but a volcano about to erupt.
"Hmph, he thinks he can forge a high-grade treasure in a thousand epochs? Does he really think he can keep going like that? Even if he could, he'd end up like a weapon-forging machine! He wouldn't be able to improve anymore!"
The God of Crafts was somewhat angry, not because the human race had gained a master craftsman, but because this master craftsman had no bottom line.
In fact, the six top clans had invited him countless times, but the God of Craftsmen had always refused.
"Lord of Chaos City, what does your human race mean by this?" The voice of the God of Craftsman was deep, and sitting opposite him was a figure wearing a thousand-treasure robe.
This figure was the avatar of the Lord of Chaos City. He cupped his hands and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Lord of the God of Crafts, I am only considering the development of the human race and have no intention of targeting anyone. I have come here to explain to you!"
Moreover, that master's weapon-forging skills are truly extraordinary, and the material requirements are much lower, which is a tremendous boon for humanity.
The Lord of Chaos City added, "To be honest, Lord of the God of Crafts, this master craftsman was actually a cosmic lord of our human race. However, he unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of a powerful figure from countless reincarnation eras ago. I cannot tell you which one it was!"
You should also know that we can't invite someone from another universe to come!
Upon hearing this, the God of Craftsmen's expression finally softened somewhat.
Indeed, for the Lord of Chaos City to come and explain to the God of Craftsmen is already enough to show his sincerity. From another perspective, if a powerful figure from another race were to be born who could refine high-level treasures, they might not necessarily come to explain to him.
After all, no matter how skilled the God of Craftsmen was in weapon crafting, his true strength wasn't that great!
In the end, it all comes down to fists!
"You humans are truly blessed by nature!" the God of Crafts said with a sigh.
The news continued to spread throughout the human territory, with various speculations emerging one after another.
Some say that the God of Crafts secretly joined the human race, while others say that the human race obtained a great opportunity within the primordial star.
At the same time, the three top clans also received the news.
"Thirty-five more high-grade treasures at once! What incredible luck has the human race had?"
Within the demon race, a cosmic lord with a tiger's head and a human body spoke with a tone filled with jealousy and anger.
"Hmph, no matter where they got it from, we must find a way to get our hands on it! Several of my race's cosmic overlords already lack a suitable treasure!" A cosmic lord exuding an icy aura said coldly.
Amidst the deafening roar of the mechanical race, a mechanical cosmic ruler spoke in a cold, electronic voice: "Analysis results show that the human race has obtained a large number of high-level treasures, significantly increasing their strength and raising their threat level. We recommend taking measures to suppress them."
A similar situation occurred with the Zerg, and all the rulers of the universe received the news and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
The three dominant races are secretly plotting how to diminish the influence of the human race.
After the God of Craftsmen departed, the Chaos City Lord's avatar dissipated, and his true form opened its eyes in the Chaos City.
The news of the weapon-refining master caused a stir within the human territory, with all sorts of rumors flying around, leaving him somewhat amused and exasperated.
However, this was within his expectations.
In the days that followed, news kept pouring in. What surprised him most was that a large number of weak races, some races whose strongest members were only Universe Venerables, and even some Universe Overlords, were flocking to the human territory and requesting to join the Hong Alliance.
In just a few months, the human territory became bustling with activity, with posts of all kinds of requests for help, applications, and even threats popping up one after another.
"Great Hong Alliance, I am the patriarch of the Blood Clan. My clan is willing to join the Hong Alliance as a whole, seeking only the protection of a supreme treasure!"
"Respected human powerhouse, I am a rogue cultivator, a Universe Venerable, willing to join the Hong Alliance and serve humanity. I only request a high-grade treasure... Of course, I have already prepared all the materials needed to refine the treasure!"
"If the human race doesn't grant my request, I will lead my people to join the demon race! Then, hmph..."
Looking at this information, the Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
These weaker races and rogue cultivators, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed madly toward the human race.
The allure of high-grade treasures was simply too great for them.
……
In the virtual universe, the high-ranking members of the human race gathered together. Lord Lan Cang roared in a gruff voice, "Chaos, these guys are really opportunists! They just follow the wind wherever it blows! When our human race was weak, they all avoided us like the plague, but now that they hear we can refine high-level treasures, they're all eager to come to us!"
