Chapter 710 The Changes Brought by Zhang Yu, Heavenly Court Countdown (7600+)
On the stage of the press conference, Zhang Yu looked at the leaders and elites of various universities below the stage, and at the projections representing Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators. He knew that at this moment, countless eyes from the top ten universities were on him, and that the evil gods, demonic sects, and traitors of the Righteous Alliance were also watching him.
At this moment, he seemed to become the center of Kunxu from level 2 to level 5, about to personally unleash a trend that would sweep across the world.
Zhang Yu understood that this press conference was destined to go down in history, and as the host, his name, Zhang Yu, would be mentioned countless times and watched repeatedly by countless people in the future.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Everyone, this is a day I've been looking forward to for a long time."
"Previously, Wanfa developed the Taixu Cloud Treasury and introduced the concept of a personal space platform, bringing space technology into the lives of cultivators, completely changing everyone's daily life, and also attracting countless competitors to learn from and emulate it."
"And today, I am honored to stand here and bring you three of our latest revolutionary products."
"They will completely destroy the existing logistics industry and create a brand new industry ecosystem..."
...
Wang Yin watched as Zhang Yu on the stage spoke eloquently, introducing the functions of the second generation of Taixu Yunzang, and his eyes revealed a look of shock.
He was not only shocked by the revolutionary breakthrough of the second generation of Taixu Yunzang, but also by the identity of Zhang Yu as the host of this press conference.
“Spatial layering, anti-gravity, and spatial sealing... the new Taixu Cloud Treasure has surpassed all space bag products currently on the market.”
"This is a groundbreaking product, enough to usher in the era of Space Bag 2.0, a great product destined to be recorded in history. But..."
Wang Yin stared at Zhang Yu on the stage, his thoughts surging like the tides: "Why? Why let Zhang Yu announce such an important product? Shouldn't this be something that Magnetism God Lord does?"
"Has he become this important in the eyes of the Magnetic God, within the myriad laws?"
"Is this already treating Zhang Yu as the true successor?"
"Why? Hasn't he been just collecting funding from the research association?"
Wang Yin suddenly remembered the first time he met Zhang Yu.
At that time, he was the son of Yin Quan Zhenjun. After being defeated by Zhang Yu, he fought hard and finally became the son of Yin Quan Shenjun many years later. His progress from the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage can be described as lightning fast.
But all of this seems so insignificant compared to Zhang Yu's achievements.
The other party went directly from being a poor nobody on the first floor to his current position as a second-generation member of the Wanfa University, becoming the successor of the Magnet God, and has even begun to preside over the affairs of the Space Technology Research Association.
Wang Yin, however, remained merely a menial assistant in the space laboratory of the Netherworld University.
“Not only has my level been surpassed, but my status and my ability to live off my parents have also been completely surpassed by him.”
Just as Wang Yin was deep in thought, Yin Quan Shenjun sent him a message.
Yin Quan Shen Jun: Send me Zhang Yu, I want to add him as a friend.
Wang Yin suddenly turned his head and looked at Yin Quan Shenjun, saying, "Mom, you want to add Zhang Yu as a friend? You are a Nascent Soul God, what makes him, a mere Core Formation cultivator, worthy of... asking you to contact him yourself? I'll help you contact him..."
Yin Quan Shenjun looked at Zhang Yu on the platform with great interest and said, "This kid's status is no longer what it used to be. If you stand in front of him now, your status is probably a bit low, and he may not even pay attention to you."
"The second generation of Taixu Yunzang is a revolutionary breakthrough and will have a significant impact on the future landscape of the ten schools. There are still many things I need to discuss with him in depth."
At this point, Yin Quan Shenjun sighed: "Tai Xu Yun Cang's breakthrough this time is too great. In the future, we will probably have to start cooperating with Wan Fa."
"Communicating with this kid is easier than communicating with the magnetic poles, isn't it?"
At this point, Yin Quan Shenjun looked at Wang Yin beside him and explained, "Besides... silly child, so what if my cultivation level is low? As long as it's related to making money, I'll actively increase it even if it's Qi Refining. If you don't have this kind of mindset, what's the point of cultivating the immortal path?"
