Theresa's extraordinary situation alarmed the others. The first one to come was Rita. Her footsteps are silent. She did not cause any fluctuations on the surrounding space. She perfected the movements of a perfect maid even as an immortal cultivator.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
She bowed elegantly as a greeting.
"How was the last thirty years? I hope I didn't leave you with too much work."
"It is fine. The work is manageable. Miss Bronya helped shoulder the burden of management."
As expected, the CEO Duck is no joke. There's a reason she became Mihoyo's CEO.
"Aunt Theresa's changes won't harm others. I will set up a formation in case something goes wrong." I returned Rita's gaze back to her. "You might have to take over her role temporarily. This will last for about three months."
"Understood. I will settle her due responsibilities now." She was about to leave when she looked at me. "The Young Miss is out of her seclusion. When are you available, Sect Master?"
Bianka wants to meet me?
It doesn't come off as a surprise. I still have a lot of 'responsibilities' left on others. I have a lot of partners whom I haven't met yet.
"Is tomorrow alright?"
"Yes. I will schedule it tomorrow."
After another elegant bow, the perfect maid disappeared out of the room. I did not waste time. I started setting up a sixth grade formation around the entire office. It took some time to finish it all. I looked outside the window and saw it was already dawn.
The formation's up and running. I can leave Theresa for now and meet up with Bianka. But before that, I need a gift.
The storage ring I possessed is a seventh grade storage ring. Its internal area is the equivalent of the entire observable universe in my previous life. I can stash all of my treasures inside and still could not fill it completely.
Better yet, I have five of these.
I scanned for a while and suddenly remembered about my gacha. I briefly went inside the golden orb space and saw a full charge of 10,800 in daily draws.
I decided to draw all of them at once.
Hum-!
A magnificent sight appeared inside the ring's internal area. Golden light covered more than a tenth of its overall space. Treasures of Divine Transformation Realm littered around. Sixty-two sixth grade storage rings floated amidst them all along with 105 Void Refinement Realm treasures. There are no Dao Integration Realm treasures for this batch.
I looked around the storage rings. Some of them contained one person's stuff while there are others that contained the inheritance of an entire Divine Transformation Realm force. The treasures of Golden Core Realm and below that I currently possess are too many to count. Even if I donate a fraction of it to Earth, I would still have countless others in possession.
I am not just rich.
I am very fucking rich.
If not for me not wanting to spoonfeed Earth, I would have showered them with resources already. I decided to wait for one to two hundred years before releasing a small fraction of my wealth to hone Earth's cultivators. Its complete sustenance chain of spiritual materials will mature then. It's like giving fish to fishermen who already knew how to fish.
Hardships, innovations, and development are good things. I don't want to mess up Earth's development, not when everyone else committed massive efforts in making it possible.
"Welt must have completed half of it by now…"

"The Quantum System needs to be rebuilt from scratch."
Welt Yang is living the best retirement life. He served as the President for ten years before fading into the background. The disciples of the Wushi Dao Sect, however, knew him as the Peak Master of the Artifact Forging Vein.
Despite his cultivation being a major realm lower than other Peak Masters, everyone respected him. Welt Yang's talent in Artifact Forging was so absurd he could forge sixth grade artifacts as a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Unbeknownst to others, he is also undertaking three projects involving the Void Refinement Realm!
It is widely known that alien gods known as Aeons exist beyond the solar system. The Federation's policy regarding Mandatory Military Training, Combat Readiness, and the Special Combat Zones containing dangerous monsters (i.e., honkai beasts) all stem from it.
Naturally, the higher-level cultivators are preparing for the day the solar system's lockdown ends.
The three top-secret projects in the Artifact Forging Vein are the war weapons designated to deal with strong Emanators. One of them was the Mecha inspired from Gundam 00, Qan[T].
Its main function, the Quantum System, is modified to borrow a portion of Earthlings' powers and converge them into one. This includes high-level cultivators. Its "theoretical" ceiling is at the pinnacle of the Void Refinement Realm.
Welt Yang's focus went to creating this Mech.
"This new design should work."
Tap-!
Tap-!
…
The sound of footsteps echoing in the metal floor caught his attention. He looked back and saw a familiar figure.
"Long time no see, Mister Yang."
He was momentarily stunned to see Shi Tian in the hangar.
"It has been a long time, yes."
Recalling the time, Welt Yang felt sentimental. More than forty years had passed, yet neither he nor Shi Tian showed any visible changes in their appearance. If there was a change, it would be Shi Tian's bearing becoming stronger.
Dignity, power, amicability…
His vibe depends on his current emotions. He is someone who can influence the world with small thoughts.
"I heard the Quantum System has to be scrapped?"
"That's right. We were too conservative."
Shi Tian glanced at the tall Mech and understood his words.
Earth's knowledge repository all came from him. However, it is limited to immortal cultivation. The fusion of immortal cultivation, Sea of Quanta, and Imaginary Tree are completely new areas. This has been the main focus of Earth's academic fields lately.
Welt Yang built Qan[T] by referencing hundreds of other Immortal Mechas. Its original limit was the pinnacle of the Void Refinement Realm. Things change when the Sea of Quanta is added. Its "true" limit was raised to the Dao Integration Realm. Although, it was still riddled with a lot of flaws.
It wasn't until they came up with a way for Qan[T] to harness the opposing powers of the Sea and the Tree did their progress ensue.
"Do you have a suitable pilot?"
Shi Tian's question made Welt Yang pause.
"We have someone in mind. Einstein's adoptive daughter has a partner. Her individual records inside the Class Two Special Combat Zone are in the top one."
Shi Tian instantly thought of a familiar name.
'Erdos Helia.'
