Hua era, one hundred years.

Thirty-five years have passed since the first voyage of the flying ship, twenty-two years have passed since the appearance of the first artificial spirit root, and three years have passed since all human beings have attained cultivation in the true sense.

This year, the first year of the Chinese era, the number of monks reached 5 billion. Although the number of human beings has decreased by nearly half in the past 100 years, this is an inevitable decline brought about by social development.

And in this era, a person, a cultivator whose strength is still unknown to this day, has been worshiped by countless people.

He changed the social form of society and broke the trend of thought that was almost closed off from the country due to the prosperity of the spiritual vein. All of them don't think there's a need for interstellar travel, even though space law gives them the ability to travel freely within thousands of light-years.

Even if the cultivation brings about a powerful individual, it is enough for the human body to stand in the universe.

Even if interstellar colonization does not exist only on paper, but has a practical technical basis.

Even if the Great Unification Government project is approved, a long-lasting Starfleet can be completed within five years.

But in the past 100 years, the so-called interstellar voyage has hardly existed in mainstream discourse, and all literature has lost its imagination of the universe.

Rather, it is in a posture above the universe, and human beings do not think that the universe needs to be explored.

It is understandable that desire often comes from material things. When there is enough material available in the universe, then there will naturally be no outward desires.

It's a kind of inertia.

Living beings exist, and so do heaven and earth.

But spiritual resources are scarce, and everything such as spirit stones, elixirs, elixirs, exercises, etc., is difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

In order to break the isolation of the country, the emperor separated a part of himself and turned it into a tentacle of heaven and earth, covering this vast world.

Those who have no phase are heaven and earth.

The struggle is also heaven and earth.

The emperor was tired of basking in the sun, and there were a few more silver rays between his hair.

A reporter sat respectfully in front of him, recording the conversation with a state-of-the-art holographic video camera.

"Mr. Di, what kind of mentality do you have to donate room temperature superconductivity technology and artificial spirit root technology free of charge? These two technologies have brought unprecedented changes to humanity, and they have truly made it possible for everyone to practice, and your merits are enough to be canonized, comparable to the legendary immortals. ”

"I'm just borrowing the Buddha to offer flowers." Emperor Mian shook his head and said, "Changchun Gong is more wonderful than you imagined. ”

The reporter thought it was modest and said: "You are too modest, Changchun is refined, not one in ten thousand." But your artificial spirit root, so that everyone can practice, in the past, it was a genius to practice qi before the age of ten, but now it is implanted with artificial spirit root. ”

The Emperor just smiled and shook his head when he heard this, he didn't bother to explain too much, and this conversation was just a boring anecdote.

If it becomes a show off, it will inevitably be a bit of a loss.

And what he said was true.

The artificial spiritual root is based on the method of Changchun Gong, cutting off the original endless upper limit in exchange for a low lower limit.

And those who began to implant artificial spiritual roots at a young age, those who did not want to succeed through their own efforts, will eventually be reduced to loess.

He will not be able to break through the golden pill in his life.

If you honestly practice Changchun Gong, then you will definitely be able to break through in the end, Jindan is just around the corner, and Yuanying is not impossible.

All the way up to the Holy King is possible.

They are just fuel, the fuel that moves society forward, the fuel that naturally gives rise to the struggle of all beings.

The emperor also disdained to pit them, and informed everyone at the beginning.

Artificial Root is weakened by the upper limit.

The emperor asked, "Do you think I'm comparable to an immortal?" ”

The reporter praised unabashedly: "I think you have surpassed the immortals, even if you stand on the shoulders of giants, you are already blue and better than blue." ”

"Hehe......"

The crown let out a few chuckles, seemingly delighted, but more like mockery.

He remembered the time when he had just come back, and everyone's worship of the immortals was endless. This is also the result of the joint construction of the three forces of the Great Unification Mansion, the Immortal Palace, and the Dao Realm, which is an absolute correctness.

Because the spiritual veins are in their hands.

Is there anything wrong with such an extreme cult of personality?

From the perspective of the development of human society, it is in line with human nature, but it is not in line with rationality. But if that immortal basically doesn't appear, there won't be any harm.

In general, the worship of immortals is beneficial and harmless.

The worship of his character can suppress personal powerism.

Asgard has a plan.

