Granny Xinduan glanced at Ren Feifan, then at Ye Chen, and asked with a hint of wariness:
"How do you know about the Great Heavenly Emperor? The secrets of the Great Heavenly Emperor are extremely hidden, and ordinary people could never know them."
Ren Feifan waved his hand and said indifferently, "You don't need to ask any more questions. In short, Mingyue Shengzi and I will help deal with the disaster in Jinyao District."
"Right now, the most crucial thing is to resolve the chaotic pollution of Panwu Tianzun, but with our current strength, it is not yet possible to completely purify the chaotic energy on his body."
"Fortunately, the Holy Son of Bright Moon wields the Divine Moon Canghai Book. Although the power of the moonlight in the Divine Moon Canghai Book cannot completely purify the chaotic energy, it can temporarily suppress it."
"By lending the Divine Moon and Vast Ocean Book to your Golden Radiance District, we can temporarily alleviate the chaotic pollution caused by Panwu Heavenly Venerable and prevent the disaster from worsening."
Ren Feifan had devised a solution in a short period of time.
Ye Chen's Divine Moon and Vast Ocean Book can be used to alleviate the disaster in the Golden Sun District. Although it cannot be directly resolved, it can at least hold out for a period of time.
Upon hearing this, Granny Xinduan's heart stirred.
She knew about the Divine Moon and Vast Ocean Book, a sacred creation of the Moon Path. With the help of the Divine Moon and Vast Ocean Book, the disaster in the Golden Sun District could indeed be alleviated.
"Ye Chen, would you be willing to lend it? This might completely deplete the spiritual energy of the Divine Moon Azure Sea Book."
Ren Feifan asked Ye Chen.
Ye Chen thought for a moment, and almost without hesitation, said, "Okay."
He also didn't want to see Panwu Tianzun die and the Jinyao District destroyed.
Granny Xinduan said, "I don't believe you're being so kind."
The Divine Moon and Vast Ocean Book is extremely valuable, but she doesn't quite believe Ye Chen would give it up.
Ren Feifan said, "Of course, we also have conditions for lending the Divine Moon Ocean Book. We need to borrow the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform in the Golden Radiance District."
“I’ve heard that the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform is one of the three major forging sites in the End World, and we need to use this place.”
The Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform can be used to forge Ye Chen's Guanghan Shattered Star Sword and the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, greatly enhancing the power of Ye Chen's weapons. Ren Feifan naturally didn't want to miss it.
Upon hearing this, Granny Xinduan's expression turned solemn. After a moment of contemplation, she said:
“This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make the decision on my own.”
"The Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform is not under my control, but rather under the control of Hundred Refinement Mountain in the Golden Radiance District."
"Although I have considerable authority in the Forging Alliance, an accident occurred during the forging dispute between the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform and the Throat of Abyss Forging back then. The Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform was cursed by some kind of power."
"After that, the use of the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform was strictly controlled and required to go through layers of review by the Hundred Refinement Mountain. Even I could not borrow it for forging at will."
Ye Chen asked, "The throat of the Abyss Forging?"
A complex mix of reminiscence and solemnity flashed across Granny Xinduan's eyes as she said, "Indeed, the Throat of Abyss Forging, the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform, and the Divine Forging Furnace were known as the three great forging holy sites in the world. Back then, the competition between the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform and the Throat of Abyss Forging was the most fierce."
"Both were forged in the Sacred Land of the Blazing Sun, and both were treasures for forging. They could temper divine weapons and recast weapon souls. However, the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform was more inclined to 'condense the essence,' and the weapons forged there naturally possessed the spiritual light of laws."
"The throat of the Abyss Forging is biased towards 'power absorption', which can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to infuse the weapon body. Each has its own merits."
"Back then, the two major forging grounds fought for countless years to win the title of 'The First Refining Sect of the Sun,' refusing to give way to each other, until the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform was cursed, and the struggle finally came to an end."
