Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 543 Creation of Heaven and Earth

When Qiukas was about to leave the Holy Palace, he was not alone; he was accompanied by Molang, Meijis, Lucifer, Yodara, and Asmi.

"My senior brother saved my life, and I cannot fail to repay this debt. Let me go to Bliss City to oversee things. I'm not boasting, but most high-ranking gods are nothing but prey to me!"

"We can't really achieve anything here now, so it's a good opportunity to go out and get some action and experience some battles."

"In my personal capacity, I am willing to fight and kill for my senior brother!"

"My senior brother's affairs are my affairs!"

"I am willing to obey my senior brother's orders!"

"I'm going too. It's so stuffy here, it'll be good to get some fresh air..."

The five men's eagerness to recommend themselves clearly revealed an intention to curry favor with Lei Chi.

Lei Chi didn't have any concerns. He knew that these guys belonged to the Temple of Light and the Temple of Machines, and they might not be truly loyal to him. However, Bliss City was currently lacking such experts. If they could be used by him, that would be the best. If they had other intentions... well, killing them was just a matter of thinking about it.

After the five people expressed their opinions one by one, Lei Chi slowly said, "If that's the case, then you can go. But don't be careless. The methods of that Mechanical God are unknown, and there must be many experts in the Mechanical Temple. Moreover, they also possess extremely powerful artifacts. Don't get killed."

"Don't worry, Master, we will be careful!"

"This mere mechanical temple can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist!"

"Don't worry, senior brother, we have plenty of combat experience..."

Everyone then made another statement, each one brimming with confidence.

Lei Chi continued, "The Mechanical Temple has collected parts of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, including the God-Slaying Cannon. This cannon is extremely powerful, capable of dealing 5 billion damage in a single strike, and it also has a mental attack component. Fortunately, it seems it cannot be used continuously. If possible, you should collect the Primordial Celestial Venerable's parts for me. Qiukas, you will temporarily act as the leader, guiding everyone's actions. You can establish a mental connection with me at any time!"

Qiukas quickly glanced at Mo Lang and the others around him, and without hesitation, cupped his hands and said, "Disciple obeys. Please rest assured, Master, we will definitely protect the safety of Bliss City. If necessary, we will just demolish that mechanical temple."

Upon hearing this, Lei Chi shook his head and said, "Don't call me Master anymore. It sounds more and more awkward. And you guys, the sect's rules are lax, so you don't need to call me Senior Brother either."

Mo Lang asked, "Then... how should we address you?"

Lei Chi said, "Just call me by my name, Lei Chi!"

"That won't do!"

"Yes, how can you call someone by their first name? That's incredibly disrespectful!"

"Since our eldest brother is the lord of Bliss City, I think we should just call him the Divine Lord!"

"I think it's a good idea!"

"Let's just call him Lord Lei Chi..."

Mo Lang and the others immediately started discussing it.

Lei Chi shook his head, thinking to himself that these guys were really wasting their time. It was just a title, was it really necessary to discuss it like this?

He stopped paying attention to these trivial matters, sat down cross-legged, focused his mind on his nose, and began his silent cultivation.

He had also reached a crucial point in cultivating his "Universal Unification Divine Skill," and dared not be careless.

A moment later, Qiu Kasi and the others left the Holy God Palace, leaving only Lei Chi and Zhao Shuibiao in the large inner disciple activity area.

Zhao Shuibiao is in seclusion.

Since leaving the Fish Dragon Lake Secret Realm, he has stayed in his cave and has never gone out.

Two days later, Qiukas and his group of six arrived at the Stormy Sea. They were completely different from the other gods of the Fighting Tribe, such as Dagos. They acted in a rather high-profile manner. After discovering the Mechanical Temple, they did not wait to reunite with the Azure Flame avatar. Instead, they shouted, "Hand over the Celestial Venerable parts and we will not kill you!" and started causing destruction everywhere.

Of course, they used the name of Elysium and called themselves the Guardians of Light.

Their combat power was also formidable. In just one day, they killed three high-ranking gods of the Mechanical Temple, causing panic within the temple and prompting the activation of the divine power barrier, bringing the construction of the high wall to a complete standstill.

Qiukas even went to the front of the mechanical temple to challenge them, becoming increasingly arrogant.

Beneath the Mechanical Temple lies a massive steel gate, much like a city gate, the only breach in the divine power barrier. However, it is protected by an alchemical array. To attack the Mechanical Temple, one must blast it open and then brave the alchemical array to break through.

