"Ah,"
Li Xiu smiled.
Although his smile is very deliberate, coupled with his gentle temperament, it still gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
Li Xiudao: "You don't have to pay any price. As I said just now, Buddha is my friend, and I am only willing to save him out of my friend's affection."
"Thank you." Chengshuo said no more, just cupped his fist and saluted Li Xiu.
The latter turned around and walked towards the depths of the 'Headquarters': "Follow me."
Chengshuo waved his hand, causing the three bodies of Buddha, Thunder and Mother of Pain to float in front of him, and followed Li Xiu closely.
Perhaps it is because the survival breakthrough has reached the integration stage, and he has the qualifications to enter the headquarters, or to enter a higher-level circle.
On the way, Li Xiu rushed to explain as if chatting: "I believe fellow Taoists have heard about it: the forces in the headquarters are complex. They are composed of different forces from the galaxy, and they gradually became what they are today after continuous integration and integration. situation."
"Among them, the forces headed by me, which mainly study biological genetic modification and mechanical ascension technology, basically come from planet T5J-043, which is the Dead Star Territory."
Li Xiu thought for a while and added: "But I am more accustomed to calling the Death Star Territory 'Earth'."
Earth? !
When I heard the word "Earth" come to life, I couldn't help but be surprised.
From what Li Xiu said, we know that the Earth’s number is T5J-043.
The letter T stands for habitable planet.
The number 5 is climate, indicating that the earth is a planet with a climate that is extremely suitable for human habitation.
As for the letter J, it means that the Earth is located in the middle of the Milky Way and slightly closer to the inner ring.
And this is indeed the case.
——Before I traveled through the world, I read on the Internet about the location of the Earth in the Milky Way. According to a rough estimate, its location is almost near the J ring.
Then there is number 043.
The 4 represents the orientation of the solar system.
As for 3, it is the position of the earth in the solar system-the distance between the earth and the sun is just behind Mercury and Venus, ranking third.
So the last number will be exactly '3'.
Thinking of the Earth, a trace of reminiscence appeared in Chenghuo's eyes: "That Earth is the Dead Star Territory. Are there anyone on it now?"
"Of course not."
Li Xiu replied: "The Earth is located in Region J of the Milky Way, which has long been completely destroyed due to contamination by unspeakable creatures."
"So even if there are still humans on the planet, they will only be polluted ones who have been severely polluted."
As he said that, Li Xiu suddenly looked towards Chenghuo.
He said strangely: "I can roughly tell from your tone and expression just now: you seem to be an earthling from the earth."
"But the earth has been completely destroyed by the 'Wu Chou' infection thousands of years ago."
"So it's impossible for there to be any living people left on earth."
"Unless that person is like Buddha, who was born on the earth more than ten thousand years ago and has survived to this day."
Li Xiu's paralyzed face showed a rare expression of doubt, and a look of fanaticism flashed through his eyes: "But I see that Taoist friend, although he is a monk in the integration stage, he is not even a hundred years old." So, could it be that fellow Taoist is a time traveler?"
The other party can even see this?
Seeing what Li Xiu said, Chengshuo couldn't help but be shocked. However, Chengshuo never showed off his appearance. He only said calmly: "Is there really a time-traveler in this world? Or maybe Mr. Li has witnessed it with his own eyes. Have you ever seen a time traveler?”
"Ah,"
Li Xiupi smiled but replied: "Those time-travelers like those in the storybook definitely don't exist in reality, or their existence cannot be proven."
"After all, although the concept of 'parallel time and space' has been proposed, it is difficult to realize or prove the existence of 'parallel time and space', even with the technology of today's headquarters."
"Of course, although traveling through 'parallel time and space' is a bit too ethereal, it is possible for a person to accidentally travel through time and space."
Li Xiu gave an example: "For example, the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation Teleportation Array' from the Cultivation Civilization is an array that can ignore space distance and travel between different planets."
"In addition to artificially created ones, there are also 'wormholes' and 'black holes' that are naturally formed in the universe, so I won't go into details."
"As for time, although time is irreversible, so traveling to the past is impossible, but traveling to the future is possible."
Li Xiu finally looked at Chengshuo and said, "So if fellow Taoist really comes from the earth, it is very likely that he traveled from the earth ten thousand years ago to other planets, and then he has the current cultivation level, and Became a monk in the integration stage."
