"Of course it's that idiot Li Deweidensi! He was the successor to Sharptooth, and when he died, he should have chosen a new Sword Holder —but he stubbornly hid me away! That idiot, that pig, he failed Sharptooth's expectations!"

The divine sword was quite resentful:

"Li Deweidensi is a coward. He should have continued fighting! That society has already invaded White Candle Star on a massive scale. Our people are suffering and being slaughtered, yet he hides me and refuses to use the power of the gods. How foolish!"

Li Aoz blinked.

—Liddell Li Deweidensi ...is the Heroic Spirit Overseer from the ruins of the [Hero of Pharassia].

He hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Uh, are you sure? Is it possible that Li Deweidensi is no longer able to fight, and that's why he's trying to preserve his strength by burying his weapons so they won't be discovered by outsiders...? This is just a hypothesis, and it might not be correct."

"I'm certain that Li Deweidensi is a warrior in his prime! He's only 35, riding a tall horse, wielding a blade and magic, just like Sharp Tooth Peak in his youth... yet he's given up the fight."

The Divine Sword's tone was filled with disappointment and anger. "Sharp Tooth Peak died in battle, a god who died on the road to fight the invaders, yet he refused to use my power, treating me as a relic and a treasure. This is simply a desecration of Sharp Tooth Peak —I will not forgive him, I will never forgive him!"

Although Li Aoz hasn't seen the entire plot, he can make a clear guess based on the information he has now.

According to the game's background setting, the Pharassia Civilization was a group of refugees from the Haynes Planet. They lived and recuperated on the White Candle Star, but were still hunted down by the "society".

The last hero of the Pharassia Civilization, ' Sharp Tooth Peak ', was a champion of war, steadfastly resisting the invasion of 'Society', and nearly ascended to godhood.

Even a god is powerless against the fierce onslaught of society. At the end of his life, Sharp Tooth Peak passed his weapon to his successor, Li Deweidensi, hoping that Li Deweidensi would wield the divine sword and continue the fight.

Li Deweidensi clearly failed to do so, otherwise he wouldn't have transformed into an evil spirit, cowering in the underground ruins. He hid the divine sword his mentor had given him, abandoned the fight, and instead guarded the safety of the ruins.

Judging from the outcome, the Pharassia Civilization was likely destroyed by that [society].

However, the divine sword was unaware of this outcome.

As a divine artifact, it has no concept of time. At this moment, several thousand years have passed since the destruction of the Pharassia Civilization, and White Candle Star has become the academy planet of the Crystal Tower Civilization.

After talking for a while, Li Aoz discovered that the divine sword harbored great malice towards Li Deweidensi.

Even after so much time has passed, it still hasn't gotten over being sidelined by Li Deweidensi.

It loved and missed its former master, and originally held Li Deweidensi, the successor to the Sharp Tooth Peak, in high esteem. But Li Deweidensi hid it away without a word, completely neglecting the existence of the divine sword.

The Divine Sword could not accept this.

But the divine sword was unaware that thousands of years had passed, and Li Deweidensi was no longer the spirited knight he once was; he had become a twisted evil spirit.

"If you ever run into Li Deweidensi, you absolutely must have me chop off his head! He betrayed Sharp Tooth Peak... unforgivable."

Despite his indignation, the Divine Sword still considered the existence of Li Aoz:

"Alright, now that you 'Sword Holder, do you have any questions? It seems you weren't planning on melting me down and selling me for scrap. Great job, you must be very clever, because my sword is made of adamantite and mithril, selling it as scrap would be a huge loss."

Following the Walkthrough discovered by players, Li Aoz continued asking, "What are your thoughts on Sharp Tooth Peak?"

"Sharp Tooth Peak, Kario Smith. He was my creator and master. He was a brave warrior, a fearless god, and I could not describe how good he was even with all the beautiful words I knew—his only flaw was that he was dead."

Shenjian's tone immediately became somber.

My Li Aoz.

Li Aoz said.

"Lioz? What a cliché name. I know many people choose names of gods and angels to wish themselves a bright future—but, well, if I may be so bold, it's a really stupid name, though it suits you quite well."

The artifact is immune to the [Charm] system, and bluntly commented:

"You're good-looking, but your name is stupid. If I were you, I would call myself 'Super Cosmic Lord' or 'Invincible Steel Overlord' or 'Heavenly Mighty Emperor'."

Li Aoz was speechless at the naming skill of the divine sword, and continued to ask, "I am currently hunting down society, would you be willing to assist me?"

"Killing society? Fine, fine, but let me make this clear beforehand: I will not acknowledge you as my master. Although Li Deweidensi betrayed me, he is still my master. You have to deal with him first before you can gain my approval."

Li Aoz's system immediately popped up a Side Quest, "Divine Sword Awakening." Without even looking, he knew what the reward would be.

Artifacts that end up in the hands of players usually come with quests involving 'recognizing a master,' 'awakening,' or 'completing a skill set.' This ' Blacksmith's Sword ' is one of the few artifacts that has ended up in a player's hands; he had done this quest back then.

Unlike the Main Quest, which is full of thrills and excitement, or the Side Quest, which are often full of fun.

The quests for obtaining artifacts are all tedious and lengthy, involving either repeatedly farming materials or running errands back and forth, which is quite boring. The only reason why players who obtain artifacts don't want to waste time doing quests is because the artifacts can talk and there are people to keep them entertained along the way.

Obtaining a divine weapon doesn't necessarily make it more powerful than a normal weapon, but if you've decided to use a certain type of weapon, the divine weapon can accompany you as you grow stronger.

The task of the ' Blacksmith's Sword ' is relatively simple. This weapon has auxiliary and logistical capabilities. Li Aoz cannot easily carry the Biochemical Pool, but with the ' Blacksmith's Sword ', he can roam freely throughout the universe.

You've been silent for a long time, and now people call you the ' Fate Awakening Sword.' What do you think of this name? May I use it to refer to you?

"This is so awkward. It feels inferior to the 'Ultimate Invincible Light Demon God Tyrannosaurus Rex Saint Heavenly Ruler Dark Emperor Immortal Saint Mystic Light Sword '."

Shenjian Rui commented.

Li Aoz's eye twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back. He continued reciting the Walkthrough guide, saying:

This name is far too grand and powerful. For a mortal like me, it's simply too much to bear.

"In that case, for your sake, please call me that."

Seeing that Li Aoz was impressed by the name he had made up, Shenjian immediately showed magnanimity and consideration:

"Jannia".

A slender girl's silhouette slowly appeared before Li Aoz. She had dark golden hair, goat horns, and metallic skin without a single wrinkle. The girl's brass eyes stared directly at Li Aoz, full of interest.

"I am called Jannia, a name that Kario admires and loves."

Jannia slowly walked up to Li Aoz, crossed her arms, and looked up at Li Aoz: "By the way, if we're classifying people by gender, I'm an Alpha male. If you're interested in me, I'll pin you to the ground and have sex with you."

"Which human gender classification are you using?"

Li Aoz made a sarcastic remark.

"Huh? Are there only two genders among you people?"

"I am now Thanatos Human Race, with only two biological sexes, and I identify as male."

"Weird."

Jannia said strangely:

"Your diversity is terrible, Falicia. There are three major categories (ABO) and 97 minor categories of sexes."

Li Aoz speechless.

From the moment he met his 'bride' Alexia, he realized that people in the past had far more creative ways of having fun than people in modern times.
