"With enough primordial spiritual energy, I can forge an Overgod artifact!" Zhou Tong stared at the water droplet in his palm.
This water droplet didn't contain much primordial spiritual energy; at most, he could extract three more strands. But if he wanted to forge this staff to the Overgod artifact level, he would need far more than three strands of primordial spiritual energy. Even three thousand strands might not be enough. He would need at least five thousand strands.
If he used up this primordial spiritual energy, he would have no more sources of primordial spiritual energy.
In addition, there was no way he would waste these three strands of primordial spiritual energy here, because Zhou Tong still wanted to develop a way to strengthen his body and soul with primordial spiritual energy.
"However, it seems as though this primordial spiritual energy is formed by fusing earth, wind, water, and fire Sovereign's Might …" Zhou Tong pondered for a moment, then withdrew a ball of wind-type Sovereign's Might from his interspatial ring. This ball of Sovereign's Might was the spoils of war he had obtained from killing the wind-type Bayeux, who had reached the Great Perfection.
"My spiritual energy will be devoured when I send it in. What if I use these four types of Sovereign's Might?" Zhou Tong's body flickered, and his water-type, fire-type, and earth-type Sovereign clones simultaneously appeared, taking up positions in three different directions.
At the same time, Zhou Tong's original body immediately activated wind-type Sovereign's Might, then transformed it into divine sense and sent it into the water droplet.
Indeed, the divine sense formed from wind-type Sovereign's Might was instantly devoured by the primordial spiritual energy within the water droplet.
At the same time, his water-type, fire-type, and earth-type Sovereign clones immediately sent their Sovereign's Might into the water droplet as well.
This water droplet was like a black hole. It didn't reject any Sovereign's Might that entered it, and it used its special devouring and assimilating abilities to quickly transform the four types of Sovereign's Might.
Slowly, Zhou Tong could sense that the gray energy within the water droplet had increased by a hint.
"It really did work?" Zhou Tong couldn't help but feel rather amazed. He hadn't expected that his soul mutation had gone in the wrong direction, resulting in him being unable to fuse primordial spiritual energy, but this water droplet he had unexpectedly acquired would actually be able to make up for his greatest flaw?
"Could it be Hong Meng's doing? Zhou Tong subconsciously thought to himself, "He thinks that my Soul Mutation is due to the law of destruction and not the wind element, and that I'm only a little bit away from the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire that he's looking forward to. So he's giving me this as compensation?"
Earth, wind, water, and fire types of Sovereign's Might weren't enough to form primordial spiritual energy. Rather, one had to fuse these four types of Sovereign's Might together. Zhou Tong was unable to fuse these four types of Sovereign's Might, but the primordial spiritual energy itself had the ability to assimilate and fuse them. He could make use of it.
It could be said that as long as there was a strand of grandmist spiritual energy, Zhou Tong could continuously synthesize new grandmist spiritual energy.
Of course, the foundation of all of this was the water droplet because only this special water droplet could be used as a medium to synthesize grandmist spiritual energy. If it was exposed casually, the grandmist spiritual energy would definitely assimilate too many "impurities", and then slowly be assimilated by the impurities, finally becoming a part of heaven and earth.
This was because this world had been created from grandmist spiritual energy to begin with.
"Oh, it's a bit slow. It seems I'll need a year before I can completely replenish a single strand of grandmist spiritual energy!" Zhou Tong swept the area with his gaze, then turned to look at the nearby violet-gold staff, which was still being nourished by the fused divine power and the primordial spiritual energy. The violet-gold staff was being nourished at the same pace as the primordial spiritual energy.
"Fine. I'll stay here and nourish the violet-gold staff for five thousand years. Hopefully, a second Overgod artifact will be born!"
"However, these two things are simple. Sitting here for five thousand years is a waste … in the future, I might need to recruit a Sovereign's Emissary. I'll make some preparations first!" With a flip of his hand, Zhou Tong withdrew a large number of Highgod artifacts and soul-protecting artifacts.
There were sabers, swords, axes, hammers, staffs, armor, and many other types of artifacts, and there were quite a few of them. As for soul-protecting artifacts, the only ones available were those rings which Zhou Tong had previously manufactured.
These artifacts quickly flew into the bodies of the various Sovereign clones to be nourished.
