He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 516 Coming
Seven-colored flames continued to rise, transforming into a dazzling light tens of thousands of meters high, completely enveloping the giant's skeleton.

This isn't about melting it down, it's just about putting the bones back together.

In the entire world of pits, only the Hengyu Furnace can achieve this.

Nevertheless, the two sides are of different sizes, and it will still take a long time to piece together the giant's skeleton.

Based on experience from the future, this timeframe is at least ten years.

In the palace, in front of everyone, Hengyu Furnace began piecing together the giant's skeleton.

Jiang Lin wasn't idle either. He retrieved a large quantity of ore of the Breaking Boundary quality and began to refine it using extraordinary fire.

Although Jiang Lin's cultivation has reached the level of condensing his entire body's bones over the years, he is now turning to condense his internal organs.

However, it is still not as powerful as the giant skeleton.

Moreover, his weapons and ironware have already been upgraded.

In ten years, the Great Qian border army conquered so many lands and dynasties, including materials previously collected by powerful clans, numbering at least a million.

Thanks to these materials, even large iron artifacts like the Star-Destroying Hammer were upgraded to extraordinary quality.

To make further improvements, we can only wait to obtain more materials from other worlds.

Therefore, these high-quality ores are mainly used to forge weapons for the giant's divine body.

In the current outside world, including the many small worlds that Jiang Lin has already "planned" to conquer, there is not a single weapon that can reach the quality of breaking through boundaries.

The greatest weapon of the giants is themselves.

But Jiang Lin didn't think that just because the giants outside did that, he should follow suit.

Now that you've obtained the boundary-breaking ore ahead of time, why not forge better weapons?

Fortunately, the spatial rules of the Hengyu Furnace allow the Seven-Colored Divine Fire to be used to smelt a portion of the ore.

While piecing together the giant's skeleton, Jiang Lin was also refining the ore day and night.

Fortunately, although the Star-Destroying Hammer is only of extraordinary quality, its hardness attribute is extremely high, enough to forge the boundary-breaking ore into a weapon.

This goes on day after day, year after year.

Two years later, the last 100,000 li of land was also completely conquered.

The entire world of pits and caves, all its territories, belong to the Great Qian family.

Although remnants of other dynasties occasionally cause trouble, it is no longer a serious matter, and the local military forces are sufficient to deal with them.

Moreover, as time goes by, the number of remnants will only decrease.

One day, the world of pits will truly become one.

As for the border troops, they no longer need to fight.

Emperor Shun brought out the Divine Shock Formation and had them begin practicing it.

They learned that in the future they would be fully integrated into the body of the giant god, going to conquer other worlds and seek a better future for their descendants.

The vast majority of the border troops had no objections; on the contrary, they were quite excited.

After fighting so many wars over the years, they are really afraid of running out of wars to fight.

Those ordinary dynasties were no match for them long ago; if they hadn't wanted to play around a bit longer, they could have ended things a year earlier.

The Pit World no longer needs to fight, but the myriad worlds still have countless targets to conquer.

This prospect greatly excited the border troops.

Only a very small number, about several hundred thousand people, have grown weary of this kind of work and have chosen to retire and return to their rural homes.

Emperor Shun did not insist, after all, the Shocking God Formation was also a type of battle formation, which required the unified will of everyone to complete.

If someone disagrees with you, there's no point in forcing them to stay.

While allowing these people to retire to their hometowns, Emperor Shun also issued an edict ordering the entire world to conscript soldiers.

Anyone who joins voluntarily can receive tremendous benefits.

Enjoy everything to the fullest before merging into the giant's divine body.

Your family is entirely supported by the imperial court; you don't need to worry about them at all.

With the world of pits unified, the lives of ordinary people could only be described as slightly better.

However, after years of war, everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt.

It will take a long time to build a better life.

Not everyone has that kind of patience; they would rather risk their lives than not live a good life sooner.

It's like someone praying to a god, willing to exchange their lifespan for benefits.

Eight years passed after this recruitment process, and the number of border troops in the Great Qian Dynasty expanded to nearly 90 million.

It's still a bit far from the over 100 million that Jiang Lin mentioned, but it's not a big deal.

Eight years later, Jiang Lin's indestructible golden body has condensed further, reaching about 30%.

However, this has already reached the limit of the pit world, or rather, the current limit.

The weapon, crafted using the Boundary-Breaking Ore, is complete; it is a giant hammer.

