Chapter 559: The New Testament (5,000 words)
"I'm ...... Cheng Lin. β
The "voice" was so light that it could be heard, it came from a distant fertile land, but when it fell to the ear, it was as if someone was standing beside him and whispering.
It's just that this time, it was not only Andrei who was "heard", but also thousands of "spectators" in the base.
Cheng Lin?
People were pulled back to reality by the voice, their eyes staring blankly, not understanding what was happening at first, but soon, realizing that this was a conversation with each other across the savannah.
Cheng Lin...... This name ......" Andre was slightly stunned, and repeated this pronunciation jerky, probably because the injury was too serious, so he was dizzy, or the name was too far away after all, he didn't react for a while, only knew that this was obviously not the name of several other Jiupin pinnacles in the world, but he inexplicably felt a little familiar, as if he had heard of it.
"Cheng Lin ......" Dr. Harman and others, who were standing not far away, also unconsciously pronounced the name, and gave birth to emotions similar to Andre's.
Familiar...... It seems to have heard it, but it is very strange, and it seems to be a long time ago.
After all, two hundred years have passed, and on this world line, "projection" has only appeared for a few months, and then it disappeared, and the name "Cheng Lin" has gradually lost its popularity, not so that no one recognizes it, but "I don't often hear it", and besides, it is difficult to contact the mysterious person in front of me under inertial thinking.
After more than ten seconds, in the crowd, an Asian-faced person suddenly woke up and exclaimed, "Cheng Lin? You said your name is Cheng Lin?! The legendary Ascendant?! β
His loud voice, coupled with the quiet environment, instantly attracted people's attention, and after he reminded them, people finally realized why the name was "familiar".
Ascendant!
The name...... It is clearly the same name as the "first ascendant of the New Xia Kingdom" in the history books!
Legend has it that the Ascended One was a super-strong man who left the earth long before the revival of the aura and stepped into the sea of stars, and once projected the world back in some unbelievable way, which once caused a heated discussion around the world and effectively promoted the process of influencing the entire human civilization.
For example, many of today's technologies are derived from the discoveries obtained from projection, but according to historical records, projection only appeared for less than half a year before disappearing, and the ascendant never appeared in front of the public again.
This time, two hundred years have passed, when the first nine products were born, people still took "Cheng Lin" as the benchmark, thinking that above the nine products, they might be able to obtain the qualification to enter the sea of stars, however, then people found that the nine products seemed to have reached the peak.
Until now, no one has broken through this ceiling, and some people have even begun to doubt the original record, the existence of the "Ascendant", and the authenticity of the historical record.
No one could have imagined that today's plan to destroy the fertile soil would be unexpectedly thwarted by the mysterious monk, who would defeat Andre so easily with his terrifying extraordinary strength, and he claimed to be ...... It's called "Cheng Lin"!!
"Pseudonym...... It won't be ......"
One of the councillors muttered, trying to suppress the speculation in his mind.
"No, it's impossible......"
One of the directors was also pale and muttered to himself.
Obviously, there are only two possibilities, one is that the other party is unwilling to reveal their true identity, so they use a pseudonym, and the other is ...... The person in front of him is indeed the legendary figure hidden in history, and today, he has returned to his homeland!
As for duplicate names, you can rule them out!
However, these two speculations are unacceptable, the other party raised his hand to defeat the peak of the nine grades, needless to say, people also realized that he must stand in a higher realm! Beyond the nine grades, the realm that human beings have never explored!
This basically excludes the possibility of "pseudonym", this kind of super strong, why hide?
But if it's the latter...... That......
"You...... Are you ......?"
Andre, who was kneeling on the grassland, was in a trance and crumbling, in contrast, he was more inclined to the latter possibility, as a "witness" who personally felt Cheng Lin's strength, only he understood how powerful the other party was!
Perhaps, only this kind of strong person is in line with the identity of the "ascendant", right?
Of course, Andre still has a careful thought that he does not want to talk about, as one of the few people who stands at the pinnacle of mankind in this era, Andre has enough qualifications to be proud, and compared to being defeated so easily by a "contemporary" opponent, he hopes that the other party is an "immortal" who has crossed hundreds of years and returned from the starry sky!
It is a matter of course to be defeated by the "immortals", but not by contemporaries!
β¦β¦
Andrei is not the only one with similar sentiments.
Distributed all over the world, using special channels to watch this battle, the Nine Rank Realms from various countries and regions all had similar feelings at this moment, staring at the scene in the picture.
Thousands of miles away, they couldn't hear Cheng Lin's voice.
But through the broadcast, you can guess what happened from those exclamations.
Andre...... Defeated...... The defeat was so complete, so unsuspenseful......
The Nine Rank Monks who saw this scene, no matter where they were, had almost a look on their faces: lost soul, shocked, incredulous, a little happy, and ...... A little bit of irrepressible excitement!
They know very well how strong Andre is, so put themselves in their shoes and easily judge that if they replace Andre, they will definitely not perform better than him!
Out of a certain common mentality, they tend to the latter guess, as for the agitation...... is because they saw the possibility of continued promotion in Cheng Lin!
Human beings have been trapped in Jiupin for a long time!
One by one, the Nine Pins failed to attack, so much so that people began to wonder if the Nine Pins were already the limit of human beings, until now, Cheng Lin's appearance clearly told them that it was not! It's not the limit! There are also higher power levels!
β¦β¦
United Nations, Conference Hall.
The huge picture shows everything that happened as it is, when Andre was defeated, the audience was silent, and the needles could be heard, and after that, after Cheng Lin announced his name, the whole hall exploded again, and almost every participant changed their demeanor drastically, unable to keep calm, individual representatives, and even stood up directly.
Cheng Lin!
Two hundred years later, this already "long-abiding" name has once again appeared in front of people in such an unbelievable way!
Kana? Real name? If it is fake, which country is the monk of the other party? Why hasn't there been any news before? This is almost impossible, how can the birth of such a powerful monk be unmoved? Like popping out of nowhere?
But if it's true...... Could it be that the legendary figure really lived for so long, went around and around, stepped into the sea of stars, and returned hundreds of years later? How will this change the world? Is it good or bad? How to deal with it?
Loud, noisy...... The whole hall was no longer solemn and silent, and the room was boiling.
"Quiet! Be quiet! β
It wasn't until the people in the Security Council began to shout loudly that the people stopped talking and refocused their attention.
"Access to the front base! Access to the Forward Base! This matter is no longer something they can solve, and we ask for a dialogue with Cheng Lin! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Base.
The clouds are blowing on the boundless grassland, and the fertile grass is fluctuating like waves.
The appeal of the rear was quickly transmitted, and Dr. Harman and others forcibly suppressed the shock in their hearts and communicated with the rear, and some people went to get the healing potion and gave it to Andre, so as not to prevent this peak of the ninth grade, from being seriously injured and falling here.
During the whole process, Cheng Lin did not disturb them.
He still stood quietly on the platform, looking at the sky where the rain was getting lighter, the pouring rain had turned into a hazy light rain, and I believed that it would soon stop completely.
He knew that the other side must have become a mess, so he gave them a little time to calm down.
As for saying your name...... This is also the result of careful consideration, if you want to keep the fertile soil and avoid war, you must use a solution that is acceptable to both sides, as for how to do it, when Cheng Lin saw the "skills" given to him by the deduction program, he already knew how to deal with it.
"Although it is possible to end all this by force, it is always good to add an extra deterrent, and if you want people to accept the ending I give, you must always give them a reason to convince themselves, the identity of the 'mysterious man' is not good, although it is strong enough, it is full of unknowns, unsettling, and cannot be trusted, in contrast, with the help of the 'ascendant' symbol, which already exists, it should be easier for them to accept."
Cheng Lin stood in the drizzle and thought very intimately.
β¦β¦
Base.
Andrei was helped up and stabilized, and then someone whispered to him for a while.
It was passed from the rear, and it wanted to use Andre's mouth to conduct a negotiation with "Cheng Lin".
Although he is weak and needs to recuperate, he is still the most suitable to be present.
"I understand," Andrei nodded, and immediately calmed down, his deep gaze was full of complexity, looking far ahead, and said weakly: "What do you want to do?" β
He didn't ask Cheng Lin's identity, because that was not the most important thing.
After speaking, he tilted his head slightly, as if listening to something, this time, no voice appeared in the minds of the rest of the people, obviously, the other party was talking to Andrei alone.
No one had any doubts, in their minds, if the guess was true, then with the other party's "ascendant" personality, perhaps, only Andre was barely qualified to talk to the other party, and for the strong man who could cross the sea of stars, all the rules and regulations of the world were meaningless.
"Okay."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"I see."
The base was quiet, only Andre's voice came from time to time, and the expression on his face changed from nervousness, to surprise, and then to final complexity.
Finally, AndrΓ© turned around and looked at Haman, and without speaking, the latter had already understood, and hurriedly adjusted the equipment so that AndrΓ© could speak to the rear, and then, in a weak tone, he said:
Cheng ...... Mr. said that he hoped that both of us could stop the senseless attacks, and he hoped that we could leave the fertile ground...... Of course, he will also restrain the fertile soil so that the robots in it cannot invade human society even a step. β
Hearing this, Harman and the others were stunned, this answer seemed to be reasonable, when the other party made a move to intercept the psionic missile and defeat Andre, he had already made his position clear, but at this moment, it was still confusing to hear it.
The scene immediately fell silent.
Obviously, the rear side is holding urgent consultations, and it is a matter of fertile soil, which is not something that can be decided by one person, and what the outcome will be, it is also very important, if it was before, they would never agree, or if they agreed, they signed an agreement, it would still be false, but now, it is different.
They are facing a super strong person who is above the nine grades, suspected of being a "soarer", no one dares to bear the consequences of being enemies of the other party, although the nine grades are strong, they are not the only ones, they can contain each other and achieve a basic peace, but Cheng Lin is not in this balance.
And Cheng Lin did not urge, on the grassland, the breeze was gentle, and people could only wait quietly and pray secretly.
