"However, going to the Primordial God Realm isn't that simple. I've just said that the Primordial God Realm is still a part of the Eastern Heaven Realm. Moreover, it's located in a distant land at the border of the Eastern Heaven Realm. The first requirement to go to the Primordial God Realm is to be in the Divine Realm."
Ziyao took a deep look at everyone and said, "In short, if you want to go to the Ancient God Realm to practice, you must first ascend to the Eastern Heaven Realm and enter the Divine Book of the Eastern Heaven Realm before you can go to the Ancient God Realm."
"Ascend?"
Lin Muyu was stunned. Her overall plan was going to be disrupted. She originally planned to deal with everything in the Mortal Realm and turn the Qin Empire into a benign regime under the control of the Parliament before leaving. She did not expect that Ziyao would want them to ascend to the Heaven Realm now.
Ziyao also figured out what Lin Muyu meant, so she smiled and said, "In fact, it is very simple. After ascending to the Divine Realm, you can still descend to the Mortal Realm, just like me. But every time you descend to the Mortal Realm, your cultivation will be weakened by a part. But the higher your cultivation, the less the reduction will be. For example, it will take me about half a month to recover the lost cultivation. For ordinary Gods, Di Lin will lose 10% to 20% of their cultivation. The cultivation of the four of you is not bad. The cost of returning to the Mortal Realm is at most three to five months of cultivation. So, have you decided?"
Qin Yin nodded gently, "I have no problem with it."
Tang Xiaoxi also said, "I will go with Xiao Yin and Mu."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Xi Yan has now lost her divine power. Can she still withstand the impact of the Flowing Light? Moreover, Xi Yan has no divine power now. Can she ascend? "
"Yes." Xi Yan smiled with a resolute look in her eyes. "Although I don't have my divine power, my Chiyue still retains a part of my cultivation before I broke the contract. Just this cultivation alone is enough for me to ascend. Moreover, even though I don't have my divine power, I still have my Godhead. My body is also a divine body that has been tempered by divine power. The impact of the flowing light won't hurt me at all."
Lin Muyu was still in disbelief and looked at Ziyao.
Ziyao pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I will protect you when you ascend. There won't be any mistakes. A 99th-stage Grotto-Heaven God Emperor personally protecting you during your ascension isn't something an ordinary Deity can enjoy."
"Thank you, Big Sister Ziyao."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "However, we still have some unfinished business in the Shattered Cauldron Realm. So … you have to wait for us for three days. After we have finished our business, we can ascend without any distractions."
"Alright!"
…
Within three days, Lin Muyu went back and forth to solve all kinds of conflicts between the National Assembly, the Longdan Army Camp, and the Imperial Guards. She also temporarily appeased Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, and the others. At least, Wei Chou, Feng Jixing, and the others would not dare to act rashly in the capital. At this time, the Longdan Army Camp had recovered to its original size of 100,000 people, and the Imperial Guards also had 80,000 people. In terms of combat power, they were far above the National Army. Now that the National Army was restless, it was already good enough that the Longdan Army Camp and the Imperial Guards didn't deal with them.
Qin Yin personally commanded the martial arts practice in the Sacred Martial Palace. As the largest place to provide talents in the empire, the Sacred Martial Palace couldn't be neglected. With the Female Empress personally teaching, the staff of the Sacred Martial Palace were naturally flattered and became more active.
Tang Xiaoxi made a trip to the Forest of Infinity to meet Tang Zhen and Linghu Yan. She arranged the affairs of the National Army and the Demon Race Army for a year. This way, even if Tang Xiaoxi wasn't around, there wouldn't be any major problems in the Forest of Infinity.
Within three days, Lin Muyu and Qin Yin were also invited by the Department of Weapons of the Ministry of Works to watch the first steam-powered car in operation.
Early in the morning, the spring mist permeated the sky above Lanyan City.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, Lin Muyu and the others arrived at the spacious testing ground of the Department of Weapons.
Even Xi Yan and Ziyao came. The officials of the Department of Weapons knelt on both sides and were extremely respectful.
"Ziling, are you ready?" Lin Muyu asked.
Qin Ziling was nearing middle age, but his forehead was full and his face glowed with health. The age when his career was at its peak was also his best years. He smiled smugly and said, "Yes, I'm ready. Marshal Lin, do you want to order them to drive over now?"
"Yes."
Qin Ziling nodded and raised his arm. "Beat the drum."
"Dong, dong, dong." After three beats of the drum, a "tu, tu, tu" sound came from afar. A big guy appeared in the fog. It was a super-sized steam-powered car. It didn't look like a car at all. It was almost as big as the giant elephant in the Forest of Dragons. Two soldiers were constantly adding coal to the stove. Thick steam rose. The car's four huge wheels rolled over the ground. Its speed wasn't slow, at least 80 kilometers per hour.
"Is this the normal speed?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Yes."
Qin Ziling said, "On flat ground, it might be faster, but not by much. The stove is not strong enough."
"Can this machine operate for a long time?"
