Space dictates how matter moves, whether it be light or sword qi, all material things inevitably follow this theorem. Ai Changguang harnessed a minute part of the tremendous gravity of this planet, accumulating multiple space folds on a minuscule scale. Gravity formed invisible prisms and lenses, a simple beam of sword light naturally gained the complexity of a sword array after numerous scatterings and refractions. The seven-colored sword light formed a rainbow-like ring. The clear and brilliant sword array devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, pressing down frantically, suppressing the frenzied dragon.

At the same time, invisible gravity turned into ropes, entwining around the opponent's bones, organs, and acupoints. The altered space-time affected its movements as well. The giant dragon roared, its entire body soaring into the air. Its body was like a giant whip or ribbon, flailing about in the air—or perhaps it should be the other way around. Eighty thousand years ago, the earliest soft weapons of humankind were modeled after the martial arts of the Dragon Clan. A single lash of this "giant whip" could shatter rock layers and demolish stone mountains.

The giant sword held by the dragon's tail drew splendid sword flowers as the dragon danced. This delicate sword technique, which seemed frivolous to humans, had a different interpretation in the hands of the Dragon Clan. Cold light burst forth like ancient vegetation that had budded for billions of years, exploding in an instant with a brilliance too intense to look at directly. The dragon resembled a surging tide that never ceased. The giant sword and sharp claws on its tail became dangerous man-eating beasts within the tide. Every stroke of sword qi and claw was ferocious and ruthless, yet grand and majestic.

The area where the sword array clashed with the dragon's martial prowess emitted a piercing sound, as if neither could withstand it. The rigid difference in spiritual energy made the vibrations in the air unpredictable and bizarre, making it hard to describe the strange noise.

The two formidable forces were at a stalemate. The endless essence allowed the Dragon Clan to maintain its defense in an extremely lavish manner, using ten parts of essence to obliterate one part of mana from the enemy. However, the re-woven space-time in the Primordial Spirit's Magical Domain made the rules of movement here quite different. Until the dragon could decipher this altered heaven and earth, it had no hope of striking Ai Changguang.

Manipulating the sword array drained a huge part of Ai Changguang's energy. He hadn't noticed that the seawater behind him was heating up again. By the time he noticed, a storm of high temperatures over hundreds of degrees was already brewing behind him!

Even untrained, a dragon from the Holy Dragon Abyss could grow into a Demon God, and the weakest dragon outside of the Holy Dragon Abyss was capable of Transformation. How terrifying would it be when a transformed giant dragon converted its far-traveled essence into thermal energy?

That was truly a burning of the heavens and boiling of the seas!

Black flames entwined the dragon's aura, which was rapidly dwindling. Its demon core was gradually melting, and its dragon soul was burning. Any cultivator would feel its realm falling, but Wang Qi again realized that in this world, there were beings whose combat power did not decrease even as their realms fell!

In this world, most life beings absorb mana and then use mana to amplify various types of abilities. Meanwhile, entropy-increasing demons directly obliterate spiritual energy, converting it into energy. The difference between the two was like using wood to make a waterwheel for power or burning wood for thermal energy. In terms of effectiveness, there was actually no difference.

The dragon's tail struck fiercely, and its mouth spewed black flames recklessly. Perhaps the dragon's body, which had lost the protection of spiritual power, was no longer enough to shake this Spirit Boat, but when its tail struck the Spirit Boat, a terrifying energy would be released in an extremely short time. The seawater, which had been rising violently for years, crushed the Spirit Boat with horrifying kinetic energy.

Moreover, the entropy-increasing power was expanding. Just as Wang Qi easily killed the Sea God Whale, the area of the Spirit Boat that contacted the dragon turned dull, and the Defensive Spirit Prohibition collided with the dark evil power, causing disorder and collapse. Any law would become fuel for that devastating fire. At the same time, the spiritual power inside the Spirit Boat gradually became chaotic, and the disk in Ai Changguang's hand began to continuously report errors.

"Teacher Feng, aren't you going to come out and help?" Wang Qi clutched the ship's railing. He felt he was about to vomit.

"Why panic? You're not at the point of certain death yet." Feng Luoyi seemed to have a different opinion: "Perhaps there are other 'things' watching this place, I should not expose myself."

Wang Qi tried to calm down and analyze the situation. Since Feng Luoyi said they were not at a point of certain death, it implied that in the Carefree Practitioner's view, they still had a chance.

"Heaven Creation's" white figure emerged behind Wang Qi, an unusual gravity field enveloped both Wang Qi and Ai Changyuan, and the time axis shifted again. Ai Changyuan saw everything around him suddenly slow down and asked, "Old Wang! Isn't this supposed to be used when fleeing?"

"What's the highest grade calculator you have on you?" Wang Qi asked.

Ai Changguang didn't understand why Wang Qi was asking this, but he answered honestly, "Top Grade Heavy Artifact."

Wang Qi took off the Seeking Dao Jade from his waist: "This, I'm lending it to you. Remember it's a symbol of honor, be sure to return it."

Ai Changyuan frowned: "Old Wang, what are you…"

"Prepare for the worst," Wang Qi gritted his teeth. "Next, distribute the calculators on you to Lu Qianqian or Shiqin. Remember, having a high-order calculator means having a guarantee of life!"

Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm covered the entire Divine Capital, similar to Wi-Fi signals from Wang Qi's former life. What affected the network speed was not the bandwidth of the cable or the selected package but merely the grade of the calculator. Feng Luoyi could manifest using any calculator, but the strength of the incarnation was limited by the network bandwidth—that is, the grade of the calculator.

Normally, Feng Luoyi could not care for every member of the Immortal Alliance, but under special circumstances, he could not just watch these people die.

