Chapter 21: Are the South Heaven Gate and the Lingxiao Palace for Sale? [Fifth Update]

Breaking three records in a row.

In Divine Fire value, world area, and realm...

Qin Mu had directly left behind three legendary records!

And.

The most critical thing was that the Divine Fire stone pillar clearly showed that Qin Mu had evolved a technological civilization!

An ordinary civilization that the instructors had repeatedly warned had no future!

This kind of civilization is usually chosen by academic failures who lack confidence in themselves.

The directions chosen by the top students were all exclusively transcendent civilizations!

Yet Qin Mu, by evolving a technological civilization...

Had created three legendary records!

It was highly likely that for hundreds, or even thousands of years to come, no one would be able to break them!

"A monster! He achieved Lower God before graduation!"

"So what if he achieved Lower God? The graduation assessment is coming up, and the creator is not allowed to intervene!"

"Indeed, in the graduation assessment, the creator is forbidden from intervening. I even think... he won't be able to pass the assessment in five days!"

"I just went to learn about the attack methods and combat styles of technological civilization. They mostly use machines like guns, cannons, and bombs..."

"..."

Subsequently.

More and more people began to learn about the technological civilization Qin Mu evolved.

They found that technological civilization...

Had attack methods that were too singular.

And it relied on external forces, never focusing on self-cultivation.

All attacks relied on guns, cannons, and gunpowder.

The destructive power could at most reach the third order.

Compared to transcendent civilizations, there was a chasm in combat power!

Some even believed.

In the situation where Qin Mu could not intervene...

The technological civilization would likely perish directly under the first impact of the alien race!

At the same time.

In the dormitory.

Qin Mu also heard the school-wide discussion about technological civilization.

Actually, there was one point they were right about.

Transcendent civilizations focus on strengthening themselves.

While technological civilization...

Relies entirely on external objects.

But...

"Who said technological civilization only relies on guns, cannons, and gunpowder?"

Qin Mu shook his head helplessly.

The world’s understanding of technological civilization...

Was truly too limited.

Five days later.

He would show this group of people the correct way to open a technological civilization.

Just at this moment.

Outside the dormitory, a middle-aged instructor arrived at the door with a Source Crystal.

"Qin Mu? The Principal asked me to bring you the reward for breaking the records."

After seeing Qin Mu.

He handed the Source Crystal directly to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu was stunned.

He recognized the instructor before him; his name was Sun Shengyuan.

He was a famous instructor in the school.

What surprised him was...

Chu Tiange didn't make him go to the Principal’s office to collect it himself this time.

Sun Shengyuan coughed dryly: "The Principal said... he doesn't want to see you."

Qin Mu: "..."

Actually.

After seeing Qin Mu break through to Lower God with a technological civilization.

Chu Tiange had almost become depressed on the spot.

He understood even more that after achieving Lower God, Qin Mu could not possibly change his evolutionary direction.

Therefore.

He had Sun Shengyuan bring the reward directly.

"By the way, as an instructor, I actually have a presumptuous request for coming here this time..."

After delivering the Source Crystal.

Sun Shengyuan stood at the door, hesitating.

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "Instructor, please speak freely."

Sun Shengyuan’s old face flushed, and he coughed: "It’s like this, you evolved a technological world, right?"

"That day in the observation room, we saw you build a gate that was full of a sense of technology and very spectacular..."

Qin Mu nodded: "That is the South Heaven Gate."

Sun Shengyuan’s eyes lit up: "So it’s called the South Heaven Gate! I mainly wanted to ask you... is it for sale?"

Qin Mu was stunned.

He didn't react for a moment.

What did he mean by "is it for sale"?

Sun Shengyuan explained: "I mean, is this South Heaven Gate for sale? I am willing to pay 500,000 World Coins!"

"Also, the thirty-three-story giant building you built, there is a very spectacular palace on top that can turn into a giant ship; I want to buy that too."

"No other purpose, I mainly just want to collect it. Price is not an issue..."

Listening to Sun Shengyuan’s words.

Several black lines appeared on Qin Mu’s face.

Good heavens.

His taste wasn't bad.

He actually took a fancy to his South Heaven Gate and Lingxiao Palace!

But the South Heaven Gate and Lingxiao Palace were the core of the sci-fi version of the Heavenly Court.

They contained various exquisite mechanical structures he had deduced.

Naturally, he couldn't sell them.

So...

"Bang!"

He slammed the door shut, refusing Sun Shengyuan very tactfully.

Subsequently.

After Sun Shengyuan left.

He directly summoned the Divine Fire and sat cross-legged.

He refined the Source Crystal.

A mass of gray-colored Source energy quietly entered the vast universe space.

It was suspended outside the South Heaven Gate.

"Start executing the Four Great Heaven Gates modification!"

"South Heaven Gate, deconstruct the spatial sequence, fit the southern barrier of the universe!"

Immediately after.

The South Heaven Gate disintegrated with a boom.

Hundreds of thousands of mechanical components vibrated.

Through special vibration frequencies, they were searching for the spatial amplitude of the universe barrier, then merging into it.

