The Divine Speed Chariot had not been used for a long time, so Gongsun Yue was conducting maintenance with a team.

Lin Qianxuan originally intended to help, but Gongsun Yue firmly insisted that he must rest.

Helpless, Lin Qianxuan could only choose to rest with Gongsun Ying and the others.

At this time, Gongsun Ying was leaning against a wall, sipping water slowly. Lin Qianxuan walked over and sat down beside her.

"Young Master Lin, we really owe you this time. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have reached here so easily," Gongsun Ying said.

"Since I have come to this world and intend to live here, matters concerning the destruction of the world are also my matters. Miss Ying, there's no need to be so polite with me," Lin Qianxuan replied.

Gongsun Ying smiled and said to Lin Qianxuan, "Young Master Lin, I'm curious about what your hometown is like. Would you mind telling me about it?"

"Of course." Lin Qianxuan nodded and then said, "Let's start with communication. This is something here that I'm quite dissatisfied with. There's not even a mobile phone..."

As soon as Lin Qianxuan started talking, he gave a simple introduction of Earth's communication infrastructure to Gongsun Ying.

Gongsun Ying occasionally asked about parts she didn't understand, and Lin Qianxuan patiently explained them.

The two talked about various topics, from technology and Divine Machines to martial arts and spiritual cultivation, and finally to medicine and Gongsun Ying's replaced Divine Strategy Limbs.

"Our world doesn't have such advanced prosthetic technology. Patients with bodily ailments find it difficult to regain their mobility," Lin Qianxuan sighed.

"Young Master Lin, do you find it unsightly?" Gongsun Ying asked Lin Qianxuan nonchalantly.

Almost upon hearing this statement, Lin Qianxuan knew what Gongsun Ying was thinking.

She was starting to care about his opinion.

Perhaps she hoped that Lin Qianxuan would bluntly express his disgust so that she could ignore that small budding emotion in her heart.

But unfortunately, Lin Qianxuan did not do so.

"It's cool," Lin Qianxuan smiled.

"Cool?"

Gongsun Ying didn't understand because the word's pronunciation was in the language of Xuan Country, and in the texts of Great Qian Country, similar cultural expressions exist but aren't as precise.

"It means stylish, trendsetting... You can understand it as something that inspires admiration and envy," Lin Qianxuan explained.

Gongsun Ying understood but was somewhat puzzled, "What's so enviable and admirable about it?"

Heaven knows how long she internally struggled to gain this power, and how painful it was when she finally made the decision.

"In our world, there's a culture called cyberpunk, which is about a futuristic fantasy with high technology and low living standards. There's a trend in it of prosthetic transformations, where people replace their fragile flesh with powerful mechanical creations so they would have no weaknesses. The ultimate form is the belief in mechanical ascension, where one uploads their consciousness, or Primordial Spirit, to a core and remotely controls bodies. When the bodies wear out, the Primordial Spirit finds a new one. Flesh is burdensome, subject to birth, aging, illness, and death, so this form of life naturally becomes desirable," Lin Qianxuan explained.

Hearing Lin Qianxuan's words, Gongsun Ying couldn't help but be astonished.

In their world, the modification of Divine Strategy Limbs, although common, is not promoted.

This is because the Divine Martial Emperor is an invincible existence with a physical body.

They prefer to temper themselves with Divine Energy rather than relying on external objects.

Those who modified their Divine Strategy Limbs are often regarded as having lost some potential.

Even if they gain some strength in the short term, it is not advisable.

Moreover, if they really want to gain power this way, there are better options.

Isn't an Armor Body stronger than those haphazardly modified limbs?

And it covers the entire body!

After all, Gongsun Ying is special because her Divine Energy was too abundant and powerful, and she couldn't grow to fully utilize them in a short time, so she chose Divine Strategy Limbs that could bear more Divine Energy to aid in output.

"Actually, when I heard from Yue'Er, the old professors at the Celestial Craft Institute proposed a similar theory back then. They suggested retaining only the head to store the Primordial Spirit and transforming the body into a Blood and Flesh Armor Body. If the body was damaged, it could just be replaced. However, the idea of remotely controlling the body with the Primordial Spirit was something I hadn't heard of," Gongsun Ying said.

This is actually more than just a theory; in the Divine Strategy Tower, there is already a complete Blood and Flesh Armor Body.

But it seems that due to the chaos of calamities, there wasn't an opportunity for it to be widely used.

"Is the Celestial Craft Institute really that advanced?" Lin Qianxuan asked with feigned surprise.

"Almost all the advanced scholars of Divine Machine Art in Great Qian Country are there. Over ninety percent of the Divine Machine technology in the world originates from the Celestial Craft Institute. Without the help of the Celestial Craft Institute, the Divine Martial Emperor would not have been able to establish Great Qian Country so easily," Gongsun Ying explained.

Lin Qianxuan nodded. He knew all of this.

He even knew more detailed things than Gongsun Ying.

He even knew that the Emperor Sword and the Emperor's Armor were forged for Emperor Shenwu by the first dean of the Celestial Craft Institute.

That was an impressive man. He killed the Chaos God's brother, extracting his Divine Soul to create two Divine Artifacts.

If one were to talk about combat achievements, he might even be stronger than the Divine Martial Emperor.

After all, the Divine Martial Emperor only defeated the Chaos God, not killed him.

As they chatted idly, without realizing it, the distance between Lin Qianxuan and Gongsun Ying slightly lessened.

Suddenly, Lin Qianxuan said, "Miss Ying, may I feel its material?"

He looked at Gongsun Ying's hand, an ice-cold limb purely crafted from Divine Machinery.

"Sure." Gongsun Ying, without hesitation, nodded her head.

Then Lin Qianxuan held Gongsun Ying's left hand.

