The two Sea God priests immediately became tense again when they saw Fang Heng stop. Their hearts rose to their throats.
Did something go wrong again during the repair?
At this moment, Empress Feng Tiya was already completely reassured.
As long as the divine corruption inside the Sea God's Trident had been removed, even if the subsequent repair failed, it would not matter—at worst, they could find another artifact master to fix it.
However, in the next instant, Feng Tiya suddenly looked toward the Sea God's Trident again, her eyes filled once more with surprise.
Fang Heng quickly found the source of the problem.
It turned out to be a lack of "filler."
While the god corrosion had eroded the divine authority, it had also damaged the internal structure of the Sea God's Trident. That corrupted portion of power needed something to replenish it.
Without filling it in, the weapon could still be repaired—but only in appearance. Its original core power would not be restored.
