Chapter 579: Rainbow Bridge
Even if he didn't understand, that didn't prevent him from directly using this conclusion.
Ever since Dong Fang Sa awakened his powers, any divination he was capable of, and had performed, had never once been wrong; it was as if the script had already been written.
Years of success had fostered in him an almost blind trust in his own abilities.
“What a pity, it’s merely a temporary measure.” Bai Mo could feel the power of the Daoization portion within his avatar being stripped away, reverting into raw, free-floating Spirit Qi.
However, the process of Daoization was still not reversed. The Star Core Grinding Disc, in essence, was no different from him transferring the pressure of Daoization onto specially designed Holy Progenitors.
This grinding extraction of power would normally be accompanied by intense pain, but Bai Mo was somewhat unconcerned, because Daoization had not only eroded his various emotions but had also begun to show a trend of usurping his senses.
The first to be affected was precisely his sense of pain.
......
After personally stepping into the core of this grand array, Bai Mo discovered many familiar traces; even small details of the runes were ones he had personally modified twenty years ago.
The Life Alchemy Array invented by Black Crow extracted the essence of flesh-and-blood life forms’ bodily tissues to produce peculiar crystals called "Philosopher’s Stones." These crystals could extend the user’s lifespan, and also offered a small chance of awakening the abilities of the original flesh-and-blood host.
Dong Fang Sa had meticulously studied this array and its related variations for many years before finally combining them with his own unique powers to create something like the Star Core Grinding Disc.
He had once felt that this discovery was a dilemma for him, because to raise his aptitude by even one more level, he would need to thoroughly refine three Six-Tier life forms using the grinding disc.
If he had the ability to obtain three Six-Tiers willing to sacrifice themselves, would he still be struggling so much? The entire Federation publicly possessed fewer than twenty Six-Tiers in total; the least among them was a provincial governor.
Of course, all of this was true until the moment he saw Bai Mo.
......
“I only have three hundred years left.” Dong Fang Sa, the life-burning player, was currently struggling to operate his brain, calculating the chips remaining in his hand.
As long as he could seize this opportunity to complete the long accumulation from Five-Tier to Six-Tier in one go, achieving the second sublimation of his life form, he would be able to break through his limits and gain an additional two thousand years of lifespan.
All the sacrifices would soon return to him twofold.
“Faster, faster!” At this moment, he was like a donkey pulling a millstone, straining with all its might because it saw a carrot dangling before its eyes.
Dong Fang Sa continued to burn his life essence; he was like a gambler whose eyes had turned red with obsession, staking everything on this extravagant gamble concerning his very existence.
If he won, he would break through his own limits, become a Six-Tier figure at the very pinnacle of the Federation, and extend his lifespan by another two thousand years.
If he lost, his life force would be exhausted, and he would turn to ashes and vanish.
......
“Dad, look quickly! There’s such a long, long rainbow bridge in the sky!”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Go do your math homework! You still have your basic spell elective later!”
“It’s true! I’m not lying! If you don’t believe me, look up.”
......
“Did I put too much pressure on my son, causing him to hallucinate...?” After hearing his son’s words, a certain father couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
He looked up at the sky.
“Perhaps the pressure from home is too great for me as well...” the man muttered to himself.
......
Naturally, they weren’t the only father and son looking up at the sky at the same time; countless ordinary citizens who remained at home, quietly awaiting the activation of the Moon God, all saw a rainbow bridge manifesting out of thin air.
It was as if a peculiar meteor had streaked across the sky, leaving behind a trail that lingered for a long time.
The seven-colored rainbow bridge had one end finally connected to the center of the Star Core Grinding Disc, while the other end’s connection point exceeded the range observable by ordinary people.
......
“Why did it suddenly feel a little lighter?” Dong Fang Sa, whose mind was under immense strain, was solely focused on his Star Core Grinding Disc at this moment, and was most sensitive to such changes.
“The Feng Shui array seems to be optimizing itself... ” He forcibly resisted thinking about the most terrifying, yet most probable, possibility.
......
“In that case, the extraction efficiency can be increased by 5%...” Just as Dong Fang Sa had inwardly suspected, Bai Mo was indeed actively modifying the array that was grinding him.
Having just witnessed Pope Gang Duo’s tearful accusation, he decided to use this Star Core Grinding Disc to do something more for this interesting man, one last time, and to make Pope Gang Duo’s dying wish even grander.
......
“What are you doing?! This violates our agreement!”
The Federation’s high-ranking officials in Malinjiao naturally also discovered this gigantic rainbow bridge, shimmering with Spirit Energy, at the first possible moment.
The bridge itself tore open a large hole in the Moon's specially designed nanite atmosphere, and endless power surged along its surface, cascading down into the small array at the center of the storm.
At this moment, Dong Fang Sa finally understood what kind of monster he had truly schemed against.
Had the other party not actively cooperated, there would have been no possibility of success whatsoever.
“I’m giving you a ‘gift.’” Bai Mo reverted to his emotionless tone.
......
“The output power of this rainbow bridge is roughly equivalent to our Star-Melting Cannon.”
“The Star-Melting Cannon can penetrate to the Moon's core within twenty-four hours!”
“Are you saying he already possesses planet-destroying power in the true sense?”
“Perhaps... yes.”
Before this, humanity’s understanding of the limits of superhuman power still only extended to sweeping clean the surface of the Earth and destroying the biosphere.
According to the Federation’s internal views, after losing the support of the high Spirit Qi levels of the early period, it was highly unlikely that a truly planet-shattering powerhouse, capable of completely pulverizing a planet, would emerge among humans for at least one to two hundred years.
Because the gap between the two was simply too vast.
A terrestrial biosphere less than twenty kilometers thick, even if completely razed, would at most be a mere scratch on the surface for Earth, with its radius of over six thousand kilometers.
Even on the Moon, with a radius of over seventeen hundred kilometers, peeling off a layer twenty kilometers thick would likewise be far from a structurally devastating major injury.
......
“A rainbow bridge spanning Earth and the Moon—what a grand gesture.” The Red Wizard King’s true body, within his Wizard Tower, leaned on his staff, his gaze drifting into the distance.
“He seems to be devouring Earth.”
Beside him, a “girl” who completely lacked the image of a traditional witch, dressed in a miniskirt and a revealing tank top, and wearing a blue, pointed wizard hat, spoke, holding a shimmering Spirit Energy crystal ball in her hand.
Except for a very small number of individuals with peculiar tastes, the vast majority of powerhouses, after gaining the ability to appropriately alter their appearance, transformed themselves into handsome men and beautiful women that perfectly matched their ideal.
