Chapter 1366
Wuqishen
The three major thresholds of True God, Void True God, and Eternal True God each present an escalating level of difficulty! This can be seen simply from the number of Eternal True Gods in Jinzhi World.
Strictly speaking, becoming a True God is divided into the 'divine power path' and the 'law path'. The law path is the easiest and most common. However, if one chooses the divine power path... it is incredibly arduous. Even if successful, based on gene level, it can be further divided into three tiers, with the third tier—reaching 90,000 times gene level—being practically legendary!
It can be said that attempting to become a True God by reaching 90,000 times life gene level via the divine power path is as difficult as becoming an Eternal True God! Any True God capable of reaching 90,000 times life gene level can easily become a Void True God! Even becoming an Eternal True God would not pose much difficulty.
Luo Feng finished reading, a frown creasing his brow.
The divine power path was incredibly difficult.
Reaching 90,000 times gene level on the divine power path was the pinnacle of difficulty.
"Can I reach 90,000 times life gene level before the end of this reincarnation era?" Luo Feng wasn't sure himself. "Regardless, I'll give it my all. Even if I can't reach 90,000 times gene level before the end of this reincarnation era, no matter what my life gene level is then, I will immediately break through to True God."
After reading everything, Luo Feng immediately spoke, "I wish to view some inheritances."
"You may," the golden figure replied directly. "Here is a list of numerous inheritances."
Whoosh!
The light screen changed, the previous text vanishing, replaced by a massive, detailed list of inheritances.
It was categorized into various types such as artifact refining, mechanical, and close combat.
"Five thousand military merit, ten thousand military merit, a hundred thousand military merit? Tsk, tsk, those requiring a hundred thousand military merit can only be exchanged by soldiers of special legions?" Luo Feng scrolled through them, astonished. The military merit required for inheritances was indeed high, and some special inheritances couldn't be exchanged by ordinary soldiers even if they had the military merit.
"Truly expensive."
"Hmm? The second level of the Burning Divine Power Secret Art, usable by Law Masters? Requires a million military merit?" Luo Feng was surprised. He hadn't expected Jinzhi World to have such a high-level Burning Divine Power Secret Art, comparable to the first two volumes of 'Annihilation'.
After reviewing the extensive list of inheritances, Luo Feng was struck by the high military merit costs.
"I want to see weapons and armor," Luo Feng stated directly.
"You may," the golden figure responded, and the list on the light screen transformed again.
This time, each name on the light screen was accompanied by an image of the weapon or armor, its required military merit, and access permissions.
Luo Feng's gaze swept across.
"True God-level combat armor generally requires about ten thousand military merit to exchange."
"True God-level weapons vary greatly; the cheapest can be exchanged for two thousand military merit, while the most expensive require a million."
"True God-level battleships start at a minimum of fifty thousand military merit."
Luo Feng examined them one by one.
Clearly, palace-type supreme treasures were the most expensive, followed by soul-type supreme treasures, starting at a minimum of thirty thousand military merit. After that came domain-type, armor-type, and finally, attack-type.
Of course, each category had its unique items.
The highest-priced attack-type also reached a million military merit. The most expensive palace-type also exceeded a million military merit.
"My 300,000-plus military merit should be enough to exchange for quite a few supreme treasures," Luo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The price of supreme treasures wasn't as high as he'd feared.
After looking at inheritances, weapons, armor, and even some travelogues and records of Jinzhi World, a full day had passed.
The golden figure standing before Luo Feng showed no impatience.
Luo Feng's eyes gradually brightened, and he said solemnly, "I want to see mechanical stream treasures!" Coming to Jinzhi World, he had three main goals: first, to collect enough True God corpse materials to help him become a True God; second, to uncover the secrets of Jinzhi World; and third, to find a suitable and powerful mechanical stream treasure.
He already possessed the Shi Wu Wings and the Tomb Mausoleum Boat.
One was for assistance, the other for flight and escape.
What he needed now was something primarily for offensive combat!
"Here is the list," the light screen before the golden figure changed once more.
The list on the screen was quite sparse.
There were only a few dozen items, but all of them were 'True God-level mechanical' items. Clearly, higher-tier mechanical stream supreme treasures were not displayed, likely due to his insufficient strength.
"86 types?" Luo Feng scrutinized them.
Because there were so few types, each item on the light screen had an accompanying image and a simple description.
"Black Cloud Wings!" Luo Feng's gaze quickly landed on one of the mechanical stream treasures.
Black Cloud Wings: True God-level mechanical (common), requires 150,000 military merit to exchange (Python River Army soldiers have this permission).
Advantages: Excellent for escape, extremely strong defense, skilled at binding and trapping enemies.
Disadvantages: Relatively weak attack power.
These Black Cloud Wings were what the captain had used against him in Nine Smoke Marsh. The binding power was indeed terrifying. Luo Feng estimated that if he hadn't used the Tomb Mausoleum Boat but instead his Blood Shadow Blade, he would have likely needed to use 'Annihilation' to break free and escape.
"And this is only a common True God-level mechanical item?" Luo Feng sighed in wonder.
He glanced further down.
100,000 military merit, 100,000 military merit, 120,000 military merit, 120,000 military merit, 130,000 military merit... 150,000 military merit... 300,000 military merit... 1,000,000 military merit... 3,000,000 military merit...
