"call……"
In this small world, Lu Tao stretched, twisted his neck, and took a deep breath to relieve his fatigue from more than three hundred days.
For a full ten days, Lu Tao did not go into seclusion to cultivate, but instead focused on making plans to ensure that no problems would arise.
Ten days in the outside world is roughly equivalent to a year in the smaller world.
Long periods of prayer and preparation...
Even though Lu Tao was a perfected Divine Lord, he still felt somewhat exhausted.
Fortunately, everything is ready.
"Lu Tao, all of the Nether Tigers have advanced to the half-step God Emperor level."
Just as Lu Tao finished making arrangements, he received a message from Sect Leader Luo. From her tone, it was clear that she was very worried.
Even with all his faith in Lu Tao and confidence in the Dragon Transformation Artifact, Sect Master Luo couldn't help but worry when facing more than twenty half-step Divine Emperors, and his heart was far from at peace.
In particular, she learned from Lu Tao that the Alliance of Races would take action against the humans in the wasteland.
The number of humans in the desolate region is countless, at least exceeding hundreds of millions.
Currently, Lu Tao has only taken over the human race from more than two hundred states, and there are still more than four hundred states' human races that he has not taken over.
This means that if the alliance of races were to attack the human race, more than 70% of the human race in the entire wasteland would be annihilated.
Seventy percent of the population are people...
Master Luo didn't know how big the number was, but it must have exceeded hundreds of millions.
The thought that these humans might be found and slaughtered by the alliance of races sent chills down not only to Sect Master Luo, but also to the Human Emperor and Sect Master Nie.
Although the strongest humans were all around these three, there must have been countless geniuses and prodigies among them.
If they grow up normally, they will at least be able to become a God-King or God-Lord, or at least a Martial God or Heavenly God.
But now... it seems they can only watch helplessly as they die.
This made the three of them feel very uncomfortable.
Even though they trusted Lu Tao completely, the thought that so many humans would soon be captured or even slaughtered by the other races made them feel resentful towards him.
If Lu Tao had instructed them to act sooner and kill Minghu, Cangyuan, and Cui Louzhu, with their combined strength and the Dragon Transformation Artifact, they could have easily eliminated Ao Chen, Ao Yu, and the others before they advanced to the half-step God Emperor level.
in this way.
After that, the wilderness was ruled by the human race, and no other race could threaten them.
As for Tianyu Pavilion, they subconsciously ignored it. Tianyu Pavilion may be strong, but it would not participate in these struggles.
There is absolutely no need to worry about its existence.
"Okay, I understand!"
In the Lesser Thousand Worlds, after hearing Sect Master Luo's words, Lu Tao felt no worry whatsoever, but rather some excitement. Immediately, with a thought, he sent his divine sense directly to his clone's cave.
then.
Lu Tao handed the various items to his clone, gave him some instructions, and then returned to the Lesser Thousand Worlds.
After obtaining the numerous items, the clone took them out and handed them to the three sect leaders, saying, "The three of you, please refine these divine artifacts of the rules first."
"A divine artifact imbued with rules?"
The three men accepted the dozens of artifacts with puzzled expressions. They wanted to say that the divine artifacts would be of no help to them, but thinking of the dragon-transforming artifacts they had received earlier, they could only keep their doubts to themselves.
He subconsciously took the artifact of rules and began to refine it.
result!
After refining it, their pupils contracted sharply.
Sect Master Nie looked at Lu Tao in shock, his voice trembling, "This... how is this possible? It's just a Divine Lord artifact, why are its rules so terrifying?"
"Wait, let me think. It's just a high-grade divine artifact, but the poison rules within it are comparable to perfection? I can't understand it."
"I'm also a bit confused. Aren't only top-grade divine king artifacts capable of containing perfect rules? How did this divine lord artifact manage to do that?"
All three of them were a little dazed.
They were initially somewhat disappointed when they heard about the Ruler God Artifact.
after all.
Items governed by rules are often used to forge artifacts for God-Kings, but Lu Tao only forged it into an artifact for God-Lords. Anyone would feel it was a pity and a waste.
It was precisely because Lu Tao had auctioned off more than ten True Dragon Bloodlines and possessed a considerable number of items governed by rules that they refrained from offering any advice, not wanting to embarrass him.
The result was far beyond their expectations.
Just like the Dragon Transformation Artifact, although it is also only a high-grade Divine Lord artifact, its power has reached or even surpassed that of a Divine King artifact.
That's incredible.
This shattered their previous preconceived notions.
Objects governed by rules, when used to forge artifacts of divine kings, can maximize the power of those rules, even enhancing it, thereby bringing it closer to or reaching the level of perfect rules.
However, if an accident occurs during the forging process, causing the level of the crafted artifact to drop and preventing it from becoming a God-King artifact, the power of the rules is very likely to weaken or even be destroyed.
However, the situation was quite the opposite for Lu Tao.
Not only was the power of the rules not affected at all after the artifact's level was lowered, but it was even more exaggerated than the successfully crafted divine king artifact.
