There are no suns or moons on Craftsman God Planet. Just like that, Tang Ping remained here for over a year.

During this year, Tang Ping's strength in all aspects improved significantly.

First was his treasure-crafting skill. Over this past year, several of the "tools" he had previously bound were successfully taken in as disciples by the Lord of Craftsman God, which was the primary reason for the rapid advancement of this skill.

To ensure those tools received more attention and better cultivation from the Lord of Craftsman God, Tang Ping specifically increased their reward distribution ratio to 10,000:9,999,000. While not outrageously high, it was far better than the pure tools stuck at the minimum distribution ratio.

Since these individuals were talented enough to be chosen as disciples by the Lord of Craftsman God, they naturally possessed great aptitude for treasure-crafting. Under the incentive of rewards up to ten thousand times higher, even the Lord of Craftsman God was shocked by the speed of their progress.

Consequently, for the past year, the Lord of Craftsman God had been wholeheartedly cultivating these newly accepted disciples, even neglecting those he had taken in previously. There was no helping it; the gap in performance was so vast that the Lord of Craftsman God sometimes even questioned his own reality.

Of course, this was because he did not know the speed at which Tang Ping's treasure-crafting skills were improving; otherwise, he wouldn't just be questioning reality—he might have gone completely insane.

In just over a year, Tang Ping went from a layman who knew nothing about treasure-crafting to a master whose theoretical level was sufficient to craft top-tier Supreme Treasures, and who had, in practice, already successfully crafted a high-tier Supreme Treasure.

The reason he hadn't crafted a top-tier Supreme Treasure was not due to a gap between his skills and practical ability, but because he lacked the necessary conditions. The best treasure-crafting room he could rent on Craftsman God Planet was only capable of supporting the creation of high-tier Supreme Treasures.

Next was his comprehension of laws. In over a year, Tang Ping not only received the recognition of the Universe Origin Law for both the Law of Time and the Law of Space, but he also continued to advance significantly in both.

As for the other eight Lower Laws, Tang Ping had already fully comprehended them all. Currently, he was delving into the essence of these laws and searching for points of convergence between different laws.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Ping's current level of law comprehension is not the slightest bit weaker than most King Limit Immortals.

Since his gene level reached one thousand times, it was enough to compensate for the gap between the World Force of a World Lord Level and the divine power of an Immortal. Therefore, Tang Ping's actual combat power should not be weaker than an average King High-tier powerhouse—he simply lacked the explosive means of Divine Power Burning that those King Immortals possessed.

Moreover, this was without counting the Supreme Treasures Tang Ping had crafted for himself. Including those, Tang Ping estimated he could clash with a King Peak, and perhaps even hold his own against a King Limit. While he might not be able to defeat them, ensuring his own survival would be absolutely no problem.

Speaking of Supreme Treasures, Tang Ping had spent nearly half of the past year crafting his core treasure, which was also the only high-tier Supreme Treasure he had created so far.

Tang Ping named this treasure the Chaos Sword Formation. In truth, it was a complete set of Supreme Treasures consisting of 10,081 components.

It included one ordinary Supreme Treasure-level soul defense treasure, which also served as the control core for the entire set, and one ordinary Supreme Treasure-level longsword that could be used as a melee weapon. The remaining ten thousand-plus components were all small swords at the Heavy Treasure level.

The 10,081 components complemented each other, bringing the set to the level of a high-tier Supreme Treasure. In practice, it was roughly equivalent to one high-tier soul defense Supreme Treasure, one high-tier melee weapon Supreme Treasure, and one high-tier domain Supreme Treasure combined.

This set alone was equivalent to three high-tier Supreme Treasures, so it was no wonder it had taken Tang Ping such a long time to craft.

As for why he used blades before but crafted a sword formation now, it was simply because sword formations were cooler. Using blades before was only because many of his tools used blades; it wasn't that he had a personal preference for them.

In addition, Tang Ping had prepared a Flight Wing Type Supreme Treasure, a Flight Palace Type Supreme Treasure, and an Armor Type Supreme Treasure for himself. Naturally, these were all at the ordinary Supreme Treasure level.

With this, Tang Ping had essentially equipped himself with a full set of gear and could continue with his cultivation plan.

However, although he was ready to begin the next phase of his plan, Tang Ping did not intend to completely abandon Craftsman God Planet. Since he had many clones, leaving a few behind here was perfectly fine.

Oh, right, this was also one of his gains over the past year. Although three of the five clones he had when he first arrived here ended up dying while exploring those spatial vortices, leaving only two clones behind on Craftsman God Planet to craft treasures, he had since selected nine special lifeforms on the planet to serve as his new clones, all of which had already been gestated.

Fortunately, his cloning technique was a system reward and quite unique; it did not require the original body to gestate clones like others did. Clones could also gestate clones, limited only by the total number allowed.

Otherwise, if he had to send the genetic material of the special lifeforms obtained here back to his original body on Earth to gestate, it would have been impossible to finish so quickly, not to mention the time required to send them back.

Fortunately, that was not the case, and his clones on Craftsman God Planet successfully gestated the other nine clones one by one.

Among these nine clones, three were special lifeforms highly suited for treasure-crafting. Tang Ping had specifically chosen them to take over the treasure-crafting tasks from his two main combat clones, and they would remain stationed on Craftsman God Planet for a long time to come.

After packing up all the Heavy Treasures and Supreme Treasures he had crafted for himself that hadn't been sold over the past year, Tang Ping prepared to leave with his new clones.

When he arrived, it had been an arduous task to beg an Immortal to transport him to the Yinfa Secret Region via their God Kingdom; leaving, however, was a completely different story.

Over the past year, who on Craftsman God Planet didn't know of this treasure-crafting master? After all, he would occasionally bring out several Heavy Treasures for sale. Although he avoided bringing out Supreme Treasures to prevent trouble, Heavy Treasures were generally only affordable for King Peak powerhouses.

Such a rogue treasure-crafting master was rare even on Craftsman God Planet. Naturally, many wanted to befriend him, and some represented forces behind them hoping to recruit him, but he ignored them all.

In fact, if the Lord of Craftsman God hadn't been so immersed in teaching his new genius disciples that he cut off contact with the outside world, he surely would have sent someone to invite Tang Ping to be his disciple upon hearing of such a talent. It was even possible he might have appeared in person; after all, being able to craft Heavy Treasures at the World Lord Level was, if not unprecedented, at least a peerless genius born once every billion eras in the treasure-crafting world.

So, regardless, with Tang Ping's reputation on Craftsman God Planet, finding an Immortal willing to help him transport to the Human Territory via God Kingdom was incredibly simple.

Of course, God Kingdom transportation required the destination to have the Immortal's divine power imprint as a coordinate. Since these coordinates left by Immortals varied in distance, Tang Ping picked and chose until he finally selected a human Immortal who happened to have a God Kingdom coordinate in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area of the Ganwu Universe Country.

After all, any transport would do, but closer was always better.
