Such a significant change occurred on Craftsman God Star, and the Master of Craftsman God, as the master of Craftsman God Star, naturally noticed it as well.
The phantom of the Master of Craftsman God that Zhang Junbao initially encountered was merely a test he left behind in the passage, not the true Master of Craftsman God.
Although every Special Lifeform participating in the assessment experiences the scene of the universe's birth simulated by the Master of Craftsman God, very few are able to truly glean anything from it.
After all, everyone's level of understanding of the Law is different, and the difference in talent is even greater. Even if the same Law is demonstrated, people may not necessarily be able to comprehend the same understanding.
Zhang Junbao had recently received guidance from the Original Ancestor, and his understanding of the Universe Origin far surpassed that of other cultivators; even ordinary Universe Venerable might not be able to match him.
The moment he witnessed the Master of Craftsman God enacting the birth of the universe, he was immersed in a resonance with the Universe Origin Law. This resonance was different from the one he experienced in the Chaotic God Demon Domain.
Strictly speaking, that time it was the resonance between his Ancestral God Lingxi and the eight Heart of Law within the Chaotic God Demon Domain; his own Law Comprehension was merely being stimulated.
This time, however, it was entirely guided by Zhang Junbao's own Law Comprehension of the laws, just as if he himself had transformed into the Universe Origin Law, felt the existence of the Law, and become the origin of the Origin of Laws.
Therefore, with each strike of Zhang Junbao, even the Master of Craftsman God could feel the pull of the Origin of Laws. However, this pull was too weak for the Master of Craftsman God, but this could not obscure the fact that Zhang Junbao's own Law Comprehension resonated with the Universe Origin Law.
"Who exactly is this person whose resonance with the Law has affected the entire Craftsman God Star? Even the few times I've experienced such resonance, it only affected myself."
At the summit of Craftsman God Mountain, the Master of Craftsman God, as imposing as a mountain range, slowly opened his eyes and gazed at Zhang Junbao, who was building Heaven-Reaching Stairway at the foot of the mountain.
" Special Lifeform?"
"Wrong!"
Although the Clone Secret Technique could deceive even the most powerful Universe Venerable of the Universe Master. Even if Zhang Junbao's true body was hidden within his Internal World, the Master of Craftsman God, as the Universe Master, could still see the location of Zhang Junbao's soul through the external Extreme Yang Clone Jiadu.
As the World Lord, Zhang Junbao's soul represents his true race. Even though he used the Clone Secret Technique to seize the Special Lifeform of the Battle Armor Clan, his soul is still a human soul.
"It's a human. So it was him. The Human Race actually dared to release him. The Chaos City Lord isn't afraid of a repeat of what happened to Kedi back then."
The Master of Craftsman God recognized Zhang Junbao's true form at a glance. Even though he was far away on the Craftsman God Star, he had heard of Zhang Junbao's reputation.
After all, even though there are countless geniuses in the universe, those who can kill King-level Immortal while only being at the World Lord level are probably few and far between. Such geniuses would be sought after even by the Universe Master.
"With the Original Ancestor suppressed, even if the Human Race's Treasure Refiner can refine Supreme Treasure, they can only refine Ordinary Supreme Treasure. They simply cannot refine High-grade Supreme Treasure or even Top-tier Supreme Treasure, let alone Peak Supreme Treasure."
"My teacher instructed me to test Zhang Junbao, the Human Race genius, on his behalf. I didn't expect him to come knocking on my door so quickly." The Master of Craftsman God recalled that not long ago, the Sitting Mountain Guest had suddenly sent him a telepathic message, telling him that if Zhang Junbao came looking for him, he should conduct the test on his behalf.
When the Master of Craftsman God was still the Universe Venerable, the Sitting Mountain Guest had instructed him in crafting treasures. Although they were not officially master and disciple, they were in fact master and disciple.
"My teacher is unwilling to accept me as his disciple, but instead has me test this human, Zhang Junbao. Could it be that he intends to take him as his disciple?"
I had heard that his talent for cultivation was exceptional, but I never imagined that his talent for crafting treasures was also so terrifying. At the World Lord level, he was able to trigger a resonance with the Law, even influencing everyone on the entire Craftsman God Mountain to follow his Law the laws. He is indeed more qualified than me to be my teacher's disciple."
Although the Sitting Mountain Guest did not accept the Master of Craftsman God as his disciple, the Master of Craftsman God always regarded the Sitting Mountain Guest as his teacher and regarded himself as a disciple.
Now that the Sitting Mountain Guest has given him a task, he naturally has to complete it diligently.
The Master of Craftsman God was naturally bold and generous, and he did not feel extremely angry towards Zhang Junbao. On the contrary, he envied Zhang Junbao for being valued by the Sitting Mountain Guest.
