--The Second Universe, East's Home Star--

East's home planet, the center of East's civilization and politics and a symbol of its spirit, is a man-made planet that can be called a miracle, with the world's largest forests and oceans, and the deliberately shaped contradiction between life and death, the similarities and differences between man-made and natural, worthy of the masterpieces of contemporary mainstream art - this is the largest art planet in the world, after all, no one will waste too much material in this underutility.

The temple, the spiritual support of every Easter, a normal citizen will have three opportunities to enter the temple in his life: enter after birth, conduct a full physical examination and determine whether it has the possibility of awakening, and then all babies will be initially strengthened, and at the same time implant identification ID and auxiliary brain (built-in private computer); Entering at the age of twelve: Perform adult baptism, where everyone undergoes further physical enhancement, and those with awakened abilities will also awaken their abilities at this time; Post-death entry: In general, the body is kept fifty years after death and sent to the temple for disposal, returning to the material cycle of the world, of course, in special cases, the retention time of the body can be shortened but not extended.

Because of the generally low birth rate in the region of East, citizens of a region are sent to the temple at the same time every year, in the early hours of September 2 - the day of the whole of East's tribulation and rebirth, the birthday of civilization in the hearts of every people.

-- Second Universe, Milky Way, Central Black Hole --

Distorted space, chaotic radiation, a best place for vulnerabilities to breed, after all, even any abnormal fluctuations will be drowned in the flood of data, but who can cause trouble in such a place?

The spaceship took such a seemingly impossible hole, and the silver-white hull suddenly jumped out of the edge of the "horizon" as if it had been squeezed out, and flew away slowly and quickly in defiance of the huge gravitational pull.

It is not so much a flying ship as a flying saucer, and the entire hull is in the shape of a clear three-ring concentric circle: the outer ring, the application area, the area with the most concentrated attack weapons, the docking place of various small ships, a total of 16 ports in all directions, wartime collection and release of warships, peacetime pick-up and drop-off of living ships; Central, the living ring, a resting place for all people, a place for leisure and entertainment, a social system that can carry 50,000 people if necessary, is the largest part of the whole ship; The inner ring, also known as the "central collaborative supervision and command room", assists the central brain of the spacecraft itself in managing the entire system, which generally has different rights and obligations in peacetime and wartime to achieve mutual checks and balances and cooperation, but this is not the case in a special case; The center, the energy core, is the main and sometimes the only provider of energy for the entire spacecraft, and there is a very special part directly above this energy core - the Supreme Leader's Room.

The Supreme Leader's Chamber, a place where there are usually no people at all, because there are only two people in the entire universe who are qualified to enter, but this spaceship is undoubtedly a lucky one.

"Vivina, the central brain of the small exploratory space city, reports." In the bright space, a little girl appeared on a slightly gray wall, and although she looked a little nervous, she still spoke very seriously. As I just introduced, this "flying saucer" living area is too large, and it is obviously not a combat ship, but a small space city.

"Now that we have reached the second universe, the coordinates are perfect and the energy shield has been opened; The ship's integrity is being checked - the hull is intact and the systems are functioning properly; Detecting the laws of the local universe - Begin to analyze and blend, please wait a moment - Laws are blended to complete, and the matter is in harmony - Harmony is completed. ”

"Do you have any questions or suggestions at the end of this report?" Although the girl's expression in the video seems to be relatively calm, the gradual focus of the camera and the adjustment of the sound receiver at this time have betrayed her heart at this time?

"Yes." Still the same long silver hair, black robe, mature but handsome face with a gentle smile, always make people unconsciously sink into it, he turned to look at the image of the central brain, tilted his head, and then unscrupulously narrowed his eyes, the smile was even better.

The little girl's image suddenly trembled a few times because of the energy flow, and her panicked voice came: "Yes...... Is it? Please bring it up and I'll be sure to correct it! ”

"Vivina, your unchanging shy personality is really interesting, but I like it more when it's more natural." He turned back and looked at the other transparent wall, admiring the beautiful starry sky outside, and his tone was slightly cheerful.

"Huh?!" Her eyes widened, and the camera was fully extended and began to shift slightly, trying to reconfirm what she had received, but it was too late.

