Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 384 The Heart-Stirring Craftsman God, Plotting Against the Mountain Guest

"Ancient heritage?"

"A friend of Teacher Zuoshanke? A step further?"

The three cosmic lords and the Craftsman God within the palace were all deeply shocked, but their thoughts were completely different.

It is a widely accepted fact that the human race has acquired some kind of powerful inheritance in the cosmic ocean.

Otherwise, where would the human universe master have gotten such a huge divine body?

Moreover, besides having a powerful divine body, humans must have other secret techniques. Otherwise, how could an existence like the Lord of Youhou unleash the power of an ultimate secret technique?

The Zerg, Demon, and Machine races launched a joint attack, likely not only to suppress humanity's rise, but also for the sake of this legacy.

Other races in the primordial universe were also extremely envious!

However, the master of the craftsmen did not feel much about this inheritance.

As a special divine body of rock type, he spans over ten million kilometers, so he doesn't care about a mere ninety thousand kilometers of divine body.

But when Qin Ming mentioned the Mountain Guest, he was startled.

He was known as the number one weapon refiner in the primordial universe, but only the God of Craftsmanship knew best that his weapon refining techniques were nothing compared to those of the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

He wanted to become the disciple of the Mountain Hermit, but the Mountain Hermit refused to accept him!
This made him think of something else.

Not long ago, the Mountain-Sitting Guest found him and gave him a black metal plate, which he was to be teleported to the Starry Sky Beast Alliance if Luo Feng came to collect it.

He could roughly guess that this was a test for the mountain hermit to accept disciples.

Furthermore, the mountain dweller mentioned that the Lord of the Underworld might come to visit and learn and exchange ideas on weapon crafting techniques.

As everyone knows, the Lord of the Underworld is Luo Feng's good friend.

He originally thought that the relationship between the two was just that, but now he thinks he might have been wrong.

The Lord of the Underworld actually claims to be a friend of the Mountain-Sitting Guest?
The person sitting on the mountain even made a special trip to say hello!
How could a mere human being, a universe master born 20,000 years ago, possibly have any connection with the most mysterious mountain dweller in the primordial universe?
"Are you and Master Zuoshanke good friends? Are humans willing to pass on that ancient heritage to me?"

The master craftsman calmed his mind.

Very few people know that the 'Mountain-Sitting Guest' has the ability to refine supreme treasures!
Although the Mountain Guest did not accept him as a disciple, he addressed him as his teacher. If Qin Ming really had a way to help him advance further, then what would be wrong with joining the Hong Alliance?
He enjoyed forging weapons when he was weak.

Continuously breaking through...

Immersed in the endless years of weapon forging, they are mad about it!
As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

He has been stuck at the level of top-tier treasures for countless years, yet he cannot make any progress!

Inside the palace, the Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers, the Lord of Purple Mist, and the Lord of Junji looked at the Lord of Craftsman God with surprise. They were all friends of the Lord of Craftsman God, but they had never heard of him becoming an apprentice of the Mountain-Sitting Guest!
"Of course! Hasn't the Mountain-Sitting Guest mentioned me to you? As for the inheritance, as long as you join my Hong Alliance and make enough contributions, you can learn it."

Qin Ming said with a smile.

It is not impossible to pass on the "Perfect Codex" or even the "Secret Pattern Catalogue" to the God of Crafts.

The Hongmeng, led by the human race, also has more than a dozen alien cosmic lords, special life forms, or leaders of powerful races.

Over the long course of time, these cosmic rulers have developed a very deep connection with the human race.

Should we teach them the "Perfect Codex" and the "Secret Pattern Manual"?
The Lord of Chaos City and the Giant Axe had also discussed this issue. Some agreed, some disagreed, and Qin Ming was one of the ones who agreed.

He created one of the two great secret techniques, "The Perfect Codex" and "The Mysterious Pattern Record," and he also spearheaded the development of the other.

Furthermore, given Qin Ming's strength, his opinion is naturally of paramount importance.

For Qin Ming, these two secret techniques were important, but they were not some closely guarded secrets.

For both him and for the human race, these two secret techniques only gave the human race a temporary advantage.

A world beast is born.

It is both a crisis and an opportunity.

