Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Engineers spontaneously conducted inspections of the new nuclear fusion engine in the lunar city 'Xinxiang', which lasted for two days and three nights. The purpose was to ensure that this behemoth operated smoothly and would not be overloaded when the defensive formation was later activated.

This meaningless surprise inspection ended with the department leaders being criticized by higher-level leaders, but most of the engineers were actually quite regretful.

The average age of these nuclear power engineers is no more than thirty-two years old. Generally speaking, they are quite young. Most of them have worked for less than five years. They have been trained and grown up under the new era of spiritual energy education. They are now eager to show their abilities and show themselves. extraordinary.

Until they returned to the lounge, they were still complaining about the unkindness of the leaders of the space city: you know, every time a new nuclear power engine is inspected, these Tiangong or practitioners of the Golden Crow Pseudo Dao Cultivation System will have a lot of insights and make preparations. In a sense, work can even be regarded as a kind of pleasant retreat.

But people are still people after all. After returning to their respective lounges, these engineers no longer thought about work. Some of them began to contact their families far away, and some began to play games, refresh the Internet, and enjoy Xinxiang. 'Free time before the official launch of Space City.

But not everyone does.

In the lounge of No. 1209, a man with a rather weathered face was sorting out the various bits and pieces in his room. He had a head of dry black hair. Although his appearance was considered neat, his face could be seen as out of place. decadent.

The man named An Yunqing is forty-three years old this year. He is preparing a rather strange machine in his hands: This machine has a regular six-sided prism with a dark red spiritual essence inlaid in the center and dim red veins on the silver. The flow in the white metal prism contains an extremely weird and extremely dangerous aura.

No, it is not so much danger as emptiness: because there is nothing, everything has a slight fear of falling into it.

The machine needed to be controlled with spiritual power. An Yunqing skillfully controlled some parameters, silently sorted it out with some other scattered spiritual stones and runes with no apparent function, and then included it into a 'sealing card' Card' in.

In an instant, all the props on the bed disappeared.

Sealing cards are unique storage props developed by the Europa Concord Bureau. You can designate a certain amount of props and seal them into a card.

This card has no weight, and its body is located in subspace. It is the latest space reserve prop.

Because it is the latest, very advanced, almost experimental item, it is basically impossible to detect, and it is also difficult to be discovered. Even if it is discovered, as long as the carrier is strong enough, it will probably be mistaken for carrying it. The brilliance contained in the soul itself.

——Yes, today’s extraordinary technology has advanced to this point.

It has advanced to a point that it is difficult for humans in the past to understand.

Lao An, dinner is ready!

Someone was knocking hard on the door. An Yunqing was slightly startled, but quickly calmed down.

He stood up and came to the door, opened it, and his colleagues outside the door saw a tired and decadent middle-aged man walking out of the shadows. They couldn't help laughing and joking: What's wrong, too nervous to sleep?

It's not necessary. We only need to watch the meeting of more than a dozen saints from below. Although as engineers, we need to go up and say something, but can't we just say a few polite words?

Are you really afraid of society?

This joke was obviously not funny, and the emotional intelligence of his fellow engineers was obviously not very good, but An Yunqing just looked at the other person lightly, then said thank you and followed him out.

Although crops cannot be grown on the lunar soil, that is only for ordinary plants. After a year and a half of spiritualization and cultivation, the Zhengguo Xinxiang lunar surface space city has opened up an underground space that is enough to satisfy hundreds of thousands of people. The fruit and vegetable greenhouses used daily are filled with a variety of autotrophic spiritual plants that do not require organic substances and can self-decompose various inorganic substances with only spiritual energy and water.

Most of these spiritual plants don't taste good, but the concentration of spiritual energy is very high, so the meals in the canteen are extremely popular. Whether they are engineers or other professions, all the staff on the moon are looking forward to the meals.

