Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 549

On the training ground, Yang Jian held a silver spear, his piercing gaze sweeping over the assembled heavenly soldiers.

His voice was deep and powerful, echoing throughout the venue:
"Attention everyone! This drill is of utmost importance; we must give it our all!"

The heavenly soldiers responded in unison, their voices echoing through the air:

"As ordered!"

Meanwhile, Nezha was standing beside the sand table, his fingers flying across the edge of the sand table, and the trajectory of the stars gradually became more complex with his movements.

His eyes were focused, and beads of sweat were visible on his forehead, clearly indicating that he was completely absorbed in simulating the changes in the stars.

Venus stood to the side, holding a jade slip, occasionally recording the data on the sand table, his eyes filled with a hint of approval and expectation.

As the exercise officially began, the weather above the training ground suddenly changed, with dark clouds gathering and lightning flashing.

Yang Jian stood in the center of the arena, his silver spear held horizontally, directing the heavenly soldiers' actions.

His voice was strong and clear:

"All celestial soldiers, proceed according to the plan, and pay attention to the stability of the spiritual energy barrier!"

The celestial soldiers moved swiftly, their spiritual energy coalescing around them to form barriers that resisted the simulated celestial fluctuations.

Nezha's hands moved rapidly across the sand table, and the starlight changed constantly with his movements.

His brow furrowed at times and at others, clearly dealing with the complex changes in the simulation.

Venus whispered to Nezha from time to time, exchanging data to ensure that every step was accurate.

Just as the exercise reached a critical stage, the sand table suddenly emitted a slight humming sound.

Nezha's brows furrowed instantly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He quickly adjusted his finger movements, trying to stabilize the changes in the sand table, but the fluctuations in the celestial phenomena became increasingly violent.

Venus also noticed the abnormality, and a hint of tension appeared in his eyes:
"Nezha, the spiritual energy fluctuations on the sand table seem to be exceeding expectations. Should we suspend the exercise?"

Nezha shook his head, his tone firm:
"No need, I can control it."

His fingers flew across the sand table, trying to balance the changing celestial configurations.

However, the spiritual energy fluctuations of the sand table grew stronger and stronger, and the entire sand table seemed to be under tremendous pressure, emitting slight tremors.

Yang Jian also noticed the unusual situation and quickly gave an order:
"All celestial soldiers, strengthen the spiritual energy barrier and be on guard!"

The celestial soldiers responded immediately, and the light of the spiritual energy barrier intensified, resisting the increasingly powerful stellar fluctuations.

Just as the sand table was about to get out of control, a resolute look flashed in Nezha's eyes.

With a sudden flick of his finger, the trajectories of the stars on the sand table abruptly changed, and the fluctuations in spiritual energy gradually subsided.

The shaking of the sand table stopped, and it resumed stable operation.

Nezha let out a long sigh of relief, turned to look at Taibai Jinxing, and looked at him with a hint of weariness in his eyes:
"The sand table is stable."

Venus nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Nezha, your control skills are truly admirable."

Nezha smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of humility:
"It was just an emergency response, and we have to thank the new material of the sand table for that."

The drill continued and was successfully completed.

Yang Jian walked to Nezha's side, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke with a hint of appreciation in his tone:
"Nezha, we owe you a lot this time, otherwise the drill might have failed."

Nezha nodded, a hint of determination in his eyes:
"This is our joint effort."

Sun Wukong stood on the high platform, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the arena, his brows slightly furrowed.

His fingers tapped lightly on the Qiankun Ring at his waist, his expression revealing a hint of deep thought.

He turned to look at Venus beside him and said in a low voice:
"Venus, although the exercise was successful, the sand table's load capacity still seems limited. We need to optimize it further."

Venus nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of agreement:
“What the Great Sage said is true. Although the problem of material has been solved with Xuan Tian Xing Sha, the load-bearing capacity of the sand table still needs to be improved.”

Sun Wukong nodded, his gaze deep:

"Let's gather everyone together and discuss a new strategy."

A moment later, everyone gathered in the Qitian Hall.

Sun Wukong sat in the main seat, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

His voice was steady and powerful:

"Gentlemen, although this exercise was successful, the sand table's load capacity has revealed new problems. We need to further optimize the sand table and adjust the training program for the celestial soldiers. Please feel free to speak your minds."

