Chapter 1531 God of Creation’s Ceremony(2)

1531 God of Creation’s Ceremony(2)

In order to complete the God of Creation Ceremony and become the next God of Creation, one must not only successfully 25 Celestial-grade treasures within 100 attempts but also craft 5 different types of weapons, so Heaven and Earth Blacksmith could not just craft his specialties.

For his first treasure, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith went for gauntlets, which he succeeded after spending almost two years on it.

His second crafted treasure also turned out to be gauntlets, but it took him 2 attempts to do so.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since Heaven and Earth Blacksmith started his God of Creation Ceremony, and he had just finished his second Celestial-grade treasure.

His third, fourth, and fifth treasures also turned out to be gauntlets, but that took him 5 attempts.

By this point, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith was twenty years into his God of Creation Ceremony, with five Celestial-grade treasures and seven failures.

With eighty-eighty attempts and twenty Celestial-grade treasures left to craft, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith was doing pretty well.

Since he had to craft five different types of treasures, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith was limited to five treasures of each type, so he had to craft a different type of treasure for his next one.

For his sixth creation, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith decided to craft the bow.

He continued crafting the bow until his eleventh Celestial- grade treasure.

Fifty years have passed since Heaven and Earth Blacksmith started his God of Creation Ceremony, and due to fatigue, it was taking him longer to craft each treasure.

Once the God of Creation Ceremony began, there would be no breaks until it was completed.

Most of the audience that were there on the first day had already left, but the audience remained pretty crowded with constant newcomers.

Zi Xuan left after five years, but Tian Qiyuan remained. He spent most of his time in meditation and only woke up every few years to see Heaven and Earth Blacksmith’s progress.

The only person there who watched from the beginning without taking any breaks was Eternal Blacksmith, who was determined to witness Heaven and Earth Blacksmith’s entire ceremony.

When Heaven and Earth Blacksmith finished his 15th Celestial- grade treasure, he’d used up 47 attempts.

While having 53 attempts to complete 10 Celestial-grade treasures may seem promising, one must consider the Heaven and Earth Blacksmith’s fatigue and the fact that he would be crafting treasures outside his area of expertise, which would significantly increase his failure rate.

Heaven and Earth Blacksmith started crafting spears for his 16th Celestial-grade treasure.

By the time he finished his 20th treasure, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith only had 16 attempts left to craft the last 5 treasures.

“Do you think he’ll do it?” Yin Yang Blacksmith questioned out loud as Heaven and Earth Blacksmith started his 21st treasure.

“Impossible.” Fiery Heaven Blacksmith responded without a hint of doubt in his voice.

“I also think it won’t happen, unfortunately.” Star Forging Blacksmith shook his head.

Thirty years later, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith crafted his 23rd Celestial-grade treasure. Unfortunately, he only had three more attempts for the last two treasures.

“Unless he performs a miracle, he’ll have to try again on his third and final God of Creation Ceremony.” Eternal Blacksmith sighed.

For his final attempts, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith’s movements were sluggish and full of mistakes. To him, it felt like there were mountains attached to his arms, and he was trying to hammer something underwater.

In the end, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith failed the God of Creation Ceremony with 23 Celestial-grade treasures, being only two away from the coveted God of Creation position.

Very few people actually believed Heaven and Earth Blacksmith would pass the ceremony, so nobody was surprised when he actually failed.

“Good try.” Eternal Blacksmith approached him after the ceremony ended.

“Haa… I thought I could do it, but alas…” Heaven and Earth Blacksmith sat beside the anvil, surrounded by a dispirited aura.

“Don’t sweat it, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith. You still have one more attempt.” Relentless Blacksmith patted him on the back.

“Indeed, but I won’t need a third attempt.” Eternal Blacksmith suddenly declared. “I will become the next God of Creation. If you want my title, you’ll have to challenge me for it.”

“I can’t wait.” Heaven and Earth Blacksmith chuckled bitterly.

Once Heaven and Earth Blacksmith’s God of Creation Ceremony was concluded, everyone returned to doing their own things.

As time passed and Eternal Blacksmith’s God of Creation Ceremony approached, Eternal Blacksmith suddenly declared that he would be delaying his ceremony for another thousand years.

Although his decision to delay his ceremony left many disappointed, nobody blamed him for wanting to take more time to prepare. Some believed that Heaven and Earth Blacksmith’s failure had influenced him to make this decision, but nobody could be certain.

In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed, and it was almost time for Eternal Blacksmith’s God of Creation Ceremony.

Eternal Blacksmith chose to perform his ceremony at the Grand Elder Summit as well, and all of the Divine Blacksmiths gathered once again on the day of Eternal Blacksmith’s ceremony.

“We are gathered once again for another God of Creation Ceremony. This time, Eternal Blacksmith will be the one partaking in the ceremony.” The Ancient Anvil Association declared.

“Thank you all for coming here today. First and foremost, I would like to apologize for delaying this. I unexpectedly experienced enlightenment right before it was time for my ceremony and wanted to take some more time solidifying my new foundation.” Eternal Blacksmith revealed the true reason for delaying his ceremony for a thousand years, which greatly surprised everyone.

“To think he would experience enlightenment at his level. I guess this is the end of our rivalry…” Heaven and Earth Blacksmith sighed after learning of this.

Eternal Blacksmith continued, “Not only will I complete the God of Creation Ceremony, but I will do so in less than 50 attempts!”

His bold declaration shocked everyone there.

“Heavens! In less than 50 attempts?! Just what kind of enlightenment did he experience?!” Silver Flame Blacksmith exclaimed in a shocked voice.

“Such a bold claim… I wonder what kind of performance he’ll show us…” Yin Yang Blacksmith muttered.

Without further elaborating on his declaration, Eternal Blacksmith went into meditation to prepare for the God of Creation Ceremony.
