The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Oh."

……

"So the big deal you're talking about is having me organize half of the Black Tower space station, and then use that space to create artifacts?" The Great Black Tower tilted its head, feeling like it had wasted all its feelings on a dog.

“Because the artifact I’m creating is somewhat special, I’m worried that the Balance Star God will beat me up,” Chen Li said.

"You created a resurrection artifact, yet the God of Balance didn't even personally participate. What exactly are you planning to do that makes you so worried?" The Great Black Tower asked, puzzled.

"This is different. The artifact for the Resurrection Tournament is indeed exaggerated, even able to resurrect a Star God, but the problem is that it hasn't resurrected any heavyweight characters so far, so it's not a big problem. But the artifact I'm going to create is meant to break the balance. And I think the Star God of Balance has been putting up with me for a long time."

"Are you trying to become a star god?"

"It's not that outrageous. I just want to create a magical artifact that can suppress the demonic spirits of the immortals on the Immortal Ship."

It can suppress the demonic yin body of the Immortal Boat people, and it can do more than just suppress the demonic yin body.

"The Demonic Body. Why are you interested in this? Did Nguyen Mai ask you to?"

"Ruan Mei? Right, Ruan Mei is also from the Immortal Ship, right? It wasn't Ruan Mei who asked me to do this, but General Luo Fu who asked me to do it."

"The relationship between Ruan Mei and Xianzhou cannot be explained in a few words... In fact, the data on the hunting star gods in the simulated universe was obtained from Xianzhou through Ruan Mei's channels. As the only force in the universe that possesses all the blessings of the star gods, Xianzhou has many good things."

"We've gone off-topic. Anyway, are you going to avoid their sharp edge or stay here and watch me create this wondrous object?" Chen Li asked.

"I'll avoid his sharp edge? I'd like to see what kind of commotion you'll cause by crafting this strange artifact." The Great Black Tower snorted coldly and let Chen Li do as he pleased.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Chen Li summoned the Miracle Forging Platform directly.

As the Miracle Flame ignited, Chen Li was the first to throw the wreath with the word "innocence" into it.

As the wreath withered, the term "childlike innocence" was slowly extracted.

Then comes [meme], [purification], [release]...

The entries are like lines of code, and Chen Li's job is to compile these lines of code into a coherent form so that it can function successfully.

The large black tower standing beside Chen Li watched Chen Li's movements and the varying brightness of the inscriptions within the Miracle Flame intently...

The melodious sound of hammering echoed within the Black Tower Space Station, and even the staff who had been moved to the other side could clearly hear the pleasant sound.

Estella's eyes were filled with worry. The researchers were enthusiastically discussing what miracles Lady Black Tower would continue to perform at the Black Tower Space Station. Sirin, who was locked in a cabin and told not to see Chen Li until she learned how to teleport objects back and forth at fixed times and locations, looked frustrated. Meanwhile, Little Black Tower, which had already been equipped with the Genius Knowledge Module, was pondering the combination of machine soul and genius with great interest...

Everything was so peaceful and serene.

But something seems to be brewing.

……

The forging process lasted for half an hour. While the sheer number of terms Chen Li had to process was the main factor wasting time, figuring out how to "allocate" the power within those terms also exhausted Chen Li's mental energy.

When the final hammer fell, a new wonder was born from the Miracle Fire.

As the flame of miracles lost its fuel and gradually faded, the wonders truly came into being.

Chen Li reached out and picked up the strange object, about to observe its effects, but then felt an endless, immense power descending upon him.

Chen Li looked up and saw a beautiful figure.

His gaze fell upon Chen Li, and upon all things.

He is clearly one, yet He divides Himself into two.

He controls the two of Him, yet he also merges himself into one.

He watches over the balance of the world, but no one can observe His existence. He slowly "embraces," "connects," "shifts," "cuts off," and "fades away" from Himself. He holds Himself in His palm until He melts away.

At this moment, the unobservable, balanced star god "Mutual" cast a glance at Chen Li.

The God of Balance is different from other gods. He integrates his will into the logic of the universe's movement, eternally maintaining the balance and stability of all things in the world.

This means that the Equilibrium Star God is attacking everyone, yet unable to attack anyone.

[If anyone manages to tread the path governed by the star god, they will receive his distant perception, like a glimpse cast across light-years of the Milky Way. Many believe this is the only intersection between the star god and mortals.]

This state will be briefly broken when the Equilibrium Star God casts a glance upon a Fate Walker.

Then, under Chen Li's gaze, the star god with his hands clasped stared at Chen Li for a while, then slowly separated his clasped hands and raised his fist at Chen Li.

"Balance exists between all things!" At the same time, a whisper rang in Chen Li's ear.

In layman's terms: I've been putting up with you for a long time!

"Holy crap, is this how they're 'realizing' me offline? This is outrageous!"

Are you going to cast a glance at someone who disrupts the balance just to punch me? Hachiman, you bastard…

Chapter 197 Chen Li: I've become the Balance Envoy? How could I be the Balance Envoy!

"Great Black Tower! Save me!" Seeing that the Balance Star God seemed to have been holding back for a long time and finally decided to strike hard, Chen Li immediately shielded the Great Black Tower in front of him.