"The S-level order was issued, and the Central Intelligence Brain Vivina and the Central Collaborative Supervision and Command Room listened to the order: time, until the end of the order issuance, I took the initiative to ask for information connection; contents, severing all communication between the hull and the Supreme Leader's Chamber, during which all activities are under the sole responsibility of both of them, acting according to the original plan. ”

"Yes!" She didn't care about anything else, her expression was solemn, and then she reluctantly put away the camera, cutting off all the energy supply in this room, the light of the whole space dimmed, and the starry sky outside the transparent wall appeared clearer and brighter. The promulgation of orders has authority settings, and high-authority orders are unquestionable under normal circumstances, and the S-level is already the highest, and she has no right to violate it.

This seemingly extremely powerful man watched with interest for a while, and then said lightly: "You say, if you let the people outside know that the leadership room they regard as a holy place has become a smuggling house, will they eat you alive?" ”

At this time, the space behind him was slightly distorted, and an old man who seemed to be fifty or sixty years old but still in good spirits stepped out, appeared behind him, and waved his hand disapprovingly, "It's a small thing, but it's a pity, in a few days it will be the day when our community chooses the best resident of the year, in the past, I was elected, this time there is no possibility." With that, he took a step forward with his hands behind his back and stood side by side with the former, admiring the darkness and flickering they were tired of seeing.

"Ding-SS-Class Communication and Command: Final Stage, Act 1 is nearing its end, and the results have been evaluated: 99.95% overall accuracy of the target, 99.96% perfection, and the current evaluation is: no correction is required. Coming to the second act, please Priest Ingu and Priest Otes? Roman was in place in time. Again, the cold voice rang in the minds of the two of them without warning.

"Understood." The two responded in unison, the silver-haired middle-aged man was named Yinggu, and the old man was named Otes? Roman.

Yingu detoured behind the old man and put one hand on the latter's shoulder, "Let's go, you are more proficient in this area." ”

"Hey, if you want to be lazy, just say it." Alt&S rolled his eyes but didn't break away, raised his right hand, his wrist flashed a metallic sheen, and then a bracelet-like object suddenly appeared on his wrist, which was originally empty. The bracelet that suddenly appeared with the old man's surprisingly delicate and slender hands was not abrupt, and the gray-black surface was covered with facets and edges, and there were four strange and quaint words engraved on it, but it seemed looming because of the interference of complicated edges and corners.

Suddenly, the bracelet faintly flashed with light, and the originally empty room instantly turned into a vast sea of stars, and the two of them seemed to be adrift in it. The left index finger stretched forward, and the seemingly distant planet in this small space was rapidly approaching and magnifying, and when it stopped, the fingertips resided in front of a blue planet, as if they had touched something, and then the brilliance bloomed, quickly drowning the two of them, and then there seemed to be a huge attraction at that point, sucking in everything in front of them before the light spread further. When everything returned to normal, everything in the closed room was intact except for the disappearance of people, except that the transparent wall had somehow returned to its original state.

"Verified, in place."

――――

There will be a temple in the administrative center of every settlement, no matter which country, as long as it is the direct ruling area of civilization, everyone walking on land or flying in the air, when they see the slowly floating disc-shaped building, they will unconsciously feel close, and every year on the first day of September, everyone's eyes are gathered here. But there is only one place where this is not the case - the home planet of East, because it is the common location of the capitals of the four countries, so this spiritual symbol can only be located in the center of this artificial planet.

"It was an uplifting time, and once again the temple was witnessing the infusion of a new batch of blood. The temple is the condensation of our entire civilization, symbolizing the care of all people, representing the spirit of freedom, equality and pursuit of all people, and giving the most sincere wishes and care to every grower who comes out of here...... Every time I see you sitting here, I can't help but think of how excited I was when I waited for the bell to ring the next day, a sign that we were part of the world...... Everyone, good adulthood, adulthood means that you can enjoy higher authority, and you want to ...... back then."

In the simple and magnificent hall, hundreds of young men and women sat elegantly and subtly in chairs, smiling, quietly listening to the speech of the host on the stage, not squinting, and not even seemingly caring about the minute hand that had turned nearly twice next to them.

