Chapter 550: The Future and the New World (2-in-1)

In the endless universe, the blue planet of the Earth rotates as always.

Every now and then, a small spaceship rises into the air and disappears into space through the atmosphere.

After a long period of development, the earth's technology has also broken through the limits of gravity and reached the level of a medium civilization that can enter and exit space at will.

However, unlike other medium-sized civilizations that like to establish synchronous orbits over their planets, the sky above Earth is still in an "empty" state.

It is not without citizens who petition for the establishment of a space city, and there are many companies willing to invest funds in the construction of a space city, but every time someone mentions this proposal, it is quietly suppressed.

Over time, people have also become accustomed to this kind of thing, although there is no space city as a port, so that many spaceships need to consume more energy when flying away from Earth, but for the existing technology on Earth, in fact, the impact is not very large.

After all, after the development of nuclear fusion technology and the development of materials on the moon, energy itself is a near-free thing for people on earth.

Only a few people on the entire planet know that the reason why the space-synchronous orbital space city was not established was because of a silvery-white UFO suspended over the planet.

The UFO has been hovering above the Earth for nearly a century, and has not made much movement, and at first glance it looks like it has been abandoned.

However, all those who know the truth about this UFO will stay away from it, even when the space route on Earth is arranged, they will deliberately avoid the places where the UFO passes.

On this day, the UFO, which had not reacted all this time, suddenly lit up with a subtle light.

A low sigh came from it, but it was impossible to detect his voice because of the lack of medium.

"It's time......"

Several silvery-white carapace arthropods protrude from the UFO and huddle together below, leaving only a human-sized gap.

As the complex three-dimensional circle appeared in the gaps reserved in several arthropods, bits of energy particles coalesced into a human body in the circle.

Zheng Shu opened his eyes among the puppets he had made, and with a wave of his empty body, a Taoist robe appeared out of thin air.

Without exploring any other places, Zheng Shu's gaze casually looked at a certain location on the earth below, and with a single step, his body disappeared into space without a sound.

Baiyun Temple, gathered outside the mountain house.

There are many visitors in the usually quiet gym at this time, and there is even a bit of a bustling and lively feeling.

However, everyone who comes here has a clear sense of sadness or sorrow on their faces, and even some people who are not emotionally sad will automatically put such expressions on their faces as the emotions of the public are infected.

Zheng Shu came silently, and no one even noticed it at first, until a certain little Taoist priest next to the mountain house saw Zheng Shu's eyes lit up:

"Master!"

As soon as these words came out, the attention of others was attracted, but although people's expressions became a little amazed and surprised when they saw Zheng Shu, they still didn't dare to step forward casually.

Zheng Shu nodded to the people around him with a gentle expression, said hello, and then walked straight to the inside of the Yunji Mountain House.

No one around dared to stop him, and those little Taoist priests even took the initiative to close the door after he entered the room, creating a separate space for Zheng Shu and the people in the room to talk.

In the room, the old man, who was sitting on a futon in the middle of the room, raised his head with great difficulty after hearing someone enter.

The old man's hair was white, his skin was crisscrossed with folds, and it seemed that his life had reached a certain limit, and the simple act of looking up at a person had exhausted his strength.

"Senior brother, you're here......" The old man tugged at the corners of his mouth with difficulty, revealing a peaceful smile.

"Hmm." Zheng Shu nodded silently.

Stretching out his hand, a ray of light poured into the old man's body, allowing the old man, who was close to running out of oil, to regain his strength.

"Oops...... It's really uncomfortable to wait for death like this. The old man breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been relieved of a thousand pounds of burden, and his tone of voice became brisk.

"yes, death is a terrible feeling, so don't you want to live a little longer? You know, it's very simple for me to help people live longer. Zheng Shu looked at the appearance of the old man in front of him, hesitated slightly, and proposed.

"Is it prolonged...... Senior brother, what was the answer of the abbot and uncle? ”

The old man looked at Zheng Shu, who seemed to have no signs of aging at all in front of him, and his eyes showed a look of memory and emotion.

