Chapter 625: Seven Calamities
Out of his love for his son, Elder Xue asked the summoned person who was wearing his son's body: "Xiao Fei, how are you?" β
The summoned person exerted his left hand and lifted Elder Xue from the top of the Statue of Liberty in the air, and threatened: "I am not your Xiao Fei, your so-called Xiao Fei's star soul has become my slave and is cleaning up in my star soul world. If you mistake your identity again in the future, I will not only annihilate you, but also order your Little Flying Star Soul to blow itself up! Do you understand? β
"Understood, I will never do it again!" Elder Xue hurriedly responded.
"Tell me, who summoned me here?" The summoned person put it down, and Elder Xue continued to ask.
"It's contemptible people, but I'm following Venerable Mei's instructions."
The summoned person's torch-like gaze quickly swept over the crowd under the Statue of Liberty, and with his left hand, he exerted force in the air, and instantly lifted Mei Yingxue, who was watching closely, to the torch of the Statue of Liberty, and asked coldly, "Is it the summoning technique you discovered?" β
"Exactly." Mei Yingxue did not show the slightest hint of panic.
"It seems that I am really 'fated' with the two of you. You two were the ones who caused me to be besieged by vicious dogs like the Star Soul Shepherd, and left me seriously injured, and that's not even counting the resulting property damage. The summoned man's tone was majestic and mocking, "Even if you sell yourself, you can't afford to pay compensation!" β
Elder Xue wanted to speak and stopped; Mei Yingxue bowed her head and said, "I implore Immortal Venerable to help us expel the Star Soul Shepherd and fight for the opportunity for our earth to evolve freely." All of us Earth survivors will be rewarded with a straw ring! β
"How many surviving intelligent life are there on this planet where birds don't?"
"Due to the difficulties of the apocalyptic environment, transportation, communications, etc., we do not have accurate statistics; However, I am certain that there are people in Asia, Rice, Europe, Africa, and Oceania who have survived. The size of the survivors in the United States and Huaxia should be more than tens of thousands. The total number of people in the world will not be less than a few hundred thousand. β
"Hundreds of thousands of intelligent lifeforms?" The summoned snorted coldly, "After a few rounds with the Star Soul Shepherd, there will be not much left." You guys are just such a scale and strength, and you still want to fight for the opportunity to evolve freely, are you having a brain convulsion? β
"I beg the Immortal Venerable to show us a clear path!"
"Look at it with your eyes wide open, do I look like the kind of cultivator who goes around accumulating virtue and doing good? If it wasn't good enough, I would never interfere. β
"I don't know what benefits Immortal Venerable needs?" Hearing that the other party asked for benefits, Mei Yingxue was relieved.
"I have 3 conditions, as long as you can meet them, I can provide shelter to you earthlings within the scope of my ability and provide necessary guidance. First, I need to have more than 10,000 followers worship me every day. second, pay me at least 10,000 Star Souls every day; Thirdly, 10,000 tons of metal are transported every day at the location I designate. β
"This ......" Mei Yingxue was stunned for a while, then plucked up the courage to say: "These three conditions are not something that one or two of us can do. In particular, the second condition ......"
"I didn't say it must be a human star soul, you can also use an animal star soul to fill up."
"Understood, can Immortal Venerable allow us to think about it first, after all, this is a major cause that concerns the fate of many survivors and requires everyone to participate together."
"Yes. However, I can only give you 1 hour of your time. In 1 hour, I'm going to roam around. At that time, it will be very difficult for you to find me. β
"Yes, we will get back to you within 1 hour."
//////
Mei Yingxue immediately used her teleportation ability to find Lin Zaishan, who was treating the wounded on the ground, and informed the situation in the simplest language.
"Kobayashi, it's not easy to agree on this matter within one hour. Do you have any good suggestions? β
"We can't make decisions for the entire planet; However, leaders of local forces such as the Saints of the End Days, the Gamers Club of the End of the World, the Black Diamond Syndicate, and the House of Survivors can be invited to participate and ask them to make decisions on behalf of their factions. β
"Great idea!" Mei Yingxue understood it at a glance, "Xiaolin, let's go our separate ways and inform the leaders of these forces. I guess they're all around and watching. β
//////
Fifteen minutes later, the leaders of several major forces in New York, Lin Zaishan, Mei Yingxue, Elder Xue, and Sophia gathered in Central Park.
