Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 381 Jiang Cai'er's Vision
Actually, it would be quite convenient for Luo Feifei to come back, but she was worried that coming back would make her break out of that mysterious state.

In cultivation, state of mind is often very important. Once you break free, it often takes much longer to re-enter the state.

Luo Feifei wanted to help Li Xiang as soon as possible, so she seized every opportunity to cultivate.

During this period, some divine-level beasts that roamed the space came to Ceres, wanting to seize the opportunity. However, as soon as they went deep inside, especially when they passed through the inner ocean of Ceres, they were killed by a mysterious will.

This will naturally came from Luo Feifei.

Although she has not yet fully integrated with Ceres, the refining progress has exceeded 80%. In addition, her peak god-level strength far surpasses that of ordinary gods. Moreover, she is a superhuman with both water and ice elements, and has complete control over the ocean inside Ceres.

When those invading divine-level beasts entered the planet's inner ocean, it was precisely when the disparity in strength between the two sides was at its greatest, and Luo Feifei easily succeeded in capturing them.

"Leave these god-level corpses to Xiang-ge." Luo Feifei knew that there were already starships on Earth made from the corpses of god-level alien beasts, which seemed to be Jiang Cai'er's handiwork.

Although she and Jiang Cai'er have never gotten along and have only met face-to-face a few times, she still greatly admires Jiang Cai'er's technological intelligence.

On Earth, given Jiang Cai'er's abilities, she naturally already knew that Luo Feifei had returned.

Although Luo Feifei is at the peak of the God rank and hides it very well, her mother is just an ordinary person who can't help but chat with people. When she does, the robot dog and the like overhear her.

After Luo Feifei returned, she stayed with her mother for a few days. During those days, Luo Feifei's mother went to buy a lot of ingredients almost every day. Based on the types and quantities of ingredients, it could be inferred that someone had come to the house.

There are some ingredients that Luo Feifei's mother never eats normally. She only cooks them for her daughter when she comes home.

However, since Li Xiang didn't say anything, Jiang Cai'er pretended not to know and didn't ask.

“So what if he’s back? Why hide like that… It’s not like he’ll miss out on one more…” Jiang Cai’er shook her head gently. Now that she was the “Empress” and firmly seated in the position of Empress, she didn’t particularly care about such things.

The main issue is her age. It's the fifth year of the apocalypse, and she's already thirty-two, with three children. Besides, Luo Feifei had done good for Earth in the past. She ventured alone into the outer realms and must have endured countless hardships to return alive. Jiang Cai'er sometimes thinks that Luo Feifei's journey was truly remarkable.

As for Li Xiang's other lovers and his illegitimate children in France, she naturally knew about them long ago, given her "overseeing the world" and "all-pervasive" methods.

Those women were all very tactful and didn't cause any trouble, especially Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui, with whom she had a good relationship. When she was in postpartum confinement, these three women had taken good care of her. So Jiang Cai'er "remained calm," and things remained peaceful.

"Am I really going to become a heartless digital life form? How come I'm so indifferent to these things now?" Jiang Cai'er suddenly seemed a little dazed.

But she immediately shook her head, certain that it wouldn't happen.

Throughout history, only digital life forms have evolved to develop human emotions. When have we ever heard of a human being transforming into a digital life form and completely losing human emotions?
"That's absolutely impossible. At most, it'll just mean that human emotions will become a little weaker."

Li Xiang is a hands-off manager, only involved in the overall strategic planning. As rumored on the internet, she is the real mastermind behind the country, with countless things to do every day. Therefore, Jiang Cai'er did not waste too much energy on such matters.

Currently, there are 72 underground cities in China, plus Los Santos, Moon City, Jade Rabbit City, and several other unmanned bases on the moon (with only robots and robotic arms), totaling 288 quantum computer production lines operating 24 hours a day, continuously producing advanced quantum computers.

City 03, as the main base, originally had many production lines, more than other underground cities.

However, while quantum computers are important, controlled nuclear fusion power plants and nuclear fuel cells are also crucial.

These supporting energy devices are not only used in her quantum computer, but also in many other places. Therefore, Jiang Cai'er plans to build more nuclear fusion power plants and expand several nuclear fuel cell production lines.

Meanwhile, several new God-class starships have begun renovations, becoming more sophisticated than the first "Xuanming" and equipped with more advanced detection, stealth, psionic shields, and weaponry.

In terms of individual weapons, an electric pulse gun has also been developed, which is very powerful and allows for the miniaturization of laser weapons while maintaining considerable power.

