His stats had skyrocketed as usual. According to the author's settings, his physical body was now comparable to a Super Divine Artifact.

What did a Super Divine Artifact mean to a God King? Just look at Ji Dong and Lie Yan.

The newly appointed God Kings of Kindness and Evil were clearly a husband-and-wife pair of God Kings, so why were they stuck between Destruction God and Little Wretch, unable to form a third faction, reduced to being insignificant lackeys caught in the middle? Wasn't it because they had failed to inherit Super Divine Artifacts?

Although Tang San, in his normal Sea God state, was only a First-Level God, he possessed no fewer than three Super Divine Artifacts.

Qian Xunyi did not need a Super Divine Artifact. His body was already the equal of one.

He rose to his feet, stretched his limbs, and felt the power coursing through him.

"Looks like I'll have to find a chance to test myself against a god with a Super Divine Artifact."

Immediately afterward, the little figure Tianmeng had turned into came running over to Qian Xunyi and handed him an eyeball-shaped Soul Bone. "Taikun... pfft, Brother Yi, this is the Soul Bone dropped by the Evil Emperor. It's a highly valuable External Soul Bone."

Qian Xunyi took the Soul Bone and stroked its eyeball-like surface.

This should be the one Huo Yuhao had acquired in Soul Land II. It had eventually become a Super Divine Artifact.

The Eternal Eye was quite good, but now it belonged to him.

Mentioning Super Divine Artifacts made Qian Xunyi think of the Divine Artifact Furnace function his system had unlocked.

He opened the Divine Artifact Furnace interface, and a panel appeared before him.

At the same time, Qian Xunyi used soul power to lift Soul Bones out of his Soul Tool. There were ten in total.

Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Bones had been provided by the eighth and ninth Soul Rings of Qian Xunyi's first martial soul.

Seven Ferocious Beast Spirit Bones: the Ice Empress's left arm bone, Tianmeng's head Soul Bone, the Snow Empress's spine bone, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's spine bone, the Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen's right leg bone, the Sea Princess's head Soul Bone, and the Evil Emperor's Eye External Soul Bone.

Three Ferocious Beast Spirit Bones could be fused into one customized Super Divine Artifact. The more closely its attributes matched the defined function, the better the Super Divine Artifact's effects would be.

Qian Xunyi had seven Super Divine Artifacts, enough to refine two Super Divine Artifacts.

Given his current state, Soul Skills that emphasized combat power, such as the Asura God Sword and Sea God's Trident, did not mean much to Qian Xunyi.

What he needed was a Super Divine Artifact like Huo Yuhao's Eternal Eye.

After all, those two bastards, the Asura God and the Sea God, were up there spying on Douluo Continent every day. He had been powerless before, but how could Qian Xunyi allow those two bastards to keep spying on Douluo Continent now?

"Then it's decided."

Qian Xunyi tossed Tianmeng's head Soul Bone, the Sea Princess's head Soul Bone, and the Evil Emperor's Eye External Soul Bone into the furnace to refine a Super Divine Artifact.

After the Divine Artifact Furnace absorbed the three great Soul Bones, it began refining the Divine Artifact according to Qian Xunyi's requirements.

Before long, a brand-new Super Divine Artifact flew out of the system panel and landed in Qian Xunyi's hand.

Cosmic Star-Sealing Map When this Super Divine Artifact is fully activated, it can spread across an entire planet and envelop it, concealing all heavenly secrets of that planet and cutting off the heavenly secrets and fate changes detectable by God Kings. Once the sealing formation is complete, it can independently absorb the world's spiritual energy of Douluo Continent and sustain its operation through the plane's origin. No one needs to sacrifice soul power, and no god needs to guard it. It also grants the caster Divine Vision, allowing them to observe even the slightest changes within the sealed star. The user can use the star map's Divine Vision to launch attacks across the map.

Star sealing, Divine Vision, and map-wide bombardment—those three phrases succinctly summed up the map's power.

Qian Xunyi spread the map open. It depicted the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of Douluo Star. He poured his soul power into it with all his strength and activated the star map. As it unfurled, it rose into the sky, growing larger and larger as it ascended, until it finally became a film that covered the world and enveloped the entire planet.

At the same time, his connection to the Super Divine Artifact allowed Qian Xunyi to see through it sights beyond the reach of his own vision.

Though he was far away on Sun-Moon Continent, he could see what was happening over on Douluo Continent.

"What just happened?" the Ice Empress asked curiously.

"That map..." The Snow Empress vaguely sensed that there was something off about it.

Qian Xunyi did not hide anything from his Pokémon. He explained the divine map's functions to the Snow Empress and the others, then shared the Divine Vision with them.

"Heavens, does that mean the gods of the God Realm can't observe the changes on Douluo Continent?" Tianmeng asked in surprise.

"Not exactly." Qian Xunyi shook his head. "If they couldn't investigate Douluo Star at all, they would take action soon enough. What my map conceals are the heavenly secrets of change. The God Kings can only see what I want them to see!"

"In other words, from the moment this map unfolded, what the gods of the God Realm see and what we actually do on Douluo Continent have become two completely different things."

With the remaining four Soul Bones, Qian Xunyi could completely refine a second Super Divine Artifact. Tempered with the origin Soul Bones of the Snow Empress, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen as its foundation, this newborn Super Divine Artifact would only be stronger than the Cosmic Star-Sealing Map, never inferior in the slightest.

However, Qian Xunyi did not intend to refine another Super Divine Artifact for the time being.

He had not yet decided what kind of Super Divine Artifact he needed. He would refine one when the need arose.

Next, Qian Xunyi used Overlord's Familiars to revive the Evil Emperor.

Once revived, the Evil Emperor quickly understood what had happened. He promptly transformed into a middle-aged man and acknowledged Qian Xunyi as his master.

Qian Xunyi also took the opportunity to tame a new Pokémon.

Obtaining the Evil Emperor's Soul Ring also marked the end of Qian Xunyi's Soul Hunt.

For the final two Soul Rings, he did not intend to settle for Ferocious Beast Spirit Rings. That meant he could only wait until the Icefire Yin Yang Well opened.

The two great Dragon Kings slumbering within the Icefire Yin Yang Well had both reached the God King realm due to the explosive later settings of Tang Jia San Shao. Even Gu Yuena would have to call them uncles in their presence.

In Qian Xunyi's eyes, the Soul Rings they could provide would be scarcely any worse than the Soul Rings gained by killing the Gold Dragon King and Silver Dragon King.

He could even use this connection to reap all the benefits of the soul beast race.

"Alright, matters here are settled. It's time for us to return to Douluo Continent," Qian Xunyi said to the Ferocious Beasts.

Then he looked toward the prosperous capital of Sun-Moon Continent.

This was ten thousand years before the beginning of Soul Land II. At this time, Sun-Moon Continent already possessed advanced Soul Tool technology, and Soul Engineers held an even nobler status on this continent than soul masters.

Qian Xunyi intended to bring the Soul Tool technology here to Douluo Continent, so he looked at the five familiar soul beasts and said:

"Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Sea Princess, are you willing to transform into humans, remain on this continent, and study Soul Tool technology while cultivating along the path of soul masters?"

"I am willing," the Snow Empress said.

The Ice Empress and the Sea Princess also voiced their agreement.
