Chapter 810 Above the Abyss
A moment later, in front of a top-secret laboratory in the Starport research area, heavily guarded by various defense forces, a wave of cold mist rushed out as the titanium alloy door slid open silently.

Sima Lin and the seven academicians who had come here with the Grand Astrologer all gasped in shock, both because of the low temperature inside the laboratory and because of the scene inside.

The orbiter on the laboratory dome cast a pale blue light, illuminating a massive culture chamber suspended in the center.

This incubation chamber is not made of any alloy; its surface has a dark silver luster, and a deep blue-silver light flows between the 'dynamic and static' divine patterns with picometer-level precision.

Suspended on the top of the cabin is a quantum resonance ring with a diameter of 30 meters. The ring is composed of plasma generated by the annihilation of matter and antimatter. It is focused by 360 sets of gravitational lenses to form a stable local hyperspace field inside the cabin.

When the energy fluctuations of the divine flesh and blood exceed the threshold, the resonant ring will automatically adjust its phase, converting the overflowing energy into quantum foam and exporting it from the laboratory.

This allowed Sima Lin and the other academicians to look directly at the mass of flesh and blood inside the culture chamber—

It was only the size of a palm, faintly radiating starlight. Inside the laboratory, it spontaneously condensed into the shape of a dragon. The dragon's head was ferocious, and nine pairs of scarlet wings spread out behind it. It seemed to be quietly floating inside, but its chest was rising and falling slightly, as if it was breathing.

"This is... the divine blood of the Eastern Abyss?" Several of the academicians trembled as they leaned against the cabin wall.

They were also wearing special equipment. The Federal Academy of Sciences and the East Asian Academy of Sciences had developed a complete set of protective equipment to help them resist divine power and erosion and pollution in order to study the relics of the gods.

But what they are facing now is the blood of a god from the abyss! This abyss's power is already close to that of a god-king!

However, the flesh and blood seemed to sense their gaze and felt offended. The incubation chamber suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and the scarlet core deep within the flesh and blood suddenly lit up. The pupils of the crowd reflected the overwhelming blood-red light patterns, as if they saw billions of stars floating in a sea of ​​blood.

Academician Zhao, who was in the front row, suddenly staggered and grabbed the control panel next to him. He swore that the dragon-shaped mass of flesh had just glanced at him.

They even heard the flesh and blood roar like dragons, and the massive torrent of information originating from their minds shattered their fragile cognition.

Ripples spread across the quarantine area outside, and a kind of fluctuation that transcended the laws of physics caused a stinging sensation on everyone's skin.

If it weren't for the protective gear they wore, they would likely have already been reduced to a chaotic mass of flesh and blood under the suppression of the Abyss God's might.

"This is divine flesh and blood that our God took from his own body. For this project, we also spent a lot of money to customize a state-of-the-art experimental equipment from Forest Heavy Industry."

The Grand Astrologer took a step forward and manipulated the data panel to increase the power of the resonant ring, which slightly alleviated the mental shock suffered by everyone: "Your next task is to create human bodies for the gods in the shortest possible time, based on the characteristics of their flesh and blood!"

Sima Lin frowned slightly: "Your Excellency, if it is to create an alien body for an existence like the Eastern Abyss, I'm afraid it cannot be completed in a short time. Moreover, the strongest alien body technology in the Earth Federation can only create alien bodies of the weak longevity level. I estimate that it can bear 10% to 15% of His Highness the Eastern Abyss's power."

To create even more powerful, ultra-long-lived alien entities, we must rely on the power of His Highness the Lord of Light. If we want to reach the quasi-Abyss level, or even the Abyss level, we need to use mechanical technology, but currently it's very unstable and cannot be miniaturized.

The Grand Astrologer glanced sideways at Sima Lin. He knew that over the past three years, the Earth Federation had spent countless manpower and resources advancing the 'Great Sun Golden Crow's' body abyss transformation project, which was said to have yielded results.