“…… Go with the flow. After being silent for a long time, Zheng Shu replied with a sigh.

"yes, that's my answer. Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, since you can't become an immortal, it's good to be an ordinary mortal, and it's not interesting to be an old immortal. ”

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly looked up at Zheng Shu again and smiled: "Senior brother, I didn't mean to scold you!" ”

"You kid, you're still so out of tune after being the abbot of Baiyun Temple!" Zheng Shu also laughed.

Looking at Huang Ming who was aging in front of him, Zheng Shu couldn't help but feel a little emotional, he had the impression that Huang Ming was still the young Taoist priest who followed him to participate in Luo Tian Dajiao, but he didn't expect that he had become like this in the blink of an eye.

Before he knew it, he had been in the world of one man for more than a century.

The people I once knew left one by one because they had reached the end of their lives.

Although Zheng Shu can help people prolong their lives, he will also respect their choices, so in the end, he can only quietly watch the people he is familiar with leave one after another.

While reminiscing about the past, Zheng Shu and Huang Ming chatted.

The two chatted a lot, from the big things Zheng Shu had done to the new disciples in Baiyun Temple, and they had been chatting for a long time.

It wasn't until the setting sun dyed the clouds red in the sky and the red light was reflected in the room that Huang Ming seemed to notice something, and the chattering voice slowly stopped.

"I'll have my time, brother."

“…… Oh, yes. ”

"It's been a long time since I've had such a good chat, so it's nice to have another chat with you before I leave."

"I'm sorry."

"It's me who should say I'm sorry, senior brother, from now on, you are the only one left in this world......" Huang Ming's voice slowly lowered.

"You don't have to tell me you're sorry." Zheng Shu looked at him and sighed silently again, got up and pushed the door, beckoning the Taoist priests who were waiting anxiously outside to enter.

Zheng Shu stood by the door, watching a group of Taoist priests anxiously gather around Huang Ming and say something, and after a while, an unconcealable cry came from the room.

Zheng Shu just watched silently from the sidelines, and didn't get too involved in it.

It wasn't until all the visitors dispersed that Zheng Shu looked at the newly added tablet on the desk, and he felt a little touch in his heart.

Giving incense to his master and master's tablet, Zheng Shu looked at the Baiyun Temple, which he had lived here for more than a century, and now seemed a little unfamiliar, thought about it a little, calculated the time, and went out for a long time.

……

……

After Zheng Shu left Baiyun Temple, the first thing he went to was a cemetery.

This cemetery looks uneventful and not much different from other cemeteries.

In this interstellar age, people are more open-minded, and fewer and fewer people choose the traditional way of burial.

However, Zheng Shu is very clear that the reason why these two people are buried here is mainly because their former teammates are also buried here.

Looking at the names of "Wenshan" and "Second Kill" on the tombstone, Zheng Shu silently placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tomb.

When leaving, Zheng Shu noticed that another person had come to this tombstone to pay respects, and turned his head to see that the other party should be the child of Erji and Wenshan.

Zheng Shu had met each other a few times when he was a child, but strictly speaking, it was not close, and it could only be said that he was not a stranger.

Just like those disciples of Huang Ming.

Because Zheng Shu had been in retreat for many years, it was only after the last person he knew in the Baiyun Temple passed away that he realized that he no longer had acquaintances in the Baiyun Temple.

Without bothering these people, Zheng Shu went straight to another cemetery.

But here, he met an acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Feng Baobao?"

Looking at Feng Baobao, whose appearance had not changed at all, Zheng Shu was slightly surprised, and glanced at the bouquet of flowers she was holding in her hand again: "You also come to sweep the tomb?" ”

"yes."

The two silently came to Zhang Chulan's grave and put down a bouquet of flowers, neither of them was a person who liked to show emotions, so there was no big emotional fluctuation when they swept the tomb.

Standing on Zhang Chulan's tombstone and waiting for a while, Zheng Shu took out a pack of instant noodles from his pocket and handed it to Feng Baobao.

"Give."

