"What's happening?" One of the Player Forgers asked.
"I don't know either. This have never happened before. I feel my body burning as if I'm submerged in Hell!" Another player replied.
"I recognize this Flame. It belongs to the Head Forger. Is this it's true power?" Another Player muttered...
Inside the Advanced forging room, Xuanyuan waved his hand and a bunch of metallic materials and other materials used for forging flew into the Furnace before him as he smelted them. In less than 10 seconds, he brought out liquid metal which he condensed into the shape of an armor.
But before it solidified completely, he raised his palm and a torrent of Mana surged towards it. He disintegrated it into its elements without chaos until he began drawing arrays with specific elements.
"Go!" He shouted silently as he sent the completed array into the solidifying armor.
He stretched his palm and an ordinary Forging hammer appeared in his hand. It was the one he got when he acquired the Forger class.
He raised the Hammer and began hammering to his desired shape.
He took three steps back as he waited for the system's appraisal of the forged armor to be completed...
"My Goodness!!" The Head Forger cried as the appraisal was completed and the Armor's attributes came into view.
At the same time, Xuanyuan received a bunch of system notifications.
"Armor of Blessing" Xuanyuan muttered.

Cannot be destroyed...
Xuanyuan smiled confidently as if all this was within his expectations. With a wave of his hand, Mana surged towards the armor and it appeared in his hand under the greedy eyes of the Head Forger.
"Give me the Armor!" The Head Forger suddenly demanded.
"I don't want to. Why Should I? How much will you give me?" Xuanyuan said playfully. "Even if you give me millions of Gold coins, I won't give it to you!"
"But that was forged from my materials!" The Head Forger cried.
"And I forged it!" Xuanyuan retorted.
"You used my Flames!"
"Was your Flame that powerful?"
"I demand you give me the Armor as your Master!"
"To hell with Master!"
Xuanyuan and the Head Forger bickered for a while until the Head Forger gave up.
"Then give me the Forging design of the Armor" The Head Forger said.
"No problem" Xuanyuan replied and he gave the Design to the Head Forger.
The design is not that rare as he could easily write another one if he needs it since he's the creator...
"You've thoroughly surpassed me now" The Head Forger said afterwards. "You've nothing to learn from me any longer"
"Thank you for taking care of me, Master" Xuanyuan bowed.
"If you still want to continue on the path of Forging, I've a suggestion for you!" The Head Forger said.
"Have you ever heard of the Divine Forger?" The Head Forger.
"I read about him in books" Xuanyuan replied. "Was he a true Divine Forger?" He asked.
"No. He was only a step away from being a Divine Forger. The last Divine Forger ever seen fell thousands of years ago, during the Great War of Gods" The Head Forger replied. "He was addressed as the Divine Forger because people believed he's going to become a Divine Forger"
"But why didn't he become one?"
"He couldn't forge a Divine weapon" The Head Forger said.
In the Realm of spirituality, Divine Forgers are the symbols of the highest rank in the Path of forging. In history, the number of Divine Forgers can be counted on one hand and they all fell during the Great War of Gods.
Since then, no Divine Forger had ever appeared mainly because, to become a Divine Forger, you'd need to create a personalized Divine item. And to forge a Divine item, you'd need the Divine Energy of a Tier 6 God. That's why all the Divine Forgers in history were Gods. If the Divine Forger was able to ascend to Tier 6, he might have reached the level of a Divine Forger.
"But before he died, the Divine Forger left his legacy hoping there'd be a day when a new Divine Forger would rise from his legacy"
"Where is that legacy?" Xuanyuan asked.
"That, he didn't mention. But people believes his legacy would be in his tomb which is in Ancient Flame Empire" The Head Forger said. "I suggest you should journey and death for the legacy"
Journey to the Ancient Flame Empire and search for the Legacy of Noah, the Divine Forger.
No consequence on failure...
"I will search for the legacy" Xuanyuan promised.
"Good luck!" The Head Forger smiled.
"Good bye Master" Xuanyuan bowed and left.
"I wonder if he'll be the next Divine Forger... " The Head Forger muttered after Xuanyuan left...
