Immortality begins with meditation puppets

"Have you heard? A new guy has emerged at Base Five. His divine weapon, the Silver Tiger, can fly in the sky!"

"Let it fly! There are plenty of flying divine weapons out there, one more won't make a difference!"

"It doesn't fly on the ground, it really flies in the sky, the real sky, above the ground, facing the red moon, attracting countless humans and demons to come out, and even a fifth-level evil god leading the team, but none of them could do anything to it."

"That's quite impressive. Has the weapon technology at Base 5's weapon factory reached this level? They can even manufacture level 5 weapons?"

"What divine weapon? That's the Colossus, slightly inferior to the Three Divine Weapons of Salvation, but it's still a Colossus created by God!"

The endless desert, barren of resources, is a useless place even demons despise. Yet, beneath it, more than seven million creatures thrive and multiply. This is the headquarters of the Survivors Alliance, and also the No. 1 underground base.

The towering, dark locust trees form a natural barrier against the invasion of the crimson moon. However, the dark forest is perpetually filled with lingering miasma, haunted by malevolent spirits and deadly beasts, making it a death trap for all living beings. Yet, beneath this forest, over four million people stubbornly survive. This is the Second Underground Base.

In the lifeless seabed, the fish-bone demons, corrupted by blood demon worms and rotting away into skeletons, wander aimlessly, oblivious to everything. But beneath a certain trench, behind a dark iron gate the same color as the seabed, lies the underground Base No. 3, where the seeds of life are preserved, housing over two million humans and four to five million animals and plants.

In the heart of the earth, the former center of humanity, a bustling metropolis, is now deserted, yet its liveliness is no less than before. Countless demons and humans, their bloodshot eyes no longer human, roam the city, sniffing out the traces of other creatures. But where they dare not go, beneath the flesh and blood castle where the great evil gods reside, lie lurking—the underground base number four built by over 300,000 humans.

Enveloped in mist year-round, even demons would lose their way in this misty, unknown land of the Lost Wilderness, beneath which lies the Fifth Underground Base.

These five underground bases are the last remaining sparks of life in this world.

After the appearance of the Red Moon, they were forced to move underground, never seeing the light of day again. Having become accustomed to darkness, they longed for light.

Even the slightest glimmer of hope can inspire everyone.

Right now, from within Base Five, the silver giant tiger, shimmering with light and lightning, flew out from underground, ignoring the invasion of the red moon. On the surface, beneath the red moon, it fought against countless humans and demons, and even slew a demon god.

All the underground bases, the entire elite weapon divisions, and the elite weapon engineers were trembling with excitement.

The Colossus is a perfect creation unlike anything humans could make. It possesses lines as fluid and natural as those of living beings, exceptional combat intelligence, and mystical powers akin to those of a divine beast.

Like the three divine weapons that saved the world back then, after years of disappointment, they reminded everyone of the legend of the Chosen One appearing and the divine weapons of salvation emerging.

And just as their minds were racing, to the point that their spirits began to waver.

A divine sense instantly connected with all of them from the No. 5 underground base.

"I am Su Qing. Don't panic, everyone. You are currently in the divine consciousness network I have established. You can use this network to communicate in the future. For now, don't say anything, just listen to me."

In light of the current situation in the spiritual realm, I have made the following arrangements.

First: From this day forward, all base engineers will be required to dedicate ten hours each day to my divine consciousness network, where I will instruct you in rune techniques.

Second: Starting today, all Divine Soldiers from each base who have reached level three in mental strength must also come to this Divine Sense Network every day to temper their spirit and train their mental strength. Those who reach level four or five in mental strength will have a Divine Weapon tailored for them by me.

Third: Starting today, all divine weapon factories in each base will receive production orders from me to produce prototype divine weapons according to my needs, maximizing the use of existing resources.

Fourth: Starting today, I will forge divine weapons to connect the five underground bases in order to integrate the resources and talents of each base.

Fifth: From this day forward, all bases need not engage in pointless battles with the humans and demons. Our opponents are not the humans and demons, but the evil spirits. Our battlefield is not on the ground, but above the red moon.

