CHAPTER 629: 629. CROSSING ARMY

Lu Li promoted the Transcendent solely for the continuity of his clan and Mother Star, without intending to seek any reward.

Now that it could actually bring benefits, it truly was an unexpected joy.

Moreover, these "benefits" might not be small and could be used for more than just "scouting."

In Xia Country alone, with over a billion people, even if only 10% dared to cross-border, that would be over a hundred million people!

Imagine the amount of resources an army of hundreds of millions of transmigrators could gather.

Even if they only found the most common Spirit Fruit, numbers in the billions were enough to make Lu Li burst.

Not to mention, with the allure of "Transcendent," potentially more than one or two hundred million might join the "Crossing Army."

With these hundreds of millions of people helping, there would no longer be any worry about insufficient resources.

As for how to get them to willingly work, the "Points" system he had created during his last trip to Blue Star would come in handy.

Setting clear prices for the resources and repurchasing them with "Points."

Such a method had quite the style of an infinite flow "Main God"; thinking about it amused Lu Li so much that he wished he could rush back to the Blue Star and set it all up.

But the connected worlds were still too few, and the moment wasn’t right.

Lu Li composed his mental state and continued to explore the "Sea of Consciousness."

This time he let go completely; it didn’t matter whether or not there were high-energy worlds, he connected them all through the "Divine Thought Channel."

Three days passed, and Lu Li had ensnared over a thousand worlds.

He also used the perspectives of his wives and the Divine Thought consolidation channel in the Magic Treasure to connect five hundred worlds.

These should suffice for initial use, so Lu Li decided to stop and rest.

Over these three days, he still hadn’t found a world on the same level, nor had he engaged in battle.

But constantly expending Divine Thought to create channels was quite exhausting, and he already felt a bit weary.

Moreover, Lu Li grew increasingly skeptical about the reliability of "Spirit Flash."

It represented emotional outbreaks of sentient beings; but if the world was relatively peaceful and free from major disasters, there would naturally be a lack of emotional support, making the flashes less noticeable.

This was precisely the limitation of "Divine Travel"; the Sea of Consciousness made cross-border convenient, but finding the right world relied on luck.

Fortunately, he already had a plan; next, he just had to return to Blue Star and open the cross-border function to Xia Country’s people.

Immediately, Lu Li called to his wives, "How is your progress? Let’s go home and rest for a while."

Wanqing was the first to reply, "Our side has just wrapped things up. We’ve gathered numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and I’ll send them over to you."

Qiu Sheng and Su Qing followed closely,

"I’ve also reaped a lot, just enough to start refining them for you,"

"You haven’t been operating these days, you must have almost finished refining the previous gains, right~"

Lu Li grinned and said, "Indeed, luck was a bit lacking, so I thought of doing something bigger."

His wives were already aware of the plan.

Xiao Cha curiously asked, "Can you use that ’Divine Thought Channel’ now?"

"Everything is set up," Lu Li replied,

"You all saw the worlds you went to; I’ve connected them already. Now you can use the Divine Thought Channel to return home, just think about it if you want to experience."

"Oh, we must try it~"

Everyone was very interested and hurriedly prepared, then as per Lu Li’s instruction, communicated with the Divine Thought in the Magic Treasure.

Just as the thought of opening the channel flashed in their minds, the next second, their entire beings were enveloped by Divine Thought and zoomed into the channel at the speed of light.

Once inside, they couldn’t reach the speed of light as they became corporeal.

But it wasn’t significantly slower either; the group of women rapidly shuttled through the golden tunnel, and in just one hour, the scenery in front of them abruptly brightened.

As their vision restored, the surroundings had already turned into Hua Mountain scenery. They were home.

While Lu Li had returned through the Kunlun Mirror’s "Cross-border," already waiting cheerfully in the original place:

"How does it feel to travel through the Divine Thought Channel?"

"Not bad, quite useful."

Qiu Sheng commented, "Regardless of one’s cultivation, anyone can cross borders using this. You’ve certainly shown some ingenuity here."

Upon hearing this praise, Lu Li did not take credit but spoke truthfully:

"It wasn’t my idea. The original creator is named ’Lu Yao,’ from a parallel world. You might have the chance to meet him sometime."

"Is that so?"

A few women seemed slightly surprised but didn’t dwell on it too much. They had seen many parallel worlds these days and were no longer astounded.

Xiaoyu said to Lu Li, "Open up the Spirit Realm and let us in to bring out the items."

"Okay."

Lu Li immediately expanded the Body Light, allowing his wives to enter.

Then, Wanqing, Qiu Sheng, and Xiaoyu each released a dazzling radiance from within the Spirit Realm.

It was a dense pile of treasures consisting of gemstones, Spirit Fruits, and fist-sized beads, which were the inner cores of Great Demons.

Most of these otherworldly treasures were unnameable, but they undoubtedly contained powerful energies.

Unfortunately, once in Lu Li’s hands, they were doomed to be swallowed whole.

He raised his hand, and the ’Black Hole Dragon’ lowered its head and swallowed all the treasures in one bite.

The black hole began to function, quantum shattering the heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

This served as a preliminary digestion, aiding in further absorption by the Kunlun Mirror, ultimately converting into energy for expanding the Spirit Realm.

While refining external materials, the Kunlun Mirror was also extracting the self-generating Spirit Mechanism from the Spirit Star, repairing the last crack in the mirror’s body.

This was also Lu Li’s previous command, though it was not without cost.

Xiaoyu sniffed vigorously and said, "Lu Li, Lu Li, the Spirit Mechanism of your Spirit Star is a bit overused."

"The last crack in the Divine Mirror is a bit tricky... I’ll be careful, thanks for the reminder."

The final stages are often the most difficult, like traveling a hundred miles and finding the last half to be toughest.

Xiaoyu then said, "I’ll continue to look for treasures for you."

Being forthright as a Dragon Girl, she was ready to set off after speaking.

Lu Li hastily stopped her, "The treasures from earlier will be enough for me to refine for half a month. You’re pregnant, take more rest."

Xiaoyu smiled, "The baby is fine now, and Divine Travel is really interesting, I quite enjoy it."

Her psychological age was still young, and she was at a curious and active stage.

Still, Lu Li advised, "Even so, don’t overexert yourself. Being in good spirits will help you enjoy the journey better."

"OK, I’ll listen to you."

Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, looking very obedient despite being two meters tall.

Lu Li then asked his wives, "I need to return to Blue Star to prepare a Crossing Army, are you coming?"

After thinking for a moment, Xia Weiyun said:

"There are some matters to handle here in Shen Zhou, I won’t go, and neither will Xiaoyu. As Emperor, one cannot be absent all the time."

Xiaoyu was briefly puzzled before remembering her role as the Emperor.

The Dragon Clan actually quite enjoyed the reverence of thousands, feeling almost divine.

Thus Xiaoyu was not only unbothered but even excited.

Xingru spoke up next, "The Liuqiu displaced people wish to return for Reconstruction. My sister and I need to make an appearance."

Then Su Qing also had to deal with Sect matters, and Qiu Sheng was intensifying her study of Yang God.

Eventually, only Wanqing and Xiao Cha, free of obligations, planned to visit Blue Star for amusement.

"Then let’s each attend to our tasks and reconvene later."
