Chapter 141 The Mother of the Great Void <TOC> Chapter 143 Black Hawk Down

The benefits of a gentleman are cut off after five generations. Throughout history, there have been countless examples of the descendants of great heroes becoming corrupt and degenerate.
Awakened individuals who are constantly tempted by the Olden Day Rulers are even more prone to corruption than ordinary people. Li Piguang set such requirements to prevent the entrusted non-humans from taking over the fragments of the Exile Realm.
“Remember, you must not stay in the Exile Realm for more than seventy hours within a month, or you will be completely assimilated and unable to leave. To stay longer, you must increase your own power level.”
Li Mu could feel the earth shaking slightly, with black water flowing out from the underground channels and quickly engulfing him.
He entered the Source Ocean almost without warning.
The cold source essence substance flowed against his skin, and Li Mu heightened his vigilance, his psychic energy ready to be unleashed.
The next moment, he felt a rhythm, as if something was calling him from across the distant Source Ocean.
Countless worm-like texts cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly occupying all of his vision, jumping around like garbled code.
Moments later, a voice appeared in his mind.
【New module detected, load it?】
【Industrial Expansion Module: The Exile Realm will enter a comprehensive industrial era, allowing you to produce never-ending psychic energy engines, manufacture power armor on streamlined production lines, and create floating escort ships that shield the sky.】
Li Piguang seemed not to notice anything unusual. He activated his power, and with a brief daze, Li Mu was brought back to the wasteland world.
He looked at Li Mu, feeling a bit puzzled. Connecting the Exile Realm to one’s soul would cause a serious burden on the soul, and it was common to directly faint. In severe cases, one could even be weak for several months.
Li Piguang, due to the advantage of his psychic energy bias, was also dazed for several days before recovering. He had originally planned to let Li Mu go through the weakness period in the Source Ocean but found that Li Mu didn’t need it at all.
“It seems you have completely adapted. Next, I will teach you a secret technique. Before the Great Catastrophe, human awakened ones had extracted a lot of forbidden and dangerous knowledge from the corpses of the two Olden Day Rulers that were killed.”
“At that time, many awakened ones sacrificed themselves due to contamination in order to classify and store all the knowledge according to danger levels.”
“As a participant in the Mother of the Great Void project, my access level is high, and I have read a lot of knowledge with low danger levels. From that, I have sorted out a secret technique.”
“This secret technique comes from an ancient alien civilization, the Ourobin Five-Eyed race. They live on a huge planet covered by a yellow ocean, and their research on psychic energy far surpasses that of humans.”
“In order to solve the desperate situation of getting closer to the Olden Day Rulers as they delve deeper into exploring psychic energy, the Ourobin Five-Eyed race paid a huge price and discovered a new way to master psychic energy.”
“That is to say, through the use of curios, all psychic energy and holy relics are entrusted to various peculiar objects. The ability of these objects to bear psychic energy and holy relics is much stronger than the fragile flesh and blood. This allows the Ourobin Five-Eyed race to easily master and deploy various powerful prohibitions, displaying a variety of incredible uses.”
“Nevertheless, the civilization of the Ourobin Five-Eyed race still perished, leaving only a few remnants in the memories of the old rulers.”
After passing on the complete secrets of the Ourobin Five-Eyed race to Li Mu, Li Piguang completely disappeared, as if he had never existed.
Moments later, a hooded figure appeared on the street, blending into the crowd and disappearing from sight.
Soon, the security officers appeared on the streets, setting up checkpoints at key traffic points on each street, piling up sandbags, and checking the identities of pedestrians. Anyone who hesitated in their response would be knocked down by a rifle butt, detained, and later subjected to scrutiny.
Soon after, the pronvince troops were mobilized, with soldiers in power armor and full gear, painted in jungle camouflage, taking over the checkpoints.
Heavy trucks pulled heavy weaponry into the city.
The furious governor abandoned his previous tacit understanding and directly tore off his mask. Raja Santanu had already prepared for a fallout with the Soul Cult but did not expect it to come into play so soon.
After the city’s traffic was completely blocked, the province troops launched a surprise attack on several armed forces controlled by the Soul Cult, directly employing helicopters and artillery.
The dull sound of cannon fire echoed throughout Avonigarda City, collapsing reinforced concrete buildings and sending thick smoke billowing into the sky.
Some cultists of the Soul Cult fought back, but in the face of the hasty attack, they were no match for the province troops. Intense firefights erupted between the two sides in the city, with armed believers and cultists being constantly killed.
Even ordinary believers were not spared. The security officers and province troops closed off various communities and began to purge devout believers from the communities.
Some security officers and military officials took advantage of the situation to amass wealth, looting the property of believers and even ordinary citizens.
The Soul Cult in Avonigarda City suffered an unprecedented blow.
Galurisa paced back and forth in the Soul Cult’s refuge, his face gloomy as if it could drip water.
Because most of the bishops of the sect had entered the wilderness to carry out the long-prepared plan, the strength in Avonigarda City was weaker than ever before.
The Elijah Commercial Bank was attacked and sealed by the province troops. If it weren’t for his vigilance, he would have fallen into the hands of Raja Santanu. Almost only he survived in his parish, with heavy losses.
His face twisted in anger, he comforted himself that as long as the plan succeeded, all of this would be paid back a hundredfold, even a thousandfold.
There was something massive hiding in the depths of the shelter, the vibrations from its chest breathing causing the thick steel and concrete structure to tremble slightly, and the hot, humid breath stirred in the narrow space.
This was a psychic creature under his control, secretly raised in the city of Avonigarda, and had hidden with him in this extremely concealed underground shelter.
As a bishop of the Soul Cult, Galurisa naturally possessed extraordinary power. As an awakened manipulator, he did not choose the usual objects for manipulation, such as powered armor, but chose to raise psychic creatures instead.
For manipulator-type awakened individuals, psychic creatures are not very good subjects for manipulation.
Psychic creatures need to consume a large amount of meat every day, are not easy to cultivate, and cannot be easily repaired like powered armor when injured, even having the risk of disability. Moreover, when the awakened person is in a bad state, there is a risk of backlash.
However, if the psychic creature is powerful enough, none of the above issues would be a problem.
“Calm down, calm down, my child. It won’t be long before you can taste fresh flesh and blood again.”