The calculation was very accurate.
Seeing that Li Xiu's analysis was sound and logical, and that he was not trying to deceive himself, Cheng Sheng simply admitted: "Yes, I do come from the earth, and I did accidentally travel through time and space, and went to a planet called Xuanwu." 's planet."
"Xuanwu Star?"
Li Xiu seemed to know Xuanwu Xing as well.
He said thoughtfully: "Although that planet and the earth are far apart, there is some special connection."
"Actually, several Earthlings have traveled to that planet before you."
As he said that, Li Xiu turned to look at the Buddha next to Chengshuo: "For example, the Buddha next to you, as an earthling, once visited Xuanwu Star. At that time, Xuanwu Star was not called Xuanwu Star, but It’s called ‘Suzaku Star’.”
Is Buddha actually a human being on Earth?
Chengshuo was startled when he heard this, and felt a little speechless for a moment: This universe is too small, right? Since arriving on Black Worm Star, all the people I have met are fellow villagers!
While the two were talking, Chengsheng followed Li Xiu to an underground base at the headquarters.
——The planet number of Black Worm Star is T6Z-081, where 6 means the climate is pleasant but cold, so it is almost winter on Black Worm Star all year round.
In addition, there are many storms and little rain on the surface of Black Worm Planet, and the surface environment is relatively harsh. Therefore, most human settlements are built on underground heat storage layers.
For example, Li Xiu's research base has a shallow magma area thousands of meters below it, which can be used to generate electricity to power the entire base and also to heat the base.
After entering the underground base, what caught Cheng Huo's eyes was a miniature city that had shrunk nearly a thousand times.
There are high-rise buildings and criss-crossing roads in the city.
There are pedestrians and vehicles on the road.
The residents in the city were not surprised when they saw Chenghuo and Li Xiu. They just looked up at the two and continued to mind their own business.
Good guy.
The moment he saw this miniature city, Chengsheng couldn't help but froze in place: "Are all living people in this miniature city?"
"Um"
Survive by your side.
After Li Xiu responded, he explained: "These are also people from the Earth. Twenty thousand years ago, the indescribable creature 'Woo' woke up on the Earth, and then the entire Earth suffered a disaster."
"Me and the scientific researchers in my team, we originally wanted to eliminate the 'Woo-hoo', end this disaster and save the earth."
"But later we discovered that unspeakable creatures are far beyond what we humans can contend with."
"The disaster caused by the nameless creatures is simply unstoppable."
"So we settled for the next best thing, developed mechanical ascension technology at the last moment, and transmitted the consciousness of all surviving Earthlings to the cloud for preservation."
"In the end, after going around and around, I came to the Black Insect Star with the clouds containing the consciousness of countless people on earth."
"After wiping out the 'Insect God' on the Black Insect Star, as well as the countless Zerg and Zerg monks under her, I took all the people on earth to live on this planet permanently."
"As for why people on earth are allowed to live in this miniature city."
Li Xiu explained: "In fact, the main task of us humans today is to develop technology with all our strength to fight against unspeakable creatures."
"Then in the process of conducting various scientific and technological experiments, naturally the smaller the experimenter, the less resources are consumed."
"That's why my scientific researchers have reduced their body size thousands of times."
"Then my body shape has always been maintained at normal size. This is to facilitate communication with the outside world and with practitioners."
Different from the monks who were born from the cultivation civilization.
Monks emphasize individual mastery of great power and transcendence into saints, so they cannot give up or change their bodies at will, let alone shrink themselves to thousands of times.
Li Xiu and others who were born in a technological civilization do not need to practice, so they can give up their bodies at any time, or ascend mechanically, or even shrink themselves nearly thousands of times.
These don't have much impact.
Inside the underground base.
Li Xiu continued to recall: "Because the Black Worm Star is located in the 'Z' zone of the Milky Way, it has almost never been invaded by unspeakable creatures. Therefore, in the following more than ten thousand years, humans from various planets continued to escape. Take refuge on the Black Worm Planet."
"Among them are powerful people from the cultivation civilization, and even monks in the Void Return Stage."
"There are also forces like 'Headquarters' that were born from technological civilization."
"Then the various forces continued to integrate and merge with each other, and today's 'headquarters' emerged."
In the underground base.
While Li Xiu was talking, a virtual 4D projection screen suddenly appeared in front of him for no reason.