Every cultivating genius will accept the imprint of a certain thought, both openly and secretly, and the education prepared by the government from birth will tell the character of the immortals. After entering the cultivation, the Shangqing Palace is the first realm and the Beidou Immortal Palace will tell you the nobility of the immortals.

The Xianzhou fleet is even more extreme, similar to raising the dead.

It's all the kindness of immortals, like patriotic education in the old days, but it is biased towards individuals.

This kind of behavior can easily lead to rebellion, and many teenagers will denigrate the immortals as a way to flaunt mavericks. But without exception, after entering society, you will feel ashamed of your words and deeds.

Because kindness is genuine, and not through false, didactic, feudal etiquette and unwarranted oppression.

The Tao they practiced came from one person.

And he never took the world's penny.

The emperor knew that the human race had cut down the heavens in his previous life, so he wanted to break this kindness.

It's going to be a fun process.

The Emperor sensed that several monks from the Chengguan Division were approaching, but they did not enter their villa, and it was obvious that the target was not himself.

Li Changsheng's juniors are not stupid enough to take themselves as targets.

It should be this journalist, and the cosmopolitan school he promotes.

"It's time for the interview to end."

"Is this the end?" The reporter was a little regretful, but he did not dwell on it and quickly packed his things.

Before parting, he asked, "Can I ask you one last question?" ”

"Ask."

"Nowadays, there are many differences in society about whether to carry out large-scale interstellar colonization, after all, although there are spiritual veins in the outside world, there are many dangers after all. And our home planet is in motion all the time, and once it is separated, I am afraid that it will never come back.

Everyone who leaves their home planet will be a spark of civilization, and will they become villains who come back with knives in the future? ”

The reporter asked the most acute question of the moment.

Will those humans who have escaped from their mothers come back as robbers in the future?

The blue star is the center of heaven and earth, with endless spiritual veins. And no matter how big the outside world is, it can't compare to Blue Star.

Will these people come back and invade Blue Star after a thousand years?

The emperor replied with a smile: "Struggle is nature, and only struggle can make progress. If the child who goes out to seek growth eventually outweighs us, then we should give up our place. ”

"And that's a long, long time later, at least for now, we can't imprison other people's ideals, and the so-called suspicion is never guilty."

"I see."

The reporter smiled happily and left. As soon as he left the villa, he was taken away by several monks to investigate.

——————————————

Bang!

The person in charge of the interrogation slammed the table, staring at the reporter in front of him, and the formations all over the room spied on the other party's spirits, almost eliminating the possibility of lying.

But again due to the Personal Privacy Act.

If it is not a criminal offense, it can only use polygraphy, and cannot directly dialyze the other party's thoughts.

"Say, what is the purpose of writing these things? Who instructed you? ”

The reporter said with an awe-inspiring face: "No one stops me, I am all for justice, and everyone has the right to pursue the extraordinary." ”

"What bullshit is fair, the artificial spirit root on your body, the spirit stone in your pocket, and the talisman on your neck, which one is not from the Immortal Palace? It's not governmental. ”

The interrogator retorted.

And the reporter asked rhetorically: "Sir, if I want a Tsukidan, what does it take to break through the Tsukidan?" ”

"Three hundred thousand."

When the reporter just shook his head and didn't speak, the interrogator turned against the guest and said, "You want to say that you can't afford it?" Or is it something that a normal person's salary can't afford? At the current salary level in a big city, the minimum salary is 13,000 a month, the cost of living is 5,000, and it takes 30 years to build a kidan alone. ”

"But this is the minimum wage, and society offers other high-paying remuneration, and generally speaking, it only takes a few years to be enough."

The reporter said: "But most high-paying jobs require a certain amount of cultivation. What about us ordinary people? Without the Artificial Root, we wouldn't even have access to the threshold for these high-paying jobs. Many times, perhaps just these few years, a cultivator from a civilian background has missed the best time. ”

The interrogator said: "The government has a loan, and the interest rate is a little higher, but everything has a price." ”

"In that case, why would anyone get resources for free? Because of their talent, because of their background. ”

The reporter is like a young man venting his anger on the Internet, his words are radical and illogical, but for some reason those eyes are as sharp as falcons.

Wait for the opponent to show the flaws before posting it on the network.

