Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

After Lin Rui left Rui Fang's Armored Biological Research Institute, he arrived at the top of a high wall in the dock base's outer courtyard, and looked outward.

He was observing the Ninth Base City after its expansion.

The diameter of the upper district of this city was originally fifteen hundred kilometers, but now it has expanded to five thousand kilometers in diameter, with the area expanding more than ten times to an astonishing 19 million square kilometers, almost equivalent to a continent on Earth's mother planet.

And the city's outer wall conveniently encompasses a small part of Lin Rui's dock base at the eastern side.

The expansion project of the base city has basically been completed, and a larger powered artificial sun has been replaced.

However, construction sites and large building robots can still be seen everywhere, especially in the suburbs of the city, where construction is ongoing everywhere.

Towering buildings are springing up one after another, along with construction of sports centers, Martial Arts Halls, schools, hospitals, and malls, among other functional buildings.

The outer wall of the city base is also under construction, with countless workers and building robots laying steel plates and pouring high-strength military cement.

The vast vacant land in the outer layer of the city is being utilized and transformed into multi-layered hydroponic farms and breeding fields.

——This is just what can be seen.

In the unseen Lower Zone, large-scale construction is also underway.

The Ninth Base City and the Federation Government have invested heavily to renovate underground living pipes and transportation tunnels, leveling the cramped and dark cavern living areas in the Lower Zone, meanwhile relocating the immigrants of the Lower Zone to the surface.

The original upper district area of the Ninth Base City was 1.76 million square kilometers, excluding industrial zones, farm zones, breeding zones, and those large biological research centers and Martial Arts halls, leaving little residential land, barely enough to accommodate 1.23 billion legal citizens of the Ninth Base City.

But now with the city's area, it can easily accommodate 10 billion people, along with the tenfold farm area.

However, the city government's cleanup results of the Lower Zone are also shocking, as the population of the Ninth Base City is far more than the 2.5 to 2.8 billion forecasted by major media and institutions, reaching a staggering 3.2 billion!

——In those dark cavernous paths of the Lower Zone, accommodating a full 2 billion people.

These people are now granted provisional citizenship, holding low-interest housing loans subsidized by the city government to relocate to the surface, thus creating massive housing demand.

The City Council also uses the low-interest housing loan policy to attract illegal immigrants from other bases, migrating to the Ninth Base City, with the current internal population reaching 3.5 billion.

Lin Rui then gathered Spirit in his eyes, causing his eyes to turn red gold.

He saw within this base city, an immensely large Array.

Using the 'Forest Rui Fang' twin towers in the center area of the base city under construction as the core, with twelve 999-story skyscrapers at the city's edge as the Array Pillar hubs, combined with the runes buried underground and in the outer wall, forming a colossal Array Plate covering the entire base.

This enormous Array is almost complete, with at most a few days left for its construction.

Lin Rui is eagerly anticipating its true completion, by then this Ninth Base City would be his unshakable foundation, the fundamental force he relies on to counter the Longevity Association and resist the deifying assimilation of the Great Sun Venerable.

This is precisely Lin Rui's advantage over the Longevity Association.

The Longevity Association is very powerful, yet cannot possess such unparalleled control and influence over a base city like Lin Rui.

But simultaneously, Lin Rui, with Spirit gathered in his eyes, also saw two figures beside him.

On his left, a towering figure radiating sun-like brilliance, dazzlingly bright and hard to look at directly, with an appearance impossible to discern; another was a refined scholar clad in a simple robe, the hem untainted by dust, exuding a transcendental worldly allure, his gentle as jade face coated with a soft golden hue from the Sun-like radiance beside him, his lips curled in a slight smile, giving an impression akin to a warm sunlight of a spring day.

——That was precisely the Seventh Generation Sect Leader whom Lin Rui had seen in portraits!

Unlike the oppressive gaze from the Great Sun Venerable beside him, this person's gaze upon Lin Rui was serene and calm, his slender eyes akin to deep, wise pools filled with warmth and gentleness.

Simultaneously, there is a trace of curiosity and anticipation, seemingly curious about how Lin Rui would struggle.

Lin Rui couldn't help but click his tongue, thinking 'here it comes again.'

He observed for a moment, confirmed the progress of this super-large Array was normal, without any abnormalities, then proceeded towards the western side of the dock base.

This dock base has undergone numerous expansions, now shaped like a sphere with a diameter of 180 kilometers, most of its internal areas occupied by the docks, shipyards, biological research institutes, and factories of Forest Rui Fang Group, with only its western part leased to 'Light King Sect', for establishing a grand Holy Temple.

This is where the 'Jingyi Altar' is settled.

When Lin Rui walked into the Holy Temple with the 'Light King' plaque hanging over its doorway, he saw a Holy Altar similar in shape to the Radiant Holy Altar.

Only it has shrunk quite a bit, partly due to Lin Rui's optimizations based on technical data of the Radiant Holy Altar, partly due to its capacity indeed being inferior to the Radiant Holy Altar, with a capacity of only six hundred million.

Lin Rui's initial design standard was three hundred million, later the Forest Group truly earned a lot through trade with the Light God Sect, hence the 'Jingyi Altar' was expanded repeatedly.
