Reading a lot of books eventually leads to the desire to write one.

"Then what should I do?" pondered Li Qianxia, "Become a professional photographer and capture cosmic landscapes? Publish an album?"

On the last night, the four of them returned to the Honey Pot World and spent the time chatting leisurely.

The next day, they began preparations for the Holy City battle.

In just six years, hoping for a breakthrough in Heavenly Will is like fantasizing, the only thing that can noticeably increase combat power is—

Forging Heavenly Devices.

Heavenly Might is unpredictable and invincible, even those of the Heavenly Position can hardly use Heavenly Will repeatedly in a short time, there is a risk of altering their path.

In six years, no matter how astonishing one's talent and aptitude, at most, one can cultivate to 'thrice'.

Even thrice, countless with the Heavenly Position couldn't reach this realm in infinite ages.

Under the Heavenly Position, cultivation is somewhat related to time; with perseverance, if there's no breakthrough, one's strength might still thicken a bit.

Above the Heavenly Position, understanding is understanding, not understanding means never understanding, not even in eternal life.

And the Heavenly Device, crafted from unparalleled materials, can bear Heavenly Will.

The top-tier materials can even enable the use of Heavenly Might multiple times in a short period.

Such materials are destined to be rare.

In ancient times, only a few renowned Heavenly Immortals could have one, while the rest, though possessing Heavenly Devices, used ordinary materials, capable of activating only four or five times in short intervals.

Li Changzhou and the others naturally wanted to forge a Supreme Heavenly Device with the most activations.

In the era before the value game, it was unlikely to gather materials for two Supreme Heavenly Devices throughout the entire universe.

Variables arose from the starry Heavenly Road.

On the starry Heavenly Road, countless opportunities in the universe amassed there, with players flocking, finding uncountable rare materials.

At Li Changzhou's command, the Six Great Stars, along with the thirty-six conquered otherworlds, swiftly took action.

The Divine Will Great Wall was also collecting materials.

Yet, given the Divine Will Clan's number of players and foundation, they only sent two fist-sized Supreme materials, along with a small handful of fragments.

Combining these materials would barely allow the creation of a small-scale Supreme Heavenly Device like a mirror.

No matter the size, as long as it's a Supreme Heavenly Device, it represents invincibility.

With sufficient ability, it could activate Heavenly Will eight to nine times, and who but a Saint could withstand it?

Yet in the Holy City, to true supreme masters, even a Supreme Heavenly Device is just foundational.

Without such a weapon, how could one compete for the twelve Saint Positions?

A year later.

"Your Majesty, all currently collected materials are in the national treasury. Next, we can only send people to trade in other civilization spheres or have players collect on the Heavenly Road."

Li Changzhou glanced at the national treasury, noticing plenty of ordinary materials, but the supreme materials were scattered, some as thin as hair strands, insufficient for even half a piece.

This certainly wasn't all from the Six Great Stars and thirty-six worlds.

Some must be hoarding.

The human heart is selfish; even with absolute sovereignty, Li Changzhou couldn't compel people to hand over such materials.

Yafeiluna's suggestion didn't seem hopeful either.

Trading?

With the imminent opening of the Holy City, everyone's searching for materials; even if someone was willing to trade, could Earth's foundation compete with other civilization spheres?

For instance, the Order Empire, ruling over three civilization spheres, with a terrifyingly strong foundation.

Sending players to search on the Heavenly Road?

Whether they find anything or not, even if they do, these players might not be willing to hand it over.

Yafeiluna also sensed the slim hope, and tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, what about the Divine Will Great Wall?"

"Sending materials for one Supreme Heavenly Device is already most benevolent." Li Changzhou sighed.

Even a preliminary Holy Artifact like the Chaos Bell isn't a Supreme Heavenly Device, which shows how precious the materials are. The Divine Will Great Wall probably doesn't have much in reserve.

"We can make one less, I have the small Jade Cauldron," Yang Qinglan said.

Li Changzhou shook his head, "The small Jade Cauldron is good, but it's not a Heavenly Device. To bear Heavenly Will, six years of nurturing isn't enough."

"Have you forgotten about the Power of Faith?" Yang Qinglan smiled, "With the Power of Faith, six years, although tight, is enough."

"Really?"

"Why would I lie about this?" Yang Qinglan glanced at him.

Li Changzhou nodded, "Then we still lack two and a half pieces, I'll go look, with [Heavenly Will·Fate], there should be hope of finding them."

At this moment, the Turquoise Pool suddenly emerged from seclusion.

"Give me the ordinary materials and surplus Heavenly Will Balls," she said, "I'll forge puppets for players to take into the starry Heavenly Road."

"Have you comprehended [Mechanical Sovereign] enough to use Heavenly Will Balls as materials?" Li Changzhou asked.

Turquoise Pool smiled, "Among the ten strongest Heavenly Wills, rapid advancement is also one of the primary reasons it's the strongest."

"I'll help too!" Li Qianxia stepped forward, "[Creator] is difficult, creating Supreme materials is impossible, not in six hundred or six thousand years, but ordinary materials I can do, I'll create ordinary materials, Turquoise Pool can handle making puppets, and Qing Lan can focus on nurturing the 'small Jade Cauldron'."

"Sorry, I can't be of much help," Yang Qinglan said.

The three laughed.

"Can we really help you that much?"

The four of them concluded that hope was indeed high.

If luck was good enough, they could even forge a fitting Supreme Heavenly Device instead of limited by material scarcity to using small items like 'mirrors'.

Five years remain until the Holy City opens.

This day, Yang Qinglan entered a state of full retreat; either the small Jade Cauldron becomes a Supreme Heavenly Device, or she emerges when the Holy City opens.

Turquoise Pool forged puppets, Li Qianxia created materials. This was also a form of cultivation, not considered a waste.
