After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2590 Don't waste it, use it all

Therefore, after the God of Space's avatar was taken away, his divine essence could only remain in Yanxia Bay.

This awkward situation may only be resolved when He attempts to personally descend and take back the cloud platform.

The problem is, is it so easy for Helu Tian's true form to descend?
Last time, Miao Zhantian borrowed the body of a true immortal to descend to the mortal realm and invade the Upside-Down Sea. There are few true immortals in the mortal realm, so how many can the gods possess? The Lingyun Palace represents the highest level of research on divine descent bodies, but it has yet to stably produce a complete divine descent body, let alone one that a true god can use.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy concentration in the mortal realm is insufficient to support the free movement of true immortals across the heavens and earth. Even someone as powerful as Xuandu hides in the Glazed Sea, relying on the high concentration of spiritual energy to recuperate. Even if Helu Tian could obtain the body of a true immortal, descending to the mortal realm would be tantamount to imprisonment.

Furthermore, with his clone stuck in the mortal realm, could the original body possibly descend? Even Helu Tian wasn't sure.

Or perhaps other righteous gods or great deities would come and go through a lot of trouble to forcibly subdue this divine status.

This is not good news for Helutian either. Which righteous god would be willing to return a godhood to its original owner after taking it away? The Cloud Platform is incredibly useful.

The Nine Netherworlds' tactics were quite unethical, trapping Him in this predicament, neither good nor bad.

Of course, Mei Yin Shen wouldn't tell Xiao Ping all this, only telling her and Wang Maoshi: "We will find a new location, and Lingyun Palace will move away in ninety days."

These ninety days are for Lingyun Palace to organize and pack up.

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling that the task was incredibly daunting. The number of fragments of the Hidden God was enormous; just moving them all out would be a huge effort, not to mention that these treasures needed their water changed frequently with fresh seawater. Therefore, they also had to design a separate soaking system.

Then there's the issue of transportation on the road. Starfish can escape, and if they accidentally dehydrate, who knows what form they'll take...

Mei Yinshen did not know where the pain point was, and only said, "You don't need to worry about safety issues."

“…Yes.” The two could only agree.

Sigh, if Duan Heyun were here, that guy would probably stubbornly insist that there's not enough time to finish moving everything, or that the task is too heavy to handle, which would infuriate the Heavenly God to no end, leaving him with no choice but to allocate more time to him.

Wang Maoshi asked again, "Do we need to get more experimental supplies from Baisong City?"

The so-called "experimental supplies" are human embryonic sacs.

“Let’s hold onto it for a little longer until we leave,” Xiao Ping pondered. “Over the years, the experimental site has accumulated a lot of waste, and we need to dispose of it as well.”

Suddenly, the Goddess Meiyin said, "The Heavenly God Helu has arrived and asked me to relay His words: The Lingyun Palace has accumulated too many defective and failed products. Since we need to clear them out all at once, we might as well make use of them. The experiment that your puppeteer Tanjian has been conducting is to extract the essence of these unqualified puppets and divine bodies in the Lingyun Palace and then combine them with living people. By repeating this process continuously, the mutation rate will decrease."

During its ten years in Yanxia Bay, Lingyun Palace created over 40,000 experimental subjects, the vast majority of which were defective and had no value whatsoever for divine intervention. Before being disposed of, these experimental subjects were usually cut into pieces by the demon puppeteers, preserving some of their unique features, and over time they were all piled up in the freezer.

If Lingyun Palace were to relocate, it would most likely not take them with it.

Xiao Ping frowned: "Tan Jian's experiments did create a few suitable bodies, but they were weak and could not support a complete divine descent. As far as our current research is concerned, his progress is already behind schedule, and his experiments are only suitable for using up our reserves."

After seeing Duan Heyun's research results, she really looked down on the other demon puppeteers' plans.

The Heavenly God Helu was displeased: "Since Lingyun Palace is moving away, what's the point of keeping all this inventory? Clear it all out at once!"

"To consume these forty thousand+ units of inventory, we'd need hundreds of thousands of living people." Xiao Ping pondered His words, growing increasingly astonished. "You...you mean to?"

“With a massive number of mutations, a few good ones will always emerge. Duan Heyun said that, right?” He Lu Tianshen said. “Tan Jian is too slow. His experiments have never been able to expand to more samples. Now is an opportunity. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Baisong City, aren’t there? And they are all strong, healthy and of suitable age.”

Xiao Ping hesitated.

Helu Tian said calmly, "What, do you have an objection?"

"No, no." Xiao Ping came to her senses and quickly explained, "If we need to induce mutations in hundreds of thousands of living people, and there really is a perfect case like A-Lian among them, I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower to catch them all."

"You don't need to worry about manpower. The Heavenly Palace can handle it."

"Yes." Xiao Ping glanced at Wang Maoshi, knowing that the will of the Supreme God could not be disobeyed, and that Helu Tian had suffered heavy losses today and was burning with rage, most likely wanting to start a massacre.

The two had no choice but to bow and say, "We will obey Your Majesty's decree."

Helu Tian snorted and said nothing more.

Half a month later, Xiao Ping went out on business and passed through Baisong City on her way back. She saw that the city was still prosperous, and even more bustling than before. In the past ten days or so, the demand for supplies from Lingyun Palace had surged due to the relocation, which had also kept Baisong City running non-stop, and people were receiving more wages.

Despite the exhaustion and complaints, my wallet is bulging!

The residents walking on the street walk with their heads held high, exuding the confidence that comes from living in peace and contentment.

No one knew that this Taiping City, which was the envy of all, would face annihilation in just a few months.

The very beings who gave them a good life will soon be the ones to push them back into hell.

The small joys amidst chaos are nothing but illusions.

Outside Lingxu City, on Ruins Mountain.

Autumn has arrived, the maple leaves on the mountain have turned red, the sunlight is blazing, the forests are ablaze with color, and the peaks appear even more rugged and majestic amidst the magnificent scenery, captivating the pilgrims and tourists of Xushan Mountain, who are almost unable to leave.

Yes, just like twenty years ago, Xushan is still bustling with tourists, with almost no free time during the day.

The turmoil of the world in recent years has hardly affected it. It is said that the Pantheon, which Lu Yongyan, the chief envoy, just passed by, is even more popular with worshippers. The entire hall is filled with smoke, and it is difficult for people inside to breathe. However, they have to force themselves to hold back, because the spittle flying when coughing is considered a great disrespect to the gods.

Once outside the Pantheon, there are white jade steps leading to the Star-Picking Tower.

After the upheaval twenty years ago, the Heavenly Palace rebuilt the Star-Picking Tower, which looked even more magnificent, solemn, and divine under the setting sun.

Lu Yongyan strolled up the white jade steps, followed by a cloud of attendants.

When the believers saw him, they all knelt down and fervently chanted "Lord, the Lord!"

An old woman banged her head until it bled, and Lu Yongyan stepped forward to help her up, saying, "There's no need for that. I'm just like you, merely a servant of God."
