Luo Feng gazed upon the hovering Star Tower, recalling the near-death experience he endured just to claim it as his own.

With every increase in his own strength, the Tower's unfathomable depths seemed to grow even more profound. "What in the cosmos is its origin?" Luo Feng muttered, utterly bewildered. "Yes, Lord Galaxy," the golden figure replied with utmost deference.

Immediately, light shot from its eyes, enveloping the Star Tower to begin its scan, only for the figure's entire form to suddenly blaze with further intensity as it continued the examination.

One second, two seconds… One minute, two minutes… Luo Feng frowned at the prolonged process, but since the membrane wall of his miniature universe would remain white for several days, he knew he had time.

Five minutes had already passed, yet the golden figure was still probing. "Still not done?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, recalling how swiftly even the Shi Wu Wings had completed their assessment.

The golden figure offered no response, its probing relentless.

… Within the uppermost level of the Tower of Wu Qi in the God-King Valley of the Jin Universe.

The Jin God-King looked in that direction from afar, a trace of confusion crossing his face. "This supreme treasure… I have never even seen it.

Its forging technique is so masterful that no trace can be discerned.

This must have been crafted by a God-King, and furthermore, a God-King supremely skilled in artifact refinement." In the Ancient Civilization, God-Kings were the pinnacle existence.

Like founding monarchs.

Or figures such as the Third Generation Ancestor, or Emperor Xi—all occupied the God-King tier.

Yet, each excelled in different domains: some in close combat, others in long-range attack, some in artifact refinement, and still others in mechanics… "Their technique rivals mine! And seems even more perfect." "Which existence forged this? How have I never encountered such a treasure?" the Jin God-King wondered.

Though he was merely a virtual consciousness, he possessed the entirety of the true Jin God-King's memories, meaning he was familiar with every renowned super-treasure from the Ancient Civilization.

* Luo Feng waited.

After a long time, the golden figure finally withdrew all its light. "What did you find?" Luo Feng pressed, a hint of anxiety creeping in.

The golden figure respectfully stated, "I probed thoroughly, yet found nothing.

It has surpassed my detection range." "Surpassed your detection range?" Luo Feng was puzzled. "It has," the golden figure confirmed. "Within the scope of the Eternal True God level, I can detail every aspect of a treasure.

Once it exceeds that level… it becomes difficult.

Based on my analysis, this tower-type treasure belongs to an entity at least at the 'Saint-Ascension' level." Luo Feng’s brow twitched, but he wasn't shocked.

Despite his lower cultivation, he had an intuitive sense.

While the Shi Wu Wings were incredibly potent, they felt lesser in vastness and mystery compared to the Star Tower.

Since the Shi Wu Wings were top-tier mechanical artifacts for Eternal True Gods, it was not surprising that the Star Tower belonged to a 'Saint-Ascending' entity. "Lord Galaxy," the golden figure said reverently. "I have just received a message from His Majesty the God-King, information regarding this treasure…" "His Majesty the God-King?" Luo Feng was instantly delighted.

His Majesty, being so knowledgeable, might indeed recognize it.

As for His Majesty knowing about his artifact appraisal, Luo Feng found that unsurprising, given that the Jin Universe was under the God-King’s control. "What did His Majesty say?" Luo Feng asked immediately. "His Majesty said… that this tower-type treasure is one that only a God-King could forge," the golden figure relayed. "Moreover, it must be the ultimate masterpiece of a God-King specializing in artifact refinement, crafted with endless precious materials and the greatest personal devotion.

Such a tower-type treasure is sufficient to serve as the primary weapon of a God-King." Luo Feng was stunned by the revelation.

A God-King’s primary weapon? Just as Luo Feng himself possessed several artifacts, some he used casually, while others like the Shi Wu Wings and the Star Tower were reserved as main weapons.

Now, the Jin God-King asserted that the ‘Star Tower’ was qualified to be a God-King’s primary weapon, and indeed, the pinnacle creation of a refinement-focused God-King. "How could… how could this have fallen into my hands?" Luo Feng found it hard to believe. "It absolutely could not have been forged by Mountain-Sitting Guest," Luo Feng concluded, no longer entertaining the thought.

Mountain-Sitting Guest was a True God.

Even with endless fortuitous encounters, a True God could never create 'the perfect work of a refinement-specialist God-King.' "What is its origin?" Luo Feng insisted. "Such a super-treasure should possess legendary renown, even within the Ancient Civilization." The golden figure humbly replied, "The owners of such supreme treasures are invariably extraordinary, and the treasure itself should be famous.

However… His Majesty the God-King stated he has never seen this treasure either; he never heard of it during his time in the Ancient Civilization." "Never heard of it?" Luo Feng was deeply perplexed.

Several possibilities surfaced.

One: This 'Star Tower' was created in the Ancient Civilization after the Jin Kingdom fell, eventually landing in Mountain-Sitting Guest's hands.

Two: The Star Tower was left behind by some super-expert from the Ancient Civilization long, long before the Jin Kingdom's collapse, meaning the Jin God-King simply didn't know of it due to the vast stretch of time.

Three: Some supreme existence forged the 'Star Tower' but never made it public knowledge. "Teacher Mountain-Sitting Guest truly has monumental luck," Luo Feng mused inwardly. "And he has a grand purpose; otherwise, why would he specifically cultivate the lineage of Earth to inherit this treasure? And he could bear to part with a supreme treasure like the Star Tower." "I previously speculated he had ties to the Jin Kingdom, particularly with those who went into exile after its fall.

But now, even the Jin God-King is unaware of the Star Tower's provenance." Luo Feng became even more mystified.

