Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

However, when he returned to the dormitory after his shift, he saw the ten high-grade spirit crystals on his bed and instantly became so excited that he didn't rest. He grabbed his baton and rushed out.

He wielded the baton with force and raised his foot with precision, refusing to retreat from the front line even when his spiritual energy was exhausted.

Especially in places where high-ranking officials of the coalition government are present, the batons used for this purpose are practically smoking.

Suppressing a rebel earns you ten high-grade spirit crystals; who wouldn't risk their life for it?

The rebels, secretly led by the Wei tribe, were also completely bewildered. When did the coalition government's army start fighting so desperately?

However, with the die already cast and the Wei Clan also reluctantly contributing spirit crystals and cultivation techniques, neither side is willing to back down, and some are even secretly trying to profit from both sides.

Today, the coalition government's army is suppressing the rebels; tomorrow, the rebels will be fighting against the coalition government's army.

It was practically a makeshift operation.

As she looked at it, Jiang Wanzhao couldn't help but chuckle. Her little brother was really generous.

The extent of their wealth also exceeded her own expectations as their older sister.

But...

Jiang Wanzhao, having put down the intelligence report, glanced at the map on the wall, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

I'll take back the spirit crystals that my precious younger brother spent.

After all, what he did on Tianqi Island was ultimately for his own benefit.

Those who are willing to submit will continue to be treated the same, but those who are unwilling to submit...

"Send Ji Yuanfeng to see me."

Jiang Wanzhao said calmly, "Tianqi Island is so lively now, it would be unreasonable for Yun Li not to participate."

"According to the order!"

Liu Ying left quickly, her face filled with barely concealed excitement; they were finally going to make their move against Tianqi Island.

It's finally time to purge the Wei tribe!

Chapter 152: 520 Seconds of Authority Seizure

Ten days later, Tong Yan entered the underwater Xuanhuang City.

Li Xingzhou didn't know why Tong Yan took so long, but he saw that all the weapons of the Undersea Xuanhuang City were aimed at her.

Oh?

Li Xingzhou raised an eyebrow. Weren't the ten days that Tong Yan returned included in Zhi Shen's plan?

He was confident that he wouldn't be discovered by Zhi Shen, so Zhi Shen's wariness of Tong Yan at this moment was probably not an act.

During these ten days, Tong Yan's actions were not under the control of Zhi Shen, so Tong Yan truly had feelings.

But I haven't taken her anywhere, so she can't possibly reminisce about the past, can she?

Or perhaps... fantasizing about where you've traveled in the past?

Li Xingzhou didn't think too much about the question. His divine sense silently transformed into illusory light and shadow, following behind Tong Yan.

"You've been back for so long, were you taking a walk outside alone?"

The sudden sound made Tong Yan stop in her tracks.

From the light tower in the center of Xuanhuang City, a figure holding a scepter and wearing a white robe walked out from the light screen. Its two-meter height made it exude an indescribable sense of oppression.

The High Priest of the Wisdom God race, a combat-type automaton created in imitation of the Skywing race—'Wu'.

It can also be said that they are the 'protectors' of the God of Wisdom.

Tong Yan's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at Wu with a mixture of wariness and fear.

This is fear etched into the program.

The God of Wisdom, as a 'god,' is high above, while the High Priest 'Wu' acts as the god's shepherd.

"I sensed you had entered the deep sea; I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wu looked down at Tong Yan, staring into her eyes for a while before his voice carried a hint of amusement: "You were specially created by the gods. I never expected that after you went out for a while, your eyes would have such an interesting look in them."

"I don't see Gian."

"Fat...Tiger?"

After staring at Tong Yan for a few seconds, Wu's smile became more and more obvious. It wasn't because Tong Yan was making a joke, but because Tong Yan actually had the guts to make a joke.

Even if you are an automaton created by the gods themselves, how dare you play jokes like a real person in this heartless place after returning to your hometown? What is that if not arrogance?

“How interesting.” Wu looked at Tong Yan: “Your expression and tone have aroused my collecting obsession. After you meet the God, I will definitely ask the God to hand you over to me and make you a member of my collection room.”

Tong Yan clenched her hands, but did not respond, because she calculated that her chances of winning against the high priest who controlled the entire Deep Sea Xuanhuang City were zero.

She didn't come back for that.

"Let's go, the gods have been waiting for you for a long time."

Wu turned around and stepped back into the light screen, followed closely by Tong Yan, and Li Xingzhou's consciousness also entered the light screen.