Mei Yingxue said: "Everyone: The situation has been sent to you with a consciousness code, and the next priority is to reach a consensus and give that strong man a clear answer." Let everyone have their own opinions. β
Cassidio, the general manager of the Society of Latter-day Saints, said: "Ms. May, I wonder if this strong man claims to be the spokesperson of the will of the gods? β
"No, on the contrary, he is like a businessman."
"In this case, we of the Latter-day Saints Society have no reason to be his enemy, and we can consider satisfying his conditions, but we will not agree with the first condition."
"I already know what Chief Casidio means. What is Mr. Morpheus's attitude? β
"As long as we can get mankind out of the last days, we are willing to serve; However, we only have the obligation to be as much as we should. β
"Reasonable." Mei Yingxue turned her gaze to Brundage, the new leader among the survivors of Beimi.
Brundage said: "If this strong man can provide practical protection for our survivors, so that we can be free from the interference of the Star Soul Shepherd and more people can be promoted to the sixth or even seventh level, not to mention the three conditions, even five will not be a problem. β
"Great! Let's see what the attitude of the Black Diamond Group is. Everyone looked at the big guy in the most advanced mech. The mecha covered his figure and face, and no one could see his appearance, except for Lin Zaishan.
"The Black Diamond Group never believes in any savior, nor does it care about any savior plan." "On behalf of Black Diamond, I would like to make a statement: Black Diamond has no interest in what you are going to do, and everyone is going their own way; If your actions endanger the interests of the Black Diamond, not only will we not support it, but we will sanction and crack down on it depending on the severity of the situation! β
Black Diamond's "loud" statement annoyed representatives of several other forces. Morpheus scoffed, "It sounds like the people of the black diamond have already gotten into the eyes of the money, why don't you go to hell to develop?" β
Brundage from the North Mi Survivors' House also mocked: "I guess hell thinks they're too evil and shrewd to accept it." β
Black Diamond's mecha personnel were not angry at all, and responded proudly: "Black Diamond always acts according to the logic of profit maximization, and no one wants to influence Black Diamond's will!" β
"Really? Hopefully, black diamonds will always be true to their true color. Lin Zaishan smiled slightly, and secretly injected a large amount of consciousness code into the mecha before the black diamond left the scene.
Mei Yingxue said: "Time is pressing, since Black Diamond has no intention of joining, we will no longer be reluctant." On behalf of the Huaxia Church, I, Mei Yingxue, announced that I would go all out to participate in and support this action. I will defend the Earth, its civilization, and its people to the death, and our Templar will find ways to mobilize the survivors to meet the three conditions of the powerful man in order to obtain his protection and guidance. This goal will never be achieved and will never be stopped. If I myself have two hearts, I can't die well, and the star soul will be tortured forever! β
After she finished her oath, she said to everyone: "The other of you are all well-known and powerful people on the earth of the end times, and your will represents the will of your own forces, and to a considerable extent, the will of the survivors of the end times. Please take an oath in the here and now. β
Brundage, Morpheus, Cassidio and others also followed Mei Yingxue's example and swore an oath on behalf of their own forces.
Sophia asked curiously, "Is it my turn to take the oath with Zhalin?" β
Mei Yingxue waved her hand, "Sophia, you can't represent Bison Bill; Kobayashi, you can't represent the Dreadnought team right now. So, you two don't have to take an oath. However, there are many important things that you need to participate in and help with! The big eyes flashed a few times at Lin Zaishan.
"No problem." Lin Zaishan interpreted a lot of other information from Mei Yingxue's eyes.
"Good. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the combined manpower and material resources of the four major forces of the Doomsday Saints Society, the Apocalyptic Gamers Club, the Survivors' House, and the Huaxia Templar will be enough to meet the three major conditions of that strong man for a long period of time. In order to act in unison, I proposed the establishment of a coordination committee for the cooperation of the four major forces, with several of us as committee members, and Ying Xue Bucai recommended herself as the chairman of the committee. What do you think? β
"We agree!"
"Now it's time to reply to that strong man, please come with me!"
//////
Mei Yingxue led several sixth-level bosses to the torch of the Statue of Liberty and explained the situation to the summoned.
