Chapter 818: Disillusionment in Life and Death
"If everything is as you said, our time travel does not change the space, but only goes to the future, then once the timeline is changed, this world will no longer exist, right?"
Xu Rui looked at King Wuling and muttered.
King Wuling nodded: "That's right, the people and things in this world, even the mountains, rivers, air, flowers and plants will not exist, but this world should not exist in the first place, it is a mistake, it is illusory, we must change all this." ”
Xu Rui was silent, stretched out a palm and opened it gently, as if trying to catch the flowing wind.
"No, this world is real, every grass and tree here is a living life, everyone here has flesh and blood, they are not a bunch of data in the system, nor are they cold numbers in the calculation formula."
When he said this, Xu Rui first thought of Princess Qixia's shallow smile and low eyebrows in his mind, and then Yang Weiyuan, Liu Yi, An Ge, Cao Siyuan, Zhang Zuofeng, and even King Yu, King Liao and Emperor Hongwei.
These people, good or bad, have appeared in Xu Rui's life, they may be limited by this era of ignorance, but they are so real, how can Xu Rui believe that they are illusory? Is it a mistake?
"The world is full of life, maybe we shouldn't deprive them of their right to exist......"
Xu Rui suddenly looked at the sky and muttered.
King Wuling was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said angrily: "No, this is a mistake, if this mistake persists, what about the tens of billions of dead people?" Aren't they real? Who will guarantee their fairness?
There is also the brilliant human civilization, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of an intelligent creature for tens of thousands of years, can you really watch human civilization be destroyed in one fell swoop, and then develop again from the current state of ignorance?
If this is the case, then human beings will lag behind more and more alien civilizations in the universe, not to mention avenging the great war of the year, just one day they will go and return, and we will not even have the strength to fight back!
And what about the dreams we've always had, have you forgotten? Are you really willing to live in such a small place and live a mediocre life? ”
"I just want to have a home......"
After listening to King Wuling's words, Xu Rui suddenly said lightly.
"What?"
King Wuling didn't seem to hear Xu Rui's words clearly, and he seemed to hear clearly but didn't understand, so he asked again.
Xu Rui looked at King Wuling and said, "Our dream all along is just to have a home, isn't it?" Whether it's walking across the galaxy or sweeping the universe, isn't it all for this purpose? ”
King Wuling was stunned when he heard this, suddenly took two steps, a flash of anger flashed on his face, grabbed Xu Rui's collar, gritted his teeth and said, "What about your mission?" Have you forgotten the oath we swore when we entered the base to do everything in our power to protect the last dignity of humanity?
How selfish is it for you to forget about the whole of human civilization and all those people who died in vain, just to hide in a comfortable corner for your own happiness?
Are you worthy of what all humanity expects of us?
What's the difference between your actions and rebelling against humanity?
We are soldiers, and we have the duty to defend humanity, and we should go forward bravely and give 100% effort even if there is even a glimmer of hope, right?
You've let me down so much! ”
Xu Rui was shocked when he heard this, and fell silent again, King Wuling felt that his words were heavy, but this was righteousness, and he didn't have to back down, and he didn't know what to say for a while, the two of them just looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
After a while, Xu Ruicai muttered, "Tell me, how are you going to go back?" ”
King Wuling was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I still remember that I told you just now that I was in charge of underground fortifications in Europe before the crossing, and it was because of careless operation that the energy reactor was overloaded that I was allowed to cross.
Theoretically, as long as we can find the original underground fortifications, and then reverse the energy reactor and overload the reactor again, we can open the reverse space-time channel and go back to the past. ”
As he spoke, King Wuling handed Xu Rui a thick stack of manuscript paper, and said: "This is my calculation process based on the situation at the time of crossing, as long as the energy output and overload time of the reactor are controlled, we can even accurately control the time range of crossing!" ”
Xu Rui took the manuscript paper, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face.
"If you guessed correctly, the underground fortifications you said are in Northern Qi?"
King Wuling nodded: "That's right, it's in Northern Qi, after that war, the global crustal plate has undergone a huge shift, the European plate has been fractured, part of it spans the entire Atlantic, and finally connects with North America, which is now Northern Qi!" ”
"No wonder you have been staring at Northern Qi all these years, but you haven't really destroyed Northern Qi ......"
Xu Rui muttered.
King Wuling said: "I also deduced this conclusion based on the results of geological surveys, but I didn't expect it to be guessed correctly, in the past few years, I have found the entrance to the underground fortifications in the southeast of Northern Qi, and even successfully entered it, and successfully found an intact reactor." ”
As he spoke, King Wuling's face gradually sank.
"It's just that after the violent plate movements, the underground fortifications are badly damaged, and for thousands of years, even if the reactor has been dormant, the core is about to cool.
There is only one month left, and if we can't go back together, then the reactor will stop working completely, and with the technology of this world, there is no possibility of restarting the reactor for at least a hundred years, and the only door for us to go back will be completely blocked. ”
"So when you find that time is running out, you will immediately move north and completely defeat the Great Wei?"
Xu Rui asked.
King Wuling nodded: "You guessed it right, whether I hold the power of the Southern Dynasty or train an invincible army, it's just to find the reactor and return to the original timeline."
As far as I am concerned, power and armies are just tools, and I have no interest in dominating the world or promoting the development of the world, and I am not even willing to spend more energy on these things.
The reason why I fought this last battle was actually to find you, and I wanted to go back alone to turn the tide, I don't have this confidence, but if you and I join forces, I will be sure to completely turn the situation around! ”
Xu Rui nodded: "I also guess that you should be in a hurry for something, and this big battle of the Northern Dynasty will not hesitate to leave so many hidden dangers and fight so fast."
It's just that I can't figure it out, since time is so short, why don't you come to me directly, but come to me after this battle? ”
King Wuling smiled: "Don't be angry, I never won against you when I was in the base in the battle simulation, and when I confirmed that you were Xu Rui, I became competitive and wanted to see if I could beat you this time." ”
Xu Rui was shocked when he heard this: "Just for this, you don't hesitate to kill so many people?" ”
King Wuling smiled and said: "If you don't get angry, how can you not die in a war?" ”
"You!"
Xu Rui's face suddenly turned red, and he was about to reprimand King Wuling angrily.
King Wuling hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, am I wrong?" I know that you are not like me, you only use the world as a tool, and you have feelings for the world.
In this way, you go back with me, I can leave everything in this world to the people you care about, including the entire Northern Dynasty, or even the entire Southern Dynasty, what do you think? ”
Xu Rui's pupils shrank, and now King Wuling has already controlled most of the entire Southern and Northern Dynasties in his hands, if you add the northwest in his hands, then it will not be far from dominating the world.
If you can give these resources to the people you care about, maybe you can make up for the regret of leaving to a certain extent, right?
It's just that there is one more person Xu Rui can't let go......
Thinking of Princess Qixia, Xu Rui's heart couldn't help but fall into a situation where heaven and man were at war.
