While the body was recovering its energy in Yaochi, the machinery had already returned.

They brought in materials, and a small portion stayed behind, not going out again, to build warehouses, organize the materials, and store them.

It's practically an automated factory.

The vast, empty land has been transformed into a landscape dotted with countless warehouses.

Yaochi waved her hand again, and some of the machinery began to be assembled in another kind of factory. This factory would grind ordinary and inferior materials into gears and assemble them into new machinery.

As long as there are enough materials, production will continue indefinitely.

It can also automatically absorb the essence of heaven and earth to maintain its power.

“【Heaven’s Will, Creator】It takes half a day to create a rabbit. By the time I gather two rabbits to reproduce, Sister Yao will have already ruled the entire universe.” Li Qianxia couldn’t help but feel envious.

"That's because you're not good enough, don't blame fate," Li Changzhou said honestly.

Li Qianxia rolled her eyes at her brother, then said happily, "It's so much easier when we're all working together. Now we just have to wait."

“We can’t wait,” Li Changzhou said. “Cultivation relies on experience, not the accumulation of years. Otherwise, those old monsters would have been invincible long ago. Let’s go and see this city.”

Yang Qinglan and Yaochi both nodded.

Li Qianxia naturally had no objections; she listened to her brother on important matters.

Before leaving, Li Changzhou set up an array by taking the array talisman directly from the Dao Flower.

With this talisman, it's as if he himself is present, allowing him to adjust, control, and repair the formation when facing an enemy.

Considering that the participants who came to the fourth holy city were either experts or people with strong will, he used the Thunder Talisman as the core of the formation to greatly enhance the power of the formation talisman.

Looking out, the vast expanse of land, stretching for millions of miles, has transformed into a boundless blue ocean—this is the Thunder Sea.

When encountering enemies, Lei Hai will manifest Lei Ling to fight them.

There are islands in the sea of ​​thunder; those are warehouses where machinery can enter and exit without hindrance.

The array talismans are also frequently deployed on these machines, including defensive arrays, teleportation arrays, storage space arrays, and so on.

This place has already become a powerful military empire.

"Let's go!" Li Changzhou soared into the sky.

The four traveled to the fourth city, traversing mountains and seas.

The creatures here are incredibly diverse and powerful. Although they didn't experience a significant improvement in their abilities during their travels, they still gained a great deal.

Needless to say, Yang Qinglan, as the holder of [Heaven's Will and Dao Harmony], naturally benefits from having as many unfamiliar things in the world as possible;

Yaochi has enriched its mechanical sample library;

Li Qianxia gained a deeper understanding of creation and also studied the [Death Line] and [Life Line] she had just learned.

If she could do it, then Li Changzhou would be even more capable.

"Unfortunately, none of them are particularly strong and are no match for me." Li Changzhou thrust out his spear with the inscription "Those who oppose me shall perish," and the nine-headed dragon of the Heavenly Rank before him burned like paper and disappeared from the world.

Every move he makes is 'those who oppose me perish.' He is consolidating this strategy and hopes to learn from the past to gain new insights, just as Yang Qinglan said: 'Looking back, we can take another step forward.'

"What's the use of having high combat power? The one who survives to the end is the victor." Yaochi had her own principles.

"Without the strongest fighting force, how can you survive to the end?" Li Changzhou asked.

The two began to discuss philosophy.

"Your combat power is high, and you keep challenging yourself to get even higher. Your probability of dying is definitely higher than mine. What's the use of having higher combat power than me if you die one day? Of course, I won't let you die. If you really die, I won't live either."

"I might die, but those with higher combat strength will survive. How will those like you, who believe that survival is the most important thing, deal with this person?"

“You’ve entered a dead end. Survival is the most important thing, but it’s not the only important thing. Combat strength and strategy are equally important. For example, you, no matter how high your combat strength is, what good is it? You still have to lick my feet.”

“If it were me, you would certainly let me lick your feet, but what about others?” Li Changzhou asked.

"Hey!" Li Qianxia was speechless, sensing that something was off between the two.

“It’s simple. Join forces with you and those who think survival is important, and kill the ones with higher combat power,” Yaochi said.

"But there will always be one person with the highest combat power."

“If this person becomes a saint and I am still in the Heavenly Position, then naturally there is nothing more to say, and I admit defeat.”

"If it were just you, the Corpse Gene, or the True Dragon, I could easily join forces with you and the Crown Princess to kill you all. As for the relationship between you and me and the Crown Princess, one of us relies on love, and the other relies on you and on schemes."

"It's not that I don't value combat strength, but I will improve myself while ensuring that I am not in danger of death. My speed may not be as fast as yours, but your mortality rate is also high."

How do you know I didn't ensure my own safety?

"You're not guaranteeing, you're being confident. So-called confidence? Ha, before Lord Ye saw the dragon, he must have been very confident, believing that he really liked the dragon."

"I understand now. You're with me only to ensure your ultimate victory?"

"It was at first, but not later."

"Sigh, my feelings for Qinglan are the truest, without any self-interest involved."

“No,” Yang Qinglan rejected. “We got together in the first place for safety, for survival.”

"...Indeed, only between siblings is there true affection without any self-interest."

"That's true, but brother, only thinking of me when no one else wants me will only cause our friendship, which has no mutual benefit, to vanish."

"I don't think so," Li Changzhou said with a mysterious confidence.

But Li Qianxia could not refute it.

There are also drawbacks to having four people together.

The clash of opinions helps refine one's will and avoid being exploited by the enemy in battle, which is good, but the topic always seems to shift without one realizing it.