This is really unusual.
This was also difficult for the three dignified half-step God Emperors to understand.
Lu Tao smiled without saying a word.
He naturally wouldn't answer these questions. Even though he trusted these three people quite a bit, he couldn't possibly reveal his own secrets to them.
and.
Even with the artifacts of rules and dragon transformation that he has taken out now, Lu Tao will consider taking them back in the future. Of course, Lu Tao is not a heartless person, and he will naturally compensate the three of them afterwards.
A Nascent Soul Pill King and a True Dragon Bloodline should be enough compensation, right?
Seeing that Lu Tao had no intention of explaining, the three of them were not angry; on the contrary, they were quite pleased.
Sect Master Luo stroked the divine artifact of rules in his hand, then looked at the other dozens of divine artifacts of rules before him, and said excitedly, "If all these divine artifacts of rules are this terrifying, then we..."
She paused, suppressing her excitement, and said slowly, "If each of us possesses dozens of rule-based divine artifacts, and they are all at perfection, then our strength will be even more terrifying than that of the previous Cat King!"
Sect Master Nie echoed in a trembling voice, "Indeed, one rule artifact is equivalent to perfecting one rule in our domain. These dozens of artifacts... are dozens of rules. Even the Cat Emperor, who is strong, only has a dozen or so rules. Moreover, it is only at the mid-stage of the God King realm, while we are all half-step God Emperors."
"Dozens of rules... Hmph, I wonder if such a person has ever appeared in the Desolate Region. Just one person comprehended dozens of rules. Even if there were, there probably wouldn't be many."
The Human Emperor's chest heaved violently, showing that even with his knowledge, he was shocked by Lu Tao's feat. "Each of us has dozens of rule artifacts. Even if the Alliance of Races and the Nether Tiger join forces, we can easily kill them."
Sect Leader Nie also laughed, "So Sect Leader Lu was prepared all along."
Sect Leader Nie looked at Lu Tao. Had he known Lu Tao had made such preparations, why would he have worried so much?
The Dragon Transformation Artifacts can completely resist attacks based on rules, while these rule-based artifacts allow them to attack without restraint. Let alone three people, even one person would dare to challenge them.
With the help of these powerful rules, they can be said to be completely invincible.
Lu Tao's clone shook his head solemnly and said, "The three of you must not be careless. This time, we are not only dealing with these demons, but also... Tianyu Pavilion!"
"Alas... Why does the Heavenly Pavilion choose to be an enemy of our human race?"
The three emperors were all puzzled.
They had asked Lu Tao this question before, but Lu Tao did not answer it.
Lu Tao shook his head and said, "Tianyu Pavilion is here to kill me!"
Regarding this matter, Lu Tao briefly explained Tianyu Pavilion's actions. In truth, even he himself was not very clear about Tianyu Pavilion's actions and could not tell them more.
Upon hearing this, the three could only look at each other in bewilderment and choose to remain silent.
This sounds like they're being implicated by Lu Tao, just like when the human race was attacked by the alliance of races. But in reality, they all know that this can't be blamed on Lu Tao.
The Emperor said with a solemn expression, "If we include the Heavenly Pavilion, it's hard to say who is stronger."
"Well, the Tianyu Pavilion has a long history, and many of the legendary artifacts of the Desolate Region are in their hands. Although we have these dozens of legendary artifacts, whether we can kill them is another matter."
Master Luo nodded solemnly.
Lu Tao then took the opportunity to ask, "Speaking of which, I've always been curious about this. Why don't Ao Chen and the others possess any powerful artifacts that govern the rules?"
Previously, Lu Tao and his companions had witnessed the battle between the various races and the Cat King.
As a result, the Cat Emperor, with more than ten perfect rules, caused heavy losses to all races, even killing a perfect God King. During this period, none of the races used a single God King artifact that had reached the perfect rules.
"Human Emperor, you should explain it."
The other two looked at the Human Emperor. The human race has a long history, and the Human Emperor knows more about things.
The Human Emperor nodded and explained, "The Desolate Region is not only small, but also poor. There seem to be many items governed by rules, but very few can be crafted into perfect rule-based divine artifacts. Moreover, over countless years of racial changes, such rule-based divine artifacts have all been controlled by the Heavenly Universe Pavilion..."
In the explanation of the Human Emperor.
Over the countless years, the desolate region has naturally produced many divine artifacts based on rules. However, due to the changes in other races and forces over the years, those powerful divine artifacts eventually fell into the hands of the Tianyu Pavilion.
After that, it never came out again.
However, powerful clans like the True Dragon Clan, the Xuan Turtle Clan, and the Nether Tiger Clan generally do not possess any particularly powerful artifacts based on rules.
For example, they don't have any divine artifacts like the one Lu Tao has, which have reached the perfection of rules.
It's really... To forge this kind of divine artifact, you need more than just items made of rules; you also need various high-level materials.
Gathering enough materials to craft a single artifact of the rules is no easy feat.
