Chapter Seventy-Four, I Am Your Father
In the vast universe, the stars shine brightly, but in the immediate vicinity, countless rays of light suddenly burst out, even more dazzling than the brightest galaxy......
Tens of thousands of silver-white huge warships were arranged in a neat and scattered formation, separated by millions of meters, with murderous aura and thick pillars of light emitting at each other. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 From time to time, a battleship was hit by a pillar of light, which immediately set off a series of explosions, and burst out with a bright light as bright as a star.
If there were a later generation witnessing this scene, they would have found that the shape of those warships did not belong entirely to any literary and artistic work, but was a hodgepodge of hard patchwork. The shape of the battleship is like a long cigar, which is basically derived from "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes", but the battleships of the Imperial side in "Yinying" are blue-gray, the allies are dark green, and the battleships in front of you are all silver-white. This is because "Yinying" has only adapted 2D cartoons after all, and Zhang Lu's grasp of its material is not accurate, so he refers to European and American works such as "Star Wars" and "Star Trek......
The group of battleships was basically spread out in a plane, with more than 10,000 ships on both sides, and from the battlefield to the zenith, a bald fat man with a cigarette roll in his mouth and a vest and pants was hiding in the void, coldly overlooking all this.
"That's not right, since it's a cosmic operation, why is the battlefield so flat?"
Zhang Lu's words immediately sounded beside him: "No way, that's how 'Yinying' was designed...... Logically speaking, in order to conform to the spherical offensive and defensive integration without dead ends, the battleship should not be cigar-shaped. I want to get some flowers out, but I'm afraid that the old man will see a flaw in the wrong design......"
"It doesn't matter, how does the old man know what a space battleship is and what a space war is? But how long do you think this illusion can stumble him?"
"It's hard to say......"
The passage of time in the fantasy world is generally faster than that of the real world, and Zhang Lu first set foot in the "Lingtai Mirage", in which he tossed and turned for nearly two hours, and the real world was only a blink of an eye, which is the proof. There is also a folk story of "Huangliang A Dream", which says that someone dreams of a lifetime of wealth and glory, and when he wakes up, the small rice (yellow sorghum) in the kettle has not yet been cooked - this comes from the most intuitive feeling of mortals about the flow of time in the dream.
Because it is difficult to really structure every detail in the illusion world—it may be much more rigorous for the immortals to create a heavenly world that seems to be a real illusion, but Zhang Lu has neither the ability nor the time to set it up - many meaningless processes have to be simply omitted. It's like this illusion created by Zhang Lu, from Liu Lei's entry into the flying car to his arrival at the air ladder, from entering the air ladder to sitting on the bridge of the battleship, from the battleship setting sail to encountering the enemy...... With the exception of a few important moments and scene transitions, the intermediate process is all cut out - a bit like a movie montage.
And even the sets in those important nodes and scene transitions are basically there when you see them, and if you don't see them, you don't have them, and you have to rely on Liu Ti's mind to make up for them. Strictly speaking, this illusion was not created by Zhang Lu alone, and there was also an observer, that is, Tiangong Liu Lei, who contributed to it.
After constructing this illusion, Zhang Lu has a further understanding of the unreal. He couldn't help but wonder if the planet "Tatooine" was purely created in the first place, and it was only because he was involved in it that it had a certain impact from the perspective of an observer, then ...... Before leaving the illusion, far away in the oasis pond, if there was a bathing girl who could not be seen, was it because of her own color center? Could it be that there were really humanoid creatures outside the heavens from which they came?
The outer heaven from which Yu came may also be the place where Fuxi and Nuwa soared, but Xi and Wa are not really humanoid creatures in the strict sense...... However, he didn't seem to see the whole picture of the bathing girl, maybe she was really like Nuwa, the upper body was a human, and the lower body was a snake......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder slightly, quickly retracted his thoughts, and continued to pay attention to Tiangong Liu Lei who was trapped in the illusion with Lingtai Jun.
Even if you don't count those unnecessary processes, don't count those camera jumps, Liu Lei actually felt this illusion, it was probably more than an hour, but Zhang Lu pressed his pulse and pinched the seconds, and it was less than a minute in the real world. With the power of heaven, how long can he indulge in the illusion world? Can he have half an hour in the outside world? Is only half an hour enough for Zhang Jian to go to the sky to grab the class and seize power?
"No, I'll have to add some more food to him!"
"What's the dish?" Lingtaijun responded, "I see that old man's eyes are already a little confused, it is estimated that this battle has been fought for too long, the same energy cannon fires, occasionally a few missiles, you don't even want to send Wang Ergulei out, you are not a military fan, probably feel bored, right?"
"Maintaining these tens of thousands of warships is enough for our brothers and sons, and it will be returned to Wang Ergulei...... Do you want to add Spartanion and have a big showdown between the two motherships? You are not afraid of being tired and vomiting blood, so you can do it yourself! But this battle should be over, and we have to give the old man some new tricks...... What does the old man like best, and what is the type that he is more likely to indulge in?"
"He loves spells and ...... Power?"
