Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 536

Sun Wukong stared intently at the ball of light that Nezha had handed him, lightly touching it with his fingertips, sensing the vast flow of information contained within it.

Inside the sphere of light, celestial data flowed like a rushing galaxy, perfectly matching the fluctuation curve of the gemstone's energy.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing his surroundings. After a long while, he slowly opened them, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips.

"Very good, Nezha, your efforts have not been in vain."

Sun Wukong's voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of relief.

He handed the ball of light back to Nezha, then turned his gaze to Yang Jian and Taibai Jinxing.

"Yang Jian, is the observatory operating normally?"

Yang Jian stood to one side, his back straight, his gaze calm and resolute.
"Great Sage, the observatory is operating stably, and all indicators are within the expected range. All energy detection instruments have been calibrated and are ready for the next test at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a heavenly soldier rushed up behind him and whispered a few words in his ear.

Yang Jian, without changing his expression, reported to Sun Wukong:

“Great Sage, news has come from the Refining Palace that the reinforcement of the gem energy container has been completed and it can withstand greater energy fluctuations.”

He paused and added.

"However, the master craftsman suggests that during the initial test, the energy output should ideally be kept below 50% of the estimated value to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Venus stroked his long beard and replied:
"The master craftsman is right. Caution is paramount; only by proceeding steadily can we ensure success."

A hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"I have arranged enough manpower and spare supplies to be ready to deal with any emergencies at any time."

He bowed slightly.

"Great Sage, everything is ready, and we can begin testing at any time."

He looked at Nezha, his tone softening slightly.

"Nezha, thank you for your hard work. Your accurate judgment will be needed for the next observation."

Nezha straightened his chest, gripped his Fire-Tipped Spear tightly, and his eyes burned with excitement:
"Great Sage, please give instructions!"

His tone was firm and unwavering.

Sun Wukong looked around at the three of them, his gaze deep and sharp.

He nodded slowly, his voice echoing like a booming bell on the observatory:

"Alright! Let's begin! Remember, safety first! Nezha, you're in charge of celestial observation and data recording; Yang Jian, you're in charge of energy monitoring and safety; Venus, you're in charge of information transmission and resource allocation. Report any abnormalities immediately!"

He paused for a moment, then emphasized:

"It is imperative to ensure the stable control of the gemstone's energy!"

His gaze was sharp as he swept over the three of them, finally settling on Nezha with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Nezha took a deep breath, picked up the gem again, and carefully placed it on the energy testing platform, his expression focused and serious.

The gemstone emitted a soft glow, instantly enveloping the entire observatory. The instruments on the testing platform began to flash, and various data points jumped rapidly, indicating the gemstone's energy was constantly increasing.

Nezha chanted incantations and rapidly formed hand seals, guiding the release of the gem's energy.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere on the observatory was tense. Everyone held their breath, watching the instruments intently.

Yang Jian held the three-pointed double-edged sword, his eyes fixed on the energy monitoring instrument, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.

Venus, meanwhile, was closely monitoring the situation in the Three Realms to prevent any unforeseen events.

He would occasionally look back at the busy heavenly soldiers behind him to make sure everything was under control.

Finally, after several hours of precise control and meticulous observation, the test was successfully completed.

The gemstone's energy was released steadily, achieving the expected goal, and no unexpected situations occurred.

Nezha let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He organized the test data and presented it to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong took the data, examined it carefully, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He looked at Nezha and said approvingly:

"Nezha, you did a great job."

Yang Jian put down his three-pointed double-edged sword, his tone calm:

"Great Sage, this test was a complete success, proving that our plan is feasible."

Venus also breathed a sigh of relief, his tone calm:
“Great Sage, this test not only proves our ability to control the energy of gemstones, but also lays a solid foundation for further research in the future.”

Sun Wukong looked at the three people in front of him, his eyes filled with satisfaction and anticipation.

He spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful:
"Alright, the next task is even more important. We need to develop a more comprehensive plan based on the results of this test in order to better utilize the energy of the gemstones and safeguard the safety of the Heavenly Court."

