Chapter 418
"I am Groot!"
"Rocket Raccoon, where's your fur? Where did all your fur and eyebrows go!"
"Wuwuwu, I'm bald! It was Tang Bapi, no, Tang the Hair-Plucker who did it!"
Around a corner in the silver-white passageway, a hedgehog standing upright, a white ferret with pure white fur, a red fox, and Groot surrounded Rocket Raccoon, comforting the crying and anxious Rocket Raccoon.
People continuously passed through this passageway. From time to time, Iron Soldiers would escort Researchers and Experiment Subjects from the Peak Spaceship as they passed.
As for the Peak Spaceship, comparable in size to the Moon, now that it was in his hands, Boss Tang naturally wouldn't let it go. He simply opened a Space Gate and transferred a contingent of personnel from Earth to take over the Spaceship.
Although the Peak Spaceship was massive, since most of its functions could be taken over by artificial intelligence, after Red Queen took over the main control of the Spaceship, Tang Song transferred fewer than twenty thousand people to take over this Moon-sized Spaceship.
Of course, the massive number of Iron Soldiers also contributed significantly.
Currently, within Tang Group, thanks to the widespread adoption of Arc Reactors,
Compared to Sentinel robots, Iron Soldiers, which cost dozens of times less, have become Tang Group's cheapest and currently most numerous Legion.
Iron Soldiers can be seen everywhere: on patrol and defense duties in various Branch Companies and Mines within Tang Group, maintaining stability at Extraterrestrial Bases, and participating in military assaults and combat.
Within the twelve large Military Factories under Tang Group's Weapons Manufacturing Department, there are nearly fifty production lines for Iron Soldiers. Once mass production is needed... these production lines, operating at full capacity, can churn out tens of thousands of Iron Soldiers in a single day. As time progresses and the production lines expand, the speed of mass-producing Iron Soldiers will increase exponentially.
With over a dozen Abyss Worlds and Underworlds under his control, plus the dozens of Mining Planets controlled by Tang Group, there is absolutely no shortage of steel alloy materials for producing Iron Soldiers.
According to Ivan Vanko's design, the only constraint on Iron Soldier output, the Arc Reactor, can be completely replaced by Energy Crystal Stones during wartime. One Energy Crystal Stone is enough to support an Iron Soldier operating at full power combat for forty-eight hours.
In Tang Group's Energy Reserve located in the Underworld, the reserve of Energy Crystal Stones is enough to equip hundreds of thousands of Iron Soldiers.
And in the Secret Vault of the Thirty-Six Heavens of the Heavenly Court, the Energy Crystal Stones Tang Song extracted using the power of the Space Gem are countless... Some Energy Crystal Stones were even directly cut and used as paving stones. This wasn't due to Boss Tang's nouveau riche mentality; during the construction of the Heavenly Court, some important places required Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to serve as Formation Cores, which are Energy Nodes...
Tang Song utilized the power of the Space Gem to absorb the power of space from countless Dimensional Spaces, solidifying it into crystals to serve as substitutes.
It can be said that if mass production were truly needed, under the command of Red Queen's Skynet System, a massive amount of Iron Soldiers would be enough to level a Tier 2 civilization.
Currently, there are thirty thousand Iron Soldiers inside the Peak Spaceship.
Under Red Queen's command, these Iron Soldiers began clearing the entire Peak Spaceship, disarming the armed resistance forces within.
They controlled the important Compartments and Laboratories within the Spaceship, detained the Experimenters who served the High Evolutionary for review, and assisted Tang Group's internal personnel in conducting a supplies inventory of the Spaceship. As two Iron Soldiers with eyes glowing red escorted a team of Sovereign Experimenters past this passageway.
Although the Sovereign Experimenters wearing white coats were being pointed at by the thick energy guns of the Iron Soldiers, they couldn't help but look at Rocket Raccoon as they passed him.
After all, a completely bald Rocket Raccoon with a Mediterranean hairstyle was truly rare, and this Rocket Raccoon even had his eyebrows shaved off...
His bare brow ridges looked particularly hilarious.
"Ah!..."
Seeing the surprised and suppressed laughter on the faces of the people passing by.
Rocket Raccoon couldn't help but let out a scream like a groundhog.
"Tang Bapi, *%#**%..."
*Buzz...*
Just as Rocket Raccoon was cursing vigorously, a nimble silver light stopped in front of him...
The silver light flickered, and the bone-chilling cold made Rocket Raccoon shrink his neck. The next moment, a strand of fur from his arm fell...
"Run!"
The fiery red fox suddenly grabbed Rocket Raccoon's hand and took off running.
Groot, the little hedgehog, and the white ferret followed closely behind...
A streak of silver light chased relentlessly behind them, accompanied by the wailing of the little guys and various colored fur flying everywhere...
Listening to the faint sounds of Rocket Raccoon and his companions bickering coming from outside the compartment door, Tang Song's mouth curved into a mischievous smile. Tang Song glanced at the High Evolutionary's head soaking in nutrient fluid.
He lifted his foot and stepped into the Small World.
Within the Small World, the tornado formed by the Five Yin Black Fiend was still continuously devouring and decomposing the insectoid flesh and blood from another universe.
