Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 189 Free Refining

"Ten years from now, our human race will march on the Primitive Planet!"

The Supreme Council concluded with the calm yet powerful voice of the Chaos City Lord, as vast as the ocean.

Rumble~~~

The gates of the Pantheon opened, and the Cosmic Sovereigns walked out of the temple gates, chatting and laughing with each other.

"I never expected that the Lord of Reincarnation would forge such a treasure for us for free."

"Haha, that's great! Two eras ago, I just harvested a batch of Phoenix Bloodstones in the Extreme Heaven Secret Realm, which is perfect for forging a supreme treasure armor!"

"Those famous weapon refiners in our clan are charging exorbitant prices, and you have to wait in line to get their services. Thank goodness for the Lord of Reincarnation; we're confident we can enter the Primordial Star this time."

"Thank you, Lord of Reincarnation."

At this highest-level group meeting, the second piece of news announced by the Chaos City Lord truly excited these cosmic venerables.

The primordial universe of this era of reincarnation is still in its early stages of development, and the overall level of weapon crafting is actually quite average.

Apart from Zuo Shan Ke, the reincarnation of the God King of Jin, among all the races in the universe, only three "Master Refiners," including the God of Crafts, are capable of refining top-tier treasures.

Basically, most top-tier treasures and ultimate treasures can only be obtained from places like primordial stars or cosmic seas.

Even 'master craftsmen' who can forge ordinary and high-grade treasures are extremely rare.

Within the entire Hongmeng camp, there are only a handful of people who can reach this level, and within the human race, there are only two, and even these two can only refine ordinary treasures.

Firstly, there are very few weapon refiners capable of crafting supreme treasures, and secondly, the materials for supreme treasures are indeed quite rare, which leads to an extreme shortage of supreme treasures within the entire human race.

Even if there are some treasures circulating in the clan's treasury, it is extremely difficult to find one that is suitable for one's own use.

As for asking the two "master craftsmen" in the clan to tailor-make a supreme treasure, the price would be much more expensive. In addition to the materials needed to craft the supreme treasure, an extra 50% or even 100% of the materials would usually be provided as compensation for losses.

It takes twice as many materials to customize a treasure, which is quite a cost.

Of course, once the treasure is completed, its value will far exceed the price of the materials themselves, so it can't be considered a loss. It's just that these Venerables feel extremely distressed.

Now, these cosmic venerables have learned that as long as they provide the materials, the Lord of Reincarnation can forge supreme treasures for them for free. Moreover, if the forging fails, the Lord of Reincarnation will bear all the material losses. How could this not excite them!

This means that materials that could previously only be used to craft one treasure can now be used to craft two. Previously, it was impossible to commission crafting because of insufficient payment, but now there are no more obstacles!

If they successfully obtain a suitable treasure to protect themselves, their chances of plundering treasures on the Primordial Star will greatly increase!

Most importantly, the Lord of Reincarnation promised to bear all the material losses if the refining failed. This was like a windfall!

"Thank you, Lord of Reincarnation! Haha, I'll head straight to your temple now and wait. Before we march on the Primordial Star, I'll finally have my own supreme treasure! How wonderful!"

"Let's go, let's go too. I've accumulated some materials over the past millions of years, which should be enough to forge a supreme weapon."

"Old friends, anyone want to lend me two hundred catties of Milky Way sand? I'll pay you back double after we emerge from the Primal Star!"

"You'd better stay put and teach your disciples. You've been resurrected twice by reversing time, haven't you learned your lesson?"

Many of the cosmic lords dispersed, chatting and laughing, and in the blink of an eye, only the Giant Axe Founder and a dozen or so cosmic lords remained in the Pantheon.

"Zhou Yang, I never imagined that not only is your cultivation speed freakish, but you also possess the skill to forge supreme treasures. We are truly impressed!"

The towering, mountain-like Dragon Lord smiled at Zhou Yang.

"Heh, Samsara is truly a master of disguise."

The chubby Mr. Peng also smiled and struck up a conversation.

"Haha, I never expected that our human race would produce another 'Master Craftsman' capable of forging supreme treasures."

"Reincarnation, I admire you!"

Each of the universe lords spoke with a smile, for even they, the universe lords, had to take a master craftsman who could forge supreme treasures seriously.