"Oh."

Just like when they first met, Feng Baobao took the instant noodles handed over by Zheng Shu and still nibbled on them very simply.

"Where are you going next?" Zheng Shu asked.

"I've finished walking around the earth, and I'm going to go to the universe next." While nibbling on instant noodles, Feng Baobao said vaguely.

"Very good...... I'll go first. ”

"Oh."

The conversation between the two was also unusually flat, Zheng Shu waved his hand and took the lead in leaving the cemetery, Feng Baobao nodded silently, and did not say anything.

Zheng Shu then went to Changbai Mountain and found Liu Kunsheng and the Black Dragon King.

The people who Zheng Shu used to be more familiar with in the Northeast have basically turned into dry bones, and only these spirits are still alive.

However, Zheng Shu could also see at this gathering that the Black Dragon King, an alien creature battleship, was okay to say, and Liu Kunsheng's body had already appeared old.

Even the spirit actually has its own lifespan limit, but because the level of life evolution is higher, he can live a little longer, but the time of living for hundreds of years has already made him enter old age.

After looking for a circle of old people in this world who could find and gathering, Zheng Shu returned to Baiyun Temple.

After the abbot of this generation instructed him to stay in retreat for a long time, Zheng Shu met Gu Weiting on the way back to his hut.

"I almost forgot you guys were alive."

Zheng Shu looked at Gu Weiting, the body that had become a boy when he was rescued had now become an old man, and he was still wearing the Taoist robe of Baiyun Temple.

"I'm almost up to time, so I'll see you one last time." Gu Weiting smiled, "It seems that luck is good, just in time." ”

"You guy, 'see' is getting clearer and clearer."

Zheng Shu blinked, and the world in front of him suddenly changed.

Colorful silk threads surrounded him, and he could see that there was a line connecting him to the old Gu Teranting, which was the line of cause and effect.

Although this thing could not affect Zheng Shu's actions, Gu Weiting could find Zheng Shu's location with this.

"What's the use of seeing more? In the end, I still can't see through you! Gu Weiting sighed.

After the two chatted for a while, Zheng Shu returned to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, taking one last look at the house where he had lived for a century, Zheng Shu sighed, and his body slowly dissipated into the air.

……

……

In space, the silver-white disc UFO shook and lit up again.

"Like...... There are no more acquaintances in the universe to see. ”

Those people on the transcendent planet have basically changed, and another Wu Da he is more familiar with has also left the galaxy decades ago.

The distance he had left was too far, even beyond the limit of what Zheng Shu's current strength could reach.

"Speaking of power......"

Zheng Shu entered a state of concentration again, looking at the mass of power in the depths of his consciousness.

It was the "remnant" of what he had done to "prey" and scavenge his memories, and it was a "credential" that could become an immortal.

Zheng Shu's strength has already reached the standard, as long as he wants, he can use this certificate to become a new immortal in this world at any time.

And because of the specificity of the "one" itself, even if the user uses this mass of credentials to become an immortal, the user will not lose himself.

"Forget it, though!"

Looking at this mass of credentials, Zheng Shu did not hesitate to mobilize his strength and exclude it from his body.

As soon as he left Zheng Shu's body, this glowing evidence quickly collapsed, and it was enough for anything that anyone wanted to dissipate into the world so easily.

It's not that Zheng Shu is not interested in the power of immortals, but he has a certain speculation in his heart about the rules he crosses, so he will do an experiment next.

"Now that there is no concern in the red dust, it's time to enter a new journey."

Pulling out the panel and looking at the pale blue light curtain in front of him, Zheng Shu calmly gave an order.

"Panel, go through!"

[Instruction Received]

[Consume 100% of the Impact Factor Collection Progress]

[Out of the world.] 】

Looking at the information flashing on the panel, the blue-green crystal of Zheng Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.

His guess was correct, and this time the information had changed significantly compared to the information from the previous two world crossings.

But before he could continue to do something, Zheng Shu lost consciousness again.

……

……

When Zheng Shu's consciousness reawakened, he found himself in a strange world again.