It was over a thousand miles long, and the hammerhead was frighteningly heavy.

Even Jiang Lin couldn't use it.

This is a weapon unique to the giant's divine body; it should not exist in this world.

When this hammer was forged, the whole world trembled, as if unable to withstand its immense power.

A tremor ran through the Hengyu Furnace, and the giant divine body, which had been assembled, emerged from the furnace.

Before the palace, Emperor Shun stood in full armor.

The Great Qian Dynasty once boasted seven generals, but only six of them ever appeared in public.

Nobody knows where the seventh commander is or who he is.

Only now do many people understand this.

The seventh Grand Marshal of the Great Qian Dynasty is none other than His Majesty the Emperor!

To be precise, from the very beginning of the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty, the emperor always retained the position of Grand Marshal.

When the nation is in peril, the last commander must step forward to turn the tide.

The current Great Qian Dynasty can be said to be at its peak, and it can continue even if Emperor Shun does not emerge.

But he still stood up, because the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could do nothing, but he could not back down during wartime.

Seeing the emperor personally leading the expedition, the last trace of unease in the hearts of the 90 million border soldiers vanished completely.

They chanted the names of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Emperor with fervor, their eyes burning with fervor as they gazed at the giant that stood thousands of miles tall.

How glorious it is that they actually encountered something that will surely be recorded in history!

Jiang Lin looked at Emperor Shun, who was clad in armor, with a complicated expression.

When he learned that Emperor Shun was the last Grand Marshal, he was somewhat surprised, because his future self did not reveal this detail.

Perhaps this is what they meant by "interesting"?
Jiang Lin said, "Your Majesty's courage is commendable, but there is really no need for you to take action personally. I can still accomplish this task if I take the lead."

Emperor Shun simply shook his head; his majesty and domineering presence remained undiminished over the years.

Even though his face showed signs of vicissitude and old age, he still maintained the domineering presence of an emperor.

"I am the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. How can I lag behind in conquering other worlds?" Emperor Shun said, "Back then, Emperor Taizu raised an army, conquered a territory, and established a nation. What I want to do will certainly not be inferior to hers!"

Jiang Lin didn't say much. Emperor Shun had already abdicated, and a new emperor would ascend the throne thereafter.

That was a prince Jiang Lin had met a few times; he was very shrewd but not good at fighting.

However, at this time, the Great Qian Dynasty did not need the emperor's personal fighting ability, but rather a person with a sharp enough mind to safeguard this foundation.

Emperor Shun took a step forward, followed by nearly a hundred generals and thousands of soldiers.

Ninety million border troops stretched as far as the eye could see. This was the most prosperous period in the history of the Great Qian Dynasty, and even the remnants of those dynasties dared not show their faces easily now.

Ninety million border troops, each wielding a precious weapon.

The battle formation was so powerful that even a giant god-like body like Jiang Lin felt he could challenge it.

The arrow shot by the seventh ancestor of the Western Barbarians, if placed in today's context, would be somewhat inferior.

Who could stop such an army?

Emperor Shun arrived before the giant's divine body, looked up at the towering figure that reached into the clouds, and then looked at the generals behind him.

"It is an honor for you all to be traveling with me today."

"In the future, your names will surely be recorded in the annals of the Great Qian Dynasty, and your names will be remembered for eternity!"

The nearly one hundred generals laughed heartily, their voices like thunder, shaking the heavens.

They didn't care at all whether they could be remembered in history; they only felt that they had lived a worthwhile life.

Having conquered the entire Pit World, they can now join His Majesty the Emperor in conquering other worlds.

Throughout the centuries-long history of the Great Qian Dynasty, countless great generals have made outstanding contributions, but those predecessors did not have such a good opportunity.

Emperor Shun took a deep breath and suddenly exclaimed, "The Divine Shock Formation! Activate!"

At this moment, everyone's thoughts merged with His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts.

Led by Emperor Shun, they flew toward the giant's divine body.

All of their bodies transformed into streaks of light.

The entire sky was shrouded in this light.

At this moment, a figure appeared beside Jiang Lin.

It was the Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao, who had not shown himself for twenty years, who finally emerged from the runic world of the Void Observation Dao.

However, compared to twenty years ago, the current Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao is much stronger, with an aura as deep as an abyss.

Jiang Lin glanced at him and knew that he was no weaker than himself.

"The last three mountain lords?" Jiang Lin asked.

