When Lin Li opened his eyes again, the scene in the forest had changed. Lan
The leaves are no longer lush and green, but exuding the dim yellow color of autumn.
I don't know how long this 'retreat' has been.
When they came to the place where the cave was originally, the ferocious beast was still lying there honestly, idly gnawing on a magical beast that was caught from somewhere.
"Daji, how long has it been since I last appeared?" Lin Li asked.
"Luban No. 7, IQ 250, Luban, Luban, top Luban. (Luban No. 7)" The beast shrugged and said after thinking for a while.
"Is anyone approaching here during this time?" Although he didn't understand, it wasn't too important, so Lin Li asked instead.
"The eldest lady is here, get out of the way. (Sun Shangxiang)" The ferocious beast shook his head. Lan
This surprised Lin Li.
Unfortunately, in order to prevent others from finding this place, I found a place far away to skip time.
After confirming this information, Lin Li took out the 'key' again.
"Are you entering the secret realm of "Heavenly Decision"? "
"yes."
When Lin Li's thoughts were conveyed to the spar, Lin Li lowered his head and saw his head wearing an iron bucket - his soul seemed to be transcending his body and flying towards the sky.
Lin Li's eyes gradually darkened as his soul got closer and closer to the blazing sun. Lan
Opening his eyes again, Lin Li saw an almost pure white space, similar to the space when transferring between the copy and the main world.
But the difference is that the ground and surroundings here are tangible and can be seen and touched.
"Go forward."
There is another voice guiding me from the bottom of my heart.
There is indeed a passage in front of us.
Before moving forward, Lin Li thought, and his system panel appeared in front of him normally, and there was no problem with the materialization of props such as steel rods.
Lin Li tried to use his academic ability, but failed. The unique energy belonging to this copy lost its effect in this secret realm. Lan
He didn't know whether it was good or bad. After all, Lin Li's biggest trump card was the system. After identifying the current situation, he walked forward.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Yu Nian."
At the end of the passage, the moment Lin Li walked out, he heard such a voice.
The voice was very familiar, it belonged to the figure who killed him once.
Lin Li looked at the scene in front of him.
There is a huge octagonal wooden table, with a chair on each side, and a middle-aged and elderly person sitting on it.
Of the eight seats in total, seven are already occupied, and only one seat is vacant, right in front of his own passage. Lan
Among the seven people present, Lin Li knew one person—Tianhun, the dean of the inner courtyard of New Oriental School.
The person who just made the sound was a middle-aged man next to Tianhun. He was still looking at him with a smile.
He should be the physical form of the figure.
But it wasn't the kind smile that gave Lin Li the impression that there was an insidious snake spitting out messages behind the smile.
As he opened his mouth, the seven people present all looked at him.
Without changing his expression, Lin Li walked to the only available seat and sat on it.
"Where is this place?" Lin Li asked without specifying a target, looking at the air in front of him. Lan
"This is here." The middle-aged man opened his arms as if this was his territory and he was introducing his collection to Lin Li.
"Little friend, this must be your first time here. Let me help you answer it." An old man sitting next to Lin Li said at this time.
Lin Li ignored the middle-aged man, looked at him, and nodded.
"My name is Gu Pu, and your name is Yu Nian, right? I look very young. The bottom line requirement for entering the secret realm of "Tiandao Judgment" is a "college student" degree. My friend, you can become a "college student" at this age.
You can also snatch a heavenly token from H. I'm afraid you are not a low-level "college student". You have a promising future. "
Gu Pu touched his beard and sighed.
"What is the token of heaven, the bottle of heaven?" Lin Li asked. Lan
"Yes, it will guide the person who owns it to get the key to the secret realm before each "Tiandao Decision" begins. "
】
Lin Li nodded, this was consistent with what he had experienced.
"As for what you just asked, where is this place? This is the secret realm of "Tiandao Decision", a place that determines the future direction of our Xue Po Continent. "Gu Pu continued.
"Everyone has arrived, and the decision of heaven is officially launched."