Laser weapons have existed before, but they were very large and had long charging times, and were usually land-based or ship-based. Now, handheld versions have been developed, which can effectively kill or eliminate alien beasts of levels 6 to 15.

However, this single-soldier version is still insufficient to deal with beasts of level 15 or higher, and needs to be upgraded further.

The new Divine Relic-class starship, like the Xuanming, is equipped with a "shipborne mobile computing center," and each of these "mobile supercomputing centers" consists of 10,000 quantum computers.

Compared to a fixed-location "ground computing center," Jiang Cai'er prefers this "shipborne version" and "computing satellites" that float and disperse in lunar orbit and move at high speeds, as they offer greater security.

……

Deep within the Earth's core, in a unique dark cosmic space, several kings of beasts at the God-King level are still fighting.

Fortunately, this was in the dark universe. If it were in the real Earth's core, with the combat power of these God-King level beings of such enormous size, they would probably have already shattered the Earth into pieces.

Li Xiang launched another sneak attack, disrupting their battle and buying them time.

His strength has greatly improved, and he can now participate in battles with ease. At the same time, he also uses these beast kings at the God King realm as sparring partners.

"Buzz~" He saw an opportunity and unleashed a star pellet weighing a million tons, causing ripples to spread throughout the dark universe, with chaotic matter churning endlessly.

In the past, every time he found an opening, he could strike it down with one blow. Even if he couldn't hurt his opponent, he could still knock them down.

This time, however, they failed.

An accident happened.

This is a trap.

The most powerful Star Rock Tyrannosaurus King was prepared. It swung out the hardest hammer on its tailbone, which was as big as a small mountain, and sent Li Xiang's Star Ball flying with a deafening roar.

Meanwhile, the other Divine King Realm beasts, no longer just watching the spectacle, joined forces to surround him. Clearly, before Li Xiang arrived, these Divine King Realm beasts had reached a tacit agreement: to eliminate him, the outsider, first; as for vying for the Heart of Earth, that was an internal matter for them, the space beasts.

Li Xiang sneered, summoned the remaining eight million-ton star pellets, and charged towards the strange beasts with immense spiritual power, displaying a desperate stance.

He concentrated his firepower on the weakest one, as if he was willing to get injured just to kill this pushover.

The weakest of the God-King realm beasts roared repeatedly, unable to hold back its mental fluctuations: "Are you crazy? Why are you targeting me?"

Li Xiang: "I'm going to hit you! Who told you to be the weakest? I'll kill you first!" As he spoke, he attacked even more fiercely.

The weakest of the Divine King realm beasts was momentarily intimidated and was actually breached by Li Xiang. It vanished from the battlefield in a flash. When Li Xiang emerged, he could no longer hold back and spat out three large mouthfuls of blood, thinking, "I almost died here."

He quickly took out a divine-grade elixir to heal his wounds. However, he did not leave. Instead, he lay in wait more than 3,000 kilometers away from the battlefield, continuing to spy on the battle situation inside.

Although they occasionally went to harass them again, they dared not go too far.

The beasts seemed to have reached a tacit agreement: the others would guard against Li Xiang together, giving the opportunity to the most powerful Star Rock Tyrant Dragon King, which began to fuse with the "Heart of Earth".

However, the "Heart of Earth" was quite resistant, and refining such a large planetary-level planet would naturally take a long time, decades or even centuries.

But even if it only completes the first step, "resonance," its strength will increase greatly, making it even less of a match for it.

Li Xiang was very anxious and tried to launch sneak attacks from time to time, but they were all blocked by the other beast kings. He could only watch helplessly as the Star Rock Tyrant Dragon King swallowed and spat out the "Heart of Earth".

Jiang Cai'er came down to check several times and even used a quantum computer to simulate the situation, but she still couldn't find a good solution. Because, faced with absolute power, all strategies seem useless.

Fortunately, more than four months later, Luo Feifei emerged from seclusion.

Luo Feifei stood gracefully above Ceres, dressed in a snow-white dress. She sensed every movement on Ceres, the entire planet under her control, and a charming smile appeared on her lips.

"Finally, I succeeded. This star that Brother Xiang gave me is amazing." Luo Feifei felt her own power; now, she was the master of this planet. In fact, with a single thought, she could concentrate the atmosphere of Ceres.

Ceres naturally has an atmosphere, though it is quite thin. Through her will, this thin atmosphere can be concentrated in a certain area, and the toxic gases inside are automatically expelled.

