Deities: Rulers of Nature

The emergence of Shioyama paper provided an excellent medium for Yomon, which was very important for the promotion of Yomon.

Jin Chen once recorded the forging process in Yaowen, but the content of just one alloy required a whole stack of wooden boards, not to mention the space it occupied, it was also quite troublesome to move.

But with Xishan paper, things were different. Even the entire forging process, after being organized by Jin Chen, was just a few dozen pages of "Forging Catalogue".

Beyond forging techniques, Jin Chen went on to write "Golden Wheat Cultivation Techniques" and "Jade Rice Cultivation Techniques," documenting the papermaking process in "The Art of Papermaking," depicting mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas in "Illustrated Guide to Mountains and Seas," and recording the habits of wild beasts in "Where Are the Mythical Wild Beasts?"

When Qingdao prayed to Ji Xuan for a blessing, he chose to learn about the history of the Xishan Snake People. Their ancestors had indeed failed to leave any records, but the great God of Nature must have known.

Ji Xuan did indeed know this, and he bestowed this content upon Qing Dao, who eventually compiled and wrote it down as "The History of the Snake People of Xishan".

After summarizing the methods of body forging, Qinglu wrote a series of knowledge books, including "Introduction to Body Forging", "Sun-Dwelling Body Forging", "Bronze-Rank Body Forging Reference", and "Qi and Blood Skills".

Crimson also wrote "The Meditation Guide", "Monday Soul Refining"... and "Analysis of Poison Techniques".

Others with various kinds of knowledge also wrote various books under the encouragement of Seido and Jinchen. They may have flaws or be imperfect, but it is a good start.

Ultimately, this knowledge was placed in a side hall of the Temple of Nature, with no barriers or restrictions, allowing everyone to come in and read and learn.

Ji Xuan also added some protection to this place, so that no matter how much time passes, the books in the side hall will not be damaged.

One day, Jin Chen arrived at the forging room on the first floor of the underground cave.

Because of the flowing lava, the temperature here is very high, and the clanging of hammering and the occasional sparks make this place very different from the surface.

Jin Chen walked through waves of heat and headed straight for a burly Spider-Man.

"Uncle Kane." Jin Chen waited patiently until Kane finished hammering the metal block before calling out.

Kane, who was wiping sweat with a silken towel, turned around and, seeing it was Jin Chen, smiled and replied, "Oh, it's little Jin Chen. What brings you here at this hour?"

Jin Chen took a book from his pocket, handed it to Kane, and said, "Uncle Kane, could you take a look at this book, 'Basic Ore Analysis,' and see what you think?"

This is the first professional book written by Jin Chen, which records the descriptions and characteristics of many kinds of minerals.

As for why they asked Kane, it's because Kane is the blacksmith who has handled the most types of ore. He may not be the most skilled, but he certainly has the broadest knowledge.

Kane had prior experience with this, so he read it very carefully. He knew that if the book was also fine, it would eventually be placed in the side hall of the temple.

Not knowing how long it would take Kane to finish, Jin Chen didn't stay in the forge to wait. After saying goodbye to Kane, he turned and left, heading towards the distant Iron Beast's lair.

As soon as you enter this area, a smell mixed with sulfur and minerals hits you.

Inside the enormous cave, several iron-smelting beasts, whose size was increasingly resembling that of pigs, were lying down and eating the hematite ore around their mouths. The crunching sound of them chewing made Jin Chen's teeth ache.

The Iron Beast's lair is four interconnected levels, so not all Iron Beasts are on the first level.

Jin Chen's gaze passed over the Iron-Melting Beast and he quickly spotted a figure on the other side.

The person was wearing a very distinctive purple outfit on top, with a hazy purple veil over it that looked like smoke.

The sheer fabric, light and airy, subtly reveals the graceful curves of the waist as the occasional breeze blows through the cave.

"Sister Carlos?" Jin Chen walked around and greeted her with a smile when she saw the familiar profile. "What are you doing here?"

Hearing the sound, Carlos snapped out of her daze, looked at Jin Chen, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Now, Carlos has been the High Priestess for many years. The recklessness she once had in the Dark Caverns has long since disappeared, replaced by the gentleness and composure of her predecessor, Caroline, radiating an aura of authority.

"I'll see how much these little guys have to eat," Carlos replied with a smile.

Carlos wasn't lying; she just didn't tell the whole story.

Indeed, with the Iron Beast breeding method bestowed by Ji Xuan, these Iron Beasts not only increased in size, but even the scales on their bodies changed from dark red to bright crystal red. Carlos would occasionally come here to check on the Iron Beasts.

But more often than not, Carlos used the Iron Beast to remember the deceased Caroline.

Unlike previous great matriarchs, whose bodies were desecrated by Kester, at least they were left with intact corpses.

What about Caroline?

Not only was Caroline drained to death by Kester, but her body was also torn apart without a care, as if it were trash.

In addition, the wars between gods and races that broke out later were too intense, and many places in the cave collapsed. After everything was over, Carlos searched the lair carefully, but he could not piece together Caroline's complete remains.

After settling down in the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm, Ji Xuan returned the Spider-Man remains that he had temporarily stored to Carlos and the others to handle themselves.

However, Caroline, as the previous matriarch, could only leave behind a cenotaph.

Whenever Carlos thought of this, he wished that Kester would be resurrected before his eyes, and that she would tear him to pieces and torture him to death... Ji Xuan's death sentence was far too merciful for that scoundrel Kester.

Jin Chen could see the turbulent emotions in Carlos's eyes, and considerately, she didn't press further. Instead, she changed the subject: "Sister Carlos, did you go to the side hall of the temple to read that book, 'On How Molten Iron Beasts Become Molten Iron Pigs'?"

This is a book written by Kadia. Although the title is not very serious, the knowledge inside is very rigorous.

"Kadia showed it to me as soon as she finished writing it, and it was quite meaningful," Carlos said.

In her book, Kadia not only describes the proper methods of breeding Iron Beasts, but also depicts some Spider-Men's breeding scenes in the Dark Caverns as a contrast.

"I also saw your newly written book, 'The Spider God's Script,' in the side hall." Carlos's expression turned solemn as he said this. "Thank you, Jin Chen."

In fact, neither Seido nor Jinchen forbade anyone to use the Spider God script. However, with the promotion of the Yao script, the Spider People took the initiative to learn and use the Yao script, and gradually, the frequency of the Spider God script was reduced.

This is not really the Spider-Men's fault. They are now living under Ji Xuan's protection, so it's natural for them to gravitate towards him.

However, the script inevitably carries the imprint of some races. When the older generation of Spider-Men passed away, and the new generation of Spider-Men began to come into contact with and use the Radiant script from a young age, the Spider God script inevitably began to slide into the abyss of loss.

Jin Chen's actions undoubtedly ensured that the Spider God Script would not be lost to the annals of history.

"This is what I should do; every bit of knowledge is precious," Jin Chen said, shaking his head.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Kane's out of the forge, you should go over there." Carlos said, ruffling Jin Chen's hair.

As a bronze-level sorcerer, Carlos's perception range was many times greater than Jin Chen's.

"See you later, Sister Carlos."
