Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System

Urgent alarms continuously echoed throughout the hall.

The staff responsible for monitoring the operation all wore tense expressions.

"Manager Sofian, we’ve lost connection with the transmission coordinates. At the moment, we cannot send reinforcements..."

Smack!

Sofian, dressed in a gray skin-tight combat suit that perfectly outlined her figure and impossibly long legs, suddenly leaned forward and slammed both palms onto the control panel.

"Idiot!"

"That’s Void Law! Void Law!"

"How can someone wield Void Law while the company database contains absolutely no information about them!?"

"Ah... this..."

The staff member hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The System failed to detect any matching data for this individual. Their core likely isn’t a product manufactured by our company..."

"I... I’ll immediately submit a request to retrieve classified data and identify this person’s identity and core model within three minutes."

Only after hearing this did Sofian’s expression ease slightly.

"Change the operational objective."

"The priority of capturing the Divine Hall is now lowered."

"Immediately dispatch an advance team to Qingxuan Realm."

"I don’t care what methods you use. That core capable of wielding Void Law must appear inside the headquarters research laboratory within three days."

"Yes!"

The staff member immediately responded loudly as the entire command center descended into frantic activity.

...

Hiss~

Qin Mu retreated far away from the Divine Hall’s territory and did not dare stop until the Blood-Red Divine Palace completely disappeared from sight.

"That was close."

"The cyber clone’s use of Laws is clearly different from that of ordinary lifeforms. Even Void Law lost more than ninety percent of its effectiveness."

"If I had reacted even a little slower just now, Bei Qi would have definitely trapped me inside the Divine Hall."

Qin Mu felt lingering fear in his heart.

Being trapped inside a universe-grade supreme treasure was far more terrifying than death itself.

He wasn’t afraid of dying.

He was afraid of becoming unable to die.

Who knew whether the Blood Red Sect’s Divine Hall possessed terrifying Soul techniques or methods capable of corrupting or breaking through the protection of the Heart of Eternity?

A universe-grade supreme treasure with completely unknown abilities was simply too dangerous.

Beside him, Lilia looked utterly exhausted.

Her expression had already become somewhat vacant and lifeless.

"Rake... Captain and the others... are they doomed?"

Qin Mu sighed inwardly.

Damn it.

He had barely escaped alive himself. How could he still have the ability to think about rescuing others?

"Hard to say."

"After all, the Cyber Immortal is still an Immortal. Behind him stands Araki Company. Nothing should happen to him that quickly."

Lilia immediately raised her head, her eyes filled with hope.

"Really? Really!?"

"Will Araki Company truly try to save the Captain?"

"Right! Right, right, right!"

"You’re a rich second-generation heir from Araki Company. As long as you speak, even the Divine War Great Hammer should obey your commands..."

Qin Mu remained silent.

Not to mention that he wasn’t actually from Araki Company.

Even if he truly were, it would still be impossible for an Immortal to abandon a universe-grade supreme treasure just to save an ordinary person.

If cyber civilization were truly so noble and righteous, then why had they allowed Bei Qi to continue conducting blood sacrifices for so many years?

The true situation...

Even Qin Mu found it difficult to fully guess.

However, one thing was certain.

Araki Company definitely knew about Lilia’s team mission beforehand and had secretly installed additional monitoring methods long ago.

Lilia and her team were most likely nothing more than bait.

The purpose was to hide among them quietly and wait for Bei Qi to perform the blood sacrifice, thereby exposing clues related to the legendary Divine Hall.

"Universe-grade supreme treasure... the Blood-Red Divine Palace."

"This time, even if I have to sacrifice the Flame Heart Spirit, I must personally test its power first."

Qin Mu was truly envious of the power possessed by universe-grade supreme treasures.

Bei Qi alone only possessed Star Realm cultivation, yet he dared to openly scheme against both the Metaverse Company and Araki Company.

He dared to confront Immortals.

