Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 683 - 586: The Secret of the Source of the Cosmos

After waking up, Zhao Yi calmed his emotions, split the entire planet open, placed the forbidden weapon inside, and used the power of the Time Law to restore the planet to its original state.

"Through these battles, I’ve realized one thing: whether it’s the power of laws or weapons, I need new ones, preferably those carrying the power of laws."

Zhao Yi knows very well that the Time Law and the Law of Life are not invincible. In his mind, various spells are powerful, but the stronger they are, the more troublesome they are to cast. The more hand seals and incantations are required, the easier it is for spells to be disrupted when facing strong enemies.

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal was very sad and a bit jealous at this time. Zhao Yi’s words indicated he wanted something new, making the Jade Seal somewhat jealous.

Nevertheless, it gave Zhao Yi two suggestions: either use the Human Emperor Bell to travel to other universes to obtain more powerful weapons, just like the protagonist. The risk is that it’s easy to never return or make a wasted trip.

Another option is to visit the world where he bought the melting furnace, inquire with the best craftsman, and see if he can forge weapons that have an inherent law.

"Master, am I not enough for you?"

"Shut up! What kind of nonsense is this? Stop talking like that! What I want is a weapon; you’re a Divine Artifact, a magic treasure! Not the same!"

Listening to the sour words of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, Zhao Yi shuddered all over. This little guy was too cheesy, and the Jade Seal didn’t continue whining, mainly because Zhao Yi’s words made it very happy.

Yes, indeed, I’m a Divine Artifact, much higher than the level of weapons. Chopping people down isn’t something a noble Divine Artifact should do.

The master still cares for me!

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal concluded in its heart.

"Master, I love you!"

"Get lost!" The entire cosmos echoed with Zhao Yi’s shout of disdain.

Returning to the Tool World, Zhao Yi found out the residence of the strongest craftsman through inquiry, and the more he walked, the more familiar it felt.

"Master, have we been here before?"

"Seems like... we really have."

Zhao Yi was dumbfounded; he hadn’t expected the strongest craftsman to be the same white-haired old man he had previously tricked.

At this moment, the white-haired old man opened the door, preparing to haul something out, only to see Zhao Yi standing at a distance.

"You little rascal! You dare to come back! Give me my money back!" The white-haired old man flashed to Zhao Yi’s face, wrapped his arms around Zhao Yi’s neck, and wrapped his legs around Zhao Yi’s waist, a very awkward position.

"Sir, we’re both grown men here. Could you please come down first? Let’s talk nicely." Zhao Yi had a request, so he softened his tone significantly.

"No way! Unless you pay me!" The old man not only refused to come down but also kept rubbing against Zhao Yi, who endured his urge to vomit and directly took out the gold. The old man’s eyes instantly brightened, snatching the gold at once, jumping down from Zhao Yi, taking a puff of his cigarette, and disappearing into the house, shutting the door behind him.

And once again, Zhao Yi was left alone on the scene, looking puzzled.

Who are these people? What is going on?

"Hahaha! That kid, this time, is quite straightforward!" Before Zhao Yi could figure it out, the old man walked out of the house excitedly, only to be dodged by Zhao Yi as he tried to hug him again.

"Sir, let’s talk without cuddling. Would you like me to find you a dragon to hug?"

"You brat, stop badmouthing me here. I just went to verify the authenticity of the gold and found it’s real; that’s why I’m so happy. Now tell me, what do you want from me? I know you types, never coming without reason!"

The old man crossed his arms, looking at the sky with an expression of astuteness.

"Sir, I came here as a guest, after all. Can we talk inside? I heard you’re the best craftsman in the Tool World!"

Zhao Yi complimented, causing the old man to be overjoyed, leading Zhao Yi into the living room, where Zhao Yi discovered the old man had a remarkably high artistic taste, with every painting in the house being a masterpiece.

"How about that, all handpicked by me? See the one on top? That’s my favorite piece."

The old man poured tea for Zhao Yi while boasting about his beloved items.

After serving Zhao Yi tea, the old man introduced himself, revealing his real name as Bai Yigui, who was already a hundred and twenty years old and had a young apprentice under him.

"I’m here this time to have a weapon forged that inherently carries the power of laws. I wonder if you can make it, sir? The price is negotiable."

"That kind of thing can’t be made; other stuff is doable."

"Is it a problem with the price or materials? If there’s an issue, I can solve it." Zhao Yi unwillingly inquired about the reason.

"It’s not about the price. Whether a million or two million, you can afford it. I have the materials too, but it’s a law issue."

"I can inject my Time Law into the weapon."

Bai Yigui shook his head and asked Zhao Yi a question outside his knowledge reserve: "Do you know the origin of the cosmos?"

"Isn’t the cosmic origin just two forces interacting to create the universe?"

"I see you’re not much smarter than others, well, I won’t beat around the bush anymore!"

Through Bai Yigui’s explanation, Zhao Yi learned that the Law Cosmos has so many Law Realms because, in the Cosmic Origin’s place, there is a river with many strange fish. These fish will, when the universe experiences fluctuations, enter the cosmos and transform into Law Realms.

"These fish inherently carry the Power of Laws. If you catch one, I can forge a weapon with the Power of Laws onto it, and that’s the only way."

"Has anyone ever done that before, sir?"

"Yes, in the past three hundred years, at least thirty people have tried to catch those strange fish from the river, but not to forge weapons, rather to eat the fish and gain the Power of Laws themselves."

"What happened to them?" At some point, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal appeared and couldn’t help but insert itself into the conversation.

"The result is that all of them died in the river. Whether their souls were scattered or something else, that remains unknown!"

At this moment, Bai Yigui picked up his teacup, looking at Zhao Yi with eyes full of provocation.

Observing Zhao Yi’s face turn grave, sinking into thought.

"If you’re afraid, you could seek weapons in other universes. That would be simpler. With your strength, it’s not difficult, though there are downsides."

Bai Yigui’s words pulled Zhao Yi back from his thoughts. Zhao Yi hadn’t considered going to other universes, but regarding the weapons, he still wanted to hear more, as the protagonist’s weapon came from another universe.

"Sir, what are the downsides you mentioned?"

Zhao Yi leaned over with a smile, while the other party opportunistically reached out for money, and Zhao Yi tossed the gold without hesitation.

"There’s an old saying, ’A place nurtures its people,’ and in truth, weapons are similar. Even if you conquer them in other universes, they’ll still not adapt well in our place, and the weapon’s heart spirit can waver; in short, they can easily be swayed by others."

Bai Yigui crossed his legs, putting the gold into his bag.

And this remark completely awakened Zhao Yi’s interest.
