Chapter 454: Empty-Handed Scam! Drawing Another Big Pie for He He Xi!

Ultimately, the value of algorithms is limited, so Supreme Chu Yang never wasted energy on this front.

Simultaneously, precisely because of this, even after fusing the two ultimate genes, their power saw no substantial increase beyond tapping into partial forces of each sequence.

In a sense, the ultimate genes are like a skill tree, granting ample skill points.

But how to allocate these points and how to arrange and combine them for maximum potency requires gradual discovery.

Thus, during this period, Supreme Chu Yang has been researching this very issue.

Since algorithms won’t work, the best way to unleash the ultimate genes’ power is naturally through Source Martial True Body and Zhanpo Dao.

At that moment, Qi Energy Chu Yang stepped out from the nebula, his grin unmistakable—everyone knew good news had come.

After sharing, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Bodhi Tree!

The treasure meant to be fused into the forehead bone was finally in hand!

“Double blessings indeed!” Pirate Chu Yang clapped his hands.

Qi Energy Chu Yang and Supreme Chu Yang exchanged glances, both smiling knowingly.

Karl has made breakthrough progress in connecting to the Void; it won’t be long before the main universe and the Void are fully linked.

Qi Energy Chu Yang also obtained the spirit of the Bodhi Tree; though it will take time to refine, at least this long-standing problem is finally resolved.

Now, all that remains is for Karl to connect the Void, and for Supreme Chu Yang to perform a “kill the ox after the mill grinds”—seize the core data of the Great Clock, upgrade Pangu into a cosmic computer, and then implant the Bodhi Tree’s spirit.

With the Bodhi Tree’s spirit as a vessel, Pangu will elevate the Soul Palace’s tech tree to its peak!

“The true history of the Qi Energy Continent is rather surprising…” Immortal Hero Chu Yang mused.

Qi Energy Chu Yang shrugged. “It’s still just my hypothesis—though close to the truth, it needs further verification.”

“I roughly estimated that refining the Bodhi Tree’s spirit will take at least a year.”

“During this time, I’ll be able to elevate my cultivation to the peak of Dou Saint!”

“If I can use the black crystal as a medium to transform source energy into a Supreme Sea, my power will surge dramatically!”

“With that, I’ll have the confidence to venture into that spatial rift and investigate!”

Supreme Chu Yang narrowed his eyes. “I think the same—I’ve always felt the Qi Energy Continent hides secrets.”

“If we uncover these secrets, the rewards will be beyond imagination!”

“Also, what do Itachi make of the Wild Ancient Realm?”

Qi Energy Chu Yang’s gaze sharpened. “On the surface, the anomalies in the Wild Ancient Realm stem from ancient influence by extraterrestrial demonic clans.”

“But even if those beasts’ bloodlines were corrupted and turned into ferocious beasts, after countless eons, the effect should have faded.”

After all, even the Dou Emperor bloodline has thinned over time—some, like the Akatsuki Clan, have faded to near imperceptibility.

Even if the extraterrestrial demonic clan’s influence was immense, the spatial rift has been erased; without sustained power, the effect should have diminished further.

Yet in the visions shown to him by the Bodhi Tree’s spirit, Qi Energy Chu Yang saw that the ancient ferocious beasts were nearly identical to those today.

This proves the extraterrestrial demonic clan’s influence has never faded!

Demon Slayer Chu Yang’s eyes lit up. “So… the Wild Ancient Realm must contain something left behind by the extraterrestrial demonic clan!”

Qi Energy Chu Yang nodded. “Likely. But even the Sound Emperor, who controlled the World Spirit, failed to detect this—finding it won’t be easy.”

“But if Pangu can fuse with the Bodhi Tree’s consciousness, the Qi Energy Continent’s database will become complete.”

“At that point, on the Qi Energy Continent, Pangu will possess detection power rivaling the World Spirit.”

“Search inch by inch—we’ll eventually find something.”

The Bodhi Tree has existed for countless years, witnessing era after era, yet its consciousness remains chaotic, incapable of deep thought.

It’s like an infant who can open its eyes to the entire world but cannot make any judgment.

But if the Bodhi Tree gains high intelligence, supported by Pangu’s computational power, it becomes an informationized World Spirit!

“Looks like I need to step up my game too…”

Supreme Chu Yang stood, stretched, and walked toward the nebula.

