Then, accompanied by a piercing alarm, the sound of steel grinding echoed throughout the workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A straight crack appeared out of thin air on the smooth, mirror-like metal floor, slowly splitting to both sides. Behind the crack, in the roaring, scorching wind, iron light surged and flowed, raging, attempting to break through the workshop’s restraints time and time again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the moment the final shackles were opened, the massive amount of scorching mercury could no longer be suppressed, surging out like a volcano!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless silver light rose and spread, instantly swallowing Ji Jue, raging and spreading, the shrill roar sounding like the screeching of a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, everything came to an abrupt halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue reached out his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the furnace, the liquefied mercury, on the verge of explosion and evaporation, suddenly froze, stopping in mid-air, as if gripped by an invisible hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Non-Aggression Matrix spread, and under the suppression of hand-crafted alchemy, everything was easily taken over and controlled, turning from a state on the verge of losing control into a tamed material in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isis, maintain the spiritual essence in an active state.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maintenance started.\" The soft voice rang out, \"Before the physical properties decay, you have half an hour to perform the spiritual essence alchemy work —\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue’s other hand lifted, staring at the ring in his palm. After days of purification and modification, the scarlet and pitch-black within had disappeared, replaced by a clear transparency, faint and elusive, with spiritual light flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the ring in his palm was still trembling slightly, as if, under the infusion and catalysis of Ji Jue’s spiritual essence, it understood what was about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited buzzing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time to get you a bigger house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, a crisp sound rang out from Ji Jue’s clasped hands, breaking, Dissociation Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structure of the blessed creation disintegrated in an instant, turning into ash and dust, but the moment his ten fingers spread again, countless spiritual essence circuits, intersecting like star trails, suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like an airbag bursting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After losing the restraint and fixation of matter, the spiritual essence circuits inside expanded and spread rapidly, raging in a loss of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that if the blood vessels in the human body were spread out, they could extend from one end of the present world to the other, yet most people spend their entire lives in a tiny space, never having crossed such a long distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a tiny ring, the nine-fold spiritual essence structure and the successive overlapping and connection of thousands of layers of spiritual essence circuits, if fully deployed, could even cover two football fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, in the workshop’s spiritually activated environment, countless spiritual essence circuits, thin and fragile as glass, were spreading rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a scene that would drop the jaws of countless craftsmen appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right in Ji Jue’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudely pulling at the spiritual essence circuits in the void, playing with the circuits that would have completely dissipated if a breeze blew over them after losing their medium, he easily and effortlessly established the veins, reorganized the layers, and caused that tangled mess to rapidly transform into a clear appearance worthy of being recorded in textbooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vividly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among them, the three blessings gradually appeared. After losing the restraint of matter, they were flashing rapidly. If not for the suppression of the workshop and Non-Aggression, they would probably have dissipated on the spot, returning to supreme good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, reviewing the work he was once proud of, Ji Jue couldn't help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rough, too rough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a model enthusiast looking at their first work; not doing seamless work was one thing, but why were there residual burrs on the gates? The paint was uneven, the structure was unstable, and the articulation was negligible, only good for standing there like a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it nicely, there was still a lot of room for improvement. But from the perspective of his own teacher, where did this piece of junk come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the Heaven-Bestowed Spirit brought was not only the improvement of the creation’s spirituality and the craftsman’s lower limit, but also an instinct and sensitivity that seemed to be engraved into the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overlooking all spiritual flow, perceiving all flaws and drawbacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s about time to change it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by Ji Jue’s soft murmur, in that instant, from behind him, two spiritual essence hands entangled with pitch-black flames slowly stretched out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Shadow, manifest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, all the palms reached out toward the void and clenched. Dream-like spiritual essence swords lit up between the five fingers and grew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure Jun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the revision of spiritual essence and the correction of spirituality, what could be a more suitable carving knife than Pure Jun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, four spiritual essence blades extended, unfolded, lifted, and without hesitation, slashed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tear down the old form, and build a new structure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the spiritual essence rioted, and the spiritual essence structure and blessings of the Poison Heart Ring fluctuated violently, as if they would disintegrate in the next moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structure that had already been solidified was being dismantled and destroyed without mercy, while the brand-new structure was rapidly growing and forming again at the branches...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this complex spiritual essence structure where one hair affects the whole body, everything that happened was too inconceivable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply like gradually dismantling a tricycle speeding on the highway at a speed limit of 120, then, while keeping the engine, replacing all parts including the frame, and finally turning it into a supercar, and then running it at over 300 kilometers per hour!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fusion of new and old structures, the distribution of proportions, the details of the connection, the direction of spiritual essence flow, the maintenance and catalysis of spirituality, and even the correction of the blessings themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the same instant, countless changes were appearing from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there was no stagnation; it was smooth and flowing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebuilding with Non-Aggression, dismantling with Pure Jun, destroying with Dissociation Art, and then improving the essence and catalyzing spirituality with Fluid Alchemy... The roles and tasks between the four palms constantly flowed and changed, collaborating with each other as if they were one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Isis, who was presiding over the workshop, checked for omissions, provided tools, adjusted the spiritual essence activity level, and maintained the activation of spiritual essence and physical properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among them, the real focus was the correction of the blessings themselves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Eternal Regret], [Hidden Anger and Old Grudges], [Burning Desire], these three blessings were also changing again under the correction of the spiritual essence blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blessings that had already been corrected once welcomed