"Develop in peace. Within ten years, I will lead you out of the underground; within a hundred years, I will lead you into the Red Moon, restoring this world to its former glory of clear skies and bright sunshine."

The sudden sound in their minds startled all the creatures in the five underground bases.

After a moment of stunned silence, I was first startled.

They feared that the voice was from an evil spirit, and that it would harm them all.

But then they realized something was wrong. If the demon had the ability to link the minds of all of them, it would have already led its followers to attack and wipe them out in one fell swoop, or directly corrupted them all and turned them into human demons.

This linked their divine senses together, and they sensed no malice whatsoever. Therefore, their divine senses resisted it without any resistance, allowing it to connect easily.

A startled person turned into a delighted one.

Since the five underground bases together contain tens of millions of people, one person's divine sense can connect with all of them. The strength of this person's divine sense is unmatched by any human in the 180 years since the Red Moon rose. At the most conservative estimate, this person's divine sense should be at the peak of level five.

The presence of such a powerful figure, coupled with this divine consciousness network that connects everyone and allows for seamless communication, is already an excellent thing for everyone in the underground base.

What's most surprising is that as soon as this person appeared, he claimed to be the leader of the survivor alliance, and with just a few words, he ordered everyone in the five underground bases to obey his commands.

How can he be so shameless!

This attitude should be the most questionable, because the leaders of the Survivor Alliance and the base commanders of the various underground bases are people who have made outstanding contributions to their respective bases and all of humanity in the struggle against the demons. Only by holding high positions and issuing orders can they have the qualifications and prestige to be convincing.

As a newcomer, even if you are quite capable, you should honestly start from the bottom and gain experience for a few years before slowly moving up.

After all, although the current situation of the human race allows capable people to rise to the top, capable people may not necessarily have the corresponding mindset and wisdom. If they are casually parachuted into high positions, no one can guarantee what kind of actions an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man can lead everyone to take in a moment of impulsiveness. And the human race can no longer afford the price of failure.

Logically, people should have some resistance to this young man who spoke in the tone of the leader of the Survivors' Alliance. After all, he was parachuted in, but he immediately wanted to sit in the highest position of the human race and make everyone do things according to his will, which was somewhat unacceptable to many.

What left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment was that no one felt any resistance whatsoever!
"Why do I feel like listening to him is just a matter of course?"

"Doesn't it feel like you've found your backbone? That's exactly how I feel. I feel that questioning his decisions is irresponsible to yourself, to everyone, and to the entire spiritual world!"

"Damn it, is this kid born to be a leader?"

"Do you think he might be one?"

Who could he be?

He was an underground civilian who had lived in the No. 5 underground base for eighteen years, doing only basic auxiliary work.

He is a level-five divine weapon master who has been recognized as a master by the giant divine weapon spirits. He is a spiritual giant whose divine consciousness connects all living beings, helping everyone to build a network of divine consciousness for communication.

This is the information currently available about Su Qing.

At this moment, almost everyone is speculating about one of his possible identities.

The master of the three divine weapons that saved the world is also the one they claim to have created the divine weapon manual. In terms of divine weapon skills, no one in the entire universe can surpass him. He is the only chosen one who might be able to save them from fire and water!
Although everyone's gazes were fervent, few voiced this speculation.

For the past 180 years, they have mistakenly identified hundreds or thousands of chosen ones.

As they were discovered one by one, they all demonstrated extraordinary talent.

The first engineer to forge a divine weapon, with such a brilliant mind, how could he not be a chosen one?

The first Divine Weapon General to activate a Level 4 Divine Weapon, with such strength, how could he not be a chosen one?

The first person to lead everyone in establishing an underground base to shelter the surviving creatures on the surface—with such strong leadership, how could he not be a chosen one?

In addition, he was the first to establish a spiritual link with plants and animals, communicate with them, make them an aid to humanity, establish a united front of all living beings against demons, and discover the Divine Holy Stone that has the effect of restraining evil spirits...

When these people appeared, everyone placed great hopes on them.

However, it was later discovered that although they were all outstanding individuals, they were still just human beings and could not do things beyond human limits, such as activating the Giant God Weapon like Su Qing, or having the powerful divine sense that connected tens of millions of people at the age of eighteen like Su Qing.

