"Brother Li, you are indeed incredibly capable. You already knew about this place when the planning and construction had only just begun."
Baili Qiu's voice was much more cheerful, completely unlike the dejected look he had last met. It seemed that, thanks to the server's momentum, he had taken off once again.
"The server has already established trade routes within the Sihali Kingdom. At the current rate, it's not impossible that this thing could trigger a new generation of civilizational change."
"Brother Li provided the technology, so you'll naturally get your share. The Star Lord Fang opened an account in Brother Li's name at the Convention, and the money has already been transferred to you."
Li Xingkong was actually rather indifferent to money, after all, it was basically just a tool in the face of strength.
Things that money can buy, Li Xingkong can get for free with his reputation. And things that money can't buy, he has plenty of ways to get his hands on.
However, this server is not a small business, so it would be good to have Divine Land help him manage it.
Divine Land is currently lacking in many things, and this influx of funds has alleviated its Divine Land crisis.
"To be honest, I also have ways of detecting servers. Recently, several servers have been checking my information, did you know that?"
Li Xingkong has always been frank and straightforward, adhering to the principle of speaking his mind directly.
After all, Baili Qiu still needs this thing to make a comeback, so even if he knew about this, he would never give up on the server path.
Besides, it's just leaving a backdoor; it's not like everyone's done it before.
"Is that so? I'll go investigate."
Baili Qiu hurriedly replied, and then heard a flurry of activity coming from the other side. It seemed that Baili Qiu had mobilized quite a few people to investigate the matter.
There was a silence for about 5 minutes before Baili Qiu responded.
"Brother Li, we've found it."
"A total of three servers have checked your information. One is in the hands of Star Lord Fang, and another two are located in a server company in the Sihali Kingdom. They may have a mole planted among us who has obtained your information. The last one is a remnant of Xuan Qingzi, and they are currently searching for your location."
"Do you want me to lend a hand? Although Xuan Qingzi's power is still considerable, I can still hinder them a bit."
Sure enough, on the internet in the Sihali Kingdom, no news could escape Baili Qiu's eyes; the kid had indeed added a backdoor to the server.
"No need. Just add a message saying I'm going to visit Star Lord Fang at the Pleasure Tower tomorrow, and include this itinerary in the message."
Li Xingkong performed some Hexagram and constructed a galactic route to Fang Ritu.
The wonder of Divine Sense writing lies here: Li Xingkong did not need to transmit the text; he simply converted it into a sound format and directly transmitted the content into Baili Qiu's consciousness.
"I understand. This is what your military strategy calls 'borrowing a path to attack Guo,' or 'openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing Chencang.' Brother Li is indeed brilliant."
Baili Qiu received the information and transmitted it to the server.
"No, no, no, this route is real. Rather than letting them choose the ambush location, I'll choose it myself."
"Since we're going to have to fight anyway, I still prefer a head-on confrontation."
Just kidding. Li Xingkong released his whereabouts to attract attention and prevent Xuan Qingzi's die-hard followers from targeting Earth Star. Naturally, he wouldn't use any tricks.
He wanted to show everyone that he could kill every enemy with a single punch.
"..."
Baili Qiu was stunned by Li Xingkong's actions and remained silent for a long time.
"Hiss, Brother Li, I've never even dared to think about something like this..."
To be honest, after this rise and fall, Baili Qiu has come to see through the true nature of power. As long as he can't climb to the top and has no one behind him, he can be taken down with just a word.
His comeback is no different. Backed by the Star Lord and Li Xingkong, and holding key resources, he is prepared to avenge the humiliation of the past.
But Li Xingkong's actions made him waver.
It seems that in the face of absolute individual power, so-called power is nothing more than a toy.
If he had Li Xingkong's strength, would he have been so humiliated and driven out of Knows Everything, becoming a prisoner?
The answer is obvious.
"Alright, the route and information are all sorted out. Do you need any help? With our current financial resources, hiring a group of mercenaries shouldn't be a problem."
"There's no need to waste money on this. The arrival of those mercenaries will only hinder my ability to maneuver."
Li Xingkong shook his head, rejecting Baili Qiu's suggestion.
Mercenaries that can be hired with money don't have the capability to handle the situation that follows.
After instructing Baili Qiu on what he needed to do, Li Xingkong cut off contact.
Now that the news has been released, it's time for me to set off.
Having entrusted the route to the Hexagram, Li Xingkong once again entered a state of trusteeship.
The Hexagram, through calculation, carried Li Xingkong's body on its journey, while Li Xingkong himself projected his consciousness into his two-dimensional body.
There was nothing else to do on the journey, and there wasn't enough time for him to cultivate, so he might as well take this opportunity to explore the two-dimensional world first.
After a long period of adaptation, Li Xingkong now has a certain understanding of things in the two-dimensional world.
Although the two-dimensional world also has its own native species, such as some organisms and matter, the most common things in the two-dimensional world are projections of three-dimensional organisms.
Because of his two-dimensional plus three-dimensional perspective, Li Xingkong can quickly distinguish whether the things he encounters in the two-dimensional world are projections or native species, but other two-dimensional creatures are different.
They cannot directly distinguish whether it is a projection or not. Only when the matter in the three-dimensional world undergoes deformation or displacement will it synchronously affect the two-dimensional world and bring about different changes.
They can only distinguish whether it is a projection through this change.
Therefore, the biggest problem that plagues creatures living in a two-dimensional world is how to understand the world.
Although the projection of high latitudes into the three-dimensional world is relatively difficult to observe, it is precisely because it is difficult to observe that it is very easy to determine the physical rules and properties of things.
However, three dimensions have a significant impact on two dimensions. If a three-dimensional creature moves even slightly, the corresponding two-dimensional projection will change drastically.
This also makes it much more difficult for organisms to judge matter.
It was through this unique perspective that Li Xingkong gradually became familiar with the two-dimensional world.
During the process of getting acquainted with the world, Li Xingkong also discovered the natives of the two-dimensional world—a strange two-dimensional creature.
Without eyes or any conventional sensory organs, it is like an insect, relying entirely on touch to perceive the outside world.
Its tentacles are like radar, allowing it to glimpse the general outlines of objects in the two-dimensional world, thus enabling it to "see" the entire world.
