It must be said that Ye Xuan was indeed a bit angry!
Was fighting the divine spirits his affair alone?
It concerned the entire universe, alright?
To put it bluntly, if he wanted to lie flat, what the hell did those divine spirits even count for?
Yet he, the one most entitled to lie flat, had not chosen to do so, but these people wanted to!
What the heck?
You lie flat while I risk my life?
Get lost!
Ye Xuan pulled Qin Guan and turned to leave!
Facing such people, he did not want to spare them another glance!
Since these fellows chose to lie flat, let them face the divine spirits themselves!
Seeing the two depart, Zhiyan’s brows furrowed, lost in thought.
On the street.
Qin Guan smiled. “Angry?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Qin Guan smiled faintly. “They have lived in peace here for far too long!”
Ye Xuan sighed softly, saying nothing.
Qin Guan suddenly said, “Come, I’ll take you to see my base!”
Base!
Hearing this, Ye Xuan immediately grew interested.
Under Qin Guan’s lead, the two arrived in a starry expanse. Within this expanse, Ye Xuan beheld countless colossal structures. These immense buildings were grand and utterly different from the architecture of this world!
Qin Guan smiled. “This is my newest base. I’ve been building a mech army lately. In at most another year, they can all be deployed in battle!”
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “Are they strong?”
Qin Guan nodded. “Very strong! They are all equipped with the high-tech weapons I developed first. By then, they will definitely slaughter wildly!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Good! Excellent!”
Qin Guan smiled, then said, “This mech troop is mine, and also yours.”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes!”
Qin Guan blinked. “So, can you lend me some money?”
Ye Xuan’s expression stiffened.
Qin Guan said seriously, “I have too many things to research, and funds are tight. Lend me some first, preferably spiritual yuan!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He had just killed many divine spirits, and after killing them, he had collected all their spiritual yuan!
This scene had clearly been noticed by Qin Guan!
Headache!
Qin Guan said earnestly, “If you lend it to me, I’ll make money grow. In the future, I can return even more to you. Otherwise, your money sitting in your storage ring will only depreciate!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Qin Guan, then asked, “Why would it depreciate?”
Qin Guan explained, “You don’t understand economics. Even if I explain, you might not get it. Anyway, just hand over the money!”
Ye Xuan’s expression stiffened.
Qin Guan had already extended her right hand.
Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, then took out a storage ring and placed it before Qin Guan.
Qin Guan quickly took it, then grinned. “Good! With your money here, I’ll make it grow more and more. The longer you save, the more you earn.”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “How long is ‘longer’?”
Qin Guan thought for a bit, then said, “Saving for tens of millions of years would be best!”
Ye Xuan immediately rolled his eyes!
This was outright robbery!
Tens of millions of years?
Damn it!
Ye Xuan was speechless. In tens of millions of years, could he even get the money back?
Of course, he did not truly mind!
After all, Qin Guan needed money to build these things, and in every major battle, Qin Guan supported him without holding back!
This bit of money really meant nothing!
Qin Guan led Ye Xuan into a grand hall. Upon entering, Ye Xuan saw several familiar faces. Leading them was Xiao Ai, Qin Guan’s capable assistant!
Nearby were Old Wu and a group of scholars from the Martial Pavilion.
Ye Xuan knew these people specialised in researching and organising martial arts! Now, it seemed the Martial Pavilion had many more members!
Qin Guan suddenly said, “Xiao Xuanzi, there is one matter I think you need to take seriously!”
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan. “What is it?”
Qin Guan said earnestly, “That is to raise the overall martial arts level of our Guanxuan Universe!”
Overall improvement!
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “What do you mean?”
Qin Guan smiled. “Before us, the Guanxuan Universe was not unified. Various universes were sealed off, each governing itself. Some places had high martial civilisation, others very low. In those low places, improvement was extremely difficult. So, my suggestion is to replan the universe, reorganise all realms, then formulate new cultivation methods, popularise them everywhere, and raise the martial civilisation of the entire Guanxuan Universe. This way, the starting point for all cultivators becomes higher. In the future, cultivation for later generations will be much simpler than for people of our era.”
Ye Xuan thought about it, then said, “Your idea is completely feasible!”
He now felt that martial civilisation in some places was truly too low. In such places, with low martial civilisation, many ordinary people found it hard to rise.
If new realms and cultivation methods were popularised, cultivation for everyone would become relatively much simpler!
Qin Guan nodded slightly. “However, there is a drawback. Many geniuses and prodigies will emerge, along with countless cultivators. As they grow stronger, they will continuously plunder the world’s spiritual energy!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
A world’s spiritual energy was often limited. If plundered without end, the ultimate result would be the world’s collapse and destruction!
Qin Guan suddenly said, “Actually, I have a way to address this!”
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan. Qin Guan smiled. “First, the destruction of a universe is inevitable. It cannot be stopped, just like birth, ageing, illness, and death in the mortal world. It is fundamentally unavoidable. So, what we can do is slow the speed of universe extinction. That means sustainable resource development, no overexploitation, and strictly prohibiting cultivators from wantonly killing myriad spirits and heavenly dao spirits. Not only must we protect these myriad spirits and heavenly dao, but we must let them cultivate well and give back to the heavens and earth. In other words, from now on, all spiritual beings must be protected like national treasures!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Feasible!”
Qin Guan continued, “My people are already researching various arrays. These arrays will be deployed across universes. Their function is to maintain the cyclic use of spiritual energy and reduce dissipation. Besides that, there is one more thing that needs your approval!”
Ye Xuan said, “Speak!”
Qin Guan said solemnly, “That is, for all fallen cultivators, the spiritual energy, essence, qi, and spirit they cultivated must ultimately return to the heavens and earth!”
Ye Xuan said, “This is a good thing!”
Qin Guan nodded. “It is good, but there is a drawback: the physical body and divine soul will dissipate into the heavens and earth!”
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed.
Many forces properly buried their fallen predecessors.
Qin Guan said solemnly, “If not implemented well, it will cause resentment.”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “How about this: for all who fall, if they are willing to give back to the heavens and earth, they can enter reincarnation and be reborn! After all, even if unwilling at the time, buried in the soil, over time they turn to dust. We can establish a complete reincarnation system. All who fall can immediately enter reincarnation and be reborn. This way, I believe they will all be very willing!”
Qin Guan blinked. “This method is naturally excellent!”
Ye Xuan said softly, “This way, we also need to build a complete reincarnation system.”
Qin Guan nodded. “There are many things to do to make the Guanxuan Universe more perfect. However, this is also a good thing. Unify the entire universe, standardise it, establish new order. It is extremely beneficial for the whole universe.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Indeed!”
With that, he glanced at Qin Guan. He had to admit, this Qin Guan had helped him a lot. Otherwise, the academy would probably still be a mess!
Qin Guan walked inside. “Come, let me show you a new toy!”
Ye Xuan grew curious at once and hurriedly followed.
