Learned it? Wrecked by it!

If the Source Core does not have the ability to grow and replenish itself, Huo Yuhao will not consider adding it to his Natal Soul Tool. At most, he will add a reactor to his Natal Soul Tool and put in metal to refine the Source Core when needed.

Yes, the reactor is the device for refining the Source Core, and it is also one of the core components that Huo Yuhao will incorporate into the design of his Natal Soul Tool. With the existence of the reactor, when necessary, the power of refining the source of metal can be injected into the Soul Tool as a temporary energy source.

With an evolving, Single Positive Circulation Source Core as its primary power source and a reactor as its backup energy source, the Natal Soul Tool is essentially equipped with an inexhaustible "heart."

Ordinary Soul Tool require a soul master to continuously inject Soul Power to operate, but Huo Yuhao's Natal Soul Tool, the Source Core, can continuously generate energy and can even provide Soul Power support to its master.

The day the Natal Soul Tool truly develops sentience, it will be able to revive itself and unleash its full power in battle without even needing its master's activation.

Such an improvement is considerable.

Once it becomes Super Divine Tool, it will be a trump card, not too big, not too small.

After all, while most Super Divine Tool contain terrifying energy, they ultimately require their master to inject power to unleash their full potential. If the master falls, the Super Divine Tool's power will be limited.

The Natal Soul Tool that Huo Yuhao is going to create could become a Super Divine Tool that can fight on its own without a master in the future, and its advantages in battle go without saying.

Under Ling Zichen's watchful eye, Huo Yuhao first used the laboratory equipment to build a reactor.

Yes, the design can be referenced from Iron Man's Arc Reactor —a palm-sized, ring-shaped device with densely packed soul guidance circuits inside, and a groove in the center for placing metal raw materials. The entire reactor floats on the workbench, emitting Youyou blue light.

Huo Yuhao checked all the parameters of the reactor and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he flipped his right hand and took out a fist-sized piece of metal from his Storage Soul Tool.

It was not a single metal, but Godly Alloy forged from nine different metals, including Demon Silver and Blue Pregnant Copper. Moreover, it had already undergone Soul Forging and had been baptized by Elemental Divine Lightning, and its energy reaction was in no way inferior to some Heaven Forging Metal.

Although Ling Zichen didn't realize it at first, her previous research on the Source Core gave her a deep understanding of various alloys and metals, and she quickly realized something was wrong.

"How many metals were used in this Soul Forging Alloy?"

Nine types.

"The legendary Godly Alloy? You actually managed to research and develop it?"

Ling Zichen was somewhat surprised, but then she understood, considering Huo Yuhao's abilities.

There's nothing strange about it; she'd already experienced the other party's abilities firsthand, so it's understandable that they could research the Godly Alloy.

Similarly, even if it's difficult to extract the source energy from the alloy after Fusion Forging, she believed Huo Yuhao had the ability to do so.

(Note: There are many changes to the settings regarding the extraction of the Source Core. The original text states that it can only be made from ordinary metals, that high-level metals that have been forged cannot be used to extract the Source Core, and that God-Rank Metal can be successfully used to extract the Source Core, etc. In short, it is very confusing. Please follow the settings in this book.)

only----

"The energy contained in these Godly Alloy, after fusion, is probably no less than that of the fusion of Heaven Forging Metal. This is comparable to the energy of Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell. Using it to create Soul Tool— "

Ling Zichen murmured, "What level will this Soul Tool be? Level eleven, or... level twelve?"

Don't underestimate this piece of alloy. The energy contained in Soul-Forged Metal is already considerable, not to mention that it is Godly Alloy. Its internal energy is no less than that of Heaven Forging Metal.

If the Heaven Forging Metal is refined and fused to form Source Core, its power can definitely reach the God Rank- level, which is comparable to or even surpasses the power of Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell.

This is the power of metal energy fusion.

Using such a material as one of the materials for manufacturing Soul Tool, Ling Zichen felt that Huo Yuhao's designed Natal Soul Tool was at least a level twelve Soul Tool.

After all, the Federation classified the three Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell as Level 12 Soul Tool.

"It seems we are about to witness the birth of a super Soul Tool."

Ling Zichen murmured, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

As a researcher of soul guides, she was naturally overjoyed to witness the birth of a work that transcended its time.

Huo Yuhao, who had just taken out the Godly Alloy, sighed inwardly.

"It's a pity that the Source Core the Heaven Forging Metal Refining Source cannot be used as an energy source."

Even if Heaven Forging Metal is manufactured into Source Core, it is difficult to use it as an energy source; that stuff is only suitable for use as a one-time bomb.

Because after undergoing the Tribulation Lightning, the metal, like a human undergoing the Godhood Tribulation, has undergone a complete transformation, becoming Life entity and an energy entity. This is why Heaven Forging Metal is called God-Rank Metal.

