I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 374. Statue of Liberty? Puppet!
Chapter 374: 374. Statue of Liberty? Puppet!
Lu Li arrived at "New York City" to scope out the area, initially being extra cautious, fearing that he might inadvertently alert his enemies.
However, after arriving, he found that he had worried too much. There happened to be a large group of Xia Descendants marching in the streets with slogans like "Stop the hate, oppose discrimination."
It turned out that after Lu Li’s last maneuver, the Star Alliance Country’s Xia Descendants had become scapegoats, frequently suffering from discrimination and even violent persecution, with their situation becoming increasingly unbearable.
The streets now had many Xia Descendants present, which made Lu Li all the more inconspicuous—a fortuitous outcome.
But when he looked at the slogans these people were carrying, he couldn’t help frowning.
"I am very weak, please don’t bully me."
"Treat us with the same love you have for Xia State’s food."
"We are also citizens of the Star Alliance Country."
...
Seeing such slogans, onlookers of other skin colors all smirked.
"Is this an anti-oppression march or some sort of cute appeal for affection?"
Lu Li couldn’t understand why these people were showing their vulnerability to the enemy, and moreover, why none of them carried guns – a major oversight, in his opinion.
"Every man has a gun, so they wouldn’t dare... wait a second, maybe not, Moxico isn’t exactly much better."
The youth wasn’t adept at politics and didn’t bother to ponder it, as it wasn’t his concern.
He continued on his way, pinpointing the location of the Spirit Vein with precision.
He had done this several times before and had become quite experienced. Plus, with the Spirit Vein abundant and not buried deep, a large amount of Spirit Mechanism leaked out, making it even easier to locate.
Lu Li arrived at the Hudson River’s estuary and was slightly taken aback when he looked toward the center of the bay:
"The central point of the Spirit Vein... is it near the Statue of Liberty?"
There in the ocean stood a majestic copper statue, crowned with a resplendent diadem, carrying a torch held high in the right hand, and held a large book in the left hand.
Beneath its feet lay shattered shackles, chains, and fetters, symbolizing the struggle from tyrannical constraints and celebrating freedom.
It was the world-famous Statue of Liberty, and the central point of the Spirit Vein was not far away in the sea.
Lu Li looked around and thought the bay was actually quite nice.
Being two to three kilometers from land with a water depth of fifteen meters would provide cover for his breakthrough.
But there’s a downside to everything. If at the crucial moment his cover was blown, the Star Alliance Country could use heavy weaponry without any reservations.
However, it was still better than being discovered right from the start and not having a chance to play at all.
Lu Li calculated that Shen Siang, that pauper, only took six days, and he, with a significant amount of Spirit Mechanism assistance, would only be faster.
The battle could generally be divided into three stages.
In the beginning, with no activity, everything would definitely remain peaceful;
When the Spiritual Grain began to form, he would need the Puppets to attract attention on the outside.
Once the "Accretion Disk" was created, it would certainly not be concealable anymore, then he’d reach the final stage, requiring the Flying Sword to protect his breakthrough...
Realizing this, Lu Li discovered a problem—
The Star Alliance Country would definitely be fully prepared against Flying Swords and Puppets, so he needed to find another method.
A sea breeze blew as Lu Li looked towards the towering Statue of Liberty, and an idea suddenly sparked in his mind:
"I have Fan Chengxun and Ling Gui, two Soul Emergence Divine Souls, and 400 million Wish Power that can drive Puppets, and not small Puppets at that!"
Lu Li himself was at the Soul Emergence stage and of course knew how powerful these Divine Souls were, especially having two of them!
The Statue of Liberty, with its arm lowered, was about 40 meters tall, which was just right.
"Two Soul Emergence Divine Souls as the nervous system, 400 million Wish Power as the driving force—it’s enough power for activation!"
Lu Li grew more and more convinced and, most importantly, the Statue of Liberty was a landmark building known around the world.
How many years of Wish Power refinement could it have gone through in over a century? Even if it was enormous, it must have been refined into a "sacrificial tool"!
Once activated, its fighting power couldn’t be low~
Just imagine a 40-meter tall metal giant with a torch in one hand and a book in the other demolishing a city and drawing souls to heal its wounds... it was like something out of Pacific Rim!
Lu Li immediately got excited, "Looks like it’s time to stir up some big trouble for the people of the Star Alliance Country!"
He forcefully suppressed his excitement, found a deserted spot, dove into the bay, and torpedoed to Liberty Island where the statue stood.
Without even coming ashore, Lu Li opened his Heavenly Eye and released his Spirit from the seabed, probing towards the Statue of Liberty.
"Sure enough~ it’s already a sacrificial tool!"
This didn’t come as a surprise, but Lu Li immediately showed a shocked expression:
"Hiss~ it comes with 20 billion Wish Power!!!"
After all, he had underestimated the world-class landmark; it didn’t need Lu Li’s Wish Power at all—it came with its own~
This was even with no one seeking it, as countless Wish Power had faded away with the passing of time. Otherwise, with the Star Alliance’s publicity machine, it would have been more than 20 billion!
Lu Li’s spirits lifted, "Worthy of an item from Blue Star! The might of this giant... is probably far beyond imagination."
"I can hardly wait!"
No sooner said than done, Lu Li immediately set about awakening this unprecedented puppet.
The entire process was incredibly simple; there was no need for things like "Jade Powder"—Lu Li merely crushed two Soul Emergence Divine Souls with his Spirit and forcibly infused them into the statue’s head and heart.
This was a top-notch embryo, refined by several billion Wish Power over a hundred years, with no fancy tricks needed—just the sheer force to dominate!
To ensure foolproof success, Lu Li also added in the two Fetal Breath Divine Souls he had on hand, items of little use to him.
Mixed with his Spirit, he forced them into the statue’s main joints.
The statue showed no reaction; tourists still busily visited and took photos, unable to see the Divine Soul and Spirit.
Lu Li was not in a hurry; such a massive undertaking would certainly require time.
His Spirit was traveling inside the statue, forming a neural network enveloping its entire body; the results would soon be visible.
This was an unexpected windfall, a good omen, and Lu Li was in a good mood, naturally aiming to press his advantage.
He summoned the Kunlun Mirror to his hand and began detecting the Spirit Vein.
According to the Qi Observation, the Spirit Vein wasn’t deep underground and likely wouldn’t require "laser drilling."
With one induction using the Kunlun Mirror, Lu Li quickly confirmed this and nodded with a smile.
"This trip is going smoothly!"
Sometimes, to achieve something, that "smooth" momentum is needed.
Lu Li didn’t dawdle and went straight to the heart of the Spirit Vein, starting to "Condense Heart Image"!
In the Innate Realm, one can use "True Qi Circulation" in place of breathing, which made the seabed particularly tranquil.
Following the "Manifesting Saint Enlightenment Chapter", Lu Li began to connect with the "self" within his consciousness.
What is the self?
When faced with a tiger, some people will immediately evacuate their waste, ready to flee;
Some are scared witless, frozen in place;
And some become so courageously impassioned, they pick up a stone to fight to the death!
These instinctive reactions that bypass consciousness, the earliest and most primal part of personality, a repository for impulses and desires, is the "self"!
The self is buried deep in consciousness, existing in the world of thought.
Manifesting Saints is about bringing it into the physical world, becoming a bridge for cultivators to communicate with the world, becoming—Protectors!