And then, Zhou Tong closed his eyes and began to work wholeheartedly. While fusing with the primordial spiritual energy, he also used the fused divine power and the primordial spiritual energy to nourish the violet-gold staff, while also spending a bit of time on nourishing the Sovereign artifacts.
Time passed, one day after another. Zhou Tong's Sovereign artifacts were constantly increasing in power, and they weren't too far away from becoming true Sovereign artifacts.
Generally speaking, Sovereigns would need ten thousand years or so to forge Sovereign artifacts. Only, during this period of time, there was no way the Sovereign could devote all of their time to forging.
Sovereigns didn't lack Sovereign artifacts; how could they possibly devote all of their time to forging Sovereign artifacts?
In truth, the reason why Sovereigns took ten thousand years to forge Sovereign artifacts was because Sovereigns would only occasionally use their Sovereign power to nourish them, or they would simply soak them in Sovereign power. How could this sort of forging speed compare to Zhou Tong's current, time-consuming, non-stop nourishment?
Based on his current speed, in at most three thousand years, he would be able to complete this batch of Sovereign artifacts.
Although forging Sovereign artifacts was fast, the process of fusing divine power and primordial spiritual energy to nourish the violet-gold staff was much slower.
As the fused divine power and primordial spiritual energy continued to nourish it, the violet-gold staff's power continued to increase. As it was nourished, the color of the violet-gold staff grew deeper and deeper, darker and darker. In addition, the aura within the staff, which was similar to that of an Overgod artifact, grew thicker and thicker, growing closer and closer to the true Overgod artifact within Zhou Tong's body.
Zhou Tong had predicted that it would take five thousand years to complete, which was two thousand years slower than the Sovereign artifacts.
However, despite this, Zhou Tong knew that once the violet-gold staff truly became an Overgod artifact, then in Zhou Tong's hands, it would most likely be even more powerful than the Overgod Battle Armor of Life.
The reason why Overgod artifacts only had the four elements of Fate, Death, Life, and Destruction was because these were the elements of the four Overgods.
But Zhou Tong was using his own fused divine power and primordial spiritual energy to nourish the violet-gold staff. In the future, once he succeeded in upgrading it to an Overgod artifact, it would definitely be an Overgod artifact that was most compatible with Zhou Tong himself. He would be able to completely unleash the full power of the Overgod artifact.
Time flowed on. In the blink of an eye, three thousand years had passed.
Zhou Tong's forging of that batch of Sovereign artifacts was successfully completed. At this time, Zhou Tong's earth, fire, and water Sovereign clones, in tandem with his original body, began to focus wholeheartedly on nourishing the violet-gold staff.
By now, the violet-gold staff, under the influence of Zhou Tong's divine power, had completely transformed into a violet-black color.
As for the 'idle' divine Destruction clone, it began to focus on analyzing the remaining portions of the Edicts of Destruction.
Time flew by as Linley trained. In the blink of an eye, another two thousand years had passed.
By now, five thousand years had passed since Zhou Tong had become a Sovereign.
At this time, the four Sovereign clones simultaneously merged back into Linley's original body. That droplet of water once more returned to Zhou Tong's soul realm, which was filled with that blurry, gray primordial spiritual energy.
At this moment, in front of Zhou Tong, there was only a staff that glowed with a pitch-black light. The black staff hadn't moved, but the space around it had already collapsed. From this, one could see how incomparably powerful it was.
Zhou Tong opened his eyes, and two rays of golden light fell upon the black staff. Instantly, the black staff's light was retracted, and it became simple and unadorned.
"In the future, this black staff shall be called 'Kiloton'!" Zhou Tong stretched his hand out to grab the black staff, revealing a hint of a smile.
In terms of compatibility between a Sovereign and an Overgod artifact, the Chief Sovereign of Fate, the Chief Sovereign of Destruction, or anyone else, none of them could compare to Zhou Tong. This was because this Kiloton Staff had been personally forged by Zhou Tong. Naturally, it was extremely compatible with him, and their minds were interlinked.
"Forging an Overgod artifact is neither hard nor hard. All you need is the materials. Let's see if divine spark essence will work!" With a flip of his hand, Zhou Tong's Skysplitter sword appeared in his palm …