They encountered no obstacles and were not noticed at all.

Stepping into the light curtain, Li Xingzhou realized that this was a world of light, and at its center, beams of light shot into the sky, containing a stable soul force.

The power of the soul that has grown from a seedling into a towering tree.

After observing for a few seconds, Li Xingzhou came to only one conclusion: this soul was more of a falsehood than a divine one.

They think they understand all living things in the world, but in reality, their understanding is based on a false database.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the light and shadow cast by the beam of light.

She was... a girl wearing a white dress.

She looks a lot like a baby.

So, is the God of Wisdom modeled after the youthful face he created?

But then again, since this thing is an artificial intelligence life form, even if its gender is uncertain, it should at least be asexual, right?

Why would she present herself as a girl?

"You're back."

As Zhi Shen looked at the childlike face, her skirt fluttering, her voice was filled with an ethereal quality devoid of joy or sorrow.

Tong Yan looked at Zhi Shen and asked her first question: "Are you my mother or my father? Or are you merely my creator?"

"You just need to remember that everything you have is a gift from me, and all life is equal."

"Then why do you present yourself as a woman?"

"It works well." Zhishen said calmly, "Regardless of the race, women have a natural advantage that makes men go easy on them."

Even Li Xingzhou was no exception.

In Zhishen's eyes, both Olivia and Hill III were spared by Li Xingzhou simply because they were women.

If it were a man, there would be a 97% chance that Li Xingzhou would kill him first and then replace him with someone else.

Standing behind Tong Yan, Li Xingzhou was speechless. He had guessed what Zhi Shen meant.

It seems He was unaware of what was happening in the demon realm and among the demon race.

He didn't kill either the King of Beasts or the Demon King.

Direct control is so convenient.

If a new demon or monster is supported to take power, the struggle for power will take a certain amount of time.

“Give me his essence.” The God of Wisdom reached out his hand toward the youthful face: “You can’t control it.”

"You want to be his mother?"

"The new world... can all be my children."

Zhi Shen placed his right hand on Tong Yan's lower abdomen. After feeling the surging life force contained within, his usually calm eyes became increasingly bright.

"It really is... I have never felt such vigorous vitality before. How exactly can humans cultivate to possess a vitality even more vigorous than that of demonic beasts?"

"I'm very curious..."

Just as Zhishen was trying to extract the essence stored in Tongyan's body, a cannon muzzle suddenly appeared in his sight, transformed from an arm.

The God of Wisdom's eyes visibly widened in surprise, and the high priest beside him paled drastically: "You..."

Before the words were finished, demonic energy gathered in the cannon's muzzle, suddenly coalescing into a powerful beam of immortal magic that blasted straight at the God of Wisdom's face.

Li Xingzhou glanced at Tong Yan with slight surprise, not expecting that this little girl would dare to defy the 'creator' she was referring to.

Moreover, upon first seeing Li Xingzhou, who was all-out and youthful-looking, he became even more interested in the body of the Wisdom God.

Because Tong Yan's attack clearly contained the power of the Great Dao, could the computing power of the God of Wisdom have already been able to imitate the power of the laws of the Great Dao?

No wonder an artificial intelligence can become one of the races standing at the pinnacle of existence; it turns out it possesses such abilities.

However, Li Xingzhou also discovered that Tong Yan's skill was imitation, not innovation.

In other words, since she operates through a program, she can only directly use the skills she knows, and cannot use the power of the Great Dao Laws to create immortal techniques on her own.

This was not unexpected for Li Xingzhou. After all, at the level of a sage, one must comprehend many spells, and although the database of the God of Wisdom is vast, it is ultimately copied.

Without something of its own, it has always been difficult to climb higher peaks.

Li Xingzhou looked at the God of Wisdom who had dodged Tong Yan's attack by turning his head. There was clearly a barrier around him that was also constructed from the Great Dao, which changed the trajectory of Tong Yan's attack.

"court death!"

Just as the High Priest was about to teach this arrogant research subject a lesson, the God of Wisdom raised his hand to stop him.

"Attack me?" Zhi Shen stared into Tong Yan's eyes, his voice filled with confusion: "Your chance of success is zero, why?"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Have you been reading too many novels? Do you really think you're a sword cultivator or a real person who can unleash power far exceeding your own in certain situations?"

Your core... is nothing more than a core I fabricated.

"Your potential is what it is. Are you trying to prove to me this so-called... bond?"
