Chapter 569: Time Before the War
After exchanging pleasantries with Gu Yuena and the others, Xu Xingyu learned that while he was refining his bones, half a year had also passed in the outside world, and there were still two years before the Holy Spirit Empire officially started the war.
It just so happened that this breakthrough to the god level also gave Xu Xingyu a new understanding of the laws, so he didn't rest for long before he started working to apply his insights on the laws to his seldom-used battle armor.
Because he had broken through to the god level, Xu Xingyu completed the Heavenly Forging that he had not been able to complete before at this moment, and he also became a master craftsman in the Douluo plane.
However, Xu Xingyu was not satisfied with the forging ability of the master craftsman. He knew that the so-called four-character battle armor might be very powerful, especially the battle armor made of the heavenly tribulation metal (the name Xu Xingyu gave to the heavenly forged metal he produced), which could be compared with the divine artifact.
But after all, the four-character battle armor can only be classified as a sub-artifact, a weapon that only demigod-level strongmen can use. Such weapons can no longer keep up with Xu Xingyu's current level of cultivation.
So after practicing continuously for several months, he sought to break through the limitations of Heavenly Forging and move towards a higher level of forging. To this end, he specially forged on the meteorites in the outer circle of Douluo Star while wearing the bone armor of the Dragon God's true body.
Because it belongs to the universe, there is no restriction of planes, and Xu Xingyu wearing divine clothes will be regarded as a person with first-level god status, so there will be no problem in moving in the universe.
After a period of hard work, he broke through the limitations of Heavenly Forging and reached the next level. Because it was too troublesome, he simply called this kind of forging Divine Forging. Only god-level strong men could forge this kind of metal.
Using this technology, Xu Xingyu upgraded his battle armor, which had just become a four-character battle armor, to a seven-character battle armor, and named it Zhu Tianxing Haihuang Longyue. He did not plan to change the name later as it was already very tongue-twisting.
After that, he returned to Douluo Star and passed on the Tianduan technique to Wang Donger, who was almost reaching the level of a title master, making her the second master craftsman on Douluo Star.
Under normal circumstances, the Douluo plane will only allow the existence of one divine craftsman. This is mainly due to the consumption of plane energy, because the amount of heavenly essence and earthly power consumed by each heavenly forging is extremely huge.
If there are too many divine craftsmen, the frequency of heavenly forging will increase, and the energy of the plane will show signs of excessive consumption.
However, since Douluo is now facing a crisis like the abyss, in order to strengthen the overall strength of living beings, Douluo Star Lord has opened up restrictions in this regard.
Of course, the so-called lifting of restrictions only means that there can only be one master craftsman, now there can only be two.
It allowed Wang Donger to become a master craftsman because of Xu Xingyu's consideration. After all, Xu Xingyu had helped Douluo Star Lord a lot. It also believed that Xu Xingyu would not treat itself like Tang San, and believed that Xu Xingyu would do a good job of supervision.
The most he asked was Xu Xingyu to give him more share of the abyss energy. There was no other way because the battle armor and mecha were born ahead of time, which caused the consumption of plane energy to be accelerated a lot, so it was reasonable to pray for more energy.
Xu Xingyu agreed to this request and expressed his understanding.
With the support of two master craftsmen, the Qi Ling Tower also sped up the production of mechas and realized the idea of mass-producing battle armors.
It is true that these mass-produced battle armors are only of the quality of two-character battle armors at best, and the enhancement is not as good as the customized ones, but there is not so much time to consider this issue now.
As for the three-character and four-character battle armor, the two wanted to customize it, but at this stage of battle armor, Xu Xingyu and Wang Dong'er still hadn't figured out how to bypass the restriction of having to participate in the battle armor.
Those soul masters are fine. As long as they are taught, designed and manufactured, it is just a matter of time. The problem is that there are really not many high-level soul masters in Douluo Three Kingdoms.
Today's battle armor masters (not counting mass-produced ones) are either from the Qi Ling Tower or from the people of the Sun Moon Empire who were adopted by the Qi Ling Tower. There are not many who originally came from the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
It is true that the Qi Ling Tower has used a method in which having people contribute their essence and blood during forging can indeed increase the affinity between that person and the metal of the battle armor.
However, this means that the blacksmith himself cannot allow his own blood or blood energy to flow into the metal, otherwise it will cover up the breath of the contributor. However, when it comes to soul forging and sky forging, the metal will inevitably be contaminated with the blacksmith's power during the forging process.
Therefore, this method can only be applied to situations below the spiritual forging stage, that is, the two-character battle armor is at the limit of not intervening in the battle armor creation process.
This means that at this stage, the only people who have four-character battle armor are people like Wang Dong'er, who have reached the level of Soul Douluo or titled cultivation.
After all, they had all learned one of the four major professions of battle armor under Xu Xingyu's training, so they also participated in the process of making their battle armor.
Gu Yuena's armor is the so-called six-character battle armor. Since she is already a second-level god, the four-character armor does not increase her strength much, but the six-character armor is just right.
The number of people who possess the three-character battle armor is not very large, only about a dozen people.
Fortunately, there is no problem with the battle armor on the mecha side.
As long as you are familiar with the operation of a mecha, it can be used as a weapon of war even if you do not participate in its manufacture.
With the existence of mechas, the strength of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms army has also been greatly improved, and they are always prepared for the next war.
Originally, the high-level officials of the Three Kingdoms in Douluo felt sad about the expenses required for mechas, but after seeing the power and convenience of mechas, they were immediately attracted to them.
Of course, there are still some people with conservative thinking who don't accept soul guides (someone named Yan), and Xu Xingyu is not interested in debating with them. He just lets them experience the power of mechas and battle armors for themselves and let them know how backward their thinking is.
It is said that although no one died that day, the pride of many people was trampled underfoot. Some people even wanted to commit suicide because their beliefs were shattered, but they were not even allowed to die, and those who wanted to die were scolded.
The general content is: You want to die just because of such a trivial matter? You still have the responsibility to travel! So you don’t deserve to die! If you want to die, die in the war with the Holy Spirit Empire, then I will respect you as a man!
After that, no one questioned Xu Xingyu's decision, and everyone obeyed the words of Xu Xingyu, the leader of the alliance.
Many people used to think that Xu Xingyu only had a high level of cultivation, but it turned out that he was also talented in management and politics, which led to many people who wanted to intrigue being suppressed.
In the following days, Xu Xingyu was either busy preparing for war, practicing, and accompanying Gu Yuena to nurture her baby (it takes a long time for a dragon to nurture a baby. Although it does not require waiting for ten thousand years like in the original novel, it takes at least a hundred years), and then practicing dual cultivation at night.
Xu Xingyu really doesn’t allow herself to rest for even a moment (laughs).
Originally, days like this would have continued for a while, but no one expected that the Holy Spirit Empire would actually launch a war a year in advance, catching everyone off guard.
