Li Changzhou opened his eyes. The others had already been selected and were sharing information.

"Brother, what did you get?" Li Qianxia asked curiously.

"We'll talk about it later."

Li Changzhou had no intention of trading either [Heaven's Will - Law] or [Heaven's Will - Mechanical Domination], and there was no need for him to leak information about them.

He observed the expressions on everyone's faces; some were happy, some were indifferent, and some were dejected.

"Since you all have your own destiny, return what I gave you before."

Everyone contributed on the Heavenly Journey, but it was still not enough to match the will of Heaven. It was done in advance as a precaution to ensure that everyone could break through when they encountered danger, but now it is natural to take it back.

The crowd's lips twitched, as if they were about to say, "Didn't we say we wouldn't steal?" But this was definitely not stealing.

"We don't need to exchange the will of heaven with Shanhai City. Any one will do, or we can choose not to hand it over, but the rest of the competition must continue."

After speaking, Li Changzhou looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the others: "Please make yourselves at home, fairies."

These goddesses and fairies were not his people, nor did they take his divine will—Chang'e was an exception, so naturally she did not need to pay divine will, nor did she need to continue to risk her life with him.

Li Changzhou gave them time to consider and then quickly set up a soundproof array.

Within the array's light barrier, he interacted with Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, ​​and Yaochi.

Li Qianxia is [Heavenly Will·Flowing Light], capable of flying at the speed of light and propelling any object she can pick up to the speed of light.

Unlike the Light Clan of the Divine Will Great Wall, the speed of light achieved by the will of heaven can still escape the speed of light and will not be bound by the speed of light.

“This is a difficult destiny,” Li Qianxia further explained. “At first, we can only use the speed of light as a kind of escape technique. We need to figure out all the wonders on our own.”

"Do you plan to merge?" Li Changzhou asked her.

"I don't plan to."

"I don't recommend it either. With your intelligence, after the fusion, you'll only be able to travel at the speed of light for the rest of your life."

"You have such a foul mouth, I'll punish you with a thousand cuts sooner or later," Li Qianxia said hatefully.

Yang Qinglan obtained the [Heavenly Will - Qi Connects Heaven and Earth].

Two functions.

First, one can merge one's own aura with that of heaven and earth, and no matter how much magic power one has or how much one has consumed, one can fully replenish it in one breath.

Second, conceal your presence.

A rather useless twist of fate.

"Young Miss, what about you?" Li Changzhou asked Yaochi.

Yaochi smiled and opened her palm, the Heavenly Will Ball floating in her hand.

【Name: Heavenly Will - Capturing the Celestial Light】

[Effect: After fusion, one gains the power to control the divine light of heaven—seventy-two beams of divine light surround the body, and a single ray of divine light can suppress an opponent with the same 'ability'.]

[Rating: Galaxy-level]

"A mere wisp of immortal light can make one invincible within the same realm; imagine the power of seventy-two strikes!" Li Changzhou exclaimed in admiration.

"We still don't know how effective it will be against Tianyi." Yaochi was also quite satisfied.

"This is a galaxy-level artifact, one of the top ten strongest Heavenly Wills!" Li Qianxia exclaimed enviously. "Sister Yao, are you planning to fuse with it?"

Before Yaochi could speak, Li Changzhou laughed and said, "Who said these are the top ten strongest?"

"Isn't the galaxy-level the strongest?" Li Qianxia asked, a mix of understanding and doubt.

Yaochi thought for a moment, and her beautiful eyes lit up.

"Quick, take it out!" She stretched out her hand at Li Changzhou with a mix of excitement, amusement, and a touch of arrogance.

"You're so lucky?" Yang Qinglan didn't believe it.

The two would occasionally go on secret dates, and like a young couple, they bought scratch-off lottery tickets at the mall. Li Changzhou never won a single one, not even 10 yuan!

"I'm so unlucky to have married you?" Li Changzhou said with a smile, taking out two Heavenly Will Balls.

"Really the strongest?" Li Qianxia was stunned. "This is only the first competition, and you've already won the title of strongest, bro?!"

“I don’t believe it either, but it’s true.” Li Changzhou looked at Yaochi. “Take it if you want. I’m not interested in machinery.”

Five celestial orbs floated in the center of the four people; they were the most beautiful treasures in the world.

“Sister Yao, you take it,” Li Qianxia said. “My brother is really bad at math and physics, otherwise he wouldn’t be the top liberal arts student.”

"...Can't you speak properly? Be careful, or I'll order you to hang yourself."

Li Changzhou had never watched "Empresses in the Palace," but Li Qianxia had sent him memes such as "Given a white silk ribbon," "Thrown into the cold palace," "The emperor is truly so heartless," and "You're just asking for death."

The meme "I have truly misplaced my trust" is usually used when Li Changzhou doesn't treat people to meals, play games with them, or help with PowerPoint presentations.

As for Li Qianxia letting Yaochi fuse with the true heart of this divine will, it was because Yaochi was stubborn and insisted on having only the strongest, which was the most likely cause of trouble in the upcoming competition.

The other two—

Li Changzhou possesses the ability to "do as he pleases," allowing him to freely merge with the will of Heaven, which he can then erase.

Li Qianxia herself had a "whatever happens, happens" attitude towards the strongest. If she was about to die, she would definitely merge with a lower-level Heavenly Will to save her life.

Yaochi thought for a moment, glanced at the brother and sister, and then turned her gaze to Yang Qinglan.

Yang Qinglan, holding the Ruyi scepter, nodded with a slight smile.

"Alright!" Yaochi smiled gracefully, like a spring breeze caressing willows, decisive and charming. "Then I won't be polite!"

“But be careful.” Li Changzhou fiddled with the useless prayer beads. “Different destinies are not the same, but with Pisces as a cautionary tale, the ‘strongest’ must be treated with utmost care.”

"I wonder if 'Xiaojing' has a solution." Yang Qinglan pondered.

"I have confidence in myself, and besides, [Heaven's Will - Mechanical Overlord] is different from [Heaven's Will - Time]."

“Alright, let’s go to the Honey Pot World,” Li Changzhou said.

"Oh~~?" Li Qianxia smiled mischievously, "Brother, are you going too?"