“Everyone, I’ll go first to uncover the Ascension Realm!”

“Then I’ll help Karl push harder to establish the Void connection as soon as possible!”

With that, his figure vanished into the nebula.

…………

Supreme Universe, Earth.

Chu Yang slowly opened his eyes, hearing a clattering sound.

He glanced at the kitchen and shook his head with a wry smile.

At that moment, Qi Lin was bustling in the kitchen—but while she was exceptional with guns, she was utterly unsuited to be a cook.

Yet Qi Lin was stubborn, determined to prove herself, refusing Su Xiaoli’s help, only letting her advise from the side.

Su Xiaoli, who called herself a “concubine,” always treated Qi Lin as the “Empress,” and dared not defy her.

Standing at the kitchen door, Chu Yang rubbed his forehead at the chaos. “Xiaoli, aren’t Itachi afraid she’ll blow up the kitchen?”

Only recently did Chu Yang learn that back in Tianhe City, whenever Qi Lin “cooked” for him, she used a “cheat.”

The so-called home-cooked delicacies were all takeout!

Su Xiaoli stuck out her tongue, then spread her hands helplessly.

Seeing her timid yet mischievous expression, Chu Yang chuckled. “What century is this? Who still follows such rules?”

“Itachi two are both my lawful wives—what difference is there between primary and secondary?”

“Why not stand your ground and kick her out?”

Three months ago, Chu Yang held a grand wedding on Earth, celebrated across the planet, even with greetings from alien civilizations.

But for Huaxia, this wedding was unusual—there were two brides.

Yet Chu Yang had once defended Huaxia’s Shenzhou land against alien civilizations—he wouldn’t dare violate Huaxia’s laws himself.

So the wedding took place not in Huaxia, but on a small island in the Pacific.

At that moment, Qi Lin, drenched in sweat, turned and glared at Chu Yang. “Chu Yang! If Itachi dare mock me again, I swear I’ll divorce Itachi tomorrow and remarry!”

Chu Yang smirked. “Itachi’re a god—what ordinary human could withstand your radiation?”

“As for super soldiers or gods—do Itachi think anyone in the known universe, besides me, dares lay a finger on Itachi?”

“Itachi…” Qi Lin ground her teeth, furious at being powerless to fight back or argue effectively.

Su Xiaoli covered her mouth, giggling, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Chu Yang.

In daily life, she and Qi Lin got along perfectly—but Su Xiaoli never forgot where she came from. Since she’d once vowed to be only Chu Yang’s concubine, she dared not ask for more.

Simply entering the wedding hall had already filled her with boundless satisfaction.

Compared to her ancestors of the Fairy lineage, she was undoubtedly the luckiest.

After teasing her a few more times, Chu Yang returned to the living room, flopped onto the sofa, stared at the ceiling, and established a link with the Celestial Computing Cluster.

“Oh? Isn’t this the groom?”

He He Xi’s teasing voice echoed in his ear. “Aren’t Itachi off honeymooning with your two little wives? Why suddenly think of this old woman?”

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, smirking. “Hmm… that sounds suspiciously sour.”

“Pfft!” He He Xi spat. “The gods who chased me could line up from Angelic Capital to Line 19—who cares about your jealousy?”

Since they began jointly studying the Ascension System, Chu Yang and He He Xi’s relationship had grown closer.

But both were gods—no clichéd love stories bloomed; they merely teased each other constantly.

Without further jest, He He Xi demanded bluntly: “By the way, grant me access to Pangu’s black hole engine—I’ve gained new insights into black holes and want to reinforce Line 19.”

Chu Yang grumbled. “Itachi’re always asking for Pangu’s permissions—why not just ditch the Celestial Computing Cluster?”

Still, he granted He He Xi access.

He He Xi was already operating, half-heartedly saying: “If Itachi’d just give me Pangu, I wouldn’t mind trading it for the Celestial Computing Cluster.”

Chu Yang smiled softly. “If Itachi uncover the secret of the Ascension System—or pinpoint its location—I’ll upgrade your Celestial Computing Cluster to Great Clock level.”

He He Xi fell silent for a moment, then said seriously: “Itachi mean it?”

“I always keep my word,” Chu Yang said, a fox-like grin spreading across his face.

He He Xi took a deep breath. “Wait for my news.”

“Itachi already have a lead?” Chu Yang feigned surprise.

