Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 544

The deputy general immediately directed the heavenly soldiers to connect the spare spirit stones to the formation. A dazzling light suddenly shone at the core of the formation, and the brilliance of the protective shield slightly increased, but it was still teetering on the brink of collapse.

The gale, carrying fragments of star energy, crashed against the formation with a hissing sound, as if it were about to tear the entire formation apart at any moment.

The heavenly soldiers watched the protective shield intently, not daring to relax their spiritual energy output in the slightest.

Nezha stood in front of the celestial sand table, his brows furrowed, his hands moving rapidly across the control panel, trying to adjust the intensity of the simulated storm.

However, the stars on the sand table continued to spin violently, and the energy fluctuations showed no signs of abating.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, his fingers trembled slightly, but his eyes remained fixed on the sand table, afraid of missing any detail.

The humming sound emanating from the sand table grew louder and louder, as if warning that the experiment was spiraling out of control.

"No, the energy feedback from the sand table is too strong; I can't fully control it!"

Nezha's voice carried a hint of anxiety. He turned to look at Sun Wukong, his eyes revealing a trace of helplessness and self-blame.

Sun Wukong stood on high ground, his gaze sweeping over every corner of the training ground, his expression stern and without the slightest hint of panic.

He reached into his robes and slowly took out three peaches. The peaches glowed with a faint golden light, and each peach contained powerful spiritual energy.

He lightly weighed the peaches in his hand, then flicked his wrist, throwing the three peaches towards the core of the formation, the star sand table, and the celestial soldier array, respectively.

The peaches traced three golden arcs and landed steadily in their respective positions.

Instantly, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from the peach, like a clear spring flowing into parched land, and the energy fluctuations of the entire training ground instantly stabilized.

The protective array shone brightly, and the previously shaky shield became as solid as ever.

The stars on the astronomical sand table gradually slowed down their rotation, and the violent energy fluctuations also weakened.

Nezha let out a long sigh of relief, his fingers gently moving across the sand table, adjusting the final parameters.

A confident smile returned to his face, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"The Great Sage's peaches are indeed miraculously effective!"

Nezha sighed, his voice tinged with admiration. He turned to look at Sun Wukong, his eyes filled with respect.

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the training ground, as if waiting for something.

His hands were behind his back, his expression was calm, but his eyes revealed unwavering focus and vigilance.

He knew that the critical moment of this experiment was not yet over, and any negligence could lead to the failure of all previous efforts.

On the training ground, the celestial soldiers regained their footing, and the spiritual energy barrier remained as solid as ever.

Their eyes blazed with renewed fighting spirit, and their movements became perfectly synchronized, as if proclaiming their resilience and strength to the storm.

Yang Jian stood before the celestial soldiers' formation, his gaze sweeping over each soldier, his voice steady and powerful:

"Hold the formation and keep training! We will never be defeated by this storm!"

The heavenly soldiers responded in unison, their voices resounding and their morale soaring.

Their movements became more stable, and their spiritual energy output became smoother, as if the impact of the storm had actually stimulated their potential.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed over the training ground, and the lightning and thunder subsided.

The stars on the astronomical sand table have resumed their normal operation, and the energy fluctuations are stable and orderly.

The entire training ground returned to calm, with only the uniform sounds of the heavenly soldiers training in unison.

Sun Wukong remained standing on the high place, his gaze sweeping over everything in the arena, his expression cold yet tinged with a hint of satisfaction.

His eyes held a hint of anticipation, as if he could already see the future power of the Heavenly Court.

Nezha put away the sand table, walked to Sun Wukong's side, and whispered:
"Great Sage, the simulated storm has ended smoothly, and the experimental data is being processed. I will give a detailed report later."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the training ground, as if deep in thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Although this experiment was successful, we cannot stop here. Further exploration and verification are needed to perfect the art of celestial manipulation."

His tone carried a hint of profound meaning, and his gaze swept over Nezha, Yang Jian, and Taibai Jinxing, his expression unwavering.

Yang Jian, Nezha, and Taibai Jinxing responded in unison:

"As ordered!"

Sun Wukong withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the direction of the Qitian Palace.

His steps were steady, and his silhouette appeared exceptionally tall in the setting sun.

His fingers tapped lightly on the Qiankun Ring at his waist, producing a soft tinkling sound, as if he were pondering his next plan.

On the training ground, the soldiers continued their training in an orderly manner, their figures appearing particularly upright in the setting sun.

