After successfully advancing to a Lord of Engineering, Feng Chou finally had the ability to fully control the batch of Arcane Steel Golems and Thar Steel Golems in his hands.
In the information of the Lord of Engineering, there was the content of creating Arcane Steel Golems. As for the Thar Steel Golems, they could only be created by an Arcane Lord. However, the Lord of Engineering was enough to make small changes to the captured Thar Steel Golems and change their perception of their master.
In total, Feng Chou had spent more than forty years in the Cosmos Tower. Not only had he studied spell materials, but he had also never stopped researching and experimenting with divinity.
Through the divinity in his hands, Feng Chou used the way of a monk to perceive and detect the rules represented by these divinities. After that, he used the way of a mage to turn these rules into magic information through various inferences, calculations, and experiments. Finally, he turned these magic information into alchemy plans and created magic items with the same rules as these divinities.
And he spent so much effort to do so for only one purpose, and that was to create a divine artifact.
According to Feng Chou's repeated experiments, a level-nine magic item could only contain two points of divinity at most.
Although two points of divinity were enough to make a level-nine magic item more powerful than some legendary items, it was obviously far from meeting Feng Chou's requirements.
If Feng Chou wanted to create a real biological divine artifact, he had to create a suitable legendary item as a carrier.
This was also the reason why Feng Chou had to advance to a Lord of Engineering. A Lord of Engineering was the best legendary alchemy master, and there was no other.
After he advanced into a Lord of Engineering, with his legendary alchemy knowledge and the world rules that he got from godhood, Feng Chou created the legendary 'Boots of Tracking', the legendary 'Belt of Strength', the legendary 'Sword of Slaughter', the legendary 'Thunder Shield', and the legendary 'Battle Gloves'!
In the end, Feng Chou injected five points of divinity into these legendary items, which used adamantine as the main material and added thorium and a small amount of eternium. This was the maximum number of divinity that could be injected into a beginner legendary weapon.
The Gloves of Strength, Battle Gloves, Boots of Tracking, Thunder Shield, and Sword of Slaughter were low-level divine artifacts. Together with the Sun Scepter, a mid-level divine artifact, Feng Chou finally had the confidence to challenge the divinities.
In addition to these divine artifacts, what gave Feng Chou more confidence was Qiankun Pagoda.
With a population of hundreds of thousands of people and ten years of faith accumulation, Qiankun Pagoda extracted seven points of Ocean divinity and storm divinity from the power of faith.
Among them, ocean divinity and ocean divinity and storm divinity, three points.
In addition to extracting divinity from faith, the Universe Tower also used divinity to directly absorb pure soul power, allowing divinity to obtain rapid growth.
The inspiration for divinity to absorb the power of souls came from blood sacrifice.
In ancient times, almost all the gods had been addicted to blood sacrifice. But in the end, the gods found that although blood sacrifice could increase the power of the gods in the short term, in the long term, it would cause the believers to fall into endless wars and weaken the number of believers. Normal faith could not be maintained, and in the end, it was a loss.
Blood sacrifice had once caused the human race to be in danger of extinction. It also caused powerful races like Ogres, Troll, and Orcs to withdraw from the center of the world.
The ancient human gods finally got rid of the temptation of blood sacrifice. Theologians believed that this was the biggest reason why the human race, which was not very powerful, finally walked to the center of the stage of history.
The truth of history had long been submerged in the long river of time. Feng Chou did not know, but he knew that blood sacrifice could indeed increase the power of the gods.
After repeated experiments, Feng Chou found that the principle of blood sacrifice was very simple. Divinity could directly absorb the power of souls to strengthen itself!
The power of faith produced by ten thousand devout believers for twenty years might only be able to extract a little divinity. But if ten thousand people were sacrificed to the gods, it would be enough to increase the gods' divinity by a little and obtain a large amount of divine power!
For the ancient gods, who had few believers, the temptation of blood sacrifice to obtain a large amount of divine power and divinity in a short time was very difficult to resist.
However, the gods directly absorbing the power of souls through blood sacrifice would also pollute their souls, causing them to gradually go crazy. This would eventually lead to the gods' destruction.
Feng Chou did not have to worry about this problem at all, because he had a large amount of pure power of souls in his hands.
However, when Feng Chou let Qiankun Pagoda absorb a large amount of power of souls, he was disappointed to find that the ability of divinity to absorb and digest the power of souls was limited. It did not mean that his unlimited power of souls could make his divinity grow infinitely.
Over the years, Qiankun Pagoda had doubled the growth rate of his divinity by absorbing the power of souls. In the end, he had obtained eight points of ocean divinity and six points of storm divinity.
When Qiankun Pagoda possessed Feng Chou to assist him, he was equivalent to a divine being close to a demigod.
* Tut tut tut … * A steamboat with a thick chimney spewed out black smoke and white steam as it moved quickly on Hunter's Lake. A young sailor leaned on the railing on the side of the steamboat, looking at the island and tower in the distance, lost in thought.
The island was called the Miracle Island by people. It was built by Duke Leo, the son of the great Hacktos and the master of the Amborite Duchy, using the steel giants bestowed by Hacktos. The island, which was dozens of square kilometers in size, and the towering tower on it, took only eight years to build. It was said that only a few thousand workers were used to build it.
Even if the facts were right in front of them, people would still find it incredible and marvel at the greatness of the gods.
The young sailor named York was full of admiration at this time.
The man-made island was a standard circle, and the outer ring of the island was a circle of luxurious villas. It was said that the Duke rewarded his most trusted subordinates with a mansion to live in.
In the inner ring of the mansion was a ring-shaped park. From afar, it looked lush and shady.
Some of York's relatives served on the island. According to him, there was a huge square with the tower in the center inside the garden, and there was a circular moat between the park and the square.
He also heard that on the square paved with white stones, there were steel giants patrolling day and night. The tower was the residence of Duke Leo.
Very few people in the territory had seen the Duke. The wise Duke had established a very efficient and rigorous management system in this territory.
Under this management system, the city government was responsible for daily administration, the court was responsible for maintaining social fairness, and the parliament was responsible for supervising and balancing the two. Finally, the wise Duke gave every citizen the right to vote to check and balance these three departments of power.
