Chapter 394: 394. Threatening the entire social order of Blue Star
Midnight, a crescent moon hung at the treetops.
Lu Yao, feeling refreshed and clear-headed, stepped out of his room, carefully closing the door behind him, and locked the magical Orchid Fragrance inside to avoid wastage.
The three girls were especially attentive and excited today, readily acquiescing to any request, even the usually conservative Liao Ya had let loose.
As a result, all the fatigue dissipated, leaving him feeling invigorated and full of energy.
Lu Yao planned to return to Blue Star to replenish the Power of Collective Will for his magical treasures, especially to charge up his “Transformation Device,” the Stone Lion.
At that mont, his ears twitched as he heard the sound of sothing speeding through the air, accompanied by subdued screams.
Lu Yao quickly moved toward the commotion and happened to see a dwarf, barely 1.4 ters tall, get beheaded by a silver blur that swept past.
The silver blur halted in its motion revealing its form, and it was none other than Yu Yani.
Lu Yao understood and, looking at the dwarf’s body, said, “A mber of the Thief Sect?”
Yu Yani nodded, her movents graceful and elegant as she sheathed her sword, her valor enhanced by threefold under the moonlight.
The Grandmaster’s eyes, bright and alert, sized up Lu Yao with intense curiosity, wanting to know everything about him, yet she refrained from asking, respecting the secrets of others.
Lu Yao smiled and made a fist-and-palm salute, saying, “I will need to leave for a while, I trust Grandmaster Yu to watch over things.”
“You may go; I’ll handle everything here,” Yu Yani said and had already vanished in a flash as her words fell.
With her around, Lu Yao felt particularly at ease, and he found a secluded spot to open a portal back to Blue Star.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blue Star, Xia Country’s capital.
Among the clouds, Lu Yao sat on top of a Golden Dragon’s head, channeling the Yan Huang’s Power of Collective Will into the Dragon Pattern Mirror and the Stone Lion.
As a descendant of the dragon, the Dragon Pattern Mirror had an astonishing compatibility with the Yan Huang Power of Collective Will.
After several rounds of empowernt rituals, the manifested form of the Golden Dragon had grown from 50 ters to 70 ters in length, swelling in size like it was on steroids.
Looking at the Dragon Pattern Mirror that kept absorbing the power, Lu Yao felt quite pleased and thrilled. Such a treasure was certainly better the more powerful it beca.
While the Magical Treasure feasted, he idly took a look around.
Both to the naked eye and the spiritual eye, Blue Star and the Otherworld looked no different, like identical twins.
Even the narrative threads of the world were striving to converge, despite the chaos of the overall plot.
At this mont, he rembered what He Ren, that rascal, had said—both worlds were like isolated islands, connected through the ocean of the mind.
Lu Yao looked towards the gathering point of the power above and murmured, “The ocean of the mind…”
Feeling puzzled, when a brainwave struck him, he rembered a term from Blue Star—collective unconscious.
If individual consciousness could be likened to the icebergs on the surface of the sea, each peak independent, representing individual beings,
Then beneath the surface lay the bulk of it, which the psychologist Jung described as the “collective unconscious.”
Lu Yao suddenly grasped an insight:
“It seems that the collective unconscious of the intelligent life in both worlds is interconnected. Spirit Refinent, after surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, allows one to wander this Mind Ocean.
He Ren discovered Blue Star precisely through this. However, the information in the collective unconscious is cluttered and in disarray, and what he found was nothing more than traces and hints.”
After coming to this realization, Lu Yao grew even more eager for the realms that lay beyond Spirit Refinent.
Having once experienced the grandeur of Divine Manifestation, he found his current ager state quite uncomfortable.
~~~~~~~~~~
After a while, the ever-hungry Stone Lion too was sated.
Lu Yao then took out the Lake Sword and the Pipa.
These two items were distinct visitors from the Otherworld, and the Yan Huang Power of Collective Will repelled them slightly; their absorption had always been minimal.
Thus, he could only use the mundane Power of Collective Will to empower them.
At this mont, the Lake Sword was in a special state and no longer accepted power, leaving only the Pipa in need of energy.
But just as he was about to channel the will of the Blue Star’s populace into it, he abruptly sensed sothing amiss.
The makeup of the power he was channeling, previously a balanced mix of good and bad sentints at fifty-fifty, had shifted to a split of forty-sixty against him!
It was normal to be loved and loathed, but such a sudden drop in reputation surely indicated an issue.
