"Qing Dong, even armor that only grants a hundred thousand times the power of a Peak World Master?" Desolation Master asked, somewhat surprised, "What's the use of that?"
"To bestow upon some excellent Geniuses."
Qingdong Master cast his gaze towards Ender, "I think the Armor refined by Void River should have multiple forms, corresponding to different stages."
"That's right," Ender replied.
Upon hearing this, many Universe Master' eyes lit up, as they all understood the significance.
Flame God Race Armor is very rigid; Soldier Armor can only be used by Military lord Immortal and World Master, General Armor by Marquis-level Immortal, and King Armor by King-level Immortal.
From this, it can be seen that the Flame God Race's Armor has usage restrictions; one must reach the threshold to activate the corresponding Armor.
However, the Armor refined by Ender is different; it has multiple built-in forms, clearly corresponding to different stages of power bestowal.
For powerhouses among King-level Immortals, a hundred thousand times the power of a Peak World Master's bestowal provides limited increase in strength.
But for a Domain Master Genius, let alone a hundred thousand times the power of a Peak World Master.
Even a hundred or a thousand times the power bestowal is enough to elevate their life-saving ability by several levels and grant them extremely strong cross-level combat ability!
"Void River, my Huge Axe Dojo also needs some Armor refining slots."
Void Gold Master asked softly, "Can you introduce the Armor's defensive capabilities and the conditions for activating its power bestowal?"
"Hmm... the condition for power bestowal is that 1 times the power of a Peak World Master can activate 10 times the power of a Peak World Master's power bestowal."
Ender introduced, "The Armor I refine from now on will uniformly have a minimum activation of ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times the power of a Peak World Master."
"The Armor has defensive capabilities equivalent to a high-grade Heavy Treasure, capable of weakening physical attacks not exceeding its attack limit to one-thousandth."
Finally, Ender added, "Furthermore, when the final form is activated, it can weaken Soul attacks not exceeding its limit to one-tenth."
Void Gold Master nodded slightly and then said no more.
He was very satisfied with the Armor's defensive capabilities, especially its ability to weaken Soul attacks to one-tenth.
This point is crucial for Geniuses!
Although this effect only occurs when the final form is activated, if an Armor has Soul defensive capabilities, why ask for more!
As for activating with ten times the power of a Peak World Master, it's truly nothing for a Genius who can be bestowed with the Armor.
If, after becoming a Domain Master, one cannot even reach ten times the power of a Peak World Master, how can one be qualified to be bestowed with the Armor?
Penggong Master spoke, "Void River, my Universe Star River Bank also needs slots for refining Armor."
Ender nodded slightly, signifying his agreement.
"My Universe Mercenary Alliance wants some too."
Desolation Master laughed, "Void River, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"
"No problem."
Although Ender was somewhat displeased with Desolation Master, he still agreed.
Regardless of which authority figure requested slots for refining Armor, they were all for their own faction's super Geniuses; he had no reason to refuse.
And Primal Chaos City Lord didn't speak because there was no need to.
As a Universe Master from the Virtual Universe Company lineage, Ender would certainly refine Armor for the Corporation's super Geniuses, and compensation could be given at that time.
"Void River, is there any room for improvement in the special Armor you refine?"
Huge Axe Creator asked after a moment of thought, "For example, refining Armor that can bestow the user with tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of times the power of a Peak World Master."
"There is definitely room for improvement. Bestowing tens of millions or hundreds of millions of times the power of a Peak World Master requires better Armor to carry the secret patterns."
Ender's tone shifted, saying, "However, with my current level, I cannot yet refine Armor that bestows stronger power."
Neither Huge Axe Creator nor the other Universe Master were surprised by this.
Penggong Master, who could also refine ordinary Arcana Treasures, still couldn't decipher the mysteries of the Flame God Race Armor, yet Ender could refine it, which was already quite remarkable.
What's more, it wasn't that he couldn't refine Armor that bestowed stronger power, it was just that he couldn't do it at the moment.
Although the Universe Master were expectant, no one urged Ender to research Armor that bestowed stronger power.
The art of refining treasures cannot be rushed!
Moreover, Ender was also considered a Fourth-rank Universe Master, and his own strength improvement was very important.
Especially with Ender's talent and Comprehension Ability, if he focused on improving his own strength, he might even be able to create a Fusion ultimate secret technique!
Because Ender revealed that he could refine Heavy Treasures, the theme of this meeting completely went off track.
The Universe Master first discussed treasure refining, and then talked about replicating the Flame God Race's special Armor.
Fortunately, Primal Chaos City Lord, who had not spoken much, now spoke up.
"Alright, everyone."
Primal Chaos City Lord said in a magnificent and gentle voice, "Now we should continue discussing the ownership of the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor'."
