Chen Xinjie said, “Tang Sect’s soul technology is the most advanced out of the entire Federation. I think it’s doable.”

Yu Guanzhi nodded as well.

By the time Ling Zichen was brought to the command post, the preparatory works were already in order. The people engaged in their discussions again.

Upon seeing Tang Wulin and her arrival, Yu Guanzhi went straight to the point and said, “Our plan is as follows. We will be launching a batch of rank-9 fixed soul ammunitions again to weaken the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. At the same time, we’ll use the explosive power of the rank-9 fixed soul ammunitions to mask the Eternal Heaven’s aura. The final step of Operation Eternal Heaven is to enhance the intensive bombardment before causing an explosion.”

Tang Wulin was about to nod when Ling Zichen who was by his side said, “It’s useless.”

Her remarks immediately drew the attention of the numerous moguls on the scene.

Actually, Yu Guanzhi took her presence lightly when he saw the person brought in by Tang Wulin was a beautiful woman. Ling Zichen was much too young. Although she was almost thirty years old, she only appeared to be over twenty years of age.

Upon hearing her remarks, he could not help frowning and asked, “Oh, who’s this?”

Tang Wulin said, “She is Tang Sect’s soul weapon research center’s director, Miss Ling Zichen.”

Ling Zichen rolled her eyes at him. “You’re the lady. You can address me as Director Ling.”

Yu Guanzhi was stunned for a moment. He suppressed his emotions and said, “So what do you propose, Director Ling?”

Ling Zichen walked to the front of the console table. “Your plan is utterly useless. Do you think that the Eternal Heaven’s aura can be masked by other soul weapons? This is simply naive. What do you think the Eternal Heaven is?”

Yu Guanzhi raised one brow in surprise. He held a respectable position so no one had ever spoken to him in such a curt manner, not even the Western Army Corps’ regimental commander.

Cao Dezhi glared at Ling Zichen. “Zichen, please speak properly. Don’t be rude.”

Ling Zichen scoffed once and said, “I’m telling the truth. All of you should know the origin of the Eternal Heaven. However, it looks like I’m the only person who truly understands its power. The Eternal Heaven doesn’t need any preparatory work actually. Once it has locked onto its target, there is nothing else that can stop it from unleashing itself. In simple terms, the Eternal Heaven is enough to destroy the entire northernmost core area. It’s utterly impossible for the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array to stop the Eternal Heaven’s terrifying power.”

Upon listening to her remarks, the people on the scene could not help feeling shocked.

It could destroy the entire northernmost core area?

The northernmost core area was a large expanse of land. It was way larger than the old Shrek City.

Ling Zichen said in a deep voice, “You don’t believe? Let me put it this way. Consider the two explosives which were dropped on Shrek City in the past. Multiply their powers a few times, then increase their combined powers three fold. It’ll be almost equal to the power of the Eternal Heaven. What you need to worry about is not whether the explosion will destroy the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array, but whether it’ll result in the tectonic movement of the northernmost core area, destroy the ice sheet over a thousand kilometers thick and cause the sea level to rise and flood the continent on the entire Douluo Planet.”

“Huh?”

There were four Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouses on the scene including Tang Wulin. Yet, none of them expected Ling Zichen to bring up this issue.

Ling Zichen raised an eyebrow. “Still don’t believe it? The ice sheet of Thule comprises eighty percent of the freshwater on the entire Douluo Planet. In addition, the high heat produced from the Eternal Heaven’s explosion is enough to melt a third of the ice sheet, at the very least, according to my calculations. Consequently, the sea levels will rise all over the planet. By then, defeating the abyssal plane will be the least of our worries. I’m afraid the entire continent, and even the Star Luo Continent and the Dou Spirit Continent in the distance will be hit by tsunamis. There’s no way to calculate the extent of the losses. So, it’s absolutely a foolish choice to utilize the Eternal Heaven. It’s not a weapon, but a catastrophe.”

Tang Wulin drew in a cold breath. Every single person on the scene was dumbstruck with bewilderment including Tang Wulin.

Yu Guanzhi could not help saying, “Yet, there’s utterly no way we can break the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array without utilizing the Eternal Heaven! What should we do then?”

Ling Zichen said, “This becomes a technical issue. It’s not that we can’t use the Eternal Heaven, but a matter of how we use it. If we’re really going to use it, I suggest that we only utilize a portion of its energy and confine its attack range to a certain area. Your goal is to break the array, right? It’ll do when the array is broken, right?”

Tang Wulin said, “Zichen, can you please explain in detail? How can we confine the Eternal Heaven’s power to a certain range?”

“Dismantle it,” said Ling Zichen like it was a trivial matter.

The numerous Limit Douluos turned pale with shock once again.

“Dismantle it?” Everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

Ling Zichen smiled calmly. “That’s right! Dismantle it. The Eternal Heaven is a huge bomb but it’s made of Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit units. If I can modify it from a megabomb to a superweapon instead, it can then be used multiple times. I don’t know how many times, but the single-use power will be relatively easier to control. At the very least, it won’t end up being a great catastrophe.”

Modify the Eternal Heaven into a superweapon?

The statement made the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi’s eyes lit up.

If it was possible, neither the Tang Sect nor Shrek Academy would lose the abominable weapon that terrorized everyone.

“Zichen, how confident are you of this?” asked Tang Wulin.

Ling Zichen said, “About eighty percent. However, the other twenty percent will be a direct explosion. Hence, all of you must be mentally prepared.”

Tang Wulin and Cao Dezhi managed to keep their cool since they knew of her temperament, while Yu Guanzhi and Chen Xinjie felt their blood pressure shoot up.

‘What do you mean by the other twenty percent will be a direct explosion when you’ve just talked about the consequences of the explosion earlier?’

Ling Zichen shrugged and said, “I suggest you send me to the other side of the Bloodriver Array. If my modification fails, it’ll explode anyhow. It’ll be enough to destroy the array. However, the impact of the explosion over here will be milder.”

Yu Guanzhi looked toward Chen Xinjie. They stood gazing at one another.

Chen Xinjie said, “If the explosion were to really cause the sea levels to rise, how bad will the consequences be?”

Ling Zichen said, “I don’t know. It should not be an issue for the high altitude areas but the low-lying areas will most likely be flooded. It’ll be better to consult the Federation on this matter. You need to take precautions and evacuate the people as soon as possible.”

Yu Guanzhi was getting confused in the meantime. ‘Consult the Federation? Do you think it’s that easy? If the public were to learn about the real situation, the entire continent will be in a panic!’

Both Yu Guanzhi and Chen Xinjie were under the assumption that the Eternal Heaven could be utilized straight away, yet they did not expect that the utilization of this superweapon would have such serious implications.

If the location was not in Thule, it would not result in the rise of the sea levels at the very least. Nonetheless, what should they do now?

Ling Zichen said, “Don’t think that you’ll be able to use it just because you’re somewhere else. The Eternal Heaven’s explosive force is enough to cause any location misery and suffering. The extent of its explosive range is unimaginable. Moreover, it’ll have a lasting destructive influence even. It’s possible that the explosion will cause tectonic movements. For example, if you were to toss it into a volcano, it’s highly probable the volcano will turn into an unpredictable apocalyptic scenario. Actually, using it in Thule is perhaps the best possible situation. After all, this place is deserted. That’s all I’ve to say. You must make your decision as soon as possible. Would you like me to modify the Eternal Heaven now?”

Tang Wulin asked, “Is there really no other way then?”
