A Divine Artifact—that was a title reserved for items that had reached the absolute pinnacle. Even the most elite Secret Treasure Masters in the Secret Treasure Master Association today could not produce a single Divine Artifact!
Throughout history, Divine Artifacts had all been renowned. For example, Arthas's Frostmourne, which could freeze the passage to the land of the dead; Sargeras' Eye, crafted from the Abyss's First Demon God's original demonic body; the First Lord's peerless weapon, which had nearly slaughtered the entire dragon race; and their own lord's Mirror Flower, Water Moon, which could cross the entire universe!
Every one of those items was earth-shaking. At times, they could even alter the course of the universe. For such an object to appear on a lowly Little Celestial God was truly... very unreasonable!
"Are you... sure?" Ya Ling's eyes widened.
"Not... entirely sure..." Iluvatar shook her head. "But if it were merely an alchemical tool or a Sacred Artifact, it shouldn't be able to block my Mental Strength. And it wasn't just blocking my Mental Strength. At the seal, that thing could even help him withstand the aura from the outer domain!"
"I see..." Ya Ling stroked her chin, growing curious. The aura at the seal was enough to overwhelm even a Heavenly Origin expert. No matter how mysterious a Little Lord in his teens might be, he shouldn't have been able to endure it. If he really could speak with him normally, as my lord said, then he must have borrowed external power. A Divine Artifact could indeed do that...
"So what did he come to tell you?" Ya Ling asked curiously.
"He made me promise to protect Little Cabbage's safety. Otherwise, he would take her away..." Iluvatar answered honestly, as honest as ever.
"He really dared to say that..."