He even dared to compete against true Gods.

The repair level of the Divine Hall was definitely not merely the thirty percent he had previously claimed. It was highly likely that it was already close to complete restoration.

And even if it wasn’t fully restored, it didn’t matter much anymore.

Because the terrifying abilities displayed by the Divine Hall were already shocking enough.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Qian Wuyou, President of the Qingxuan Branch of Cosmic Bank, personally arrived through transmission with God Realm cultivation and escorted the purchased goods in person.

"Thank you."

Qin Mu was extremely satisfied with the bank’s efficiency.

From the Qingxuan Realm headquarters to this unfamiliar planet, the entire delivery process had taken less than a minute.

Using a God Realm powerhouse as a delivery worker...

What more could possibly be said about such service?

"Haha, it is only natural."

"Respected Mr. Rake, your total deposits and consumption within this bank are now only a few billion away from reaching Four-Star status. If you can achieve that within this world origin era, the bank will also provide you with an exclusive premium gift package."

Damn.

Even now, they still didn’t forget to advertise.

"Alright, I understand."

Qin Mu did not waste words.

After all, if he had money, why wouldn’t he spend it?

The real issue was that he simply didn’t have enough.

After watching the other party leave through transmission, Qin Mu piloted the Thunder Dragon battleship deep into the Universe.

"First step."

"Raise the Flame Heart Spirit to maximum Rank."

Sizzle... sizzle...

The little Flame Heart Spirit had already become restless after seeing the enormous amount of fire-element energy surrounding it.

"Eat. It’s all yours."

Qin Mu rubbed the little fellow’s flaming head while silently praying inwardly.

Just don’t explode.

"So luxurious."

"Even when I cultivated my own Clones back then, I was never treated this extravagantly."

Ao Mengmeng spoke with visible excitement.

"Upgrading the Flame Heart Spirit’s Rank won’t be difficult. The real challenge lies in achieving apotheosis."

"Special lifeforms possess innate Laws, which is naturally an advantage."

"But it also leads to extremely difficult advancement paths."

"Ordinary cultivators first open up a private Domain, then continuously expand their inner world, and finally ascend to godhood. Their world evolves into a Divine Kingdom, their bodies transform into pure energy, and their Souls undergo Fusion and complete metamorphosis."

Qin Mu naturally understood all of this.

The Flame Heart Spirit itself was already a pure energy lifeform.

It possessed neither a private Domain nor an internal world.

Therefore, it had to directly begin with constructing a Divine Kingdom from scratch.

One only needed to think briefly to realize how absurdly difficult that would be.

"Heh. Isn’t this exactly where my value comes in~?"

Ao Mengmeng confidently patted her chest.

"First, arrange the Star Heart Core as the World Foundation Formation."

"Use the Fallen Heart Flame as the central core."

"As for the Thousand Realms Ancient Wutong Tree, since it cannot be divided, it must also remain at the core."

"However, those two materials naturally conflict with one another. If both appear within the core simultaneously, either the materials themselves will be damaged or the entire Formation will collapse."

"So the timing must be controlled perfectly."

Supported by the massive amount of energy being absorbed, the Flame Heart Spirit’s Rank rapidly climbed upward, seemingly about to reach Rank Ninety-Nine.

Ao Mengmeng rolled up her sleeves enthusiastically.

"Next, watch my performance!"

"Isn’t it just helping this little thing construct a primitive world? Easy!"

"I’ve personally built at least eight thousand worlds in my life. Maybe even ten thousand."

"I guarantee this little thing will obtain a Divine Kingdom spanning at least one light-year."

Hiss...

Constructing a world.

Building the foundation of a Divine Kingdom.

Actually, Qin Mu himself was not unfamiliar with such things.

After all, the Qing Feng Sword Art contained an enormous amount of experience regarding world creation and apotheosis.

It was just that Qin Mu had never personally attempted it before.

