“Pull the master switch, Xiaomi. Let’s give the Nine Provinces five-bar immortal reception.”
Lin Mo stood on the high command terrace of the #1 Prime Minister Manor on Jade-Dragon Ridge.
The morning sun had risen over the eastern mountains, bathing the continent in pale winter light.
Around Lin Mo stood the core technical leadership of the Taichu Benevolence Group. Master Lu Jian stood with his hands on his hips, his yellow array hard-hat gleaming in the sunlight. Tang Xiaomi and Tang Feng stood before a colossal, twelve-foot-wide master control console carved from solid purple Star-Gold.
On the console’s holographic projection array, three thousand six hundred golden points of light formed a dense, shimmering web across the Nine Provinces.
Each point represented a newly forged Star-Gold Relay Pylon, locked into the highest granite peaks and city gates from the Northern Frost tundra to the Southern River basins. All thirty-six Planetary Spirit-Vein Core Nodes hummed in perfect harmonic alignment beneath the bedrock.
Tang Xiaomi looked up, her amber eyes glowing with nervous excitement. Her hand rested on a heavy lever forged from astral bronze.
“Chairman Lin, the atmospheric frequency is tuned to the Heavenly Dao’s natural resonance,” Tang Xiaomi said, her breath catching in her throat. “To ignite all thirty-six nodes and saturate the pylon grid with primary origin energy, we need a massive initial catalyst charge.”
