For some unknown reason, even after the coalition forces completely occupied the Heaven Computation Center, the Sky Battleships and city defensive firepower still did not launch any large-scale weapons of mass destruction.
It seemed that the moment Pulang collapsed, the Intelligent God gave up control over City No.14.
With the coalition’s victory, everyone at the Heaven Computation Center was completely rescued, and the messages of the coalition’s victory were broadcast throughout the internal network of City No.14.
Everyone returned to the surface, celebrating this victory for humanity.
The elites of the Upper City District stood on the highest podium, shifting all blame onto the Intelligent God and claiming that everything from the past needed to be overhauled, that City No.14 needed to start establishing an entirely new council system.
The leaders of several organizations in the Lower City District also gained the status of council members, with the Upper City District deploying a massive amount of resources to demolish the houses in the Lower City District, building brand new houses for the people, discarding synthetic food, and promoting delicious, fresh, pre-cooked meals.
In addition to changes at the social level, the Upper City District also began early military arrangements.
Although the Intelligent God’s layout failed in City No.14, it still held absolute dominance in other cities, with the constant possibility of launching a massive attack on City No.14.
Thus, they engraved Heavenly Runes in every corner of the entire city to prevent City No.14 from being spied on by the Intelligent God.
They began developing the military, unsealing previously stored forbidden weapons, and opened Spiritual Transformation to the public at any cost. As long as you were willing to join the City Defense Army, you could enjoy the highest level of Spiritual Transformation.
Throughout the entire city, everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.
In the Seventy-first Cave, inside the underground pharmaceutical factory.
Lu Yan skimmed over the now-halted production line, retrieving the Spirit Marrow Ore embedded in the Feng Shui Array. The source of thɪs content is Nove1Fire.net
Inside the underground pharmaceutical factory, the faint prototype Spiritual Vein just formed within began to dissipate quickly, and within a week, the concentration of Spiritual Qi here would be comparable to that of the outside world.
Having tidied up his belongings, Lu Yan stepped out of the underground pharmaceutical factory.
Since the day the Heaven Computation Center was successfully captured, Lu Yan retreated to the underground pharmaceutical factory to focus on refining the Soul Banner.
Finally, yesterday, Lu Yan barely managed to stabilize the Soul Continent within the Soul Banner, restoring the banner’s weight to normal, allowing it to be stored in a storage bag.
However, there was no progress toward the goal of successfully refining the entire Soul Continent.
Currently, Lu Yan’s development of the Soul Continent remained zero, and its only use was perhaps the way he previously wielded the Soul Banner against Pulang’s head.
But this method was slow and easy to dodge, with the only benefit being that if one encountered a stubborn-headed opponent, even a Golden Core could be shattered to the point of soul scattering.
Nevertheless, Lu Yan felt that this usage seemed to be straying further from the name Soul Banner, resembling more the legendary Pangu Banner...
After City No.14 stabilized, Lu Yan also acquired many good things from Bewis.
Complete Soul Transformation Technology, advanced Compiler knowledge, Upper-Rank Spiritualist Transformation Technology, and even several large-capacity Spiritual Energy Fission Batteries, enough to last Lu Yan a long time.
Besides that, there was another gain in terms of identity.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan took out a brass badge from his bosom, engraved with an eye made up of six gears.
Below the badge, Lu Yan’s name was clearly inscribed.
This was the identity badge of the city council formed after City No.14’s reformation, with the six gears representing the status of a level-six councilor, second only to Pulang, the nominal highest speaker.
Yes, Pulang was not dead.
The newly created soul by the Intelligent God bore the Soul Banner containing the Soul Continent, while Pulang’s originally suppressed soul instead survived.
If it weren’t for this, Lu Yan would have long since taken the Extraordinary Psychic body away.
However, to prevent discrepancies in different versions, Lu Yan requested Bewis not to publicize his status as a level-six councilor, allowing it only to be used as verification when necessary.
The matters of the cyber version can be considered to have come to a complete ending, and Lu Yan’s version update time had arrived.
Returning to the alleyway in the Lower City District where he came from.
After ensuring that the surroundings were clear of any sudden robberies, Lu Yan neatly placed the prepared items around him.
"Advanced Compiler Knowledge," "Soul Transformation Theory," "Upper-Rank Spiritualist Transformation Technology," Spiritual Energy Battery...
As for knowledge-related items, Lu Yan had some backups in his storage bag, and he also refrained from discarding the Spiritual Energy Fission Batteries.
These batteries were extremely precious, with even the Upper City District having only a few. Without unlimited Spiritual Energy supply in the cyber version, these Spiritual Energy Fission Batteries still need to be used sparingly, lest they disappear, causing a huge loss.
Moreover, Lu Yan took out a lot of paper and blank chips, starting the final preparations.
He recorded the Heavenly Dao Code on over a thousand sheets of paper and hundreds of empty chips.
In the cyber version, nothing helped Lu Yan more than the Heavenly Dao Code, so Lu Yan was determined to take the Heavenly Dao Code to the next version.
Throughout the secluded alley, the walls and floor were almost entirely filled with the Heavenly Dao Code, with other items placed at appropriate distances by Lu Yan.
Time ticked by, and the version update was about to start.
Just at that moment, a message suddenly popped up on Lu Yan’s personal terminal.
Lu Yan instinctively glanced at his personal terminal, a message occupying the virtual screen.
[Universal Giant Corporation passed the resolution No.3571: Early collection of three hundred years of Spiritual Energy tax!]
The next moment, Lu Yan’s vision began to change, and the version update interface appeared before his eyes.
[This cyber version has ended, version change value: 11%]
A very high number, as most of the changes Lu Yan brought about were confined to City No.14, probably more than half of this 11% version change value was due to stealing a Soul Continent.
If not for the influence of the Soul Continent, the scale of City No.14 would have undoubtedly been lower.
Before Lu Yan could ponder further, the interface in front of him changed again.
[The version update progress is full. You may choose one from the following versions to update.
Student Version: This is a world of learning, without the flamboyance of the extraordinary, only the culmination of evolution: nursery school, elementary school student, junior high school student, high school student, college student...
Entertainment Version: Here gather classic works from countless worlds, use your wisdom to create your entertainment empire!
Urban Version: This is the best of times, yet also the most boring of times.]