If an oxygen factory were to be built here in the future, oxygen could automatically accumulate within the base without the need for protective shields. It could also strengthen gravity in a certain area while making other areas "weak." The wonder of this violates the existing laws of human physics.

Because she is the "rule" on Ceres.

The black mist that shrouded Ceres was also expelled two hundred kilometers into the atmosphere. The planet once again revealed its original appearance.

Frostbloom Sky-Splitting Thrust cleaved through the air, opening a spatial gate. The spacetime anchor between Luo Feifei's brows flickered with spiritual light, stabilizing the spatial gate.

"Advancing to the God King Realm makes opening spatial passages much easier." Luo Feifei chuckled, took a step, and returned to Earth.

She first went to City 03, talked with her mother for a while, and then went to find Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was not there.

Just then, a line of text suddenly appeared on a nearby billboard: "He is underground."

Luo Feifei was startled. She looked around. She had avoided all the cameras and robot dogs, but Jiang Cai'er still found her? This little girl is quite something.

“I mean no harm. He needs your help.” The billboard displayed the message again.

Luo Feifei felt a warmth in her heart, nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and headed deeper into the earth.

In the central office of City 03, Jiang Cai'er sighed softly, "It's a pity I'm not good at this kind of combat, and I can't help either. The difference in strength is too great."

"However, I may not be unable to harass them."

"Now is not the time to dwell on personal grudges. To deal with the God-King level beast, we need everyone to work together."

Jiang Cai'er decided to put aside her grudges and gather all the gods together to help Li Xiang fight for control of Earth.

Only by completely eliminating these few God-King level alien beasts deep within the Earth can Earth truly regain its freedom. At that time, Li Xiang will become the ruler of Earth, allowing her to undertake large-scale construction and launch more "computing satellites" to fill near-Earth orbit. She can then modify the bodies of those God-King level alien beasts, adding "mobile supercomputing centers." Perhaps, within three to five years, she too can become a God-King level being.

Soon, Yao Yao from Los Santos, Zhao Xueqing from Guanghan City, and Lei Xiaohui from Jade Rabbit City all received the message almost simultaneously: "Come to City 03 immediately to discuss important matters."

Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui set off immediately. Yao Yao was easy to talk to; she was on Earth and personally piloted a new Xuan Niao-5 fighter jet, which landed at the 03 City Aerospace Home Port in just a few minutes.

The old off-road vehicles are long gone. Now, for daily commuting, these aerospace fighter jets are the way to go – they're both cool and stylish.

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui traveled together on the Yunjing space carrier, which took longer.

The three women were like sisters, and when they met again, they chatted happily. When they arrived at Jiang Cai'er's conference room and saw the other four women in the room, they were all taken aback.

The four people were Eileen, Chiba Yukio, Asahi, and Yuugiri.

Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui naturally knew about Li Xiang's affairs, but they never talked about it. However, they never expected that Jiang Cai'er would be so generous, no, so magnanimous, to call all these girls over.

When everyone appeared in the conference room, Yao Yao and the other two women naturally knew that this was a serious discussion about important matters; otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen such a place to resolve personal grudges.

Eileen, Chiba Yukio, Asahi, and Yuugiri all wore complex expressions. They had been extremely cautious, even having a separate room with internet access, yet they had still been discovered.

Originally, when these people received Jiang Cai'er's invitation, they thought it was a trap and were quite worried. However, Jiang Cai'er then sent a few lines of text explaining the purpose of the trip, which dispelled their doubts, and they all rushed over.

The group also greatly admired Jiang Cai'er's magnanimity.

As for Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui, Jiang Cai'er considered them as her own people and knew they would rush back immediately, so she didn't offer any explanation.

“You can bring the child over from now on, no need to hide. Wenqian has had enough of staying over there, she wants to go home too,” Jiang Cai’er said, glancing at Eileen.

Eileen: "...Thank you."

Asahi and Yuugiri blinked, exchanged a glance, and simultaneously sensed each other's thoughts: could they also have children?
Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui had the same thought. In terms of age, the three of them were now thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. If they were ordinary people, they would definitely be considered advanced maternal age mothers, but as god-level superhumans, this was naturally not a problem.

Before, their relationship was kept secret, and they were always uneasy. Now, perhaps it really can happen.

Jiang Cai'er, observing their expressions, knew exactly what these girls were thinking. She sighed helplessly and said, "His current status is special. Even if you... have ideas, you can't put them out in the open. Let's wait until this crisis is resolved and everyone is alive before we talk about it."
