526: Sudden accident

Time flowed like water.

Ten days had passed in a flash since Yang Dian placed the Wenlan Pavilion on Mars.

On this particular day, Yang Dian, who was lying in his courtyard petting Big Black Cat, suddenly felt a premonition.

He had the Dimension Butterfly open a portal, teleporting him to the Dimensional Battlefield, which was composed of the four stars: Azurewave, Great Azure, Chongming, and Little Star God.

On Canglan Star, the Immortal Capital's Eastern Heavenly Palace had been completely incinerated by Little Star God using a super magnifying glass.

Or rather, the Immortal Capital no longer existed on Canglan Star.

As the Immortal Palace vanished and the Formation supporting the Immortal Capital shattered, the Immortal Capital also fell from the sky, plunging into the deep sea.

Countless years later, if any future explorers were to discover the ruins of the Immortal Capital, they might weave all sorts of mythical tales about it.

Of course, the reason Yang Dian felt a premonition and arrived at the Dimensional Battlefield was not the fallen Immortal Capital.

It was Canglan Star's moons.

Canglan Star had two moons.

One had a diameter of 3500 kilometers, and the other also had a diameter of 3500 kilometers.

At this very moment, Little Star God was holding one of these moons, treating it as a snack.

Coincidentally, that moon was the one Yang Dian had used to store the star core fragment bracelet.

"Even after eating the star core fragment bracelet, he still hasn't detected the Silicon-based life inside the bracelet?"

Lost in thought, Yang Dian scanned Canglan Star again, observing the Silicon-based life that Little Star God had already retrieved, then he extended his hand.

The star core fragment bracelet, which Little Star God had swallowed, instantly appeared in his hand out of thin air.

At the same moment, Little Star God, who was holding Canglan Star's moon and occasionally taking a bite, suddenly stopped his actions, letting out a somewhat dazed "Gulu" sound.

Yang Dian subconsciously raised an eyebrow:

"I merely pulled out this tiny star core fragment from Little Star God's body, and Little Star God became alert?"

"Does he really need to be this cautious?"

"Is it because I picked up the Silicon-based life from his body earlier, which made him agitated?"

Yang Dian didn't know if his guess was correct.

But he could be certain that after using the star core fragment bracelet to Seal the Silicon-based life, the Star God—at least Little Star God—could not receive the distress signals emitted by those Silicon-based life forms.

"Since that's the case, the Earth God plan can officially begin."

"However, my perspective is now far higher than when I first obtained the Becoming God Method; perhaps I can try to optimize the Becoming God Method?"

In his thoughts, Yang Dian shook his head again.

"Never mind, let's first get the next trait of the Heaven and Man Unity Skill and the Formation settled."

Opening his panel, he glanced at the next trait of the Heaven and Man Unity Skill, which only needed the last 6% of its progress bar to be completed, and the word "Formation" that had appeared on the panel.

After sending the Silicon-based life from the bracelet to the Asteroid Belt of Wenlan Star, Yang Dian returned to Earth, holding a book titled "The Dao of Formations."

He lay down on a lounge chair in his small courtyard, reading and petting Big Black Cat.

"Formations, in essence, are similar to science; they both lead to the same destination through different paths."

"Simply put, it's a method of using objects to resonate with the magnetic field of heaven and earth, thereby controlling the energy of heaven and earth through those objects."

"The Formation eyes within it can be seen as strong magnetic field sources."

"Barrier defense can be seen as the reflection of charged particles in a non-uniform magnetic field."

"The mutual generation of the Five Elements can be seen as 90° phase difference energy transfer."

"Setting up a Formation means using strong magnetic field sources to regulate energy, allowing it to operate according to one's will..."

Countless pieces of information about Formations flashed through Yang Dian's mind.

In the Soul's dwelling place, the stars that already dotted the Chaos firmament began to arrange and resonate according to Yang Dian's thoughts.

After just a few breaths, a Formation, primarily composed of nine spiritual stars, took shape within the Soul's dwelling place.

"This Formation..."

Sensing the increased strength of the starlight barrier after the nine stars were arranged, Yang Dian's eyes gradually lit up.

"It seems I've found the key to setting up Formations."

"Arrangement, resonance, and then, all things in heaven and earth can form a Formation..."

As the thought settled, Yang Dian saw the panel, which had always been open, blur for a moment.

After the words "The Dao of Formations" on it, a new entry appeared: [Heart Formation].

"To set up a Formation with one's heart, can it break free from the shackles of Formation Materials and set up a Formation out of thin air using Divine Thought?"

"The only drawback is that Divine Thought is a fast-consuming item and will dissipate on its own."

"Once the Divine Thought disperses, the Formation also dissipates."

After a final glance at the panel, Yang Dian closed it and then opened his right hand.

As his thoughts turned, nine spiritual thoughts materialized, gathering in Yang Dian's palm, forming a Spirit Gathering Formation.

As soon as the Spirit Gathering Formation was complete, all Spiritual Qi within a 90-meter radius converged towards Yang Dian's palm.

"It's done?"

Looking at the small Spirit Gathering Formation in his hand, Yang Dian smiled:

"It's that simple?"

"I thought it would be very difficult."

After muttering to himself, Yang Dian began to ponder the matter of Formations again.

"Since the Formation is complete, the next step is to set up Formations across the land of Huaxia."

"Set up a grand Formation that encompasses all of Huaxia."

"The primary function of the grand Formation is to gather Spiritual Qi and supply it."

"Through the Formation, all Spiritual Qi will be gathered into the Formation eye, and then supplied through Formation channels to those who need it, whether people or objects, artificially creating areas of Spiritual Qi abundance."

"This way, waste of Spiritual Qi can be prevented."

"In addition to this, the Formation also needs to have powerful defensive and offensive capabilities."

"If it could also have teleportation capabilities, that would be even better..."

Having Zero project a map of Huaxia, Yang Dian then used the 'Earth Surveying Technique' to observe the Dragon Veins of Huaxia.

"The grand Formation can use earth veins and water veins as its central hub to circulate Spiritual Qi."

"Houses can become nodes, with customizable Spiritual Qi amounts..."

For the next three days, Yang Dian was engrossed in designing Formations, unable to extricate himself.

Just as Yang Dian thought he would continue to be immersed in this until the Formation was completely designed, or until changes occurred in the Dimensional Battlefield or Emerald Dragon Star, an unexpected event happened.

Ya Zi suddenly appeared beside Yang Dian as a projection:

"Commander, our space satellites deployed on Strange Star have observed a spacecraft appearing at the edge of the Strange Star system. It resembles an elliptical meteor, but its surface is extremely smooth, suspected to be a creation of a civilization."

"It is approaching Strange Star at a speed of Mach 3600..."
