Chapter 1085: Chapter 829: The Final Preparations
In the Central Continent Divine Palace, a swirl of multicolored clouds suddenly spun, as the Goddess Ao Jue broke through the void, gracefully traversing layers of clouds, slowly landing on the grand square in front of the majestic palace.
Before her stood the ‘Universal Divine Hall’, the main structure of the palace, sprawling over a hundred acres, towering like an ancient mountain, exuding mystery and solemnity. At its top, gigantic clock gears and a Void Bone Spear hovered, symbolizing the supre authority of the cosmic dual gods.
Ao Jue furrowed her brow slightly and walked into the splendidly adorned divine palace with a solemn expression.
Inside the deep core of the hall, beyond the veiled Cloud Platform, two gods sat. To the right was a woman clad in silver armor, with an inverted hourglass hanging from her hair, light around her crystallizing as ti seed to freeze like a stagnant stream, even the twinkling stars beca still images.
On the opposite side was a man with fiery red hair, his surrounding space constantly fluctuating. With every breath he took, the space around him resembled a boiling lake, folding, twisting, reassembling, surging energy crashing in all directions, breaking established rules.
—These were the Central Abyss, Ao Jue’s Father God and Mother God.
But at this mont, their gazes upon her were extrely cold, filled with displeasure and dissatisfaction.
Ao Jue, her heart tightened, knelt down: “Child Ao Jue, pays respect to Father God and Mother God!”
“Rise.” The silver-armored goddess’s voice was like thunder from the ninth heaven, deep and majestic: “Judging by your grave deanor, it seems your mission was not very successful?”
“I indeed failed the mission bestowed by Father God and Mother God.” Ao Jue replied with a bitter smile: “Mother God, the Master of Light said his Radiant Holy Altars are absolutely not for sale, nor can they be relocated to the Heavenly Demon Origin. This is firstly due to his covenant with All Gods, and secondly because the Radiant Holy Altars are crucial to both him and the Light God Sect.
The Master of Light only promised to expedite the construction of the remaining nine Artificial Sky Curtain Bases, completing and delivering them within five days. Moreover, the Light King Sect has eight completed Jingyi Altars that have not been connected to the network. Once connected, he can grant us the highest dispatch authority, provided that during the Heavenly Curtain War, both of you extend your protection to the believers and the Divine Domain of the Light King Sect as much as possible.”
Upon hearing this, the two gods of the Central Continent beca even more stern.
They knew that in the past six months, Lin Rui had crafted eight more Jingyi Altars with the permission of All Gods.
Yet even including the 45 still unconnected bases they held, plus the nine nearing completion, the total capacity of the Artificial Sky would only increase by three billion, still insufficient to accommodate their double divine True Spirits.
But this ally had indeed fulfilled their duty excellently, beyond reproach.
The ergence of the Sky Abyss had now placed them in a situation much better than even their most optimistic expectations from years ago.
Not only did this ally assist them in holding off the Dreamy Heavenly Venerate within the Artificial Sky, but also advanced legislative reforms in the Federation, transforming 14 Base Cities to maximize immigration rates, while also integrating the industrial prowess of the Earth Federation and the chanical God Temple, with nurous chanics and Artifact Refiners, achieving nearly 40% production output to craft more Sky Curtain Bases for them.
There was just one dissatisfaction: the speed of the Artificial Sky’s completion was too fast, and Lin Rui was unwilling to influence the upper echelons of the Federation Governnt to delay the deploynt of Sky Curtain Bases.
However, this could not be blad on Lin Rui as it was the collective will of All Gods led by the Dreamy Heavenly Venerate, so even if Lin Rui and they tried to block it, the effect would be negligible.
“Mother God~” Ao Jue’s voice was hoarse, about to explain and plead, when her Father God spoke up: “You’ve worked hard. The refusal by the Master of Light was expected, you need not bla yourself, go now.”
Ao Jue was slightly surprised; she had prepared herself to bear the wrath and reprimand of her parents, yet their reaction was far calr than she had expected.
As Ao Jue left, filled with suspicion, the red-haired god on the Cloud Platform leisurely gazed at the entrance of the hall: “Now the population of the 14 Base Cities has reached 97 billion. It barely suffices for simultaneous True Spirit transfer of the two of us, yet base numbers still fall short. Even if we further condense the True Spirits, discard unnecessary elents, at least 15 billion of capacity is lacking.”
This population is indeed insufficient to sustain their True Spirits long term.
However, in the Earth Federation, due to large subsidies and social welfare, along with employnt-enhancing policies, and continuous improvents in the living environnts of major cities, the negative sentint among Federation citizens was greatly reduced, creating more stability.
Thus, the population issue can be temporarily set aside to be addressed gradually later.
The key is still capacity; for their dual gods to transfer True Spirits to the Artificial Sky requires at least 180 billion.
The silver-armored goddess fell into thought and after a mont, her face turned tranquil: “It seems we have no other choice.”
If there were no hope of ‘transcendence’, it would be another matter, but now just a shortage of 15 billion capacity stood between them and the ticket to transcendence, making them extrely unwilling to give up.
The silver-armored goddess then waved her sleeve, manipulating an intelligent terminal bracelet suspended before her.
Soon, a holographic projection screen manifested before them, showing nothing but a figure entirely cloaked in a black robe.
“You two contact again, it seems you’re ready to cooperate with us?”
The robed figure’s deep abyss-like eyes were exposed, after eting their gazes, a hoarse laughter ensued: “Isn’t it quite the bargain? I’m not asking much, and I can help distract Dreamy and Great Sun Venerable. Without them, your victory chances are as high as ninety percent.”
