Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The changes on Earth are ongoing.

Li Yi hovered in outer space, observing continuously and gaining profound insights. He didn't even realize how quickly time was passing.

It felt like just two weeks had passed in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, a divine mech slowly flew over from a distance.

It is entirely white, with a slender fuselage, and its flames are hidden in the vacuum.

It was the micro-dust mecha woven by Chen Qiong.

"Old Chen, what brings you here?"

Li Yi had naturally seen it long ago.

Chen Qiongzhi didn't mind Li Yi's form of address and responded with a smile through the divine mecha:

"Let me ask you, is the agreement between you and me still valid?"

"After all, although the Stellar Race has been wiped out, there are still many remnants wandering around the entire Scorching Starfield, which also need to be dealt with."

"Although you are now a force to be reckoned with in the universe and it seems you no longer need to transform into a ship to strengthen yourself, I still think I should ask you."

The news of Li Yi's breakthrough, his killing of Jiu Yu, and his life-stripping and shadow-controlling feats had long been spread throughout the human world, a truly inspiring event.

While ordinary people may not understand what a Dominator level means, it doesn't stop them from imagining a heroic story of a human genius who resists powerful ancient resurrected beings, slays enemies, and makes amazing contributions to safeguarding peace.

Chen Qiongzhi was, after all, a mid-stage Heavenly Realm expert, whose strength was approaching that of a high-stage expert.

Although this strength is no longer keeping up with the current rapidly improving version.

But given her abilities, she is still useful within the human realm.

Moreover, she is already quite talented, and the probability of her becoming a top expert in the future is not low.

With the various body-strengthening methods that are becoming increasingly popular among humans, it is not impossible to break through to the level of demigod or even quasi-god.

Moreover, given her relationship with Li Yi, Li Yi would certainly not allow Chen Qiongzhi to lack opportunities for breakthroughs.

In his early years, Chen Qiongzhi gave him a lot of extra help.

Now that we have the means, giving back to her and helping her get promoted is just a matter of lifting a finger.

However, Chen Qiongzhi's proposal to ship-based aircraft also sparked an idea in Li Yi.

He stroked his chin and said:
"Since it's you, Lao Chen, who personally invited me, I absolutely have to go. As for any agreements, I certainly won't break them. Don't worry, Lao Chen."

"Speaking of which, is the main ship finished yet?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiongzhi smiled slightly.

"It's built. The main body is the Tianheng ship, an early super starship derived from the Tianheng ruins of the Third Era. One of the reasons we started the war with the Stellar Race and the Slaughter Race was to compete for this super starship."

"The Tianheng warship?"

Li Yi seemed to be thinking something and said:

"I have a vague recollection. I remember this was a large flagship that was no less impressive in size than the Kunlun Ship, right?"

"Yes, because you would be the captain, so Chief of Staff Lin directly allocated this ship and asked the engineers to prioritize the construction of the Tianheng ship."

"That sounds good."

He nodded slightly.

It's equivalent to the Kunlun ship in scale, and roughly the size of a Dominator-level divine mech.

No, it should be said that it will be much stronger.

After all, the Yaochi ship from which he was born had 18 circular compartments, which together stretched for tens of kilometers and were seven or eight kilometers high.

In summary, although its structure and strength are far inferior to those of the divine mechs.

Judging by scale alone, the Kunlun ship is undoubtedly more terrifying than the Dominator-class divine mech.

Of course, scale aside, excluding the numerous external attachments attached to the human-powered vehicles, the internal power source is likely inferior to that of a Dominator-class divine mech. Starships are designed as mobile fortresses in space, so the skill requirements for their pilots are naturally far less than those for pilots of Dominator-class divine mechs.

All it takes is a powerful expert at the mid-level of the Celestial Realm, piloting a Celestial Realm mech as the core of the system, to drive the main ship's internal power and achieve interstellar travel and warp jumps.

Thinking about this, Li Yi couldn't help but become a little interested.

If the internal structure of this starship is similar to that of a divine mech.

Therefore, in the absence of a suitable divine mech, building another starship seems like a good option.

Of course, this was an idea that came from his divergent thinking.

Whether it will work or not depends on the actual operation of the machine.

However, the internal power of a starship requires a mech of at least the mid-level Celestial Realm to operate, which is equivalent to requiring a near-demigod powerhouse to pilot it.

Thinking about it carefully, the power system of this starship is probably quite powerful.

The power required to carry so much matter and achieve a jump is far more difficult than that required for a purely divine mech.

"You can give it a try."

"I trained my ship transformation myself, but I can also see what happens when I pilot a starship with my own body instead of a divine mech."

"If we're lucky enough to figure out the internal mechanisms, it wouldn't be bad if humanity could build its own starships in the future."

"Besides, it's time to give myself a short break."

"I've been in seclusion lately, absorbing fragments of memories, which makes it easy to confuse myself."

"Although my main consciousness has been using the Void Seed Technique to strengthen and refine it, the strength should be quite good."

"But relaxing appropriately is also a way to build up momentum for jumping upwards."

Thinking of this, Li Yi asked:
"Old Chen, when is the starship scheduled to set sail?"

Chen Qiongzhi smiled and said:
"It mainly depends on when you, the captain, are available. Anyway, we've basically got all the manpower and internal organization sorted out. With you, the captain who will shake the universe, on our side, we can probably roam freely in any star system, let alone the Scorching Star Region."

Li Yi laughed:

"The tide of revival is coming soon, and things won't be so simple then. However, piloting a starship might have other uses for me, so I should give it a try."

"Anyway, you can go into seclusion anywhere... How about this, Lao Chen, the transformation of this Earth is estimated to be over in about half a month. If you have time, you can stay."

"I'll also let you try out the forging method I recently summarized."

"Given your unique constitution, the effects should be quite significant."

"I'd also like to use your constitution to double-check some details. How about it?"

When Chen Qiongzhi heard that she was to stay, her eyes lit up, and she smiled:
“Okay, whatever. You’re my captain, and I’m your vice-captain. You decide where you want to go, and we’ll go.”

"As for forging, just do what you think is best, just don't do it like last time."

Li Yi laughed:

"Don't worry, Lao Chen, these are minor issues."

"By the way, the transformation of this Earth is extraordinary. You can use the detection system to record more details; you might find something unexpected later."

Chen Qiongzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

……

On the other side, the lunar fortress.

A graceful figure suddenly leaped over.

It is flame.

Her eyes were deep and unfathomable, her gaze transcending time and space, landing on the other side of Earth.

Now, she is both the Supreme Dao Wisdom and the Quasi-God of Spirit Flame.

"It's time to have a talk." (End of Chapter)
