317: You are now surrounded by me.

Cry!

Nine Phoenix refined the overflowing Spiritual Qi from the Colorful Fierce Tiger, and its Soul wildly expanded as if it had consumed a great tonic.

Its body, which had originally transformed into the appearance of a Little Yellow Chicken, surged with magic power and instantly reverted to its massive true form.

Its body was over six meters tall with a tail over three meters long. When it spread its wings, blue flames burned fiercely, reducing the surrounding stones, asphalt, and dirt entirely to ash.

"Oh no, this simpleton wants to Break through based on the Legacy in its memory!"

Xu Le didn't bother absorbing the overflowing Spiritual Qi from the Old Turtle. He instantly teleported next to Nine Phoenix and pointed a finger at its glabella.

"Nine Phoenix, this world is special. You can only achieve a Soul Breakthrough; don't try to Break through the Physical Body."

After speaking, he still felt uneasy and separated a bit of his Divine Soul to help suppress and condense the vast and boundless Soul.

Hearing its master's voice, Nine Phoenix sobered up, secretly feeling a sense of dread.

It quickly stopped the Breakthrough method from the Legacy. Instead, following the rules of this world and incorporating its own memory Legacy, it began to condense its Divine Soul.

Time slowly passed. With Xu Le's help, Nine Phoenix finally sublimated its Soul into a Divine Soul.

"Master Brother, I succeeded! I'm a god too!" Nine Phoenix excitedly flapped its wings.

To be precise, Nine Phoenix, like the current Xu Le, became half a god.

The Divine Soul was divine, but the body was still mortal.

However, Nine Phoenix's body was much stronger.

Ghost ran over: "Master, there is too much Spiritual Qi in the Ancestral Spirit Space, I can barely control it."

Yamata no Orochi's Spiritual Qi was already terrifying, and adding the Old Turtle's Spiritual Qi completely overwhelmed Ghost.

Xu Le quickly began refining the Spiritual Qi. His Divine Soul was nourished and began to grow rapidly.

This world had virtually no Bottlenecks. After he refined all the Spiritual Qi, his Realm had already risen to Divine-Grade Middle Stage, and his Physical Body felt like it was about to burst.

Fortunately, he had previously learned a method for Sealing the Divine Soul, allowing him to Seal his Divine Soul at the Blazing Sun Realm Peak level.

Now his Spirit Domain had further ascended; everything within 10 kilometers belonged to his Spirit Domain, and no disturbance could escape his notice.

His perception of malice spread even further, reaching ten thousand kilometers. Within this range, he could easily sense anyone's malicious intent towards him.

Nine Phoenix sensed Xu Le opening his eyes and happily flew over: "Master, where are we going now?"

Xu Le said: "We're going to Japan."

"Why go to Japan? To see the cherry blossoms?"

"Something like that!" Killing intent filled Xu Le's eyes.

What angered him most this time was that S City was almost bombed by a Hydrogen Bomb. The mastermind behind all this was the already deceased Tanaka Yumi.

Great Xia has always emphasized that courtesy demands reciprocity.

As a new-era youth who grew up immersed in Great Xia culture, Xu Le naturally intended to stir up trouble in Japan.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

His phone started vibrating.

Xu Le took out his phone and saw it was his roommate, Gong Juren.

"Brother Le, the movie script didn't pass the review, and neither did the online broadcast review."

"Oh! Then forget about it! No more filming movies."

"Don't say that! Did you forget the heroic words of Dorm 206? We must conquer the world with movies. If we don't film, we'd rather die! Awoo~"

"I feel like there's a better way to conquer the world."

The voice on the other end immediately became anxious: "Brother Le, you can't do this. If you have a good path, you have to bring me along! We're the best partners! In the days without you..."

"Stop! My path is a bit dangerous."

"Is it illegal?"

"I don't know! I don't really understand these things."

"Is it related to prostitution, gambling, or drugs?"

"No."

"Will it hurt the feelings of our Great Xia common people?"

"It won't hurt the feelings of the true Great Xia common people, but for the fake ones, that's uncertain."

"Will we be nailed to the pillar of shame?"

"No."

"Will..."

"Hanging up!"

"Don't! Brother Le! Take me with you, I can definitely help you handle many things."

"Like destroying Japan?"

"I can be the translator! I'll go even if it means certain death."

"Then buy a ticket to Edo and meet up. No waiting if you're late."

Xu Le couldn't be bothered to argue with him and directly bought a ticket to Edo... Edo.

Gong Juren carried a small bag containing the script for *Elm Street*, storyboards, shooting budget, and so on. As for other things, he didn't bring them to save time.

'Is Brother Le messing with me? Was it irresponsible of me to rush over here just because I acted on a whim?'

'No, Brother Le isn't that kind of person. Even if he was, being fooled once would be worth it.'

Just as he was feeling anxious, his shoulder was patted. He turned his head and saw Xu Le, and a Little Yellow Chicken that had just hatched standing on his shoulder.

"Brother Le, your little pet is quite unique."

Gong Juren was very excited and reached out a finger to touch Nine Phoenix's belly.

Nine Phoenix stretched its head and pecked him. Gong Juren cried out in pain and withdrew his hand; blood was already flowing out.

Xu Le "hurriedly" grabbed a tissue: "Sigh, you're too careless. Nine Phoenix pecks people when it's shy. Luckily, it recognized you as my friend, or you'd be worse off."

"Oh!" Gong Juren looked miserable. What could he do after being injured by a small pet? Endure it, of course. He couldn't possibly hit the pet, could he?

Only a layer of skin was broken on his finger—it was all Xu Le's prank—and it was quickly taken care of.

Gong Juren asked: "Brother Le, what is our plan?"

"First, rent a Presidential Suite."

"Okay, I'll handle it!" Gong Juren had previously worked as a Producer and was fluent in Japanese, so he was familiar with these things and quickly sorted it out.

"And then?"

"Then we go to the Presidential Suite, and then order a batch of A4 paper," Xu Le thought of his plan and added, "The more, the better."

"Are ten packs enough?"

"Barely."

Xu Le nodded. His strength had greatly increased. The folded paper figurines possessed Blazing Sun Realm cultivation. Ten packs of paper contained 5,000 sheets, enough for him to create ten thousand paper figurines.

If it were before, it would take him more than 10 hours to finish folding, but after he and Nine Phoenix advanced to Divine-Grade, plus Ghost, the three of them—with the help of the folded paper figurines—could finish in about four hours... The next morning.

Gong Juren called in several professional Makeup Artists to apply makeup for Xu Le.

"Sir, what kind of look do you require."

"Like a god!" Gong Juren translated from the side.

"Nani?"

Gong Juren also looked at Xu Le strangely, then continued translating: "Overbearing and disdainful. Draw the appearance that inspires the most awe and fear in your heart."

"Ah? Why would one fear a god?"

Gong Juren looked to Xu Le for help; he didn't know why either.

Xu Le said: "They'll know later. Let them draw first. If they do a good job, I'll raise their salary by 10 percent."

The two Makeup Artists immediately beamed and quickly got to work.

An hour later, Xu Le looked at the sharp-featured, cold, and arrogant image in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go, depart."

"Where to?"

"The Television Station."

"Ah? But we aren't ready yet, we haven't even confirmed the actors."

"No need, I'm already prepared!"

Xu Le took a car to Edo's largest Television Station. As soon as he landed, he released twenty paper figurines and activated them.

The onlookers gasped continuously, thinking it was some kind of magic show.

Xu Le walked through the door and immediately announced: "You are surrounded by me."
