Xuanyu smiled. His luck was quite favorable this time. Getting a King-grade item from just nine Rare-ranked gacha tickets was nothing short of remarkable.
He eagerly tapped on the descriptions of the King-grade and Rare-grade items, skipping over the Common-grade ones—they didn't pique his interest.

ITEM DESCRIPTIONS:
→ MAGIC WAND: A magical wand made of cherry wood and unicorn hair. Increases magic effects by 15%.
→ MAGIC: SMASH: A rare magic called 'Smash.' As its name suggests, it enables powerful smashing attacks.
→ WARSHIP: A damaged spaceship, reduced to Rare rank due to its condition. If repaired, it could regain its original Emperor-grade rank.
→ FIRE SWORD: A magical sword imbued with the fire attribute. Increases the holder's fire resistance by 20%.
→ WATER ORIGIN VEIN: A water vein capable of producing water by absorbing energy. The higher the quality of the energy absorbed, the better the water produced.
→ SKILL: ANSWER: This skill answers the user's questions. However, as a Rare-rank skill, it is limited to answering ordinary questions.
→ ARMOR BLUEPRINTS: Detailed blueprints of all the armors created by Tony Stark (MCU version) during his lifetime.
---
Xuanyu chuckled after reading the item descriptions. He was particularly satisfied with the Water Origin Vein and Magic: Smash.
The Water Origin Vein would become the first water source in his small world, while the Smash magic synergized well with the smash attribute of his Golden Dragon Claw.
He then focused on Skill: Answer. The skill had immense potential to solve various problems and confusions, but its grade was too low. It could only address ordinary questions.
Suddenly, he remembered the two unused Mythical-rank Item Evolution Cards in his inventory. Without hesitation, he retrieved one and applied it to Skill: Answer.
---
UPGRADED SKILL DESCRIPTION:
→ SKILL: ANSWER: This skill answers the user's questions. However, the complexity of the question determines the amount of energy required.
→ EYE OF APPRAISAL: An additional skill based on the evolved Skill: Answer. It allows the user to obtain detailed information about any item within sight. Like the main skill, it consumes energy to function.
---
Xuanyu burst into laughter after reading the description of the upgraded Mythical-rank Skill: Answer. The energy consumption was a downside, but with his Void Source, it wasn't a major issue.
Testing it immediately, he asked the skill about RUNESMITH, his only EX-rank item.
To his shock, his soul energy began to deplete at an alarming rate. Within seconds, it was completely drained. Panicked, Xuanyu quickly controlled his Blue Silver Grass to replenish his energy.
Fortunately, he had the support of the Void Source; otherwise, the skill would have left him completely exhausted. After consuming nearly 70% of the energy from his little world, the process finally stopped.
A flood of information poured into his mind and appeared on the system screen.

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
→ RUNESMITH:
Runes are the foundation of a powerful cultivation system from an unknown world. They are law inscriptions that grant unique abilities.
Each rune represents an attribute. For example, a rune with a flame carving is a Rune of Fire, allowing the user to control fire with minimal energy.
As the host of RUNESMITH, you can create Rune Stones. Basic knowledge about a subject is required to craft corresponding runes.
Blank Rune Stones can be created and infused with attributes by exposure to specific elements or energy.
Rune Stones grow alongside their user. At their peak, they can serve as a Godhood, enabling the user to ascend to godhood.
Blank Rune Stones can be gifted to others. The recipient absorbs the rune, which gains their attributes. Although the host loses control over gifted runes, they remain connected, and the growth of gifted runes benefits the host's corresponding runes.
Minimum spiritual rank required to create Blank Runes: Spirit Sea Realm.
---
Xuanyu was speechless. The power of EX-rank items was truly heaven-defying.
Runesmith had essentially gifted him an entirely new cultivation system. Its potential was staggering—it allowed him to grow stronger while working toward godhood.
"Spirit Sea Realm, huh?" he mused. Normally, reaching that level would take a few years. Now, he needed to focus on both his spiritual cultivation and this new system.
Suddenly, a system notification appeared.
[DING! HOST'S STATUS TAB HAS BEEN UPDATED.]
Excited, Xuanyu tapped on the status tab.
---

---
He scanned the updated status tab.
The Rune of Dragon God was likely a fusion of his Golden and Silver Dragon King bloodlines. The Rune of Water and Rune of Ice seemed connected to his mother's teachings on water and ice manipulation.
After some experimentation, Xuanyu decided to use the Water Origin Vein.
He controlled his little world and created a deep circular pit near the Origin Tree, leaving him drained. Summoning the Water Origin Vein—a glowing blue light—he placed it into the pit.
The vein absorbed energy, and water began to fill the pit. It would take some time, but eventually, it would form a lake.
Stretching, Xuanyu glanced at his wristwatch. It was almost dinner time. His gaze shifted to the ring on his hand. Narrowing his eyes, he used Eye of Appraisal on it.

→ HEAVENLY SACRED SPLITTING ABYSS HALBERD:This ring conceals the Ultra Divine-rank artifact, the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd. It possesses the attributes of devouring energy and ignoring all defenses.
