Divine Artifact refers to an entity that not only possesses physical form and function, but also spirituality and life force.
Besides birds and beasts, flowers, plants and trees also have spirits. In some special places, under certain special conditions, such as mountains and rivers, even a stone can slowly develop its own consciousness, which is what is called spirituality.
Like weapons, weapons, after being nurtured by their owners over a long period, can gradually develop a spirit. This is a kind of so-called unity between man and weapon, where the owner's spirit influences the weapon.
But this Sea God Trident.
Gu Yuena could see it clearly.
It was not An Zhen's Qi that led to the spiritual connection of Sea God Trident.
Instead, it was Sea God Trident who heard An Zhen's words and "ran" over on his own.
It feels like it's about to take human form.
But Super Divine Artifact transformation is impossible.
Even with Dragon God's knowledge and experience, he had never heard of such a thing. On one hand, the spirit of a weapon is an influence of its master's spirit, an extension, so how could it become an independent entity? On the other hand, this is related to some kind of Universe rule.
Although Divine Artifact transformations are very rare, there are precedents.
Super Divine Artifact is just too powerful.
It's as if there's a set of rules that prevent them from truly developing their own intelligence.
But the Sea God Trident has now changed that.
"You…" Gu Yuena swallowed the words back.
Fire Dragon King has plenty of experience, so she didn't need to say anything. Although she was also a little confused about the matter.
...
Mimicry.
Let's also put a layer on the Sea God Trident.
"Does this count as the birth of a spirit?" An Zhen asked, gazing at the Sea God Trident floating beside him.
Like an innocent toddler.
They can understand basic speech.
They can even mobilize their own resources.
However, they cannot understand more complex things.
Take it to your teacher's wife for her to see.
Although there was another powerful figure in his family, that might expose his identity. He didn't want that to happen. Even if the other party considered the bigger picture and wouldn't cause too much trouble since he had two God Kings behind him, they would probably become strangers afterward. An Zhen didn't want to lose his wife.
An Zhen arrives at the Sun Moon Imperial Palace and enters the Temple of Life.
I bowed to the statue of the Goddess of Life.
"Master's wife," An Zhen called out to Dao.
One of Dao's gazes fell on An Zhen.
"Hmm?" A female voice, tinged with doubt, rang out.
The Goddess of Life saw the Sea God Trident circling around An Zhen like a puppy. With her abilities, she could clearly see that An Zhen was not using any method to control the Sea God Trident.
"..."
Looking at the Sea God Trident, which seemed to have come to life, Goddess of Life was momentarily speechless. Even with her extensive experience, this was the first time she had ever seen a Super Divine Artifact that was so active and spiritual even after leaving Deity.
"What's going on?" Goddess of Life asked, puzzled.
"I came to ask you, Master's wife," An Zhen said.
"What did Xiao An Zhen do to it?"
"Nothing special. I was just injecting energy, trying to control and refine it with my own power."
"Soul Power?"
"The power of the world, " An Zhen said.
"It must be some of the rules that affected it," the Goddess of Life said uncertainly.
Because all of this is unprecedented.
Destruction and life are the closest to the power of creation.
The couple had also studied quite a bit of the world. Origin.
However, it was not mentioned that such a reaction would occur with the Super Divine Artifact.
However, An Zhen's case is unique.
This is not an ordinary world.
"What is the current state of the Sea God Trident?" An Zhen asked Dao.
She doesn't understand the process by which this Goddess of Life was formed, but the current outcome is clear.
"You have awakened its spirit, giving it its own unique intelligence. If you continue with the previous steps, perhaps its intelligence can grow stronger step by step," said the Goddess of Life to Dao.
"It might even change its life form in the future. Of course, this is just my speculation. Divine Artifact transformation is feasible, but Super Divine Artifact, at least, has never had such a precedent before."
"What impact will this have on me?" An Zhen asked Dao.
The voice of the Goddess of Life entered An Zhen's mind through the divine messenger's mark, explaining Dao to him. " If an instrument possesses a spirit, it means it has its own judgment."
"Once its intelligence develops to a certain level, it will be able to fully control itself. If it recognizes you, it can unleash considerable power without needing to reach the standard of at least a First-Class God to use the Super Divine Artifact normally, because at this point it is in control of itself. However, the power will be somewhat lower than that of a standard First-Class God using the Super Divine Artifact."
"Has it made its own judgment?" An Zhen pondered, "What if it resists Sea God?"
