Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

God Forge Union, meeting hall.

More than a dozen mahogany chairs were filled with a tall and powerful figure. They were all the remaining forging masters in the Shendian country, and they were also the real talkers of the entire Shendian Guild.

The governance model of the Divine Forge Union is somewhat similar to a parliamentary system. Although there is a president, it is not a single company.

As long as it is a major matter involving the entire trade union or the national policy of the Divine Forging Nation, a parliament will be convened to vote and make unified decisions.

At this time, all eyes in the meeting hall were focused on Qi Zhu, who initiated the proposal. Most of their eyes were filled with doubts and incomprehension, and even a few blacksmith masters had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces.

The union president at the main seat coughed lightly, looked at Qi Zhu and asked solemnly:

"Master Qi Zhu, are you sure you want to give up your lineage's opportunity to use the divine forging platform to an outsider?"

After listening to the president's question, Qi Zhu below nodded calmly with a firm tone.

"I am sure that his forging skills are better than mine, and he is now the most likely candidate to become a divine craftsman!"

"Hmph! Better than you? A man from Xuanwu who is less than thirty years old, do you think he is better than you?"

As soon as Qi Zhu finished speaking, an old man in the front right grunted and slapped his strong right arm on the square table beside him. The blazing fire spread along the palm of his hand and turned the entire square table into ashes in an instant.

Glancing at the square table that was accidentally destroyed, the old man retracted his palm, suppressed the boiling anger in his heart, and then said:

"You should be very clear about the significance of the Divine Forging Platform. It concerns the glory of the entire Divine Forging Guild and your ancestors. Do you really want to give it up like this?"

The Divine Forging Platform is one of the national treasures in the Divine Forging Country that is no less than the Thousand Blades of the Demonic Sword. It was cast by the third divine craftsman. From the day the Divine Forging Platform was cast, the birth of each subsequent generation of divine craftsmen is closely related to it. Can't get rid of the relationship.

The function of the divine forging platform is very simple. There are only two functions. One is to isolate the inside and outside, giving the blacksmith on the platform the blessing of 'absolute concentration', so that he can maintain the best condition for weapon casting.

The second is to form a projection in the sky above the entire Shen Forging Kingdom. All citizens in the Shen Forging Kingdom can feel the entire process of forging weapons, every detail, as long as they look up.

Only after a true soul-melting weapon is forged on the divine forging platform through a method similar to national live broadcast, can one become a divine craftsman recognized by all the people.

And the weapon that was born little by little under the attention of all the people can gather a lot of power of faith and become the national treasure of the entire Shen Forging Kingdom. It will be loved for eternity and live with the country.

It is precisely because of the unique promotion ceremony of divine craftsmen in the Divine Forging Kingdom that for thousands of years, the entire country's forging heritage has never been cut off, and it has continued to innovate and forge ahead.

Especially in that era when a divine craftsman is born, the national power of the Divine Forging Kingdom will rise several levels. During this period, a large number of forging masters will emerge one after another within the country.

The entire ceremony, on the one hand, is to demonstrate the forging process, gain recognition, and gather faith; on the other hand, it is also to teach one's skills to all citizens without reservation and benefit all people.

It can be said that the master craftsmen of each generation are the teachers of all peoples. Only in this way can they bear the title of master craftsmen.

From these, we can see the significance of the Divine Forging Platform to the entire Divine Forging Kingdom. This is the fundamental inheritance of the family and the country. Naturally, not everyone can have the qualifications to board the Divine Forging Platform. It is protected by the Divine Forging Union. strict control.

First of all, the prerequisite candidate for this qualification is a blacksmith master with the ability to seal souls. Secondly, you must use your own blacksmithing skills to conquer more than two-thirds of the blacksmith masters in the union in order to obtain the qualification.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. If you are the inheritor of a certain generation of divine craftsman family, then you will also have an unconditional opportunity to ascend the divine forging platform, and you can also bestow it on others. This is the achievement of your ancestors that will earn glory for future generations. , of course, just this once.

The Divine Forging Kingdom has produced a total of twelve divine craftsmen, of which only seven bloodline families are still passed down to this day, and there are only three families that still have the opportunity to board the Divine Forging Platform for free. The Qi family where Qi Zhu belongs to That's one of them.

For each blacksmith, there is only one chance to board the divine forging platform, but for the divine craftsman family, they can use this opportunity to board the platform for the second time.

Its preciousness is evident, so the old man would feel angry that Qi Zhu would give up such a precious opportunity to an outsider at will.

If the outsider succeeded, it would be fair to say that he became the new master craftsman, which would be a good story for the Qi family. But if he failed, it would become a complete laughing stock and completely live up to the achievements of the ancestors' master craftsmen.

But what the people of the Shenduan Kingdom have been unable to do for hundreds of years, what chance does an outsider from the Xuanwu Kingdom have of succeeding?

