God Gate?
No!
Even a casual strike from him could reach the limits described by the God Gate concept.
"Is it too late to surrender now?"
Qing Wudi spoke with complexity, a hint of helplessness on his face, feeling like a clown himself, already abandoned by everyone, even rejected by the heavens and earth, yet in the end wanting to surrender.
But this was his most genuine thought.
Everything he did was to transcend heaven and earth, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain—can he be blamed?
If it were another opponent, he would seek fault within himself, but when his opponent was Lin Beichen, there was only one thought left in his mind.
It’s not that he didn’t try hard enough, but that the opponent exists outside of the Three Realms and Five Elements; no matter how hard he tries, it is meaningless.
Lin Beichen calmly looked at Qing Wudi, his gaze lacking any fluctuation.
"Whether I kill you or not, you will die today."
You have offended too many people and violated too many interests; after today, there won’t be an inch of land left for you. If you think being alone in this world is appealing, I will let you go, but you better think it through.
Humans are born to be social creatures, even those who enjoy solitude need a bustling marketplace to occasionally wander into.
From now until thousands of years later, being all alone?
Qing Wudi pondered silently, his lips twitching slightly, about to say something, but noticed the extreme energies surrounding Lin Beichen, his face changing.
On Lin Beichen’s body, thousands of cultivation bodies had gathered, such vast energy transcending the planet’s control limit.
At the edge of Lin Beichen’s thousand-energy body, there appeared an ambiguous void black light.
This was not black but a tearing black hole representing void energy.
If Lin Beichen remained here, there would only be one outcome next.
Perish in the imperceptible tearing of the black hole.
The planet is part of the cosmic laws, and even if Lin Beichen transcends a planet, there are still endless paths to explore.
So he still cannot linger in this world.
What was the point of everything he did?
As long as he does nothing, Lin Beichen will eventually leave this planet. When that day comes, he will still be the world’s master and can encompass the planet.
Qing Wudi once again felt deep helplessness and clown-like absurdity.
How laughably tragic life is.
Yet he said no more, simply extending his arms, step by step walking towards Lin Beichen.
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gradually dissipated from his body, and the Phoenix Mouth Array gradually extinguished.
He wanted to die.
Without the protection of the array and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Lin Beichen’s body felt like an enormous energy sun to him.
With each step, a part of his body dissolved, and by the time he reached Lin Beichen, his form was entirely illusory, transforming from a person to a concept of an energy body.
"Though I lost, it wasn’t you who killed me, so the defeat isn’t particularly disgraceful."
Qing Wudi acknowledged silently, his voice beyond the perception of human ears.
The energy waves reached Lin Beichen’s ears.
Lin Beichen gazed at him silently, nodding slightly.
Qing Wudi dissipated with the wind, and in the final second before he scattered, a Seed of Energy entered his body.
The energy core originated from Lin Beichen’s thousand bodies.
All Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi belonged to his body, released once more to the world, and Spiritual Qi will gradually recover, but will lose its master from now on.
Qing Wudi’s presence hastened Lin Beichen’s ascension to Saint, but also made him aware of one thing.
As long as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi remain under his control, for the human realm, there are shackles.
Only by transcending these shackles will the human realm have more possibilities.
Due to his array being in Dragon Country, along with the Phoenix Mouth Spiritual Qi Array guarding Dragon Country, Dragon Country will henceforth become the center of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The era of technology had already begun leaning towards Dragon Country, and in the era of Spiritual Qi, Dragon Country becomes an irrelevant center.
A single Phoenix Mouth Array would suffice to protect Dragon Country indefinitely, and he also resolved his last remaining concern.
From now on, his only task is to fuse thousands of bodies, create a cultivation body suited for cosmic survival, and then transcend this planet.
But before that, he has some matters to attend to.
The Phoenix Array requires someone to guard the array’s core, and Lin Beichen has some candidates in mind, but choosing who depends on their performance.
Lin Beichen has five candidates in mind.
The first person is Chen Fangzhi.
As a dormitory friend, Lin Beichen had long noticed Chen Fangzhi’s issues.
Though Chen Fangzhi isn’t a cultivator, he hails from a renowned cultivation clan.
Zhou Clan!
This terrifying family, once revered as an immortal clan in the Chinese world, with numerous elite members, had a young master without cultivation talent.
This is something no one could have anticipated.
Indeed!
Chen Fangzhi is the eldest young master of the Zhou Clan.
And as an individual of breakthrough fate anticipated by the family, they invested significant effort into Chen Fangzhi.
However, ultimately, Chen Fangzhi disappointed them.
Chen Fangzhi indeed broke through the Zhou Clan’s fate but fell from its peak to Hell.
Chen Fangzhi has no cultivation talent.
For this reason, Chen Fangzhi was hidden by the family, and to divert attention, a family betrayal incident was staged so no one would notice Chen Fangzhi.
Everyone was drawn by Zhou Hualong’s actions, forgetting about Chen Fangzhi.
Zhou Hualong caused turmoil outside for more than 20 years, during which time people occasionally remembered Chen Fangzhi, but as soon as rumors spread, Zhou Hualong immediately confronted them, fighting with various excuses.
If the opponent won, they became a significant enemy to the Zhou Clan; if they lost, it secured the secret.
Until this person met Lin Beichen, was killed in the scene, ending the subsequent turmoil of the decades-hidden incident.
Zhou Hualong was only a pawn; the real key lay with Chen Fangzhi.
Lin Beichen sensed it, with the Power of Heaven and Earth converging solely on Chen Fangzhi, realizing he wasn’t at Huadu College.
Chen Fangzhi was currently on a train heading towards the Polar Ocean.
The era is developing, and merely within ten years, the use of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has already integrated into various public projects.
Looking back over ten thousand years, humans have never been so prosperous: food can be freely consumed and wasted, water sources freely allocated, despite certain crises, it has reached humanity’s revival peak.
In this phase, supplies are no longer scarce, people can strive to the top freely.
Any new development will receive fervent pursuit, unlike the past.
In past eras, due to extreme scarcity, human society’s maintenance was fragile; even slight disturbances could cause national systems to collapse.
Merchants were not valued, craftsmen and researchers not respected, emphasis was on one aspect: those who stabilize and maintain civilization.
That era lacked resources, so people could only focus on immediate matters.
The current era is experiencing the pre-explosion phase of star civilization.
Chen Fangzhi quietly gazed out of the train’s window.
The train sped over the ocean, with no tracks below, but a virtual channel constructed from Spiritual Qi.
On this path, even encountering level 15 to 20 terrifying storms wouldn’t impact the train itself.
In the Era of Spiritual Qi, not only humans but the entire world grows stronger.
"Have you heard? Just ten days ago, a ten-thousand-meter beast emerged from the sea!"
"I’ve heard about it too, that’s why I’m taking this ocean train, to see if I can encounter it and witness the Divine Beast firsthand!"
"Really want to see this Divine Beast."
"Aren’t you afraid to die? This is a ten-thousand-meter beast—an aircraft carrier isn’t even a fraction of its size!"
A pragmatic middle-aged man scolded from the adjacent seat.