Tiandao's voice sounded in Lin Li's mind at this time. Judging from the slight change in other people's expressions, I'm afraid everyone heard it.
"The decision has been activated." The simple words paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Li: "Let's listen to what Heaven has to say first."
"The representatives participating in the decision this time are: Hun Shidi, Hun Tian, Hun Wu, Gu Pu, Yan Jin, Lei Ying, Yao Dan, and Lin Li." Lan.
When this sentence completely appeared in his mind, the middle-aged man from the Soul Clan suddenly looked at Lin Li.
"You are not Yu Nian, you are...Lin Li." He said with a hint of sinisterness and confusion, "Lin Li who died in my hands a year ago?"
"I'm not Lin Li, my name is Hun Lin Li." Lin Li no longer concealed his voice, using his own accent, looking straight into the middle-aged man's gaze calmly.
After answering, Lin Li asked: "Your name is Hun Wu?"
"What a humble name that is. As the spokesperson of Heaven, my name is Hun Shidi." The middle-aged man responded, his eyes still locked on Lin Li.
He didn't understand why Lin Li wasn't dead yet.
He saw with his own eyes that Lin Li turned into a puddle of powder in front of him. Lan
Of course Hun Wu was present, that is, the old man next to Hun Tian. He faced such ridicule from Emperor Hun Shi without any trouble.
Of course, it may be that they don’t dare to cause trouble.
Lin Li no longer looked at Emperor Hun Shi, but recalled the name he just heard.
Except for himself, they all have the surnames of the eight major families. Among them, the Xiao, Shi, and Ling clans who were in decline or exterminated in the original work do not appear in this copy.
In their place were two soul tribesmen and Lin Li.
"In this decision, since Emperor Hunshi was the last selected general representative, his vote value is calculated as 2 units during this voting process, and the vote value of the remaining people is 1 unit."
"When faced with a decision-making issue, raising your hands and extending your palms is deemed to be agreement, raising your hands and clenching your fists is deemed to be veto, and all other actions are deemed to be abstention."
"When the number of non-abstention votes is tied, the number of abstention votes becomes invalid and a new choice must be made."
"The total number of votes is nine, and the minority obeys the majority."
The voice of heaven continued to sound.
"You also heard the voice of Tiandao." Gu Pu continued to explain to Lin Li at the same time, "In this secret realm, Tiandao will hand over some extremely important issues related to the world to us to make a choice whether to continue to implement them.
Tiandao will implement the choices we make in the next hundred years until the next "Tiandao Decision" secret realm is opened. "
Lin Li got weirder and weirder the more he listened.
Why do you feel like you are attending a conference? Lan
This is... the Congress of the People’s Ming Dynasty - Xue Po Cang Qiong version?
Although it feels very crude, in this dungeon, Lin Li actually said that he could accept it, which is quite normal.
But then, Lin Li realized a problem.
In the case where the value of Soul Shi Emperor's vote is 2, if he originally belonged to the New Oriental School, a position controlled by the Soul Clan, and he is also a member of the Soul Clan, then the total value of the ticket is 2+1+1+1.
5.
Hasn’t this become the hall of the soul clan?
["I am... the way of heaven."] Lan
Emperor Hun Shi was actually right, the way of heaven... at least this secret realm of "Decision of the Way of Heaven" had always been under the control of his soul clan before today.
"Yu... Xiaoyou Lin, I think you are also aware of that problem."
Noticing the slight change in Lin Li's expression, Gu Pu nodded and said:
"Yes, before today, the existence of our four major families was meaningless, because no matter what, any decision-making issue given by Heaven or raised by us, whether it is passed or not, is controlled by the Soul Clan.
The Soul Clan used special means to take all the representatives of the Xiao Clan, Stone Clan, and Spirit Clan to themselves.
If they want to pass, they will pass; if they don't want to, they will not pass.
Even if our four major families work together to resist them, there is no way. Lan
Therefore, they do whatever they want, make many decisions that endanger the world, increase their academic qualifications, and persecute other people in the world! And we can only watch the Soul Clan do this! "
The old man's face was full of sorrow, as if he was angry that he couldn't do anything about it.
