Its duty is to maintain the balance of the major forces in the universe, to divide concepts into binary categories that can be transformed into one another, thereby making the positive and negative in the universe equal.

The main reason why no one can see this Aeon is that He has integrated His own will into the logic of the universe's movement, eternally maintaining the balance and stability of all things in the world.

Speaking in human language is in accordance with the Tao.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder reaching god-like status, can you handle it?

Chen Li had reason to suspect that the issue of the Mara-Struck of the Long-Life Species was orchestrated by Hu.

If Chen Li could create Miraculous Item that could revive living beings at will, it would naturally attract attention from the world.

But what's the problem with that?

Now that Chen Li has become Miraculous Forger, he can just do whatever makes him happy.

If you're not happy, then come and fight me!

"Tsk, no wonder the Miracle System Destruction so many worlds in the past. It can control power beyond life and death at will. Who wouldn't get arrogant?" Chen Li sighed.

"Since you've given me such a good idea, Qingque, what kind of magic do you want to see? I'll show it to you," Chen Li said.

"Ah, aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?"

"Actually, it can't be considered a shortening of lifespan, but rather an impact on one's destiny due to the depletion of Life Force. However, Life Force is something that can be easily replenished by eating something." Chen Li waved his hand.

Because it has Gourmet Cells.

For individuals with strong individual abilities, restoring Life Force is relatively simple, and for Chen Li, it's even simpler.

If you lack Life Force, then just consume Life Force, right?

As long as it's not something like dirt or ore, Chen Li can gain some Life Force when he eats food.

"Then, in that case, aren't we Xianzhou natives the most suitable race to learn magic and life-saving techniques?" Qingque's eyes lit up.

"If you put it that way... then you're right." Chen Li nodded reluctantly.

The Life Force of the Xianzhou natives is evident to all... After falling onto a planet during a cosmic war, even with their heads cut off and stitched back up, they were still able to fight their way from the South Heavenly Gate to the North Heavenly Gate, ravaging the entire planet. How can you say that the Life Force of such a race is not tenacious?

Or rather, all beings Gift of Abundance possess a normal life recovery buff.

"Coach, I want to learn black magic!"

"Okay, I'll teach you!"

"You really are the worst class of students I've ever taught! I've spent 100 years of my life demonstrating magic to you, and you still can't even cast a small fireball!" Chen Li pointed at Qingque.

"I just can't learn it." Qingque squatted in the corner, holding her head, looking utterly dejected.

This was the first time Qingque had experienced the charm of being a poor student.

Qingque consistently achieved a score of 60 in every subject throughout her school years, making her a true genius at grading.

After the teachers discovered this, they pulled Qingque aside and said that this child was destined for greatness if he studied hard, but Qingque didn't care.

The reason why Qingque's grades have always been just passing, and even after so many years in the Tai Bu Division, he is still just an ordinary diviner, is because... Qingque can actually get full marks.

The mindset of wanting to get 100 points but getting 60 points is completely different from the mindset of being able to get 100 points but only wanting to get 60 points.

Qingque really wants to learn dark magic, but she just can't.

Qingque is a little vulnerable.

"Forget it, I'm not teaching you anymore. If I teach you any more, I'll go crazy. Let me eat something to recover." Feeling completely drained, Chen Li took out the local specialty that Garden Lily Bell had given him and started munching on it.

The flesh of the evil god tasted surprisingly delicious, and perhaps due to the Little Evil God's constitution, her tail meat really only had one bone, the rest was all meat, making it super convenient to eat.

"Chen Li, aren't you an ordinary person? Why are you still so young after spending 100 years of your Life Force?" Qingque naturally chose to change the subject.

"Oh, the level of the Miraculous Forger can extend lifespan. At my current level, living for a thousand or eight hundred years shouldn't be a problem," Chen Li said.

"Then let's continue forging Miraculous Item. Didn't you want to create a Revival Artifacts?" Qingque no longer wanted to learn magic, changed the subject again.

Magic, my mortal enemy!