"They have already come under my control." The Master of the Void Observation Sect did not hide this fact. Everyone in the world knew that the Void Observation Sect had always been just a facade.

The so-called mountain lord and disciples are nothing more than incarnations.

The current leader of the Void Supervision Sect has gathered all the power of the Void Supervision Sect.

His strength was no less than that of the Taoist sect at its peak, and perhaps even surpassed it.

After all these years, we haven't waited in vain; there should be some progress by now.

"Is the Li family of Qingzhou the same?" Jiang Lin asked.

The Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao nodded slightly. The Li family of Qingzhou was not completely wiped out, but rather returned to the body of the Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao by faking their deaths.

Four hundred years ago, they were the offshoots of the previous Dao Lord.

It's normal for things to revert to their original state after four hundred years.

The only difference is that Li Qingluan did not return.

She stepped out of the body of the Virtual Daoist Master and looked no different from a real person.

"Young Master Jiang, it's been a long time," Li Qingluan said with a faint smile.

Looking at this former Li woman, Jiang Lin felt little emotion.

He already knew the other party's identity and why the Li family of Qingzhou wanted to form a marriage alliance with him back then.

Jiang Lin wouldn't say these words aloud.

The Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao absorbed all the power to achieve his own power, but did not absorb Li Qingluan, which was not beyond Jiang Lin's expectations.

He had even guessed this outcome long ago.

Rather than saying that the Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao absorbed other people, it would be more accurate to say that it was Li Qingluan.

Indeed, this woman from the Li family of Qingzhou is the true Dao Master.

The Master of the False Observation Dao is merely a substitute she manifests in the outside world.

It could even be said that these two are also incarnations.

The real mastermind is not in this world.

Jiang Lin glanced at the Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao and asked, "Why keep her alive?"

This was a rhetorical question, but the Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao didn't care and replied, "I want to become a true being, and so does she."

"Really?" Jiang Lin asked again.

It's the same kind of question that can't be answered, like asking the vendor if a watermelon is sweet when buying it.

The Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao didn't even answer the question. He only watched as streams of light merged into the giant's skeleton and said, "I've come today to see Emperor Shun off. Also, if you want to conquer other worlds, you'll need my help to succeed."

"Then what do I need to do?" Jiang Lin asked.

He didn't believe that he could get help without paying any price.

The Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao turned to look at him and said, "I need you to take me to a fragment of the long river of history and sever that thread of cause and effect."

Back when Jiang Lin wasn't this strong, the Dao Master of Xujiandao used the Xuan Tie Sacred Weapon Arrow to lure him to the back mountain of Xujiandao.

Before going, Jiang Lin noticed the causal lines on the Xuan Tie Sacred Weapon Arrow.

Entering the world of "Human World as Beautiful as a Painting," I used the power of the rules to sever this thread of cause and effect.

At that time, the Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao did not say anything about this matter, as if he was unaware of it.

Only today did he bring up the old story again.

Jiang Lin immediately understood that even an avatar would have a close connection with the original body.

This connection cannot be severed by the incarnation itself.

If you want to become an independent individual, you can only get help from Jiang Lin.

Because in this world, Jiang Lin is the only person who has the ability to sever causal connections.

Even the Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao, or Li Qingluan, could not do it.

The power of the rules they possess originates from their physical bodies and is incomplete.

Jiang Lin was silent for a moment, then said, "Not yet."

Severing the causal link now would alert the entity behind the scenes.

With Jiang Lin's current strength, he is completely inadequate to deal with that person.

Therefore, the causal relationship must not be altered under any circumstances, and it should not be discussed too much.

The Dao Master of the Void Observation Dao understood this as well, and nodded, saying, "You must make your move when the time is right. As long as you agree to my request, I can help you."

Jiang Lin would not hesitate; to him, the enemy of my enemy is always my friend.

Even if this friendship is based on mutual exploitation.

But what's the problem? In this world, how many people aren't using each other?
To put it bluntly, even his relationship with Sheng Yingchun, or his sister Jiang Xiu, was actually like that.

However, some of this exploitation stems from dependence based on familial ties.

Using the word "exploit" to describe it seems a bit inappropriate.

Others want to gain benefits from Jiang Lin, such as power, wealth, or freedom.

What Jiang Xiu and her group wanted was family affection.

In short, Jiang Lin didn't mind this kind of relationship.

He nodded and said, "No problem, I will make my move when the time is right."
