No wonder Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest had never contacted him since he entered the Jin World, nor had he inquired about the situation within the 'Jin World,' nor had he ever heard that Sitting Mountain Guest had entered the Jin World.

"Which of the many powerhouses in the Cosmic Sea isn't curious about the Jin World?"

"City Lord of Chaos, and the other powerhouses of the Hong Alliance, all of them are curious; many have asked me. But Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest has never inquired."

"I have always been puzzled: how could Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest, merely a True God, create the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex and forge the Star Tower!" Luo Feng was beginning to understand, though he still hadn't truly grasped the enigmatic Sitting Mountain Guest. At least now he knew that Sitting Mountain Guest was connected to the Jin World!

The core of the Jin Kingdom?

The Jin Kingdom was annihilated, the God King fell, and the vast number of super powerhouses who fought alongside His Majesty the God King likely perished as well. Sitting Mountain Guest being a True God was beyond doubt. Then...

"Did Sitting Mountain Guest also receive an inheritance, just like me? An inheritance from His Majesty the God King, or perhaps from a super powerhouse under the God King?" Numerous thoughts surfaced in Luo Feng's mind, but he temporarily buried all his doubts deep within his heart.

At least, he had learned something about Sitting Mountain Guest himself.

...

A torrent of thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind, yet he continued conversing normally with the God King: "Your Majesty the God King, who are those three peak existences you mentioned? I should at least know their identities first."

"Naturally," the man in the magnificent royal robe smiled. "These three are the founders of the other super force—the barbaric 'Shi Kingdom'."

"The three founding rulers?" Luo Feng nodded, then asked with confusion, "Where are they now? Could it be... that this Shi Kingdom has already been destroyed?"

All the traces of ancient civilizations he had discovered were remnants of destruction; only this Jin World had survived.

"Destroyed?" The man in the magnificent royal robe paused, pondering, and sighed softly. "Yes, it has been a very, very long time. Perhaps the Shi Kingdom has indeed perished."

Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty the God King, if they are still alive, how can I find them in the future?"

The Cosmic Sea...

So mysterious.

No one had ever been able to fully explore the edges of the Cosmic Sea. For instance, that colossal entity, suspected to be the corpse of His Majesty the God King, had flown in from the extreme distance of the Cosmic Sea! Then, in the unfathomable depths of the Cosmic Sea, could there be other existences? Other terrifying forces?

Unknown.

The Cosmic Sea was truly too vast and distant for a True God. If one ventured too far, getting lost was easy.

"To find them? No rush," the man in the magnificent royal robe chuckled. "Once your strength truly becomes immense, all secrets will gradually reveal themselves to you. Regarding whether the Shi Kingdom was destroyed, I've thought it over carefully just now; even if the Shi Kingdom did perish, it's unlikely that all three founding rulers of the Shi Kingdom would have been completely annihilated."

Luo Feng nodded, taking note.

"Look," the man in the magnificent royal robe pointed to an open space not far beside them. A mechanical creation materialized out of thin air.

"This is..." Luo Feng carefully scrutinized the mechanical creation before him. It had a streamlined body, the physique of a monkey, and possessed a flexible tail. Even as it sat there silently, it exuded an aura that sent a shiver down Luo Feng's spine.

The man in the magnificent royal robe said proudly, "This is the True God-level mechanical creature 'Wu Qi Shen' that I created. A single expert can use it. Among single-unit True God-level mechanical creatures... it is absolutely among the very finest, a mechanical treasure capable of manifesting your strongest combat power. Its only drawback is that it consumes God Power extremely quickly. Your God Body is quite large now, but you still need to be cautious and avoid unnecessary outbursts, otherwise the consumption will be too great, and recovering your God Body will be very troublesome."

Luo Feng nodded, his eyes shining as he stared at the Wu Qi Shen before him.

Troublesome recovery?

A joke. He had the clones of the Endless Dark Sea!

"Once you complete your Title Mission and become a Titled Expert, you will naturally be qualified to exchange for this Wu Qi Shen. This Wu Qi Shen belongs to you." The man in the magnificent royal robe declared.

"Belongs to me... but the military merit..." Luo Feng looked at the man in the magnificent royal robe.

The Wu Qi Shen required 30 million military merits to redeem.

"Haha, any completed mission comes with a military merit reward," the man in the magnificent royal robe laughed heartily. "How difficult is this Title Mission? The reward I set is precisely 30 million military merits. Are you perhaps planning not to exchange for the Wu Qi Shen, but for other treasures? That, naturally, is up to your own preference."

"Exchange, of course I'll exchange," Luo Feng immediately agreed.

It turned out, it was like this.

Completing the Title Mission automatically rewarded 30 million military merits, effectively delivering the Wu Qi Shen straight into the hands of the expert who completed the Title Mission.

"Wu Qi Shen..." Luo Feng looked at the Wu Qi Shen before him. "The Cosmic Sea is currently very turbulent, especially with the appearance of the Fourth Despair, and the Original Universe's Will actively guiding things! The power the Thunder Star Master displayed before his death was the exact opposite of God Power... there must be something hidden behind it."

Luo Feng felt the oppressive calm before a storm.

"The stronger I become, the better my ability to cope will naturally be," Luo Feng thought to himself. "Moreover, this time when I challenged the Wu Qi Tower, especially on the third floor, I obtained a large batch of mechanical stream treasures, True God-level armor and weapons, etc., from the other soldiers. I can completely take some of the mechanical stream treasures to the armory point, exchange them for military merits, and then use those merits to exchange for items suitable for my Human Race."

