Chapter 48 - The Birth of a Divine Artifact!
Seven-colored divine light?
This is... a divine artifact!
Jiang Linyue stared at the dazzling light emanating from the small cauldron with an astonished expression.
'I remember that he has only been an Agent for a month. And he’s already forging a divine artifact?'
'How exactly did he do it!?'
'A god's blessing? Or good luck in clearing an SSS-Rank novice dungeon?'
If it were the latter, then the players under him must have at least one SSS-Rank class.
'It seems that...'
'The god behind him isn’t weak, at least much stronger than ordinary Wild Gods.'
It was well known that only SSS-Rank difficulty dungeons would drop divine artifact main materials.
Regardless…
Being able to forge a divine artifact at Tier 1 was still too unbelievable!
As a seasoned player, she knew very well just how impressive an Agent forging a divine artifact actually was.
As long as a divine artifact was forged, one would randomly obtain a "Forging Divine Skill."
One's value would also soar significantly!
Even within the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance, there wouldn't be more than 10 Agents possessing a "Forging Divine Skill."
One could see its rarity!

Soon, a series of forging information flashed before Ye Mo's eyes.
"It worked?"
He was ecstatic and walked quickly to the small cauldron.
Soon, he could see a pitch-black stick, resembling both wood and iron.

——————————————————
'So strong! Is this a divine artifact?'
Looking at the attributes of the "Scourge Divine Radiance Staff," Ye Mo couldn't help but suck in a large breath of cold air.
Honestly, this simply gave too much!
Cooldown, mana consumption, and durability.
These three items were the fatal weaknesses of Mages.
However, this piece of equipment actually filled all the shortcomings of Mages!
And in terms of values, it gave percentage bonuses, not simple numerical bonuses.
That meant that even if this equipment was used until the late game, it wouldn't become obsolete!
The only pity was that the forging range of the Spirit value was between 30%~60%.
Because Ye Mo's forging level was too low, there was a high probability that it wouldn't exceed 35%.
"Because of the Wood of the Divine Pillar, the success rate of shaping forging became 80%, right?"
In the entire equipment manufacturing process, shaping forging was the real key!
Only by passing this stage could the forging be considered truly complete.
"Right, I also comprehended a Forging Divine Skill. Let's see what it does."
Thinking of this, Ye Mo opened the skill introduction of "Divine Essence Forging Method" again.
——————————————————
[Divine Essence Forging Method]
[Introduction: Manifest a divine hammer to forge ultimate attributes.]
[Effect 1: Equipment success rate +10%]
[Effect 2: Can perform Divine Essence once on finished shaped equipment.
Each Divine Essence can increase the equipment's main attribute by 5%~10%, capped at the maximum value of the equipment's main attribute range.
Cooldown Time: 15 days]
——————————————————
"A pity that it can't increase the success rate of forging shaping, but it can make up for the main attribute range."
This Forging Divine Skill of Ye Mo's was more suitable for modifying already formed equipment.
——————————————————
[Hint: Please perform shaping within 10 minutes, otherwise it will be considered a failure!]
——————————————————
The system popped up a message again, urging Ye Mo to shape this equipment as soon as possible.
"Hammer, come!"
Ye Mo waved his big hand.
The forging table rose slowly.
A rune iron hammer appeared out of thin air in Ye Mo's hand.
He picked up the tongs on the forging table, clamped the billet of the "Scourge Divine Radiance Staff," placed it on the forging table, and fixed it.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Immediately after, he swung the iron hammer and smashed down fiercely!
Every smash could kick up a sky full of sparks.
Dazzling seven-colored divine light burst forth frantically, stirring up gusts of wild wind.
The water cups, ornaments, and other objects on the desk in the bedroom shook because of it.

