The purpose of creating the Ephemera Divine Skill is to gain a faster cultivation speed.

After all, the myriad worlds of the Gates to Heavens are too vast. Not to mention his current cultivation, even Ji Yu in his prime, the strongest person he had ever seen, is nothing in this multi-dimensional and infinite universe.

In this situation, the faster you become stronger, the better.

Even if my combat power is the weakest in the same realm, as long as my cultivation speed is fast and my realm is seven, eight, or ninety realms ahead of the enemy, everything will be fine.

Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem that the Ephemera Divine Skill cannot be used at maximum power.

"I need to find a world with abundant free energy, or some substance that can quickly and efficiently provide the energy needed by the body."

Soaking in the Longevity Extension Pod, before entering a state of focused cultivation, this thought flashed through Lin Ze's mind.

In the environment of World No. 2, there is no free energy that can be directly used by the human body. The entire process of martial arts cultivation is the deep development of human potential and the efficient absorption and utilization of food.

Relying on these two points has already created the extraordinary combat power of martial artists.

In the martial arts system of World No. 2, after cultivating to the Essence Solidification realm, the energy provided by ordinary food cannot meet the needs of cultivation. You must take medicine to supplement it.

As the cultivation realm deepens, the medicines needed to improve cultivation become more and more precious, and the quantity also increases, but they are still within the normal range.

Even Land Immortal-level masters can satisfy their cultivation by eating some precious Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures.

If Lin Ze cultivated normally, he would not encounter the current problem of insufficient energy supply to his body, but who told him to think about taking shortcuts to skip class?

Using the Ephemera Divine Skill to speed up his cultivation, he also increased the energy he needed per unit time to a height far beyond what ordinary Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures could bear.

This made Lin Ze have to soak himself in the Longevity Extension Pod to provide energy to his body more efficiently.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Lin Ze clearly felt his realm was undergoing transformation.

As the Ephemera Divine Skill circulated, his body digested the nutrients supplemented from the external Longevity Extension Pod at a terrifying rate. The constantly produced essence, qi, and blood were transformed into his own Inner Breath accumulation.

Subsequently, these Inner Breath were used by Lin Ze to nourish his spirit and the flesh, blood, muscles, and bones of his entire body.

The spirit began to grow and transform continuously, gradually entering a state of Heaven and Man United as One. At this time, Lin Ze could feel the flow of all the phenomena of heaven and earth around him.

His spirit began to integrate into it, and began to have the ability to control the phenomena of heaven and earth for his own use.

The transformation of the body was also taking place. The bones of his entire body flickered with jade brilliance, his skin was shrouded in golden light, and all the flesh and blood became as transparent and pure as possible. His whole person exuded a powerful and immortal charm.

At this time, Lin Ze's skin began to crack inch by inch. This was a sign of Rebirth and Transformation. Normally, this is a relatively long process.

However, under the blessing of the powerful life activity activated by the Ephemera Divine Skill, it began to grow back quickly.

In a very short period of time, Lin Ze's body completed nine Rebirth and Transformations, regrowing a full nine times.

When the ninth transformation ended, the blood on Lin Ze's body was already bright red and crystal clear, like a blood-red gem, revealing an extremely pure and powerful aura.

At this time, Lin Ze's body was even surrounded by a fragrance like Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure.

"The breakthrough is complete. My life limit has reached two hundred and twenty years old, which is more than a hundred years longer than ordinary people."

"However, in the current state of the Ephemera Divine Skill's operation, I will naturally die of old age in at most half a year."

Lin Ze sensed his current state. The overall strength of his body had been greatly improved compared to before, and the amount of Inner Breath had also increased greatly compared to before the breakthrough.

In terms of pure martial artist strength, Lin Ze's current combat power has already reached the level of a one-man army. He can directly solo mechanical armored units like the Red Scarf Bandit Gang.

Even against the Seventh Carrier Fleet equipped with nuclear weapons, Lin Ze can still solo them after adopting some guerrilla tactics to avoid the brunt of their nuclear arsenal.

However, compared to the god-level experts who are each an enemy of a nation, with combat power that can directly contend with an industrialized country, Heaven and Man level experts are still far behind.

