Chapter Seventy-Three: His **, My Immortal Grass

"It's a talent." Li Zhen thought, "But it is estimated that there are no more people." "He hasn't experienced much illness since more than a decade ago. Over the years, I have come to mind words such as "dizziness", "fatigue", "nausea", "high fever", ...... He felt distant and unfamiliar. He has always been strong and energetic, does not get sick or grow old, and rarely feels tired. But when he came out of the organization today, he had a good time as an ordinary person. But for now, it's just a small addiction. An Ruohong used his hyperplasia tissue to do a physical examination, and came to the conclusion that it had completely collapsed within three days. But Li Zhen's strong and powerful body is not just because of his physique, but also closely related to certain abilities. Of course, the involuntary growth body cannot use its abilities, so it is like he is still a "baby". As a result, he had a full grip, and he didn't react too violently at first after he drank a few drops of that thing - he was too wise for now.

But the people who can make this thing are indeed talents. Li Zhen even wanted to take that person under his "command". However, according to An Ruohong's temperament, that person must have been wiped out by now.

The so-called Zhongdu branch is said to be a branch of the "organization", but it is better to say that Kuaifeng has changed its name and added more non-professionals. So don't define it by the way the organization acts, but by "some group of assassins."

Now Li Zhen is sitting in a boat, the sea is as smooth as a mirror, and the shining stars can be seen when he looks up. There was silence between heaven and earth, and he could hear his slightly chaotic heartbeat.

The boat is not big, it is a lifeboat made of special plastic. Right now, Li Zhen is rowing. Paddle with an oar.

There was probably no one in their right mind like him, who ran to the depths of the Pacific Ocean at 1:20 a.m. and hummed softly.

Now his body is not very happy, but his consciousness is happy—a happiness that he can rarely experience.

But whoever picks up a sister Lin when she just wants to go out casually will be very happy.

Pressure. Anyone can feel the pressure. From the small pressure of "I don't know what to buy tomorrow morning" to the terrible pressure of "I don't know who the man is who often tells my girlfriend about it" - this thing is ubiquitous and will become bigger and bigger as a person's social status changes. And when a person becomes a "monarch" - unless it is the kind of person who has a bit of a noble mind - no matter how bastard the dumb monarch will feel pressure. For example, what should I do with those beauties once the country is broken?

Li Zhen never wanted to be an emperor. If he could, he wouldn't have wanted to join the Secret Service in the first place. When he was younger, he was the kind of keyboard warrior who was extremely excited on the Internet, but extremely well-behaved in reality. If it weren't for the fact that it would be difficult for him to die, he didn't know if he would have been so cowardly when he first made a choice between life and death at the beginning, and then turned around and ran.

But what should he do? It doesn't matter whether he wants to or not, he is chosen by the "fate" thing. How coincidental must a person's genetic mutation be to be infinitely close to that thing? The Old God?

He was chosen by fate and then thrust onto a stage that shone with lights. Although I don't know if Lu Dao starred in a comedy or a tragedy, it ...... After the last, he was pushed to the leading role.

In this kind of position, you can't be like the young man in a TV series who has a stepfather with a fortune of more than one billion, hypocritically saying "This is not the life I want", and then walking away irresponsibly and "struggling" on his own. Because there are many, many audiences in the audience - hundreds of millions of viewers. Once he smashes up. These people are all done.

In the past, when Li Zhen watched Hollywood blockbusters, he hated that kind of person the most - he became very powerful for some reason. He was found to save the world. Then he insisted that it was not my responsibility, that it was not the life I wanted - I had to wait for someone in the family to be unlucky or my daughter-in-law ran away before I regrouped and went to war. I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place - it was a waste of dozens of minutes of plot.

He didn't want to be that kind of person, so he felt like he had to do something. For example, when a ruthless emperor circles all the audience - the work of saving the world is never a one-person business, there is no reason for someone to drink coke and eat popcorn and sit happily and be saved. But who likes to be scolded? Especially when forcing himself to do something that he was already disgusted with.

One kidnapped another. But this man didn't like that. He just had to. So the person may try to tie the rope looser. Every now and then, I ask the one if they want to go to the toilet.

Of course, we don't expect the kidnapped person to suffer from "Stockholm syndrome" because of it – just because it's a little more comfortable doing so.

So no one knew that the "masked man" was the ruthless and brutal emperor. And those who know about it must think that Li Zhen is a psychopath—unless that person can understand how much a person can go in order not to be driven crazy by that kind of pressure.