"A curse?" Ye Chen pressed, "What kind of curse?"
Granny Xinduan paused for a moment, then sighed, "It is the curse of the scorching sun. In short, it will not be easy for you to borrow the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform."
"Firstly, it's because of the existence of the Curse of the Scorching Sun. Using the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform will cause one to suffer the pain of being burned by the scorching sun."
"Secondly, now that the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform is separated from the Sacred Land of the Blazing Sun, it is not replenished by the spiritual energy of the earth veins. Every time a divine weapon is forged, it requires an extra large amount of luck from the 'forger'. To put it bluntly, it is to use luck to replenish the weapon. If the forger is not careful, he will lose all his luck and his soul will be scattered."
“The Hundred Refinement Mountain will not easily lend you the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform.”
Ren Feifan pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are unsure, then take us to Jinxin City. I want to meet with the higher-ups of your Jinyao District. This matter needs to be discussed in person."
Granny Xinduan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ye Chen and Ye Xingcai, thinking that it was no longer possible for her to kill Ren Feifan and use his remains to forge the Dharma body of Panwu Tianzun.
The current disaster in Jin Yao District may truly only be resolved by Ye Chen's Divine Moon and Vast Ocean Book.
Even if it can't completely solve the problem, it's still a good thing if it can provide temporary relief and help us hold on for a while.
"Alright, come with me."
Granny Xinduan waved her hand to summon the accompanying cultivators, who then helped her up. She then led Ye Chen, Ren Feifan, Ye Xingcai, and Leng Yueyao, flying towards Jinxin City.
As they flew, the catastrophic scenes along the way became increasingly terrifying. The Geng metal tornado ravaged the land, and pitch-black chaotic energy spewed out from the cracks in the ground. Wherever it passed, even rocks as hard as iron were corroded and riddled with holes.
But the closer one gets to Golden Heart City, the weaker the aura of catastrophe becomes, as if an invisible barrier keeps all the chaos and danger at bay.
Before long, a magnificent city appeared before everyone's eyes; that was Golden Heart City.
This city was not built of ordinary bricks and stones, but was cast from a special kind of gold. It was golden all over and its walls were thousands of feet high. They were covered with ancient runes. As the runes flowed, they formed layers of protective formations, keeping the chaotic energy and the disordered energy of Geng metal outside the city.
Upon entering the city, Ye Chen looked around and saw that the streets were neat, the buildings were arranged in a staggered pattern, and the order was well maintained, making it seem like a completely different world from the apocalyptic scene outside the city.
Granny Xinduan led everyone through the city walls and flew straight towards the most magnificent hall in the city.
A plaque hung above the main hall, bearing the three characters "Jin Xin Dian" (Golden Heart Hall).
On the plaza opposite the Golden Heart Hall, there were more than ten figures, all of whom were high-ranking officials from the Golden Radiance District.
They were gazing up at the sky, as if they had grasped a divine secret and knew that Granny Xinduan had returned.
But when they saw Granny Xinduan's severely injured and weak appearance, everyone was shocked. When they saw Ren Feifan and Ye Chen, they became wary.
Ren Feifan is the Lord of Destruction, and his aura of danger goes without saying. Ye Chen, on the other hand, possesses the aura of the moon and the sun, shining brightly together, making his aura truly astonishing.
Granny Xinduan led Ye Chen and the others down.
In the plaza, an elderly man with a full head of white hair, dressed in a golden blacksmith's robe, spoke first, asking, "Xin Duan, why are your injuries so severe? Who are these people?"
Granny Xinduan looked at the old man and the high-ranking officials in the room, pointed to Ye Chen and Ren Feifan, and introduced them:
"Elders, Venerable Bailian, this is Chen Ye, the Holy Son of Bright Moon, and this is Zhu Feifan, the Lord of Destruction. I became acquainted with them through a fight, and I have brought them here to resolve the catastrophe in our Golden Radiance District."
