Chapter 1309 - 1001: Reboot Plan

Chapter 1309: Chapter 1001: Reboot Plan

"Advancement?"

Huai Shi heard this word and felt as if it was a world apart.

Oh yeah, I still need to advance.

Advance the progress, advance the steps. What a distant word, with Luo Su being such an old pigeon flying in the sky, he thought he’d never get there in his lifetime.

Oh, you were out there having a wild time, finally remembered you’ve been waiting for advancement as a student for so long?

What have you been doing all this time?

"So, what then?"

Huai Shi pulled the chair on the terrace and sat down, directly asking, "The divine material of the ocean? What good treasure did you get from the Jurisdiction Bureau?"

"A bunch of stingy people, not worth mentioning."

Luo Su clicked his tongue and shook his head, "The Jurisdiction Bureau wants to give you Poseidon’s broken trident to make up the numbers, I didn’t agree."

"What the heck!"

Huai Shi exclaimed, just sat down not long ago, almost jumped up in fright.

Poseidon’s trident, one of the three great god-kings in the Greek Lineage? It’s ridiculous that the Jurisdiction Bureau’s inventory could still have this treasure, and even more ridiculous that you don’t want it!

"If you don’t want this, what do you want?"

"Relax, Huai Shi."

Luo Su shook his head helplessly, "You have to look at the long term, right? It’s just a broken trident, broken for many years, sitting in a warehouse collecting dust, the correction value has been raided by the three Great Secrets, just an empty shell, besides being of historic value for a museum to make ticket money, what else can it do?"

"That’s still better than anything else by a long shot, isn’t it!"

Huai Shi felt a mouthful of old blood wanting to be spat directly in Luo Su’s turtle-like face over tens of thousands of miles.

"That’s the Sea King’s trident, Poseidon’s trident, how many can match this prestige in the world? Can you still pluck that Calm Ocean God Needle from Dongxia’s Dragon Vein for me?"

"Don’t forget, Huai Shi, the decisive difference between the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy and other genealogies."

Luo Su shook his head, "Tong Ji should have told you, most of the Sources in the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy don’t choose the power of gods, but rather miracles witnessed by humans.

Whether it’s the Path of Heavenly Inquiry with Nine Songs as its source, or the Path of Dusk originating from the Nibelungen song, it’s more focused on the human aspect of gods than on the present circumstances authority of the divine side.

Excessive divine nature isn’t beneficial for you, and nowadays, the Greek Lineage has almost been integrated into the Rome Genealogy, the remaining divine nature may or may not be compatible with the Cloud Monarch.

However, I did actually discuss the Calm Ocean God Needle with Xuan Niao... but Xuan Niao just wouldn’t agree, after all, you don’t seem like someone who could marry into Dongxia, so we can only find another way."

"Wait! Did you just lightly skip over something very important?" Huai Shi sighed and covered his face, "Forget it, just tell me directly, what did the Jurisdiction Bureau finally give?"

"A pile of random stuff, all in cooperation with the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy, two or three items concerning you."

Luo Su stopped being mysterious, directly saying, "I’ve already negotiated with the Existence Institute, your advancement ritual will be handled by the Astronomical Society: the Chalatustra ritual is already being adjusted - half of all the distortion due to rainstorm floods within current circumstances this year is considered yours!"

Huai Shi was shocked.

He really wanted to express his shock.

But after being teased so many times by this old guy, he was completely numb, didn’t even bother to take a cold breath, it took a while before he realized how extravagant this move was!

By correcting through the Great Secret: Chalatustra, changing the source of this destruction, and redirecting it to Huai Shi... with Existence Institute involvement, although it’s unimaginable what technology is used, it’s definitely not simple.

That’s a super large barrier ritual covering the current circumstances, protecting the entire world, and it was altered for just one person’s advancement.

Even though it’s only half, it’s exaggerated enough.

Rounding up, equivalent to using half a year’s rainstorms across half the world to prepare the environment and conditions needed for Huai Shi’s advancement, not only does it fulfill the preconditions for the Cloud Monarch’s advancement ritual, but once Huai Shi successfully advances, this distortion throughout the current circumstances will immediately propel the Cloud Monarch to an unparalleled peak!

Instant job transfer to max level.

As for the abyssal erosion brought by the distortion, there’s no need to worry, the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy inherently has the highest resistance to Hell erosion among all genealogies, and Huai Shi’s deluxe version is already maxed out, even the solidified erosion rate that can freeze others in seconds isn’t enough to make him yawn.

Pay to win players are just unreasonable like this.

Besides, the Miracle Imprint·Heavenly Questions contains many rituals requiring distortion to activate, no fear of having no place to use them.

Huai Shi has been somewhat hesitant about the immoral things, hasn’t deliberately collected them, didn’t expect the Astronomical Society to be so efficient, directly attributing half of the current circumstances’ disasters to him.

