Chapter 419: Gift

"Briefing: Today is August 17th, morning, mostly sunny in Haizhou, afternoon with rain in some areas, average temperature 37 degrees, climate is suitable, sunshine is sufficient, ultraviolet rays are strong, it is recommended to be prepared for sun protection."

"Ignore."

"Tianmen University Administration Office has sent another invitation, for the opening day speech..."

"No time."

"The accountant from the Middle Earth Red Bang Homecoming Knights has sent..."

"Wait."

"... Besides that, 12 unread messages, no urgent matters for now, already entered into the memo reminder, handle later,"

In the dead-silent workshop, Isis's voice sounded, steady and soft, as always.

Like the flickering light of stars suspended in mid-air, gathering and dispersing without form, every wisp of flash pulled at the surging thoughts in the Spiritual Quality Six-Phase Fire Array.

Right in the middle of the workshop's equipment, countless mercury hands flowed, controlling everything, like waves, refracting a brilliant iron light.

Ji Jue gazed at the rising flame in the furnace, budgeting the time, "Report project progress."

"Furnace core temperature is stable, mercury purification is complete, liquid spiritual quality is about to reach the evaporation critical point————Project One is complete, Project Three is in preparation, Project Two begins,"

Isis said: "Constraint field construction is complete, noise filtered, interference excluded.

Sir, you can begin immediately.

Spiritual quality liberation countdown———"

"Three."

"One"

—.

"One!"

At the moment the countdown hit zero, the furnace shook violently, and immediately after, accompanied by ear-piercing alarm sounds, the sound of steel grinding echoed throughout the workshop.

A straight crack appeared out of thin air on the smooth-as-mirror metal floor, slowly separating to both sides, and behind the crack, in the roaring hot wind, iron light surged and flowed, raging, trying to break through the workshop's constraints again and again.

And now, the moment the final shackles were opened, the massive amount of scorching mercury could no longer be suppressed, like a volcano, surging out majestically!

Endless silver light rose, spread, and in an instant, it was about to swallow Ji Jue, raging and spreading, the shrill roaring sounding like the screeching of a monster.

But immediately after, everything came to an abrupt stop.

Ji Jue reached out his hand.

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.

The non-offensive matrix spread, and under the suppression of hand-crafted alchemy, it easily took over everything, holding it, turning it from a state on the verge of losing control into a tamed material in the palm of his hand.

"Isis, maintain the spiritual quality in an active state."

"Maintenance begins." The soft voice sounded, "Before the physical properties decline, you have half an hour to perform spiritual quality alchemy work———"

"Enough."

Ji Jue's other hand lifted, gazing 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 ethereal, with spiritual light appearing.

At this moment, the ring in his palm was still vibrating slightly, as if, under the infusion and catalysis of Ji Jue's spiritual quality, it understood what was about to happen next.

Excited buzzing.

"It's time to get you a bigger house."

At that moment, a crisp sound rang out from Ji Jue's closed hands, breaking, dissociation technique.

The structure of the blessed creation disintegrated in an instant, turning into ash and dust, but the moment his ten fingers unfolded again, countless spiritual quality circuits, intersecting like star tracks, suddenly appeared.

It was like an airbag bursting.

After losing the constraint and fixation of matter, the spiritual quality circuits inside expanded rapidly, spread, and raged in loss of control.

It is said that the blood vessels in the human body, if unfolded, could extend from one end of the present world to the other, but more people spend their whole lives in a small space, never having crossed such a long distance.

Inside a tiny ring, the nine-fold spiritual quality structure and the successive stacking and connection of thousands of layers of spiritual quality circuits, once fully unfolded, could even cover two football fields.

Now, in the workshop's spiritual quality activation environment, countless spiritual quality circuits, thin and fragile like glass, were spreading rapidly.

Then, a scene that would make countless artisans' jaws drop appeared.

Right in Ji Jue's hands.

Roughly pulling the spiritual quality circuits in the void, playing with the circuits that would completely dissipate if a breeze blew after losing their medium, he easily established the veins, reorganized the layers, and turned that tangled mess into a clear appearance that could be recorded in textbooks.

Vividly before his eyes.

And among them, three blessings gradually appeared; after losing the constraint of matter, they were flashing rapidly. If it weren't for the suppression of the workshop and non-offensive techniques, they would probably have dissipated completely on the spot, returning to supreme goodness.