Looking at the angry old man in front of him who questioned him, Qi Zhu showed no anger. This old man was considered one of his elders, and he knew very well that the other man's anger was out of concern for him.

But he understands Xu Yue's forging level better. Compared with him now, he is the one who is truly qualified to challenge the divine craftsman.

Moreover, he owed Xu Yue a huge favor in the previous transaction of fire-brewing and forging inheritance. Now it was time to repay him, and he had both public and private reasons to give up this opportunity.

"Uncle Yan, I would like to guarantee the credibility of the Qi family. He will never disgrace the Divine Forging Platform!"

Qi Zhu spoke loudly, and the old man met his firm gaze. He was silent for a while, and finally waved his hand and said no more.

After all, this is a family matter of this family, and it is not the old man's turn to question it.

On the other side, seeing the old man no longer speaking, the trade union president on the chair also concluded:

"Since the Qi family has decided to take advantage of the opportunity, we have no objection. Let's inform the whole country and open the Divine Forging Platform at noon tomorrow!"

"Master Qi Zhu, you can inform the Xuanwu man to get ready."

"Thank you, President."

The decision was made, and the meeting initiated by Qi Zhu came to an end, and everyone dispersed.

A moment later, a clear and clear bell rang in the center of the island where the Shen Forging Kingdom was located, and continued to spread to every corner of the entire island.

Wherever the bell passed, all the citizens there, no matter what they were doing, stopped in unison and looked at the location of the God Blacksmith Guild in the center from a distance, with ecstatic expressions on their faces.

When the bells stopped ringing, loud noises began to be heard from all over the island, and a fanatical atmosphere quickly filled the air.

"The bell rings nine times? Finally, another forging master is about to open the divine forging platform and attack the divine craftsman!"

"Go quickly and inform all your relatives and friends who are not in the country. You must rush back to the Kingdom of God before noon tomorrow."

"The last time the Divine Forging Platform was opened was twenty years ago, right? I wonder which master opened it this time, in such a hurry?"

"It's a pity that Master Yanqiong was only one step away from being a master craftsman last time. When he melted his soul, his weapon backfired and he fell short. I don't know if he can succeed this time. Our country has not produced a master craftsman for hundreds of years."

…………

The news that the Divine Forging Platform was about to open tomorrow swept from the island to the entire world like a hurricane. A large number of people began to rush to the Divine Forging Kingdom, most of which were blacksmiths from all over the world.

Every time the divine forging platform is opened, it is a grand carnival. Even if the final divine craftsmanship ceremony fails, being able to experience the entire process of the forging master forging a weapon is immersive for every blacksmith. These are all temptations that are hard to refuse, which will be of great help to the improvement of one's own forging skills.

The outside world began to boil, and Xu Yue, as tomorrow's protagonist, naturally heard the bell ringing throughout the island.

He stopped swinging the hammer in his hand and looked outside the door of the forging room. Since the bell had rang, it meant that Qi Zhu would be back soon.

The original transaction for the source of fire was worth it. If it hadn't been for that transaction, which was considered a loss, Qi Zhu would not be sparing no effort to help now.

It is not that simple to complete two main missions within a limited mission time. The orthodox process of becoming a divine craftsman is to first join the divine forging guild, then become one of the many forging masters, and then pass one's own qualifications. His skills conquered two-thirds of the masters one after another, and he gained the qualification to ascend the divine forging platform.

Finally, he shined on the divine forging platform, forged a soul-melting weapon, and became a divine craftsman.

Just like the process of joining the Shadow Organization in Xuanwu Kingdom, he had to climb up step by step to gain the title of 'strongest'.

But now, with the help of Qi Zhu, he directly skipped the previous tedious task process and reached the last step before success in one step. This saved him a lot of time, and what he lacked most now was time.

Pursing the corner of his lips, Xu Yue withdrew his gaze and continued to swing the hammer in the forging room. The tinkling sound of knocking and the splashing of golden sparks made his somewhat fluctuating heart regain peace.

Tomorrow, he must succeed in one fell swoop. He won't have another chance.

…………

The second day, God Forging Island.

Compared with the past, the capital of the Divine Forge Kingdom today is almost overwhelmed by a large number of people. Not only the city streets, but also the wilderness outside the capital and even the adjacent sea outside the island are full of people. crowd.

Among them, there are blacksmiths who come to learn forging skills, and many people simply come to witness whether the new master craftsman can be born today.

If a divine craftsman can appear in this era, it will not only be beneficial to the Divine Forging Kingdom, but also a blessing to most countries.

In this world where force is paramount, the weight of a magic weapon is not low, especially the existence of a magic craftsman who can continuously produce magic weapons. Every country is extremely eager to possess it.

As noon approached, all the people walked out of the shelter and looked expectantly at the sky above the center of the Shenforge Island.

