Chapter 381: It

~13 min read 2,587 words

The moment his thoughts turned, Ji Jue heard it.

The sword humming close at hand in his soul, the response and song of Chunjun!

When Ji Jue closed his eyes, he could feel that stream of light, dreamlike and circling around his soul, soaring and circling nimbly like a swimming fish, unceasingly.

The sword name is already possessed, and spirituality is born on its own!

From now on, Chunjun is me, and I am Chunjun.

【Nine Types of Containing Images · Chunjun】, the great work is completed.

The only problem is...

The moment Ji Jue awakened the spirit of Chunjun, rolling blood-fire immediately surged from his whole body, covering his body and soul.

Just like a transformation...

The soul shadow appears, covering the flesh, rewriting the essence.

Amidst the pungent smell of sulfur and ash, standing in place was a strange human figure shrouded in blood-fire, changing unpredictably, unable to see his face at all.

The sound of eternal mourning and hysterical laughter rose from the flames, endless.

Right on his chest, in that dark and deep crack, a residual seed burned silently. In the scarlet blood-fire,

there was also a trace of darkness mixed in.

Why is there an extra color than before?!

At this moment, just breathing pulled the entire workshop toward the Great Sin, constantly spreading pollution. And wherever his feet passed, pitch-black footprints were burned onto the iron floor, and flames rose unceasingly on the scorch marks.

Spreading destruction, sowing flames...

Feeling the pure Great Sin aura in his soul and the suddenly clear call and resonance of the vortex, Ji Jue was already terrified.

What kind of ghost is this?!

Ji Jue also started to sweat.

Literally, flame sweat was about to drip from his forehead.

Incomprehensible—the spirituality of Chunjun, the reflection of his own soul... how is it a Sin Demon?!

This isn't right, is it!

More importantly, having been Sin-Transformed to this extent, does this still count as Heavenly Craft?!

The answer is, it counts.

Anyway, the embers think it counts.

The evidence is that the progress on the watch dial has completely filled the 【6】, and in Ji Jue's matrix, a wisp of brilliant and gorgeous radiance has appeared, who knows when.

After throwing thousands of gold, the Supreme Embers returned to the top of the list!

Following 【Blood of the Furnace】 and 【Undying Ember】, the final blessing required for the Metamorphosis Rank had appeared in Ji Jue's soul, who knows when...

—————【Heaven-Bestowed Spirit】!

The moment the blessing of Heaven-Bestowed Spirit appeared, the final metamorphosis began from Ji Jue's soul and body. Ji Jue's returned soul began to expand rapidly along his flesh and blood.

Under the guidance and entanglement of the matrix, the soul merged into every inch of Ji Jue's flesh and blood, inseparable, and merged rapidly.

Blood of the Furnace surged, Undying Ember flowed, Heaven-Bestowed Spirit rose.

The three blessings of the Metamorphosis Rank echoed each other, and countless spiritual qualities intertwined back and forth among the three, becoming one, inseparable!

And so, a wonderful change began to brew from the metamorphosed flesh and soul.

Ji Jue could feel that he was only one final step away from the Rebirth Rank!

It's not just that; under the blessing of the Heaven-Bestowed Spirit, not only was the strength of his soul improving rapidly, but the original consumption was restored in the blink of an eye. As his thoughts turned, countless insights emerged from his heart.

The world in his eyes was brand new.

It was as if he only needed to reach out to touch the essence of the embers that were high above and difficult to grasp in the past.

Blood of the Furnace, Undying Ember, Heaven-Bestowed Spirit—every time he got one of these three blessings, the lower limit of the artisan would rise by a large margin!

The upper limit was raised to an unimaginable degree.

By now, even if Ji Jue threw a piece of scrap copper or iron into the furnace, gave up thinking after losing his brain, and refined it with his feet, he could probably easily make something that ordinary artisans couldn't reach.

No way.

No matter how high and distant the embers lineage was in the past, alchemy was ultimately too dependent on operation. And after these three blessings were gathered, all creation became an instinct like eating and drinking.

The long asceticism to gather these three blessings and the effects of these three blessings combined to form the final qualitative change.

The timing of ascension, the timing of extraction, the nodes of purification, the way of integration...

The mysteries that were difficult to grasp in the past were now clearly visible, simple and easy!

Not to mention, under the blessing of the Heaven-Bestowed Spirit, the spirituality of the creation is born on its own, with infinite wonderful uses.

From now on, even if Ji Jue sets aside his academic achievements and Heavenly Craft achievements, just relying on these three blessings, he could walk sideways in the Association like teasing a dog or chasing a chicken.

