My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 542: Chapter 342: So the Highest Realm of an ”Infrastructure Maniac” is Physical Sainthood

Russian Netizens (VK Hot Post): ”Does Superman Li need teammates? We can use our Earth Superpowers to dig through the Siberian permafrost too! (Image: polar_bear_lifting_weights.jpg)”

”The Eastern Great Power can even solo-clear a Moon Base. How about you take us along to develop Mars’s resources next time? We’ll split it 50/50! (doge emoji)”

Someone retorted, ”In your dreams. Why would they ever split it 50/50 with you?”

Indian Netizens (Twitter Trend #Chandrayaan4VSChina):

”Our Chandrayaan-4 is still just a PowerPoint presentation, and they’re already installing WiFi on the far side of the Moon! Elder Immortal Mo, send in the Yoga Masters to take on the Armored Man! (Top Comment)”

”No need to be jealous. Lord Li is one of our Shiva God’s Divine Envoys too.”

”Stop trying to claim him. He’s probably even more powerful than the Shiva God. It’s more like the Shiva God is *his* subordinate deity.”

”Exactly! Has your Shiva God ever been to the Moon? Has he ever performed a miracle like this?”

European Scholar (BBC Interview):

”The Eastern Great Power is redefining the term ’infrastructure fiend’—from the Yangtze River and Yellow River to the far side of the Moon, Li Sheng’s Earth Superpower completely subverts the principles of engineering. We must be cautious, however. This ’one-man civilization’ model could lead to global over-reliance on his individual power.”

African Netizens (TikTok Short Video):

”Lord, can you come help us find some groundwater first? The desert is about to swallow us whole! (Background music: African drumming + ’To the Moon’)”

...

With the eyes of the world upon him, Li Xiang stood proudly upon a desolate plain on the far side of the Moon. His presence was peerless, and the blue and gold markings of his Giant Whale Saint Armor stood in stark contrast to the pale grey lunar soil.

He stomped his feet lightly, and an earthy yellow light burst forth. Saint Tier Spiritual Power radiated from him in ripples as he let out a low shout, ”Star Meteor Flowing Sand: Earth Pivot Manifestation!”

In an instant, the lunar soil in a ten-kilometer radius began to churn as if it were alive!

Lunar dust billowed up like a sandstorm. Within it, countless grains of sand automatically condensed into hexagonal, honeycomb-like structures. They stacked layer upon layer, forming the main body of the base. The thickness of the walls adjusted automatically to the gravity, and faint golden Inscriptions materialized on their surface.

...

In less than half an hour, the basic structure of the base was complete. If humans wanted to travel here via spacecraft, it was now possible. Li Xiang could help establish a self-sustaining ecological system and a sealed, oxygen-rich environment.

However, the most pressing task was to install the radio telescope.

Li Xiang, clad in his Giant Whale Saint Armor, hovered in the center of a crater. Behind him, his Otherworldly Warehouse unfolded like a black hole. With a deep shout, he commanded, ”Rise!”

Over a thousand silver-white radio dish segments shot out, each ten meters in diameter. He formed a series of hand seals, and his Spiritual Power transformed into golden threads. These threads guided the segments, assembling them into a butterfly-shaped array...

Twenty minutes later, as the final segment clicked into place, Li Xiang pressed his palm against the main console. The array activated instantly. An invisible wave shot deep into space, and the live broadcast simultaneously displayed a notification: ”Gravitational wave signal acquired. Positioning accuracy: 0.001 arcseconds!”

The global livestream chat exploded with a flood of comments:

”Superman Li: Just taking a little stroll, thought I’d pick up the deed to the Moon while I’m at it!”

”Next livestream, I recommend planting potatoes on Mars. Set up shop right next to the Zhurong rover! (doge emoji)”

And in the multi-language translation section:

”A project he finished by himself in under an hour would take NASA two hundred years to complete! (Spanish)”

”So the ultimate form of an ’infrastructure fiend’ is achieving sainthood in the flesh... (Arabic)”

”This isn’t just showing off; it’s a blatant display of deterrence. From now on, who would dare to defy him?”

”Li Sheng is just telling everyone in his own way: ’Anyone got a problem with this? Step right up. No need for a whole song and dance, just raise your hand.’”

”Don’t want to raise your hand? Just making a peep is fine too.”

Li Xiang’s trip to the Moon—single-handedly building the Moon Base and the ”Candle Dragon” telescope array, all while broadcasting it live to the world—was indeed intended to demonstrate the power of a Saint Tier and serve as a deterrent.

Because he was about to make a big move.

And any big move requires both a carrot and a stick.