The latest news is that the Abyss-level body of the 'Great Sun Golden Crow' can now withstand high-intensity combat for a certain period of time, making it a demigod-level combat force.

However, even the Dream Celestial Venerable couldn't find out the exact time.

This technology can soon be transferred to several other abyssal weapons of the Earth Federation. Although they cannot reach the demigod level like the 'Great Sun Golden Crow' which obtained part of the Great Sun Source Essence, they will still greatly increase the Federation's strength.

This has led to the Federation taking an increasingly hard line against the Longevity Society, even daring to reject the will of the gods on some core interests.

The Grand Astrologer's tone was firm: "I can give you three to six months. It must be manufactured to the quasi-Abyss level, and no mechanical parts can be used. The higher the strength of the alien body, the better. At that time, the Lord of Light will personally take action to resolve the technical hurdles of this alien body."

A cold smile then appeared on his face: "These flesh and blood of the gods, and this laboratory, are now entrusted to you all. If you have any further needs, you can contact me directly. This is my quantum communication number; you can add me as a friend. Next, you will need to sign a divine covenant. You must guarantee that you will not disclose any information about this project and will not do anything detrimental to my gods. I will guarantee your safety before and after the project—"

These academicians all showed strange expressions on their faces.

They all remained silent as the Grand Astrologer took out sheets of dragon-patterned paper and used his divine power to lift and pass them to them.

As Sima Lin read the text on the dragon-skin paper, he became suspicious, wondering what kind of deal Lin Rui had made with the Eastern Abyss.
Lin Rui had no doubt about the Eastern Abyss, and Lin Rui was willing to create a quasi-Abyss-level alien body for this person.

He then formed a light seal with both hands, and instantly a ball of pure fire blazed on the dragon-patterned paper.

The Celestial Star has a history of over 500,000 years. Throughout history, sorcerers and martial artists have invented countless methods to circumvent the Spirit Contract and use it to trap others, making it impossible to defend against.

The power of these deities is even more unpredictable and must be guarded against.

With the help of the Lord of Light, he verified that these divine contracts were indeed without fault, and then he cut his finger and signed his name.

"Rest assured, everyone, there is no problem with the divine covenant. Our project this time is personally guaranteed by the Lord of Light, who promises to ensure our safety."

The academicians present looked slightly relieved and began to sign their names.

Just after the Grand Astrologer of the Eastern Continent left with the dragon-patterned paper with a satisfied expression, several academicians looked at Sima Lin with strange expressions.

Seeing this, Sima Lin smiled wryly and said, "Don't look at me. It's not that the Lord of Light and I intentionally kept it from you, but we were worried about leaks. The gods are watching you closely, especially the Dream Celestial Venerable."

Over the past three years, the Celestial Venerable of Dreams has moved from covert to overt interference, increasingly interfering with the Federation and the Celestial Star.

This person, like several others from the Abyss, was learning from Lin Rui, vigorously promoting his faith, establishing a sect, and recruiting believers both inside and outside Tianji Star.

Although faith is more harmful than beneficial to the Abyss, combining it with an artifact similar to the 'Glorious Altar' and the Federation's concept of a macro-force field can enhance their power in the short term, which will help them compete for this opportunity of 'transcendence'.

Now all the gods have begun an arms race for the destined divine war, and no one dares to fall behind.

Now, even if it's like drinking poison to quench thirst, one should still drink it. As long as one can transcend the root cause and break free from the Celestial Star, then the subsequent poison of faith will be easily resolved.

Sima Lin then looked at the incubation chamber in front of him, and the mass of flesh and blood inside, his eyes shining brightly: "Besides, isn't this the opportunity we've been dreaming of—to study the living Abyss?"

Although Lin Rui and his two sisters also cooperated extensively with the two academies of sciences, their physical bodies had not actually reached the true Abyss level.

Sima Lin had also learned about the abyss transformation of the Great Sun Golden Crow's body. It was simply a matter of piling on various materials and then strengthening it to the abyss level with the help of a conceptual macro-force field. The actual combat cost was too high.