The further down the list, the more exaggeratedly the military merit required for mechanical stream treasures soared.
One must remember that even True God-level weapons could reach a million military merit, let alone mechanical stream treasures.
"Even if they're better, I can't afford them, so what's the point?" Luo Feng wasn't overly ambitious, looking at the most expensive items at the bottom. Instead, he focused on mechanical stream treasures costing between 300,000 and 350,000 military merit.
He quickly locked onto a target.
It was a magnificent and beautiful two-handed battle saber.
Mist Blade: True God-level mechanical (common), requires 320,000 military merit to exchange (Python River Army soldiers have this permission).
Advantages: Divine power, when converted through the 'Mist Blade's' core, will generate extremely strong attack power.
Disadvantages: Extremely high divine power consumption.
"I need strong attack power, and I use a saber," Luo Feng felt a stir in his heart. "It's only a True God-level mechanical item, enough for me until I transcend reincarnation. Once I transcend reincarnation, this Mist Blade will be considered low-tier, and I can leave it for the human race."
"However..."
"It somewhat overlaps with my Blood Shadow Blade."
Luo Feng continued to look down.
He examined each item.
The further down the list, the more unique and precious the mechanical stream treasures became. Luo Feng even saw mechanical battleships comparable to the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, some even possessing offensive capabilities.
"The last item."
Luo Feng held his breath.
The last item was also the most expensive True God-level mechanical item.
It was named 'Wuqishen'.
Wuqishen: True God-level mechanical (unique), personally created by His Majesty the God King, only one exists. Requires 30,000,000 military merit to exchange! And only a conferred True God or Law Master has the permission to exchange for it.
Reminder: Python River Army soldiers do not have permission to exchange for this item.
Advantages: 1. Extremely strong defense. Wuqishen was refined by His Majesty the God King from precious materials; even an Eternal True God cannot destroy it.
2. Extremely strong attack power, possessing unparalleled offensive capabilities.
3. Extremely fast evasion. Wuqishen's body structure ensures its exceptional agility (Wuqishen is a mechanical treasure resembling a monkey, with a streamlined body and a flexible tail. Just looking at the image, one can feel the explosive power and movement speed it contains).
Disadvantages: Such immense power requires an astonishing amount of divine power; a normal True God's divine body would be depleted in moments.
Further Reminder:
Since its creation by His Majesty the God King, no strong individual has ever been qualified to exchange for Wuqishen with military merit. Its power is merely theoretical, with no factual confirmation. However, His Majesty the God King deigned to create a True God-level mechanical item, and anything His Majesty creates is never subpar. These exchange conditions were also personally set by His Majesty the God King.
"Wuqishen?" Luo Feng's heart yearned as he read.
Luo Feng, who was very familiar with ancient civilizations, clearly understood the value of 'Wuqishen'. This Wuqishen was the ultimate in single-entity mechanical items! Like the Shi Wu Wings, it also belonged to the single-entity category, operable by a single strong individual, but the Shi Wu Wings were primarily for assistance. Wuqishen, however, was perfect in every way, except for its rapid divine power consumption.
"Thirty million military merit!" Luo Feng roared in his heart. "When will I ever accumulate that much military merit?"
"Moreover... even if I had 30 million military merit, I wouldn't be qualified to buy it. I must be a conferred True God or Law Master to have the permission to exchange for it."
"And since His Majesty the God King created it, no one has ever been able to exchange for it."
Luo Feng shook his head and sighed.
How ancient was the history of Jinzhi World? His Majesty the God King had disappeared a very long time ago. From this, it could be inferred that the creation of 'Wuqishen' was extremely ancient. Yet, despite Jinzhi World's mechanism for selecting strong individuals, not a single one had ever acquired Wuqishen, demonstrating its profound difficulty.
"Conferred?" Luo Feng frowned.
"What is 'conferred'?"
"Must one be a conferred True God or Law Master to be qualified to exchange for it?" Luo Feng muttered to himself. "Conferred strong individuals seem to have a much higher status than soldiers of special legions."
Luo Feng looked at the golden figure before him. "I want to know information about being conferred."
"Requires 500 military merit," the golden figure said.
"Even this requires 500 military merit?" Although Luo Feng was reluctant, he clearly couldn't haggle.
"Alright," Luo Feng could only nod.
Whoosh!
The light screen before him shimmered, transforming into a detailed textual explanation.
Conferred...
It meant a strong individual was exceptionally outstanding, reaching the pinnacle of excellence, thereby earning the right to be 'conferred' with the character 'Jin'. This was an unparalleled honor! Every conferred strong individual possessed extremely high status. In Jinzhi World, the status of a conferred strong individual was second only to the Four Great Generals, surpassing all Void True Gods.
"Conferred with the character 'Jin'?" Luo Feng was startled.
The previous Duan Dong River had been conferred with the character 'Wu'!
Jin... Wu...
His Majesty the God King?
Luo Feng secretly nodded and continued to read.
The conditions for being conferred were extremely stringent. Of course, once one became a lofty Eternal True God, they would immediately receive conferment! As for Void True Gods, achieving conferment was one in a million! And True Gods? Since the mechanical stream treasure 'Wuqishen' was created, throughout the long history of Jinzhi World, no True God had ever been conferred.
