Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 545

Nezha's fingers gently caressed the edge of the star chart, his eyes gradually becoming focused and bright.

He turned and walked to the workbench, took out a slender carving knife, and gently traced the tip across the sand table, leaving a faint golden mark.

The stars on the sand table trembled slightly with his movements, as if responding to his control.

"The Great Sage's annotations really hit the nail on the head."

Nezha murmured to himself, his carving knife moving swiftly as he carved several complex runes at the center of the sand table.

The moment the runes took shape, the entire sand table trembled slightly, the trajectory of the stars became smoother, and the distribution of energy became more balanced.

He took a step back, nodded in satisfaction, and then flicked his finger lightly on the sand table. The stars on the sand table instantly burst into a dazzling light, as if the operation of the entire universe was displayed in his hands.

A hint of excitement flashed in Nezha's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, clearly very satisfied with the result of this improvement.

"Next, it's time for verification."

He muttered to himself, then turned and walked towards the communication talisman. With a light swipe of his finger, the simulation data of the sand table was instantly transmitted.

At the same time, Yang Jian stood in the center of the training ground, holding a silver spear, his eyes fixed intently on the heavenly soldiers who were training.

He frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with the performance of the heavenly soldiers.

He strode towards a celestial soldier, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke with a hint of sternness:
"Your movements aren't fast enough. Practice ten more times!"

The heavenly soldier immediately straightened his back and loudly replied:
"Yes, General!"

Immediately, the heavenly soldiers' movements became more synchronized and powerful, and the atmosphere on the entire training ground became increasingly tense.

Yang Jian nodded slightly, turned and walked to the edge of the training ground, his gaze sweeping over every corner of the field.

He raised his hand and waved it, and several details from the training plan instantly appeared in his mind.

He whispered to himself:
"The Great Sage's annotations are indeed accurate. It seems I need to adjust my training intensity."

He then turned and walked toward his deputy, his tone calm and steady:

"Pass on my order: increase today's training intensity by 30% to ensure the celestial soldiers adapt to the higher energy fluctuations."

The deputy general accepted the order and left, while Yang Jian remained standing in the center of the field, his eyes sharp, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

At this moment, Venus was busy in the Heavenly Court's Resource Department, holding a jade slip, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was pondering something.

He approached a celestial soldier, his tone tinged with urgency:

"How are the spirit stone reserves? Are they sufficient to support the upcoming experiments?"

The heavenly soldier answered respectfully:
"Reporting to Lord Venus, our spirit stone reserves are sufficient to meet the needs of our upcoming experiments."

Venus nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards another celestial soldier, his tone carrying an undeniable air:
"Immediately gather a batch of high-grade spirit stones and send them to the training ground to ensure the energy supply for the protective formation."

The heavenly soldiers accepted the order and departed, while Venus continued to shuttle between various departments of the Heavenly Court, coordinating the resources needed for the experiment.

His steps were steady, his long robe fluttered in the wind, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination.

Sun Wukong was sitting behind the imperial desk in the Qitian Hall, intently reviewing an experimental plan.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a soft sound, as if he were thinking about something.

A moment later, he picked up his pen and wrote a few lines of annotations on the plan, then put the pen down and turned his gaze to the training ground outside the window.

"The third phase of the experiment cannot have any oversights."

He muttered to himself, a hint of determination in his eyes.

He stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the vast scenery of the heavens, his expression revealing anticipation for the future.

Inside the Qitian Hall, the air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood and the gentle fragrance of wood.

Sun Wukong's figure appeared exceptionally tall in the setting sun. He gently tapped the Qiankun Ring at his waist, producing a soft tinkling sound, as if he were pondering his next plan.

A moment later, he turned back to his desk, picked up a document, and quickly scanned its contents.

He nodded slightly, then picked up a pen and signed his name on the document.

"The third phase of the experiment has officially begun."

He muttered to himself, his voice carrying an undeniable firmness. He slammed the file heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.

Sun Wukong immediately stood up and walked resolutely toward the center of the Qitian Palace.

His eyes were sharp as he scanned every corner of the hall, his expression revealing utmost focus and vigilance.

"The following experiments are of great importance and cannot be taken lightly."

He muttered to himself, then strode out of the hall.

