Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

With the divine mech recovered, everyone has basically no more things to deal with in the near future.

The Enlightenment Mountain should still be accessible by opening up the spacetime interlayer, but considering the vortex zone's rejection of divine mechs and the rampage of the Supreme Being Puying's avatar within it, the group decided against entering again after much deliberation.

Let's just let Hengsuoer challenge the Enlightenment Mountain for a while.

If Hengsor were unlucky and were corrupted by other avatars of the Supreme Being of Universal Response, the situation would actually be much simpler.

These two formidable enemies cannot be left unattended indefinitely.

However, since everyone's current strength is insufficient to defeat the demigod-level avatar of the Supreme Being of the Pu Ying, they can only temporarily put the entrance aside and deal with it later.

After that comes the problem of Lu Yunsheng and the other two ancient humans suffering from amnesia, which can only be solved by waiting for 'Flame's' return.

Apart from Tan Yaozu, who needs to meet up with Fang Hai, who is carrying out the drifting plan, everyone else has gone back to recuperate for the time being.

Li Yi also had a rare period of free time, which allowed him to train on his own.

In the past few days, he used his authority to apply for a divine mech from the God of Destiny sequence for Li Lulu to be matched.

The result was astonishing: all the Destiny God sequence mechs in the lunar mech warehouse were successfully matched and activated.

However, due to insufficient physical constitution, those divine mechs of C-rank and above could not be activated, which is normal.

It seems that although Li Lulu has amazing talent, she also follows common sense.

Finally, she chose the D-class Thread-Tracing Mech as her current main mech and joined the Lunar Fortress Divine Mech Standby Team for mech pilot training.

Another piece of news is that Chen Qiongzhi has obtained the qualification to patrol the main ship with divine power.

Since Li Yi's authority has now reached the top level of the Star Guardian Federation, Chen Qiongzhi's application to serve as the captain and deputy captain of a new main ship with Li Yi is not difficult at all.

Zhao He, who was in charge of approving this matter, even made a special call to Li Yi to confirm Li Yi's opinion.

When Li Yi mentioned that he hadn't been converted into a ship yet, Zhao He was stunned for a long time.

After all, everyone already knew about Li Yi's method of absorbing lightning to maintain his life force during his time at the Enlightenment Mountain.

"You're quite something, kid. You actually managed to learn the skill of absorbing free energy on your own before you even completed the ship transformation."

"I was lucky, mainly because I happened to have made some progress in those few days."

"You've done more than just a little; you've practically created an entirely new skill system."

Zhao He sighed:
"This thing is derived from your body tempering method, right? I'm planning to conduct a batch of experiments on Earth, selecting a group of non-mecha army members with low divine mecha equivalence but strong fighting spirit to major in your body tempering method. What do you think?"

"Sure, I'd like to see how effective it is for ordinary people to practice body-tempering techniques. But who would be most suitable to perform the initial forging?"

Li Yi naturally supported this experiment.

After all, the more experimental data the better, as it would help him refine his body-strengthening method.

However, the biggest problem with the current body-strengthening method also lies with him.

Currently, apart from him, no human being has yet been able to comprehend micro-level fighting techniques.

Therefore, for the time being, only he can achieve a similar micro-forging effect.

"Don't worry, Duanmu has already expedited the completion of this part of the equipment, and some of it can be put into use. Although the effect is far from that of your own forging, it is enough for initial testing. We can optimize this part of the forging equipment after we conquer the Stellar Clan and take over the Nano Relics."

Zhao He explained.

Li Yi understood; it seemed that while they were engrossed in the Enlightenment Mountain, the others were also steadily advancing their plans.

"Okay, then you can handle this part. I will check the experimental data regularly and contact you if there are any problems."

With his elevated status, Li Yi became much more casual in his conversations with Zhao He and other high-ranking Federation officials. After a brief exchange, Li Yi also confirmed his next steps after conquering the Stellar Clan.

That is to establish a cruiser main ship with Chen Qiongzhi's side to ensure the stability of the border situation after conquering the Scorching Starfield.

As for the recruitment and selection of personnel, Li Yi has delegated the authority to Chen Qiongzhi.

He needs to hurry up and build up his strength in order to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Over the past few days, he has also done a summary, taking stock of all the skills, moves, and treasures he currently possesses, as well as the key areas for future improvement.

Regarding the soul, the previous method of purifying redundant memories and improving the efficiency of the soul in absorbing memory fragments has remained unchanged.

However, after he began to learn the art of planting the void, he gained a secret method to refine his main consciousness.

The combination of the two is also beneficial for enhancing the strength of the soul.

The primary goal for the next few days is to accelerate the absorption of memory fragments from the spacetime interlayer and quickly bring the remaining soul quantity back to around 150.

Secondly, it involves absorbing and organizing more knowledge about space and time.

Ever since Qin Longchuan explained the importance of time-space abilities, he has taken it to heart.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but ever since he mastered the Prison Suppression Divine Nature and developed the skills of Suppression Membrane and Space Compression, he felt that his mental capacity had been increasing over the past two days.

This growth rate is even faster than the growth of the 2.0 brain-boosting technique, which is outrageous.

"Could it be that after I mastered spacetime abilities, the universe's spacetime burden on me is weakening? That's why my mental capacity is showing a surge?"

Li Yi couldn't understand the reason.

Although his current spacetime manipulation ability is stronger than that of Qin Longchuan, who is at the demigod level, he doesn't have the enhancement of a demigod-level transformation in terms of perception, so he can't sense anything yet.

Unable to figure it out, he stopped thinking about it for the time being and quietly enjoyed the process of the surge.

Regarding divine genes, there are currently no obstacles to the three-element fusion. We are just waiting for the day when we have enough of the target 12 divine genes to directly perform the three-element fusion and advance to the Heavenly Rank.

Li Yi was looking forward to that day, wondering what kind of transformation it would bring him.

Regarding the physical body, the body-forging methods that have been developed so far are the Tiangang Method, which is based on Chen Qiongzhi's special physique; the Haiwang Transformation Method, which is based on Lu Yunsheng; the Xielu Body-Forging Method, which is based on Tan Yaozu; and the Lei Forging Method, which is based on Tan and He. There are a total of four versions.

Currently, the physical enhancement brought by the Thunder Forging Technique is the greatest, allowing him to initially cultivate half of the Thunder God's Body.

Thor's body is very strong, allowing Li Yi to move at near the speed of light instantly.

If one were to master it completely, one could probably transform into lightning at any time and roam freely.

Furthermore, by combining this with spacetime abilities, he might be able to develop short-range faster-than-light teleportation skills, granting him unparalleled combat mobility.

His fighting skills, needless to say, have always been his forte.

"Upon careful consideration, I realized I've become quite strong."

Li Yi reflected on the situation and felt a mix of emotions.

I never imagined that I would become so much stronger in just over a month since the end of the Stellar Clan War.

"However, our strengths in combination skills and total divinity are still somewhat lacking."

"Furthermore, there should be room for exploration in body tempering techniques after my combat skills reach the Divine Intent Realm."

"There's no way to control the total amount of divinity for now; we can only grind it down."

"With the great battle approaching, I should start with the Divine Will level of subtle forging, and try to optimize my body-tempering method to further improve my physical body." (End of Chapter)
