“It’s just a pity… that the highest level Colorless Forge, even with the divine stones from our God Realm, still requires a considerable amount,”
“If we’re talking about your Mortal Realm’s mana stones… the quantity required, I can hardly imagine it.”
The Lord of 5 Elements racked his brain, trying to find words to explain just how difficult it would be to craft the highest-level World Forge.
At this moment, Daniel’s face twisted into an exceedingly strange expression.
Then, from his storage crystal, he pulled out numerous colorless forges.
When the Lord of 5 Elements saw this, his jaw dropped.
It was a completely instinctive reaction, a sign of his shock.
He was at a complete loss for words, as though he had been struck in the head.
It felt like when he had been slapped twice by Daniel in that mini world, leaving him clueless as to even what his own name was.
“Y-You… where did you get these? These colorless forges…?”
The Lord of 5 Elements stammered, still in disbelief.
“These? I crafted them myself,” Daniel replied nonchalantly.
“Crafted them?”
“Yeah, I happened to have a bit more mana crystal than usual.”
“Hiss…”
The Lord of 5 Elements sucked in a sharp breath.
His figure seemed to lose some of its form, as if he were beginning to dissolve.
It was clear that this news had dealt him a heavy blow.
After a long pause, he managed to regain some composure and asked,
“Then… how many of these forges do you have?”
“About several tens of thousands, though I haven’t counted exactly…”
As soon as Daniel finished speaking, he saw the Lord of 5 Elements’ figure shrink visibly.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the Lord had actually knelt.
“My lord! Lord Daniel! When will you come to God Realm? I will personally welcome you!”
Daniel was left speechless by the Lord’s sudden shift in attitude.
You’re a god king, for heaven’s sake!
“I’ll come to God Realm once I’ve handled the affairs of this world.”
“Of course! Just let me know when, and I’ll be there at a moment’s notice!”
Daniel picked up a colorless forge and asked,
“Is this thing really that useful? I’ve tried it before, and while it is useful for the world, it didn’t seem as powerful as you said.”
The Lord of 5 Elements gave an awkward glance before replying,
“Well, the forges you have are only at level 9! True pseudo-divine artifact-level World Forges are at least level 10 or higher.”
“Level 10?”
Daniel had never heard of such a level before.
“Yes, because I only just managed to gather information on how to craft level 9 forges… I never expected you to already have so many.”
The Lord of 5 Elements appeared slightly embarrassed.
Level 9… was it not the highest?
It seemed that the forges Daniel had could only reach level 9.
“It’s hard to imagine… As expected of such a special world, to have such hidden knowledge…”
The Lord of 5 Elements sighed in awe.
He hadn’t expected that something so secretive in God Realm would be commonplace in Mortal Realm, and Daniel had already forged hundreds of thousands of level 9 forges. empire
“I wonder… is it possible that even in God Realm, such things are passed down, but because your time as a god king has been so short… you haven’t had the chance to access this knowledge?”
Daniel’s words cut deep, as if a knife had pierced the Lord of 5 Elements’ heart.
“My lord, ever since I became god king, I’ve had to manage my own domain, which takes up so much of my energy… There’s no time to learn about things like this!”
“Just managing this world alone has consumed most of my time…”
Yet, despite his efforts, Daniel had made his work in this world completely irrelevant.
“By the way, what about level 10 and above? How do those World Forges come to be?”
Daniel changed the subject, unwilling to linger on matters of no consequence.
“Well… I’m sorry, Lord Daniel, but I don’t know much about that. These things are classified as secrets. Even if I tried to ask, I wouldn’t get any direct answers.”
“However, since your world has these forges, maybe there’s a chance to uncover information about level 10 or higher… I’ll try to find out in God Realm as well.”
Hearing this, Daniel nodded.
Though the old man was dead, Ryze, as the heir, was still around.
He would ask him if he knew where the Oracle group found information about the forges.
“Is there anything else?”
“No… I came just to tell you about the level 9 forge crafting methods. It seems you don’t really need it anymore.”
…
“I must truly be getting old! I never imagined that people from the sanctuary would appear before us and we wouldn’t even recognize them… I truly apologize to everyone…”
At this point, the high-ranking members of Moonlit Sanctuary bowed to Nora and the others in apology.
Even the sanctuary patriarch, who had previously been reclusive, emerged from his retreat, lowering himself to personally greet them.
This scene surprised both Nora and Nina.
They had fought their way here.
Fight if you can win, retreat if you can’t, then recover and fight again.
The forces they encountered along the way had all been manageable, not particularly strong.
Until they reached Middle Earth and arrived at Moonlit Sanctuary, where the high-ranking figures were nearly as strong as Nora herself.
Not to mention there was the patriarch still in retreat.
However, neither of them had expected that simply mentioning the academy and headmaster…
This so-called patriarch of Moonlit Sanctuary would be so shocked that he had to emerge from his retreat to welcome them.
“You… are you choosing to ally with us, Crossbridge Academy?”
Nora asked in confusion.
“Of course! Our people are already almost at the Holy City, Riverside City,”
the patriarch of Moonlit Sanctuary replied cheerfully.
He had already emerged from his retreat multiple times recently.
Because in the past month, the entire Middle Earth…
In fact, the entire continent’s political landscape had changed more than it had in his entire lifetime!
He had never witnessed anything like it.
At first, he had been roused from his retreat by his juniors.
It all started with the shocking upheaval in the Dragonscale Bank, which spanned the entire continent.
They had to affiliate themselves with something called Crossbridge Sanctuary.
Such a thing…
No one had ever heard of it.
Dragonscale Bank—what did it mean? No one in Middle Earth understood it more than they did, given that they governed a realm as a superpower.
It was one of the top two powers in the Nine Realms!
And compared to other superpowers, Dragonscale Bank’s influence across the continent was even more extensive.
In almost every large city, you could see their presence.
So why, then, would such a terrifying giant do such a thing?
The high-ranking members of Moonlit Sanctuary couldn’t figure it out, so they had roused the patriarch from his retreat.
They knew something unexpected might happen across the continent, but they hadn’t expected this.
They had imagined battles and bloodshed, but what they got were shocking revelations.
Soon after Dragonscale Bank’s announcement, the Element Temple issued a similar one.
They too were affiliating with Crossbridge Sanctuary.
After that, news exploded from Karea Academy in the 5th Realm.
Before Dragonscale Bank had even made its announcement, they had already joined Crossbridge Sanctuary.
Following that… the Jing Empire in the East, and the Papal State in the West…
Stunning news poured in from all sides.
The patriarch of Moonlit Sanctuary immediately made a decision that went against his ancestors’ wishes!
“Immediately!”
He ordered his men to head north, to the legendary Holy City, Riverside City.
Moonlit Sanctuary would join Crossbridge Sanctuary too!
