My bathroom leads to the celestial realm.

111 Three Chapters of the Covenant

After the meeting, in the director's office.

Zou Qiang personally poured Xu Yan a cup of hot tea: "Little Xu, I don't have any good tea here, please don't mind."

"Director Zou, you're too kind. I can't really tell the difference between good and bad tea." Xu Yan picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips without saying a word.

Zou Qiang quickly stopped him: "Ouch, it's hot..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yan had already drunk more than half a glass. He looked at the glass in surprise, then at Zou Qiang.

Zou Qiang smiled wryly: "I still can't change. I still treat you like an ordinary person."

"It's fine to be an ordinary person. You don't need to treat me like some kind of cultivator," Xu Yan said cheerfully.

Zou Qiang laughed and said, "Your attitude is quite unique... So, what do you want to see me about?"

"It's still about the electromagnetic railgun." Xu Yan got straight to the point. "I need this as my last resort."

Zou Qiang tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, remaining silent.

Xu Yan frowned and said, "What? Is it not allowed?"

"It's not a question of whether it's feasible or not," Zou Qiang sighed. "Xiao Xu, you're too impulsive!"

Xu Yan was stunned. What was all this about?

"How much time has passed since you transmigrated?" Zou Qiang cried out in anguish. "First Tian Muye, then Shangguan Ang, two Golden Core cultivators already, and then there's that Nascent Soul cultivator named Yan Qiao! Little Xu, we're happy to support you, but that's a trump card to ensure your safety, not a source of confidence to cause trouble!"

Xu Yan's expression was a little stiff.

I didn't realize it until I thought about it carefully, but looking back now, it seems that's really the case, and I suddenly feel a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean to..."

"You managed to cause such a huge mess even without doing it intentionally. If you did it on purpose, wouldn't you have created a huge hole in the sky?" Zou Qiang became increasingly angry as he spoke. "Little Xu, you've caused so much trouble before you've even reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Now that you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, you still have an electromagnetic cannon. Do you want to provoke a few more Nascent Soul cultivators?"

"Don't you novelists all talk about survival skills? How come your protagonist is all about survival, but you yourself are so impulsive?"

"Hey, we just happened to be there!" Xu Yan tried to explain. "We couldn't just stand by and watch someone die, could we?"

Zou Qiang sighed, "Xiao Xu, I'm not saying you're wrong, but if you keep doing this, I'm really worried and unsure of what to do!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Xu Yan kicked the ball back directly.

"Three rules!" Zou Qiang was prepared. "First, you must survive. Can you do that?"

Xu Yan smiled wryly: "I'll try my best."

Zou Qiang was extremely troubled: "Secondly, don't provoke Golden Core cultivators, and even more so, don't provoke Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Xu Yan...

"I tried my best!"

Zou Qiang was even more troubled: "Third, don't meddle in other people's business."

"Well... I'll try my best."

Zou Qiang was completely exasperated: "Fine, we made a three-point agreement, and you won't agree to a single one, is that it?"

"I don't cause trouble, but I can't stop trouble from coming after me!" Xu Yan said innocently, continuing to negotiate, "If the electromagnetic cannon really doesn't work, how about a laser cannon?"

"I'll get you a set of the Staff of God, do you want it?"

"It's not impossible!"

Zou Qiang was immediately speechless with anger, but the two were not in a superior-subordinate relationship. He could only persuade them with a stronger tone, and if he went any further, it might damage their relationship.

Zou Qiang sighed inwardly: This kid is so troublesome, could it be that God sent him to mess with him?

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Yan sorted out his thoughts and said in the most honest manner, "Director Zou, I really didn't mean to cause so much trouble, but those cultivators treat human life like dirt, and I couldn't control myself in a moment of passion."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "To be honest, I have indeed considered changing some things..."

"Change?" Zou Qiang keenly grasped the key point. "What do you want to change?"

Xu Yan was a little embarrassed: "Society..."

"Society?" Zou Qiang tasted the food, then suddenly realized something. "You mean..."

"Yes, just the kind you're thinking of!"

Zou Qiang immediately shook his head: "You're kidding."

"How can we just let it go?" Xu Yan protested. "I transmigrated there just for that little bit of cultivation? I have to do something meaningful, right? Besides, I'm not starting from scratch; I have plenty of experience to draw upon!"

"Learn from?" Zou Qiang seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke. "Xiao Xu, I understand how you feel, but you're really wrong to think that way."

Xu Yan was confused: "What did I do wrong?"

"The problem lies in the different circumstances on both sides!" Zou Qiang said. "Let me analyze it for you. Why were they able to overthrow the imperial system? First, the Qing dynasty's perverse policies were unpopular; second, they had a group of like-minded people; and finally, the overall environment changed!"

"I ask you, do you have any like-minded people?"

Xu Yan thought for a moment and shook his head.

Do you have a fan base?

Xu Yan continued to shake his head.

"Do you possess unparalleled cultivation?"

Xu Yan still shook his head.

Zou Qiang spread his hands: "You have nothing, how can you change the world?"

"So?" Xu Yan asked.

Zou Qiang was confused: "What do you mean, 'so'?"

"So what should I do?" Xu Yan asked matter-of-factly.

Zou Qiang: So all my talk was for nothing?

He rubbed his temples, deciding to slip in a bit of his own agenda: "First, you need to have the ability, understand?"

Xu Yan nodded: "Understood!"

"Actually, you need to have power. A hero needs three helpers; you can't win if you fight alone."

"Understood!" Xu Yan humbly accepted.

"Secondly, you need to have a solid foundation of support!"

"I understand!" Xu Yan nodded again, "But how exactly do I do it?"

Zou Qiang rolled his eyes: "Do you need me to have someone make a detailed plan for you?"

Xu Yan's eyes lit up: "That's wonderful!"

Zou Qiang... can't understand sarcasm, can you?

Okay, then let's come up with a few absolutely impossible bad ideas to make this kid give up!

Thinking of this, Zou Qiang immediately came up with a plan: "First, you need money... Second, you need to establish schools, enlighten the people, and at least let some people receive an education... Then, through these people, spread advanced ideas and find some like-minded people... Finally, you need to find a suitable opportunity to overthrow the old order and create a new world..."

"This process is unlikely to be smooth sailing; it will likely be full of setbacks... Information is crucial, and reliable information channels are essential... This other world is not the real world; a high-level cultivator could easily destroy all your hard work..."

"You've only just established your foundation; completing this plan will be extremely difficult for you. If you were at the Golden Core stage, the difficulty would decrease significantly. If you were at the Nascent Soul stage, the difficulties would be minimal. And if you could reach an even higher realm, a few words from you would be enough to have a large number of cultivators running errands for you..."

Xu Yan quickly stopped him: "Director Zou, I know cultivation is important, and I definitely won't fall behind. Besides, I have a portal; if all else fails, I can just go back to the mortal world!"

Zou Qiang wasn't embarrassed at all: "Hey, I'm just giving you a heads-up. In short, it's extremely difficult!"

Xu Yan was also a little overwhelmed, but quickly cleared her mind: "Then I'll start with the simplest one!"