How many treasures could one person possibly need?

Especially once he became a True God, he would only have one main body. A few powerful treasures would suffice. Therefore, most of the other mechanical stream treasures were prepared with the Human Race in mind! Of course, he couldn't just hand them out directly; there was no such thing as something for nothing.

"Boom!"

Luo Feng reached out and caressed the Wu Qi Shen. His Life Imprint was easily branded onto it, and with a whoosh...

This entirely black, monkey-like mechanical stream treasure instantly merged into Luo Feng's body, transforming Luo Feng into a humanoid monkey with a tail, though his face remained his own.

"So complex."

With a brief examination, Luo Feng realized that some of the secret pattern diagrams and other aspects of the Wu Qi Shen were far more intricate than those of 'Ke Niao' or 'Jin Zhua Shen'.

"This is a True God-level mechanical creature, and one of the top-tier ones among them," the noble man in the royal robe beside him explained. "To unleash its peak power, one's comprehension of secret arts must also reach the very high echelon of True Gods. Of course, although you are currently only a Law Master, you can still use it, as it can be separated into three different tiers of combat strength."

Luo Feng smiled.

Indeed.

There were three different control methods, but even the first tier was more complex than the Jin Zhua Shen or Ke Niao. Not to mention the third tier, which he probably wouldn't have a hope of mastering until he truly became a 'True God'.

"Keep your Wu Qi Shen safe," the man in the magnificent royal robe said. "I simply didn't want a large number of soldiers to know the great secret behind this 'Title Mission,' so I offered the Wu Qi Shen as bait. In truth, it isn't much of a treasure."

Luo Feng offered no rebuttal.

Right.

To a great God King, what was a True God-level mechanical creature? Even the king of True God-level mechanical creatures.

But he was merely a Law Master. During his Law Master stage, and even his True God stage, this 'Wu Qi Shen' would be his optimal treasure. Even upon reaching Void True God, the Wu Qi Shen would likely still have some utility.

"Since I hope you become a God King in the future, I will naturally give you methods for cultivation," the man in the magnificent royal robe shook his head. "However, what I excel at is treasure forging, and clearly, you are not skilled in that area. As for the combat flow inheritance... I am not skilled in that either, but I have prepared an inheritance for that as well."

Luo Feng's eyes lit up—an inheritance?

The more the better.

"Study it yourself," the man in the magnificent royal robe tossed out a crystal stone emitting a dark light.

"In my Jin Kingdom, I am the only God King. Therefore, the combat flow inheritance I give you is naturally slightly inferior," the man in the magnificent royal robe explained. "This is compiled from the inheritances of the powerhouses under me and those I have slain. It should offer some assistance for your path to becoming a God King."

Luo Feng nodded, touching the inheritance crystal, filled with anticipation.

However, accepting an inheritance required a long time; it would be better to wait until he left the Wu Qi Tower to study it thoroughly.

...

"I have given you an inheritance; you will need time to cultivate and improve. While the Wu Qi Shen is of great help to you, once you encounter a Void True God, you are still in danger of perishing." The man in the magnificent royal robe continued, "Within this Jin World, I grant you the authority to borrow the power of the world."

"World Power?"

Luo Feng was astonished.

"You have completed the Title Mission and earned an additional conferment," the man in the magnificent royal robe stated directly. "Your status is equivalent to the Four Great Generals. This is merely on the surface; in reality... even the Four Great Generals know that you are the most important asset of our Jin World, someone who cannot be lost. Within the Jin World, you possess absolute authority. If anyone dares to offend you, you may borrow the power of the world to deal with them."

Luo Feng showed delight. "How powerful is the force of the Jin World when used?"

"It can suppress Eternal True Gods and kill any Void True God," the man in the magnificent royal robe stated directly. "However, do not engage in wanton slaughter."

Luo Feng nodded. "Understood."

The reason why this Jin God King treated him so well was because he had obtained the inheritance of the Lie Yuan Art, and the hope of killing the three founding rulers of the 'Shi Kingdom'... This God King had clearly placed all his hopes on him, as the God King himself had already perished.

Precisely because his hopes were so high, he naturally had to grant him sufficient status and power.

At least within the 'Jin World,' he could grant him sufficient authority.

"I can borrow the Jin World's World Power?" Luo Feng was instantly overjoyed. "This means the life and death of the experts from the major forces of the Cosmic Sea who entered the Jin World are now entirely at my whim?"

Even the God King only told him not to kill wantonly.

The implication was clear... if he truly wanted to kill, he could.

"I have given you everything I can give, and helped you in every way I could. I have already perished; this is all I can offer you," the man in the magnificent royal robe said. "The rest is up to you. Go now, you should leave this Wu Qi Tower."

Luo Feng immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude; regardless of the circumstances, the other party had helped him immensely.

Boom!

A pillar of light descended, striking Luo Feng.

Luo Feng... vanished from within the Wu Qi Tower and appeared outside it.

The second chapter is here! I failed to take first place for the May monthly tickets; I have many things to say after today's four chapters are finished, I will post a single announcement then. Regardless, Fanqie is here... first, thank all the brothers who supported me. You all were amazing, as the monthly ticket increase was indeed very fierce in these last few days.
