Chapter 864: Chapter 760: Keep Going
At the sa ti, Lin Rui was in the 14th confidential laboratory of Rui Fang’s Armored Biological Research Institute, waiting for the body modulation of Goddess Ao Jue to be completed.
Lin Rui took the opportunity to conduct a test on himself; other aspects showed little change, but his overall physical fitness reached 431,432 points.
In just fifteen days, his physical values skyrocketed by nearly 40,000 points.
The Source Essence was at 53%, the Source Core at 54%, increasing by about 5% over 15 days.
Lin Rui let out a chuckle, boldly guessing that the Great Sun Venerable might be getting a bit impatient.
This being even went so far as to blend its Great Sun Essence into his body, thus accelerating its erosion speed, further stimulating his physical potential, and forcing him to advance to the Eight Realms as soon as possible.
So recently, Lin Rui felt warmth all over his body, like a warm furnace, as if ready to ignite.
Lin Rui didn’t mind; the Central Abyss was generous with funding, the materials for the three Artificial Sky Curtain Bases were already in place, currently in the manufacturing process, and expected to be operational in three months.
By then, the six facilities with a total capacity to house 2.3 billion people at the Jingyi Altar, along with approximately 1.2 billion believers drawn in with eggs and milk, would be enough to stabilize his True Spirit.
But the money is still not enough—
Lin Rui thought of eggs and milk, which reminded him of the bill sent by the Light King Sect, and he felt a headache coming on.
Currently, there are about 900 million believers benefiting from welfare als within the Light King Sect, and a bottle of milk costs 3 federal coins, two eggs cost 2 federal coins, totaling 4.5 billion federal coins a day.
The Light King Sect also needs to maintain a strong militant force to protect the believers and clergy, with daily expenses reaching 3 billion as well.
Although Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals and the Forest Group have seen a dramatic increase in profits over the past year, barely supporting this behemoth of a money-eating beast, Lin Rui couldn’t help but feel imnse pressure at the thought of the Light King Sect expanding to a scale of 2 billion believers, with expenses multiplying.
It’s out of the question not to give funds; among those believers, so indeed have financial difficulties, while others simply believe in eggs. Once the Holy Communion is cut off, their faith in the ‘Supre’ would instantly drop to zero or even into negatives.
Lin Rui recently used the Secret Technique to sense the True Spirit of the Heavenly Curtain, discovering that many believers’ perceptions and mories of him were rely as the ‘Lord of Milk and Eggs,’ and the Holy Song taught by the clergy during communion was not even rembered.
That doesn’t matter, as long as these people rember him, they can help him resist the erosion of the Great Sun Venerable’s will.
In fact, negative mories can also be useful; even letting these believers hate him is fine, as Lin Rui possesses a physical body with the three spirits of heaven, earth, and man, unafraid of the twisting of the True Spirit by the will of tens of billions of believers.
However, the Holy Sect is currently in a phase of quantity accumulation, not good to cut off communion now.
Luckily, due to the massive increase in believers, the sect recently caught the interest of many charitable and political organizations, beginning to accept so legal societal donations, filling so financial gaps.
While Lin Rui was feeling troubled, the Goddess Ao Jue, lying in the alien cultivation tank in front of him, opened her eyes.
Although she was stark naked, she was indifferent to Lin Rui’s gazing glance, instead focusing on sensing the changes within her own body.
Ao Jue then frowned: “You only implanted 70% of the Source Essence and Source Core in ?”
Although Lin Rui had implanted both the Main Armor and auxiliary armor into her, he only implanted about seventy percent of the Fake Abyss Essence and Fake Abyss Source Core.
The issue is that her two conceptual powers must be supported by enough Source Essence and Source Core to fully function.
Lin Rui glanced sideways at her again: “This is the latest Federation technology producing the Fake X Essence, still unsatisfied? Our agreent was only to help you cultivate a complete alien body, which did not include this part.”
Ao Jue frowned, a trace of annoyance appearing in her eyes; although there was no agreent on this part, Lin Rui’s actions still constituted betrayal and reneging!
“Rest assured, once I advance to the Eight Realms, I will implant the complete Source Essence and Source Core in you.”
Lin Rui withdrew his gaze: “You can now exert about 75% of your combat power, which is almost enough; apart from , perhaps only that Federation President can be your match.”
Ao Jue squinted her eyes, then understandingly smiled, a hint of sarcasm in her tone: “Are you afraid that if my combat power reaches its peak, you won’t be able to control ? Or that my Father God and Mother God won’t make efforts for the Invincible Dharma King?”
She noticed that Lin Rui did not reply but focused on the form before him, then curiously inquired: “What are you looking at?”
“The casualty lists submitted by the branches of the Base Cities, and the compensation budget form.”
Lin Rui sighed: “Since the passing of two bills, the grassroots casualties in the security departnts of the Forest Group and Rui Fang Group have been severe, and this is even before officially going to war with the Longevity Association. Who knows what will happen once the real fight begins!”
The two groups were founded less than three years ago, their grassroots defense departnts were inherently inadequate, and the peripheral forces of the Longevity Association have hit a sore spot.
Therefore, he had to strengthen his intervention in the various base cities, prematurely deploying the twenty Heavy Equipnt Divisions he had in hand.
The financial power demonstrated by the Longevity Association was also astonishing; in the past year, he joined forces with Li Xianglong and others, using almost any ans to attack the nurous financial sources of the Longevity Association.
Yet, within just half a month after the war began, the Security Bureau had monitored nearly 3,400 billion federal coins flowing into five base cities and various dark webs.
