Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

This night.

Those who paid attention to the outcome of this battle included not only various dojos, companies, academies, and even the Military Department, but also some "rats" lurking in the shadow of the Four Guardian Stars, with their crimson eyes wide open.

"The results are in. The winner is Ji Jingqiu. Unexpectedly, even the direct descendants of the Mu Family are no match for him. This young man is indeed extraordinarily talented."

A hoarse voice echoed in the room.

"I propose that we start the plan ahead of schedule tonight."

"Act tonight? Wasn't the original plan to wait another week?" someone hesitated.

"Tonight is the perfect opportunity! Even if we forcibly elevate his inspiration, Hel can only meet him in his dreams. But as you've seen recently, this young man's self-discipline is frightening. Twenty-four hours a day, he only rests for two or three hours and hardly sleeps!"

"Indeed, tonight he has triumphed over many heroes. It's his moment of youthful success. After the battle, he will surely fall into a deep sleep with his fellow martial artists and indulge himself. This is the best moment for us to act."

"If we act a week earlier… we might expose ourselves."

"Can't you all sacrifice yourself for the sect?"

"…Just afraid that even with the sacrifice, the plan wouldn't succeed. Recently, Hel's influence has been fading, likely entering a dormant state."

"Everyone, let's cultivate Ji Jingqiu's 'inspiration' and I will awaken Hel," said the first man who spoke deeply.

"Awaken Hel?!"

Everyone in the dark fell silent, this would mean sacrificing themselves, and thereafter forever becoming the puppet of that Dream God...

Truly the madness of the Moro Sect.

"Why so urgent all of a sudden?" someone suddenly questioned, "Didn't you say last time that even if Ji Jingqiu fails, there was a backup project?"

The man calmly said: "The sect has issued a new directive, to destroy Ji Jingqiu at all costs. This is the best opportunity, killing two birds with one stone. Hel can obtain the coordinates, and the Federation will lose one of its top martial arts geniuses."

The crowd frowned. Why would the Moro Sect suddenly issue such an order?

The last time Moro Sect issued such an order, it was to destroy a genius martial artist from some generation of the Mu Family...

…

Deep Red Laboratory.

Tonight, Ning Fengyuan couldn't afford to concern himself with the battle situation of Mu Juncheng.

He frowned and asked, "I remember it has never been dormant for so long. Isn't it afraid of never waking up?"

Hel's radiation reforms the rules of this planet, not voluntarily offering the Federation a ground for advancing martial arts talents.

It was compelled.

The biggest flaw of Thought of All Living Beings Integration is that it cannot leave "the thoughts of all living beings," which are both its chains and anchor.

Hel, unlike the Integrations produced by the Federation, still follows some iron rules of this world.

After being forcibly stripped of the Origin from deep in the wilderness, Hel lost most of its anchors, but everyone on this planet who uses its power can be considered as one of its anchors.

The Federation ensures by strictly controlling the numbers, that Hel is always maintained in a controllable state.

But since last week, Hel has been in an "autistic" state, continuing till now without recovery.

Different from Ning Fengyuan, Dr. Chen was not the slightest bit worried, but rather full of interest. He fears stagnation, not changes. The changes in Hel could lead them to uncover more secrets.

"I have a premonition that the reason for its autism this time may be due to a fatal threat to it," Dr. Chen generously shared his intuition with Ning Fengyuan.

Ning Fengyuan looked seriously at this junior.

In his timeline, Chen Haisheng was just a minuscule junior. From this perspective, Chen Haisheng was no different from Ji Jingqiu and others in his eyes.

But the height of a person is oftentimes not determined by time, but by the extent of their capabilities.

Dr. Chen's level of thinking, in any field apart from Martial Arts, completely surpasses his, even in matters of human emotions and relationships.

This man is a true genius, and it is precisely for this reason that he has firmly held the reins of the Deep Red Laboratory for thirty years without change.

And now, such a scientific genius, discussing intuitions with him, is somewhat a marvelous affair.

A lethal threat?

There shouldn't be such a thing in this world that could pose a lethal threat to one of the Four Demons, Dream Demon.

Dr. Chen suddenly said, "Elder Ning, do you think Ji Jingqiu could join the 'Deep Red Alpha Plan'?"

Ning Fengyuan first furrowed his brow, then smoothed it out and said, "Why do you think of letting him join this project? Give me a reason."

The Deep Red Alpha Plan is a deep development initiative by the Deep Red Laboratory on artificial intelligence Dream God, aiming to utilize the computational power of Dream God to help martial artists calculate the path following Cultivation Body perfection.

To be precise, after some martial artists use various methods to push their Cultivation Body to 90%, they encounter a situation where it becomes difficult to progress further.

The Deep Red Alpha Plan is developed to help martial artists go beyond perfection after achieving it with their Cultivation Bodies.

"Just a spontaneous thought," Dr. Chen shrugged, "If you think it's not appropriate, just pretend I didn't say it."

Ning Fengyuan shook his head without hesitation: "Ji Jingqiu doesn't need it. His innate compatibility with the Formless Dao Body exceeds 95%, and it's not difficult for him to reach 99.9% in the future, no need to take risks."

"What about 100%?" Dr. Chen raised an eyebrow, "Or even 100.1%?"

Ning Fengyuan glanced at him, "That's not something your AI system can achieve. If it really does happen, it would mean Ji Jingqiu has become like that boy Zhuang Butong."

Dr. Chen understood his meaning and said regretfully, "Alright then."

Actually, he didn't have a real reason; he just thought that the day Ji Jingqiu arrived, Hel fell into autism, and these two incidents seemed to be connected.

Suddenly,

Ning Fengyuan's expression subtly changed.

On the other side, a researcher in front of the monitoring equipment exclaimed excitedly,

"Boss! Hel's depth index is rising! The rise is slow, but it is indeed increasing! Wait a moment..."

"Shh, boss, trouble's coming, the current rising curve matches the 'Summoning Law', someone is forcibly awakening Hel!"

"Should we initiate the suppression program?"

Dr. Chen thoughtfully looked at Ning Fengyuan and said, "It's trouble for you to go, Elder Ning. It seems those insects have grasped some means that can interfere with Hel, whether it's a ritual or sacrifice? Whichever it is, please retrieve it for me, I am very interested."

Ning Fengyuan nodded indifferently.

As a Grandmaster, as long as he wished, no anomaly on this planet could escape his perception.

...

The banquet hall was already littered with people passed out drunk, each being escorted to their rooms by attendants.

Ji Jingqiu was no exception.

At this very moment.

He lay on the bed, sleeping soundly – since he started practicing martial arts, he had hardly ever slept so deeply, almost always recovering rapidly through deep sleep.

So this night, he had a rare and beautiful dream.

In the dream, a familiar woman appeared before him with a pale and iron-clad face, asking him why he kept pestering and if he would only be satisfied if everyone died together?

Ji Jingqiu was utterly confused.