In fact, every time he saved an innocent person from the hands of the law enforcers, he was both painful and happy - all of his own doing. However, he can at least make up for it a little bit. This compensation is purely selfish. He didn't intend to save all the people who were oppressed by the unjust system one by one, he just wanted to make himself feel better.

Naturally, he didn't expect it himself, because of this very perverted thing. He caught up with the line of organization.

Yes, "unless Li Haofan can use the power of the entire world to make his information look seamless" - Li Zhen has this kind of power.

An Ruohong and Li Zhen are completely different people, and he will never include the idea that "the masked man is played by Li Zhen" in the waiting list. Because he will never understand the inner world of another person, he will find it perverted.

It's a pity that he doesn't know that in the next period of time—whether long or short—what Li Zhen is going to do may be more perverted, and he can't bear to look at it directly.

The mirror-smooth surface of the sea reflects the light of moonlight, starlight, and man-made celestial bodies. This allowed Li Zhen to easily see the huge shadow in the distance. It traverses the ocean surface and is rooted in the ocean floor. Everything around was silent. And this silence brings out its immensity and greatness.

Li Zhen felt that his arm was a little sore. Anyone who rows more than a thousand nautical miles with sculls alone can be called a very perverted thing just because "his arm is a little sore", but for Li Zhen, it means that the virus he drank has worked, and the effect is quite good. So after more than twenty minutes, when the size of the shadow in the distance still hadn't changed, Li Zhen angrily put down the sculls and said, "Do me a favor, I'm very tired." “

There was no change in the world, but he had already appeared in front of that figure.

He tried to look up, but he couldn't see the face of the One—even with his good vision, the huge face was in the depths of the mist.

The next moment the being leaned down. One eye is the size of a 10,000-ton freighter. The slender pupils resemble a bottomless crack in the abyss. The wind that stirred up as he leaned over almost toppled Li Zhen's boat, and there was a rumbling thunder in the air due to the friction of the air. Li Zhen tried to stabilize his body and said loudly, "I'm in trouble!" “

The one blinked quite humanly at a very slow pace, and some stubble fell from his reef-like coarse-grained skin—which was actually a rock. But each piece is the size of a truck — saying, "You've got something interesting on you." “

It was impossible for any third person to believe that it was the voice of the Old God—because it was no different from Li Zhen.

But "God" only sees sound as a medium. In fact, in the incomparably long geological years, there has never been such a way of communicating with other beings - just as a man does not speak to an ant. But Lee is really different. The Old Gods thought he was even a part of themselves. Unlike those beings that were created by it. Because Li Zhen's genes—the ancient gods approved of this human interpretation of life forms—are so similar to it, and are becoming more and more similar, only in a slightly different way of expressing it. "Someone created a virus. I drank a little bit and it looked like it was working. Li Zhen felt that he had a hard time speaking—at least for a few minutes—and opened his mind to a limited extent." That's it. So I'm going to have to trouble you. “

Li Zhen is not a reckless man – at least not anymore. So he drank it for his own reasons. Because he knew that any form of gene expression was only a part of the life of the ancient gods. On this planet, any organism other than Gaia can be traced back to the same source, the Old Gods. In other words, there can be no virus or any other disease that cannot be cured by the person in front of you. Because even the disease itself is an ability possessed by the ancient gods, but it is not suitable for human beings, or they cannot adapt to that ability.

So he's also doing the same thing – getting more out of himself. For example, the gene expression of a virus that has never been seen in history. As he was eroded, he also absorbed it, so he was one step closer to the Old Gods, and he would become more powerful. In fact, he couldn't remember how many things he had devoured over the years, but each of them made him more complete, and more important in the "heart" of the person in front of him.

The old gods want to make up for themselves. The original aim was to get a strong force to leave Gaia. But then it saw hope in humanity and made concessions. This means that it is not a "dead eye", so Li Zhen got more.

The appointment was postponed a little. From 70 years to 70,000 years or 700,000 years or 700,000 years — who cares? Even 100 million years is only one-fortieth of the long life of the ancient gods.

However, this incident was not Li Zhen's intention. Because neither he nor Zeus expected it...... The so-called "Olympus" is even undefended for the Old Gods.

One of its limbs was first used by the dinosaur civilization and then by Zeus as the power source of that independent small world. But no one thought that the old god, who was cold and cruel in everyone's hearts, turned out to be a very tolerant and gentle guy - when one thing was in his favor. It knew what Zeus was doing. While Li Zhen and Zeus were discussing how to escape Gaia, there was actually another incomparably large listener. Luckily, the listener agreed.