The Way of Heaven takes from what has excess and gives to what is insufficient; all things in the world must abide by the law of conservation of energy.
Even the universe is like this.
Tang Song continuously transported matter from the Marvel Universe and another world to open up his own world!
However, this kind of thieving behavior is very much in line with the true meaning of cultivating the Dao! As long as Saints exist, Great Thieves will not cease! What is called cultivation is the process of continuously stealing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish oneself. Once a cultivator embarks on the path of cultivation, absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy is stealing the origin of Heaven and Earth.
Even the high and mighty Divine Beings in the Jambudvīpa World are no exception. It's just that at their cultivation base, it can no longer be described as petty theft or "stealing."
They are truly Great Thieves who have entered the inner hall.
Dao Venerable's saying of Body Merging with Heavenly Dao, while it sounds good, it makes more sense to say it's like a dove occupying the magpie's nest.
Until Dao Venerable's Transcendence from the Jambudvīpa World, during that period, the poor Heavenly Dao was handled like a soft persimmon, completely lacking the dignity of the Heavenly Father.
That period was also the peak period of the Ancient Heavenly Court. It is said that the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court had an unspeakable relationship with Dao Venerable.
With someone backing them, the Daoist Sect once became the most powerful sect in the Jambudvīpa World.
After Tang Song learned these secrets from the Yanfu World Source, he had only one thought: "A true man should be like this!"
This is also the reason why he wanted to create the Heavenly Court.
Taming the Heavenly Father, Dao Venerable did it, so why couldn't Boss Tang do it?
......
After Dao Venerable and several Heavenly Venerates of the Daoist Sect achieved Transcendence, the Ancient Heavenly Court gradually declined.
However, the Daoist Sect is still one of the only two top sects in the entire Jambudvīpa World, along with the Buddhist Sect.
As for the Transcendence of Dao Venerable, Buddha Venerable, and those Ancient Saints, in Tang Song's current view.
They clearly left the Jambudvīpa World and went to a new space to pursue a more expansive Great Dao.
This is like when Tang Song was seizing territory in New York. After he occupied a street, he would naturally set his gaze further, for example, an entire street block.
After he truly occupied several street blocks, Kingpin already had a path to death.
People with pursuits are always greedy, and even Immortals and Gods and Saints are no exception.
Mortals pursue fame and fortune, money, and power and influence.
Immortals and Gods pursue strength, longevity and immortality, and eternal and indestructible existence.
Sage Heavenly Venerable, these existences who can arbitrarily control the birth and death of the universe, recreate Heaven and Earth, and are eternal and indestructible, what they pursue is the vague and ethereal Dao that can allow them to advance further.
In the Main God Barracks, the core engraving used to manufacture Dao Soldiers is Mediate Creation, the foremost of the Thirty-Six Great Divine Abilities of the Jambudvīpa World.
That is a peak Divine Ability created by Nuwa when she created humans, possessing the power of creation, the great power that can turn inanimate objects into living beings...
And the images imprinted by the Eternal Particles also prove that among the several Unknown Existences who manufactured the Main God, there were figures suspected to be Dao Venerable.
Clearly, the appearance of the Main God cannot be unrelated to his compatriot from the Jambudvīpa World.
It's just that Tang Song is not sure if Dao Venerable was the only one among the people who manufactured the Main God, or if he was leading this matter.
Does this existence who has constantly suppressed the Jambudvīpa World for eons know that the Main God was severely injured...
Can he calculate the whereabouts of the Main God Component! Specks of golden light gathered in front of Tang Song to form a golden seed the size of a lotus seed.
Sitting cross-legged in the Void Space, Tang Song's self-awareness had never been so clear, just like a Lapis Lazuli Treasure Mirror, clearly reflecting the smallest dust particles, allowing him to see clearly many things he hadn't seen clearly before!
In Tang Song's eyes, black and white radiance was faintly visible. Above his head appeared numerous Dharma Images such as the Yin-Yang Auspicious Cloud, Taiji Diagram, Chaos Bell, and Underworld King Flag.
With the help of numerous Magic Treasures, the power of the True Form Diagram, and the convenience of being the Lord of the World in this Small World that belonged solely to him.
Tang Song saw clearly the countless faintly visible red threads and purple Qi on the Eternal Particle in front of him.
Each red thread and purple Qi was a karma thread. The number of these karma threads was so vast, like the sands of the Ganges River, innumerable.
Among them were those several thick purple Qi, like purple Qi dragons. Tang Song merely looked at them and felt his eyes sting, unable to help but shed tears profusely.
If not for the numerous Magic Treasures suppressing above his head, plus this world and the five Infinity Stones floating around his entire body shielding the perception of those existences.
Just by him looking at these karma threads, he would attract the awareness of the existence at the other end of the karma thread.
This great power, the existence at the other end of the karma thread, was at least a Great Principle level existence.
Outside of these red threads and purple Qi karma threads, there were also some karma threads the color of pure gold, also hidden in the Void Space...
From these karma threads, it could be seen that the other end of these karma threads were existences of the same origin as these Eternal Particles...
And a faint golden branch phantom split off from one of these karma threads, precisely wrapped around his body.
