Chapter 753 - 8: Starforce Foundation, Collective Ascension

Chapter 753: Chapter 8: Starforce Foundation, Collective Ascension

The changes happening to Gouchen could not possibly escape the observation of the Star God Network.

Ying Long, responsible for operating the Gouchen Celestial Palace, almost immediately turned his gaze downward, his face openly displaying a look of incredulity.

"Tester 007?"

"Where did you guys find such a treasure?"

"Lightning convergence? Star Force tempering the body? Physical transformation? Sea of Qi expansion? Primordial Qi purification?"

"No, he even endowed the Star Force with unique attributes!"

The first few could be explained, as Ying Long could achieve them himself.

But the last one was different; it was the result of the combined effort of over a hundred Gods to synthesize the Star Force.

Not to mention the profound wisdom embedded within, just how to further refine this power crystallized from over a hundred Gods was already a formidable challenge.

"Lightning, slaughter, war, judgment, divine punishment..."

Gazing at the light pillar enveloping Gouchen in equal shock, Lu Huaijin saw more and further than Ying Long.

Once Gouchen had integrated his own power, the pure Star Force began to output in reverse, influencing the starry light descending from the heavens.

This, in turn, affected the operation of the Gouchen Celestial Palace’s array.

The originally smooth Star Force synthesis path now experienced an unprecedentedly complex chain reaction.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and record this data!"

Swiftly turning to look at the Mountain People and the Gods behind him, Lu Huaijin’s voice roared throughout the Gouchen Celestial Palace.

With this data, the already stalled "Star Force Purification Project" could proceed, and the Gouchen Celestial Palace would nurture a unique Star Force.

Considering the talent Gouchen demonstrated in this field.

In the future, with his help, shaping this newborn Star Force to be fully compatible with the power of the Mountain People wouldn’t be impossible.

By then, perhaps the Mountain People wouldn’t need various pills to easily complete the Refining Essence and Qi steps.

Refining Essence and Qi is the entry threshold for all cultivation, marking the beginning of transforming the body’s vital energy into Primordial Qi.

Only upon completing this step does a cultivator truly step onto the Path of Cultivation.

Even in today’s Hundred Lands Mountain Range, a mountain person wishing to complete Refining Essence and Qi faces significant demands for food, pills, and arrays.

But once there is the Gouchen Celestial Palace, everything changes.

With the implantation of "colonial equipment," the Mountain People can directly invoke the power of the stars for body refinement and foundation building, greatly reducing the need for external objects.

Refining Essence and Qi is only the first step.

No one stipulated that this power could only be used for foundation building.

On the contrary, once the large-scale promotion of foundation building is complete, the following Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation will naturally follow suit.

Going further and imagining grandly, achieving a "collective ascension" for the entire population of Mountain People wouldn’t be difficult.

Most crucially, compared to various meats, pills, and arrays, the Star Force synthesized directly from beyond the heavens is exceptionally cheap.

It’s like a set of sound nuclear power generation equipment.

Once built, the greatest costs instead stem from daily maintenance, not the nuclear energy itself.

"These data indeed must be recorded, but they cannot be directly used."

Reacting only a half-beat slower than Lu Huaijin, Ying Long understood his intent.

"Although this Star Force is pure, its attributes are far too... aggressive."

Failing to find an appropriate description, Ying Long had to use the word "aggressive" to describe the Star Force from Gouchen.

To use such Star Force for the Mountain People’s foundation building or daily cultivation, he dared not imagine what kind of warlike individuals could be bred.

Like the majority of the wise, Ying Long did not deny the Mountain People’s path to becoming stronger through exploration and advancement.

But a powerful race outpacing all others in such a gradient must not be combative.

Because that leads not only to oppression of other races but also to the destruction of themselves.

In fact, the Mountain People, born in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, had long shown a trait of external softness with internal strength.

Neither Celestial Disasters nor Gods could prevent their survival.

This was the tone set by the Tao Ancestor for this race.

Now, with the birth of a new generation of Mountain People, this tone has become the color of their collective character.

"Are you planning to tattle again?"

Picking up on the subtext in Ying Long’s words, Lu Huaijin gave him a slightly displeased glance.

Within the entire community of Mountain People, Lu Huaijin stands as the undisputed radical.

This character allows her to lead large projects like the Gouchen Celestial Palace, yet also results in her having little say in true decision-making.

"That has always been one of my purposes here, hasn’t it?"

Murmured helplessly, Ying Long didn’t dare to meet Lu Huaijin’s eyes directly.

Such unprecedented large-scale projects indeed required bold, courageous, and wise radicals like Lu Huaijin to drive them forward.

But to prevent the project from collectively deviating, "brake pads" like Ying Long are also essential.

"Tch, I don’t want to bicker with you."

Reluctant to waste words with Ying Long, the action-oriented Lu Huaijin turned and headed for the central palace of the Gouchen Celestial Palace the next moment.

There lies the database of the entire Gouchen Celestial Palace and the core of most arrays.

By adjusting the core, one can alter the composition ratio of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, thereby changing the characteristics and attributes of the Star Force.

Of course, the Gouchen Celestial Palace is not purely a Primordial Qi core.

Outside the central palace, there’s a massive ecological zone spanning nearly ten thousand miles.

Even though the Gouchen Celestial Palace has not fully opened yet, many humans and Gods can still be seen passing through the Profound Garden Barrier into it.

Towns, markets, villages, roads, forests, rivers...

At first glance, if not for the eternal night sky and the ground beneath their feet, one might think they’re still living in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Rumble...

Watching Lu Huaijin’s departing figure.

Ying Long, about to speak, suddenly felt the ground beneath him tremor violently.

In the next second, the gravitational system maintained by the arrays of the Gouchen Celestial Palace collapsed instantly.

Countless buildings and rocks floated into the air, and the humans and Gods within immediately activated their surrounding Primordial Qi to try flying in this weightless space.

"Everyone act according to the emergency protocols! Violators will be executed without mercy!"

"No one is allowed to approach the core confidential area! Violators will be executed without mercy!"

Taking the form of a winged dragon and ascending into the sky immediately, Ying Long’s voice resounded in all directions.

"The emergency team, open the return passage right away, and arrange everyone to return to the ground orderly."

"The remaining combat members, investigate the situation, quickly determine whether it’s external intervention or an internal cause..."

Under Ying Long’s orderly arrangement, the panic-stricken people immediately found their backbone and began acting according to pre-arranged crisis drills.

Those involved in the Gouchen Celestial Palace project, whether humans or Gods present, were of undoubtedly high individual quality.

Within just a few breaths, the previously chaotic Gouchen Celestial Palace restored its orderly state.

Only this mysterious out-of-control situation continued, causing even the starry sky to seem to tremble.