The Old Gods quickly reached a consensus with Li Zhen in their own unique way, and offered a "good news" for free.

Gaia was trembling. Not trembling like humans. It's that the things in its core are "trembling"—beneath the earth's crust, there has long been a raging and boiling world. This is the rapid eye movement before waking up. For Gaia, the next moment it opens its eyes, stretches its body, breathes fresh air, and wipes its face – the dust and a mosquito off it.

Gaia's "next moment" means twenty to twenty-five years for humanity. So Li Zhen could only do something that he was not so happy to do. But even then, there are only 10 to 15 years left.

Therefore, as a large and lonely living being, it cannot understand why humanity is still entangled in such details - "conscience", "responsibility", "glory", "guilt" before the end or the day of liberation. These should be irrelevant and negligible in the face of the question of the survival of life.

But Li Zhen's explanation for it is that it is precisely because human beings are entangled in these problems that it is "God" and not "man" who are waiting to be saved now.

However, these problems did not prevent the ancient gods from solving the problem for Li Zhen. There was a sudden heavy rain in the sky, and Li Zhen was drenched in soup. But before that he had carefully bowed his head and protected his face. Because that's not rain. It's saliva.

This "whatever" water seeped into Li Zhen's body. Fix something, take away the things that make him uncomfortable, and return to the massive body again.

Maybe a spit of saliva made the old god feel that the "mood" was good, or maybe the experience of talking to "people" was also pleasant for him. It even took the initiative to ask, "How long?" “

Li Zhenzhi said that it was talking about the day of redemption. When the day comes. People will have three options.

The first option is to become disembodied that is no longer bound by anything tangible. People who exist in the "field" state can even travel in space. Just don't get too close to a "furnace" – like the sun. They will be truly free, freewheeling, able to simulate anything and anyone—in their own little worldly realm. Perhaps everyone can be the god of their own world, and they will have almost endless time to "have fun."

But no one knows what will happen to the "people" who exist in this state. Even the selection of astronauts requires extraordinary psychological quality, because astronauts will face completely different psychological experiences. That can be insane. No one knows what a society made up of such invisible people will look like, or even whether society itself will continue to exist.

Only the bravest, most radical, and most adventurous will choose this way to gain eternal life. But only the one with the most powerful strength can withstand this kind of transformation. Even if the bar could be lowered a little more in the future, there would be no more than 10 million people who are qualified to do so.

This first way, for now, is ripe - at least the Old Gods can bear it.

The second option is to migrate to Mars. Humans have so far not established permanent settlements on the surface of Mars, and this is because they have a better way of doing so. The space-based station in Earth-Moon orbit and the future "Infinite Deep Space" will remain on the surface of Mars after completing the first manned voyage, becoming the first "city" of mankind in its new homeland. The city can accommodate two million people and at the same time provide the necessities of survival for 30 million people.

Humanity will travel to its new homeland in batches over a period of five years. Those who arrive first become builders, building temporary settlements outside the "city" that can be inhabited by the next group. This process is inevitably accompanied by accidents, accidents, and a large number of deaths. But for the vast majority of people, it's predictable, secure, and reassuring.

But Li Zhen also doesn't know if everyone will eventually be able to land on the surface of another planet - although people have given it too much fantasy in literature - but this is the limit of what he can do. Maybe there will be people who do it better than him, but those people didn't have a chance to be on stage in the first place.

The third option, stay. And there are not a few people who have this tendency. Because not everyone thinks that the Old Gods are invincible - the progress of human space technology under the brutal rule has given them too much confidence. They believe that a civilization that has mastered the art of room temperature fusion should not be afraid of ancient creatures that "only" rely on physical strength. There are millions of people in this part, but they can only convey their dissatisfaction in their hearts because of the "obscenity" of the two emperors.

However, Li Zhen has decided to tell them everything at the end of the day - they are not dealing with the Old Gods, but the planet beneath their feet. One day people may have the ability to expedition to the stars, but not now. "If you're willing to choose the first way." Li Zhen said, "Now you can get out of here." You've done enough for me that I can take control of the situation on my own. "So you want me to choose the first one?" "Yes." Li Zhen said without hesitation, "Only by choosing the first way can you leave far away - leave those who have moved." They fear you, and so do I. For I do not know when other things will arise in the Dao, and you must destroy us to protect yourself. “

After a long, long moment, just when Li Zhen thought that this huge existence had once again ended the conversation between the two without warning, he heard the ancient god say in his own voice, "This is really sad. ”
