Richard walked towards the hammer. It looked ordinary, just like a common forging hammer, with perhaps a few extra patterns resembling Damascus steel.

But for some reason, the moment Richard saw the hammer, he felt it was meant for him.

As he took the hammer from the slightly comical ghost craftsman, Richard immediately felt a weight like a mountain. But quickly, this unwieldy heaviness turned into the most comfortable weight for Richard.

The Great Elder approached Richard and said with a hint of pride, "The Boundary Annihilation Stone is a good thing. Its resilience can achieve many feats that conventional materials cannot.

Can you guess what I did to this hammer to meet your requirements?"

Richard said nothing, merely looking quietly at the information that appeared before him.

[Material: Forging Hammer made by Ghost Craftsman]

[Extractable Information: Forging Hammer Blueprint]

[Refining Consumption: 500 spiritual power]

"What did you do?"

Richard dismissed the Miracle Furnace's message. Although directly extracting would give him more detailed information, it would be somewhat disrespectful since the Great Elder had already asked.

These ghost craftsmen's skills are so exceptional that if there's a chance in the future, every Dominator of the Wizard Alliance should have a piece of the ghost craftsman's work.

It's really not worth causing dissatisfaction over such a small matter.

"Heh heh," the Great Elder chuckled proudly, "I simulated a world inside this hammer using rules!"

Simulated a world using rules!?

Upon hearing this, Richard's eyes widened instantly. He wasn't pretending—he was genuinely amazed by the Great Elder's technology.

"You mean to say, you used rules to simulate a pure world? And then you put that world inside my hammer!?"

The Great Elder nodded.

"That's right. I used the Boundary Annihilation Stone as the skeleton of the world and constructed a simulated world inside your hammer with rules. The weight of this world will increase with the addition of the Four Elements, and its internal rules can also assist you in casting magic, perfectly meeting all your needs!"

Richard took a sharp breath, looking at the Great Elder as if he were a monster.

"You... you are truly a master, no, a master among masters!"

Using rules to simulate a world was proven feasible by the Shaping Energy Crown, but even the Shaping Energy Crown only succeeded that one time.

Simulating the rules of a world is extremely complex; apart from the basic rules, a world also needs numerous additional rules for weaving and evolution—that's the only way it can be considered a world.

After accidentally achieving truth, the Shaping Energy Crown always wanted to create a simulated world without relying on Dimensional Authority, solely with personal strength.

But until now, the most successful creation was only the World Mirror, which requires reflecting a world to build one.

Indeed, the World Mirror is actually the Shaping Energy Crown's creation, and the Alchemy Crown merely added a bit of practical modification.

Including the Soul Mysterious Realm and World Mirror, most of the truth magic equipment in the Wizard World were actually modified by the Alchemy Crown on the basis of other crowns.

And, their effect wasn't as miraculous as Richard had heard during his ordinary wizard days.

But this hammer in front of him was different.

If there truly was a simulated world within this hammer, it could almost be called a Divine Artifact.

What material in this world could compare to a world?

"Haha, I wasn't boasting back then." The Great Elder said with some pride, "But sadly, this thing isn't perfect in this world.

A simulated world is ultimately a simulated world. While the Boundary Annihilation Stone is powerful, it's not limitless.

If there could be a World Seed as the core of this simulated world, then this hammer would truly be perfect.

But unfortunately, World Seeds are hard to come by. Even I don't have one..."

The Great Elder stopped mid-sentence, stunned. Richard suddenly pulled out a Crystal Ball from his pocket, and inside was a world seed that hadn't germinated!

"Master, is this what you wanted?" Richard asked with a smile.

The Great Elder said nothing, but silently accepted the Crystal Ball, carefully examining it.

After confirming he wasn't mistaken, the Great Elder marveled, "...I can't believe it. Though you're young, your collection is unexpectedly rich. You even have a World Seed."

World Seeds only emerge after the death of Star Realm whales. But these magnificent star beings are favorites of the Star Realm, with regular individuals' lifespans rivaling that of Dominators. The strong among them can live even longer.

Moreover, the death of wild Star Realm whales is often collective, so they choose vast areas as their graves.

What is more vast in the Star Realm than the Black Domain among World Communities?

Of course, the Great Elder was unaware that the Shepherd Star Titan had already mastered the technology to mature Star Realm whales. Even the World Master could witness the growth and demise of Star Realm whales.

"This thing is nice, even though it's weaker than the World Seeds I've seen, it's still a World Seed."

Saying this, the Great Elder took the hammer from Richard's hand.

"Wait here for a few days while I integrate this seed inside."