Extracting the Source Core is to strip the God-Rank Metal of its Life —or rather, to kill its body, leaving only its energy and soul for fusion and sublimation. Naturally, the God-Rank Metal will not be willing to accept this.

The Source Core of God-Rank Metal is filled with the resentment and anger of the metal being "killed". Its energy is completely uncontrollable. It is fine to use as a one-time bomb, but it is unqualified as an energy source similar to controlled nuclear fusion.

This is also the origin of the forbidden weapon God's Wrath in Douluo 4.

Huo Yuhao even used the piece of Heaven Forging Metal that Zhen Hua forged for him to verify this matter, confirming that it was indeed true.

Otherwise, Huo Yuhao actually wanted to use the Godly Alloy Heavenly Forging to create Single Positive Circulation Source Core. In that case, the starting point of the Source Core would be higher.

However, nothing in this world is ever perfect, so Huo Yuhao only felt a little regretful and didn't dwell on it too much.

The higher the grade of the metal, the more difficult it is to refine the Source Core. Even if it were Godly Alloy of the Heavenly Forging level, he might not be able to refine the Source Core.

Moreover, the Godly Alloy in his hands had already undergone Soul Forging, and was essentially no less valuable than ordinary God-Rank Metal. The Source Core refined from it possessed both spirituality and growth potential, with high potential and energy, and unlike God-Rank Metal, it was not filled with resentment and rebellious consciousness, which was already quite good.

Time passed as Huo Yuhao created the Metal essence.

After an unknown amount of time, the reactor emitted a clear hum.

The light gradually faded, and in the center of the furnace, a core the size of a fist, with a metallic sheen flowing across its surface, floated silently.

Huo Yuhao reached out and took the core, feeling the seemingly calm but actually terrifying power within, and stopped moving.

If he hadn't added his own self-made Soul Guidance Array, such as the Siphon Rune Soul Guidance Array, to the reactor, and if these Godly Alloy weren't 100% fused, this level of Metal essence would have been truly difficult to refine.

Ling Zichen had assumed Huo Yuhao would immediately begin manufacturing the Soul Tool here, but he found that Huo Yuhao had stopped. She asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to manufacture the Soul Tool here? No one will disturb us."

Huo Yuhao put away the Source Core and the reactor, then shook his head and said, "This place isn't suitable; I'm planning to find another spot."

"----Can I go take a look?" Ling Zichen simply couldn't suppress his curiosity about this Natal Soul Tool. As a soul tool researcher, the temptation to witness the birth of a Soul Tool of level twelve or higher was too great.

Huo Yuhao glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. "Okay."

After saying that, he walked outside. As Ling Zichen followed, he asked, "When you finish your Natal Soul Tool, could you give me some Godly Alloy?"

"You want to use this to make weapons, right? These Godly Alloy are quite valuable; using them as disposable items is too wasteful and dangerous."

Huo Yuhao did not agree.

These Godly Alloy were all created by Gu Yuena. After undergoing a fusion reaction, the power generated by a single explosion is enough to reach the full power of Third Rank God in the lower realm. Perhaps it doesn't reach the power of Douluo 4 Second Rank God God's Wrath the lower realm, but it is still a very dangerous thing.

He wasn't comfortable entrusting the Godly Alloy to Ling Zichen, that eccentric research genius who loved playing with "human cannons."

"I don't intend to turn it into a weapon; I just want to study the Godly Alloy— "

Looking in the direction Huo Yuhao was heading, Ling Zichen gradually stopped talking.

Huo Yuhao did not intend to go to the Cultivation Room or other research rooms, but went straight to the basement of the Spirit Pagoda.

Ling Zichen looked at Huo Yuhao with a puzzled expression.

Why did we come here?

Just then, Huo Yuhao asked, "Speaking of which, do you know why the Spirit Pagoda is called the Spirit Pagoda?"

Ling Zichen raised an eyebrow. "Because constructing Magic Array in the shape of a tower makes the process of Spirit Transmission easier and allows soul masters' Divine Power to be more concentrated, that's why our faction is named the Spirit Pagoda —is there a problem?"

These are all common sense facts left behind by Spirit Ice Douluo when he established the Spirit Pagoda.

"No problem, you answered correctly."

However, one crucial element is missing.

Huo Yuhao smiled, closed his eyes, and connected with the Magic Array inside the Spirit Pagoda, his consciousness sinking into the depths of the Spirit Pagoda.

That place is the core of the entire Spirit Pagoda's Magic Array. Countless intricate Magic Array converge here, forming a huge six-pointed star array. And within the six-pointed star array, there is a ball of light, with countless soft rays of light quietly floating around it.

As Ling Zichen said, the entire Spirit Pagoda is a giant Magic Array, but its function is not limited to assisting the Spirit Transmission process.

It also serves another purpose—to unite faith!

Faith has a specific direction. Without a clear direction, the Power of Faith will drift away like a rootless duckweed, naturally dissipating between heaven and earth, and cannot be effectively utilized.

