It's a lonely satellite.

It is lonely not because it is so far away from other stars - the identity of the satellite predestined it to be affected by a nearby planet - but because it is so far the only star in its own universe that may have produced life, or even already has life. But no one dares to say anything about it without careful investigation.

Viewed from outer space, this is a gray-white satellite. Gray because almost the entire star is covered in a thick layer of ice – flowing water beneath the ice where life is likely to be born, and gray because the light of nearby stars is mostly obscured by the planets around it, causing the moon to be dim and muddy all year round, like dusk.

The reason why we say that the ice cover is "almost" is because near the satellite equator, a tall stone pillar suddenly rises, and this stone pillar completely defies basic physical knowledge, and the upper and lower diameters are similarly different, as if a huge nail was artificially driven into the ice......

In fact, it is indeed man-made, but it is not an ordinary person, but an immortal.

After countless hours of loneliness and coldness, another group of immortals finally landed in this universe, projected and set foot on this satellite, and they surrounded the stone pillar that towered in the sky.

Feng Heran was the first to ask, "This is where the seal of the earth is?"

Zhang Lu corrected his words: "It's just one end of the triangular sealing point. ”

Most of the people present were the "new immortals" who had just ascended to the Heavenly Realm, including Lin Xinning, Feng Heran, Sui Feng and Wei Wencheng, a total of nine - Zhang Lu's work in the "Xuanqi Realm" has achieved initial results, of course, there are also a few of them who have not completely matured, and he spent a little effort to break through the realm in advance, maybe the foundation is not very solid, but even if the other party knows the truth, he has no complaints.

- Who doesn't want to ascend to the Heavenly Realm one day earlier? If the foundation is not solid, wouldn't it be over if we wait for the Heavenly Realm to take a little more time to build a solid foundation? If we break through the realm and ascend according to the normal progress, what if we suddenly die on the last day, leaving behind complete regrets?

These new immortals are not familiar with the situation in the heavens - in fact, they only need to roughly understand the characteristics of the super three-dimensional with their own induction system, as for the vastness of the thirteen quadrants, they are basically barren and lifeless, no matter how wide the range of travel, in fact, it is not very meaningful—but in terms of the breadth of knowledge, they may have gone far beyond those wandering immortals outside the "Dragon Slayer Clan". The reason is also very simple, Zhang Lu took them to the earth for a short period of time to "study".

It is also interesting to say, as a purely mechanical society, it is theoretically impossible for earthlings to cultivate immortals, and there is no hope of ascending to the sky, that is to say, they cannot leave the original dimension and reach the super-three-dimensional world. However, with regard to the origin of life (with the exception of the origin of human beings themselves), the development of human beings, the evolution of society, the exploration of the universe, and even the estimation and conjecture of the high-dimensional world, the earthlings have left their peers far behind, and in some fields they have even surpassed the immortals.

Suo Tai once said with a wry smile: "Earthlings are the lords of the earth, and in comparison, we seem to be just ants and insects in the sky." Standing high, but seeing not very far...... he even advocated that the immortals of the "Dragon Slayer Team" should be projected to the earth for a relatively long period of further study, just because there were still insufficient manpower in the heavens and the work could not be separated, so he gave up for the time being.

But Zhang Lu said: "When I drum up more new immortals to come up, it will reduce the pressure on our work, and your ideas may not be able to work at that time...... It's a good idea to go to training in shifts. ”

"Otherwise, when the number of immortals on the earth increases, I'm afraid we will be completely outdated. Suo Tai responded to Zhang Lu like this. Zhang Lu immediately raised his eyebrows: "Oh, are you willing to help us lift the seal?" Suo Tai was not pretentious, and replied bluntly: "It's a pity that there are too few immortals like me who are willing to reach out, and you can't muster the manpower to lift the seal." When the people are almost there, you can count me as a share. ”

Therefore, now Suo Tai has also followed, and naturally there are three "remnants of the earth" who have accumulated for many years - Zhang Lu, Wei Qiang and Sanwu - a total of thirteen immortals have gathered in this nameless satellite in the nameless universe.