At this time, a young man moved his body slightly to the side, his facial expression remained unchanged, his eyes still maintained attention, but his neck was tilted to the same side, and his small mouth was slightly open but his lips did not move: "You say, how can this old guy say that?" It's been two hours, he's not tired, we're tired of it, and the Interstellar Network News is actually blocked here, and the deputy brain can't be connected at all. ”

The boy next to him also tilted his head slightly and whispered, "Okay, let's just this time, bear with it." Besides, don't you think he's tired of it? As far as I know, this guy has repeated this passage eighty times. ”

"Hey, how do you know?" The former was a little surprised by this.

"Have you forgotten, my father is the head of the cultural supervision department, and he comes every time, and I hear him say that every time he comes here, he turns on the text generation system and the monitoring system and then blocks the voice, because he doesn't want to listen to this nagging...... "This is the case, although these children are mature enough, and they think that they have done this enough to cover up, but they are still too naïve.

――

"Yo, this is a strange anecdote, I didn't expect that even the conscientious Lord Oran actually tried to avoid things." In the room of relatives and friends on the second floor, a group of people sat by the glass wall, all staring down with interest, the perception system turned to the highest, carefully observing the reactions of all the teenagers, of course, not surveillance.

"Uh," Oran, who is the head of the Department of Cultural Supervision, looked at the people around him who were on a par with his own with a joking face, and suddenly cried and laughed, "Hey, you don't know why, and there is nothing I can do about this errand." Especially you, don't laugh. He was even more angry when he saw the young man who was laughing the most in the back.

Nicknamed the King, he restrained his smile slightly, and then couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, no matter when and where, the temple host can't get rid of the smelly and long problem, otherwise it would be more popular." As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded involuntarily in agreement.

Although it is said that you enter the temple three times in a lifetime, people still have the opportunity to enter with each other every time they come in, and as far as the coming-of-age ceremony is concerned, there are always people who like to come, not so much because they are worried about their growth, but because they are going to see how they survive the "two-hour speech." The Temple's "two-hour oratorium" is a "characteristic tradition" that can be said to be almost the only stain in the eyes of citizens, but it is impossible to get rid of the process. Every normal citizen will suffer such a devastation once, so they will come here more than once to watch their juniors "suffer", which is considered a well-intentioned prank.

――

When the time was set at 11:50 a.m., this set of "tempered" and vetted statements came to a perfect end: "Okay, the clock is about to strike at midnight, and in ten minutes, your identity will no longer be a seedling under the protection of your respective countries, try to grow up, this is the starting point!" After repeating the speech he had repeated nearly eighty times, everyone in the hall stood up excitedly, and the warm applause lasted for a long time, as if to applaud the wonderful speech of this supporter.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the business was about to begin later, all of which had been carefully arranged, and a few minutes had also been set aside for the group of children to applaud and adjust their state, "Now please all come with me, but the Abilities will stand on the right, and the Unawakened Abilities will go to the left, and we will soon begin the coming-of-age baptism for you." ”

"Although many people already have an understanding of baptism, I have to introduce it to you again for the sake of the process," he took the two parties around the front desk, and turned back to everyone while leading the way, "The procedures of the two of you are actually no different, but the person who awakens the ability bears a lot more energy liquid, and you must be concerned about this research, that part of the energy is not blessed much in the body, and we have already had preliminary results in the specific direction...... His speed of speech has obviously nearly doubled, and when he arrived at the collective baptismal platform, the last word was just spit out, yes, it was still good.

As his words fell, a platform appeared in front of everyone, and more than two hundred transparent hemispherical platforms rose from below, and the transparent cover opened from the middle, the baptismal platform. A message was received in everyone's mind, according to which everyone corresponded to their position at the first time, and then stepped in—the "card wipe" glass cover merged, and the green liquid quickly filled -- at twelve o'clock.

"Adult baptism, begin."

"Ding--The priests are in place, the target natal formation has been activated, and now the information is checked:"

"No. 9: Nangong Hui, Natal Formation: Induction Array, Talent: Guidance, Basic Skill: Fifth Order Cultivator."

"No. 8: Zhang Ye, Natal Formation: Kinetic Yuan Array, Talent: Braking, Basic Skill: Fifth Order Cultivator."

"No. 7: Shangguan Yue'er, Natal Formation: Jieyuan Array, Talent: Mutagenesis, Basic Skill: Fifth Order Cultivator."

"No. 6: Zhou Bin, Natal Formation: Yuan Array, Talent: Deception, Basic Skill: Fifth Order Cultivator."

