Chapter 1112: The Emergence of a Divine Artifact

Hearing the question, Xiong Zhong reluctantly turned his head.
"Dad, I haven't seen the captain for two days either. Maybe he's occupied with important tasks. Waiting like this, who knows how long it will take before we get a chance to ask about recruiting new members."
"Should we try asking someone else?"

Hearing this and seeing his son's anxious and worried expression, clearly unable to stay calm, Xiong Fen's face darkened. He took off his gloves and stepped closer.
"Son!"
"Your attitude is all wrong!"
"What kind of place is Shadow Island? It's not somewhere just anyone can come to! Although we've been performing well lately, we can't get carried away!"
"Even if we have to wait a few days, or even a few hundred years, as long as there's a chance to consult the captain and give our old friends from the Moon God Pavilion an opportunity to come here and train, it's already a tremendous blessing!"
"In the face of such an opportunity, we must not be the least bit impatient. Our vision and mindset must continue to improve. We must never fail to appreciate the fortune we have!"

His words were like a thunderclap, and Xiong Zhong's eyes filled with shame.
Indeed.
Being able to enter Shadow Island was an unimaginable stroke of luck. Both he and his father had been transformed, yet they were still the lowest of the low, surrounded by terrifyingly powerful figures everywhere.
To feel impatient after just a few days of waiting was truly inexcusable!

"I was too hasty, and I feel deeply ashamed! I will take this as a lesson and never make such a mistake again!"

Seeing his son's bowed head, Xiong Fen's expression softened slightly.
"Good."
"That's the right attitude. We are now part of Shadow Island, and we must hold ourselves to the highest standards, cherishing this blessing."
"Although you were impatient, it's understandable. You've made great progress recently, and your performance has been excellent. Keep it up, and your future achievements will surely surpass mine!"
"Even the position of captain is within reach!"

The heartfelt words of comfort moved Xiong Zhong deeply.
He looked up at his father, especially at the safety helmet on his head, bathed in the dazzling golden light of the setting sun. He realized the vast gap between them and that he was still far from matching his father.
Instantly, the determination in Xiong Zhong's eyes grew even stronger!

"I will hold myself to the highest standards and never let you down, Father!"

The father and son exchanged a light smile, their fighting spirits ignited.
In the blink of an eye,
the new construction site was filled with dust and sparks flying from the carts!
The daily grind of the workaholics began again, even more intense than before. Watching another pile of bricks being cleared, in the past, other workers would have joined in without eating or drinking.
But after the father and son had moved most of the bricks, no one else came.
The site was eerily quiet.

In contrast, the sound of footsteps outside on the main road was constant, as if something major was happening.
Xiong Zhong, being younger, was inevitably drawn by the noise.

Xiong Fen, loading the cart, spoke in a deep voice without looking up, admonishing, "Don't listen to the noise on the road, focus on moving the bricks!"

This time, the lesson didn't immediately bring his son back to work.
Xiong Fen also stopped and looked up in confusion.
His son was staring ahead in shock, his gaze fixed on something strange happening on the road.
Following his gaze...
Xiong Fen also froze!

The rest area next to the construction site was already empty.
The road outside was packed with people, their footsteps under the setting sun creating a terrifying sight. At a glance, there were at least several hundred people, their powerful auras mingling as they all headed toward the city!
It seemed like something major was indeed happening.

Instantly, Xiong Fen took off his safety helmet in shock, and both father and son were dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know..."
"Even during free time at night, I've never seen anything like this."
"Could something big be happening?"

As the father and son stared in shock,
a familiar figure rushed back to the construction site, grabbed a safety helmet and work clothes, and was about to dash off, clearly in a hurry!

Seeing this, Xiong Fen immediately stepped forward to ask!
"Master Liu, what's happening?"

The bricklaying master turned around at the sound, looking at the two in surprise.
"Old Xiong, Young Xiong, why are you two still here? Haven't you heard? Something big is happening in the city tonight!"

Indeed!
The father and son had been so focused on moving bricks that they had no idea what was going on. Now, hearing the truth, they were shocked and quickly stepped forward to bow!
"Master Liu, please wait!"
"Could you tell us what's happening?"

The bricklaying master hurriedly put on his clothes and dashed into the crowd, leaving behind a trailing voice.
"A divine artifact has appeared in the city!"
"I don't have time to explain more, or I might miss it!"

A divine... divine artifact?!
The father and son were instantly terrified!
They rushed out of the construction site and joined the crowd, running forward with looks of utter shock on their faces!
If they had heard about a divine artifact anywhere else, they would have scoffed. But hearing about it on Shadow Island, no matter how unbelievable, they had no choice but to believe it.

The father and son ran with the crowd, passing through several bustling streets.
After running for nearly half an hour, they finally stopped at a busy intersection.
The place was packed with people!
Powerful figures were everywhere, and with just a glance, one could see terrifyingly strong individuals!
There were bricklaying masters from other construction sites, security team members with formidable auras, and even several construction site captains, who were usually beyond their reach!
Even more astonishing, standing right in front of them was a member of the manure-carrying team!
That was a legendary figure, an elite even their captain revered!

Even though they were on the edge of the crowd, the father and son were trembling with fear at the sight of such a terrifying gathering. They didn't dare to speak, standing stiffly and obediently to the extreme.
These terrifyingly powerful figures from various departments were all looking up at the intersection.
At the center of attention,
several people were carrying a crystal boulder, seemingly preparing to install it on a wall!

The father and son exchanged a quiet glance, unable to understand the mystery and not seeing how the large, black crystal slab could be some kind of divine artifact.
But they didn't dare to say more, only looking on with nervous eyes.

As the crystal slab was installed, the front of the crowd suddenly erupted in cheers, spreading like a wave toward them!
"It's a success!"

The father and son were baffled, looking on in confusion.
Just as they were furrowing their brows, the massive crystal wall suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, and images began to appear within it, so vivid it was like seeing them in person!
Mountains, rivers, and lakes!
Mythical birds and beasts!
All living things!
Everything they saw was lifelike!

The massive crystal wall seemed to reflect everything in the world, able to peer into any corner. Even more terrifying, the incredibly realistic images and sounds made it feel like they were truly there!
The Xiong father and son's eyes widened in shock, their pupils trembling!
"This! This... this!"
Manifesting all things,洞察天地!
Such a divine method completely surpassed their understanding!

It was as if,
within the massive crystal wall, there were no more secrets in the world!
It was like a new realm had been opened within it, with all living things growing inside, everything so vivid that witnessing it was like a true god overlooking all creation!
A tremendous shock surged through their hearts, and the father and son were utterly shaken!

At the same time, the powerful figures around them were excitedly discussing.
"It's a success!"
"Master Fang has truly succeeded!"
"This LCD screen is a divine artifact, beyond the imagination of ordinary mortals!"

As the cheers and discussions echoed around them, the father and son's shock grew even deeper.
At the same time, they were also stunned by the surrounding conversations, their eyes filled with curiosity. Taking advantage of the enthusiastic cheers, they mustered the courage to ask a bricklayer.
"Master, may I ask what this LCD screen is made of?"

The bricklayer smiled and scratched his head.
"I'm of low status, so I don't know much about such important matters. But I heard that many experts were sent out to hunt powerful demons, so it's possible that demon corpses were used in the materials..."

The father and son were stunned.
Demons, representing true power, had actually been hunted and used to forge a divine artifact. Truly, this was the work of Shadow Island!
