Chapter 1096: Divine Artifact Customization

Azote’s words made everyone present nod repeatedly, Feng Tianhe agreed, "Yes, there is some difficulty and challenge, but with our abilities, it is not impossible to create it." Then Feng Tianhe looked at Pei Yan and asked, "What about the other Divine Artifact? Do you have any requirements? Do you also want it to be in the form of a gun?""No, I want the other weapon to be in a melee style, preferably in the form of a long blade!" said Pei Yan, condensing the style of his habitual long blade to display to Feng Tianhe, then continued, "I hope this Divine Artifact will have a fixed appearance as a long blade, but it can change into various weapon forms according to my will, including extending to the thinnest synthetic fiber line level. As for specific requirements, they are similar to the revolver’s, and it would be best if it could incorporate effects like Nero’s that absorb and reflect damage, and Ivan’s Divine Artifact that can cause real damage."

"Hahahaha!" Feng Tianhe burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the other Mechanical Masters and Alchemists also shook their heads, smiling wryly. Engineer Li and Pei Yan were puzzled, and Engineer Li curiously asked, "Masters, could you tell me if there’s any problem with these requirements?"

"Li Xiaoyou, do you know what characteristic most of the famous Divine Artifacts across the realms share?" Feng Tianhe looked at Engineer Li and asked back.

When Engineer Li shook his head, indicating his confusion, he explained, "Purity!"

"Purity?"

"Yes, just like the Space-type attack ranked second, the Sever Dark, that Pei Yan absorbed, and Nero’s Divine Artifact, as well as the Qiankun Guiyuan Mirror absorbed by Ning Quanchen, these famous Divine Artifacts all exhibit an amazing effect by pushing a single characteristic to the extreme. And before, Pei Yan’s requirement for this Divine Artifact to adapt to various strange energy changes in his body and have an amplification effect already made its attributes quite chaotic. Adding defensive reflection and real damage effects, haha, if someone else made such a request, I would scold him mercilessly."

Feng Tianhe said this and looked up at Pei Yan, whose face was slightly awkward, "Whose family doesn’t hope the Divine Artifacts they create will be passed down through generations as treasures of the sect? This Divine Artifact can only be used to its full potential by you. To put it bluntly, once you pass away, this Divine Artifact will only bear the name, and no one else will be able to exert even a fraction of its power. But I’m just saying this because the Spirit Lord did say this Divine Artifact is custom-made for you, so everything follows your requirements."

"Can what I requested be achieved?" Pei Yan did not really have the idea of passing on the Divine Artifact, and the Bureau clearly stated that these two Divine Artifacts were earned by him, and he had full control over their use. Given his current realm, it’s not surprising for him to live for hundreds of years, which, in Pei Yan’s eyes, who is not yet thirty, is an unimaginable length of time. Who knows what the world will look like then? So it’s better to make himself stronger and meet his own needs.

"It’s not that it can’t be done, but the effects won’t be as remarkable as those of a single-property Divine Artifact. The more you ask for, the more complex the forging methods become, and the more diverse the material requirements. Inevitably, during the forging process, there will be conflicts between materials, and choices will have to be made. The reflection of absorbed damage is relatively easier, but the requirement for dealing real damage is very hard to achieve. A Divine Artifact is not omnipotent!"

"Ivan’s Divine Artifact is fused, using primitive strike methods like sticks and guns to deal damage, because ignoring all defenses to cause true damage is too heaven-defying. The price for achieving such an effect is that it can only display its power in this non-lethal attack method. If you really say that you want all your heterogeneous energies to be fully utilized through this weapon, causing real damage each time by ignoring opponents’ defenses, then this thing could truly become the number one Divine Artifact in the world!"

Feng Tianhe saw Pei Yan’s dejected expression as he casually tossed the handgun and long blade aside, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "We will do our best to meet your requirements. While we might not achieve the same heaven-defying effects as those two types of Divine Artifacts on these two points, it’s not impossible to achieve at least half the effect with some effort."

"Half the effect! That’s fine! That’s fine!" Pei Yan said, and with these words, he clasped Feng Tianhe’s hand, expressing his thanks and gratitude repeatedly.

With the Divine Artifact issue settled, the next two days would be preliminary testing work. Pei Yan demonstrated his own techniques, Power of Origin, methods, and battle conceptions to the Mechanical Masters present. Pei Yan understood that what he displayed would be reported to the Master of Origin, but some things had to be given, and in order for others to customize Divine Artifacts for him, he had to showcase his strength and accurate data, otherwise, the final product would only end up harming himself.

At this point, Pei Yan truly grudgingly respected Lin Ruxue. This old fellow seemed to have your best interest in mind with everything, but no matter if it was the Immortal Palace investigation or crafting the Divine Artifact for him, these matters secretly contained traps that, though visible, were unavoidable. Even knowing it’s possibly a snare, you have to hold your nose and walk into it.

It’s all about grasping the Investigation Bureau’s thirst for information on the realms and his own pursuit of strength. Desire leads to strength! Desire leads to strength! But how many can achieve this?

With such appreciation, Pei Yan, who was thoroughly checked from inside out, sighed and groaned as he gazed at the newly restored pond outside the space, and then left with his hands behind his back in a gloomy mood to report to Gu Shenghui.

The forging of the Divine Artifacts and the Mechanical Eye still needed time, even keeping up with the time flow speed in the sundial artifact, which was faster than in the Daoist Realm, would take three months in the Daoist Plane and five years inside the sundial to complete. This was achieved only by gathering the strengths of several major planes and using multiple lines of work simultaneously.

During this period, Pei Yan couldn’t interfere personally in these matters, which gave him a chance to go home and visit his parents. After reporting to Gu Shenghui, he quickly agreed to Pei Yan’s request and informed him that when he leaves the Daoist Plane with Pei Jin, he should take the just captured Radu along. Lately, the Bureau had been short-staffed, and no one had been able to escort this important hostage back to the Cornerstone Plane.

"Don’t worry, today is a good day for a family reunion!" Since it was a personal matter, Pei Yan knew it was inappropriate to tear apart space to return to the Cornerstone Plane without using the Space Tunnel, which in any realm is considered impolite unless in emergencies. Standing at the space barrier specifically chosen by the Immortal Palace Steward for him and his sister, Pei Yan was in a good mood waiting for the Space Tunnel to open, and he couldn’t help but tease Radu, who was shackled and suppressed with heavy chains next to him.
