Chapter 97: Preparing to Depart

“Are you really about to leave Earth soon?”

As night fell and the stars shone brilliantly, Wang Ling sat on the edge of a cliff atop a deserted mountain, resting her head against Blue Sky’s shoulder and quietly asked.

“Yes, I really have to leave...” Blue Sky paused for a moment before nodding, “It’s something I must do...”

“Why? Then what about me?” Wang Ling suddenly hugged Blue Sky tightly and whispered.

“Well... that day, to kill Yan Ze, I had to activate the flight mode of the Blaze Divine Armor to defeat him. But once the flight mode was activated, the locator on the armor was triggered. The Yuanlan Empire must have discovered the Blaze Divine Armor’s trail. I have no choice but to leave. If I don’t, Earth will be doomed...” Blue Sky explained.

“What?! So, according to you, the Yuanlan Empire will hunt you down forever?” Wang Ling’s face turned pale with shock. She had secretly blamed Blue Sky before for not caring about her at all, wondering how he could just leave like this. Now she realized the truth behind it all!

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. The locator only activates when the armor is in flight mode. I already have a plan. I believe I will return soon. Trust me.” Blue Sky gently stroked Wang Ling’s delicate face and spoke softly, “How could I ever just leave you behind like this?”

“Hmph! Who knows what you’re really thinking? Maybe you’re hoping for a romantic encounter somewhere out in space!” Wang Ling coquettishly rolled her eyes at him.

“Haha, no way. I’ll be back soon, and before I go, I’ll guide you in training. Unlike the low-level techniques used in the practice room, I’ll teach you my own cultivation method. Otherwise, how could I leave with peace of mind?” Blue Sky smiled.

“Hmph, my aptitude is excellent. Bai specially tested me. Even globally, my aptitude ranks in the upper middle tier~” Wang Ling said naively.

“Hey, to burst your bubble, even the best German on Earth would be bottom-tier in the universe.” Blue Sky shook his head with a smile.

Seeing Wang Ling’s expression darken, he hurried to console her, “But don’t lose heart. I promise to find divine medicines to improve your aptitude later.”

“Aptitude can be improved?” Wang Ling asked curiously.

“Of course. Didn’t Bai tell you before? My comprehension was good, but my aptitude was a bit low. After obtaining Yan Ze’s essence, my aptitude has directly risen to the level of a top-tier genius. That’s why I’m confident I can return soon. Geniuses like me are highly sought after in the universe, haha~” Blue Sky said proudly.

With his current reputation on Earth, even national leaders tread carefully before him. Only with someone close like Wang Ling would he reveal his childlike pride.

Of course, his words were not empty. According to Bai, with his current potential, barring accidents, achieving immortal godhood was almost certain. Once immortal, he would share the longevity of heaven and earth, never perishing. Naturally, he wanted those around him to also improve their cultivation to have a chance at immortality. Otherwise, what meaning was there in surviving alone?

“By the way, when you leave, Bai will definitely leave with you. What about the virtual network?” Wang Ling suddenly asked.

“Uh... now that you mention it, you’ve stumped me.” Blue Sky had been overwhelmed with matters lately and had overlooked this. It wasn’t until Wang Ling asked that he realized and was momentarily dumbfounded.

“Tch, Bai Lord had already thought of that a long time ago.” Bai’s hologram appeared beside them, proudly taking credit. “It’s simple. Earth’s virtual network is basically set up and just needs to run routinely. Later, you get me a few supercomputers from Earth, I’ll modify them and split the virtual network data into them.”

“Alright, no problem with that. But I want to ask something.” Blue Sky nodded without hesitation. “What exactly is... a supercomputer?”

Bai: “...Go die.”

“A supercomputer is the most powerful type of computer, with the fastest processing speed and largest storage capacity, mainly used in national high-tech fields and cutting-edge research. It represents a country’s scientific research strength, playing a crucial role in national security, economy, and social development. It’s an important symbol of a nation’s technological level and overall strength.” Bai said wearily. “Simply put, if the processing speed of an ordinary computer is like a human walking, then a supercomputer is like a rocket.”

“So, we still need to approach the top leaders, right?” After Bai’s explanation, Blue Sky had a basic understanding of supercomputers.

“Of course. Supercomputers cost hundreds of millions. For example, your country’s Tianhe-2 supercomputer cost 2.5 billion yuan. Besides the government, almost no one can afford to build one.” Bai nodded.

“Alright, this is a minor matter. As long as the virtual network can continue, I was really worried it might collapse once we left. Everyone’s cultivation can’t stop.” Blue Sky relaxed and smiled.

In the following days, Blue Sky met several times with the top leaders to discuss arrangements after his departure, starting with handing over the virtual network. Throughout the recent events, China had never disappointed Blue Sky. Naturally, he was generous and transferred all virtual network data into three supercomputers provided by the state, formally handing the virtual network company to the government.

Of course, the government promised that none of the company’s employees would be laid off, fully entrusting the management to Fan Ming. Speaking of which, Fan Ming, a loyal veteran follower of Blue Sky, benefited greatly from this, rising to head the super state enterprise with administrative rank comparable to national ministry leaders, becoming a prominent figure in all of China.

There were also some special provisions for China, such as exclusive, more advanced cultivation techniques from Bai, and some high-tech Earth technologies that could be barely applied.

After finalizing these major arrangements, Blue Sky gathered his parents, Wang Ling’s family, and Chen Xiaoxuan, guiding them in batches into his exclusive virtual game and teaching them the unique cultivation technique of the Battle God.

Bai had some reservations about so many people learning their master’s technique, but under Blue Sky’s firm insistence, it reluctantly agreed.

Having successfully forged the Azure Blood Divine Body, Blue Sky’s influence over Bai grew ever stronger.
