The door opened, and Aferona walked in, somewhat surprised.

Aside from seeing Li Changzhou sitting in the center of the room with her own eyes, she could not sense his presence through any other means, including through the mafia mistress.

"My lord, the death list is roughly complete." She reported while observing discreetly.

She quickly ruled out the possibility that the Li Changzhou in front of her was an imposter.

Having been Li Changzhou's mistress for so long, she had developed a feeling about his every move. After observing him for a while, she could tell whether the person in front of her was him or not.

Li Changzhou looked at the list but said nothing.

Life and death are preordained; what can one say?

He looked at half of the list and then put it aside.

Just as I was about to give a few instructions, asking Aferona to quickly fill the company positions created by the player's death, Aferona spoke up:

"Sir, please look at the last page."

"Oh?" Li Changzhou waved his right index and middle fingers, and the last thick list flew out from the bottom.

There are only three names listed.

【A Soft Cloud - Huang Yuting】

[No Light - Nice]

【Crow croaking-Riko Yamagishi】

“My lord,” Aferona glanced at Li Changzhou’s expression and explained, “these three people contacted the company on their own initiative and informed the company that they had entered the top 10 billion, with Huang Yuting and Nice entering the top 10 million.”

"They contacted you proactively? Only the three of them?"

"yes."

Li Changzhou took the floating list in his hand, flicked the paper, and smiled, "This proves that your governance is quite good, at least you have the support of some people."

"No, it is your rule that wins the hearts of the people."

"Haha." Li Changzhou laughed twice, then put the list down again. "Reward them, train them, allow them to enter the S-level national treasury, let them choose any item, and let them join the exploration team."

"yes!"

"You've been quite busy lately, you can go now."

Aferona has a lot going on.

The various consequences of the massive player deaths and the confirmation of many positions were enough to keep her up for a month without sleep.

There's also the issue of "game permissions," which involves forming a management team, an exploration team, discussing the number of games played (some players will definitely request a reduction in the number of games played), and deliberating on event plans.

This is also why Li Changzhou told her not to enter the game anymore and to focus on handling company affairs—one of the key reasons being that her own strength improved along with Li Changzhou's.

After Aferona left, Li Changzhou teleported to Mercury, arriving at the planet closest to the sun.

Mercury is only 0.387 astronomical units (57.89 million kilometers) from the Sun, and the Sun's energy pours down on Mercury's surface like a torrential rain.

There are even lakes of liquid metal here.

Li Changzhou took out the divine tree and let it grow freely.

Thick roots spread endlessly, like countless giant pythons coiling around the side of Mercury facing the sun.

It absorbs all the power of Mercury, its huge and broad canopy pointing towards the sun almost like a mother suckling milk, drawing energy from the star.

Li Changzhou spread his five fingers, and the energy wave of the black hand gathered in his palm.

The five fingers suddenly closed, and the energy wave was instantly compressed.

With a crackling sound, black lightning appeared around the energy wave, which was the size of a ping-pong ball, due to the highly concentrated energy.

"Whoosh!" Li Changzhou released the energy wave.

Accompanied by black lightning, the energy ball drew a black line in the air. Before the contrail-like black line could completely disappear, a loud bang was heard.

A massive mushroom cloud rises.

A devastating black light spread, evaporating and engulfing the surface of Mercury.

This is why Li Changzhou didn't go to Jupiter, but came to Mars instead—to replenish the divine tree while also getting familiar with "qi".

If this happened on Jupiter, it might cause a 'hydrogen transformation'.

It's no good to be unfamiliar with 'qi'. You have to use what you get, otherwise you might make mistakes due to lack of experience when you actually need to use it.

He also made some preparations for this.

Li Changzhou landed on a thick branch of the divine tree, took out a tablet computer protected by magic, and went to a video website to watch a pre-downloaded clip of "Dragon Ball".

He doesn't have time to watch the entire Dragon Ball series.

After watching a half-minute video, he spread his five fingers towards the sky, and the energy ball gathered again in his palm, then the black ball turned into a disc.

It's a very thin, pancake-like shape, and it makes a sharp buzzing sound.

Whoosh!

The black, circular energy slash rolled out, from the foot of the divine tree all the way to the horizon. Looking out, Mercury appeared as if it had been cleaved open, revealing a huge crack.

Its power is extremely terrifying.

In the original Dragon Ball manga, apart from Majin Buu who can regenerate himself, no one can withstand a Destructo Disc without getting hurt.

Li Changzhou stared at the tablet and watched another video.

"Oh, it can also be equipped with an automatic tracking function—not just the Ki Circle Slash, but any Ki wave should be able to track the Ki, as long as you know the opponent's Ki."

The more Li Changzhou studied it, the more he felt that Qi could be his primary means of attack.

Using Qi, in a sense, can maximize the use of his abilities and [divine body], the former can be transformed into Qi, and the latter can be refined into Qi.

In terms of richness and functionality, magical powers are certainly better, but in terms of combat power, Qi is undoubtedly superior.

[The Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals should not be abandoned either,] Guanyin is always watching over him, [it can broaden your horizons, enrich your techniques in 'qi,' give you a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and allow you to go further on the path of cultivation.]

“Yes, I understand.” Li Changzhou nodded.

He sighed again, "If only there were more time."
