I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

"Brainwave communication is restricted to just us or with other Contracted Spirit Girls."

"Also, it cannot be too frequent to avoid any unusual behavior."

"This can only solve the urgent issue, but cannot completely resolve the communication problem."

Shang Siteng's voice continued to echo in Han Zhan's mind.

Han Zhan nodded internally.

"Is this technology accessible to everyone?" Han Zhan asked in his mind.

"In theory, yes. As long as someone has the Celestial Net Chip and has downloaded the trial version of the upgrade patch, they can use this function."

The latest trial version of the upgrade patch isn't widespread yet; it's still in the testing phase with access restrictions, available only to officials of Great Xia at the senior level and above."

This research project has been completed for a while, previously it wasn't widely used due to its low practicality.

If it weren't for the current situation, Shang Siteng wouldn't have thought of it either.

"Bob has always been researching these topics because there's a certain commonality with virtual aspects."

"And I can confirm, he must have upgraded to the latest version of the patch."

The brainwave conversation ended.

The exchange between Shang Siteng and Han Zhan was very brief. From the outside, it just seemed like the two of them were stuck together for a moment and then separated.

No unusual behavior could be seen.

Han Zhan then dialed the Celestial Net communication, proceeding like every time after returning from the outer Star Domain, to convene a highest-level meeting.

It was still a virtual meeting.

Bob was the first to appear in the conference room. In his own words, this was the virtual world of Celestial Net; he was everywhere.

When Han Zhan saw Bob appear, he immediately gave him a big hug.

The latter was momentarily bewildered.

Then he heard Han Zhan's voice, gritting through his teeth, in his ear:

"You and Shang Jianyue, the two of you did a great job blackmailing me."

As he spoke, he tightened his grip around the Little Dragon Man's neck.

"I've seen all the gossip about me on the Celestial Net forum, the news about Lingzhen's pregnancy, and the videos taken unnaturally."

With Han Zhan's hint, a polite yet awkward smile spread across Little Dragon Man Bob's face.

"Tonight, before ten tonight, I will definitely help you delete all the posts about these on the forum!"

Bob quickly patted his chest to promise.

"You just need to sleep before ten, have a good dream, and when you check the forum tomorrow, you'll be satisfied!"

With Bob's "military order," Han Zhan finally released his grip contentedly.

At this moment, other high-level officials from Great Xia gradually appeared, everyone took their seats one after another and began the meeting.

This time, the primary focus of the meeting was Han Zhan sharing his experiences on the Water Planet with everyone.

Then, he handed over the gain from the Water Planet mission, the authority of the Game Simulated Core, into Shang Jianyue's hands.

"Regarding the Virtual Dao, I think it has a lot of developmental value. If researched properly, Great Xia's overall combat strength will take a qualitative leap."

"So, Shang Jianyue..."

Han Zhan cast a meaningful glance at Shang Jianyue. The latter, having witnessed the earlier scene between Han Zhan and Little Dragon Man Bob, nodded somewhat guilty.

After Han Zhan finished speaking, it was Lin Jingxuan's turn to report on the work.

The content included the development of Great Xia, the progress of technological escalation, the resettlement and livelihood of other races, among various topics.

After Lin Jingxuan finished, the virtual meeting also reached its conclusion.

At this point, Bob suddenly chipped in and said:

"Oh, there was one more thing I forgot to mention to you guys."

"Just recently, while altering Blue Star, the nanomachines I created discovered quite a few entangled tree branches within the Star Core."

"Like fruit connected to the root system of a tree, they should be branches of the World Tree."

"Could we, by following these branches, actively enter the region where the World Tree's body is located?"

Upon hearing Bob's words, Han Zhan and Shang Siteng were fine, but other high-level officials of Great Xia were somewhat delighted.

"That couldn't be better, we can actively establish contact with the World Tree to deeply develop Blue Star together!" Wei Qing was the first to raise both hands in approval.

Just then, a piece of paper appeared out of thin air in the virtual conference room.

On the blank paper, words quickly began to be written.

"Do not explore excessively."

"When necessary, I will contact you."

Seeing this note, Han Zhan's heart felt like it was being tightly squeezed by someone.

It indeed listens!

It indeed constantly watches over them!

Despite the turmoil inside, Han Zhan maintained a calm appearance and nodded.

"Since the World Tree does not wish for us to explore more, Bob, let's not worry about those roots of the World Tree for now."

He turned his head and said to Bob.

The latter nodded slightly, "Understood."

This was just a small interlude.

At least, in the perception of most of Great Xia's top officials, the World Tree still sheltered Blue Star's deity and wasn't some mastermind behind the scenes or an apocalyptic shadow.

Their reactions were quite normal.

"Well then, today's meeting ends here, let's adjourn."

After Han Zhan finished, he nodded to everyone and then logged out of the virtual conference room.

His mental consciousness returned back to his body, and Han Zhan and Shang Siteng woke up from the bedroom.

"Ah Zhan, Siteng, you finished your meeting."

Beside them, Li Lingzhen, who was tasked with keeping watch, took her gaze off the computer screen.

"Youwei sent me here as a message-bearer eunuch. She said, after you wake up, head to the kitchen. She and Xiao Zao prepared some food for you to fill your stomachs."

After delivering the message, Lingzhen looked back at the computer screen, swiftly typing away.

She was still wearing Han Zhan's t-shirt, squatting on the seat, the shirt covering her entirely with just her two fair calves and feet visible.

Han Zhan smiled and ruffled Li Lingzhen's hair.

"No staying up all night writing today, get some rest early, okay?"

Li Lingzhen let out a long "ah" sound.

"But the readers want me to add more, even asking for ten more updates per day."

"No! Way!" Han Zhan tousled Li Lingzhen's hair into a messy state, and she made an exasperated sound.

"Ah Zhan, we just got back from the Water Planet, are you really in such a hurry? Can you control your desires a bit?"

Li Lingzhen said righteously.

She immediately received two light flicks on the forehead.

"I'd say it's you with the unclean thoughts. I just want everyone who just returned from the Water Planet to rest early; we've been on edge for so long!"

"I mean the real kind of rest!" Han Zhan had to emphasize again.

"Alright." As soon as she heard about sleeping early and soberly, Li Lingzhen lost all energy, "How early?"

"Ten o'clock!" Han Zhan said unequivocally.
