Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1243: Reappearance of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers

After five painful days, the weapon refinery disciples gathered around Ouyang Lishang with high concentration. Over the past five days, they had less than one hour to sleep and eat. After they dozed off, they had to continue creating the World Tide.

Now, the hard times were over, and the good times were about to begin. They were about to witness Ouyang Lishang create the signs and turn dead metal into a living thing. They would see how Ouyang Lishang induced a miraculous transformation!

Ouyang Lishang took the seven parts of the World Tide. He rapidly used a hammer to create the signs on the seven parts, as if the skills were at his fingertips. Ouyang Lishang said, “Without the pattern, magical weapons are dead, like how humans will die if they do not have any vital channels.”

After he created another pattern, he continued. “These signs are like the writings we have learned. There are specific patterns to be followed. But the World Tide is different. I was the one who created the seven signs. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cang Jie[1] created words.” Then, Ouyang Lishang looked at his disciples. “But you must understand that the difference between these signs and words is that words are complete. You simply have to learn what your forefathers have left behind. But there are many gaps in terms of signs. There is a lot of space for creativity. Don’t grow complacent after mastering a few signs. You must explore the vast world!”

At this moment, the weapon refinery disciples linked the image of master refiner with Ouyang Lishang. Typically, Ouyang Lishang was an expert at currying favor. Either that, or he was a harsh workshop owner. He did not seem like a master at all.

The moment Ouyang Lishang created a sign on the seventh part, the seven scattered parts of the World Tide moved and pieced themselves together, forming a sword.

Red lines flowed on the sword like magma. The signs were like riverbeds that were dry, but now surged with water.

At this moment, the magma in the signs looked as if they were going to overflow, like a dam about to burst. Ouyang Lishang did not panic. He dunked the sword into the water tank beside him. The flames sizzled and were extinguished.

Ouyang Lishang took up the World Tide. He silently thought about it. The casting of this intricate weapon was very tough. The errors were so small that they could not be seen with the naked eye.

When he cast the World Tide in the past, this had never happened. But he had said that the more tightly joined together the World Tide was, the more threatening it would become. This time, something Ouyang Lishang did not expect would happen had happened when the signs joined together. The magma almost overflowing meant that the sword itself almost could not endure the threat posed when the signs joined together!

How dangerous! It was almost unable to contain it!

Signs were created on each and every piece of the World Tide. In the end, Lu Shu was presented with 144 World Tides. This was many more than Ouyang Lishang had created back then!

The weapon refinery disciples seemed lost in thought. Only the professional refiners, who had the right to create teaching materials, seemed to be in anguish. From today onwards, they had to stand at the same standing line as these students from the Cultivation Colleges.

But although they could not accept the fact that these students could do what they could do, they did not feel that it was a pity.

The professional refiners spent day and night researching metal materials and their reactions at the laboratories in the Capital. Did they do this for themselves? No. They did it for the prosperity and flourishing of the Heavenly Network.

They had reached this goal. What they needed to do was start on a new journey, and complain here.

Ouyang Lishang looked at Lu Shu and smiled obsequiously. “Great Lord, I have fulfilled my mission. The World Tides have been created!”

Lu Shu looked at the World Tides. After they had cooled, there were seven gold dragons surging through each World Tide. The black and gold complemented each other well.

The next moment, all the weapon refinery disciples watched as the World Tides flew into the sky. Ripples were formed in the sky and flew out. It was as if black dragons were shouting in front of them. The sword landed on the ground in front of Zhang Weiyu and the rest. This produced an ear-piercing sound when the sword came into contact with the ground.

Lu Shu led Ouyang Lishang and stepped into a void to arrive in front of Zhang Weiyu. He looked at Zhang Weiyu, who was controlling his excitement. “What are you waiting for? Take your sword.”

The World Tides flew into the hands of Zhang Weiyu and the rest. Zhang Weiyu looked at Lu Shu in shock. “This World Tide... is even more convenient than the previous one!”

Of course, Ouyang Lishang was not willing to admit that this was the result of technology. He cleared his throat. “Ahem. The master refiner can improve too. The sword in your hands is the World Tide 2.0!”

Lu Shu was speechless. He looked at Ouyang Lishang. “Don’t blindly give names after looking at the objects on Earth. A perfectly good name has been destroyed by you. Just call it the World Tide.”

“The Great Lord is wise. The Great Lord is great.” Ouyang Lishang submissively sucked up to Lu Shu.

Zhang Weiyu mustered up the courage and suddenly asked, “I have a doubt. I already have an answer, but I have no way to confirm it. Great Lord, are you able to give me an answer today?”

Lu Shu calmly looked at Zhang Weiyu. “Go ahead.”

“We have heard of Lord Ouyang Lishang. He is the craftsman of the old King of Gods. Almost all the weapons from the palace of the King of Gods have his name carved on them,” said Zhang Weiyu. “But I have also heard that he only created weapons for the old King of Gods, as the old King of Gods had saved his life.”

Ouyang Lishang immediately snapped out of his bootlicker character. He grew arrogant. “You know quite a lot.”

Lu Shu thought about it. He had wanted to tell Zhang Weiyu about this. Why did he not recognize Corpsedog? But Lu Shu was curious. “When did you start having this doubt?”

“Lord Arcane told me something interesting.” Zhang Weiyu said, “When the old King of Gods carried Lord Tear Tricker back to the palace of the King of Gods, Lord Tear Tricker was still in her swaddling clothes. That night, the old King of Gods sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Lord Tear Tricker while she fell asleep. This is exactly the same... as your heavenly vision. Lord Arcane also said that he had never seen a face as kind as yours. Back then, he understood the reason we risked life and limb to follow you.”

At this moment, Zhang Weiyu’s tone had changed. It was as if the answer in his heart had been confirmed.

Lu Shu suddenly laughed. Last night, he dreamed that Tear Tricker passed through an empty street while carrying him. He was crying in his box. Tear Tricker stopped and carried Lu Shu in her arms. She softly sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It was as if fate had come one full circle.

Lu Shu quietly stood in front of everyone. He looked at Zhang Weiyu and the rest. He said, “These few days, I have been thinking that the name ‘Wei Wu Army’ doesn’t sound nice. Thus, from today onwards, you will be called the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.”

Zhang Weiyu knelt down on the ground. He buried his head in the shadows of his helmet. He cried. “Welcome back, my King.”

Behind him, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers all knelt down. The sound of the armor rubbing against one another sounded like angry shouting. The veins on their necks were jumping. “Welcome back, my King!”

Their voices caused the entire Longmen Fortress to tremble.
