Chapter 471: The Curse of the Gods

“I need a weapon with immense destructive power, something like a gun that can attack from a distance and lock onto targets. Something capable of killing even peak-level God Ancestors,” Ye Feng said as he entered the Virtual Realm and spoke to the sky.
“The host’s domain authority is insufficient. Shall primary owner mode be activated? This will cost 100 million points of fourth-tier domain value.”
“Damn, so expensive? Is it permanent?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but curse. He only had a little over 7 billion points of fourth-tier domain value.
“It is permanent, but using advanced functions beyond authorized limits is allowed only once per day. Any further use will require special privileges.”
Ye Feng suddenly thought of another question, “Why didn’t I need to activate primary owner mode when buying free items before? Isn’t that also a privilege exclusive to primary owners?”
“That’s because purchasing items below the fourth domain doesn’t conflict with the settings of the Virtual Realm. What you’re trying to do now contradicts those settings. Only by using special privileges or activating owner mode can the settings be changed.”
Although annoyed, Ye Feng comforted himself that this activation was permanent, so he wouldn’t have to spend such exorbitant money again. “Alright, activate it!”
“100 million points of fourth-tier domain value have been deducted. Remaining fourth-tier domain value: 6.9 billion.”
“Primary owner privileges activated.”
“Item: The Curse of the Gods, created by the ancestors of Planet Taikrolegi during their technological peak. Price: 1 trillion points of fourth-tier domain value.”
“Features and descriptions: 1. Long-range attack, 2. Target locking, 3. Intelligent ownership recognition (cannot be used by others without authorization), 4. Can hold up to twelve top-tier divine crystals, 5. Three-second cooldown per use, 6. Attack intensity can be adjusted using mental power; up to three top-tier divine crystals can be used at once, 7. Each set of three top-tier divine crystals can eliminate one peak-level God Ancestor.”
“It seems pretty good,” Ye Feng said, looking at the virtual image of the gun-like weapon, shaking his head with a wry smile. “But it’s too expensive. I can’t afford it. Are there any others?”
“The domain master’s authority is insufficient. Would you like to use the privilege of purchasing beyond rank limits to check?”
“There are probably many items available in the fifth domain, but they likely won’t be cheaper than this,” Ye Feng frowned. 1 trillion points of fourth-tier domain value—equivalent to just 1 billion in the fifth domain—so he definitely wouldn’t be able to get anything good.
“As a primary owner of the Virtual Realm, you have the privilege to view derived information about items. Would you like to view the derived information for The Curse of the Gods?”

“Derivative information?” Ye Feng was momentarily stunned before realizing what it was. “It’s worth a look. I agree to check it!”
“The manufacturing blueprint for Curse of the Gods costs 1% of the finished product’s price, which is 10 billion fourth-order domain values. After purchase, 1,000 units of this weapon can be manufactured, after which the blueprint disappears automatically.”
“Damn, I can’t even afford this!” Ye Feng couldn’t help cursing again. 6.9 billion and 10 billion were not that different, but the gap between them couldn’t be made up in a short time.
“Wait, I should be able to rent it, right?” Ye Feng suddenly remembered this.
“You can choose to rent the blueprint, which can only be used to manufacture the weapon once. The rental fee for one use is 100 million fourth-order domain values.”
“Alright, renting it 1,000 times would cost 10 billion, ten times the price of buying it directly…” Ye Feng hadn’t traded with the Virtual Realm for some time, and this transaction reminded him of the exploitative times when he first came into contact with it.
“Rent it twice,” Ye Feng placed a new order.
“Two rentals of the manufacturing blueprint for Curse of the Gods, minus 200 million fourth-order domain values, leaving 6.7 billion fourth-order domain values.”
After the mechanical voice faded, two unremarkable sheets of paper appeared in Ye Feng’s hands, feeling metallic to the touch.
Looking at the blank sheets, Ye Feng roughly knew what to do. He immediately poured his mental energy into them.
He sensed his soul descending into a special space where people were working on creating Curse of the Gods. From the selection of materials, the technology used, the entire manufacturing process, to the final product, he saw everything clearly.
“I see…” After observing the entire process, Ye Feng’s mental energy returned to his own sea of consciousness. “The power of technology can even reach the heavens, capable of unleashing the power of rules…”
“By this logic, I can create even more powerful weapons.” Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly. “I have plenty of remnants of sacred artifacts as raw materials, which are far better than the artificial materials they use with technology. Moreover, my understanding of rules is far superior to that of the manufacturer. Additionally, I have a pseudo-virtual treasure cauldron that can help me manufacture these things, compressing decades of production time into just one day…”
Leaving the Virtual Realm, Ye Feng went straight to the Liuluan Hall and summoned that pseudo-virtual treasure-level giant cauldron.

“Jiufang, help me check if what’s on this blueprint can be made.” Ye Feng looked at the giant cauldron—Jiufang was its name.
“After checking, there’s no issue on my end. The key lies with you.” After a moment, the massive cauldron emitted a deep voice. “To make this thing effective, the most important thing is to use arrays to channel the power of laws, and only you can do that.”
“No problem. I’ll guide the power of laws. You just need to tell me when to input it. I’ve already decided that wind attribute laws and space attribute laws will be sufficient,” Ye Feng nodded.
“I’ve also examined the composition of those materials. It’s a clever combination—those alloys are no worse than most metals in the Divine Realm,” Jiufang continued. “The most important ones are those resistant to wear and heat.”
Ye Feng took out a large amount of sacred artifact residues with ice attributes from his ring.
“Throw in that shiny silver one and that dark black one over there,” Jiufang instructed Ye Feng.
Ye Feng threw the damaged sacred artifacts in as directed.
Those sacred artifacts quickly melted inside Jiufang’s cauldron, turning into liquids of different colors. Then, in a strange manner, they condensed to form a new material.
The new material writhed continuously, dividing into dozens of parts, large and small, before turning into various components. Those components quickly assembled automatically into a gun-like weapon similar to a sand eagle.
“Input the arrays!” Jiufang urged immediately.
Ye Feng swiftly formed secret patterns on his fingertips and inputted them all. Ninety-nine wind attribute secret patterns and nine space attribute secret patterns were all he could think of.
Powers of immense pressure emanated from the cauldron, and even Ye Feng felt the strong pressure, which further indicated the extraordinary power of the weapon about to be created.
“The power of laws brought by your seals just now is too much. I need some time to nurture it so it fully aligns with those laws,” Jiufang spoke again after a while. “By then, you can come in and get the weapon directly.”
“How long will it take to be ready?” Ye Feng asked anxiously.
“At least a month.”
“Alright. I’ll ask Liuluan to speed up time by a thousand times,” Ye Feng nodded. “That way, I can get it as early as tomorrow morning.”
