"I should also apologize to you."
"Ah, why?" Lucia asked, puzzled.
"Because a storm is coming, so I'm apologizing in advance," Ye Qiu said with a mischievous grin.
"Hmm, what kind of storm could I not withstand?"
You'll find out soon enough.
...
Indeed, Lucia quickly learned what a storm was.
But after the initial discomfort, Lucia quickly adapted and even took the initiative.
But in the end, Lucia begged for mercy.
...
The next day, early morning.
Lucia and Ye Qiu both got up very early.
At this moment, Lucia was radiant and full of energy.
She also deliberately changed her style to appear more mature.
In fact, from girlhood to womanhood, even without changing her clothing style, she can still exude a unique charm.
Stepping out of the room, Lucia saw Lu Shenbing and immediately said, "Father, from today onwards, you can teach Promi all sorts of knowledge that are not passed on to outsiders, because Promi is no longer an outsider."
"Yeah?"
Lu Shenbing looked at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Lucia and I are already together."
"Haha, good." Lu Shenbing laughed heartily: "Kid, from today onwards, you are my son-in-law, Lu Shenbing."
But before I teach you, there's one thing you must do.
"What is it?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Kneel before me and promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will protect her." Lu Shenbing's expression suddenly turned serious.
Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback, showing some resistance.
Lu Shenbing stood with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, "I heard some of your conversations last night. You are not a true member of the divine race, but an outsider."
"Um?"
Ye Qiu's expression tightened, and he immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Lucia's expression changed drastically: "Father, you...you won't hurt him, will you?"
"Don't worry," Lu Shenbing said. "There's a reason why I held back all night."
Lucia, after your mother gave birth to you, she died at the hands of the old patriarch, who was also the temple master. He did not allow outsiders to enter our divine race.
If I hadn't promised to build a light-speed weapon, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to protect you either. Now that the light-speed weapon has been built, I don't know if the Palace Master will keep his promise.
Just to be on the safe side, I hope that after Prome has learned something, he can take you away from here.
“Father, what about you?” Lucia asked hurriedly.
"Me?" Lu Shenbing laughed, "I'll be fine, don't worry. The Palace Master doesn't value me, but the armory can't do without me. He'll never kill me."
But my days are numbered, my lifespan is nearing its end, and while I am still lucid, I want to do something unconventional.
"Father..."
Lucia's eyes reddened.
"Uncle Lu, you look so young, why do you say your lifespan is coming to an end?" Ye Qiu couldn't help but ask.
Lu Shenbing said, "Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of the Light God Clan will not exceed fifty years, because our clan was cursed by the ancient emperor, and there is an indelible curse in our blood."
This kind of spell requires extremely expensive things to suppress in order to prolong life, but because I broke the rules and had offspring with humans from outside, the higher-ups no longer give me divine source to suppress the spell.
"It's a miracle I've lived to fifty-eight; that's enough."
"You created a weapon that travels at the speed of light, such a great achievement, and they still won't give you divine resources?" Ye Qiu frowned.
“I created a light-speed weapon, which can only atone for my sins and allow Lucia to live, but it cannot grant me divine power. Their calculations are very shrewd and clear, and they will not change. Even if they change their minds now and give me divine power, it will be useless, as the curse has already erupted on a large scale within my body.”
Lu Shenbing's tone was not disappointed, and his expression was very calm.
"Does Lucia also have a cursed symbol inside her?" Ye Qiu asked.
“Yes, but it’s very faint and won’t have a significant impact on her. If we had divine source, we could eradicate it in one go,” Lu Shenbing said.
“Alright, I will find the Divine Source. Uncle Lu, just hold on a little longer, and perhaps I can find a way to break the curse,” Ye Qiu said seriously.
“It’s useless,” Lu Shenbing said. “Divine sources are extremely rare, more than ten times more valuable than light-speed weapons. In the Palace Master’s Qiankun Ring, the Palace Master alone controls the fate of all the gods.”
Therefore, you cannot obtain the divine source from the Temple Master, nor should you attempt to do so. Lucia has few cursed symbols within her, which are insufficient to affect her life. You need not take the risk.”
"The old patriarch's cultivation has surpassed the Dao Spirit Realm, and he is probably one of the most powerful beings in the Heavenly Star Realm. You absolutely must not take the risk."
Lucia also gave a serious reminder.
"Okay, I understand." Ye Qiu's expression was solemn.
The information obtained from this trip to the Qilin Ancient Dynasty is already quite substantial.
They learned the location of the Light God Clan's stronghold, the clan's foundation, and the patriarch's specific realm.
But that's not enough!
To fight against the God of Light, one needs to possess equal power.
Or perhaps, we need to find a solution.
"Alright, Promi, there's no need for further words. You can read through all the books in my collection at home. After you've finished reading, I'll teach you the specific forging methods. I'm going to get busy now."
Lu Shenbing waved his hand, turned around and left.
"I thought we could start learning right away," Ye Qiu said with a wry smile.
"Are you stupid?" Lucia whispered. "Father's collection of books are all peerless divine books, just like encountering sacred methods on the path of cultivation. You must cherish them. Come on, I'll take you to Father's study."
Ye Qiu's eyes lit up: "Let's go take a look."
A moment later, Ye Qiu followed Lucia into the study, and Ye Qiu officially began learning the Technique of Forging.
For four consecutive days, Ye Qiu stayed indoors, immersing himself in various precious books, and memorized all the books in the Lu Shenbing collection.
Regardless of whether he understood it or not, Ye Qiu relied on his extraordinary memory to memorize it all at once.
It's no exaggeration to say that Ye Qiu's mind at this moment was a mobile library of cutting-edge technology.
On the fifth day, when Lu Shenbing learned that Ye Qiu had memorized all of his books, he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He then tested Ye Qiu with many questions before he was convinced that Ye Qiu had indeed memorized everything.
"You are a peerless genius, one in a billion." Lu Shenbing said excitedly, "If I had met you ten years earlier, I might have been able to work with you to find a true path that integrates the pinnacle of technology and cultivation."
Unfortunately, that's not possible now; there's no time left. If you're interested, you might be able to figure it out yourself later based on my experience, but I don't think it's necessary if you're already quite talented.
Because all paths lead to the same destination, ultimately aligning with the Way of Heaven, standing atop the Dao, and attaining imperial status, one should choose whichever path is most suitable; there's no need to deliberately pursue the fusion of technology and cultivation.
"Father, I told you he was amazing, hehe."
Lucia's pretty face flushed with excitement.
The next sentence from the Divine Weapon immediately broke Lucia's composure, and she burst into tears...