After experiencing many disappointments, people have learned to control their emotions and are no longer so eager to believe that someone is the chosen one.

Whether that's true or not, we'll see what he does next. The true chosen one can always do things that others cannot.

What Su Qing is doing right now is something that others cannot do.

But compared to the creation of the first divine weapon engineer and the first divine weapon general, it's not much different.

In contrast, what makes them seem more like chosen ones is their ability to win over everyone's hearts and make everyone obey their commands involuntarily.

Even some of the fifth-level divine soldiers, with their powerful spiritual perception, felt that when this person gave orders, the entire world seemed to be cheering and trembling for him.

Inside the No. 5 underground base.

Using a divine consciousness network, Su Qing connected with everyone, gathering the power of the masses to activate the Human Emperor's Dao Pattern effect, instantly twisting people's hearts into a knot.

It has now been introduced into the most important weapon research and development center of Base Five.

Here, over a thousand engineers working on advanced weaponry all stood up the moment he entered the research and development center, fixing their gazes on him.

Within the underground base, the highest level of divine sense did not belong to the Divine Weapon Generals, but to these Divine Weapon Engineers. Only those with powerful divine sense could utilize computing power hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the world's most advanced computers to analyze and comprehend the obscure and difficult-to-understand runes on the Divine Weapon Manual.

At this moment, the more than one thousand divine weapon engineers with the strongest divine sense in the underground base all focused their divine sense on Su Qing alone.

They only felt as if they had touched the deepest ocean and the vast starry sky, but could not reach the edge of its divine consciousness. They only saw hazy and indistinct beautiful scenes, mysterious and powerful, just like others.

His spiritual sense couldn't compare to theirs, but he was still quite young. Even if he was born with knowledge, he would definitely be inferior to them in terms of runes.

Some engineers, however, were still somewhat unconvinced, not believing that this young man was capable enough or qualified to guide them in studying runes.

However, after Su Qing stood in front of the stage and finished reviewing their research results on runes and divine weapons over the years,

They then realized that the gap between their divine sense and Su Qing's was far less than the gap between them and him in terms of runes and divine weapons.

He used a prototype of a divine weapon as a teaching material, and manipulated the wooden spirit of the divine weapon with his divine sense to begin drawing runes on the prototype.

This stroke depicts a level-five exorcism rune that they have yet to conquer.

That stroke was a spatial rune that they had tried for many years to comprehend, a rune that could be made to change size at will.

His skill in material runes has reached the sixth level. He can easily draw basic runes such as Mountain Moving and Sky Soaring, and his works are of a very high level. He doesn't bother to draw runes below the fifth level.

What's most amazing is the final rune he left behind.

That seemed to be the most dazzling pearl in the divine weapon industry, the Creation Rune, as recorded in the Divine Weapon Catalogue.

The core runes for creating colossal weapons are those that endow them with the power of creation, giving them living beings-like bodies and wisdom.

And Su Qing, right in front of them, easily drew the Creation Rune, which they had studied for 180 years and still had no breakthroughs in, not even understanding the most basic rune patterns. He drew a level six one.

The shock continued after all the rune plating they considered incomprehensible was completed.

What appeared before them was a golden-armored roc, full of mythical and fantastical elements.

The divine weapon, once completed on the first day, gleamed with lightning and spoke.

"A filthy and weak world, with feeble and helpless creatures, yet fortunate enough to receive the attention of my great master. Mortals, are you ready to receive the fortune bestowed upon you by my great master?"

As soon as the divine weapon opened its mouth, Su Qing immediately covered it, depriving it of the right to speak.

Such an inflated personality clearly indicates that there was a problem when the creation runes were drawn.

This is normal, because his physical strength is limited and he cannot draw the talismans himself. He can only use the divine weapon to draw them. Some details were not handled well, which caused the brain of the divine weapon Peng God, which was made based on the fifth-order Peng Heaven Puppet, to have some problems.

However, there were minor flaws, imperceptible to outsiders, which did not diminish the awe of all the weapon engineers who witnessed its creation. (End of Chapter)