An Yunqing left his lounge and walked out of the dormitory building. The vacuum environment of the lunar surface was nothing to extraordinary lunar surface engineers like them. They only needed to wear a simple space suit similar to a raincoat to move freely. .

Walking on the empty moon surface, the man felt the light, so he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the earth.

This is an extremely beautiful era.

Half of the earth was reflected in the man's eyes. He could see many satellites and huge space stations orbiting the moon and the earth. On the surface of the continent, there was an extremely obvious huge spiritual energy reaction surging.

At the junction of dawn and dusk, An Yunqing could clearly see countless lights.

There are lights everywhere in every corner of the world. Even Central Asia, which used to be the center of the war, is not as dark as it used to be at night.

In that land, endless twinkling stars are emerging, even in the mountains and hills. There are isolated villages connected to electricity and connected to the entire world.

After decades, mankind has finally begun to repair the consequences of the nuclear war that engulfed all mankind.

The earth is so shining and beautiful. Under the radiance of the sun, it is like the most gorgeous gem, blooming with light enough to make people lose all their worries.

But this light could not illuminate An Yunqing's darkness and drive away his troubles.

The man stood on the gray-white soil of the moon, quietly staring at the earth in front of him, which was shining brightly like a gem under the sunlight.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall his wife, eldest daughter, and second son.

and, three graves in the South Suburban Cemetery.

It was just a trance, time seemed to go back, and An Yunqing seemed to have returned to the Qingming Festival seven years ago.

It was a gloomy and cloudy day. He stood in front of the tombstone and watched the lit paper money and incense candles turn into ashes. As the hot wind blew on the tombstone, some sparks drifted out from the gradually extinguished ashes and floated in the air. A few weak traces of light flashed through it, and then quietly disappeared in the wind.

Buzzing - Psychic energy fluctuations shook time and space, awakening the man from this nightmare.

He raised his head to look at the sky again, only to find that those traces of light began to overlap with the orbits of several spaceships from the earth heading towards the moon. The intertwining of dreams and reality made An Yunqing feel dazed for a long time.

Yes, it has been seven years...

They have all been dead for seven years, died in an accident caused by ability users.

It's not a new thing.

Seven years ago, the whole earth ushered in a revival of spiritual energy. Although the officials of all the major forces in the world had made various preparations in advance to suppress all possible losses and accidents, this naturally could not be all.

A young man with the blood of the Fire Qilin awakened his divine beast blood in his sleep and ignited a raging fire that burned down the entire high-rise building. An Yunqing, who had returned from working overtime at the institute, witnessed with his own eyes being cremated by the Qilin. He could not recall the details of the scene where the ashes of the building gradually collapsed until now. It was as if infinite darkness overwhelmed the light, making the memory and all thoughts at that time fall into obscurity.

Yes, the Security Bureau's crisis management team, which arrived as quickly as possible, saved almost everyone in the building. This is undoubtedly good news, but the word almost means one thing.

That is, ‘someone did die’.

A thirty-five-story high-rise building suffered from such a fire, resulting in the death of thirteen people. This is a blessing among misfortunes.

But for An Yunqing, what he has lost is everything: his wife who has been a little cold recently but has no conflicts, and his daughter who is somewhat rebellious and disobedient but can also call her daddy. She is just two and a half years old and is learning pinyin and listening to stories. Son... everything has become indistinguishable charcoal among the ashes.

The man took one step forward, and the moon dust under his feet was flying in front of his eyes.

There was no conspiracy, no concealment, it was indeed just an unexpected and untimely awakening.

The awakened Fire Qilin did not commit any crime in any subjective sense, and showed great grief and guilt. He took the initiative to serve his sentence in prison and compensated the victims as much as possible - he was indeed a Qilin who lived up to his expectations. With a reputation of blood, he is an upright and kind-hearted good man. He also performed well in prison, so he was released two years ago and is now working for free in a private voluntary labor organization.

