Xu Bailian had a dream.

In the dream world, on top of a white cloud, a towering ancient tree breaks through the clouds and reaches the unreachable sky, and at the intersection of the trunk and the white clouds, an old man and a young man sit cross-legged opposite each other, their expressions seem to be a little joking, as if they are watching a good show together.

One of them is the speaker of the Shengyuan Council, the undoubted first person in the territory of human civilization, and the other is the future emperor of the Shengyuan Empire, the genius crown prince Yuan Yi.

In the dream, Xu Bailian miraculously lost the anger that had been used throughout his life, and instead of being disgusted with these two people he had never been accustomed to, he was curious about what they were looking at.

The perspective approached with the flow of thoughts, and saw a small circular pool between Zhou Yu and Yuan Yi, the pool was sparkling, and the outlines of many people could be vaguely revealed.

Xu Bailian couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, what age did they still use this kind of rudimentary projection water curtain? This is the immature technology that the first generation of demon Taoists pieced together from the heritage of the demon race, and it has long been replaced by a more stable and clear projection supernatural power, these two people are retro and reinvigorated.

However, the perspective was a little closer, and Xu Bailian's smile froze.

Because the simple water curtain reflects the figures of many people, and there are thousands of fine silk threads radiating in all directions outside the outline of each person, and the colors and shapes of the lines are different, intertwined and densely intertwined, making the picture in the water curtain seem to be a serious light pollution...... But Xu Bailian is a grandmaster realm after all, and he can see at a glance that those are the "fate line".

Everything that constitutes a person's destiny is contained in these thousands of thin silk threads.

The theoretical basis is that Zhu Junshen uses the apocalypse to determine the number of human lives, and accurately digitizes the elusive concept.

However, even with the ability to break numbers, it is impossible to reduce the concept of life to a few simple sets of numbers. The initial result of Zhu Junshen is to construct an unusually large matrix, in which each number is closely related to the surrounding environment and changes in real time. So the final result presented, except for Zhu Junshen himself, and a few other people with profound mathematical attainments, no one can understand it anymore.

The pool between Zhou Yu and Yuan Yi is based on this theory, turning the fate matrix determined by Zhu Junshen into thousands of intuitive lines, and the intersection of lines can weave the shape of the future more clearly.

Where is this water curtain projection supernatural power, it is clearly an artifact to peek into fate.

Xu Bailian only glanced at it, and knew that this meant that Zhou Yu had gone far ahead of him in the theory of the Demon Dao.

This retro-style pool, although its appearance is simple, contains the pinnacle crystallization of today's human demonic civilization, and it is a treasure worthy of any demonic monk's amazement.

However, Zhou Yu and Yuan Yi did not seem to take such results to heart at all when they faced this thing.

Yuan Yi slightly restrained his playful smile and said, "Teacher, the evolution of the situation this time is beyond your control. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head indifferently: "How can I control the overall situation of the world? I can't even control my successor." ”

Yuan Yi immediately put on a playful smile again, pretending that he didn't understand the sentence.

Zhou Yu reluctantly continued: "I'm just conscientious and improvised, although the evolution of the situation this time is beyond our control, it is undoubtedly very beneficial to us. I thought that the Immortal Tree would be silent in the Western Continent for a hundred years, but now they took the initiative to welcome it back, which shows that the turmoil in the spirit world is really a little irrepressible. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Yi nodded and said, "I didn't count the spirit realm before, because I didn't think about it." ”

"It has nothing to do with you, things outside the human realm, even the people of the Apocalypse can only peek into a hazy shadow, let alone the spiritual realm? An important reason why the Immortal Tree is rooted in the Western Continent is that we need to grasp the mysteries of the spiritual realm. In addition to the spirit realm, the Qin royal family's thirst for immortality also exceeded expectations, and they were more greedy and short-sighted than the council had speculated. ”

This sentence made Xu Bailian nod again and again with great relief in his dream, and almost had a tendency to wake up, and hurriedly suppressed his impulse, just like an ignorant teenager who was unwilling to suddenly wake up in a spring dream.

Xu Bailian has a somewhat cynical personality, and he never adds color to those demon Taoists who are born in high positions. And Zhou Yu and Yuan Yi are both typical aristocratic backgrounds, so Xu Bailian also has a good impression of them...... The only exception is when listening to them in the Black Qin Kingdom.

