different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the initial process of smelting metal ore and hammering out impurities was much faster than what Light experienced in the Iron Hammer Workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the impurities in the crude embryos obtained after hammering were reduced by half when compared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s worth noting, unlike when he first broke through to the Legend rank, after a period of intense learning at the Iron Hammer Workshop, Light had truly become a Master of Casting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, compared to those experienced Casting Masters at the Iron Hammer Workshop, Light was not at all inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Tomun, Rees could definitely break through and become a Master Forger before aging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, with Light’s current forging skills, the crude embryos hammered out in the already excellent conditions at the Iron Hammer Workshop contained very few impurities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the Heart of Molten Fire, the originally few impurities could still be further reduced, which was quite remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light carefully sensed, and it seemed that the Fire Element Power permeating the Heart of Molten Fire was exceptionally unique, providing considerable help to the forging process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the Dwarf Clan held the Heart of Molten Fire in such high regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s unclear if the Heart of Molten Fire was inherently magical or if it became such due to the God of Forging, Sarmekhal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief observation, Light resumed his subsequent forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, just like the previous hammering process, the processes of smelting and shaping went very smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only drawback was that compared to the Iron Hammer Workshop, the environment of the Heart of Molten Fire was harsher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forging equipment in such an environment would greatly consume the forging master’s physical strength and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder very few Casting Masters stayed here for long periods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, most of the Dwarf Casting Masters only possess Golden Rank strength and cannot remain indefinitely in such an environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Light did not mind such consumption as he was Legend rank, he stopped the casting to rest on the side to avoid suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such benefits here, I wonder if it will be even stronger in the core of the Heart of Molten Fire?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quietly taking out some clean water and food to eat, Light remarked with a bit of amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice suddenly echoed in the casting room, with a hint of amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rees quickly stood up upon hearing the voice, his gaze somewhat \"alert\" as he scanned the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, Little Li Si, no need to be nervous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure appeared in front of Light, smilingly speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light instantly recognized him as the Dwarf Demigod he had met when he first sneaked into the Heart of Molten Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to the terrifying pressure he exuded at that time, he now appeared completely devoid of any aura of a formidable being, just like an ordinary old dwarf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, under the crown, Pu’er.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Light respectfully addressed Pu’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you know me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pu’er asked with some curiosity, looking at Rees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before coming, Archbishop Liandrel told me that the Heart of Molten Fire was under your protection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven’t seen you, but considering such a powerful presence appears in the Heart of Molten Fire, I thought it must be you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, Little Li Si, you are quite clever!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pu’er laughed and patted Rees, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unlike Lian Del, you are somewhat like that child Preston.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, no need to be nervous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you’ve come to the Heart of Molten Fire, naturally, I won’t let anything happen to you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Pu’er pointed outside and said to Rees:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, you want to experience the core of the Heart of Molten Fire, don’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take you there, and you will also receive the Divine Power Baptism there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Pu’er stayed by Rees’ side was partly out of curiosity about Rees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, seeing Rees casting, he wanted to observe Rees’ ability and possibly provide some guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liandrel had mentioned to him that Rees not only possessed talent important to the Dwarf Clan but was also highly skilled in casting, already a Master of Casting at a young age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing such an outstanding junior, Pu’er certainly wished to offer some guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after watching Light’s casting process, even though the equipment was not yet formed, Pu’er understood Light’s exceptional level of forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Pu’er’s view, if there were any areas slightly rough, it was purely a matter of experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his level of forging, he couldn’t find anything worth pointing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was quite extraordinary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, hearing from Liandrel that Light was a Master of Casting, Pu’er thought he had just recently achieved this rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Pu’er’s specialty wasn’t casting, he was quite strong in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a long-lived demigod who spent a lot of time at the Heart of Molten Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if his forging talent wasn’t considered outstanding, Pu’er’s abilities were stronger than most Casting Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now he was not as skilled as Light, causing Pu’er to momentarily feel quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Liandrel hadn’t told him about Light, he might have thought Light was a Divine Son of some God of Forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t uncommon among the Dwarf Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the Divine Son, Matteus, born in the Heart of Molten Fire, was one of the strongest Master Forgers among the Dwarves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-God Artifact, Flame Furnace Chest Armor, was successfully forged by him in the Heart of Molten Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Pu’er suddenly felt he might be witnessing history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Pu’er grew even more interested in Rees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having heard Light’s self-murmuring, he appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, I’ll trouble you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light did not hesitate to nod in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is your invitation, not me sneaking over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, having displayed enough talent and ability, the entire Dwarf Clan was benevolent to him, this genius!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he followed Pu’er to the lava pool at the core of the Heart of Molten Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light was a bit astonished seeing the scorching gold-like magma constantly descending from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time he approached, he was too hurried, and merely took a quick glance at the environment here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he not only boldly stood here but also had the considerate presence of the Dwarf Demigod Pu’er with the Heat Resistance Shield, protecting him from the searing heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vastly different treatment was worth all his effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light could sense that the golden magma before his eyes was the source of the unique Fire Element power within the Heart of Molten Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like a spectacle achieved by the special means of the Dwarf Clan, refining the volcanic power of the Sotiga Volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Li Si, this is the core of the Heart of Molten Fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These golden magmas possess unique Fire Element power, coupled with the unique power blessed by the God of Forging, Sarmekhal, providing significant enhancement effects on the forged equipment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pu’er pointed at the scorching golden magma in front, telling Light:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Integrating this special magma in the forging process can not only significantly enhance the overall strength of the equipment but also noticeably increase its capacity for Extraordinary Power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Pu’er laughed and looked at Light, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thus, this place greatly aids in forging Holy Artifacts and Half-God Artifacts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of the clan’s Holy Artifacts and Half-God Artifacts are forged here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Li Si, I hope to witness the day you achieve this great feat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the kind and expectant gaze of Pu’er, Light could only smile and respond:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Pu’er... I will strive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pu’er laughed, patting Light’s shoulder and said indifferently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to be nervous, don’t feel too pressured, I believe with your talent, you’ll achieve it sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feel free to look around, with my protection, you won’t face any trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light nodded, scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the rock wall around the lava pool, Light noticed a somewhat peculiar cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was filled with various living supplies, and even had thriving green plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be Pu’er’s dwelling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this place, Light remembered the previous plan...\u003C\u002Fp>",1340,"2026-06-03T10:58:52.165Z","2026-06-03T10:58:58.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","76db9fceb2beb39b5addaba15b021ffee224c72648d02d9e5f205f098889ac72","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1235","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1233",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
