My Bottle Cosmos

Chapter 747 692: A New Child

"With this cosmic mechanical watch, the cosmos now has a unified time; just by observing the rise and fall of the sun and moon, one can discern the passage of time."

"This could be considered the contribution of our dynasty, establishing a new temporal reference for the cosmos."

When Li Qing returned to the Ancient Tree of Origin.

His eyes, as the Light Ancient God, carried a trace of golden halo. If you looked closely, you would see that his left eye was a sun and his right eye a moon.

The cosmic dial's sun and moon were exactly the same as those in his eyes.

These sun and moon had three main functions.

First, unify illumination.

Second, establish a time reference.

Third, to monitor the world, the sun and moon, were essentially his eyes.

After all, Li Qing had extensive experience working from the shadows, what's most important?

Control and inspection capabilities!

Being clueless would soon lead to downfall.

If Li Qing didn't have surveillance, he would have been killed countless times by those rebels.

Now, as a Light Ancient God, he claimed he wouldn't rely on Crystal Wall cameras and aimed to independently establish a new cosmic surveillance system.

His true self was hidden deeply.

Now, his eyes could monitor the world from home through the sun and moon.

Moreover, the hands of the sun and moon could extend and retract, sweeping over the entire cosmos like a millstone, enhancing control.

Although not as effective as Crystal Wall cameras, these two Celestial Eyes were quite formidable!

Minis and Aurora, those rebels, better not think about hiding; they need to run.

Do they think knowing the speed of the hands will help, or that running ahead of the hands will keep them undiscovered?

The two hands turn in opposite directions, and when they complete a circle, they meet without leaving any monitoring dead spots.

From a mythological perspective, it is the intersection of the sun and moon.

"This also urges those guys to work diligently! So the surveillance mechanism of the Ancient Tree was the first thing I perfected."

Li Qing's expression was calm.

After all, being a villain and oppressing the entire cosmos openly is quite normal.

He felt the shell of this avatar of the Light Ancient God, which had about two hundred years of life left.

Now, with a lifespan over a thousand years, it surpassed most Ninth Layer Ancient Gods; after all, the theoretical limit was that one couldn't withstand more than a thousand years.

Feeling the decay and exhaustion within his body, he merely left it to fate.

After all, how could he prevent the decay of this body?

He couldn't even stop his main body's aging.

"Truly living in this era, using all my talent and calculations, attempting to break through to longevity." Li Qing murmured:

"Let's see how far I can go personally in this lifetime."

"Even if I fail, after my death, all experiments would have paved a path for future generations; whether I take on more disgrace after death as the Light Ancient God, I do it willingly."

...

...

"The Light Ancient God has been exposed!"

"Increasingly evil!"

"As soon as we ascend, they capture us!"

"He sees the entire cosmos as a prison, and us as his prisoners!"

"Break the tyranny of the Light Ancient God!"

The entire cosmos started to curse, but only dared to do so inwardly.

After being monitored, they couldn't slack off; immediately a Great Angel would swing a whip.

And these Great Angels, of course, were those seven million Celestial Humans, forced to breakthrough as Ancient Gods, now each of them the strongest combat power in the cosmos as Ninth Layer Ancient Gods.

Each of these seven hundred thousand individuals, over 120 in number, theoretically could easily surround and kill the already aged single Light Ancient God.

But dare they kill?

No, they didn't dare.

Because they had gained long life, they would age and die soon, hoping the Light Ancient God could lead them to open the Longevity Technique, to live long together.

Previously hoping for his death, now after being stuck, they hoped he would live longer.

It's quite remarkable.

They had no choice but to follow the Light Ancient God down this dark path.

Thinking about this, they grew silent, "Alas! This old schemer had calculated all this from the start! Knowing after forcing us to break through as Ancient Gods, even with our numbers, we can only help him."

Another ten years passed.

In the Lower Realm, eighteen million years had passed.

The new Celestial Dao's Ancient Tree was beginning to take shape, and groups of ascending Ancient Gods quickly conscripted workers, which had become normal.

People descended further into despair.

The Ancient Gods across the cosmos were dull with age; throughout the "Great Wall," there were giants emaciated to the bone, moving slowly.

Analyzing various details, they continuously dissected the character of the Light Ancient God, discovering that he once had them work as miners digging holes, now constructing workers to build trees.

This person had a fanatic interest in construction.

For every situation, there seemed to be other solutions, but he always turned first to architecture.

As it happens, they guessed right!

Previously, Li Qing loved architecture too, being enamored by things like three-room apartments, starting mental institutions, tricking the whole cosmos into removing garbage for reconstruction.

Another day.

"Don't ascend! Don't ascend! The gods become slaves... the cosmos is dark... demons reign..." Messages secretly passed from some Upper Realm Great Sect Holy Lands to the Lower Realm caused panic.

Boom!

Three years later, these contacted Great Sect Holy Lands were quickly eradicated.

The cosmic sun and moon surveillance system became increasingly perfect.

Gradually, under the bewitchment of the Light Church, the cosmos experienced a cognitive schism.

People of the small worlds thought ascending meant enjoyment, enviously gazing at the stars in the sky, unaware that they would become exhausted all-hour laborers upon ascending.

Another fifty years passed.

The Ancient Tree of Origin had turned into a small tree, faintly having its former grandeur.

And at the top of the tree, the Light Ancient God stood on the branches, overlooking all heavens, like a statue, unmoving.

No one knew what the Light Ancient God was thinking, as everyone revered his imposing presence, even though this old man appeared frail, his High-tier Dao cloudy.

Some said he was developing a Longevity Technique, with a possibility of survival.

Some said it was just a shell, the true Light Ancient God had already reincarnated into a second life to achieve longevity again.

But more believed he didn't have much time left.

Still, no one dared to test it, because back then the head of the Star Expedition Army, that popped, terrified eye of White Horse Constellation, continued rolling around.

Gulping!

From the mines entrance on the Origin Continent, rolling down the Rainbow Bridge, it has now rolled to the midway point of the all-heavens scenario.

From the way it was moving, it seemed like it would roll from the cosmos's South Pole to North Pole, needing to end beneath the Abyss.

Even fewer dared to retrieve the body.

That continuously rolling head served as a blood-soaked warning, leaving all miners and construction workers along the way watching with fearful eyes.

At this moment.

Suddenly, the Ancient Tree swayed fiercely.

All living things in the cosmos seemed to sense something in an inexplicable way; the Ancient Tree had birthed a will.

"A new Celestial Human has been born."

The Light Ancient God opened his aged and cloudy eyes, "Since the Ancient Tree died, Celestial Humans have been infertile until now.... soon there will be new fellow Celestial Humans."

Having said that, his radiant consciousness gently and silently caressed the newly born intention of the Ancient Tree.

"Who are you."

"Are you father?"

A cute and naive voice emerged from inside the Ancient Tree.

This Ancient Tree was only one-third complete, yet it had already begun to develop wisdom.

"Yes, indeed." The Light Ancient God's face softened, showing a kind expression, "My child, your life is very short, lasting only a few seconds. I will teach you a technique, transforming the Celestial Dao into a Celestial Human, ensuring longevity."

The naive new Ancient Tree Will sensed its body condition, and was overjoyed, knowing this was an act of salvation, "Thank you, father."

Rustle.

It quickly reincarnated.

A new era of Celestial Humans was born.

"Go help with tree construction." The Light Ancient God gently suggested.

Celestial Human: "....."

In bewilderment, it began a new journey of life.