[Forging Experience +1%]

Every four to five times Ye Mo hammered, a system notification would pop up before his eyes.
'Holy crap?'
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the staff in Ye Mo's hand that was emitting dazzling divine light and was gradually being hammered into shape, and her whole person was shocked.
When she scrolled through short videos, she had also watched Agents' livestreams forging equipment.
But there wasn't such a big commotion then!
"Old Mo, what equipment are you forging? The commotion is too exaggerated!"
"Shh! Don't distract him. He’s currently shaping a divine artifact. It's a critical moment."
Jiang Linyue made a "shh" gesture to Ye Xiaoxiao.
'Divine artifact?'
'This is a divine artifact!'
'Old Mo is actually... forging a divine artifact for me?'
Ye Xiaoxiao was stunned!
She only felt like she was dreaming. It was a bit unreal.
A divine artifact, that was a divine artifact!
Equipment that even Level 100 big shots might not necessarily possess.
Old Mo actually...
At this moment, she suddenly recalled what Ye Mo had said to her before.
"Of course, sister. Everything I do is for you."
'Could it be that...'
'He agreed to be the Saintess' cauldron to forge a divine artifact for me?'
'Otherwise, where did he get the divine artifact's main material?'
'Only a big shot like the Heavenly Dao Alliance Saintess could provide it for him.'
Thinking of this, she felt incredibly ashamed of her previous attitude.
'Old Mo sacrificed so much for my path as a player, yet I threw a tantrum and questioned him because of a small matter.'
'Truly... too terrible!'
'Don't worry, Old Mo. After I become stronger, I’ll definitely help you escape this sea of bitterness!'
Ye Xiaoxiao swore secretly in her heart.
"Mr. Agent is so amazing. He can even forge a divine artifact?"
Little stars of worship twinkled in Meng Li's eyes.
A divine artifact.
For Demi-humans, that was something that only existed in legends.
Let alone touching one, even getting a glimpse was a luxury!
'Ye Mo can forge such an amazing thing?'
'Sure enough, her Mr. Agent is the most amazing in the universe!'
Clang clang clang!
As time passed…
The seven-colored divine light in the room gradually dimmed.
The black wood iron stick was also gradually perfected under each hammer strike!
And at this moment, Ye Mo was already soaked with sweat.
He even took off his shirt, exposing his robust, muscular body.
——————————————————
[Ding! Congratulations, "Scourge Divine Radiance Staff" has been crafted!]
[Your Forging Level has been upgraded to Level 3.]
——————————————————
Finally, after the last crisp striking sound…
The light around the black iron wooden stick disappeared, and its form was completely set.
Turning into a staff that was pitch-black throughout, branded with complex curse seals all over.
The top of the staff curved into a dragon head shape.
In the dragon's mouth, a crystal emitting profound black light was held.
At a glance, it didn't look like an ordinary object. The whole thing radiated a mysterious, fantasy aura.
"A pity that my forging level is too low. Although successful, the main attribute is only 33%."
The main attribute range of the "Scourge Divine Radiance Staff" was 30%~60%.
Because Ye Mo's forging level was too low, he only hammered it to 33%.
"However... I can use my Forging Divine Skill to make up for its lack of main attribute."
Saying that, Ye Mo picked up the iron hammer again.
‘Clang clang clang’, forging again.
It was just that at this moment, his speed of swinging the hammer was extremely fast, as if he was injected with chicken blood, turning into streaks of afterimages.
With every hammer strike, the "Scourge Divine Radiance Staff" became more dazzling by a fraction!
"This is... Divine Essence Forging Method? He actually comprehended this kind of Forging Divine Skill!"
Jiang Linyue took a deep breath.
Among the many Forging Divine Skills, the Divine Essence Forging Method was undoubtedly the one with the highest upper limit and the most practical.
The higher the equipment's upper limit, the greater its role.
It should be known that after equipment forging and shaping, the main attribute was fixed, and there was no other way to improve it.
Just like Ye Mo's Scourge Divine Radiance Staff, the main attribute was a Spirit bonus of 33%.
And the Divine Essence Forging Method, each time it was used, could raise it by another 5%~10% bonus.
Until it reached the full attribute increase of 60%!
Even an Agent with a Level 10 Forging Level would find it very difficult to forge a piece of equipment to full attributes.
Therefore, Ye Mo's "Divine Essence Forging Method" was famous in the forging world.
The drawback was that… its cooldown was too long!
——————————————————
T/N - That staff’s actually pretty good! Percentage boosts are always good, and the skill attached is pretty decent. But that 3 times damage immunity is pretty godly, especially for a mage class. I wonder if the staff can be improved further?
