Li Xin didn't concern himself with external matters; after returning to Kyoto Base City, he continued to Cultivate. At this point, improving his strength was still quite easy for him.
"The second level of 'Extinguish Star' requires a twenty-five-fold psychic amplitude to Cultivate. My current psychic amplitude is twenty-fold, so it's not far off. I can Cultivate in this aspect."
"I've just comprehended the first level of Light Domain. While Cultivating my psychic power, I can combine it with the Domain to deepen my understanding of the Domain."
"The Eternal Divine Furnace still has sufficient energy. I need to seize the time to advance to Planetary Level Nine, then I can begin to Breakthrough to Astral Rank."
".............."
After arranging his Cultivation plan, Li Xin focused on Cultivating.
Although Li Xin himself did not interfere with external affairs, the entire Earth experienced drastic upheaval because of Li Xin.
As Li Xin's factories grew larger and produced mechanical puppets faster, the China Military Region, in order to purchase more mechanical puppets, naturally deployed a large number of the purchased mechanical puppets into the war against the monsters.
Then, they obtained Materials from the monsters, developed expensive metal ore veins occupied by monsters, and absorbed bio-energy from the monsters. Only in this way could they supply the massive mechanical puppet army.
Initially, the China Military Region merely swept the monsters around the six major Base Cities, but as the China Military Region continuously intensified its sweeping efforts, the nearby monsters rioted, causing an immense beast tide.
Just when other forces thought the China Base City would suffer heavy losses or even be annihilated, countless mechanical puppets rushed out from within the Base City, engaging in a world-shaking battle with the beast tide.
That battle was fought in utter darkness, with rivers of blood, and an unknown number of monsters perished in that great war.
However, not a single China Base City suffered heavy damage; in fact, those monsters couldn't even get close to the city walls of the Base City.
This battle made everyone in the world realize that China would no longer fear monsters. They even had the ability to eliminate monsters and reclaim their lost territories!
Since the Great Nirvana began, monsters have been humanity's greatest enemy, and humans have always been suppressed by monsters, unable to raise their heads.
Now, they saw the hope of completely eliminating monsters!
"No matter what, we must acquire those robots!"
At this moment, almost all forces frantically desired to purchase robots.
"Only forces within the China Faction can purchase them!"
After that battle, Li Xin opened up the purchasing authority for mechanical puppets. Not only could the China Military Region purchase them, but all forces within the China Faction could, as long as they could afford it.
At the same time, both the Dojo of Limits and Thunder Martial Hall simultaneously announced their allegiance to the China Faction.
When this news broke, the entire globe was shocked. This meant that the world's first, second, and third strongest individuals had all sided with China, instantly making China the largest force globally!
"Li Xin's ambition is too great. He wants to unify all forces globally. This is forcing us to bow down!"
The HR Alliance and other major forces were now very clear about Li Xin's ambition, but as the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a Phoenix. They were accustomed to being superior, so how could they surrender to China?
Thus, a stalemate lasted for half a year. During this period, China extensively reclaimed territory by hunting monsters and recovering lost lands.
This caused monsters throughout the world to riot, making other forces suffer immensely.
"My Cultivation speed has slowed down!"
Li Xin recalled his Cultivation progress over the past six months and couldn't help but frown.
He had now reached Planetary Level Nine, his psychic amplitude had reached forty-fold, and his Light Domain was at the fifth level. However, as his strength grew, he increasingly felt that his progress was slowing down.
"Is it mainly because I lack opponents? Cultivating in isolation is ultimately too slow!"
In recent days, Hong and Thunder God still frequently came to spar with him, but as his strength continuously improved, Hong and Thunder God couldn't even withstand a single move from him, so naturally, they didn't continue to spar later on.
