True Essence Reaches Ninety Percent, and He Regrets It Too Late
Bai Qiuran did not reject the two of them.
The Newborn Machine God and the Heavenly Dao have long since taken the form of the Immortal Realm, so there's no harm in having them join in. On the contrary, they are craftsmen who are even more powerful than these individual Immortal Craftsman, and they will be of great help to this project. Moreover, with these two joining in, they might be able to learn a lot of new things from Bai Qiuran's techniques.
With the addition of these two, the progress of the entire project has been further accelerated. When it comes to creating worlds, Heavenly Dao is definitely a super veteran in this Void, and when it comes to understanding Machine Puppet, naturally no one can surpass the New Machine God who inherited the Old Machine God.
Because the Forging Factory needed to withstand the energy shock of the world's destruction, all the materials used in Forging Factory initial stages were painstakingly ground by Bai Qiuran, bit by bit.
He used the perfectly proportioned alloy created by the Machine Puppet Divine Court as the base material. Then, the Heavenly Dao was responsible for creating a new world, the New Machine God was responsible for designing the material tempering Runes, and Bai Qiuran took the materials and entered the world together, allowing the Heavenly Dao to annihilate the world. In the great explosion that destroyed the world, he tempered these base materials again and again, making them into materials even stronger than Stars Alloy.
This is a dangerous and tedious job. Even metals experience fatigue. Even the strongest person, whose physical strength can withstand a cosmic explosion, will eventually give out from constantly straining their body like this.
Only someone like Bai Qiuran, with a strong physical body and having practiced the "Fortune Body Forging Technique" like a cockroach from Saint Seiya, could persevere.
However, this was also an unexpected joy for Bai Qiuran. The energy generated when the world was destroyed was terrifying, even more concentrated and dense than the Energy Storm in the Void River. During the process of refining materials, Bai Qiuran's physical body was also refined along with it. His Purple Mansion was constantly subjected to the impact and pressure of the explosion, which began to accelerate the formation of True Essence in his body.
This caused the proportion of True Essence in his body, which had not increased rapidly for a long time, to begin to slowly increase again.
Gradually, countless years passed, Bai Qiuran slowly refined enough materials to build Forging Factory. The craftsmen also began to prepare for testing the feasibility of the foundry furnace.
At this point, Bai Qiuran had finally managed to find a little free time.
However, this guy, using the excuse that "we'll need it to make Machine Puppet in the future, so we should save on furnace wear and tear as much as possible," still tirelessly brought the materials into the new world Creation the Heavenly Dao, using his physical body to explode and compress the True Essence within his body.
However, good days always come to an end. It was still the Fortune Body Forging Technique that helped Bai Qiuran's physical strength overcome the speed of True Essence condensation in the race between compressing True Essence and training his body. When the True Essence in Bai Qiuran's body increased to 90%, even the explosion that annihilated the world no longer bothered him.
"Well... I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you."
The will of Heavenly Dao spoke frankly, then said to Bai Qiuran with emotion, "How did I come to create a monster like you?"
"I shouldn't have believed that guy's nonsense and created that damn [Fortune Body Forging Technique]."
Bai Qiuran recalled the friend who had invited him to create a physical Cultivation Technique, and felt deep regret.
"I should have killed him back then."
"You probably wouldn't be alive now if you had."
The Heavenly Dao Will said calmly, "Throughout your life, you have overcome many crises thanks to the wonders of this Cultivation Technique."
Bai Qiuran was silent for a moment, then asked with a glimmer of hope, "Um, Heavenly Dao, do you know of any place in the Void that is more dangerous than the core of the world's explosion?"
"As far as I know, I'm afraid there aren't any."
The Heavenly Dao Will remained silent for a moment before replying, "If we really want to calculate, perhaps only if I, along with Myriad Heavens and Worlds I connect to, were to self-destruct and obliterate you would there be any chance."
"Good."
Bai Qiuran rolled up his sleeves, pretending to have three strange red lines written on the back of his hand, and said to Heavenly Dao in a serious tone, "Commit suicide, Heavenly Dao- chan!"
"Roll!"
The Heavenly Dao Will cursed angrily and then fell silent.
With his path to condensing True Essence blocked again, Bai Qiuran somewhat disheartened. He returned to the foundry with the last batch of materials that had been successfully condensed into the World Alloy, only to run into Yu Renhan, who greeted him with a beaming smile.
"Immortal Ancestor, we succeeded!"
The Immortal Craftsman of Heavenly Works Workshop couldn't help but show his delight.
"Today, the world's first piece of World Alloy World Furnace!"
"Oh, um, that's perfect, then I don't need to go anymore."
Bai Qiuran waved her hand, somewhat disheartened.
"Uh, Immortal Ancestor, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Bai Qiuran's unusual behavior, Yu Renhan found it rather strange.
"Weren't you always the most active participant in global catastrophic events?"
"Nothing much, I just touched it."
Bai Qiuran held her lower back and let out a long sigh.
"When you get old, you can't deny it."
Yu Renhan was speechless upon hearing this. Although he didn't know the Immortal Ancestor's exact age, he had heard that the Immortal Ancestor was actually very "young" by the standards of Immortals.
Leaving aside himself, even a random Immortals who has just Ascension from the Central Immortal Realm would probably be older than this Immortal Ancestor.
"But success is good news."
Bai Qiuran smiled again and encouraged, "In any case, this is a great breakthrough for the entire Immortal Realm civilization."
"Yes."
Yu Renhan was overjoyed upon hearing this.
With this new foundry, the Immortals officially put the forging of this Super Machine Puppet on the agenda. The Machine God and the Book of Questions pulled the "Dao Embryo" Emperor-level Machine Puppet from the Consciousness Domain, and then the Immortal Craftsman, Ghost Craftsmen, Heavenly Dao Machine God and other beings began to work on the "Artificial Purple Mansion" where this Dao Embryo would reside.
After countless years and setbacks, the Artificial Purple Mansion was finally completed. After a temporary halt to construction, Bai Qiuran put forward his idea for Super Machine Puppet. The most outstanding craftsmen in all the Myriad Heavens and Worlds thought about it and explored it together, making great progress in the process.
Finally, after several years, a perfect design was created through the concerted efforts of everyone.
According to this design, the Forging Factory continued to operate, and after countless long years, a Giant God appeared above this Void River.
This Giant God's body was enormous, almost comparable to that of the Sight Desire Venerable had once expanded his physical body to its limit. However, unlike the somewhat useless expansion of the Super Consciousness Demon, the Giant God's enormous size truly represented his combat ability.
The Consciousness Demons are Consciousness life forms. Consciousness can be infinitely large or infinitely small and does not require the support of a material basis. However, this Giant God is a pure material creation born in the Material Realm, and can almost be regarded as the pinnacle of material creation.
His face is majestic, modeled after gods and immortals, with an extra Divine Eyes on his forehead, inlaid with one of the most powerful weapons on this Giant God's body. His body retains a human form, with two feet and two hands, standing upright, and is also equipped with several weapons to fully utilize this Giant God's advantage in close-quarters combat.
However, unlike the dazzling golden appearance of the previous creations of the Machine God, at Bai Qiuran's request, this Machine Puppet was coated with a more understated silver-gray and black, giving it a design style more akin to that of the Underworld Ghost Realm.