"Also, can you give me this Magic Plate?" Wang Qi asked.

Ai Changyuan frowned: "You haven't refined it."

"Don't worry, I don't need that." Wang Qi snatched the jade plate from Ai Changyuan's palm and then ordered, "Jarvis! Corrode!"

Pink curse light surged from Wang Qi's arm. Inside his sleeve was an arm armor-like device, a container for the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body, with three Heart Demon Curse memories plugged in. The Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell flowed into the Jade Plate like mercury. The intensely swirling arrogance and obsession forcefully expelled all alien magic power, ensuring its own purity. This process lasted only a few seconds.

"Divine Capital can't receive the signal... the ship can't receive the signal either... It makes sense, after all, the sender and the receiver are no longer in the same reference frame, so receiving the signal has no meaning for both parties," Wang Qi sighed, "We still have to return to the original time-space."

Wang Qi swiped his hand over the Storage Bag, the Immortal Dao Burning Book List fell to the ground, Wang Qi pressed on this special Magic Artifact, thinking to himself, "Little Yin, I'll need you to play the role of the ship's woman this time..."

At the moment when the Twin Paradox fabricated by the Cave Heaven Comparison Ruler disappeared, the Spirit Boat was struck fiercely again, a terrifying explosion sound arose in the mid-section of the ship. Even the spiritual material couldn't withstand such an impact.

As the Spirit Boat tumbled, a faint divine power quietly shot out. It followed the Quantum Tunneling Effect and drilled into the earth's crust, streaming straight towards Divine Capital. The propagation speed of the divine power was the speed of light. By the time Wang Qi had finished a thought, it had reached Divine Capital.

"At this time, I hope my request can be processed quickly... and also, I hope the back door I left hasn't become ineffective..."

On the other end of Shenzhou Land, dawn broke, and the stars receded.

Chen Feng was observing Divine Spirits in front of Zhanghua Platform.

This was the original site of the Da Lian Imperial Palace. Since the Royal Family had perished, the Immortal Alliance did not rebuild it but instead erected the Jingzhao Prefecture here, establishing another Zhang Platform for researching the Human Dao.

Since this was the political center of Divine Capital, it was also one of the hubs of the Divine Capital Human Dao System. Cultivators from Wanfa Sect and Tianling Ridge repeatedly experimented here with the methods left by Wang Qi, even managing to create a God as the server for the entire Human Dao System.

The City God, Great Capital Governor.

This God of Divine Capital was unlike those things Wang Qi had forged; it looked dignified. The Divine Spirit, dressed in a Big Red Robe and a black gauze hat, had wide sleeves and a broad hem, with scattered, branchless, leafless flowers embroidered two inches apart. A peacock gracefully adorned its chest while a fierce tiger loomed on its back, accessorized with a goldfish bag and jade buttons on a long belt.

Indeed, it had the majesty of a high-ranking official's attire.

Chen Feng carefully savored the changes in spiritual power here. Ai Qinglan had structured the Divine Spirit's algorithms in the form of bloodline encoding, and Wang Qi thereafter mingled them. One could almost say these things were a symbiotic species of the Human Clan by now. However, these divine spirits were never born with the potential for self-awareness. Chen Feng felt that the spread of these things across Shenzhou Land might represent the next step for humanity.

He meticulously recorded everything. Suddenly, the Great Capital Governor's figure tumbled, and the official seal in his hand burst forth with ten thousand zhang of brilliant light. This was an unprecedented anomaly. Chen Feng hastily stepped back and employed the Heart Demon Curse Light to protect himself. The official seal of the Great Capital Governor almost dyed half the sky with its colorful light, a boundless divine power tilting out. The figure of the Great Capital Governor blurred, nearly unable to maintain its humanoid shape. Chen Feng quickly brought up an interface, where one restriction after another was unlocked, and one shackle after another was broken.

From afar, an anxious voice of a Primordial Spirit Master shouted, "Who is this petty thief, trying to steal the divine power of the Great Capital Governor for research!"

————————————————————————————

Wang Qi was unaware that on the other end of Shenzhou, some already regarded him as a character akin to an "electricity thief" and "fuel rat". He never had ideas of "privately setting up wires to steal national electricity" or "digging at the corner of socialism to pluck socialist wool." He had simply left a back door in the system he programmed, following the professional ethics of programmers.

Even the industry leaders on Earth did the same.

From the request for divine power support to the arrival of divine power, it had taken only a few seconds. But to Wang Qi, these few seconds felt longer than several years. The dragon furiously collided with the Spirit Boat, as if caught in a hulling machine, continuously battered. Theoretically capable of withstanding a nuclear explosion, the dragon bones increasingly cracked under the burden. Wang Qi and several others had already deployed their Protective Gang Qi, constantly colliding with the ship's deck, cabin walls, and ceilings. At that moment, colorful curse light descended, and the Heart Demon Curse power of Primordial Spirit Level enveloped the Spirit Boat, bearing this impact.

Pink light emitted from Wang Qi's arm, the curse light shot into the Jade Plate, then along this control hub, it infiltrated the Spirit Boat. The originally majestic Spirit Boat suddenly changed color, its paint becoming bizarrely colorful. Amidst the dazzling light, Heart Demon Great Curse completed its erosion of the entire ship.

Wang Qi's mana flowed fast among the six, merging with the Spirit Boat. Soon, he felt what he was looking for.

"From the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, a hub! Nice!"

The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion was an affiliate of Wanfa Sect. Its core construction also employed the Artifact Refining technique of Wanfa Sect—Yin Yang Yao. Wang Qi's mana then acted as a new reception port.

"Let's infuse the law through this port, Little Yin!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