"No. 5: Ouyang Chengfeng, Natal Formation: Dangyuan Formation, Talent: Waves, Basic Skill: Cultivator Fifth Order."

-- Second Universe, Earth --

In the early hours of the morning, under the slightly deserted city, there was a huge underground space, and everyone stopped what they were doing and locked their eyes on a metal cabin.

There were five hemispheres filled with green sap in the cabin, in which the five teenagers were constantly floating and spinning due to buoyancy and currents, and the clothes on their bodies were long lost due to the strong corrosiveness of the liquid. The liquid was updated again and again by the injector to ensure the purity of the energy in it, and they had been in this environment for nearly two hours without any response, if it weren't for the normal display of the instruments, the people outside would have forcibly stopped it, instead of gathering outside in a daze like hell.

In the enclosed space, cracks suddenly appeared in the five transparent covers, and then they exploded one after another, and the powerful impact caused a huge sound to penetrate the cabin and reverberate throughout the basement.

After landing steadily, the five people put on the clothes sent by the mechanical arm before slowly opening their eyes, and the five strange eyes showed pure white, one red and one blue, pure black, light gray and light cyan, and the brilliance flowed, extremely smart.

Ouyang Chengfeng raised his hand slightly, and the little green liquid that had been splashed out of the explosion quickly floated, gathered and finally transformed into a dark blade, his pupilless cyan eyes stared at the knife in front of him, and then nodded: "It is indeed an incredible power." With that, he raised his hand and commanded the long knife to slash towards the still closed hatch......

――

"Four: Daisy? Oulan, Natal Formation: Derivation Array, Talent: Leader, Basic Skill: Fifth Order Cultivator. ”

"No. 3: Ling Ning, Natal Formation: Guiyuan Formation, Talent: Space, Basic Skill: Fifth Order Cultivator."

――

All the people present who were awake, including those on the second floor, came to the venue, and there was a dead silence in the venue of the University. Of the two hundred baptisms, all the others have withdrawn, and only two are still absorbing the energy.

"Fifty years of skill...... It's an extra fifty years of skill. The host's trembling voice said what everyone had not said, and it had been two hours since the baptism began, and the two girls had still not reached the limit.

Suddenly, something even more surprising happened: the ball cover, which had never been damaged, actually cracked from the middle, or more precisely, was neatly divided. The juice ran out, the girl's hand shook, and two sets of clothes suddenly appeared beside them, and then automatically pasted and put on. One pair of eyes swirls in seven colors, and the other pair is pure silver-white.

For the first time, for the first time, someone will complete the entire baptism process while awake.

――

"Two: Snow? Fisa, natal formation: breaking the Yuan array, obtaining the inheritance of "Ten Thousand Swords", basic skills: the fifth order of cultivators. ”

――The Third Universe,The Heart of the Demon Domain〜

"Ah, good day!" The red sun has set, and the sun is about to put away the last rays, the young man leaned on the edge of the stone seat, and there was a middle-aged man lying on it, the middle-aged man glanced at the red glow in the sky, and sighed unexpectedly.

"Don't say it, I've never seen you so bold as you to dare to come to the Holy Land to wander around, if it is found that I have been shielding you for nearly three days, they will have to pick my skin."

"Didn't you notice it?" The man didn't have the composure he should have, but he grinned, but then he was silent again, and sighed faintly for a long time, "Then again, I've been here long enough, it's time to go." ”

As soon as these words came out, the young man's mood was also a little low, although they had only known each other for less than three days, but this person who claimed to not remember his identity always had a deep charm, which made him feel relaxed and hearty, "Will you see you again?" Even in the end, he didn't ask for the person's name or provenance.

"Let it be, but, in return for your hospitality these days, I'll give you a little gift." With that, his body shifted sharply, his index finger was pointed at the center of the boy's eyebrows, and then the whole person turned into a ray of light and rose into the sky, and it was fleeting.

――

"No. 1: Ling Yun, Natal Formation: Mixed Yuan Array, Talent: Domination, Basic Skill: Cultivator Fifth Order."

――

On the soft bed, he fell asleep deeply, but the frowning brow from time to time was a sign that he was not sleeping well.

The huge clock on the opposite side was ringing, and the hands that had passed four o'clock in the morning were still rotating.