Yang Jian stood in the center of the field, his eyes sharp, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

Nezha returned to his studio and began organizing the experimental data, his expression focused and serious.

Sun Wukong walked to the front of the Qitian Palace, looked up at the distant sky, and his eyes revealed a deep light.

Inside the Qitian Hall, a faint scent of sandalwood filled the air, and all was quiet and still.

At this moment, a heavenly soldier came to report:
"Great Sage, Venus requests an audience."

Sun Wukong nodded slowly, signaling the heavenly soldiers to bring him in.

A moment later, Venus entered the main hall with light steps. He stroked his long beard, a respectful smile on his face, but his eyes held a hint of worry.

"Great Sage, the experimental results have been compiled, and General Nezha is waiting for your review."

Taibai Jinxing's voice was soft and slow. He bowed slightly, his gaze fixed on Sun Wukong's solemn face.

Sun Wukong gave a soft "hmm," his tone calm, showing no sign of joy or anger.
"Thank you for your hard work, Venus."

He turned towards the outside of the hall, gesturing for Venus to go first.

Venus nodded slightly and walked slowly towards the outside of the hall, his back slightly hunched.

As the sun set, the light inside the hall gradually dimmed, leaving only Sun Wukong lost in thought in silence.

Upon reaching the outside of the hall, Venus saw Nezha carefully examining the light screen.

The screen was filled with flashing data charts. Nezha frowned, his fingers slid lightly across the screen, his expression focused and serious.

Sun Wukong walked out of the Qitian Palace, the sunlight shining on his golden armor, making it gleam.

His steps were steady, and his gaze was deep as he looked toward the distant training ground, where the bugle calls of the heavenly soldiers' training still echoed.

Venus followed behind him, his long robe fluttering in the wind, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he sensed Sun Wukong's solemn mood.

"Great Sage..."

Venus spoke softly, his tone tinged with concern.

"Although the experiment has ended, the deviations in the data still need to be carefully analyzed, and we must not be careless."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the distance, and said in a low voice:
"Jin Xing is right. Although the deviation in this experiment was not large, every step of the astrological manipulation technique is of great importance and cannot be wrong."

His tone was calm, yet it conveyed an undeniable firmness.

He turned to look at Venus, his eyes filled with deep thought:
"How is Nezha doing?" Taibai Jinxing stroked his long beard, a relieved smile appearing on his face:

"General Nezha is organizing the data. Although he is young, he is always serious about his work, so you can rest assured, Great Sage."

Sun Wukong gave a soft "hmm," a hint of approval in his eyes.

He raised his hand and waved it, a golden light flashed, and a communication talisman appeared in his hand.

He whispered a few words to the talisman, and then a golden light flashed, and the communication talisman transformed into a stream of light, heading straight for Nezha's studio.

A moment later, Nezha's figure strode over from a distance. He held a thick scroll in his hands, his expression serious, but his eyes couldn't hide the light of excitement.

"Great Sage..."

He walked up to Sun Wukong, bowed slightly, and spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"The experimental data has been compiled, but the final results of the simulated stellar energy storm have slight deviations from expectations."

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, reached out and took the scroll, his eyes quickly scanning the data on it.

His gaze grew increasingly serious, and his fingers lightly traced the scroll, as if searching for crucial information.

"Although the deviation is small, but..."

He pondered for a moment, then looked up at Nezha.

Where do you think the problem lies?

Nezha took a deep breath, a thoughtful look on his face:

"Based on my analysis, it may be that the simulation accuracy of the astrological sand table is not high enough, or that our understanding of the fluctuations of astral energy is still insufficient."

After he finished speaking, his eyes showed a hint of self-reproach, but even more so, a firm resolve:
"Great Sage, I need to further improve the sand table to achieve higher accuracy."

Sun Wukong nodded, a hint of encouragement in his eyes:
"Okay, I'll leave this to you. Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll give you my full support."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Nezha's eyes, and he nodded solemnly in response:

"I will definitely complete the improvements as soon as possible."

Sun Wukong then turned to Taibai Jinxing, his tone calm and steady:

"Venus, continue to coordinate celestial resources to support long-term observation and research. At the same time, arrange for personnel to conduct in-depth analysis of the data from this experiment; no detail should be overlooked."

Venus smiled slightly, his expression revealing composure and confidence:
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this old minister will do his utmost to ensure everything proceeds smoothly."

Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to the distant training ground, his expression thoughtful.
Where is Yang Jian?

"Great Sage, I'm here."

Yang Jian's voice came from behind. He strode closer, clad in silver armor, his eyes blazing.

"I have made minor adjustments to the training program for the Heavenly Soldiers as required, and I am now recording their reaction data under different energy fluctuations in detail."

Sun Wukong turned his head and looked at Yang Jian, a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Well done. The training program must be adjusted based on experimental data to ensure that the Heavenly Soldiers' combat capabilities remain at their best under any circumstances."

Yang Jian nodded.

"In this experiment, Tianbing's performance had some shortcomings, but also many highlights. I will further optimize the training program based on their feedback."

Sun Wukong nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes:
"Very good. Although this experiment has been completed, our mission has only just begun. The improvement of the astrological manipulation technique is a long and arduous task, and everyone must do their best."

Nezha, Yang Jian, and Taibai Jinxing responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Sun Wukong turned and looked at the Qitian Palace, his expression revealing deep thought and determination.

He stepped into the hall, where ancient books and scrolls were piled on the table, and a faint sandalwood scent filled the air.

He sat back down at his desk, his gaze falling on the scroll of experimental data in his hand, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he were still pondering something.

A moment later, he picked up his pen and wrote a line on the scroll:

"The art of astrological manipulation is constantly being refined."

His brushstrokes are vigorous and powerful, each stroke conveying a firm belief.

After finishing writing, he gently blew on the ink and nodded in satisfaction.

He picked up the communication talisman, whispered a few words to it, and then a golden light flashed, and the talisman transformed into a stream of light, heading straight for Yang Jian, Nezha, and Taibai Jinxing.

"Phase three of the experiments, commence!"

Sun Wukong's voice came through the communication talisman, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable firmness.

Outside the Qitian Palace, on the training ground, the sounds of the heavenly soldiers training continued to rise and fall.

Nezha strode towards his studio, his fingers gently moving across the sand table, his expression focused and serious.

Yang Jian stood in the center of the training ground, holding a silver spear, his eyes blazing, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

Venus, meanwhile, was shuttling between various departments of the Heavenly Court, coordinating the subsequent allocation of resources.

Sun Wukong stood at the entrance of the Qitian Palace, his gaze sweeping over the busy crowd, a slight smile of satisfaction appearing on his lips.

He knew that this exploration of astrological manipulation techniques had only just begun.

"In the third phase, we cannot afford to be complacent in the slightest."

He muttered to himself, a profound light shining in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, the air inside the Qitian Palace was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood and wood, as if adding a sense of solemnity and grandeur to the upcoming exploration of the stars.

After returning to his desk, Sun Wukong picked up a report on the training of the heavenly soldiers and carefully read it, his fingertips lightly tracing the fine characters on the scroll, his brows furrowing slightly.

He noticed several abnormal fluctuations in the data, paused to ponder for a moment, picked up his pen and wrote a few notes on the edge of the report, then put down his pen and looked up outside the hall.

Sun Wukong stood up, walked to the bookshelves in the hall, and gently ran his fingers over the rows of ancient books, finally stopping on a thick classic.

He took the book down, turned the yellowed pages, and began to read intently.

After a moment, he nodded slightly, as if he had understood something, and then returned to his desk, picked up his pen and wrote a few new annotations on the paper.

He compiled the written content into a booklet, then took out several communication talismans and handed them to Yang Jian, Nezha, and Taibai Jinxing respectively.

The talisman shimmered with golden light, clearly indicating that a new command had been transmitted.

Upon receiving the message talisman, Yang Jian immediately summoned the generals of the Heavenly Army.

He stood in the center of the training ground, holding a silver spear, his eyes piercing, his voice steady and powerful:
"Gentlemen, the third phase of the experimental plan has been issued, and we need to adjust our training accordingly. Today's training focus is on adapting to fluctuations in astral energy. Everyone must give it their all!"

The heavenly soldiers responded in unison, lined up neatly, and began a new round of training.

Meanwhile, Nezha was in his studio, carefully examining the new plan sent by Sun Wukong.

He gently stroked the edge of the astronomical sand table, his brows furrowing slightly, and a glint of inspiration flashed in his eyes after a moment.

He whispered to himself:
"I see. The core of celestial energy fluctuations lies in the balanced distribution of energy. By adjusting the central control of the sand table, we can more accurately simulate various celestial changes."