After saying that, Lord Yinquan urged again, "Send it over quickly."
Looking at his mother, who used to be so high and mighty, now being personally sent to Zhang Yu's friend list, Wang Yin felt a sense of helplessness.
As he sent the message, a sudden wave of worry washed over Wang Yin. He thought of Xinghuo Zhenren, whom he had met on the first level, and how Zhang Yu had been supported by Qingmu Shenjun when he was in the Civil Engineering Department of Wanfa University. He also thought of Ciji Shenjun now...
Wang Yin couldn't help but remind her, "Mom, be careful when you talk to Zhang Yu. Don't let him take advantage of you. This guy... seems to be particularly good at sponging off his parents."
Yin Quan Shenjun laughed: "What a joke! Who do you think I am? Would I let a mere brat take advantage of me?"
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu on stage began to describe the logistics system and sharing system built by the second generation of Taixu Yunzang...
Zhang Yu: "In order to make Taixu Cloud Collection available to everyone, and to make space technology truly enter every household, we have decided to officially launch the Shared Taixu in addition to the Taixu Cloud Collection Personal Edition!"
...
Kunxu has three levels.
Inside the research association.
Yan Qianji, Bei Wufeng, Jin Jun, Zi Yunzhen, Su Yunni and others were gathered together, waiting to watch the live broadcast of the press conference.
After glancing around, Yan Qianji said, "Isn't Zhang Yu planning to come and watch with us?"
Jin Jun said, "The True Lord has his own arrangements; he might even be watching directly from the scene."
Yan Qianji glanced at the other person, feeling no goodwill towards this guy who only knew how to fawn over Zhang Yu.
At the same time, he thought to himself, "The Magnetic God Lord has already developed a new generation of Taixu Cloud Storage, but Zhang Yu still doesn't pay any attention to space research and only comes to the laboratory a few times a month."
"Alas, what a waste of talent... If I had his conditions, I would have already gone deep into the Magnetic God's side, and perhaps I would have already participated in the development of the new generation of Taixu Cloud Treasury."
When Yan Qianji saw Zhang Yu's figure appear in the press conference and watched him begin to talk eloquently about the new features of Taixu Yunzang, his eyes were full of incomprehension.
"Why is this happening? Zhang Yu is clearly just wasting his time on funding and only knows how to cultivate; he hasn't participated in any space technology research at all. Why would he be chosen to host the press conference?"
Yan Qianji couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Ever since Wanfa changed its principal, how come the sky has become so dark? Someone as dedicated to technology as him has become an outsourced employee, while someone like Zhang Yu, who embezzles funds every day to cultivate, has been promoted vigorously.
Thinking of this, Yan Qianji felt extremely frustrated and unwilling.
Jin Jun, standing to the side, burst into laughter: "As expected of the True Lord, being able to host this press conference means he is truly trusted by the Principal."
Yan Qianji snorted coldly, his tone full of sourness, and said, "He didn't spend much time studying space technology at all. How can he explain it clearly? What if he's wrong?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Bei Wufeng immediately said, "The fact that the principal is willing to choose a True Lord to host the press conference means that the principal believes that True Lord Zhuyi is capable. Perhaps, in places we cannot see, True Lord Zhuyi has already gained a deep understanding of the relevant technologies of Taixu Yunzang."
...
Immortal Soldier University.
Tian Shenggong and a group of people were waiting for the Wanfa University press conference to begin, preparing to watch the live stream together.
The students standing nearby looked at Tian Shenggong with envy and admiration and said, "Senior, you are so young, not even 30 years old, and you have already entered the school's space laboratory and are studying under the Thousand Puppet God. Your future is limitless."
The student on the other side chimed in, "Yes, Senior Tian Sheng Gong, with your talent, you will definitely have a place in the future of space technology."
Another student said, "Our school's Void Box is already the number one brand in the space bag market. In the future, you, senior student of Tiansheng Engineering, will also be a prominent figure in this market..."
Tian Shenggong smiled slightly, appearing neither arrogant nor impatient, but inwardly he was quite pleased with himself.
