Beside them, Jick and Celie looked at their teacher and grandfather with some unfamiliarity.

Why did this old man who was worthy of respect suddenly become a little unfamiliar at this moment?

His Majesty had only expressed his opinion. Why did their teacher/grandfather suddenly seem to have been provoked and become extreme?

Zhou Zhou smiled and said.

"Your Excellency, don't be angry, this Emperor has yet to finish my sentence."

"Your Excellency, do you feel that you're not as concentrated as before when forging divine artifacts recently?"

"Do you feel that the current you is very different from the previous you?"

"Do you feel that in some aspects, the current you is even inferior to the previous you?"

"Do you feel that you're improving less frequently than when you were weak? Do you even feel that you're more mediocre than before?"

Orofa couldn't help but widen his eyes when Zhou Manage started talking.

The more Zhou Manage spoke, the more shocked "He" became. When "He" reached the end, "He" fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Manage smiled and said, "Your Excellency seems to have noticed it."

"You have the precious wealth, status, power, and fame that countless life forms dream of. In the eyes of other living beings, you are already standing at the end of their dreams. However, it is precisely because of these things that you have begun to fall into ease. To put it bluntly, you have already been dragged down by this wealth and are no longer as 'pure' as before."

"Pureness might not be important to other things, but it's very important to forging skills!"

"In fact, if you want to reach the peak of your skills, pure success is one of the most important determinants of your skills!"

"Your Excellency Orofa, you have the talent of a Master God-Tier. In fact, you already have the admission ticket to the door of the Creator of Artifacts."

"However, if you're too attached to the flowers and plants on the road, the admission ticket might expire and be invalid."

Orofa opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhou Zhou in a daze.

At this moment, Zhou Zhou in "His" eyes seemed to have become the figure of "His" teacher.

The words of that time seemed to resound in "His" ears again.

[Disciple.]

[Put it down.]

[What you care about has become a shackle to imprison you.]

Orofa originally thought that his teacher was saying that "He" was too concerned about pursuing the Creator of Artifacts and had neglected whether his talent was enough to pursue this dream.From the looks of it, "His" teacher probably didn't mean that at all. It was just like what Your Excellency, the Common People's Regal, had said. What "He" cared about was the status, power, fame, identity, and resources "He" had in the Sun Divine Court…

These things had made "Him" who "He" was today and also made "He" feel at ease and lazy, allowing these things to imprison "Him."

After a long silence, Orofa smiled bitterly and said,

"How could I not know about these things? However, knowing is one thing, being able to walk out of it is another."

"Do I have to give up everything I have in front of me and only continue to pursue the Creator of Artifacts?"

Zhou Manage said.

"That depends on Your Excellency Orofa's choice. Besides, you don't have to give up everything."

"In addition, This Emperor can remind you that if you really become the Creator of Artifacts, you will only have much more than what you have now."

"If you're troubled by the difficulties and don't become the Creator of Artifacts, you're actually still a True God-Tier divine artifact forger. You can actually get back what you lost."

"Let's see if Your Excellency dares to make this choice."

When Orofa heard this, a conflicted expression immediately appeared on his face.

Zhou Manage looked at "Him" for a long time without making a decision. He finally revealed his trump card and his ultimate goal for saying so much.

"Your Excellency Orofa, join This Emperor's Blazing Sun Empire."

"If Your Excellency Orofa is willing to join This Emperor's Blazing Sun Empire, This Emperor guarantees that you will become the Creator of Artifacts in the future!" Zhou Manage said.

"… Are you serious, Your Excellency?!"

Orofa was stunned for a moment before saying in disbelief.

Even the legendary Supreme God Realm might not guarantee that a True God-Tier divine artifact forger could turn into a Creator of Artifacts in the myriad worlds.

That was because Master God-Tiers were all Gods who had walked their own nomological path. Every Master God-Tier's nomological path was unique. Hence, it was very difficult for True Gods to turn into Master Gods with the help of other God Spirits.

He could only rely on himself on this path!

Therefore, "He" found Zhou Manage's words unbelievable.

Could this Common People's Regal be able to do this?

However, judging from how the Supreme Will favored this Lord, it did seem possible…

"His" heart immediately stirred upon thinking of this.

"This Emperor's words are absolutely true."

Zhou Manage smiled.

What a joke."He" had already promised the War Master God to help them advance to the Supreme God Realm in the future.

"He" had already agreed to this ridiculous request. Why would "He" be afraid of a request from a Creator of Artifacts who had advanced to the level of a Master God-Tier?

He could just find a Master God-Tier Creator of Artifacts and kill him. He could just give him the Book of The God Spirit.

"…Then I'm willing to join His Majesty's Blazing Sun Empire!"

After hearing Zhou Manage's words, Orofa thought for a long time before finally agreeing.

"He" couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief after making this decision. "He" felt like "He" had let go of something.

At this moment, Zhou Manage grinned and said, "There's no hurry. First, settle your matters in the Sun Divine Court before coming to This Emperor to take office."

"Oh yes."

"This is your reward."

Zhou Manage threw a world ring over.

After Orofa received it, his divine sense entered it and discovered that not only was there a complete set of True God-Tier Advance Grade divine artifacts, there were also a total of 100 sets of True God-Tier Divine Artifacts forging blueprints.

At this moment, even a True God-Tier divine artifact forger like Orofa, who came from a top Lord faction like the Sun Divine Court, was stunned.

Regardless of whether it was the six True God-Tier Divine Artifacts or the 100 forging blueprints of the True God-Tier Divine Artifacts, they were not a small sum to "Him".

He did not expect to receive such a generous gift as soon as he joined the Blazing Sun Empire.

The nervousness and uneasiness in Orofa's heart because he was about to leave the Sun Divine Court abruptly dissipated a lot.

Not only because of the True God-Tier Divine Artifacts and the forging blueprints, but also because of the strength and future potential of the Blazing Sun Empire.

"Thank you, Your Holiness." Orofa said respectfully.

Zhou Manage nodded.

Then, "They" chatted for a while before Orofa bade farewell and left.

"He" wanted to return to the Sun Divine Court and settle the procedures for "resignation".

"Your Majesty, will my instructor be alright?"

Jick could not help but worry.

Celie, who was beside him, had the same worried expression.

"Don't worry, this Emperor has already calculated that 'He' will return safely." Zhou Manage smiled.

Jick and Celie heaved a sigh of relief.

…

At the same time, in the ruins of the original Elven Empire.

Zhou Zhou and the resurrected Nadia were standing in the ruins of the Imperial Palace.

In front of them was a tombstone that had just been built.

It was Elizariel's cenotaph.
