Because of Mu Han's invitation, Zhen Hua did not remain in Tiandou City.

Precisely because of this, he managed to avoid the assassination attempt from the original work.

However, now that the butterfly effect has taken hold, it is hard to say whether an assassination will still occur.

Just as the terrorist attack on the train from the original work never happened.

Just as the Tang Sect headquarters is in Shrek City, yet its true core is located in Tiandou City.

The Blacksmith Association headquarters appears to be in Tiandou City, but in reality, its true foundation is placed in Ming Capital.

After all, Tiandou City does not allow the construction of high-rise buildings due to the need to preserve ancient architecture.

Even the Spirit Pagoda is not permitted to be built too high, let alone the Blacksmith Association.

Yet, isn't the most important thing for the Blacksmith Association the Ascension Platform?

Although Shrek City is excellent, its political significance is too great.

Therefore, the Blacksmith Association placed its headquarters in Ming Capital.

Anyone near the Blacksmith Association could see it; on the roof of this building, a multicolored halo suddenly lit up.

"What is this? Is the Divine Craftsman performing Heaven Forging? Is another powerful Heaven Forged god-level metal about to appear?"

"I wonder when we will be able to ask the Divine Craftsman to forge a piece of god-level metal for us!"

Even a single piece of god-level metal could significantly increase the overall strength of a mecha.

"Stop dreaming."

Not to mention that the price of god-level metal is an astronomical figure, the Divine Craftsman himself does not have the energy to forge for them.

Moreover, the older the Divine Craftsman gets, the greater the damage Heaven Forging inflicts on his body.

Before a second Divine Craftsman appears, it is best to let him take action as little as possible.

Otherwise, once the Divine Craftsman is gone, the inheritance might very well be broken.

"But it is said that Mu Han is already a Saint Craftsman at a very young age; perhaps he might become a Divine Craftsman in the future."

Mu Han's fame has long surpassed that of Zhen Hua, though as a researcher rather than a blacksmith.

However, his forging level is also plain for all to see.

"But Mu Han is not a Title Douluo; how could he possibly perform Heaven Forging?"

The basic requirement for a Divine Craftsman is Title Douluo cultivation; this is considered common knowledge.

"He could have been piled up there using heavenly treasures."

"Heh, Mu Han is also a genius Soul Master; he wouldn't use heavenly treasures to force his growth."

"Hurry up and let another Divine Craftsman emerge; otherwise, given the age of His Excellency Zhen Hua, I'm afraid it will never be our turn."

"Indeed, I have already given up hope. It is hard to say whether we can even break through to Super Douluo."

"Then don't get your hopes up. Without cultivation above Super Douluo, Four-Word Battle Armor is simply impossible."

A Title Douluo can control Four-Word Battle Armor, but ordinary Title Douluos do not have that luxury.

At this moment, on the Ascension Platform.

The metal silently turned into liquid, spiraling upward and landing in Mu Han's palm.

The weight seemed to have vanished, leaving only a wondrous texture.

Neither Zhen Hua nor Mu Han himself expected that his Heaven Forging would be completed just like that.

This was truly a god-level metal, a god-level metal that could be used to forge Four-Word Battle Armor.

Upgrading from Three-Word Battle Armor to Four-Word Battle Armor does not require forging the Three-Word Battle Armor directly.

Instead, it requires fusing the god-level metal with the original Three-Word Battle Armor.

Only by re-inscribing the Core Array can the Four-Word Battle Armor be completed.

In fact, Mu Han's method of upgrading his Standardized One-Word Battle Armor to Two-Word Battle Armor was based on the method for Four-Word Battle Armor.

That is why he was able to directly fuse Spirit Forging metal to strengthen it.

And most importantly, Mu Han is now a Divine Craftsman!

The standard for a Divine Craftsman is pure: one who successfully completes a Heaven Forging and successfully forges a piece of god-level metal is a Divine Craftsman!

Just as completing a Thousand Refinement makes one a Master.

