Report

News from the capital city spreads very quickly.

Gu Jinlai the troops could be reorganized and had even reached Lanzhou, which was guarded by the Cold Moon Sect, an envoy from the capital had already arrived.

This time, they were stationed in Shangzhenbei, north of Tianhe, just like before.

His current team has taken on the heavy responsibility of ensuring smooth traffic between the north and south.

Despite the presence of numerous fish Demonic Beasts in the Milky Way, which puts humans at an inherent disadvantage, the absence of the Crocodile Dragon King, a Demonic Beasts king-level being, means that the Demonic Beasts can no longer hope to completely separate the north and south.

In addition, Shang Zhenbei led his men on patrols and slaughtered Demonic Beasts, which made those who had achieved some cultivation more careful. They could always seize the opportunity to cross over when there were no Demonic Beasts around.

Shang Zhenbei arrived at Xingguang City and engaged in some bargaining with Gu Jinlai.

Final...

Gu Jinlai still went along with Shang Zhenbei's wishes, selling him thirty Sharp Sword Heavy Cannons for the price of three portions of Immortal Refined Gold per unit.

As for the delivery method...

Gu Jinlai Shang Zhenbei takes out thirty sharp swords and heavy cannons, he will notify the local Demon Refining Hall to send ninety portions of immortal refined gold through the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram of the Demon Refining Hall.

Of course, due to their enormous size, transmitting the sword and cannon back to the capital from the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram would be too costly, so in the end, Shang Zhenbei's heavy troops had to escort them.

"This transaction will yield ninety portions of Immortal Refined Gold. Adding the Immortal Refined Gold obtained from the Yellow Heaven Sect, as well as the Immortal Refined Gold obtained from the Purgatory Sect, Yellow Spring Sect, and Cold Moon Sect during this period, we now only have about forty portions of Immortal Refined Gold left to refine the Cheng Ying Mecha."

In the courtyard, Gu Jinlai did a quick calculation and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

The Shadow Armor, forged from immortal refined gold!

The reason his Eternal Furnace is currently overpowered is that he himself cannot withstand the power required for the Eternal Furnace to operate at full power.

If we can forge the Chengying Mech and inject energy into it using its energy transfer properties, then every move it makes will possess earth-shattering power.

There's no need to worry about being "rebounded" to death by the indiscriminate explosive aftershocks during this process.

Moreover, although he did not comprehend the undying will like a saint, he could still repair the Cheng Ying mech with immortal refined gold when it was damaged.

At that time...

I dare not say that I can stand on equal footing with the saints.

However, achieving the output of a Saint-level being and approaching the defense of a Saint-level being is not a problem.

"Forty portions of Immortal Refined Gold! Even considering the losses during the forging process of the Shadow Carrier Mech, preparing another sixty portions would be enough!"

He wished the royal family could buy twenty more heavy cannons to make up that number for him.

Just a moment...

He suppressed the idea.

If he were to actually make this request to the royal family, it would only make them suspicious of his motives and the cost of his powerful weapons.

If the other party tries to lower the price again, it will be a losing proposition.

"Although the Cold Moon Sect, the Yellow Spring Sect, and the Purgatory Sect sent some Immortal Refined Gold, and claimed that this Immortal Refined Gold was all that they had in their sects, it was clearly empty talk. The total amount of Immortal Refined Gold that these three sects could plunder was at least eighty or a hundred..."

Gu Jinlai pondered for a moment. He had to figure out how to get these three major sects to willingly hand over all the immortal refined gold stored in their sects.

"In the battle of Cloud Sky City, the Celestial Master apprentices who operated the heavy cannons and slayed Demonic Beasts earned substantial merits. Among the exchangeable resources in the Demon Refining Hall, one unit of Immortal Refined Gold is worth no less than a high-grade Spirit Artifact, making it not very cost-effective. However, if I were to collect all of these people's merits for myself and then exchange them, I should be able to gather forty units of Immortal Refined Gold, but..."

He ultimately ruled out that idea.

Although he provided the sharp swords and heavy cannons, the celestial master apprentices were merely the operators.

However, this kind of behavior, which is similar to taking credit for one's subordinates, is absolutely unacceptable.

The best way...

"The Cold Moon Sect is currently facing a siege by Demonic Beasts. If they want merit, I can go to Blue Continent to kill Demonic Beasts. Moreover, if I can replicate a great victory like Cloud Sky City, and then ask the Cold Moon Sect to hand over all the immortal refined gold stored in the sect to me, I think they will not refuse."

In a moment, he made up his mind.

Merit and wealth are gained on the battlefield.

It's that simple.

He looked up and gazed southward.

After a moment, his expression changed slightly.

These past few days he'd been busy welcoming the victorious soldiers of the Battle of Cloud Sky City, and hadn't paid much attention to the changes in the fortunes of the south, but in just a few days...

The Demonic Beasts's pillar of fortune has increased by at least 20%.

This situation...

"Another Demonic Beasts king has been born among the Demonic Beasts of Muzhou!?"

His expression has been somewhat stern Gu Jinlai.

However, after carefully observing the fortune of the southern Demonic Beasts for a while, he vaguely noticed something unusual.

Despite the overwhelming power of the southern Demonic Beasts, like dark clouds pressing down on the city, these pillars of fortune did not move towards Lanzhou.

The true intrusion of fortune into Lanzhou is less than half of the fortune within Muzhou.

This situation has caused both Gu Jinlai to feel apprehensive.