The immortals hung in the thin atmosphere of the satellite, forming a circle around the stone pillars. If measured according to the earth's universal scale, the diameter of this satellite is more than 6,000 kilometers, about half that of the earth, and the diameter of the stone pillar is about 500 or 600 meters, but the height is more than 500 kilometers, the ratio is 1:1,000. But this is not the whole picture, as the tip of the pillar protrudes out of the moon's atmosphere, and then disappears instantly, revealing only an irregular and often shifting cross-section, for the real end has actually pierced the boundaries between dimensions and extended into the gap between space-time.

Sui Feng tried to get closer, stretched out his hand and gently touched the stone pillar, and suddenly asked Zhang Lu: "Have you already made up your mind to unlock the seal of the earth?"

San Wu nodded and asked him, "What other doubts do you have?"

Sui Feng sighed softly: "In my opinion, in addition to still being unable to get rid of the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death, the lives of nearly half of the earthlings are already much more comfortable and happy than those of mortals in other worlds and even some of the cultivators. ”

Wei Qiang said with a smile: "It is true that the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, but the blessings obtained by the people of the earth are not the blessings they deserve, and the disasters that come must also be tasted by themselves." A flower in a greenhouse, it will never live for itself. ”

Lin Xinning said: "It's better to try to use the earth as a model to transform other three-dimensional worlds and greatly improve science and ...... The level of science and technology has greatly improved the productivity ......"

Sanwu shook his head: "It's difficult, it's difficult." Under the premise that there is a breakthrough in cultivating immortals and breaking through the realm, it is difficult for mortals to achieve principled changes in technology and social form. Besides, the amount of material that must be consumed to create a peak cultivator is astronomical, and it is therefore difficult to accumulate social wealth. The earth is like a noble man who eats all day long and has nothing to do, but once something can interest him, good physical fitness is destined to produce results quickly; other worlds are like a poor man who is always half-starved and malnourished, if you let him put down his work and eat up his savings, even if he preaches that the future will be infinitely bright after eating fat, he will not listen. ”

Wei Qiang also said: "And to lead rather than forcibly transform many nether realms, it is not enough for us people to rely on - if the forced transformation can only produce some insects that are completely subdued under the authority of high-dimensional life, lack of independent ability, and it is even more difficult to cultivate and ascend - if the seal of the earth is lifted first, when the initial chaos is overcome, it is expected to form a steady stream of ascension, maybe at that time, we will have the strength and energy to transform other netherworlds." ”

San Wu suddenly asked: "I don't know how long it will take for the earth to really start the path of cultivating the truth after the seal is lifted, and how long it will take for there to really be a realm breaker who comes up through the normal path, but have you ever estimated how often the earthlings will soar when everything is on the right track?"

Suo Tai glanced at him: "Presumably you have studied it, don't sell it, say the result." ”

San Wu said with a smile: "According to my statistics, the ratio of cultivators and mortals who have reached a certain level in the Nether Realm is about one to ten thousand, that is to say, ten thousand people can support a cultivator who is completely out of production, and among them, the proportion of cultivators who have reached the peak and are expected to break through the realm and soar is similar to this. In other words, on average, one in 100 million people may soar. If we compare the ratio of the six billion people on the earth to the civil servants and professional soldiers who are completely out of work in modern society and ancient society, it can be at least 300 times higher!"

Suo Tai couldn't help but gasp: "In other words, there may be eighteen thousand people in each generation who break through the realm and ascend to the ......"

"If you cut out the failure of the ascension, how can you get tens of thousands," Sanwu smiled smugly, "Do you think this seal should not be lifted?"

With a "snap", Suo Tai slapped the palm of his right hand with the ruler in his left hand: "It's done!"