Once again, reviewing his once-proud work, Ji Jue couldn't help but frown.

Rough, too rough.

It was like a model enthusiast looking at their first work; not doing seamless work was one thing, but why were there still residual burrs on the gates? The paint was uneven, the structure was unstable, and the articulation was barely worth mentioning, only good for standing still.

To put it nicely, there was still a lot of room for improvement. But looking at it through his teacher's eyes, where did this piece of junk come from?

The spirit brought by heaven-sent spirit not only improves the spirituality of the creation and the artisan's lower limit, but also brings an instinct and sensitivity that seems to be engraved into the soul.

Overlooking all spiritual flow, perceiving all flaws and drawbacks.

"It's about time to change it."

Accompanied by Ji Jue's soft whisper, at that moment, from behind him, two spiritual quality hands entangled with pitch-black flames slowly stretched out.

Shadow of the soul, revealed!

And immediately after, all the palms reached out, toward the void, clenching. Dreamlike spiritual quality swords lit up between the five fingers, growing!

Chunjun!

For the revision of spiritual quality and the correction of spirituality, what could be more suitable as a carving knife than Chunjun?

In an instant, four spiritual quality blades extended, unfolded, lifted, and without hesitation, slashed!

Destroying the appearance of the past, and building a new structure!

In an instant, spiritual quality rioted, the spiritual quality structure and blessings of the Poison Heart Ring fluctuated violently, as if the next moment, it would disintegrate!

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...

In this complex spiritual quality structure where pulling one hair affects the whole body, everything that happened was too unbelievable.

It was simply like gradually dismantling a tricycle speeding at 120 on the highway, and 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!!

The fusion of new and old structures, the distribution of proportions, the details of the connection, the direction of spiritual quality flow, the maintenance and catalysis of spirituality, and even the correction of the blessings themselves.

At the same instant, countless changes were appearing from the void.

Yet there was no stagnation, flowing like water!

Rebuilding with non-offensive techniques, dismantling with Chunjun, destroying with dissociation techniques, and then enhancing the essence and catalyzing spirituality with fluid alchemy... The roles and tasks between the four palms were constantly flowing and changing, collaborating with each other, as if they were one.

And Isis, who was presiding over the workshop, filled in the gaps, provided tools, adjusted the spiritual quality activity level, and maintained the activation of spiritual quality and physical properties.

Perfect cooperation.

And among them, the real focus was the correction of the blessings themselves!

【Eternal Vow】, 【Hidden Anger and Resentment】, 【Burning Desire】, these three blessings were also changing again under the correction of the spiritual quality blades.

The blessings that had already been corrected once welcomed a second correction, strengthening the stability and protection of spirituality by the Eternal Vow itself; for this, he did not hesitate to weaken the effect of reverting to the original appearance. He enhanced the flow and connection between 【Hidden Anger and Resentment】 and 【Burning Desire】, weakened the effect of extraction and purification of emotions, and improved the magnitude and scale of release and absorption.

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, avoiding conflict with each other.

Reshaping and rebuilding, reborn!

One spiritual quality circuit after another dissipated out of thin air, the emblem of supreme goodness flickered, and in the rotation of life and death, the former appearance of the Poison Heart Ring had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a brand-new structure that even the entire workshop could hardly contain.

Magnificent and vast, solemn and cold.

As if standing in a palace.

Referencing the spiritual quality composition of the Nether Sea Worm as the basic template, he corrected it again, completely integrating it into the four directions of boiling and surging mercury, combining the two into one.

In the end, accompanied by the four palms slowly clenching again, the magnificent spiritual quality circuits collapsed and folded again, and amidst the crisp sound of the countdown, they merged into the surging mercury, gradually disappearing.

In the past, inside the ring, that spiritual projection like a ghostly evil shadow was now completely different.

In the rainbow light rippling in layers, within the mercury, a blurred face appeared and disappeared, as if a deceased person drowning in the abyss, but the sleeping face was so peaceful and serene, without any resentment or sorrow.

After looking at it for a long time, one felt as if the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Sweetly sleeping.

Waiting to be awakened and reborn.

Now, it was just the last step.

"Sir, considering the situation in Haizhou, such a creation is inevitably too crazy."

Before the third project began, Isis reminded him one last time: "Have you considered your precarious reputation and the impact it will bring?"

"What impact will there be?"