Although the work in the lab these days has been tough, he feels he has made tremendous progress, and he has a particular feeling...
"Among the younger generation under 30, I am probably the most advanced cultivator in the field of space."
Just then, as the Wanfa University press conference officially began, Tian Shenggong saw Zhang Yu appear on the stage.
"Zhang Yu is hosting the press conference?!"
"What gives him the right?"
Tian Shenggong was slightly taken aback. His first thought was, "Could it be that the new generation of Taixu Yunzang has run out of candidates? Even Ciji Shenjun and the others are unsure of themselves and afraid of losing face, so they threw Zhang Yu out to speak?"
But soon, as Zhang Yu revealed the functions of spatial layering, spatial sealing, and anti-gravity, Tian Sheng Gong realized that the new generation of Tai Xu Yun Cang was not useless, but far more powerful than all other space bag products.
In particular, its anti-gravity function... poses a huge threat to the Void Box of Immortal Soldier University.
Tian Shenggong thought to himself, "The Void Box's small capacity was originally designed to suit lower-level cultivators. Now that Wanfa has solved the anti-gravity function, weight is no longer a limitation of the space bag... So what competitiveness does the Void Box have against the Taixu Cloud Treasury?"
He knew that if the Void Box could not be upgraded and have anti-gravity functionality added, it would probably be phased out soon.
"But even with the addition of anti-gravity... can it rival the Taixu Yunzang?"
Soon, Tian Shenggong saw Zhang Yu talking about sharing the Taixu content in the live broadcast.
Upon hearing that the Shared Void was to be spread all over the streets so that all Qi Refining students could use it, Tian Shenggong's face turned pale.
The low-to-mid-end market is precisely the main target market for Immortal Soldier University. In Tian Sheng Gong's view, the Shared Void is a fatal blow, enough to force Immortal Soldier University's Void Box into a series of defeats.
And to be able to host the launch of such an important product...
Looking at Zhang Yu on the live stream, Tian Shenggong realized that the other party's current status in the world of magic had far exceeded his imagination.
Thinking back to the first time they faced off in the top ten leagues, Zhang Yu was only slightly better than him. Tian Shenggong never imagined that in just one or two years, the gap between the two sides would widen so much.
...
Another corner of the research association.
The quiet room that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen often used for cultivation.
At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen was watching the live broadcast alone.
Looking at Bai Zhenzhen's smiling face, the Spirit of the Heavenly Sword couldn't help but ask, "Is this the person you're practicing the Extreme Emotional Sword Path with?"
"You have a bad eye for people."
Bai Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow and said, "Huh?"
The sword spirit said, "Zhang Yu has too bright a future, too much fame, and too much money. Such a cultivator faces many temptations, especially those Hehuan demonesses, who probably want to drain his cultivation and wallet. These things... can easily cause your Extreme Emotion Sword Path to go astray."
“We cultivators of the Extreme Emotional Sword Path should choose ordinary, easily manipulated cultivators as our training subjects…”
Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but say, "Ancestor, times have changed. The new generation of cultivators don't care about these things. All cultivation is just a way to improve oneself through immortal techniques."
"Besides, Zhang Yu is not only my cultivation partner, but also my good brother, good son, and good father. If he hadn't supported me with his part-time jobs back then, I might still be at level one now."
Bai Zhenzhen sighed, "I, Bai Zhenzhen, am not an ungrateful person. I will not hinder my good brother's progress for the sake of my own cultivation."
"In fact, if my good brother needs help, I don't mind helping him out in any way."
Upon hearing Bai Zhenzhen's words, the sword spirit was slightly taken aback, then let out a long sigh and disappeared into thin air.
"What a tragedy! How could the new generation of successors of my Extreme Emotional Sword Path have turned out like this?"
Bai Zhenzhen glanced at the direction where the sword spirit disappeared and comforted her, "Ancestor, everyone is making progress, you can't stagnate either."
Blade Spirit: "Get lost!"
Bai Zhenzhen shook her head and could only continue watching the live broadcast of the press conference.
...
Near the large cavity.
Yu Xinghan was watching the live broadcast of Wanfa University's press conference with many of her colleagues.
