The Path Toward Heaven

That was the happiest time for mankind since the birth of the ancestor star. Lifespan, health, martial arts, genetic optimization, technological level, social structure, governance, energy, and even entertainment were all close to perfection.

Standing by the window, Huaxi said softly: If it was a tragic era of wars, if it was the era when civilization was robbed for the first time and left the ancestral star, it would not matter if we encountered a sea of ​​dark things, and hell would be destroyed, it would not make people feel sad and sad, but why is it that the best era has the greatest disaster? If there is no reason in the universe, is this our destiny? Then why are we so unlucky?

Jing Jiu said: Zhao Layue once said that there are many beautiful voices in the world, and the streams are pleasant to the ear. Just listen to it. Do you still want to applaud?

Huaxi turned and looked at him with a blank expression, as if she didn't understand why he said something completely irrelevant at this time.

The stream flows there by itself, and when it meets the stone, it makes a sound. Whether it sounds good or bad, it has nothing to do with people. Neither the stream nor the stone have thought of listening to you.

Jing Jiu said: By the same token, the emergence of the sea of ​​dark matter, encountering life and bringing about death has nothing to do with us. Those dark forces and those impregnated beings have no emotions, no likes and dislikes, and even no subjective purpose. They just happened to appear in this galaxy.

Huaxi said: This is still fate.

Jing Jiu said: You can say that this is fate, but in fact it is a matter of probability. And I have always thought that the emergence of human beings or life is a good fate, because death and non-existence are the normal state. If this is the case, even if human beings become extinct, it is not a bad fate, but a return to normality.

Huaxi was quiet for a while, and said: There is a book that says there is no destiny, only choice, so what is your choice?

If it were someone else, the first reaction would definitely be: I am not the leader of human beings, why should I take on such a heavy responsibility?

Using one's own choice to determine the fate of mankind will drive people crazy...

Jing Jiu didn't think so. He knew that he was qualified and capable of taking on this responsibility. The only question was whether he was willing to take on this responsibility.

General Li asked him to come to this planet, see this city, and Huaxi's question was actually an expectation or an investigation of him.

Investigation is his least favorite thing, but he decided to answer this question because Huaxi's attitude is very important to his plan.

Jing Jiu said, Like that god, I will first try to see if I can completely solve the problem of the Sea of ​​Dark Matters.

This is what it means to fight.

Huaxi looked into his eyes for a long time, and suddenly asked: After staying, what will you do with this planet?

Of course, this question is still about hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Jing Jiu had already come up with the answer in that city, saying: If the final result of the mathematical model is like this, I will do the same thing.

Huaxi turned around and looked out the window.

The wilderness outside the window was still so desolate, and her figure seemed a little lonely, but for some reason, she could feel her breath becoming softer.

Aren't you most afraid of death? She continued to ask.

Jing Jiu said, So we need to solve the problem.

Didn't you say that dead silence and non-existence are the norm?

The pursuit of Taoism is to jump out of the norm.

If the problem of the Sea of ​​Dark Things cannot be resolved, will you try to leave?

certainly.

The last question, if you were to sacrifice yourself in exchange for more people living, would you be willing?

I don't want to.

Why?

If I live, human beings live.

After hearing Jing Jiu's answer, Huaxi was silent for a long time.

The black star has no light, and the sunlight of the ring base is artificial, so the desert outside the window becomes a bit like the scenery on the oil painting, which is not real.

She said in a tone of nostalgia and regret: If only he was such an asshole like you back then.

Knowing who she was talking about, Jing Jiu felt a little emotional, and said, Taos are different, but they are all Dao.

Speaking of Dao, I think of your novel. Is the life of ascetics so boring? You don't listen to music or dance?

Huaxi returned to her innocent and lovely appearance, as if an old soul had left her body at this moment.

This scene was really weird, but Jing Jiu didn't respond, and said, Yes, I don't like it.

Huaxi opened his eyes wide, looked at him curiously and asked, Then what do you like? I asked just now, there is everything here.

Circular Base 857 is the most important secret base of the Galaxy Alliance. It is heavily guarded and kept secret. Whether it is a military officer or a research institute, it is difficult to leave here, so the living facilities here are very complete. Like she said, there's everything here.

