"Anything else?" This is such a trivial matter that it's not worth Duanmu Heng reporting to Him.
“A little over ten days ago, the Earth Mother appeared in Cangyan Ju City, and the city walls completely faded. The salt in the plains couldn’t be completely drained either,” Duanmu Heng said loudly. “I predict that the Earth Mother will return to her birthplace in at most four months, and at least two months.”
Helu Tian remained silent for a long time, then asked him only three words:
"you sure?"
Those three short words brought Duanmu Heng endless pressure.
He knew that as long as he gave a positive answer, the gods and the Heavenly Palace would mobilize massive resources and make extensive preparations around that answer.
This will undoubtedly be the largest and most important operation in the Tiangong space station in nearly two hundred years!
Conversely, if Duanmu Heng's judgment was wrong, even his own destruction would not be enough to make up for such a mistake!
However, he has been studying this for three years, so he should have confidence in himself.
Success or failure, victory or defeat, annihilation or meteoric rise—it all hinges on this one gamble.
Duanmu Heng's mind raced through his thoughts, finally settling into a calm and composed reply:
"I am sure!"
"Okay." Helu Tian said more concisely, and after saying this word, the candle ash dissipated.
It left.
Duanmu Heng opened his hand and saw that his palm was covered in sweat.
He knew that a series of plans were about to unfold. Some of these plans were known to him, and some were certainly unknown to him.
They will be interconnected, like rotating gears, working together to push all events in the direction expected by the Celestial Venerable Lingxu.

The endless sea has no fixed abode; the Spiritual Palace resides within.
After being attacked by the Nine Nether Emperor, the Spiritual Palace retained its original name, but its location had completely changed. Fewer and fewer people, both in heaven and on earth, knew its exact location.
The new place has no distinction between day and night; the daylight is almost always at the brightness of Shenshi (3-5 pm).
As Xiao Ping hurried past the herb garden, her long shadow fell over a giant carnivorous plant, which snapped shut its large pincers with a snap.
This is a plant transformed by divine blood; one clamp can break a person's arm.
Xiao Ping kept her eyes straight ahead as she walked through a damp corridor and arrived at the Tranquil Pavilion.
There was only one shrine in the pavilion, which housed several statues of gods.
She closed the doors and windows, lit incense for the shrine, took two steps back, and stood respectfully with her hands clasped.
When the solitary, straight smoke suddenly twisted, she lowered her head and said, "He Lu Tian Zun, did you look for me?"
The Lingyun Palace used to be attached to Helutian's Cloud Platform, and the interior of the Cloud Platform was Helutian's territory. This great god was always present, and she could communicate with Helutian simply by speaking, without having to go through all this trouble.
Things are very different now. Ever since He Lutian's divine status was bugged and stuck in Yanxia Bay by He Lingchuan, Yuntai has been unable to move. Without Yuntai as an intermediary, Lingyun Palace has to follow the conventional procedures to communicate with He Lutian, which is quite energy-consuming.
Helu Tian succinctly stated: "The progress of the experiment, and the state of the fragments of the Hidden God Monarch's body."
Xiao Ping took it as just another routine report. The Heavenly God was keeping a close eye on the divine body experiment, previously inquiring about the progress only once every three months, but now it had been shortened to once a month. She could understand the Holy Venerable's anxiety, but she really didn't know what new things could be reported in such a short interval. The first two inquiries had only lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, basically just going through the motions.
However, there really is something new this time.
"It went very smoothly. We have further optimized the experimental subjects that were successful six months ago. The latest batch of experimental subjects consists of thirty-seven individuals. Their bodies are stable, without deformities or mutations, and their mental age is also stable between eight and eleven years old, allowing them to have normal conversations with us, just like A-Lian back then."
After Duan Heyun was kidnapped, Xiao Ping was naturally promoted from his deputy to the head of Lingyun Palace. She understood Duan Heyun's research approach best and was a rare genius herself. In terms of both seniority and ability, she was the best successor to Duan Heyun.
“Although Master Duan is no longer here, his groundbreaking achievements have become the most important cornerstone of Lingyun Palace research. I have continued to expand along his lines of thought for three years, and we are only half a step away from success.” Xiao Ping also had many feelings to share. “There are no more substantial obstacles ahead.”
Three years ago, the research on divine bodies in the Lingyun Palace frequently resulted in various aberrations. After all, the leap from the fungal body of the Hidden God to the human body was simply too great, not to mention that humans possess complex brains and highly sensitive nerves.
Three years later, the divine bodies developed by Lingyun Palace have become stable, each one resembling a human, and the mutation rate has dropped significantly.
"The final hurdle before us is how to amplify the power that the divine body can bear," Xiao Ping said solemnly. "I already reported on this last time. The direction is clear, and it is a challenge that we will soon be able to overcome."
"I suppose Cang Yan is aware of this as well."
Since Jiuyou abducted Duan Heyun, he gained knowledge of the Lingyun Palace's experimental progress at that time, and it is not difficult to deduce what stage the current research on the divine body has reached.
Helu Tian pressed further, "How much longer until it's finished?"
"Three to five months."
"Speed up the pace," Helu Tian urged, "It's been taking too long."
Three to five months is a long time? Xiao Ping was taken aback.
This is the ultimate hurdle of the Divine Descent Plan; it's not something that can be easily overcome! Three to five months—that's already an astonishing speed.
The gods were not as impatient as they are now. It seems that the rumors she heard were somewhat true. The situation in the heavens was indeed causing the Lingxu Clan a great deal of trouble, which is why they were eager to push forward with the divine descent plan.
Regardless of what she was thinking, Helu Tiancai continued, "What about the temperament of the experimental subject?"
“Like ordinary children, some are lively, some are introverted, some are curious, and some are very destructive. This month, seven more caregivers have died for various reasons.” Xiao Ping answered truthfully. “In the past, experimental subjects had to be destroyed three months after birth, but now they must be scrapped within a month at the latest, otherwise their strength will increase faster and they will be more difficult to control as time goes on.”
Those are the bodies of future gods!
The body that God uses must be very strong. When these children get angry, few can handle them.
Helu Tian immediately said, "From now on, do not destroy any of the experimental subjects produced; prepare to put them into use."
“Yes.” Xiao Ping was slightly surprised. They’d be needed so soon? “But if this goes on for too long, I’m afraid our strength won’t be enough to control them…”
"Don't worry, we will send more troops." He Lutian suddenly fell silent after saying this.
"?" Xiao Ping had a strange premonition that He was about to say something earth-shattering.
She didn't know if Helu Tian had gone to discuss things with the other gods, and it took her a long time before she spoke:
"Take a serious estimate: with the current stockpile of Hidden God Lord fragments, how many divine bodies could be created?"