This was considered a company team-building activity, but under Zhang Yu's approval, this process was not counted as rest time, but rather as overtime, and overtime pay was required.
As a result, the employees who watched the press conference were all beaming with joy, their faces radiating an unprecedented sense of ease.
Just kidding... Getting overtime pay without working is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Even after the employees told others about it, no one believed them; they all suspected it was some kind of scam.
Watching all this, Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "What is Zhang Yu thinking? This round of overtime pay is going to be quite a lot."
Yu Xinghan wasn't the only one with similar thoughts; people like Fu Ji and Ying Xin also opposed this approach.
Fuki, in particular, felt deeply distressed by the practice of paying overtime wages even when there was no overtime work.
"Paying overtime pay without a valid reason is a disastrous act that harms the country and its people. If this continues, the school will cease to be a school, and the country will cease to be a country!"
However, even Fu Ji's earnest persuasion could not stop Zhang Yu from acting arbitrarily.
As Yu Xinghan pondered, he glanced at the appearances of the many employees beside him.
Unlike many other construction companies and teams, Yu Xinghan noticed that, at some point, the employees in his company seemed to have become slimmer and had more classical appearances.
At first, he felt strange, but after some research, Yu Xinghan discovered that it was because people with such an appearance were more likely to be recruited by their company.
"Is it because of... Zhang Yu's aesthetic sense?" Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "More and more people are catering to Zhang Yu's aesthetic sense."
"Because they all gradually discovered that the more someone fits this aesthetic, the easier it is for them to get close to Zhang Yu, the easier it is for them to get opportunities, and the easier it is for them to get a raise..."
Looking at the men and women passing by who all resembled him, Bai Zhenzhen, and Le Mulan, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but shake his head: "As Zhang Yu's status rises, his influence is truly growing."
Yu Xinghan knew that all of this was not just about appearance.
For example, the Songyang Gang in the company is composed of fellow villagers from Songyang City.
Seemingly realizing that fellow villagers were more likely to be hired and promoted by Zhang Yu, more and more people from Songyang joined the company and subconsciously imitated Zhang Yu's style of taking care of fellow villagers, appearing extremely united.
Knowing that Zhang Yu valued old friendships, liked to take care of his own people, and had the demeanor of an ancient person, Yu Xinghan even overheard people from the Songyang Gang saying things that only people from ancient times would say, such as "loyalty comes first" and "willing to go through thick and thin for each other"...
Looking at Zhang Yu, who was shining brightly at the press conference, Yu Xinghan seemed to be able to see that the other party's influence was about to usher in a new wave of growth, which would have an increasingly greater impact on the entire company, the entire school, and even other schools.
Just then, as Zhang Yu announced the plan to share Yunzang, the many employees present cheered.
On the other side, Ying Xin, Shi Huaiyu, Xiao Qingxuan, Shi Yunxiang, and others also had their eyes shining with admiration.
Yingxin: "Shared Cloud Storage? Will this thing become a space-based device suitable for everyone, just like the Eye Skull?"
Shi Huaiyu nodded repeatedly, making up her mind: "I also want to take the postgraduate entrance exam for the weapon crafting department."
Looking at Zhang Yu on the stage of the press conference, Shi Yunxiang thought to himself, "Even if the Civil Engineering Department can make more money now, in the long run, it will never be as good as the Weapon Forging Department."
The same thought arose in their minds: only by leaving the civil engineering department and the construction company could they once again follow Zhang Yu to charge into battle in a new field.
It contains various rational analyses, as well as an instinctive feeling and trust.
That is, they feel closer to Zhang Yu, and following Zhang Yu better can bring them a brighter future on the path of immortality.
Yu Xinghan, who was not far away, could sense the thoughts of many civil engineering students. It wasn't just Ying Xin, Shi Yunxiang, Shi Huaiyu, Xiao Qingxuan, and others in their company who thought this way; many other students in the civil engineering department also thought this way.
Yu Xinghan sighed, "They all regard Zhang Yu as a good role model and want to imitate his growth path, jumping from civil engineering to weapon crafting."
...
