Death… And Me

Chapter 1751 I can finish it later

　　Luan found it strange, though. "Isn\'t that weird? Divine level equipment is forged with Space Power to start with. In a certain way, they already have Space Power inside them. That\'s why they\'re much stronger than Golden Peak-level equipment. The Void Tempering Realm beings can pour their Space Powers inside them, and they\'ll accept it instead of getting damaged. Isn\'t that the same thing?"

　　"I see..." Luan understood. But at the same time, a question popped up in his mind. "Wait! If you do that, doesn\'t that mean you have to give up other elements? After all, uncle Rean\'s equipment can only absorb one type of element when we pour Divine Energy inside."

　　Rean agreed with Luan, saying, "True. That\'s why I need to test which one is better. Is it better to have my weapon gather Dark Element and use my Divine Energy to pour Space Power inside? Or is it better to have my weapon gather Space Powers and use my own abilities to pour Dark Element into it?"

　　"Is it possible to have both?" Luan couldn\'t help but ask. "After all, until now, I don\'t think anyone has thought about Space Powers from the perspective of an element. Perhaps because of their differences, uncle Rean can separate both abilities inside the same equipment."

　　Rean nodded again. "True, but then we come across a problem. It\'s not like I haven\'t tried to create a piece of equipment that can gather two elements at once before. However, those elements simply couldn\'t stay together. A weapon is still a weapon. It doesn\'t have a mind of its own. When we cultivators use two elements to achieve a result, we know how to manipulate them to accomplish that. A weapon can\'t do such a thing, which is why all my attempts to make a Dual Element Gathering weapon failed miserably until I finally gave up. The elements clashed against each other, ultimately making the equipment useless. Sometimes the equipment would simply break apart due to the stress."

　　"Hmm..." Luan still thought it was worth a shot. "But then again, even if Space Power is an element, I believe it can co-exist with other elements."

　　"Why is that?" Rean asked back.

　　Luan was indeed much better at Space Powers as he could answer it straight away. "Simple. It doesn\'t matter what elements exist in the world. Space will always be there with them. First of all, without space, there\'s no place for elements to exist. Do you get it, uncle Rean?"

　　Rean\'s eyes lit up after hearing that. "In other words, space is naturally compatible with all elements in the world, even if it\'s an element itself!"

　　Luan nodded. "Yep. How about it, uncle Rean? Why don\'t you at least give it a shot? You\'re already very close to your breakthrough to becoming a Divine-level blacksmith anyway."

　　Rean was filled with confidence when he heard that. "Roan really brought you up well! Alright, I\'ll give it a try."

　　During the next few days, Rean and Luan spent their time in the blacksmith workshop of the Dimensional Realm. It went without saying that the first step was to create a piece of equipment capable of gathering Space Power. If Rean couldn\'t even achieve that, then there was no need to talk about a piece of equipment that could gather both space and another element.

　　*Tssssss...*

　　Rean finally finished his first prototype, forging a small blade. It wasn\'t big enough to even make a dagger. However, as Rean didn\'t want to spend too much, he worked on small things first. "Alright, time to find out if it worked."

　　Soon after, Rean poured his Divine Energy inside the small blade. It began to tremble a little, showing that its material level wasn\'t good enough for the strength Rean was using. Nevertheless, all Rean had to know was whether it could gather Space Power on its own or not.

　　"It worked!" The first one to speak was Luan. Before even Rean could tell it, Luan\'s eyes had already captured the Space Powers being drawn to the blade.

　　Sure enough, Rean was also able to see it as the space around the blade itself seemed to contract inwards. 

　　*Crack, crack, crack... shatter!*

　　Unfortunately, as it was only a Golden Peak-level blade, it broke a few seconds later, not being able to resist the pressure of the Space Powers.

　　Of course, Rean and Luan were ecstatic. After all, not only did that mean that Rean had succeeded in becoming a Divine Low-level blacksmith, the blade truly gathered Space Powers.

　　"Hahaha!" Rean laughed with glee as he cleaned his hands from the dust that the blade had become. "The first step is concluded! I can create Divine Low-level equipment!"

　　Luan was happy to see that as well. "Come on, Uncle Rean! Try to make a blade that can gather both an element and Space Power at the same time!"

　　Rean smiled as he brought out a vial of blood. "Hehe, Half True Dragon Blood! From what Govin said, it should increase the strength of equipment by a lot while maintaining its level. It\'s a good thing since I can\'t hold a sword above the Divine Low-level due to my cultivation."

　　However, he quickly put the vial away. "But first, it\'s time to try to forge a dual element weapon first. Luan, you stay here and hel-"

　　However, it was then that Rean received a message from Sister Orb.

　　[Kentucky and Celis are back. Luina wants to leave straight away as the spatial gate won\'t stay open for long.]

　　Rean sighed in response after hearing that. "Well, I can finish it later."