Completing a Spirit Forging makes one a Grandmaster.

Completing a Soul Forging makes one a Saint Craftsman.

Completing a Heaven Forging makes one a Divine Craftsman, and Mu Han had indeed completed a Heaven Forging.

Although his Heaven Forging was a shortcut.

The Elemental Tribulation Lightning was something he summoned through the bloodline of the Thunder God.

The elements within were also filled by him personally.

His soul power itself possessed the wind attribute.

The second soul ring provided the darkness and earth attributes.

The third soul ring provided the ice and fire elements.

At this point, he already possessed five of the seven elements.

One must know that even the lowest grade of Heaven Forging only requires four types of elements.

Yet Mu Han could perform Heaven Forging at the five-element level, and he could do so with ease, boasting a one-hundred-percent success rate.

After all, normal Heaven Forging requires one to draw down Elemental Tribulation Lightning from heaven and earth while forging.

This is also why Heaven Forging requires the cultivation of a Titled Douluo.

Without sufficient soul power, it is impossible to trigger the Elemental Tribulation Lightning.

Furthermore, without sufficient soul power, even if one managed to trigger it, they would be unable to withstand it.

Such things cannot rely on external objects.

Because before the Elemental Tribulation Lightning descends, Heaven Forging is, at the end of the day, merely preparatory work.

The moment the Elemental Tribulation Lightning falls is when the true Heaven Forging begins.

If there is too much lightning and the Divine Craftsman cannot withstand it, the metal will be destroyed.

But if there is too little lightning, the Heaven Forging cannot be completed at all.

However, Mu Han could directly condense the Elemental Tribulation Lightning with his bare hands.

Therefore, he could maintain perfect control.

Coupled with the fact that his martial soul, Gold-Water Mutual Containment, could merge into one with the metal, he was able to judge the exact dosage.

It was neither too much nor too little, satisfying the metal's needs perfectly.

However, his martial soul should no longer be called Gold-Water Mutual Containment.

Because, theoretically, Gold-Water Mutual Containment cannot perform Heaven Forging.

At any rate, this was mentioned in the original work.

The Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua had also said so many times.

But now, Mu Han had successfully completed it.

The characteristics of Gold-Water Mutual Containment are not so easily broken.

The only explanation is that Mu Han's martial soul, Gold-Water Mutual Containment, had undergone a secondary awakening.

Relying on his secondary-awakened martial soul, Gold-Water Mutual Containment, Mu Han successfully became the second Divine Craftsman of the current era.

The youngest Divine Craftsman in history!

Zhen Hua suddenly burst into loud laughter; he could not remember the last time he had been this happy.

He had a successor!

And a successor who had surpassed the master.

However, Mu Han did not intend to make this matter public, at least not for the time being.

Because according to the original plot, the next event was the exchange activity to the Star Luo Empire.

If he were to become a Divine Craftsman, his plans to go to the Star Luo Empire would likely be affected.

The Federation would never allow a Divine Craftsman to leave the country at will.

Zhen Hua merely assumed that Mu Han did not want to help him share the pressure, and he jokingly scolded, "You lazybones!"

"But that's fine too. If you achieve fame and success too early, it will be difficult to stand your ground."

After all, Mu Han was not Zhen Hua.

Zhen Hua was, after all, a Four-Word Battle Armor Master, even if he was not skilled in combat.

But Mu Han was not; he was merely a One-Word Battle Armor Master about to become a Two-Word Battle Armor Master.

Although he had the status of a Divine Craftsman as a foundation, his Two-Word Battle Armor would be incredibly powerful.

Yet it was not enough to allow him to sit in Zhen Hua's position and remain neutral.

For now, this pressure could only be borne by Zhen Hua.

Zhen Hua had even already thought of a way to retaliate in his heart.

Once Mu Han became a Four-Word Battle Armor Master, he would have to use his status as a benefactor to coerce him into becoming the president of the Blacksmith Association!
