300: Taking stock of the harvest, a mythical technological explosion.

Buzz—!!!

The moment she pressed her handprint!

The entire golden scroll burst forth with light!

Then, it transformed into two golden runes, one large and one small, filled with supreme Dao rhyme.

The larger one instantly merged into Li Chengqian’s glabella.

While the smaller one transformed into a streak of light, deeply branding itself into Queen Mother of the West’s Soul Origin.

From this moment on.

Her life and death, her honor and disgrace, everything about her, would be firmly controlled by that man's single thought!

And at the moment the contract was established!

The System's notification sound boomed in Li Chengqian's mind!

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully subduing the 'Dominator of the Mountain and Sea Realm, Queen Mother of the West'!]

[‘Middle-Tier World’ promotion challenge... judged successful!]

[World promotion in progress...]

Rumble—!!!

Along with the System's notification sound!

The entire Minor Thousand Worlds where the Great Tang Immortal Kingdom was located began to vibrate and expand violently!

The world's barrier, under the mighty power of the myriad heavens divine ranking, was infinitely stretched and widened!

In the barren Void Realm, new galaxies and new Star Domains were born!

Within the world, the territory of the Great Tang Immortal Kingdom was also expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The concentration of Spiritual Qi increased tenfold, even a hundredfold, in just a few breaths!

In the air, even more Advanced 'Immortal Spiritual Qi' began to be born!

The entire world's Law became more stable, clearer, and stronger!

All the citizens living within the Great Tang Immortal Kingdom, whether Mortal or Cultivator, clearly felt the world's changes at this moment!

They felt that the invisible shackles above their heads, which had bound them and made it difficult for them to Breakthrough.

Had disappeared!

Countless Cultivators who had been stuck at a Bottleneck for hundreds, or even thousands, of years, instantly achieved a cultivation Breakthrough at this moment!

Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul... The entire Great Tang Immortal Kingdom, at this moment, set off an unprecedented wave of nationwide Breakthroughs!

"Ah! I've broken through! My Golden Core Stage, which I was stuck at for three hundred years, has finally broken through to Nascent Soul!"

"It's Your Majesty! It must be Your Majesty who won again!"

"The world... our world is getting bigger! It's getting stronger!"

"Long live our Emperor! Long live! Long, long live!"

Throughout the Great Tang Immortal Kingdom, from the Immortal Palaces and Divine Halls above to the Mortal cities below, all citizens knelt down from the bottom of their hearts!

Their faces were filled with fervent adoration!

Their cheers and their Power Of Faith converged into an boundless golden torrent, spanning endless time and space, surging into Li Chengqian's body!

Allowing his power, which had just been somewhat depleted from activating the Human Dao Dragon Qi, to instantly return to its Peak!

Even surpassing it!

Li Chengqian slowly opened his eyes, feeling the unprecedented surge of power within him.

He then glanced at the Queen Mother of the West, who had completely become his prisoner.

A satisfied curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"A Middle-Tier World... huh?"

"This is just the beginning."

Having dealt with Queen Mother of the West, the 'administrator,' and successfully promoted to a Middle-Tier World, Li Chengqian was in a great mood.

He didn't linger in the Kunlun Mountains, directly taking the despondent Queen Mother of the West and Bai Qi back to the 'Lingxiao' mothership.

As for the two ancient Divine Artifacts left behind by Xingtian, he also conveniently packed them up and took them away.

Although he didn't fancy them himself, taking them back for the Academy of Sciences as research Materials, or disassembling them for Advanced alloys, were also good choices.

When Li Chengqian's figure reappeared on the Imperial Throne of the Hall of Miraculous Mist.

Below, the Civil and Military Officials, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly erupted in a mountain-shaking, sea-howling cheer!

"Welcome, Your Majesty, on your triumphant return!"

"Your Majesty's Divine Might is invincible, unifying the myriad heavens!"

Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and others, seeing their Emperor return safe and sound, finally let go of the heart that had been hanging for half a day.