"I’ll do it myself."

"Huh?"

Ao Mengmeng instantly turned around and stared at him with eyes filled with doubt.

"My Master, this is professional work. Please leave it to a professional, alright?"

"You must understand that constructing a world absolutely cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake."

"Heh."

Qin Mu spoke calmly.

"It’s my money being spent, so why are you getting anxious? Stand aside."

"Ugh~!!!"

Ao Mengmeng instantly felt as though her entire Dragon Life had lost its value.

She secretly grumbled inwardly.

"Hmph~ If you want to waste it, then go ahead and waste it. But if it fails later, don’t come begging Mengmeng for help~"

In just a short moment, the Flame Heart Spirit reached the maximum Law Rank.

Fire Element.

Ninety-nine layers.

The absolute limit of the Star Realm.

"Hmm... no private Domain."

"That means I’ll need to directly use fire-element energy to construct a world."

A thought flashed through Qin Mu’s mind.

"No wonder the Star Heart Core is required."

"This thing contains the complete essence of a planet. Matter, elemental energy, and even fragments of Laws are all compressed directly from actual Universe planets."

With this, the material foundation for constructing a world was complete.

The remaining process depended entirely on the apotheosis practitioner’s understanding of space.

First unfold the Star Heart Core within real space.

Then use it to construct the framework of Laws and the prototype of the world itself.

"This apotheosis process requires transforming the Flame Heart Spirit into a Fallen Star Flame body while using the Thousand Realms Ancient Wutong Tree as support."

"Wood generates fire."

"The Five Elements themselves are not the issue."

"The real problem lies in timing."

"If the timing is even slightly incorrect, the entire world will collapse instantly."

Qin Mu slowly closed his eyes.

"Completely understood. Full confidence."

His Soul fused with the Heart of Eternity, causing his thoughts to become incomparably clear and agile.

In a single instant, he had already simulated the entire process dozens of times within his consciousness.

No problems.

"Rise!"

Inside the Formation, one hundred Star Heart Cores simultaneously unfolded within the Universe.

Although they were called Star Heart Cores, they were not simply the cores of ordinary planets.

Instead, they were treasures formed by compressing massive quantities of planetary matter together.

Otherwise, even if a God Realm powerhouse personally refined an ordinary lifeless planet, it would never be worth eighteen million energy stones.

At the same time, Qin Mu directly threw the Flame Heart Spirit into the Formation.

Along with it, he also tossed in the Thousand Realms Ancient Wutong Tree.

"Master, the timing is wrong! It’s too early~!!"

Ao Mengmeng immediately panicked.

If the Ancient Wutong Tree entered before the Formation fully opened and before the world stabilized, it would be instantly burned into ashes.

"And activating one hundred Star Heart Cores simultaneously is far too reckless. You won’t be able to control them at all..."

Then, in the very next moment.

Metal.

Wood.

Water.

Fire.

Earth.

The Five Elements simultaneously emerged inside the Formation.

Light illuminated the darkness of the Universe out of nowhere.

Thunder roared violently within the Formation.

Darkness spread like a shadow, pulling the matter contained within the Star Heart Cores together to construct the world’s foundation.

"Hiss~?"

"A complete elemental world..."

At this moment, Ao Mengmeng finally understood why Qin Mu insisted on personally carrying out the process.

Idiot Dragon.

I really am an idiot Dragon.

Qin Mu possessed the All-Element Domain.

That meant the world he created would naturally be the most perfect possible existence.

No constructed world could ever surpass one personally built by someone who completely comprehended all elemental Laws.

When ordinary people created worlds, they merely imitated the structure of the Universe.

And even then, due to insufficient understanding and skill, most of them copied it incorrectly.

But Qin Mu was different.

He completely understood the All-Element Laws and thoroughly comprehended the foundational structure of worlds themselves.

One side merely copied.

The other side truly understood.

How could the two possibly be compared?
