"Mom, I think my brain has gone haywire...
I've gotten so used to trying out golden fingers that I've forgotten that this mission doesn't require a trial report, nor does it necessitate using a conceptual-level river god. It might sound funny, but I'm currently conquering plane after plane.
Each time I develop a plane's civilization to the mid-stage of Level 1 civilization, I leave.
Then I move on to the next plane!"
People are sometimes like this. Not everything they do is exceptionally smart, nor can they remain clear-headed and make the best choices at all times.
Ding Yun, accustomed to ordinary missions and golden finger trial missions in the origin universe, found this plane-by-plane approach similar to her previous mission modes. These circumstances caused her to momentarily lose focus and continue with her pioneering missions as if she were back in the origin universe.
She completely forgot that pioneering missions allowed for unscrupulous methods.
That one could utilize every resource at their disposal.
She even forgot that the golden finger she was currently carrying wasn't strictly necessary; she had simply picked it out from the golden finger vault out of habit before starting the mission.
"Your brain is really slow to turn. If you keep conquering like this, how will you contend for territory and etch your brand against the immortals in the Immortal Realm? Will you be fighting alone?
Technological civilizations rely on collective strength. They become more powerful and terrifying the further they advance. Fortunately, I sensed something was off with you and specifically contacted you. If I hadn't, would you have continued on this path, expecting to fight the Immortal Realm with a bunch of Level 1 civilizations? Good heavens!
You're basically finished in this state.
Why don't you come over and work with me?
Bring that conceptual-level river god golden finger of yours too. It can be used to develop and upgrade our technological standards here. As far as I know, if a conceptual-level river god is used well, it can mass-produce law-level weapons, right?
Law-level weapons are too difficult to manufacture.
It's much more convenient to use a conceptual-level river god."
After criticizing Ding Yun's offline intelligence, Su Yunxiao stated her purpose: she wanted to recruit Ding Yun, especially her golden finger. If used properly, that item held immense value.
However, Ding Yun did not agree immediately.
Instead, she asked with lingering doubt:
"Mom, you know the side effects of a conceptual-level river god, right? It affects the future of a civilization."
"So what if it affects it? What does that have to do with us? It's not as if we don't affect the future of civilizations by helping them grow prematurely. Besides, a civilization's future isn't set in stone. As long as we continue to help technological civilizations develop and grow, we can slightly offset the side effects of the conceptual-level river god.
As for the mess left behind after the mission is completed?
You don't have to worry about that; the Origin Universe Administration will handle it. You've really become muddled from doing all sorts of missions over the years. Why are you so hesitant, afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind? You want to complete the mission but also be a good person.
There's no such thing as having your cake and eating it too in this world.
Don't forget, the core of pioneering missions is expansion and conquest. Construction and repair are for others; we don't need to concern ourselves with that.
So, are you going to cooperate with me or not?"
Su Yunxiao continued to ask impatiently.
"Alright, I've gone down the wrong path anyway, and my speed is already a bit behind. If I have to start all over again, time probably won't allow it!
By the way, where are you?
Give me the coordinates. I'll head over now."
Ding Yun pondered for a moment. She was genuinely too lazy to build a faction from scratch. Therefore, she ultimately decided to cooperate with her mother. After all, compared to her aunts, her mother was more reliable. Cooperation would likely allow her to relax instead of being like a stray dog.
Immediately after, Su Yunxiao readily provided Ding Yun with coordinates: a soul force radiating outwards, sufficient for the Immortal Realm to receive her, and a desperate pull from the Immortal Realm, allowing Ding Yun to reach her destination directly.
Instead of ascending elsewhere.
The Immortal Realm is vast. If she ascended to the wrong place, it would be difficult to say when they would meet again.
Fortunately, the overall process went smoothly. A few minutes later, Ding Yun successfully passed through the ascension channel and arrived before her mother, Su Yunxiao. She saw a magnificent war fortress brimming with a sense of technology, its overall technological level comparable to a Level 7 or 8 civilization.
This was what her mother referred to as a technological megacity.
After all, it was a megacity built for contending with those in the Immortal Realm, so it naturally couldn't be constructed for entertainment or leisure. Its overall structure was largely based on galactic-level fortresses from normal technological civilizations, making it incredibly formidable.
"Mom, you truly have no trace of warmth or leisure facilities. This isn't a city; it's practically a war machine. I just took a brief look around.
Besides weapons, there's nothing else!"
Since they were partners, a brief greeting after meeting was only reasonable.
However, after her tour, Ding Yun felt dejected.
It felt like her mother was a war enthusiast.
"This was born for war. Do you think the Immortal Realm is peaceful? Before we arrived, the Immortal Realm had always been turbulent. The native forces of the Immortal Realm, demon beast forces, and ascender forces were almost irreconcilable.
Not to mention the Demon Realm constantly lurking.
Or rather, it's fortunate that the Demon Realm is always watching, otherwise the three major factions of the Immortal Realm would have already started fighting.
By the way, I, along with most of my peers, are currently identified as ascender forces. Please don't forget this. Also, what about your conceptual-level river god?
Quick, lend it to me.
I've wanted to upgrade my fortress for a long time. It's just that the further you go down the technology tree, the harder it becomes to climb. Even with my efforts to force growth, the speed of civilization advancement slows down in later stages. Manufacturing law-level weapons might take who knows how long. Fortunately, I have you. Da Feng Novel Network.
Hurry up and take it out for me to use!"
Su Yunxiao briefly explained, then straightforwardly asked Ding Yun to lend her the conceptual-level river god.
"Alright, here you go..."
Ding Yun couldn't do anything about her mother's personality, so she quickly took out the conceptual-level river god and handed it over.
Then, it was Su Yunxiao's turn.
While maneuvering her war fortress into the river, she simultaneously activated the conceptual-level river god. And not just once, but several upgrades, until her galactic-level war fortress was upgraded to a cosmic law-level fortress. All the weapons inside also reached the level of law-level weapons, capable of direct dimensional strikes.
Comparable to the Great Golden Immortals in the mythological realm.
And only then did the Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm cease her actions.
Of course, this was also the limit of the conceptual-level river god. After all, the conceptual-level river god itself was merely a top-tier law-level weapon. Being able to upgrade other things to the law level was already quite impressive.
Even the Immortal Emperors didn't have the ability to bestow godhood upon other immortals. Doesn't that prove the power of the conceptual-level river god?
After completing this, Su Yunxiao didn't stop. She continued to perform several more upgrades on her other possessions until she herself possessed the ability to manufacture law-level weapons. Only then did she stop using the conceptual-level river god and returned it to Ding Yun:
"Alright, you can leave now..."