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

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

"Everything is ready; now we just need to see the results of the experiment."

He spoke in a low voice, a deep light shining in his eyes.

Sun Wukong slowly descended the steps of the Qitian Palace, his steps steady and powerful, each step solid and making a soft yet clear sound.

Behind him stood the Qitian Palace, its vermilion gates appearing exceptionally solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun, the upturned eaves of the palace roof swaying gently in the evening breeze.

On the training ground, swords still flashed and battle cries still resounded.

But unlike before, the celestial soldiers and generals moved more coordinatedly and cooperated more seamlessly, their eyes filled with confidence and determination.

Yang Jian's grueling three-day training regimen has indeed yielded remarkable results.

Sun Wukong walked to the center of the training ground and stopped.

He did not interrupt the heavenly soldiers' training, but observed them quietly.

He squinted, carefully observing the details of each heavenly soldier's movements, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's.

When a celestial soldier made a minor mistake during the drill, Sun Wukong immediately noticed it and gently shook his head.

This subtle movement went unnoticed by the heavenly soldiers, who remained engrossed in their intense training.

The afterglow of the sunset bathed the training ground in a golden-red hue, reflecting the sweat-drenched figures of every soldier.

After the training, the soldiers stood in neat rows, their eyes bright and alert.

Yang Jian stood at the front of the formation and saluted Sun Wukong.

Yang Jian's face showed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were filled with pride and self-satisfaction.

"Great Sage, the training is over, and the heavenly soldiers are ready."

His tone was calm and his voice was loud.

After listening to Yang Jian's report, Sun Wukong's sharp eyes swept over the neatly lined-up heavenly soldiers, he nodded slightly, and then turned and returned to the Qitian Palace.

He sat at his desk, his fingers tapping lightly on the surface, making a soft rhythmic sound, as if he were pondering something.

A moment later, he raised his hand and waved it, a golden light flashed, and a communication talisman appeared in his hand.

"Summon Nezha and Taibai Jinxing to the Qitian Hall for a meeting."

Sun Wukong whispered into the communication talisman, his tone steady and powerful. Soon, Nezha and Taibai Jinxing stepped into the Qitian Palace.

Nezha, clad in silver armor, exuded focus and confidence, his eyes gleaming brightly.

Venus held a jade slip in his hand, his long robe fluttering in the wind, a warm smile on his face, but deep thought hidden in his eyes.

"Great Sage, did you summon us here because of a new discovery?"

Nezha spoke first, his voice tinged with urgency.

He walked to Sun Wukong's side, his gaze falling on the astronomical sand table in front of him, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the sand table.

Sun Wukong nodded, his gaze deep as he looked at the two of them:
"Yang Jian just reported that the simulation results of the celestial sand table in the third phase of the experiment had a slight deviation from the expectations. I suspect that this may be related to the error in the energy release of a certain key star."

Venus stroked his long beard, his brow furrowing slightly:

"Does the Great Sage mean we need to recalibrate the sandbox and optimize the algorithm model?"

"exactly."

Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over Nezha.

"Nezha, you know the most about the astrological sand table. Are you confident in entrusting this matter to you?"

A hint of excitement flashed in Nezha's eyes. He lightly tapped the sand table with his finger, and the stars on the sand table trembled slightly.

"Don't worry, Great Sage, I already have a preliminary idea. We just need to recalibrate the energy release points of the stars and adjust the simulation algorithm of the sand table to reduce the deviation."

Venus nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes:
"General Nezha is indeed meticulous. However, to ensure the accuracy of the data, more celestial observations are needed. This old minister is willing to arrange for the Heavenly Army to assist in collecting more precise celestial data."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong revealed a satisfied smile:

"Alright, Venus, you will personally oversee this matter. Nezha will be responsible for sand table calibration and algorithm optimization, and must complete it in the shortest possible time."

"As ordered!"

Nezha and Taibai Jinxing responded in unison.

Nezha turned and walked towards the sand table, his fingers deftly moving across it, and the trajectories of the stars gradually became more complex as he manipulated them.

His gaze was fixed on the changes in each star, his brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes furrowed, clearly he was intently adjusting the parameters.

Venus took out a jade slip, whispered a few instructions, and then beams of golden light flew out from the jade slip, heading straight for the various observation points of the Heavenly Army.