"The Demonic Beasts of Muzhou didn't even use their full strength when they attacked Cold Moon Sect. Could their purpose be... to feign weakness and lure me to the Cold Moon Sect? Once I arrive at the Cold Moon Sect, Demonic Beasts kings within Muzhou will attack simultaneously, delivering a fatal blow to me!?"

Gu Jinlai, their expressions have been solemn.

His eternal furnace has not yet stabilized.

They were truly surrounded and attacked by the Demonic Beasts King, and even if they managed to escape with one or two of them, they would perish together.

But the Muzhou battlefield was also crucial to his ability to quickly gather the last few dozen pieces of Immortal Refined Gold he was missing...

After a moment of change in expression, Gu Jinlai made a decision.

"Wait! The Eternal Furnace within my body will need another month and a half to stabilize. During this month and a half, I will send people to learn about the situation of the Cold Moon Sect in detail. After the Eternal Furnace stabilizes, I will decide whether to go there in person based on the situation in Blue State."

Gu Jinlai have settled their minds.

Considering that Lingxiao City was more important to him than Xingguang City, he did not stay in Xingguang City for long.

After having Gu Changfeng, Gu Chaoyang, Qi Renwang, Cheng Wanli, and others handle all matters concerning Starlight City, he led the Demon God Guards back to Lingxiao City.

However, unlike when he left Lingxiao City, when he had only a few thousand Demon God guards, he returned with tens of thousands of people by his side.

Yes!

After expansion, the number of Demon God's personal guards has reached tens of thousands.

In addition, Gu Changfeng and others specially formed an army similar to the God of War Legion. This army consisted of 20,000 people selected from the elite, who were skilled, virtuous and loyal, and served as reserves for the Demon God's personal guard.

Once the Demon God's personal guards have enough Demonic Beasts Essence Blood, they will refine the Essence Blood to break through and become a new batch of Demon God warriors.

Upon Gu Jinlai arrival at Lingxiao City, Gu Jinlai was greeted with another round of cheers.

Gu Jinlai enjoying a day of fun with the people, they soon arrived at the military workshop and discussed with Zhang Lihuo the improvements to the sharp sword, heavy cannon, and Xuan Bird fighter jet.

Real combat is the best way to verify the power of weapons.

Many people gained a wealth of experience from this great battle against the Demonic Beasts.

And their accumulated experience will further strengthen the heavy artillery armies in the hands of Gu Jinlai.

The Gu Jinlai have settled here, waiting for the eternal furnace to stabilize once again, while the Blue Star is also in turmoil.

However, this time the center of the event was not the Kingdom of Middle-earth.

Instead, it is the Starry Federation, located on the other side of Blue Star.

At this moment, in a high-standard conference room, a research and development project leader is applying for funding approval.

Sitting in front of him were dozens of people, including many important figures who were frequently seen on the Starshine Federation's television and website.

"Time travel does not conform to the second law of thermodynamics. Without the introduction of external negative entropy flow, a closed system will not spontaneously evolve from disorder to order. The direction of entropy is the direction of time. Therefore, we cannot reverse a system, let alone reverse spacetime. So, Dr. Harriman, your project has no value."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie is raising questions.

"I never said I wanted to reverse time."

The leader, who was being questioned, spoke eloquently, "What we need to do now is simply to obtain the information we need from spacetime, and then use a special method to make the two spacetimes overlap, allowing the information in the two spacetimes to be exchanged..."

What supports your theory?

The man in the suit said.

"Mr. Dennis."

Harriman said in a deep voice, "The Earth, the solar system, and the Milky Way are constantly moving at extremely high speeds in the universe. The time scale and the spatial scale are constantly changing. In the same space, different stars will be present at different times..."

"I've heard of this theory, and it's also the most widely accepted theory explaining that magical world that shrouds the sky."

The man named Dennis responded, "And you, what do you want to do?"

"As I stated in my report, this plan is divided into three parts. First, we need extremely powerful signal receiving equipment to capture information from that world for precise location. Second, we need to build a super-large particle collider to perturb spacetime and even create the possibility of connecting two worlds that originally did not belong to the same spacetime."

Dr. Harriman's eyes gleamed. "I believe that the distance between our two worlds is not far. I even suspect that someone in the world today has already entered that world by some fortuitous opportunity. It's just that such a situation is extremely accidental and uncontrollable... What we need to do is to turn this accident into a certainty, and the uncontrollable into a controllable one, so that we can enter that world ahead of everyone else, and even develop that world."

"I need sufficient proof to support your theory."

"I have evidence! Please turn to page 129!"

Dr. Harriman said in a deep voice, "Our most advanced equipment can already see the outlines of mountains and spectacular buildings. Although we cannot observe them due to the sheer size of that world, some intense phenomena are of utmost importance to our observation. According to our observations, someone has captured two intense radiant phenomena. As for what these radiant phenomena resemble, it is clearly written in my documents."

"A low-yield hydrogen bomb?"

Dennis's expression changed slightly as he looked at the report.

"Good."

Dr. Harriman solemnly said, "Perhaps this is a natural phenomenon, but we cannot rule out the possibility that... someone has already gotten ahead of us, and if we do not act quickly, we will be completely overtaken and left behind."

These words quickly sparked whispers and discussions among the others.

Many people even made phone calls to report and ask for instructions from their superiors.

During this time, they asked Dr. Harriman some more questions.

A full half hour later, Dennis finally spoke again, "So, Dr. Harriman, tell me, what do you need?"

"Money, lots of money."
