Chapter 374 Inviting the God of Crafts
The God of Crafts is located within an extremely dangerous secret realm called the "Yinfa Secret Realm".
Chen Yuan had never been to this place before.
When he went to the Beast God Realm before, he was accompanied by his teacher. After leaving, he did not appear near the Yinfa Secret Realm, so he could not be directly teleported there through the optimized space.
However, thanks to the speed of the Shiyuan Palace, even though the Yinfa Secret Realm was located in a remote part of the universe and was quite far from the human territory, Chen Yuan successfully arrived in just a few days.
"arrive."
After retrieving the Shiyuan Palace, Chen Yuan stood in the void, gazing at the distant spatial vortexes and a massive planet with a diameter of 3.2 trillion kilometers surrounding the center of tens of thousands of vortexes.
This planet is Craftsman God Star, but it is not a naturally formed planet. Instead, it is a top-tier flying palace-type treasure crafted by Craftsman God, and it is also the masterpiece of this renowned treasure-making master.
"With just some guidance from Master Zuoshanke back then, he was able to figure out the method of crafting a top-tier flying palace. The God of Craftsman's talent isn't as bad as his teacher said."
With Chen Yuan's current expertise in refining treasures, he could easily discern the technology contained within the Craftsman God Star, a supreme treasure. In fact, the grade of this flying palace had reached the pinnacle of top-tier treasures.
It is evident that the true mastery of crafting treasures is only one step away from being able to forge the ultimate treasures. As long as the master craftsman can understand this crucial point, then mastering the art of crafting ultimate treasures will be just around the corner.
And Chen Yuan could provide him with just such an opportunity.
"Indeed, seeing this treasure gives me even more confidence in persuading the God of Crafts."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly.
He understood that for these people who were obsessed with their craft, breaking through to a higher level of skill was their ultimate goal, and this applied to everyone, even the God of Crafts, the master of the universe.
With the allure of higher-level treasure-refining techniques, coupled with the respect the God of Craftsmen held for the Mountain-Sitting Guest in the original work, Chen Yuan was extremely confident that he could persuade the other party to join the human race.
He then used his mental power and quickly located the God of Craftsmanship. The God of Craftsmanship was on God of Craftsmanship Mountain, concentrating on forging a supreme treasure. "Very good, the God of Craftsmanship has not left."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly. It's good that the person is still here; his only fear is not being able to find them!
However, as a special rock-type life form called "Mountain Giant," the God of Crafts also possesses the characteristics of rock-type life forms, namely, that he is naturally inactive and prefers to live in one fixed place.
Therefore, the God of Crafts actually spends most of his time on God of Crafts Mountain and rarely leaves God of Crafts Star, so finding the God of Crafts is quite simple.
In the original story, Luo Feng happened to encounter the Craftsman God "visiting friends," but that was a deliberate act by the other party to show him. In reality, the Craftsman God was hiding nearby, waiting for Luo Feng to take the bait.
Otherwise, if he really was visiting friends, how could the God of Crafts appear just after Luo Feng obtained the fourth Heavenly Soul Crystal? It's impossible that the God of Crafts' friend was in the Yinfa Secret Realm.
In other territories, the God of Crafts is merely a lord of the universe, not the strongest being in the universe. He doesn't possess the ability to traverse endless star seas in an instant and return directly to his lair.
Although Chen Yuan was not the true Lord of the Universe, he knew all too well the abilities of the Lord of the Universe. Therefore, he was quite certain that in the original work, the God of Crafts was just pretending to leave, with the purpose of tricking Luo Feng into sneaking into the God of Crafts Mountain to steal the metal plate.
Under normal circumstances, it would be the norm for the other party to stay on Craftsman God Mountain. With a thought, Chen Yuan teleported directly to the back of Craftsman God Mountain. This place was the absolute core area of Craftsman God Mountain and the place where Craftsman God was in seclusion refining treasures.
After shielding himself with the power of his mind, Chen Yuan's appearance did not alert anyone, including the God of Crafts who was focused on refining the treasure.
However, he did not rashly disturb the other party, after all, with his eyesight, he could naturally see that the craftsman god's refining this time was obviously not an ordinary treasure, and it was at a critical juncture.
"The materials used in this refining are quite precious, enough to forge a top-tier treasure. However, the craftsman god's skill is somewhat lacking. Whether it can be successfully refined depends on fate."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. If these materials were given to him to refine, he could at least refine a level eight peak treasure.
Even if he were to take over the refining now, without reforging, he could perfect this flawed prototype of a treasure and bring the finished product to the peak of level seven quality.
