Him and their stars.

Chapter 2033 This is the demigod path I've been looking forward to since the day I was born.

Senior Brother is such a decisive person! However, he is also too decisive. Yu Lian always felt that the development of the content was too abrupt, as if there was a lot of groundwork missing in the middle, which made it too lacking in ritual.

Yu Lian twitched his nose, momentarily at a loss for what expression to make. He had a feeling that he was being used as a guinea pig.

Although this was something I wanted to do, the feeling of voluntarily agreeing to someone else's arrangement was still different: "Senior Brother, our Spirit Particle Technology Academy..."

“Calling it the Academy is quite good. After all, this place was originally the ‘Swaying Royal Court,’ a treasure of the Empire, belonging to King Velent. If we give it a name that is too simple, it will make the Empire feel disappointed, won’t it?” The eldest brother laughed and said, “Outside, there is ether, and there is the most essential mystical power. Outside, there are prey, but there are also predators. Only in this way can it be a place of cultivation chosen by the heavens.”

“Outside our academy, there dwell countless unspeakable beings. Long after that battle of metamorphosis, powerful Void Realm Lords sensed the fighting and felt the vibrant presence. The vibrant presence of high-ranking psionic beings means their will naturally remains here. The hidden rules of the Swaying Court allow it to evade the perception of Void Realm creatures, but that doesn't mean those higher-dimensional beings will give up,” the Flammore explained.

High-ranking human psionicists regard the things in the Void Realm as prey, and the other party does the same. Their purpose in existing in the Void Realm is to devour and evolve, and the "fresh breath" that represents the material world is undoubtedly a delicacy.

For Gerito Rivers, the past six months had been like working as a decorator under the noses of a group of Leviathans. The fact that he hadn't broken down was something to be quite proud of.

Perhaps because of the mental pressure he was under while working hard, even without doing any special training, his mental strength and mana bar had increased significantly. The strength of a psychic, which had been stuck for many years due to his worldly work, had actually increased.

Therefore, as long as a psychic can maintain their true self in the virtual realm, it is a form of spiritual practice.

Feifei said, "He just felt that everything went too smoothly. From the fleet entering the dragon's nest to opening the royal tomb and going straight to the underground palace, to finally retrieving the treasure, everything went too smoothly."

Yani said, "That's true. But so what?"

She looked at Yu Lian, her smile mocking, her eyes deep, filled with provocation, encouragement, and a calm acceptance of everything: "My dear, every stage of our psionic abilities is not natural. Our star rings are so perfect, our upgrade materials and evolution formulas are like programs written into the underlying logic of the universe. My intelligent star ring, at the Listener stage, can even hear the so-called Voice of All Things? Is this knowledge that existed in the past? Was it instilled into our minds in a pre-designed way, or is it the boundary we explored ourselves?"

Yu Lian was speechless for a moment.

Gongsun Qing and Feilian said they didn't understand, only the initial address. They looked at Ya Ni, then at Fei Fei, but couldn't glean anything from their expressions.

“But from the moment you led the dragon ship into the Empire’s homeland and acquired that Enlightener warship, this grand drama set in space had already begun,” Yani said.

“Your secret pouch is one of them,” Fei Fei said with a stern face.

"Don't worry about the details. I gave you the most reliable escape ticket; you're just clueless." Princess Rainbow Rose waved her hand. "They're inviting you, Yu Lian, and aren't you also enthusiastically accepting their invitation?"

“I really like this way of putting it,” Tantai Jing sighed. “They are inviting you, junior brother. In fact, they were also inviting our master when he arrived at the side of truth. Thank you so much… I am truly ashamed! I have nothing to say but gratitude.”

Why are you suddenly so grateful?

“Because you are a seventh ring and I am also a seventh ring. You are balance and I am also balance. Junior brother, if you succeed, you will be the first balance in history to enter the demigod realm. You have paved the way for all balance in the universe. Isn’t that something to be grateful for?” the senior brother said frankly.

He was an honest and upright gentleman, and he never hid anything from his junior brother, so naturally he wouldn't hide his little selfish desire.

"Don't worry, junior brother. Once it's activated, I will protect you to the very end. Although I dare not compare myself to our master and the Empress, nothing can harm you in the slightest unless they step over my dead body."

