Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 465

Chapter 465

“During the military exercise, all star generals may attack each other. The defeated will lose half their merit points to the victor …” The rules of the military exercise, announced by the military beforehand, still echoed in their ears.

Dong Potian’s merit points were suddenly halved, while Lu Sheng, who had been in last place, skyrocketed to second …

The reason was already clear—Lu Sheng and Dong Potian had encountered each other underwater.

And … Lu Sheng had defeated Dong Potian!

“How is that possible …” Someone couldn’t help but mutter under their breath.

This sentiment echoed in the hearts of many present.

A portion of the generals and commanders on the highest warship’s deck, as well as the star generals standing on the alloy martial arts platform, all stared intently at the merit leaderboard on the big screen, watching the name “Lu Sheng” with disbelief.

Only the generals and star generals of the Eastern Military Region had their eyes gleaming brightly, their spirits suddenly lifted. It felt like the clouds had finally parted, revealing the moon.

It’s happening! Finally, it’s happening!

This is the momentum they’ve been waiting for.

Their Eastern Region’s blazing sun … was about to unleash his strength!

“I have an objection!” Suddenly, a general from the Central Military Region stood up, speaking with a serious expression: “I question the validity of this result.”

“Seconded!” An officer from the Central Military Region added.

“Dong Potian’s strength is well-known. I don’t believe that someone who slept in the abyss for three days could defeat Dong Potian.”

The officer from the Central Region spoke loudly with conviction: “I suspect there’s been an error in the evaluation mechanism. I suggest that when both Dong Potian and Lu Sheng return, we should—”

Before he could finish speaking, gasps erupted from the crowd.

“Look over there!”

Everyone turned toward the sound, their faces filled with astonishment.

In the distance, the surface of the sea was rippling.

A section of the sea suddenly rose high, as if some colossal creature was about to emerge from beneath.

The next moment—

Boom!

A massive water column, over ten meters wide, exploded from the sea. The terrifying force caused monstrous waves, even shaking the nearby alloy martial arts platforms violently. Countless people’s expressions changed in shock, unsure of what was happening.

Vaguely, it seemed like a shadow shot up from the depths of the sea …

Whoosh—

The enormous waves stirred by the impact crashed down, pouring like torrential rain over the sea. A swarm of drones gathered to capture the scene. Soon, the rain ceased.

That section of the sea was shrouded in a misty vapor, and as sunlight pierced through, a rainbow appeared.

Everyone strained their eyes. Finally, they saw it. Suspended in midair, between the mist and the rainbow, stood a tall, handsome young man.

With one hand, he held a tall man by the neck, lifting him effortlessly, his face calm as he gazed in their direction.

Everyone’s pupils constricted. The drones faithfully broadcasted the scene to the massive screens in the sky. Everyone saw it clearly.

The figure, hanging like discarded trash in the youth’s grip by the neck … was none other than the Central Region’s number one star general—Dong Potian, known as the Eastern Emperor!

“Ugh!” On the deck of the highest warship, the generals from the Central Military Region who had just raised their objections stood frozen, their eyes wide, their bodies involuntarily stepping forward with a heavy thud.

Crack!

The ultra-strong alloy deck was crushed under their feet, leaving several deep impressions.

The star generals standing on the martial arts platform had similar reactions, especially those like Li Yao and Gao Tianzong, who regarded Dong Potian as their greatest rival.

Dong Potian was hailed as the Eastern Emperor of the Central Military Region, but his brilliance extended far beyond just the Central region. He had held the top spot on the star general leaderboard for many years.

To Li Yao and others, Dong Potian was like a towering mountain, a dark cloud pressing down on them, pushing them to grit their teeth and train tirelessly, always striving to surpass him.

But now, this legendary figure, shining like a myth … was being held like a sack of garbage.

A slender, powerful hand gripped Dong Potian’s throat, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t break free—not even by a fraction.

For many watching, this scene was an unparalleled shock.

Boom!

It felt as if something had collapsed within their hearts.

One god had fallen … and another was rising.

……

Five newly born immortal cells. Each occupied one of Lu Sheng’s limbs, with another in his heart.

This idea had come to him in a flash of inspiration. Previously, he had always used his first immortal cell as the core, expanding outward from there. But while cultivating in the depths of the abyssal cave, a sudden thought struck him.

What if he moved the immortal cells to other parts of his body?

The result surprised him greatly. These immortal cells, placed in different parts of his body, unlocked even more of the Stellar Immortal Body’s potential.

Previously hidden within his flesh and bones, the stellar patterns were now all awakened by the divine glow of the immortal cells.

Using the immortal cells as nodes, and centering on the cluster of immortal cells at his brow, Lu Sheng constructed a golden Stellar Meridian Diagram within his body.

Whenever Lu Sheng made a move, this brilliant star map would light up.

The power from twenty-two immortal cells flowed through him, connecting to the Stellar Immortal Body, unleashing a terrifying might that Lu Sheng had never imagined.

“Even a casual punch could easily exceed the power of a hundred stars. This is a refinement and optimization of a power system! The immortal cells that emerge later will continue to embellish and perfect this Stellar Meridian Diagram … I’ve been carrying a treasure and didn’t even realize it.”

The immortal cells came from the Stellar Immortal Technique, but even Wang He, the founder of the technique, never possessed the Stellar Immortal Body.

Lu Sheng had no one to guide him on this path. He could only explore and study in silence. Now, he had made some progress. A feeling of unprecedented achievement welled up within him.

“From now on, I am absolutely confident … that the brilliance of the Stellar Immortal Technique will shine brighter in my hands than it ever did in Wang He’s!”

The foundation of Lu Sheng’s martial arts came from the inheritance of three Level 11 masters. This inheritance was an immense fortune, but also a great shackle.

At this moment, Lu Sheng finally took the first step toward breaking free from that shackle. It was a step worth celebrating.

“Based on the foundation of the three Level 11s, I will transcend the three. This is the path I must walk from now on …”

Although this time’s cultivation only increased his immortal cells by five, bringing the total to twenty-two, the benefits Lu Sheng gained were unprecedented.

“The future I once foresaw has changed again …” As Lu Sheng ascended from the seabed, holding Dong Potian by the throat, he took a brief moment to enter his dream world.

(Dong Potian: ??? You took a nap while fighting me?)

He glanced at the future predictions from the Fireseed Repository. There wasn’t much change. Or rather, the change was quite significant. What had originally been a “serious injury and retreat” had now become “wounded and retreat.”

The difference of a single word held vastly different meanings.

“Unfortunately … this still isn’t the future I desire.”
