213: Complete!

Breaking through the whole from a single point.

Before, his scalp was tingling with anxiety, and he could only take it one step at a time.

Now, there's a path forward.

At least before the Blue Star mutation, Ye Su and Great Xia can survive until the very end.

As for what happens after that, we'll think about it then!

'Combat power, combat power. I must improve my combat power.'

'As long as my combat power increases enough to ensure I won't be instantly killed by Lu Yiyi at Ascension Level Two, then everything is possible!'

Ye Su felt greatly reassured!

He hurried to cultivate.

---Amidst countless bronze walls and iron bastions, through repeated wall-facing meditations.

Blue Star has welcomed true hope.

Ye Su's idea wasn't a pipe dream; it was real!

Life will always find a way.

And now, that way has been found.

Ister, backed by the Universe Ghost Race, seems completely invincible.

But don't forget, its own strength isn't that great.

Furthermore,

the party a coming over won't be too overwhelming either!

There is a breakthrough point here.

What if a powerhouse among the natives of this planet reaches Ascension Level Two or Ascension Three?

Would the Ghost Race project experts over to suppress them?

But that comes with a cost.

The Universe doesn't care about hatred, only interests.

The stronger the individual, the greater the cost of projection!

At that time, to control costs, Ister will inevitably have to negotiate with Ye Su.

The Universe doesn't care about Face, only interests.

Ister will make concessions for the sake of cost, as long as Ye Su doesn't ask for too much.

Of course.

All of this depends on whether the Golden Crow and Ye Su can pull it off.

Two matters are, in fact, one.

Blue Star currently has the timing, and with the luck of various races, it should be enough to support one person's promotion to Ascension Level Two.

But it's too close to the limit; the slightest deviation and it will fail.

But if the Golden Crow falls, then it would be more than enough.

Sacrificing one Ascension Level Two to nurture another.

Perfectly logical!

So, what seem like two matters are actually just one.

'I feel like that guy is trying to find a way to break the deadlock,' Lu Yiyi said.

Ye Su hadn't contacted her at all.

The Blue Star natives... no, the Blue Star Human Race... must have something in their possession that matches the value of the Martial Arts Hall.

But Ye Su hasn't made any exchanges.

That means they still have hope.

'Breaking the deadlock? I'm looking forward to it too.'

Ister said.

If the deadlock is broken, Ister will prosper immensely.

Allowing the Golden Crow to remain in the sky even without consuming timing.

Good heavens.

This is a path monopolized by Mutated Planets!

A monopoly means endless wealth!

'Ahem, if... it really is possible, then could my Star Spirit Clan also have a hand in it?'

Lu Yiyi asked.

She was very perceptive.

If the deadlock is broken, the Golden Crow Clan will be finished.

The Ghost Race will definitely launch a campaign against them.

And the Star Spirit Clan will inevitably participate to get a piece of the pie.

'What are you talking about? I don't understand.'

Ister feigned ignorance.

His status was different from Lu Yiyi's.

He was a worker for the Wang Clan under the Ghost Race, somewhat like a contractor who had taken on this project.

Meanwhile, Lu Yiyi was sent by the Star Spirit Clan to gain experience; she would return afterward. Someone with her connections was definitely an important member of the Star Spirit Clan.

As a contractor, he didn't want to get too involved with a princess-level Young Miss.

Regardless, he would just report it when the time came.

The higher-ups would handle it.

She chuckled.

Lu Yiyi gave a light laugh and stopped responding.

Meanwhile,

she turned her gaze toward the distance.

There, Soul Devourers were constantly growing stronger, and some...

...among them were already approaching the level of Ascension One.

However, she wasn't worried.

Once a Soul Devourer reaches the level of Ascension One, they go mad and die.

In the long history of the Universe, only three Ascension Level Two Soul Devourers have ever appeared, and all of them died in a frenzy immediately after their promotion.

After all, it wasn't the Righteous Path.

They could not touch the orthodoxy of power.