"Haha, you flatter me. I can only refine ordinary treasures, it's nothing special."

Zhou Yang said modestly.

"That's incredible! Our human race has only had two master craftsmen before. You're so young. With time and experience, you might become a 'God of Craftsmen' in the future. We'll all be in your way then."

Lord of Dragon Journey, Lord of Peng Gong, and other cosmic lords all smiled and tried to get closer to him.

Previously, they only regarded Zhou Yang as a newly promoted junior universe master. Although they valued him, they didn't pay much attention to him.

However, after learning that he was actually a "master craftsman," they all changed their attitude and became enthusiastic towards Zhou Yang.

Just as the Lord of Dragons and others said, Zhou Yang is still so young, yet he is already able to refine ordinary treasures.

If one studies diligently, who's to say that one can't become another 'Master Craftsman' capable of forging top-tier treasures in the future?

Top-tier treasures are extremely attractive to even universe lords like them!

One by one, the universe lords chatted enthusiastically, and Zhou Yang responded with a smile. The dozen or so universe lords chatted for a long time before finally dispersing.

Before parting, the Lord of Youhou sought out Zhou Yang.

"Junior brother, this is your first time experiencing the opening of the Primordial Star, so you might be a little unfamiliar with it. How about we, the brothers, team up and explore it together?"

"Team up and explore?"

Zhou Yang smiled at the Lord of Youhou. He understood that the other party probably thought that he had only recently become the Lord of the Universe and that his combat power was limited, so he wanted to take care of him.

After all, there are 10081 original stars, and teleportation is not possible on them. When the forces of the universe's masters act together, the efficiency of searching for treasures is relatively low.

However, he had his own plans.

"Senior brother, I'm really sorry, but I want to explore on my own first."

He smiled and politely declined the offer from Lord Youhou.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that he genuinely had his own confidence.

Ninety thousand years have passed in the primordial universe, and hundreds of millions of years have passed in the new universe.

He didn't just spend that much time researching weapon crafting.

First, he broke through to the Venerable Realm, his life genes increased a hundredfold, reaching the level of those who had just entered the Universe Lord realm.

Moreover, while refining weapons, he was also constantly studying and perfecting his understanding of the laws of fusion.

Previously, he could only fuse the first 1080 profound mysteries of the eight lower laws, but after hundreds of millions of years, he has been able to fuse and master the first 5900 profound mysteries, truly taking a big step forward in his understanding of the laws of fusion!

At this moment, when he used the "Chaotic Suppression" move again, its power increased several times over, reaching the level of the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe. If it were further activated by the Samsara Divine Armor, it would even faintly surpass the power of "Light of Annihilation"!

With a life gene level comparable to the most ordinary universe lord, plus the Reincarnation Divine Armor and the two strongest secret techniques, all of this combined means that his combat power is now definitely among the top ranks of the vast universe lords!

Moreover, with such a long period of time having passed, even without paying too much attention to comprehending it, his understanding of the laws of time has reached a state close to its limit, and he is only one step away from completing the final step of spacetime resonance.

At this moment, he was practically just a step away from becoming a master of the universe.

Perhaps at some moment a flash of inspiration will strike, allowing time and space to perfectly resonate, thus truly taking the final step and entering the ranks of the masters of the universe.

At that point, he would truly be fearless throughout the entire primordial universe.

After the Supreme Conference concluded, Zhou Yang returned to his temple.

Over the next period of time, a large number of cosmic venerables came to visit, asking Zhou Yang to help them refine supreme treasures.

These are all veteran cosmic masters who, over the long years, have naturally accumulated a great deal of rare and precious materials for refining artifacts.

Upon learning that Zhou Yang could refine a treasure for them free of charge, they were overjoyed and hurriedly went to visit him.

In this way, the cosmic venerables provided the materials, while Zhou Yang was responsible for refining them. With the new universe's time acceleration, it wouldn't waste too much of the venerables' time.

In the end, the Venerables obtained the supreme treasures, and Zhou Yang also took the opportunity to hone his weapon-refining skills, so it was a happy ending for everyone.

Amidst this lively atmosphere, ten years quietly passed.

On this day, a vast wave instantly swept across the entire primordial universe and the territories of billions of races.

The Primordial Star has been activated!