【Eternal Divine Brain No.1 upgrade progress has reached 100%, Eternal Divine Furnace energy is sufficient, can be upgraded】
Over the past six months, according to the Legacy technology of Eternal God Brain, Eternal God Brain 2 had been researching and upgrading Eternal Divine Brain No.1. After more than half a year, Eternal Divine Brain finally reached the Planetary Level limit!
"Advance!"
After Li Xin returned to the spaceship, he adjusted his state, fully activated the spaceship's defenses, and then chose to upgrade.
The next moment, countless pieces of information about Eternal God Brain surged in like a vast flood. Even though Eternal Divine Brain No.1 had already reached the Planetary Level limit,
under such a massive information torrent, its computational talent operated at full capacity, yet it still couldn't withstand the impact of such a terrifying information torrent.
"Ah!!!!!"
Li Xin's head experienced the familiar, excruciating pain from before. It felt as if something was expanding inside his head, or perhaps something was constantly digging into his head, making him feel as if he wished he could die!
"My heart is like clear ice, unmoved even if the sky falls..."
Even while enduring such intense pain, Li Xin still gritted his teeth, forcing himself to sit cross-legged on the ground. His hands did not beat his head, but instead, he sat on the ground like a Daoist meditating.
In recent days, he had collected and thoroughly read various classics from the Hundred Schools of Thought in China's history, and he had also consulted Hong and Thunder God about matters of mental Cultivation.
In terms of cultivating his mind, he could be considered to have initially entered the Dao. Therefore, this kind of pain, for his former self, would have been unbearable, requiring various outlets to alleviate it.
But at this moment, he could forcibly endure this pain, making his heart like a core of ice, with a cool current flowing through his blood, alleviating the Physical Body's pain.
And so, in this excruciating state, he forcibly endured for a full half-month.
"Slash for me!!"
At the last moment, Li Xin, with a powerful will, condensed his spiritual power into a sword. The sword light flashed and disappeared, cutting through everything, even the pain on his body was completely cut away in that instant.
"My heart is like a clear mirror, unstained by a speck of dust; my heart is condensed like a sword, cutting through all illusions."
"I guess my mind Cultivation has entered the Dao."
Li Xin opened his eyes, exhaled a turbid breath, feeling incredibly relaxed. His eyes were clear and bright, looking directly into his true self!
At the same time, Eternal Divine Brain No.1 completed its upgrade, and Li Xin's own strength also reached Astral Rank One.
"I didn't expect that whether it was the previous advancement to Planetary Level or this advancement to Astral Rank, both caused such severe pain in my head and Soul. This is because it's a process of the Eternal God Brain completely Fusion with my Soul."
"Now that I've advanced to Astral Rank, the Eternal God Brain is completely Fusion with me. Even if my human original Physical Body dies, I can still Rebirth from Eternal Divine Brain No.1, just like other Eternal God Brains."
"As long as Eternal Divine Brain No.1 is protected from destruction, then I am immortal!"
Within the Legacy information of the Eternal God Brain, Li Xin found the true reason for his previous agonizing headaches. This instantly made him feel incredibly secure.
He was now unafraid of Soul attacks; no one could enslave his Soul, and no one could kill him through his Soul.
With the Eternal God Brain, even if his human original Physical Body died, he could still be reborn. As long as Eternal Divine Brain No.1 was not destroyed, he was completely an existence that feared no death.
"Eternal Divine Brain 3 currently doesn't have a suitable Clone to Fuse with, so I'll keep it for now."
Li Xin planned to use the third Clone to Fuse with a Clone that would help him comprehend Law, so it would ideally be a special life form, or at least a Starry Sky Giant Beast whose attributes matched his own.
"Light Domain, Sixth Level!"
Li Xin unleashed his Light Domain. Under the computation of the Astral Rank Eternal Divine Brain No.1, his comprehension of the Light Domain progressed by leaps and bounds.
He stood in the sunlight, unconsciously comprehending. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and his Light Domain advanced from the fifth level to the sixth level!
This comprehension ability was even stronger than before!