"Then the Sea God cannot recall it," the Goddess of Life said. " Even if the Sea God forcibly obtains it and controls it with its own power, given the Super Divine Artifact's own abilities, the stronger its intelligence, the less power the Sea God can unleash, perhaps even equivalent to an ordinary weapon."
On the Douluo Continent, even wielding the Sea God Trident, a weapon weighing a staggering 108,000 jin, as a common weapon, would be enough to make one stand out from the crowd. However, if, in a battle between Deities, the Super Divine Artifact, which should amplify one's power, were to prevent one from unleashing its full potential, it would be quite fatal.
"Oh?" An Zhen's eyes flashed with delight, but he changed the subject and said to Dao, "But, it was originally Sea God's Super Divine Artifact."
"Indeed," said the Goddess of Life to Dao. "It was forged by the First Generation Sea God using his own Martial Soul, and by two generations of Sea Gods." Divine Power nourishes. But that's the Main Body, which, to put it another way, is like the human physical body. Its intelligence was born because of you and is nourished by your power.
"There are two spirits in the Sea God Trident. One is its own intellect, born through your power, and the other is the spirit bestowed upon it by the nourishment of the powers of the two Sea Gods."
"The former is internal, the latter is external."
"On the other hand, they are equivalent to the Plane Lord and the Plane Consciousness. One is a being with intelligence like a normal living being, while the other is a disorganized mess with only rules and structures. That's why its own intelligence can grow so smoothly, squeezing out and even devouring the spirit given by the Sea God."
An Zhen was overjoyed.
Goddess of Life's gaze remained fixed on the spiritually imbued Sea God Trident.
Few Deities are willing to allow their Divine Artifacts to give birth to their own spirit.
Allowing a weapon to develop its own consciousness when it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% under control poses a significant risk to the user.
Having learned about the current state of the Sea God Trident, An Zhen began preparing to refine the affinity with the Sea God Divine Throne.
As for how to refine it.
It's all based on instinct.
An Zhen sat cross-legged on the jade-like ground, releasing the Virtual World's desire to devour certain powers within her body.
The next second, countless images flooded into my brain.
It was a vast, boundless ocean, as if one had entered a god-like perspective. Tens of millions, even billions, of sentient beings entered An Zhen's brain: mermaids, whales, various small and medium-sized fish—one after another, these creatures appeared in An Zhen's mind. There was no feeling of being overwhelmed, no sense of something being forcibly stuffed into his soul; rather, it was like watching a movie. Countless ocean creatures, using their own will as anchors, wove together a vast net, influencing this world with the beliefs of all living beings, dominating, or rather, forming the will of the sea.
Meanwhile, in some unknown latitude, in the void, a huge sphere radiating a milky white aura suddenly shone brightly. One by one, the powers began to operate, and a wisp of azure light appeared within the same milky white world. Then, more and more appeared, from a drop of water to a small pond, a stream, a great river, a vast lake, and finally, it transformed into a boundless ocean, indistinctly visible, containing tens of thousands of different kinds of marine life.
The world continues to evolve.
Until a certain point when a saturation point is reached.
Or perhaps it's due to insufficient subsequent energy sources.
The ocean has disappeared.
To be precise, it has been integrated into this world.
Milky white Qi breath drifted through the world like clouds and mist, like the whiteness at the beginning of the world's birth, or like the Origin that could evolve everything.
Time passed second by second, and it was unclear how much time had gone by.
"Hmm~"
An Zhen let out a lazy hum.
It felt like I had a very comfortable sleep.
"The pillow is a bit hard."
An Zhen gently rubbed her head against the object she was using as a pillow.
"Really? " Youyou's voice rang out, carrying the melancholy of a young girl.
"That's really unfair to Regent. " You're so excited!
"It's nothing." An Zhen squinted, a familiar fragrance lingering around his nose. "I am very magnanimous."
The next second, a pair of small hands cupped An Zhen's face and began to rub it.
"You bastard!" Xu Tianzhen accused.
"Hmph~" An Zhen sat up, checked his own condition, and then bowed to the Goddess of Life statue.
"Let's go." With that, An Zhen pulled Xu Tianzhen's petite figure into his arms.
"Traitor." Xu Tianzhen "struggled," more like snuggling against An Zhen. "I came to see you out of kindness, and you fell on me. I didn't move because I was afraid of disturbing you, and you're complaining."
"I don't mean I'm complaining," An Zhen denied.
"Even small ones are cute."