---Time passed, second by second.

The various races of Blue Star had all vanished from sight, making their final preparations.

Ye Su was also frantically improving himself under this pressure.

The Research Institute was cooperating with him fully.

'The No. 5 potion has already been developed over in Suhang.'

'Because the production of Rank 5 Spirit Medicine requires mutation, almost every stalk is of Peerless Grade.'

'So, the No. 5 potion...'

The Research Institute in Luoyang watched as stalks of Peerless Grade Spirit Medicine were uprooted, boxed, and taken away, their hearts bleeding.

'Uproot them, uproot them all!'

'The Imperial Capital has issued a strict order; we must ensure a sufficient supply of the No. 5 potion.'

Two days ago, Ye Su had made his intentions clear.

He wanted to reach 200 points of Physique as quickly as possible.

Therefore, all the resources of Great Xia—whether Peerless Grade Spirit Medicine or resources scraped from others—had to be gathered.

Zhuge Hu in Suhang had even gone so far as to organize a large number of Professionals to 'donate blood' to extract human great elixirs.

Fortunately, Li Qing put a stop to it.

That lunatic Zhuge Hu is truly a madman!

...

Tangshan Research Institute.

'This is the maximum amount of mutated metal with 99.99% blood qi conductivity we can produce!'

Dean Lu Cuo said, his Face pale.

The manufacturing of blood qi metal followed an ancient method!

Specifically, blood qi forging.

It could conduct blood qi only because of the ancient forging method, which hammered blood qi into it bit by bit.

Achieving 80% conductivity was simple, and Tangshan already had a group of such talents.

However, the higher-ups had requested a suit of armor for Ye Su.

That meant the blood qi conductivity had to be pushed to the absolute limit.

99.99%.

That was the absolute limit!

It was impossible to go any higher.

Dean Lu Cuo was nearly killing himself over the anvil.

'Begin crafting the armor!'

Lu Cuo said coldly.

Subsequently, the sounds of rhythmic clanging rang out.

---Mountain City.

The Mountain City Research Institute, which had taken on the Blood Qi Heavy Armor technology.

They were also assembling a massive piece of heavy armor.

Meanwhile, Mo Bosha was recruiting a large number of Qin Formation Regiment members.

Regardless of whether Ying Si could hold out,

the power of the final combined strike had to be immense.

Immense enough to even give the Golden Crow a jolt.

---Finally.

There was the Imperial Capital.

A middle-aged man in a crisp Mao suit began traveling to various places by plane.

The continent of South Africa.

A literal skeleton emitted a terrifying aura.

It was, remarkably, a terrifying Soul Devourer.

The plane circled above.

Several Professionals brought The Executor down from the sky, stepping through the air.

'This is too dangerous.'

'Executor, let me go instead!'

'Don't try to dissuade me; this requires me, and it must be me,' The Executor said.

The Executor said.

An ordinary person had almost no way to protect themselves in front of a Soul Devourer of this level.

Roar...

A low growl sounded.

Dense Soul power was practically fluctuating.

Against a Soul Devourer of this level, The Executor and the Professionals would be killed instantly!

But strangely, it forced itself to hold back.

The group landed on the ground.

The Executor stepped out from his nominal protection and walked toward the Soul Devourer.

'Comrade Hu Hai, the time has come for Great Xia to test you.'

In a daze,

time seemed to drift back to a specific moment.

The blade mountain grass leaf.

The words Lei Yongtian once used to rebuke Zhang Hui:

'Zhang Hui, this is a cruel era!'

'I, you, and our millions of comrades are all prepared to make sacrifices!'

Indeed.

Everyone was already prepared, weren't they?

Moreover,

'I will resolutely complete the mission!'

The skeleton, Hu Hai, used his last shred of will to speak with absolute determination.

'This counts as being both loyal and righteous. It's truly good.'

Hu Hai's final flicker of will grew even firmer.

The plane departed—The Executor had gambled his life to complete the final link in the chain.