Each of them was so excited that their old faces turned red, almost shedding tears on the spot.

"Alright, alright, quiet down."

Li Chengqian waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the flattery of the crowd.

"It's just a small matter, what's all the fuss about?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's mouths twitched.

Your Majesty, you call this a small matter?

You, alone, with one guard, single-handedly charged into the enemy's lair, killed their final BOSS, and even captured their supreme commander alive, while also upgrading the entire world... If this is considered a small matter, then what would be a big matter?

However, despite their internal grumbling, no one dared to voice it aloud.

Everyone's gaze curiously fell upon the beautiful woman standing beside His Majesty, her face ashen, yet possessing an elegant demeanor.

"This must be... Queen Mother of the West, I presume?"

Fang Xuanling asked cautiously.

"Mhm." Li Chengqian nodded, then pointed at Queen Mother of the West and casually said in a tone as if introducing a new employee: "Let me introduce her to you."

"Queen Mother of the West will be the general manager of our Great Tang Immortal Kingdom's 'Mountain and Sea Realm Resource Development Zone' from now on."

"From now on, if any of you need Divine Beast Materials or rare Immortal Plants, just report directly to her."

"Pfft—"

Hearing Li Chengqian's introduction, many officials almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Mountain and Sea Realm... Resource Development Zone?

General manager?

Their Emperor was truly ruthless!

He had literally turned the Dominator of a world into the manager of his own breeding farm!

Everyone looked at Queen Mother of the West with sympathetic eyes.

Queen Mother of the West felt the strange gazes from all around, her delicate body trembled, and her face became even paler, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Alright, enough with the small talk, let's have a post-war summary meeting."

Li Chengqian ignored the small actions of the crowd and went straight to the main topic.

"Crown Prince."

"Your son... ah no, your subject is here!"

Crown Prince Li Chengqian, as the dean of the Immortal Technology Research Institute, quickly stepped forward.

He was becoming increasingly apprehensive when facing his 'Imperial Father' now.

"You should have already seen the gains from this time." Li Chengqian said indifferently.

"The captured Black Tortoise, Xingtian's battle-axe and shield, and various Spiritual Roots and Immortal Plants packed from the Kunlun Mountains."

"I am giving you and your research institute several new projects."

The Crown Prince's spirit lifted upon hearing this, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Please instruct, Your Majesty!"

"First, the 'god-demon mecha' 2.0 version upgrade plan!"

Li Chengqian extended a finger.

"You should have already recovered Xingtian's combat data. I want you to develop a new generation of 'Demonic Heart' System based on his 'pure combat will'!"

"The new System must discard the previous violent and bloodthirsty negative effects, retaining only the purest combat instinct!"

"I want our god-demon knights, when entering combat, to all transform into peerless War Gods, born solely for battle, just like Xingtian!"

"Second, the 'Mythological Gene' Fusion Plan!"

Li Chengqian extended his second finger.

"That Black Tortoise is a good thing. Its carapace possesses almost absolute physical and Law defense. Its blood contains vast life energy and water-elemental Laws."

"I want you to analyze its gene sequence and integrate its 'absolute defense' characteristic into our new generation of 'Heavenly Soldier' nano-Immortal armor!"

"What I want is for every Great Tang Heavenly Soldier to be able to withstand a single blow from the dutian divine thunder annihilation cannon without any harm!"

"Third, the 'Immortality' Popularization Plan!"

Li Chengqian extended his third finger, his eyes shining with unprecedented light!

"You've seen the Immortal Peach. That is a true Innate Spiritual Root!"

"I want you, at all costs, using all your biotechnology, alchemy, and Immortal Dao Formations, to achieve the mass production of Immortal Peach for me!"

"My goal is to make 'Immortality' no longer the privilege of a few powerful individuals!"

"But rather, a basic welfare that every citizen of my Great Tang Immortal Kingdom is born with!"

Each of Li Chengqian's topics was like a heavy bomb, booming throughout the Hall of Miraculous Mist!