another correction, enhancing the stability and protection of spirituality by Eternal Regret itself, and for this, it did not hesitate to weaken the effect of returning to the original appearance. It enhanced the flow and connection between [Hidden Anger and Old Grudges] and [Burning Desire], weakened the effect of extracting and purifying emotions, and improved the magnitude and scale of release and absorption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The connection and mutual interference between the three were too complex, but in the end, they had to be forcibly incorporated into the same whole to avoid mutual conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reshaping and rebuilding, reborn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One spiritual essence circuit after another dissipated out of thin air, the Supreme Good emblem flickered, and in the cycle of life and death, the former appearance of the Poison Heart Ring had long since disappeared without a trace, replaced by a brand-new structure that even the entire workshop could hardly accommodate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnificent and vast, solemn and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if in a palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the spiritual essence composition of the Nether Sea Worm as the basic template, it was corrected again, thoroughly integrated into the four directions of boiling and surging mercury, and the two were combined into one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, accompanied by the four palms slowly clenching again, the magnificent spiritual essence circuits in the sky collapsed and folded again, and in the crisp sound of the countdown, they merged into the surging mercury and gradually disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, inside the ring, the spiritual projection that was like a ghost and evil shadow was now completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the layers of rainbow light, in the mercury, a blurred face appeared and disappeared, as if it were a deceased person drowning in the abyss, but the sleeping face was so peaceful and serene, without any resentment or sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking at it for a long time, it felt as if the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweetly sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting to be awakened and reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was just the last step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, considering the situation in Haizhou, such a creation is too crazy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the start of the third project, Isis gave a final reminder: \"Have you considered your precarious reputation and the impact it will bring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What impact will it have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue didn't care at all and asked back: \"Is there any remnant that isn't insane, any craftsman who isn't notorious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn't have been like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isis was indifferent, unable to hear disgust and resentment, still calm: \"The sky collapses and the earth cracks, it has nothing to do with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue lowered his eyes, staring at the peaceful waves of mercury:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I was young, my mother told me that as long as you do your best,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>do things a little better, your world will be a little better. The more good things everyone does together, the better the world will be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I have already done everything I could... why is this world still like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who is wrong? Is it me? Or is it this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isis was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, at least, I have understood one thing ————\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue raised his head, looked at her, and suddenly laughed softly: \"It’s already rotted to this point, why bother being tied up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having fallen to this extent, is there still room for decline? Rotted to this state, no matter what changes appear, it can be considered an ascent, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why not follow my method?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That dog thing, the Heavenly Furnace, even if there are ten thousand annoying reasons, there is one thing that is correct ———— this is the nature of a craftsman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Self-righteous, then, self-inflicted, and finally, self-reaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I can no longer endure it, then I will just do it myself, no need to be trembling, no need to look forward and backward, screw everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Project Three, start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue gave the final order, \"Get ready to unwrap your new gift, Isis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, under the restraint of the workshop’s repulsive field, the surging mercury shook again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activation stage, start!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the workshop, at this moment, at the core of Coastal Industry, the huge factory dome slowly opened, and blue light flickered on the high-voltage cables hanging in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the afternoon sun, the houses were suddenly dim, and the lights went out. To avoid accidental injury, all civilian electricity was cut off. At the same time, the towering wind power towers covering Haizhou roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive amounts of electricity passed through the cables buried deep underground, gathering toward Xinquan, and blinding blue light and sharp buzzing sounds appeared from every electrical equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the entire sky seemed to dim for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the piercing alarm, all onlookers were urgently dispersed, and then, one thick electric light after another shot out from the factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a short instant, thousands of electric lights danced, rose and fell, intersecting with each other, like a torrent, after experiencing rough spiritual essence transformation and attachment, poured into the mercury, causing ten thousand feet of raging waves in the originally surging mercury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the boiling mercury, layers of electric light surged like water, bit by bit, gradually submerging that sleeping face, until finally, it disappeared completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that final instant, it, no...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isis, opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!·!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud noise that resounded through Xinquan erupted from the deepest part of Coastal Industry. In the violent shaking and strong wind, everyone was dumbfounded, covering their buzzing ears, and turned back sluggishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the source of the loud noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or, an explosion.!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Separated by high walls, nothing could be seen clearly, but there was no fire, no thick smoke, and even the sky light dimmed, because a magnificent silver light that reached the sky rose from the ground, roaring, and rose into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a rushing pillar of heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rushing and galloping, piercing the sky, and disappeared into the thick clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bursts of thunder continued, and the magnificent pillar of silver light disappeared without a trace after just a few snaps of the fingers. But the sky did not return to brightness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because brand-new clouds slowly unfolded and covered the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless iron lights intertwined, cold and ferocious, as if an iron curtain was hanging high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the silver clouds, a pair of hollow pupils slowly opened, overlooking everything on the earth, with an expression that was both sad and happy, both resentful and sorrowful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, relying on her own eyes, she looked at the world in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still barren and vast, hollow and cruel, amidst the echoes of mourning, countless mosquitoes and flies rose and fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already, riddled with holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What’s going on?
