Chapter 599: Chapter 409 Test and Craftsmanship

"The Ark, it won’t choose a Supreme to inherit it," the Supreme of the Dao Realm said, looking at the countless figures and gently shaking his head.

This left the Supreme of the Spirit Realm somewhat astonished.

She was indeed tempted by the Ark of Salvation from the Epoch of Refinement, but she was stopped by the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

"Only those who have not yet established a direction for the Great Path can carry the core inheritance of the Epoch of Refinement. Supremes have no chance," explained the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

"The Artisan God is arguably the foremost among all of the Hundred Arts in All Heavens, so the chances are not small," remarked the Supreme of the Spirit Realm, looking towards a figure.

"Not necessarily!" sighed the Supreme of the Dao Realm, "In the crumbling Epoch, the Saint Emperor Lan Xuan, heralded as the complete inheritor of the Epoch of Refinement, still remains in this world.

Secret Forces must have made sufficient preparations for the appearance of the Ark."

Hearing this, the Supreme of the Spirit Realm couldn’t help but show a trace of worry.

Who would give up on such a weapon of war?

If the Myriad Realms could control this artifact, at least half of the threats could be eliminated.

In the crowd, two figures were also heading towards the location of the Ark.

Laozi, Yuan Shi!

In the Vast Wilderness world, there were definitely more than these two who were masters of the Hundred Arts, but these two were among the best.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was also staring at the Ark of Salvation from afar in the Vast Wilderness, scratching his face: "The Ark of Salvation, a huge vessel carrying the hopes of countless beings. In the end, it sank into the darkness, and the entire Epoch was buried.

Although it is a treasure refined later, it is capable of ranking among the top chaos treasures."

Almost all ultimate chaos treasures are born from chaos itself, but the Ark of Salvation was crafted later; its uniqueness goes without saying.

Pan Gu sat opposite Sun Wukong, pondering: "Can this ship really reach such a level, and can the Vast Wilderness control it?"

"There’s no need," Sun Wukong shook his head, then smiled and asked back, "Master, do you know why the Ark of Salvation was said to have gone out of control during the crisis of the Epoch in the Epoch of Refinement?"

Pan Gu was deep in thought; indeed, he wasn’t aware.

Although he had not experienced the Epoch of Refinement, from the Ark of Salvation, one could feel the level of craftsmanship the craftsmen of that Epoch had reached.

Even a mechanical puppet of a Supreme level could be born from their hands; what could the craftsmen of the Epoch of Refinement not create?

Their skills surpassed those of all other Epochs, reaching the pinnacle of the Hundred Arts.

But how could such beings let the Ark of Salvation go out of control?

Pan Gu could well imagine how many times those craftsmen of the Epoch of Refinement must have run simulations, gone through countless meticulous calculations...

And yet, the Ark of Salvation, which had been so precisely calculated and simulated by countless craftsmen, somehow went out of control?

This was truly baffling.

Even if in the end the Ark of Salvation was unable to withstand and was pierced through by the Darkness, that outcome would be more logical than this.

But Sun Wukong looked up at the chaos of the void, his eyes swirling with the mystery of the Great Path as if he could see everything, and finally he said softly, "The Ark of Salvation, in fact, did not go out of control."

"Not out of control?" Pan Gu was somewhat surprised.

After the Epoch of Refinement was destroyed, the stories all the Epochs received were that the Ark of Salvation went out of control and then sank in the catastrophe of the Epoch.

"The Ark of Salvation is an important artifact of an Epoch, a chaos treasure created by man," Sun Wukong paused slightly in his speech, "Its formidable destructive power is capable of killing a Supreme, and if exerted with full force, perhaps even the Darkness could be pierced through.

It can be said that the Ark of Salvation embodies the hope of the Epoch of Refinement.

The reason for its failure is that the Origin Energy needed to operate this chaos treasure was too vast, so vast that the Epoch of Refinement couldn’t satisfy its demand for Origin Energy."

When forging the Ark of Salvation, the craftsmen of the Epoch of Refinement indeed considered this issue and even created a universal converter that could transform anything in the world into Origin Energy to supply the Ark, even Darkness.

But when it was actually set into motion, they discovered that everyone had underestimated the intensity of the onslaught of the Epoch’s calamity; the transformation couldn’t keep up with the consumption, and thus the Ark of Salvation sank."

Pan Gu fell into silence.

The Ark of Salvation was the supreme treasure of the Epoch of Refinement.

Among all eighteen Epochs, it was an exceptionally legendary artifact.

To fall because of this one issue was indeed regrettable.

Sun Wukong continued, "The amount of Origin Energy required for the Ark of Salvation to penetrate a Supreme is the combined total of three Supremes’ Origin Energy. Vast Wilderness, can’t afford it!"

Pan Gu nodded and abandoned the idea of contending for the Ark of Salvation.

"I observe that among the eighteen Epochs, the Origin Epoch has the chance of Master," Sun Wukong smiled and said, "If successful, Master could use it to mend the deficiencies and ascend to Supreme."

"Then I will wait and see," Pan Gu also smiled.

Their relationship as master and disciple had not changed due to the reversal and gaps in strength.

Of course, their relationship had long since transcended that of master and disciple; they were more like Dao companions on the same path.

At the same time, strong practitioners of the Hundred Arts from various factions nearly all surged into the Ark of Salvation.

Inside this giant vessel, there were no unnecessary decorations.

Nor was it like the Halo Epoch, where one needed to explore the ruins of Epoch to find one’s own opportunities.

If the opportunity within the Halo Epoch ruins required strength and luck, then in the Epoch of Refinement ruins, it neither necessitated cultivation strength nor luck.

But the mastery of the Hundred Arts.

At this moment, a block of illusory light and shadow appeared before everyone.

The mechanical puppet Ark also appeared here.

"Welcome to the Epoch of Refinement," announced the Ark with a mechanical voice that was cold yet clear, "The test of the Epoch of Refinement is not a contest of strength or cunning planning.