Lu Yao descended in altitude and took out his PDA, a brick-like gadget, to boot up and check what was going on.
He saw on the internet that his popularity was still unrivaled, which was to be expected.
But nurous experts, scholars, self-dia personalities, and internet celebrities seed to have coordinated an effort to voice their opinions online:
[Lu Yao is extrely destructive and has a serious tendency towards violence, posing a threat to the entire Blue Star’s social order!]
[Supern are as dangerous as nuclear weapons; they are potential serious threats to humanity, and governnts around the world must not let these dangers fester.]]
The accusations were all the sa, all pointing to the threatening nature of Lu Yao, with many people exaggerating the danger:
[There is reliable evidence to show that Lu Yao is not a favorite of God but rather a product of a lab! He is significantly related to so inhumane and terrifying human experints in Xia Country.]
[The cris of the mobster are protected by Xia Country and escaped trial.]
[“Threats” must be eliminated by all ans!]
…
“Shouting sars like this on both dostic and international internet, they’re definitely dogs that have taken money from the Foreign Affairs Bureau.”
Lu Yao was very familiar with this defamation script and knew who was behind it.
After thinking for a while, he logged into his social dia account, which he hadn’t opened for many years, and posted:
[Been busy with cultivation lately, but once I make another breakthrough, I’ll have to settle accounts with the Star Alliance Country governnt.]
As soon as this ssage was released, it instantly exploded the entire Blue Star internet.
It was just a dostic social platform, where likes and shares broke through 100,000 in a mont.
After a few minutes, it suddenly surged to ten million, and finally headed towards a billion.
In those five minutes, Lu Yao took a look at the 9th set of radio calisthenics.
He then revised and reduced it, adding many punching and kicking movents, and in three minutes, he transford the radio calisthenics into a set of boxing techniques.
The exercise itself already had decent training effects, but with the insight and expertise of Lu Yao, a grandmaster, it was excellent for strengthening the body and was suitable for all ages.
But, that was it. Blue Star’s rules were slightly different from the Otherworld, and achieving Bone-Tempering was the limit unless Lu Yao helped, otherwise transcendence was impossible.
However, it was ant to be a crowd-puller in the first place.
Lu Yao slowly practiced the movents, using the power of Mind Force to control the PDA to record, and then posted the tutorial on Bilibili.
This act was like detonating a nuclear bomb on the internet; countless people went crazy for it!
Bilibili’s network crashed on the spot, and when it was restored, many people were frantic to find the video was gone!
Luckily, so quick-handed people had saved it and spread it on other video sites.
Seeing this, Bilibili hurriedly restored the video to compete for traffic.
After that, all of Blue Star was plunged into a frenzy. People put aside everything they were doing and focused on practicing the boxing technique provided by the immortal.
Learning martial arts is initially about suffering and pain; no matter what, it’s a boxing technique, countless tis harder than radio calisthenics, and quite painful to practice.
Not all Blue Star people manage to go to the gym daily, only a few can learn and persist with it.
But already, countless fitness enthusiasts, professional athletes, rehabilitation therapists, and dical experts have stated—
This is definitely an effective and practical exercise pose!
It creates a high-intensity stimulus for the exercisers, positively affects the improvent of joint agility, enhances the strength of major muscle groups, and promotes the circulatory system, respiratory system, and the nervous system’s functions!
Suddenly, people practicing boxing beca a common sight all over Blue Star.
anwhile, the original ssage from Lu Yao also began to fernt.
Stock markets in the Star Alliance Country plumted by 7%, triggering a trading halt for 15 minutes!
Just a single sentence from Lu Yao caused market panic and stock market upheavals.
As the first “Superman” on Blue Star to confront the military head-on, he indeed had the capital. The lack of confidence that investors had in the Star Alliance Country was evident from their reaction.
Especially his ntion of “another breakthrough” had countless people tossing and turning with anxiety and deep concern.
~~~~~~~~~~
On Lu Yao’s part, seeing the Power of Collective Will slowly normalize and then divide into a mix of good and bad, he nodded with satisfaction.
All this effort was for this mont!
He quickly incorporated it into the Pipa Charm for refinent, and then opened the gate to return to the Otherworld.
He walked away, dusting off his hands, but the earthquake he created was far from over.
The two social platforms where Lu Yao logged in accumulated enough traffic in one day to match what they’d normally get in half a year!
This is an unimaginable level of influence!
The erging internet giants of Blue Star began to re-evaluate the “Superman”; he seed to be… a cash cow!
