A Divine Tool Takes Shape (4,000 Words)

Feeling unable to understand the manufacturing process, Ling Zichen shifted his gaze, focusing intently on the design drawings. As he studied them, his brows gradually furrowed.

These structures and Soul Guidance Array —is this Soul Tool's ability an amplification feature?

As Ling Zichen gained enlightenment, on Huo Yuhao's side, the nine-story faith tower slowly descended, completely overlapping with the nine-story tower embryo cast below.

In that instant, the world lost its color.

Endless golden light burst forth from the small pagoda, transforming into countless auspicious rays that descended and enveloped the pagoda's embryonic form.

Every auspicious ray carries faith, every ray of light contains the prayers of all beings. The moment the golden light touched the pagoda's embryo, a faint prayer echoed in the void.

The pagoda embryo trembled violently, emitting a deep humming sound, like the long tolling of an ancient bell.

Nine-colored rays of light shot into the sky from the tower, intertwining with the golden sea of light. The nine colors and the gold intertwined, collided, and merged, eventually condensing into mysterious patterns on the surface of the tower.

The Seven Colors divine fire surged in, burning and refining along the patterns, and the Laws that Huo Yuhao had implanted into the tower were fully activated at this moment.

Imprints emerged from the depths of the tower, like ancient, dormant runes awakened, possessing the Power of Creation to nurture all things and revive them; they also possessed the Power of Destruction to Destruction everything, causing even those who merely glimpsed them from afar to tremble in their hearts, as if their souls were about to be wiped out by that aura; and they also possessed a powerful Power of Space, causing ripples to spread through the void in their fluctuations.

Each level of the tower seems to embody a Laws, causing the tower to be surrounded by nine-colored light.

However, Huo Yuhao was not satisfied. When the artifact formed by the Power of Faith and the artifact he created were completely fused together, he connected his own energy with this Soul Tool and incorporated it into his third Martial Soul - the Reincarnation Domain. This allowed the Soul Tool to be connected with his life, and through this, he imprinted the final Laws imprint - the Laws of Reincarnation!

The moment this mark appeared, all the previous strange phenomena froze.

The nine previously integrated Laws imprints seemed to have found their home; they no longer operated independently, but instead, guided by the Laws of Reincarnation, they constructed a complete cycle within the tower. Creation and Destruction were intertwined, ice and fire intertwined—

The pagoda has nine stories, each connected to the next.

Under Huo Yuhao's spatial folding technology, each layer is a Small World, and each layer has its own Laws. However, when the nine layers are stacked, they form a complete Reincarnation heaven and earth.

In that instant, the tower turned gray-gold, and a vast and boundless aura spread from the deepest part of the tower, its Daoist inscriptions profound and awe-inspiring.

At the same time, a beam of light shot up from the top of the tower, oblivious to the ground, piercing through layers of obstruction and soaring straight into the heavens.

Outside the Spirit Pagoda, countless people looked up at the pillar of light shooting into the sky.

What amazing treasure has been discovered there?

"Such a spectacle—could it be that something related to the gods has appeared again?"

"Wait, that's the direction of the Spirit Pagoda!"

Upon hearing this, many people immediately lost interest in exploring the matter.

Inside the Spirit Pagoda, many people also noticed the strange phenomenon and determined its source, but due to orders from higher-ups, they did not rush to investigate.

Seeing this, Qian Gu Die Ting realized that the matter should have come to an end, and subconsciously looked at Snow Empress.

"----If you want to go, then go ahead, he has given his permission." Snow Empress seemed to be communicating with someone, and finally nodded.

On the Spirit Pagoda, Ling Zichen also noticed this scene, his eyes filled with shock, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Is this finished?"

Huo Yuhao did not answer immediately. He stretched out his palm, and the little tower, with a remarkable intelligence, leaned closer and landed in his hand.

This Natal Soul Tool, barely formed, already possessed considerable sentience. It lay quietly in Huo Yuhao's palm, its tower body trembling gently, the trembling rhythmic and subtly synchronized with Huo Yuhao's heartbeat, as if actively adapting to its master's aura.

"When I was designing you, I already had your name in mind: Spirit Pagoda!"

"Spirit Pagoda ----"

Ling Zichen's pupils contracted sharply, and he repeated the name with mixed feelings, until the light finally fell on the small tower.

The little tower seemed to understand, its body trembled slightly, and it rubbed against Huo Yuhao's palm.

Only then did Huo Yuhao answer Ling Zichen's question, "From the perspective of Soul Tool, it is complete; from the perspective of Divine Tool, it is not yet complete—or rather, it is only an embryo."

When Ling Zichen heard Huo Yuhao name his Natal Soul Tool the Spirit Pagoda, he was completely certain of Huo Yuhao's identity. Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, he was momentarily stunned.

However, the figure who had just appeared at the entrance of the basement level looked at the "Spirit Pagoda" with shock upon hearing this.

"This is just an embryo?"