He He Xi smirked. “Indeed—but fully locking the Ascension Realm’s location still requires time.”

“Since Itachi’ve offered such a generous reward, I’ll spare no effort to drastically shorten that time!”

“Fine! I’ve been sincere with Itachi, yet Itachi’re hiding things from me!” Chu Yang’s tone sounded furious, but his grin widened.

“Itachi just said—if I pinpoint the Ascension Realm, Itachi’ll upgrade my Celestial Computing Cluster!”

He He Xi spoke with mock sarcasm. “Surely the Supreme God won’t go back on his word?”

“Who in the known universe doesn’t know Chu Yang keeps his promises?” Chu Yang snorted.

He He Xi suddenly asked seriously: “Seriously—can Itachi really upgrade my Celestial Computing Cluster to Great Clock level?”

Though Chu Yang created Pangu, comparable to the Great Clock, that didn’t mean he could replicate another such celestial computer.

After all, until now, the known universe had only ever had one Great Clock—even Karl, after years of research, had failed to create a second.

Glancing at Qi Lin and Su Xiaoli entering the room with dishes, Chu Yang said casually: “The terms are laid out—I can’t promise success, but Itachi’ll find out by trying.”

“That’s all—signing off.”

With that, he severed the connection.

Placing the dishes on the table, Qi Lin glanced at Chu Yang suspiciously. “Why are Itachi smiling so slyly?”

Chu Yang blinked, touched his face, then asked Su Xiaoli: “Uh… is it really that sly?”

Su Xiaoli hesitated, then nodded, unable to suppress a laugh.

Chu Yang’s face darkened. “Eat your food!”

As He Xi had suspected, Chu Yang’s creation of Pangu was the result of integrating numerous essential factors.

But he currently lacked the ability to replicate another celestial computer comparable to the Great Clock.

However, if he could obtain the core technology and data of the Great Clock, and use the spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree as a vessel to fully upgrade Pangu, it would no longer be difficult.

So in truth, Chu Yang was completely pulling a fast one.

He had no intention of breaking his word, but even if He Xi could locate the Ascension Realm in a short time, Chu Yang would wait until Karl connected to the Void and handed over the Great Clock before helping her upgrade the Heavenly Base Computing Array.

Chu Yang wasn’t worried she’d suspect him, because the last grand promise he’d made her was to upgrade her Heavenly Base Computing Array to the level of the Sacred Knowledge Vault.

Although that matter had been delayed for a while, Chu Yang ultimately kept his promise.

…………

Angel Nebula, Line 19.

He Xi, while reinforcing Line 19 with Pangu’s black hole algorithm, paused in surprise, then smiled faintly as she came to her senses.

“So Itachi already had a way to replicate the Great Clock—and still had the nerve to accuse me of hiding things!”

After completing the reinforcement of Line 19, He Xi established communication with Zhi Xin on Ferroza and asked: “Zhi Xin, is Zhao Xin with Itachi?”

“Uh…” Zhi Xin hesitated. “Wait a moment.”

After a short while, Zhi Xin spoke again: “I’ve now put distance between us and blocked all communications.”

He Xi asked: “Have Itachi figured out the data I asked Itachi to analyze last time?”

Zhi Xin replied: “Based on the data, I’ve narrowed it down to three hundred and forty-five suspected coordinates.”

“But Tianxin System’s computational power is limited, and without precise judgment of subdimensional data, there are still thirteen thousand uncertain coordinates.”

He Xi smiled in satisfaction. “Just using the Tianxin System to reduce the original billions of coordinates to just over ten thousand—Itachi’ve done excellently.”

She snorted. “Chu Yang is truly stingy. Itachi’re now a warrior of Earth, yet he refuses to upgrade your Tianxin System!”

Zhi Xin spoke awkwardly: “Uh… Teacher… the Tianxin System was built by me for Ferroza, not for Earth…”

“Alright, alright, I know Itachi two adore him…”

He Xi sighed. “Once my Heavenly Base Computing Array upgrades again, I’ll upgrade your Tianxin System.”

“Send me the filtered data—I’ll handle the rest myself!”

With that, she ended the communication.

Zhi Xin stared blankly, wondering if she’d misheard.

Her teacher’s Heavenly Base Computing Array was already comparable to the Sacred Knowledge Vault—what level would it reach after another upgrade? Would it rival Pangu and the Great Clock? (End of Chapter)