He gazed firmly into the distance, his eyes shining brightly.

After that, Sun Wukong carefully studied the data submitted by Nezha, his brows furrowed, his fingertips lightly tapping the table, making a regular "tap-tap" sound.

The lights from the observatory illuminated his slightly weathered face, highlighting his solemn expression.

He flipped through the thick data book, sometimes looking down in deep thought, sometimes looking up at the brilliant starry sky outside the window, as if searching for some kind of answer.

After a long while, he slowly spoke:
“Nezha, the connection between the gem’s energy and the stars is much more complex than we thought.”

As he spoke, he handed a data chart to Nezha.

"You see, the correlation between this energy fluctuation and the trajectory of the stars is not entirely consistent; there are many inexplicable discrepancies."

Nezha took the data charts and examined them carefully. He frowned, and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

He gently traced the curve on the chart with his finger, muttering to himself:

"Indeed, this deviation... does not seem to be random, but rather follows some kind of pattern."

He raised his head and looked at Sun Wukong.

“Great Sage, we need more accurate data and longer-term observation.”

He gently placed the fire-tipped spear on the table and began to think intently.

Inside the observatory, the faint hum of the sophisticated instruments sounded exceptionally clear at this moment. Sun Wukong nodded.

"Yang Jian, you need to fine-tune the observatory to ensure it can capture even the faintest energy fluctuations. The accuracy must be improved by another level."

He paused and continued.

"Venus, you need to coordinate resources to extend the observation period to one month and send more people to assist Nezha in data analysis and celestial simulation. Remember, personnel arrangements must take into account rotation and rest to ensure the continuity of observation."

Sun Wukong put down the data book in his hand, his gaze deep, as if he had seen through the mysteries of this vast starry sky.

He slowly rose, walked to the center of the hall, surveyed the three people inside, and spoke in a steady and powerful tone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, based on current observational data, the energy of this gem does not simply correspond to celestial phenomena; it contains deeper underlying principles. To unravel this mystery, we need more precise observational data and longer-term continuous observation."

He paused, turned his gaze to Yang Jian, and spoke with a firm tone:
"Yang Jian, immediately begin upgrading the observatory's precision, ensuring it reaches a completely new level. This is crucial to our ability to fully control the gem's energy!"

Yang Jian's eyes sharpened, and he immediately responded:

"Yes, Great Sage! I will make the arrangements immediately."

As he spoke, he turned and strode away, his footsteps echoing in the empty hall.

He walked out of the main hall and immediately summoned the celestial soldiers and generals responsible for the maintenance of the observatory. He quickly arranged various precision upgrade tasks, his expression serious and meticulous, allowing no room for slackness.

The night outside the hall was deep, with only the bright lights on the observatory illuminating the tense and busy night.

Sun Wukong then looked at Nezha, his eyes filled with expectation:
“Nezha, your observation data is invaluable, but this is just the beginning. We need to continue observation for a month to capture more subtle changes in the gem's energy in order to find the patterns hidden within it.”

Nezha's eyes shone brightly, and he nodded without hesitation:

"Understood, Great Sage! I will readjust the celestial sand table immediately to prepare for a longer and more precise observation mission."

As he spoke, he turned and returned to his workbench, where he began to get busy.

He quickly adjusted the positions of the stars on the sand table, his expression focused, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, which he didn't bother to wipe away.

The flickering candlelight inside the hall illuminated his focused and absorbed figure.

Finally, Sun Wukong's gaze fell on Taibai Jinxing, his tone gentle yet firm:

"Venus, you need to carefully arrange personnel rotations for a month to ensure the continuity of observation work. At the same time, you also need to coordinate resources from all parties to ensure the smooth progress of observation and data analysis within a month."

Venus stroked his long beard and bowed slightly:

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this old minister will do his utmost to ensure the smooth progress of the observation work within a month."

As he spoke, he turned and left the main hall, preparing to arrange personnel rotation and resource allocation.

His steps were steady, though somewhat slow, yet they gave off a reliable and dependable feeling. He seemed like an experienced old helmsman who would lead the giant ship of Heaven through this crisis.

