Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

A cool night breeze caressed his face, causing his hair to flutter. Jiang Mo tried several times to meditate and break through to a higher level, but to no avail.

He knew he had reached the end of the road. Clearly, one step forward would lead to a new miracle, but the problem that was troubling him was that no matter where he stepped, there was only a vast expanse of nothingness ahead.

A helpless sigh escaped his throat. Jiang Mo slowly rose and paced alone on the white jade ground in front of the palace.

He would sometimes look at the brightly lit Feixian Peak in the distance, and sometimes gaze at the dark and hazy mountains elsewhere, while the sounds of various waterfalls thousands of feet high echoed in his ears.

The bright moonlight shone flawlessly through the walls of the secret realm, illuminating the entire vast Flying Immortal Secret Realm.

Jiang Mo stood there quietly, pondering again and again, but still couldn't make a final decision.

He wanted to borrow the 'Ultimate Key' ahead of time to achieve the ultimate leap and completely become a cultivator of the 'Grasping the Void' realm, thereby sweeping away all the demons and monsters who plotted against him, intercepted him, and destroyed him into the ruins of history.

However, such an attempt carries an exceptionally high risk.

In the entire world, only three people—Flying Immortal Master, Xuan Hua, and Jiang Mo—have any knowledge of the 'Ultimate Key to the Dao.' Moreover, Jiang Mo believes that his mastery of this technique is not much inferior to that of the two senior members of the Flying Immortal Sect.

Even so, he still felt uncertain.

The moment the Ultimate Key is activated, everything within oneself is sacrificed. If one cannot awaken any one of the 983,766,512 vast universes within the body at the most crucial moment, to accommodate the true soul and draw power from the secret universe of the human body, then one will truly disappear from the world, without a corpse or an afterlife.

The Dao Lords and Masters of the Flying Immortal Sect throughout history would never attempt such forbidden techniques unless they were facing certain death or, in their later years, still unable to relinquish their absolute devotion to the Dao.

Most people fail and survive because they know before they take that step that they can't bear it, that it's pointless, so they simply stop and die in despair.

Those who dare to take that step forward are more likely to suffer a fate worse than being reduced to ashes; not even a trace of their soul or body will remain.

"Wow!"

Just as he was hesitating, Jiang Mo suddenly raised his hand and grabbed at the empty space in front of him.

In an instant, his left hand, with its five fingers like celestial jade, radiated flawless brilliance, piercing through the Flying Immortal Secret Realm and arriving in the snowfield deep in the Northern Frontier in a flash. From a withered tree trembling in the biting cold wind, he plucked a bright, pure white plum blossom.

"Buzz!"

As Jiang Mo withdrew his hand, the boundary healed. He silently gazed at the plum blossom in his hand, his thoughts drifting to an ancient poem, which he then unconsciously recited aloud:

"A fine sword is forged through tempering and honing..."

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold..."

Heaven and earth, the Dao Palace, were all behind him, silent and still.

At this moment, Jiang Mo thought about many things. Silently, the fate of billions of lives had fallen on his shoulders.

If he were merely a seeker of the Dao, with no attachments, he would not have been afraid of the so-called ultimate key, 'Eternal Silence,' and would have simply stepped forward.

But he still has concerns; his humanity remains, and he cannot bring himself to sacrifice the lives of all living beings in the world for his failure.

"Plum blossoms, oh plum blossoms..."

Do you think this world will become brighter and better?

Jiang Mo lowered his eyes and gazed at the plum blossoms, his lips devoid of any smile, his expression solemn. He was asking a question to a lifeless plum blossom, which was also a questioning of his own heart.

"........."

After a long while, Jiang Mo had an answer in his heart. He casually opened the void again and grafted the plum blossom back onto the original withered branch. There was no trace of scars, and it healed perfectly.

Then, he turned away silently, finally resisting the temptation of the ultimate secret key and not continuing forward.

"Sir, I would like to borrow your esteemed library."

"can."

A faint laugh echoed from the distant mountain peaks.

"Would you like me to accompany you to take a look?"

The Flying Immortal Master asked from afar, sitting cross-legged in the sea of ​​incense and lotus flowers within the Flying Immortal Palace, mobilizing billions of faith powers to heal his injuries.

"No need."

"it is good."

After a few words, an ancient and sacred staircase appeared before Jiang Mo, leading to the Eternal Pavilion, the place where the Flying Immortal Sect has treasured all its books for over 15,000 years.

"clatter......"

"clatter......."

Jiang Mo climbed the long steps and unknowingly walked hundreds of miles. At the end of the journey was a magnificent building with its doors already open.