Even if his water-injected paper was hammered by his teacher Ye Xian, he would dare to hum twice... do you understand the gold content of the Ember Three-Piece Set?

This is the confidence brought to me by the Supreme Certification!

And in terms of ability improvement...

With the final blessing of the Metamorphosis Rank in place, the second blessing chain of 【Matrix · Non-Aggression】 was finally activated!

Within the limits of theory, under absolutely ideal conditions, every time the Non-Aggression matrix crosses a major rank, it can gather a basic blessing chain.

Named after the four major ranks respectively.

First Chain · 【Invocation】, can turn everything within the reach of the hands of Non-Aggression into one's own possession!

Through the blessings of Wonderful Hand Heaven-Made, Primacy of Spirit, and Command Axis, Ji Jue can apply the effect of Non-Aggression's bare hands to the creations of the Mechanical God from a distance.

Refining and transforming, repairing and strengthening the objects of the Mechanical God's action out of thin air, turning ordinary machinery into alchemical items, and controlling them at will.

And the second chain · 【Metamorphosis】, the effect is even simpler and more violent!

It is to spread the blessing effects of the Ember Three-Piece Set—Blood of the Furnace, Undying Ember, and Heaven-Bestowed Spirit—to all creations that have accepted 【Invocation】.

Thereby—forcibly raising the quality of the matter, materials, and creations acted upon by spiritual quality by one rank!

Trash becomes ordinary, ordinary becomes fine, fine becomes rare, rare becomes epic—even if it's epic, as long as Ji Jue works hard and drains his spiritual quality, he can raise it to legendary!

This is the divine skill created by the poor brothers of the Mohists after painstaking efforts.

Everyone is doing the business of rebellion; where is there time to develop with peace of mind? Naturally, they use whatever they have, and whatever they can grab, they use!

You don't dislike the trash for being rotten, and the trash doesn't dislike you for being poor. Anyway, you can make do with it, and if you strengthen it, it's a treasure!

Where did this Chosen Trash-Picker inheritance come from...

Ji Jue felt unwell all over.

He turned his head and looked around.

He saw the little Niu Ma sleeping on the side. The little Niu Ma also saw him, his heart suddenly tightened, he instinctively shrank his neck, wanting to play dead, but saw...

Ji Jue suddenly reached out and pointed.

Instantly, he felt spiritual quality like a tide, rolling away, and his blue bar dropped by half in an instant!

And the little Niu Ma, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly shook, looked up to the sky and neighed. His beast-like steel face opened its mouth and sprayed a black-purple flame out of thin air.

The originally gray-black body suddenly turned bright red, and he couldn't help but manifest in the form of armor.

But the armor at this moment seemed to have been reborn. In the flow of dragon blood, it metamorphosed into pure vermilion, with layers of scales covering the shell, reflecting cold light.

In a sharp sound of crackling, the shell cracked, fell off, and grew two brand new arms out of thin air!

And even more exaggerated was the thruster behind him—the giant wings composed of countless steel machinery, sharp and exposed, with edges ferocious. While spraying flames, it changed, actually forming two giant claws out of thin air!

In ecstasy and excitement, the little Niu Ma just dug casually, and the giant claws dug deep gullies into the workshop floor that Ji Jue had reinforced countless times!

Like a hot knife cutting through wax, it was easy!

And then... he was slapped out of the door by Isis with a big slap!

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Isis didn't speak, just slapped him one after another, continuously!

Even with the blessing sequence of "Immovable as a Mountain," he couldn't be broken, and even with the dragon blood blessing after metamorphosis, the little Niu Ma didn't dare to fight back.

Completely losing his majesty and violence just now, he fled with his head in his hands, couldn't run

away, and then was hung up and beaten by the mechanical arm like a dog.

He could only struggle hard, making *ao-ao* sounds toward Ji Jue, beeping for help.

Save! Save! Save!

Save me, Brother!

"..."

Ji Jue's eye corner twitched, and he subconsciously took a step back, pretending not to hear—after all, if you count this trouble, it was still caused by himself.

The construction, maintenance, and management of the entire workshop, who knows how much effort Isis spent; he didn't dare to speak!

What if he accidentally breathed too loudly and was discovered by Isis, and she said, "I was so busy slapping him, I forgot to slap you"?

It's better to let the little Niu Ma sacrifice a little...

Besides, I did this for this family too!

*Xi*, Isis, you will understand me, right?

And so, he squatted on the side, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, until Isis had vented enough on the little Niu Ma, and mercury hands stretched out of thin air, grabbing tools to clean up, and then, began to drag various materials to repair the gaps.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please get out of the way, Sir."