As long as the Black Qin Kingdom, we are brothers!

But then, just when Xu Bailian had already set up the bench and was ready to enjoy this dream comparable to a gorgeous spring dream, Yuan Yi changed the topic.

"The Qin people are short-sighted and greedy, but unfortunately Shengyuan is not inferior at all, this immortal tree is rooted in the Eastern Continent after all, and the people who laugh at the Western Continent are short-sighted and greedy, which is somewhat unjustifiable. ”

Zhou Yu laughed: "It's also a shame that you, the Prince of Shengyuan, can say such rebellious words...... Yes, human beings are greedy and short-sighted creatures, so human nature is common, and the evil of the Qin people, Shengyuan will not lack at all. This westward plan, everyone knows that it is important, but only one person is willing to stand up and take on the heavy responsibility, but his motives have nothing to do with the general righteousness, which confirms the four words greed and short-sightedness, which is also extremely ironic. ”

Yuan Yi said instead: "But I prefer this kind of greedy and short-sighted little person, easy to control, and without any moral burden, he has a perverse personality, and can even have a lot less social trouble." Otherwise, according to the general procedure, this kind of academic group goes to sea, and I, as a prince, have to come forward to practice it, and he doesn't need it, anyway, I hate each other. ”

Zhou Yu also shrugged: "Me too, even polite words are saved, this is the benefit of tool people." ”

Xu Bailian only trembled when he heard it.

These two bastard things...... I thought they were brothers!

Next, Yuan Yi said with a straight face: "But I really didn't expect him to lose so badly." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Who would have expected that, in the entire Western Continent, there are only two people whose combat power is above him, and even if Zhu Junshen makes a move, he will defeat it at most, repel it, and never defeat it...... Ying Ruoying, we still underestimate her too much. ”

Yuan Yi said: "I haven't underestimated her, after all, she is the only grandmaster in the Western Continent who has completely withdrawn from immortality, and this willpower can be called the first grandmaster, but she can actually defeat Xu Bailian with a crushing attitude, this is really incomprehensible, objectively speaking, her strength and Xu Bailian are at most between the best, right?"

Zhou Yu looked at the pool and said: "If you have to use Zhu Junshen's set of digital algorithms, it is indeed about the same, but there is a restraint relationship between the fighting styles of the two, you see in the picture just now, once the line of the two people's lives begins to entangle, Ying Ruoying will pull Xu Bailian's life like a devastating one, this is the perfect relationship between restraint and restraint." ”

Yuan Yi stretched out his hand and probed into the pool, his fingers flicked, and the water immediately showed the brief battle picture of Ying Ruoying and Xu Bailian, and from the dense life network, what he saw was indeed a miserable conclusion.

Zhou Yu said again: "Xu Bailian likes the so-called four or two thousand catties the most, in order to replace the supernatural power and use the strength to defeat those opponents who have great strength but do not know how to play exquisitely. Among the thirteen grandmasters, there are only three people who can surpass him in terms of cognition and control of strength, and among them, there are only me and Zhu Junshen who have actual combat experience, and he has long studied me and Zhu Junshen, even if they really fight, they will only be defeated. Therefore, when he was elected as the representative of the westward journey, he also had this consideration. It's a pity that Ying Ruoying is a hardliner who is not afraid of four or two thousand pounds, she has suffered too many injuries on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, when it comes to the number of fatal injuries, she is afraid that she is more than other grandmasters combined, so her vitality is also more tenacious than others combined, the key point in the ordinary sense does not exist for her at all, whether it is a broken heart or a blood flow is exhausted, she has the ability to continue fighting, and Xu Bailian's core tactics are only four taels to break a thousand catties, and the damage that falls on the opponent is only four taels, there is a limit, which is perfectly restrained by Ying Ruoying。 ”

Zhou Yu summed it up, and Yuan Yi nodded again and again, and echoed: "If you can get this understanding, you won't lose what this tool person sent out, and if you meet Ying Ruoying again in the future, you can be a little prepared...... It's a pity that Xu Bailian lost too badly, and he lost some of Shengyuan's face. ”

Zhou Yu said, "Do you care?"

