Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone

Chapter 1065 - 485: The First Base

"This pit is hard to fill.""And then?" Gao Huating’s eyes sparkled, already predicting what Gao Huating would say.

Sure enough, what Gao Huating said was exactly what Gao Huating thought.

"We can create an enemy out of thin air."

Gao Huating spoke with enthusiasm:

"For example, we can pretend and create some kind of beetle that can devour treasure mines.

"Actually, we’re just using mechanical bodies to mine.

"Or we could design a kind of mechanical species like beetles or small demon beasts, use them for mining and secretly transport it back. If discovered, just treat them as demon beasts and destroy them or have them self-destruct."

Wang Jixuan hesitated to speak.

"Are you looking for... ta-da-da-dum!"

Mu Dan projected a photo on the big screen that everyone was very familiar with.

Blade Beast.

Gao Huating blinked: "Oh right, Blade Beast, one of its designed purposes is to mine and plunder resources, then spread fear to consolidate the Spirit Cultivators’ reign over that Star Domain... quite similar to our goal."

Wang Jixuan shook his head: "Releasing Blade Beasts directly might attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao."

"We can create something else, like Gold-eating Beetles."

Mu Dan laughed:

"Mechanical for the body, artificial intelligence for the soul, spiritual energy circuit for power supply, then surround it with some demonic qi, indeed, we can create a group of demon beasts for mining.

"We can do it as secretly as possible."

"Then, let’s try it."

Wang Jixuan nodded in agreement.

Mu Dan handling the follow-up would be enough.

"The first difficulty is dealt with," Master Wang tapped his finger on the table, "the second problem is these six Loose Immortals."

Zheng Shiduo sneered twice: "Why not use a honey trap on them? I’ll be the handsome guy!"

"Give it a rest!" Red Snake kicked over.

Zheng Shiduo and the chair flew dozens of meters, picked up the chair, and scurried back, still grinning cheekily.

Amina said: "Actually, building a good relationship with them could benefit our future development."

"They can’t know that we are plundering the resources of this realm."

Wang Jixuan tapped his left hand fingers on the table in sequence:

"They will stay in this realm for a hundred years.

"And they’re coming from the Immortal Realm, traveling the Immortal Spirit Road controlled by Tianluo.

"It’s really not easy to deceive them.

"We’ll just have to get close to them and try."

Amina asked: "Can you still use your puppet?"

"Recovered some," Wang Jixuan sighed, "primarily lacking sufficient soul power to refill the Alien Soul, it can only recover slowly, I can’t go around committing indiscriminate killings."

Amina earnestly said: "I can be your dirty hand; if it’s for development and to avenge those Immortals, I don’t mind doing some dirty work."

"Unnecessary."

Wang Jixuan firmly said:

"Our development comes first, but never at the expense of innocents.

"This isn’t about being indecisive or timid, it’s a line we must stick to.

"If nobody offends me, I won’t offend others. If someone offends me, I must retaliate. This principle cannot be shaken."

Everyone showed a slight smile.

Wang Jixuan sighed lightly, closed his eyes, concentrating on the position in his arms where the Stone of the Past should have been.

The Stone of the Past couldn’t reach this space-time.

He also had no way to actively contact Senior Bai Gu right now.

Wang Jixuan actually had another concern.

Mining too much, or altering the terrain of this Realm too much, does it count as having too great an impact on the current space-time?

Wang Jixuan knew that when the Heavenly Dao previously coordinated the impact on the world, it primarily evaluated the degree of ’changing terrain’ and ’environmental influence’, the proportion of ’living beings related’ was not very high.

’No matter, if we want development, we must mine. Without mining, where would the basic material come from?’

Wang Jixuan slapped the table and stood up.

"Dismissed, that’s all for discussion today. If you have any ideas, tell me promptly. Tomorrow, I’ll go find that Fat Immortal, mainly to investigate the truth. If I can establish a good relationship, that would be ideal."

Everyone nodded simultaneously.

Amina asked: "Shall I accompany you? I’m your junior sister."

"No need, I’ll just say you’re in the Southern Border Secret Land for healing," Wang Jixuan said, "Mu Dan, prepare me a script, a moving one."

"Understood!"