Regardless of the source.

At least one thing was confirmed by borrowing the Jin God-King’s insight… The Star Tower was a God-King level primary weapon! And one unknown even to the Jin God-King. "Take a look at this next," Luo Feng said, flipping his hand to produce the Blood Shadow Blade and offering it for the golden figure’s appraisal.

… In the God-King Valley, the Jin God-King chuckled. "This Galaxy truly possesses many treasures." "Galaxy, this blade is a Primal Embryo.

A Primal Embryo for a God-King level weapon," the Jin God-King stated directly, his voice echoing clearly in Luo Feng's ears. "Its materials are of the highest order, and the cost immense.

However, its secret method must be continuously imprinted by you… Evolving a Primal Embryo into a final weapon is the most common method used by super-experts.

After all, crafting something on the level of that tower-treasure you previously held directly is far, far too difficult." "What did you call that tower-treasure?" … Hearing the Jin God-King’s voice in his ear, Luo Feng smiled. "His Majesty the God-King.

This tower is called the Star Tower." Luo Feng held no fear that the Jin God-King would covet the treasure.

After all, His Majesty the God-King was long dead, leaving behind only a virtual consciousness.

What use were treasures to him? Furthermore, the Jin God-King had been awaiting Luo Feng’s arrival for countless epochs… "Star Tower?" the Jin God-King transmitted. "This is a suppression-type treasure.

It can seal away vast numbers of enemies within, and even possesses the ability to 'tame' them… When your strength reaches its peak, enemies confined within the Star Tower might even be subdued into becoming your loyal servants, never to betray you.

Naturally, weaker opponents are easier to tame; the stronger they are, the harder the subjugation." "Primarily for suppression, with combat utility.

Even among battle artifacts, it ranks as exceptionally precious, and as a God-King’s main weapon… its value is boundless.

Even if your Primal Embryo ultimately transforms into a God-King Battle Blade, perhaps ten of those would barely equal one of this tower.

Not to mention it is currently just a single Primal Embryo." "Your capacity to obtain it suggests an extraordinary destiny." "I feel far more confident that you can achieve my ultimate goal." Listening to His Majesty’s words, Luo Feng held his breath.

If the Blood Shadow Blade eventually became a God-King Battle Blade, ten would only equal one Star Tower? "Suppression, taming? The Star Tower actually holds the power to tame enemies into becoming slaves?" Luo Feng mused. "It seems my strength is still too weak; I have yet to excavate much of the Star Tower's true might." Luo Feng departed the Jin Universe, bringing a batch of artifacts with him, while his divine power clone remained behind. "Star Tower." "Shi Wu Wings." Luo Feng smiled.

The origins of these two artifacts were indeed extraordinary, and the Star Tower, in particular, had shocked him despite his prior preparedness. "Teacher… what exactly is your goal?" Luo Feng wondered.

What had Mountain-Sitting Guest labored for across countless epochs? Luo Feng always felt it must involve deeper secrets of the Sea of Chaos.

Furthermore, Mountain-Sitting Guest had explicitly said they would discuss it after the World Beast Calamity passed.

If they couldn't survive the Calamity… any discussion would be moot. "Haha, I am inside the Star Tower." "Even if ten million World Beasts attacked simultaneously, what can they do to me?" Luo Feng felt elated.

The Star Tower was a God-King’s main weapon! Each World Beast was, at best, equivalent to a True God.

Even a million of them attacking together would feel like nothing more than a light breeze.

However, he couldn't be careless.

Though the Star Tower was indestructible, if ten million World Beasts pushed it from the outside, Luo Feng, with his current strength, would be utterly unable to resist.

They could still manage to push the Star Tower into desperate predicaments. "That place is the core of the Apex Cliff Realm; there are terrifying zones within.

While I wouldn't die entering them, I might be trapped," Luo Feng reflected. "For instance, the Three Extremes Abyss… If ten million World Beasts conspired to push the Star Tower into the Three Extremes Abyss, even if I could use the Undying River to return, the Star Tower itself might never escape." He had confidence, but carelessness could still cost him his life. "Luckily, I have Morosa," Luo Feng glanced at the World Beast beside him.

… Amidst the vast, chaotic currents of the Sea of Chaos, the Star Tower moved at high speed, soon flying into Luo Feng’s miniature universe. "This vessel shall be piloted by my avatar." "Morosa, you will remain inside the vessel for now.

Constantly monitor all activity within the World Beast Nest and report back to me," Luo Feng commanded. "Yes, Master," Morosa replied obediently.

Luo Feng smiled. "Just focus on your duties.

When I go to the World Beast Nest this time, I will certainly use the Star Tower to capture a large number of World Beasts for you to devour upon our return." "Ah!" Morosa cried out in delight.

Inside the Star Tower, resistance was impossible once suppressed.

Even a third-tier World Beast would likely be helpless for Morosa to consume.

If it were a fourth-tier World Beast… with Luo Feng’s assistance, Morosa could still devour it. "Serve me diligently, and you will certainly reap great rewards," Luo Feng stated before promptly leaving the miniature universe.

Regarding Morosa, deep in his heart, Luo Feng harbored a profound hope… to cultivate Morosa into the ultimate World Beast King! Although, even at this moment, the hope regarding the World Beast Calamity remained slim; Luo Feng dared not make such grand declarations yet. "The World Beast Nest!" Luo Feng gazed toward the endless void ahead.

Whoosh! The Star Tower sped through the boundless Sea of Chaos, rapidly advancing toward the Apex Cliff Realm! —(To be continued)