"With Void River's status as a Master of refining, there's no problem for him to acquire the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor'."
Desolation Master's attitude had clearly changed. "I support this, as long as Void River refines some treasures for the Human Race."
Upon hearing this, the Universe Master felt somewhat speechless.
"Desolation, didn't you say before that Void River should offer treasures worth 2,000 Arcana Treasure Points to the Human Race?"
Dragon Walk Master teased, "How come it's changed now, and Void River only needs to refine some treasures?"
"Whether offering treasures or refining treasures, both are contributions to the Human Race, just different methods."
Desolation Master said as a matter of course, "Void River didn't have enough contribution to exchange for the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' before, but now that he is a Master of refining, he can refine treasures to exchange for contribution."
"It seems no one will object now."
Huge Axe Creator smiled upon seeing this, "Void River is a Master of refining, so my Pinnacle Arcana Treasure is saved."
"Currently, the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' is not yet complete; five crucial components are still missing."
"The Human Race, and even the Hong Alliance's primary task, is to help Void River collect these five crucial components."
"We Humans have already seized the treasures from a hundred-thousand-kilometer diameter palace. In the future, besides palaces with the strongest Heavy Treasures, if any other palaces appear, let other factions contend for them."
Huge Axe Creator said, "Once a palace with the strongest Arcana Treasure appears, we must concentrate our forces to contend for the token."
The Universe Master listened, and no one objected to this.
Each time Original Star opens, at most a dozen palaces appear, and those with a hundred-thousand-kilometer diameter are even rarer.
Currently, two palaces with a hundred-thousand-kilometer diameter have already appeared.
The first palace was where the Flying Spirit Alliance seized the Pinnacle Arcana Treasure 'Zhu Yan'.
The second palace was where their Human Race seized the top-tier set Arcana Treasure 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor'.
Additionally, Ender also seized treasures from a ten-thousand-kilometer diameter palace, which was a high-quality top-tier Arcana Treasure Armor.
Out of a dozen or so palaces, the Human Race has already seized treasures from two of them. If they continue to contend for more, they might be targeted by other factions.
Failure to seize treasures would be fine, but if a powerhouse falls, it would be a net loss!
It's better to abandon those palaces and only contend for the token of the strongest Arcana Treasure palace, in order to obtain the strongest Arcana Treasure.
"Void River."
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Huge Axe Creator said to Ender, "Would you be willing to sell three Armor refining slots to the Human Race every thousand epochs?"
"No problem."
Ender nodded slightly; three slots per thousand epochs was not many.
Geniuses worthy of being bestowed Armor appear at least once every hundred thousand epochs.
According to the Human Race's standard, a generation of Geniuses is considered every thousand epochs.
And not every generation can produce a super Genius worthy of being bestowed Armor.
In Ender's generation, it was extremely rare for a Universe Master and two Universe Venerables to emerge in less than ten million years.
"Each slot will temporarily be set at 1,000 Heavy Treasure Points. Don't think it's too little." Huge Axe Creator said, "If you can refine better Armor in the future, we will re-evaluate the price."
Normally, inviting a Master of refining to refine treasures would at least be calculated in Arcana Treasure Points.
If one were to invite a Master of refining from Craftsman God Star to refine an ordinary Arcana Treasure, the price would be at least twice the Arcana Treasure Points of that Arcana Treasure!
And the 1,000 Heavy Treasure Points for Ender to refine a treasure is approximately 0.3 Arcana Treasure Points, less than 1 Arcana Treasure Point, which is indeed very little.
"For contributing to the Human Race, 1,000 Heavy Treasure Points is enough."
Ender smiled, "However, the Materials must be self-provided, at least Materials for refining high-grade Heavy Treasure Armor."
"That is natural." Huge Axe Creator nodded.
The other Universe Master also had no objections; inviting a Master of refining to act at this price was already very cheap.
Moreover, for these Universe Master, very few of their relatives and friends remain in the world.
Those who can be bestowed with Armor for protection by them must be their valued Personal Disciple, with a closer relationship than descendants separated by countless generations.
Paying less than 2,000 Heavy Treasure Points for a close Disciple to refine a powerful protective high-grade Heavy Treasure is well worth it.
"Hmm... the matter is settled, so let's adjourn the meeting."
After Huge Axe Creator finished speaking, he disappeared from the main seat.
Upon seeing this, the Universe Master chatted briefly and then departed one by one.
As Ender stood up, he was called by Primal Chaos City Lord.
"Void River, come to my place for a chat." Primal Chaos City Lord said with a smile.
"Yes, Senior Martial Uncle."
Ender nodded slightly, then left with Primal Chaos City Lord.
