Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

"Li Yi, congratulations. You have further proven that the path you have taken is absolutely correct."

Lin Jianlong carefully observed the spacetime structure that was isolated from Li Yi's body.

To be honest, he even doubted that he was seeing things because of that lingering scent.

After he mastered the ability to instantly traverse countless light-years, he could vaguely sense this special path to immortality.

He maintained this state without making any further breakthroughs, also in order to explore this path.

Because he realized that once he was promoted, he would never be able to touch 'immortality' again.

But he didn't expect that Li Yi, this rising star, would actually cross that line.

“Absolutely right, what do you mean by that, Chief of Staff Lin?”

Li Yi was surprised.

Lin Jianlong said:

"Simply put, the more drastically different the path can be from the original divine evolution system, the more correct the path is."

"Especially you, at this moment, possess a trace of immortality."

"This proves everything."

"Because as far as I know, even quasi-gods find it very difficult to cultivate the immortality trait."

"Only a few powerful quasi-gods and supreme beings can cultivate the trait of immortality."

"You should know about the concept of the body, right?"

Li Yi nodded.

He didn't know much about the Conceptual Body. He had only heard of it before because Yan had mentioned that there was a super strong person in her mind who had mastered the Conceptual Body.

Lin Jianlong said:

"The essence of the concept is also to pursue the characteristic of immortality."

"The body of concept is to cultivate one's physical body into a concept. This not only allows one to resist the invasion of changes in time and space, but also to resist most of the powerful attacks in this world. It is also a kind of immortality."

"However, this method is very resource-intensive, and only top-tier quasi-gods or supreme beings can possess it."

"Even a supreme being cannot use this technique for long."

“But I see that you already possess this trace of immortality from the very beginning.”

"In other words, your immortality is a property that is not consumed, but is naturally possessed."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's heart stirred.

"Does Chief of Staff mean that mine is even more advanced?"

Lin Jianlong laughed:
"Be confident. Your ability to reach this level is unparalleled in all of human history. Of course, those top-tier supreme beings should have already mastered the method of long-term residence in conceptual bodies, which is also the key to the difference in strength between supreme beings."

Li Yi nodded.

It seems that the limits of my breakthrough this time are indeed very high.

Thor, Neptune, Xie Shuai, Chongxing, and Mingpo, including Chen Qiongzhi's special physique, were all forged and transformed by various divine sequences, bringing his physical body to a state of perfection.

"How do techniques like the Thunder God's Body and the Ice God's Body compare to the Conceptual Body?"

Lin Jianlong explained:

"These are the products of the divine sequence being sublimated to its limit; they are essentially the culmination of a sequence's techniques."

"It is not only necessary for the divine genes you cultivate to have a sufficiently strong influence on your physical body, so that your physical body has enough sequence characteristics."

"A high degree of understanding of the divinity of this sequence is also required."

"Only by reaching this level can one cultivate a sequence of divine bodies."

"This is a hierarchical relationship with the Conceptual Body." "Only by cultivating the Sequence Divine Body can one continue to evolve and cultivate the Conceptual Body."

"Just like divinity, what evolved beings possess is ordinary divinity, while those who reach the Celestial Rank possess Celestial Rank characteristics. Some of the stronger ones have already begun to acquire conceptual features of these Celestial Rank characteristics."

"Generally speaking, at the very least, one needs to be a demigod to cultivate a sequence divine body."

"In reality, even demigods find it difficult to achieve this level."

"Because this is an extremely sophisticated and comprehensive technique, it requires mastering too many things, and it is not a technique necessary for advancement."

"Of course, once you reach a sufficient height, these techniques become excellent ways to avoid disaster."

"Many top-tier supreme beings, unless caught off guard, relied on their conceptual bodies to avoid the initial impact of the calamity in its early stages."

"Then, various arrangements were made."

"For example, the Starlight Supreme, although he did not master the Conceptual Body, he did master the extremely profound Starlight Sequence Divine Body, which allowed him to maintain his position for a while. He then made various arrangements and even had the spare power to save the life of Dan Chenli, a quasi-god."

"The reason why various resurrected beings have appeared in our later eras is because the disasters were not as severe as recorded by the Starlight Supreme."

Upon hearing this, not only Li Yi, but also Tan Yaozu and Xiao Pingchuan were taken aback.

The three of them had a vague feeling that Lin Jianlong might know too much.

Although Lin Jianlong is a pillar of humanity, there seems to be more information than any previous database or intelligence record on this topic.

Tan Yaozu couldn't help but speak up:

"Not that intense" means...?

Lin Jianlong smiled and said:
"Disasters are actually calamities that last for a very long time, and the most intense wave is borne by the strongest people of an era."

"After that, it was gradually transmitted to the second-strongest."

"Then it continues to expand, covering all the top powerhouses and gradually eroding them."

"Only when all the Supreme Beings have been completely annihilated and died will the transmission continue to the Quasi-Gods."

“The time that has passed during this period is not just a moment or a second.”

"But decades, centuries!"

"The first strong to die will become one of the forces of calamity."

"The Supremes will initially communicate with each other to learn about each other's intelligence."

"When they learned from the changes in the first Supreme Being who fell that the calamity would use the power of Supreme Beings to obliterate other powerful beings, they knew that they could not avoid the calamity and had to fake their death to deal with it."

"Those who initially attempted to feign death were revived within a few days."

"As a result, he was afflicted by disaster again. Due to his weakened state after just recovering, he quickly perished and could not even use the technique of feigning death."

"Even if it recovers in a few years, it will be over, because in just a few years, the disaster will naturally not disappear."

"Those supreme beings who survived to the end naturally knew that they could not simply fake their deaths."

"It can only be revived after all the Supreme Beings have been worn down and died, and even after all its kin have died."

"Think about it, how long would it take for the calamity to spread from the Supreme Being down to the Quasi-Gods, Demi-Gods, and even the Supreme Beings, with so many long-lived figures?"

The three of them were silent.

The things Lin Jianlong was talking about were far more secretive than the intelligence they had previously learned.

They wondered how Lin Jianlong knew so much.

Could Lin Jianlong also be a survivor?
Lin Jianlong seemed to have seen through their thoughts, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled gently at the three of them.

After a moment, Li Yi spoke:

"The power of the calamity will grow stronger and stronger, so once the Supreme and Quasi-God levels are completely wiped out, those below will die instantly, right, Chief Lin?" (End of Chapter)
