Meanwhile, inside the Rune Research Institute.
Today, the Rune Research Institute is a renowned rune cultivation sect in the Pan Emperor Continent. Although the sect's name is somewhat strange, it does not affect its status as an important sect in the rune cultivation world.
After Chen Village becomes Chen Kingdom, the Rune Research Institute will also become a pillar and state religion of the Chen Kingdom.
In the very center of the Rune Research Institute, inside Chen Mu's research room.
Chen Mu sat upright in his work chair, with a multi-layered rune pattern floating in front of him. Thousands of tiny rune dots surrounded him. He would occasionally raise his hand to pick out a few rune dots and place them next to the pattern in front of him, his expression extremely focused.
The Rune Research Institute ' ability to advance technology to its current level so quickly is largely due to the magic of runes.
In the microscopic realm, the smallest unit of electricity is called an electron, the smallest unit of light is called a photon, the smallest unit of Spiritual Power is called Spirit Particle, and the smallest unit of runes, which Chen Mu currently calls ' Talisman Particle '.
Originally, he, like other talisman cultivators, believed that runes were the smallest unit of the Dao of Talismans.
It wasn't until Chen Mu's cultivation improved and he could clearly see the internal structure of each rune in his Divine Soul that he realized that runes were formed by combining Talisman Particle.
Through observing Talisman Particle, he deduced three Dao of Talismans laws of Dao of Talismans principles, which he named the ' Chen Mu's Laws ' without any modesty.
The emergence of Chen Mu's Laws greatly changed the research process of Dao of Talismans.
Through these three laws, the Rune Research Institute invented many runes that had never appeared before, and improved many complex traditional runes.
For example, when it comes to flying, traditional cultivators can only rely on the powerful Spiritual Power of heaven and earth to lift themselves up, thus achieving the goal of flying.
Chen Mu invented the 'Anti-Gravity Rune', which counteracts gravity from a microscopic perspective. It only requires a small amount of Spiritual Power energy to achieve flight. It is thanks to this rune that the Rune Research Institute can mass-produce the Rune Puppet Flying Car.
There's also communication. Traditional 'communication jade tablets' are made from a very rare spirit wood combined with communication runes. The energy utilization efficiency is very low, which means that each communication consumes a considerable amount of Spiritual Power.
Chen Mu used the Spiritual Power and magnetic field of the Pan Emperor World to invent signal runes, and then used the signal runes to establish the ' Spirit Network '.
With a 'communication mobile phone' connected to the Spirit Network, a single Grade 1 Spirit Stone can last for several days, making long-distance communication no longer a luxury. The development of information will rapidly change people's lives.
Besides these, there are also Spirit Particle particle fusion runes, genetically modified runes, smart runes, and so on...
Almost all of the inventions made by the Rune Research Institute in the past six years are inseparable from the ' Chen Mu's Laws '. If this were an enlightened modern society, Chen Mu would be a great man of the times based on this achievement alone.
However, this is a fantasy world, Chen Mu's three laws cannot even be made public, because no sect in this world will reveal their cultivation methods or secret formulas. Even if Chen Mu wanted to reveal them, no one would care.
Just as Chen Mu was engrossed in his research, a soft knock sounded at the door.
"Who?"
Chen Mu frowned; he disliked being disturbed while he was doing his research.
" A Mu, I knew you'd forgotten the time again."
The founding ceremony is about to begin, so hurry up and come out!
Chen Zihu's voice came from outside the door.
"Oh..."
Chen Mu then remembered that he had promised his third uncle that he would attend the founding ceremony.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Chen Mu made a virtual gesture in the air to save the new runes he had researched, and then called out to Xiaozhi.
" Xiaozhi, clean yourself up and change your clothes while you're at it."
He spread his arms out in a starfish shape, and a mechanical arm quickly extended from his head.
Squeak... click-click.
In a dozen or so breaths, he changed into a brand new blue robe and stepped out of the room.
"Wow... A Mu, in terms of temperament, you seem to be able to rival me."
Chen Zihu held his head high, it was unclear whether he was praising Chen Mu or himself.
Let's go!
Chen Mu was too lazy to argue with him, so he walked out of the Rune Research Institute with him and flew towards the main hall of the inner city.
After Chen Village was established as a state, the inner city was naturally transformed into the Chen Kingdom palace. As a result, the buildings here are now tall and magnificent, especially the main hall of the Golden Palace used for holding court, which covers an area of fifty li and has a square outside that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Now that Chen Village has been established as a nation, many foreign guests have come, so Chen Mu can no longer use teleportation recklessly and has switched to walking.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chen Mu and Chen Zihu went up the stairs together and entered the main hall of the palace through the side door.
" A Mu, you've finally arrived!"
Chen Hongjie and many other high-ranking officials in Chen Village had actually been prepared for a long time and were all waiting for Chen Mu.
"Let's go!"
At Chen Hongjie's command, he led everyone out through the main gate.
Outside the main hall, a large sacrificial cauldron had already been set up, and hundreds of thousands of people were lined up below, all of them representatives who had come to congratulate Chen Village on the founding of the nation.
"The founding ceremony of the Chen Kingdom officially begins..."
Chen Hongjie led thousands of high-ranking officials from Chen Village to begin the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, praying to the heavens.
Chen Mu stood beside him, watching silently.
At the founding ceremony, Chen Mu stated that he would only attend and would not participate in any other activities.
Chen Hongjie knew that Chen Mu disliked these formalities, so he didn't make things difficult for Chen Mu.
Half an hour later, after Chen Hongjie finished praying, he began to confer official titles upon the senior members of Chen Village.
" Chen Mu is appointed as the Imperial Preceptor, Rune Research Institute is designated as the state religion..."
" Chen Zihu is hereby granted the title of Grand General of the State..."
" Zheng Fengdao, hereby confers upon the Special Forces Commander..."
The conferment of official titles lasted for more than an hour, after which the ceremony was considered truly over.
Next came the segment where envoys from all over the world presented gifts to the Chen Kingdom. During this segment, Chen Mu no longer needed to stand next to Chen Hongjie, so he went backstage, found a spot, and sat down to rest.
As he waited idly for the ceremony to end, his keen senses noticed two familiar figures below.
" Xiao Zi, that Chen Kingdom Preceptor Chen, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before. Do you remember him?"
The speaker was a graceful woman in blue.
"Hmm, the facial features do look somewhat familiar, but there are so many people in the world who look alike, I can't remember exactly who it is."
The woman called Xiao Zi also looked puzzled.
Chen Mu smirked, never expecting to run into these two women again after all these years.
It's normal that the two women didn't recognize him at first, since he was only eleven years old at the time, but he remembered them very clearly.
If it weren't for those two, I might not have been able to obtain the Holy Soul Grass back then, and Chen Village might have already been destroyed by the Wumeng Tribe.
