552: A large array covering tens of millions of square kilometers

After chatting with Professor Shen Fei for a while, Yang Dian didn't stay long. He bid farewell to everyone and then passed through the spatial gate, returning to Earth.

Watching the spatial gate to Earth flicker and then close and disappear.

Inside the Reversing Life and Returning Spring Grand Formation, it immediately became silent.

After a long while, Li Zhen's voice rang out:

"From now on, until we have the strength to fight the Star Gods, we won't be able to return to Earth, ah~"

As his voice fell, someone in the crowd spoke again:

"Actually, it's not bad."

"The Universe is dangerous. If Earth encounters an accident, we here can be considered a Spark of civilization."

"The Dao of the Deities can also pass on the Chinese Spark."

As the voice in the crowd fell, Professor Shen Congnan continued:

"The two words 'Deity' don't sound good. It subconsciously distinguishes itself from the identity of a human."

"So, I think we should change its name, lest over time, we really start to believe we've become gods."

Qian Xueming looked at Professor Shen Congnan:

"Old Shen, what name do you think is good?"

Professor Shen Congnan surveyed the crowd, saying with a hint of nonchalance:

"Isn't there a ready-made example?"

"Little Yang's strength can be called a Martial God or a Martial Immortal, but he still calls himself a Martial Dao Cultivator."

"Those of us who walk the path of becoming gods through faith can also call ourselves Divine Dao Cultivators."

Li Zhen nodded in agreement upon hearing this:

"This is good."

"A Deity is a god."

"But a Cultivator is merely a seeker of truth, exploring the Dao and principles; he is still human."

As he spoke, he surveyed the crowd again:

"Others helped us embark on the Divine Dao, but I hope everyone doesn't truly believe they have ignited the divine fire, condensed a divine domain, and become a True God."

"Remember, we are still human."

"Chinese people."

"Compared to others, we just have an additional ability to absorb faith and grow stronger. Essentially, we are no different from other people."

As Li Zhen's words fell, laughter erupted from the crowd again:

"Old Li, do you even need to say that? Do you think we don't know what you know?"

"Besides, the Spark you ignited isn't as big or bright as mine, yet you're lecturing me."

Li Zhen looked a little embarrassed:

"My Spark isn't as big or bright as yours purely because I focused my energy on research before and didn't have much time to Cultivate the meditation method."

"Now that I'm free, catching up to your Spark will be a matter of minutes."

"Heh, as if I wasn't busy before. I'll wait for you to catch up..."

...On the other side, Yang Dian, who had just entered the Strange Star, also received scenes from the Reversing Life and Returning Spring Grand Formation sent by Zero.

"These old people."

Looking at the information contained in the images, Yang Dian couldn't help but smile.

Since he dared to help them become gods, he naturally wasn't afraid of them losing their humanity.

If they really lost their humanity and reached out to China, he could also beat them awake.

However, if they didn't need to be beaten and already had this awareness themselves, that would be for the best.

Thinking this, Yang Dian gave another instruction:

"Zero, remember to monitor those Deities..."

At this point, Yang Dian paused, thought for a moment, and then rephrased his words:

"Remember to monitor the situation at those Divine Dao Cultivator bases."

"If an unexpected situation occurs at a Cultivation base, notify me immediately."

After receiving Zero's affirmative reply, Yang Dian went to the Expeditionary Force Base and asked Ya Zi to retrieve the Strange Star world map.

He had just stared at the map for a while and hadn't had time to do anything when Lei Ming knocked on the office door.

"Enter."

The office door opened in response, and Lei Ming, looking a bit disheveled, walked into the room.

Seeing him sweating profusely and his clothes in disarray, Yang Dian raised an eyebrow:

"Uncle Lei, did you just fight some female ghost?"

"Ah, don't even mention it, wasn't it that female strange creature at the bottom of Xibo Lake? She was really strong, almost dragged me to the bottom of the lake and drowned me."

Just as he caught his breath, he noticed the teasing expression on Yang Dian's face:

"Did you not speak well, kid?"

Yang Dian chuckled:

"How did I not speak well? Am I not concerned about you?"

Lei Ming looked at Yang Dian suspiciously for a while, and after seeing nothing on his face, he asked again:

"Why did you suddenly come today?"

"Nothing major has happened on Strange Star recently, so why are you coming so frequently?"

Yang Dian withdrew his gaze from Lei Ming and looked at the world map in front of him:

"To conduct a small experiment."

Lei Ming looked at the map projected into the air by Yang Dian, blinked a few times, and then said:

"Is this the Strange Star map?"

"But this area you've circled with a red line..."

Looking at the area on the map circled by a red line, shaped like a rooster, Lei Ming asked curiously:

"What are you planning to do?"

"I'm going to set up a Formation," Yang Dian explained, while sketching red lines on the map.

"Didn't I obtain the Formation Legacy from an Alien Planet? The Formation Legacy contains a detailed explanation of how to set up a Spirit Gathering Formation."

"I was thinking, although China already occupies two-thirds of Earth's Spiritual Qi, this two-thirds of Spiritual Qi is evenly distributed in the air."

"If these Spiritual Qi could be gathered and concentrated entirely into Cultivation rooms, Cultivation plazas, or even houses, wouldn't that greatly improve the Cultivation efficiency of Martial Artists?"

"I think it should be possible."

"So, I'm preparing to set up a Spirit Gathering Formation that encompasses all of China, gathering all Spiritual Qi for unified distribution."

Lei Ming looked at the busy Yang Dian, a look of realization appearing on his face:

"It's just that this is your first time setting up such a large Grand Formation, and you're not entirely confident, so you plan to experiment on Strange Star first?"

Yang Dian nodded:

"Not just Strange Star."

"I also plan to set up Formations in Wuhou Grotto-heaven to accumulate more experience."

"Only after ensuring there are no problems will I set up the Formation on Earth."

Lei Ming took two steps forward to the map, feeling a bit dizzy looking at the dense, thick and thin red lines on it.

"How do you plan to set up the Formation?"

Yang Dian tapped the table twice, and the red lines on the map changed color.

Some turned earthy yellow, some turned black, and some turned blue... "Earthy yellow represents the direction of the Earth Veins; these cannot be easily changed."

"So the Formation will be set up with the Earth Veins as its core."

"Black represents roads; highways, national roads, railways, and country paths will all be included."

"Blue represents waterways; however, domestic rivers are insufficient, and a large portion of the area lacks water systems, requiring new canals to be dug."

"I plan to re-plan cities, turning them into Formation nodes, and using mountains, rivers, roads, and waterways as hubs to set up a Grand Formation encompassing all of China."

As he spoke, Yang Dian, who had already marked intricate lines on the map, looked at the somewhat dazed Ya Zi beside him:

"Ya Zi, have the factories stop manufacturing war robots and switch to manufacturing engineering robots."

"Then, according to the plan I've outlined, re-build bridges, pave roads, and dig canals to first establish the framework of the Spirit Gathering Grand Formation."

Ya Zi propped up his upper body, blinked a few times, and then said:

"The armory has already been converted into an engineering robot manufacturing factory as per your request."

"The overall plan is expected to be completed in 150 Strange Star days."

Yang Dian raised an eyebrow:

"Only 150 days?"

But then, considering the large number of factories on Strange Star, Yang Dian felt relieved.

"With so many factories, plus your central planning..."

"It should indeed be possible to accomplish all of this within 150 days..."