Nezha stood up, his eyes fixed intently on Sun Wukong:

“Great Sage, the materials of the sand table are impeccable, but its structural design may have limitations. I suggest redesigning the core array patterns of the sand table to enhance its spiritual energy carrying capacity.”

Sun Wukong nodded slightly:
“Very good, Nezha, get started on the preparations. If you need anything, just apply for resources directly from Venus.”

Yang Jian also stood up, his tone calm and steady:
“Great Sage, the heavenly soldiers have shown some adaptability in the drills, but they are still insufficient when dealing with extreme changes in celestial phenomena. I suggest increasing the simulation training of high-intensity spiritual energy fluctuations to improve their combat capabilities.”

Sun Wukong nodded:
"Yang Jian, you are fully responsible for the training of the heavenly soldiers. Make sure they adapt to the new challenges in the shortest possible time."

Venus stroked his long beard, his tone calm:

"Great Sage, your old minister will provide full support in resource allocation and logistical support to ensure the smooth progress of the optimization work."

Sun Wukong smiled slightly, a hint of approval in his eyes.

After the discussion, everyone left the Qitian Palace and went about their own business.

Outside the palace, the autumn wind rustled, swirling up fallen leaves that drifted down.

Sun Wukong stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the darkening sky, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

He slowly turned around and walked towards his bedroom.

Inside the palace, various star charts and astrological ritual implements were displayed, and a faint sandalwood fragrance permeated the air.

Sun Wukong walked to the desk, picked up a wolf-hair brush, circled a small area on the star chart, and frowned deeply.

The next morning, as the sun rose, it cast golden rays of light.

Sun Wukong summoned Yang Jian, Nezha, Taibai Jinxing, and several celestial craftsmen responsible for maintaining the sand table to hold a meeting in the Qitian Hall.

"During yesterday's drill, I discovered a crucial problem..."

Sun Wukong's voice was deep and powerful as he pointed to the sand table model on the table.

"This isn't a problem with the sand table's load-bearing capacity, but rather the accuracy of the celestial simulation. In extreme cases, even minute deviations can accumulate rapidly, eventually causing the sand table to operate beyond its capacity. We need more accurate celestial data and more precise calculation methods." As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, the hall fell into a brief silence, with everyone turning their gaze to him, awaiting his further instructions.

His fingers tapped lightly on the desk, producing a subtle yet rhythmic sound, and his eyes held a thoughtful expression.

Nezha stepped forward first, his silver armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight, his tone tinged with urgency:

“Great Sage, if there are problems with the accuracy of the star simulation, then the core calculation module of the sand table may need to be redesigned. I suggest that we start improving the calculation module immediately to ensure that the simulation results completely match the actual star phenomena.”

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Nezha, your suggestion is good. You will be in full charge of this matter and must complete the improvement of the computing module within three days."

Nezha nodded solemnly, a resolute glint in his eyes:
"Rest assured, Great Sage, I will do my utmost and will not let you down."

After saying that, he turned around and quickly left the Qitian Palace, his steps firm and swift, heading straight for the weapon-refining warehouse.

At the same time, Yang Jian stepped forward, holding a silver spear, his eyes fixed intently on Sun Wukong:
“Great Sage, if the accuracy of the celestial simulation improves, the training program for the celestial soldiers will also need to be adjusted accordingly. I suggest that the training content be optimized immediately to ensure that the celestial soldiers can cope with more complex celestial changes.”

Sun Wukong nodded, his tone calm:

"Yang Jian, this matter is entrusted to you. Make sure the heavenly soldiers adapt to the new training program as quickly as possible."

Yang Jian bowed slightly, his voice firm and powerful:
"Don't worry, Great Sage, I'll make the arrangements right away."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the Qitian Hall. The silver spear in his hand paused slightly, making a soft metallic clanging sound, and his steps were steady and powerful.

Venus stood to one side, holding a jade slip, his long robe fluttering in the wind, his gaze carrying a hint of peace.
“Great Sage, if we want to improve the accuracy of the star simulation, I suggest that we collect more accurate star data and coordinate resources from all parties to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment.”

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Venus, you are in full charge of this matter. Make sure to collect the latest astrological data as quickly as possible and coordinate resources from all parties."

Venus nodded respectfully, his tone carrying a hint of composure:
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this old minister will take care of it immediately."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and quickly left the Qitian Palace. His long robe fluttered in the wind, and although his steps were fast, he did not appear flustered.