Of course, the biggest improvement that this breakthrough to the Heaven and Man realm brought to Lin Ze is in his mental aspect.

Achieving the Heaven and Man United as One realm allows one to perceive the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth and control the power of heaven and earth. The increase in Lin Ze's Mental Power intensity, range, and endurance is not too significant.

His perception range has only increased to a diameter of 152 kilometers, his Mental Power intensity has increased to 1358 tons, and his maximum output endurance is still two hours.

After all, he first used the Gates to Heavens to strengthen his spirit, achieving the prerequisite for breaking through to the Heaven and Man realm. Only then could he break through to the Heaven and Man realm so quickly this time by cultivating the Ephemera Divine Skill.

However, Lin Ze's mental precision has undergone a quantum leap, reaching the nanometer level.

Lin Ze can now use Mental Power to obliterate specific cells, such as cancer cells, to achieve the effect of treating diseases.

Although similar effects can be achieved using Electronic Instruments, this belongs to Lin Ze's own power. If he exercises his Mental Power, this Mental Power precision can continue to improve.

Future can even do to change the material world by one's own strength, produce all the natural phenomena they need, and distort the material form and create things from nothing with their thoughts.

After sensing the changes in his strength, Lin Ze turned his attention to his Ephemera Divine Skill.

He began to continue adjusting the power of the technique to satisfy repairing his body once every three months, and eating every few hours to meet his body's consumption needs.

After integrating these factors, the Ephemera Divine Skill that Lin Ze finally revised has an actual cultivation effect that is 300 times that of the myth-level martial art Yuanyang Divine Skill, requiring him to eat once every four hours.

He needs to consume a highly refined and compressed pill made from various Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures, along with a certain amount of food to compensate for his body's consumption.

Of course, if he has time to eat constantly, he can still use the Ephemera Divine Skill at maximum power.

After the technique was revised, Lin Ze began to enter a focused state of cultivation, while further revising the technique based on usage feedback.

Normal Heaven and Man realm experts all need a long period of accumulation if they want to improve their cultivation further, but Lin Ze is different.

Every day that passes, his cultivation can increase by a large margin. His Inner Breath becomes more and more majestic, his Mental Power becomes more and more powerful and vigorous, and his physique also becomes more and more powerful. The only drawback is that he ages a little too quickly.

In just one month, Lin Ze, who was originally a young man, turned into a middle-aged man.

This means that more than sixty years of his two hundred years of life have been lost at this moment, and his physical age has reached eighty years old.

And at this time, Lin Ze discovered some shortcomings of the Ephemera Divine Skill. After the body entered a middle-aged state, the body's functions inevitably began to decline.

Reflected in the cultivation speed, it is about five percent slower.

As time passed, when the time came to the second month and Lin Ze's lifespan burned to one hundred and fifty years, Lin Ze felt a further decline in his body functions.

At this time, Lin Ze was considered to have entered the physical state of his twilight years, and his cultivation speed dropped to about 70% of its peak.

In addition to this, Lin Ze could clearly feel that the operating speed of his brain, the strength of his physique, his recovery ability, and his ability to digest food were all beginning to weaken.

According to the original plan, Lin Ze would continue to cultivate, stop the Ephemera Divine Skill when his lifespan was about to run out, allow his body functions to return to normal consumption, and then repair his aging body.

However, this decrease in cultivation speed made Lin Ze give up this plan and decided to stop running the Ephemera Divine Skill and start repairing his body in advance.

Lin Ze lay down in a specially made Longevity Extension Pod.

Subsequently, the precious medicinal liquid began to be injected, submerging Lin Ze's body within it.

At the same time, various specialized instruments were activated, generating unique force fields that interacted with the medicinal liquid.

Lin Ze lay in the Longevity Extension Pod, gradually entering a state of deep sleep.

Within his wrinkled, white-haired, aged body, it was as if a brand new vitality had been injected. His body began to exhibit reverse aging, returning to a more youthful state.

Old skin peeled away, white hair fell out, and new, dark hair grew in its place.

