Chapter 671: 671. The Heavenly Dao is Unjust
"The advancement to the 'Infinite' realm requires the opening of a permanent Black Hole, which pulls the entire Spirit Realm into motion, just like a natural star system.
So Lu Li decided to head to the center of the Milky Way to comprehend the 'Silver Heart Black Hole'. Fortunately, his wives were all there, so he casually greeted them.
Qiu Sheng strongly agreed, 'You originated from there; it's only right that you return to your roots for reference.'
Gong Xue also said, 'Young master need only focus on comprehending the Dao; leave the rest to me, and I assure you everything will be in safe hands!'
Gobbling up the 'Fierce Sun Sovereign' left an extremely heavy task of sacrificial refinement, which would undoubtedly require Gong Xue to expend all her energy.
Lu Li said, 'Then I'll leave it to you.'
'It's my duty. Please, young master, don't be so polite. I must get busy now,' she replied.
Running short on time, Gong Xue didn't linger for idle chat and began the refinement process right away.
Xiaoyu, Wanqing, and the others, unwilling to remain idle, all chimed in:
'Then we'll continue on our cross-border journey to gather more resources.'
'The breakthrough this time is no small matter; the more resources, the better!'
Focused solely on providing support for Lu Li, they readied themselves to embark on their journey anew.
Lu Li said with a smile, 'Then I won't be too courteous... Oh, right, there is also good news—everyone's Magic Treasures have finally advanced!'
After a ferocious onslaught on the 'Fierce Sun Sovereign,' everyone's Magic Treasures managed to accumulate enough experience and successfully progressed.
Lu Li gestured with a wave of his hand, and a plethora of Magic Treasures flew to the forefront, glinting as they arrived.
Breaking through the electron degenerate pressure, they were now in a 'Neutron Star Form', each one emitting bursts of brilliant white light like miniature suns.
Their surfaces were also enveloped in extremely strong magnetic fields, making anything or anyone below Golden Body Realm disintegrate into dust merely by approaching.
Such was the terror of a First-Grade Magical Treasure. Though they had just broken through, their strength was only at the lowest First Grade, far behind in aura compared to the 'Xuanyuan Sword.'
Not that this was a problem; they could be slowly refined over time.
For the time being, Lu Li and his family were quite content, each taking their Magic Treasures affectionately.
Only Xia Weiyun stood out somewhat…
While everyone else's Magic Treasures were objects, hers alone was a Daoist goddess that looked exactly like herself.
Qiu Sheng complimented, 'Having a human form, this treasure will more easily awaken its sentience—the future is limitless!'
Taking Gong Xue as a reference, Magic Treasures would ultimately need to awaken their own consciousness and open up a Spirit Realm, just like humans.
Born in human form, this Magic Treasure indeed had exceptional advantages.
Xia Weiyun herself was quite pleased, a blush of joy appearing on her pale face.
She had been nurturing her baby and was already entering the stage of pregnancy reactions, thankfully not too severe.
Meanwhile, Gong Xue, who had been busily occupied, suddenly called out:
'Mrs. Xia, may I borrow your Magic Treasure for a moment? I'm really swamped over here…'
Xia Weiyun was caught off guard and said, 'Ah? Of course, can I be of any help?'
'Certainly! Your treasure is a rare support-type Magic Treasure~'
Being more familiar with one another, Gong Xue explained briefly before taking Xia Weiyun's Magic Treasure into the Spirit Realm.
The Fierce Sun Sovereign was a mass of Constant Star, making its refinement extremely difficult.
Moreover, with the proceeds handed over by the transmigrator from Blue Star, Gong Xue truly had her hands full.
Fortunately, the dawn broke after the dark, with Xia Weiyun's Magic Treasure achieving a timely breakthrough.
The Daoist goddess, adorned in a white palace dress, entered the Spirit Realm and immediately expanded a 'Body Light' behind her upon being infused with Lu Li's Divine Thought.
This halo of light could absorb Star Nebulae and spray out 'Spiritual Quality'.
