The reason she could directly enter Blue Star back then was also because she was born on Blue Star! She was a recognized local!
She suddenly realized!
Reaching this point, everything felt like a dream.
Long Li Xing remained silent, her eyes filled with complexity and a hint of relief.
Looking up, her gaze met Jin Bao'er's.
In an instant, they both understood each other's thoughts. After a moment of stunned silence, they smiled slightly.
Destiny. It's truly hard to explain sometimes!
But she also felt fortunate because she met this person.
Fei Xi'er held the specially made tinplate book in his hand, his eyes fixed on Jin Bao'er, filled with a hint of hope.
"You wish to obtain the divine sword? Do you know what that signifies?! Mother said it is the lifelong pursuit of all Blue Star people!"
Tens of thousands of years of time and planning were for a single divine sword! A divine sword that could awe the divine race!
Perhaps, as a refiner himself, he also wanted to try!
Jin Bao'er noticed his expression, her face gradually becoming serious.
"Yes, I understand!"
At her words, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stared intensely at Jin Bao'er, his powerful body trembling with intense hatred and rage. His voice, as if from the depths of his soul, was thick with emotion and unwavering conviction.
"I can help you forge the divine sword, but I have only one condition... Help me get revenge! For the bastard who ruined my mother's entire life!! I will kill him with my own hands!"
Jin Bao'er looked at him steadily. Although she didn't know what had happened, she believed that this timid and insecure man wouldn't say such things based on a mere diary entry.
"Alright!"
She responded softly. In a way, Fei Xi'er's mother had also been kind to her. Otherwise, she might have grown up under the care of that mad dean, and her experiences would likely have been far more terrifying.
Those people on Blue Star... would sooner or later face punishment for their desires!
Upon receiving her reply, Fei Xi'er trembled, and his breathing gradually stabilized. When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with the fervor and excitement of a master refiner.
"The materials? I sensed it just now, the Supreme Yang Fire is in your hands, isn't it?"
She nodded and handed over the items again. The black iron ball remained a still, dark red. Anyone with even a modicum of divine sense could discern the terrifying aura it emanated!
Fei Xi'er took it, and began to caress the iron ball. His rough, calloused hands moved over it as if touching a lover, with an excited yet tender gentleness.
Jin Bao'er felt a pang of nervousness.
"How is it? Do you have confidence?"
It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but there was only so much fire and only one iron ball. If anything went wrong, it would be too late!
Any other refiner would likely be offended by such blatant doubt, but Fei Xi'er was unfazed. He gazed at the iron ball with obsession, his voice firm.
"Seven or eight out of ten!"
This was the highest degree of certainty he could give! After all, there were still many unpredictable factors involved.
Jin Bao'er's expression tightened. A large hand gently grasped hers, soothing her emotions with a calm and inexplicable warmth.
"Believe in it..."
This "it" referred not to Fei Xi'er, but to the iron ball itself! For Jin Bao'er, the iron ball had helped her several times. When she was searching for the Eternal Sky Flowing Fire, if it hadn't been for the iron ball, she might not have returned. Her concern was rooted in practical experience.
She pursed her lips and then nodded gently.
Her gaze towards Fei Xi'er was filled with sincere earnestness.
"Please!"
Fei Xi'er couldn't understand why such a powerful woman would care so much about an elemental embodiment. He stared at her, stunned, then subconsciously nodded.
A moment later, Jin Bao'er turned and walked away. Only then did Fei Xi'er look down at the red iron ball in his hand, his eyes gleaming.
"Can humans and spirits truly have feelings?"
The black iron ball, seemingly unaware, still rotated slightly to respond. The sudden movement startled Fei Xi'er, but after recovering, a smile of release spread across his face.
After handing over the items to Fei Xi'er, Jin Bao'er began to clear out the other outsiders from the Dwarf Continent.
Long Li Xing, following her, suddenly couldn't help but speak.
"Aren't you worried about Fei Xi'er's identity?"
Jin Bao'er paused, then continued to move forward, her voice soft.
"His eyes... are very real!"
That kind of affection and heartache for his birth mother, and his anger and sorrow towards destiny, couldn't be faked! Only those who had personally experienced it could truly understand.
Soon, the Dwarf Continent returned to peace! All outsiders were driven away.
Jin Bao'er traversed the entire continent, placing various spirit stones and items needed for defensive arrays. In just two days, a transparent halo surged from the spirit tree into the sky, then spread outward from the horizon. Where it passed, light enveloped everything.
However, upon reaching the sea, it vanished completely.
Everything seemed unchanged, but from the outside, it appeared as a sea covered in white mist, with nothing visible.
To give Fei Xi'er enough time and space to refine, Jin Bao'er and Long Li Xing set up a barrier at the foot of the mountain, forbidding any living beings or dwarves from approaching.
Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye!
The temperature on the Dwarf Continent rose day by day, and the atmospheric pressure became increasingly noticeable. All the dwarves dared not even leave their homes!
At the foot of a certain mountain, a woman in white stood quietly on a tree branch, her gaze as calm as water as she looked towards the cave on the distant mountain. The surrounding heat seemed to have no effect on her, not even a drop of sweat on her brow.
The hot wind rustled her clothes, but she remained composed, unmoving.
A dark shadow approached rapidly.
"Are you worried?"
The man leaned against another large tree, his expression cool and carelessly nonchalant. Only when his gaze fell upon the woman did a hint of helplessness appear.
He wasn't not worried, but he knew worrying was useless! Moreover, as the temperature continued to rise and no explosions were heard from the cave, it indicated that everything was stable.
Jin Bao'er turned her head slightly to look at him, her expression complex.
"The divine sword is your first innate weapon! And, the iron ball is not truly Ten-Thousand-Year Red Iron..."
The iron ball itself possessed spiritual consciousness, meaning the divine sword would be born with intelligence. Coupled with its existing connection with Long Li Xing, it would undoubtedly be extraordinary!
Given this, could she not be worried? The sword manual didn't mention that Red Iron required intelligence!
Long Li Xing understood, but as one of the primal origins of the world's consciousness, the iron ball's significance was actually more noble than Ten-Thousand-Year Red Iron.
However, he couldn't tell Jin Bao'er, because even he didn't know how he knew. It was a sudden, unshakeable certainty.
At this moment, all the powerful beings in the universe were searching for their whereabouts, especially after the divine race revealed the world they came from, everyone was attempting to locate, calculate, and divine their position!
