CHAPTER 86: CHAPTER 84: THE UNFAMILIAR FELLOW

"The dog I, the Thunder God, raised, has actually begun to think of biting its master."

Li Qing’s expression was calm as she withdrew her gaze, "Building the Tower of Babel openly."

Is that crazy enough?

The fact that she dared to use filthy words to provoke the Ancient Gods in Chaos during her coronation, at a god-worship ceremony watched by the entire world, was proof enough.

Is it foolish to call her a reprobate ruler?

It’s more appropriate to say she’s a naturally rebellious, cunning, and treacherous hero.

The intention during her coronation was very clear.

I have the courage to challenge you, the ambition to betray you, and I even dare not to revere you at my coronation!

And this is far from having courage without strategy.

For various historical records show that the ancient and vast Outer Gods cannot easily traverse the world’s Crystal Wall to descend into this inner world.

Therefore, she had enough confidence to utter those words, testing the Ancient Gods beyond Chaos.

She considered the consequences of offending the Outer Gods, but it was merely another Atabia’s god-slaying route.

She did not shy away from taking it.

This person, consistent in her nature, enjoys challenging the gods above her.

She rose from humbleness, having a miserable childhood being created and herded as an experimental subject by the Gods, leading to a twisted and extreme personality, and then began various "patricidal" journeys.

Welcoming the Outer Gods, opening the World Gate, sparking war, and then secretly attacking the terrestrial gods who created her, stealing wisdom without any reverence.

And she succeeded.

Now, she has ascended in the Abyss World, overthrowing the Creator Father God of mortals like herself, accomplishing a magnificent counterattack.

And this gave her enough confidence!

At present, the higher Outer Gods are merely a new set of gods in her eyes, and as a mortal, she can continue to overthrow them...

There are tyrants with such virtue in mythology as well.

King Zhou in the Investiture of the Gods openly wrote lewd poems in the temple, desecrating and challenging Nuwa, the creator of humanity, saying let the goddess serve him.

The plot is almost identical.

"Truly a bold fellow, lately, I’ve been somewhat complacent."

Li Qing showed some surprise:

"Before, I simply valued this little fellow’s innate rebelliousness and lack of reverence."

"With a miserable life, harboring resentment towards the Creator God, I secretly used her as a pawn to provoke Herodotus’s Age of Tree Gods, letting her roar: We are born free, who dares to stand above us?"

"Now, she has indirectly overthrown the brilliant Age of Gods with various insidious schemes, climbed to the top, and this rebelliousness actually turned against me."

It’s truly reaping what one has sown.

This sword is double-edged, and it will bite the master, killing fathers all the way, eventually turning on oneself.

"What a pity...it’s not the Atabia era anymore, where one could walk the old Tower of Babel route, build Giant Gods, and have a chance of success. I’ve long thought of having a backup plan for betrayal."

"As for the likes of you high-ups, you’ve long been under my control."

Faced with the Tower of Babel built by the opponent, Li Qing displayed an expression of interest.

Elis’s mindset was very obvious.

The Abyss World is her protective shield, allowing her to develop freely within it, accumulating madly, even building a Tower of Babel and engaging in projects that displease the gods.

The Outer Gods cannot enter, as long as she does not go out.

And her inflated confidence came even more from Earth’s three cunning states (Earth), providing a continuous flow of United States’ top technology to this Otherworld, hollowing out their country, pledging loyalty to the Abyss Monarch Emperor Elis of this Otherworld.

—She holds old U.S. technology yet wishes to challenge me!

A single person challenging the war foundation of the strongest Western nation, what have I, did to deserve this?? A small experimental laboratory civilization might truly overturn heaven and earth.

"This era is truly going to surpass Earth completely."

Li Qing knew that previously there was only bio-science here, the shortcomings were evident, but now the world’s most advanced technology from Earth has already been filled in.

This fearsome micro-scale civilization is about to begin surpassing modern human society in all areas.

Integrating modern mechanical military industry, various materials science, architecture, physics, chemistry... what kind of mythical Giant might emerge from this new Tower of Babel project??

"I am somewhat eager to see what they use for rebellion now."

Li Qing sighed deeply, with great emotion in her voice, "Let her have her moment of pride, after all, by design, gods cannot easily descend into a world inside the Crystal Wall, leaving her unscathed.... Thus, many anti-god geniuses rise in this era, wanting to resist the gods, like Atabia.... If I remove this design, allowing gods to easily reach the world, this era would not be conducive to development."

If there were no ambition, numerous heroes challenging the era, roaring against the outer walls, revered by all, would make this era a stagnant pond.

At this moment, Li Qing walked out of the house,

"With this country’s major financial conglomerates and alien civilizations as insiders... in the future, we could truly proclaim: primitive and foolish Earthlings."

This development is too fast.

Yet, it mainly is because the traitors are too effective.

When profit reaches 300%, capitalists will sell the rope for their own hanging.

He looked to the neighbor’s front door and unexpectedly saw a moving company’s large truck parked there.

Susan, the head traitor of Earth’s civilization, was commanding, "Right, right, I’ll handle that myself, don’t move it, you just carry that one!"

Workers were bustling back and forth, quite a lively scene.

Li Qing was somewhat surprised, approaching to ask, "Are you moving out?"

"Yes, Li, my apologies." Susan said, "We can’t be neighbors anymore. I’m moving away with my girlfriend."

Susan stood aside, watching the moving workers bustle about, conversing with Li Qing:

"Previously, I stayed here to escape my mother, but later my mother came chasing me, advising me day in and day out."

"As you’ve seen, I’m now taking my girlfriend to return to my family’s villa, and can’t continue living here."

This statement was part true, part false.

Previously, hiding from her parents’ daily nagging in this small suburban house was true, but now it’s obvious this place is too small, not suitable for developing subsequent work.

The basement was too small, as the laboratory continually expanded, it became unsuitable.

She had already found the perfect headquarters for a secret laboratory.

"By the way, let’s have a meal together one last time."

Susan invited her girlfriend Li Wanning, tidied up briefly, and went out for a meal.

Truth be told, Li Qing didn’t really want to go.

Li Wanning kept glancing at him, but ultimately he couldn’t refuse and went along to eat, leaving his contact number.

Returning at night, Susan’s house was already empty, people gone, houses deserted.

"Anyway, leaving was inevitable sooner or later." Li Qing did not care about Sylph’s departure, after all, being too close to Sylph was not good.

He returned home, and it was already night.

He did not go to oversee Elis’s Civilization era work; although it’s a hobby formed out of observation, going to see the sand table every day, it couldn’t always be so.

He focused more on studying his matters and superpowers.

Now he discovered he has entered the next phase of transformation.

The eyes were transforming before, now it’s the Soul Emergence undergoing transformation.

Previously, flesh and soul were fused, now he distinctly felt the existence of the soul, very strong, even capable of briefly detaching from the body.

The soul was parasitized within the Crystal Core.

But the central control of the body remains the brain.

It’s like having two brains, one managing the soul’s consciousness, the other managing the flesh’s nexus.

Lately, he’s been contemplating every day, discovering it’s a peculiar form of exercise.

Even studying some ancient books on cultivating willpower, to see if inspiration can be found, as ancient people had quite some ideas on concentrating willpower.
