Reading the lines of glowing text that appeared on the [War God Skills] icon, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit strange.
Because these notifications didn't show the Soul Points required to comprehend the Skills.
"Can I learn these Skills?"
He tried asking.
A few more lines of glowing text appeared on the [War God Skills] icon to explain the situation:
[Soul Artifact crafting is a unique skill of humanity, so you can comprehend the above Skills]
[However, there is a prerequisite:]
[War God Skills has been upgraded once, currently displaying the corresponding Skills to you; if you want to learn the Skills of the Bygone Era humans, War God Skills will need to be upgraded again]
Reading this description, Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled the conversation he had with the War God UI.
[After you've upgraded War God Skills, the next time you want to upgrade it, you will be able to comprehend the power of humanity from the Bygone Era from the Desolate monsters]
"Next time I need to upgrade it? How do I upgrade it? "
[Thank you for 20 Soul Points. First of all, I can indeed upgrade it again. Secondly, as for the Soul Points required to upgrade War God Skills, the next upgrade will cost about 3 million Soul Points]
…
3 million Soul Points.
Gu Qing Shan looked at his remaining Soul Points.
I still have about 8 million left.
That's enough.
Not to mention, this is a necessary amount of Soul Points.
"Upgrade it now" Gu Qing Shan said.
He could only watch helplessly as his Soul Points shrunk to less than 5 million.
The [War God Skills] icon with a golden dagger on it suddenly lit up.
It gave off a blinding golden glow.
Not too long later.
The golden dagger on the icon grew a bit longer.
A notification appeared next to the icon, explaining: [I desire to grow longer]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the icon, then at the text, a bit speechless.
The previous upgrade. The icon moved a bit.
This time, the golden dagger on the icon grew a bit longer.
Hm …
For an icon …
This change … can be considered quite obvious …
"I noticed that aside from being able to move, you've also grown longer — – do you have any new abilities?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
A new notification popped up next to [War God Skills]:
[You need to continue helping me level up. Once the golden dagger on the icon has grown to a full length, the War God UI will activate a new ability]
[The new ability will only appear when the War God UI exists]
Gu Qing Shan was startled.
Yes, he remembered.
Below the War God UI, besides [War God Skills], [War God Title], [War God Quest], as well as the currently changing [Doomsday Chronicles], there were many other options that weren't opened.
But right now, the War God UI wasn't with Gu Qing Shan.
Therefore, there was no way to talk about new abilities.
Gu Qing Shan kept this matter in mind.
At this time, lines of glowing text appeared in the void.
[To comprehend the defensive Soul Artifact: Chaotic Elemental Bombardment Plate's creation method, it will cost 10 million Soul Points. As you are a human, the cost has been reduced to 100,000 Soul Points]
[To comprehend the offensive Soul Artifact: Void Cutter's creation method, it will cost 20 million Soul Points. As you are a human, the cost has been reduced to 200,000 Soul Points]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
This prompt explained a problem.
Humans weren't the only ones who could create and use Soul Artifacts.
But as humans, they had an unparalleled advantage when it came to creating Soul Artifacts.
Wait a minute …
Could the twin swords Heaven and Earth also be a type of Soul Artifact?
Gu Qing Shan began to recall the Earth sword's functions.
When he met that monster in the giant corpse's sealed space, the Earth sword took all of his Soul Points and killed that monster in one strike.
Using Soul Points was a prominent characteristic of Soul Artifacts.
Back in Triste's collection world, the Fiendess and all the Tianma instantly changed their attitudes for the sake of a single Soul Artifact.
And humans had a huge advantage when it came to creating Soul Artifacts.
In other words — —
The twin swords Heaven and Earth, could they also be Soul Artifacts?
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
If the twin swords Heaven and Earth were extremely powerful Abyssal Soul Artifacts, then the Soul Shrieker's actions made perfect sense.
With [War God Skills]'s standard, even a normal offensive Soul Artifact would require 20 million Soul Points to comprehend its creation method.
Humans only need 200,000 Soul Points to comprehend it.
Then, the forging of the twin swords Heaven and Earth must have been incredibly difficult, so much so that even the terrifying Abyssal monsters couldn't help but look for humans to do it for them.
Combined with what the old man said inside the Grand Tie Wei city wall, this might very well be the truth.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly understood.
Finally understood.
He stared at the glowing notification in front of him and sighed deeply.
"Comprehend it, I need to comprehend both offensive and defensive Soul Artifacts"
He said.