"That works too... The flesh of the Little Evil God is really good. Besides restoring Life Force, it can also restore the energy consumed when forging Miraculous Item." Chen Li nodded.

"If you're going to create Revival Artifacts, what type do you want to create?"

"Um... wait a minute, let me ask a professional." After thinking for a moment, Chen Li opened his Friends Circle, selected a contact, and posted the question.

[Old Man]: Silver Wolf, I have a question for you.

[Silver Wolf]: Speak quickly, I'm busy fighting the boss. Wait, aren't you fighting the boss too?

[Dad]: Uh, how about voice input?

[Silver Wolf]: Why don't I have this function?

[Dad]: Nonsense, how can a regular terminal be the same as a deluxe VIP terminal? The highest-end terminal can even perform holographic projection interaction. Screwllum uses this one.

[Silver Wolf]: What? Screwllum has a top-tier version? I'll have one too!

[Dad]: 8.8 billion Credits, thank you for your patronage.

[Silver Wolf]: What kind of terminal is so expensive? Why don't you just rob it? I can't afford it even if I sell it.

[Dad]: Sigh, what nonsense are you spouting? Don't you have a bounty of 5.1 billion? Just surrender once, have your partner rescue you once, surrender again, and be rescued once more, and you'll have enough, right?

[Silver Wolf]:... Or tell me what question you want to ask me?

[Dad]: Here's the thing, I want to create a Revival Artifacts. I'd like to ask if there's a convenient and quick way to resurrect someone in the Interastral Peace Corporation game?

[Silver Wolf]: Resurrection Coin?

[Dad]: No, that's too virtual. It would be best if this kind of thing existed in real-world competitive games, and everyone knew about it.

[Silver Wolf]: Oh, you mean... there really is. Aetherium Wars? They recently released a really outrageous in-game mini-game where if you lose a match, you can watch a 30-second ad to revive.

[Dad]: It seems... it's not impossible. Thanks.

[Silver Wolf]: Don't thank me yet. Tell me how you want to repay me. We're competitors now.

[Dad]: Here's what we'll do. I'll give you a fragment of the Deluxe VIP Edition terminal. Collect 10 fragments and you can exchange them for the Deluxe VIP Edition terminal. How about it?

[Silver Wolf]: Okay! But... you wouldn't be like some of the unscrupulous games from Interastral Peace Corporation, where after I collect 9 fragments, they give me another 0.9 fragments, and the remaining 0.1 fragment requires 9 Diamonds and 9 gold coins, and it goes on indefinitely, right?

[Dad]: This is now an automatic reply. Do not disturb while in the game.

Silver Wolf:... Probably not, right?

"Screwllum, I need to discuss something. Could you call the game designer from the Aetherium Wars in-game mini-game to Xianzhou? And have him bring his tools of the trade." Chen Li once again turned to his only remaining connection.

As for Silver Wolf's suspicions?

That's slander!

Because Chen Li will separate the fragments into Crystals and Starstones, instead of Diamonds and gold coins.

"What? The Aetherium Wars planner is on the Xianzhou? Tell him to wait, I'm going to find him right now!"

Chapter 107: 30-Second Ad and the Entry for "Resurrection"

"Very good, come again tomorrow." Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Li nodded with considerable satisfaction and said to the person opposite him.

"Ah, again?" The barbarian standing opposite Chen Li, holding the Aether Spirit Coin, was completely dumbfounded.

"Yeah, this is nothing yet," Chen Li nodded.

[Advertisement] Entry Extraction in progress...

Progress: 300/1000 (Watching the Resurrection advertisement in the Aetherium Wars in-game mini-game can increase progress)

The entry for "Resurrection" Extraction...

Progress: 120/10000 (Watching the Resurrection advertisement in the Aetherium Wars in-game mini-game can increase progress)

Each Resurrection advertisement is 30 seconds long, can be viewed twice per minute, and can be viewed 120 times per hour.

However, since it takes time to admit defeat, only 300 more attempts were made in about three hours.

Chen Li planned to extract the term "[Advertisement]" from the other party, but he would skip the "[Resurrection]" term.

