Chapter 233: The King of Witches
The Xingzhou civilization ushered in a period of rapid development.
This is a matter of course, and traveling with the witch's fleet means that the Umins don't have to worry about their own safety; And the knowledge left behind by the Xianzhou civilization has brought about earth-shaking changes in their cultivation system.
In the past, the methods of cultivating immortals were uniformly called the "old methods", and the "new methods" that integrated the knowledge of the Xianzhou civilization sprung up one after another:
For example, "Calculation of Low-speed Rigid Body Motion" as the basis of swordsmanship, "Fundamentals of Nonlinear Rigid Body Motion and Chaos Calculation" as an advanced kendo technique, and "Some Conjectures on the Relationship between High-Speed Sword Pill and Dome Distortion" that must be studied after reaching the level of the Great Sword Immortal.
Another example is the "Thunder Magnetic Basics" that spiritual and thunder cultivators must learn, the "Fluid Fitting and Chaos Calculus" and "Phase Transformation Law" for practitioners of water, ice, and fire, and the "Civil Engineering Inheritance for earth and wood practitioners...... Ahem, the last one is almost no longer practiced.
After Tang Yue muttered a sentence in a low voice, he continued-
In addition to the above-mentioned exercises, the Xingzhou civilization at that time also developed some methods that were more direct to the Great Dao, among which the most famous classic was the "Quantum Easy Learning" performed by more than a dozen masters in the Hedao period, and this classic played a very key role in a later incident......
In short, with the popularization of the new method, the practice of the Umins is no longer comparable to the past, both in terms of speed and level. Not only that, but the development of refining is even more amazing:
In the 186th year of the Xingzhou calendar, the first "Xingzhou Flood Furnace" was successfully manufactured, and from then on, Xingzhou no longer needed to be promoted by the power of the contract provided by the witch;
In the 335th year of the Star Boat calendar, the first Star Ark "Zi Wei Xing" built by the Yumin themselves became a sea trial;
In the two thousand years that followed, the Umins built a total of 64 starships, and they were already qualified as a small detachment of the witch fleet to deal with disputes between relatively weak civilizations.
And Umin is no longer the Umin, who was just set sail 2,000 years ago.
At the beginning, the witches gave two choices, but in fact there was no difference - as early as about 500 years of the Xingzhou calendar, the contact between the witch and the people of Xingzhou Yu became closer and closer, the appearance of the two races is so similar, and they have almost the same aesthetics, plus the witch is a race that likes novelties, and since the popularization of the new law, it is no longer an extremely difficult thing to practice, so there is more time to enjoy some fun that has no time to enjoy in the past......
The only obstacle is the difference in the way of reproduction.
The witch is unisexual, while Umin is a same-sex viviparous. To put it simply, even though Umin has only one gender, they still need two individuals to give birth to offspring from the lotus platform through the method of yin and yang recombination.
But for the witches, this was not a difficult task at all, and they soon created a contract to solve the problem, and from then on, if both parties wished, the witch and Umin could give birth to offspring in a variety of ways - either from the witch's body as an oviparous, or from the womb of Umin as a viviparity, or...... It can also be laid from Umin's body in an oviparous manner.
When Xia Ye heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Doesn't this mean ......?"
"Yes." Tang Yue nodded with a natural expression: "Since then, Yumin has possessed both oviparous and viviparous abilities. ”
"......" summer night suddenly conjured up many indescribable things.
Tang Yue naturally didn't know the messy thoughts in her head, and continued-
Even though Umin had never drunk the blood of a witch, the two races eventually merged together in this way - as I said at the beginning, there was no difference between choice and choice in the choice given by witches.
At that time, the offspring born from the union of witches and Umin could even use some witch contracts, and at this point, Umin had actually gradually become a branch of witches, just like cat witches and flower witches......
"Cat Witch and Flower Witch?" Summer Night interrupted.
"That's right, those are the two oldest branches other than pure-blood witches, what's wrong?"
"Hmm...... Nothing, please go on. ”
"If another thousand years ......," Tang Yue continued, "Maybe there will be one more type of witch, maybe she will be called 'Xingzhou Witch', or maybe she will be called 'Yumin Witch', but it can't be called 'Immortal Cultivation Witch', right?" Hahaha......"
The girl laughed a few times, with some bitterness in her laughter: "However, Umin didn't really become a witch after all, because before that, the witches' fleet was destroyed. ”
"Huh?!"
"Huh?!"
Xia Ye and Tang Li both showed shocked expressions.
"I was born in the year 2001 of the Star Ark calendar." Tang Yue said: "When I was a child, I heard the rumor that the witch was fighting against the stars, and this war lasted until I grew up, until I became a sword immortal, and I became a great sword immortal...... It hasn't ended.
"But neither I, nor the rest of the Umin, have ever really seen this war, and no one has even reached the front line of the battlefield. The reason is very simple - because Umin is still not a witch, at most it can only be regarded as a relatively large subordinate race under the rule of witches, and in the eyes of the proud witches, we are not qualified to participate in this war at all, and of course we do not have to bear the obligation to participate in the war.
"Therefore, we do not know when this war began, how long it lasted, and what the situation was like at the front...... And the most critical question: the Umins had seen the witches destroy the stars that had invaded the Asgard Palace, and it was supposed to be a one-sided war, but why did it last so long?
But we didn't get answers to these questions until the end – except for the third. Over time, some bits and pieces of information did come to us from within the witch:
[The battle situation is not optimistic, and some people suggested retreating to the ultra-hollow area for temporary refuge, but the witch king vetoed this proposal, believing that the other party had also reached the limit, and decided to personally lead the most elite forces to raid the enemy's home galaxy and end this protracted war in one fell swoop. 】
"People will be skeptical of this rumor, but it wasn't long before I received a notification from the Witch Messenger that the Witch King wanted to summon me. Well...... At that time, I was already the chief helmsman of the Xingzhou fleet, and you can understand that you are the leader and representative of the Xingzhou civilization.
"Of course, I couldn't disagree, and after a little preparation, the Witch Emissary teleported me to the palace where the Witch King was, which was set up on the flagship of the Witch Fleet, and that flagship—larger than all our starships combined.
"Led by the waiter who had been waiting for a long time, I met the Witch King for the first and last time, and she ......"
When Tang Yue said this, he glanced at the summer night and found that the other party was looking at him a little nervously.
"She looks a little like you." Tang Yue said, "But I don't mean looks, but shapes...... It's the appearance of a normal human-shaped body, but a large number of heads connected by silk threads, floating high in the air. ”
Xia Ye swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "How many heads does the King of Witches have?" ”
"How could I have counted in that environment?" Tang Yue chuckled and shook his head.
"But a rough estimate shows that there are always thousands, and the threads that connect them extend upwards unhindered by objects, piercing through the crystal dome of the palace and the transparent dome of the ship, and the heads float directly above the flagship, each looking in different directions, and the attendants around me whispered to me that some of these heads are responsible for watching over the fleet, while others are responsible for watching the stars and guiding the voyage of the fleet......
"When I came to the Witch King and saluted him, he summoned a head at random, placed it on his neck, and bowed slightly to me in response.
"Then he spoke, and the first thing he said made me stunned: 'Helmsman of Umin, would you like to have an egg with this witch?' ”
