Chapter 43 From Adversity to Prosperity
Chapter 43 From Adversity to Prosperity
Li Yao stared at the black and white Bagua diagram in front of him, his mind a little blank.
He had a vague feeling that the thing in front of him was created by the quantum engine.
But why is it Bagua (Eight Trigrams)?
Some say that the Eight Trigrams are an "instruction manual for the universe" drawn by the ancients using eight simple symbols, which contains all the laws governing the changes of heaven and earth.
Some people say that the Eight Trigrams themselves carry the meaning of endless changes and unpredictability.
Isn't that a coincidence?
Isn't his quantum engine just like that?
It's so random, it's like a madman's act; who knows what will pop up next?
What's even more bizarre is that those civilizations in the universe with less advanced technology always believe that quantum mechanics is the secret of heaven.
The secrets of heaven must not be revealed, for once revealed, trouble will ensue.
Quantum mechanics? I Ching? Heavenly secrets?
So this Bagua diagram is a representation of the randomness of the quantum engine?
"Holy crap, am I suffering from the aftereffects of being swept away?"
Li Yao slapped his forehead, feeling as if his brain was boiling over, with all sorts of random thoughts popping out.
"Calm down! Calm down!"
He took several deep breaths and finally managed to calm his turbulent thoughts.
But just two seconds after things calmed down, another thought popped into my head.
Quantum engines can attract a large number of quantum entanglements, which in turn will create a bunch of outrageous events. Isn't this just creating gossip material?
Could it be that this Bagua diagram has this hidden meaning?
Li Yao shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these distracting thoughts.
He raised his hand and drew the Bagua diagram into his palm, then looked down to examine it closely.
When his gaze fell upon the two black and white fish that were joined end to end, he suddenly realized something.
One black and one white, one yin and one yang.
There is yin within yang, and yang within yin; you are in me, and I am in you; they can also transform into each other.
The bizarre things his quantum engine caused included both bad luck and good fortune.
"When bad luck reaches its peak, good things will follow? Is this a case of things turning around for the better?"
Li Yao muttered something to himself.
Unexpectedly, the Bagua diagram in front of him suddenly emitted a bright golden light, enveloping his entire body.
Meanwhile, outside...
Tiancheng is in complete chaos.
As the day went by, more and more angels were affected.
Even angels with third-generation divine bodies would inexplicably lose their wings, including the angel Yan.
In the entire Heavenly City, apart from Keisha and He Xi, only she and the angel Zhi Xin knew the secret of the quantum engine on Li Yao's body.
As the situation grew increasingly absurd, Angel Yan couldn't help but worry about Li Yao, the source of the strange occurrences.
So she flew to the research institute while cleaning up the mess.
As a result, halfway through the flight, the wings suddenly stopped drying.
"..."
Before Angel Yan could even curse, she plummeted straight down.
The angel was quick-witted and flew over to catch her.
But as soon as it caught the person, its own wings stopped working.
And so, the two of them huddled together and crashed to the ground with a thud.
Angel Yan got up from the ground, and before she could even brush the dust off her body, a flowerpot that seemed to have flown from nowhere crashed down on her head.
With a loud crash, it landed right on her head and shattered into eight pieces.
She expressionlessly removed the shards and took a deep breath.
Seeing this, the angel beside him couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha!"
Halfway through laughing, his wings suddenly reversed their force, and he shot backward with a whoosh, crashing headfirst into a crooked tree.
"Ouch--"
Angel Yan watched as A-Zhui squatted on the ground, clutching her head. Her lips twitched, but she couldn't help but smile.
"Serves you right."
The ground shook again as soon as he finished speaking.
Suddenly, a stream of black liquid gushed out from the crack at their feet, emitting a pungent odor, which frightened the two women so much that they both retreated.
But the liquid only gushed out for a few seconds before shrinking back on its own, leaving only charred marks on the ground.
"What is this again?!"
He Xi stood by the window of the research institute, watching the chaos outside, too lazy to even sigh.
She received a regular user experience card today.
"Achoo!"
"...Xiao Yao, hurry up and finish, the teacher can't take it anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sky outside the window suddenly brightened up.
The black mass that had enveloped the city disappeared, and the sunlight shone in again.
"Huh? The rain has stopped!"
An angel looked up and found that the acid rain had disappeared sometime during the day, and the area outside the protective shield was clear again.
"My wings are healed!"
An angel who had just fallen flat on its face tentatively flapped its wings, hovering steadily in mid-air, almost bursting into tears of joy.
Even more unbelievable things were yet to come.
"Look at the ground!"
Someone pointed to the crack that had appeared earlier.
Inside the crack, the originally dark edges of the fissure now gleamed with a metallic sheen.
The angel next to him leaned closer and took a look, his eyes widening instantly.
"This is... Su Yin?!"
"And here too! It's Dark Silver!"
"I have some too!"
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
Crystallized blocks of various rare minerals emerged from the cracks in the ground torn apart by the earthquake.
Some are embedded in the rocks, while others are exposed, shimmering with an alluring light under the sun.
He Xi noticed it too, and she quickly activated her Eye of Insight to scan outwards.
"Dark Iron, Silver..."
She examined the past one by one, and finally her gaze fell on a crack.
"This...this is an entire Suyin mine?!"
A hint of excitement appeared on He Xi's face.
Dark Silver and Luminous Silver are the most core strategic resources of the Angel Civilization.
It's important to know that silver blade weapons are made of dark silver, which is an extremely rare synthetic material in the universe.
Why are they so rare?
This is because synthesizing Dark Silver requires two raw materials: Silver and Dark Silver.
These two minerals are extremely rare in the entire universe, and can be described as something that can only be encountered by chance, making them extremely precious resources with no market value.
Even among them, there aren't many angels.
And now it has suddenly appeared, and it's an entire vein of ore!
How could this not excite her?
However, the fact that it could grow out of nowhere from the cracks can no longer be explained by common sense.
"Could this be a sign that things are finally turning around?"
He Xi seemed to have guessed something, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly: "That thing, at least did something good."
The other angels also discovered various heavenly benefits.
Lingxi discovered a glowing plant she had never seen before in her own vegetable garden. After analysis, she realized that it was actually an excellent ingredient.
And a piece of equipment that an angel couldn't fix before suddenly started working properly today.
Even more astonishingly, the efficiency of the energy hub in the center of Tiancheng increased by 15 percent.
The monitoring system showed that there was no human intervention; it was purely due to the optimization of the molecular structure of the material in a certain key component.
"This...this is the Great Joy of the Machine Soul?"
The angel in charge of maintenance gaped open, unable to close his mouth for a long time.
At the same time, Li Yao, inside the upgrade cabin, also opened his eyes.