When believers pray, their faith naturally flows to whomever they think of. God can only absorb and purify this Power of Faith through the Divine Realm, transforming it into His own power.

Huo Yuhao didn't have a convenient transit point like the Divine Realm, and since he was away from the Douluo Continent for many years, he couldn't absorb that Power of Faith on his own. If he hadn't made arrangements in advance, the Power of Faith accumulated by the Spirit Pagoda over the past Ten Thousand Years would have long since dissipated completely.

Therefore, when he built the Spirit Pagoda, he deliberately left a wisp of Divine Consciousness in the bottom Magic Array of each of the two Spirit Pagoda.

One is Mingdu, and the other is the Extreme North Spirit Pagoda.

And Divine Consciousness is the "compass" of faith.

The faith people generate when worshipping Spirit Ice Douluo will converge along this beacon, be stored and purified by the Magic Array, and accumulate over time to eventually form the pure and vast sea of light before us.

The wisp of Divine Consciousness he left behind did not dissipate under the nourishment of the Power of Faith, but the power of the separated Divine Consciousness could not be increased, and its strength remained the same as when they separated.

"A thousand years of accumulation, thank you for your hard work."

Huo Yuhao spoke, he did not withdraw this wisp of Divine Consciousness, but only mobilized a portion of his Power of Faith.

The initial creation of Natal Soul Tool does not require such a massive amount of Power of Faith.

After Huo Yuhao's Divine Power came into contact with those Power of Faith, it was as if he had met his master. Countless soft lights surged from all directions, converging into rivers of light that surrounded Huo Yuhao. The entire basement was illuminated as bright as day, and a warm and holy aura permeated the air, making people feel awe.

Upon seeing this, Ling Zichen's eyes widened in shock, and he instinctively took a step back.

What's going on?!

For someone skilled in Soul Tool but not Limit expert, this scene was clearly incomprehensible.

Inside the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Gu Yuena, Snow Empress, Qian Gu Die Ting, and others sensed this.

"As expected—is it our ancestor?" Qian Gu Die Ting looked towards the basement level.

Having cultivated to his level, the Power of Faith is not something invisible or intangible to him. Scattered amounts are fine, but the aura beneath the Spirit Pagoda is too immense, so he naturally senses it.

A complex expression rose on his face—awe, relief, and a touch of indescribable emotion.

"With this person here, what will the next era be like?" Just as he was imagining this, a knock sounded at the door, and before he could speak, Snow Empress stepped in.

Upon seeing her appear, Qian Gu Die Ting smiled and said, "Snow Empress Pagoda Master, please rest assured, Dong Feng and I will not disturb that person."

That's good.

Huo Yuhao gazed at the pagoda before him, formed from the Power of Faith.

The pagoda and the Spirit Pagoda look very similar, except that the pagoda has fewer floors, only nine.

"Preparations are almost complete."

Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at Ling Zichen.

"Since you want to see it, then study it carefully; it might be helpful for your future research."

"Yes!" Ling Zichen replied subconsciously, quickly regaining her composure and staring intently at him.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao waved his right hand, and various Soul Tool appeared in front of him. A large number of materials also flew out from the Storage Soul Tool and floated around him.

There were previously created Source Core, as well as a considerable number of Godly Alloy —and even Gold of Life.

While the Gold of Life is unsuitable as an alloy material, it is God Rank material in itself, making it absolutely qualified as a material for Natal Soul Tool.

At the same time, a Soul Tool design blueprint appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.

Ling Zichen knew the blueprints were meant for her; after all, as the designer, Huo Yuhao certainly knew the whole picture and didn't need the blueprints for reference.

She stared intently at the blueprints, a hint of fascination in her eyes.

Those Soul Guidance Array not recorded in the records, the level 10—no, level 12 core Soul Guidance Array— captured her intently, wishing she could engrave every circuit into her mind.

But as Huo Yuhao made his move, her attention also shifted to him.

The Blade of Life Protection appeared in Huo Yuhao's hands at some point, and he began to inscribe Soul Guidance Array on the metal.

There was no overly impressive aura; Ling Zichen could sense was an astonishing focus, which reassured her somewhat.

She felt that this scene was more like the creation of Soul Tool; the previous summoning of the sea of light had nothing to do with Soul Tool Technology.

However, as time went on, she gradually became uneasy.

Huo Yuhao continuously imprinted incomprehensible and unpredictable Laws imprints into the embryonic artifact.

Seven Colors divine fire, so intense it made her hair stand on end, appeared out of nowhere to aid in the refining of the weapon.

The pagoda formed from the Power of Faith and the artifact prototype created by Huo Yuhao gradually merged together, emitting an astonishing aura.

"You want me to learn all this? Do you think I can even learn it?"

Ling Zichen muttered to himself.

Have you learned it?

You've wasted your time!