She then introduced the old man's identity to Ye Chen: "This is the Lord of Hundred Refinements Mountain, a top expert in the Golden Radiance District, known as the 'Hundred Refinements Venerable.' His forging skills are superb, and he is also the direct controller of the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform."
Ye Chen cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Mingyue Zichenye greets all seniors."
"The Holy Son of the Bright Moon? He's from the Moonlit District?"
"The Lord of Destruction is extraordinary? Rumor has it that he is the new God of Destruction, with unfathomable strength!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, their gazes shifting back and forth between Ye Chen and Ren Feifan, some curious, some wary.
Venerable Bailian frowned, his gaze fixed on Ye Chen: "Holy Son of the Bright Moon? What is the connection between the catastrophe in my Golden Radiance District and the Moon Path? And why are you interfering in the affairs of my Golden Radiance District?"
Granny Xinduan said, "He wants to use the Divine Moon and Vast Ocean Book, a creation of the Moon Path, to alleviate the calamity on Panwu Heavenly Venerable. However, he wants to borrow your Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform in exchange."
"The Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform?" Venerable Bailian's face darkened, and his tone turned icy. "No! The Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform is the foundation of my Golden Radiance District, and we will never allow outsiders to lay a finger on it!"
His gaze was fixed on Ye Chen: "You have the aura of the Path of the Blazing Sun on you! Who exactly are you? Are you a spy sent by the Blazing Sun Holy Land, deliberately using the guise of the Bright Moon Holy Son?"
Ye Chen remained calm, meeting the gaze of the Hundred Refinements Venerable, and said:
"Senior, there is no need to doubt me. I am not a spy of the Sacred Sun Land. I was able to embark on the Sacred Sun Path thanks to the blessing of Panwu Heavenly Venerable."
“I have received a favor from Panwu Tianzun, so I must redeem him, which is also to save the Jinyao District.”
Ye Chen told most of the truth. His ability to embark on the Path of the Blazing Sun was indeed related to Panwu Heavenly Venerable, but he did not reveal his identity as the Lord of Reincarnation.
Upon hearing this, Venerable Bailian and the other high-ranking members peered into the heavens and felt a subtle connection. Ye Chen had not lied; his Pride of the Sun Dao Technique did indeed originate from Venerable Panwu!
In other words, Ye Chen, this Ming Yuezi, can actually be considered a successor of Panwu Tianzun!
Ye Chen said, "We can make a deal. I will lend you the Divine Moon Azure Sea Book to help you alleviate the disaster, and you will lend me the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform. I need to temper divine weapons."
Venerable Bailian's expression was uncertain as he glanced back and forth between Ye Chen and Ren Feifan, weighing his options repeatedly before exchanging glances with the other high-ranking members.
He knew that the catastrophe in the Golden District was imminent. Panwu Tianzun's Dharma body was decaying continuously. If this continued, the entire Golden District would be destroyed in no time.
The Divine Moon and Vast Ocean Book is indeed the only hope to delay the catastrophe at present, and he cannot miss it.
However, the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform is a sacred site in the Golden District and has never been used by outsiders.
If outsiders use it recklessly, it could deepen the curse or even cause the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform to collapse, which would be extremely bad.
After pondering for a long time, Venerable Hundred Refinements slowly shook his head and said:
"It's not that I'm unwilling to trade with you, it's just that the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform is cursed by the scorching sun. Even if I lend it to you, you might not be able to use it."
"This curse power is extremely strange. If you are not careful, you will be engulfed in flames. Are you sure you still want to try it?"
Ye Chen asked, "What kind of curse is this 'Sun Curse'? Please explain, Venerable Hundred Refinements."
Granny Xinduan had mentioned before that the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform was cursed, but she didn't explain it in detail.
