Chapter 2589 / Chapter 2590

It's like farming for Holy Relic. Is this Holy Relic usable? Yes. Does it have many effective stats? That's another matter.

If you spend a lot of Crystals to synthesize a high-level Miraculous Item, but all the attributes are wrong, then you won't be laughing.

'Then I'll leave it to you.' Chen Li closed his eyes.

[Understood. Oh, by the way, the preparations for the Miraculous Item are complete; you should start crafting Miraculous Item.] the Pixie reminded me.

After hearing the Pixie's reminder, Chen Li propped himself up on the bed and turned to look at the Artifact Forging Furnace placed not far away.

At this moment, blue flames were burning on the Artifact Forging Furnace, and within the flames, a golden rectangular card was floating up and down in the raging fire, with countless words slowly emerging from the golden card like threads.

That golden rectangular card was the beginner's Miraculous Item, the [Summoning Ticket].

[Oh, by the way, I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with designing the room layout of the new carriages like this?] the Pixie asked hesitantly.

"I feel great. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Chen Li tilted his head.

Are you sure?

"I'm sure." Chen Li looked around the interior of his newly built carriage and nodded with considerable satisfaction.

As Chen Li's gaze swept across the area, the interior of the carriage came into view.

A very spacious room, with a super large double bed in the center that could comfortably sleep four people.

Two meters to the right of the bed was the Artifact Forging Furnace, its blue flames casting a ghostly blue glow over half the room.

Looking further away, there's a sofa and coffee table against the wall, providing a place for people to rest.

A huge projector and a television are embedded in the opposite wall.

In the corner of the room, there stood an enormous computer desk equipped with three screens.

These are indeed common household items, but it looks strange to cramm them all into the same room.

Although the Pixie wasn't human, Pixie still felt a bit strange to cram all these things into one large room.

Shouldn't it be divided into smaller rooms to create different functional areas? Like a three-bedroom, one-living-room layout.

But seeing that Chen Li's expression seemed genuinely nonchalant, the Pixie didn't say anything more.

Boys' ideas about decorating are definitely different from others.

The Pixie even suspected that if the Hyperion hadn't been so large, Chen Li might have been able to park a Hyperion in this room.

"See? Now I can forge Miraculous Item just by getting out of bed. Isn't that more convenient than building a forge?" Chen Li out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked over to the Artifact Forging Furnace.

[Anyway, it's your room, so you can decorate it however you like.] The Pixie gave up trying to persuade her.

Chapter 2589

Chen Li stroked his chin, looking at the Summoning Ticket in front of him that only needed him to add some more Crystals to upgrade it into One-star Artifact, and fell into deep thought.

The overall structure of the Summoning Ticket Miraculous Item is actually quite complete, so you only need to spend Crystals to increase the brightness of its attributes, and it will naturally transform from a beginner Miraculous Item into One-star Artifact.

However, since the final result is that the beginner's Miraculous Summoning Talisman has been changed to One-star Artifact Summoning Ticket, which is an upgrade rather than a new creation, it does not count as an increase in the number of Miraculous Item.

Therefore, Chen Li needs to forge another new Miraculous Item.

After all, we can't waste the opportunity to synthesize [Genius Little Trash], can we?

The difference is that this time, the material used to synthesize [Genius Little Trash] is Summoning Ticket.

'As long as I control the remaining entries and add a lot of surplus Miracle Fire... then when synthesizing [Genius Little Trash], since there are no other materials available, I can only use them to increase the brightness of the entries. But... what kind of Miraculous Item should I create?' Chen Li muttered to himself, sorting out his thoughts.

It's not that there are too few Miraculous Items to be crafted, but rather that there are too many.

'Let me think. Which of the current Aeon is still idle? Nanook has gone to Trailblaze the Sea of Quantum with the [Guardian of Human Order] on his back, Aha has the [Joyful Judgment], the Hunt Aeon Lan has the [Peaceful Longbow], A Kivili's train has the Ram Miraculous Item, the Erudition has [Spring for the Mentally Disabled], Kliper has [Let's Explore the Areas Ahead Later]...'

In Chen Li's view, all the Aeon were excellent candidates for Artifact Wielder.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility...

Chen Li wouldn't be held hostage by that statement, but that didn't stop Chen Li from using it to hold others hostage.

Moreover, Chen Li provides them with Miraculous Items, and they can also expand their Path in other worlds. In Chen Li's view, they should thank him.

[Uh, if I remember correctly, weren't you planning to give the [Joyful Judgment] Miraculous Item to Feiying? To let her preside over the Holy Grail War?] the Pixie reminded her.

