Chapter 205 The Secret of Divine Arts and the Budding of Ambition!
"Ambition..."
Su Chen's will whispered in the void, but he did not act immediately.
Water that is too clear has no fish.
He knew very well that in the face of enormous interests and power, people's hearts were the most vulnerable thing.
These reborn individuals can unite in the face of despair.
But after the victory, parting ways was almost inevitable.
Forced suppression will only provoke a backlash.
It might even force them to collude with external enemies, which would be a losing proposition.
Su Chen decided to wait and see for the time being.
He has more important things to do now.
He submerged a portion of his consciousness into the bullet screen space, monitoring those restless reborn individuals.
His main focus, however, was on the greatest spoils he could obtain from the "Prophet".
—That incomplete technique of "divine body condensation".
After enslaving the "Prophet," Su Chen immediately conducted a thorough soul search on it.
He discovered that the "prophet" was not lying; it did indeed possess only half of the divine magic.
This half of the divine art describes how to use a life-bearing planet as a basis to draw upon a special primordial ray in the universe.
By combining their own will, they condensed a "Will God Body" that could bear the laws of the planet and move freely in the universe.
This is exactly what Su Chen needs most right now.
Although he became the will of the Earth and possessed godlike power, he was also firmly bound to the Earth, like a prisoner wearing golden shackles.
Once he possessed the "Will and Divine Body," he essentially had an "avatar" that could act freely.
The problem is that this divine art is full of logical traps and misleading information.
Many key steps are vague or even contradictory.
If it weren't for Su Chen's extraordinary deductive abilities with the "Heart of the Prophet" and the help of Ye Chen's experience as a victim in his "previous life," it would have been a huge turnaround.
If you rashly start practicing, the best outcome will be that you suffer from qi deviation and your will collapses.
"What about your other half?"
Su Chen's will directly questioned the core of the "Prophet".
"Report back to my lord,"
The "prophet" replied meekly, "The other half of divine magic is not something I deliberately concealed. Rather, it simply doesn't exist in the form of 'information' at all."
"It's more like a 'permission,' a 'qualification.' According to my creator's setting, only by proving oneself in a specific 'test' can one be qualified to obtain a partner."
"An assessment?" Su Chen frowned.
"What kind of assessment?"
"I don't know." The "prophet's" answer was straightforward:
"My permissions are insufficient to read that information."
Su Chen's will was fixed on the core of the "Prophet," and he could sense that the other party was not lying.
"Interesting." Su Chen's will withdrew.
What exactly does that high-dimensional civilization that created the "prophet" want to do?
Why create such a complicated "divine art" and divide it into two parts? What kind of assessment is this?
There might be a huge secret hidden behind this.
Su Chen temporarily suppressed his doubts and handed over the half of the divine technique to "Heart of the Prophet" and Shen Mo's team, allowing them to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted deduction and simulation using a supercomputer.
The goal is to find a safe and feasible path for cultivation in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, the entire Earth Alliance, stimulated by the massive amount of technology brought by the "Prophet" and the "Centennial Development Plan" announced by Su Chen, entered an unprecedented and rapidly developing golden age.
Anti-gravity factories are springing up everywhere, and futuristic-looking starships are being built at an accelerated pace in orbital docks.
The strength of the entire population is rapidly increasing, and new awakened individuals are emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Everything seemed thriving and full of hope.
However, beneath this prosperous facade, undercurrents have begun to stir.
The solar system, the asteroid belt.
A disguised, inconspicuous mining ship quietly docked on the back of a massive meteorite.
In the spaceship's conference room, several men with powerful auras were sitting around a table.
They were all top-tier reborn individuals who were renowned in their previous lives.
The leader was a man codenamed "Butcher".
In his previous life, he was known for his ruthlessness and decisiveness. In this life, he has also established his own power early on thanks to his foresight.
"Everyone, do you understand the situation now?"
The butcher toyed with an energy drink glass in his hand, his eyes filled with a sinister glint.
"Su Chen is now the boss of Earth, and we all have to listen to him. But he's tied to Earth and can't get out. And the outside world is so big, so wonderful..."
"Butcher, what exactly do you want to say? Just say it."
A woman named "Phantom" spoke up; she was known for her speed and stealth:
"Don't forget, we owe everything we have today to Su Chen. We can't be ungrateful."
"Ungrateful? I didn't say that." The butcher sneered.
"I just think we can't put all our eggs in one basket. Su Chen is very strong, but there's only one Earth."
"What if one day, someone even more powerful than the 'Prophet' appears, and Earth can't hold on? What will we do then? Will we perish along with them?"
Everyone fell silent.
The butcher's words struck a chord with them.
"A few days ago, while I was exploring a remnant of a past life in the asteroid belt, I unexpectedly encountered a passing interstellar caravan."
The butcher dropped a bombshell.
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"I spoke with them," the butcher said with a smug look on his face.
"They are interested in many things about our Earth. For example, plants nourished by spiritual energy are considered top-grade materials for making advanced spiritual potions in their country."
"I traded a boatload of worthless 'local specialties' for this from them."
As he spoke, he placed a data chip in the center of the table.
"This is... the complete design blueprints for the 'Spellbreaker' class frigate."
"Although it's just a discarded product of a third-rate civilization, its greatest feature is its ability to interfere with and suppress low-level laws of power. Moreover, its engine is powerful enough for us to undertake short-distance interstellar travel."
Everyone's breathing became heavy.
They all understood what this ship meant.
It means "freedom".
This means they can break free from Su Chen's control, explore the vast universe, and establish a force that truly belongs to them.
"Let's do it!" A reborn individual slammed his fist on the table.
"If Su Chen eats the meat, we can have some soup too. That's not too much to ask, is it? We'll build our own ships, go out and make our own way, and that won't stop him from being the boss on Earth!"
"That's right! We're expanding the territory of human civilization! And if something happens to Earth, we can bring back reinforcements from outside!"
The other person immediately chimed in, finding a plausible reason for their actions.
Once ambition is ignited, it can never be extinguished.
This secret alliance, composed of several top reborn individuals, was quietly established right under Su Chen's nose.
Unbeknownst to them, all their conversations and plans were being broadcast verbatim to Su Chen through the ubiquitous barrage of comments.
In Su Chen's bullet screen space, a bullet screen comment that he highlighted stood out particularly.
[Haha, I got my hands on the blueprints for the 'Lawbreaker' warship! Once I build my own fleet, who knows who'll be in charge on Earth!]
Looking at this comment, Su Chen felt no anger, only icy coldness.
He knew it was time to teach these arrogant "heroes" a lesson.