Lin Xinning said with a smile: "I was able to ascend thanks to the guidance of Zhang Lu and several other seniors in the Lingshu Secret Realm, and when I was still on the ground, I thought that once I ascended, I would look up to the 'King of the Realm' horse, and I would do whatever he asked me to do, and it would never be wrong." But when he really ascended to the sky, Zhang Lu did not give us orders, but first asked us to visit the earth, and then explained in detail the cause and effect, and asked for help—then how could we have a reason to retreat?"

Except for Wei Wencheng, the other "new immortals" are all bowed.

Zhang Lu said with a smile: "Because I believe that those who can ascend must be noble people, and for those with noble character, as long as you treat them sincerely, you will be able to repay them." ”

Suo Taiyi raised his eyebrows: "Then you refused to reveal your identity and explain the truth to us, because you thought that our character was not noble enough......"

Zhang Lu wanted to apologize, but Wei Qiang hurriedly replied: "It's not the same thing, how can you generalize? ”

Suo Tai smiled "hehe", but then said with a straight face: "You also need to guard against obstruction, don't you think it will be more certain to accumulate more colleagues?" To tell the truth, if there is a conflict with the so-called Emperor Party, there are probably only Wei Qiang and Zhang Lu who can fight here...... Don't look at me, I've never even fought against dragons. ”

Sanwuxin said that I didn't have a ...... You've separated me again, do you really think I'm a soy sauce maker?

Zhang Lu replied: "There is an allusion on the earth, called 'the sword of Damocles', which means that a sharp blade is hung with horsehair on the top of your head, and you don't know when the sword will be broken and fall and take your life." The Imperial Party is in the dark, and now it has already discovered that the seal may be shaken, just like a sword hanging over his head, instead of being worried all the time, or worrying about them strengthening the seal, it is better to fight fast and slow and take the lead in action!"

Feng said abruptly: "Since they are all here, presumably everyone agrees to lift the seal of the earth, even if there are still doubts in their hearts, there is no point in saying more - let's do it quickly!"

Suo Tai pointed at nothing: "It's mainly that you have surveyed and calculated, then you can talk about it." ”

San Wu nodded and pointed to the slender stone pillar: "This pillar ...... No, according to the aspect ratio, it is simply a needle, one end of this needle is driven into the ground, straight to the mantle, continuously absorbing the energy of the center of the earth, and the other end probes into the gap between time and space, so as to affect the earth in the next universe. If we easily pull it out, the pressure relief channel that has been formed in the center of the earth will disappear immediately, causing a big explosion, which will not only completely blow up the star, but also may affect the gap in time and space, causing unpredictable consequences. So, make pre-holes in the seven positions of the stars to dissipate the pressure, and then at the same time as the needle is drawn, it is also necessary to close the gap in the upper space-time......"

The specific punching position, he had already calculated, so he explained it to the immortals in detail. Wei Qiang assigned the tasks one by one, and the seven new immortals went to their destination one after another, and only four "Earth Remnants", Suo Tai, and Sui Feng were left next to the stone pillar.

Suo Tai and Zhang Lu's next job is to prepare to "mend the sky", and the other four are responsible for "drawing needles". With a single order, seven new immortals simultaneously cast spells to gouge holes in the ice and go straight to the center of the earth to vent and relieve stress - for this satellite, it is equivalent to the eruption of seven submarine volcanoes, and the devastating effects on the creatures of the sea are not to be taken into account.

Because they have roughly surveyed that there is no intelligent life in this world, and there is not even an advanced life existence, at most, it is just a little single-celled life in the water, which is not a psychological burden for the immortals than crushing the insects. Moreover, this type of "natural disaster" will not kill all life, and there will always be the possibility of continued evolution.

The sky shook in an instant. Zhang Lu focused half of his energy on the gap in time and space where the stone pillar was inserted, and the other half of his energy was diffusing and probing around, he felt that as soon as the seal weakened, the imperial party should appear-

"It's coming!" Wei Qiang's thoughts first penetrated into his heart, and then a huge figure appeared in the void......