Ji Jue didn't care, asking back: "Is there any Ember who isn't insane, or any artisan who isn't notorious?"

"You shouldn't have been like this."

Isis was indifferent, unable to hear disgust or resentment, calm as ever: "The collapse of heaven and earth has nothing to do with you."

"Perhaps."

Ji Jue lowered his eyes, gazing at the peaceful light of the mercury:

"Since I was little, my mother told me that as long as you do what you can

to do things a little better, your world will be a little better, and the more good things everyone does together, the better the world will be.

But I have clearly done everything I could... why is this world still in this state?

Who is wrong? Is it me? Or is it this world?

I can't figure it out."

Isis was silent.

"However, at least, I have understood one thing————"

Ji Jue raised his head, looking at her, and suddenly laughed softly: "It's already rotted to this state, why bother being tied up?"

Fallen to this degree, is there still room for decline? Rotted to this state, no matter what changes appear, it can be considered an ascent, right?

Then why not do it my way?!

That dog Tianlu, even if there are ten thousand annoying reasons, there is still one point that is correct————this is the nature of an artisan!

Self-righteous, and then, suffering the consequences, and finally, reaping what one sows.

Since it can no longer be tolerated, then just do it yourself, no need to be trembling, no need to look ahead and behind, fuck everything!

"Project Three, activate."

Ji Jue ordered finally, "Get ready to unpack your new gift, Isis."

Just like that, under the constraint of the workshop's repulsive field, the surging mercury vibrated again.

Activation stage, begin!

Not just the workshop, at this moment, at the core of Coastal Industry, the huge factory dome slowly opened, and wisps of blue light lit up on the high-voltage cables suspended in mid-air.

Under the afternoon sun, the lights in house after house suddenly dimmed and went out; to avoid accidental injury, all civilian electricity was cut off, and at the same time, the towering wind power towers covering Haizhou roared.

A massive amount of electricity passed through the cables buried deep underground, gathering toward Outside Xinquan, and blinding blue light and sharp buzzing sounds appeared from every power transformation device.

In the end, the entire firmament seemed to dim because of it.

Amidst the ear-piercing alarm sounds, all onlookers were urgently dispersed, and immediately after, one thick electric light after another shot out from the factory.

In a short instant, thousands of electric lights danced, rising and falling, intersecting with each other, like a flood, and after undergoing rough spiritual quality transformation and attachment, they poured into the mercury, causing ten thousand feet of raging waves in the originally surging mercury again.

In the boiling mercury, layers of electric light surged like water, bit by bit, gradually submerging that sleeping face, until finally, it disappeared completely.

At that very last moment, it, no...

She.

Isis, opened her eyes.

Boom!! ·!!

A loud noise that resounded through Outside Xinquan erupted from the deepest part of Coastal Industry; amidst the violent shaking and raging wind, everyone was dumbfounded, covering their buzzing ears, turning back sluggishly.

Looking toward the source of the loud noise.

Was it thunder?!

Or, an explosion.!

Separated by high walls, nothing could be seen clearly, but there was no fire, no thick smoke, and even the daylight dimmed, because a magnificent silver light that reached the sky rose from the ground, roaring, and ascended into the sky.

Like a pillar of heaven in a torrent.

Rushing and galloping, piercing straight into the sky, disappearing into the thick clouds.

Thunder rumbled continuously, and after a few snaps of the fingers, the magnificent pillar of silver light had already disappeared without a trace. But the firmament did not return to brightness.

Because brand-new clouds slowly unfolded, covering the sky.

Countless iron lights intertwined, solemn and ferocious, as if an iron curtain were hanging high.

Behind the silver clouds, a pair of hollow pupils slowly opened, overlooking everything on the earth, their expression seemingly sad and happy, seemingly resentful and sorrowful.

Once again, using her own eyes, she looked at the world before her.

Still desolate and vast, hollow and cruel; amidst the echoes of wailing, countless mosquitoes and flies rose and fell.

It had long since been riddled with holes.

"... What's going on? What exploded?"

Gou Er, who poked his head out of the window, muttered in a daze, unable to understand. Then, he felt a sudden chill on his neck, and instinctively reached out to touch it.

On his fingertips, silver light flowed like water droplets.

"Is it raining?" he muttered blankly.

At that moment, the world was silent.

In the darkness beneath the iron curtain, endless silver light fell from the sky like tears! ===== CHAPTER 420 =====