While definitely not as efficient as Gong Xue or the Kunlun Mirror, it could still achieve 20% energy efficiency, which was surely a significant boost.
Gong Xue let out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, it's finally stabilized. Thank you, Mrs. Xia."
"It's not like I can use it right now anyway, you don't need to be polite."
Xia Weiyun had been quite distressed about becoming a burden, but at this moment, she was quite pleased to be able to help.
Moreover, her magic treasure could not only enhance the Spirit Realm but also bestow it upon a person, allowing them to experience "Heart Image" ahead of time, which could be said to be of tremendous use.
It was also the only support-type among the many magic treasures coveted by women, which made it extremely rare.
The crowd had a good time watching and praising it.
Then they took a look at Qiu Sheng's "Mo Feng," after which Wanqing and Su Qing and the others left to attend to their own matters.
Only Qiu Sheng remained, saying to Lu Li,
"I want to bring out the Couple Unity as soon as possible, so I can fight alongside you... Can you spare the time?"
"Of course, I can. But I'd rather you act as a seed of fire."
Lu Li was thinking that if he were defeated in battle, Qiu Sheng could escape with the family, saving their lives for future plans.
Qiu Sheng didn't argue, just saying, "Let's produce it first and talk later. Helping you maintain the Spirit Realm is also good."
"Alright, since the journey to Silver Heart is long and we'll be idle anyway."
Lu Li raised his arm and wrapped it around Qiu Sheng's waist, activating the "Cross-border" ability and instantly returned to Blue Star.
Next, they would need to enter "Warp Speed" to reach the Silver Heart Black Hole directly.
However, before departing, Lu Li casually glanced at his hometown and then was stunned.
He saw that the already towering skyscrapers had become even more magnificent, with many buildings reaching straight into the sky, likely thousands of meters tall.
In addition to that, between the buildings, many floating cars were moving about, clearly utilizing anti-gravity technology.
It hadn't been that long since he'd been back, and the place had already taken on a science fiction style.
This was the result of traveling through All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, as well as deciphering the new technology mastered by the Fierce Star.
The entire Blue Star, the entire human advancement, had been completely transformed.
"A new world..."
Lu Li observed with interest, noticing that the people's essence, qi, and spirit were quite good.
Under official guidance, the public generally first went to the friendly "Farming World" to get through the beginner phase.
As a result, the death rates of transmigrators significantly decreased, and efficiency was ever-increasing.
There were also those who didn't wish to transmigrate; they remained in the main world to live normal lives.
"The food problem... It's nice that converting carbon dioxide into starch has solved it."
Tens of millions of able-bodied people transmigrating, the major grain-producing countries also trying their utmost to explore the "Fierce Star," the problem of food and drink for over a billion people became significant.
With the technology that broke the "Fierce Star" achieving controlled fusion, there was an endless supply of energy, which opened up the technology tree of "carbon dioxide to starch."
There was no shortage of food, technology was booming, everyone was transcendental, and life couldn't be more prosperous.
On the contrary, it was extremely difficult for other countries.
It could be said that the entire country tightened their belts, sending their elite personnel to the "Fierce Star" to fight desperate battles against the fierce aliens.
Although the Extraordinary Cultivation Method could be found on Xia Country's network, Lu Li had only directed the Spirit Mechanism to be within Xia Country's borders, with practically none in other regions.
While the people of Xia Country repeatedly achieved breakthroughs through their own cultivation, the people of other nations had no such results, which seemed quite abnormal.
And they quickly realized this too. Apart from lamenting the unfairness and partiality of the Heavenly Dao, many risked their lives sneaking across Xia Country's borders, attempting to steal the secret of the Spirit Mechanism for a breakthrough.
Of course, to say "steal" might be too strong a word.
The Spirit Mechanism belonged to the planet, to all humanity; it was just that Lu Li was biased.
To fight against the injustice of the Heavenly Dao, at this moment on the banks of the Yalu River, a covert squad of more than twenty foreigners was sneaking across.
