Tower Defense: Public Enemy

The Primordial Celestial is a super artifact. The storage space of the Technological Temple contains the [Primordial Fighter] and the [Celestial Barrier]. In addition, Lei Chi has already collected the top-tier [Heart of Magic Energy], [Eye of Primal Energy], [Life Vajra], and [God-Slaying Cannon]. Lei Chi has now collected all six components.

But this is not all the components. According to the information Lei Chi has, among the components of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, there is at least one [Primordial War Banner]. The [Primordial War Banner] is most likely in the hands of a force called "Crimson Cult Master" or a star behemoth, or it may have been lost in the starry sky.

"Without all the components, the components are just components, and the Primordial Celestial Venerable cannot truly manifest. However, having obtained two more components means that we are one step closer to the complete synthesis."

Lei Chi unceremoniously absorbed the [Primordial Fighter] and [Celestial Barrier] into his inner universe.

These two components can actually be considered top-tier artifacts. The [Primordial Fighter] is a controllable mech, far superior to Zhao Zilong's [Titanium Cobalt White Dragon], while the [Celestial Barrier] is a giant shield capable of eliminating kinetic energy impacts, and is itself incredibly sturdy.

Although Lei Chi doesn't need these two items, giving them to Zhao Zilong and the others will definitely greatly enhance their strength.

There were still many items in the storage space of the Mechanical Temple. Lei Chi quickly inspected them and was very pleased.

There are so many good things here. Not to mention the divine materials, the gold bricks alone filled ten large treasure chests.

That's not your average treasure chest, but a storage treasure chest, each with 10,000 storage compartments, and each compartment can hold 10,000 of the same type of items.

So one large treasure chest contains 100 million gold bricks, which is equivalent to one trillion gold coins. Ten large treasure chests would contain ten trillion gold coins!

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money!

"This is the accumulation of the Mechanical Temple! It's really amazing! Ten trillion gold coins! If Bliss City were to develop normally, even if those four Gods of Wealth worked themselves to death, it probably wouldn't accumulate this much in decades."

Lei Chi couldn't help but sigh.

With ten trillion gold coins in hand, it means he can upgrade the super artifact, the Golden Lotus of the Other Shore, to the next level once again.

The Golden Lotus of the Other Shore is currently at the fifth rank. It would require nine trillion gold coins to advance to the sixth rank, and he would still have a surplus of one trillion gold coins.

"We've struck it rich!"

Lei Chi bowed to the Second Heavenly Venerable and said, "Thank you for the gift, Second Sister!"

The 152 Heavenly Venerable generously said, "Take it all! Most of the items here are fake products of the rules; only a small portion are real items, which are useless to me. Take them all if you like!"

"I won't stand on ceremony."

Lei Chi simply used his devouring technique, opening his mouth and sucking in a large amount of items that flew into his mouth.

Even so, it took Lei Chi a full two minutes to clear out all the items in the storage space.

The Second Heavenly Venerable of the Fifth Heaven continued, "Third Brother, there are some more combat mechs ahead. They were automatically generated by this hall and are also products of false rules. They cannot be taken out of this world, but they still have some value in this world controlled by the Void Heavenly Dao..."

Upon hearing this, Lei Chi's heart stirred, and he asked, "The Void Heaven Dao? Does it refer to the system?"

"Yes, it already possesses the qualities of the Heavenly Dao. Those guys in the Primordial Secret Realm have calculated that if left unchecked, it will probably take another million years for it to advance to the true Heavenly Dao. Only then will this world gradually become real."

"Is that how it is?"

Lei Chi had always been very curious about what the system was, and now that he had finally met someone who knew the inside story, he naturally wanted to ask them a lot of questions.

After a moment's thought, Lei Chi asked, "Second Sister, are you from a star field?"

The Heavenly Venerable Yiwu Er shook the cannon barrel, as if shaking his head, before a childish girl's voice rang out: "No, we come from the Dragon-Slaying Empire!"

"The Dragon-Slaying Empire?"

"Yes, for you, it is an incredibly distant place, separated from here by countless universes. Without external help, you may never be able to reach it."

"Separated by countless universes? Isn't the universe unique?"

"Of course it's not the only one. How can I explain it to you... the universe actually has boundaries. Some are very large, some are very small. They also experience birth, growth, decay, and extinction. Even the smallest, newly born primordial universe has a diameter of tens of thousands of light-years and expands outward at the speed of light. In its growth process, it is often accompanied by dimensional increase, and... the emergence of the Heavenly Dao. Of course, the Heavenly Dao is what we call it. It can also be called the will of the universe, the origin of the world, the ultimate information repository, and so on."

