Legendary Armament Canon

1083 The True Enemy, The Origin of Divine Stones (2)
“What earth-shattering things can I do? I’ve always kept a low profile, okay?” Zhou Shu said angrily. “I just took in disciples and taught some giant spirits a little bit about forging. That’s all.”

“That’s all?” Shi Changsheng rolled his eyes. “If I remember correctly, forging didn’t exist in ancient times, right? Doesn’t that mean you ‘invented’ forging?”

“How should I know?” Zhou Shu shrugged. “Did the chicken or the egg come first? I’m still confused.”

“According to the history we know, forging originated from the ancient giant spirit race. After the ancient races were extinguished, my father happened to obtain the legacy of the giant spirit race. On that foundation, he carried forward the art of forging to greater heights,” Diao Moye said.

“In the future, all the forgers in the world will learn the art of forging passed down from my Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. Brother Zhou, you came from Great Xia’s Forging Division. In theory, the source of your forging skills is also my Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.”

It would have been better if Diao Moye didn’t say anything. With her analysis, the matter became even more incomprehensible.

“We only know that the art of forging originated from the ancient giant spirit race, but we don’t know who created it,” she continued with a strange expression. “It might really be you, Brother Zhou.”

“What are you talking about?” Bai Qianqian was confused. “Are you saying that someone’s forging skills are better than Zhou Shu’s? Then, can I ask that person to help our qingqiu race forge the Reincarnation Mirror?”

Wang Xuanyi, Diao Moye, and Shi Changsheng were stunned and looked at Bai Qianqian.

“You’ve misunderstood. In terms of forging skills, no one in the world can compare to Brother Zhou. Even my father’s attainments in forging can’t compare to Brother Zhou’s,” Diao Moye said.

Zhou Shu shook his head. “Madam Wang, you flatter me.”

“I see. Then, I’ll have to beg him.” Bai Qianqian pouted unwillingly.

“Miss Bai, I have a question,” Diao Moye said. “You want to forge the Reincarnation Mirror. As far as we know, the Reincarnation Mirror is the intrinsic divine weapon of the Demon Ancestor. Do you know the Demon Ancestor?”

“Who’s the Demon Ancestor?” Bai Qianqian asked.

Her question already explained everything. She didn’t know the Demon Ancestor at all.

“We can’t explain Brother Zhou’s return to ancient times,” Wang Xuanyi said solemnly. “If it’s true, then there’s something you can do, Brother Zhou.”

“What is it?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.

“Divine Stones!” Wang Xuanyi said seriously.

Shi Changsheng’s and Diao Moye’s expressions changed slightly.

“Divine Stones?” Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean?”

“Brother Zhou, you’re a forger, so you should know that Divine Stones are a necessary material for forging grotto-heaven divine weapons,” Diao Moye said. “Then, do you know where Divine Stones come from?”

Zhou Shu shook his head. “I really don’t know. I’ve heard that Divine Stones are refined from the heavens into stones, but I’ve never understood its meaning.”

“As the name suggests, Divine Stones are stones that can be used to mend the heavens. We mentioned there’s a leak in our world. This hole needs Divine Stones to repair,” Diao Moye continued straightforwardly, “Divine Stones are formed from the fragments of heaven and earth. That’s why they can mend the heavens.”

“Fragments of heaven and earth?” Zhou Shu pondered. “Our world isn’t shattered. How can there be fragments of heaven and earth?”

“Heaven and earth fragments might not be fragments of our world,” Diao Moye answered.

“It’s just like how the Nine Immortals came from another world. These people destroyed more than one world, and Divine Stones were formed from the worlds destroyed by them.”

“Madam Wang, are you saying that the Nine Immortals brought Divine Stones?” Zhou Shu said in surprise.

“No.” Diao Moye shook her head. “To be precise, the Heavenly Dao monsters brought them.”

“Heavenly Dao monsters? Didn’t Heavenly Dao monsters appear because of the influence of the Heavenly Dao?” Zhou Shu asked.

He had heard before that a forger’s fate was unknown in their old age. In their old age, their strength would decline, and they would become red-furred monsters. Zhou Shu had always thought that Heavenly Dao monsters were human martial artists affected by the Heavenly Dao. Now, from what Diao Moye said, there seemed to be another story.

“Yes and no,” Diao Moye said. “What affects them is not the Heavenly Dao of our world but the Heavenly Dao that intends to occupy our world.

“And these Heavenly Dao monsters come from the worlds he has devoured.

“The Origin World we’re in is brought by the invaders. This Origin World is actually expanding. The more invaders invade our world, the larger the Origin World will become.”

“The opportunities in the Origin World actually come from the losers?” Zhou Shu pondered. If Heavenly Dao Monsters came from defeated worlds, then the Martial Dao True Beads and Heavenly Dao True Beads dropped from them naturally came from other worlds.

In that case, the opportunities were legacies of the losers.

“Yes,” Diao Moye said with a heavy expression. “In fact, our Martial Dao actually comes from the Origin World, but the invaders look down on it. If we want to rely on the Martial Dao to resist the invaders, it’s not much different from drinking poison to quench our thirst.”

The Martial Dao they learned was something that the enemy looked down on. How could it be easy to defeat the enemy with just Martial Dao?

Of course, the human race was not stagnant. The origin of their Martial Dao was indeed from the Origin World, but after many years of exploration, they had their own discoveries and inventions.

“That might not be the case. In my opinion, different people have different understandings of the Martial Dao, and the strength they can display is also different. Just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean we can’t do it,” Zhou Shu said. “The Nine Immortals were very strong, but they still died at our hands.

“If we don’t even have confidence in ourselves, then there’s no hope of defeating the enemy.”

“A youth knows no fear,” Wang Xuanyi said. “Brother, you must keep it up.

“Let’s get back to business. The Heavenly Dao monsters in this Origin World were captured by the invaders from the worlds they destroyed. Not only do they carry the Martial Dao opportunities of their respective worlds, but they also have fragments of their worlds, which are Divine Stones.

“We have been trying our best to gather Divine Stones, but a considerable number of them have disappeared since ancient times. Since you’ve returned to ancient times, you might as well gather more Divine Stones.

“The more Divine Stones we gather, the higher the possibility of mending the heavens.”

“Can the ancient races also mend the heavens?” Zhou Shu asked.

“We don’t know.” Shi Changsheng, Wang Xuanyi, and Diao Moye shook their heads.

“Everything we’ve said is based on the fact that you’ve really returned to ancient times, Brother Zhou,” Diao Moye said.

“Brother Zhou, if you can mend the heavens in ancient times, that will be best. But that’s impossible. There was no Martial Dao in ancient times. The combat strength of the ancient races may not be weak, but they are far inferior to humans in other aspects. Mending the heavens requires countless forgers to take action at the same time. Brother Zhou, you can’t do it alone.”

Zhou Shu nodded. He still needed to digest what Shi Changsheng, Wang Xuanyi, and Diao Moye had said. All along, he had wanted the human race to defeat the demonic beasts. Who would have thought that demonic beasts were not the true enemy?

In that case, all his plans needed to change, but there was one thing that wouldn’t change. He wouldn’t stay in ancient times forever. He had to return to the future, return to the era he really lived in.
