Lin Yuan = a future Divine Craftsman; I'm Yang Hui of the War God Temple

"I understand? What do you understand? Do you know who became the Divine Craftsman?"

Yang Hui's breathing suddenly became rapid.

At the same time, Lin Yuan also heard Yang Hui say in a deep voice to the people around him:

"You all go out first."

The liaison officer's respectful voice rang out, "Yes." The door closed behind him, and even through the communicator, Lin Yuan could feel the air on Yang Hui's end become quiet.

Yang Hui seemed to walk to a corner, his voice lowered:

"You can speak now, Lin Yuan. This matter is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me."

Why make it look like some kind of spy rendezvous?

Lin Yuan found it somewhat amusing, but there was no point in hiding it, since he wasn't Divine Craftsman to begin with.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan spoke:

"Uncle, do you think it's possible that I attracted those calamity clouds?"

These words were followed by a full minute of silence.

Even Lin Yuan wondered if his uncle might hang up the phone.

"Hello, hello, uncle, can you hear me?"

"Hahaha, Lin Yuan, that's a really funny joke..."

"Uncle, I'm not lying."

After he said that, there was silence on the other end of the communicator.

Are you kidding me?!

What does this mean?

The youngest Divine Craftsman, Jinlong Yueyu, is at least twenty-one years old. How old is Lin Yuan?!

Twelve years old!

The reason why the Douluo Federation's cutting-edge technology has stagnated is mostly because the existing materials, namely the Heavenly Forged Metal, cannot keep up with the pace of theoretical development. There is only theory but no practice. The Federation has not produced a single Divine Craftsman for two hundred years. The scarcity of Heavenly Tempering Forged Metal is beyond imagination. Even the small amount of Heavenly Tempering is monopolized by Shrek and Tang Sect.

Moreover, even for them, Heavenly Tempering insisted on preserving the production of the Four-Word Battle Armor.

From Yang Hui's perspective, a twelve-year-old Divine Craftsman could absolutely lead the Federation's technology forward for at least a thousand years!

And they will no longer be bound by the constraints of Shrek or Tang Sect.

As for whether Lin Yuan would lie to him, there's absolutely no need for that. Given Lin Yuan's status in the military, every War God Temple would treat him like an ancestor. Moreover, with Lin Yuan's talent, he's destined to become Divine Rank being. He has resources and fame; why would he joke about something like that?

"Was forging difficult?"

"Difficult? I wouldn't call it difficult. It just takes a little effort to deplete my Divine Power and blood."

"That's indeed how Heavenly Tempering works..."

"Hmm... Heavenly Tempering? Wait a minute, Uncle, when did I say I knew Heavenly Tempering?"

"Ah?"

Yang Hui was dumbfounded and subconsciously asked, "If you don't know Heavenly Tempering, then how did you attract the Tribulation Lightning?"

"To be precise, it's not about completing the Heavenly Tempering, but rather... well, Uncle Ye once said that you're a military general and not good at scientific research, so I'll just give you a brief explanation."

Then, Lin Yuan rattled off a whole bunch of terms, like effects between Elements and isomers. Yang Hui was completely bewildered. He understood each word individually, but when put together, he felt utterly lost.

Is this the world of geniuses?

However, based on his experience, he still managed to draw a conclusion.

Lin Yuan is currently unable to complete true Heavenly Tempering, but he has mastered the corresponding techniques.

What does this tell us?

Once Lin Yuan embarks on the path of a blacksmith, becoming Divine Craftsman will be just around the corner!

To attract Tribulation Lightning is to challenge the authority of the heavens; this applies to becoming Divine Rank, and it also applies to becoming Divine Craftsman.

Hearing Yang Hui's silence, Lin Yuan recalled the first time he taught the Little Dragon God the Rasengan, and the Little Dragon God's bewildered expression. Lin Yuan sighed.

"Should I come to your place now?"

"Oh, okay... no, no, no, no!" Yang Hui immediately changed his tone and hurriedly refused.

"Lin Yuan, you're currently in the crucial period of the Shrek Academy entrance exam. Although I don't understand everything, I know one thing: different paths lead to the same goal. To be honest, you're quite lucky that you weren't hit by the tribulation Lin Yuan this time. With your current physical condition, you definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation. This would be very detrimental to your upcoming exams. Let's talk about it after you pass the Shrek entrance exam."

"Well, it's not too late to demonstrate to your uncle after you get into Shrek. If you're interested in blacksmithing by then, Lin Yuan, your uncle can send Saint Craftsman to help you, one-on-one throughout the process."

Oh, okay then.

Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully. As the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination. In terms of giving life to artificial Soul Bone, he had barely mastered the dual Elements of creation and destruction. In the field of forging, he had somehow touched the threshold of Heavenly Tempering. The most important thing in Heavenly Tempering is the power of creation.

Perhaps it's something we should really consider in the future.

Even if it doesn't work out, it's okay, because we have Uncle and Lan Xuanyu.

Just as Lin Yuan was pondering, Yang Hui's voice came again:

"By the way, Lin Yuan, whatever you do, don't tell anyone about your background as a blacksmith!"

"Um?"

Yang Hui sighed:

"Our Federation has far too many enemies. Besides the Sin Planet you encountered before, there are many more terrifying beings. The Federation's current situation is definitely ten or even a hundred times more dangerous than you think, Lin Yuan. Moreover, our Federation is powerless to defeat any of these enemies; we can only resist them."

"I can even tell you a secret, Lin Yuan. Currently, the development of cutting-edge technology in our Federation has stagnated. Most of it remains in the theoretical stage because the number of Heavenly Tempering materials within our Federation is extremely limited. After prioritizing the production of Battle Armor, we can no longer support experimental verification."

"If other forces knew that the Federation would have a future Divine Craftsman, they would surely nip you in the bud." Yang Hui's tone became very serious as he said this.

"Oh, okay, Uncle."

"Also, Lin Yuan, I think it's necessary to raise your personal safety level to the next level. Well, your uncle will hold an internal meeting to determine the specifics. For now, when you go to One Person crowded place, try to report it to the authorities if possible, as the military needs to verify your identity."

Lin Yuan responded, and Yang Hui on the other end of the communicator exchanged a few more pleasantries with Lin Yuan before ending the call.

At the headquarters of the War God Temple on Tianluo Planet, Yang Hui put down his personal communicator.

He looked out the window at the sky, where the lingering storm clouds still exuded a pressure that made even a veteran Divine Rank like him feel uneasy.

"Lin Yuan, your talent is so high, even the military can hardly keep up with your speed." Yang Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly, muttering, "But before you can successfully soar through this starry sky, your uncle will do everything in his power to protect you, and even use all means to remove obstacles for you, whether you Shrek Academy, the military, or want to be an ordinary person."

At this moment, Yang Hui thought of how Lin Yuan's father had entrusted the newborn Lin Yuan to him during his last mission, pleading with him to take good care of Lin Yuan. His mood became heavy without him realizing it.

Those fists clenched tightly.

Damn Longma Galaxy!

Yang Hui remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, taking out his personal communicator, and dialing the Tianluo Academy's landline.

"Is this Tianluo Academy? This is Yang Hui the War God Temple. I'm looking for Dean Zhang. Hurry up and have him call me back. I'm waiting."

Less than ten seconds.

"Dean Zhang, this is Yang Hui. I need to discuss something with you. I need a complete archive of all the learning and work logs of teachers and students at the Tianluo Academy from the past twenty years, compiled immediately."

Lin Yuan was unaware that shortly after he ended the call, Yang Hui had already launched another large-scale search of the Tianluo Academy.

On the way back to the Tianluo Academy from the Spirit Pagoda.

Lin Yuan was sitting in the Tianluo Academy's exclusive soul-guided bus, with Lan Xuanyu chattering beside him, constantly asking about the beam of light that suddenly erupted from the Ascension Platform. Lin Yuan responded to him in a disjointed manner.

Soon, the group returned to the Tianluo Academy. They had three days left before their flight to Shrek.

Over these three days, Ji Hongbin Ji Hongbin to take advantage of the situation, not only showing care to Lan Xuanyu and his two friends, but also to the other students in the High-Energy Youth Class.

Three days passed quickly.

Because of Lin Yuan, everyone enjoyed first-class treatment after boarding the spaceship.

Seemingly sensing Lin Yuan's impending departure, the Planetary Core of Tianluo Planet emitted a frequency that only Lin Yuan could understand.

That frequency is called reluctance.

"Okay, thank you for taking care of me all these years, but don't be sad, it's not like I'm never coming back."

Lin Yuan sensed through the Voice of the Stars that the Planetary Core was right in front of him, and he reached out to touch it.

Lin Yuan comforted the Planetary Core for a long time until the spaceship truly entered space. The frequency of Tianluo Planet decreased more and more until it could no longer be felt. Only then did Lin Yuan close his eyes and cultivate the Voice of the Stars.

"Brother, do you need a thin blanket?"

Just then, Lin Yuan, who was cultivating the Voice of the Stars, heard the Little Dragon God's call, opened his eyes, looked at the child whose face was full of exhaustion, and shook his head:

"I don't need it, I'll just meditate."

These past few days, Lan Xuanyu has been tormented by Ji Hongbin so much that he's become somewhat listless.
