Everyone knew that at his peak, Master Ge was known as the man who forged gods with his bare hands.
Every single day, those seeking to have divine artifacts forged by him would line up from the eastern reaches of the God Realm all the way to the northern reaches of the God Realm.
Among them were no shortage of powerful figures, and the rewards they offered afterward grew more outrageous by the day.
Master Ge had long since grown accustomed to such scenes.
So when this black-robed Ghost God arrived, he did not even spare him a proper glance.
He simply waved his hand and said,
"Turn right when you leave and get lost properly."
The black-robed Ghost God did not flare up on the spot, but instead asked why.
Master Ge immediately stated his rules.
"I only forge divine artifacts for gods who please my eye."
"And within a thousand years, I forge only one."
"The thousand years are not up yet, so I cannot forge anything. And on top of that, I do not like the look of you. Are those two reasons enough?"
The Ghost God fell silent, but the violently surging ghostly aura around his body was more than enough to prove just how furious he was.
In response, Master Ge merely let out a mocking smile.
"You want to make a move? You can try. But if I were you, I would not do that."
"Because you would die."
As his words fell, two God Lord realm experts had already appeared at Master Ge’s side, their gazes hostile as they locked onto the Ghost God.
The meaning could not have been clearer.
Come on. Try it and die.
At this stage of his life, Master Ge was never lacking in followers.
They were all willing to protect him without hesitation, all for the sake of obtaining a satisfactory divine artifact.
Their execution ability was beyond question.
And aside from these powerhouses, Master Ge himself was essentially a walking divine-artifact treasury.
All kinds of life-saving divine artifacts emerged endlessly.
Whether this black-robed Ghost God could even get close was a complete unknown.
Under such circumstances, Master Ge naturally had every reason to be proud.
After a long moment of silence, the black-robed Ghost God slowly gathered up the Three Thousand Star Fragments from the table.
When he turned to leave, he solemnly introduced himself to Master Ge.
"My name is Pang Bobing. Remember me."
"In the future, I will bring materials that will move your heart and come to you to refine a divine artifact."
Master Ge gave no response, continuing instead to examine the damaged divine artifact in his hands.
Perhaps in his eyes, this man named Pang Bobing was utterly unworthy of any further interaction.
Which made sense.
Star Fragments were indeed rare, but only three thousand of them?
What kind of divine artifact could that even forge?
A complete lunatic. Probably a fool who had not even bothered to find out how much Master Ge’s forging fee actually was.
Five days passed quietly.
Master Ge remained busy day and night, currently forging a Fortune Umbrella.
Once completed, this divine artifact would not only increase fortune and lifespan for its user, but also provide defensive capabilities, as well as concealment of form and aura.
It was a birthday gift he intended to give to his six-year-old daughter, Zhu Xincheng.
By coincidence, her birthday happened to fall on the first day of the first lunar month.
The turning of sun and moon, the first day of the new year.
With only about ten days remaining, if he wanted to present it as a birthday gift, Master Ge could only work tirelessly without rest.
But at that moment, his communication stone rang.
It was a call from his wife, Li Mu.
Yet after connecting, a man’s voice sounded from the other side.
"Master Ge, I am Pang Bobing. Do you remember me?"
Master Ge’s heart trembled violently, but he still forced himself to remain calm as he asked,
"What do you want?"
The fact that Pang Bobing had obtained Li Mu’s communication stone already meant that she had fallen into his hands.
Since he was contacting him now, he clearly had an objective.
Under such circumstances, Master Ge had no intention of wasting words.
Pang Bobing spoke loudly,
"Good. God Ge is straightforward, so let us be direct."
"I want you to help me make a Moon Blade usable by Ghost Gods."
"Requirements: a high-grade divine artifact, completed within ten days. I will not provide any materials."
"And do not try anything clever. I am a timid person. When I get scared, I cannot help but kill gods."
"For example, your beautiful wife."
"Or your lovely daughter."
"You would not want anything to happen to them, would you?"
Master Ge’s fury instantly erupted.
"Ten days from now, delivery at Bailong Slope. If anything happens to my wife or daughter, I will grind you to dust and scatter your ashes!"
After saying this, Master Ge crushed the communication stone in his hand on the spot.
The rage in his eyes was on the verge of bursting forth.
Damn it.
Someone actually dared to target his family.
This was absolutely courting death.
"A Moon Blade for Ghost Gods, is it?"
"I just so happen to have one."
"But you must have the life to take it."
Soon enough, the ten-day deadline arrived.
Within Bailong Slope, Master Ge had already been waiting for some time.
Naturally, he had not foolishly come alone.
To ensure absolute safety, Master Ge had arranged five God Lord realm experts to lie in ambush nearby.
With these people gathered together, even if a God Venerable realm expert personally arrived, they could still hold the line.
Summoning them had cost Master Ge an enormous amount of personal favor.
His purpose was singular.
To protect the safety of his wife and daughter.
And if possible, to capture Pang Bobing alive.
Master Ge intended to use him as an example, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, to tell all gods of the God Realm the consequences of touching his family.
Soon, Pang Bobing arrived as agreed.
He brought with him two stone coffins, one large and one small.
Upon arrival, he opened them.
Inside lay Li Mu and Zhu Xincheng.
Both were unconscious.
"God Ge, have you brought the thing I want?"
Master Ge took out the Moon Blade.
In an instant, heaven and earth changed color as ghostly wails filled the air.
This stretch of天地 became akin to hell itself.
The extremely dense ghostly aura made Pang Bobing feel incomparably exhilarated, and he could not help but inhale deeply.
"God Ge truly lives up to his reputation. Your craftsmanship is admirable."
"Hand it over to me, and I will release your wife and daughter safely. How about it?"
Master Ge decisively rejected the proposal.
Someone shameless enough to lay hands on another’s family was capable of anything.
What if, after handing over the divine artifact, this bastard still refused to release them?
Therefore, Master Ge believed Pang Bobing should release the hostages first, after which he would hand over the Moon Blade.
But once it came to that, Pang Bobing was no longer willing.
"A man’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow. Your prestige in the God Realm is extremely high."
"Last time, those two God Lord big shots almost scared me to death."
"If you raise your arms and call out, who knows how many sects might come out to hunt me down?"
"So your wife and daughter are my talismans. Until I am absolutely safe, I cannot let go."
In the end, after negotiation between the two sides, Pang Bobing agreed to release six-year-old Zhu Xincheng first.
Once Master Ge handed over the Moon Blade, he would then release Li Mu.