Sun Wukong watched the three figures depart one after another and sighed softly. He knew that this would be a long and arduous task, but it concerned the future of the Heavenly Court and could not be taken lightly.

He sat alone in the main hall, holding the precious gem in his hand, gazing intently at the starry sky outside the window, lost in thought for a long time.

He said in a deep voice, "All personnel involved in observation and data analysis must be prepared within three days! This month is crucial to the safety of the Heavenly Court!"

His tone was firm and forceful, leaving no room for doubt.

His words echoed in the empty hall, as if announcing the official start of this protracted war concerning the fate of the Heavenly Court.

He slowly rose, walked outside the hall, looked up at the starry sky, and the starlight illuminated his face and his firm and unwavering belief.

Then, with steady steps, he walked straight to the weapon-refining palace to check on the progress of the energy container reinforcement work.

He needs to make sure everything is ready to meet the challenges ahead.

His figure stood out exceptionally tall in the night, like a majestic mountain guarding the safety of the Heavenly Court.

His steps were firm, his eyes deep, as if they contained boundless power.

His figure disappeared into the night, leaving only the echoes lingering in the hall and the gem that emitted a mysterious light.

The night outside the main hall was deep, with only a few stars twinkling.

Sun Wukong's figure disappeared in the direction of the weapon-refining palace, leaving behind a moment of tranquility.

Upon receiving Sun Wukong's order, Yang Jian immediately summoned the heavenly soldiers and generals responsible for maintaining the observatory. With sharp eyes and an unquestionable tone, he gave the command:

"Immediately begin upgrading the observatory's precision! All instruments must reach optimal condition in the shortest possible time! The precision requirements must exceed those of any previous observation!"

As he spoke, he quickly surveyed the observatory, his fingers lightly touching the surface of the precision instruments, feeling the subtle vibrations of their operation.

Under the starlight, his tall figure cast a long shadow on the observatory.

The engineers responsible for maintaining the observatory all had serious expressions. They understood that this was not just an ordinary upgrade, but a major task related to the safety of the Heavenly Court. Therefore, they were all on high alert and meticulously carried out Yang Jian's orders.

They skillfully operated various instruments, precisely adjusting every parameter; the air was filled with the sounds of machinery and a tense atmosphere.

The enormous observatory stood majestically in the night, with the sounds of sophisticated instruments humming incessantly.

At the same time, after receiving the order, Nezha immediately went to the secret room where the celestial sand table was stored.

He looked at the huge starry sky sand table in front of him, the sand grains were fine and the starry sky was brilliant, like a miniature of the real starry sky.

He took a deep breath and began to readjust the positions of the stars on the sand table with a focused expression. He carefully manipulated each grain of sand that represented a star, his movements gentle and meticulous, as if afraid of damaging the intricate structure of the sand table.

The bright oil lamp illuminated his earnest and focused face. The secret room was quiet, with only the sound of Nezha playing with the sand.

The entire room was enveloped in a tense yet orderly working atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Venus was dealing with even more tedious work. He sat in the administrative center of Heaven, surrounded by piles of documents and reports. He flipped through the documents, making annotations with a brush, his brow furrowed and his expression serious.

He needs to allocate a large amount of resources, including personnel, materials, and funds, to ensure the smooth progress of observation and data analysis within a month.

His movements were fluid and graceful, demonstrating years of experience and efficiency.

He also needs to coordinate the shift arrangements for all parties to ensure that everyone can get enough rest in order to guarantee the continuity of the observation work.

The entire administrative center was brightly lit, with staff members bustling about, creating a scene of busy yet orderly activity.

After inspecting the reinforcement progress of the weapon-refining palace, Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction.

The blacksmith in charge of forging the gem energy container, a weathered old man, was hunched over, swinging his hammer at the furnace, the firelight reflecting off half of his face.

He raised his head, his cloudy eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

"Great Sage, rest assured, the energy container will definitely withstand the test!"

Sun Wukong patted him on the shoulder, turned and left. The night deepened and a cool breeze blew.