The scene of the press conference.
Lord Nielian sighed, "Sharing the Great Void, Wanfa is going to completely revolutionize the existing logistics system."
"As a result, it is unknown how many logistics companies will go bankrupt in the future, and most people will only need to use the shared virtual space to complete their daily logistics needs."
"A revolutionary breakthrough has created a completely new ecosystem."
If that were all, Lord Nielian would still be determined to continue catching up; he would never be willing to hand over such a huge market.
However, as Zhang Yu announced the cooperation between Wanfa University, Vajra University, and Tianjian University, and expressed his expectation to cooperate with other universities in the future, the Evil Lotus God Lord knew that the road he wanted to catch up with would be even more difficult.
"Heh... After all, not everyone is like me, wanting to compete."
Lord Nielian could already foresee that if the University of Ten Thousand Laws extended an olive branch, willing to voluntarily relinquish some benefits, or even use technology to exchange for market access...
"I'm afraid that soon, many schools will set up joint ventures with Wanfa to jointly obtain and share the benefits of Taixu."
"Even within Tianmo University, there are probably far more people who want to directly cooperate with Wanfa to make money than those who support my 'fighting to the end by increasing investment'."
Lord Nielian understood very well that having Heavenly Demon University continue to invest heavily would not only fail to generate profits in the short term, but also carry considerable risks. In the eyes of many cultivators, even those at the Nascent Soul stage, it was far better to follow the Myriad Laws and make money steadily.
Lord Nielin didn't expect to be able to dissuade the other deities from abandoning cooperation, but at least...
"While cooperating, we must still promote independent research and development. Even if funding is reduced... at least we can always retain a spark, a qualification to compete with Wanfa."
"Wouldn't this be beneficial for our future cooperation negotiations with Wanfa?"
Lord Nielian thought that from this angle, he should be able to successfully gain the support of all the gods.
On the other side, the Thousand Puppet God of Immortal Soldier University was increasingly alarmed as he looked at the updates: "How could so many functions be updated all at once? We can't possibly copy them all... we simply can't copy them all."
The ecosystem that Shared Void is planning to create, in particular, is alarming to him.
"No, we must cooperate with Wanfa and crack their technology in the process of cooperating."
"We need to recruit them to open factories and companies at Xianbing University..."
At the same press conference, Magnet God and Green Wood God sat together, their faces showing complete calm and composure.
Looking at Zhang Yu on the stage, Lord Aoki sighed, "This must be our most outstanding disciple, right?"
"Time flies so fast, I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage without even realizing it."
The Magnetic God nodded: "Zhang Yu will be the pillar of all laws in the future. Letting him preside over this meeting is also to lay the groundwork..."
Aoki Shinjun's eyes flickered, and he said, "You mean the future announcement of his achievements in space technology?"
Magnetism God said matter-of-factly, "Right now, I'm just using my name to shield him from the wind and rain. In the future, he will have to bear this honor and pressure himself. This is just paving the way for him in advance, letting him experience it firsthand."
Lord Aoki nodded slightly, looking at Zhang Yu on the stage with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
But soon, when he looked at the information on his eyelids, his face fell again.
"Sigh, there are more and more people in the Civil Engineering department who want to take the entrance exam for the Weapon Forging Master's program."
At this moment, Aoki Shinjun didn't know whether he should be angry that more and more students were leaving, or pleased that the students in the Civil Engineering Department were becoming more and more motivated.
...
As the press conference proceeded, news about the new generation of Taixu Yunzang and the shared Taixu had already caused a stir throughout the entire spirit world.
In the spirit world, the sounds of discussions about this topic can be heard everywhere.
The same applies to the Dark Realm.
Meanwhile, Xiang Shen, Xi Shen, Bao Shen, Lian Shu Shen Jun, Bao Tong Shen Jun, and other core figures of the Righteous Alliance were all watching the live broadcast.
Xi Shen coldly said, "The spatial sealing technology here is the immortal technology in the 'Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier,' right? Why can the magnetic poles of all laws be controlled to this extent?"
Chain Pivot God said, "It's not just about mastery; to be honest... the application of magnetic poles in this area as magical artifacts may have surpassed all of us present."