The Lord of Chaos City smiled and said, "Lord of Lanzang, you can't say that. They are just trying to survive. The universe is cruel, and it is already difficult for weak races. Now that they have an opportunity, they naturally want to seize it."
"That being said, we can't accept everyone who comes, otherwise it will place a huge burden on Hongmeng."
The Lord of Ice Peak frowned and said, "Moreover, who knows if there are spies from other top-tier clans among them?"
"I suggest setting a threshold," said Master Peng. "The strength must reach the level of a Universe Venerable, and one must swear an oath not to betray humanity."
"I agree with Engineer Peng's proposal." The Lord of Darkness nodded and said, "But an oath is not enough. In addition, we need them to provide some geniuses from their clan to send to Chaos City for cultivation."
"Sending geniuses to the Chaos City in the primordial universe for cultivation?" Some universe lords asked, puzzled, "Why is that?"
"Firstly, the unique nature of Chaos City can help these races cultivate talent. Secondly, it can also be used as hostages to prevent the powerful members of their races from betraying them."
The Chaos City Lord explained, "This is a common tactic used by several top-tier races; we can learn from it."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. It was indeed a good idea. After all, the Hong Alliance was led by the human race, and the others were vassal races. The order could not be disrupted. With so many 'hostages' in Chaos City, the powerful figures of those races would also be wary.
"Then it's settled!"
The Chaos City Lord made the decision: "Next, it's about how to select these people and how to allocate the time for refining high-grade treasures."
The lords of the universes hurriedly looked at Chu Yang at the very end: "Lord of All Laws, what is your opinion? The main reason why our human race has attracted all races to submit this time is because of you!"
Chu Yang shrugged indifferently and said, "Let my senior brother handle this. I'll just focus on refining the supreme treasure!"
In fact, Chu Yang did gain something, and he was even hoping that more alien races would come to him to refine treasures. Chu Yang planned to refine a set of treasures, and the few dozen ordinary treasures he had were not enough.
According to the requirements set by the Chaos City Lord, each alien race that joins the Hong Alliance and wants to refine a supreme treasure must contribute 1.6 units of materials, or other materials of equal value. The extra 0.6 units, once refined, will belong to Chu Yang.
Don't underestimate this 0.6 portions. If one alien race refines one item, Chu Yang will have 0.6 portions more. If a thousand alien race experts come, Chu Yang will have 600 more portions of materials to refine the treasure!
For Chu Yang, refining so many treasures would only take a little more time.
Chu Yang planned to refine a set of array flags for the Zhou Tian Star Array, but the stars in the Devouring World were not like those in the Primordial World, so Chu Yang planned to directly refine 365 special treasures to replace them.
The Lord of Chaos City gently rubbed his temples; ultimately, it was up to him to clean up this mess.
Humanity is now highly sought after in the primitive universe, but this highly sought-after prize is also a hot potato.
He opened the virtual universe network and began to arrange the screening process.
The selection criteria are extremely stringent: being crowned an immortal king is the bare minimum, and potential, loyalty, and even the overall strength of the race must be assessed.
As a result, all the major universe rulers of the Virtual Universe Company, except for the Lord of Darkness, have participated.
After all, some races also have universe lords, and these powerful beings should naturally be treated by other universe lords.
The other major forces were not idle either. The Virtual Universe Company was mainly responsible for the review, while the four major forces, including the Giant Axe Arena, went to various territories to guard and take over the affairs.
Meanwhile, Chu Yang leisurely stayed in the miniature universe of the giant axe, beginning to refine the first batch of high-grade treasures.
In his hands, clumps of colorful materials were kneaded and shaped like dough, with various laws of power intertwining and fusing, radiating a dazzling light.
"Let's make ten pieces for the first batch! It'll probably take about ten thousand years."
Chu Yang muttered to himself.
The materials in his hands were provided by the human universe overlords and some alien powerhouses who had recently joined the Hong Alliance. Most of them were materials for armor and weapons. After all, such precious materials were in low demand and relatively easy to collect, and were also relatively simple to refine.
Chu Yang casually waved his hand, and a battle blade crackling with lightning appeared in his hand.
"Hmm, not bad. The power of this 'Thunder Battle Blade' is comparable to the best among high-grade treasures."
Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction, then began refining the next treasure. (End of Chapter)
