Fire Dragon Sky Work agrees to a major project with the Daydreamer and Blue Dream Star Lord to create a standardized wizard tool for exploring the Nightmare World. Meanwhile, Ace, the master of Fire Dragon Sky Work, prepares to break through to the legendary realm with the help of powerful artifacts and creatures.

Ten years elapsed.

A shimmering purple Bead materialized into existence.

Its very appearance triggered a formidable Great Tribulation, an event befitting a Legendary Artifact. Fortunately, Levi expertly utilized his wizard tower, a testament to his moniker, the Duo Bao Wizard, to effortlessly nullify the tribulation.

This formidable wizard tower was outfitted with an array of top-tier, ninth-circle Wizard Tools. Any challenge it faced could be met head-on with overwhelming power.

Once the Great Tribulation subsided, Levi grasped the nascent Bead and softly articulated, "Ice and Fire Purple Qi!"

He then consumed it. The Bead dissolved into a surge of warmth that coursed directly into his mind.

His spiritual force experienced an explosive ascent, rapidly eclipsing the one hundred thousand mark. An ethereal Avenue of Ice and Fire unfurled, stretching into the very darkness, and Levi stepped onto this path without a flicker of hesitation.

The Chaos Emperor materialized silently.

He observed the receding form of the Holy Infant and spoke with deep emotion, "The day I have long awaited has finally arrived."

Over the span of a thousand years, numerous individuals had ascended to the Legend realm. However, very few possessed the capacity to evoke the profound universal anticipation that surrounded the Holy Infant. Since the inception of the Dark Ancient Tower, countless souls had borne witness to the ascendance of Master Fire Dragon.

Some, blessed with exceptionally long lifespans, felt an almost parental connection, as if nurturing a child from infancy. The collective anticipation for the Master’s triumphant return was palpable.

...

One month later.

Within the hallowed grounds of the Dragon Academy.

The Sky Dragon Wizard, sensing a momentous shift, turned his gaze towards the celestial expanse. In the direction of the Sorren Continent, an immense river of Purple Qi, stretching for a hundred thousand miles, surged forth. A magnificent purple Divine Dragon, enveloped in cosmic Ice and Fire, emerged, coiling majestically above the Tower of Heaven.

Perched atop the Dragon’s head.

Levi’s formerly red hair had transformed into a cascade of vibrant purple.

Within his eyes, the ethereal Purple Qi swirled and flowed.

His entire being radiated an aura of unparalleled nobility.

"Levi has achieved legendary status. I must redouble my efforts as well," the Sky Dragon Wizard mused. Having attained perfection in the Nine Rings cultivation, he offered a heartfelt benediction towards his peer, who had now reached legendary status.

"Our generation is truly formidable," he affirmed, carrying a sentiment of shared greatness.

...

The Sorren Continent.

Levi basked in the myriad admiring gazes directed his way.

Legendary Wizards and other esteemed Experts arrived in succession, extending their sincere congratulations.

Alexandra and Elsie, overcome with emotion, wept tears of joy.

"Master!"

The two women rushed forward in unison, embracing Levi tightly.

"This is incredible; we now have a legendary friend!"

"Indeed! When we grow old, we’ll have an amazing story to tell our descendants about this."

Their pride in him was genuine and profound.

With both women held tenderly in his arms, enveloped in their affection, Levi offered a gentle smile.

He had attained the legendary realm, and the ensuing era promised peace, free from conflict and the anxieties of daily survival. This was the Golden Warhammer age of Forging, and numerous blueprints for Legendary Wizard Tools had already taken shape in his mind!

Within his memory, the faces of his cherished companions flickered into view.

"Amethyst Saint, I trust your journey in the astral world is proceeding well?"

A subtle curl graced Levi’s lips.

...

The astral world.

The Amethyst Saint, who had been forcibly drawn into the conflict against the insectoid forces, was suddenly seized by an inexplicable chill.

"Blast it! It must be that Dusk Palace Master, scheming against me again!"

Upon entering the astral world, he had personally witnessed the meteoric rise of Nora.

He had also observed the astral world’s steady, inexorable decline.

This peculiar sensation, akin to "joining the army of a collapsing regime in 1949," was a burden only the truly experienced could comprehend.

...

In the year 4210 of the Nora Calendar.

The 32nd Legendary Wizard to grace the Supreme Council was born.

Bearing the dual titles of [Ice and Fire Dominator and Sky Craftsman Ace].

Levi’s legendary designation was a fusion of two, marking him as the first Legendary Wizard in history to seamlessly integrate the profound arts of Weapon Refinement into the legendary path.

His Legendary Profession was bestowed as [Ice and Fire Artisan God].

His Legendary Wizard Tool was named the [Heavenly Craftwork Pagoda].

His Legendary Witch Prime Minister bore the title [East Pole Divine Dragon].

His Legendary Demiplane was designated [Heavenly Craft City], a realm prophesied to evolve into the future nexus of Fire Dragon Sky Work, and a hallowed ground for Forge Masters across the heavens.

Whether a Weapon craftsman or an Exotic Treasure Forger...

Any Artisan, irrespective of their cultivation level, was welcome to enter!

His ultimate legendary honorific was proclaimed as [the Divine Dragon who rules Ice and Fire, the Craftsman whose skills rival Heaven]!

In contrast to the more formal [Sky Craftsmen] designation.

The common populace opted for a simpler, more direct appellation for Levi: "Nora Artisan God!"

An unwavering conviction permeated the populace: that one day, their Master would stand shoulder to shoulder with the Artisan Gods of the Multidimensional Plane, rivaling even the legendary Master Bao Long. He was, in essence, the true God of Forging!

