The God King's Gift

No wonder Teacher Zuoshanke had never contacted me since I entered Jinzhi World, nor inquired about the situation within it. I hadn't even heard of him entering Jinzhi World himself.

"Among the myriad powerhouses in the Universe Ocean, who isn't curious about Jinzhi World?"

"Chaos City Lord and other powerhouses from the Hong Alliance were all curious, many even questioned me. Yet, Teacher Zuoshanke never once asked."

"I've always wondered, how could Teacher Zuoshanke, merely a True God, create the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual' and refine the Star Tower!" A dawning realization bloomed in Luo Feng's heart. Though he still didn't fully grasp the enigmatic Zuoshanke, he now understood at least one thing: Zuoshanke was connected to Jinzhi World!

Jin Kingdom's core?

Jin Kingdom was annihilated, the God King fell, and a vast number of super powerhouses who fought alongside His Majesty the God King likely also perished. Zuoshanke is a True God, there's no doubt about that. So...

"Did Zuoshanke also receive an inheritance like me? An inheritance from His Majesty the God King, or perhaps from one of the super powerhouses under the God King?" Many thoughts surfaced in Luo Feng's mind, and he temporarily buried all his doubts deep within.

At least, he now knew a little more about Zuoshanke.

...

Numerous thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind in an instant, but he continued to converse normally with the God King: "Your Majesty the God King, who are those three peak existences you spoke of? I must know their identities first."

"That's natural," the magnificent royal-robed man said with a smile. "These three are the founding monarchs of another super force—the barbaric 'Shiguo'."

"The three founding monarchs?" Luo Feng nodded, then asked, puzzled, "Where are they now? Could it be... that Shiguo has already been annihilated?"

All the traces of ancient civilizations he had discovered were signs of annihilation; only Jinzhi World had survived.

"Annihilated?" The magnificent royal-robed man paused, lost in thought, and sighed softly, "Yes, it has been a very, very long time. Perhaps Shiguo has indeed been annihilated."

Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty the God King, if they are still alive, how should I find them in the future?"

Universe Ocean...

Too mysterious.

The edges of the Universe Ocean, no one has ever fully explored. For example, that colossal object suspected to be His Majesty the God King's corpse flew in from an extremely distant part of the Universe Ocean! So, in the extremely distant depths of the Universe Ocean, could there be other existences? Other terrifying forces?

Unknown.

For True Gods, the Universe Ocean is truly too vast and distant; if one travels too far, it's easy to get lost.

"To find them? No hurry," the magnificent royal-robed man said with a smile. "Once your strength truly becomes formidable, all secrets will gradually reveal themselves before you. Regarding whether Shiguo has been annihilated, I just thought carefully, and even if Shiguo truly was annihilated, it's unlikely that all three founding monarchs would have perished."

Luo Feng nodded, taking note.

...

"Look," the magnificent royal-robed man said, pointing to an empty space not far away, and a machine appeared out of thin air.

"This is..." Luo Feng carefully observed the machine before him, with its streamlined body, monkey-like physique, and a flexible tail. Simply sitting there silently, it exuded an aura that made Luo Feng's heart palpitate.

The magnificent royal-robed man said proudly, "This is the True God-tier machine 'Wuqishen' that I created. It can be used by a single powerhouse, and among single-user True God-tier machines, it is absolutely top-tier—a mechanical treasure capable of unleashing your strongest combat power. Its only drawback is its extremely fast consumption of divine power. Your divine body is already vast, but you still need to be careful; don't unleash it recklessly, otherwise, the consumption will be too great, and recovering your divine body will be very troublesome."

Luo Feng nodded, his eyes gleaming as he stared at the Wuqishen before him.

Troublesome to replenish?

Are you kidding? I have an endless Youhai clone!

"You completed the title mission and became a titled powerhouse, so you naturally have the qualifications to exchange for this Wuqishen. This Wuqishen is yours," the magnificent royal-robed man said.

"Mine... but what about the military merit..." Luo Feng looked at the magnificent royal-robed man.

The Wuqishen required 30 million military merit to exchange for.

"Haha, any completed mission comes with military merit rewards," the magnificent royal-robed man laughed heartily. "Given how difficult this title mission is, the reward I set is precisely 30 million military merit. Are you perhaps planning not to exchange for Wuqishen, but for other treasures instead? That is, of course, entirely up to your discretion."

"Exchange, of course I'll exchange!" Luo Feng quickly said.

So, that's how it is.

Completing the title mission rewarded 30 million military merit, which essentially meant delivering the Wuqishen directly into the hands of the powerhouse who completed it.

"Wuqishen..." Luo Feng looked at the Wuqishen before him. "The Universe Ocean is currently very turbulent, especially with the appearance of the Fourth Absolute Land, and the Original Universe's primal will is even actively guiding it! The power that Master Haolei unleashed before his death, completely opposite to divine power... something must be hidden behind it."

Luo Feng felt a sense of oppression, like the calm before an impending storm.