Of course, the fact that they were able to bring the abyssal weapons to the level of demigods was already a huge leap forward, and its significance was extremely important.

However, none of this can compare to the Abyss-level flesh and blood before us!
The academicians' eyes lit up and their expressions became excited upon hearing this.

They signed a divine covenant that forbids them from revealing any information related to this project, but they can still use the results of this research on the Abyss for other research projects.

※※※※

After leaving the laboratory, the Grand Master of the Eastern Continent immediately drove his flying car back to the Luojing Divine Palace.

Today, there was no Shenmian in the Eastern Abyss. He was browsing through information collected by the Imperial City Division's Demon Suppression Bureau on a 3D projection screen. The Grand Celestial of the Eastern Continent glanced at it and found that it was information related to the Dream Celestial Venerable and the Central Abyss—but the real source of the intelligence was actually the Lord of Light.

The Grand Astrologer of the Eastern Continent had already seen this intelligence. Thinking about the data inside, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Currently, several Abyss factions are recklessly expanding their influence in the base city, with Dream Celestial being the most prominent among them.

This person has been deeply involved in the Earth Federation for at least 600 years. According to the information given by the Lord of Light, the Dream Celestial Venerable's accumulated strength far exceeds their expectations.

This conglomerate, which has been openly and covertly controlling a market value of nearly 380 trillion Federal Credits, recently brought Shenyuan Sanren under its wing, controlling nearly 59% of the Changsheng Society's military and financial resources, and also wielding significant influence in several major states of the Earth Federation.

He can mobilize around 47000 warships, including 623 of the latest 'Star Orbit' class battleships, all of which have been upgraded to SS+.

This 'Dream Church,' which has invested heavily in supporting, has developed 47 billion believers in fourteen base cities, and its number of believers is approaching that of the Lord of Light, who has 82 billion believers.

The number of artificial canopy bases deployed has reached 91, which can accommodate the spirits of the canopy, numbering 332 billion people. This accounts for 32% of all bases, making it the most numerous among all gods.

What's frightening is that the research institute under this organization has cracked the manufacturing technology of the 'Pure One Altar' and improved it into the 'Dream Altar'. The 13 newly deployed bases are all in the form of a combination of a celestial base and an altar.

It is said that the other bases under the command of the Dream Celestial Venerable will also be transformed in the next few years, possessing some of the abilities of the 'altar'.

Currently, within the artificial canopy, only the Lord of Light has the ability to contend with it.

However, all of the Lord of Light's 'Purification Altars' were deployed a year and a half ago.

This deity was indeed of excellent character and good reputation, and he kept his divine covenant and did not continue to deploy the base.

This means that the number of Dream Celestial Venerable's bases will continue to expand in the future, giving them an overwhelming advantage over the Lord of Light!

It is said that this celestial being also secretly built a quantum matrix on the far side of the moon, which can greatly enhance His dream power.

In addition, the Middle Abyss is also gaining momentum in the Earth Federation, with its bases accounting for 17% of the total.

These two not only maintained an alliance with Lin Rui, but also had a relatively friendly attitude towards the Earth Federation. As a result, they received full support from Forest Heavy Industry and Ruifang Pharmaceutical. They were very wealthy and powerful, and possessed strong technological capabilities.

Because these two are allies of the Lord of Light, the Lord of Light provides them with relatively little information. However, according to their own investigation, the Abyss in the Middle Kingdom has at least 22 billion followers in the Earth Federation and can mobilize nearly 17000 warships.

The key is the Abyss in the Middle. It is possible that it obtained the 'Altar' forging technology from Lin Rui two years ago. Currently, there are 22 Altars in the Abyss in the Middle, which can accommodate more than 100 billion people.

At this point, His God had fallen behind these two.

Although the Eastern Continent's income increased several times under that person's rule, most of their power was tied up in Purgatory.

The Great Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, who inherited the power of the 'Undying Dragon Sovereign,' spared no effort in restraining and harassing the region, causing a large amount of resources in the Eastern Continent to be wasted under the Heavenly Abyss.

