The entire era erupted once again.
Everyone thought the Hundred-member Council would quickly counterattack the Black Star that stirred up the era's waves, but it vanished without a trace.
Even Li Qing was bewildered; this was against common sense...
Even the entire Eternal Sect began to worry.
They were waiting for the Hundred-member Council to strike back, but who knew they would play dead without regard for face.
Leaders of more advanced civilizations directly ignored the situation, leaving the pressure on their shoulders.
They felt immense pressure!
When an external enemy invades the territory, the Emperor plays dead, and we ministers planned a move, but now we're the ones anxious.
"Damn it!"
"What should we do?"
"It's a dilemma, are we supposed to join them?"
"If we don't join, the mutated Celestial Vaulting List experts will surely attack us... with no protection from above, aren't we supposed to flee?"
They have already begun to realize that their forces have been infiltrated by the Immortal Dao System.
The new era has set sail, the turning point is coming, and the forces of the old era will face a complete shuffle. If they can't hold on, they will be replaced by new rising powers.
It was at this moment that they realized a truth:
The clown was actually myself.
"What is the council doing?"
"Do they not care about civilization?"
"They're crazy! How dare they stand by idly??"
The guilds of the top powers in the cosmos were in complete chaos, arguing endlessly.
They analyzed five or six optimal solutions, possible counterattacks from the council.
But this response...
Was unexpected.
Every think tank was made a fool.
The true mastermind behind the invasion of the artificial universe, Li Qing, sat on a high building, overlooking the scenery, seemingly smiling.
"This civilization is too pragmatic. Is everyone just letting go and starting a family feud, I don't care, you don't care, let's see who loses patience first?"
When Li Qing was also puzzled, he overheard Sylvie and Sylph discussing the disappearance of the council during a log-off today.
"I think this is natural," said Sylvie. "I can completely understand."
Sylph said, "Indeed, for those existences, what logic do we need? What absolute rationality and optimal response? Go with one's desires!"
"They stand too high, like His Majesty Nokron, playing around... they just find it amusing."
"Isn't that so?"
Sylvie nodded, "Just like playing chess with His Majesty, with similar combat power, one would make the best strategic moves, but if there's a huge combat power gap, a chess master likes to use all sorts of interesting chess moves to toy with a new player."
Sylvie's words immediately enlightened Li Qing.
If they are not strong enough, they would be fearful, cautious, using all sorts of optimal solutions.
But if they are overwhelmingly strong, they'd instead perform all sorts of anti-human, anti-logical actions.
The situation can be summarized in one sentence:
"The Lord knows, the Lord doesn't care"
The Lord doesn't counterattack, the Lord even kicks the ball around, which is the greatest disdain.
Li Qing's expression grew more solemn:
It seems that the horror of the opponent needs to be elevated to a higher degree.
However, having accumulated for so long, if it wasn't terrifying enough, even if there's so little divine level on the surface, it wouldn't make sense.
"This Black Star guy, acting arrogant and provocative, only to hit cotton."
Seeing the opponent playing dead, Li Qing also happily played dead.
"Time to absorb some higher life rings."
Li Qing found in the chaos, attention shifted entirely to the new system, with less emphasis on mechas.
Just right for him to continue reaping benefits.
Current Life Ring Level:
490,000 rings.
...
...
Unexpectedly, a century passed silently through the era.
The Immortal Dao mutation virus rampant, ignored by all.
Mecha Masters began studying cultivation, neglecting their duties.
"So wonderful! Is this Extraordinary Life?" "So cool!" Countless cultivators began establishing radiation cultivation cave mansions, absorbing all sorts of cosmic radiation in the void... this is Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Scientists started studying Immortal Dao:
"The Sun's natural radiation, nuclear energy is more efficient!"
Even more tycoon forces seized the opportunity to build a Dyson Sphere on the edge of the Sun.
The technology was originally impractical, but now it is highly practical.
Cities on Dyson Spheres became cave mansions, truly absorbing the essence, making a wave of cosmic real estate industry blazing hot.
The sunset real estate industry became full of vitality.
One by one, Suns were quickly covered.
Even after mutations, some existences weren't afraid of radiation anymore and even began surfing and playing on the Sun.
Various sunny beaches were rapidly developed!
It's safe to say in the era of technology, reaping benefits is still fast.
With these changes, even bigger conflicts began emerging.
On the streets, many Immortal Cultivators were fine, but those Demon Cultivators with nuclear fission bodies, each being a source of radiation, who would dare come close?
At once, many people from various planets protested and resisted.
"Return our home!"
"Take away our radiation sickness!"
Of course, Demon Cultivators couldn't tolerate this: "This is the trend of the era, if you don't join, you blame us?"
Therefore, countless people petitioned to the Hundred-member Council, yet there was still no response.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed again.
Li Qing found that the entire world heavily focused on the Immortal Dao System and couldn't help but continue to consult the Eternal Sect he affiliated with, to acquire more faction mechas.
Initially, it was hard to obtain this thing, but now it's much easier.
The Starry Sky Blade God of the Eternal Sect, having a fair relationship with him, advised: "Your research ability is so strong, you might try researching magical treasures, after all, the two are essentially the same. Keeping up with the new era's pace and having more understanding isn't a bad thing."
However, this goodwill was refused by Li Qing.
The magical treasure system was created by himself for the Black Star.
In the era with no outstanding individuals, the boss could only do the employees' work to help develop the system.
"I am a resolute conservative," Li Qing answered, "I need mechas."
"Alright, we got it."
The other party, seeing they couldn't persuade him, didn't care either. Developing the new Celestial Mecha was also a mighty combat force.
Time, in the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed.
The entire civilization became more complex, two systems collided.
It was then discovered that the council seemed to intentionally allow the Immortal Dao System to develop.
Many think tanks began to speculate anew:
"Are they trying to reverse host and guest roles?"
"Yes, your invasion here might not be a self-destructive mission? I incorporate your system and take advantage of it to develop and assimilate?"
"But, haven't they absorbed almost enough by now? If they don't counterattack soon, it'll be too late."
As everyone discussed.
Space suddenly trembled violently.
"What happened?"
Everyone looked up to see an extremely familiar, yet incredibly unbelievable, scene occur in this universe.
Space split apart.
They saw a spatial breach open in the cosmos.
Outside was an endless sea of space fragments, within which a terrifying existence stood silently.
Everyone stared blankly as the terrifying aura within suppressed everyone to the point where they couldn't move, as if witnessing the ultimate lifeform that transcends the cosmos.
"Divine Upper level."
Everyone knew a truly terrifying existence had fully descended, and the counterattack against the Immortal Dao civilization had officially begun.