Smooth, cold, heavy, completely different from a human hand.

Lin Qianxuan, for some reason, felt a strange sensation.

Compared to a normal human female's hand, he actually found this one more comfortable to hold.

He even had some bold thoughts sprouting in his mind.

Lin Qianxuan bit his tongue sharply to stop those wild and jumbled thoughts in his mind.

"Young Master Lin... can you let go now?" Gongsun Ying quietly asked, her cheeks slightly flushed.

The Divine Strategy Limbs and Blood and Flesh Armor Body are different; she has no perception.

But Lin Qianxuan holding them tightly makes her feel a bit strange.

In the depths of her heart, it seems that some emotions are stirring.

"Miss Ying, may I hold it a little longer?" Lin Qianxuan smiled and looked at Gongsun Ying.

Gongsun Ying was shocked by Lin Qianxuan's rude words.

Obviously, he wasn't like this before.

But somehow, she can't bring herself to dislike it...

"I don't feel anything, Mr. Lin, you can hold it as long as you like."

Gongsun Ying said as she turned her head to the side, as if to avoid it, if she can't feel it, then nothing happened.

"Then can I hold it for a lifetime?" Lin Qianxuan asked softly.

In an instant, Gongsun Ying's expression turned blank.

Did he really say something like that so simply?

Is he truly such a frivolous person?

Gongsun Ying didn't know what she was thinking and directly withdrew her hand, saying, "Mr. Lin, I'll go check over there."

As she finished speaking, she got up and left immediately.

Lin Qianxuan opened his mouth, but ultimately did not stop her.

Too rash!!

Seeing the rapid increase in connection while chatting earlier, he couldn't help but want to intensify his approach.

Who knew the conditions weren't right, and it was too abrupt, scaring her off directly.

Playing a game and real life are really two different things. Sometimes when emotions surge, it's hard to control the pace of progression.

However, the connection did indeed increase.

Gongsun Ying and his connection level is now around seventy-nine percent.

This level of affection is probably higher than that of a couple who have just confirmed their relationship.

However, she leans towards being conservative and has significant responsibilities, so being too aggressive will make her directly avoid it.

Normally, to pursue her, one must give her an irresistible and self-convincing reason.

For instance, if Lin Qianxuan takes control with an absolutely dominant stance, she will convince herself that she can't resist, that she was forced.

In reality, it's just giving her a reason to shirk responsibility.

In the game, she was pursued because the game character took over all of Gongsun Ying's responsibilities with a dominant posture.

With a sigh in his heart, Lin Qianxuan collected his scattered thoughts, preparing to test the current efficiency of cultivation with Divine Energy.

A fifty percent enhancement in body refinement efficiency, who knows what changes it would bring.

As he operated the "Immortal Divine Body Skill," Divine Energy flowed around his body, and soon, Lin Qianxuan sensed the change.

The nature of Divine Energy had changed somewhat, making it easier to be absorbed and converted by the body. Now, even just operating the "Immortal Divine Body Skill" alone was comparable to or even more efficient than operating the "Qilin Body Tempering Skill" simultaneously before.

Lin Qianxuan then tried adding the efficiency of the "Qilin Body Tempering Skill."

The enhancement was even faster, almost as soon as Qi and blood washed through, Divine Energy would repair and reshape the body.

The combined effect of the two was definitely more than a fifty percent increase.

Lin Qianxuan mused to himself, it seems the enhancement of these Sound Talismans, if used well, can produce effects far beyond their theoretical limits.

The maintenance time is long, and the Rebel Army intends to take a rest here before departing tomorrow.

Lin Qianxuan did not rest, but continued to cultivate continuously.

The two body tempering cultivation techniques ran continuously without stopping.

With the bonus from Gongsun Ying's second Sound Talisman, his physique growth efficiency was higher, now a day of body tempering could add at least three to four tons of strength.

Though this increase might be negligible for the upcoming battles, any improvement is good.

The night passed without words, and the time came to the early morning of the next day.

Vast amounts of Divine Energy surged into the Purple Mansion, instantly filling the nearly depleted Divine Energy reserve to full.

In the game, it's the same; once the connection exceeds seventy percent, the Divine Energy from the "Endless Divine Sea" is enough to completely fill the Purple Mansion.

Lin Qianxuan opened his eyes, and the Rebel Army was already awake, sorting the supplies and loading them onto the Divine Speed Chariot.

The Spiritual Energy Cannon was also brought in by Lin Qianxuan; its huge form forced Lin Qianxuan to disassemble it again to fit it into the Divine Speed Chariot.

Lin Qianxuan felt a bit speechless; knowing it would be like this, why did he assemble it before?

The game never mentioned these details!

However, once they reach the Celestial Craft Institute, the Spiritual Energy Cannon will probably be put to use.

The War God Armor Body's defense is astonishingly strong; Gongsun Ying in Burst Qi state could barely break its defense.

Even with a punch at ninety percent Divine Energy, it felt insufficient. After all, that punch was about as powerful as Gongsun Ying's Burst Qi state sword qi attack, only with a broader range, so this time they really couldn't save the fifty thousand Spirit Crystal-a-shell cost.

Buzzing~!

As the Sun Core of the Divine Speed Chariot was activated, a delicate mechanical sound emerged as the chariot began to gradually drive forward, quickly reaching its maximum speed.

Lin Qianxuan sat inside the carriage, gazing at the white crane pattern on the semi-transparent glazed window, his expression somewhat wistful.

The Divine Energy in this world is indeed a bit overpowered. If the Divine Machine Art is used well, even a piece of paper can achieve bullet resistance strength, materials cannot limit their technological development.

It's just that productivity is much lower, relying purely on Divine Machine Art means many Divine Machines can't be mass-produced as they are hand-crafted one by one.