He is still young, has a future and great talent, and has a long time to redeem himself.

In fact, he really did nothing wrong - the bloodline awakened on his own, the chance is one in billions, who can blame him?

You can hate him, you can blame him, you can complain about him, you can want to kill him - An Yunqing has thought about everything, but the fact is very simple.

No matter what, everything you lose will never come back.

No matter how well this era develops, what can we do?

Walking on the lunar surface, An Yunqing closed his eyes and said to himself: Rather, the better the development, the more painful and self-blame I will be.

Such a prosperous world... you can't enjoy it. We have clearly agreed to prepare for our fifteenth wedding anniversary and travel around the world together. I have already bought the travel tickets...

Xiao Xiang will definitely like this world very much, right? So many of her favorite super powers and practices have been transformed from comic novels into reality. She is such an awkward child. I didn't say not to let her read it, but I just hope she can also take care of her studies. , I really didn’t want to quarrel with her...

If Dongliu is still alive, he should be almost ten years old now. He is old enough to practice under the care of his parents. His talent must be very good, but it is impossible now...

No matter how beautiful, no matter how prosperous, no matter how prosperous the world is.

To those who are nihilistic, it is nothing but emptiness, just like catching the flowing wind with your hands.

——Just like the emptiness of dusk, everything is nothing.

Yes, An Yunqing also knows.

If the Reiki era had not come, everything would have been even worse.

Rather, it would definitely be worse: at that time, the situation around the world was tense, conflicts among countries were sharp, and it seemed that a new round of cold war might start at any time.

The revival of spiritual energy interrupted this sharp confrontation, so that now, major forces with sufficient resources are cooperating smoothly, and United International has suddenly become an organization truly used to discuss global affairs.

The more prosperous and beautiful the world is today, the more An Yunqing knows how despicable and empty he is.

Especially how unbearable and evil the path he chose was.

But soon, there will be no need to struggle so painfully.

Suddenly a new question occurred to me.

An Yunqing raised his head and sent a message on the public channel: I have a new idea about radiation fluid parameters in magnetically confined plasma fields. I want to try it.

You go and eat first, I'll go later.

Old Anke is such a workaholic. Immediately, someone who was 'familiar' with An Yunqing responded with admiration: How many times have I come up with new ideas every time I think about it, and my thinking is so sharp, no wonder He is a senior senior engineer...

Yeah, it's really enviable.

Obviously, this kind of thing happened more than once, and no one suspected it. Some people even said that they would save a meal for An Yunqing.

After laying the groundwork, An Yunqing planned to go back to the power station to carry out his plan.

Wait, Lao An!

But someone stopped him. It was the fellow engineer who knocked on the door and asked him to go out for dinner.

It was a man with a strong build who looked more like a security guard than an engineer. He was looking at An Yunqing with a worried look on his face: You guy, your eyes are so weird.

How long have you not had a good rest? Now you don't even eat, your body will collapse - sound research requires a sound body and mind! Can't you go after eating?

No, I'll eat it later.

An Yunqing shook his head calmly and simply rejected the other party.

You will affect your body and practice!

It doesn't matter.

Hey, how can this not matter? The tall engineer said dissatisfied: It doesn't mean that practitioners will not die suddenly, especially since your extraordinary organs have not been completely transformed...

Is death terrible? An Yunqing asked, If I die, then I'm dead. What's the big deal? What does it have to do with you?

The silence lasted for a while, and the tall man who was just trying to persuade me became a little angry: Are you kidding yourself with your life?

But the answer was beyond his expectation.

yes.

An Yunqing lowered his eyes, covering his dull pupils.

He turned around and almost laughed at himself: A joke that lasted thirty-six and seven years.

In the man's heart, the bell of nothingness rang.

At the same time, in the subspace, the twilight descendants of the lurker opened their eyes.

The claws of the Order of Nothingness woke up. They raised their heads and looked in the direction where the bell rang.

