However, as Sir Sun checked the "Primary Departnt," he found that the results were very touching. Including Charlotte, there were only twenty-two people in his entire departnt who could be assigned to refining! With nearly a thousand people combined in the six departnts of the Immortal Refinent Office, this ratio was astonishing...
Sir Sun scratched his head and went to seek help from King Wiston. After explaining his intention, King Wiston’s face turned difficult: "All departnts are undergoing the final sprint to complete the ten-year mission, and we are short of manpower. Even my own departnt is stretched thin; I believe it’s the sa for other Immortal Kings."
On his way to King Wiston, Sir Sun had also noticed that the workers in the "Engineering Departnt" were busily emitting blue smoke from furnaces and the radiance of the Immortal Formation. The refining immortals were working overti.
"Forget it, I’ll think of another way." Sir Sun tried to leave but was stopped by King Wiston: "You’re trying to borrow people at this ti... You’re not really planning to complete the Emperor’s mission within half a year, are you?"
Sir Sun nodded, looking as if it were only natural: "Since His Majesty entrusted with the mission, he trusts . I have to make the first business in the Divine Machine Departnt look good so as not to disappoint His Majesty or make a joke out of it for outsiders to see!"
King Wiston slapped his thigh in frustration: "My silly brother, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Doing nothing right now is the best choice! If you really start working on this, you might end up carrying this burden in the end!"
"We only have half a year left, and there’s a batch of extrely difficult Martial Fighting Immortal Machines to make. How could we possibly finish them all?"
"Moreover, from the perspective of Emperor Venerable, if you don’t take over, he can understand. But if you do take it on and disappoint him in the end, he might get upset even if he has a good temper!"
Sir Sun thought for a while and still said, "I want to try."
King Wiston had no words to say; he could understand, after all, Sir Sun had stirred up quite a storm when he ca to the Divine Machine Departnt. Naturally, he was under imnse pressure and wanted to prove himself as soon as possible: "But this matter isn’t an excellent choice..."
After leaving King Wiston, Sir Sun went to the other seven departnts of the Divine Machine Departnt. Sir Sun didn’t have much of a relationship with these Immortal Kings, and many of them were jealous of the attention Master Hamilton had given him. However, because the "Primary Departnt" was providing them with immortal materials at an excellent price, these Immortal Kings treated Sir Sun with extra courtesy.
But as for borrowing personnel, there were none. It wasn’t to make things difficult for him, but there simply weren’t enough hands on deck for their own departnts.
After making an entire round, Sir Sun failed to borrow a single person. Instead, he had unintentionally leaked his intention to complete the list in half a year. In less than a day, the news spread like wildfire among the entire Heaven Realm’s Refining Immortal circles.
King Wiston imdiately discovered another significant drawback to Sir Sun’s actions: Master Hamilton was losing face!
To refine so many Immortal Machines in only half a year was to openly declare that Master Hamilton had bitten off more than he could chew ten years ago and had forcibly passed the task to his subordinate!
In the circles of refining immortals, especially in the "Big Four" circles, the ridicule towards Sir Sun and Master Hamilton was about half and half!
King Wiston was genuinely helpless in this situation; he sighed in secret: "One wrong step! I’m afraid my brother has angered His Majesty..."
Sir Sun returned to the "Primary Departnt" without borrowing a single person. The next day, the Inspection Immortal General ca running in a panic and reported various rumors spreading outside to Sir Sun, who casually waved his hand: "It’s nothing; I have my own plans."
The Inspection Immortal General dared not say more and retreated. Sir Sun then revealed a satisfied smile as if his strategy had succeeded.
This situation was not anticipated by King Wiston, but Sir Sun had guessed it long ago, and it was precisely the result he wanted.
By bringing himself to everyone’s attention and pushing himself into a corner, making his actions known throughout the whole Heaven Realm, Emperor Sebastian would have no excuse to refuse to provide the Fearless Fire once the real refining began.
Emperor Sebastian had been low-key for tens of thousands of years. With this massive uproar, if he didn’t provide the Fearless Fire, wouldn’t he be placing himself at the center of the whirlpool? Emperor Sebastian definitely wouldn’t do that.
Why was Sir Sun worried that Emperor Sebastian wouldn’t provide the Fearless Fire? Because there was only half a year’s ti, and nobody would believe that Sir Sun could refine everything. Emperor Sebastian had always strictly controlled the Fearless Fire, and there was a considerable possibility of refusing to allocate it at this ti.
Besides, by attracting everyone’s attention on purpose, it would be known how much Fearless Fire Emperor Sebastian had provided. The refining immortals would then calculate that the amount was just enough, so no one would suspect Sir Sun of pocketing the Fearless Fire for himself.
On the third day, Master Hamilton personally visited the "Primary Departnt" and found that there were only a few people here, making it impossible to complete the Immortal Machines listed in half a year. He frowned, coldly snorted, and left.
The Inspection Immortal General, who had been accompanying Sir Sun and receiving Master Hamilton, trembled with fear at the mont: "Your Majesty, disaster, disaster..."
"What’s the panic for!" Sir Sun scolded him, then returned to his building alone, starting his closed-door session.
After seven days, a special Immortal Machine appeared on the empty ground of Sir Sun’s "Primary Departnt" compound, surrounded by layers of Immortal Formations. This device was twenty feet high, twenty feet wide, and a hundred feet long.
Sir Sun, accompanied by the Inspection Immortal General and Charlotte, fed a large number of Immortal Materials into one side of the machine. The device rumbled to life, with the ports occasionally emitting sparks and blue smoke. In just a quarter of an hour, a Dragon Horse Immortal Machine was delivered from the other end!
Charlotte and the Inspection Immortal General were dumbstruck.
Charlotte couldn’t help but admire: "I never thought that under such pressure, Your Majesty would produce such an amazing piece of work! With this speed, we can complete all the other Immortal Machines on the half-year list, except for those Martial Fighting Immortal Machines!"
The Inspection Immortal General jumped around excitedly on the spot: "I knew it, I knew it! Your Majesty will create a miracle again!"
However, Radiance Immortal King stood in the distance with a trace of hidden worry between his eyebrows: This thing... How similar it is to the Heavenly Furnace of the past!