Qiukas and the others clearly had this in mind. They bombarded the steel gate for a long time, forcing the crimson mech to come out carrying the God-Slaying Cannon.

Lei Chi controlled his Azure Flame avatar to appear in time and pulled the group to the back.

Qiukas had already assumed the role of "team leader" and stepped forward to speak to the avatar of Qinghuo: "Lord God, please give us some more time. We will definitely break through this mechanical temple and seize the components of the Primordial Celestial Venerable for you."

The avatar of Azure Flame said, "No rush. It's always better to proceed cautiously. Everyone, please follow me into Bliss City and take charge at Jingyang Ridge..."

After a brief exchange, the Azure Flame avatar handed over the two divine artifacts, [Shadow of Qiukas] and [Eternal Holy Light], to Qiukas.

With these people around, Lei Chi felt much more at ease and began to focus on his secluded cultivation.

His cultivation has indeed reached a critical moment.

Since the creation of his "Universal Unification Divine Art," it has been continuously improved, and now it is about to usher in another huge breakthrough.

If this breakthrough is successful, the [Universal Unification Divine Skill] is very likely to undergo a qualitative change.

However, although this divine skill is still powerful, it will not reach the level that Lei Chi desires.

The opportunity for this breakthrough came from the Hongchen Gourd and the Chaos Primordial Spirit that Lei Chi had recently cultivated.

【Chaos Primordial Spirit】was created by Supreme Treasure based on the abilities of the Twelve Witch Ancestors. There are twelve parts in total, complementing each other. This technique does not cultivate the Heavenly Thunder or the Space-Time Lockdown, but rather cultivates the "Primordial Spirit".

"Yuanling" is the manifestation of thoughts, similar to the primordial spirit, existing between the real and the unreal, taking the form of the twelve ancestral witches, and carrying the will of Leichi.

This 'Primordial Spirit' is actually formed from the thoughts of the Thunder Pool, and therefore has independence and can act on its own. If it grows up, it can become a Primordial Spirit.

When the primordial spirit goes out to act on behalf of Lei Chi, it can be called a clone.

A clone is different from an incarnation. The difference between the two is that the latter requires the control of the original body, while the former can act independently.

However, what Lei Chi was interested in was not the cultivation method of the Yuanling, but another ability that would be awakened after the twelve parts of the [Chaotic Yuanling] were cultivated.

That is the Primordial Chaos Embryo.

The primordial chaos embryo can be forged using the twelve primordial spirits.

This must be a strange and wondrous technique created by Supreme Treasure based on the effects of the Twelve Witch Ancestors Tower Formation.

The reason it is described as "strange and bizarre" is that the primordial chaos embryo can actually give birth to real life forms.

If Lei Chi so desires, this life form can become his clone.

But it has even greater power, because it is a chaotic primordial spirit born from a chaotic spirit embryo, and therefore possesses a mysterious chaotic power.

This power can cleave chaos!

Or rather, it was the beginning of a new world!

"Created heaven and earth, opened up the world!"

Inside the stone slab passage, Lei Chi spoke softly.

"A universe without life is meaningless! And what good is a unified universe if it's meaningless?"

Through the Thunder Pool's thought channel, he closed his eyes, his consciousness seemingly entering nothingness, originating from a chaotic starry sky.

In that chaotic starry sky, 1600 bright stars could be faintly seen.

This is Lei Chi's first microcosm, existing between reality and illusion.

Those 1600 bright stars represent the 1600 acupoints that have been cultivated.

The consciousness of Lei Chi is projected here as a trinity, namely the true self, the divine form of the self, and the form of the city of bliss, standing in one place, back to back, rotating like a carousel.

"The Primal Chaos!"

With a thought, the chaotic primordial spirits resembling the twelve ancestral witches appeared.

The twelve elemental spirits bowed to the triune Thunder Pool, then resolutely walked to one place, and suddenly merged into one, becoming a bright sphere.

"The Primordial Chaos Embryo!"

Lei Chi pointed at the primordial chaos embryo, and as his own thoughts were permanently and rapidly consumed, the embryo quickly changed.

Before long, the primordial chaos was torn open, and a towering giant emerged from it.

This giant looked exactly like Lei Chi, except that he was even more upright and imposing. From birth, he had a furrowed brow, showing a blank, confused and puzzled expression.

The Triune Thunder Pool said, "Primordial Chaos Spirit, I bestow upon you the name Panling! Follow my will, go to the First Star, the Wuji Star, and create the world—this is your mission!"