"The stronger my strength, the stronger my ability to cope will naturally be," Luo Feng thought to himself. "And this time, when I broke through Wuqi Tower, especially on the third floor, I obtained a large number of mechanical-type treasures, True God-tier combat armor, weapons, and so on from other soldiers. I can completely take some of these mechanical-type treasures to the military supply point, exchange them for military merit, and then use that military merit to exchange for things suitable for my human race."

How many treasures could one person possibly need?

Especially after I become a True God, I will only have one true body. A few powerful treasures will suffice. So, most of the other mechanical-type treasures are still prepared with the human race in mind! Of course, it's absolutely impossible to distribute them directly, after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

*Boom!*

Luo Feng reached out and stroked the Wuqishen, his life imprint easily branding itself within it. *Whoosh~~~*

This entirely black, monkey-like mechanical treasure instantly merged into Luo Feng's body, transforming him directly into a humanoid monkey with a tail, though his face remained Luo Feng's own.

"So complex."

Luo Feng studied it briefly and felt that some of the secret patterns and diagrams of this Wuqishen were extremely complex, far exceeding those of 'Ke Niao' and 'Golden Claw God'.

"This is a True God-tier machine, and it's among the top-tier of True God-tier machines," the magnificent royal-robed man beside him said. "To unleash its strongest power, one's comprehension of secret techniques must also reach an extremely high level among True Gods. Of course, even though you are currently a Law Master, you can still use it, because it can be divided into three different levels of combat power."

Luo Feng smiled.

That's right.

There are three different control methods, but even just the first one is more complex than the Golden Claw God and Ke Niao. Not to mention the third one; it's likely that the third one can only be hoped to be unleashed after I truly become a 'True God'.

"Keep your Wuqishen safe," the magnificent royal-robed man said. "I merely didn't want a large number of soldiers to know that this 'title mission' held a great secret, so I used Wuqishen as bait to tempt those Law Masters and True Gods. In reality, it's not much of a treasure."

Luo Feng didn't argue.

Right.

To a great Majesty the God King, what is a True God-tier machine? Even if it's the king of True God-tier machines.

But I am merely a Law Master. In my Law Master and even True God stages, this 'Wuqishen' is my best treasure. Even if I become a Void True God, this Wuqishen will likely still have some use.

"Since I hope you will become a God King in the future, I will naturally give you cultivation methods," the magnificent royal-robed man said, shaking his head. "However, what I specialize in is refining treasures, and clearly, you are not skilled in this area. As for combat-oriented styles... I am not skilled in them, but I have also prepared an inheritance for you."

Luo Feng's eyes lit up. Inheritance?

The more the merrier.

"You can comprehend it yourself," the magnificent royal-robed man said, throwing out a black-glowing crystal.

"In my Jin Kingdom, I was the only God King. Therefore, the combat-oriented inheritance I give you is naturally a bit inferior," the magnificent royal-robed man explained. "This is a collection of inheritances from powerhouses under my command and some powerhouses I killed. It can also be somewhat helpful for you to become a God King."

Luo Feng nodded, touching the inheritance crystal, feeling very expectant.

However, accepting an inheritance takes a long time; it's better to wait until he leaves Wuqi Tower to slowly study it.

...

"I've given you an inheritance; you need time to cultivate and improve. Although Wuqishen is of great help to you, once you encounter a Void True God, you still face the danger of falling," the magnificent royal-robed man continued. "Within this Jinzhi World, I grant you the qualification to borrow the power of the world."

"Power of the world?"

Luo Feng was surprised.

"You completed the title mission and received an additional title," the magnificent royal-robed man said directly. "Your status is equivalent to the Four Great Generals. This is merely on the surface, but in reality... the Four Great Generals also know that you are the most important person in my Jinzhi World and cannot be lost. Within this Jinzhi World, you possess absolute authority; if anyone dares to offend you, you can immediately borrow the power of the world to deal with them."

Luo Feng showed joy: "How powerful is it to use the power of Jinzhi World?"

"It can suppress Eternal True Gods and kill all Void True Gods," the magnificent royal-robed man said directly. "However, you must not kill indiscriminately."

Luo Feng nodded: "Understood."

This Jinzhi God King was so good to him because Luo Feng had obtained the "Lieyuanshu" inheritance, and the hope of killing the three founding monarchs of 'Shiguo'... this God King had clearly placed all his hopes on Luo Feng, after all, the God King himself had already fallen.

Precisely because he had such great hopes for Luo Feng, he naturally had to give him sufficient status and power.

At least within 'Jinzhi World', he could grant Luo Feng enough power.

"I can borrow the power of Jinzhi World?" Luo Feng's heart instantly filled with immense delight. "This way, won't the lives and deaths of those powerhouses from various forces in the Universe Ocean who entered Jinzhi World be entirely at my whim?"

Even the God King merely told him not to kill indiscriminately.

The meaning was very clear... if he truly wanted to kill, he still could.

"I've given you everything I can, and helped you in every way I can. I have already fallen, and this is all I can give you," the magnificent royal-robed man said. "The rest is up to you. Go, you should leave this Wuqi Tower now."

Luo Feng immediately bowed in gratitude; no matter what, the other party had helped him immensely.

*Boom!*

A pillar of light descended, striking Luo Feng.

Luo Feng... then disappeared from within Wuqi Tower, reappearing outside.