At the same time.

One-fourth of the Source energy was separated.

It merged into the hundreds of thousands of mechanical components.

Continuously strengthening the South Heaven Gate and the southern barrier of the universe!

"Ding! Currently repairing the universe barrier!"

The system’s voice also sounded quietly.

This Four Great Heaven Gates plan...

Was mainly because as the universe expanded rapidly, the universe barrier had become very weak.

And with the integration of the Source.

After the South Heaven Gate was deconstructed.

It reassembled.

An invisible giant gate...

Reflected in the center of the universe, quietly merging into the void.

"Ding! Detected that the southern universe barrier is rapidly strengthening. Estimated strengthening time: one day!"

The system’s voice sounded again.

Qin Mu, standing outside the South Heaven Gate, nodded with satisfaction.

There were five days left until the graduation assessment.

And the Four Great Heaven Gates would take four days to strengthen, so there was plenty of time.

"It’s just that the true spirits of the Thirty-Three Heavens are still in deep sleep..."

Subsequently.

Qin Mu looked at the Thirty-Three Heavens airborne platform again.

After being enlightened by the Source, the true spirits were still adapting to this massive sci-fi Heavenly Court.

And for the graduation assessment in five days, he could not intervene.

However, he wasn't too worried, as the defense of the Thirty-Three Heavens had been strengthened to the limit by him.

And.

It also possessed an automatic sensing and killing system.

Even if the true spirits hadn't awakened by then...

The Thirty-Three Heavens could still rely on the automatic sensing and counter-attack system to annihilate the alien race.

The sci-fi version of the Heavenly Court he built was not just a gorgeous-looking collectible!

Jiangcheng University.

World Observation Room.

Chu Tiange and a group of instructors were still observing the progress of the major worlds.

Approaching the assessment, every world was racing against time to enhance the strength of their living beings.

It was filled with a tense atmosphere of preparation.

But...

Chu Tiange discovered one exception.

In Qin Mu’s projected world.

He was standing on the Thirty-Three Heavens, tinkering with a few large gates.

Still not cultivating any living beings.

"Is this Qin Mu confident or stupid?"

Chu Tiange frowned.

Although Qin Mu had broken records again and reached the Lower God realm.

But this assessment...

Was not that simple.

The creator could not intervene.

It tested the combat power of the world.

And in his observation, Qin Mu had only equipped the thirty-three-story giant building with technological weapons.

Relying solely on these weapons...

It was impossible to block the invasion of the alien race.

"By the way, Principal, the graduation assessment is about to be arranged. The strength of the alien race..."

Suddenly.

Several instructors came over to ask for instructions.

Chu Tiange glanced at Qin Mu in the projection and pondered slightly.

He said: "The strength of this batch of graduates is quite good, so let’s increase the strength of the alien race a bit: one eighth-order, ten seventh-order."

As soon as the words fell.

Several instructors widened their eyes.

"Pr... Principal, wouldn't this difficulty be too perverted?"

Sun Shengyuan whispered a reminder.

You have to know.

In last year’s graduation assessment, the invading alien race was only one seventh-order and ten sixth-order.

And this year, it was directly raised by an entire order!

Chu Tiange sneered: "Perverted? Doesn't Qin Mu think technology is invincible? This is a perfect opportunity to tell him how vast the gap is between an ordinary civilization and a transcendent civilization!"

"And..."

Subsequently.

He turned around and looked at the world projections of other graduates.

He continued: "In this batch, quite a few geniuses have been born. Last year’s difficulty is too low for them."

Upon hearing this, Sun Shengyuan could only smile bitterly.

Indeed.

This time, because of the stimulation from that freak Qin Mu...

Lin Ge, Li Mingyi, Zhao Qiao, and others had all achieved good results.

Using last year’s difficulty to assess them wouldn't stump them at all.

But...

With this current difficulty, he felt it would make this group of graduates collapse.

However, since the Principal had spoken, he could only execute it.

"By the way, didn't you go to Qin Mu to buy the South Heaven Gate? How come you didn't buy it?"

Suddenly.

Chu Tiange pointed to the scene in the projection, where Qin Mu was still immersed in it, continuously modifying and deconstructing the South Heaven Gate.

Sun Shengyuan’s old face flushed: "He told me to get lost."

Chu Tiange: "..."

He had actually guessed this outcome.

Given the importance Qin Mu placed on the thirty-three-story giant building, he certainly wouldn't sell it easily.

But Sun Shengyuan said unwillingly: "I just thought about it carefully again; maybe it’s because the price I offered was too low. Next time I have a chance, I’ll ask him again."

Chu Tiange’s mouth twitched.

But he didn't discourage Sun Shengyuan.

They had worked together for hundreds of years.

Although it was a superior-subordinate relationship, he knew very well that Sun Shengyuan was a typical collector fanatic.

He had a near-paranoid obsession with collecting exquisite things.

Especially the machines Qin Mu modified.

They were magnificent in appearance and full of a unique sense of technology.

Time passed slowly.

Four days passed in a flash.

In the dormitory.

Qin Mu was immersed in the universe he had evolved.