"Unfortunately, he is only World Lord, and this state cannot be maintained for long." The Master of Craftsman God had been keeping an eye on Zhang Junbao. Zhang Junbao's progress in the passage was getting slower and slower, and the problems he encountered were becoming more and more difficult, requiring him to spend more time thinking.
Zhang Junbao, inside the passage, was completely unaware of what was happening outside. He was in an extremely delicate state, as if the entire world had ceased to exist, with only the materials in front of him and the constantly appearing stairs in his hands remaining.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
The sound of hammering continued, but Zhang Junbao's hammer swings became slower and slower, each strike seeming as if he had endured countless hardships.
One day, ten days, one month, one year, ten years, one hundred years... The sound of hammering echoed continuously on Craftsman God Mountain, as if an ancient sage was imparting his teachings.
"Boom"
Finally, the final blow produced a deafening roar, as if the entire Craftsman God Mountain had exploded.
The resonance of the Law was disrupted by this roar and gradually dissipated.
The next moment, Zhang Junbao appeared inside a huge palace, and on the palace stood the Master of Craftsman God, who had been watching him closely.
However, Zhang Junbao did not see the Master of Craftsman God at this moment. He was covered in blood and sweat, and one hand was still unconsciously swinging the giant hammer that had long since disappeared. His eyes were empty, and his soul was still completely immersed in the previous resonance of the Law.
Zhang Junbao, as if embodying the Origin of Laws, repeatedly swung the giant hammer, striking the material in rhythm with the Law.
However, his physical condition and soul could no longer support this state, ultimately leading to his departure from the state of resonance with the Law.
On Craftsman God Mountain, tens of thousands of powerful Alien Race beings from all over the universe were suddenly shocked and awakened from their comprehension.
What happened?
"Why has the roar of the Law of Craftsman God Mountain disappeared?"
"Over the course of a thousand years, thanks to this wondrous sound of striking, my Law Comprehension and my ability to Treasure Refining have improved rapidly. Before, I could only refine Pseudo-Heavy Treasure, but now I am absolutely confident in refining true Heavy Treasure!" exclaimed a powerful Alien Race warrior whose body was as if cast from refined steel and whose body was radiating flames.
Beside him, a Golden Light suddenly appeared. A powerful Alien Race being with four hooves, a body over three hundred meters tall, and three golden eyes suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with gratitude and reluctance.
His massive body knelt down in the direction of Craftsman God Mountain, and he said devoutly, "Thank you, senior, for bestowing this opportunity upon me!"
On the other side, a four-armed giant slowly rose and knelt before Craftsman God Mountain, his eyes also filled with gratitude.
" Venerable Yonghe, how have you reaped your rewards?"
" Venerable Golden Eye, this is an opportunity bestowed upon us by that unknown senior Treasure Refining refiner. It is our blessing to be able to meet him on Craftsman God Mountain."
I only regret that my aptitude is too low to comprehend much, but even so, my Treasure Refining skills have improved significantly.
"That's right. Over the past thousand years, this unknown predecessor seems to have demonstrated to us the crystal-clear relationship between the Universe's Origin of Laws and various materials and treasures."
Unfortunately, we are too dull to grasp its mysteries, and can only understand a tiny fraction of it, yet even that has been immensely beneficial.
Both Alien Race Venerable were grateful for this unexpected feast of Law, and they had both made significant progress in the past thousand years.
The other powerful Alien Race waiting to become apprentices on Craftsman God Mountain also knelt down and kowtowed, expressing their gratitude for this blessing.
Unbeknownst to them, the object of their worship was none other than Zhang Junbao, who had once been hunted down by countless races throughout the universe.
Perhaps among the Immortal who are hunting down Zhang Junbao are their disciples and descendants.
"Boom"
Suddenly, another loud bang echoed from the mountainside of Craftsman God Mountain, followed by several bursts of laughter that resounded throughout the entire Craftsman God Mountain.
"Hahaha..."
Congratulations, Ninth Senior Brother...
Congratulations, Ninth Junior Brother...
"Haha, the original materials used to refine this treasure were of poor quality, and the Origin of Laws contained within them were insufficient, so it can only be refined into Ordinary Supreme Treasure."
Unexpectedly, we have obtained such an opportunity. Over a thousand years, guided by the fluctuations of the Origin of Laws, we have devoted ourselves to comprehending them and have actually refined a High-grade Supreme Treasure!
Finally, I've reached that level!
"That's right. In the past thousand years, my understanding of materials for Treasure Refining has improved more than once. It turns out that all kinds of materials resonate with the Universe's Origin of Laws, but we just haven't felt it yet."
This time, by helping my ninth junior brother refine High-grade Supreme Treasure, my Treasure Refining skills have also improved significantly.
