Five-Word Battle Armor and True God-level Mecha. "Let's see what new tricks you two can come up with."
Di Tian narrowed his golden eyes and used his finger as a brush, drawing water for ink.
But
With a flick of his fingers, he gathered the ink away, then handed the scroll over. Only after Xue Ling and Zi Ji, both intensely curious, had examined the four design blueprints did he return it to Xie Yinling.
He then tossed out a piece of Gold of Life. The life force flowing from it shook Xie Yinling to the core. Though he did not know the name of this metallic stone, he could still tell that it was extraordinarily valuable.
He then recalled President Zhen Hua's warning, forcibly steadied himself, and bowed as he withdrew from the room.
For a period afterward, Di Tian asked Zhen Hua for several rooms and settled down there.
Zi Ji stayed for a few days, arranged the time for her next visit, and prepared to leave.
After all, she still had to earn merit by following her master. She could not simply do nothing.
Before leaving, she even voluntarily stripped off one of her True Dragon's Reverse Scales and forcibly stuffed it into Di Tian's hand, giving him an equally forceful reason: if the plan changed, he could contact her at any time through the reverse scale.
Driven by curiosity, Xue Ling toured the Forging Masters Association and all of Heaven Dou City. With strength comparable to a Titled Douluo and Di Tian's reverse scale concealing her aura, she did not encounter any absurd melodramatic incidents in Heaven Dou City.
However, after only a few days of sightseeing and sampling many things superficially, she quickly returned to Di Tian's side and told him that she wanted to learn mecha repair.
Although mecha repair was not especially useful during the creation of battle armor and mechas, it served no small purpose in later maintenance, repairs, and assisting with synchronization.
After all, these were battle armors and mechas for soul beasts. They could not always rely on humans for repairs and maintenance. Some things were better handled through self-sufficiency.
Xue Ling wanted to do something for the soul beast race, so how could Di Tian refuse? Naturally, he gladly agreed and gave her his full support.
The Forging Masters Association Headquarters had a divine craftsman like Zhen Hua, as well as high-level mecha designers and manufacturers like Mu Ye. Naturally, it also had high-level Mecha Repairers. Finding Xue Ling an instructor in mecha repair could not have been easier.
And what was Di Tian himself doing?
Well... he was reading.
Of course, he was not reading to cultivate his sensibilities.
The books he read were all longstanding collections of the Forging Masters Association. Most were notes left behind by high-level forging masters, concepts concerning Four-Word Battle Armor and beyond, as well as theories on true god-level metals after Heaven Forged Metal.
Even the finest Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mechas could only provide negligible enhancement to him as a Million Year Soul Beast. They could not play much of a role.
Not just for him—even for humans whose cultivation had reached the Quasi-God realm of Limit Douluo, the enhancement from Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mechas would not be substantial. At most, they would offer considerable benefits when it came to preserving one's life.
However, unlike the speculative records in the books he read, Di Tian knew for certain that Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mechas could indeed advance to stronger levels: Five-Word Battle Armor and true God-level Mechas! Both were genuine divine artifacts, nearly indistinguishable from true divine equipment. Even for a Million Year Soul Beast like him, they would be of some use.
Yet Five-Word Battle Armor and True God-level Mechas were not things humans could forge. Only the prolonged nurturing of a god's divine power and Divine Sense could catalyze their advancement.
But Di Tian currently possessed only Divine Sense, not divine power. Though he had more than enough Soul Power, its quality was clearly lacking.
Therefore, Di Tian wanted to use the Forging Masters Association's archives to study the current era's concepts of top-tier battle armor and mechas, hoping to find another path that could give rise to Five-Word Battle Armor and True God-level Mechas.
Unfortunately, he found only conjectures regarding the forging of god-level metals and whether Four-Word Battle Armor could advance further, all within the notes of divine craftsman-level forgers. The records stopped abruptly there, without offering any practical method.
When Di Tian searched for methods of nurturing battle armor and mechas with one's own power to improve their quality, he found only that such a method could be used when Three-Word Battle Armor advanced into Four-Word Battle Armor.
For example, En Ci, who was recorded in the archives; the Evil Soul Master Ha Luosa, whom Di Tian knew of but who was not recorded; and some Limit Douluos throughout history.
All of them had used Divine Sense and Spiritual Power, powerful Soul Power and strength, along with the high-level bloodline power they had cultivated, to forcibly raise their Three-Word Battle Armor by an entire tier.
In eras when there were no divine craftsmen, or when they had no opportunity to seek one out, they became Four-Word Battle Armor Masters.
These things gave Di Tian inspiration. Since battle armor could be nurtured through one's own abilities and forcibly raised in rank, perhaps the same method could be used to advance Four-Word Battle Armor into Five-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mechas into True God-level Mechas.
It was true that he lacked divine power, but his current strength was still slightly greater than that of gods who had only recently ascended. Moreover, his Dragon God Bloodline possessed uniquely superior advantages compared to human bloodlines.
Or rather, when it came to bloodline advantages, soul beasts generally surpassed humans.
None of humanity's strongest had yet used this method to advance battle armor into Five-Word Battle Armor, but their inability did not mean Di Tian could not do it.
Even among the strongest humans, only their Spiritual Power transformed into Divine Sense could match his. The rest were mediocre and far inferior to him.
With the Dragon God Bloodline as the foundation and strength nearly equal to a god, along with Divine Sense, as support, success was not impossible.
After all, even something that casually fell from the Dragon God in the past would at least be a divine artifact.
Its heart had become the Super Divine Artifact Dragon God Core, its Dragon Horns had become the divine artifact Dragon Slaying Saber, and the forty-ninth rib of its avatar, the Golden Dragon King, had become the divine artifact Golden Dragon Spear...
Hm! With the Dragon God Bloodline, the advantage was mine!
After confirming that there was no better unconventional or risky method, Di Tian immediately got to work, continuously tempering the Dragon God Bloodline within his body.
In other words, he used the Dragon God Core and Dragon God Claw to stimulate the Dragon God lineage hidden within his bloodline, causing it to manifest continuously.
After resting for a time, he would stimulate the evolution and manifestation of the Dragon God Bloodline a second and third time, hoping that once the Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mechas had been forged, he would possess a sufficiently dense and abundant Dragon God Bloodline to help advance them into Five-Word Battle Armor and True God-level Mechas.
This preparation lasted half a year.
During those six months, Zhen Hua and Mu Ye scarcely stepped outside the Forging Masters Association Headquarters. They ate, drank, relieved themselves, and slept entirely within it.
Whenever they needed to contact the outside world, they sent others in their place. They were even forced to reject forging requests from many factions, drawing the dissatisfaction of countless people and forces.
At last, within those six months, they successfully forged the first set of Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mechas in history suitable for soul beasts.
Moreover, the materials used surpassed those of every battle armor and mecha in the world, making them the greatest of their kind in history.
Yet these two creations, which should have made every divine craftsman and mecha maker proud, left Zhen Hua and Mu Ye—their exhausted creators—with grim expressions.