At this moment, the aura of the "Spirit Pagoda" had not yet been fully contained, and its terrifying power made Qian Gu Die Ting, a Quasi-God, feel the breath of death.

Qian Gu Die Ting was absolutely certain that if he were hit by the attack of this Soul Tool, he would definitely be reduced to ashes.

This is something that even many divine Divine Tool lost in the Divine Realm cannot do.

Undoubtedly, this Natal Soul Tool is already Divine Tool, and it is even more powerful than many Divine Realm left behind in the Douluo Continent by the Divine Tool.

But in Huo Yuhao's eyes, this was still just a rough draft—what would the finished product look like?

While Qian Gu Die Ting was in shock, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to him.

Snow Empress had informed him in advance that the other party was coming here.

Previously, Qian Gu Die Ting dared not disturb him because he was refining weapons, and thus had not taken any action.

Only after realizing that things had come to a close and having received permission from Snow Empress —or rather, Huo Yuhao himself—did he rush over.

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly look at him, Qian Gu Die Ting felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly composed himself, took a few steps forward, and bowed respectfully.

"Your junior Qian Gu Die Ting, pays homage to your ancestor!"

His tone was respectful but tinged with trepidation—after all, the person before him was the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, a legendary figure from Ten Thousand Years Ago.

It was fine before if we weren't sure, but now that we know the other party's identity, we should treat them with respect.

Seeing this, Ling Zichen snapped out of her daze, looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression, and then bowed.

"Greetings, Spirit Ice Ancestor."

Since Qian Gu Die Ting had bowed to her, she could no longer pretend not to understand and could only follow suit as a junior.

A pitifully thick barrier had already formed between her and Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao looked at the two people in front of him and nodded calmly.

"No need for formalities, please rise."

The two straightened up. Qian Gu Die Ting glanced at Ling Zichen and spoke first, "Ancestor, now that you have returned, shall we send a message to the continent?"

"Just keep this to yourselves, no need to spread it. Everything will continue as usual, let nature take its course." Huo Yuhao shook his head.

Now that we know your identity, how can things possibly continue as usual?

Qian Gu Die Ting's eyelids twitched, and he said again, "How about letting Dong Feng step down and letting you regain the position of Tower Master?"

Huo Yuhao gave him a half-smile.

"He hasn't done anything to harm the Spirit Pagoda, and he's been quite diligent in his position as the Tower Master. Why the rush?"

Qian Gu Die Ting felt a tremor in his heart and gave a bitter smile to himself.

It didn't work out, but it's also true that Dong Feng once wanted to change the Spirit Pagoda's policy.

He didn't believe this person hadn't noticed; could they be waiting for them here?

Seeing his anxious expression, Huo Yuhao suddenly shook his head gently, "Alright, you don't need to be so nervous. Since Snow Empress Di Tian haven't pursued the matter, I have no interest in bringing up the past. What's important now is the future, not the past."

He paused, his gaze lingering intently on the Qian Gu Die Ting.

"As long as you focus on the Spirit Pagoda from now on, there's no need to worry about anything else."

The weight on Qian Gu Die Ting's heart was finally lifted, and he bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your forbearance, ancestors."

Huo Yuhao nodded, put away the "Spirit Pagoda" and other items, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

The artifact embryo has just been forged. He needs to test this Natal Soul Tool first, and then nurture it with Tribulation Lightning and the power of the plane.

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the basement returned to silence.

Qian Gu Die Ting looked in the direction Huo Yuhao had left and let out a long breath.

Fortunately, this person didn't seem inclined to pursue the matter further.

Within his Spiritual Sea, upon seeing his appearance, a Soul Spirit laughed, "Die Ting, the way you looked just now—"

--That's really cowardly.

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Die Ting snorted coldly.

"What do you know? That's our ancestor! Have the guts to come out and face him yourselves!"

Is it cowardice to face one's ancestors?

That's called following your heart!

Ling Zichen, standing to the side, watched the direction Huo Yuhao had left in, her feelings also complicated.

Having confirmed that Huo Yuhao was indeed her ancestor, she felt both excited and somewhat bewildered.

The guy who usually discusses Soul Tool Technology with me and occasionally gets a jab from me is actually the Spirit Ice Douluo?

At this moment, she recalled her bold words of replacing the Federation and surpassing her predecessors—

Ling Zichen suddenly felt her face getting hot.

This is truly shameful—a disgrace to our ancestors.

I wonder what Huo Yuhao thought of her before.

No, no, no, don't think about that. Think about something positive. They are among the few people in Ten Thousand Years who have seen the true face of Spirit Ice Douluo.

What are you thinking about?

Seeing her in a daze, Qian Gu Die Ting asked.

Qian Gu Die Ting knew about Ling Zichen, this scientific genius. Now that they both knew Huo Yuhao's identity, they could be considered to be in a different kind of "shared misfortune." Moreover, Ling Zichen's relationship with Huo Yuhao was obviously closer than his, so they could have a chat.

Ling Zichen snapped out of her reverie and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just find it... quite unbelievable."

