Chapter 776: Responding!

Li Li, an Earthling who had genuinely transmigrated to another world, currently had no desire to communicate with the players.

This was not only because the truth behind his transmigration was too explosive, but also because Buddhism and Taoism were natural enemies of his lineage, and their positions were fundamentally opposed.

If he were to approach them, his life would be in their hands. What rank was he, after all? He would be at their mercy; they might choose to support him or even kill him.

It’s always wise to be cautious of others.

"I need to observe them secretly first," he thought. "They are playing a game, but I only have one life." He took a deep breath, remaining calm. "Given the current situation, and what I witnessed before I transmigrated, could it be that they've already begun cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art and are starting to exert their power?"

"That fast?"

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art required a vast amount of energy and the integration of many living beings. However, the energy here was immense, making it possible to cultivate a superficially impressive Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art in a short period. Its combat power might be ordinary, but it would appear massive and visually stunning.

He quickly checked a newspaper and discovered that, indeed, an artificial satellite was scheduled to land on the moon in just one week!

"As expected, they're building momentum before the moon landing," he mused. "They're actually going to launch a satellite to observe the Nine Dragons Coffin in space? It looks like they're aiming for a spiritual energy revival."

He looked at the newspaper again.

Regarding the Yingkou Dragon Fall incident, that dragon corpse was clearly a huge investment. It was a Pangu body expanded using the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art. The original ants had departed, leaving behind the enlarged Pangu body to enhance authenticity and influence public opinion.

"They even plan a genuine spiritual energy revival, ushering in an era of flourishing Buddhism and Taoism."

The more he thought about it, the more astonished and horrified he became. "This world also has something similar to nine years of compulsory education. Students go to school from a young age and do exercises, but it's very relaxed. They study physics and chemistry very freely, and even in high school, they only learn simple arithmetic, which is sufficient for daily life…

"But what about them? Their next step is likely to disseminate martial arts manuals like 'Huanggang Secret Scrolls' and 'Three Years of College Entrance Exam, Five Years of Mock Tests,' to torment the children of this world, making them study physics and chemistry until they all go bald! By then, everyone graduating high school will be an entry-level cultivation expert. What a grand scheme! The cultivation dreams of three hundred million primary school students!"

"Phew."

Li Li took a deep breath.

This was truly terrifying.

The spiritual energy revival on Earth that he had anticipated was directly realized here. The so-called nine years of compulsory education was actually laying the foundation for physical Buddhism and chemical Taoism to embark on the path of transcendence.

The era was on the verge of a major transformation.

No one knew what the future held.

Even before the moon landing, astronomers had discovered unusual celestial phenomena within the solar system, suggesting a major event was unfolding. There were suspicions that mysterious beings might be attempting to prevent humanity's moon landing. However, others suggested it was merely a rare celestial phenomenon, like a planetary alignment, occurring once every few centuries.

In reality, only Xu Zhi knew what was truly happening. Although cosmic beings were fast, it would still take them several months to travel from planets like Mercury to Earth.

At this moment.

"We need to hide," they said. "The radiation here is too strong. We'll resume activity at night when there are fewer people."

Using their divine sense, the two infiltrated a hotel and began searching for information online using a computer.

Li Li had no intention of contacting the players. He wanted to see how they would proceed, as he couldn't observe them secretly otherwise. And waging war against them? How was that possible? While they might appear to be a bunch of goofy 'sand sculptors' when they were allies, facing them as adversaries would reveal them to be an utterly terrifying opponent. They were like a pack of hyenas, a natural disaster—ruthless, skilled in various military tactics, unpredictable, decisive, and maniacal. Which of Emperor Qi or the Three Pillar Gods hadn't been messed with by them?

He took a deep breath, intending to observe their actions. Would they get a brutal beating from this world, screaming loudly in agony, or would their outrageous tactics actually yield results? After all, they were strong, but this world was incredibly complex. Neither side was to be underestimated.

His immediate goal was to develop his own power. And the first thing he needed... was money.

In this modern society, it was impossible to get anywhere without money.

"Money... Let me think, what's a quick way to get money, and expand my influence, my manpower..." He was already a seasoned individual, well-versed in such matters, and quickly came up with an idea.

Half a day later, a groundbreaking invention also appeared in this world, filling a void in a simple era where material technology advanced rapidly, but spiritual well-being lagged.

Many people received a peculiar text message, leaving them utterly astonished:

"I am Emperor Ji Shang, and I am not dead.I have just awakened in the Entropy Mountain Imperial Mausoleum, crawling out from among the Terracotta Warriors.I consumed the elixir of immortality and have achieved eternal life. I tell you, I am now emerging to reclaim the world. You can sponsor me for just 888 yuan.If you send me money, upon my return to power, I will grant you immense wealth, and even the elixir of immortality. A ruler's word is his bond!"

After learning about it, Ji Shang was shocked by this novel "I, Emperor, send money" tactic.

Could this truly raise a substantial amount of start-up capital?

He expressed his doubts.

Furthermore, wouldn't this expose them?

"You have to believe, this is a 'money-making' method that has already been recognized by the market," Li Li said seriously.

However, within just a few days, large sums of money poured into the account, completely overhauling the ancient emperor's worldview.

Holding his phone, Ji Shang stood by the high glass window in the hotel, looking at the bustling traffic below, feeling somewhat out of touch with the times. After all, no matter how intelligent he was, he was still an ancient man.

Then Li Li added, "It's time for us to start establishing an underground dynasty conglomerate. The next step is longevity health products, targeting the elderly who control 80% of this world's wealth."

Xu Zhi's face darkened slightly. He had been quite attentive to this transmigrator who came from Earth countless light-years away, but at this moment, he felt quite helpless.

If you choose a simpleton, they wouldn't survive transmigration to another world. If you choose a clever one, they'll have a myriad of outrageous schemes.

"This world is indeed fair," Xu Zhi shook his head, taking a deep breath. "There's truly no way to have the best of both worlds in this world."

However, Li Li's fundamental theory for establishing a new system genuinely surprised Xu Zhi. After all, the foundational theory of a system was crucial; it laid the groundwork for its future development! Xu Zhi even began to suspect that Earth had once possessed such ancient mythical systems, so complete and flawless that there wasn't a single inconsistency.

"However, his current approach is indeed the smartest and most correct," Xu Zhi mused. "Just as he dragged Ji Shang into this, he's pulling the dying elderly in power in this world into his schemes. Faced with the fear of death, these elders can only be manipulated, allowing him to secretly establish an underground dynasty and control the world's lifeline."

This was the most efficient method.

"Eternal beings who fear Buddha will proliferate here, forming a mature system?" Xu Zhi smiled. Regarding the application of infinite lifespan, his first thought was the Three Pillar Gods' Gene Lock combat method. That is, Subaru's signature technique, a punch that burned life by twenty or thirty times, was simply astonishing.

But how it would specifically play out remained to be seen. In reality, among Xu Zhi's five major genes, only his own Bloodline of Eternal Life had yet to show any effects. This was indeed an excellent opportunity for further deduction and development.

But what exactly would happen?

He would have to wait and see.
