Chapter 810: Advancement (Part 2)
As long as these 'Taishang Bloodline' do not resist too violently, they can generally preserve their lives. The Great Celestial Master merely captures them into the capital, concentrating them for supervision and suppression at the Divine Palace.
Therefore, Lin Rui, who serves as the Regent of the Great Song, did not interfere much.
However—
Lin Rui squinted slightly: "The Lord of Motion made a transaction with me, setting a Divine Contract, preparing to hand over the Abyss Divine Tablet in His possession to me, once His embodiment is complete."
Huang Fuqing was delighted upon hearing this: "Isn't this a good thing?"
This will be the fourth Abyss Divine Tablet in Lin Rui's possession!
Although it may not benefit Lin Rui personally, it is an extremely joyous news for his many subordinates.
People like Lin Xi, Lin Yi, Liu Xinlan, Linghu Mingde, and Lin Rui's mother Li Weiliang, and even Xie Xingyun and Li Xianglong, can further enhance their level of Martial Intent conceptualization.
Of course, obtaining an 'Abyss Divine Tablet' does not mean one can complete the conceptualization of Martial Intent.
This is closely related to one's Spiritual Strength, understanding of the concept, and perception of the world.
The Root Will is very 'picky.' If a Martial Cultivator lacks enough Spiritual Strength and insufficient understanding of fundamental Martial Intent, even with an 'Abyss Divine Tablet' in hand, advancement is still difficult.
In the past, Lin Rui only succeeded because he inherited the Pure Method and witnessed the Divine Level concept, integrating some of its mysteries into the fundamental Martial Intent, which allowed him to elevate his 'One' cultivation method to sixty percent.
However, for those with profound martial arts accumulation, this is an invaluable treasure!
The conceptualization of Martial Intent for Martial Cultivators becomes increasingly difficult as they progress, especially beyond fifty percent, where each additional one percent could take months or even years.
Before the Earth Federation came into contact with the Sky Extreme Star and developed corresponding medicine, Martial Cultivators even needed to spend a millennium to elevate the conceptualization of Martial Intent to the Longevity level.
Huang Fuqing then felt something was amiss and pondered: "You suspect that the Truth Method of the East Abyss is about to enter the God Realm, and He wishes to gather as many chips as possible before achieving Divine King?"
Huang Fuqing gasped: "That's too fast, isn't it?"
Lin Rui was actually more concerned about the 'Taishang Bloodline' of those 520,000 people.
Although they are currently being strongly suppressed by the East Abyss, if an extreme situation arises, the East Abyss may not have any spare capacity.
The prophecy of that 'Star Map Master' had left him uneasy.
Yet, over the past three years, Lin Rui had been unable to find any trace of the Master of Destiny, nor any whereabouts of the 'Star Map Master.'
What perplexed Lin Rui even more was that the 'Master' of the Invincible Dharma King, the former 'Bright Sage Master' Cheng Zaotian, was also missing.
Lin Rui thought that he must quickly obtain the fifth Abyss Divine Tablet.
Before implanting new Armament, his 'One' concept had only advanced to 88.2%.
This means that Lin Rui only progressed by less than 0.3% in three whole years! This was even when Lin Rui was already a Demigod and the 'Root' was extremely eager for his power.
At this rate, it would probably take more than 300 years before he could possibly enter the God Realm.
Thus, the Divine Tablet held by the Northern Abyss was the key to his enlightenment!
Lin Rui withdrew his thoughts: "For the few living Divine Spirits, the sooner the better, for the longer it drags on, the more variables there are."
Lin Rui thought of the results of Wang Sen and Professor Han's investigations of ancient ruins over the past three years, and his brows furrowed into a knot.
He then ascended into the air: "This time, I'll trouble the Academician, as I need to continue my seclusion henceforth, please proceed as you wish."
As Lin Rui finished speaking, the alloy door in front of him swung open.
Before him was a science-fictional hall with a diameter of kilometers, and at the deepest part of the hall, a reverse pyramid-shaped Truth Divine Throne hovered. Its surface appeared silver but was actually pulsating with liquid Runes, with each glyph cycling between deconstruction and reassembly.
Below the throne was a base composed of billions of silver-white hexagonal crystals, surrounded by forty-nine Star Core-level supercomputers. They hovered like steel leviathans, with dark golden energy matrices covering the surface, while each supercomputer's core had Quantum Channels surrounded by Runes, converting data into visible data streams that flowed into the silvery sea of light at the throne's base like a galaxy.
Lin Rui flew directly and sat on the Truth Divine Throne, and at the moment he sat down, nine pairs of Galaxy Light Wings behind him expanded, and the forty-nine Star Core-level supercomputers began to rotate around him.
The dark golden energy matrices of the supercomputers resonated with the liquid Runes on the surface of the throne, eliciting a response from the Jingyi Altar in the fourteen Base Cities, translating the prayers of ten billion believers into data streams, like countless silver serpents diving into the sea of light below the throne.
Lin Rui's silver pupil between his brows suddenly opened, connecting his thoughts with the Truth Divine Throne and the supercomputer matrix.
"Ring Spirit, expend 10 million soul power points, and assist me in deducing the fundamental Martial Intent to the greatest extent."
Immediately, a Chaos Singularity exploded deep within his sea of consciousness, and billions of stars were born from the Void, transforming into spiral nebulae that entangled his fingertips, condensing into dark golden glyphs amidst collapse.
With the 'One' concept as a guide, his soul was as vast as the primordial universe.
Lin Rui seemed to become the Creator, with his consciousness flowing, myriad phenomena emerged, mountains, rivers, grass, trees, celestial bodies all appeared from nothingness, with time and space interweaving into complex patterns.
He witnessed all things follow their hidden cycle of creation and destruction, endlessly repeating, from budding to blooming, to withering, and from rebirth to silent annihilation.
Lin Rui utilized the Truth Divine Throne and the supercomputer matrix here to deduce the Root of heaven and earth, parsing the fundamental principles of the world.
Lin Rui had long sensed the Truth Divine Throne would leave him, and as time went by, this feeling grew stronger.