"Perhaps only the leader of the alliance can keep her in check."
At this point, the entire scene fell silent. Whether they were evil gods or transformed gods, everyone wore solemn expressions.
After a long while, the voice of the God of Report reached everyone's ears: "From everyone's perspective, what kind of effect would it have if this new generation of Taixu Cloud Treasure technology were applied to the military field, to the current three-tiered battlefield?"
Chain Pivot God said, "A large number of spatial barriers capable of material screening and high-speed movement."
"To be honest, this will completely revolutionize the way we fight on the battlefield and bring serious technological threats. There is already a generational gap here."
The messenger asked, "How serious is it?"
Chain Pivot God said, "It will break our existing defense system and reshape the original rhythm of war..."
The messenger asked somewhat impatiently, "Stop beating around the bush and explain it more clearly."
Chain Pivot God said, "If we don't have equivalent technology to counter it..."
"So for the Ten Schools, after they complete the large-scale transformation, their combat against those below the Nascent Soul stage will be as easy as stepping on insects."
The messenger sighed and said, "A year and a half has passed since the great change in the world."
"For a full 18 months, we still failed to integrate layers 2 to 5."
"According to the Heavenly Court's forecast, they will return in about six months."
"But considering the worst-case scenario, it is possible that Heaven will return ahead of schedule."
“They could even return every month thereafter, and that possibility is growing every day.”
"And now you're telling me... not only can you not deal with the top ten universities in the coming time, but you can't even beat them?"
Chain Pivot Divine Lord: "It's not that our cultivation is inferior to theirs, but rather a technological gap in spatial technology. If we were given enough time to crack their technology, or if the Alliance Leader could intervene to upgrade our magical artifacts..."
The messenger god said, "There isn't much time left. The possibility of the Heavenly Court descending is increasing every day... Everyone, you should make up your minds."
Upon hearing these words from the God of Report, everyone present, whether evil gods or cultivators, tensed up.
They knew what the resolution God spoke of was.
That was a desperate plan to completely shatter and explode the entire fifth level of Kunxu, once again escaping the Heavenly Court's search range and delaying the Heavenly Court's arrival.
Thinking of the vast assets on the fifth floor of Kunxu, everyone felt a strong sense of reluctance.
Seeing their hesitant expressions, the God of Reporting said coldly, "What are you reluctant to part with? If the Heavenly Court descends, not to mention the fifth level, even the third and fourth levels, everything you have, in your next life, the life after that, and everything in the future until the end of reincarnation, will have to be given away."
"Everyone, the situation is extremely critical, and we have no time to hesitate."
"The five-layer crushing plan must be launched immediately."
Lord Chain Pivot took a deep breath and sighed, "I agree."
"Everyone..." He turned to the other Nascent Soul cultivators and advised, "Don't let your eyes be blinded by profit. The risks to the Heavenly Court should be our top priority."
"As long as there is no interference from the Heavenly Court, no matter how much we have lost now, we have a chance to win it back."
With his approval, more and more monks expressed their support.
Seeing this, the God of Report nodded slightly and said with satisfaction, "No one has any objections, very good."
"I have already reported the situation here to the Alliance Leader."
"The Alliance Leader should emerge from seclusion soon. Everyone can begin the preliminary preparations for the plan. Let's wait patiently for the Alliance Leader..."
Just then, a voice rang in everyone's ears.
"No need to wait any longer."
"I've already passed through customs."
A blurry figure appeared before the people of the Dark Spirit Realm.
Upon seeing this figure appear, the numerous cultivators and evil gods present exclaimed in unison, "Alliance Leader!"
This immortal disciple, the strongest in the Righteous Alliance and the highest master of the "Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier," merely appeared as a projection before everyone, yet it gave them boundless confidence, seemingly sweeping away the gloom that had just passed.
Fu Xiantian, who was known as the leader of the alliance, looked at Zhang Yu on the live broadcast screen and said, "The God of Report is right, the fifth floor should indeed be blown up."
"But there is one more thing we should do."
"Within a month, I will annihilate all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the top ten universities."