"Is that so? So the universe actually has boundaries, and many boundaries at that... I wonder what the boundaries of the universe look like?"

Lei Chi exclaimed that he had learned a great deal today.

"The boundary of the universe is another universe! Third brother, let's walk and talk, I'll show you around."

The 1.52-meter-tall Celestial Venerable 152 slowly turned the tracks, leading the way while speaking unhurriedly: "The universe is actually very small, so small that a single grain of sand can contain three thousand universes. The reason for this is the concept of dimensions. The growth of the universe is for the purpose of increasing dimensions, and the ultimate goal of all advanced cultivation systems is also to increase dimensions. Do you understand this?"

"I don't understand!" Lei Chi shook his head decisively.

"There's nothing I can do if you don't understand. This is all the words I can use to describe it. But then again, whether you understand it or not doesn't really matter."

"Hmm!" Lei Chi nodded, but he vaguely felt that he had gained some insights.

Perhaps the universe within one's own body is also undergoing this dimensional change.

The Heavenly Venerable Yiwu Er continued, "Therefore, transcending dimensions is also transcending the universe. We divine beings are actually dimensional beings. We have our own dimensions, so we cannot be understood or perceived. I believe you will gradually understand this in the future."

"Divine beings are dimensional beings? Dimensions, dimensions..." Lei Chi muttered to himself, "Second sister, what dimension are you, and what dimension am I?"

"I'm not a scientist, how would I know?"

The tone of the 152 Heavenly Venerable was slightly mischievous. "What I'm telling you is common knowledge in our Dragon Slaying Empire. Anyone who has received compulsory education in the Primordial Secret Realm will know this. However, I don't understand anything more profound. You'll have to consult a professional Primordial Doctor or a Time-Space Lord."

"I see. Your compulsory education seems quite impressive." Lei Chi couldn't help but feel curious about the "Dragon Slayer Empire," and asked, "Second Sister, why did you come here?"

"Well, this is just pure tourism. Time travel and interstellar travel are popular where I'm from. My boss and I often travel together, but this time things went wrong. We encountered a powerful expert who had stepped into the sky, and after experiencing a series of events, we ended up here and got separated."

"So, those coordinates that my second sister sent me before, are those the coordinates of your companions?"

"That's right! Due to some reasons, I'm currently imprisoned in this mechanical temple and can't go anywhere. So I hope someone can help me find the eldest brother and the others. Third brother, you'll definitely help me, right?"

"Of course!" Lei Chi nodded. "Gatling Bodhisattva is the eldest brother, no doubt about it. I wonder what the identities of Muhammad Song and War God Vajra are?"

"We met Muhammad Song at the beginning of this trip. He was being chased by that master who had stepped on the sky. We were unaware of this and befriended him, which led to our involvement. Sigh, to be honest, that guy is really despicable! As for War God Kong, he's my boss's follower and also a divine being. The time machine, the all-night pass, repair parts, and other items are all with him..."

The Heavenly Venerable Yiwu Er spoke to Lei Chi at length, broadening Lei Chi's horizons and shaking his worldview.

Lei Chi stayed at the Mechanical God for two whole days before leaving.

The reason for this is that the Heavenly Venerable Yiwu Er "needs someone to accompany him".

In the past two days, through the self-narration of the Heavenly Venerable Yiwu Er, he has another disciple in the Divine Realm, namely Aistan, who has already gone to find Gatling Bodhisattva and others according to the coordinates.

Lei Chi memorized the location of the Temple of Technology and then quickly returned to Bliss City.

The battle in Elysium had already ended due to the withdrawal of the Temple of Technology.

The steel wall is still there, standing tall in the ocean, looking quite magnificent.

The City of Bliss is currently in a state of "lockdown".

After the great war, there are many things to do in Paradise City, and it is not receiving outside visitors at the moment. Lei Chi has not returned, which is also a major reason for Paradise City's "lockdown".

Lei Chi first returned to Mushroom Castle, met with Deedlit and the others, learned about the current situation in Elysium, then withdrew his God of Freedom and came alone to the skies above Elysium to carry out a ritual of deliverance.

Although the war had ended two days prior, it was the most dangerous invasion the city of Bliss had ever faced since its founding. While many foreign enemies died, Bliss itself suffered considerable losses, with over a thousand residents dying, including many veterans.

