It could be seen that Shuangtian's set had some delectable features, especially her ability to both strengthen herself and then buff her allies. Both Eva and Draco's sets had different focuses as well, with him focusing more on himself while she was focusing more on others.

Shuangtian was a healthy balance of both.

"Well, what are you gonna name it?" Draco asked as he walked over and admired Shaungtian's beauty in her new robes. Eva also came over and seemed pleased, admiring Shaungtian's fine body which stretched the edges of her robes a lot.

"Errm, how about Drago… robio?" Shuangtian shrugged.

Draco and Eva shared a look and burst into laughter while Shuangtian's face became red with embarrassment.

"Hey! It's not like I ever got the chance to Latin or whatever!" She complained unhappily.

Draco and Eva suppressed their amusement and decided to help her out. Draco folded his arms behind his back and turned around, raising his head to a 45 degree angle towards the sky.

"A suitable name… they are robes made with Dragon scales, and in your culture, the Emperor or Empress wear the five-clawed Dragon robe. As such, it shall be Dragovestis!"

When Draco named the set, thunder seemed to strike as the world agreed that the number was fitting and a World Announcement came out about Draco creating a new set that players could buy and create with a 15% higher success rate and whatnot.

The trio ignored all that and then settled down for a day to get familiar with their new and upgraded sets as well as the power it could bring them in a fight.

After this, they split up to focus on their own things. Draco moved onto trying to work on his Blacksmithing and Alchemy level up while Eva went to practice with her Eyes of Caela to dig into its secrets and Shuangtian went to practice with Koraina, the gauntlets she received from Aniam.

Draco entered his crafting area and took out his Divine-grade alchemy auxiliary equipment and put it beside his Divine-grade blacksmithing auxiliary equipment.

Since Hikari was going to do one of them, she figured she might as well do both.

Draco cricked his neck but did not take out Pair Dadeni nor Mjolnir yet. That would come later.

Right now, he needed to consolidate all his knowledge about the Grandmaster stage into perfection, and then theorize onto the way unto the path of Godhood.

So in this environment, and just like this, he sat cross-legged and began running his Innate Technique Generator, a strange ability he had acquired from the moment he was born.

This allowed him to craft any Combat or Tradeskill technique he wanted with ease, and was largely the reason for his rise to fame in the previous timeline before bloodlines became a thing.

The only ones other than himself to have this strange thing were Essence and Armonia, the former possessing a version limited to Combat whereas the latter had a version exclusively for Tradeskills.

The fact that both Eva and Shuangtian didn't have it baffled Draco to no end, and he could not see a pattern between those who had it and those who didn't.

Currently, Draco's technique for Blacksmithing was called the Three Pound Origin, and it was at level 7. His alchemy technique was called the Refined Star Technique and it was also at level 7.

The onus was now on how to raise these two to level 9, which was the Divine Rank. Unfortunately, this was difficult because both techniques only had 10 levels total, with level 10 being perfected Divine Rank.

There was no level for Origin since there was already an Origin God of Blacksmithing and Alchemy. Draco couldn't ascend to be an Origin God that way.

Not that this bothered him in any way, for he had no interest in becoming such a weak Origin God. Putting aside becoming an Origin God through his bloodline or through his Dragon set, he rather preferred to ascend with the power of Refinement.

However, that was far in the future. Right now, the Divine Rank was his first hurdle. He needed to reach the peak of the Grandmaster stage which was level 8, and then climb up to level 9 which was entry level divine stage.

Reaching level 8 was quite easy in both Tradeskills, for he had already spent a few years as a Grandmaster and he had never stopped using these two Tradeskills.

With the resources of the 99 Tradeskill libraries, he was easily able to incorporate many other Legendary Techniques into his own and find the flaws. He easily slipped into level 8 after just 3 days in both Tradeskills.

Next came the hard part. There were no Divine techniques listed in the Tradeskill libraries for him to peruse. These were the secret techniques of various Tradeskill True Gods, so how could they share it easily?

And even if Draco got it, it would be useless. The special thing about going from Grandmaster to Divine was that one had reached a breaking point of the mortal way, and sublimated their understanding to form a unique system that belonged only to them.

So the current way was to do what Draco was doing, incorporate as many Legendary Techniques to find the flaws in your own and then build a perfect system.

Of course, this was only just saying. If it was so easy, the Goddess Descendants wouldn't have been trapped in the Treasury for so long and would have spawned their own True Gods of Tradeskills long ago.

With Draco's current mental abilities and the help of his various methods, especially with the Eternal Tree's boost to mental faculties, he easily absorbed all Legendary Techniques for both Tradeskills in just 3 days.

This would have taken a normal person years upon years, but he did this in 3 goddamn days!

However, it was still not enough. Draco was only 30% of the way there, even after fixing his Three Pound Origin and supplementing it with the good parts of all other techniques while removing the bad parts.

What he lacked was two things, a binding agent and a catalyst. He already had the framework after combining the good parts of all those techniques, but they were scattered and disconnected, unable to form a cohesive system.

First things first, to reach the half-step God Realm, he would need a binding agent. This point was where Refinement came in clutch, for it had given him help that no other Tradeskill could.

Back to when Draco was analyzing the Divine Materials and replicating them, he had noticed something special about the Divine Materials that formed a sort of natural characteristic of them.

It wasn't necessarily Divine Energy, or anyone with a Divine Source Origin or a Divine Crystal or two could become a True God of any Tradeskill.

It was the fundamental structure of the item that lay beyond the atomic…

That's right, the Quantum Realm!

Draco was only able to see the truth behind Divine Items thanks to his Tier 5 Control which allowed them to peek into the Quantum Realm, but be unable to affect it!

The moment Draco had realized this after replicating so many of them, his confidence grew and he was no longer skeptical about becoming a True God of Alchemy or Blacksmithing.

Because, as should be obvious, he planned to make his binding agent be Control!

This was something he had even speculated when he was weak and about to enter the Grandmaster Realm, since it was also the key reason he could achieve it.

Back then, he was not at 100% bloodline, so his Control was at Tier 4. This allowed him to peek into the atomic realm but be unable to affect it, and when he did so, he realize that the atomic realm was the key to controlling Legendary forces, i.e Aetheric Energy.

Through that, he broke through to Tier 5 with gave perfect control over the atomic realm and the ability to peek into the quantum. He had musingly wondered if, since the atomic realm equated to Legendary, would the quantum realm equate to Divine?

The answer was clear now. He could break through to level 9 with Control at Tier 5 as his binding agent, but that was too limiting, it would be like a normal person breaking through, not a protagonist breaking through which caused unparalleled phenomena.

So Draco's current goal, even before reaching level 9 in both techniques, was clear!

Advance Control to Tier 6 and beyond!