The interrogator rightly said, "There are differences in the world, and there is never absolute fairness. People are always different because of opportunities, and today's society is fair, at least if you have talent, you won't be buried. ”

The reporter laughed, applauded and said:

"How do you"

"That's right, the differences in the world, we can't erase this, but why don't we go to the universe to pursue opportunities, why do the government and Asgard try their best to stop it?"

"What are you afraid of?"

The interrogator pursed his lips, he was also puzzled, but did not answer the question directly, "Is it possible, not everyone wants to be otherworldly. Many people prefer a life of one day off, ten in the morning and four in the evening? ”

"Please don't corrupt us by being self-contained in seclusion and seclusion."

The interrogation was spent amid the verbal exchange of guns and sticks between the two sides, and the journalist was released after 12 hours of detention for legal reasons.

This was followed by the release of today's interview on the Internet.

He is an important propagandist for the cosmic faction.

The reporter looked at the screen with joy, looking forward to an overwhelming amount of support, and every time he made a different voice, he could always get countless supports on the Internet.

And this time, half an hour passed, and there was not a single reply.

"How is that possible? That's impossible. ”

The reporter re-published another one, replacing four or five platforms in a row, but still couldn't make any waves.

He took out his phone and sent messages to others, but he never received a reply.

It's as if I've been ostracized by the Internet.

There was one more madman on the back street.

In the first hundred years, the cosmic faction was only a small niche, and there were factions that liked to make trouble.

They are like the first to jump out and claim the title of emperor during the change of ancient dynasties, stupid and ignorant, and they will inevitably face the full slaughter of the old order. And they are facing the last years of the dynasty, but a behemoth at its peak.

A giant with sound limbs, a clear mind, and a distant vision, in the prime of life.

Xiao Yuntian looked at the list on the table, his fingertips tapped lightly, and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to kill them all, but that was too much, and there was no need for that.

"The Blue Star will be a gentle home for all, but remember, don't leave."

In the 153rd year of the Chinese era, in order to capture the phaseless gas machine far behind the starry sky, low earth orbit began to build a spaceport for the Xianzhou fleet.

In the Chinese era, two hundred years ago, the spaceport was built.

In the Hua era, in the year 330, the Futu Xianzhou sailed away, and it was expected to travel long distances through the space path method to reach a galaxy a thousand light-years away.

The whole voyage is expected to be one hundred and twenty years.

In the Chinese era, four hundred and twenty years, Futu Xianzhou sent back a message.

[This is the Futu Xianzhou fleet, which successfully captured the phaseless qi machine, he is so beautiful, like a star. 】

[It's incredible, this is a treasure that is beyond common sense!] We are just in contact, and the fleet is transformed into a god and the cultivation is a great realm for the whole body. 】

[And our realm continues to grow]

When the news came back, the entire Blue Star was shaken.

In the Chinese era, in 450 years, the Futu Xianzhou returned smoothly.

On that day, cheers resounded throughout the sky.

Later, Asgard invited all the monks above the Yuan Infant to participate in enlightenment, so as to put an end to everyone's impatient heart.

In the Chinese era, five hundred and sixty years, the second expedition began.

This time it's bigger and more crowded.

Because the original group of cultivators in the local area have basically turned into gods, and the next step is to attain the Dao, that is, the Holy King.

Asgard realized that this large group of new gods did not have as strong a belief in immortals as the heavenly beings.

It's better to be blocked than to be sparse.

The immortals must not allow them to engage in massacre.

——————————————

Shenzhou, Jade City.

Five hundred years later, humans have long built cities in low-earth orbit, and the scenes of science fiction works of yesteryear have been realized, but cities have not changed much.

It's just that it has changed from economy to comfort.

Many people live in what people called single-family houses hundreds of years ago, and there are many more spaceships in the sky.

Because people haven't changed much, and material needs haven't changed either.

Today is the funeral of Zhao Si's wife, he buried his wife next to his daughter's cemetery with his own hands, and he continued to look to the right to see the graves of his parents.

He is the only one left in his family.

But Zhao Si didn't have much sadness, because he had already prepared.

Cover the last layer of soil, look at Lu Haochu, and ask, "Is there any smoke?" ”

He hadn't smoked in years.