"But today, everything may turn around! Because your arrival, Lin Li, has taken away a seat from the Soul Clan! This situation will be reversed directly!"
At this point, the old man's attitude became extremely excited, his eyes seemed to light up, and he stretched out his hand to hold Lin Li's palm.
But then, his palm passed through Lin Li's palm.
Their hands became a little unreal at the same time.
"Forgot, because we can't interfere with other people's decisions, we can't touch each other," Gu Pu said. Lan
Lin Li nodded, this setting was reasonable.
"One more thing." Emperor Hun Shi interrupted with a smile:
"Due to the restrictions of Heaven, academic ability cannot be used here, so Lin Li, you can still listen to me lively. For this, you have to be grateful to Heaven. He has allowed your life to extend for a long time.
It's really uncomfortable to see a clown like you jumping around in front of me. "
Lin Li's hand didn't feel like it was touching anything, as if Gu Pu didn't exist for him. After pondering for a while, he completely ignored Hun Shi Emperor and asked Gu Pu:
"Has this secret realm of "Heaven's Decision" existed since ancient times? Open once every hundred years? "
"No." Gu Pu shook his head, "It was after the "Zhaotianlin" incident and Tiandao was furious that Tiandao became disappointed with itself and made such a choice, handing over the governance of the world to the eight most powerful powers at the time. Family - that is, in our hands. Lan
At that time, each of our families held a heavenly token in their hands. Every hundred years, the most virtuous and respected king in the family would come here to participate in the decision-making.
Perhaps the will of Heaven is that we humans can manage ourselves so that the rules of Xuepo Continent can become more perfect.
And in the beginning, when the general representative was the Xiao family, which was the most powerful and pure-minded at the time, this was indeed the case.
Everyone made many reasonable decisions, the whole world was prosperous, evil cultivators had nowhere to hide, and geniuses continued to surge. It was called a golden age.
After a pause of words, the nostalgia on Gu Pu's face turned into pain. He turned to look at Emperor Hun Shi, and his expression became ferocious:
"But Emperor Hun Shi, this insidious villain, has been plotting for a long time. Within a hundred years, he quietly destroyed the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan, and also designed to frame the Xiao Clan and exhaust all the strong men in his family. In order to Survived, but had no choice but to escape from Zhongzhou to a remote area.
After they gained the power of five votes, "Tiandao Judgment", a secret realm for the purpose of learning and breaking the future of the mainland, completely changed and became a tool for the Soul Clan to fulfill their greed. "Lan
To Hun Shi Emperor, these words seemed to be a compliment. He shook his head slightly, facing the ferocious simplicity, his expression was exactly the opposite, he was enjoying himself very much.
"Heaven knew it had become like this, but didn't interfere?"
Lin Li was puzzled.
Since Zhai Tianlin was so angry that he could deal with this person who was half-stepping into the void, shouldn't he be even more angry about this matter?
"Tiandao has been disappointed with himself a long time ago. After seeing that the reform of the secret realm was very effective, we no longer felt his conscious existence, and there was no longer any dialogue." Gu Pu sighed deeply, "To a certain extent Speaking of which, I think the way of heaven is dead.
Died...by suicide.
This secret realm is the body of Heaven, and the eight of us are the brain of Heaven. The issues we pass are the embodiment of Heaven. "Lan
[You have completed the main mission (2/3), and you have obtained [Fighting Qi Winging Technique]*1. 】
[You have used the "Fighting Qi Wings Transformation Technique", you have mastered the "Fighting Qi Wings Transformation Technique": You can now spend a lot of physical energy to condense a pair of wings that can be attached to anyone, and master the ability to fly in a short time. 】
After Gu Pu's words, the news that the mission was completed appeared in Lin Li's mind.
It turns out that the way of heaven that he was searching for has actually committed suicide?
Why is your mentality so fragile?
At the beginning of this copy, Lin Li thought that Tiandao was the same existence as the Lord of the Undead.
It seems to be overestimating it. Lan
Lin Li looked at the last main mission.
