Chapter 17 - Chapter 15: Dead Broke

Seeing that they successfully broke through, entered the vast ocean, and once again hid among the city and its people, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the dignity of the divine has been preserved. After all, if the mysterious and magnificent Outer God can't even protect his own followers, there's nothing left to play.

He continued observing the entire world.

What exactly is that Tower of Babel?

This weapon for killing gods, trying to break the world's Crystal Wall?

Li Qing started thinking about potential threats.

He speculated based on creatures from nature.

Is it something like spraying toxic liquid bullets to corrode glass?

Or perhaps something like a chameleon's tongue at seven times the speed of sound, trying to pierce the Crystal Wall?

Don't be ridiculous!

Their civilization has only just developed multicellular life, still a messy and crude cell binding, even if they've developed cannons, how powerful can they be?

They see transparent glass as fragile, but in reality, they can't comprehend the strength of tempered glass.

Even ordinary glass might not be dealt with successfully.

"Using ultraviolet rays takes so long, how could it possibly break through this glass physically?"

"The gap between civilizations is too vast."

Li Qing doesn't believe the other side can achieve it.

Though he considered the cheeky operation of "open a small hole, use an airgun to smash the Tower of Babel," upon careful thought, he dismissed it.

Actually, the best solution is: kill the Emperor.

Take out the Emperor, then let the pro-God Church ascend, steal their civilization essence, controlling them from behind the scenes, and complete extinction isn't the best choice.

Moreover, it's really inconvenient to completely annihilate.

"Without entering the room, there are very few means to completely annihilate inside! Only scorching Hell—gasoline, or freezing century—liquid nitrogen?" Li Qing hesitated slightly, "Or maybe, dust explosion?"

But if this method were effective, he would have used it early on.

First is liquid nitrogen.

Laboratory-grade steel can withstand it, but worried that tempered bulletproof glass couldn't bear it!

Glass is still susceptible to rapid cooling and heating.

Anyone who's seen those "reckless foreigner videos" knows that liquid nitrogen is terrifying; thin steel plates can be frozen stiff, snapped easily into two segments, let alone glass?

Such a large piece of glass, uneven cooling, cracking is quite normal.

The bulletproof glass before him is as big as a floor-to-ceiling window, how much would it cost if it's of high quality?

Li Qing doubted Ning Guochang's financial strength; though his parents left some inheritance, it wasn't much, potentially causing him to buy inferior products.

After all, the tempered glass from Pinduoduo with such a large area isn't expensive, claims to be bulletproof; but do you dare trust its effectiveness?

Wouldn't destroying this glass with the highest quality military-grade standards be seeking one's own death?

Then there's gasoline.

Glass heated unevenly also poses a risk of cracking, not to mention gasoline may not necessarily lead to extinction.

The interior oxygen isn't sufficient to burn for long, the fire would soon extinguish.

As for injecting oxygen inside through a small hole?

It might bring air convection, sending the other party out, which is courting death.

As for the final dust explosion?

Ignoring the possibility of glass fracturing.

Dust explosion requires dust agitation, evenly spreading through the air, which might lead to air convection as well.

These three methods aren't very viable, the more complex the operation, the more likely something goes wrong.

Not to mention other things, vacuuming could cause the glass to collapse and shatter... Alright, in the end, it's still a lack of funds.

However, Li Qing had already prepared the next apocalyptic measure, more perfect, with no side effects. Compared to the previous two mass extinctions, this time is truly fierce.

But for now, let's see if the inside guard team can breakthrough this civilization internally.

An apocalypse could also implicate the guard team, squandering all his painstaking effort.

Doing an inside job is far better than an apocalyptic physical approach, isn't it?

He decided to lend a hand to the Light Church, winning over popular sentiment.

Outside the World Wall, in the sky above, he sent a killing consciousness wave to the earthly kingdom:

"Because of the believers, there won't be an apocalypse this time."

"If the earthly people continue to be stubborn, the earthly beings will face annihilation once again."

Li Qing picked up his clothes, tossed out harsh words, turned around, and left, that final icy voice like the eternally suspended sky, indifferent and unfeeling:

"Atabians, you don't have much time to decide."

"The final judgment day is coming."

...

...

After stepping out, it was already dark.

Tiny points of stars dotted the sky.

In the neighborhood, he saw some elderly ladies walking, unaware that right next to them was a room where a civilization was being nurtured in the ocean.

Li Qing thought for a moment and decided to buy some cameras outside.

He wandered around and found the highest definition ones to be ridiculously expensive, splurged on two, and practically depleted his savings.

Li Qing felt somewhat uncomfortable at heart.

Renting this place, decorating some furniture casually, going to the gym, and specifically dealing with this laboratory civilization had been less costly than those two cameras over the past few days.

After all, the ultraviolet equipment was borrowed.

But the effect Li Qing was satisfied with, the camera quality is truly high definition, even the ants on the leaves can be captured, deserving of comparison to HD cameras. Never underestimate human technology, some lenses at a certain distance have resolution so high, even mosquito tentacles on the leaves are clearly seen.

And he planned to set up the camera opposite the glass, watching them closely. (Don't ask, just use the parallel universe, ultra HD camera, capturing the ant's details.)

"Mainly to observe that Tower of Babel."

At night, nine o'clock, Li Qing bought and returned to the house to work overtime, directly mounting the cameras.

"The Evil God is casting a Curse Technique!"

"Such a grand casting prelude?"

"Damn, is this the apocalyptic weapon of Judgment Day?"

They anxiously watching the camera aimed at them, fearing it might spew out evil energy at any moment, capable of destroying their civilization.

This is a Judgment Day weapon!

Even some researchers suspected of being Church spies studied it a while, dramatically claiming: This is an apocalyptic death-ray cannon!

Moreover, various rumors were deliberately released.

The entire world became fearful and uneasy.

Even secretly joining the Church, believing in the Lord, praying for redemption and forgiveness increased.

"So troublesome." Li Qing spat softly and ignored it, after setting up the cameras, turning on his phone, found the connection normal, and captured satisfactory images of the mite-sized creatures inside, then directly left.

...

The next morning.

Li Qing woke up, brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, then recalled his account balance.

Indulging these past days, the money he had was about to be spent.

Li Qing finally started pondering ways to make money.

"The best way is by treating wealthy cancer patients, such things like cancer cells, most cancer is easily dispatched as long as it doesn't metastasize, with a army sent in we could prosper easily."

"But my Light Church army is inside assassinating the Emperor, with no time to execute the God of Light's task of external demon beast eradication."

Once it's really managed in the future, the first thing will be to help Susan's girlfriend with stomach cancer treatment, after all, she is quite wealthy.

Just, during the treatment, hiding my identity, I will pose as a God Stick.

But clearly now isn't the time to dwell on such matters, the technology for cancer treatment is still far-reaching, and I'm about to starve.
