Chapter 624: Chapter 376: "Celestial Calculation Center," "Earth Calculation Center"... Jiang Cai’Er’s Unique Way of Ascending to the Divine Tier
Luo Feifei could open a passage to Earth at any time, allowing her to retreat completely unscathed even if she encountered danger.
As Li Xiang admired Luo Feifei’s wondrous ability, he was naturally relieved. When he had time, he could always go visit her on Ceres himself.
The only problem was that Li Xiang’s current speed was still too slow; it would take him a full five or six days to fly to Ceres.
In truth, even traveling at the speed of light was still impractical for traversing the cosmos. A year of flight only covered a single light-year, and the Black Mist Star Realm was an unknown number of light-years across. Comparatively, the Teleportation Arrays on the Ancient Starry Sky Road that Luo Feifei had mentioned were far more practical.
’I hope Feifei becomes the master of Ceres as soon as possible. With an extra Divine King Realm ally, my chances of seizing control of Earth will be much greater.’ Previously, Li Xiang had launched several sneak attacks on the core deep beneath the surface, but they were all futile—like trying to scratch an itch through a boot—and left him feeling powerless.
If Luo Feifei were to join him, she would be an enormous boon.
Li Xiang stood atop Taishan, gazing toward Ceres. However, the distance was too great and Ceres itself was too small; he could only make out a tiny, sesame seed-sized dot. He certainly couldn’t see Luo Feifei within the Dark Cosmic Space deep inside the planetoid.
Li Xiang then cast his gaze toward the Moon, and a curious sensation washed over him.
Since Earth and the Moon were relatively close—only about 380,000 kilometers apart—he still knew everything happening on its surface as if it were the back of his hand.
He had undergone Fusion with the Heart of the Moon and become the Master of the Moon, but the Heart of the Moon itself remained within the Moon’s core, not within his own body.
The process was a strange one; it was as if he had gained a Clone. And that Clone was the Moon itself.
To put it another way, the Heart of the Moon was a Spiritual Will that had been born within the Moon. But this Spiritual Will was like an infant—ignorant and a blank slate. After he fused with it, he simply took its place.
At that moment, on the Moon, construction of Jade Rabbit New City was in full swing. Immigrants were being ferried over in batches aboard the Cloud Whale Aerospace Carrier.
In orbit around the Moon, over sixty thousand satellites were packed together in a dense swarm. Among them, a group of eighteen thousand recently launched satellites was particularly special.
These weren’t ordinary satellites used for applications like communication, navigation, or monitoring. They were specialized Computing Satellites, each one equivalent to a high-performance Quantum Computer.
These eighteen thousand satellites were dispersed throughout the Moon’s orbit, yet they were all tightly interconnected. They shared a data link via inter-satellite laser transmissions, forming a massive, Space-Based Quantum Computer matrix known as the "Celestial Calculation Center."
As the saying goes, "Man’s calculations are no match for Heaven’s." And now, Jiang Cai’Er not only had the Celestial Calculation Center but also numerous Earth Calculation Centers.
Li Xiang observed for a moment, then suddenly sensed something and was overjoyed. ’Cai’Er has reached the Divine Tier!’
With a flicker of his form, he instantly headed for City No. 03. He found Jiang Cai’Er, and sure enough, she was at Tier Twenty-Nine!
Tiers twenty-nine through thirty-eight constituted the Divine Tier, fully known as the Meteor Divine Tribulation Realm, which came with a lifespan of several thousand years.
However, Jiang Cai’Er’s method of advancement was different; in a way, her lifespan was limitless.
"That’s right, brother. And it’s all thanks to you for sharing your experience in the Divine King Realm." Jiang Cai’Er threw herself into Li Xiang’s arms, snuggling up to him. Even though she was now at the Divine Tier and one of the most powerful figures on the planet, in front of Li Xiang, she was still the same little high school girl she had always been.
Jiang Cai’Er’s cultivation path had always been unique. When Li Xiang engaged in Dual Cultivation with her, he could only provide her with some cultivation insights and increase the density of her Spiritual Power; he couldn’t actually help her break through to the next tier. In this regard, she was different from his other women.
Li Xiang hadn’t expected that by drawing on his experience of entering the Divine King Realm, Jiang Cai’Er would figure out a new method. And when she put it into practice, it actually worked!
At the time, when Li Xiang shared his experience of fusing with the Heart of the Moon, Jiang Cai’Er had grown thoughtful and arrived at a marvelous insight.
When Li Xiang asked what she was thinking, Jiang Cai’Er said hesitantly, "I feel like... the Moon is also a supercomputer."
"A supercomputer?" Li Xiang asked, confused.
Jiang Cai’Er explained, "Or perhaps a massive machine. A machine on a planetary scale."
As Li Xiang was exceptionally intelligent himself, he understood at once after hearing Jiang Cai’Er’s description. To his surprise, he found that what she said made perfect sense!
Jiang Cai’Er’s point was this: if the Moon were likened to a supercomputer, then his Fusion with the Heart of the Moon and transformation into the Moon Will—the Master of the Moon—meant that as long as the Moon itself wasn’t destroyed, he could survive on it as a spiritual lifeform (the Moon Will), even if his physical body were killed. Wasn’t this process remarkably similar to how she created Digital Life Clones and hosted them on various servers? It was the same principle, achieved through different means.
And so, with Li Xiang’s support and encouragement, Jiang Cai’Er sprang into action.
She already had a number of Digital Life Clones hosted on various servers, such as those in City No. 03, on the Cloud Whale Aerospace Carrier, in other Underground Cities on Earth, in Guanghan City, and in the soon-to-be-built Jade Rabbit City.
However, none of these were on a particularly grand scale.
What if she built several exceptionally large host server matrices? To put it extravagantly, if she built a Supercomputing Center comparable in size to the Moon, could she also cross into the Divine King Realm?
However, the sheer amount of manpower, materials, and funds required to build a Clone host the size of the Moon was astronomical. It was completely unfeasible in the short term, but building smaller versions was still possible.
Thus, Jiang Cai’Er began to devote all her efforts to producing Quantum Computers, creating both ground-based servers and Space-Based "Computing Satellites."