Thinking of this, the Grand Celestial of the Eastern Continent sighed inwardly and bowed to the Eastern Abyss: "Your Majesty, the arrangements at the Starport Alien Laboratory have been made. I will urge them to complete Your Majesty's alien body within three months."

He then hesitated slightly: "Is the God really going to hand over our Abyss Divine Stele to Lin Rui?"

That Lord of Light already has three!

After he learned that this newly born Heavenly Abyss was their regent, the Grand Astrologer of the Eastern Continent knew the truth about the Abyss Divine Stele.

This was one of the reasons why he felt ashamed and angry back then.

However, this god had already grown powerful three years ago, and the Eastern Abyss had no spare power to pursue him, so it could only put the matter aside for the time being.

Lin Rui has already used this Abyss Divine Stele, but once it is transferred, it can still greatly enhance this person's strength.

The Earth Federation and its many experts can further enhance their conceptual power with the help of the four Abyss Divine Steles.

The Grand Astrologer was always worried about this Lord of Light. Although he kept his promise and did not add any new altars in the various Heavenly Demon Homelands, his Church of Light was expanding rapidly within the Celestial Star.

The Church of Light now reportedly has 72 'Glorious Altars', the number of Light Farm-class warships has increased to 720, and the area of ​​its underground farms has expanded to a diameter of 8,000 kilometers, covering approximately 50 million square kilometers. This has made the Church of Light's annual income almost equal to that of the Liao and Wei kingdoms.

Although the gods remain vigilant and use various methods to suppress the expansion of the Church of Light, they can no longer directly strike the Church of Light with force as they did before.

This caused the Church of Light to expand to tens of billions of members in just three years, like a wild beast freed from its restraints.

"The divine covenant has been signed; how can it be revoked?"

Dong Zhi Shen Yuan shook his head: "Besides the alien, we must also obtain the altar blueprints as soon as possible. We are already behind and cannot afford to delay any longer."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Astrologer of the Eastern Continent froze, speechless.

What he was most worried about was that after the Eastern Abyss handed over the Abyss God Tablet, it would provoke the Northern Abyss and lead to a deal between the Northern Abyss and Lin Rui.

However, as God said, they really can't afford to delay any longer.

According to the latest statistics, the total population of the fourteen Heavenly Demon Homelands has reached 1100 billion, while the total capacity of the population canopy base has reached 1037 billion.

It is estimated that an artificial canopy with a capacity of 1200 billion units could accommodate a god, and 1500 billion units could accommodate a god-king.

At this point, the struggle for control of the artificial canopy has become imminent!

The Grand Astrologer of the Eastern Continent looked up at the sky, thinking to himself that this man from the Abyss of Heaven was truly cunning and far-reaching.

Lin Rui's desire for the other two Abyss God Tablets was common knowledge among the upper echelons of Tianji Star. Yet, he did nothing but support the Abyss in the Middle and let Dream Celestial Venerable run rampant, easily achieving his goal and forcing his own god to make a deal with him.

This person must be feeling quite smug right now, right?

The Grand Celestial of the Eastern Continent wondered what this man, who was so vigorously expanding the Glorious Altar on the Celestial Pole Star, was really trying to achieve. Was he trying to collect all five Abyss Divine Steles so that he could elevate his own fundamental concept to the divine level?
The Grand Astrologer firmly believed that Lin Rui had ulterior motives. This Lord of Light could not possibly withdraw from the struggle for transcendence so willingly. He believed that his divine superior thought the same way.

Fortunately, they are almost there too; his god is about to ascend above the abyss!

What the Grand Astrologer didn't know was that Lin Rui was in the top-secret laboratory of the Ninth Base Urban Wharf Base, undergoing a physical examination with Huangfu Qing's help, while gazing at the direction of the Divine Palace in Luojing City from afar.

His expression was solemn, and his eyes were as cold as blades and halberds!
