"Your Majesty, how is it? Is this pressure appropriate?"
"Hmm, it's a bit small. Let's raise it by one ampere."
"Okay!"
Jiang Yan witnessed a scene that was both laughable and absurd as soon as he arrived at the R&D center.
The tall, craftsman god, holding something that looked like an electric current transmitter, was squatting obsequiously to the side, giving the third emperor's portrait a massage.
When the other person's expression softened slightly, he took out a densely filled drawing from his pocket and cautiously approached to ask questions.
After receiving the answer, he bowed deeply in respect before leaving happily.
But then another researcher with only diamond-level strength stepped forward, fawned over the current transmitter, and repeated the previous scene.
Jiang Yan even saw a group of people arguing fiercely over the right to provide services not far away.
Good heavens!
I thought that I would be very popular here as the third emperor, but I never expected my status to be this high.
Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Yan stepped forward and coughed softly.
But the researcher seemed too engrossed in the task and didn't immediately recognize Jiang Yan's voice, turning his head away somewhat displeased.
"Didn't we agree... Ah! Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was momentarily..."
"It's alright."
Jiang Yan interrupted with a smile, "Do you have any questions you'd like to ask? Let me see them."
"Ah! Thank you, Lord God!"
A look of delight appeared on the researcher's face. He happily took out a blueprint with a complex array structure and handed it over: "My Lord, regarding the research on this magical element scaling array, I have been stuck at a 1.7x amplification. I have seen that some ordinary divine artifacts can achieve at least a 2x amplification. I humbly request your guidance on the direction of improvement."
"Um..."
Jiang Yan glanced at it, and the smile on his face immediately froze.
Are even diamond-level weaklings starting to study such profound questions now?
"Your research direction is wrong. You should focus more on the area of elemental resonance frequencies. The energy transfer equation can be further optimized in this way; you could consider adding spatial compensation at these three nodes..."
Liu Ying let out a barely perceptible sigh and offered a word of explanation to defuse the situation.
"Ahem...that's right. The main focus is on optimizing the energy transfer equations, increasing spatial compensation at these three nodes, and concentrating on the resonant frequency domain of elements..."
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and, repeating the words of the third emperor, gave instructions in a serious manner.
These researchers are all his followers. If they really can't answer the question, it will affect their image and even cause them to lose some of their faith.
"That's right... How could I not have thought of that... Thank you, Lord God! Thank you, Emperor!"
The researcher's eyes lit up, and he thanked them repeatedly.
"You're welcome. Go and continue your research."
Jiang Yan gently dismissed the researcher, waved his hand to set up a barrier around them, and said:
"senior..."
"Are you asking me how to break through to the highest level?"
Before Jiang Yan could finish speaking, Liu Ying interrupted him.
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, senior."
Jiang Yan was not surprised and explained his situation in detail: "Logically speaking, I have unified the beliefs of all realms and the laws I created have reached their limit. Why am I still unable to break through? Could it be that I am going in the wrong direction?"
"You're on the right track; these are indeed two commonly used paths."
Liu Ying shook his head slightly and said, "However, none of these are applicable to you for the time being."
"Why?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan was taken aback and quickly asked.
"The authority of faith and law is limited; it can only support one person to reach the highest level at a time. Although faith now belongs to you, Lovis has taken away a portion of the authority of the Holy Light. Until she voluntarily relinquishes it or falls, you will no longer be able to break through on this path."
Jiang Yan frowned; this truly was an unsolvable problem.
Even if the opponent is not at their peak and has lost the Book of Creation, they are still supreme beings. Even if you could find them, you couldn't keep them, let alone kill them.
Damn it, it really is true that evil lives on for a thousand years.
With a helpless sigh, Jiang Yan continued to ask:
"What about the path of laws?"
"It's not the right time yet."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Many people know that I achieved the highest position by creating the laws of the undead."
Liu Ying said calmly, "But few people know that relying on creating laws to break through is also known as 'merging with the Dao' in some long-forgotten myths."
"Harmony with the Dao?"
"That's right. Simply put, it means sacrificing a part of oneself to achieve the perfection of the law."
“I don’t understand. I haven’t sensed any guidance from the laws.”
Jiang Yan shook his head.
"That's why I say, it's not the right time yet."
A strange look appeared in Liu Ying's eyes: "There are some things that can't be said right now, but you just need to understand that nothing in this world happens without a reason, and no good thing or preferential treatment is given to one person for no reason."
"Of course I know that."
Jiang Yan chuckled and nodded, showing no surprise on her face.
To gain something, you must pay a corresponding price; that's fair.
But if the preferential treatment given by the various realms was in the hope that he could finally resolve the abyss, then what was the purpose of the third emperor who gave him even more help?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan raised his head and looked directly at Liu Ying, saying, "I have received a lot of care from you, senior. I wonder if there is anything you need me to do? Please speak frankly. I will do whatever I can, and I will try my best to do what I cannot."
"Me? I don't need you to do anything."
Liu Ying shook his head and said, "If I had to say, I'm just atoning for what I've done."
"Atonement?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes. He had considered many possibilities, such as revitalizing the Netherworld, resurrecting him, or even helping to win back Lovis. But he never expected this reason.
What does he owe me?
Could it be that in ancient times, by allowing Lovis to commit evil, the position of the Holy Light pantheon was stolen, and the Abyss grew to an irreversible state?
But this would be unfair to the First Holy Lord and the Holy Light pantheon, not to myself.
"senior..."
Just as Jiang Yan was about to ask further questions, a phantom figure suddenly materialized from the side.
Seraphim, the Archangel of Judgment.
This seraph possesses the ability to permanently conceal himself and create countless afterimages, so he dispatched him to the interlayers of the abyss to constantly monitor its movements.
Given the angels' loyalty and sense of propriety, they would never interrupt someone's conversation unless there was an urgent matter at hand.
So the only possibility is that something is wrong with the Abyss.
Jiang Yan immediately disregarded what had happened earlier and hurriedly asked, "Seraphim, what brings you here? What happened?"
"My Lord, there's an anomaly at the entrance to the True Abyss. A large amount of death energy from the previously sealed abyss is surging out. I suspect they're about to be unsealed ahead of schedule!"
"Summon all God-level powerhouses to the council hall."
Jiang Yan's face suddenly darkened.
What happened to the promised century? There are still more than ten years left!
Damn it, those unreliable realms never fail to disappoint when it comes to being disappointing.