Therefore, this ritual at Leichi served two purposes: first, to deliver the souls of the deceased enemies and prevent their resurrection; and second, to bless the victims in the city.

After completing the ritual of deliverance, Lei Chi began to tally up the harvest.

The following day, Lei Chi categorized and stored a large number of items in the treasure hall, and gathered Qiukas, Qixinge, Zhao Zilong and others together, distributing many treasures to them.

If we're talking about pure damage output, the strongest beast tower in Paradise City right now is [Bear Ba]!

Its base attack power is 50 million, and its attack type is super physical. With the blessing of the [Great Tiger] Great Power Aura, its attack power can reach 100 million.

Its attack skill [Torrent Blast] has been strengthened, with a one-third chance of achieving a fifty-fold critical hit, and it will definitely cause area damage.

Lei Chi has tested this area damage. The damage range is within a kilometer radius. If it doesn't crit, all targets within a kilometer radius will suffer 100 million damage. If it crits, it will deal 5 billion damage to the entire group.

In Lei Chi's opinion, this attack could potentially kill a large number of main gods with a single critical slap from [Xiong Ba].

At this moment, Lei Chi and Qing Huo transformed and arrived at Little Turtle Island.

"It's time to upgrade the Golden Lotus of the Other Shore!"

Lei Chi said something indifferently, then pointed at the Azure Flame incarnation, and the Golden Lotus of the Other Shore flew out from the Azure Flame incarnation.

"Nine trillion gold coins!"

Lei Chi had actually prepared nine large treasure chests of gold bricks long ago. After a series of operations, the Golden Lotus of the Other Shore shone brightly and was upgraded to the sixth level.

The sixth-tier Golden Lotus of the Other Shore did not add any new abilities; it mainly strengthened the Other Shore World and the Lotus World.

The Lotus World can now cover an area of ​​300 li, while the area of ​​the Other Shore World has increased to 600 li.

The expansion of the Lotus World means that Thunder Pool can use the Golden Lotus of the Other Shore to collect larger objects. As long as they can be contained by the Lotus World, the lotus can be closed to bring them into the Other Shore World.

Lei Chi thought of that strange black area in the ancient divine realm where the stone disc was once sealed.

Previously, the Lotus World was not large enough, so it could only contain things like the Hall of All Beings in the Ancient Sacred Domain. But now, the Lotus World that the sixth-order Golden Lotus of the Other Shore can expand is large enough to contain the entire Black Zone into the Other Shore World.

That black zone was extremely eerie, capable of blocking divine sense. Only the Moon Gazing Beast, a colossal star beast, could move freely within it. Ordinary people who entered it could not possibly escape. It was no exaggeration to call it a rare treasure.

In addition, the durability of the Golden Lotus of the Other Shore has become even more terrifying, with a total durability of 130 trillion! Upgrading it to the seventh tier will require 90 trillion gold coins.

"Azure Flame Incarnation..."

Lei Chi returned the Golden Lotus of the Other Shore to the incarnation of the Azure Flame.

"Come with me to the ancient sacred realm. After we retrieve that black space, you will no longer be an avatar, but will become my second primordial spirit!"

Lei Chi spoke earnestly.

The prototype of the Azure Flame Avatar is the Azure Flame Pearl. Lei Chi can refine it into the Azure Flame Avatar and control it with his divine sense. The Azure Flame Avatar possesses the Azure Flame and can also store energy within its body so that Lei Chi can use it to unleash his own abilities.

However, the Azure Fire Pearl can also be refined into a second primordial spirit, making it an independent individual that can cultivate on its own in the future.

Originally, Lei Chi's main body was weak, while his Azure Fire incarnation was powerful. If he were to refine the Azure Fire Pearl into a second primordial spirit, he was worried that the distinction between primary and secondary elements would be unclear, leading to unnecessary trouble. Now that his main body is even stronger, he no longer has this concern.

By allowing Qinghuo to become his second primordial spirit, enabling it to cultivate and grow stronger, he could better guard the City of Bliss.

Lei Chi will not be staying in the City of Bliss permanently from now on. There are still opportunities there in the Holy Divine Palace. In addition, he promised the Heavenly Venerable Yi Wu Er that he would go to find Bodhisattva Gatlin and others.

The three coordinates given by the Heavenly Venerable Yiwu Er are not simple. The Advanced Light Brain has already calculated that the three coordinates point to very distant places. Among them, the location of that Mohammed Song is very likely the Tomb of the Gods.