[Did you sense the coordinates from your compatriots? 】

[Well, it’s very clear. The time and space distorted by the black domain of the past is so difficult to sense. Without coordinates, it is very difficult to even find it, let alone get close. 】

The subspace that is churning with twisted shadows is now filled with bursts of black waves. The shadow battleships with strange shapes, but extremely powerful and powerful, are awakening from the long silence and lurking, and are heading towards the place where the bell is ringing. direction to set sail.

This fleet is loaded with terrible corruption that can pollute several star fields. Even if it is destroyed, it will cause extremely terrible subspace pollution sources to spread. Even if a strong person can block the cleanup, it will still take a long time. A long time.

For the Void Order, which has recently launched its final plan, what they need most is this period of time for other major forces to be cautious and unable to notice their true purpose.

【Let’s move forward】

Therefore, a voice sounded in the subspace: At this moment, it is time to return to nothingness! 】

Then there were a large number of responses with different tones, but the same firmness: At this moment, it is time to return to nothingness! 】

The dark fleet sailed rapidly through the subspace.

The fleet from the earth also arrived at Xinxiang on the moon.

As the psychic jet gradually extinguished, the silver-white shuttle-shaped battleship stayed at the giant port dock on the moon's surface for calibration and maintenance.

Now, Earth's civilization has also begun to develop in the direction of a multi-time, space, and multi-planet civilization.

It was rare that he rode a battleship instead of turning into a battleship and came to the moon. Su Zhou, who came to the moon's surface, raised his head and stared at the earth in the starry sky. He sighed to Li Sheng and Yan Sheng beside him: To be honest, the earth and the universe alone are The resources in the world require tens of billions of people to expand and develop, not to mention that all the major forces in the world have so many livable worlds in their hands.

No wonder everyone is vigorously developing AI intelligence, but the supply exceeds demand. If I hadn't brought back more than six billion Huoxi people, Yan Sheng, you might have used robots to colonize the land, right?

【indeed so. ] In this regard, Yan Shengwu Chongwen, who was riding a cybernetic body, nodded. He was smiling and looking at the slightly crude but already beginning to take shape on the lunar city in front of him: [If nothing else, This lunar city, which is enough to carry 550,000 people, cannot be completely full at the first time]

[Only the selected first batch of 70,000 residents will settle in this city to maintain its existence, identify various problems, and let us gradually improve in the process of practicality]

[To be honest, I didn’t expect so many people to sign up enthusiastically, so I prepared a lot of AI backups from the beginning, and prepared to use AI to carry out the above tasks if there were not enough applicants]

Obviously, at the beginning of the plan, Yan Sheng greatly underestimated the enthusiasm of most ordinary people who had lost their jobs... and how free they were.

Alas, it's a pity that the higher the average strength, the lower the fertility rate of human beings.

Sighing, Li Sheng, who was over a hundred years old, shook his head. The old man said in a nostalgic tone: I think back then, I had three uncles and two uncles, not to mention other relatives and peers. At that time, even if there was a war, Times also happen...

How good it is now, who would have thought that spiritual energy recovery with such good welfare conditions can actually reduce the fertility rate?

When he said these words, Li Sheng's tone simply stated clearly that 'the world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be'.

And Su Zhou complained in his heart, ‘Everyone can think of this, right? ’.

But thinking about it carefully, the environment where the old saint grew up was different from his own. It was still a war period at that time, and both sides' views were correct, so he gave up his thoughts.

This time on the moon, the purpose of Su Zhou and all the saints was not only to celebrate the establishment of the first lunar city, but also to announce Su Zhou, the true saint of the new era, here in this city that represents the future. of taking the seat.

In a ceremony that can't be said to be complicated, but does have a lot of procedures, Su Zhou will take over the position of the contemporary 'Sage of Reason' from the nagging old man beside him.

The name of the Holy Seat is not fixed.

