"Hmm."
"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that. That's fine too."
The Golden Canary felt Li Ang's warmth and happily closed its eyes.
...
"This thing can reverse track the location of the Creation Cauldron."—early the next morning, when Li Ang t Akuya, her first words were this.
"I see. So how do we do it?"
Ignoring the drunken behavior, Li Ang picked up the conversation from last night without issue.
"You can't do it. At your level, you still can't perceive the aura of the Power of Creation, but we can."
The pink-haired young girl showed no signs of her drunken state as she wore a serious expression, more solemn than ever before.
"I never imagined that I could get so many surprises from you, even delightful ones."
Akuya fiddled with the multi-porous sphere, clearly in a jubilant mood.
"With this, mastery over the Creation Relics can advance further."
"Is this place very useful to the Six Divine Spirits too?"
"Naturally, for beings like us, it doesn't have the utility that mortals imagine, but mastering it can profoundly influence the world through law adjustnts."
"What kind of place is it then?"
"It's called the Furnace and can naturally create the ultimate artifacts. However, forging items is just an auxiliary function; its true form is a law adjustnt device."
Akuya tossed the sphere in her hand: "As for law adjustnts, no one is currently in charge; the Primordial Furnace should be autonomously operating under certain rules. Two thousand years ago, it did alter the laws."
The connection between the divine spirit's words and a previous suspicions enlightened Li Ang, but concrete confirmation was still needed.
"Are you referring to the prohibition against mortals creating Treasure Artifacts?"
"Yes, and our guess is that it adjusted in this way because of the battle between the woman worshiped by mortals as the Goddess of Kindness and the Demon. At that ti, it involved most of Nebis, with a vast number of existing Treasure Artifacts thrown into the war, further rending the already scarred Nebis. We were forced to appear, dealing with many sses to minimize the losses."
"Is that so?"
Comparing the tiline and what the Guard of the Creation Cauldron ntioned, the Thunderstorm Star Soul's reference to the Goddess of Kindness and her followers, the formation of the Wotam Sect, all date back two thousand years. Looking at the entire history of Nebis, perhaps that's a notable chapter.
"What is the 'Fire Thief' then?"
Li Ang rembered that the Guard ntioned "the last Fire Thief." By context, the current Fire Thief could refer to the Do Furnace Association that crafted Treasure Artifacts then, possibly including Li Ang who added so materials, but who the last one was remains intriguing.
Combining what Farlonio said, a thousand years ago during her ancestor's era, Treasure Artifacts could be freely created by Grand Artisans. Until seven hundred years ago, when the last Fire Thief ntioned by the Guard was executed, mortals lost that privilege again.
Being referred to as such is certainly indicative of a key figure.
"I don't know," the Water Dragon replied bluntly.
Even the Six Dragons don't know? Li Ang thought to himself but did not voice the question.
Akuya added, "We are only aware of the world's secrets, with a broad range of observation, but not all events are known to us. Back then, Thanatos did notice the restoration and change in rules, but we cannot find the Creation Furnace shielded by the Primordial Being, let alone know what happened there."
After that, there wasn't much more to say. Akuya took the tal sphere and left, ntioning she would reach out to Li Ang again. anwhile, he had the ti to carefully examine the "Island Forger's Skill Inheritance" that the system had organized.
