816: The collision begins...

Yang Dian nodded in approval: "It is indeed rare."

"However, now is not the time to talk about Scar."

"The crisis we are facing now is the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone."

Speaking of this, Yang Dian had Zero project a panel: "Should we call them back?"

On the panel, the current status of the 'Huaxia New Gods' was clearly displayed.

Rank, number of believers, believer strength, size of the Divine Domain, faith status... All information was neatly projected in front of the two of them.

"The path of divinity, especially the path of divinity with Silicon-based life as believers, seems a bit absurd?"

Hearing Lao Bai mutter, Yang Dian nodded in agreement: "Indeed absurd."

A total of 389 people participated in the divinity plan initially.

Among them, nearly 80 people could exert strength reaching the Star-Patrolling Realm.

The remaining 300-plus people mainly focused their efforts on scientific research and somewhat neglected the cultivation of believers and the collection of faith; otherwise, they could also possess Star-Patrolling Realm strength.

"Do you think there's any potential for everyone to become gods?"

Yang Dian cast a death glare at Lao Bai: "Everyone becoming gods?"

"What are you thinking?"

"Have you ever thought about how many resources are needed for everyone to become gods?"

"The old men and women have at least ten thousand believers, and at most nearly a million; the 389 people have a total of nearly 100 million believers."

"Now the national population is 1.7 billion. If everyone becomes a god, in less than three years, 1.7 billion people will have to support 437 trillion believers."

"Where would we get so many resources to support the growth of believers?"

"The path of divinity is a double-edged sword."

"Faith can create gods, but it can also destroy them."

"Once faith backfires, tsk~"

Lao Bai smiled: "Earth's existing resources are not enough, but that doesn't mean other places don't have resources."

"The Thousand Star Battlefield has thousands of planets."

"Those planets, plus their affiliated Blessed Land, should be able to support millions of believers without a problem."

"Besides that, there is also the Destiny Realm."

"If we can take over the nest like a cuckoo, and conquer the Destiny Realm."

"Forget about 437 trillion believers."

"Even multiplying that several times wouldn't be a problem."

Yang Dian was speechless: "People should still keep their feet on the ground."

"It's fine to set our sights on the Thousand Star Battlefield; after all, if I work harder, I should be able to flatten the Thousand Star Battlefield."

"But setting our sights on the Destiny Realm is a bit wrong, isn't it?"

"I have only just stepped into the Fifth Rank; I am not even considered strong in the three thousand great worlds of the Destiny Realm, let alone conquering the entire Destiny Realm."

"Let's not indulge in fantasy..."

... Time slowly passed amidst the mobilization of the entire Huaxia.

The poles, which had been slowly melting due to the influence of the new crust and geothermal environment, pressed the pause button under the influence of the cold wave.

The seawater that had just melted from glaciers froze again.

It was not just the North and South Poles.

With the North and South Poles as the center, the entire ocean began to be covered with a layer of thin ice.

Then, the thin ice began to thicken at a speed visible to the naked eye. Countless marine creatures were frozen in the ice layer before they could struggle, losing their life breath.

"Woo~~~" In the straits on both sides, Hu Jiu led the killer whale pod and circled the 'small ponds' of the South Sea and East Sea over and over again.

On the entire Earth, only within Huaxia could flowing water still be seen.

The low temperature of minus forty degrees turned every area outside of Earth into a world of snow and icy winds.

The kilometer-long Hu Jiu would swim to the territorial sea line, then dive into the seabed to see how deep the ice had frozen.

Sometimes it would swim to Yang Dian or Lin Mo and whine, complaining that the water outside had frozen for no reason, leaving it with nowhere to roam, and asking them to do something about it.

Yang Dian would often comfort it and take the opportunity to give it special training.

Lin Mo naturally ignored it. The Sea God who had lost his humanity was very aloof.

In Fuzhou, by the sea, on a low cliff that had newly grown due to the Earth's expansion and enlargement and had not yet been named.

Yang Dian held a fishing rod and turned to look at Yang Lele, who was holding an identical fishing rod, twisting her body, and clearly unable to sit still:

"Fishing is like Cultivating; both require one to endure loneliness."

"You twist around every few moments after fishing; the fish have all been scared away by you. How can you possibly catch any fish?"

Yang Lele, who felt like ants were crawling all over her, put down the fishing rod and stood up: "Brother, how can fishing be the same as practicing martial arts?"

"Practicing martial arts can not only improve one's Physique, even if the improvement is slight, one can see the progress bar."

"I can clearly know how much my strength has increased after Cultivating for a period of time; there is positive feedback."

"But what about fishing?" "Three hours, a full three hours!" "I haven't caught a single fish."

"Even if I put the bait in front of the fish's mouth, they won't bite the hook."

"Wow, I really can't stand it!"

Just as Yang Dian was about to reply, the Little Black Cat, which was sitting next to Yang Dian like a person and holding a small fishing rod, suddenly started meowing: "Human, the fish is on the hook, quickly help the cat net the fish. The cat wants to eat the fish it caught itself."

Before Yang Dian could finish speaking, a palm-sized killer whale suddenly flew out of the sea, spat out the hook, and sprayed water all over the Little Black Cat's face. The Little Black Cat was so angry it meowed: "Human, we are eating big fish today. The cat must eat the big fish."

Yang Dian smiled and grabbed the Little Black Cat into his arms to mess with it, then glared at Hu Jiu: "Do not bully the cat."

The protected Little Black Cat squinted its eyes comfortably, and took the opportunity to show Hu Jiu a look of disdain that said, 'The human loves the cat, not the fish.'

Hu Jiu didn't care. After causing trouble, it flicked its tail and dived back into the sea, having nothing better to do, and started driving the fish schools.

Yang Lele, who didn't want to fish, found another reason: "And also, and also."

"Hu Jiu keeps making a fuss in the sea, how can I catch any fish?"

Yang Dian glanced at her sideways: "If I didn't give you the System, and your strength increased too slowly during Cultivation, or even if you couldn't perceive it at all, would you stop Cultivating?"

"Hu Jiu making a fuss in the sea is just like encountering various Bottlenecks while Cultivating."

"If you encounter a Bottleneck while Cultivating and have no improvement at all, will you stop Cultivating?"

"What, is it so hard to accompany your brother to fish for a while?"

"Others want to accompany your brother to fish, but your brother won't let them."

Yang Lele trotted to Yang Dian's side and snatched the Little Black Cat from his arms: "Brother, you are being unreasonable."

Little Black Cat: ??? "Human, don't drag the cat into your argument; the cat is innocent..."

Amidst the bickering, the light emitted by the artificial sun in the sky suddenly dimmed for a moment.

Then, in the cloudless clear sky, heavy, goose-feather-sized snowflakes suddenly began to fall.

It was only for a moment, letting people feel the comfortable body surface temperature drop by dozens of degrees, and then it was forcibly pulled back up by the constant temperature Formation extended from the Spirit Gathering Array.

Before the snowflakes hit the ground, they turned into clouds of mist, obscuring the world in a hazy fog.

Yang Lele stopped laughing and joking, and her hands holding the Little Black Cat tightened: "Brother, did we collide with the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone?"