However, given the God of Craftsman's own skill level, he could most likely only forge a level six peak, which is the most outstanding top-tier treasure. But if he wanted to enter level seven, which represents the pinnacle of treasures, it would depend on whether he could grasp a glimmer of inspiration.
Unfortunately, even without Chen Yuan's interruption, the God of Craftsmanship still failed to grasp that spark of inspiration, and the brilliance of the nascent treasure before him dimmed considerably.
Several days later, the treasure was completed, and as Chen Yuan had predicted, it was only at the level of a top-tier sixth-level treasure, not reaching the quality of a peak treasure.
"That's really strange."
The colossal God of Craftsmanship was unaware of Chen Yuan behind him. He was gazing at the supreme treasure before him, frowning in deep thought. "Which part went wrong? I've done everything perfectly, yet I still can't fully utilize the material's properties?"
"The material smelting, the inscription drawing, and the assembly are all flawed; it's far from perfect."
Chen Yuan's voice suddenly appeared behind him, startling the Craftsman God. When did this person appear? How come he didn't notice him?
"who!"
The God of Crafts suddenly turned around, and at the same time, his divine body instantly returned from about 100,000 kilometers to its original state, which is about 10 million kilometers.
Then he looked down and saw Chen Yuan standing in the void.
"Humans?"
The God of Crafts, his face contorted with rage, frowned at Chen Yuan, who was tiny to him, and boomed, "Human, how dare you step into my weapon-refining room without my permission?"
"If there's no reason, have you thought about how to deal with my anger?"
The God of Crafts did not make a move immediately, mainly because he couldn't understand Chen Yuan's method of appearing silently just now, and he couldn't figure out the true strength of the human in front of him.
But he understood that if someone could deceive his senses, they must be at least on the same level as him, and their strength must be considerable.
However, the God of Crafts showed no fear, because although his strength was not top-notch, his divine body was large enough, and as a rock-type life form, his defense and survival capabilities were extremely strong.
As long as he remains within the primordial universe, even the strongest being in the universe cannot kill him, so he is not worried that this human will harm him.
At the same time, the God of Crafts also realized that this person had not disturbed him during the process of refining the treasure, and should have come with good intentions. Therefore, he was prepared to listen to the other party's purpose before considering his attitude towards this person. "Master of Crafts, why be so angry?"
Chen Yuan smiled gently, "I just noticed that there were still many areas where you could improve your crafting process, so I couldn't help but offer my guidance."
As he spoke, he pointed out several mistakes made by the craftsman god during the refining process and told him how to correct them.
After saying this, Chen Yuan looked at the Craftsman God who was deep in thought with furrowed brows and continued, "After correcting these errors, this treasure will be able to break through to the peak level of a supreme treasure."
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, the Craftsman's brows furrowed even deeper.
In truth, he was extremely surprised.
Through deduction, he discovered that the errors the other party made were most likely true. By using this method to reforge the treasure, there was even a considerable probability that it could be upgraded to the peak level.
Therefore, based on just these few words, the God of Craftsmanship could conclude that the human in front of him was at least a top-level treasure-refining master. But the problem was, how could the other party know so much about treasure refining? In his impression, there should never have been any famous treasure-refining masters among the human race.
"I can't judge the errors you mentioned at the moment, but my intuition tells me they're probably true."
The God of Craftsmen stared solemnly at Chen Yuan's figure and said in a deep voice, "Human, I can let you off the hook for trespassing on the forbidden area of God of Craftsmen Star, but you need to tell me your identity and the purpose of your visit."
"Rest assured, Lord of the God of Crafts, I am not your enemy."
Chen Yuan smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Chen Yuan, and my title is Lord of the Primordial Beginning. I don't know if you've heard of me."
"The Primordial Ruler? So it was you."
The God of Craftsmen nodded slightly. "I have heard of your name, the Lord of the New Universal Universe of the Human Race. It is said that you caused the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Machine Race to suffer a great loss."
"but."
The God of Craftsman lowered his gaze, watching Chen Yuan's figure, and said, "Even if you are the ruler of the human universe, it's inappropriate for you to barge into my weapon-refining room without a word, isn't it?"
"Even if your weapon-forging skills are superb, I may not need your guidance."
"Is that so?" Chen Yuan chuckled. "I knew that the Lord of the Craftsmen was proud and arrogant, and never bowed to any strong person. Seeing him today, I can confirm that it is true."
"but-"
He paused, then continued, "The treasure-refining technique personally taught by the Mountain Hermit, do you really not want to learn it?"