[Main mission (3/3): Destroy Emperor Hun Shi. 】
[Task Tips: Location of the Soul Clan]
[Mission reward: "Fighting Qi Teleportation Technique"*1]
[Dou Qi Teleportation Technique: After use, the user will master the ability to teleport with portable objects over short distances, consuming a lot of physical strength.
The stamina consumed is affected by distance and the number of items carried. 】
The reward for the last mission is also good. The ability to teleport is quite practical. For example, you don’t need to buy tickets for any exhibitions in the future (bushi). Lan
As for the elimination of Emperor Hun Shi, this was within Lin Li's expectation.
"Is the existence of the cognitive barrier related to this secret realm?" Lin Li asked again after reading the pop-up message.
"Of course it's relevant. This is the first decision the Soul Clan made after taking control of this secret realm, which is to put on the shackles of cognitive barriers for everyone in the world." Gu Pu said softly.
"Since then, it has become extremely difficult for people in the world to learn and understand knowledge that contains academic ability, and the rate of academic growth has also dropped to the bottom.
Thousands of years ago, even in places with relatively remote resources, the birth of "primary school students" was extremely easy.
At that time, the average age of "first-year junior high school students" was around twenty-three years old. Unlike now, the average age of "first-year junior high school students" is as high as seventy-eight years old. Many people will never reach this level in their entire lives. "
Lin Li: "..." Lan
From "mentally retarded" to "super mentally retarded", right?
This cognitive barrier has not been completely broken down yet.
But then Lin Li realized that the rules of operation of many worlds in this copy were different from those on Earth, such as chemistry and physics, so there was no way to study them in parallel. He could only memorize them by rote like before the cognitive barrier.
"The cognitive barrier is relatively easy to break, right? Your four major families must not have been deceived, and you can definitely help everyone break it, right?"
Lin Li asked.
After all, even Lin Li, an idiot like Laile, could break his cognitive barrier with just a few words. There was no reason why the four major families couldn't do it.
"There is no way." Gu Pu shook his head and sighed deeply: "After the Soul Clan did this, their strength has far surpassed ours. They even tried to seize all the seats that belong to us. Go. Lan
After realizing this situation, our remaining four major families can only unite and watch each other, but they can only recuperate and recuperate in their own clan formations, and there is no extra energy at all.
The Soul Clan has already said that if we try to do this, they will use the strength of the entire clan to kill all our children who are training outside.
We...have no choice. "
There was some shame on the simple face.
After all, he said that he was threatened and did not dare to do this.
Lin Li understood this and said nothing more.
"Did they pass any other decisions?" Lan
"The "Nine-Year Compulsory Education Array". Hundreds of years ago, through the efforts of the Xiao family and with the help of Heaven, the scope of the array spread to the entire continent, first "six years" and then "nine years". At that time, the head of the Xiao family was still studying the "Twelve Years Compulsory Education Array".
pity……
After the Xiao family was designed, the Soul Clan immediately abolished the formation in the entire continent, except for the location in Zhongzhou, and blocked the relevant knowledge...
In addition, it is also stipulated that except for the Zhongzhou area, only low-level secret realms can be opened, while high-level secret realms can only be opened in and around the soul clan territory...
The concentration of academic ability is also divided into three, six or nine levels. Naturally, Zhongzhou has the highest concentration, and the Soul Clan territory has the highest concentration..."
Speaking of this, Gu Pu spoke very fluently.
After all, the crimes committed by the Soul Clan are too numerous to list. Lan
Without exception, they all reduce the difficulty of learning for their own people and increase the learning threshold for others.
The crime is extremely heinous.
"I don't know what you are angry about, Gu Pu." Emperor Hun Shi interrupted with a smile, "In order to shut you up, don't these regulations of mine cover the Zhongzhou area? It's just that there are a little more near our Hun clan. That’s all.”
"I care about the people of the world! I firmly remember the responsibilities and missions that Heavenly Dao entrusted to us." Gu Pu slapped the table and stood up, extremely angry.
"Ha." Emperor Hun Shi just smiled contemptuously.