Not only is it expensive, but whether it can actually be refined is also another matter.
In the present desolate region, only the Lava Clan is confident in forging such a divine artifact, but even with the combined strength of the entire clan, they cannot completely guarantee success in forging it.
This time, the two top-tier divine artifacts forged by the Lava Clan were only made possible with the help of other master craftsmen.
It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to forge such a divine artifact.
Failure would be a huge blow not only to the Lava Clan, but also to the race that produced the materials.
Therefore.
Few races in the wasteland choose to do this.
The stronger races have no need to do this, since they are already powerful and there is nothing in the wilderness that can threaten them.
Races that are relatively weaker would not dare to do so.
Whether the refining is successful or not, it is easy to attract the attention of other races and bring disaster upon one's own race.
This is the experience accumulated by the various races of the desolate region over countless years.
Rather than using objects of the rules to forge top-tier artifacts of the rules, which would attract the covetousness of other races, it would be better to use objects of the rules for the god-kings within the race to study and comprehend the rules.
Other races can steal top-tier rule artifacts, but rules that one comprehends through one's own abilities cannot be stolen, right?
This is true strength.
certainly.
While they dare not forge top-tier rule-based artifacts, or rather, fear failing to forge them, the various races of the desolate region still possess quite a few relatively weaker rule-based artifacts.
However, those divine artifacts were of little help to Ao Chen, the Demon Bull, the Human Emperor, or even to the Cat Emperor and Shi Shu.
Naturally, it's not used much anymore.
This is also why Lu Tao didn't see many powerful figures from the Desolate Region using artifacts based on rules during his interactions with them.
"I see!"
Lu Tao suddenly realized and pondered, "So, Tianyu Pavilion does have quite a few top-tier rule artifacts."
"That's right, they must have quite a few, but we don't know the exact number..." The Emperor was still somewhat worried.
Sect Master Luo also asked, "Lu Tao, after we refine these rule-based artifacts, can we stop the Heavenly Universe Pavilion?"
Lu Tao said confidently, "Don't worry, it's fine."
Since he orchestrated his plans through the idol of the deity, he was naturally sure that nothing would go wrong.
Although Lu Tao did not know how many top-tier rule artifacts Tianyu Pavilion possessed beforehand, he believed that they were definitely not as numerous as those he had.
Ninety-nine percent of the rule-based artifacts are God-King artifacts.
Forging a divine artifact is difficult enough, let alone forging the best divine artifact, which is even more difficult.
Even if the desolate region has accumulated countless years of power, there shouldn't be more than a thousand such top-tier rule artifacts, right?
You need to know.
Lu Tao has refined all the objects of the rules into divine artifacts of the rules.
Each one is basically perfect.
Don't be fooled by how easily he crafted these artifacts of rules; for other living beings, it would be an incredibly difficult task.
In a sense, forging such a rule-based divine artifact is even more difficult than cultivating to the peak of God King or half-step God Emperor.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, Lu Tao still made a wish to the statue of the deity.
Then he felt even more at ease.
"good!"
The three sect leaders nodded, and then entered the small world one after another. Through time acceleration, they each completed the refinement of dozens of rule artifacts.
An hour later, the three reappeared in the room.
The Human Emperor laughed and said, "With these dozens of rule artifacts, our chances are much greater. However, using these dozens of rule artifacts is also about our limit."
“That’s right. If there were any more, even if we were half-step Divine Emperors, we probably wouldn’t be able to sustain using them with our inner energy.” Sect Master Nie nodded in agreement.
"Wait, the limit..."
As they were talking, the three of them suddenly thought of something, exchanged glances, and saw a deep look of shock in each other's eyes. Then, they all turned their gazes to Lu Tao.
Sect Master Luo couldn't help but ask, "Lu Tao, is this a coincidence, or... did you calculate the limits of our ability to use rule-based artifacts?"
If it's a coincidence, then all three of them are like this, which is just too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
But if it's not a coincidence...
With Lu Tao's mere cultivation at the Divine Lord level, he was actually able to calculate the number of times they, as half-step Divine Emperors, used the perfect rules. That's terrifying!
All three of them stared intently at Lu Tao, their eyes filled with questions.
Lu Tao shook his head and laughed, "It's just a coincidence, don't overthink it."
"..."
Upon hearing this, all three remained silent and shook their heads.
The more Lu Tao said this, the more they felt it was not a coincidence, but something Lu Tao had planned long ago.
Considering the many things that happened after Lu Tao arrived in the desolate region, they vaguely guessed that Lu Tao might possess some kind of means to deduce many things.
Moreover, even a half-step God Emperor could not detect this kind of calculation.
With this in mind.
They inexplicably gained more confidence in what was to come.
No wonder Lu Tao didn't care at all about Minghu, Cangyuan, and others advancing to the half-step God Emperor level. It turns out he had already planned everything. It's just that we don't know exactly what his plan was.
but.
Now, none of that matters to the three of them anymore.
Since Lu Tao has such methods, all they need to do is choose to believe him.