Qian Gu Die Ting sighed softly and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Indeed unbelievable. After ten thousand years, our ancestor has returned. If word of this were to spread, the entire continent would be shaken."

Ling Zichen nodded, then couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty Heaven Battling Tian, why did our ancestor hide his identity?"

Qian Gu Die Ting remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "He naturally has his reasons. Perhaps he doesn't want to attract attention, or perhaps he's waiting for some opportune moment. This is not something we should ask."

Ling Zichen nodded first, then asked with a puzzled look, "This is Spirit Ice Ancestor, so who is the other one?"

Huo Yuhao is the Spirit Ice Ancestor, so who is Gu Yuena? Is she also an ancestor of the Spirit Pagoda?

But it seems like no one can match Gu Yuena.

Qian Gu Die Ting:"----

You're asking me this question? I don't know the answer either.

Perhaps that one really is a god?

After exchanging words with Ling Zichen, Qian Gu Die Ting left, intending to talk to Qian Gu Dong Feng and the others.

Huo Yuhao just said there was no need to rush, but he didn't say he wouldn't return to the position of Master of the Spirit Pagoda. They need to be prepared.

Huo Yuhao came down from the basement to the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda, where it was already crowded with people.

Although the instructions said we couldn't come to check, we could always wait on the first floor.

Seeing Huo Yuhao come out, they immediately became excited.

"So it was His Highness Huo Yuhao. No wonder there was such a commotion—"

"What was that just now? Was it the radiance of Divine Tool? Or... has this person regained their Divine Position?"

"Pass down the word: His Majesty Huo Yuhao has been restored to his divine position!"

Facing the excited gazes of the crowd, Huo Yuhao smiled gently at them and walked towards the Cultivation Room on the upper level of the Spirit Pagoda.

As soon as the door closed, the whispers behind him faded into the distance. With a thought, Huo Yuhao summoned the small tower and began experimenting with its various functions.

First of all, this Natal Soul Tool —or rather, Divine Tool— is made of extraordinary materials and is difficult to destroy by ordinary means; at least, it cannot be destroyed by anything below the God Rank.

Moreover, it has an extremely strong self-repairing ability. After all, metals have had self-repairing abilities since the beginning of Spirit-Forged Metal. To a certain extent, they can even repair the inscribed Soul Guidance Array, similar to memory alloys in some novels.

The Spirit Pagoda is made of Godly Alloy composed of nine metals, making it exceptionally powerful. Furthermore, it is connected to Huo Yuhao's third Martial Soul, and when linked to the Reincarnation Domain, it can share the Reincarnation Domain's rewinding ability with Huo Yuhao, without requiring Huo Yuhao to expend too much power.

This greatly increases the difficulty of destroying it.

Perhaps because Huo Yuhao imprinted various Laws upon this Divine Tool, it has already begun to possess the ability to mobilize the power of Laws.

Hmm, it's starting to look more and more like an Imperial Weapon.

"The only one that's hard to judge is Vaillant."

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly.

The "Spirit Pagoda," as Soul Tool, is actually designed to be very simple; its main function is amplification and magnification.

To this end, Huo Yuhao had collected a large amount of data on amplification and support-type Soul Skill, and with many years of research, he finally drew a level twelve core Soul Guidance Array for amplification.

There's also the Soul Power Amplifier that was researched a few years ago, which can upgrade Soul Tool by one level. It was also in preparation for this natal Natal Soul Tool Natal Soul Tool, which already has a corresponding structure.

It can be said that the Soul Guidance Array and structures of each level of the nine-story pagoda, even the core Soul Guidance Array of the twelfth level, all point to the same goal: to amplify the power injected into them to the Ultimate before releasing it.

He also referenced Old Man Kong's Silver Moon Divine Light Shield's use of Power of Space, which can accommodate and withstand amplified power to the maximum extent. This is one of the reasons why each layer of the pagoda is a folded space.

Of course, because it incorporates various Laws imprints and Source Core, it can be used as a weapon for conquest in the future, but for Huo Yuhao, the amplification is the core.

After all, this world is mostly filled with offensive Super Divine Tool, but once a certain level of power is reached, those Super Divine Tool can make a god invincible within their own rank, but they rarely enable a god to fight across ranks.

Not to mention those at the God King level, most of them possess Super Divine Tool —well, those who don't should refrain from commenting.

Having a Super Divine Tool that amplifies one's abilities would obviously provide a greater advantage in high-level battles.

In Huo Yuhao's vision, his full power could reach the God Rank, and with the amplification of the "Spirit Pagoda," he should be able to reach the power of Second Rank God in the lower realm.

Is that outrageous?

Huo Yuhao felt it was alright; if it didn't have such power, how could it be described as Soul Tool of level twelve or higher?

Besides, it's truly outrageous that a Duplication Sausage Oscar could enable Second Rank God to unleash attacks at the level of God King.

However, such power is obviously not suitable for testing, as it would cause too much noise.
