Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 590 - 587: Seeing Off

When Ji Quanzhen saw that it was Lu Ren, he raised an eyebrow, and the iron rod in his hand stopped instantly.

Such a fluid transition, even a force capable of splitting mountains, cracking the earth, and cleaving the sea, was controlled with such exquisite precision.

Lu Ren looked at the slowly retracting rod before his eyes and couldn't help saying, "It seems your Nine Revolutions Profound Skill is quite well-practiced, have you become an Immortal Human?"

"You kid, why do you love this kind of mischievous appearing and disappearing act so much, it's simply too much."

Ji Quanzhen replied irritably, then seemed a bit proud as he said, "I'm just a half-step Human Immortal, it still needs time to transform, give me thirty to fifty years, and I'll be able to avoid the path of the Taoism Fruit, achieving the Human Immortal Realm.

I truly didn't expect that Monkey Sun, after millions of years of pondering and meditation, actually found a path."

Lu Ren mercilessly ridiculed, "That old monkey definitely borrowed from the Witchcraft Path, otherwise, where would this talk of Life Stars come from?"

Ji Quanzhen waved his hand indifferently, "Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, catching mice is a good cat, the words of great men always hold some truth."

After a pause, Ji Quanzhen's expression grew somber, "This mothership is named The Wu Chai."

Lu Ren's eyes flickered, but he didn't respond to Ji Quanzhen's words, understanding the significance behind the naming of this mothership.

King Fu Chai of Wu, being King Goujian of Yue, implies enduring hardships to plot a comeback.

This is a form of humiliation, for the enemies are too strong, forcing them to leave home, to venture into the depths of space and seek a new land.

In this way, the legacy continues, ensuring that when the human fire on Earth is extinguished, there will still be Huaxia.

"After all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

Ji Quanzhen sighed deeply, his face always shrouded in worry.

"Weakness is the original sin, our Human Race has enjoyed freedom for a long time, and after the end of the Mythical Era, our Human Race has gone through a very long period of stagnation. If it weren't for your appearance, I'm afraid our future would still be of enslavement, treated as resources, as materials, as consumables!"

Ji Quanzhen's eyes turned red, staring fixedly at the homeland-class mothership Wu Chai below.

"To build this mothership, many technological blind spots emerged, and as many as tens of thousands died! Among them were even a few cultivators at the Seeking Truth Realm. While building the strong power furnace, in order to prevent the exploding power furnace from releasing, they used their own lives to hold it back, allowing this Wu Chai to appear before you at this point in time."

Lu Ren said softly, "Some hardships, I can't always intervene to help them, there are always some things, I can't keep holding them in my hands."

"I'm not blaming you or anything," Ji Quanzhen shook his head slightly, "It's just that the price we paid for this star voyage was too great! Twenty-five billion people from Huaxia have not rested a single day in ten years for this one mothership.

Fresh graduates gave up easy office jobs, put on safety helmets, went down to the mines, boarded the docks, many with high Martial Path talents, who might have achieved Seeking Truth in the future, yet they set aside their skills to focus on machinery.

For this one mothership that can go to the depths of space to find a new home, we sacrificed so much."

Ji Quanzhen's heart was extremely unsettled, watching the people as industrious as ants clambering up and down the mothership, making last preparations.

He turned and grabbed Lu Ren's wrist, his voice now extremely hoarse.

"This Wu Chai can only carry half a million people! Twenty-five billion people, just to give half a million people a glimmer of hope!"

Lu Ren's heart was heavy, staring fixedly at the Wu Chai below, with thousands of words he wanted to say, but in the end, they remained swirling in his chest, unable to be uttered.

If only his Inner Heaven and Earth had been opened earlier, nurtured for decades, it might possibly hold a planet the size of the Moon.

If only he had explored the Exotic Realm a bit more earlier, perhaps the opportunities gained would have let him reach Earth Immortal even sooner.

If… If if if, if there were so many ifs in the world, there wouldn't be so much regret and despair.

After a long time, Lu Ren finally said with a somewhat dry voice, "They should set off, time is already running out, are the selections made?"

Ji Quanzhen's voice was low, "Apart from the hundred thousand who must serve as pillars, the remaining four hundred thousand slots have all been confirmed within Huaxia, though many have given up their chance to board."

Lu Ren didn't speak, only said softly, "The current leader will handle this matter well, within three days, everyone must board, otherwise, there won't be enough time."

Ji Quanzhen nodded slightly, "I've already informed them."

After chatting for a while, Ji Quanzhen, ultimately not very interested, turned to leave, but before that, he turned his head to Lu Ren and asked, "Will you say a few words at that time?"

Lu Ren hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "I will see them off."

Ji Quanzhen nodded slightly, saying nothing more, only adding, "Zhang Tongxuan has encountered some issues, after this, you might want to check on him."

Lu Ren's expression shifted slightly, nodding in understanding.

In the following three days, while completing the final maintenance work on the Wu Chai mothership, large floating cargo ships began a nonstop, round-the-clock transport of people to the Wu Chai.

By noon on the third day, the full complement of half a million people had already boarded the ship, the heart-wrenching farewells and eternal goodbyes during this time no longer needed further elaboration.

The entire Huaxia was draped in a mantle of heroism.

Standing amidst the void, Lu Ren's mobilization was completed; when Wu Chai initiated and prepared for its scheduled ultra-long-distance warp jump, he no longer hesitated but unfolded his Ancestral Witch Incarnation.

The colossal figure attracted the attention of all the people on Huaxia Divine Land and on the Wu Chai, every person recognizing Lu Ren's majestic form.

Lu Ren's eyes were solemn; the Thick Earth Essence Qi around him drew from the void, as the Life Star Earth, in an incredible manner, projected rich Starlight Power and Boundless Thick Earth Essence Qi encircling him.

Lu Ren's fingers interlocked, continuously laying down complex and intricate defensive array marks above the Wu Chai, utilizing the immense Thick Earth Essence Qi.

He even invoked the Ancestral Witch Bloodline, forcibly leaving an incarnation formed from Wish Power within the Tuo'e Temple established inside the Wu Chai's homeland space.

This incarnation is without thought or desire, but can elevate the field, achieving the effect of the Tuo'e Temple on Earth.

After all, the ultimate destination of Wu Chai will be to leave the Milky Way Galaxy, heading for the Andromeda Galaxy, to avoid the True Realm Evil God and the Immortal Path Gods who are about to descend from the Mythical Era in this region.

Finally, Lu Ren retracted his hand, his words low and deep.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you can let the fire of our Human Race take root and grow in the Fairy Star System, here, Lu Ren sees you off!"

With those words, Lu Ren formed a seal technique with his hands, emitting immeasurable divine light, thereby opening an active space for the leap, hoping to give the Wu Chai an extraordinarily smooth initial warp jump.