It’s equivalent to the Astronomical Society whispering in the ear of current circumstances, pointing at Huai Shi saying: "Yes, big brother, it’s that guy who messed you up!"

Despite this awkward thought, it’s ultimately a good thing... right?

He rubbed his brows, pondered this news, finally absorbed it, then asked: "Now we have the ritual, I’ve obtained the Rejuvenation Crystals, laid the foundation of Sky Que, and reforged King Xiang’s Stigmata Relic.

Where, exactly, do we find the divine material for the ocean? You’re not suggesting I just brazenly advance, are you?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve prepared the best for you."

Luo Su responded calmly, and Huai Shi’s phone vibrated, delivering a confidential document to him.

Regarding the arrangements for confidential operations: Outpost reactivation.

Although meetings were endless in usual times, at critical moments, the Jurisdiction Bureau’s reaction speed remained astonishing. Within just a few hours, they had already drafted the entire plan, swiftly entering into tight preparation. The timeline was almost accurate down to the hour.

The document sent to Huai Shi only contained his part, but the rest could still be gleaned from the overview.

Three days later, starting at 4 A.M. in Current Circumstances time, a total of over a hundred teams will gradually gather at various borders, setting off in batches.

To ensure the maximum reactivation of more outposts, the personnel deployed by the Jurisdiction Bureau is more than three times the number of all outposts, and each team is prepared to promptly support other teams after completing their own tasks.

To avoid alerting the rulers in Hell, the personnel numbers have been repeatedly refined. Although a hundred teams sound exaggerated, they are merely grains of sand in the vast Hell.

At that time, the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy will organize six teams to participate.

To show respect for the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy, these teams will not be managed by the Decision Room, but will be commanded by Luo Su. Initially, they were just supposed to make an appearance at relatively close and important nodes.

Yet, through Luo Su’s reasoning and efforts, they managed to bring back numerous dangerous tasks.

And which cute little one will lead these missions?

"..."

Huai Shi rolled his eyes almost to the sky: "I’m supposed to reactivate three outposts alone? And they’re so far apart, spanning depths over dozens; why not just send me there outright?"

"Oh, you only need to go to one," Luo Su said, "You don’t need to visit the other two."

"Why?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

On the other end of the phone, Luo Su sipped his red tea contentedly with crossed legs, "Because I’ve set the school’s Hell Campus there."

"..."

Huai Shi’s expression twitched.

Damn, he’s been tricked by this Old Turtle!

Though seemingly inconspicuous, only after obtaining the depth map and all outpost coordinates could one discover that those two outposts in the outskirts of Hell were key points for connection with the Current Circumstances!

As a result, quietly over the years, Luo Su had already secured the sub-base! For seventy years, the sub-base had advanced to three editions!

And now, he’s lured Jurisdiction Bureau’s pawns to connect all the remaining links for him?

Huai Shi started to reflect: What made him generate the illusion of this old thing’s integrity?

"And what about the remaining one?" he asked, "Where is that place?"

"Hmm, let me think, nothing special, just a very ordinary outpost, exceptionally ordinary, and it’s among those particularly distant from the Current Circumstances, also the riskiest part."

Luo Su calmly replied, "High risk, heavy tasks, and even if it fails, other nodes can compensate and sustain, so opening it isn’t particularly crucial."

"Then why should I go?!"

"It’s not the outpost node that’s important, Huai Shi."

Luo Su calmly stated, "It’s the military base next to the outpost. Well, during Utopia’s peak when exploring and expanding the Abyss, they erected a branch there.

As far as I know, there is a massive stockpile of resources and Hell materials, even weapons enough to last us a hundred years. Naturally, that’s not the point, the point is the advancement materials you need are there as well."

Military, base?

Utopia’s arsenal?

Huai Shi was already in a daze, dumbfounded, drool trickling from his mouth corner. Just thinking about the terrifying power it represented made his brain start to freeze.

"Ah, calling them materials might belittle them a bit. However, they are undoubtedly heavyweights."

Luo Su continued, "From the start, it was crafted as a strategic weapon for solo exploration and expansion in Hell, encapsulating the hearts and minds of many Utopia scholars and alchemists. In human history, there’s nothing more outstanding or suitable for your advancement."

"Something like that?" Huai Shi was confused, "How come I haven’t heard of it?"

"That’s perhaps the irony of fate."

Luo Su sighed lightly, "The treasures built for exploring the Abyss were instead buried in Hell.

Just before Utopia’s fall, it was completed, but could only hastily undergo trial navigation without fulfilling its potential, secreted away due to Utopia’s split."

It was initially a confidential project of the frontline base, isolated from the outside world. I only discovered the details and existence in the ruins of the Heavenly Kingdom."

"It’s named Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Of course, more people refer to it as..."

"— Depth Submarine·Nautilus!"
