Forging a God-Slaying Weapon

Elder Xu was left speechless by Ling Zichen's retort and could only snort coldly. "Then what brilliant idea does Director Ling have? Please enlighten this old man."

Ling Zichen glanced at him, flipped her wrist, and something slowly emerged from her soul tool storage device.

It was a pale blue meteorite, a meter long from end to end. Most astonishingly, divine power fluctuations flowed across its surface, and their level surpassed even that of some God Level experts they had encountered before.

"What is this?"

For a moment, everyone's breathing grew hurried.

Ling Zichen introduced it, "I discovered this by accident not long ago. I call it Starfall Divine Iron."

"I calculated that the total Divine Source fluctuations flowing within it are more than ten times those of a God Level expert!"

"Ten times?" The council chairman sharply inhaled.

Ling Zichen took a deep breath. "The discovery of this divine iron thrilled me beyond measure. I went several days and nights without sleep, and my research into it has continued to deepen."

"I can tell everyone with certainty that this divine iron is one of humanity's greatest discoveries to date."

"I once couldn't understand why such miraculous divine iron would appear on Douluo Continent."

"But perhaps I know now. It was because Douluo Continent was about to face a great calamity that heaven sent it down to help us survive this disaster."

The council chairman could not help asking, "Master Ling, are you saying this divine iron has the ability to contend against the Golden Dragon King?"

Ling Zichen nodded, then shook her head.

Everyone was thoroughly confused.

Ling Zichen said, "Although Starfall's divine power is powerful, it possesses no offensive capabilities. I once invited Dragon Emperor Douluo and Silver Dragon Douluo to discuss it with me."

"They said that this divine iron was of a level never seen before. Silver Dragon Douluo said that even the Divine Realm might not possess divine iron of this caliber."

"In the end, our discussion led to one conclusion. If a stronger dimension truly exists beyond the Divine Realm, then this divine iron most likely came from beyond the Divine Realm!"

Beyond the Divine Realm! Those four simple words made everyone sharply inhale.

The council chairman immediately clenched his fists. Though he could not discern the divine iron's precise quality, Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena had personally stated that it might be material from beyond the Divine Realm.

Those were the two strongest people on Douluo Continent—no, the two mightiest deities.

Cang Tianming said, "Director Ling, if it has no combat properties, then it is useless to us."

"It can't help us deal with the Golden Dragon King."

"Exactly." Quite a few people beside Cang Lao nodded. What Cang Lao had asked was precisely what they wanted to ask.

"Please don't be hasty." Ling Zichen said, "Listen to me first. I suspect that even in the higher realms, this type of meteor divine iron would be one of the materials used by great experts to forge divine artifacts."

"I have conducted an in-depth analysis of it and found that it has extremely high adaptability and excellent compatibility."

"This further proves my point. Starfall Divine Iron is one of the materials used in the higher realms to forge certain equipment, such as divine artifacts."

"It possesses the characteristic of active fusion and causes no rejection. It contains an incomparably vast amount of Divine Source. If that Divine Source is incorporated into a weapon of massive destructive power—"

"Then, empowered by its immense divine power, that weapon may become something unprecedented in human history: a God-Slaying Weapon capable of killing deities!"

"For example, Eternal Heaven!"

The Federation Council chairman's heartbeat accelerated. He asked excitedly, "Master Ling, do you have a way to fuse Eternal Heaven with this divine iron?"

Ling Zichen said, "I do not have absolute confidence. I need to understand Eternal Heaven's exact structure before I can determine whether they can be fused."

"However, even if they can be fused, a mortal object like Eternal Heaven would be unable to withstand the divine iron's excessive divine power."

"Therefore, once the two fuse, it must be detonated immediately. It would also be a one-time use. In other words, we would have only one chance."

"Still, because the Divine Source within the divine iron is equivalent to that of dozens of God Level experts, it could increase Eternal Heaven's power by more than a hundredfold!"

"Such power would be enough to threaten a First-Level God, perhaps even a Half-step Divine King!"

The council chairman's breathing became more and more rapid. Though it was only a theoretical possibility for now, he had undoubtedly seen hope!

Humanity's hope!

Xu Li said in a strange, sarcastic tone, "Director Ling, since you possessed such a divine object, why did you keep it hidden until now?"

"You only reveal the divine iron's purpose at such a moment. What exactly are your intentions? Do you intend to become humanity's savior?"

Before the council chairman and the others could speak, Ling Zichen's gaze turned cold. "Xu Li, is it? Don't blame me for being disrespectful. I had been conducting the final tests on this divine iron."

"Who knew what consequences would result from fusing extraterrestrial divine iron with our weapons? If it proved impossible even in theory and unexpected consequences arose, would you take responsibility?"

Xu Li's face flushed red. "You..."

"Enough!" the council chairman roared. "Xu Li, you truly have no regard for me as chairman. I hereby propose stripping Xu Li of his position as a Federation council member."

"These are extraordinary times. Skip the procedures and vote immediately."

Very quickly, over forty percent of the people raised their hands.

In the end, more than half raised their hands.

Seeing this, the council chairman's expression darkened.

According to Federation regulations, removing a council member required more than sixty percent of the vote.

Yet only half had voted in favor. This not only meant they could not remove Xu Li, but also showed that Xu Li's influence within the Federation had secretly grown strong enough to rival him, the council chairman.

Xu Li looked rather pleased with himself. "Since the council chairman's proposal has not passed, I shall return to rest first."

Mo Lan sighed softly.

The council chairman and Cang Tianming exchanged looks, both of them grave.

It seemed that the continent was not their only problem. Problems had also emerged within the Federation itself.

It seemed they would need to thoroughly clean up the Federation's internal affairs when they had the time.

Without anyone noticing, Xu Li had already reached such a level.

The council chairman ordered, "Xiao Li, quickly arrange for Director Ling to be taken to Eternal Heaven's location. Forget it, I'll take her there myself."

"Master Ling, come with me."

Ling Zichen turned and followed the council chairman out, her eyes filled with determination.

Tang Wulin, wait for me. I will definitely defeat that demon and save you!