He stroked his long beard, his gaze sweeping over the busy Nezha, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

A moment later, Nezha let out a long sigh of relief and turned to look at Sun Wukong:

"Great Sage, the sand table has been recalibrated and the algorithm model has been optimized. Next, we only need to make further fine-tuning based on the celestial data collected from Venus."

Sun Wukong nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes:
“Very good. In that case, let’s conduct the fourth phase of the experiment to verify the revised model.”

He had barely finished speaking when he raised his hand and waved it, and the communication talisman reappeared in his hand:

"Yang Jian, the fourth phase of the experiment begins immediately. Make sure to upgrade the protective array to the highest level to ensure absolute safety."

The message talisman transformed into a golden light and flew towards the training ground.

A moment later, Yang Jian's voice came through the communication talisman:
"Great Sage, the protective formation is ready, and the heavenly soldiers are in formation, ready to be deployed at any time."

Sun Wukong's gaze was firm, and his voice was steady:

"start!"

Above the training ground, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and amidst lightning and thunder, the simulation of a celestial energy storm was restarted.

Nezha stood in front of the sand table, his fingers flying across the stars, simulating the increasing intensity of the storm.

Yang Jian stood in the center of the training ground, his eyes fixed intently on the operation of the protective formation.

The heavenly soldiers stood in neat formation, their spiritual energy barriers and array complementing each other to resist the impact of the storm.

Venus, on the other hand, stood on a high place, holding a jade slip, ready to allocate resources to provide support at any time.

His gaze was fixed on every detail of the training ground, his expression revealing caution and composure.

Moments later, the storm subsided, and the simulation experiment was successfully completed.

Nezha let out a long sigh of relief, turned to look at Sun Wukong, and his eyes showed a hint of excitement:
"Great Sage, the simulation results perfectly match the expectations; the deviation has been completely eliminated!"

Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his tone carrying a deeper meaning:
"The success of this experiment proves that our efforts have not been in vain. However, further exploration is still needed to perfect the art of celestial manipulation."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the Sutra Repository of the Qitian Hall.

Inside the library, ancient books are piled up like mountains, and the air is filled with a faint scent of ink.

Sun Wukong's fingers gently traced across the bookshelf, finally landing on a yellowed classic.

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

A moment later, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes:
"Indeed, the core of astrological energy lies in balance and equilibrium. The records in ancient books may provide us with more inspiration."

He slowly closed the book, gazing intently at the starry sky outside the window, a thoughtful smile playing on his lips.

"The future of the Heavenly Court may lie hidden among these vast stars."

He murmured to himself, his voice filled with unwavering determination and anticipation.

After Sun Wukong came out of the Sutra Repository, he instructed his guards to send a message to Nezha and Taibai Jinxing to come to the Qitian Palace.

He flicked his sleeves, his robes stained with the faint scent of ink from the pages of a book, and walked steadily back to the Qitian Palace.

Inside the Qitian Hall, the palace is magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters. Sunlight shines through the colorful glazed tiles on the roof, casting dappled shadows.

Before long, Nezha arrived in a flurry of activity, followed by two heavenly soldiers who carried an exquisite sand table model.

He still had a hint of excitement in his eyes; clearly, the success of the experiment had put him in a great mood.

"Great Sage, I'm ready to recalibrate the sand table!"

Nezha said cheerfully, placing the sand table on the stone table in the center of the Qitian Hall.

Venus arrived shortly afterward, his steps steady and his expression solemn. He still held the jade slip in his hand, which contained the latest celestial data collected by the Heavenly Army.

"Great Sage, the Heavenly Army has completed the compilation of the latest observation data, and the accuracy has improved by 30% compared to before."

Venus respectfully handed the jade slip to Sun Wukong, his tone calm but firm.

Sun Wukong took the jade slip and quickly scanned it with his eyes, which were filled with dense celestial data.

His fingers lightly traced the jade slip, but his brows gradually furrowed, as if he had discovered something amiss.

The surrounding air seemed to become heavier, and the sandalwood incense in the Qitian Palace seemed to become exceptionally strong.

"This data..."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, his tone tinged with doubt.

He raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Nezha, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Nezha, come and take a look. There seems to be a slight deviation in the fluctuation of the stellar energy."