"It can!" Qin Ziling said confidently, "I've studied it with Teacher Luo Jie. The material used to cast the steam engine is the precious thousand-year black iron. It can withstand high temperature and is extremely tough. It won't be a problem even if it burns for a day and a night."
"Oh." Lin Muyu calculated quickly. "At a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, it'll be 800 kilometers in 10 hours. In 24 hours, it'll be close to 2000 kilometers. Excluding the bumpy roads along the way, plus the slower speed after transporting the goods, it should be able to travel a thousand kilometers a day. In five days, we can deliver the goods from Lanyan City to Winterfrost City. Based on the speed we used to transport the military provisions with carriages, it'll take us at least a month to reach Winterfrost City. It's too fast!"
Qin Ziling smiled and said, "That's right. However, there are still many difficulties. For example, we have to widen all the official roads in the empire and build roads exclusively for steam-powered cars. In addition, we have to build coal stations along the way. Otherwise, the steam-powered cars will lose their power due to the lack of coal. All of these will require a lot of time and resources."
"I know. Just cooperate with the Ministry of Works Minister on this matter."
Lin Muyu glanced around. The Ministry of Works Minister not far away immediately cupped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Lin General. I'll do my best to help Lord Qin Ziling complete all the tasks."
"En, that's good."
Lin Muyu looked at the speeding car and could not help but say proudly, "How is it, Ziyao, Xi Yan? Our mortal realm's motorcycles look very mighty, don't they?"
Ziyao pursed her lips into a smile and did not say anything.
On the other hand, Xi Yan narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Oh … I remember that a certain plane in the Western Divine Realm has already started to use a type of hover motorcycles. Some use electromagnetic motorcycles. There are even some planes that have developed technology to the point where warships can travel at hyperspace speed. In comparison, this steam-powered car that you guys developed, Yu, is indeed very ornamental. It feels like looking at an antique."
Lin Muyu rubbed her nose angrily. "Why don't you take a look at what this plane was like before? It was an agricultural era, and now there is a steam-powered car. I can be considered to have pushed technology forward by a hundred years."
"Then you still need to popularize electricity."
Xi Yan laughed softly. "Otherwise, if electronic technology does not develop, I'm afraid that they will still be stuck in the steam era for several hundred years."
"En, that makes sense."
"What kind of nonsense is that?" Xi Yan raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Do you think popularizing technology like this is really a good thing?"
"Why not?"
Xi Yan said, "I have seen many planes with very advanced technology, but the physique and cultivation of humans are constantly deteriorating. They rely too much on technology, so much so that they neglect their own cultivation. Such planes are indeed very powerful against outsiders, but … if ten Great Perfection Realm God Emperors appear at the same time, they can more or less destroy the entire plane. The Gods of the Divine Realm are well-versed in the technological level of each plane, but each plane knows nothing about the power of the Gods. That is the reason why they are ruled."
"Very reasonable."
Lin Muyu nodded. "Perhaps what you said is very right, so this is also the biggest reason why Shattered Cauldron Realm needs Sister Xiyan to recover your power. Right now, we really need a Blazing Angel to be our spokesperson. Only then will we not be afraid of the group of God Emperors in the Celestial Pole Continent."
"For the sake of this plane, you have really put in a lot of effort."
"I have no choice. The previous emperor of this plane recognized me as his godson. One must finish what he started. I can't just pat my butt and not care about anything else after ascending. I can't do something like that."
"No wonder Xiyin likes you so much!"
Qin Yin, "…"
…
On the fourth day, the appointed time arrived, and everyone was about to ascend.
Feng Jixing, Qin Yan, Situ Sen, Wei Chou, Chu Yao, Ouyang Yan, Qu Chu, and the others were all present. After all, the few people who were ascending this time were really too important. Even Empress Qin Yin had ascended together with them, so how could they not be worried? The most important thing was that no one knew what the primordial god realm was like. What if they couldn't return?
Therefore, Feng Jixing kept muttering in his heart, "What if Ah-Yu and Her Highness Ying don't come back? Should I just slip away and ascend, or continue to fight with the Celestial Pole Continent?"
At the thought of fighting, Feng Jixing's scalp went numb.
"Lin General, you have to come back soon!" Wei Chou said.
Situ Xue's eyes were red. "Sir, you and Her Highness must come back!"
Situ Sen pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said, "Can't you let the marshal ascend with peace of mind? Lin General, don't worry. If you really can't come back, I will take care of Great Deacon Chu Yao, Ouyang Yan, Jin Xiaotang, and Lady Qianqian of Hundred Flowers Tower. You won't have any worries! "
Immediately, Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi shot burning gazes at Lin Muyu. "Who is Lady Qianqian?"
Lin Muyu cried bitterly in her heart. If she knew this would happen, she wouldn't have followed Situ Sen and Wei Qiu to the brothel. She hurriedly explained, "It's just … just a dancer, I didn't do anything, listen to me."
"Explain my ass!"
…
The scene was chaotic, but Ziyao coughed and controlled the situation. "Stop fooling around. The few of you, think about ascending in your heart, then choose the Heavenly Gate that belongs to the Eastern Heaven Realm and fly in."