The Venerable One of Hundred Refinements remained silent for a moment, then sighed deeply:
"This matter has to start with the origins of the people of Jinyao District. We, the people of Jinyao District, were originally the people of the Jiaoyang Path, and we worshipped the Jiaoyang Ancestor for generations. But later, the Ancestor passed away, the Jiaoyang Path gradually declined, and many people fell into confusion."
"At that very moment, the Great Heavenly Emperor was born."
"The so-called Great Heavenly Emperor is not a naturally born deity, but an imaginary god constructed by the dreams of many cultivators in the Chaos Era."
"At that time, all living beings longed for an emperor to rule over all the heavens, unify the twelve ancient divine paths, gather the power of all people, open up chaos, and create a new world."
"Thus, the Great Heavenly Emperor was born from the wishes of all living beings. At the beginning of his birth, his whole body was surrounded by golden light, and his facial features could not be seen. He may even have been a formless and shapeless being."
"We cultivators of the Path of the Sun were awestruck by the imperial might of the Great Heavenly Emperor the moment we saw him. We felt that he was the new Sun, the supreme sun that surpassed the progenitor of the Sun in the past."
"Therefore, some cultivators abandoned their faith in the blazing sun and turned to worship the Great Heavenly Emperor. Their bloodlines were bathed in the radiance of the Great Heavenly Emperor, and they became his subjects, who are now the people of the Golden District."
At this point, Venerable Bailian's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "But in the eyes of the people of the Sunlit Holy Land, our actions are undoubtedly betrayal and blasphemy."
“They see us as traitors and hate us to the core, and the Throat of Abyss Forging, as the core forging ground of the Holy Land of the Sun, has even cast the Sun Curse on us.”
"Back when we brought the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform out of the Sacred Sun, the platform was already entangled with this curse."
Ren Feifan, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up and asked, "Since the Great Heavenly Emperor is a god of fantasy, why do you still worship him?"
Although he was bound by blood and karma to the people of the Golden District, he could never see through their obsessions.
Venerable Bailian said, "Sometimes there is no difference between fantasy and reality."
"When a fantasy is real enough, even the false can become the true."
"The combined desires of all beings are enough to create a true god."
After listening, Ye Chen and Ren Feifan exchanged a glance.
At this point, all the causes and effects have been explained.
The original Great Heavenly Emperor had no facial features or true appearance; he was an imaginary god born from the wishes of all living beings.
Without a true facial feature, there is the possibility of people defining it.
In the future, Ye Chen may define his identity as the Great Heavenly Emperor as Ren Feifan.
The Jin Yao District lineage originally belonged to the Sacred Land of Pride and Sun, but later escaped and sought refuge with the Great Heavenly Emperor.
This action was seen as a betrayal and blasphemy by the Holy Land of the Sun!
The Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform, which they brought with them, was also cursed by the scorching sun.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen said to Venerable Hundred Refinements:
"No matter how dangerous this curse is, I must go to the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform to see what's so strange about this so-called 'Sun Curse'."
Now that things have come to this, Ye Chen has no way to back down.
After weighing the options again, Venerable Bailian concluded that since Ye Chen had already received the blessing of Heavenly Venerable Panwu, he could indeed be considered one of his own.
Moreover, the Divine Moon and Vast Ocean Book is far too important to the Golden Radiance District; if he were to refuse it, the consequences could be extremely severe.
After a long silence, Venerable Hundred Refinements said:
"Alright, I agree. But I can only give you three days. Within three days, you must leave the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform. If you dare to damage the platform, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform was his lifeblood, and he was extremely distressed and nervous to lend it to Ye Chen. He only agreed to it for the sake of the overall situation in the Golden District.
"Then thank you very much, senior."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, his expression calm, because he knew that Venerable Bailian was not entirely willing.
"Come with me."
Venerable Bailian waved his hand and, without saying a word, personally led Ye Chen and Ren Feifan to the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform.
Granny Xin Duan, Ye Xingcai, and Leng Yueyao followed.