After taking the throne, Su Zhou can continue to be called 'Li Sheng', or he can be called 'Gesheng', 'Ming Sheng', or 'Zhu Sheng'... Whatever he wants to be called, in theory, he can, after all, this is just a job. An introduction is used in official announcements and news broadcasts, but in private everyone basically calls each other by his or her first name.

Moreover, because of the special nature of Su Zhou's daily work, he would not hold frequent meetings and discuss things like a real saint. Being busy would even affect his practice, which was even more insignificant.

However, even so, the ceremony must be properly prepared. The sense of ceremony is a very important thing, not only for humans, but also for the ambassadors of alien forces who come to visit.

Moon City·Xinxiang.

Although it looks a little simple on the outside, it is actually equipped with all kinds of facilities, and even an outer space city that is extremely advanced in some aspects, is shrouded in a 'dome' covered by a spiritual energy circle.

Inside the dome, the four seasons are like spring, while outside the dome is the natural environment of the moon with a temperature difference of more than 300 degrees.

The magical thing about this dome is that it can create an environment that is most suitable for any race, as long as it is not too extreme. The mesoscopic spiritual machine in the dome can even allow ice crystal life and fire elements to sit adjacent to each other without causing any interference.

The only thing that may cause some dissatisfaction is that the milky white coating of the houses in the space city is too uniform, and there are no special landmarks. When walking into the street, it is easy to suddenly get lost and forget where you have gone.

In addition, as far as the environment is concerned, Xinxiang has achieved perfection. Even Su Zhou is looking forward to it. When this city is filled with residents from the earth and expands towards other areas of the moon and even beyond the stars, it will What does it look like.

Many staff members of Zhengguo's lunar space station gathered together, ambassadors of alien forces also took their seats one by one, and media from all over the world set up cameras and began to prepare for filming.

First of all, the speaker was the Literary Saint. As the first saint of the contemporary era, he needed to set the tone for this celebration ceremony and sublime it into 'the first banner of mankind's development and progress towards the stars', which is an 'unprecedented step for mankind'. '...and so on, let's talk about it first.

Then, there is Tao Sheng. He mainly elaborates on the various difficulties encountered in the construction process of Xinxiang, remembers the bitterness and sweetness, looks back at the past, proves the future, and determines the core ideas.

Next, there are the other holy seats... Their appearances are essentially foreshadowing. In order to prepare for the end, Su Zhou has the highest level of 'legal principles' and 'authority' when he speaks.

At that time, even the saints who had not come to the moon would use various methods to say a word or two until finally, when Li Sheng made his final 'farewell', Su Zhou's arrival was announced.

A very complicated process.

But it is a necessary ‘ritual’.

The Holy Seat of Zhengguo is essentially an ‘authority’ with management qualifications in the order formation that gathers the will and hearts of the entire country.

Under the endless torrent of will, every holy seat must do things that are beneficial to the people of Zhengguo in order to be recognized by the great formation of order that protects the country, and to get the seat inherited from the founder of Zhengguo. .

If there is a saint who enriches his own pockets, uses his power for personal gain, oppresses the people, and causes public anger, then the Order Formation will even directly revoke his authority, and even produce a fierce backlash.

Thankfully, this hasn't happened since the founding of Jungkook.

Now it is the turn of the seventh saint, Shusheng, to speak. This saint is speaking impassionedly to encourage space professionals. However, after all, he was born as a perennial researcher. There is too much data in Shusheng’s speech. It doesn't sound like chicken soup, but rather it sounds like an inexplicable paper on the relationship between food portions in the lunar canteen and staff morale.

Su Zhou listened in the background, but he didn't find it boring at all. Instead, he discovered a scene that the saints would not usually show, which was quite interesting.

——Look, these people with authority seem majestic, powerful and inaccessible, but in fact, they also have their own preferences, habits, prejudices and shortcomings.

Just like me and all sentient beings.

