The Great Merchant God King looked at Wei Chen with a flattering smile, as if seeking credit for something.
Wei Chen replied lightly, "See? You still have some use after all. If you satisfy me, there will be benefits for you."
Upon hearing this, the Great Merchant God King was overjoyed and said, "My lord, I will speak without reservation to ensure your satisfaction."
After pondering for a moment, the Great Merchant God King organized his thoughts and continued, "My lord, among the Ten Great Artifacts of the Ancient World, the most powerful is undoubtedly the Eastern Emperor Bell. The Eastern Emperor Bell is still within the Ancient World, but its exact location is unknown to anyone. Originally, it belonged to the Great Xia Divine King, but later it flew away from its place of worship and disappeared. However, the Great Xia Divine King can still sense the existence of the Eastern Emperor Bell; it is within his territory, yet despite numerous searches, he has been unable to find it. Afterward, when the Great Xia Divine King encountered trouble, the whereabouts of the Eastern Emperor Bell became even more mysterious. That traitor allied with the Endless Divine Realm, and their Deities searched within the Great Xia Divine King's domain but returned empty-handed. Hmph, those gods from the Endless Divine Realm are too naive; how could they possibly find one of the Ten Great Artifacts of the Ancient World?"
"The Great Xia Divine King learned some methods of using the Eastern Emperor Bell over countless years of research, which proved somewhat effective. Thus, his strength as the most powerful in the Ancient World is closely tied to the Eastern Emperor Bell. Once it vanished, that traitor found an opportunity; otherwise, with control over the Eastern Emperor Bell, who could have challenged him?"
"The Eastern Emperor Bell possesses immense power capable of destroying lands and devouring all; it is extraordinarily formidable."
The Great Merchant God King continued, "In the Ancient World, no Divine King can truly bond with any of the Ten Divine Artifacts through blood recognition; no one knows why. It is speculated that it is due to the artifacts themselves being very selective about bloodlines. Even Divine Kings cannot gain their recognition if their bloodlines do not match."
"Take my Refining Demon Pot as an example; in human hands, it has no effect whatsoever. Aside from refining demon souls to enhance its own power, it serves no other purpose for humans. It is rumored that the Refining Demon Pot can refine all Spirits, but in the Ancient World dominated by humans, those demons are pitifully weak—there's no need for the Refining Demon Pot to intervene. I believe that to truly become its master, one must possess a powerful demon bloodline. However, I dare not attempt this; if a strong demon were to take control of the Refining Demon Pot, I would be at a great loss and unwittingly create a formidable enemy for humanity."
The Great Merchant God King looked at Wei Chen with hopeful eyes. He knew that Wei Chen's friend had already recognized ownership of the Refining Demon Pot with her blood and was eager to know if this was true.
Wei Chen saw through his intentions and nodded slightly. "That's right; only those with powerful demon bloodlines can recognize ownership of the Refining Demon Pot. It was originally meant to belong to demons. My friend possesses the Ancient Ancestral Dragon Bloodline; having her wield the Refining Demon Pot allows her to unleash its full potential. At its peak stage, it can even refine an entire world."
"Any Spatial Plane actually has a soul; you understand this, right?" Wei Chen asked calmly.
The Great Merchant God King replied, "I understand that while a world's soul lacks consciousness, it truly exists."
"Exactly. So don't think about acquiring the Refining Demon Pot anymore; once it has a true master, even if you placed it before you now, you wouldn't be able to take it away," Wei Chen stated plainly.
The Great Merchant God King hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare think such thoughts."
"Good. Now continue."
"Alright."
The Great Merchant God King paused briefly before continuing, "The Eastern Emperor Bell remains in the Ancient World; you have the Refining Demon Pot in your possession. Now let's move on to those three artifacts still controlled within the Ancient World."
"First is Pangu Axe. The Pangu Axe possesses the ability to create land; using it allows one to carve out new territories and manipulate spatial tunnels for traversing through voids. Currently, Pangu Axe is in possession of Yellow Emperor among the Five Emperors."
"Furthermore, there is the Haot Tower, which can suppress all evil and demonic forces, currently in the hands of the Flame Emperor."
"The Fuxi Qin resembles a zither made of jade and silk, appearing in a light pink hue and emitting a soft white glow. The music of the Fuxi Qin is beautiful, capable of bringing peace and tranquility to even the most bloodthirsty heart, allowing it to become serene under its influence. The power of the Fuxi Qin lies in its ability to govern the hearts of all beings, held by Xi Huang."
"The Eastern Emperor Bell still exists in the Ancient World, but its whereabouts are unknown. The Pangu Axe, Haot Tower, and Fuxi Qin remain under the control of the Divine King, yet these three artifacts are constantly monitored by the Deities of the Endless Divine Realm, making it difficult to predict when a Supreme God from the Endless Divine Realm might go mad and send someone to seize an artifact."
"Take for instance the Kunlun Mirror in Zhuanxu's possession, an artifact capable of illuminating demons and traversing time and space, which was stolen."
"The Shennong Ding held by the Agricultural Sovereign often produces elixirs when controlled by him. Ordinary herbs refined with the Shennong Ding yield high-quality pills, while more potent herbs experience a significant increase in energy under its refinement. Unfortunately, the Shennong Ding has also been taken by the Endless Divine Realm."