"Power...... That's right, if the old man didn't have too much power, how could he think of unifying the heavenly realm? Let's give him a little political struggle. First the great nobles rebelled, and then a red-haired lieutenant died in front of him, and he had to save his sister from the sea of suffering......"
Lingtai Jun was disgusted: "Quante is 'Yinying', you don't have any new tricks?"
"I remember the plot of 'Yinying' well...... Well, let his sister go and form the rebels, he left the fleet, went to the aid alone, and finally faced the Imperial Lord, who said, 'Iamyourfather!'"
“...... Is it necessary to be so bloody? This child has already been played with badly!"
"For Liu Lei, it's definitely a new guy - I think he will like to fight each other with lightsabers, more than commanding a fleet to fire cannons. ”
"Didn't you say that the lightsaber wasn't dazzling enough, and you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to suppress Liu Ti?"
"It's not dazzling enough, it's an old film from decades ago after all...... Otherwise, let them fight in the lava?"
However, whether it is Zhang Lu or Lingtai Jun, there is a deviation in Liu Lei's cognition, Liu Lei is really not an immortal with too much desire for power, the reason why he wants to unify the heavenly realm, taking power is just a means, not an end. He was bent on opening the passage to continue his ascension, following the trail of the Gu Immortals, and also elevating himself to a higher level, and for this he had to gather the power of the immortals - since no other immortal had this kind of motivation, he had to come by himself.
Perhaps, when he truly sits firmly in the position of the heavenly court and truly becomes the lord of the heavenly realm, he will be corrupted by power and gradually deviate from his own heart's needs, and gradually regard the means as an end, and use power in order to control and consolidate power. But for now, Liu Lei is far from that step.
The reason why he was confused, and he once fell into the illusion created by Zhang Lu and couldn't extricate himself, was because he believed that what Zhang Lu showed was the higher world where Gu Immortals were located, so he was attracted. But the illusion is not real after all, it lacks too many details, and it is not worth exploring deeply, so when the phenomenon on the surface is repeated many times, Liu Lei's inner obsession begins to gradually melt like ice and snow in the sun......
In addition, Zhang Lu immediately went astray again, and hyped up the meaningless bloody plot. Liu Lei has ascended to the heavenly realm for a long time, and the seven emotions and six desires of mortals have almost been completely cut off, and there is no nostalgia anymore, so what is the point of what you are playing with him about the death of your friend, the humiliation of your sister, and even "I am your father"? It can only make him feel bored, and how can it touch the depths of his soul?
In particular, cosmic warfare is indeed very cool, but Liu Lei is interested in all kinds of novel shapes and concepts, rather than the thrill of actually being in charge of an army and holding people's life and death - perhaps once shaken, but he quickly corrected his mentality. Then as soon as the lightsaber came out, whether it was the early effect or the effect of the three prequels and even the later sequels (in fact, Zhang Lu couldn't see the postquel, and he has always regretted it), in Liu Lei's eyes, it was just a battle between snails and horns, so what was the point? There is also the battle in the magma, if it is placed in the mechanical world, no matter how absurd the setting is, no matter how rough the model is, it can also make Liu Lei get some kind of information that has never been seen and never heard, as for natural phenomena such as volcanic magma, he has not never seen it, where does it come from!
So Liu Lei immediately threw his lightsaber and put on the black cloak "Lord" on the opposite side with a mouth full of "I am your father". Immediately, he threw himself into the magma on his own initiative. The moment he sank into the fiery red magma, all of a sudden, everything around him—including the Black Lord, who was still rolling in the air, and the blazing torrent—all came to a standstill, as if the online game had simply stopped because of poor wiring or server overload.
Since it was stuck, of course, the time could not be too long, and soon, the surrounding scenery turned into small squares, and then peeled off and annihilated one after another...... The illusion was completely shattered at that moment, and Tiangong stood proudly in front of Zhang Lu with his hands behind his back.
"Junior, do you think that this is the illusion, and you can detain me for a long time?"
Zhang Lu pressed his pulse and counted in his heart - "Oops, it's less than a thousand times...... His blood flow is slowing down now, and his pulse is beating slowly, but when converted, it is only about twenty minutes. Although there is some horror in my heart, and there are still some regrets, after all, the horse will not fall, and I will never admit defeat in my mouth-
"Do you think I'm the only one trying to trap you?"
As he spoke, he raised his arms, and as if he had grabbed a layer of curtain in the void, he tore the curtain open. The scene behind the curtain is more or less the same as before, but there are two more figures on the left and right, as if pushing the door into the house, standing side by side with them.
The former on the left, about forty years old, with long hair and thin eyes, wears a scarf, wears a blue-gray robe, and holds a tail; the latter is a young girl, with a scarf wrapped around her head, black clothes and red edges, bare feet, and a short sword; on the right, the former has a gray beard, a bamboo crown in a Taoist robe, and holds a ruyi; and the latter is a young Confucian scholar with her hands in her sleeves.
When Liu Lei saw it, he couldn't help but sneer: "The charm and the ghosts, all gathered!"