The Great Elder's voice had a bit of excitement. Ghost craftsmen are still craftsmen; they have their own pursuits.

No craftsman with ambition would refuse the opportunity to create a perfect masterpiece.

"Master, hold on." Richard smiled, "I have something good too."

As he spoke, the Power of Dimension within Richard's body started surging, with a tidal wave of Dimensional Authority continuously woven within him. Soon, a thread appeared in Richard's hand.

"Master, take a look at this."

The Great Elder looked at the thread in Richard's hands, and his sketch-like eyes suddenly widened with numerous eyes!

"What... What is this thing? What kind of dimensional treasure is this? No, no, this is a man-made object, created just now!"

As an experienced ghost craftsman who has seen countless treasures, the Great Elder's intuition told him this was an exceptional item.

The skill embodied in this thread even surpasses all his creations.

Richard smiled and explained, "This is the dimensional line technology from another world's civilization; this thread can be considered a degraded Illusionary Dimension. Master, why don't you ponder over it too?"

The craftsmanship of the Great Elder far exceeds any Dominator Richard has ever seen.

It would be a shame not to put this to use.

The Great Elder accepted the thread from Richard's hand, his facial expression continuously shifting.

"Hmm... You've really given me a puzzle here." The Great Elder said, somewhat troubled, "It's very good, excellent actually. If used alone, this works well with a simulated world.

But if you want to pair it with a World Seed, the difficulty skyrockets.

Even I would need quite some time to figure it out. You need to be sure you have enough time."

Richard laughed at these words.

"Master, you don't need to worry about that. I still haven't used the Civilization Treasure Hammer yet. Until you've figured it out, I'll use that hammer against formidable enemies."

"Indeed," the Great Elder nodded slightly.

"In that case, you just wait. Once I've figured it out, I'll inform you. Also, I suspect I'll have some questions for you in the meantime, so be prepared."

Richard replied immediately, "No problem. If you have any queries, feel free to ask me anytime. However... you'll need to let me use that hammer first."

"Hmm?" The Great Elder was a bit puzzled, "Don't you have the Civilization Treasure Hammer?"

Richard smiled awkwardly, "I need to use this hammer to pass a trial, so I can obtain that hammer."

The Great Elder raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on his face.

"So you haven't actually gotten your hands on that hammer yet."

Richard laughed aloud, took the hammer, and promptly departed from the Monster World.

Returning to the Endless Dimension, Richard grasped the hammer and gave it a slight swing. The immense kinetic energy from swinging the hammer head nearly caused the Void to ripple.

Richard toyed with his new weapon, the excitement in his eyes almost dancing.

"With this hammer, it should be enough to pass the Titan Trial."

...

Furnace Man Dimension.

The scorching Burning Wind swept over the land in waves, blending with flames.

On the vast plain, countless Furnace Men with charred bodies wandered aimlessly. As the Burning Wind blew, echoes of harrowing wails resounded across the plain.

Everything remained the same as ever.

Richard stood among them, his expression solemn and serious.

Suddenly, a Great Sun fell from the heavenly vault.

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the intense shockwave instantly turned all the charred Furnace Men on the plain into dust.

"Your progress is truly fast."

A Dimensional Incarnation emerged from within the Great Sun, looking at Richard with astonishment in its tone.

How long had it been since Richard last came? In such a short time, Richard had raised his physique from seven thousand points to the limit of a Dominator's physique.

And on this foundation, he had specialized his Bloodline to the extent of touching the boundary.

In other words, Richard had reached the verge of Breaking Limit. If he wished, he could proceed with Breaking Limit at any time.

"Just a fortuitous encounter," Richard calmly stated, "Destiny is driving me to the monster's endpoint."

The Dimensional Incarnation looked at Richard, its admiration undisguised in its eyes.

"The push of destiny is selective. If your skills weren't adequate, even with destiny's push, your progress wouldn't be this quick.

To catch the heavenly pie, one must have the capability. Those lacking will only be crushed to death by it."

Richard said nothing more, accepting the Dimensional Incarnation's compliment.

"Proceed with the trial, Elder."

Richard took out the hammer crafted by the Great Elder from his pocket, his body and the hammer both expanding to tens of thousands of times in an instant.

The Dimensional Incarnation glanced at the hammer in Richard's hand, its brow slightly raised.

"You managed to find those ghosts? Haha, the king's fate is always the same."

As it spoke, the Dimensional Incarnation's form similarly enlarged, almost instantly matching Richard's size.

Its shape transformed into that of a Titan, and the Melter in its hand turned into a hammer.

"Let me see, as a fellow king, whose weapon was forged by a ghost craftsman, what level your power has truly reached!"