"Dong~"

A long bell rang throughout the sky, marking the official start of the Divine Forging Ceremony. Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands or even millions of pairs of eyes, a shadow began to appear in the sky over the entire island and slowly solidified.

The shadow is a huge black high platform that blocks out the sky and the sun. On the high platform, a naked and strong man stands with his eyes closed.

Kong Wu's powerful and burly arms have clear grooves and smooth lines without being bloated, showing an ultimate sense of strength. His figure of nearly 100 meters stands in the sky, like a giant spirit god in mythology.

Under the shadow, everyone on the island was obviously looking up at the high platform above, but under the influence of the divine forging platform, their perspective seemed to be separated from the limitations of the body, suspended in the void, and they could clearly see everyone on the high platform. corner.

But in their small field of vision, the giant shadow on the high platform was still as majestic and vast as a mountain.

This is a deliberate move by the Divine Forging Platform. On the one hand, enlarging the body shape allows citizens to more clearly see every inch of the changes in techniques and materials during the forging process.

On the other hand, it is also to arouse the awe of the audience to the greatest extent and facilitate the collection of beliefs.

This is also the origin of the name Shen Forging. Under the projection of the Shen Forging Platform, every forging process is like the heaven-reaching gods forging tools.

"God forging, start!"

An old announcement sounded, and at the same time, the giant-god-like man on the high platform opened his eyes, revealing a pair of majestic golden-red eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, boiling golden-red flames lingered around him, and the bright silver Begins to spread over the skin.

If it was just because of his vast body shape that the man looked like a god before, then now this image with golden and red eyes, covered in flames, and a body full of silver is no different from the gods in myths and legends.

Especially when facing those golden and red eyes that are unlike any human being can have, a terrifying military aura makes people tremble all over, and they dare not look directly. Ninety-nine percent of the spectators in the field can't help but lower their heads. He lowered his gaze, not daring to look directly at the god again.

In the crowd, Qi Zhu raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up secretly. This was a good appearance. Since the divine forging platform has the effect of condensing faith and blessing weapons, every forging master who takes the stage will try his best before starting to forge. Showing off the means to make the onlookers below respect him as a god, it is obvious that Xu Yue has accomplished this very well.

Looking indifferently at the small crowd below, the silver giant on the high platform finally started to move. With a wave of his hand, densely packed ores of various colors were suspended in the sky, with a faint purple light emitting from the ores.

The next moment, a raging purple sea of ​​fire formed under the ore, quickly melting the ore inside.

Through the overwhelming sea of ​​​​fire, everyone could clearly see that the silver solution turned from the ore was squirming and deforming in the flames, during which detailed and complicated inscriptions continued to emerge in the solution, and then disappeared without a trace.

After a moment, the prototype of a full-body battle armor gradually emerged from the purple sea of ​​fire. Then, a small piece of the battle armor fell from the sea of ​​​​fire above and hovered in front of the giant god. The giant god sprinkled a handful of crystals from his hands. Debris, debris falls on the parts and blooms in a brilliant iridescent light.

The golden-red flames lingering around the giant god also started to move. They quickly rushed towards the parts in front of him, and the silver parts were turned red in an instant.

"when!!"

The crisp knocking sound was deafening, and a black giant hammer appeared in the hands of the giant god at some point. As his majestic arms waved, the giant hammer hit the red parts in front of him, and a large number of golden sparks flew around. Splashed, landed on the silver skin of the giant god and was bounced away again.

The component trembled slightly under the heavy blow, and the rainbow that bloomed on the surface was smashed into the interior of the component, and the complicated magic inscriptions disappeared in a flash.

After a knock sounded, a series of thunder exploded in the sky, like a thunder drum beating a drum, stirring up the sea of ​​clouds.

Looking around, I could see that under the purple sea of ​​fire that covered the sky, the silver giant was entwined with golden and red flames, wielding a giant mountain hammer, and constantly hammering the iridescent light group in front of him, and brilliant golden sparks erupted from the light group. Splashing up, it fell to the ground like a waterfall.

After that, a winding silver waterfall began to flow out of the sea of ​​​​fire in the sky. The waterfall flowed into the light group. As soon as the light group expanded, it was hit by the giant hammer and shrunk again.

Looking up at the incredible scene in the sky, the eyes of everyone on the ground gradually became blurred, and their closed lips began to open involuntarily. Many of them had experienced the divine forging ceremony twenty years ago, but it was far less exaggerated than now. .

Looking at the scene in front of him, even the forging master of the God Blacksmithing Guild had some doubts about whether the silver giant above, wrapped in a sea of ​​two-color fire, was really a god.

A large number of imperceptible white light spots rose from the ground one after another, wrapping the high platform in the sky, forming a surging sea of ​​white fog.

As the sea of ​​fog surged, it gradually spread around the silver giant and merged into the iridescent light group that he kept knocking.
