Auspicious white clouds continued their journey northward.
Beyond the Desert Waterfall, Yang Qinglan had also obtained information booklets from countless corpses.
Of various kinds, just the Fearless Light Army alone came from five different places, the records detailing their movements over the past three days, the routes to reach different areas, all clearly written.
Moreover.
"So many people are coming to catch us," Li Qianxia read the booklet as if it were a novel, thoroughly engrossed.
"There is no point in clashing with these people," Yang Qinglan's voice was calm and indifferent as she quickly flipped through the booklets, increasing her knowledge.
With extensive knowledge, one has many ways to deal with situations, and naturally, "ability" increases.
Yafeiluna, who was controlling the Cloud Platform, also said, "Whether it's eliminating 60% of communicable life forms or finding Divine Artifacts, only fight with masters when absolutely necessary."
"If possible, I don't even want to confront ordinary people," Li Qianxia glanced at Li Changzhou, who remained silent, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Cultivating."
Li Changzhou was holding "Summer."
But no matter how he tried to sense it, even when using [Divine Body] to absorb the energy from "Summer," there was no response.
Even entering the state of an infant with no thoughts or worries, comprehending 'the strong bully the weak,' he still gained nothing.
"Is the approach wrong, or am I simply not skilled enough?" he muttered to himself.
"Definitely a lack of skill," Yafeiluna leaned on a couch made of clouds, "How could you, a player who's not even an Immortal and can only maintain [Divine Body] for a few seconds, possibly comprehend a Divine Artifact."
"That's true, but as the person Li Changzhou, not comprehending even a little seems abnormal, doesn't it?"
Yafeiluna looked up from the booklet with a 'are you serious' expression.
"You'll get used to it," Li Qianxia sighed.
His sister continued to flip through the booklets, murmuring, "My brother never says he's handsome; he just thinks it's natural for all women to like him."
"As handsome as he should be," Yang Qinglan pursed her lips and lightly chuckled, nodding, whether in affirmation or in jest was unclear.
Yafeiluna observed Li Changzhou as if seeing a sullen monkey sitting by a roadside stall, one hand holding a beer, the other clutching a cigarette, occasionally popping a peanut into its mouth.
Soda Crackers, Little Wǔ (Xiao Wu), and Yafeiluna also stole glances, feeling that there was nothing wrong, indeed all women should like Li Changzhou.
"This is me, that's her," Little Turnip squatted, shaping figures from the clouds as if talking to someone.
Li Changzhou ignored them.
He then considered the titles of the deities.
King of Wind and Light—
Wind, a natural phenomenon caused by air flow; hot air rises, and cool, low temperature air flows in horizontally. The rising air becomes heavy as it cools and descends, while the land's surface, being warmer, heats the air causing it to rise again, creating wind.
Light is produced in three ways: the first kind comes from thermal effects...
Still, he had no new insights.
Li Changzhou's thoughts turned back to the most fundamental level, the structure of this planet.
East Spring, South Summer, West Autumn, North Winter.
The center, influenced by spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and lacking a bead like "Summer" to absorb energy, springtime's vigor would persist, resulting in an abundance of wood energy, which naturally turns into fire, which is to say summer, and summer into autumn...
According to the Five Elements, the center must be earth, anything other than earth and the planet wouldn't be stable.
Does earth encompass the other elements?
Finally, Li Changzhou had an idea.
Previously, to use 'Five Elements Inhibition', he had to activate the elements one by one, such as recently becoming [Divine Body], with the bell sounding four times to stir up five times the Fire Energy.
If... if he could collide all Five Elements at once and then release them?
Li Changzhou spread his left hand, and a badge of apricot-yellow Earth Qi unfolded; then he summoned equal amounts of metal, wood, water, and fire, slamming them all together at once.
Bang!
A terrifying cyclone formed in the palm of his hand.
Everyone on the Cloud Platform felt a stinging on their faces as if being sliced by knives.
Shh! Soda Crackers' pants tore at the knee, shredded by the cyclone.
When the Five Elements combined, they either returned to Yin Yang or split into all things. At this moment, it was the most chaotic state of splitting, the Five Elements becoming wind.
If they could become wind, could they also become rain, snow, thunder, clouds?
Li Changzhou briefly became distracted, closing his palm, and extinguishing the considerable force of the cyclone with the power of his flesh alone.
The randomness was too great, and the power too overwhelming; he couldn't control it himself, which was not the purpose of his experiment.
He spread his hand again, the apricot-yellow Earth Qi unfolding, with metal, wood, water, and fire slamming against it again, the difference this time being the combined volume of the other four elements equaled that of the Earth Qi.
He could control it!
Li Changzhou felt clearly that when metal, wood, water, and fire were not overly strong, Earth Qi could encompass all, and he could slightly guide the transformation of the Five Elements.
The simplest guidance, but it was enough.
He raised his hand and sent out a strike, the Five Elements colliding in a massive explosion.
In just an instant, the Five Elements completed their inhibition.
An almost tangible red light, carrying the wild heat of the waves, sliced out like a knife.
The red light raged to the extreme, for the Qi of the Five Elements kept colliding, creating an unending stream of Fire Energy.
A fiery roar sounded, just as the Cloud Platform happened to pass over a sand dune, and the red light cut down into it, leaving a charred trench three meters deep and more than ten meters long.
