received the ring, his heart racing with excitement.

In his previous life, at a real-world global auction, a legendary item had sold for tens of millions of Credit Points, shocking the world. Many thought the buyer was a fool—just a virtual item, mere generated data. Only someone with their head stuck in a door would spend that many Credit Points on it.

Now, the War God Temple merits and gold coins Shi Feng had spent, when converted to Credit Points, were even more than that legendary item's auction price. Yet all he got was an epic-grade item, two whole tiers below legendary.

But Shi Feng would say he'd gladly get his head stuck in the door hundreds more times, if only for such a chance.

Countless people had mocked the buyer of that legendary item as a fool, but that person later became , president of the super guild "King's Return" in the Divine Realm. The territory he controlled was larger than an entire empire's, making everyone tremble with respect. His wealth and status were beyond imagination.

After that, did anyone dare mock him?

No. Instead, everyone mocked the fool who had sold the legendary item so cheaply. Forget tens of millions of Credit Points—even a city of a million people wouldn't be enough to exchange for it; many would still feel it was a loss.

The Seven Luminaries Ring was a mythical artifact.

Although what he held was a replica, replicas came in varying grades.

The difference between a replica made from a gold-grade item and one made from an epic-grade item was vast, like comparing a glimpse through a tube to the whole leopard. The higher the quality of the item being replicated, the greater the difficulty. It wasn't something one could just replicate at will.

Replicating a mythical artifact to produce an epic-grade item was over ten times harder than crafting an epic-grade item from scratch—comparable to making a legendary item.

"The craftsman who made this Seven Luminaries Ring is truly a master blacksmith. If not for insufficiently pure materials and energy, they might have even produced a legendary-grade version." As a blacksmith himself, Shi Feng was deeply interested in the craft and could appreciate how formidable the creator of this ring must be.

Replicating a mythical artifact was no easy feat. A master blacksmith couldn't do it; only a grandmaster could have a chance.

"As expected of a mythical artifact's replica. Even at epic grade, aside from stat boosts falling short of legendary items, it's far superior in every other aspect." After reviewing the full attributes of the Seven Luminaries Ring, Shi Feng was utterly astonished.

These were the first time Shi Feng had seen the detailed stats and abilities of the Seven Luminaries Ring.

Only now did he understand why it was said that even a mortal possessing the genuine Seven Luminaries Ring could destroy heaven and earth, even slay gods. The ring in his hands was merely a replica, still epic grade, and in every respect paled in comparison to the real thing by a margin of 108,000 miles.

An epic-grade replica alone, in Shi Feng's eyes, was already a minor artifact—any other epic-grade item was utterly outclassed.

"If only I could upgrade this epic-grade Seven Luminaries Ring to legendary." Shi Feng couldn't help but fantasize. If the ring reached legendary grade, its value would be beyond estimation, surpassed perhaps only by holy relics.

After equipping the Seven Luminaries Ring, Shi Feng's stats immediately surged. His Intelligence reached 91, just shy of the 120 needed.

"As a tank, I can use the Earth Circle. As a healer, the Water Circle. For escaping or chasing, the Wind Circle. In combat, the Fire Circle. For team fights, the Time and Illusion Circles. For travel, the Void Circle. It covers everything truly the strongest epic-grade item." Shi Feng was beginning to grasp how to utilize the seven powers of the ring.

He could only imagine how powerful the genuine mythical artifact must be...

Just as Shi Feng was fantasizing about the real artifact, a sudden thought struck him.

The Void Circle could be used for travel. If he used it now, he could make it to Silverleaf Forest in time. 300,000 yards—that typically covered two entire zones.

Silverleaf Forest could be reached by teleporting from to Creek Fortress, then crossing four zones. Running full tilt through those three zones would normally take four or five hours. But Shi Feng could cross two zones in an instant with the ring. He might even arrive at Silverleaf Forest ahead of Bai Qingxue's main force.

With that thought, Shi Feng immediately set to work, leaving the War God Temple and heading toward the Star Moon City teleportation hall. (To be continued...)