It might be due to genetics. But the royal family's nutrition is still very good, and with the absorption of Soul Bone promoting physical development, the little empress certainly doesn't have a flat chest.
"Traitor, traitor…" Xu Tianzhen hummed softly as An Zhen held her, but her body betrayed her by lying in his arms, her jade-like arms encircling An Zhen's neck, her cherry-like lips opening and closing against An Zhen's ear, her warm, moist body hitting it.
"Some people have called me a traitor before," An Zhen suddenly said.
"Who?!" Xu Tianzhen's expression suddenly became very tense, and she tightened her arms around An Zhen's neck.
An Zhen didn't answer, but instead displayed a dessert and handed it to Xu Tianzhen.
"And then she became like this," An Zhen said.
"What does this mean?" Xu Tianzhen looked curiously at the dessert in his hand that resembled bread.
An Zhen didn't answer, but instead said, "Dao, Your Majesty, have a bite."
Xu Tianzhen opened his mouth and bit.
The bread was squeezed, and the cream inside was instantly squeezed out.
Xu Tianzhen:!
The little girl pushed the cream puff into her mouth with her small hand, "Delicious."
After finishing his meal in a few bites, Xu Tianzhen still didn't understand An Zhen's meaning.
An Zhen's gaze fell on Ju Zi, who was quietly following behind them. " Ask Ju Zi, she might know. "
Girls sometimes know more about sex than boys imagine. This isn't taboo knowledge; whether in ancient times or in the more advanced modern world, people receive relevant education at a certain age.
Xu Tianzhen looked at An Zhen with suspicion.
It's all so mysterious.
Jumping down from An Zhen's arms, Xu Tianzhen came to Ju Zi's side, and the two girls huddled together talking. Xu Tianzhen gestured animatedly as she demonstrated. Ju Zi was initially a little confused, not understanding what it meant, but through Xu Tianzhen's vivid description, she suddenly grasped the point, and an alluring blush instantly spread across her cheeks. Ju Zi glanced shyly at An Zhen, then, under Xu Tianzhen's expectant and curious gaze, leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered her story.
Then.
Until they entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Xu Tianzhen never approached An Zhen within five meters again.
"Go home."
Standing at the entrance of the soul-guided elevator leading to Mingde Hall, An Zhen said "Dao" to Xu Tianzhen, who was far away from him.
"I...I...I have state affairs to discuss with Ju Zi tonight." Xu Tianzhen's face showed a hint of panic, then he said in a serious tone, "Dao. "
"Oh?" An Zhen said with a smile, "Then, as an Empire... " "Regent, I, the king, should be among them."
The world.
An Zhen suddenly appeared beside Xu Tianzhen and Ju Zi, grabbing the two girls' wrists.
"Does Orange have time tonight?" An Zhen asked, looking at Orange.
"Have."
Dual Cultivation: Her long, beautiful legs were pressed tightly together, and her orange-colored face was flushed.
Night.
In addition to what Xu Tianzhen asked earlier.
She won't turn into that tonight, will she?
"Let's skip tonight, let's do it tomorrow," An Zhen said. "Give Ju Zi a day off tomorrow."
It might take five or six days.
I have plans tonight.
You can't suddenly cancel your trip just hours before it's supposed to start.
I spent part of the day with Qiu'er and Zi Ji.
After much thought...
I've skipped tomorrow's time to fill the world with the power of Sea God Trident.
An Zhen's gaze fell on the orange.
Two strands of soft brown hair draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of intellectual beauty. Her delicate, supple skin seemed to glow with moisture; at nineteen, this beautiful young woman was in the prime of her youth. Her long, straight legs, clad in black stockings and high heels, peeked out from under her knee-length skirt, exuding a unique allure.
It's harvest season.
Xu Tianzhen watched An Zhen's undisguised, unwavering stare at the orange. The Little Empress puffed out her cheeks.
"Traitor! You said before that being small was cute too. You big liar!"
"Then tonight..." Orange's cheeks were flushed.
"Come to my place, I'll prepare a room for you so you can chat with Qiu'er and the others." An Zhen said to Dao, "I know you have friends at the academy, Dao. You can stay here or at my place."
"Yes."
An Zhen, holding Orange, picked up the little empress who was standing still and unwilling to move.
An Zhen's restaurant has added another set of bowls, chopsticks, and chairs.
After dinner, Huo Yutong spent time with Ju Zi and the other girls.
An Zhen took advantage of this break to examine her gains more thoroughly.
