Chapter 1095: Divine Artifact Requirements

This may be somewhat cruel to Sifuer, but keeping in mind the principle of a long pain being worse than a short one, it’s just a young girl’s temporary admiration. She will eventually find a more suitable partner within the clan. With this thought, Pei Yan felt it was the best choice for both parties. It was precisely because of his overly rational handling of emotions that he once again missed the last opportunity to meet with Sifuer, triggering a series of shocking events across several major planes, almost altering the course of the war.Without the ability to foresee the future, Pei Yan put away the wooden box amidst the laughter and teasing of the crowd, concluding the meeting for post-match task assignments. After the meeting ended, he did not return to his room. To ensure he could return home to see his family, Pei Yan decided to quickly finalize the matters regarding the Divine Artifact forging.

Therefore, after inquiring from Gu Shenghui and learning that Engineer Li and others were still inside the sun dial Divine Artifact, he ventured alone into the Divine Artifact Space. Upon his arrival, Mechanical Puppet Masters and Alchemists from the planes gathered around him, praising his performance in the arena, while some complained that he did not showcase the technology they had installed within him.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Engineer Li was the first to speak up, resolving the situation for Pei Yan: "Pei Yan, what brings you here this time?"

Looking at these old relics, who have spent too much time with books and started to speak in a scholarly manner, Pei Yan smiled and said: "Two things! One is about my body modification, and the other is the matter of the Spirit Lord promising to custom-make two Divine Artifacts for me."

"Knew you came for that!" The Mo Sect elder, Feng Tianhe, laughed, pointing at Pei Yan, then leaned in so close that their faces almost touched. He then rudely reached out and pressed on Pei Yan’s head, lifting his left eyelid to stare intently at the Mechanical Eye inside.

Pei Yan was long accustomed to this kind of behavior. In this place, people came from various planes, each from different factions, with varying levels of cultivation, and vastly different temperaments. If there was one thing they had in common, it was their pride and passion for their respective fields of expertise. In this respect, Pei Yan had immense respect for them.

"Ah! How perfect! It’s an existence akin to a work of art!" Feng Tianhe slowly withdrew his hand and sighed: "Before checking your body for modifications, we discovered that this eye is the core of your current body, and only by performing the final modifications on it can it perfectly integrate with your current body, unleashing your full combat potential post-mechanization! Yet achieving this is easier said than done!"

As Feng Tianhe spoke, he shook his head repeatedly, his eyes glimmering like a child discovering a beloved toy, murmuring: "Let alone taking this perfect mechanical structure to an even higher level, just achieving a seamless integration between this Mechanical Eye and your body is a daunting hurdle. It was born to save your life when your superpower first awakened, and now the two of you are fully integrated. Every step of modification is fraught with difficulty and danger, its complexity surpassing that of making a Divine Artifact! So this matter cannot be rushed! We need to carefully discuss and research it among ourselves."

After hearing this explanation, Pei Yan nodded repeatedly and said: "Mm! Mm! I understand this concerns my life, and the masters’ caution is responsible for me! I naturally will not rush you and will wait for your notification whenever you feel it’s ready!"

"We can’t let you come here for nothing. Don’t you also have two Divine Artifacts that need forging? Tell us your requirements." Next to him, Alchemist Guild President Azote interjected.

"Oh? Any requirements?" Pei Yan asked cautiously. While adjusting his body these days, he had repeatedly considered in his mind the conditions he wanted for the Divine Artifacts.

"Tell us first! We naturally can’t promise what we can’t accomplish, so just tell us what type of Divine Artifact you want!" Feng Tianhe said with a helpless laugh.

"A gun!" Pei Yan blurted out a word.

"A gun? A long gun?"

"No! A handgun! A revolver!"

"What gun? A revolver?" Other than Engineer Li and the others, the rest looked at one another in confusion: "What kind of gun is a revolver?"

Seeing their confusion, Pei Yan quickly conjured a revolver to present to them. After Feng Tianhe took the handgun and studied it with the others, feeling greatly insulted, he twitched his mouth corners and awkwardly said to Pei Yan: "You, you, you’re just asking us to make such a low-grade mechanical weapon?"

Seeing Feng Tianhe nearly pulling the trigger accidentally, Azote chimed in to smooth things over for his old rival: "We don’t underestimate the foundational planes’ accomplishments in mechanics. Through recent understandings, we also acknowledge your near-miraculous mechanical achievements. But this thing—also known as your handgun—doesn’t seem very powerful, does it? I watched as that Di Xin person used it in the competition scene, and even with the addition of superpowers, its power was nowhere near that of a Divine Artifact."

Seeing the misunderstanding, Pei Yan quickly clarified: "What I mean is I want the weapon to look like this because it’s handy for me! As for how it’s forged, I’m not an expert, so I rely entirely on the masters’ judgment! Eh, can’t it be like this?"

"Fine!" Feng Tianhe managed to squeeze out a word between clenched teeth, and looking up at Pei Yan, he asked: "Then specify your particular requirements for this Divine Artifact."

"I want it to perfectly unleash my superpower and amplify its power! More importantly, I hope it can channel the Power of Origin from my body, such as when I pull the trigger and shoot a bullet, it can carry the power of my Power of Origin!" Pei Yan immediately stated his idea, ending with a dejected note: "I once attempted this myself, but the bullets fired from the weapons I conjured, while superficially imbued with the Power of Origin, lost that power upon leaving the chamber. The destruction caused upon hitting the target was indistinguishable from normal bullets. This time, I reclaimed a friend’s lifetime superpower from Di Xin, one of which can amplify firearm combat power, hence thinking of crafting a Divine Artifact like this."

"I see!" Upon hearing this explanation, Feng Tianhe’s expression softened considerably as he looked at the handgun, stroking his chin, and muttered: "It seems you’re simply looking for something akin to a combat amplifier weapon."

"But it’s actually not easy," Azote continued, chiming in: "For an ordinary person, we might consider this request a joke, but coming from you! It requires that this weapon can withstand your varied, powerful superpowers and adapt to the energy of the six major planes, as well as potentially facilitate the output of the combined Power of Origin of the six planes in the future. Thus, the complexity increases significantly."