"But who on Craftsman God Mountain could have caused such a strange phenomenon?"
"As far as I know, apart from our teacher, I'm afraid none of my fellow disciples could do this." After saying that, the Ninth Senior Brother raised his head and glanced thoughtfully at the summit of Craftsman God Mountain.
Inside the mountaintop palace, Zhang Junbao remained unconscious. This time, he was utterly exhausted.
The continuous forging over a thousand years drained every last bit of power from his body. Even as World Lord, possessing Internal World that constantly replenishes the World Power and can refine treasures by following the fluctuations of the Origin of Laws, the consumption was extremely enormous.
His soul power was almost completely drained, and he was only able to keep going by instinct.
Finally, an overwhelming weariness, stemming from both soul and body, surged up and overwhelmed Zhang Junbao's last vestiges of consciousness.
"It's truly rare for World Lord to be so exhausted as to fall asleep and lose consciousness. However, you have brought quite a fortuitous opportunity to my Craftsman God Mountain!" The Master of Craftsman God looked at Zhang Junbao, who had fallen into a deep sleep, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He was obsessed with crafting magical artifacts and paid no attention to the power struggles in the outside world.
However, at this moment, Zhang Junbao's thousand-year-long dedication to refining has earned him the respect of the Master of Craftsman God.
"Over a thousand years, a thousand steps have been forged on the Heaven-Reaching Stairway, comparable to the level of Universe Venerable!" The Master of Craftsman God looked at Zhang Junbao as if he were looking at a top-grade material for Treasure Refining that had not yet been forged, his eyes constantly flashing with brilliance.
Immortal God, whose souls are integrated into their divine bodies, will fall into a deep slumber if they lose too much of their divine bodies.
Once World Lord's soul is shattered, he will perish directly. Zhang Junbao, by squeezing out too much soul power and constantly resonating with the Origin of Laws, repeatedly pushing himself beyond his limits, ultimately caused his entire soul to fall into a state of exhaustion.
Because the soul itself is too tired, it needs to absorb energy to recover.
It's already quite good if a strong person can perfectly unleash their soul's potential, let alone push their soul beyond its limits. Therefore, it's possible for World Lord to be so exhausted that they lose their soul; there might not be even one in billions.
One year, two years, ten years...
Because of the resonance with the Law, Zhang Junbao's soul still wanders on the edge of the Origin of Laws, constantly absorbing the power of the Origin Law to restore his soul.
Zhang Junbao's sleep lasted a hundred years!
After the Original Ancestor risked destroying the Universe Origin to demonstrate the evolution of the universe for him, Zhang Junbao's affinity for the Origin Law was raised to an extremely high level.
After a century of slumber, his soul seemed to have roamed the Universe Origin for a hundred years, and the evolution of the Ten Great Laws was presented to him with unparalleled clarity.
Moreover, how the Universe's Origin of Laws are transformed into all things in the universe is also clearly reflected in his soul.
In other words, when Zhang Junbao refines treasures in the future, he can examine all materials from the perspective of the origin, and no longer need to rely on his own exploration to find the point of convergence between the materials and the Origin of Laws, like other Treasure Refiner.
If the Original Ancestor demonstrated to him the process of the universe's creation from nothing, then this experience allowed him to see how the universe evolved into its current prosperous state after its birth.
The creation and destruction of the universe have already manifested within Zhang Junbao's soul.
Zhang Junbao slowly opened his eyes. He had just had a dream that lasted for a hundred years, and his soul had returned to normal.
"You're finally awake! Lucky little one!"
A thunderous sound, like the rumbling of a mountain range, rang in Zhang Junbao's ears.
He looked up and saw the magnificent figure on the throne in the temple.
"You are... the Master of Craftsman God?"
What, don't you recognize me?
Didn't you come here today precisely to find me?
Zhang Junbao, a human genius!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Junbao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly recovered.
With the power of the Master of Craftsman God, if he harbors any ill will towards him, no matter what he does, he will be unable to defend against it.
Moreover, this is Craftsman God Star. Even if the Chaos City Lord were here, he might not be able to do anything to the Master of Craftsman God.
Zhang Junbao knew that his Clone could not hide anything from the Universe Master.
He simply put away his Extreme Yang Clone and switched back to his Human Main Body.
" Zhang Junbao pays homage to the Master of Craftsman God!"
"Hahaha..."
Hahahaha...
Zhang Junbao bowed down, but to his surprise, the Master of Craftsman God burst into wild laughter and stepped aside.
I cannot accept your bow.
"Kindness?"
The words of the Master of Craftsman God puzzled Zhang Junbao. How could the Universe Master be unable to accept a bow from him, the World Lord?
P. S.: I had something to do yesterday and got back too late to update, sorry!