While controlling the projection screen, Li Xiu continued to introduce: "Currently, there are three monks in the Void Return Stage in our headquarters, who are in retreat in the 'Unspeakable Place'."
"There are a total of twenty-one Fusion Stage monks. Six of them have lost contact, the other five have gone to other planets, and the remaining ten Fusion Stage monks are stationed on the Black Worm Star."
"An indescribable place?" Chengshuo looked at Li Xiu with confusion on his face.
The latter explained: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it is a space where the flow of time is slower than that of the outside world: for every ten days in the outside world, only one day passes in the indescribable place."
Isn't this the so-called "one day in heaven, one year on earth"?
Hearing Li Xiu's explanation, Chengshuo became even more confused: "So are there any benefits to being in the 'Unspeakable Land'?"
"Nothing good comes of it."
Li Xiu replied: "It's just because today's human beings are not strong enough to compete with the 'unspeakable creatures', so the monks in the Void Return Stage have all hid in the 'unspeakable place'."
"The flow of time in the Indescribable Place is slower, so monks in the Return to Void Stage can live longer if they are there."
"In this way, our human side's Void Return Stage monks can accumulate more and more and continue to grow in strength."
After listening to this, Cheng Huo realized something: So, this is equivalent to the monks in the return to void stage, using the indescribable place to delay their own aging.
In this case, it is not surprising that there are three Void Return Stage monks in the headquarters of Black Worm Star.
In the base.
Li Xiu controlled the 4D projection screen and created three bodies out of thin air in front of the survivors, with the cultivation level of Nascent Soul stage and the appearance of Thunder, Buddha and Mother of Pain.
"Ah,"
Li Xiu has obviously ascended mechanically, and his body no longer has human emotions, but he loves to laugh very much.
He forcibly raised the corners of his face and explained to Chengshuo: "Since we have mastered the mechanical ascent technology, we naturally also have 3D printing technology, but this printing technology also has an upper limit: if it is exhausted, it can only print out something with The body cultivated in the Nascent Soul stage.”
As Li Xiu spoke, he controlled various instruments and equipment in the base and transferred the remaining true spirits of Buddha, Thunder and Mother of Pain into new bodies.
After a while, the three of them woke up one after another.
"That's probably what happened."
Li Xiu glanced at Chengshuo, then looked at Thunder, Buddha, and Mother of Pain and said, "In short, it was Cheng Daoist who desperately brought you three back to the Black Insect Star, and then I took action to reshape your bodies."
"Although your current bodies are only at the Nascent Soul stage, after all, you are all monks at the God Transformation stage, and your realm is still there, so it won't be long before you can break through to the God Transformation stage again and regain your full power. Time’s strength.”
"Then the only hidden danger is: since you are all using artificial bodies, it is probably impossible to continue to break through to a higher realm."
"No surprise: you will always be in the stage of becoming a god in this life."
In the underground base.
After hearing what Li Xiu said, the Mother of Pain showed a look of loneliness in her eyes: "Alas"
She let out a long sigh, saying nothing.
Lei Lei was unwilling to do so.
He only lost his mind for a short while, then raised his head full of fighting spirit, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
As for Buddha
He looked at Li Xiu and said: "Old Li, I went to the T5A-0213 planet this time because of you, and now I almost lost my life, and then if something happened, you just resurrected me, and you didn't show any respect at all? ?”
"How about this"
Li Xiu thought for a while and said: "Anyway, you have already changed into an artificial body, so you can just break it."
"I will give you two more bodies. You only need to leave a trace of consciousness on these two bodies. Then in the future, when you die on other planets, you can be resurrected on these two bodies. This is equivalent to letting You gained two extra lives out of thin air."
"how?"
Li Xiu said this not only to the Buddha, but also to the Mother of Pain and Thunder.
He said to Thunderbolt and Mother of Pain: "The same goes for you. I will give you both a backup body, which is equivalent to giving you both an extra life."
"And in exchange, you two have to do something for me."
"How's it going? This deal isn't a loss, is it?"
Although Li Xiu was expressionless at this time, no matter how he looked at Chengsheng, he felt like an old fox.
As a good friend of Li Xiu, Buddha was even more direct: "Old Li, why do I feel like you have planned all of this: just wait for something to happen to a few of us, and then you can bribe us with artificial bodies and let us join." Is this your side?”
