I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 389: Chapter 288: A Few Matters

”Ye Qiu’s state of mind has shattered.”

”I know about this, but I can’t solve it.”

Lin Jingxuan stood with his hands behind his back by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at it as golden profound texts appeared on the immense glass pane before him.

They constantly shifted, rearranged, and then scattered into fine golden light particles, only to start anew.

This was his private reception room, which could also serve as a small meeting room.

Currently, only Han Zhan and Lin Jingxuan were present in the small meeting room.

”After becoming an ordinary person, is there really no way to start over on a new path?” Han Zhan couldn’t help but ask.

”Of course there is. Have you forgotten?”

Lin Jingxuan glanced at him.

”Didn’t our teacher forge a path as a close combat martial artist after suffering severe injuries?”

”Alas, how many on Blue Star possess the same courage and determination as our teacher? Giving up the struggle is human nature.”

Han Zhan’s sentiment was quite reasonable.

Moreover, Ye Qiu had said something that struck his heart.

Ye Qiu said he had already died once for Great Xia, and now he wanted to live.

Indeed, Ye Qiu, as the Legion Commander of the Fourth War Zone, had experienced hundreds of battles, shedding blood for Great Xia.

Is it wrong for him to want to live now?

Why must he continue striving to recover and burn his life for Great Xia?

Han Zhan had neither the reason nor the right to demand anything from Ye Qiu.

”Let’s leave Fourth Brother’s matter for now. Currently, in North County, more and more people are stepping up, the situation is stable, and there’s no need to push the meritorious subjects of Great Xia further.”

Han Zhan’s words received Lin Jingxuan’s approval.

”Let’s talk about other things.”

”Shang Siteng and Bob are responsible for setting up the Celestial Net on that side, which now basically covers all of North County, forming a ’large local area network’.”

”The formula derivation for the Energy Bricks has also been added to the agenda.”

Talking about the Celestial Net, Lin Jingxuan’s tone became noticeably lighter.

After all, the establishment of the Northern County Celestial Net reduced a lot of heavy work for him, giving him more time to delve into the mysteries of the Origin.

Speaking of the Origin.

”Look, what is this.”

As Lin Jingxuan spoke, he lightly waved a white feather fan, and with this movement, the golden profound texts on the floor-to-ceiling window disintegrated into tiny particles like dust.

Immediately, these golden tiny particles reassembled into thick golden threads, the thickness of one’s arm.

One, two, three.

The three golden threads aligned together, forming a new pattern.

Seeing this pattern, Han Zhan’s pupils shrank abruptly because he recognized it!

It was one of the Eight Trigrams, Qian!

As expected, with another wave from Lin Jingxuan, the golden profound texts deriving from the River Map and Luo Book reassembled into another new pattern.

This also consisted of three thick golden lines.

The only difference was that each golden line was interrupted in the middle.

This was one of the Eight Trigrams, Kun!

Lin Jingxuan waved the white feather fan in his hand a total of eight times, and eight different patterns were formed from the golden profound texts.

”The Eight Trigrams.” After Lin Jingxuan’s demonstration, Han Zhan muttered to himself.

”You really know, yes, this is the true Eight Trigrams.”

In his initial attempts to comprehend the River Map and Luo Book and integrate it with the Heaven and Earth Array, Lin Jingxuan had once successfully summoned the Eight Trigrams, but they were merely ”characters.”

Now, the eight patterns manifesting on the floor-to-ceiling window represented the true essence of ”hexagrams!”

Second Brother Lin Jingxuan had made further progress in understanding the River Map and Luo Book!

”I have a premonition that upon fully mastering these eight patterns, the River Map and Luo Book will begin to fuse with me, allowing me to grasp its true ’authority.’

Lin Jingxuan used the term ”authority.”

What does the authority represented by the River Map, Luo Book, and Eight Trigrams entail?

Contemplating this, Han Zhan suddenly anticipated the day when Second Brother would succeed in his comprehension.

...

In the time that followed,

besides being a diligent gardener, watering trees and arranging flowers every day, Han Zhan did not interfere too much with the operations of all North County.

Just like Li Tugui said, the path is walked by oneself, not helped by others.

He was already at the forefront of everyone; as for those who would further expand and pave the way, it required more effort from the Great Xia people.

With Bob’s large-scale transformation of North County through the Celestial Net,

the division of labor among major cities in North County became more rational, and cooperation between cities greatly improved.

Under the coverage of the Northern County Celestial Net, the efficiency and accuracy of all intelligent machines improved significantly.

Additionally, some things that shouldn’t have existed in this world began to emerge with Bob’s construction.

For instance, amusement parks.

According to Bob, it collected this information from the Ultimate Slaughter Battlefield.

In that world, there were still many commendable aspects, with amusement parks being one of them.

This novel attraction was built by Bob in a small town in the northern part of North County.

”Who wants to go to the amusement park with me?”

One morning, Han Zhan received electronic tickets to the amusement park sent by Bob via a courier robot and turned to ask the girls at home.

”I’m not going.”

Li Lingzhen murmured as she sucked on a lollipop, her fingers swiftly typing on the keyboard.

In recent times, with Han Zhan’s personal guidance, Li Lingzhen’s creativity was flourishing, and she needed to finish her manuscript for the month by the end of the month.

Aside from Li Lingzhen, only Xia Youwei and Nuannuan remained at home.

Gongyang Jin had gone to hone her Sword Skills early in the morning, a habit she never broke.

Shang Siteng was busy constructing and setting up the Celestial Net, her Nuwa Stone of Heavenly Origin power was indispensable, without her, the setup speed would be reduced by at least tenfold.

When Han Zhan found Xia Youwei, Nuannuan was also present, and they were watching a TV drama together.

Lying on the bed, their four small white legs swung back and forth, almost making Han Zhan dizzy.

”Youwei, Nuannuan, do you want to go to the amusement park?”

”Yes (no)!”

Xia Youwei and Nuannuan gave different answers.

Xia Youwei, still the Xia University Beauty who had trouble refusing others, couldn’t possibly decline since Han Zhan proposed the idea.

As for Nuannuan, ”Isn’t it just a replica of the amusement park in the Slaughter Battlefield? I’ve played there enough.”

Nuannuan’s response left people unsure of how to reply.

”You guys go, I’m not going, I’ll continue watching my drama, Legend of the Main Palace!”

When Nuannuan mentioned the drama’s name, Han Zhan leaned back slightly in strategic retreat.

Before he could ask more questions, Xia Youwei blushed and hugged his arm, pulling him out of the room.

”Ah Zhan, hurry up and change clothes, let’s go to the amusement park!”
