546: A talent with a breath of life

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than three hours had passed.

It was 8 AM, and the bright sun hung in the eastern sky, casting down its scorching rays, and Fuda University became lively.

"One hundred twenty-seven... one hundred twenty-eight... one hundred twenty-nine..."

In a Fuda University dorm room, Qi Yu, whose hands were a blur on the keyboard as he furiously argued with people online, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yao Jie when he heard him mumbling.

"Jie Ge, what are you doing? Counting sheep first thing in the morning?"

Yao Jie didn't turn his head, merely pointing a finger at the sky.

"I'm counting airplanes."

"Look at the campus network; since around 5 AM, space-air combat aircraft have been landing at the Research Institute, and over a hundred have arrived already."

"I have a feeling something big is about to happen."

"Hey~" Qi Yu waved his hand, turned his head back to his laptop screen, and resumed arguing with netizens.

"If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. If the tall ones can't hold it, there's still the Commander of the Expeditionary Force. What's there for us to worry about?"

"Jie Ge, if you have time, why not join me in arguing with these idiots?"

Yao Jie poked his head out and looked towards the horizon, and after confirming no black dots appeared, he turned to Qi Yu.

"Why are you arguing with people online every day? Why not use this time to Cultivate?"

"If you put the effort you use for arguing into Cultivating, you might have already stepped into the extraordinary realm."

"It's not that easy to become extraordinary." Qi Yu twitched his lips.

"Besides, Cultivating requires a clear mind. If I don't spray these idiots into self-isolation, my Cultivation won't be smooth, so how could I Breakthrough?"

As he spoke, Qi Yu's voice suddenly got stuck.

After waiting for a long time without hearing the chattering Yao Jie, he turned his head again.

"Why aren't you talking? Did someone spray you into self-isolation?"

Qi Yu, having snapped back to reality, turned his head with a mournful expression.

"Jie Ge, I've Awakened my innate ability."

Yao Jie was a bit surprised.

"Isn't that a good thing? Why the mournful face?"

"But the talent I Awakened is 'arguing'." Seeing Yao Jie's puzzled expression, he raised his hands to cover his face again.

"In short, I can use my Divine Thought to 'link' with electromagnetic signals and control typing software with my consciousness to argue with others."

Yao Jie blinked, wanting to laugh but afraid of hurting Qi Yu's feelings.

"That's not bad."

"Don't you like arguing with people online? This talent is a perfect match for you."

Qi Yu's face showed even greater despair upon hearing this.

"But the problem is, I can also wear a virtual helmet to let it read my thoughts and control typing software with my consciousness!"

Yao Jie suppressed his laughter, walked over to Qi Yu, and patted his shoulder.

"You have to think positively."

"At least others can't type with a virtual helmet while walking, but you can."

"In the future, when you're walking, eating, or Cultivating, you can control your phone to type with your Divine Thought and argue with others."

"Doesn't that make it feel a little better?"

"This is too much for life!" Qi Yu ranted for a while, then once again turned his gaze to his laptop screen.

"Forget it, since it's Awakened, it's better than those who Awakened the talent of 'no matter how hard they try, no hair will grow on their body'."

"I'll just continue arguing with others online."

"How dare they say that, putting aside the Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Fuda University is just a second-rate university."

"Is that something you can put aside? Is the Commander of the Expeditionary Force not a Fuda University student?"

"Besides, even if you put aside the Commander of the Expeditionary Force, wasn't the champion of the freshman group in the first Martial Arts Competition from our Fuda University?"

"I'll spray them to death."

Hearing the words "Commander of the Expeditionary Force" and seeing Qi Yu furiously arguing with people online, a trace of trance appeared in Yao Jie's eyes.

He recalled how he had once wanted to compete with the Commander of the Expeditionary Force for affection.

Although the three Pokémon sisters didn't fancy him.

And the Commander of the Expeditionary Force didn't seem to fancy the three Pokémon sisters either.

"Alas~"

"Strength, ah..."

...Yang Dian, sitting in Research Institute Conference Room No. 1, naturally didn't know that someone at the university was sighing over him.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

After all, other people's thoughts wouldn't make him lose a single strand of hair.

At this moment, after receiving important figures like Wang Xiuzhi, Professor Shen Congnan, and Qian Xueming, Yang Dian sat on the podium, waiting for the others to arrive.

During the wait, bored, he opened his panel and glanced at it again.

'The remaining energy is enough for me to upgrade both Dragon Claw Hand and Star Gazing Art once.'

'Then, after waiting a few more days, I can choose one of the two and upgrade it again.'

'If I don't use heaven and earth treasures or star core fragments from now on, it will take more than a month of Earth time to upgrade any of them...'

After some thought, Yang Dian decided to use some heaven and earth treasures after the meeting.

Although he didn't have OCD, being stuck here, neither advancing nor retreating, was somewhat uncomfortable.

'I wonder what other traits Dragon Claw Hand and Star Gazing Art can produce...'

As his thoughts turned, the hands of the clock on the conference room wall pointed to 8:30 AM.

Yang Dian didn't care if anyone hadn't arrived and simply waved his hand to close the door.

He said the meeting would start at 8:30 AM, so it would start at 8:30 AM.

Not early, not late.

If someone was late, they would listen from outside the conference room.

As Yang Dian stood up on the podium, the scientific luminaries sitting at the conference table, who had been conversing with those around them, all ceased their private conversations and looked intently at Yang Dian.

Yang Dian didn't mince words and directly projected the New God Method behind him.

[Based on the Becoming God Method of the Qiutang Star God civilization, with star core fragments as the divine realm, and with the Spark of the Huaxia human Dao as the core to ignite divine fire, achieving the body of a God...]

As the details of the New God Method were continuously displayed behind Yang Dian, he spoke.

"You should all know the reason for contacting you and asking you to come to Fuda University."

"That's right."

"After multiple verifications, I can now ensure the safety of the New God Method, guaranteeing that becoming a God with the New God Method will not lead to getting lost in faith and becoming a Puppet of faith."

"The purpose of contacting you this time is to announce the Becoming God Method."

"Since you are here, I assume you are interested in the New God Method and in becoming a God."

"If you are interested and want to become a God, there is no problem."

"But here, I want to emphasize two things."

"First, you are not allowed to develop humans, including Alien Planet humans, into believers."

"This is the bottom line."

"Once this bottom line is touched, you are an evil God, an enemy."

"There's nothing more to say about enemies; I will personally shatter their divinity and divine throne."

"Second, before the New God Method is fully announced, you are not allowed to privately teach the New God Method to others..."
