1532 The New God of Creation

"What do you think of Eternal Blacksmith's declaration?" Zi Xuan asked Tian Qiyuan out of curiosity.

"It would be amazing if he actually achieves such a feat," he calmly responded.

"Really? You're not worried?"

"Why should I be?" Tian Qiyuan responded, his voice tinged with a hint of indifference.

"He'll become the next God of Creation, you know."

"So what? It's not like that position will be his forever. I can still challenge for it."

"Don't you have to beat his record if you want to become the God of Creation after him?" Zi Xuan asked.

"Yes, and I also have to defeat him in a match."

If the position of God of Creation is already occupied, anyone who challenges that title must not only surpass the God of Creation's record during their God of Creation Ceremony but also defeat them in a one-on-one match.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Eternal Blacksmith emerged from his meditation and immediately began hammering away.

Once the Eternal Blacksmith began working, it took only moments for the other Divine Blacksmiths to notice a significant change in the way he struck the material. His movements were more refined and carried a profound quality that even they could not fully comprehend.

"My lord! He's improved so much; it's like he became a different person!" Heaven and Earth Blacksmith exclaimed in a shocked voice. He was the most familiar with the way Eternal Blacksmith smithed, so he was the most surprised out of everyone there.

"Looks like it wasn't just any ordinary enlightenment…" Star Forging Blacksmith mumbled.

"Since when was there ordinary enlightenments? No matter how minor or major, an enlightenment is still an enlightenment. Even a minor enlightenment could transform a carp into a dragon, drastically improving them." Silver Flame Blacksmith said.

"And if you consider Eternal Blacksmith's already deep understanding and vast experience, even a minor enlightenment would be unfathomably profound." Relentless Blacksmith added.

Eternal Blacksmith's first creation was a dagger. Unlike Heaven and Earth Blacksmith, Eternal Blacksmith wanted to get the weapon types he didn't excel at out of the way while he still had plenty of energy, as that would give him the highest success rate.

His first creation was a success, and so was his second.

He failed his third attempt but succeeded on his fourth attempt.

Eternal Blacksmith proceeded to succeed every other creation.

Thirty years passed swiftly, and Eternal Blacksmith was on his 30th attempt and 14th creation, which he succeeded in creating.

Eternal Blacksmith now had 15 successful creations while being only on his 31st attempt, so he had 19 more attempts to craft the remaining 10 treasures to fulfill his own declaration.

"Holy shit… even if he doesn't complete the ceremony within 50 attempts, it's almost guaranteed that he'll become the next God of Creation…"

The audience was at a loss for words.

Fifteen years later, with exactly 10 attempts left, Eternal Blacksmith only needed 4 more treasures to complete the ceremony and become the next God of Creation.

After another fiteetn years, Eternal Blacksmith had three attempts left, and he only needed one more treasure to have 25 Celestial-grade treasures crafted.

Exactly two and a half years later, Eternal Blacksmith successfully crafted his 25th Celestial-grade treasures on his 49th attempt, completeing the God of Creation Ceremony and becoming the next God of Creation.

The audience erupted with celebration.

However, the God of Creation Ceremony itself has yet to end, and Eternal Blacksmith continued to craft his next treasure.

Even though he only needed 25 Celestial-grade treasures to become the next God of Creation, he still had 51 attempts left to craft as many Celestial-grade treasures as possible, and anyone who challenges his title afterward will be required to beat that record for as long as Eternal Blacksmith lives.

After another hundred years, Eternal Blacksmith finished the God of Creation Ceremony with exactly 40 Celestial-grade treasures created.

"Heavens! He nearly doubled the requirement to become the God of Creation!"

"This is a new record! Not only did Eternal Blacksmith become the next God of Creation, he's also the most successful one!"

"Does this mean he's now the Eternal God of Creation, or just God of Creation?"

Once the God of Creation Ceremony ended, all of the blacksmiths there went to congratulate the newest God of Creation.

"Congratulations on your achievement, God of Creation." Yin Yang Blacksmith respectfully bowed to him.

"You've bested me, God of Creation. I, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith, admit defeat." Heaven and Earth Blacksmith lowered his head in a humble manner.

"Just you wait, God of Creation! I'll snatch that title away from you soon!" Fiery Heaven Blacksmith declared.

"Congratulations, God of Creation. I cannot wait to see what your future creations." Star Forging Blacksmith said.

"Let's have a drink later, God of Creation." Silver Flame Blacksmith said.

"It was quite the show, God of Creation. When I perform my ceremony, I'll make sure to give you an even better show." Tian Qiyuan said to him.

"Oh, really? I cannot wait." God of Creation smiled at him.

News of Eternal Blacksmith becoming the next God of Creation had spread throughout the Nine Heavens long before he even finished the ceremony, but the banquet to celebrate his new title did not happen until a year after the ceremony ended.

During the next several thousand years with the Eternal Blacksmith as the God of Creation, Tian Qiyuan rarely made any public appearances and even ceased selling his treasures. His absence led many to initially wonder if something had happened to him, but over time, people stopped talking about him, almost as if he no longer existed.

The other Divine Blacksmiths, excluding Heaven and Earth Blacksmith, attempted their second God of Creation Ceremony during this time.

Star Forging Blacksmith and Relentless Blacksmith barely managed to craft 25 Celestial-grade treasures during their ceremony, but neither of them came close to Eternal Blacksmith's record of 40, so they won't become the next God of Creation.

However, once Eternal Blacksmith retires as the God of Creation, the two of them may compete with each other to replace him.

Meanwhile, secluded in his own world, Tian Qiyuan quietly honed his smithing skills and increased his endurance over the years. Zi Xuan rarely visited him because she knew what he was doing and didn't want to disturb him.

In the blink of an eye, nine thousand years had passed since the Eternal Blacksmith became the God of Creation. Then, on an otherwise ordinary day, the Exalted Blacksmith reemerged, announcing with shocking news that he would be performing the God of Creation Ceremony.
