..."I... I want to!"
Tang Ya no longer hesitated, a fanatical light burning in her eyes. "As long as I can create stronger things, I don't care if I become a god or a demon!"
"Very good."
Xuan Ming nodded with satisfaction. "As long as you're willing, everything else is not a problem."
Before his voice had even faded, the white light in his hand suddenly flared up and was slapped directly into Tang Ya's forehead.
Boom—!!!
An indescribably massive surge of Primal Divine Power poured into Tang Ya's body like a rushing river.
There was no resistance, nor was there any so-called Lightning Tribulation test.
The Level 99 Bottleneck that had locked Tang Ya for decades was like paper before this force, shattering instantly.
Level 100... Divine Officer... Third-level Divine Essence... Tang Ya felt her body burning, every cell cheering with joy. Her Soul seemed to break free from the shackles of her Physical Body, sublimating to a brand-new height.
Only a few breaths of time passed.
When the light dissipated, Tang Ya was still standing in the same spot. But now, the aura on her body had undergone a qualitative change.
It was no longer the turbid spirit power of a Mortal, but pure, condensed divine force.
Hundred-Level True God!
"This..." Tang Ya looked at her hands, which were emitting a faint fluorescent glow, completely stunned.
It's... done?
No need for secluded meditation? No Undergoing Tribulation? No need for enlightenment?
"Don't be surprised."
Xuan Ming clapped his hands. "This only helped you raise your Life level, which is what's called becoming a god through the Physical Body. But you're currently an unregistered resident; you don't have a God Position."
"Normally, according to the rules, you should be like Yuhao, gaining enlightenment of the Laws and condensing a Godhead. However, with your talent, if I let you do that, you'd probably spend several thousand years just to get a Second-level God position, like a God of Mecha or something. It wouldn't mean much and would be a pure waste of time."
"So, I've found a better place for you."
"A better place?" Tang Ya was puzzled.
"Mhm." Xuan Ming nodded. "Remember Xiao Wu?"
"Sister Xiao Wu?" Tang Ya naturally remembered her—the lively and cute goddess who was always with Xuan Ming.
"She is now a God King, holding the authority over the Law of Destruction. But you know what she's like; she's fine at fighting, but when it comes to using her brain or construction, you can't count on her at all."
Xuan Ming complained, "Lately, she's been clamoring for a set of flashy equipment, preferably something that can blast people away without her having to lift a finger."
"So, are you interested in becoming a Divine Officer for her?"
"Divine Officer?" Tang Ya hesitated. "Is that... a subordinate?"
"It is a subordinate, but not an ordinary one."
Xuan Ming explained, "A God King's Divine Officer can directly borrow the power of the God King's Law. In other words, if you become Xiao Wu's Divine Officer, even though you don't have a God Position, you can directly mobilize the Divine Force of Destruction."
"With the Law of Destruction's blessing, the weapons you create—even if it's just a small pistol—could have the lethality of a First-level Main God."
"Isn't this much better than you painstakingly Cultivating to become a Second-level God?"
After hearing Xuan Ming's explanation, Tang Ya's eyes completely lit up.
Being able to directly use the Law of Destruction to manufacture weapons?
This was simply like giving her mecha an infinite firepower cheat!
"I'm willing! I'm more than willing!"
Tang Ya was so excited she almost jumped up. "As long as I can continue my research, I'll be a Divine Officer for anyone!"
"Then it's settled."
Xuan Ming smiled. "During this time, handle the Tang Sect's affairs and arrange your funeral... oh no, I mean, make the follow-up arrangements."
"In a while, Xiao Wu will come down personally to pick you up."
At this point, Xuan Ming pointed to the massive "dark blood demon" mecha nearby.
"By the way, there's a task."
"This big guy—you have to take it up with you."
"Take it up?" Tang Ya was startled. "But doesn't the God Realm forbid bringing Mortal objects?"
"Those are the rules for others."
Xuan Ming said indifferently, "My rule is that as long as it's something useful, even a brick can be brought up."
"Moreover, a large part of the reason I'm having you become a god is for this."
Xuan Ming stepped forward and lightly tapped the mecha's outer shell.
"I want to see what happens if we replace this thing's core with a God Realm energy source, change its armor to Divine Iron, and then carve the Law of Destruction onto its skeleton..."
"Whether this thing can become the God Realm's first god king-class mecha."
"god king-class mecha..."
Tang Ya murmured those words repeatedly, feeling her blood boiling.
That was a realm she hadn't even dared to dream of.
But now, the god named 'Xuan Ming' had placed the key to that realm in her hands.
"I understand."
Tang Ya took a deep breath, her eyes incredibly firm—it was a craftsman's obsession with the ultimate creation.
"Please rest assured."
"As long as you give me enough Materials and time..."
"I will definitely build a perfect weapon for you!"
Xuan Ming nodded with satisfaction.
"Good, I have high hopes for you."
"I'm off."
After speaking, Xuan Ming's figure gradually faded and disappeared into the air.
Silence returned to the underground workshop.
But Tang Ya knew that everything had changed... Months later.
The Tang Sect publicly announced that Grand Elder Tang Ya had gained enlightenment of heaven and earth and entered secluded meditation to strike for the God Realm, no longer concerning herself with worldly affairs. All matters of the Tang Sect were handed over to the new generation's Sect Leader with full authority.
And on a certain stormy night.
A purple-black divine light quietly descended upon the Tang Sect's Forbidden Land.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang Ya, who was ready to go and had even packed the entire underground workshop into a giant storage spirit tool, and couldn't help but pat her shoulder with a giggle.
"Little Ya, welcome to the God Realm Demolition Office!"
"I heard Xuan Ming say you can build very powerful cannons?"
"Quick, quick, quick, once we go up, make me two first. I've found Uncle Destruction's crappy staff an eyesore for a long time; let's build something even more fierce than him!"
Looking at Xiao Wu, who had absolutely no God King airs, the tension in Tang Ya's heart instantly vanished.
"No problem, Sister Xiao Wu."
"As long as there are enough Materials, never mind two, I'll build two hundred for you!"
...Asura God Temple, bedchamber.
Unlike the stereotypical image of the Asura God being full of slaughter and coldness, at this moment inside the bedchamber, candlelight flickered and a warm fragrance wafted.
On the large dark-red agarwood bed that could accommodate several people, Xuan Ming lay spread-eagled, staring blankly at the ceiling painted with star maps, looking like his body had been hollowed out and his Soul had already undergone Soul Emergence.
Bibi Dong lay on her side next to him, propping her head with one hand, her wine-red long hair cascading like a waterfall over Xuan Ming's chest. She wore only a thin purple gauze as light as a cicada's wing, her perfect curves faintly visible. Her face, usually majestic and cold, now wore a lazy and playful smile.
"Is this... all you've got?"