"The Mountain Dweller!"
The Craftsman's pupils contracted, staring at Chen Yuan in shock: "What's your relationship with the Mountain-Sitting Guest?!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan laughed and said, "Of course I am a disciple of Master Zuoshanke."
"Brother Craftsman, don't be afraid. I am here to see you on the orders of our master."
"You're actually Master Zuoshanke's disciple?!" Craftsman God's eyes widened instantly, his previous wariness gone, replaced by a hint of joy: "You called me Senior Brother? Could it be that Master Zuoshanke has finally agreed to accept me as his disciple?"
However, before Chen Yuan could reply, the Craftsman God suddenly calmed down: "That's not right."
"You claim to be a disciple of the Mountain Hermit, but do you have any proof?"
"Proof? Before you left, your teacher personally told me that he had instructed you on techniques for crafting treasures back then. Does that experience count?"
"What you said is indeed true." The Craftsman nodded, his expression softening considerably.
Because he had never mentioned the guidance given to him by the hermit, theoretically only he and the hermit knew about it.
Now that Chen Yuan has told this story, the Craftsman God is already 80% convinced, but he still has some doubts.
"You just called me senior brother," the Craftsman God asked in confusion. "But Master Sitting Mountain Guest did not accept me as a disciple. My calling him 'master' was just wishful thinking on my part."
There's a reason why I address my senior brother that way.
Chen Yuan smiled. "And that's also related to the purpose of my visit here."
"Speak," the craftsman's voice was deep. "I want to hear what it is."
"I have two things to do here. One is what my teacher instructed me to do, and the other is my personal matter."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "And the reason I call you Senior Brother is also related to this private matter."
"Tell me what the teacher instructed you to do first."
The Craftsman frowned slightly; he was more concerned about the news of the Mountain Guest than about Chen Yuan.
"My teacher instructed me to place this material on your Craftsman God Mountain."
Chen Yuan took out a black metal plate and explained, "Our master is training a new disciple, my junior brother. This metal plate is for his training."
"The teacher wants to place this metal plate in a dangerous location so that my junior can come and retrieve it in the future."
"This dangerous place doesn't need to be too difficult. It should be about the level of a Universe Venerable wearing a supreme treasure armor, just enough to barely obtain it."
"Is it that simple?" The God of Craftsman thought for a moment, and the black metal plate flew directly in front of him, but he couldn't see anything special about the material.
He couldn't help but wonder, was it really just a matter of leaving the materials and waiting for someone to come and collect them?
"Of course, that's not all." Chen Yuan shook his head. "The so-called materials are just a trap. The teacher's real purpose is to make you appear immediately after my junior brother obtains the metal plate and throw him into one of the wormholes connecting to the Jedi."
"A dead end?" The Craftsman God's expression changed. "Is it that ruthless? Even a Universe Venerable would face a near-death experience if he went in, and might never come out again."
He himself had never entered those two forbidden zones, so he didn't know what lay beyond them. But he did know that almost no one who entered a forbidden zone ever came out.
"This is a test set by the teacher for his junior brother; senior brother, just do as he's told."
"My junior brother will arrive at Craftsman God Mountain in a few thousand years at the earliest, or tens of thousands of years at the latest. I hope Senior Brother Craftsman God will make proper arrangements."
Chen Yuan used his divine power to draw out the image of the wormhole connecting the Starry Sky Beast Clan's territory before the Craftsman God's eyes, so that the Craftsman God wouldn't lose it in the wrong place later.
"Alright, since it's the teacher's order, I will do as instructed."
The Craftsman God nodded, noting which wormhole Chen Yuan had outlined, and continued, "You just said that besides this matter, you had another personal matter to discuss with me. What is it?"
"My personal matter is very simple," Chen Yuan smiled. "I want to invite Senior Brother Craftsman God to join my human race and become an ally of humanity."
"Of course, I can guarantee that you won't need to fight the enemy, senior brother. You only need to refine the most precious treasures for our human race's experts."
Hearing this, the God of Crafts was not surprised. After all, his strength was not that great; he was only good at preserving his life. His only advantage was his skill in refining treasures.
"But I don't understand," the God of Craftsmanship said in confusion. "Your treasure-refining skills should be better than mine. With you here, the human race shouldn't lack supreme treasures."
"Why must I join the human race?"
"This is a simple question," Chen Yuan smiled. "Because the human race only needs top-tier treasures, and I don't want to waste time refining these low-end treasures, that's why I wanted to ask my senior brother for help."
"A top-tier treasure? Low-end?" The God of Crafts blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.
