Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

"Finally, after millions of years,"

"the data from the first Nine Character Immortal Scripture experiment is finally organized."

Jiang Ding’s pupils reflected the cosmic stars and changes in the Time River, he whispered.

In front of him, a faintly appearing Supreme Great Sun Original Ancient Talisman floated in the void, reflecting extraordinary brilliance, emitting an aura similar to that of a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, and yet not quite.

The Fusang Empress held her breath, gazing at the most brilliant Immortal Path crystal of the Immortal Dynasty in eighteen million years.

"Your Majesty, isn’t this an incomplete Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor Original Ancient Talisman?"

The Empress inquired.

As a being closely connected with the destiny of the Ancient Emperor, she sensed something immediately.

"Yes, this is only a simulation model of the Nine Character Immortal Scripture."

"It’s somewhat incomplete."

Jiang Ding carefully admired his achievement, saying, "If one were to break through the Nine Character Immortal Scripture according to this model, the success rate is about sixty-five percent. Burning oneself for a desperate breakthrough can raise the success rate to seventy-five percent, the remaining probability being complete divine soul destruction and perishing of the path."

"If successful, it still carries significant hidden dangers, resulting in severe injuries, which would pose certain obstacles to stepping into the Eight-character Immortal Scripture field, because the Nine Character Immortal Scripture was hastily formed, with many structures not perfectly aligning with Immortal Science, requiring great expenditure at this stage to compensate."

"Of course, even so, it’s the lifelong dream of countless Ancient Emperors."

"If Heaven grants me but one opportunity, I too will certainly break through, and that’s the reason."

The Ancient Emperor’s tone was casual, stating facts.

"Pfft!"

"Indeed, His Majesty is such a peerless elite of eternity."

The Fusang Empress lightly chuckled.

"Softie, you’re quite discerning."

Jiang Ding said with some pride.

He naturally wouldn’t break through now.

At the very least, he would conduct three consecutive Nine Character Immortal Scripture experiments, repeatedly exploring the unknown to ensure everything was foolproof before stepping into the ranks of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors.

Breaking through the realm should be done calmly and with confidence, not in a life-and-death situation.

This is not the way of nature.

"With this new Forbidden Area Scripture model as a guide, Immortal Science will make further progress."

"Once spread, the production speed of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures in the Endless Starry Sky will accelerate, and it will probably only take seven hundred and fifty million years to accumulate resources for a second Nine Character Immortal Scripture experiment."

"Plus the mobilization and concentration of social capital by the Financial Fortune Dao... It will probably be possible to start the second experiment in about seven million years."

Jiang Ding calculated and said.

"You are right, Your Majesty."

The Fusang Empress smiled slightly.

Under the joint governance of the Empress and the Ancient Emperor, time flew rapidly in the Endless Starry Sky.

Time seemed almost immortal.

The Ancient Emperor stood high in the sky like the stars of the Sun Star, where heavenly elite, supreme, or quasi-emperors all passed away and reappeared, yet the Ancient Emperor still existed, unchanged.

The creatures of the Human World came and went, but the one on the Crystal Divine Throne remained.

No one knew when the Ancient Emperor stopped stepping out of the Supreme Great Sun Dubhe, and the creatures of the Human World could no longer see his true form, only occasionally engaging in academic exchanges with him.

Unknowingly, tens of thousands of years passed.

On this day, the Empress stood beside the Crystal Divine Throne, softly saying, "Your Majesty, another generation’s Immortal Gate Governor ’Yuan’ has fallen into slumber. The new Immortal Gate Governor is Jin, who is an Immortal Gate Emperor Realm Cultivator born from the Financial Fortune Dao, specializing in financial regulation. Over the past tens of thousands of years, he has perfected the financial regulation system of the Immortal Dynasty."

"From now on, Emperor Yun Jing and other financial emperor realm cultivators have lost the ability to actively trigger a financial crisis in the Immortal Dynasty."

This was the effective system established through the combined efforts of many Financial Fortune Dao cultivators under the pressure of the Ancient Emperor, appearing after millions of years.

From then on, the newborn Financial Fortune Dao was under strict supervision.

"And then?"

Jiang Ding slowly opened his eyes.

Many things were already known in his deductions, but he still wanted someone to talk to.

In the mortal world, only the Empress could be someone the Ancient Emperor confided in, only her, apart from her, there were no other known beings to him.

"Jin implemented financial reforms inside the Immortal Gate,"

"making the Immortal Gate’s production efficiency higher, more orderly internally, concentrating Immortal Path research funds more efficiently... but this intensified the internal wealth concentration among Immortal Sect Citizens, culturally increasing the worship of finance, wealth, industry, etc., it’s just..."

The Fusang Empress’s words were slightly hesitant, seemingly unsure how to describe it.

But as a woman who had accompanied the Human Emperor for eighteen million years, she knew what the Human Emperor cared about and considered important, even if she was not interested in the Immortal Gate, she would try her best to understand.

"Everything is fine now."

"It’s just that the future may guide the Immortal Gate towards the abyss."

Jiang Ding slowly said, "Jin and the people around him may not have malicious intent, only subconsciously strengthening their path of the Financial Fortune Dao, and this reform is indeed beneficial to the Immortal Gate."

"But in the later stage, there is a possibility of losing control, right?"

The Immortal Gate is a polity where citizen politics and elite politics coexist, and the Financial Fortune Dao is clearly influencing this polity and may corrode this organization.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that’s how it is."

The Empress rejoiced, bouncing like a little girl.

"Citizens can freely choose their paths."

"Whether it is survival or destruction."

"If it is indeed the free will of the citizens, unimpeded by outsiders, I will not interfere."

Jiang Ding sighed gently and said.

As a being who lived for eighteen million years, he had a significant generational gap with the current Immortal Sect citizens. He could forcibly impose his ideas for the citizens to accept, but that wouldn’t align with the education he received since childhood.

"Central Array Spirit Computer?"

Jiang Ding called in his heart, just as he did when he was a young, weak mortal.

Back then, he was so fragile and could only grow under the protection of the Central Array Spirit Computer, and now, after many tens of thousands of years, he called upon it once again, yet it was the same.

"Citizen Jiang Ding, this is your first request for assistance in sixteen million, two hundred and seventy thousand years."

"Please speak."

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer still lacked any emotional inflection yet made people feel at ease.

"The Central Array Spirit Computer has the responsibility to guide the civilization’s forward direction. The first generation sages like Yuan had long foreseen that certain human traits such as greed, laziness, and weakness would negatively impact civilization, especially after prolonged periods of peace. Now do you see the risks?"

Jiang Ding asked.

"The risks are visible."

"But cannot be managed. The Financial Fortune Dao presents a new risk for which the database holds no response strategy. Citizens need to experience it themselves, rise from the ashes, after which the database will update."

"The civilization backup is already prepared."

The Central Array Spirit Computer said.

This is a war, an internal transformation!

The Immortal Gate may fall in this internal turmoil, or it may rise again from the ashes; these are all unknowns.