With the arrival of the Flying Immortal Lord, the elders and disciples responsible for guarding the area immediately bowed silently upon seeing this Mystic Venerable arrive, choosing not to disturb him and retreating without further ado.

Jiang Mo walked straight in and wandered among the sea of ​​ancient books. He came here simply to find some information to support his conjecture.

"Crash!!"

"Crash!!!"

Jiang Mo's gaze fell on the corner, where several heavy ancient books flew out and unfolded.

"........."

He flipped through it for a few seconds and then gave up; there was nothing he wanted inside.

As Jiang Mo continued walking, ancient books opened on their own, the text gradually lighting up, and a massive amount of fragmented and ancient information flooded into his mind like a tide.

After a moment, he stopped, lost in thought.

"Evil spirit..."

"Blood Demon..."

"Dragon Clan..."

"It can't be wrong," Jiang Mo murmured softly.

The ancient alien beings he foresaw during his second true form's breakthrough were a demonic royal being with a soul as resilient as its body, and whose eyes flickered with a signature green flame.

An ancient dragon that has lived for countless years, stretching for thousands of miles, is like the embodiment of the Great Wall, a fortification built by ordinary people, in mythology.

There was also a blood demon with a body a hundred feet tall, and wherever it went, illusory seas of blood descended.

Based on the evidence from ancient books and records, Jiang Mo roughly determined the identities of these ancient artifacts. In the battle to intercept the Starry Sky Human Race, their combat power was similar to that of the Flying Immortal Master. The three of them destroyed a lot of fleets and even survived to the end, entering the Immortal Realm with him.

Without a doubt, those three ancient beings are practically the strongest beings currently existing among the three major races.

However, these alien races all went into hiding after their defeats in battles against the human and demon races.

Even after Jiang Mo searched through all the ancient books in the Eternal Pavilion, he still couldn't find the coordinates of their main base.

Several hours later, Jiang Mo left. He returned to the Sunset Peak and True Balance Palace that the Flying Immortal Sect had specially prepared for him, sat cross-legged in meditation, breathed softly, and then closed his eyes slightly.

The next second, a wisp of consciousness was projected into the heavenly realm, transforming into a faint soul that walked.

Currently, the heavenly kingdom constructed by Jiang Mo is a narrow cage to his true self. No matter how much this giant beast tries to restrain its claws, it cannot squeeze in. The only simple way is for his consciousness to enter.

Soon, Jiang Mo's arrival caused a great stir.

Because the Heavenly Kingdom was previously set up so that one day corresponded to one year, which coincided with the ancient legend that one year on earth was equivalent to one day in heaven.

Two months have passed since November 3, 2025, when these top scientists from both the Dragonkin and Human races were sent inside; that is, 60 years have passed.

In addition, the characteristics of the Heavenly Kingdom meant that these scholars experienced almost no aging. On the contrary, the large number of scholars working together to tackle the challenges made their spirits more abundant than ever before. Moreover, before they entered, Jiang Mo had promised them that the time limit he could give them was 100,000 years.

A full 100,000 years—how incredibly long! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was the end of time. The scholars felt no pressure, and the development of science and technology proceeded naturally and smoothly. They didn't seek unconventional approaches, but rather stability.

Soon after, several chief scientists of the Dragonkin and human researchers came to meet with Jiang Mo and share their latest findings.

"This is the latest upgraded Anasis Cannon. Based on the technology of the underground human star-destroying cannon, we have incorporated space travel technology. Before firing, we open a new wormhole in front of the cannon muzzle, allowing the energy beam to enter other dimensions. By utilizing the absolute isolation of space, we can achieve the effect of absolute evasion and absolute hit."

"Furthermore, we disassembled the original Star Destroyer and repaired its flaws, successfully increasing the beam's power by 120% under continuous testing without affecting stability."

The dragon-human scientists, Berg and Benjamin, respectfully presented a detailed data report on their latest masterpiece.

Jiang Mo took the papers, glanced at them, and without denying their efforts, encouraged them in a gentle tone:

“You have done a great job, but there are some shortcomings that I would like to make clear to you.”

"You say."

Berg humbly sought advice, and even scholars at the forefront of science believed that Xuanzun's suggestions could help him.

"The Starry Sky Human Race's warships have a very strong energy magnetic field on their surface. First of all, these Star Destroyer Cannons are far from enough to tear through those barriers. They need to be increased by at least a hundred times to have a chance to break through a gap head-on. If it's increased by two hundred times, then there will be no doubt about it."

"I know that upgrading from 220% to 20000% is not an easy task, but you have plenty of time, so go ahead and try. If you fail once, it doesn't matter. Try a thousand, ten thousand, a million times, and you will eventually succeed."

