God Capital, Luojing.
Eastern Dawn Military Industry Group Headquarters.
This was a colossal building constructed by Wang Clan Construction. The cement and bricks used within had all been refined from slag from Chaos mines, while the steel reinforcement and wooden structures were made from high-quality spirit iron and spirit timber.
Even the glass used in the curtain walls had been refined with precious star jade sand as its base material, making it both crystal-clear and exceptionally sturdy.
For that reason, so long as it received regular maintenance, this headquarters building might endure for hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of years.

The Wang Clan's current eldest legitimate daughter, Wang Jinlu, was upgrading and modifying the Crystal Ancient puppet, Jing Beidi, with her mother Jing Feifei's assistance.
Seventy years earlier, Wang Anye and the Primordial Dao Lord had joined hands and found the remnants and relics of Jing Beidi and the Nine Suns Alchemy Saint, who had perished together. After being concealed by the Sacred Reincarnation Plant, the Nine Suns Alchemy Saint's remnant soul had joined the Wang Clan Alchemy Directorate, where he taught and assisted Wang Shouye in alchemy.
Jing Beidi's remnant soul, meanwhile, had entered a Thirteenth Rank Crystal Ancient puppet. Since childhood, he had served as the bodyguard of the Wang Clan's three little ones—or, more precisely, primarily as Wang Jinlu's bodyguard.
Of course, Jing Beidi also served as Wang Jinlu's "study companion" and "research subject." The latter had been his principal job for over seventy years.
Thanks to the intelligence she inherited from her mother Jing Feifei, coupled with the fact that she herself was the reincarnation of the mighty Crystal Thirty-Nine, Wang Jinlu had displayed extraordinary talent in research and spiritual power