"Good!" The summoned smiled slightly, "Seeing how sincere you are, I am offering you some guidance on how to get out of the last days today. β
Mei Yingxue, Lin Zaishan and others all excitedly pricked up their ears to listen.
"First of all, I want to remind you that it is easy to banish the Star Soul Shepherd, but it is difficult to fight against the end-time judgment system. If you want the entire civilization of the earth to have a chance to survive, you must be prepared for a long and arduous struggle. β
"I believe that most of our Earth survivors would be willing to endure all kinds of hardships and pay a high price if they knew that there was hope of expelling the Star Soul Shepherd from the end times."
"Really? A civilization that grows in the middle of nowhere is not worth looking forward to at all. "The summoned make no secret of their contempt for the earthlings.
"May I ask Immortal Venerable, what do we need to do to achieve our goals such as expelling the Star Soul Shepherd?"
"The Star Soul Shepherd is an emissary sent to the lower planes by the Acting Committee of the Galactic System of the Higher Plane, with the purpose of harvesting and managing the lower civilizations that have been judged by the end times. In the eyes of the Galactic System Acting Committee and even the entire high-level plane beings, civilizations like you earthlings are despicable and cattle-like existences. Your only valuable resource to the Higher Planes is the Star Soul. Star souls are extremely mysterious and mysterious beings, and it is rumored that they are the ultimate reality and primordial incarnation of the galaxy world. Even in the higher planes, Star Souls cannot be industrially produced. But the star soul is so important, they are energy sources, and they are also the medium and carrier of various advanced technologies and facilities. It can be said that without a steady supply of star souls, there would be no prosperous high-level plane civilization. β
"That's why the high-level plane wants the Star Soul Shepherd to come to Earth to harvest our Star Soul, right?"
"Not bad! However, a harvest of this magnitudeβessentially a slaughter of the lower intelligent lifeβmust be approved of the will of the galactic system, or it will be damned. To this end, the Acting Committee of the Galaxy System used a large number of senior coders to deduce the system of eschatological rules and develop the eschatological system to provide a grand 'legal basis' for the harvest. β
"It seems that the so-called advanced civilization is actually just a more cruel and barbaric civilization." Mei Yingxue was indignant.
"You're right!" The summoned person didn't even get angry at this sentence, "Therefore, if you earthlings want to survive, you earthlings must not only expel the Star Soul Shepherd, but also have to fight against the entire apocalyptic judgment system and rule system. β
"How can we do this?"
"With your own power alone, you earthlings don't stand a chance at all! Your only possibility is to use the power of the rules against the power of the rules. β
"The power of rules? Please also ask the Immortal Venerable to make it clear. β
"Simply put, you must fight according to the rules of the last days. According to the rules of the eschatological judgment, as long as the low-level civilization being judged passes the test of the seven plagues, it will obtain the qualification of a legitimate medium-level civilization. The Galactic Acting Committee has no power to destroy legitimate mid-to-high-level civilizations. β
"What are the seven calamities?"
"The first plague: meteorites from the sky; Second Calamity: Zombie Mutation; The Third Calamity: Alien Beast Frenzy; Fourth Calamity: Natural Fury; Fifth Calamity: Zerg Colonization; Sixth Calamity: Star Soul Fury; Seventh Calamity: Desperate Showdown. β
"I can probably guess the first five plagues, but what are the sixth and seventh plagues?"
"I can only tell you about the sixth plague, as for the seventh plague, hehe, the heavenly machine must not be leaked; Otherwise, we will be damned. β
"We're listening,"
"The so-called Star Soul Rage refers to the fact that in the process of evolving from a low-level Star Soul to a mid-to-high-level Star Soul, various accidents and loss of control will inevitably occur. At first, it was an isolated phenomenon; But it will soon spread into a global problem as the star souls infect each other. In severe cases, the intelligent life of the entire civilization will be infected with disease and fall into a state of rage. In the state of star soul rage, intelligent beings will lose their reason, fight and kill each other. Many civilizations that have undergone eschatological judgment have been destroyed at the hands of this sixth plague. β
Mei Yingxue sighed, "Fighting endlessly has always been the tradition and habit of our earthlings, and it is already like this without the end of the world. β
The summoned said, "Only by defeating the seven plagues can you have the legal right to live." β