"However, such a change only adds a negligible chance of winning to our victory. Naturally, the stronger the power, the better. If it is a thousand times or ten thousand times stronger, we will not be afraid of losing when we clash with them."

"Yes... I will keep that in mind."

Berg was an extremely intelligent scholar. Although with the current conditions and technology, an improvement of 220% was already the limit, and 20000% was still a long way off, his focus was on the fact that the power of the Star Destroyer, which could break through the energy magnetic field of the Star Human warship, needed to reach 200 times its original value.

Its mission is to do everything possible to bridge this gap.

“Anything else?” Berg then asked.

"The space jump technology you possess has also been developed by the Star Race, and they are far superior to it. They call it warp travel."

Jiang Mo spoke calmly.

The bloody battle he witnessed, in which Yue Li, one of the three kings, was killed, was like this: after those warships shot out streams of light, they disappeared in an instant, traversing different dimensions, and when they reappeared, they were already inside the target's body.

Although the participants in that battle all possessed the keen sense to detect and evade in advance, when a million beams of light shot out at once, blocking all angles, everything was in vain.

"........"

Upon hearing Jiang Mo's words, Berg and Benjamin's expressions changed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.

Although space travel technology is their race's source of pride and fundamental survival skill, the Star Humans' technological level far surpasses theirs, so it is only natural that they can achieve something in this field.

"Since they possess the same technology, they will also be prepared for the same things we've thought of. They should have defensive measures against your dimensional ballistic attacks. Therefore, you need to go further than them and do things more thoroughly. Sometimes, the slightest slackness or the smallest difference can lead to catastrophic consequences."

"Yes, I will first focus on research to enhance the power and rebuild the equipment. As for the development of dimensional ballistic penetration and anti-defense, I will gradually catch up and let Benjamin take charge first."

"I wish you all the best. Do you have enough resources for the experiment?"

When Jiang Mo inquired about this matter, he mentioned that when these scholars arrived, he, along with the Nine Tribes and the Dragon Clan, had collected and stored a massive amount of resources here, enough for a hundred years of consumption. Now, sixty years have passed, and some of these resources must be insufficient.

"We need supplies. Please take a look."

Berg then retrieved a new electronic document containing all the necessary research materials.

"Okay, I will make preparations as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Mo accepted the document, bowed slightly, and paid his respects to the group of scholars.

Chapter 547 Enlightenment, A Fleeting Opportunity

"By the way, Venerable Xuan, we have also upgraded the three sleeping mechs of the underground human race."

"Those three mechs all have AI-powered combat capabilities, or can be manually controlled. Would you like to test them?"

Berg added another sentence.

"No need, just give me the data panel before and after the update, I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Mo had little interest in these lumps of iron. Back when he stole the technological secrets of the underground human race, he already knew the casting technology of these mechs by heart, making him a scholar who was an expert in the field.

At his request, Berg immediately complied, handing over several ultra-thin LCD panels, which were filled with densely packed data. The left side represented the old items, and the right side represented the new items. Improved values ​​were marked in blue, while weakened values ​​were marked in red.

The three ultimate mechs are codenamed Abyss Dragon, Dark Fox, and Blazing Feather, respectively.

Jiang Mo glanced at them and saw that most of them were blue labels, with some red labels, but they only accounted for 2%. Compared to the advantages of the renovation, these overlooked and magnified disadvantages were not worth mentioning.

The factors that determine the maximum amount of water a wooden bucket can hold can be either the shortest or the longest plank, but most of the time, only the shortest plank will be repaired and given special attention.

In fact, as long as you find the right angle of inclination, place the bucket at an angle, and extend the planks indefinitely, you can break through the upper limit of the water capacity.

When the subterranean humans developed the three ultimate mechs, they followed this theory, trying to maximize the mechs' advantages to cover up their weaknesses.

If the advantages are great enough, as dazzling as the sun, then the flaws, as numerous as stars, will be completely concealed and disappear without a trace under the sunlight.

"Built-in lightsaber, temperature increased by 40%, sharpness increased by 200%..."

"Six major components on the back, energy replenishment through the decaying magnetic field repair, and enhancement of the trigger time and distance of the 'teleportation' component..."

"Remove the gravity magnetic field deployment effect and replace it with a single-target beam traction effect..."

Jiang Mo's gaze continued to slide downwards, as scene after scene of modification data came into view, and the only information he received was a few concise words.

They've become even more formidable.

The trade-off is that the defensive and endurance capabilities of these mechs will be significantly reduced. Based on this, the chief scientists of the Dragonkin and the most cutting-edge scholars of humanity unanimously agree that:
