Hearing Lu Xuan's answer, Old Man Shi Ling seemed to have expected it and was not surprised.
Then, he looked at the black cat next to him with a bit of pride.
The black cat shook his beard and glared at Xuan Lu with an unhappy expression.
Lu Xuan was confused when he saw this.
What he didn't know was that before he returned to the Sumeru Spirit World, Black Cat made a bet with Shi Ling.
For these two special beings who cannot leave the Sumeru spiritual world at will, betting is one of the fun between them in these long and long years.
This time, the content of their bet was what answer Lu Xuan would bring back?
Black Cat believes that humans will eventually choose a conservative plan, which is to rebuild the seal of the earth and let the earth be completely blocked again.
Humans are a greedy and stupid race. This is the conclusion it has drawn from observing humans for a hundred thousand years. Even though it was asleep for most of the time, it thinks it has a deep understanding of humans.
Especially after the disappearance of the spiritual energy, human beings actually broke out at war with each other and engaged in meaningless internal strife. Today's human beings are no longer as powerful as their masters were at the time!
Black Cat thought how could such a weak group of guys dare to face the threat of deep space?
What's more, they have already told Lu Xuan what happened a hundred thousand years ago. How could humans today resist an enemy that was so powerful that humans a hundred thousand years ago couldn't resist it?
Even if a hundred thousand years pass, the enemy will most likely still exist!
Therefore, Black Cat believes that he will choose to return to the Dao Universe only if he is hopelessly stupid.
Shi Ling's idea is exactly the opposite.
He feels that although human beings are weak today, after years of attacks by monsters, their willpower has become stronger than ever before, and they persist to this day with an unyielding spirit!
On the contrary, human beings a hundred thousand years ago had a very high self-esteem. Most people did not take the races in deep space into consideration at all, and acted too recklessly, which would lead to subsequent failure!
Therefore, he feels that humans on earth may make different decisions this time.
Sure enough, the answer given by Lu Xuan did not disappoint him. Humanity chose to return the earth to the Dao Universe!
After hearing Lu Xuan's reply, Old Man Shi Ling showed a satisfied smile on his face.
The owner spent so much time and effort arranging everything before his death, not only hoping that human beings can continue to live, but also to preserve the seeds, hoping that they can sprout and bloom again after a long time!
If you choose to escape blindly, even if you can usher in temporary stability, you will still be completely destroyed in the next crisis. After all, dangers do not all come from the outside!
Don't look at the unhappy look on Black Cat's face, it's just because he lost the bet.
Its thoughts are similar to his own, both hoping that humans can go out, but he has no confidence in the current human race.
That's why Black Cat was so surprised when he heard Lu Xuan's reply.
At this time, Lu Xuan saw Shi Ling and Black Cat looking at each other, but no one said anything. The atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward for a while, so he took the initiative to ask: "Senior, I don't know that when changing the formation, we need to cooperate. What?"
When talking about the formation, Old Man Shi Ling's expression gradually became serious.
He said seriously: "The sealing formation covers the entire earth and some nearby areas. It is not difficult to transform the formation. You only need to modify the core operation method of the formation. All my research in the past hundred thousand years has been in Prepare for this.”
"However, it should be noted that during the modification of the core of the formation, the formation needs to stop operating and cannot be started again until the core modification is completed. In other words, during this period, the earth will be completely exposed to the universe!"
When Lu Xuan heard this, his expression tightened.
The first thing he thought of was the army of monsters on Xinglan Continent. The reason why they couldn't easily enter the earth was that they were blocked by the earth's formation.
If the formation stops functioning, doesn't it mean that monsters can enter the earth without any hindrance?
Not only monsters, but also other beings in the universe may discover the earth, including the deep space enemies of mankind that Old Man Shiling mentioned before, and the angel of doom who failed to arrive yesterday!
The monsters are not bad. With the current overall strength of the earth, it is no problem to resist them for three days.
The key is those unknown threats!
At this moment, Lu Xuan realized the seriousness of this matter!
He asked solemnly: "Senior, how long will it take to complete the modification?"
Old Man Shi Ling thought for a moment and said, "If everything goes well, it will take three days at the earliest!"
Three days?
Although it doesn't look like it's too long, in the face of unforeseen circumstances, a lot of things can happen in three days. Maybe the earth will be completely destroyed before the transformation of the formation is completed!
The risk completely exceeded their original expectations, and it could even be said that they were risking the survival of the entire planet!
Lu Xuan asked unwillingly: "Senior, is there no other way? Or can the time be shortened?"
When Old Man Shi Ling heard this, he sighed lightly. He could completely understand Lu Xuan's difficulties.
However, this is inevitable.
This transformation changes the core of the formation, so the formation must stop. Three days is already the shortest time expected. If something happens, it will take even longer!
Old Man Shi Ling thought for a while and finally said: "Maybe there is a way to shorten some time!"
Lu Xuan quickly asked: "What can I do?"
Old Man Shi Ling said: "Do you know what kind of stone I am?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be confused. He didn't understand what Shi Ling was talking about now?
However, he still shook his head and said, "Senior, please clarify your doubts!"
"I was originally a blue stone on a high mountain. My master enlightened me and left traces on the stone. He brought me back to the sect for his disciples to understand. Later, under the enlightenment of countless people, I received some blessings from heaven and earth, which allowed me to concentrate my luck on myself. . The master saw this and gave me the name Tao Luck Stone, which means to uphold the Tao Luck of the human race!" Old Man Shi Ling explained.
The black cat beside him looked at him in surprise.
It knew that this stone was called the Dao Luck Stone, but didn't the old stone say before that he was a divine stone that fell from the sky and upheld the Dao Luck of Heaven and Earth?
Unexpectedly, these days, even a stone can be deceived!
Old Man Shiling ignored the black cat's round eyes and continued: "So, I can carry the luck of the human race myself. If you can improve some of the luck of the current human race, you may be able to help me speed up the transformation of the core of the battle method! "
When Lu Xuan heard this, he quickly asked: "What should I do?"
Old Man Shi Ling said: "If we want to improve mankind's luck, on the one hand, we need to create a new way of cultivation suitable for mankind, and on the other hand, we need to improve the overall strength of mankind!"
"The first point is more difficult, so you might start with the second point. Didn't you take away the cultivation method from here? When the formation stops operating, the earth will also usher in a great revival of spiritual energy. If there are a large number of If a person starts cultivating, then his destiny will be greatly improved!"
