Chapter 518 Hosting the Peak Genius Battle?
You have way too much faith in me, don't you? It's making me a little embarrassed.
The Lord of Chaos City was able to gather all the materials because he possessed three divine bodies, was very powerful, and had an avatar that had been venturing into the cosmic sea.
He was either joking when he said that, or he really had gathered all the materials. Since materials weren't particularly precious and weren't of much use to the other powerful members of the clan, the Chaos City Lord wouldn't deliberately hand them over to the treasury.
But you actually went and collected all the materials for the most powerful treasure? I haven't even started crafting my top-tier treasure yet.
Zhou Ze was speechless; this Ice Peak Lord was truly an oddball...
The other universe lords also looked at the Ice Peak Lord in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment, only feeling that the Ice Peak Lord's behavior was really outrageous.
Even if you want to collect materials, you should at least wait until Zhou Ze can refine a top-tier treasure. Right now, he can't even refine a top-tier treasure.
The Lord of Ice Peak simply smiled and remained silent in the face of everyone's gazes, yet he could guess what they were thinking from their eyes.
Let alone when Zhou Ze is able to refine the most powerful treasures, even now, because Zhou Ze can exchange treasures for refining materials, the price of various refining materials has increased significantly, not to mention in the future.
If we don't collect them now, when will we?
"It seems I have some materials that I don't usually like, so I'll have to put in some effort to collect them..." Giant Axe glanced at Zhou Ze and the Lord of Ice Peak, thinking to himself.
Not only the founder of the giant axe, but many cosmic lords also held this idea.
Refining artifacts is extremely difficult. Let alone refining the most powerful treasures, even refining the pinnacle treasures is something that no one in the entire primordial universe has ever been able to do.
However, Zhou Ze really could do it. Not to mention that Zhou Ze was able to refine a high-grade treasure in less than an era... He himself is a miraculous existence, having accomplished something that many people cannot even imagine.
Whether it's how he became a being comparable to the strongest in the universe in just a few eras, or his miraculous guidance ability, all of these are far more unexpected than the fact that he will be able to forge the most powerful treasure in the future.
"Holy Master, we are both members of the human race, could you also help me forge an ultimate treasure?"
"Holy Master, could you also forge one for me? I'll try my best to reward you!"
"Holy Master, I dare not even dream of the most powerful treasures. Could you perhaps forge me a pinnacle flying palace treasure? I'm willing to offer double the forging materials..."
This is insane! At this moment, many universe lords are begging Zhou Ze for help. Regardless of the future, they all want to make a decision now. Anyway, if Zhou Ze can't do it in the future, he won't lose anything. But if he can, they will make a fortune.
Zhou Ze said helplessly, "Don't worry, when that day comes, everyone here will get one. I'll forge one for each of you for free, okay?"
For Zhou Ze, the first item is usually the most time-consuming to forge. After that, forging other treasures of the same level becomes much easier. Even forging one for the twenty-odd people present for free is not a difficult task.
Seeing that Zhou Ze had agreed, everyone smiled.
"However, you shouldn't have too high hopes. I only study weapon crafting in my spare time. My main focus is on comprehending the laws and secret techniques."
Zhou Ze said slowly:
"If you keep staring at me, you're going to be disappointed..."
The powerful figures responded in unison:
"It's alright, we can wait!"
"Holy Master, if you've become interested, you can study weapon crafting when you're bored."
The powerful figures disagreed, mainly because Zhou Ze had refined a high-grade treasure in less than an epoch. With trillions of epochs of time, even if he only used fragmented time to refine the artifact, he could definitely reach an unimaginable level.
……
After the Supreme Council meeting concluded, the Lord of Ice Peak privately approached Zhou Ze to express his apologies:
"Holy Master, I'm so sorry, things got a bit out of hand just now!"
Zhou Ze said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. Anyway, I brought up the cause of the matter myself, and Giant Axe just followed up by asking me about it."
"Besides, when that day comes, apart from the first one being a bit troublesome and time-consuming to forge, the difference between dozens or hundreds of other pieces won't be that significant to me..."
With Zhou Ze at full overclocking speed, and with his comprehension and perception speed, as long as he can successfully refine a top-level treasure, a peak treasure, or even a supreme treasure, refining other treasures of the same level will be much faster.
Moreover, the refining speed increases with each refinement, which is why Zhou Ze dared to agree to refine one for all the universe lords for free, provided that they prepare the raw materials themselves.
After exchanging a few words with the Lord of Ice Peak, Zhou Ze logged off, only to be greeted by the Lord of Chaos City. Zhou Ze brewed a pot of tea to entertain him, and after a while, asked:
"Senior Chaos, what brings you here? Is it about weapon crafting?"
The Lord of Chaos smiled slightly and said, "No, you said before that I naturally wouldn't put pressure on you..."
"Senior Chaos, what brings you here? Is it about weapon crafting?"
The Lord of Chaos smiled slightly and said, "No, you said before that I naturally wouldn't put pressure on you..."
"Then why did you come here...?" Zhou Ze looked at the Lord of Chaos City with slight confusion.
The Lord of Chaos City spoke up: "Zhou Ze, you've never presided over a battle of peak geniuses before, have you?"
"Uh..." Zhou Ze didn't expect the Chaos City Lord to bring this up: "No..."
The Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "How about it? Want to try it out?"
Zhou Ze immediately became interested: "Me too? Isn't it usually the Universe Venerable who presides over this?"
"There are no explicit rules. It's just that for the supreme rulers of the universe, even a peerless genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs is nothing more than a fleeting cloud in their eyes."
"After all, even the strongest genius is not guaranteed to break through to immortality, nor is he very confident in becoming a cosmic venerable, let alone a cosmic lord... Only geniuses with even the slightest chance of becoming cosmic lords will be taken in as disciples by cosmic lords in their spare time."
Zhou Ze considered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm free anyway, but the assessment has to be done according to my plan..."
The Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "This is a small matter. You are now a figure in our clan comparable to the Giant Axe, and the recognized second strongest person in the universe. You need to change your mindset. Hehe, you can decide this small matter yourself."
……
After the Lord of Chaos City left, Zhou Ze remained silent for a while, sighing inwardly:
"I never thought I'd be hosting the Peak Genius Battle one day. Life is unpredictable, it's really interesting. I wonder if Luo Feng will ever host a Genius Battle in the future. Probably not. Luo Feng's speed in raising his strength to the level of the strongest in the universe is not much slower than mine."
"Moreover, given Luo Feng's personality, he always prioritizes self-improvement and has no interest in these trivial matters..."
In fact, this is true for the vast majority of universe masters. Only a small number of universe masters are interested in these matters. The reason why universe masters generally have disciples is due to the unwritten rules of their races.
