The group left the library and arrived at the meditation area at the back.

At this moment, Stillness Sage suddenly stopped.

His gaze fell upon a meditation room, and upon seeing the elderly figure standing outside, his expression froze.

An indescribable wariness appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly bowed to the figure.

Starbound Savant also bowed.

The last trace of slight disdain in both their hearts disappeared at that moment.

What rank was Kaos? How strong was he?

They couldn't sense it at all.

But the aura radiating from him made the two elders immediately understand.

This was an existence of the highest taboo!

Kaos glanced at the two of them.

Just one glance.

The two's Heart of God trembled, their faces turning pale in an instant.

Kaos turned and walked away.

"Your Excellency!"

Gloria called a few times.

Only then did the two return to their senses, giving Gloria a pale smile and bowing solemnly.

This time, their posture was utterly sincere.

One glance had shattered all their defenses...

Even Divine Oracle couldn't achieve that!

It was easy to imagine how strong this elder was!

They dared not think further.

With such an existence operating in the academy, what could they still be proud of?

The tiny glimpse they had seen of this iceberg had completely stunned them.

They had finally seen a glimpse of the Crossbridge Empire's and Aurek's true depth.

God Realm, OlympianGod Mountain.

In a temple,

Sazin had just broken through to the near-God General rank when a God General, glowing with holy light, walked out.

Sazin immediately bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, General Zuurul!"

"Mm! God Mountain has locked in the coordinates of the Eura continent. Prepare yourself, we will descend to the lower realm soon."

Zuurul coldly said.

"I understand!"

Sazin was overjoyed and bowed once more.

"Also, there are a few things to deal with before we go to the Eura continent."

General Zuurul's eyes focused on Sazin, and the latter couldn't help but feel confused.

"Please speak, General!"

"Many of the strong ones who came from the Eura continent to the Light God Realm, some have even reached the God King or Sage King ranks."

"These people have sealed the passage and obstructed God Mountain. Now that God Mountain wants to descend, they will surely try to stop us."

Zuurul's gaze suddenly turned cold, dark like a venomous snake.

"I want you to lure them out and eliminate them all, to avoid further complications."

"But I don't know where they're hiding…"

Sazin furrowed his brows.

"You don't need to know where they are. All you need is for them to know where you are."

Sazin's pupils contracted sharply.

"They hate you!"

"If you spread the word that God Mountain is about to descend to the lower realm, they will definitely come after you and take action."

Sazin's heart sank as he understood.

They intended to use him as bait!

"Don't worry, I will ensure your safety. Also, you should know, there are others from the Eura continent in God Mountain, they will assist you."

"Once this task is completed, I will promote you to the Goldfire Legion."

General Zuurul lowered his voice, throwing out a tempting offer.

Sazin's eyes flashed with determination.

"Please rest assured, General. I will do everything I can to assist and eliminate these people."

"Good."

Zuurul smiled and his figure melded into the void.

Sazin stared into the void, his gaze cold.

"People rise to higher positions, but don't blame me... no one can stop the march of God Mountain. I am merely following the trend."

"If you don't die, I won't have my chance to rise."

Sacco's death when he was sent to the lower realm had nearly ruined his career.

This time, he had to seize the opportunity.

Though the risks were enormous.

After all, many of the strong ones who came from the Eura continent to the God Realm had existed for countless more years than him, and their talents were far superior.

Many had even ascended to the Sage King rank.

The dangers of being used as bait were unimaginable.

He thought of this and his suppressed anger surged once more.

If it weren't for Sacco's death, how would he have been forced into such a passive position?

Once he reached the lower realm, he would settle this score.

Starlight Valley.

The Ashen Lord personally welcomed several legendary blacksmiths from the Snail Sea at the entrance of the small world.

They were Amethyst Sage, the Heavy Weapon Blacksmith, and the Floating Island Mentor!

The former was a near-Divine Oracle.

The latter two were Divine Radiant rank 9 experts.

They were all ancient Divine Radiants, their strength and prestige were extremely high, and their forging skills had reached the peak.

If they weren't this capable, they wouldn't have been able to bear the title of ancient Divine Radiant.

"Old friends, long time no see!"

The Ashen Lord bowed solemnly.

The three returned the bow, with Amethyst Sage smiling.

"You old rascal, only when you need our help do you show your face."

"Let's catch up later, show us the materials first."

The Heavy Weapon Blacksmith was already eager to see the materials!

He was very interested in what the Ashen Lord had mentioned!

"Please follow me."

The Ashen Lord led the three into the Dwarven subworld, deep into the heart of the volcanic region.

The terrifying azure king flame scorched the void, even burning the laws to nothing.

This was the Dwarven clan's foundation—Divine Blue Flame!

The Heavy Weapon Blacksmith gazed at the three items floating in the flames, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He quickly turned to the Ashen Lord.

"Voidrealm Stone, Primordial Rune Core, Celestial Divine Gold gathered together, this is... unimaginable!"

"Where did you get these from?"

Amethyst Sage and the Heavy Weapon Blacksmith also looked at the Ashen Lord with shock.

The Ashen Lord smiled.

"I've been staying here, how could I have the ability to collect these three divine items?"

"Someone entrusted me with forging, and because the materials are so precious, I didn't want to waste them. I was unsure, so I specifically asked the three of you for help."

"Was it the Council of the Dark Order?"

The Heavy Weapon Blacksmith frowned and asked.

"It wasn't."

The Ashen Lord denied it, leaving the three confused.

Besides the Council of the Dark Order, only a few forces like the Judicatory Sanctum could present such items.

Before they could ask, the Ashen Lord spoke quietly.

"It was a faction called the Court of Darkness that delivered them. Their origins are still unknown, but their backers are definitely not simple."

"How so?"

Amethyst Sage asked, intrigued.

"They wiped out the Wings of Calamity that had been entrenched in Nisno Valley in just a few days, without provoking a counterattack from the Ossuary Court."

The Ashen Lord spoke slowly.

The three, experienced as they were, understood the difficulty upon hearing this.

The Ashen Lord continued,

"I won't be stingy in asking for your help this time!"

"I will offer the Primordial Sky Rune for the three of you to study and apply its mysteries to this forging."

"Together, we will forge an eternal, supreme artifact. This will be the culmination of our life's work and significance!"

"You old man, this time you're really generous!"

The three secretly rejoiced, but on the surface, they only smiled indifferently.

The Primordial Sky Rune was an ancient symbol inscribed on the core of an artifact, connected to the laws of the world, and could easily condense the world's essence!

The Council of the Dark Order sought to have the dwarves forge authority artifacts not only because of their forging skills but also because of this rune's existence.

"Since that's the case, let's get started."

The three no longer delayed.

For them, forging an eternal artifact was a testament to their life and an unparalleled honor.

Soon, the Ashen Lord sealed off the entire Dwarven world.

No one was allowed to leave during the forging process to avoid disruptions.

It was also to prevent outsiders from spying.

Natasha arranged for five hundred True God-ranked titans to guard the area.

The four Sacred Radiance-ranked master blacksmiths worked together, using the supreme laws to enhance the Divine Blue Flame to its peak, enveloping the three treasures and many divine materials.

The flames alone couldn't melt the Celestial Divine Gold, so the Primordial Sky Rune was required to do so.

And it wasn't just melting—it was reshaping the form.

Even this process would take at least three months!