Upon hearing this, the Chaos Primordial Spirit seemed to understand, so it bowed to the Trinity Thunder Pool and then walked towards a star in the Chaos Starry Sky.

That star is the Star of Infinity!

This star is the first of the 129600 acupoints in the Starry Sky Divine Skill; it is the starting star.

In what seemed like an instant, the Chaos Primordial Spirit entered the Boundless Star.

To outsiders, the Wuji Star appears no different from other stars in the chaotic void, but once inside, one sees only the same scene as the chaotic void.

This place remains empty and vast, like a dark cloud, the whole world is deathly silent, with only the beast soul of his blazing giant Kun wandering within it.

"Create the heavens and the earth!"

The Chaos Giant Spirit spoke, and with a grab in the void, it pulled out a large axe.

With a single swing of the great axe, a crack appeared in the chaotic void, growing larger at the tip of the sword.

The giant axe in the chaotic colossus's hand vanished. He walked towards the ever-expanding crack and declared, "With my divine soul and flesh, I will create heaven and earth here, and forge a world here!"

The next moment, the Chaos Giant used its hands to open the crack, and then stood upright, as if its feet were on the ground and its hands were reaching for the sky, and it stopped moving.

The Trinity of Thunder Pool witnessed this seemingly real yet illusory scene. He nodded and said, "With Panling, I created the world on the first star, Wuji Star. From then on, the universe will have meaning. My Great Universe Unification Divine Art will surely achieve a breakthrough!"

In the following night, within the Boundless Star, which lies between reality and illusion, the spatial rift slowly widened in silence, and Pan Ling's body grew taller and taller.

Lei Chi carefully cherished all of this, his thoughts burning rapidly.

This burning is permanent and irreversible; once it's burned out, it's gone.

Lei Chi used to be very concerned about his thoughts, and each time he went into seclusion, his thoughts would increase significantly. But this time, his thoughts were destined to decrease.

However, Lei Chi was not heartbroken, but rather full of anticipation.

As time passed, ten years later, Wuji Star had changed dramatically. It was no longer a chaotic place, but was divided into layers, as if it had taken over the world.

Panling had already reached the end of his life.

His body slowly transformed into specks of light, drifting between heaven and earth, eventually falling into the void and onto the earth, becoming nourishment for this world and giving it the breath of life.

Even without Panling's support, the "heaven and earth" no longer closed.

"A single breath of primordial chaos!"

The Trinity of Thunder Pool gave a soft shout, and then Thunder Pool's super artifact, the real treasure gourd, appeared on the Wuji Star. The gourd's mouth popped open, and bright mist quickly flew out from it.

Then the whole world trembled rapidly, and a magical power spread quickly.

"It's done!"

At this moment, Lei Chi's mind was shaken. He could already foresee that his creation of the world on Wuji Star had succeeded! After a period of time, this world would stabilize and become a real world.

At that time, life will be able to be born in this world.

Lei Chi is the creator and ruler of this world. Everything within it is subject to his jurisdiction, and all the activities of life within it are part of his cultivation.

Lei Chi was in a good mood as his consciousness returned. When he checked the time, he realized that he had spent nearly twenty years just creating the world on Wuji Star, and the stone slab passage was about to close.

And its idea was burned through two hundred million!

This is a permanent loss! It's like having your upper limit reduced; you can't recover it through rest.

Moreover, it seems that his own qi and blood are also deficient.

"Such a consumption is not insignificant, and this is only for one Wuji Star! A small universe contains one star, which is 1600 stars, and a large universe contains at least 81 star systems, which is 129600 stars. If we were to create something from all of them, wouldn't it consume 260 trillion thoughts?"

"Moreover!" Lei Chi took a deep breath, "Twenty years of seclusion to create this small world, if we were to create 129600 more, wouldn't that take nearly two million six hundred thousand years? How difficult it is to unify the universe!"

Lei Chi sighed silently.

He didn't fixate on opening up his inner world. Once the stone passage closed on the second day, he focused on cultivating the Great Mighty Divine Skill and made up for all the losses from the previous day.

On the third day of his seclusion, Lei Chi began to create a world on the second star.

On this same day, in the main world, the Mechanical Temple finally launched an invasion of Elysium. The massive steel gates were raised, and a large number of firepower aircraft flew out first.

A series of mechs followed closely behind.

Meanwhile, on both sides of the high steel walls built by the Mechanical Temple, people were busy at work, and the steel walls began to grow longer again.

Behind the mechanical temple, space distorted, creating a black hole, from which emerged a crystalline, shuttle-shaped spaceship.
