"You don't need to thank me! In Fact, I should be the one thanking you this time. I never expected that there would be such a path in the crafting of Sacred Cloths!" Jamil exclaimed with deep emotion.
At this moment, his feelings were extremely complicated. As someone who specialized in crafting various weapons, he had never imagined that such a method existed.
Although the Sacred Cloths crafted this way couldn't reach the level of divine artifacts, they held the potential to evolve into Demi-God-tier weapons, and this was almost the limit of what humans could create.
To Jamil, nothing could be more important than this.
The look he gave Jiang Chen now also carried a new sense of respect and change.
"Still, thank you for your help! If it weren't for the Sacred Cloth you crafted specially for me, I don't know how much longer it would've taken me to break through to the Seventh Sense! As a token of gratitude, let me treat some of the hidden injuries in your body!" Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, then solemnly spoke.
He raised his right hand, and a faint silvery-gray energy began to spread over Jamil.
"No need… Wait, what's this?" Jamil instinctively started to refuse, but then his pupils widened, and he looked at Jiang Chen in shock. Because at this very moment, he felt that his once-aged body was now overflowing with vigorous vitality again.
At the same time, his mind became sharper and clearer.
Even the Cosmo within him, once dormant and withering, now showed signs of revival.
Jamil dared not be careless. He immediately sat cross-legged and entered a state of meditation.
"Father!" Melchaba couldn't help but speak out, but he was interrupted by Jiang Chen.
"Let's go. Lord Jamil will need some time to wake up." Jiang Chen smiled as he spoke.
"Oh, I understand, I think!" Melchaba instinctively nodded before he followed Jiang Chen out.
Jiang Chen looked at Melchaba at this moment, his expression slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected that the first Aries Gold Saint Warrior would actually be someone he already knew.
But then, thinking of the other person's background, Jiang Chen understood.
From a future perspective, Aries had always been tied to the remnants of Mu Continent. It made perfect sense that the Aries Gold Sacred Cloth would choose Melchaba.
"Make sure you deeply comprehend the Sacred Cloth you now own. The secrets within it are far more than just what you've seen." Jiang Chen reminded him.
"Understood!" Melchaba nodded excitedly.
After donning the Gold Sacred Cloth, he could clearly feel that he had grown stronger so he had no doubt about Jiang Chen's words. At this moment, Jiang Chen led Melchaba away from the forge and returned to the Sanctuary where they had been earlier.
But as soon as they arrived, they immediately noticed many Saint Warriors around them with anxious expressions on their faces.
"What's going on?" Seeing the tense looks on the people nearby, Melchaba's expression also grew serious.
"Asclepius, wait here. I'll go ask!" Melchaba said quickly.
Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
In the next moment, Melchaba's figure vanished.
Moments later, Melchaba returned.
"What happened?" Jiang Chen looked toward him.
"Damn it, it's those cursed Sea Warriors from Poseidon again!" Melchaba replied angrily.
"Sea Warriors!" Jiang Chen's heart stirred as he instantly understood the situation.
At this point in time, the only one truly at war with Athena was Poseidon, the Sea God. No other spiritual gods had gotten involved in this mess yet. After all, this version of Athena had not yet ascended as the full Goddess of the Earth, there was little interest in her from other divine forces.
The Sanctuary where Athena resided was also located at the edge of the land so almost no one paid any attention to it.
As for Poseidon, It was purely Poseidon looking for trouble himself.
Over a hundred years ago, the Sanctuary was still in a time of peace. Athena resided there as well and did not participate in any Holy Wars. Because her father was Zeus, the Divine King, no one dared cause her trouble.
But clearly, unexpected things always happen.
Back then, Athena, as the goddess of chastity and light, was radiant, brilliant, and elegant in every way. As the Goddess of Wisdom and one of the three virgin goddesses of ancient Greece, she possessed the purest priestess on Earth.
That priestess at the time was named Medusa.
Medusa had once been a pure, lively, and beautiful girl. She had two elder sisters, Stheno and Euryale. Among the three sisters, Medusa was the only one with a mortal body.
However, one day, due to an unfortunate incident, Poseidon visited the Sanctuary and Athena happened to be absent from her temple, and Poseidon encountered Medusa instead.
Within Athena's own temple, Poseidon violated Medusa.
This act triggered the Sanctuary's curse, and Medusa was transformed into a terrifying monster.
When Athena returned, a fearsome war broke out between her and Poseidon. In the end, Poseidon was forced to retreat, but Athena was gravely wounded.
From that moment on, a blood feud was born.
And so the war, which began more than a century ago, has continued to erupt again and again. The battles between Sea Warriors and Saints have only escalated and spread ever wider.
In fact, as time went on, the conflict not only failed to subside, it grew more intense. By now, it has reached a point of nearly endless undead conflict. Most of the injuries sustained by the Saints today are a result of their battles against the Sea Warriors.
After all, compared to the Sea Warriors, the Saints are inferior in both equipment and power. Especially the seven Sea Generals, for most Saints, they are practically unbeatable opponents.
"Bastards! Those bastards actually dare to come again!" Melchaba was filled with rage as he spoke.
His figure was about to dash out, but was quickly grabbed and held back by Jiang Chen.
"Asclepius!" Melchaba called out instinctively, his gaze locking on Jiang Chen.
"Rushing out now won't help anything. Come with me!" After a moment of thought, Jiang Chen spoke.
Melchaba looked confused but still followed Jiang Chen to a distant location.
Before long, they arrived at Jiang Chen's residence.
"Asclepius, those guys went too far! I must settle this with them!" Melchaba couldn't hold back his anger.
"With your current strength, there's nothing you can do. Focus on comprehending the Aries Gold Sacred Cloth! I will guide your Cosmo." Jiang Chen said in a low voice.
"Comprehend the Aries Gold Sacred Cloth?" Melchaba looked puzzled.
"Yes. If you can fully draw out the power of the Gold Sacred Cloth, you should be able to handle the Sea Warriors." Jiang Chen nodded and spoke in a serious voice.
"Really?" Melchaba's eyes lit up, excitement in his tone.
"Of course!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
From the Mythical Era, the combat armor known as the Sacred Cloth had never been destroyed, so one could imagine its hardness and defense.