From the void of space, countless warm currents manifested out of nowhere, surrounded Gu Qing Shan like a hot spring, then flowed into his Thought Sea.
This was a completely uncharted territory.
As a human in both lives, Gu Qing Shan had never thought that something as ingenious as this could exist in this world.
Various new knowledge and methods of construction that he'd never seen before appeared one after another in his mind.
— — Soul Artifacts were powerful items created from the combination of World Origin power and living beings' Soul Points, possessing miraculous power far beyond normal items.
All the warm currents disappeared.
The last two lines of glowing text flickered:
[You've learned how to create the Chaotic Elemental Bombardment Plate]
[You've learned how to create the Void Cutter]
Under the faint light of the dark sky, Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, still immersed in absorbing this new knowledge.
"Using Soul Points to carve objects … interesting …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.
He opened his eyes, looked up at the dark sky, and asked:
"I want to know if there's a place in the Abyssal Jail specifically for crafting Soul Artifacts"
The round disk replied: [There is, the command department has a specialized workstation]
"Please take me there"
"Got it"
The round disk brought Gu Qing Shan towards another direction.
After flying for about half an hour, they arrived at an empty terrace.
As Gu Qing Shan took a look, he found that this was where he found the Soul Carving Knife.
The damaged Soul Carving Knife silently laid on top of a large square workstation, with various materials piled up around it.
[If you wish to craft a Soul Artifact, the command center can provide you with another Soul Carving Knife, but please note, this is the last Soul Carving Knife in good condition]
"In other words, I can't break it"
[Correct, Soul Carving Knives are the primary tool for crafting Soul Artifacts, due to the rarity of the materials used, the command center cannot repair a damaged Soul Carving Knife]
"I understand" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The large workstation opened up on both sides.
A Soul Carving Knife hovering in the void of space appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The reason why it was still intact after so many years was because it was sealed inside a static space.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Soul Carving Knife and couldn't help but shake his head.
He couldn't believe that humans were able to craft artifacts to such an extent in the Age of Old.
— — the Soul Carving Knife looked like a mechanical arm full of thin, long tentacles.
Among the densely packed tentacles, some were made of steel, some were made of flesh and blood, some were soft tubes made of unknown materials, some were sharp carving knives, some were curved rays of light, some were completely made of the five elements, and some were made of unknown materials.
Gu Qing Shan counted, there were a total of 967 tentacles on the mechanical arm.
Not a single one of them was made of the same material.
This was an extremely intricate instrument, delicate and hard to control.
When crafting a Soul Artifact, only experienced and skilled Soul Artificers would be able to smoothly control the Soul Carving Knife to create a Soul Artifact that was almost like a work of art.
Those Soul Artificers who weren't skilled enough could easily ruin all of the materials they were crafting, or even damage the Soul Carving Knife.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit anxious.
This was the last Soul Carving Knife in good condition.
— — -as well as the only hope to kill Magic Dragon.
He went through the Soul Artifact crafting method he obtained several times, then prepared all of the materials on the workbench. Only after everything was confirmed did he reach his hand out to touch the Soul Carving Knife.
As soon as his finger touched the Soul Carving Knife, the entire mechanical arm attached itself to Gu Qing Shan's arm.
He felt a bit numb.
This was the Soul Carving Knife assimilating with his body.
After assimilation, this mechanical arm full of tentacles would be able to move according to Gu Qing Shan's thoughts.
A few moments later.
The connection was successful.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and sent his thought to the Soul Carving Knife:
"Begin forging the Void Cutter"
"First step, fusing the materials"
191 tentacles extended from the Soul Carving Knife, lightly touched the various materials, and brought them in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Heat material # 75, melt it, mold it"
"Grind material # 31 into powder"
"Infuse Soul Points into material # 56, fuse it with material # 98"
Gu Qing Shan was fully focused as he issued one order after another in his mind.
…
Finally, his first creation was complete.
Offensive Soul Artifact, the Void Cutter.
Gu Qing Shan put the Soul Carving Knife on the table and picked up the first Soul Artifact he had crafted.
— — -this was a small knife about the size of his index finger.
Following the knowledge in his mind, Gu Qing Shan infused it with Soul Points and let go.
The Void Cutter silently hovered.
It silently hovered in the void of space behind Gu Qing Shan.
And now, it was time to test out this Soul Artifact's properties.
Gu Qing Shan randomly picked up a sword and swung it — — -
The Void Cutter gave off a warped fluctuation.
A few dozen meters away, Gu Qing Shan's afterimage appeared.