Three days later——

Nezha returned to the Qitian Palace with the newly improved sand table calculation module. Although he looked tired, his eyes were filled with excitement.

He strode up to Sun Wukong, his voice tinged with excitement:
"Great Sage, the new computing module is complete. Please take a look."

Sun Wukong took the jade slip, carefully examined the data on it, and gently ran his fingertip across the light screen, sensing the changes within.

After a moment, he nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his voice:
"Very good, the improvement to the calculation module is very successful, and the accuracy of the star simulation has increased by nearly 50%."

Nezha smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of accomplishment:
"It is my duty to share the burdens of the Great Sage."

At the same time, Yang Jian also led the heavenly soldiers into the Qitian Palace with the results of their training, a hint of pride on his face:
“Great Sage, the training of the heavenly soldiers has been remarkably effective, especially in dealing with complex celestial phenomena. Their reaction speed and adaptability have been significantly improved.”

Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction, a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Yang Jian, you did a great job."

Venus also entered the hall at the opportune moment, holding a jade slip, his tone calm:
"Great Sage, the latest celestial data has been collected, and resources have been allocated. We are ready to proceed with the next phase of the experiment at any time."

Sun Wukong scanned the crowd, his gaze sharp and his tone resolute:
"Now that everything is ready, let's proceed with the final test immediately."

The crowd responded in unison:

"As ordered!"

The final test took place on the training ground. Amidst the rising winds, dark clouds, and thunder and lightning, the practice of celestial manipulation officially began.

Nezha stood beside the sand table, his fingers flying across the stars, simulating complex celestial phenomena.

Yang Jian stood in the center of the arena, holding a silver spear, his eyes fixed intently on the performance of the heavenly soldiers.

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

The exercise lasted for two hours. As the light of the last star went out, the storm over the training ground gradually subsided.

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 final test has been successfully completed, and the simulation results perfectly match the expectations!"

Yang Jian also stepped forward, his tone tinged with pride:
"The heavenly soldiers performed exceptionally well, with their reaction speed and teamwork meeting expectations."

Venus nodded and added:
"There were no problems with resource allocation and data collection, and the experiment was successfully completed."

Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his tone carrying a deeper meaning:
"The success of this exercise proves that our efforts have not been in vain. The research on astrological manipulation has officially entered a new stage."

The crowd responded in unison, their eyes filled with unwavering determination and anticipation.

Sun Wukong turned and looked out the window of the Qitian Palace, gazing intently at the distant starry sky. A thoughtful smile appeared on his lips.

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

Sun Wukong withdrew his gaze, turned to face the crowd, his expression remained calm, but the smile on his lips deepened.

"In the next phase, we will explore deeper the mysteries of the stars, with the goal of..."

He paused, looked around at everyone, his gaze sweeping over Nezha, Yang Jian, and Taibai Jinxing in turn, his voice deep and powerful.

"To predict and effectively respond to more intense fluctuations in cosmic energy."

Nezha rubbed his hands together excitedly, his eyes sparkling:

"Great Sage, how exactly should we proceed?"

As he spoke, he unconsciously tapped the edge of the sand table with his fingers, making a soft tapping sound.

On the training ground, the remaining dark clouds were slowly dissipating, revealing the long-awaited sunshine that shone on everyone.

Yang Jian's gaze was deep, and his tone was calm:
"I believe we need more powerful computing capabilities and more sophisticated observation tools to cope with more complex celestial phenomena. The training of the celestial soldiers also needs to be strengthened; their reactions and coordination must be more seamless in the face of stronger energy fluctuations."

He straightened his chest, and the silver spear reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight.

After listening to Yang Jian's analysis, Sun Wukong tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

He pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, then raised his hand to signal to the guards.

"Summon the Chief Craftsman."

The guard obeyed and left. A moment later, the Chief Craftsman arrived hastily and respectfully bowed, saying:
"What are your orders, Great Sage?"

Sun Wukong said in a deep voice:

"We must immediately begin designing a new observation instrument with precision and data processing capabilities far exceeding those of existing equipment, and complete it in the shortest possible time."

The chief craftsman's expression hardened, and he nodded solemnly:

"Understood, I will immediately gather manpower and push forward with all my might."

After the chief craftsman left, Sun Wukong turned to look at Nezha, his tone somewhat solemn:

"Nezha, you are responsible for improving the calculation module of the sand table based on the design plan of the new magic weapon, and you must ensure that the sand table can adapt to higher intensity star simulation."
