1536 Crafting the Masterpiece

"Hold onto your anvils, folks! I've got a shocking revelation for you! The Exalted Blacksmith has been unmasked as a fraud! Don't miss this breaking news!" A streetwise informant bellowed, drawing a throng of curious onlookers.

"What? Exalted Blacksmith is a fraud? How is that possible?"

"It's true! The Ancient Anvil Association and even the revered God of Creation have already declared the Exalted Blacksmith to be a fraud! In fact, Exalted Blacksmith was never even an official blacksmith to begin with!"

"The Exalted Blacksmith not only committed blasphemy during the God of Creation Ceremony by cheating, but all of his creations are not even his!"

"What kind of nonsense are you sprouting? How can someone cheat in the God of Creation Ceremony? And many have watched him craft treasures."

"I heard about this. However, nobody at the ceremony could actually prove that the Exalted Blacksmith had cheated during his ceremony." Someone defended Tian Qiyuan.

"I was present at the ceremony, and I didn't notice anything unusual, let alone cheating. It's possible that the Exalted Blacksmith is being unfairly accused due to envy of his skills." Another voice chimed in, offering a different viewpoint.

"The Exalted Blacksmith called out the Ancient Anvil Association before the ceremony began, so they have a motive. As for the God of Creation, he probably just didn't want to hand over his title so soon after acquiring it."

Not everyone believed the rumors, but the God of Creation and the Ancient Anvil Association wielded immense influence. Challenging them meant risking their ire and losing access to their invaluable services, making it wiser for most to remain silent.

Because of this, most of the families and sects in the upper heavens remained silent, allowing such rumors to continue spreading like wildfire.

With nobody truly influential stepping forward to refute these rumors, more and more people started believing it. Eventually, the rumor was no longer just a rumor and turned into a fact.

The Ancient Anvil Association also invested tremendous resources and effort into ensuring that Tian Qiyuan became and remained a fraud.

With the God of Creation backing them, almost nothing could stop them from branding Tian Qiyuan as a fraud.

And in just a few hundred years, it'd become common knowledge that Tian Qiyuan was a fraud who managed to become a Divine Blacksmith by fooling the world.

"God of Creation… I am disappointed in you…" A face that the God of Creation hadn't seen in a while suddenly showed up to say such words in private.