...
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island Central Mountains, mountaintop palace.
There was an incomparably majestic palace, hidden within endless chaotic airflow, which was Primal Chaos City Lord's residence!
"Sit."
Primal Chaos City Lord returned to the palace, sat on the throne, and then materialized a throne behind Ender.
"You now have Fourth-rank strength, and are one of the strongest combat powers among our Human Universe Master."
After Ender sat down, Primal Chaos City Lord smiled and said, "Huge Axe Creator asked me to ask you if you have any thoughts of establishing your own faction?"
"Establishing my own faction?"
Ender was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, establishing your own faction, like Desolation Master and Qingdong Master, establishing a giant faction."
Primal Chaos City Lord nodded slightly, explaining, "Don't be surprised, this is a tradition of our Human Race."
"Any Universe Master who reaches Fourth-rank strength will be asked this question; it's a custom of the Human Race."
"For the Human Race, having one more giant faction is also a good thing, as it adds more vitality and provides another faction to cultivate Genius powerhouses."
"If you are unwilling, or not ready yet, that's fine too."
Primal Chaos City Lord smiled, "As long as you are willing to establish your own faction, you can say so at any time, and the Human Race will give you support."
Ender asked, confused, "My teacher and Dragon Walk Master?"
"You know your teacher's temperament."
Primal Chaos City Lord laughed, "As for Dragon Walk Master, he is a relatively ancient Universe Master of our Human Race, accustomed to leisure and unwilling to establish his own faction."
Ender nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Indeed, with his teacher's indifferent temperament and respect for his Ancestor Ancestor Yuan, he truly wouldn't think about establishing his own faction.
As for Dragon Walk Master, if he truly wanted to establish his own faction, he would have already become the founder of a giant faction and wouldn't have stayed in the Virtual Universe Company until now.
"What are your thoughts?" Primal Chaos City Lord inquired.
"I don't have that thought for now."
Ender shook his head slightly, saying, "I've been a Universe Master for too short a time; I still need to create secret techniques to enhance my strength."
"You have already created the Strongest Secret Technique, ranking as a Fourth-rank Universe Master. Only by creating a Fusion ultimate secret technique can your strength undergo a qualitative improvement."
Primal Chaos City Lord paused slightly, then advised, "However, before that, you still need to create another Strongest Secret Technique; this is a prerequisite for creating a Fusion ultimate secret technique."
"Thank you, Senior Martial Uncle," Ender said gratefully.
"Since you don't have the idea of establishing your own faction for now, I will reply to Huge Axe Creator accordingly."
Primal Chaos City Lord then said, "Oh, and the Corporation will also need slots for refining Armor in the future."
"No problem."
Ender readily agreed; after all, it was just a slot, and when it would actually be refined was still unknown.
"The Corporation will purchase the Armor refining slots at the Human Race's acquisition price of 1,000 Heavy Treasure Points."
Primal Chaos City Lord laughed, "You wouldn't think it's too little, would you?"
"How could I?"
Ender shook his head slightly, sighing, "When I was weak, I also received focused cultivation from the Corporation, and my teacher also bestowed many treasures, which is why I am who I am today."
Upon hearing this, Primal Chaos City Lord couldn't help but sigh with emotion, his Junior Brother's vision was very good, and his decision back then was very wise.
Afterward, Ender chatted briefly with Primal Chaos City Lord and then left.
...
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island Central Mountains, mountaintop palace.
Ender sat on the throne, quietly contemplating.
He hadn't wanted to expose his identity as a Master of refining so quickly, at least not before creating the Strongest Secret Technique.
But Huge Axe Creator's actions disrupted his plan.
The Human Race, his teacher, Huge Axe Creator...
They had all treated him well, which made him decide not to hide it any longer.
"It seems I'll have to spend some time on refining treasures in the future."
Ender murmured, "Perhaps I should take on a few Disciples, preferably those with some talent in refining, so I can entrust some treasures to them for refining."
Thinking of this, he vaguely had a feeling that establishing his own faction might not be bad either.
"Forget it, let's talk about this later."
He shook his head slightly, "For now, I still have plenty of time..."
...
Half a year later.
Original Star Palace.
When all the Main Halls and side halls had opened, the sealed gates of the palace also opened.
After the palace gates opened, Ender and the others left the palace one by one, returning to the Human Territory or the Hong Alliance's base.
Because Penggong Master and Ice Summit Master were stationed there, and Dragon Walk Master and Ender, two Fourth-rank Universe Master, were present, no powerhouses from other factions came to seize treasures outside the palace.
After all, the strength of Ender's group alone was already comparable to some top-tier factions.
Soon after returning to Primal Secret Realm, he received news that a component of the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' had appeared...
