We Can't Be Bothered Explaining—You're Not Worthy of Hearing It

"What's so strange about that? When I equip Four-Word Mecha and a God-level Mecha, my aura and Soul Power pressure also increase geometrically, don't they?"

Their friendship was the kind where they mercilessly mocked each other, so Zhen Hua did not even spare him a glance before launching straight into ridicule.

"Is your cultivation comparable to Di Tian's?"

"Within the Limit Douluo realm, the effects of a God-level Mecha diminish in sequence. Four-Word Battle Armor can push a Limit Douluo at the demigod level into the Quasi-God realm, but for a Limit Douluo already in the Quasi-God realm, the boost is insignificant."

"Di Tian's cultivation must now surpass that of a Quasi-God Limit Douluo. Even if Four-Word Battle Armor and a God-level Mecha work in tandem, they could not possibly provide him with much of a boost."

At those words, Mu Ye immediately understood, and his face turned incomparably grim.

"You mean Di Tian's battle armor has reached the five-word level the sages once theorized about—the god level?!"

Zhen Hua's expression was equally dreadful, and even his voice trembled slightly.

"I'm afraid it isn't just the battle armor. There's also the mecha..."

The so-called Red God-level Mecha had originally been forged from Heaven Forged Metal. It was god-level merely in name and could not be considered truly divine.

Heavens! How could such a terrifying monster emerge among humanity's enemies?!

Damn heavens! The heavens truly did not favor mankind!

At that moment, Di Tian's continuously rising aura reached its peak and began undergoing a major transformation.

The black-gold battle armor became increasingly mysterious, weighty, and profound, exuding an endless majesty while keeping its divine power tightly restrained.

The external mecha changed even more dramatically. The uniform red of the original God-level Mecha was altered, replaced by the same black-and-gold color scheme as the battle armor.

This change in color was not a natural transformation, but Di Tian's deliberate choice.

There was no particular reason. It just looked cool!

It did not affect his combat power anyway. Changing it to colors he liked also put him in a better mood.

Having already formed life bonds with the battle armor and mecha, he could naturally control them as he pleased with a thought.

With a movement of Di Tian's Divine Sense, the battle armor and mecha immediately vanished beneath his skin.

This was an exclusive ability of Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha: life spirituality. Whenever they were needed again, a thought of Divine Sense was all it took to condense the armor from thin air.

What Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha could do, Di Tian's battle armor that had already advanced toward five words and his True God-level Mecha could naturally accomplish even more easily.

Seeing Di Tian finish and withdraw his power, Zhen Hua and Mu Ye exchanged a glance. Both could see the shock and worry in the other's eyes.

They were shocked because they did not know whether Di Tian's battle armor and mecha had advanced again. They were worried because, if they truly had, the Curse Array they had inscribed might have been exposed.

In a fine mood, Di Tian seemed to have read their minds and answered their doubts in passing.

"You guessed correctly. This set of battle armor and mecha has indeed advanced to the five-word level and true god level. Or, if you prefer, you may call them divine artifacts."

"Of course, they are still lacking somewhat for me. I have only initially fused with these two divine artifacts. They still require a long period of adjustment before they can truly become divine artifacts I can wield as effortlessly as my own limbs."

Di Tian's affirmative answer extinguished their final shred of hope, sending their already heavy hearts plunging into the abyss.

However, since Di Tian had chosen to explain this to them, his purpose certainly could not have been as simple as teaching them and answering their questions.

His finger lightly swept through the air, then bent and traced a series of points. A complex formation gradually took shape.

The instant it formed, violet-black demonic mist coiled around it, radiating a chilling cold that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Tsk, a Curse Array. It specifically damages the soul."

"If the battle armor or mecha were damaged by someone else's attack, these sinister runes and curses would activate and deal me a fatal blow."

"But mortal methods are ultimately incapable of affecting divine artifacts. When the battle armor and mecha advanced into divine artifacts, this curse was automatically cleansed away."

"What I did not expect was that Zhen Hua, a Divine Blacksmith, and Mu Ye, the sect master of the Original Body Sect, would actually employ the methods of Evil Soul Masters."

"Hmph!" Now that they had been discovered, the hot-tempered Mu Ye decided to go all out.

"Any method that can deal with you is a good method."

Di Tian neither agreed nor disagreed.

"But no matter what method you use, once you have done it, you have done it. And once you have done it, you must accept punishment."

He sneered at Zhen Hua. "You didn't really think I wouldn't notice you secretly observing my daily habits, did you?"

"You have time to study my routine, so it seems that one set of Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha every half year still isn't urgent enough."

"How about this? The overall time will be reduced by one-third. From now on, forge one set of Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha every four months."

"That's impossible!" Before Zhen Hua could say anything, Mu Ye angrily rejected it.

"With such a massive project and so many procedures, it is simply impossible to complete it in four months."

"I am not discussing this with you, and you are not qualified to bargain." Di Tian's voice grew colder.

"Besides, President Zhen Hua should have a method of burning life force to increase forging efficiency."

"I have read blacksmiths' notes that recorded similar forging methods."

Mu Ye shouted furiously.

"Burning life force to increase the forging speed of Heaven Forged Metal—is that a forging method that can be used regularly?!"

"Are you trying to kill him?!"

"Hehe, what does that have to do with me?"

At last, Zhen Hua stepped in and grabbed Mu Ye, who was on the verge of flying into a rage and fighting for his life.

"Fine," he said in a deep voice.

"Lord Beast God, could you tell me why your battle armor was able to evolve from four words into five-word god-level armor?"

"For you, it may be no more than opening your mouth, but for a blacksmith like me, it is a problem I may never solve in my entire life."

"If I understand the properties of this transformation, I can better help the soul beasts forge battle armor and mecha."

"I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me."

Di Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and stared intently at Zhen Hua, who had suddenly begun addressing him with honorifics.

"Of course, I could tell you. But why should I?"

"Hehe~"

"You two should work hard. Your time is running out." With that double meaning, Di Tian turned and left.

Zhen Hua's little scheme was practically written all over his face. How could Di Tian fail to see through it?

He merely hoped that human soul masters' battle armor could also advance to five words, allowing them to deal with him.

Indeed, it would not matter if Di Tian told them that divine power and Divine Sense were needed to nurture it. Human soul masters had no divine power, nor could they refine Dragon God Bloodline as he could, taking a different path and advancing through unconventional means.

But he could not be bothered to explain. These two were not worthy of hearing it.

After leaving the Large Forging Room where the two were located, Di Tian headed directly to Xue Ling's room.

Ever since deciding to learn mecha repair, Xue Ling had rarely gone out.

With guidance from famous teachers, she had already gained an initial grasp of mecha repair.

The cultivation environment of the human world was far inferior to the core region of the Far North Land, so Xue Ling devoted more time and effort to mecha training than to cultivation.