"Holy crap!" The big black tower immediately broke free from Chen Li's restraints and ran behind Chen Li.

"Big Black Tower, didn't you say you wouldn't avoid his sharp edge?"

"If it were just the Star God appearing, I definitely wouldn't avoid his sharp edge, but something's completely wrong now!" The big black tower hiding behind Chen Li shook its head frantically.

Because this is more than just showing up!

The Equilibrium Star God has long since integrated itself into this universe; in other words, the influence the Equilibrium Star God exerts on the world is directional.

For example, it was noted that the Interstellar Peace Corporation monopolized interstellar trade, becoming the de facto behind-the-scenes controller of many star systems. The wealth and poverty were no longer balanced, ultimately triggering a "border trade war."

In order to maintain the balance, they interfered with the Interstellar Peace Corporation in some way.

The Equilibrium Star God is almost impossible for the world to observe, and this is clearly a great opportunity.

But the problem is that things are not normal now.

Normally, a star god's glance is just a glance, and it wouldn't turn into a powerful attack like this.

Moreover, the gaze of the Star God is usually only felt by the Fate Walker and will not involve others.

The Wisdom Envoy could easily resist the pressure brought by the appearance of the Star God, but it was too difficult to withstand the Star God's wrathful attack.

"waste."

"In short, Balance Star God, if you hit Chen Li, you can't hit me. I have nothing to do with him." The head of the Great Black Tower peeked out from behind Chen Li, trying to remember the magnificent figure of the Balance Star God.

The Great Black Tower is not afraid of death; it simply wants to take this opportunity to observe the Balanced Star God more closely and obtain more data.

What if I die? At worst, I can have Little Black Tower or Chen Li watch an ad to revive me.

"Great and all-knowing being, I ask you... Disrupting the balance, why isn't it another kind of balance?" Seeing the Star God launching a heavy attack on him, Chen Li immediately drew a Miracle Card.

Seeing the Balanced Star God frozen in place for two seconds, Chen Li suddenly revealed a triumphant smile.

"Before you figure this out... let me show you the friendship and bonds between me and my dear friends! Go! My friends!" Chen Li forcefully threw a small golden ball made of countless rapidly spinning metal rings at the fist that was paused and was larger than the entire Black Tower Space Station.

Although the official WeChat account is currently suspending Alicia in the sky as the sun of the fairy ship, Chen Li can still project one.

Chen Li hurled the golden circle of friends at incredible speed toward the Balance Star God. The moment the circle of friends touched the Balance Star God, it instantly expanded, transforming into a colossal object even larger than the Balance Star God, "protecting" the Balance Star God within the circle of friends.

The figure of the Balanced Star God still swooped down within the "glance," but its size continued to shrink as the circle of friends shrank.

After the fist finally landed in front of Chen Li, the entire Moments feed, including the "glance" from the Balanced Star God, had shrunk to the size of a ping-pong ball.

“Everyone says the Balanced Star God is invincible in this world, but I think he’s just average.” The Great Black Tower slowly walked out from behind Chen Li.

"..." Chen Li looked at the big black tower speechlessly.

You think you're so high and mighty? You're using me as a shield, waiting for me to win the PK before you jump out and mock me, right?

Looking at the final stats, Black Tower, who was only responsible for the final taunt, got the MVP!

"It was just a glance, your mockery won't help, although you can tell from that glance that the Balance Star God really wants to beat me up." Chen Li sighed.

"Hmm, but I feel something's off. Isn't it a bit too illogical to beat you up by glancing at you?" The Great Black Tower straightened the top-pointed hat on his head.

"Who cares? Why not eat food that's been delivered to my door?" Chen Li shook his head, then tossed the golden ping-pong ball into his mouth and simultaneously canceled the projection of his WeChat Moments.

Both Moments and Gourmet Cells are one-star rare items, but the abilities granted to Chen Li by Gourmet Cells made it impossible for him to eat Moments. However, after Moments disappeared, all that remained in Chen Li's mouth was the Star God's glance.

The power of the Balanced Star God was instantly absorbed, and Chen Li felt his attributes greatly enhanced, while at the same time...

"Wait! Something's not right! Something's really not right!" Chen Li suddenly sensed something was amiss.

"What's wrong? Did the Balance Star God shrink down and enter your stomach, calling you 'sister-in-law' while punching your abdomen?" the Great Black Tower asked curiously.

The Great Black Tower wasn't worried about Chen Li either, since at worst he would die, and there would be no side effects after death.

Although Daheita always felt that after the "Resurrection Match" appeared, it was a bit too arrogant of him not to value his life since he hadn't even collected a single revival card.

But how can someone be called a genius if they have the tools but don't use them?

Just like having a gun but not using martial arts skills, how can one be considered a grandmaster?

“I did tell you that chatting with other members in the rare item group is beneficial, but you shouldn't try to learn everything. What I meant by ‘not right’ is that you're digesting this power too smoothly, to the point that…”

"So much so that what?"

"I've become the Balance Controller?"

"Huh? Are you alright? Did your brain get fried? Do you want me to kill you right now and then watch 30 minutes of commercials to revive yourself?" Big Black Tower said worriedly.