Generally speaking, people who say such things end up as corpses and are trampled over. Of course, considering that the senior brother, an old-fashioned gentleman, does indeed think this way, and Deng Zhengqing has a similar problem, Yu Lian naturally had no choice but to accept it.

However, since we've already come this far, dwelling on it any longer would just make me seem overly dramatic.

Yu Lian made up his mind, clapped his hands, and said in a flat, monotone voice, "Go for it! Come on everyone, including me! Let's all go for it and let ourselves go!"

This was probably the first time in his life that he was preparing to rely on his own (and his companions') brute force to fight against a Void Realm Lord or something even higher. But for some reason, he felt very calm, even less excited than when he commanded the Cold King Campaign and the Alien Transformation Campaign.

Does this mean that I am no longer simply a psychic? Do my physiological and psychological needs actually resemble those of a power-and-violence dictator, craving large-scale bloodshed and death?
Thinking like that just makes me feel even more pretentious. There's no conflict between the two. Yu Lian pursed his lips, silently sensing the circulation of the spiritual veins in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He decided he had to at least get himself excited.

Feifei smiled, turned her head and stared at Yani with bright eyes, as if she were staring at a sucker: "Very good, darling, everything is now in your hands."

Yani blinked, seemingly trying to play dumb. However, given her persona, if she were to actually feign ignorance, she would genuinely be acting foolish, so she simply chuckled.
"Girl, you really take it for granted!"

"Consider this compensation for stealing food from me right in front of me. Otherwise, I'd cut off your brain stem right now. I'm less than a meter away from you; even if you released a hundred alchemical battle puppets, it wouldn't save you."

Princess Rainbow Rose sighed: "Don't worry. I won't do that. Now that I'm here, I'm prepared for the consequences."

"As expected, all of this was within your observation range!"

"In a way, yes." She finally didn't deny it.

"Then, you should indeed be in charge. In charge of many things."

"So, it's just a curse! Feifei, the curse of the wallet." Yani dealt with her best friend's (and lover's) sarcasm while her gaze swept past the balcony of the observatory and landed on the square.

“The terrain is quite flat, but we can’t guarantee that the phase cage won’t affect the school buildings,” she said.

Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. He could already see the fountain in the center of the square approaching.

The psionic ball-shaped design was precisely because of his suggestion. Looking at the statues in the square and the fountain spraying water, Yu Lian immediately felt a strange atmosphere blending ancient spiritual energy, a brand-new futuristic feel, and a rich scholarly aura. This filled him with profound emotions.

To be honest, I would be a little sad if this fountain were smashed.

He could already sense that although the palace was still the same palace, his senior brother and the others, as psionic decorators, had put in a lot of effort.

He did not want the nearly completed Psionic Technology Academy to be destroyed.

Yani's gaze had already drifted to the school buildings that made up of palace-style buildings before she said, "Let's place it in the Grand Arena, which is ten kilometers away from the main school."

The eldest brother nodded again, saying it was a great thing.

Our college already has a large arena?

Yu Lian had barely passed the year when Ya Ni vanished from his sight. He wasn't surprised. In that instant, he had naturally captured the spatial trajectory she had left behind. In this ethereal world, as long as he understood and believed, he could easily traverse space, much less strenuous than jumping through force fields in the material world.

In a short while, he had already arrived at the center of a circular plaza from the top floor of the tower.

This is a huge space that can accommodate an entire celestial stadium plus a long circular running track, and perhaps even a double-digit number of dragons tearing each other apart.

All around were towering tiered stands, stacked one on top of another, converging until they formed a bowl-shaped dome. Through the gap in the dome, the twinkling starlight could still be seen.

Smooth, massive metal panels formed an impregnable wall before the plaza and steps. Intricately carved images were etched onto the metal panels, which were almost the size of a building.

The massive archway forms an arc-shaped passage between the walls, seemingly large enough for a dragon-turtle to stride along.

This is a huge stadium capable of holding hundreds of thousands of people, or perhaps an imperial arena expanded dozens of times.

There are many such all-purpose arenas within the empire.

Celestial spheres, flying balls, athletics, and horse racing can all be held. And of course, there's the gladiatorial games that the imperial devils love most. Whether it's between humans, humans and beasts, or humans and robots, they all enjoy them.