The surroundings were still similar to mosaics, and it seemed that the panel was shielded for the sake of his mental capacity.

This time, Zheng Shu's state was much stronger than before, and he didn't feel too uncomfortable when he saw those mosaics.

However, Zheng Shu is quite sure that this is not the result of the growth of his strength on the surface.

The reason is the information prompted on the panel:

[Capture a new world.] 】

【Testing......

[There is a difference between the law of the world and the user, which is less than the warning area, and can be entered.] 】

[If the user's ability development is detected, you can enable early wake-up]

[It is about to invade the world wall, and the existence of the reinforcement template in the user's body is detected, whether to selectively peel it off.] 】

[The user already has an enhancement template:

Aort

The Lion of Nemea

Hercules (non-divinity)

Half-breed (King's Blood Strengthened, White King's First Vein)]

Obviously, compared to the reinforcement template that can be peeled off at any time, what can really change Zheng Shu is the so-called standard of capability development.

Scanning the information on the panel, Zheng Shu glanced at his body by the way, and sure enough, as he expected, the body did not turn into a mass of souls like before, but maintained the UFO image of Aort.

"It seems that my guess is correct, not every crossing has to be stripped of the body to such a clean state."

The biggest difference between Zheng Shu and the first two worlds in the world under one person is that he himself does not have too deep a connection with the rules of the world.

In fact, there was already a hint when the panel forcibly stripped his reinforcement template before:

[Note!! The user's body and mind are deeply connected to the world, and they need to be completely stripped before leaving, and all the impact factors consumed on template enhancement will be returned after stripping. 】

Of course, Zheng Shu will not ignore such important information, in the dragon world, he has become a dragon king who has a deep connection with the rules of the world, and in order to resist Oort in the moon world, Zheng Shu also strengthened the strengthening template about the gods at the beginning.

So when he was in the world under one person, he held back the possibility of becoming an immortal, and ensured that all his power came from himself.

In this way, it seems that his guess is very accurate, and sure enough, as long as he does not have too deep a connection with the previous world, he can no longer be forcibly stripped to the soul left.

"The first panel rule tentative research goal is achieved, and the second ...... is next"

Looking at the several reinforcement templates that appeared on his panel, Zheng Shu thought for a moment, and then quickly chosen.

【Instruction Accepted】

[The user has selected the Alter, Half-Blood Enhancement Template Stripping.] 】

[The enhancement template has been stripped off, and the impact factor spent has been fully returned]

Index Factor Collection Progress:18093%

Zheng Shu's original UFO body shrank rapidly, and soon, those silver-white carapaces reverted to a tall humanoid form.

However, this human form is slightly strange, and looks more like a highly beastly orc.

Zheng Shu took a look at his hands, in addition to the animal ears on his head and the tail on his back, his hands and feet have also become meat pads, and the nails of his five fingers have become like felines that can be retracted at will.

This is the effect of the fully reinforced Nemea Lion Enhancement template.

However, such a thing is no longer a trouble for Zheng Shu now, and under the activity of his mind, the bestial characteristics on his body quickly faded.

The animal's ears and tail retracted, the hair on its body retracted into its pores, and the palms and soles of its feet returned to their normal human appearance.

Take control of your body and mind.

As long as his own strength is strong enough to reach a certain level, he can naturally master the ability, for Zheng Shu now, his body is actually a clay toy that can be changed at will.

Maintaining a human form is just a matter of habit, and if necessary during battle, he can even grow multiple arms at will to fight the enemy in groups.

"Two templates should be enough for most of the problems. panel, enter a new world. ”

[Instruction Received]

【Start Invasion of the World Wall】

……

……

New York, Manhattan.

In the shadows between a tall building, in a place where no one was paying attention, a figure appeared here silently.

The figure looks unusually tall, at first glance it looks more than two meters tall, and the muscles on its body are very muscular, and the muscles on its arms alone may be thicker than the waist of an ordinary person.

