Listening to the crackling sounds from downstairs, Roy's divine sense spread out, and he saw Chris bustling about, unsure of what she was fiddling with. He shook his head and ignored her.
The young girl, in her teens, was clearly doted upon before coming here. She was just a bit too gentle in disposition.
However, this might suit the profound mysteries of the Water element Laws, giving her an advantage in aspects of "Water element" and "gentle fluidity" laws.
But it wouldn't fit well with dominant profound mysteries like "Ice's Sharpness" or "Waves."
If Chris's personality couldn't become independent and strong in the future, Roy could confidently assert that her limit would be that of a God.
After taking in the maids from the Four Divine Beast Family, Roy planned to settle down and cultivate until the family made their "big move."
Of course, before that, Roy intended to forge a "Divine Artifact" for himself.
In the world of Panlong, when "Divine Artifacts" were initially forged, regardless of the material, their power would be similar as long as the forging was successful.
However, a "Divine Artifact" would gradually improve in the hands of its owner through their experiences.
A Divine Artifact would accompany its owner through battles, killing enemies and drinking their blood to enhance its power. It would become one with its master's will and be frequently nurtured by the owner's divine power and soul power, thus increasing its power more rapidly.
Roy had been a god for over ten thousand years. Although he was already a High-level God, he still didn't have a suitable "Divine Artifact" in his hands.
Coincidentally, the spatial ring given by Gaisleith contained not only Sovereign Power but also some materials for forging Divine Artifacts.
Roy was currently contemplating what kind of Divine Artifact he needed.
The "Divine Artifacts" in the world of Panlong were all very simple in design.
Offensive Divine Artifacts were swords, spears, sabers, halberds, or whips.
Defensive Divine Artifacts were uniformly armor.
Soul-defense Divine Artifacts were mostly rings and necklaces.
However, Roy found all these Divine Artifacts to be somewhat inconvenient.
For many years, Roy's main cultivation had been comprehending and merging Laws. His combat style leaned towards that of a mage, and he wasn't proficient in close combat.
Forging swords, spears, sabers, or halberds might be fun, but in a real fight, he would likely be flustered himself.
For defensive armor, he had elementalization, and Roy didn't think he would need it.
Soul-defense Divine Artifacts were something he could consider, but Roy had simulated a cultivation technique for when heavenly laws descended within his soul space. He didn't believe this technique's soul defense would be inferior to a soul-defense Divine Artifact.
So, what would be the most suitable Divine Artifact for him?
Thoughts raced through Roy's mind, and various divine weapons appeared and were then dismissed.
Weapons requiring intricate manipulation were not suitable for him.
Finally, the image of a supreme treasure appeared in Roy's mind.
With inspiration struck, Roy didn't hesitate. Materials flew out of the spatial ring one by one, hammered, merged, and shaped by Roy's powerful divine power.
The terrifying fluctuations of divine power made Chris, who was cleaning on the first floor, tremble.
She thought she had made a mess of the first floor and angered Elder Roy, so she quickly admitted her mistake loudly: "I'm sorry, Elder Roy, I, I will work hard, please don't send me back, please believe me, I will definitely clean this place up."
However, Roy's mind was completely immersed in forging his own Divine Artifact and he didn't notice the little maid's actions at all.
After some time passed, and not hearing Elder Roy's reprimand, Chris bravely looked up towards the second floor, towards the room where Roy was in seclusion. Seeing that the fluctuations of divine power hadn't changed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, you scared me to death…"
Gently patting her chest, Chris looked at the messy first floor and found herself in a quandary.
When she saw Sharleen and Kelly at home, they made it look so easy. Why was it so difficult for her?
Was the castle where the elder resided hundreds of times harder to clean than her own home castle?
Chris nodded slightly.
It seemed that only this reason could explain it.
After all, he was an elder. If his residence were so easy to clean, Ancestor Tia wouldn't have sent her here.
Come on, you can do it, Chris!
...
Time passed, and little maid Chris's housekeeping skills gradually improved.
Meanwhile, the divine power fluctuations on the second floor grew stronger as time went by.
Fortunately, Roy remembered that there was a little maid from the Saint Realm in the house and controlled the dissipation of his divine power very well. Otherwise, the might of a High-level God was not something a mere Saint Realm could withstand.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
At a certain moment, dull bell sounds suddenly emanated from Roy's room.
As the bell sounds spread, the castle where Roy was located suddenly emitted a faint blue light.
The buildings in the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range were constructed with magic formations inscribed in them, capable of defending against several attacks from God-level experts to prevent accidental damage.
However, under the sound of the bell, the light emitted by the castle flickered precariously, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Fortunately, the bell only rang three times. If it had rung a few more times, this castle would likely have been ruined.
Of course, even though the house wasn't destroyed, the little maid who was woken up rubbed her sleepy eyes and seemed to realize what had happened. She quickly resumed cleaning the first-floor hall.
As she tidied up, she murmured softly.
"I'm sorry, Elder Roy, I didn't mean to fall asleep..."
However, after muttering a few words, the little maid's hand wiping the table slowed down, and her head started to nod. Finally, she just stopped there. If you listened carefully, you could hear faint snores.
...
"Good..."
In the room, Roy smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the "Divine Artifact" he had refined.
It was a bell that stood three meters tall, entirely a profound yellow color, with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars decorating its exterior. Inside the bell, Roy had also engraved bas-reliefs of the four divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
That's right, the Divine Artifact Roy had refined was this grand bell!
Its prototype was the Chaos Bell, a Primordial Supreme Treasure from the Great Desolation world in Roy's memory.
Of course, this Divine Artifact that Roy had just refined was still several dimensions away from the Chaos Bell.
However, this Divine Artifact had completely met Roy's requirements.
"I have aspirations to soar through the clouds, and I wish you to accompany me in shattering the nine heavens, shining eternally like the stars."
"Thus, your name shall be the Star Bell."
"Buzz!"
As if understanding Roy's words, the profound yellow great bell vibrated slightly, as if responding to him.
There was no blood-dripping recognition of ownership, yet Roy could feel that he and the Star Bell could communicate telepathically.
With a single thought, the Star Bell seemed to sense Roy's intention and instantly transformed into a profound yellow light, merging into Roy's body. Furthermore, a semi-transparent Star Bell flew from Roy's body into his soul space, transforming into a massive, translucent profound yellow great bell that enveloped Roy's soul.
"It's done!"
Seeing this, Roy clenched his fists, almost letting out a laugh.
The soul defense Divine Artifact from the Panlong world was primarily refined using soul power.
Therefore, Roy had also incorporated a large amount of soul power when refining the Star Bell.
As such, the Star Bell was naturally also a soul defense Divine Artifact.
Having successfully refined his own Divine Artifact, Roy was in high spirits. He opened his door and walked out of the room.
Then, he froze.
In the first-floor hall, Chris was standing by a table, leaning on it with her left hand, holding a rag in her right, standing quietly.
With Roy's strength, it was not difficult to hear Chris's snores.
Shaking his head, Roy did not disturb Chris. His body transformed into a streak of yellow light and disappeared from the castle.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
On the arena in the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range, two figures crisscrossed in the air, streaks of fire and lightning intertwining, erupting with tremendous roars.
Below the arena, more than fifty people with powerful auras watched the two battle, offering their critiques.
...
The four hundred words owed from a few days ago have been made up today.