Yu Lian immediately sensed everyone's presence. In an instant, they all arrived at the Grand Arena from the Stargazing Tower in the school building, even Little Si Wang was no exception—she was now being carried by Fei Fei.

Yu Lian cast a look of admiration at his senior brother. In this field, only his senior brother could have undertaken such a large-scale expansion and renovation.

“You are a true architectural artist!” Yu Lian said.

Tantai Jing said somewhat embarrassedly, "Junior brother, you flatter me. There is no need to make mortar, fire bricks, or reinforce steel bars when adding or renovating in this academy. As long as you understand the rules of energy and matter transformation here, you can achieve the same result with one method."

In fact, the "refining" he and his fellow disciples spent half a year doing was to find this rule. As for the result, it was, of course, very successful.

Tantai Jing then laughed and said, "To want to start construction now is like..."

He was momentarily at a loss for words, and fell into a brief period of confusion.
"Is it like playing Minecraft?" Yu Lian thought.

"It's like playing Star Builder?" Yani asked curiously.

“Yes, yes, that’s it. My six-year-old grandson is playing with it, and I’ve seen him play with it a few times.” The eldest brother said, “Compared to us, the construction workers and engineers are the ones who really work hard; they are the real artists!”

Isn't that just a modified version of Minecraft's own timeline? Yu Lian added, "This also depends on your overall planning and comprehensive vision."

"This is also thanks to Professor Herito. He has the title of civil engineer, and his academic qualifications are much higher than mine." The senior brother still maintained a humble demeanor despite his resentment.

Yu Lian looked at the Flemish man and couldn't help but feel a deep respect. This Privy Councilor from the time of Empress Brunhilde was actually a diligent civil engineer!

"Students need sports facilities."

“That’s true.” Yu Lian nodded.

"The students still need more practical training," the senior student added.

This plaza is naturally like that. It's so big that it's big enough for King Kong and Sannoh to wrestle, and it's probably big enough for young psionicists to go all out in real combat.

Gongsun Qing rubbed his hands together and said, "So, in the end, we still have to fight."

She made no attempt to hide her excitement, and her whole demeanor became visibly animated, far more exuberant than Yu Lian's.

As for King Slein, he seemed to have realized something; his face turned pale, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Go to the stands and wait. Take the little girl with you," the senior brother instructed Gerito River.

The Flemish nodded in agreement.

So the audience seats are the safe zone?
At this point, under the supervision of the great director, Miss Bei naturally took action.

She flicked out a series of solid, pearl-like spiritual liquids from her sleeve, which instantly liquefied upon landing on the ground, forming a series of complete runes.

The liquid runes then seemed to come alive, dancing and moving across the ground before connecting together. A massive psionic array was activating.

Yu Lian could sense that it was clearly Yani's mental manipulation at work. To be fair, this method of drawing the array was very sophisticated; it was definitely much more elegant than simply kneeling on the ground and drawing with a pen.

However, this array looks rather familiar.

Yu Lian tilted his head, looking at the array that was taking shape, when he heard Fei Fei's sneer: "What's this? Does it look familiar?"

Really? Does it seem familiar? Should I be familiar with it?
Yu Liancai had only been wondering for less than two seconds when Yani said, "That's exactly what we used back in Nefi. That's how the Time-Eye Fish's eyes came about. It wouldn't be right to deny it now."

What's with this tone of asking me to take responsibility?
Yu Lian looked at Fei Fei, who had come to his side, and said solemnly, "Fei Fei, we are transferring risks during the ring upgrade. I have already told you this."

Feifei tilted her head and looked at the other person, seemingly puzzled: "This is what they're doing now, what else did you think it was?"

"No, I mean, Feifei, we will definitely join forces to reach the demigod realm."

The girl's peach blossom eyes then revealed a genuine smile and tender affection: "Yes, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Ever since the day I can remember."

"...You knew you were destined to become a demigod?"

“Yes, it’s destined to be this way, but the road ahead will only get harder. Their backgrounds are special, and they need to find a foothold in their real lives.” Fei Fei gripped Yu Lian’s hand tightly, as if trying to draw strength from him.

This was the tightest she had ever held on. It was as if Yu Lian would vanish if she loosened her grip even slightly.
