"We can only make use of a time difference."
Zhao Xi said, "After annihilating the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, Creation Gate will go all out in war preparations, producing a large number of mechas, while I will take advantage of the time when the Transformed Spirit Heavenly Dao is no longer under anyone’s control, to nurture it to perfection as quickly as possible. Once the Transformed Spirit Heavenly Dao reaches perfection, along with the support of my grotto heaven that spans thousands of miles, I can kill as many Spirit Venerable Level Demon Spirits as they send."
"How long does it take for the Transformed Spirit Heavenly Dao to nurture from your current state to perfection?"
"To divert the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect’s attention and avoid their suspicion, we haven’t been constructing grotto heavens all over the world or collecting spirit crystals on a large scale. The total amount of spirit crystals we can obtain each year is only about thirty, most of which are used for the war. In the eyes of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, we only have about ten spirit crystals left over each year, but in reality, our annual collection of spirit crystals exceeds fifty."
Zhao Xi spoke with a grave expression, "However, if we no longer need to maintain the pretense and allow all grotto heavens to fully collect spirit mechanisms and condense spirit crystals, our yearly production of spirit crystals will reach over a hundred. If we establish more grotto heavens everywhere, in at most three years, the annual yield of spirit crystals could surge to three hundred. For the Transformed Spirit Heavenly Dao to reach perfection, a thousand spirit crystals will be sufficient."
"How many spirit crystals have you hidden in secret?"
"After taking a portion away for you, we now have only two hundred left."
Gu Jinlai nodded, "I will take these two hundred spirit crystals with me first, and deal with the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect’s issues before anything else. As for the Devil altering its tactics..."
He thought of the terrifying presence hidden deep within the Spirit Realm and had a vague guess in his heart.
"I think, as long as we prevent Cheng Ying Mechas from fully entering the Longevity World, keeping them from detecting an imminent existential threat, they will not take the step of using their Demon Spirit forms to erode the Longevity World."
Zhao Xi gave Gu Jinlai a look.
After a moment, he ultimately chose to trust him completely.
Zhao Xi nodded, "Do you plan to take these spirit crystals with you through the Star Gate after five months, or try to use the pathway of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect? You have the Mirage Dragon Pearl on you, which should be able to evade their perception."
Gu Jinlai shook his head, "Due to the special nature of the ’Heavenly Dao’ system, the immortals of the Profound Immortal Realm possess divine senses far stronger than those of us in the Longevity World."
"Let’s wait for five months."
"Alright, during these five months, I will do my best to have them collect more spirit crystals for you to take back."
As for the notion of someone carrying two hundred spirit crystals through the Immortal Country and the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect’s passage...
Every person entering the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect was under strict surveillance.
Unless Gu Jinlai was prepared to confront the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect right now, this method was pointless.
Star Shining Federation.
At this moment, within the Star Shining Federation, six hundred miles away from the Cosmic Light Laboratory, a building standing a hundred meters tall was finally completed with the effort of a massive workforce and resources.
After multiple inspections, on this day, almost all the high-ranking officials of the Star Shining Federation gathered at a command center tens of miles from this building.
Looking at the large building, Dr. Harryman, the head of the Apocalypse Project Team, couldn’t help but express his admiration, "After nearly three years and the investment of trillions of funds, this Star Spirit Platform! It has finally been completed!"
"Okay, Dr. Harryman, the final round of checks has been passed. So now, shall we try to activate the Star Spirit Platform? Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has been looking forward to the miracle that is about to unfold."
As the spokesperson for the President and a member of the Apocalypse Project Team, Lao Keren urged.
"This will be the greatest moment since the 21st century, and likewise, a moment that will be recorded in history!"
Robert’s voice echoed in the command center, and with a slight shift in position, he made way for the smartly dressed elder almost in his seventies behind him, "Let President Edward personally initiate the beginning of this new era for human civilization."