At 100 attempts per hour, it would take 100 hours to revive an entry.

This time, it's really not as good as Houraisan Kaguya.

Houraisan Kaguya were to revive 10,000 times, it would be faster than this.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, the "advertisement" entry is much rarer than "resurrection" because Chen Li does know quite a few people who can be resurrected.

Chen Li even has a "Resurrection" entry from the Shard of the Four Souls, but Chen Li feels it's not bright enough.

"Can you please not pick me? I only came to Xianzhou because I heard there are Foxians here, and they all have tails. I came here because I wanted to pet their tails, not to fight you and then watch resurrection ads. Can't I just give you my food?" the ad placement planner cried.

Chen Li and the planner used the prototype of the initial version of the built-in mini-game, which was also Chen Li's special request.

The reason the other party was so upset was mainly because he was the one who surrendered and watched the Resurrection advertisement, while Chen Li was watching him watch the ad from the side.

"You still have the nerve to cry? Cry? Crying counts as time! Is it because I don't want to watch the ad? Isn't it because you, you bastard, added a pupil-locking function to the 30-second ad? You just put the ad there and wasted 30 seconds of my time, and you still expect me to stare at it without blinking?" Chen Li got angry when he talked about this.

Chen Li had originally intended to watch the advertisements himself, but...

Chen Li originally thought that having a shake function built into the ads was bad enough, but he didn't expect that the planner would actually develop a killer look.

In other words, as soon as the system detects that your gaze has shifted away from the advertisement, it will immediately redirect you to the link where the advertisement is located and automatically download the app.

That's really despicable.

"Even if you have connections, you can't insult me like this and waste my time like this!" the planner said defiantly.

"Fine, you can leave now. After you leave, I'll upload your photo to the Aetherium Wars Forum and expose your identity as the planner." Chen Li crossed his arms.

Based on how unethical this plan is, if he gets exposed and doesn't get ambushed on the street, he's probably this (thumbs up).

After all the players in the Aetherium Wars learned of his identity as the planner, they were able to keep him healthy and free from illness for three consecutive days. They are this (thumbs down).

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." This planner immediately slid to his knees.

It seems he knows exactly how despicable he is.

"Here's some money to buy eye drops." Chen Li casually tossed some Credits to the other party, then turned and left.

[Chen Li]: Yakumo Yukari Are you there? Are you there?

[Yakumo Yukari]: Yes, what's up? Young boy, is there something you need?

Chen Li directly chatted with Yakumo Yukari in private, so Chen Li's nickname is Chen Li, not "Dad".

[Chen Li]: In your Gensokyo, there is a creature called a fairy. Fairies have the ability to Infinite Resurrection, right?

[Yakumo Yukari]: That's right.

The fairies of Gensokyo are a magical species. They possess an almost immortal resurrection ability, and can quickly recover even from severe injuries that shatter their bodies.

Even if it is completely crushed, it will not die completely and will still appear in front of you lively and energetic the next day.

People in Gensokyo generally believe that fairies are manifestations of nature. Strictly speaking, fairies are immortal.

Unless... they are unaware of their extraordinary power, they may die.

In exchange for their powerful Life Force, they may have sacrificed a little bit of their intelligence.

Fairies are generally not very intelligent.

[Chen Li]: I need the resurrection attribute, so I hope you can help me collect some personal items from fairies.

[Yakumo Yukari]: Hey, you know what, I actually have something like that. I'll send it to you in a bit.

[Chen Li]: So fast?

Chen Li was surprised that Yakumo Yukari would send him a red envelope without even discussing the price, so he opened the envelope with great hesitation and received what Yakumo Yukari had mentioned.

"What is this?" Chen Li tilted his head, looking at the half-sword-shaped ice crystal in his hand.

That's right, it was only half, because the other half was charged as delivery fee.

[Yakumo Yukari]: These are the wings of a fairy named Cirno.

[Chen Li]: Ah, wings?

These don't really look like wings, but it's not impossible that they could be Cirno's Wings.