In the starlight projection, Isis glanced at Ji Jue, who was pretending to be indifferent, her voice cold: "Don't get in the way."

"Oh, oh, okay, okay..."

Ji Jue lowered his head, not daring to speak, driven by the broom and dustpan, and was driven to the corner, squatting with the little Niu Ma, which could be considered sitting at the same table.

The little Niu Ma, covered in scorch marks, wiped the leaking machine oil, the engine still buzzing like sobbing, looked back at him, and beeped.

As if grieving and accusing.

Why didn't you fight her!

"Hey! Didn't I just not react in time?"

Ji Jue patted his car head, swore to heaven and earth, and swore: "We are brothers of hands and feet; can I watch you suffer a loss?

Later I will give her some color, let her..."

"Hmm?"

In the starlight-flashing projection, a pair of cold eyes suddenly looked back, and Ji Jue stiffened: "... let her have a good rest and don't tire her body, after all, she's been so hard-working, right? Little Niu Ma, why don't you understand her at all, and even make people angry."

"BEEP!!!"

Faster than him was the little Niu Ma, who now stood up without hesitation, pointed at Ji Jue, and reported to Isis: He said

he wants to fight you!

"Little Niu Ma, you damn—" Ji Jue was dumbfounded.

For the first time in his life, he felt the bitterness and pain of being betrayed by his own creation, and his tears were almost unable to hold back.

"... Heh!"

Isis glanced at these two chickens and dogs, turned around, and went to clean up.

Too lazy to care!

Only Ji Jue, abandoned by everyone, sat in place and shed small pearls silently.

Who would have thought that an artisan who had just forged a piece of Heavenly Craft and should have been high-spirited could fall to this extent in his own workshop?

Life can't go on...

When he lowered his head and took out his phone, he discovered that the phone had almost been blown up.

Everyone who saw the manifestation of the Heavenly Furnace above Xinquan couldn't hold it in anymore.

Including his dear peers.

Especially Old Lou.

He made four calls that didn't get through, sent eight or nine 60S voice messages, and was still sending them... the phone kept ringing *ding-ding-ding*.

Must be very excited, very happy, very happy for himself,

right?

Ji Jue laughed, didn't even click on them, and just mass-sent a reply: 【Yes, it's Heavenly Craft, luckily it succeeded, thanks for the congratulations! You guys should also work hard!】

Then the phone shook wildly again with *ding-ding-ding*; it wasn't just Lou Feng, who knows how many people started to call frantically.

Calls, messages, videos, spiritual quality communications followed one after another.

All were set to "Do Not Disturb" by Ji Jue with one click.

It's just a pity that when he personally called Ye Chun to tell her the good news, he found that he had already been blacklisted and couldn't tell the senior sister the good news in person, which was really a pity.

And the teacher's side was still light and breezy, just saying "Got it, congratulations," which made Ji Jue a bit disappointed; he thought the teacher would be more excited.

It's just that... in the end... Ji Jue didn't say anything about the abnormal changes in Chunjun.

When talking about related things in the teacher's workshop, they still had to put up a Silence Hourglass; talking about this kind of thing on the phone, isn't that looking for death!

Besides, Ji Jue didn't know how to say it at all...

What did he experience at the end of Chunjun forging?

And, what happened in that sea?

What exactly was the shadow of the rift realm he saw at the end?

The only thing he could be sure of was: the revival of the flame tide disaster is true!

wWW? ttkдn? co

Until now, Ji Jue could feel the faint call it made to him... and even the instinctive craving and impulse.

But for such an important thing, he had no one to tell... and no way to say it.

Otherwise?

Take himself as evidence?

Even if he was willing to sacrifice himself to make a report, what would be the use?

He didn't even know where that sea area was!

He couldn't find it even if he wanted to!

"Hmm? Wait..."

In the scattered thoughts and thinking, Ji Jue suddenly stiffened, subconsciously lifting his hand, looking at the watch on his wrist.

The system panel of the Heavenly Track suddenly popped up.

【Navigation data update started, lost route connection completed, station login completed—】

And then, he saw, in the navigation record of the Doomsday Special, a brand new transfer point suddenly appeared on the map.

—————【Present World Fulcrum · Taichu Sacrificial Temple】!

"Emmmm??"

Ji Jue pinched his chin, looking at the transfer point that had already lit up, looked up, and looked at the Doomsday Special that was ready and waiting.

Suddenly, he grinned.

Isn't this getting better? ===== CHAPTER 382 =====
