Chapter 665: 665. Rapid Growth Period

Chapter 665: 665. Rapid Growth Period

Lu Li could now control magnetic fields and radio waves, and even harness gravity, freely constructing the microscopic world.

In his eyes, reality was nothing more than an arrangement of atoms, a pile of uninteresting data.

Even emotions were just impulsive results of hormonal glands.

Lu Li could entirely block them out, becoming more purely efficient.

He only needed a thought to do this, and those in the same realm were just as capable, in a straightforward manner.

Yet, on his journey, no one took the initiative to do this; Wu Xu included more “spiteful” elements.

The “Primordial” went to great lengths to actively seek the shackles of sentiment.

The reason was, emotions are the proof that life is living.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the power, it’s just a celestial body suspended in deep space.

At the moment, Lu Li raised his hand to caress Gong Xue’s exaggerated curves, gliding from her waist to her chest, and finally stopping on her face.

Such a soul-stirring beauty, whose every move and smile made people linger and forget to return, was also the best “Anchor.”

Able to anchor humanity through desire, to counter the excessive rationality that power brought, Lu Li didn’t have to exert much effort to stand on the side of humanity.

“It is an honor for your concubine to help the young master safeguard his heart and maintain righteousness~”

Gong Xue was glad to be the “Anchor,” signifying a certain status in Lu Li’s heart and not merely a plaything.

Perhaps it wasn’t love yet, just a strong affection, but there was plenty of time ahead, and Gong Xue was already quite content with such a favorable start.

At that moment, Qiu Sheng flew in, looking at the rapidly shrinking Star Nebula, she said with satisfaction,

“Indeed, with Gong Xue’s help, efficiency has greatly increased. It wasn’t a waste of effort after all.”

“I owe it to my Master for making this possible!”

Gong Xue rarely bowed to Qiu Sheng, saying, “Your concubine will serve you for eternity, and I will never speak ill of you again.”

Qiu Sheng hauled her to her feet and shook her head,

“I’ve never treated you as a servant, let alone considering that you’ve reshaped your body with my flesh and blood, we’re essentially sisters.”

Touched, Gong Xue grasped Qiu Sheng’s hand, “So, I’m the elder sister now! Sister, I will surely take good care of you!”

“You wish, I am the elder sister!”

Qiu Sheng knocked on Gong Xue’s head and added,

“You seem intelligent and gentle on the surface, a good person, but I didn’t expect you to be such a coquette.”

Gong Xue giggled, “Your concubine was just a bit wanton in order to achieve Human and Artifact Fusion with the young master~”

“Enough talk, stop quibbling now, you better assist Lu Li well, I need to continue Cross-border.”

Qiu Sheng then said to Lu Li,

“I’m going out to move around, get used to the realm, and try to consolidate the ‘Heart Image.'”

The importance of the Heart Image goes without saying, and with a body, it’s something that needed to be replenished promptly.

Lu Li nodded, “Go ahead, take these Spirit Mechanisms with you.”

As soon as these words fell, six “Life Spirit Stars” surged out with a vast blue light and poured forth.

The total amount was 500,000 units, a particularly pure and rich Spontaneous Spiritual Mechanism.

Under normal circumstances, one would have to fight with others or save up for a hundred and eighty years to obtain it.

This was the advantage of having many Life Spirit Stars; one would never lack resources for secure development.

Qiu Sheng didn’t stand on ceremony, opened up her “Body Light” and collected them all, then gave a nod to both, and entered the Divine Thought Channel, disappearing.

In a hurry, Qiu Sheng had not only the Heart Image to replenish but also much more to be busy with.

This was one of the reasons why she had handed Gong Xue over to Lu Li, and the results now seemed excellent.

At that moment, Gong Xue became more familiar with the process, and her efficiency in refining increased by 20% over the original basis!

The rate of digestion far outpaced the rate of consumption.

Even as the transmigrators and their wives ceaselessly turned in Spiritual Objects, the accumulation of “Star Nebula” was still inexorably shrinking.

In just two days, only a small cluster remained, smaller than the moon itself.

However, after that, the rate of digestion slowed down, and the “Star Nebula” managed to maintain its size.

It wasn’t that Gong Xue was tired; it was due to the transmigrators’ population expanding too quickly.

With their enthusiasm running high and Lu Li guiding the Spirit Mechanism from the Earth Core, reaching the Bone Forger Realm presented little difficulty.

The number of transmigrators had already grown to a million! And it was exploding towards ten million.

The official response was timely guidance and organization, consolidating the manpower.

This nationwide mass transmigration had become like a national project where citizens were clearing a networked game.

After a brief period of acclimatization, the army of a million transmigrators, whether amicably farming or conquering through killing, used a series of methods to obtain their harvest and exchange it for points.

The various Spiritual Objects they turned in were then refined by Gong Xue and the Kunlun Mirror into “Spiritual Quality.”

Lu Li’s Spirit Realm expanded rapidly and soon broke through the significant mark of 200 million kilometers in diameter.

This had surpassed 10% of the total goal, moving smoothly from the accumulation phase into the “rapid growth phase.”

The expansion of the Spirit Realm accelerated further; with the combined force of two max-level treasures, fueled by endless resources, the diameter swiftly reached 500 million kilometers.

Even for the “rapid growth phase,” this was alarmingly fast.

Lu Li felt a throbbing pain in his head; only by exhausting the Spirit Mechanism from the Life Spirit Star could he barely hold on.

At that time, Xiaoyu was also at home and, seeing this, expelled her Life Spirit Star and Neutron Spirit Star, handing them over to Lu Li to use.

With this reinforced support, the situation stabilized in an instant, and Lu Li continued to maintain extremely rapid cultivation expansion.

But these measures were just enough to maintain balance; relentlessly pursuing speed would inevitably lead to hidden dangers.

To adapt to the rapidly expanding Spirit Realm, Lu Li’s consciousness was operating on overload.

As the Spirit Realm grew, this burden continued to increase.

To fulfill his primary task, his consciousness would voluntarily shut down less critical functions, such as... emotions.

Lu Li was a relatively detached person to begin with, and his facial expressions became increasingly indifferent, like a block of ice.

Soon after, even that coldness vanished, and Lu Li became utterly hollow.

He cared for nothing, turning a blind eye to everything, solely focused on becoming stronger... like a stone, like the mercilessly churning Sun.

“Young Master, would you like to take a break?”

Gong Xue, being wide-ranging in her knowledge, immediately sensed something was amiss and voluntarily slowed down the refining process.

Lu Li blinked and quickly regained his senses, “Ah, let’s take a break.”

“Young Master, sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting firewood. Allow your concubine to serve you~”

Gong Xue remembered her role as an “Anchor,” using her enthusiasm and allure to draw Lu Li back to the human world.

“Young Master, let’s rest like this every half-day from now on. I am a Natural God of a realm, inherently skilled in nurturing and will surely provide you with strong progeny.”

“Agreed.”

Lu Li realized something had been wrong with his state before, so he agreed very readily.

Gong Xue smiled with blooming joy, but inwardly, she regretted not suggesting this earlier; so many opportunities had been wasted in vain.

She was not new to Lu Li’s acquaintance, having always held fond feelings for the coldly intelligent and powerful Young Master.

Now that her appetite had been whetted, her liking for him went deep into the marrow.

“We can’t let the Young Master fall into Supreme Forgetfulness.”
