The conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and dozens of top domestic geologists, physicists, and even several elderly paleogeography masters with white hair rushed in, their clothes disheveled.

On the large projection screen, the eerie "heartbeat waveform" was still playing on a loop.

"This is definitely not plate tectonics!"

An elderly professor slammed his fist on the table, spitting as he spoke, "If it's plate tectonics, why are there no aftershocks? Why is there no displacement of the fault lines? Not even a micrometer! It's like... like the Earth just shivered!"

"Or perhaps something deep within the Earth... has turned over."

In a corner, a young researcher muttered something under his breath.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

All eyes were drawn to the epicenter location marked in the center of the screen.

Although the waveform is synchronized across the entire domain, the supercomputer still managed to calculate the initial "pacing point" using a complex triangulation algorithm.

That place is 90 degrees east longitude and 36 degrees north latitude.

Deep in Death Valley, west of Yuzhu Peak in the Kunlun Mountains.

"Whatever it is," the director of the Taiwan Network Center wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice hoarse, "We've given a death order. People from Bureau 749 are on their way. Our mission is to block the news... tell the media it's just a rare 'atmospheric infrasound resonance'."

"Resonance?" The old professor gave a wry smile. "Who do you think you can fool? That sound just now... it resonated directly in a person's brain."

【Gu Family Old House - Study】

Time: 04:30 AM

Gu Qing looked at the rapidly increasing data in the system's backend and took a satisfied sip of tea that had long since gone cold.

[Credit score calculation in progress...]

[Event: Dragon Vein Reversal (S-level pre-requisite effect)]

[Affected Area: Global.]

[Emotional feedback: Fear (40%), Awe (30%), Confusion (30%).]

[Gained Faith Points: 210,000.]

"I broke even in one go and even made a profit of 30,000."

Gu Qing put down his teacup, his eyes sharpening once more.

"The goal of deterrence has been achieved. Next, it's time to set up the 'stage'."

He brought up a holographic 3D topographic map of the Kunlun Mountains on the system panel.

Although the Kunlun Mountains are majestic, they are still considered a "dead land" by cultivators. The spiritual energy is thin, and although the rocks are strange, they lack spiritual charm. They are simply unable to withstand the upcoming high-intensity war, let alone serve as a "university of cultivation" for all mankind.

"System, load the [Immortal Cave Heaven] module."

[Module loading...]

[Please provide the detailed design, host. Note: It is recommended to prioritize the realization of the core area.]

Gu Qing's fingers flew across the holographic map like a mad architect.

"First, the mountain must be high."

Gu Qing stared at the main peak. "The current altitude is too low; it's still within the troposphere. A true sacred mountain should soar into the clouds and pierce the heavens."

"But I can't just lift up the earth's crust, that would trigger a real mega-earthquake."

"Therefore, I want to build a 'suspended mountain'."

Above the main peak of Kunlun, he sketched a huge, gravity-defying inverted pyramid structure.

[Concept: Floating fairy island.]

[Principle: The magnetic field formed by a high concentration of spiritual energy repels gravity.]

Cost: 100,000 Reliability Points.

"Approved." Gu Qing replied without hesitation.

"Secondly, there must be a 'door'."

Gu Qing drew a circle with her finger at the foot of the mountain in Death Valley.

"Ordinary people must undergo trials to climb this mountain. Not just anyone can be allowed in. There needs to be a path here, a path that leads directly to the clouds, yet also filters out people's character."

[Concept: Climbing the ladder to heaven (three thousand steps).]

[Special Effect: Comes with a "Heart-Testing Array," those with impure intentions cannot enter.]

Cost: 20,000 Reliability Points.

"approve."

"at last……"

Gu Qing's gaze deepened. He looked at the summit of the soon-to-be-born suspended mountain.

The place is empty; it needs a core building. A "miracle" that all of humanity can look up to, that can make the people of Bureau 749 completely kneel in awe.

"I want to build a palace."

"A palace that doesn't belong to this era, with an ancient and desolate style, as if it has stood there for hundreds of millions of years."

"His name is... Kunlunxu."

Gu Qing recalled all the fantasy novels and mythological classics he had read in his previous life, gradually bringing those magnificent imaginations to life in the system.

White jade is used for bricks, and glazed tiles are used for roof tiles.

There are even a few broken dragon-shaped pillars, hinting at a great battle that once took place here.

It doesn't need to be perfect; it needs to carry a sense of historical weight and vicissitude.

[System notification: This building complex is too large.]

[Suggested solution: First perform "optical projection" and "local solidification".]

"Can."

Gu Qing nodded. "Let them 'see' first, then let them 'touch'."

"This is my next script."

Gu Qing stared at the magnificent immortal mountain shrouded in mist and appearing and disappearing on the holographic map, his eyes gleaming with fervent light.

"Script title: 【The Return of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains】."

"But this time, I need more than just an audience."

Gu Qing looked out the window at the gradually whitening eastern horizon.

"I need workers, I need students, I need... soldiers."

He picked up his phone, looked at the still-unresolved trending topics on the screen, and said softly:

"The world's powerful and wealthy..."

"I've already prepared the admission tickets for you."

"Now, let's see if you dare to come and take it."
