Rivertown’s humans most closely resembled the Epistians, so Han Wu arranged for them to settle near Epistian City. The dwarves’ territory lay nearby as well. The humans shared a strong bond with the dwarves and possessed exceptional learning abilities.
Han Wu already anticipated the day that they would forge weapons comparable to the Black Arrows.
The Fla Demons were a powerful race. Within the Divine Civilization’s ranking system, they ranked as Unique life forms. Because they must live in places filled with lava, Han Wu decided to create new land for them to inhabit.
He spent a lot of Divine Points to purchase volcano terrain for his divine realm. At its edge, he allocated a section and arranged a circle of volcanoes. He then used the Fire Ring to make the volcanoes erupt all at once. Streams of molten rock poured from their peaks, converging in the center to form a blazing caldera.
The Fla Demons could temporarily settle there. Additionally, he would periodically use the Fire Ring as a conduit to trigger smaller eruptions to hasten the caldera’s expansion. In ti, he expected it to grow into a territory much larger than the lava caverns that the Fla Demons had once called ho.
Overjoyed, the Fla Demons reveled in their new habitat. They had assud that this was the full extent of their reward, but they soon discovered otherwise. To welco them into his divine realm Han Wu generously gifted them millions of Fire Crystals. Each crystal brimd with pure Fire Energy that could enhance the intensity and purity of their flas.
As the first to submit to Han Wu, the Fla Demon King received the largest share. It absorbed nurous crystals and advanced its rank within just three realm-days. Now it could control blue flas that burned hotter than regular flas. Its destructive power increased several hundredfold, enough to defeat even a Sage life form within the caldera.
Satisfied with his new champion’s strength, Han Wu left the demons to their own affairs and retrieved the Transmutation Golem’s core, which had been heavily damaged by Smog’s barbaric extraction. Reconstructing the Transmutation Golem was no longer possible.
Without breaking its outer shell, Han Wu carefully removed the Magic Ring hidden within and called it the Transmutation Ring. Unlike the Fire Ring, this one possessed deeper and more complex powers. It could effortlessly break any object down to its basic elents, then recombine them to create a new item.
After extensive research, Han Wu discovered that the Transmutation Ring’s power lay in its ability to disassemble and rge. The concept reminded him of the Refinery in his divine realm and his Divine Power: rge.
Curious to test their compatibility, he attempted to use rge, the Magic Ring, and Refinery together. In three realm-months, he succeeded in upgrading the Refinery. The new structure functioned like a complex machine, capable of disassembling and reassembling any item placed inside.
Han Wu nad it the Fabricator. All he needed to do was insert a blueprint and the corresponding raw materials, and the Fabricator would continuously produce the item as specified. It sounded simple enough, but its practicality was imnse.
Han Wu purchased a wide variety of God equipnt blueprints. The materials were inexpensive, but crafting them by hand required enormous effort. With the Fabricator, he could eliminate the entire labor process.
Once he confird a blueprint and loaded its materials to the Fabricator, he waited patiently. Before long, it produced a complete piece of God equipnt. It lacked a forge master’s exquisite touch, but its quality was still high.
More importantly, it was profitable. He had spent three Divine Essence to purchase the blueprint and ten more to purchase enough materials to produce twenty items. Each completed product could sell for one Divine Essence.
His first batch earned him seven Divine Essence in profit. The return on investnt for later batches could be as high as 100%, and he could already envision the torrent of Divine Essence flowing into his account.
Still, these were only lower-ranking pieces of God equipnt. If he could mass-produce interdiate or high-ranking ones, his profits would skyrocket. It was only a matter of ti before he beca a billionaire. All he needed to do was keep buying and selling, and he would beco as rich as a God King.
It was a nice thought, but he wasn’t ready to rest. He had to continue expanding and improving the rest of his divine realm.
Even though the Transmutation Golem’s core wasn’t functional anymore, it still held research value. The various equations engraved outside and inside it were still useful. The Middle Realm was a fallen civilization that had lost much of its technology. If Han Wu could decipher even part of its mysteries, he could elevate the entire Divine Civilization. With that goal in mind, Han Wu entrusted the core to the Epistians for study.
Ten realm-months passed. After millions of experints, the Epistian think tank finally deciphered the mystery of one of the equations on the core’s outer shell. It described how to animate lifeless matter, granting movent to inanimate objects. It was the fundantal equation for forging golems.
Intrigued, Han Wu commanded the Epistians to test the concept and supplied abundant resources for their research.
In ti, the collaboration between the Epistians, Scorching Dwarves, and the humans produced a new type of golem called the Suicidal Spider. It was made from simple materials and could lock onto moving targets. Each Suicidal Spider could carry either a Fire or Lightning Crystal, which they could detonate the mont it reached its mark.
A Suicidal Spider wasn’t as strong as a detonating locust, but it had clear advantages. As an inanimate object, it lacked the aura of a living life form and was easy to overlook. Most intelligent life forms instinctively recognized living creatures as threats, yet assud inanimate objects posed no danger unless they touched them. That assumption made the Suicidal Spiders the perfect weapon against targets like them.
The Suicidal Spiders’ birth carried great significance. Han Wu’s divine realm would soon gain a new race, the golems, which would beco essential to its expansion. Hence, he decided to allocate even more resources to the Epistians so that they could continue their research and create new types of golems.
While Han Wu was busy developing his divine realm, a different kind of battle unfolded at Imperial College.
After getting kicked out of the ga, Huang Shengjun imdiately leaked news that Han Wu possessed a Magic Ring.
Naturally, the revelation of such a precious treasure spread quickly and drew the attention of many powerful beings, especially once they learned it could control fire. Many Gods and Major Gods who specialized in fire-based attacks personally visited Imperial College to verify the rumors’ authenticity.