Is the emergence of the Duan Donghe lineage a coincidence?
Qin Ming didn't think so; it was most likely one of the opportunities given by the original universe's self-salvation.

The same applies to the corpse of the later Jin Dynasty God King.

Compared to the inheritance of the Broken East River and the inheritance within the Jin World, these two secret techniques seem rather crude.

It's not unreasonable to use it to win people's hearts.

As long as they pay a sufficient price, such as more treasures, valuables, and resources in exchange!
The God of Craftsmanship possesses an astonishing talent in weapon crafting, and is worth recruiting.

The "Secret Pattern Catalogue," which explains secret patterns from the most basic perspective, undoubtedly enhances the art of weapon crafting, since weapon crafting is essentially the application of secret patterns.

By incorporating various secret patterns into the treasure, it is given special abilities.

Because of the "Secret Pattern Record", the Lord of Dragon Journey and the Lord of Peng Gong have vaguely made a breakthrough in the art of weapon crafting, reaching the level of a top-tier treasure.

If the God of Craftsmanship were to obtain it, he might be able to forge a supreme palace treasure.

Should I ask the God of Crafts for guidance?
wrong!
Qin Ming's idea was to pack up the entire Craftsman God Star and take it away for his own use.

His gaze fell upon the foot of Craftsman God Mountain.

This place is known as the number one weapon-refining holy land in the universe. Weapon-refining geniuses from their respective races emerge one after another, and there are countless immortals who can refine great treasures.

There are quite a few Venerables who can refine supreme treasures.

If he could connect with the Heavenly Crafts Hall of the Netherworld God Kingdom, it would be of great benefit to him. To maintain the operation of the Netherworld, a powerful army is essential.

And the treasure is a key part of it.

"I know that when you were weak, you received guidance from the Mountain Hermit and even wanted to become his student but could not."

"If you join my Hongmeng, perhaps I can let you become an apprentice of Zuoshanke and fulfill your dream."

Seeing the suspicious look on the God of Craftsman's face, Qin Ming dropped another bombshell.

The master craftsman was suddenly filled with excitement.

Becoming an apprentice of the Mountain Hermit?
The guidance he received from the hermit was something that happened a long time ago, and only he and the hermit knew about it.

Unless the Mountain Hermit tells him personally, Qin Ming has no way of knowing.

Could it be that Qin Mingzhen and Zuo Shan Ke are friends?

"Of course, that includes the three of you. If you are interested in joining my Hong Alliance, you can receive the same treatment. As long as you make enough contributions, you can obtain the inheritance." After saying that, Qin Ming looked at the three masters beside the Master of Craftsmanship: the Master of Extreme Mist, the Master of Purple Mist, and the Master of Myriad Flowers.

All three are special life forms. For the human race, such universe masters are the most worthwhile to win over because they are unlikely to pose a threat to the human race.

He didn't mind being brought into the Hongmeng alliance.

"Can we join too?"

Lord Junji was startled, and then spoke.

"Among the inheritances you humans have received, there must be some special secret technique that allows a god's body to grow larger, right? Ninety thousand kilometers is a lot for humans, but it's of little use to us."

He is a special life form made of rock, and also belongs to the mountain giants. He was born with a divine body that spans millions of kilometers, and is also a fifth-order universe master.

Ordinary traditions hold little appeal for him.

The same applies to the other two cosmic rulers.

The Lord of a Thousand Flowers is a special plant life form, while the Lord of Purple Mist is a special energy life form, both being enormous in size.

"Hahaha, who told you that my human inheritance is about my divine body growing bigger?"
That's just the surface. One of the functions of human inheritance is to allow the gene multiplication to reach perfection!

Ninety thousand kilometers is the limit of flesh and blood life.

But rock life and plant life are not 90,000 kilometers away.

When genes reach perfection, one can also receive gifts from the primordial universe and gain the favor of its will!

Qin Ming laughed loudly, revealing his true form as a mountain giant clone, his body swelling rapidly.

Rumble!
A divine body, tens of millions of kilometers in size, appeared. If the God of Crafts hadn't controlled the palace to grow larger, it would have been able to burst the palace!
The four universe lords, including the God of Craftsmanship and the Lord of the Extreme, stared at Qin Ming in disbelief, their hearts trembling.