The aging cells within his body were also rejuvenated, and some of the previously weakened tissues regained their strength and vigor.

Because the repair was started in advance, the time required to repair the body was less than expected. After five days of aging repair, Lin Ze emerged from the Longevity Extension Pod. He no longer resembled his previous aged self, but had regained his youth.

His mind, which had felt sluggish, also returned to its peak state.

"From now on, let's do this. Spend five days every two months to repair the body's lifespan, and at the same time, while the cultivation speed is increased to the fastest, it won't delay normal work and life."

Lin Ze summarized his current state and made a decision in his heart.

If he continued to cultivate at this pace, it wouldn't be long before he could catch up with Ji Yu.

Afterward, he began to focus his attention on the development of the Gates to Heavens Mall business.

Over the past few months, while Lin Ze was busy with cultivation, the development of the Gates to Heavens Mall had also progressed smoothly.

It had completed the establishment of its leading position in World No. 1, completed the recruitment of personnel, and raised a lot of funds and equipment, preparing to start developing the vast resources and markets of World No. 2.

For the foreseeable future, Lin Ze would need to open the gates for substantive communication between the two worlds.

"Is it possible to leave a long-lasting, continuous space channel? And connect the permissions of the space channel with the employee files of the Gates to Heavens Mall, to intelligently identify who is qualified to pass through?"

At this time, Lin Ze began to contact the Gates to Heavens to express his request.

He wanted to be lazy and not be tied down as a gate-opening tool all the time.

"Do you want to spend one million Luck to update the new function? After the update is completed, a new long-term constant space channel function will be added, and the Luck consumption will be determined according to the sustainable time and size of the space channel."

The Gates to Heavens immediately gave a reply.

Lin Ze glanced at his Luck balance. It had been five months since he established the Human Alliance.

Over the past period, he had turned the two worlds upside down, and could steadily harvest more than one million Luck every month.

Up to now, even after deducting the portion of Luck that Lin Ze regularly invested in exploring Other Worlds every day, there was still more than five million Luck left.

Lin Ze did not hesitate and directly asked the Gates to Heavens to update the new function.

Afterward, he began to design the space channel.

"First is the personnel transport channel, which can pass people and carry a small amount of supplies, let's set it at three meters wide and five meters high."

"Then there is the material passage channel, based on the current common human cargo ships, let's set it at three hundred meters high and five hundred meters wide, to accommodate multiple ships and trains passing through."

"Finally, there is the military channel, which mainly needs to pass a large number of soldiers and combat equipment in a short time, let's define it as a circular doorway with a diameter of ten kilometers."

Lin Ze set three standard space channels according to actual usage needs, and these space channels can be adjusted according to actual needs in the future.

After the actual settings were completed, the Gates to Heavens also provided the prices for these space channels.

Personnel channel: 10,000 Luck consumption per year.

Material channel: 200,000 Luck consumption per year. Military channel: 4.5 million Luck consumption per year.

"Why does it feel like large-scale military channels are cheaper? It feels like more quantity with a discount."

Lin Ze pondered and inquired with the Gates to Heavens.

The answer he received was that the basic consumption for opening a gate was about the same. Increasing the range of the space channel would cost less than opening several constant space channels.

Subsequently, Lin Ze began to set up long-term space channels.

Initially, the two worlds' exchange and trade were mainly small-scale personnel exchanges and a small amount of material exchanges, so there was no need to set up military channels for the time being. Sending out Drones for patrol was enough.

Of course, the main reason was that Lin Ze didn't have much Luck.

"Let's open ten personnel channels and ten material transport channels first, and open them for a year."

"On the World No. 1 side, the space channel will be placed in Yulin City in the Golden Continent. On the World No. 2 side, the space channel will be placed in Fengping County. These two places are originally my territory, which will help the early development of trade between the two worlds."

Thinking about these things, Lin Ze began to take action.

Outside the Fengping County wharf, the space channel was successfully placed. The other side was connected to the wharf area outside Yulin City in the Golden Continent.

In the flat ground, you could see twenty illusory portals blooming with faint white light, unable to see what was on the other side of the door.