...

That night, Master Wang walked with his hands behind his back within the base.

The passages were empty, occasionally spotting patrolling mechanical squads, striding along with laser guns, dutifully performing their assigned tasks.

Wang Jixuan felt inexplicably downhearted.

It was due to the pressure.

Hidden in time, it was his last retreat, there was no retreat left for him.

Mu Dan mentioned that their time travel might easily cause a butterfly effect, producing indescribable impacts on the ’present world’ they came from.

Such an impact, once affecting the entire space-time system, might also entangle them in the shear force of time and cause and effect.

Without being extraordinary individuals, they couldn’t transcend from it.

’Sigh, Immortal Realm.’

Wang Jixuan’s eyes fell on the fragments of the battle among those Great Powers.

He too wanted to become that kind of existence.

He too desired to stand on a high mountain, back to the masses.

He too wished...

Forget it, daydreaming is useless, better to climb step by step.

Wang Jixuan had been wondering recently if he was now a chess piece of Senior Bai Gu, used to take revenge on enemies of the Immortal Realm... wait.

But after thinking it over, Senior Bai Gu indeed had never actively interfered with him.

He, himself, sought the road ahead;

He, himself, requested that piece of Ye Zi to deal with the threat posed by Linglong Fairy.

He, himself, overcame great difficulty to open the Stone of the Past, disturbed others’ seclusion, never really got any hint.

’Sigh, strength.’

Master Wang inspected himself internally.

Once he steps into the Mahayana Realm, reaching the Perfect Mahayana Realm is just a matter of time.

The next thing he could do was simply to make his mana more abundant, his Dao Body more fulfilled, and to increase his integration with the Great Path.

He has ninety-eight percent confidence in crossing the Heavenly Tribulation now.

--- Acknowledging nine-tenths confidence, but not full, is avoiding boastfulness.

But crossing the tribulation here in the current space-time is absolutely impossible, being watched by the Heavenly Dao might lead to exposure.

Meanwhile, Wang Jixuan had already started pondering what exactly the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Net Heavenly Dao were...

Wang Jixuan always felt these two consciousnesses were somewhat different from the real Heavenly Dao.

"What are you worrying about?"

A gentle voice, clear as a oriole’s chirp, came from the side.

Wang Jixuan looked up, just in time to see a graceful silhouette in the passage above.

Amina, having just bathed, wearing a simple tube dress, towel drying her wet long hair, stepped out from her room, standing by the railing, looking down at him.

Wang Jixuan shrugged: "It’s just those issues, the Heavenly Dao, space-time, development, all these things are making my head spin."

"Wait for me."

Amina turned back to her room, and within minutes, she blew dry her dark blue hair, casually bundled it, changed into a plain white mermaid dress, and slipped on a pair of thick-soled sandals, landing beside Wang Jixuan.

"I’ll accompany you."

"Thanks, Junior Sister Qingyue."

Wang Jixuan squinted, smiling, as he led her towards the base exit.

By the cliff overlooking the sea, there’s an observation deck offering a view of the azure sea and sky, the environment quite good.

The two became more familiar with each other, finding casual topics easy to converse on, like the subsequent modification of the Core Circuit, or whether she could tread another path of cultivation.

Their figures gradually moved away.

Inside the base control room, Mu Dan tilted her head, watching the scene projected on the screen, slightly stunned.

Next to her, while sketching and studying the ’Demon Mining Car’, Gao Huating glanced up, whispering: "The teacher and the second mistress’s relationship seems to be progressing smoothly."

"Sigh," Mu Dan said wistfully, "even if I put on the best synthetic skin, the boss will never see me as a real woman."

"A bed-warmer should have the consciousness of a bed-warmer."

Gao Huating giggled:

"Look at me, don’t I lack any such worries?"

Mu Dan playfully rolled her eyes: "Go draw your diagram, little girl who can’t even face her own heart!"

Her voice just fell, when the screen beside suddenly flickered with light.

Both looked over simultaneously, highly tense, and the projection screen showed a White Crane passing through the secret sentry post on the Southern Border, carrying bits of Immortal Light, soaring forward.

"Wow, looks like their date won’t be happening."

Mu Dan said happily.
