invasion of the immortal world

The beginnings of chaos

On Mars, at the center of the crater of the highest mountain in the solar system, stood the newly created futuristic city of Sidh. After 100 days of work, the city was finally completed, thanks to the efficiency of mobile 3D printers that allowed for rapid construction. At the center of this city was a portal surrounded by a vast empty square. The city was divided into four main zones, each with a specific function.

To the north was a vast complex of laboratories filled with scientists in white coats. The research focused on highly advanced scientific projects and on combining the knowledge of the immortals with technology.

To the east, there was an industrial zone operating almost exclusively with AI. Apart from a few supervisors, no trace of humans could be found. This zone was responsible for the production of food and tools necessary for the daily life of the base's inhabitants. Part of the industrial zone was isolated from the rest; only a very limited number of people had the necessary authority to access it, and a much more advanced AI managed it.

To the south were shops, restaurants, cinemas... At the center of this zone stood a massive building adorned with the word *Electi* on its facade. Next to it was a more modest school for the children of the base's residents. A massive dome had been erected to house all the buildings in the south, recreating an area similar to a city on Earth. Unlike the rest, the top of the dome was constructed with a new type of ultra-resistant glass.

Finally, to the west, there was a large residential complex for the base's inhabitants. The complex resembled a gigantic cube 10 meters high. Nearly all of the buildings were constructed from Martian regolith mixed with a liquid binder, enhancing the waterproofing, temperature resistance, and strength of the regolith. The use of glass was quite limited due to the difficulty of its production.

In the oldest laboratory in the city, a group of men and women burst into cheers, hugging each other and congratulating one another. Despite profound fatigue, dark circles under their eyes, and slumped postures, they radiated joy, and none seemed willing to sleep. Alex and his team, after more than two months of research, had finalized a superior cultivation technique for the immortals. After analyzing the complex anatomy of the immortals, pooling together writings and analyses, and conducting dozens of tests, the perfect cultivation method for the immortals had been created.

Although Alex did not doubt that further improvements were possible, they would be minimal, and the time lost would prevent him from preparing for the imminent war. As for the fact that some immortals had special constitutions, he had already asked Noctua, who had responded that it was from the second stage that immortals developed a unique constitution. They would only need to stand on the platform next to the lectern to know which constitution they had awakened, and Noctua would inform them.

The Noctua Library had also held many surprises for him over the past three months. He had discovered the existence of several storage rings containing abundant resources suited to different professions, as well as an endless amount of tree and plant seeds. However, certain requirements had to be met to take possession of them. The only thing he had accessed was a ring containing various cultivation seeds, such as spiritual rice or Qi flowers. Indeed, many groves of the latter were blooming in various locations.

The rice was used to enhance a person's constitution and aid in their cultivation. The flowers, on the other hand, improved and increased the amount of Qi present in the air, just as trees produce oxygen. Although the increase was not significant, a large number of these flowers would bring about a considerable boost in Qi in the Soul Realm.

After transcribing the cultivation technique into a book, Alex showed it to the scientists before addressing them:

"Dear colleagues, here is the fruit of our three months of hard work. This book represents our future and will pave the way for developing a cultivation technique suited to humans. Be assured that all your names will be listed at the end of this book."