Tens of millions of kilometers!

It is well known that the larger the body, the more difficult it is to move.

For example, the Lord of the Craftsmen God, although his divine body is tens of millions of kilometers in size, it is already very difficult for him to move. Most of the time, his main body is sleeping on the Craftsmen God Star.

He was just an avatar at this moment.

Qin Ming, though also reaching a distance of tens of millions of kilometers, showed no signs of difficulty moving and instead moved with extraordinary agility, which naturally shocked him.

The Lord of Junji, the Lord of Ziwu, and the Lord of Wanhua were all tempted.

Perfect divine body!

The more unique a life form is, the more it understands the importance of the divine body and what the favoritism of the primordial cosmic will means.

Although the genetic multiplication rate of special life forms is high, it is still limited to ten thousand times.

Apart from the eight naturally born beast gods, none of them have been able to reach 10081 times.

"Besides the perfect divine body, our human race has another inheritance, which is a cultivation system different from our era."

Instead, from another perspective, by combining that system with the understanding of the laws, one can easily create the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, or even the strongest fusion secret technique.

Similarly, this inheritance is of great help in weapon crafting.

Seeing that the four masters of the God of Crafts were somewhat tempted, Qin Ming smiled.

"Another system?"

"Can one easily create ultimate secret techniques, or even the strongest fusion secret techniques?"

"No wonder all the human universe masters have reached the fourth rank, and even many of them are at the fifth rank! So that's why!"

The Lord of Junji, the Lord of Ziwu, and the Lord of Wanhua all gasped in shock, knowing that Qin Ming would never lie about something like this.

The manifestation of the human universe master was exactly the same as what Qin Ming had said.

"Lord of the Underworld, you said that this inheritance will allow me to take another step forward on the path of weapon crafting, and even enable me to successfully become an apprentice?"

The God of Craftsmanship, overjoyed, said in a deep voice.

He believed Qin Ming's words to a large extent, but why should Qin Ming help him become an apprentice?
"Didn't the Mountain-Sitting Guest tell you that Luo Feng would come here? He should have given you a black metal plate, right? Do you think he did that?"

Qin Ming smiled, but asked a question in return.

Black metal sheet?
Luo Feng!

The God of Crafts was startled. He naturally guessed that this was a test given by the Mountain-Sitting Guest in order to take Luo Feng as his disciple.

Could this be Qin Ming's arrangement?
Otherwise, how would Qin Ming know all this?
He was wrong!

It wasn't that Qin Ming used the fact that Zuo Shan Ke took Luo Feng as his disciple to establish a relationship with him; rather, Qin Ming and Zuo Shan Ke were good friends, which is why Qin Ming took Luo Feng as his disciple.
A wealth of information about Qin Ming instantly flashed through his mind.

Upon learning that Qin Ming was coming, he naturally began to gather information about Qin Ming.

According to the intelligence, Qin Ming and Luo Feng were friends when they were young. It was Qin Ming who led Luo Feng to become a disciple of the Lord of Qianwu, and later Qin Ming became a disciple of the Lord of Darkness.

As a result, Luo Feng also became a disciple.

Once the Lord of Darkness was exposed, his relationship with his various disciples was no longer a secret.

In that case, it's quite possible that Qin Ming arranged for Luo Feng to become the disciple of the Mountain Hermit.

If Qin Mingzhen and Zuo Shan Ke are really friends!

Seeing the expression on the God of Craftsman's face, Qin Ming knew that the God of Craftsman was completely moved.

This is an absolute crushing victory in terms of intelligence!

Even if the God of Craftsmen were to contact the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the Mountain-Sitting Guest would still be terrified.

Qin Ming also had plans for dealing with the Mountain Guest.

It's alright now. Once his Netherworld Palace spreads, others may be alarmed, but the Mountain-Sitting Guest will definitely think of himself as a reincarnated powerhouse like him.

Reincarnation!

This is an ability only available in the Chaos Realm. But what about helping others reincarnate, or even controlling the cycle of reincarnation?

He wants the master craftsman.

He wants the hermit too!
Under absolute intelligence suppression, even those who remain hidden in the mountains can be used for one's own purposes!