Lu Haochu, who had already turned into a cultivator, took out an e-cigarette and said: "Smoking is harmful to health, and tobacco was eliminated as early as a hundred years ago." This can be used to secrete dopamine through bioelectric shock, which perfectly achieves the taste of tobacco. ”

Zhao Si complained: "Damn, everything has to be technological, right?" And I'm all Jindan cultivators, this thing is used with a hammer. ”

Although he scolded and cursed, he still took a few sharp puffs and squatted in front of the grave to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.

At this time, an ordinary man walked away with a bamboo umbrella, holding a basket of fruits in his hand, and came to the present to light a stick of incense.

He asked, "Little Four, how do you feel?" Well...... The state should be ok. ”

"Brother Yi, there should only be one time for this kind of suffering, right?" Zhao Si raised his head and asked.

He looked at the young man's spotless countenance, and the understatement between his eyebrows, as if nothing could move the young man.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "And my parents." ”

Zhao Si was silent for a moment, these two were the only remaining elders after the death of his parents.

"Uncle Li and Aunt Li, Brother Yi, you should live longer than me."

"They are not suitable for cultivation, and they will probably stop at Yuanying in the end, I will not force it. Just like back then, I didn't agree to give the empty space a new life. I'll let them live longer than the gods, but that's about it. Little four, you should survive this catastrophe and outlive them. ”

Li Yi said, and the expression on Zhao Si's face became even more bitter.

seemed to complain, and said as if blaming himself: "Brother Yi, it would be nice if you were tougher at that time." It's my fault to leave empty for my own selfish desires. ”

Zhao Kongkong, his daughter.

She is not suitable for cultivation, only for being a mortal. After living for 500 years, having friends, marriages, and children, he finally couldn't stand the suffering of immortality and committed suicide.

To be precise, he was stopped by Li Yi, and euthanized after obtaining his consent.

Li Yiru said five hundred years ago that he would be a qualified big brother, but not everything was as Zhao Si wanted.

The meaning of life is not about length, everyone has an end, and forcing them to stay will only hurt their loved ones.

So this time, Zhao Si simply let his wife die.

"It's human nature." Lu Haochu comforted, "It takes more courage to let go, and the old man of my family was scolding me before he died." ”

Zhao Si nodded, and the bitterness on his face quickly disappeared, it was not forbearance, but transparency after enlightenment.

Lu Haochu looked at Li Yi, wanted to speak and stopped, and before he could say anything, the other party seemed to know what he was going to say.

"The phaseless qi machine can indeed allow you to attain enlightenment, but it will also cut off the path to enlightenment. There are two sides to everything, and there must be a price to take shortcuts. If you don't think it matters and don't want to become enlightened, you can try it. ”

Lu Haochu arched his hand and bent down and said: "But the Immortal Palace is not allowed to explore privately, and the immortal boats and magic weapons that can operate the space Dao method are strictly controlled. ”

The monk can rub the distance at will through the laws of space, but the laws of space are not available to everyone.

He is now a god, but on the scale of the universe, I am afraid it will take thousands of years to travel.

Li Yi replied: "The Great Dao walks alone, or wait for a hundred years, and then the Ying Chao will be squeezed into a cave." Xiao Qi and they are actually okay, they didn't do too much, but after all, they couldn't stop the enterprising spirit of all beings. ”

"Soon, people will not be satisfied with relying on the qi brought back by Xianzhou. They fight with nothing, and they are still too tender. ”

As long as things don't go beyond the limit, Li Yi doesn't plan to care, he is already used to it.

As for the crown.

For him, it should be the simplest aspect, and the other party is very self-aware and does not intend to fight him head-on.

100 Years Later......

Lu Haochu wrote down this message.

After a few more years, he found someone.

Black Jade True Monarch, a power that has been promoted to the Holy King after reincarnation, is also a rare space power in the world.

The little black man weighed the other party's reward in his hand, and nodded happily in agreement.

"Yes, take the money to do things, but I think you should stay, listen to the immortals, maybe it will be faster than looking for the phaseless qi."

Lu Haochu smiled bitterly: "This is already my limit." ”

Immortals are never stingy, but they are rarely partial, and pay more attention to going with the flow.

Lu Haochu has already been stained with too much light, so he has today's cultivation. Now he wants to go further, and he can only rely on himself.
