1532 The New God of Creation
"What do you think of Eternal Blacksmith's declaration?" Zi Xuan asked Tian Qiyuan out of curiosity.
"It would be amazing if he actually achieves such a feat," he calmly responded.
"Really? You're not worried?"
"Why should I be?" Tian Qiyuan responded, his voice tinged with a hint of indifference.
"He'll become the next God of Creation, you know."
"So what? It's not like that position will be his forever. I can still challenge for it."
"Don't you have to beat his record if you want to become the God of Creation after him?" Zi Xuan asked.
"Yes, and I also have to defeat him in a match."
If the position of God of Creation is already occupied, anyone who challenges that title must not only surpass the God of Creation's record during their God of Creation Ceremony but also defeat them in a one-on-one match.
A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Eternal Blacksmith emerged from his meditation and immediately began hammering away.
Once the Eternal Blacksmith began working, it took only moments for the other Divine Blacksmiths to notice a significant change in the way he struck the material. His movements were more refined and carried a profound quality that even they could not fully comprehend.
"My lord! He's improved so much; it's like he became a different person!" Heaven and Earth Blacksmith exclaimed in a shocked voice. He was the most familiar with the way Eternal Blacksmith smithed, so he was the most surprised out of everyone there.
"Looks like it wasn't just any ordinary enlightenment…" Star Forging Blacksmith mumbled.
"Since when was there ordinary enlightenments? No matter how minor or major, an enlightenment is still an enlightenment. Even a minor enlightenment could transform a carp into a dragon, drastically improving them." Silver Flame Blacksmith said.
"And if you consider Eternal Blacksmith's already deep understanding and vast experience, even a minor enlightenment would be unfathomably profound." Relentless Blacksmith added.
Eternal Blacksmith's first creation was a dagger. Unlike Heaven and Earth Blacksmith, Eternal Blacksmith wanted to get the weapon types he didn't excel at out of the way while he still had plenty of energy, as that would give him the highest success rate.
His first creation was a success, and so was his second.
He failed his third attempt but succeeded on his fourth attempt.
Eternal Blacksmith proceeded to succeed every other creation.
Thirty years passed swiftly, and Eternal Blacksmith was on his 30th attempt and 14th creation, which he succeeded in creating.
Eternal Blacksmith now had 15 successful creations while being only on his 31st attempt, so he had 19 more attempts to craft the remaining 10 treasures to fulfill his own declaration.
"Holy shit… even if he doesn't complete the ceremony within 50 attempts, it's almost guaranteed that he'll become the next God of Creation…"
The audience was at a loss for words.