'Who says a Miraculous Item can't be held by two people? Why not just get a projection for Aha? I'll even cover the Starstones cost for the projection [Joyful Judgment],' Chen Li said casually.

[If Aha knew this news, he would be overjoyed.] the Pixie said quietly.

"It was nothing," Chen Li said casually.

"[... You really think I'm praising you?]" The Pixie's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"Oh, I've got it! I can forge a Miraculous Item for Taiyi." Chen Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly.

"Are you trying to change the subject?" the Pixie asked uncertainly.

'I've thought about creating an octagonal cage Miraculous Item for Taiyi that can materialize disasters and difficulties. And coincidentally, as the Order Aeon, Taiyi becomes stronger the more people crave protection... Hmm, I've decided on this one.' Chen Li stroked his chin, finding it increasingly feasible.

The raging disaster is personified as a defeatable enemy, then thrown into an octagonal cage for Taiyi to beat up.

Once the disaster is defeated, the real-world disaster is also resolved.

Simple and direct, but effective.

After making his decision, Chen Li took out a series of items from his personal storage space and casually tossed them into the Artifact Forging Furnace. The moment the items were engulfed by the blue flames, new entries began to emerge continuously.

Of course, these miscellaneous props are merely embellishments. The most important part of this Miraculous Item is...

Chen Li took out a Miracle Card that emitted a strange luster from his pocket, examined it for a moment, and then threw it into the Artifact Forging Furnace.

"Isn't that the [Audience of Divine Ceremony] Miracle Card? That's a real investment!" the Pixie exclaimed in surprise.

This Miracle Card was obtained from Amphoreus.

Once you've collected enough clues and pieced them together into a complete story, you can create a duplicate story simply by tearing it up if you're not satisfied with the ending.

By defeating all the enemies that spawn in the dungeon, this imperfect story can be transformed into the way the audience expects it.

In other words, it means using one's own strength to beat the whole world and make the world change.

Of course, Taiyi might not be able to go to the point of beating up the entire world. But Chen Li doesn't need Taiyi to do anything so extreme; he just needs to resolve some of the disasters currently raging in this world.

Taiyi needs to address the symptoms. The root cause can be left to [Emperor's Proof].

Justice delayed is justice denied. The sooner we resolve a raging disaster, the less suffering the world's inhabitants will endure.

The task of ensuring these creatures enjoy happiness should be left to the Paradise Alliance.

"It's not exactly a huge investment. Anyway, with the [Fictional Historian] Miracle Card, even if the Miracle Card is forged into Miraculous Item, I can replicate it whenever I want to use it," Chen Li said nonchalantly.

As Chen Li added a dozen more Crystals to the Artifact Forging Furnace, the Miracle Fire instantly grew several times stronger, the blue flames suddenly soared, and the extraction speed of the newly added materials' attributes also increased significantly.

The rate at which material extracts terms is not constant. As long as the heat is strong enough, it can extract terms quickly.

There's nothing Miracle Crystal can't do if you're willing to pay more.

As the entry for crafting Miraculous Items gradually became complete, Chen Li opened his palm, and the Miraculous Forging hammer appeared out of thin air in Chen Li hand.

"Clang!"

A crisp clang of metal striking metal rang out in the room.

However, thanks to the excellent sound insulation of the new Astral Express carriages, the sound did not travel outside; it only echoed within the room for a moment before falling silent.

Meanwhile, within the Fate Invitation Space.

"Ancestor, you must be tired too? Why don't you let Dan Heng take over for you?" Himeko said with some concern, looking at World-Painting who was still standing in front of the cross.

Before the two of them lay Guiji, bound to a cross, his body Guiji with residual purple electric arcs.

"Please don't call me that anymore..." World-Painting said with a somewhat awkward expression.

"The ancestral laws cannot be changed." Himeko shook her head slightly.

Although she was indeed his ancestor in terms of kinship, World-Painting still felt very uncomfortable being called "ancestor" by a younger person who looked to be about the same age as her.

Before World-Painting could say anything, Feiying burst out laughing.

World-Painting turned her head and glanced at Feiying with a hint of helplessness.

"I wasn't laughing." Feiying immediately covered her mouth and shook her head repeatedly.

Who else could it be but you?

World-Painting sighed and put away the whip in her hand.

After relentlessly lashing out at Guiji for so long, the resentment that had accumulated over countless years had indeed dissipated considerably. Although it was impossible for it to completely disappear, at least he no longer felt the urge to slap Guiji the moment he saw his face, just like before.