Here you can watch the latest movies, hear the latest music, and the latest games from the three major game companies. Of course, the game cabin is also the best one. There are also various martial arts training equipment, and there are even some special enjoyments under the premise of sufficient permissions.

I don't like anything. Jing Jiu said.

Huaxi looked at him with sympathy in his eyes, like looking at a good student who was forced by his parents to study every day and had no time for entertainment, so he thought he didn't like entertainment.

When Jing Jiu was still a real person in Jingyang, his life was very dull, and he didn't like to deal with people the most. In addition, Nan Wang liked to drink and sing ditties after drinking. He was used to retreat in the cave. But at that time, he still had some favorite things to do, such as hot pot and mahjong.

When he became Jing Jiu, he lost all five senses, he could only collect information and simulate one or two through calculations, and he had no interest in things like eating, drinking and having fun.

Because he has no hand feeling, he doesn't even like to play mahjong. This is probably like the difference between real mahjong and game mahjong.

In a sense, this kind of him is indeed worthy of sympathy.

When Zhao Layue, Liu Shisui, Gu Qing and others discovered this in Sanqianyuan, they all wanted to hug him and hold him high because they felt distressed.

Jing Jiu didn't think this was something to be distressed about. What was such a small price for living? And he didn't like the feeling of being sympathized with.

He stopped talking about Huaxi, connected to the dedicated network of the ring base, and continued to read information related to the Sea of ​​Dark Matters.

Huaxi didn't want to talk to him anymore, turned around and took the young officer out of the house, and said, Will the evening reception be fun? How about the wine? I like spirits.

According to Union law, you are not of legal drinking age, said the junior officer.

Huaxi curled her lips and said, Then I'll go dance.

The young officer said: According to the data analysis, the base host's favorite type of music is psychedelic rock, which is not suitable for your favorite type of dance.

Huaxi stopped and said, Change to a host who likes swing dancing.

Jing Jiu raised his head and glanced at her.

...

...

Time, as the waterfall of data flowed down, and soon it was late at night. The reception at the 857 base reached its climax. Jing Jiu could hear the louder and louder waves through the thick alloy door and a long distance away.

Just as he was about to close his six senses and block out external sounds, he suddenly heard a tiny sound of breaking through the night sky.

There was no alarm at the base, and the sound of piercing the air was extremely sharp at first, and then disappeared suddenly, indicating that the opponent's movement speed was extremely fast, even far exceeding those of the combat armor.

Jing Jiu easily figured out that the person was Shen Yunbu. After thinking about it, he opened the window and flew out.

The sun in this galaxy is very dim. At this time, it is night and the environment is even darker, which is very conspicuous in this galaxy and other galaxy groups.

Under the starry sky, two sword lights left the circular base, and it didn't take long to arrive at the southern wasteland.

There is no barrier to isolate the city here. The wasteland is really desolate, lifeless, and black dust is everywhere.

Jing Jiu landed on a very high mountain, looking towards the black field.

The dust billowed in the field like a giant dragon.

Shen Yun was buried in running.

He didn't fly, his legs stepped on the ground of the wilderness, he kept running, and occasionally uttered a few shouts.

Running at night has no purpose and no reason.

This black wasteland is the hell of death.

Running in hell and feeling the taste of death is what he wants to do.

The problem is, it's something no one else dares to do.

So in the eyes of others, this move is crazy and incomprehensible.

Who knows how many dangers are hidden in the black wasteland without protective shields, whether there are blood thumbs or spores that still have vitality, and there may even be some monsters.

Jing Jiu stood on the edge of the cliff, watching this scene with some appreciation.

Not long after, Shen Yunbuan ran back from the black wasteland.

The warships outside the atmosphere all monitored an extra straight line on the surface at the same time, which was about 700 kilometers long.

Accompanied by the sound of falling gravel, Shen Yunbu climbed to the top of the peak, looked at the sky full of stars, took a deep breath of the thin air with the unique smell of dead spores, and asked, What are you doing here?

He wore a simple bun and white clothes as usual.

After the night run, the hair bun was scattered on the shoulders, and the white clothes were full of tears, and even a little burnt, which can be described as naked.

Jing Jiu glanced at him and said, Your clothes are not good.
