Chapter 57 Disadvantages

Outside the closed venue, Li Yi and Lin Guotao walked side by side.

Lin Guotao walked and said:

"I haven't seen you for a month. You've made great progress. It looks like you'll be able to break through the limit for the second time soon. Have you already arranged for other divine radiations?"

"Yes, I have received divine radiation from the four orders of the God of Wind, God of Fire, God of Ice, and God of Life."

"You have a big appetite. With your own Celestial God Pluto, you have five kinds of divine radiation in total. You will have a lot of pressure to be promoted to the Heavenly Rank."

Lin Guotao was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect that despite such serious instructions, Li Yi would still be so reckless.

Of course, if he knew that Li Yi actually received eight kinds of divine radiation, including the God of Wind and the God of Fire in plural.

Most of them will be angry to death.

"Let's talk about the rest later. If you don't accept these divine radiations, it will probably be impossible to become an evolver in a short period of time, catch up with the progress, and enter the ruins of ancient civilization."

Of course Li Yi knew that Lin Guotao cared about this.

However, he has his own means of increasing the strength of his soul, so he doesn't have to worry about these things.

Therefore, it is best to pretend that you have to do this.

After all, if Lin Guotao no longer provides relevant information, resources and assistance, he will also be troubled.

"You are just too impatient."

Lin Guotao shook his head and said:

"That's good. Adding five sequences together also has its advantages. Although it increases the difficulty, the strength it breeds is bound to reach a higher level."

"The key is to persevere. Don't be afraid of wasting time, don't worry about being overtaken by your peers, and don't be content to sit on the bench."

"As long as you are determined, I will not stop you. On the contrary, I will strongly support you."

Li Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could just get away with it.

As he spoke, Lin Guotao took out a retro-style box from his arms and handed it to Li Yi.

"It's not easy to apply for this ideological steel pillar. It took a lot of time to go through the review. If the review requirements were not so strict, I would have come to see you half a month earlier."

Li Yi took it and found that the box was light and had a strange friction feeling when he touched it.

“Why has the audit become so strict?”

"It's complicated to explain. To put it simply, Cabin 7 was almost blown up by a cult a while ago. If it weren't for the abnormal behavior detected by the AI, we would have had to abandon Cabin 7."

"Is this cult really so powerful that it could evade scrutiny and sneak into our fleet?"

Lin Guotao glanced at Li Yi, pondered for a moment, and said:

"You keep what I'm going to say to yourself and don't tell anyone else, understand?"

Li Yi's heart trembled: "I understand."

"This evil cult calls itself the True Saint Cult. They have mastered the remains of many ancient civilizations and obtained a large number of ideological steel pillars from them. They have used them to develop some kind of ability to deceive people, intending to subvert the entire Xingyu Federation and welcome the arrival of their so-called True Saint."

"This time, when Module 7 was receiving supplies on Mars, a logistics manager was bewitched by a powerful steel pillar of thought while he was out, and was converted into a believer of the True Saint Church."

"At the time, he managed to avoid scrutiny because he carried a steel pole of thought."

"Afterwards, he carried that ideological steel pillar with him and continued to deceive important managers."

"Half a month ago, that person was detected as suspicious by AI. You can probably guess what happened next."

"Sir, what should we do with those who have been bewitched?"

"One was shot dead on the spot because he wanted to detonate the energy center. Two were too deeply bewitched and their minds could no longer return to normal. The remaining three were in milder conditions and have been freed of their mental control using our thought steel pillars."

At this point, Lin Guotao let out a sigh of relief:

“This is also one of the disadvantages of allowing private capital to control aerospace technology.”

"It was during the explosion of aerospace technology that countless private investors frequently used ancient star gates to travel to distant stars. This also led to the secret excavation of some ancient civilization ruins by some private investors, who then mastered the terrifying technologies hidden within them."

"We speculate that the True Saint Church was born in this context, a human monster with infinite ambitions."

"Therefore, every ideological steel pillar is a strategic resource for us."

"So, you must preserve this pillar of thought and make good use of it."

After hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but feel the box in his hand getting heavy.

…

Today, Li Yi returned to the dormitory for a rare visit.

When the steel pillar of thought is released from the sealed box, it will generate a spiritual field in the surrounding environment and interfere with humans.

The materials used to make dormitories are sufficiently airtight.

It can minimize interference with the outside world.

As for the specific visualization methods and related information, he had already used the memory fragments captured in his dreams to learn a lot of information that was not available in the literature.

Therefore, although he has not put it into practice, he has become quite proficient in using the visualization method.

“There are two modes of visualization.”

"The first method is to directly visualize the steel pillar itself. The advantage is that it is simple and direct, and the risk level is not high. The disadvantage is that it lacks stamina."

"The second is to build a self-steel stamp on the steel pillar of thought, and use the self-steel stamp to strengthen my spiritual characteristics in turn, which is equivalent to making a steel stamp for myself."

"The advantage of this method is that it improves quickly and produces outstanding results. The disadvantage is that it can easily exaggerate personal characteristics and cause mental imbalance."

"But my innate ability should be able to ignore the problem of mental imbalance."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Moreover, by using my rich memories of parallel worlds, I should be able to create a self-imprint with richer information."

"So, choose the second one!"

After summarizing it in his mind, Li Yi began to try.

…

The next morning.

Inside the closed training hall.

There are still a few minutes left before the official training gathering.

Cai Xiaodong yawned and sat down next to Li Yi, and found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.

After looking around, Cai Xiaodong realized that everyone was looking at Li Yi.

"Hey, Li Yi, why are your eyes so bright? Damn, your charm value increases by another 50%!"

Li Yi pinched his brows and said with a headache: "Okay, stop making trouble. I don't want to be treated as a monkey in the zoo and attracted onlookers."

The combination of the steel pillar of thought and the countless memories in his mind was like the collision of dry wood and fire.

Instantly digesting a large amount of redundant memory fragments in the mind, forming an extremely terrifying self-imprint.

With the support of this thing, Li Yi only tried it once and his soul was strengthened to its current limit.

You can only try again after your soul has adapted to this enhancement.

Eyes are the windows to the soul.

The extreme strengthening of his soul and the engraving of his self-imprint also allowed him to evolve from having bright eyes to having electric eyes.

If Cai Xiaodong were to comment, he would say that there are more stories in Li Yi's eyes.

On this side, squad leader Fang Tao also came over and teased, "Li Yi, put away your damn charm. If you continue like this, several determined female soldiers in our class will be conquered by your eyes."

Li Yi sighed and said, "Since you are a determined female warrior, don't be distracted."

"Haha, I won't tease you anymore, let's start gathering!"

…

After the assembly was completed, Chen Qiongzhi began her speech as usual.

"Today I will focus on the selection of ancient civilization relics."

"Twenty days ago, our advance team sent back some intelligence from the ruins of an ancient civilization called Tianshu, replicating the main information for entering the checkpoint."

"Based on this information, we created a virtual reality that simulates the first five of these levels."

"Therefore, after discussion among the three instructors of our special class, we have decided on a new format for the three-class competition this time."

"That is, whoever can clear the first five levels of the virtual reality will be able to enter the ruins."

"Of course, the basic requirements remain unchanged."

"You must meet the following four conditions at the same time: an Evolver, master divine skills, have a total divine activation time of more than 3 minutes, and a total divine mecha activity time of more than 1 hour when the starship arrives at its destination. Only then will the quota be valid. Do you understand?"