"Alright, alright. After whipping Guiji for so long, his resentment has dissipated quite a bit. What should we do next, Master?" World-Painting said, turning to look at Pearl beside her.

"Do as you please," Pearl said, somewhat flattered.

Although Pearl summoned World-Painting as her Master, Pearl herself had no interest in the Holy Grail. Her purpose in summoning World-Painting was never to win the Holy Grail War, but to study World-Painting's Imagenesis techniques.

"But aren't we participating in the Holy Grail War?" World-Painting tilted her head, looking at Pearl with some confusion.

"I have no interest in the Holy Grail. But if you are, you might as well travel with Feiying. She is also a participant in this Holy Grail War." Pearl tilted her head slightly, shifting her gaze to Feiying beside her.

"Huh? Isn't this Holy Grail War adapted from the Phantasmoon Games? You, the arbitrator, are getting involved too?" World-Painting looked at Feiying with some surprise.

"I can't help it. How about we go to the New Penacony and cause a huge scene!"

Chapter 2590

Feiying shrugged, then her eyes lit up.

"Huh?" World-Painting was taken aback.

"You're always stuck in the World in the Paintings, you're practically bored to death. And why don't you come with me for a stroll? You've never left Hatopia, and neither have I, have I? Come on!" Feiying grabbed World-Painting's hand and pulled her towards the entrance of the Invitation Space without any hesitation.

"What about him?" After being pulled to the door, World-Painting subconsciously turned her head to look at Guiji, who was still tied to the cross behind her, and asked with some worry.

"Don't worry about him. If he manages to escape right under our benefactor's nose, I'll take his surname," Feiying said nonchalantly.

"Hey, why are you eating and taking things at the same time?" Xing couldn't help but complain from the side.

"What do you mean?" Feiying tilted her head.

"Murata Ryusuke the Murata family, which means he took the Murata Family's surname. This must be a tradition of the Duality Paradise, right? Don't tell me you, a local of the Duality Paradise, don't know this." Xing said with a matter-of-fact expression.

"Ahem... This is just to show I'm not worried about Guiji running away. Alright, alright, World-Painting and I are going to cause a ruckus at New Penacony, you guys continue." Feiying coughed lightly, somewhat guiltily avoiding Xing's gaze.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Himeko nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Come on, come on, I'll take you to see the excitement!" Feiying pulled World-Painting out of the Invitation Space and said excitedly, grabbing World-Painting's arm.

"What's all the commotion about?" World-Painting was a little taken aback by Feiying's enthusiasm.

"And this lively event seems to be very much your destiny," Feiying winked.

"What do you mean?" World-Painting pressed.

"In New Penacony, there is a Master who is Created Being of the other party's world. And the Servant she summons is his deceased creator... It's like the relationship between an artist and Imagenae. Now you are the artist, and I am the Imagenae. Isn't this a coincidence? Let's go, let's show each other who the true progenitor of Imagenesis is!" Feiying became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

"But my Master isn't you," World-Painting pointed out the most crucial issue with a hint of helplessness.

World-Painting's Master is Pearl. Feiying is just one of the Holy Relics in the summoning ritual.

"Hey, what are you saying? If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who can tell? Just tell me if I'm the Master and you're the Servant. That's what you call a clash of titans!" Feiying waved her hand, looking completely self-righteous.

Logically speaking, everything Feiying said was correct. Feiying is indeed Master, World-Painting is indeed Servant. They just aren't in the same group.

But Feiying clearly didn't see this as a problem.

Looking into Feiying's bright eyes, World-Painting nodded somewhat helplessly.

That's true. After living in the World in the Paintings for so many years, it's definitely time to go out and see the world.

Inside the Invitation Space, after watching Feiying and World-Painting leave, Himeko withdrew her gaze and looked at Pearl beside her.

"The Lady. Pearl, aren't you going to the Holy Grail War with Ancestor World-Painting? Isn't that something you've always looked forward to?" Himeko asked curiously.

"No need for now. Now that we know World-Painting is still alive, there's plenty of time. There are more important things to do right now." Pearl shook her head, her tone calm.

As Pearl spoke, her gaze inadvertently swept towards the direction of the new carriage of the Astral Express, but this subtle shift in gaze went unnoticed by anyone.

"What's more important?" Himeko asked curiously.

Pearl didn't answer, only smiled slightly. Seeing this, Himeko didn't ask any further questions.

Indeed... a strategist's thoughts are never suitable to be discussed openly.
