Chapter 314: Shattering Planets is Relatively Simple_2


Itheri's pink lips twitched, but before she could make a sound, Sisi said, "There are no hackers on Konglu Star."

The crowd looked towards her again.

"I investigated the combat level of Konglu Star and thought they were no match for you, which is why I came here to stop you," Sisi explained, "The hacker was rented."

"Rented?" Bi said, biting a lollipop.

"Some rental companies have invented 'agents,' where customers choose the personnel they wish to hire, and that personnel can directly be embodied on the 'agent' at the company's headquarters, download the necessary modules, and complete tasks for the customer. Depending on the quality of the 'agent,' they can possess two-tenths, three-tenths, up to all of the original's combat power."

Upon hearing Sisi's explanation, Li Changzhou and the other Earth villagers once again marveled at the technology available in the universe.

How is this technology any different from mythology? Isn't it just like the descent of gods?

"It's a bit like a shared bicycle," Li Qianxia muttered thoughtfully.

...It is somewhat similar indeed, also akin to sharing files through cloud storage.

Sisi continued, "After the hacker's failure, Konglu will probably hire combat personnel and wait for you on Konglu Star."

"How strong are the combat personnel?" Turquoise Pool inquired.

"It depends on how strong the 'agent' company's warriors are, and how much money Konglu has," Sisi replied.

"So, we know nothing," Turquoise Pool commented, then looked at Itheri, "Continue about the hacker's abilities; knowing is better than not knowing."

She felt no trust towards Sisi.

No hackers on Konglu Star just because Sisi said so?

Perhaps it was Sisi herself who relayed the intelligence to Konglu Star, deliberately lowering their guard against the hacker to facilitate the next attack.

Itheri nodded, indicating it was okay to continue.

"The hacker is very weak—"

"Itheri, you're being too modest," Li Qianxia couldn't help but interject right after the first sentence.

Although stripped of their mana, their "Ability" was still at the Human Immortal Level, yet they were hacked by this hacker from who knows how many light years away; and this is called 'the hacker is very weak'?

"—very strong in specific environments," Itheri added, "A competent hacker can easily hack into someone's brain to access their memories and make them obey orders if the target has lost their fighting power."

"What happened just now?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"It was another 'specific environment' used by the hacker. Knowing the target's surrounding environment substantially increases the chance of hacking them. If the target dies in the environment created by the hacker, the real body will also die. This is a skill only high-level hackers possess."

"Do you have it?" Li Qianxia asked directly, not out of provocation, merely curiosity.

"Sometimes it succeeds," Itheri answered, "If I had a set of good supporting devices, the success rate could be raised to over 60%."

"So, the hacker who attacked us seems quite strong?" Li Changzhou said.

"Not necessarily," Itheri crossed her arms, reluctant to concede, "'Agent' company hackers usually are connected in the company's headquarters using high-end equipment which naturally enhances their success rate. If I had top-level equipment like the 'agent' companies, hacking our systems wouldn't be a problem either."

"Does the hacker have any other means of attack?" Turquoise Pool asked for confirmation.

"Generally, hackers only have those two methods, but a hacker does not necessarily have to be just a hacker."

"I understand what you mean," Turquoise Pool nodded.

Divine Will Warriors could be hackers, hackers could be Ascension Warriors, even Cosmic People, people of Divine Will, Divine Race.

Li Changzhou looked at the Navigator Da Yi: "How long till we reach Konglu Star?"

"Energy is sufficient, we will arrive in 7 days."

7 days, just enough time to get familiar with 'Divine Will.'

In that week, Li Changzhou, along with Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, Turquoise Pool, and Bi, occasionally left the spaceship.

Either to practice on the asteroid Yang Qinglan had previously mentioned—the one that required a security check—or to go to IAO Star to "broaden their knowledge"—eating and drinking.

They could return to Earth, but for some reason, initiating the travel required searching for a long time, as if Earth was so far from the Divine Will Great Wall that even an S-level 'Teleportation' needed time to lock down the exact positions of both sides.

Going back was time-consuming and uneventful, and after trying once, Li Changzhou no longer attempted it.

Once the mission was complete, they could consider buying a spaceship and learning new technologies between returning back and forth to Earth.

'Honey Pot World' was still locked down.

"You could consider turning it into 'Earthly Realm'; with this foundation, your speed of becoming an Earth Immortal would far surpass ours," Turquoise Pool suggested after a training session while exchanging experiences on the spaceship.

According to records in Daoist Books from the Fragrant Leaf Crown, to become an 'Earth Immortal,' one must possess their own Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Earth Immortals are divided into five levels: Constant Sand, Blessed Land, Grotto Heaven, Earthly Realm, Heaven.

Human Immortals create something from nothing, and producing a grain of eternal sand is considered entering the door to Earth Immortal.

Li Shangyin had a poem that said, "Sit and watch the world as if it's Constant Sand." Buddhism also has scriptures saying "A grain of sand, a world." Possessing this grain of sand means possessing one's own world.

There are many methods to cultivate this "Constant Sand."

The most common one is to refine the essence of heaven and earth. Transforming continents, oceans, and mountains into essence, it takes limitless mana and vast time, slowly forming "Constant Sand."

This sort is a low-level Earth Immortal, because the core of "Constant Sand" still stems from the vast universe and is influenced by it.

"Once the number of Human Immortals rises, Earth might face wars over resources," Yang Qinglan remarked.

Becoming a Human Immortal does not grant immortality; naturally, everyone would want to elevate their realm further, and elevating the realm requires refining heaven and earth. Earth is only so large, hence war is inevitable.

"It has nothing to do with us, let the Special Warfare Bureau worry about it," Li Changzhou didn't care.