Yuan Yi shrugged: "The emperor is not me, what do I care about? After my father abdicates, it is not too late for me to care about the country's face." What's more, in my opinion, you have already made a lot of money in such a layout, so how can you afford a small loss of face? In the past few hundred years, for the sake of Shengyuan's face, how many times have you innocently fought with the Qin people, so why bother? It is impossible to really bring the Western Continent under the rule of Shengyuan, and the internal friction for no reason can be as little as possible. ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "With such a cognition, you have seen farther than your father." But speaking of Lizi, the Shengyuan Council just lost a search for the Apocalypse Giant Ship, do you think Lizi earned it?"

Yuan Yi said: "Teacher, this question of yours is too difficult, of course it is earned, the annual maintenance cost of the Apocalypse Giant Ship is tens of millions, but in addition to technical verification, what is the role? Within the territorial waters of the Shengyuan Empire, is there any enemy who needs to dispatch the Apocalypse Giant Ship? If it weren't for the royal family who needed to maintain the relationship with the Fu family at sea, why spend so much money every year to buy that flashy war machine? On the contrary, the Great Qin Empire used all its budget to build golden soldiers and bronze men, which in my opinion is more clever. Throw this big guy who eats gold like a bottomless pit every year to the people of the Qin State to feed, I want to see how Ying Ruoying plans to raise it!"

After a pause, Yuan Yi said again: "Of course, there is one thing to say, the Fu family's shipbuilding skills are indeed unique in the world, and the magic technology contained in the Apocalypse Giant Ship is so clever that even if the Qin people dismantle it and digest it, it will be a lot of benefits...... The problem is that the more they digest and absorb it, the more they will find that without the immortal technology, the core technology of the Apocalypse Giant Ship is meaningless, if you want to learn the core technology of the Giant Ship, you must have the Immortal Tree to help, and this happens to fit our strategic plan. Ying Ruoying seems to have captured a giant ship, but it is equivalent to swallowing a candy that hides poison. ”

After speaking, Yuan Yi raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu, and said with a smile: "At least in the council, I will explain this to the Fu family who are furious, so what do you think of my answer, teacher?"

Zhou Yu's later comments, Xu Bailian couldn't hear it.

In fact, his attention has long been taken away from these calculations.

"I see, she is injured so frequently, she is the most grandmaster in the world, I don't ...... losing to such a person"

Before the words fell, Xu Bailian felt as if his consciousness was sucked in a vacuum, and he drifted away from this cloud.

The dream will wake up.

And when he was about to wake up, Xu Bailian also realized that this was not a real dream.

This is the Grandmaster's dream of the Apocalypse.

The circle of the Demon Dao Grandmaster is very narrow, and they don't look up at each other...... In fact, this is what it refers to, between the grandmasters who have touched the Apocalypse, sometimes there will be a strong resonance or bond, and the Apocalypse under the same Immortal Tree is even more closely connected, and sometimes it is impossible to think of it.

So the conversation between Zhou Yu and Yuan Yi is probably true.

These two conspiracy masters really calculated everything from the beginning, and they were instructed to send them to the Western Continent as tool people, and they didn't really expect themselves to "win glory for the country" from the beginning

In other words, even if they become a national disgrace, they can lose the harvest of the East.

Only Xu Bailian, who is a tool man, will not get any benefit in this matter.

"However, you have your calculations, and I have my gains. ”

The next moment, Xu Bailian opened his eyes and saw a pale ceiling, and his body shook slightly, as if he was on the waves.

This is the Apocalypse Ship...... The bottom cabin, the warehouse used only to stack goods, can clearly smell a musty smell in the nose.

In the Demon Dao Giant Ship, the highest masterpiece of the Shengyuan Empire, almost every detail is pursued meticulously, even the toilet will be cleaned by the sailors every day.

This kind of musty smell is really only possible in the cabin at the bottom, and Xu Bailian, who was thrown here to sleep, also enjoyed the same treatment as garbage.

But what about garbage?

He originally grew up in the garbage mountains of the slums, and after many years of being a garbage man, he was unearthed for his demonic talent, and because of his perverse and radical personality, even if his cultivation became more and more profound, he was still avoided by his peers.

He had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment.

On the contrary, the more adversity he faces, the more optimistic and even a little dark!

Touching the broken ribs on his chest, and touching the bridge of his nose that was completely shattered, Xu Bailian closed his eyes again, but he couldn't help but think of the white-haired and golden-robed figure, infinitely sharp but infinitely beautiful.

Compared to the image that is deeply imprinted in the depths of my mind and will never be erased.

This little injury on the body is a big profit!