He paved a new way forward for himself.

And also opened a distinct path for all aspiring Forge Masters throughout the world!

Consequently, the Supreme Council decreed the anniversary of Master Fire Dragon’s legendary return as the Nora Wan Clan’s [Heavenly Craft Day], a festival universally celebrated by all Forge Masters.

On that auspicious day.

Fire Dragon Sky Work made a grand, public declaration: One hundred thousand Wizard Tools would be distributed freely, a gesture of gratitude for everyone’s heartfelt blessings!

Special discounts will accompany every Heavenly Craft Day from this point forward.

...

The Land of Darkness.

"Not bad, Nora Artisan God," Master Bao Long observed, looking at Nora with a smile.

"Quite good," he added.

"I've been Forging for an eternity, and it does grow tiresome."

...

The Eastern Sea.

In the tranquil expanse of the Letney Family's estate, a peaceful night was underway.

An elder breathed his last, departing the world serenely. Brilliant Golden Lightning abruptly split the heavens, piercing the darkness and resonating within the hearts of countless Letney Family disciples.

"The ancestor has passed."

A young blond wizard, known as the [Golden Skywalker] – a recently emerged Grand Wizard of the Letney Family and a burgeoning Supernova – let out a sigh.

Upon receiving the solemn news, the disciples were overcome with grief.

During the funeral rites, Golden Skywalker addressed the assembly:

"Our patriarch dedicated his life, straining himself for the family's sake. May all disciples of my Golden Lightning lineage bear in mind our clan's precepts: temper your impatience, cultivate diligently, and manage our family with wisdom. The Golden Lightning shall stand eternal!"

The family had witnessed periods of great glory and times of decline.

Through numerous trials and tribulations, the Golden Lightning family had endured the surging tides of four thousand years under Nora's reign. In this new era, they underwent self-evolution and adaptation, continuing their development.

As of present, the Letney Family boasts two Grand Wizards serving on the Sorren Council and seventy-two Nascent Soul stage wizards. The prosperity among the clan's disciples now far surpasses any previous period.

This flourishing is a gift of the era!

And, moreover, a testament to the Emperor's benevolence!

The Golden Lightning family serves as a microcosm, reflecting the transformations of countless wizarding families and organizations in this epoch. Following the ravages of war, these once prominent organizations have all undergone profound rebirths.

Their outward forms may have changed, but they remain the unyielding core of Nora Civilization.

...

The Seven-Colored Continent.

This location is the revered dojo of the Seven Calamities Ancient Clan.

The Star Splitter stands as the Guardian of this Continent.

After millennia of evolution, even the most diminished Purple Scale Clan has produced its own Level 9 Expert; numerous clans now count several Level 9 cultivators among their ranks.

The venerable White Dragon Mountain Master has retired, returning to his ancestral home.

As the founder of White Dragon Commerce, his contributions to civilization were immense. He possessed the right to ascend as a Heroic Spirit and receive offerings from future generations, yet he politely declined such honors.

In these recent years, the White Dragon Princess and the Green Bird Knight couple have temporarily set aside their duties and cultivation to remain at the old man's side, sharing tales of family matters and bygone days as they bid farewell to the elder.

To this very day.

The trade operations of Nora's foremost official commerce consortium, [White Dragon Mountain], have long since expanded beyond the Pan-Plane. Utilizing the Star Gate, their influence now reaches toward the Multidimensional Plane, establishing them as a truly Cosmic Commerce enterprise!

The universal currency, [White Dragon Coin], backed by the credit of Nora, has gradually become the preferred medium of exchange among the powerful entities of this Universe, significantly enhancing trading efficiency.

...

"Hit! Hit! Hit!"

White Robe Levi chanted under his breath before the grand lottery wheel.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 billion Aether Stones.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained...]

...

[Congratulations, you have obtained "Void Blade".]

[Congratulations, you have obtained "Blood Tai Sui Bone".]

"Double yolk!"

The usually composed Emperor was, even now, astonished.

He maintained the custom of drawing once every century, but at best, he had only ever obtained a Ten-level Divine Item, the [Earth King Divine Gold], a single time; he had never even secured a supreme treasure.

Let alone any Primordial Relics.

This time, however, he had acquired two in a single go.

"All the accumulated luck from my previous thousand draws wasn't in vain. Although I preside as the Grand Council Chairman, this lottery is draining my family's coffers dry—gambling and I are sworn enemies!"

One thousand Level 9 Crystals.

These were all obtained by Levi through various means.

For a Giant civilization, the number of Level 9 Experts at any given stage typically numbers only a few thousand; at the peak of the astral world, it might exceed ten thousand, but in the grand scheme, it's not a vast quantity.

This illustrates the immense cost Levi incurred for his lottery endeavours.

He had initially intended to wait for someone else to draw these items and then acquire them through exchange.

However, the elusive Blood Tai Sui Bone simply refused to appear.

He was left with no choice but to spend extravagantly and pull repeatedly!

"Damn Sorren, he's implemented the exact same gacha-whaling mechanic from my past life's mobile games, and he plays it like a master. No wonder that fellow achieved financial freedom at such a young age—his heart is as black as pitch!"

Regardless of the cost.

With the two most crucial Treasures now in his possession.

Levi harbored no further regrets.

"I will never touch this infernal machine again."

He raised his gaze towards the Star Battle sky, a smile gracing his lips as he murmured to himself.

"This Void Blade has been sealed for so long, it’s already stockpiled a hefty amount of void energy. With this one strike, it’s about time I said goodbye to that Prankster God."