At this moment, his mind was extremely peaceful, making the young man look like a mortal without any power.

But in fact, Su Zhou had one foot on the inside of the Heavenly Realm at this moment.

Closing his eyes, the young man held his breath.

He could hear the grandeur - like the surging spiritual tide of the sun, and the turbulent twisting of the earth.

He could sense the vast will in the moon, which was the emotion of the ancient immortal gods when they used the moon as their eyes before leaving their hometown, and finally gazed at the place of their origin.

He could listen to the subtleties - electrons collapsing around atomic nuclei, gravity penetrating through time and space, entangling everything in the universe.

He can understand and know that everything is connected by spiritual power. This power has faded before, but it has never really disappeared: even in the silent era when spiritual energy is cut off, at the most fundamental level of the existence of everything, Everywhere, there is still the most basic 'basic force', which is engraved with all the information in this universe.

Even though he never opened his eyes, Su Zhou could still see that the cyan aura contained countless different possibilities.

Elemental magic, holy light source, etheric energy, and shadow fighting spirit are all part of it.

The machine of fairy spirits, the energy of ghosts and evil spirits, the four phenomena of heaven and earth, and the energy of yin and yang are also its essence.

'spirit'.

Soul, spirit, wisdom.

The essence of aura is to give all things an immortal soul, a firm will, and endless wisdom.

It is not 'a' special extraordinary power, but a 'condensation of roads' formed by thousands of endless 'inheritances'.

At this moment, Su Zhou had a clear understanding in his heart.

The so-called aura is a special product that seals the universe - it is the collision of the worlds of many great beings, the integration of countless inheritances, and the Endless Way that finally condenses all roads.

With it, you can practice immortality, practice magic, cast armor from heaven, and seek truth through alchemy... From the very beginning, everything in the multiverse has been sealed, and the moment you come into contact with the aura, you can realize your 'dream' and 'desire' opportunities.

That is, the opportunity to get ‘right’.

This is the free power that overflows and merges out of the aftermath of all the great forces of existence!

An infinite power!

The so-called Tianzun engraves his own path, his own inheritance, his own 'belief' and 'wishes' into the 'aura' that records all the information in the endless eternity, so that his own path can also be remembered. Be part of this universal path.

inherited……

True inheritance is not just about believing and practicing.

Rather, let all intelligent beings in the universe believe and practice together!

This is ‘Heaven’ and ‘Zun’!

There is still a way above the Heavenly Lord, above the Heavenly Emperor, and even above the Return to Void Dao One!

It is not limited to one world, but vibrates, spreads, and radiates to other universes and worlds... Ah, this is the 'information interference' that Yala once told me... It is like the voice of preaching, the gospel The mere existence of the sound can affect many worlds...

Opening his eyes, Su Zhou felt extremely clear and firm in his heart.

Without relying on anyone, Su Zhou relied on his own strength to see the 'road ahead'.

And once you see it, you can reach it.

He firmly believes in this.

However, at this moment, he heard some strange sounds.

At this moment, the sage who has spoken has reached the tenth one. Many of the sages present are almost finished speaking. Next, the other sages who are not present will give brief speeches. Soon it will be Li Sheng and Su Zhou's turn.

Are you ready, Su Zhou?

The old man sitting next to the young man stood up and stretched his arms. Li Sheng wanted to ask Su Zhou what he was thinking now, but he saw the other man standing up with a serious face.

What's wrong?

Realizing that Su Zhou was solemn at this moment, Li Sheng had doubts in his heart.

Some surprises - unexpected surprises.

At this moment, Su Zhou squinted his eyes. He looked at where the heart of the Xinxiang nuclear fusion furnace was. His voice was calm and full of confidence: I'll take care of it, you guys continue first.

I will be right back.

Having said this, he disappeared from the spot, leaving the confused Risheng there, and then showed a wry smile that said, Sure enough, he said.

Please give me a monthly ticket~
