Chapter 1694: What Is This? It Dazzled My Eyes!

Emperor Luoni actually constructed 'Ang's Vision'—such a unique idea! It not only shocked Neggris and the others, but even Doroken, the alchemist, was left in awe, frantically asking: "What functions does it have?"

Emperor Luoni said: "It can detect spatial changes within a certain range around us and display them in the vision grid."

As Emperor Luoni spoke, the neat grid of squares began to shift—appearing indented in some places, raised in others—with the very center marking their current position.

Neggris carefully observed for a moment, then pointed to the nearest depression near their location and said: "Is this the extinguished god-star?"

Everyone observed for a while and replied: "Probably."

Neggris then pointed toward the direction they had come from and said: "This direction is the way we came—so what is this point? We didn't see any massive object when we came this way."

Ang said: "There is—an energy well."

An energy well refers to a location where energy potential is low, causing surrounding energy to converge toward it, forming the well. Its formation can stem from many causes: spatial rifts, massive objects, or even something rapidly consuming energy.

Their intensity varies greatly—some energy wells can contain entities like Lania, the branch master, while others might be nothing more than tiny spatial holes too small for a head to pass through. However, anything visible in 'Ang's Vision' must be of considerable intensity.

Doroken couldn't help but exclaim: "This device can detect spatial strength fluctuations and undulations—it's truly miraculous! Besides the adults' vision, I've never seen any equipment capable of sensing spatial changes."

The mage academy possesses many devices for sensing spatial rifts and fluctuations, and key locations often have spatial magic equipment like teleportation blockers—but devices for detecting spatial variation and oscillation? Truly nonexistent. Compared to 'Ang's Vision,' they're not even in the same league. Doroken dismissed them outright.

Once the first star-divine artifact was completed, it could be taught like magic. Soon everyone learned it and named it 'The King's Vision.' After tinkering with it, Hisro improved it by encasing it in a horn-shaped shell.

"This way, the vision range will be extended," Hisro said.

Meanwhile, Doroken wrapped his in a circular shell: "When I hold it facing outward, I can focus the vision in a single direction."

Everyone eagerly studied these two variants, but Neggris couldn't help sighing: "Too bad—it only detects spatial changes, and its resolution is low. It can't sense tiny spatial shifts, and it's not even one-tenth as clear as Ang's Vision."

Hearing this, others couldn't help but roll their eyes—especially the king.

Neggris is the type who talks big while sitting comfortably—he dares to share Ang's Vision at any moment, but without him carrying it, others wouldn't even dare to think of doing so.

Yet the king lacks a soul-link with Ang and cannot share the vision. Now, by creating a star-descendant avatar, he can sense spatial changes—equivalent to constantly sharing Ang's Vision. A bit of blur? No problem at all.

Still, he's right: 'The King's Vision' can only sense large-scale spatial shifts and undulations, unlike Ang's, which can quantify exact values. It's merely a rudimentary spatial detector.

With the first artifact's success, everyone began crafting their own exclusive artifacts—weapons, armor, observatory towers, and other things.

Neggris specially crafted for himself a Book of Bronze.

Antony, puzzled, asked: "What are you making this for? The Book of Bronze isn't even a real book—can you restore its function?"

The Book of Bronze is no ordinary book—it's a tome capable of sealing concepts and granting them independent consciousness and thought. The former Red Star and Truth Cannon were once heroic spirits—not actual people, but concepts forged by collective belief and given form from nothing—essentially, concepts ascended to godhood.

Yet the Book of Bronze can contain them, bestow consciousness and thought, and even create life from nothing—giving rise to two beings.

This function might have seemed trivial before, but now, with higher understanding, looking back, we see it as a book capable of generating incremental creation.

Ang could do this too—but he already is an incremental entity, the Seven Forces Unified Origin, and Lord of the God-Star.

Yet the Book of Bronze is merely Neggris's vessel—it can produce incremental creation from the start, and its origins are certainly not simple.

Upon reflection, it resembles a weakened version of the Layered Ghost: the Layered Ghost records god-stars, while this one records concepts.

Neggris held up the book and said: "Why restore it? The Book of Bronze's power isn't as strong as Ang's—I could just borrow Ang's power instead."

Saying this, Neggris opened the first page of the Book of Bronze: "You are a tree-planting skeleton. You can plant any tree anywhere. The first tree you successfully grow shall become the World Tree. Come forth, Tree-Planting Skeleton, Little Bone."

As Neggris spoke, the book's pages flashed with a rapidly appearing skeleton illustration, then burst into intense light—a skeletal phantom shot out and quickly solidified.

Antony exclaimed in surprise: "Little Bone? Really? Didn't Little Bone reincarnate onto the Abyssal Maw?"

Little Bone has already reincarnated into the Abyssal Maw's body and even planted many trees—but Neggris lacks the power to summon him back.

Neggris said: "This isn't Little Bone—it's merely a concept I created: the Tree-Planting Skeleton. Little Bone is familiar to me, so I used him as a template. This god-star is too barren—I'm having Little Bone come here to plant some trees." Antony and Emperor Luoni exchanged bewildered glances.

Creating gods from concepts to generate incremental beings—just to find a skeleton to plant trees? What level of wasteful extravagance is this?

This is Ang's power—Neggris is merely borrowing it. But only Neggris would dare misuse it like this. What a damnable, wasteful lizard.

"And yours? What is your artifact?" Neggris turned to Antony and asked.

Everyone else had already displayed their artifacts—only Antony remained without one.

Antony spread his hands, and his papal crown swiftly flowed across his body, radiating golden holy light. His solemn voice echoed across the field: "My artifact is—The Star Lord's Chariot."

As he spoke, a phantom of a massive chariot pulled by ten god-stars surged from his body, solidifying into a golden, radiant object in the dark void, gleaming with holy light—magnificent beyond compare.

As the Star Lord's Chariot took shape, the distant void suddenly echoed with the voice of the former star-forger: "Damn it, what is this thing? It dazzled my eyes!"