His face looks unremarkable and he can't judge his age too accurately, and his highly developed muscles make him look like he should be in a young adult, but the indifference and calm in his eyes are not like the look that can be possessed by the most active age of human beings.

"Interesting...... I'm not sure yet, but my second guess about the panel rules should be correct. ”

Zheng Shu felt that the surrounding environment had changed as soon as he saw a flower in front of him.

He only glanced around slightly, and judged his position from the information around him.

Zheng Shu's second guess about his goldfinger rule is that every time he crosses, the panel is likely to put himself in a relatively safe environment.

Judging from this environment, there is a high probability that my guess is correct.

After all, if you really have to calculate it, even if the panel will use the planet as the main landing point when it shuttles through the world, the probability of throwing itself into an environment that is not suitable for survival is much higher than the probability of throwing it into such a stable environment.

But counting the reincarnation in the dragon world, it has been like this for four consecutive crossings.

It can be basically assumed that the panel is likely to protect the safety of its own user as the basic rule when traveling through time and space, so that you don't have to worry too much about the security after crossing in the future.

"In this way, I can feel a little more at ease when I travel through the world in the future. As for what's next...... It's time to see what the new skills are. ”

His mind sank to the depths of his consciousness, and Zheng Shu pulled the light blue light curtain in front of his eyes.

【Successfully traversed the world】

Truth display: You can display information related to the target thing in front of you, and the richness of the information is directly proportional to the user's understanding of the thing.

“……”

Zheng Shu looked at the new skills provided by the panel and fell into a moment of silence.

The skills offered by the panel are as abstract as ever, and at first glance they seem to be great, but the focus is on the following sentence.

The richness of the information obtained is directly proportional to the knowledge of the thing...... Does that mean that the more I know about it, the more information I get?

Pinching his nose, Zheng Shu decided to try it out first to see the specific effect of this skill.

Casually pressed his hand on the wall of the building next to him, and a white light curtain similar to the attribute bar in the game immediately popped out in front of Zheng Shu's eyes, marking all kinds of information about the building.

Looking at the messy mess of information on it, Zheng Shu's face was a little strange, and then he looked at the building carefully, and then pressed his hand on it again.

Looking at the information that appeared on the "Attribute Bar" subsequently, Zheng Shu finally became interested.

"I see, if the information display of everything is the same, then the effect of this skill is much better than I imagined, and the usefulness is probably comparable to that of the magic conch."

After confirming that the new skill worked well, Zheng Shu's mood improved a lot, and he immediately began to collect information about this world.

As for how to collect it, the easiest way is to use the panel.

Pulling out a light blue light curtain from the depths of his consciousness, Zheng Shu quickly flipped it to the part of the reinforcement template.

Just a little glance, Zheng Shu's eyes widened involuntarily: "?!" ”

I saw that all the enhancement templates on the light blue light curtain were all lit up, which meant that in this world, Zheng Shu could use all the enhancement templates he had collected!

This was completely unthinkable in the first two worlds.

After obtaining the golden finger for so long, Zheng Shu has basically found out a lot of information, such as the enhancement template, and the enhancement template obtained from other worlds can basically be used only if it adapts to the laws of the current world.

So under normal circumstances, when you first travel to a new world, the reinforcement template on the panel will only light up part of it.

Zheng Shu chose to strip the enhancement template of Oult and the half-breed outside the world wall at the beginning, and kept the enhancement template of Hercules and the lion for the same reason.

In terms of world adaptability, the enhanced templates of Hercules and Nemea Lion should be regarded as the most adaptable and extremely powerful combination in Zheng Shu's collection.

But now, all the enhancement templates obtained in the three worlds of the dragon clan, the type moon, and one person are lit up, which means that the world he is in now can fully adapt to all the laws in the three worlds.

What's more, not only those ordinary enhancement templates, but even the enhancement templates of the dragon world's complete body dragon king, the gods of the moon world, and the immortals of the world under one person are also lit up.

"Shhh...... It doesn't make sense! ”

These three enhancement templates are all extremely entangled in their own world, and theoretically they should no longer be able to be used after leaving this world.