Upon reaching this point, the Great Merchant God King could not hide his anger. The Deities of the Endless Divine Realm were despised by countless individuals within the Ancient World. Moreover, the Endless Divine Realm was loathed by powerful beings from the Ancient World.
But that was all they could do—harbor hatred. What could they do about it?
After pondering for a moment, the Great Merchant God King continued, "Shaohou originally possessed the Sacred Path Xuanyuan Sword, an artifact imbued with boundless power. Among the Ten Divine Artifacts, the Xuanyuan Sword holds the greatest fame and highest status; its might is unparalleled. However, it has long since been lost; it seems that this artifact looks down upon Shaohou and has no desire to serve him."
"The wood-element Divine King Taihao once had the Nuwa Stone, which possesses restorative powers and can even bring back life for humanity. The fate of the Nuwa Stone is similar; it has long since vanished."
"Sui Huang of the Three Sovereigns originally controlled Reprint. Whoever governs Reprint can command all beneath it. Reprint serves as a guardian artifact and is a leader among artifacts. Since Reprint disappeared, both Xuanyuan Sword and Nuwa Stone, along with Refining Demon Pot, have subsequently been lost from the Ancient World. It is speculated that if Reprint had continued to exist within the Ancient World, none of these other artifacts would have left or been seized by deities from the Endless Divine Realm. If all Ten Divine Artifacts were gathered together, even if all Supreme Gods from the Endless Divine Realm came together, they would be powerless against them. Unfortunately, with Reprint—the leader—vanished, there is no cohesion among them; thus, Ten Divine Artifacts have become scattered like sand."
The Great Merchant God King's understanding of Ten Divine Artifacts was unmatched by Wei Chen. In fact, Wei Chen's knowledge was limited to what he heard from Demon Lotus Emperor; he truly understood very little. He didn't even know which Divine King controlled which artifact or which artifacts had been lost or seized by the Endless Divine Realm.
In reality, Wei Chen did not even know who exactly comprised the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. His understanding of Ten Divine Artifacts' functions was superficial at best.
For instance, regarding Reprint's function—previously he thought it was related to power—only to realize that power belonged to Eastern Emperor Bell while Reprint served as a guardian artifact with leadership qualities...
Suddenly, Wei Chen understood why after inexplicably obtaining Reprint he encountered Refining Demon Pot next and then went to Nine Immortal Realm where he could even acquire Nuwa Stone and Xuanyuan Sword.
It was all due to Reprint's gathering effect; having Reprint would lead to a succession of other artifacts arriving.
However, Wei Chen felt overwhelmed; while acquiring other artifacts might be manageable, retrieving Shennong Ding and Kunlun Mirror—both taken by Endless Divine Realm—would not be so easy. Regardless of how difficult it may be, he must gather all Ten Divine Artifacts; only then could he control the Ancient World and become its False World God. Furthermore, with the power of Ten Divine Artifacts at his disposal, he could find suitable candidates to forge ten powerful gods.
The first would be Yan Qiqi; with her control over Refining Demon Pot, she now had hope for Ascend to Godhood.
Gathering the remaining divine artifacts, allowing the right people to swear loyalty to him, mastering the artifacts, and becoming a god—only then would his subordinates possess the most basic power.
After years of ups and downs, Wei Chen had long understood that his own strength alone was not true strength. Having a group of powerful subordinates was the way to rule.
After all, it was impossible to handle everything personally!
If he were alone, he would be burdened by countless matters and find no time for cultivation. A group of strong subordinates was beneficial whether it came to expanding territory or fighting.
Wei Chen's thoughts reflected the mindset of a truly mature leader.
“What's the attitude of the Yellow Emperor, who controls the Pangu Axe, and the Flame Emperor, who controls the Haot Tower, as well as Xi Huang, who controls the Fuxi Qin, towards the Endless Divine Realm?” Wei Chen asked calmly.
This question was crucial. To gather all Ten Divine Artifacts, the immediate priority was to stabilize the power in the Ancient World and ensure that those three artifacts remained there, never to be taken by the Endless Divine Realm again. Retrieving artifacts from those Divine Kings was far more difficult than snatching them back from the Endless Divine Realm. As for the Eastern Emperor Bell, Wei Chen had thought of some methods; once he arrived in the Ancient World, he would have the Great Xia Divine King sense its whereabouts. With Reprint accompanying him in the search, it should yield some results. However, what worried Wei Chen most were the two artifacts in possession of the Supreme God's subordinates in the Endless Divine Realm: Shennong Ding and Kunlun Mirror.
The Great Merchant God King did not hesitate and replied directly, “Rest assured, my lord. I know well about the Yellow Emperor, Flame Emperor, and Xi Huang. The three of them harbor immense hatred towards the gods of the Endless Divine Realm. Their artifacts are under constant surveillance by these gods; they would love to find a suitable place to relocate their artifacts to prevent any whim from the Supreme God leading to another theft.”
“Then which one or two Divine Kings might have already defected to the Endless Divine Realm?” Wei Chen asked lightly.
“It’s precisely those two Divine Kings from whom artifacts were stolen: Agricultural Sovereign and Zhuanxu. But this is merely speculation; outwardly they seem very close to the gods of the Endless Divine Realm, yet no one knows what they truly think deep down,” replied the Great Merchant God King.
Wei Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Good. I’m assigning you a task; you must complete it successfully.”
