The Second Miracle Tool

A dreamy light streaked across the blue sky, catching up to the hot air balloon as it passed through misty mountains and foggy seas.

The spirit finally found Yin Shen and Shelly, landing in the basket.

As soon as she noticed the divine moon was missing from the Dream Realm, she knew God had certainly ventured into the mortal world.

"God!" she exclaimed. "You snuck out to play without telling me."

The spirit felt a bit hurt. She had previously requested to accompany God to the mortal realm several times, but He had never agreed.

Yet this time, Yin Shen had secretly slipped away with Shelly, without bringing her along.

"I simply came to check on the Fusion Monsters," God replied calmly.

After becoming a Miracle Tool, the balloon's basket had grown much larger, resembling a small house.

Two small beds appeared next to the storage box, and several chairs were installed along the edges.

Shelly sat on a small bed, eating candy and swinging her legs.

Yin Shen now sat in a chair, gazing at the pearl embedded in the center.

"God!" the spirit chirped. "What are you looking at?"

The spirit's hurt feelings came and went quickly. On her way here, she had felt terribly sad and wronged.

But as soon as she saw God, those feelings vanished without a trace.

She excitedly fluttered around God, asking questions.

Yin Shen rested his face on his hand, his gaze focused on the pearl.

"These People of the Abyss are about to create a compass," he remarked.

One scene after another flashed by in the pearl, mainly showing a Deep Sea Knight and her ritual workshop.

The spirit tilted her head in confusion. "A compass?" she asked. "I've never heard of such a thing. What does it do?"

Yin Shen explained simply, "A magnetic needle points in the same direction under the influence of the Earth's natural magnetic field."

The spirit listened with a bewildered expression. "God, what use does it have?"

Yin Shen replied, "When mortals lose their way, it can help them find direction."

"It can be used for navigation at sea and in other areas."

He shifted his gaze from the pearl to the spirit.

"Like when you took the hot air balloon east last time, but ended up going north instead."

"If you had this thing then, that wouldn't have happened."

The spirit recalled the incident God mentioned, when she had ridden the hot air balloon to Volcano City. She had followed the map but nearly strayed beyond Yinsai's borders.

Feeling embarrassed, she sat down and covered her face.

The scene grew quiet, and the spirit fell silent.

But it wasn't long before she noticed that her balloon basket had become a Miracle Tool.

Sequence number 1.

"God!" she exclaimed. "What's a Miracle Tool?"

Yin Shen looked at the spirit, who seemed as curious as a child now that she was out of the Dream Realm. Perhaps this was when she truly resembled a spirit!

He pointed to an island below that looked only as big as a palm.

"The second Miracle Tool is about to appear," he said. "Watch, and you'll understand." —

The Abyssal Magic Gold workshop was built on a small island not far from the Bottomless Abyss. The People of the Abyss didn't live entirely on islands; they also established outposts, fortresses, and even small towns on various islands.

After all, many things couldn't be done underwater, and some materials couldn't be stored in the sea.

Elena, accompanied by several apprentices, had been conducting an experiment for the past few days.

It wasn't a supernatural power, but a natural phenomenon that fascinated mortals.

"What causes it to act this way?" Elena mused aloud, her curiosity piqued.

This simple question was the driving force behind the advancement of intelligent species' civilizations.

Through repeated experiments, she finally discovered the secret of the needle that always pointed in the same direction.

It originated from a mineral with magnetic properties, so it also possessed attraction.

But it couldn't attract everything; it mainly attached to iron.

This unique quality made it different, allowing it to serve as a directional guide.

"An interesting thing."

"And a useful one, too."

Elena often ventured beyond the borders of the Abyss Kingdom to explore, sometimes in search of special minerals, sometimes for other reasons.

She certainly understood the significance of this small needle.

In the face of the ocean and the world, even powerful ability users seemed insignificant.

Once lost, it was entirely possible never to return.

This wasn't a rare occurrence, but happened quite often.

"Success," she murmured.

Having discovered the secret of the magnetic needle, she finally began to craft the first item that could guide direction according to her ideas.

Elena's eyes shone with the same light as when she had first accidentally created Abyssal Magic Gold in her experiments.

She cradled her creation, a delicate silver box.

On the box, the words for east, south, west, and north were written in the script created by Redlichia.

The needle spun, finally locking onto a distant point.

Elena smiled, looking pleased.

"South!"

"A compass."

"But why does this magnetic needle have such an effect?"

She looked into the distance, her curiosity growing. "Could there be something far beyond our world that's attracting you?"

This world was so vast, yet so mysterious.

Both the people of Yinsai and the People of the Abyss understood only the tip of the iceberg.

The moment the compass was born.

In the Dream Realm, the Divine Cup began to glow.

Strands of Light of Wishes separated from the dream sun, traversing beyond the Dream Realm and descending into the mortal world.

Beams of light rushed down, and the People of the Abyss on the small island immediately sensed something amiss.

They looked up.

They saw what looked like streams of fire falling from the direction of the dazzling sun, heading towards them.

This sight terrified everyone, draining the color from their faces.

"Fire!"

"Fire is falling from the sun!"

"Lady Elena, quickly leave the workshop!"

The apprentices and soldiers on the island were frightened. Elena heard the shouts from outside and prepared to grab the compass she had just created to leave the workshop immediately.

But how could mortals be faster than light?

She had barely begun to move, not yet grasping the compass.

The light from the "sun" had already gathered from all directions, penetrating the Abyssal Magic Gold workshop, engulfing the entire workshop in a sea of golden light.

As the light faded, Deep Sea Knight Elena looked at the compass on the table.

She found that the silver box was completely different now, containing powerful energy within.

"A Divine Artifact?" she wondered.

But something felt different. "No," she realized. "It's a Miracle Tool."

Because the moment Elena picked up this object, she felt a stream of information enter her mind.

This sensation was similar to when she had glimpsed the divine technique imprint upon breaking through to become a Seal Priest.

【Sequence Number 2】

【More Than Just a Compass】

【Deep Sea Knight Elena witnessed a strange sight by the sea and, influenced by some unknown force, created this compass; it not only points south but can also locate people or objects through items they've touched for a long time.】

【With it, we will neither lose our way nor misplace old possessions.】

Deep Sea Knight Elena held the silver compass box, truly feeling as if someone was watching over her.

She stood at the workshop's entrance, looking to the sky, but saw nothing.

"What is this?" she wondered.

"Is it a miracle of the world? Or a reward from God?"

In the cloudy sky above, three figures stood in the hot air balloon basket, observing the Abyssal Magic Gold workshop and Elena.

The spirit gazed at the compass in amazement.

Although this Miracle Tool wasn't particularly powerful, it could certainly be called miraculous.

"A compass that can find lost objects and people," she marveled. "How fascinating!"

Having witnessed this scene, Yin Shen guided the hot air balloon higher, gradually moving away.

"This is a Miracle Tool," he explained.

"When someone takes a step forward on the path of truth, a miracle descends."

The birth of Miracle Tools was inspired by the spirit's words:

"If we could really collect all the secrets and truths of this world, know all the knowledge and power in this world, couldn't we achieve that?"

Although Yin Shen thought it unlikely, he felt it was a direction worth pursuing.

Even if it couldn't be fully realized, achieving even a small part would be an unimaginable miracle.

Miracle Tools emerged to understand the truths and knowledge of this world, each representing life's exploration of truth.

Whenever someone took a significant step on the path of truth, a miracle would descend.

The Light of Wishes in the Divine Cup transformed the objects they created and items recording knowledge into Miracle Tools.

This was His achievement.

And God's reward for those who explored the truth.