As the parties concerned, they have completely lost the intention of attacking at the moment, for fear that the rear will give a veto, once this happens, who knows if they will anger the other party? Those who were hiding behind were safe for the time being, but they were afraid that they would have to meet the wrath of the other party.
In this scorching atmosphere, time flies by, and every minute seems to be torment.
Finally, Andrei, who had received the reply, breathed a sigh of relief, he turned around, and in front of everyone, said: "We also want peace, and are willing to make an agreement with you...... Only, how do you make sure that the fertile soil doesn't hurt people? β
After a pause of two seconds, the thousands of people present heard Cheng Lin's voice again, and he seemed to chuckle:
"Draw up an agreement...... It doesn't have to be...... As for how to ensure ...... Very simple. β
Simple?
Andre was stunned, and then, as if sensing something, he suddenly looked up and looked into the distance!
After a while, even a mortal with the naked eye could clearly see that the dark clouds in the sky suddenly brightened, and instead of dispersing, they were reflected red.
"Flames!"
Someone exclaimed.
On the horizon, on the horizon, an orange-red flame rose up, it was low at first, but it rose in the wind, and in a few breaths, it penetrated the heavens and the earth, becoming a high wall of flames up to 10,000 meters, and quickly spread to this side!
β¦β¦
On the platform.
The blazing high temperature will be dried by the world soaked in heavy rain, and the white "mist" rises, rolls, like a fairyland for a while, Cheng Lin "amplifies" the "Eternal Burning Ring", and then pushes it directionally towards the huge grassland called the "isolation zone" outside the fertile soil city!
The flames dried the rain, scorched the clouds, and dispersed them, revealing a pure, clear blue sky.
If you look down from the sky, you will see that an incomparably huge "ring" that envelops the entire fertile urban agglomeration emerges and spreads rapidly.
On the grassland, the flames roared forward, and everywhere they passed, the grass and trees were burned and turned into pitch black, this scene was extremely spectacular, so that the viewers were all frightened, this scene was extremely fast, before the people of the base began to flee out of fear, they had swept thousands of miles of grassland, and stopped a hundred meters in front of them!
"Flames!"
"Flames!"
Thousands of people faced the wall of flames that almost reached the sky, as small as ants, and a large number of people retreated in horror, but it was difficult to organize an effective evacuation, only Andre and a few others did not move, still standing, staring at the fire that swept the prairie in an instant, their hearts swayed, and they were terrified!
"Closed!"
Suddenly, Cheng Lin's voice sounded in people's minds again, and the flame wall gradually faded away, and the wisps disappeared, but where it was originally located, a layer of "membrane" like a "heat wave" appeared.
This layer of "membrane" does not only appear here, the moment he spits out the word "closed", the whole fertile soil is the center, and the grassland burned into scorched earth is the boundary, and an incomparably regular circle appears, which is bounded by the ring, upward, and converges, becoming a "cover" similar to an inverted bowl.
A hood separated by a "membrane"!
Completely isolate the fertile soil from the outside!
When this hood was completely formed, Cheng Lin's voice resurfaced in the minds of thousands of people in the base:
"Since this grassland is called the 'isolation zone', it is better to take it as a boundary and make it a real 'isolation', so that from now on, the inside and outside will not interfere with each other, and human beings and the fertile soil will be at peace, so that ...... Do you accept it? β
Andre listened in a daze, then came back to his senses, he stepped forward with his weak body, came to the edge of this "membrane", stretched out his hand, did not touch, just closed his eyes at a distance and sensed for a moment, and then his eyes were complicated, and he sighed deeply.
Although he didn't try, with his eyesight at the peak of the ninth grade, he was enough to tell that this seemingly fragile boundary, I am afraid that even if his strength was intact, he would not be able to shake it even if he attacked with all his strength!
At this point, he had realized that no matter what the outcome of the discussion at the rear meeting was, it was a foregone conclusion in the end.
Whether to "conclude a contract" or not, or to "tear up a contract" or not, is equally meaningless.
Andrei smiled bitterly, shook his head, sighed deeply, and no longer waited for the answer from the rear, and said with emotion:
"We ...... Accept. β
"Very good," Cheng Lin's voice seemed to be very brisk, "Since that's the case, then I won't bother me anymore, you guys go back." β
"Yes." Andrei nodded, subconsciously turned around, then woke up suddenly, and hurriedly asked: "Then ...... you?"
"Me? Mission accomplished...... It's time for me to leave. In his head, the voice said softly.
Andrei was stunned: "Leave? Where are you going?! β
This was completely beyond his expectations.
There was no answer.
Andre was stunned, and immediately realized something, suddenly broke free from the support of the people next to him, staggered and ran a few steps under the confused and incomprehensible eyes of thousands of people, looked at the world inside the "membrane", and mustered up the remaining strength to shout loudly:
"Where are you going?!"
His voice echoed across the border between scorched earth and grassland, the clouds dispersed, and the sun poured down from the clear blue sky, illuminating the world.
This time, there was really no answer.
β¦β¦
Fertile World, end.
